Chapter 312: Swinging the Army Eastward (3)
After the meeting of cadres above the platoon level of the Jizhong Army, Liu Yimin performed tactical actions again, and asked Meng Qingshan and Lu Zhengying to draw out 18 platoon commanders and personally guide everyone to do tactical actions.
Seeing that it was time to have lunch, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan went down to several companies of the Jizhong Army, had dinner with the soldiers, and explained and answered the questions raised by some cadres and fighters about tactics and movements, mass work, and the questions raised by some cadres and fighters about the tactics and movements, the mass work, and the questions about wanting to be transferred to the main force of the instructor and the study of the instructor's team.
In the afternoon, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan rode their horses to the air defense brigade and inspected the newly formed units of the air defense brigade.
In the Second Air Defense Regiment, the newly appointed regiment commander Long Huwa had already lined up the team. As soon as they saw the brigade commander accompanying the division commander and the political commissar, Long Huwa and the new political commissar Qin Jingyi both ran forward to salute and report.
Liu Yimin glanced at Long Huwa, the first Red Army machine gun shooter he met in Xinwei after crossing over, not only did not die by the Xiangjiang River as in history, but followed him to fight in the south and the north, and has grown into a special hero of our army, a regiment commander who can write and fight. Looking at Qin Jingyi, who he rescued from the Four Fronts Army, he was originally a black, thin and short person, but now he was standing there with vigor and vigor.
Liu Yimin knew that Li Chang and Wang Shanzhu's artillery brigade and Wang Runqing's heavy machine gun regiment had done a good job in training cadres, and that the cadres sent were all trained from the battalion and company cadres trained by the old 18th Regiment and the guard division, and that the squad and platoon commanders were all trained from the soldiers who joined the Red Army after the occupation of Chengdu. This part of the people were all Red Army cadres who had been reborn from the ashes.
Liu Yimin was overjoyed in his heart and was full of pride, and with such a group of extremely loyal backbone cadres who had gone through the test of war and were brought out by his own words and deeds, he would be able to ensure the continuous development and growth of the troops. When they arrive in Shandong, as soon as the troops are deployed, as long as they give an order, the troops will develop rapidly, and the battalion commander will become a regiment commander, the regiment commander will become a brigade commander, and the brigade commander will become a division commander. I'm afraid Xiao Yueben never dreamed that they scared Han Fuqu away, but attracted the main force of the Eighth Route Army. This Shandong will become a powerful base for the Chinese to defeat Yu himself in the future.
Liu Yimin, who was happy in his heart, walked quickly to the team, carefully sorted out the military appearance and posture of each soldier, and softly asked those new soldiers what their names were, where they were from, and when they joined the army.
After being busy for nearly two hours, Liu Yimin walked back to the front of the team and stood still, his eyes swept from the head of the platoon to the end of the line, and said loudly: "The air defense brigade is a heroic unit and a glorious unit. Comrade Li Yimo, former commander of the air defense brigade, was not timid in the face of the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the Yue Kou aircraft group, and led the air defense regiment to fight back, creating a brilliant record of shooting down 37 Yue planes in one day. Comrade Li Yimo died as a martyr and fulfilled his vow to fight for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people all his life. β
Speaking of this, Liu Yimin's eyes appeared again with Li Yimo leading an air defense regiment to meet the enemy planes, and there was a trace of trembling in his voice: "The glorious deeds of the martyrs are an example for us to learn. To learn from Comrade Li Yimo, we must learn from him who was loyal to the party and the people, from his ceaseless life and struggle, from his fearlessness in the face of a strong enemy, and from his courage to sacrifice and dedication. We are revolutionary soldiers, the glorious invincible Eighth Route Army led by [***], our banner is soaked with the blood of the martyrs, no matter who it is, can not stop our battle flag from flying high. Xiao Yue can't do it, and no other enemy can do it! I want to see if our newly established Second Air Defense Regiment can carry on the legacy of the martyrs, so that the military aviation will pee their pants at the mention of our air defense troops. Comrades, do you answer me, do you have faith? β
The newly formed Second and Third Air Defense Regiments were built on the basis of the original First Air Defense Regiment and were built after replenishing cadres and recruits. Especially those cadres who have been trained in the training team, they are dreaming about how to take revenge. Hearing the division commander ask if they were confident, all the cadres and soldiers in the audience, including Han Qianjian, who was standing on the side, all held back their strength and shouted: "Yes!" β
Seeing that morale was high, Liu Yimin ordered a drill.
Long Huwa and Qin Jingyi immediately commanded the troops to conduct training exercises such as air defense post vigilance, artillery emplacement, and air defense combat, and asked the division commander and political commissar to guide them.
Although it was a newly built regiment, and its tactical movements were stiff and immature, Liu Yimin was quite satisfied with the exercise of the Second Air Defense Regiment. He knew that as long as the morale came up, the level of technical combat could be slowly improved. Therefore, after the exercise, Liu Yimin proposed that the troops increase the training subjects of using antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns to attack trains, ironclad trains, tanks, and armored vehicles, and asked Han Qianqian to organize the troops to get a good grasp of exploration, sum up a set of training methods, and use antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns to deal with the ironclad train of the Chinese army when the army marches eastward across the Tianjin-Pudong railway, so as to ensure the smooth eastward advance of the main force.
In the evening, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan stayed in the Second Air Defense Regiment and talked with the cadres and soldiers respectively to find out the deficiencies found in the training.
After Li Lingfeng led the 2nd and 3rd Special Warfare Squadrons to infiltrate Baoding, he quickly found the location of the airport. Unfortunately, due to repeated air raids on the airport, the guard units were extremely vigilant, and the password was changed three times, and if one was wrong, it would immediately be machine-gun fire, and it did not care whether the other party was wearing military clothes or Chinese clothes.
After observing for two days in a row, he felt that there was no gap at all, and Li Lingfeng had no choice but to decide to attack.
However, the storm was very difficult, except for the main road in and out of the airport, the devils laid mines around the airport, and bells were hung on the barbed wire.
If the disguised devils failed to sneak attack, it would not succeed, and it would take too long to dig tunnels, so Li Lingfeng thought about whether to send a telegram to the division commander, asking him to give up the sneak attack on the Yuejun airfield and instead destroy the railway bridge.
The turnaround came suddenly.
After the 23 rd Division of the Army was transferred north to defend the main road, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara was busy in the dark, constantly urging the troops to get a good grasp of the construction of fortifications, and he had to personally go to see the fortifications in important areas and personally conduct explosion tests to see if they could withstand the blows of the artillery group of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army. While busy arranging and repairing fortifications, he also had to keep the radio constantly sending reports to the base camp to quickly replenish the combat losses. Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara was still not at ease, and he was in a state of imminent battle all day long, for fear that the Eighth Route Army instructor would kill his defense line at any time. Because he knew that the instructors of the Eighth Route Army used the artillery of the imperial army, and the artillery force was much stronger than that of his 23rd Division.
After being busy and finally building a relatively satisfactory defensive line, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, so he calmed down and thought about whether there were any loopholes in the defensive line. Thinking about it, I found that I didn't personally inspect the defense of Baoding Airport, in case there was a loophole, and if the planes of the Eighth Route Army were allowed to sneak attack, it would be a big loss. Even if the planes of the Eighth Route Army are not attacked, wouldn't the cunning Liu Yimin send troops to sneak attack? Then Liu Yimin even dared to attack and occupy Tianjin, what is Baoding Airport in his eyes? Besides, since the United Fleet Air Force blew up and killed Liu Yimin's air defense brigade commander, this guy has already started a series of retaliation actions, maybe this Baoding airport is on his revenge list.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I should go to check the defense of Baoding Airport immediately, and it was best to go now. Just as he was leaving, he received a telegram from General Shouichi Terauchi, asking him to strengthen the defense of Baoda Road and strictly prevent the main force of Liu Yimin's tutor from raiding.
Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara read the telegram from General Terauchi Toshiichi and felt that he was still in command, so he sent Chief of Staff Εnazi Daisa to inspect the airport.
Ouchi Zi Dasa was born in Miyagi, and when he went to the army non-commissioned officer school, he studied the cavalry department, so he has a kind of arrogance and arrogance unique to the cavalry of the army. Historically, after Lieutenant General Ouchi Daisa and Lieutenant General Komatsubara Michitaro launched the Battle of Nomenkan, they were killed by the Soviet-Mongolian army and posthumously awarded the rank of major general.
After receiving the order from Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara to inspect the defense of Baoding Airport, Ouchi Daisa was very unimpressed, believing that the defense of the airport was now very perfect, and it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack the airport. Therefore, he first made a telephone call to the airport to inquire about the troop disposition and whether there was any abnormality, and then informed the airport that he would go to inspect the airport's defense on behalf of Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, and asked the airport to make preparations for it.
Da Neizi Dazuo didn't know that his phone call not only buried his surname, but also buried Baoding Airport.
After Li Lingfeng received the report of the team members who listened to Yue Jun's phone call, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned Zhao Yonggang and Zhao Zhiyu to study the action plan. In the end, it was decided to secretly attack and occupy Dongshiqiao Village outside Baoding City, disguise the army to intercept Da Neizi Dazuo and his entourage, who had come from Renqiu to inspect the defense of Baoding Airport, and then enter Baoding Airport in the name of Da Neizi Dazuo. After blowing up the airfield, it quickly withdrew to Jizhong and joined up with the main force.
It is about 130 miles from Renqiu to Baoding, although it is driving along the Baoda Highway, Da Neizi Dazuo still keeps cursing the damned Chinese people, the road is not repaired well, and the speed of the car cannot be raised at all.
When the car arrived in Goyang, Ouchizi sent another telegram to the airport, informing him of his location and approximate time of arrival.
Looking at the sky, Da Neizi Dazuo ordered the accompanying staff officers to call the troops of the Yue Army along the line in Gaoyang City, asking them to be vigilant, strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, and pay attention to receiving their own convoys.
Da Neizi's style all fell into Li Lingfeng's ears.
This stone bridge has three villages, namely the North Stone Bridge, the East Stone Bridge, and the West Stone Bridge, which is in the shape of a triangle. Among them, Baoda Road passes through the middle of Dongshiqiao Village. At this time, Li Lingfeng led the 2nd and 3rd Special Operations Squadrons to take control of Dongshiqiao Village.
Sitting in the squad headquarters of the devil garrison in Dongshiqiao Village, looking at the telephone order record of Da Neizi Dazuo, Li Lingfeng was amused in his heart, it seems that this Da Neizi is a guy who is arrogant on the outside and timid in his bones. Come as soon as he comes, he also called over and over again, informing him again and again, obviously wanting the troops along the way to protect his safety, and beware of the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army! This little devil is really a grandmother!
It's funny, Li Lingfeng, who felt that he was about to complete the task, commanded two special operations squadrons, and according to the original defensive fortifications of the devil garrison team, set up sentry posts and barricades at the head of the village, and arranged crossbars, just waiting for the arrival of Da Neizi Dazuo and his party.
Because it was on the Baoda Road defended by his own troops, Da Neizi Dazuo did not bring much guard force, that is, the strength of a small team, three motorcycles opened the road, two armored vehicles guarded the car in front of the other, and three cars were behind, each car was a dozen devils, with machine guns on the roof, and the other devils stood against the carriage.
By the time we arrived at the East Stone Bridge, it was already early, almost five o'clock. Sitting in the car, Da Neizi Dasa looked irritably at the Swiss gold watch on his wrist while listening to the captain of the defending squad reporting the garrison situation to his accompanying staff officer.
Seeing that the squad leader Rory was talking non-stop, Da Neizi Da Zora got out of the car at the open door, and opened his mouth in front of the squad leader to say a baga, and was just about to stretch out his hand to slap him, but he saw that the squad leader first "snapped" a salute, and then looked around in a ghostly manner, and took out two yellow gold bars from his pocket.
Ouchizi Daisa's eyes lit up immediately, he reached out and grabbed the gold bar, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, his eyes were almost lost in a slit with a smile, patted the squad leader's shoulder and said "Yo Xi", and then asked the squad leader how many years he graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and had been a second lieutenant for several years.
Seeing that the chief of staff had become amiable after receiving the gold bar, the leader of the devil squad blushed excitedly and had a thick neck, and hurriedly reported his origin to the chief of staff. Then he took a step forward and whispered that he had obtained a Xuande furnace from an old eunuch's house during the sweep, which was said to be of great value, and that he would be willing to give it to His Excellency the Chief of Staff if he could make him the captain of the squadron soon.
Ouchizi Daisa is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Army University and is a cultured person. Before coming to China, the base camp of the Yue army gave them some education on cultural relics and knew what the Xuande furnace meant. As soon as I heard that the captain of the squad had obtained it from an old eunuch's house, I knew that the eunuch must have stolen it from the palace, and I believed it in my heart.
Patting the squad leader on the shoulder, saying Yo Xi in his mouth, his eyes were full of smiles, Da Neizi Dazuo no longer wanted to go to Baoding Airport, but kept urging the team leader to open the way to the team headquarters.
The leader of the devil squad accompanied Ouchizi Daizo and his accompanying staff officers and a few guards to the squad headquarters, and the rest of the devils jumped out of the car one after another, smoking and drinking water. Even the devils in the armored car came out and asked the devil soldiers standing guard for cigarettes.
