The third part of the bloody and fire war of resistance, the tenth chapter, the third section of the war drums

Then Li Mei elaborated on his battle plan, Li Guidan listened and calculated in his heart, feeling that this guy was very powerful, not the consultants he had met before, he only knew how to talk about it, lest he not be able to show his superiority, but the actual combat experience was pitiful. //、ＱВ⑤、CoМ\\

Li Mei's plan was actually very simple, that is, to bomb the railway line from Beiping to Shanhaiguan, to bomb Qinhuangdao and Tanggu and Tianjin port facilities, to increase the destruction of the Japanese air force airfields that were discovered, and to use the forces of intelligence agencies to reconnoiter the Japanese airfields in the northeast and Korea, and to destroy them once they were discovered; In order to prevent Japanese planes from leaking through the net, six radar stations will be built along the coast of Jiaodong, which will be responsible for monitoring the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and North Korea on the other side.

The radar used to monitor the DPRK is different from the earlier radar, and it is a second-generation ultra-long-range radar, which was successfully developed by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense last year, and there are currently three such radar stations in Henan.

Except for the objections to the bombing of Tanggu and Tianjin, everything else is fine. Li Mei insisted on bombing Tianjin, but Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan both insisted on opposing it, and Li Mei was very puzzled by this.

“hy？” Li Mei spread her hands: "It's the time of the war, and it's normal to have casualties." ”

"The theater command has an order, and the bombing of large cities must be approved by the theater command." Gao Zhihang didn't want to argue with him, so he decided to ask Zhuang Jihua to convince this guy on the issue.

"It's a strange rule." Seeing that Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan did not agree, Li Mei was helpless, and the Sino-US air force was jointly commanded by Chinese and American generals, but it also had to obey the command of the theater command.

"The bombardment of the Bac Ninh line can begin immediately." Gao Zhihang didn't want to embarrass Li Mei too much.

Li Mei smiled: "I see if this is the case, Tianjin, Tanggu, we can set the target at the port first." ”

But Gao Zhihang still shook his head resolutely: "The bombing of large and medium-sized cities must be approved by the theater command. ”

Li Mei had no choice, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's go to the theater headquarters and talk to General Zhuang, and by the way, talk about the airport." ”

"Okay." Gao Zhihang stood up as soon as he agreed, and said to Li Guidan: "Let the brothers have a good rest, and in addition, make a battle plan to attack the Bac Ninh line, which is likely to be under the supervision of Japanese radar, and you must think enough about the difficulties." As he spoke, he took out a document from his purse: "This is a method for deceiving radars studied by experts from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, you should study it carefully." ”

"Yes, sir." Li Guidan replied that radar is no longer a secret, and that after the recovery of Henan, a Japanese radar station was discovered, and the special forces even captured a complete Japanese radar station in Shandong, and after research by experts from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, it was found that their radar was better than China's first-generation radar, but it was not yet as good as the second-generation.

After Li Guidan sent Gao Zhihang and Li Mei away, the pilots on the side rushed up, surrounded him, and asked if there was a new mission, but Li Guidan did not tell them the details, but only told them that they were going to bomb the Bac Ninh line. The pilots suddenly lost interest, and one by one they became inconsiderate, and now the Japanese did not even take to the air when the outskirts of Tianjin were attacked, let alone the Beining line.

Li Guidan ignored them, whistled back to his office, took out the deception radar manual that Gao Zhihang Jiāo gave him to study, and at the same time repeatedly deliberated on Li Mei's plan in his heart.

Gao Zhihang and Li Mei crossed the river by car on the same day and drove directly to the commander of the Dexian Theater Command; when they arrived at the Theater Headquarters, they learned that Zhuang Jihua was not in the headquarters, but went to the troops to inspect them, and only Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi and Deputy Chief of Staff Gong Chu were in the headquarters, and He Wei, deputy director of the Operations Department, also accompanied Zhuang Jihua to the troops.

Li Mei was in a hurry and didn't wait for Zhuang Jihua to come back, so she reported her plan to Xu Zuyi, hoping to get his approval, to his surprise, Xu Zuyi told him on the spot that it couldn't be done.

"I don't understand, General! It's war! Li Mei was anxious and shouted at Xu Zuyi.

"Of course I know," Xu Zuyi was very calm, he looked at Li Mei who was emotional, and said: "Although casualties in the war cannot be avoided, if they can be avoided, we must avoid them as much as possible, not to mention, we are engaged in a war to defend the country and the people, if we ignore civilian casualties just to win the war, this will make us lose the original purpose of the war." General Li May, if the enemy had occupied New York, would you have agreed to such a massive bombardment? ”

Li Mei was speechless for a moment, Xu Zuyi took a step closer, and said warmly: "General Li Mei, such a plan, even if I agree, it will not work, and the commander himself must agree." ”

Li Mei spread her hands and said helplessly: "Okay, when will Commander Zhuang come back?" ”

"Soon, three days later, the theater will hold a military conference attended by generals above the army level, and before that, Commander Zhuang will definitely come back." Xu Zuyi stood up and said goodbye, and asked Li Mei to rest.

After Li Mei left, Xu Zuyi said to Gao Zhihang: "What is the situation in the Air Force? How's the morale? ”

Gao Zhihang snorted softly in his nostrils, and replied angrily: "It's too good." ”

In front of his subordinates, Gao Zhihang behaved very calmly and seriously, but in front of Xu Zuyi, Gao Zhihang was like Li Guidan in front of him.

"The devils don't speak bushido anymore, they don't take to the air at all, and let us ravage them, but their air defense is amazingly weak."

"Huh." Xu Zuyi smiled, China now has a comprehensive advantage in all aspects, except for the navy, China now has no navy, the navy was completely lost in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and there is no warship that can go to sea until now.

"Zhihang, this is a good thing, it shows that the time to defeat the Japanese is very close." Xu Zuyi's tone changed: "According to the plan, the airfield radar station will be completed at the end of March and early April, and the bombing of Japan will begin at that time." This kind of long-distance bombing is the first time for us, oh, no, it's the second time, but this is the first large-scale bombing like this, and you must train well before this time and think about the difficulties to the fullest. ”

"We have already taken it into consideration," Gao Zhihang replied: "According to the agreement, the Americans will provide us with 24 Super Air Fortresses, and the Air Force Command will organize these 24 Super Air Fortresses into a squadron and conduct training in Chengdu, and the Air Force Command has promised that they will be transferred to the North China Theater before launching a bombing campaign on the Japanese mainland." ”

Gao Zhihang was talking, an officer came in from outside and gave Xu Zuyi a document, Xu Zuyi listened while opening the document, looked at it casually, and then frowned.

"In addition to the Super Flying Fortress, there are B17s participating in the bombing of Japan, and the escort fleet is also being formed and will start training in the near future." Gao Zhihang made a brief report to Xu Zuyi.

"Very good, but you'd better prepare a detailed report, Li Mei proposed such a combat plan, and the commander will definitely ask you to make a detailed report when he comes back, and the content will include all aspects of the Air Force, so you have to prepare in as much detail as possible."

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Gao Zhihang replied loudly.

Xu Zuyi nodded at him, then turned around and left the reception room, holding the document in his hand. The headquarters is located in the Lujia Courtyard near the Southwest Canal in Dexian County, which is an imitation of the Suzhou garden-style manor, where the staff office, telecommunications office, secretariat, and intelligence office under the headquarters are located.

Xu Zuyi hurriedly walked into the staff office and put the document in front of the director Gao Songyuan: "This document must be redrafted, I didn't tell you that the troop establishment will be readjusted, but it must not hurt the fundamentals, and the 49th Group Army and the 24th Group Army cannot be moved. ”

Gao Songyuan looked up at Xu Zuyi with the report, Zhuang Jihua will convene a meeting of generals above the army level in the whole theater in Dezhou in three days, and Zhuang Jihua will announce the adjustment plan for the entire theater troops at this meeting. Xu Zuyi knew Zhuang Jihua's purpose, Zhuang Jihua wanted to eliminate miscellaneous cards through this move, or eliminate the distinction between miscellaneous cards and the center, and at the same time adjust the generals who were not effective in the early stage and promote the generals he was optimistic about.

However, Zhuang Jihua gave Xu Zuyi a principle, and only the generals of the troops below the division level should be adjusted, which means that the rectification is ultimately carried out at the army level. However, Xu Zuyi knew that in Zhuang Jihua's heart, there were still some troops that could not be moved, and the 49th Group Army and the 24th Group Army were two of them.

Xu Zuyi's own design plan was vetoed, which surprised Gao Songyuan, in fact, he also understood Zhuang Jihua's intentions, and before formulating the plan, he summoned him to talk to Xu Zuyi, and told them the principles in detail, except for the generals to be promoted, everything else was told to them.

For this reorganization, Zhuang Jihua asked the Ministry of National Defense for three army numbers and one group army number. That is, this time it is necessary to promote at least three army commanders, one army group commander. Gao Songyuan believed that Zhuang Jihua would definitely want to promote people from the 49th Group Army, so he adjusted the 49th Group Army and the 24th Group Army in order to free up candidates for Zhuang Jihua to choose.

"Chief of Staff." Gao Songyuan frowned slightly, his eyes slipped around the staff officers, and Xu Zuyi shook his head slightly: "The commander has the idea of a commander, and he will not transfer people from the 49th Group Army this time, listen to me, that's right." ”

Takamatsu hesitated and did not argue, sat down and began to redraft the report. Xu Zuyi turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of Mén, Gong Chu came in from outside with an angry face, and when he saw Xu Zuyi, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"I can't do this anymore, what is the logistics department doing, so far the ammunition has only reached 30 percent, and the equipment required by the commander has only reached 40 percent, at this rate, at the end of March, the artillery shells will be at most three bases, and the scheduled three armies will not be able to change their equipment. What did the surnamed Xu say, there was no way. Brother Yan Mou, this matter can only be dealt with when the commander comes back. ”

Xu Zuyi's face changed suddenly, Gong Chu was mainly responsible for coordinating logistics, including weapons and ammunition, replenishment of soldiers, hospitals, jiāotong, etc., the affairs were complicated, and when Zhuang Jihua was in the headquarters, he had to chase him almost every day to ask about the progress. But the logistics of 1.5 million people, this unprecedentedly huge number, kept Gong Chu busy all day long.

In order to support the decisive battle in North China, Hong Junqi asked Xu Chonghuai, deputy director of the Logistics Department, to lead a working group to be stationed in the North China Theater to handle logistics affairs together with the Theater Logistics Office. Although it has been a few months since Shandong was recovered, logistics had already begun to provide weapons and ammunition to North China, but the number was too large and the transportation capacity was insufficient, and only one part was replenished in a few months.

Among them, the replenishment of troops on the Western Front is much better, after all, it can be directly transported to the front line through the Pinghan Line, and it is more difficult to replenish the Eastern Front and the Central Front, and the replenishment is very small.

"How so?" Xu Zuyi hurriedly asked.

"Who knows?" Gong Chu seemed to be angry with Xu Chonghuai, and his anger was relatively big, and his tone of voice was a little rushed: "The surname Xu said, the demand for ammunition is too great, and there is food, the food for the victims in various places to spend the winter, there is not so much capacity, by the way, there is also the Air Force, the fuel of the Air Force, and the equipment, also give priority to us!" ”

"That's not going to work." Xu Zuyi shook his head and said: "Before the offensive is launched, there must be ten to twelve base shells in reserve, and this time the commander's plan is very large, and this point of artillery shells is absolutely not enough." ”

"Not only artillery shells, but also bullets, grenades, and fuel, which were not enough at the end of March." Gong Chu took out a document and slapped it on the table: "Look at it, this is their plan." ”

According to the predetermined plan, the offensive will be launched at the end of March and early April, and the center of the entire theater will operate at a high level; the operations office will draw up a plan for operations on the eastern, central, and western fronts; the logistics department will be responsible for the deployment of materials; the intelligence department will closely monitor the changes in the enemy situation in North China; and the political department will mobilize the people to support the front while reorganizing the cooperative troops, and the work will be more complicated.

After Zhuang Jihua arrived in Dexian County, he was greatly dissatisfied with the preliminary work, summoned the directors of all departments and reprimanded them, and demanded that all departments draw up plans and goals that must be achieved before the offensive was launched, and at the same time criticized Sun Lianzhong, deputy commander who presided over the work in Dexian County during this period, and Gong Chu, deputy chief of staff.

Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu, one is a miscellaneous general, the other is a rebel general of the G Party, and in the North China Theater, there are many generals in Huangpu, and the miscellaneous generals are mainly from the southwest, and neither of them dares to take a tough attitude. Zhuang Jihua criticized them because he thought they were too soft and too loose underneath.

Although they were criticized, Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu did not feel aggrieved, especially Sun Lianzhong, although he had been announced as the chairman of Hebei Province, he had not been removed from the post of deputy commander of the theater, and it was obvious that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to let him take up the post of Hebei after the recovery of Hebei. Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu understood from this criticism that Zhuang Jihua did not look at them as outsiders, and Gong Chu dared to treat Xu Chonghuai, who was born in the civil engineering department, today.

"Did Hong Junqi say anything?" Xu Zuyi pondered for a moment and asked, Hong Junqi was born in the Southwest Development Team, and was promoted from the Logistics Department of the Southwest Development Team to the head of the logistics department of the base camp. Moreover, his background in the southwest development team has also become a kind of guarantee, and Chiang Kai-shek wants to use his relationship with the southwest to firmly control the southwest military industry.

"I don't know," Gong Chu seemed to feel a little hot, untied the scenery mouth, and then unbuttoned two buttons: "There are serious things, tents, tents are not enough, such a cold day, there are still some soldiers living in shacks, it is too much." ”

This situation is something Xu Zuyi doesn't understand, his eyes are round, and his heart is very strange, why hasn't anyone reported it, and no one even complains?
