Chapter 79, Abandonment of Lu'an
The fuel depot of the Japanese army exploded, and a small mushroom cloud was raised, and the explosion caused the fuel to splash everywhere, which was even more powerful than the incendiary bombs, and for the Japanese army, it was even worse.
Submunitions, or cluster bombs, are dropped by a diving plane, falling in free fall in the air, and when they are in mid-air, they suddenly explode, and many small ground-penetrating bombs fly out of the bomb body, which are specially used to deal with the airport runway.
Small bombs, under gravity, break through the ground, drill low, and then the time-delay device will detonate the bomb, which brings greater destructive effect than the ground explosion.
All the bullets were dropped, and the whole plane felt a lot lighter, and the speed was easier, and the 25 planes went around in a circle and began to return to the airport.
Wuhu Airport, as a major airfield of the Japanese army on the land of China, stationed about 3,400 planes, almost one-tenth of the current planes of the Japanese army's army airline.
Losing the Wuhu airport, the Japanese army in China/Dadihua/Central will completely lose the air force support, for the anti-Japanese forces in this area, it can be said that it is not good news, in the past they were most afraid of the Japanese tanks and planes, especially the planes, they could not fight at all, now the planes are gone, the tanks are a big deal to fight for a few lives, and now the Japanese army will lose two major boosts.
In less than a day, the county seat of Lu'an was captured by a certain armed force, or it was recovered, and the Japanese airfield in Wuhu was also bombed, and these two exciting news spread all over the country.
"What do you say? Lu'an was beaten down by unknown forces? This is a bald head in Chongqing, who was shocked when he heard the news, and began to think about how to recruit An.
"According to the intelligence, it should be the armed force in the Dabie Mountains." In front of the bald head, there was a thin-looking man holding a document in his hand, and this person was Dai Li.
"It's them again!" The bald man frowned, clenched his right hand into a fist, and gently hammered the table. He still remembers this armed force vividly, the original Nanjing Massacre pictures were sent by them by plane, and he also took these photos to find foreigners, trying to let them mediate, but those Europeans just scolded a few words inconsequentially, and then it was gone, and there was the previous battle of Dawang Village, which killed half of the Japanese army at once, and now there is information that they have taken Lu'an, which has to make him think deeply.
"Report!" Suddenly, there was a report from outside the door.
"Come in!" Jiang Guangtou said lightly.
A soldier was allowed to walk in, saluted the bald head and the head of the Dai big spies, then opened the folder in his hand, took out a document and put it on the table in front of the bald head, and said, "I just got the news that the Japanese army was bombed at the airport in Wuhu, and a division of the front line was transferred, and the target may be Lu'an. With that, he stepped aside.
"What?" Hearing this, the bald head and the Dai spy were shocked, originally they were surprised enough to defeat Lu'an, but now they came like this, and almost scared them to pee.
"Let's go, call a meeting at once." For example, Dai Li glanced at each other, and then said.
Taizu, who was far away in Yan'an, Shaanxi, was burning kang with a group of founding fathers, and he also held a telegram in his hand, the content of the telegram was nothing more than that Lu Qiang's army had conquered Lu'an, which caused the Japanese army in East China and Central China to change its strategy and encircle and suppress Lu Qiang, and at the same time, they had an air battle with the Japanese air force above Chaohu Lake, defeating the Japanese army 0:100, and then bombing the Japanese airfield in Wuhu.
The telegram was repeated in the hands of several people, and then the green smoke continued to rise in the cave, and each person had a cigarette in his hand, and he smoked it. "What do you think of this little friend?" After being silent for a while, it was still too ancestor to speak.
"We can be friendly, and from the fact that he lent us so many weapons and ammunition, it can be seen that this little friend is still very friendly to us." Zhou Shuai took a cigarette, took a puff of cigarette, and said after pondering for a while.
"I've seen their rifles, and they're firing in bursts, and they're really good, so you can touch them and see if you can get more." As a military general who led the troops to fight, Mr. Peng was very concerned about weapons and equipment, and he had a 56 and a half sent from the Fourth Army, and he had fought more than a dozen bullets, and the results were that this gun had high accuracy, strong reliability, and long range (although there was no maximum range of 2000 meters in the theory of the 38 big cover, but it was also farther than the maximum range of 1000 meters in the official form, and the maximum range was 1500 meters), the rate of fire was fast (the bullet was expensive), the lethality was strong, and the advantages of durability were stronger than the formal, Hanyang, and 38 big covers, so pinch, He was very greedy, and when he learned that the Fourth Army was almost completely redressed in 56 and a half, he was eager to fly over as well.
Several leaders nested in the cave to discuss the matter of landing Qiang, and under the heavy snow outside, they discussed the final result, which was to send someone over to contact him, and the final candidate was determined to be Zhou Shuaiguo, China's diplomat.
The capture of Lu'an is more significant than the bombing of the airport, this is the first time since the Anti-Japanese War that the city has been recovered, and it is also the first city to be recovered, for the country/people, the significance is not small, but, for the crooked nuts, what they are concerned about is that the air battle what kind of plane played a 0:100 record, and the burning ** used to bomb the airport**, they don't know the combustion**, so they can only give an image name, arson bomb, as for the sub-mother bomb, it is covered by the halo of **, No one noticed anything wrong.
Special planes, arson bombs, and two telegrams were immediately placed on the tables of the ambassadors to China, and then they were hurriedly sent back to their respective countries, and at the same time, the Chongqing government was contacted, asking them to try to get their hands on them.
It took an afternoon to organize the people and clean up Lu'an, and the rubble and ruins of the traitors and the two dogs were all the targets of the cleaning. Then send the ocean of food, followed by recruitment, after all, they attacked Lu'an, such a big movement, the Japanese army could not let him go, there were planes to bomb in the morning, provoked Lu Qiang in a fit of anger, the Wuhu airport was bombed, and now more soldiers are recruited, so Lu'an City up to forty-one two, down to eighteen or nineteen years old, are all recruitment objects, but can not be forced, the strong melon is not sweet, can not be forced, then it has to be tempted, all kinds of three meals a day are full of meat, 10 oceans per month, disability allowance arrangement work, Pension for the dead and bereavement family support, etc., a large box of big ocean opened the lid of the box, placed there, the eyes of the people who watched were red, white flowers, in the sun, very dazzling, and then the whole Lu'an almost rioted, and they all wanted to join the army, and even the old man of sixty or seventy years old poked his crutches to join the army.
Capture Lu'an, does not mean easy, because there will be a bigger battle next, so that night, after the recruitment is completed, immediately return to Dawang Village overnight, before leaving, the entire Lu'an will be empty, not an inch of grass left, in an instant, the entire Lu'an City has almost become a "dead city", of course, there are many people who do not want to move, such as some landlords and rich people, can not give up their own property, for Lu Qiang they disdain, there are some old people who love home, they are unwilling to go, let their children leave, for them, Lu Qiang can't help it, just let him go.
There were more than 1,000 people when they came, but when they went back, it was very spectacular, about 30,000 or 40,000 people together, there were 30,000 or 40,000 people, and when the devils came, they ran a lot, and during the tyranny of the Japanese army, they also escaped, and it was very good to have so many people left.
Next, as long as you prevent the devil from counterattacking, Lu'an will lose it if you lose it, because Lu Qiang takes a steady and steady route, but Lu'an is outside this circle, like an outstretched hand, of course he has to retract it now, otherwise he will be cut down.
Back in Dawang Village, Lu Qiang began to arrange newly recruited soldiers, and 1,200 people were arranged to tanks, so Lu Qiang expanded the tank regiment into a tank division, with a total of 600 tanks. The cannon artillery regiment also has to be rebuilt, still 50 guns unchanged, plus howitzer regiment from 50, expanded to 150, formed an artillery brigade, a total of 3 artillery regiments plus a logistics regiment, and then recruit three or four thousand infantry, in an instant, the entire Dawang Village almost became a military base. After the personnel are distributed, the training begins, and it is still the veterans who lead the recruits.
In this attack on Lu'an, hundreds of people were lost, 48 were killed, 67 were seriously injured and could not be recovered, and minor injuries were not counted. A thousand veterans, all of a sudden, dropped one-tenth, for this casualty rate, Lu Qiang is not satisfied, in his opinion, if it can be pressed to a single digit is the best, if Lu Qiang's outsiders know, it is estimated that he will be pulled out and divided into five horses. If we fight a large group of Japanese troops, not to mention the siege of the city, even in the field, the number of people killed in the battle is at least more than the number of Japanese soldiers killed, and you are not satisfied with the loss of only such a few people, believe it or not, I will fight with you with the explosives bag now.
With one hand training people and the other hand recruiting people to build buildings, tens of thousands of new people have arrived, and it takes a lot of time to build, but before that, they can only build prefabricated houses for people to live in.
The training has a charter, just hand it over to the company commander of each company, and there is no need to land to take care of it, as long as you don't be lazy, and then at the end of each month, there is a company to compare, compare various aspects of military skills, and the military salary of the winning company is doubled that month, and the bottom three companies, the military salary is deducted three-quarters, two-quarters and one-quarter in the order of the first, second and third from the bottom. Therefore, in order to double the ocean, their company commander will train them fiercely, and then just monitor them not to make mistakes, and find something for them to do when they are free, so as not to have nowhere to spend their energy.
The gravel road leading to the base is about to be repaired, and there will be idle manpower to repair the airport, because the airport is too small, so Lu Qiang decided to choose a large open space in the village to build a large airport, and the runway length must be at least 2000 meters, so Lu Qiang sent another order to continue to tempt people.
