Historically, during the Korean War, the Chinese Volunteers and the Soviet Army used old-fashioned biplanes to attack the US military at night many times, which made the US military quite nerve-wracking. Although the casualties www.biquge.info pen, fun and pavilion were not large, they had a heavy impact on morale.

The US military has sent jet fighters to intercept it many times, but because the night is too dark and the flight altitude of the small plane is too low (the lowest is only a dozen meters), it is almost impossible to intercept it.

The characteristics of simple structure, easy maneuvering and convenient maintenance of the super ******** are also suitable for the current anti-Japanese battlefield. After spending a year or two training pilots, Yang Tianfeng really couldn't afford to wait.

"It's a pity that I can't build these two planes and more super-******** with your hands with your hands." Yang Tianfeng shook his head regretfully, "For the sake of the country, for the nation, and for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you have to work hard." ”

"Chief Yang is leading the army to go on an expedition again?" Yu Shao'an paused and said, "Rest assured, Chief Yang, we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but we must also do our best to make due contributions to the War of Resistance." Since Chief Yang has already taken out the drawings and materials, and this is a foreign secret technology, we will follow the map. ”

"Well, I believe in your abilities and passion." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment, turned to the pilot Han Zhen, and said, "Your task is to train pilots, not only small planes, but also this training plane. I don't think it will take half a year to complete the work of assembling the aircraft, and that's when you really show your skills. According to my calculations and estimates, the assembled aircraft still has some advantages in performance and can fight with the Japanese aircraft. ”

A hint of eagerness flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, but then he returned to normal, stood up and saluted, but only replied with a simple "yes".

In mid-July, four coking ovens were built at the coal plant, with a production capacity of 10 tons of coal per day, 1,500 gallons of coal paste, 600 gallons of gasoline, 800 gallons of kerosene, 1,200 gallons of asphalt, and other products.

The most important thing is that the coal chemical plant produced the activated carbon that Yang Tianfeng named and urgently needed, coupled with the inventory prepared from walnut shells before, Yang Tianfeng immediately mobilized the people in the base area to make gas masks filled with activated carbon as an urgent task in the front.

A large number of anti-gas masks were produced in thousands of households, and priority was given to equipping the troops on the Western Front, and by the beginning of August, the Guo detachment (directly under the guard regiment) and the Chiang detachment had all been distributed.

In the whole army, the expansion was basically completed, and the number of soldiers in each detachment reached 37,800. In addition, a large-scale military training and large-scale military contest was carried out for nearly two months, and a number of outstanding officers and men emerged, which also enhanced the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

In mid-August, Yang Tianfeng led the army to Luyi with another batch of gas masks, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment and military supplies.

Why he wants to be a commander is not that Yang Tianfeng feels that his command level is very high, but the historical information in his mind is his biggest reliance. Only by being in command in person can he make full use of this cheat, so that the troops can make the fastest response and minimize losses.

In the first battle of Luyi, the Japanese army in Zhecheng suffered heavy losses, so it had to temporarily shrink, and then mobilize troops from other places to stabilize the defense. The Three Verticals took this opportunity to recover large areas of the countryside and, in accordance with Yang Tianfeng's guiding advice, tried to penetrate and develop westward, approaching Huaiyang from the east.

The Jiang detachment, the Guo detachment, the Zhou regiment, plus the four detachments that were already full and were training, had gathered more than 12,000 people around Luyi.

At this time, the reorganized Provisional 1st Cavalry Division had already been transferred to the Yellow Flood Area from Zhoukou to Jieshou, and the main force was stationed in Xiangcheng, with the task of defending the Japanese army in Huaiyang. The cavalry division often attacked the Japanese army in Huaiyang with light cavalry, causing it to retreat into the city and dare not act rashly. Subsequently, the 2nd Brigade Ma Bingzhong directly crossed the river and stationed in the area of Pagoda Kongzhuang, directly threatening Huaiyang in the south.

After Yang Tianfeng arrived in Luyi, he immediately arranged troops, with the Zhou regiment and four detachments intercepting the enemy in Zhecheng, the Jiang detachment and the first artillery besieged Danchengji (now Dancheng County), and the Guo detachment was the general reserve, which annihilated six or seven hundred servants of the puppet army in one fell swoop, killed more than ten Japanese advisers, seized a large number of military supplies, and opened the passage to Huaiyang in the west.

At this point, the situation of the first cavalry division fighting Huaiyang alone in history has now been strengthened, and the battle around Huaiyang has also begun.

……………

Lutai Town, more than 40 miles south of Dancheng, is more than 60 miles away from Huaiyang County in the northwest. For a hundred years, Lutai was once a famous market town and commercial center within a radius of dozens of miles, but under the influence of the war, the scene of prosperous business and merchants is no longer there.

A large mansion in the town was heavily guarded, and the soldiers were loaded with guns and serious faces.

In the hall of the house, the atmosphere was harmonious and easy-going, and the officers were noisy, introducing each other, and talking and laughing.

In the side hall, Liu Chen, chief of staff of the Third Group Army, was in the center, and Ma Biao and Yang Tianfeng, commanders of the 1st Cavalry Division, were accompanying each other on the left and right, discussing military operations.

The attack on Huaiyang was put forward by the 1st Cavalry Division, and under the contact of Yang Tianfeng, a major battle was finally brewed, which was beyond the scope of Huaiyang, and should be said to be the Eastern Henan Campaign.

"The 1st Cavalry Division is good at maneuvering, attacking, and impacting the infantry in the wilderness, and Huaiyang will hand over the attack to the 3rd Column." Yang Tianfeng took the most difficult task over.

Liu Chen looked at Yang Tianfeng and said with a smile: "What kind of trick does General Yang have to outwit Huaiyang?" ”

"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, how can a devil be so stupid?" Yang Tianfeng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But it's not a hard knock, there must always be some other means." ”

Ma Biao has a straightforward personality, a typical character of a Northwest man. Although it was the first time to meet Yang Tianfeng, I had also heard of some of Yang Tianfeng's achievements. In particular, Yang Tianfeng has generously supported more than 50 Czech-made guns, more than 30 60 mortars, more than 50 shotguns, more than a dozen steel fists, and more than 30 grenade launchers of the 1st Division. Such a large number of weapons greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the 1st Cavalry Division, even more than the weapons allocated by the national government.

On the one hand, Yang Tianfeng took the initiative to take on the heavy burden, which made Ma Biao very admired. You must know that Huaiyang is one of the main strongholds of the Japanese army, connecting the two major places of Shangqiu and Kaifeng, once attacked, the Japanese army will not hesitate to mobilize all kinds of troops to protect the city.

Everyone knows that attacking Huaiyang will be a bloody battle, a fierce battle, especially for the troops who lack heavy weapons.

"General Yang's troops are well-equipped, and they have actual combat experience in attacking Sucheng and Kaifeng, so Ma does not dare to compete with General Yang." Ma Biao hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that the Japanese army's firepower is very strong, and it is not easy to take the city and defend it." ”

"What Master Ma said is extremely true." Yang Tianfeng nodded in agreement and said: "In the case that there are heavy enemies around Huaiyang to support, it is indeed inappropriate to attack urgently, and heavy casualties are difficult to avoid. Therefore, the brothers made a plan and asked the two to consult and consult. With that, he spread a few papers onto the table.

Liu Chen seemed to be accustomed to Yang Tianfeng's approach, smiled faintly, humbly conceded, and picked it up and looked at it. After reading it, he probably didn't say anything, and handed it to Ma Biao again.

It is indeed difficult to attack, even if Yang Tianfeng does have some tricks and methods, he still wants to avoid it as much as possible. Therefore, his battle plan was to make a fuss about Huaiyang, since Huaiyang was important, when it was besieged, the Japanese troops on the periphery would definitely be reinforced, and the conditions for encirclement and reinforcement were ripe.

Ma Biao looked at the plan and thought it was very good. At least Yang Tianfeng put his troops under Huaiyang City, and even took over the defense of the pagoda and Kongzhuang positions, whether it was a feint or a siege and defense, it was the most difficult task. The 1st Cavalry Division had to be divided into two divisions, one to ambush the Japanese army in Shangqiu, and the other to wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the Third Army to attack the reinforcements in Kaifeng.

"Shangqiu is stationed in the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the reinforcements that can be sent are no more than 1,000 people, or there are two or three thousand puppet troops." Yang Tianfeng pointed on the map and said: "As long as the 1st Cavalry Division sends a brigade, plus more than 3,000 infantry from our department, it is certain to win." ”

"It's more troublesome to open." Seeing the two nodding, Yang Tianfeng continued: "There are tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, and hundreds of vehicles, and the number of troops that can be sent should be around 2,000 people, which requires the Third Army to send troops to help." ”

"The victory of the Kaifeng attack had a great impact on the deployment of the Japanese army." Liu Chen nodded in agreement, "At least about a thousand people must be left to defend the city, and there are only fifteen or six hundred who can help." In the field, a dispatch of one division, plus two brigades of the first cavalry division, should be enough to resist. ”

"Chief of Staff Liu judged accurately." Yang Tianfeng complimented and said, "Brother thinks so. You don't need to block strongly, but retreat while blocking, let the enemy go around Huaiyang, and then encircle and destroy ......"

What Yang Tianfeng is talking about is the tactic of retreating and fighting a decisive battle, and he has a great appetite, not only to defeat, but also to strive for total annihilation.

"This kind of play-" Liu Chen cautiously did not say anything.

"General Yang's idea is very peculiar." Ma Biao is also not easy to evaluate.

Yang Tianfeng smiled slightly and said: "Both of them have fought against the Japanese army, and the Battle of Nanchang has not long ended, so they should know the combat characteristics of the Japanese army very well. The Japanese army was very resolute in carrying out combat missions, and many times it appeared rigid and stiff. It is not only to reinforce Huaiyang, but also to hurry up, how can it be delayed on the road? Its persistence in terrain targets also made the Japanese army not continue to pursue and encircle after breaking through the blockade, so as to expand the results of the battle. Of course, if the two of them are worried, they can also do some preventive measures to make the Japanese army unfavorable. ”

"General Yang has always judged the actions of the Japanese army accurately, and I think Commander-in-Chief Sun will approve it." Liu Chen pushed the decision to Sun Tongxuan, as the supreme commander of the Third Army, which is also normal. (To be continued.) )
