Chapter 1268 The soldiers are fast

Shen Fengdao had just left, and Lin Yaodong walked into the living room with two guests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info An Yi looked up, and hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Lin Fei, Zong Chang, how could you two think of coming to see me?" ”

Lin Fei, chief of staff of the Southwest Air Force, and Du Zongchang, chief of intelligence, neatly gave An Yi a military salute, An Yi waved his hand, signaling the two to sit down left and right, Lin Yaodong knew that An Yi might not be able to go to bed early tonight, so he commanded the guards to make tea for the three of them, and then quietly retreated.

"Say, it's so late, what's the matter?" An Yi asked with a smile.

Lin Fei's expression was extremely grim: "Commander, I don't know if you have read the battle reports in the past few days?" During this period, large-scale air battles broke out in North China every day, and the battle loss ratio between the Central Air Force and the Japanese fighters was as high as 15:1, that is to say, on average, we lost three fighters, and the Japanese army only lost two, which is not right! In our actual combat exercises, the air force, which has radar early warning capabilities and overall linkage, occupies the advantage of time and space, and should not behave so clumsily. ”

An Yi shook his head and asked Du Zongchang with a smile: "You are the intelligence director of the Southwest Air Force, what do you think of this problem?" ”

Du Zongchang said seriously: "After the air combat data came out, I immediately asked our intelligence department to coordinate and bring in the information on the air force's war-damaged aircraft, and found that most of them were old biplanes, and there was not a single fighter produced by our Syrian Aircraft Factory. Therefore, I guess that the fighter planes are too old to meet the requirements of the ceiling, and the enemy planes discovered the ambush of our air force from a distance. ”

An Yi nodded: "You guessed right, in fact, every time the Central Air Force's battle report comes out, I will check it as soon as possible, in addition to the reason you said, there is also the fact that the Central Air Force's tactical guiding ideology is extremely backward, generally after learning about the enemy's situation, he hastily takes off to meet the enemy, and never thought of using clouds, the sun's irradiation, the different heights of the sky, etc. to achieve the purpose of hiding his own ambush opponent, and there are too few professionals in the Central Air Force's joint operations command, Although we have supported dozens of professional stenographers, data analysts, and communication personnel, and have also donated a set of timely communication equipment, we are still unable to reasonably enable the air force units to take off to meet the enemy at the first time. In short, there are many problems in the Central Air Force, and I have fed these back to them one by one, hoping that they can correct them in time, otherwise it will be a pity that the pilots will continue to wear and tear in such a senseless way! ”

Lin Fei's expression was relieved: "Good guy, so that's the case, I thought our radar was out of order, so I'm much more relieved!" ”

An Yi couldn't help but ask: "You guys came just in time today, I just wanted to find out: how about the AB26 dive bomber that has been secretly equipping the army for a year?" Is it possible to achieve a hit rate of more than 50 percent at close range? ”

Lin Fei said proudly: "Fifty percent is too much to underestimate people, and after arduous training, our pilots can achieve a hit rate of more than 95 percent in dive bombing; if the strategy formulated by the commander to close the door and fight the dog can be successful, our dive bombers will certainly be a blockbuster and achieve results that will shock the world, and for a long time, the Japanese fleet will not be able to pose a threat to the troops along our coast!" ”

An Yi shook his head: "The planner will succeed, we will do all the preparations, whether we can succeed or not depends on the will of God!" Now that the situation in North China is becoming increasingly tense, and the flames of war will ignite at any time, I am worried that Zhou Zhirou's air force can withstand such a huge attrition."

Lin Fei and Du Zongchang glanced at each other and lowered their heads a little gloomily. At present, the aircraft factory in Syria is producing fighters at a rate of two to three per day, and I also heard that the eldest lady Ou Chuer got a kind of all-wooden fighter production drawings from the British, and the Syrian Machinery General Factory is developing a supporting production line, which is expected to form a production capacity within half a year, but even so, southern Sichuan is still far behind Japan, according to the information transmitted back by the Japanese side, once the entire country of Japan is transferred to the wartime economy, the daily output of its aircraft will reach an astonishing 7,671 (real data), If the Chinese Air Force is unable to form an overwhelming superiority over Japan in a short period of time and forces the Japanese Air Force to adopt the tactics of refueling to confront us, then what awaits the Chinese army will be the complete loss of the right to brake.

An Yi's worries were not superfluous, the next morning, before he got up, came the Japanese army launched an offensive on the whole front, and the 3rd Brigade of the riverside suddenly attacked the headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, and the deputy commander of the 29th Army, Tong Linge, and the commander of the 132nd Division, Zhao Dengyu, sacrificed their lives for the country.

When the news came out, the whole country was shaken, and in the face of the bloody fact that Wang Jingwei and other leaders of the main peace faction were drenched, all of them lost their voices, and Feng Yuxiang, the veteran commander of the Northwest Army, burst into tears, and many generals who had previously been hesitant about the war completely gave up their illusions of peace, and issued public declarations and speeches one after another, encouraging the three armed forces to take immediate action to defend their homes and the country, and to issue a strong appeal for the all-people war of resistance.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, in the small conference room next to the chairman's office, Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi, An Yi, Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, He Yingqin, and other generals held secret discussions behind closed doors, and everyone gathered around the large table with a map of North China to examine and examine the battle plan just made by Deputy General Staff An Yi.

Although An Yi, who knew that the Japanese army was playing tricks but had no way to prevent it, and was extremely remorseful in his heart, did not participate in the heated discussion, no one asked about the details of the implementation of the plan, he did not take the initiative to speak, and his handsome face was a little scary, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng became the protagonists of the inference and review of the battle plan.

"According to the current morale of the 29th Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Beiping and the surrounding areas, although they finally repelled the attack of the riverside brigade and recaptured Nanyuan, but after transferring two brigade reserves from Beiping City to support Nanyuan, the defensive strength in the north of Beiping was weakened, and in the face of the onslaught of the three mixed brigades of the Japanese army, the pressure doubled. Therefore, General An's plan to quickly transfer Wei Lihuang's troops to the front line of Nankou to block the southward movement of the 30,000 main forces of the Japanese army is completely feasible and necessary, and it is much more active than our original plan to reinforce the northern line of Beiping City, and the threat to the Japanese army is also greater.

"As long as it withstands the main force of the Japanese army moving south for 24 hours, Tang Enbo's 13th Army can quickly move to the northwest line of Nankou and launch a rapid attack from the flank of the main force of the Japanese army, and the pressure on the north side of Beiping will also be eliminated, and then the independent division of the 17th Army and the 37th Division of Feng Zhi'an will be able to go north separately and attack the 132nd Division of Nanyuan and the brigades directly under the 29th Army in the north and south, encircle and annihilate the riverside brigades, and completely relieve the crisis in Beiping." After repeated weighing, Chen Cheng expressed his opinion.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Jingzhi, how does Song Mingxuan express his position now?" ”

"Alas! From last night to the early hours of the morning, there was no reply to the two urgent telegrams sent by his subordinates, and it was not until 9:40 a.m. that General Mingxuan called back to express his resignation, which caught us off guard; at this critical juncture, he did not ascend to the heights and shout and lead the whole army to rise up and resist, but shirked his responsibility by resigning, which must have had a very great negative impact on the 29th Army. I am afraid that this is also the direct reason why the generals of the 29th Army have not reacted with a unified opinion. After He Yingqin dispelled the ethereal hope of peace talks, his vision became sharp and bright.

"This can't be done, a plate of scattered sand, how can you have the same hatred? Although Cheng Songgong urgently flew to North China this morning, I think it will be difficult to obtain the unanimous approval of the generals of the 29th Army, and it is impossible to talk about quickly recovering the command. Bai Chongxi muttered coldly to express his dissatisfaction and disappointment with the generals of the 29th Army.

Chiang Kai-shek had long reported most of his hopes for Cheng Qian's urgent flight to North China, and in the face of the divisions of the 29th Army, the old commander Feng Yuxiang made it clear that he could not subdue them, and Cheng Qian, a general in the south, lacked prestige and appeal. The reason why Cheng Qian, who has already assumed the post of commander of the First Theater, flew to North China in a high-profile manner is that the big role is to measure it politically and to express a resolute and uncompromising posture to the people of the whole country and to China and foreign countries.

The venue fell silent again, and Chiang Kai-shek saw that An Yi was still staring at the map and had no intention of speaking, so he pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "An Yi, how is the contact between Hu Jialin and Feng Zhi'an going?" ”

An Yi raised his head: "In the past few days, General Feng Zhi'an has not made a clear statement, but he has acquiesced in the slow advance of the independent division, and it is estimated that the Chengren of the two generals, Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu, has touched him a lot, and the students think that the 37th Division is no longer a problem, but the Shiyou 3rd Division stationed on the front line of Lugou Bridge is a huge hidden danger." ”

When everyone heard An Yi say the focus of the problem, they all raised their heads and looked at Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were slightly closed, and his cheeks were pulled a few times due to heavy gritting of teeth, and it seemed that it was difficult to make up his mind for a while.

Seeing this, An Yi resolutely said: "Principal, the students think that at this moment of life and death, they must make a decision immediately!" The students suggested that in order to put an end to the panic caused by the resignation of the officers and men of the 29th Army due to Song Zheyuan's resignation, Song Zheyuan's resignation should be immediately agreed to, and General Zhang Zizhong, who has high prestige, should be announced to take over the post of commander of the 29th Army. In addition, in order to encourage morale and encourage General Feng Zhi'an to cooperate and fight side by side, General Feng Zhi'an can be promoted to commander of the 77th Army, and the generals and colonels of each brigade can be promoted by one rank. Otherwise, if we delay for another two days, when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the entire battle situation will take a sharp turn for the worse, and it will be difficult for all units of the 29th Army to be unified, and we will miss a good opportunity to seize the initiative in North China. ”

"I agree with General An's opinion, I can't hesitate." Bai Chongxi immediately agreed.

Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong also expressed their unanimous opinions, He Yingqin only hesitated for a short time and immediately agreed, although An Yi was a little arrogant, but the promotion of the general position of the 29th Army and the award of the 77th Army number of the complete Feng Zhi'an Ministry is currently an effective means.

Chiang Kai-shek finally made a decision: "Okay, since this is the case, if necessary, you can deal with it on the spot, and after eliminating the riverside brigade, immediately encircle the third division of Shiyou and disarm the department to eliminate hidden dangers!" ”

At the end of the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek issued three combat orders in succession, respectively to Feng Zhi'an, Zhang Zizhong, and Wei Lihuang, and then approached An Yi with great expectations:

"You still have to fly to Baoding, for the sake of safety, you first take a plane to Zhengzhou, and then take a train or car to the north, although there are Hu Jialin, General Zhang Chengzhu and others in command, but their temporary change is not as good as you, rather than asking for instructions to delay the fighter, it is better for you to personally sit in charge of the decision."

"Students obey!" An Yi stood up side by side: "Principal, General Tang Enbo's Thirteenth Army can move." ”

"Good! You can rest assured that if you go north, Jiansheng and I will control the overall situation for you. Chiang Kai-shek readily agreed.

At night, forty-five kilometers northwest of Changping, Yudu Mountain.

"Report to the military seat, the chief of staff of security urgently telegraphed." Shi Jue, chief of operations of the Thirteenth Army, reported loudly.

After receiving the telegram, Tang Enbo hurriedly read it, and then raised his head excitedly, his eyes sparkled, and he glanced at the full hall of generals: "Pass my order, the Fourth Division and the Eighty-ninth Division immediately pull out the camp, march quickly according to the original route, and must arrive at the south exit before four o'clock in the morning, and strive to defeat the Japanese army within three hours and occupy the railway station." This soldier is expensive and fast, and he must be vigorous! ”

"Yes—"
