Chapter 23, Aid (I)
"Bang!" The last living Japanese soldier was killed, and Yuexi's counteroffensive ended here, and all the more than 1,000 Japanese troops who retreated to the city were killed, and the Japanese troops who did not enter the city were all withdrawn, and some fat Yamaki Tsao was carried away by his subordinates.
After fighting the three counties, Lu Qiang did not fight down, but withdrew the troops and emptied the three counties, leaving not a single grass, of course, there are some people who are unwilling to go, so he can only go, after all, we can't force them.
The lack of personnel is still a big criticism, this time the attention and strength of the Japanese army are in Nanchang, so Lu Qiang and they took advantage and looted people and things in the three counties.
The three counties were suddenly attacked, which frightened the Japanese army, and thought that the one in Dabie Mountain began to be restless again, which led to the stagnation of the Japanese army's attack on Nanchang, and the Japanese army was stopped in the attack on Tujiabu and Fengxin, and the follow-up troops no longer advanced, ready to cross the river north and enter Dabie Mountain at any time.
The Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking, which made the major defenders a little unclear So, Xue Yue and other major army bosses gathered for a meeting to make speculations about the sudden cessation of the Japanese attack, and at the same time released spies to inquire in many ways.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qiang's people had already come back with a large number of people who had 'abducted', looking at the population of tens of thousands, Lu Qiang was dumbfounded, and there were such a large number of people, where to live, yes, continue to build mobile homes. So, a large number of blue tin houses were raised.
Next, the recruitment began, and this time the quality of the people brought back was good, and there were more young and strong, so they immediately began to recruit, and it was necessary to check the body. Because there are more young and strong, nearly 20,000 people were directly recruited this time, which made Lu Qiang a little unbearable, there were too many people, it was difficult to control, there were more things, the logistics were more troublesome, and the number of times he ran to the base was more, carrying weapons and ammunition back and forth.
Lu Qiang's sudden attack on the three counties and the fact that the three counties were moved soon appeared on the table of the Ninth War Zone in a written form.
"It seems that the Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking, and it was related to the newly established 250 division, which raided three county towns at once, and after the Japanese army reacted, it defeated the two temporary wings of the Japanese army, which is extraordinary." Xue Yue put down the information in his hand and sighed, if he had such a combat strength team under his command, then he would not have been beaten so badly and left behind.
"Always sit, you don't have to sigh, what 250 divisions can have like this, isn't it their weapons." A military commander said unhappily.
"The weapon is good, hum, the weapon is good, someone has to operate it well." Xue Yue snorted coldly. Although they are all their own subordinates, they are a little arrogant, and they should be suppressed when they should be suppressed.
"Boss, if it's a weapon like ours, we can do it well." A military commander was not convinced.
Xue Yue's words made them dumbfounded: "Can you defeat the four divisions of the Japanese army with more than 20,000 people?" ”
"This ......" A group of people looked at each other, no one dared to say that they could defeat four Japanese divisions, not to mention that there were three A divisions, and a group of people had nothing to say, after all, the battle record was there.
"Okay, let's disband, take advantage of the Japanese army to stop, let's go back and think about it, how to fight next." After saying that, he left.
"General seat, 250 divisions, don't they have a lot of weapons and equipment? We can 'borrow' something! As he walked along the road, a staff officer-like man beside him spoke, on top of the word "borrow", and deliberately accentuated his tone.
"Oh!?" Xue Yue, who was walking on the road, paused, and when he heard this, he was originally a little embarrassed because of the war, and immediately cheered up, and then asked, "Will they borrow it?" ”
"Boss, will they not borrow it?" This staff officer, who resembled an ancient kobold military division, asked rhetorically.
After listening to the staff officer's rhetorical question, Xue Yue thought for two seconds, laughed and said, "I still respect you for your cleverness, and immediately draft it to the commission." ”
A telegram flew to Chongqing as an airwave, and after receiving the telegram in Chongqing, without saying a word, he immediately asked people to send a telegram to Lu Qiang in Dabie Mountain, playing an official tone, which roughly meant that Lu Qiang should take care of the general situation, and said a lot of words, saying that it was best to "borrow" weapons and equipment.
"Do you want to borrow or not to borrow?" Lu Qiang took the telegram and asked everyone present.
"Borrow!" "Don't borrow!" Two different voices rang out.
said that it was the monkey and Bai Yiren who borrowed it, and Bai Yiren needless to say that he came out of Whampoa, and the bald head was his principal, and the monkey thought more deeply. The only one who said he wouldn't borrow it was the lynx, he was stingy, so let's ignore him. As for the others, they laugh and don't speak, they don't understand, so they don't speak.
"Since you borrowed it, let's discuss it carefully, send a list over, and notify them to pick it up." Lu Qiang ignored the bobcat and said to the two who agreed.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a telegram was sent to the Ninth War Zone, which was encrypted, and the telegram was quickly deciphered by the telegrapher.
"At the request of the Ninth Theater of Operations, our 250th Division is willing to send 10,000 Type 38 rifles, 300 crooked handles, 100 grenadiers, 500 60mm mortars, 200 105mm howitzers, 100 130mm cannons, 100 152mm howitzers, 10 bases for ammunition per gun, and 20 bases for firearms."
The staff officer widened his eyes, read the first telegram, and when he saw what he said above, he was almost scared to death, so many artillery, he originally thought that they were just "borrowing" some guns and some machine guns, but he didn't think that there would be so many, and Xue Yue, who was sitting on the chair, was also taken aback, more than 100mm artillery, he would definitely not have more than 50 guns in the entire Ninth War Zone, and they were all about 105, and he was also stunned by this man's generosity, he couldn't figure it out, the other party would be so generous.
The chief of staff continued: "The Ninth Theater of Operations must provide soldiers to the 250 Division, and the soldiers must be recruits, 1 60 mortar for 5 people, 1 105 howitzer for 10 people, 1 130 cannon for 20 people, 1 152 howitzer for 20 people, guns and ammunition for gifts. ”
This began to put forward conditions, but they just wanted people, there are many of them, and the most important thing is people, and so many add up to only 8,500 people, this condition can be met. The next thing is how to transport things over, how to get people over. Now there are Japanese-occupied areas everywhere, and there is a river between the two sides.
"The transport is provided by us, and you must provide a runway that is more than 2,000 meters long and 100 meters wide, with a level ground and preferably a concrete runway. Note: Please be sure to use all weapons against Japan. That's all. The staff officer read everything on the paper.
"It seems that the other party is really anti-Japanese!" After listening to the last sentence, Xue Yue sighed, and said, "Call back immediately, saying that we can meet their requirements." He is still a little curious about their mode of transportation, since he wants an airport, it is estimated that he should use an aircraft like a transport plane.
In Nanchang, there is an airfield, which is specially used to bomb the Yangtze River route of the Japanese army, and it is also built with cement, the length and width meet the requirements, so it is easy to provide an airfield, as for the soldiers, it is very simple, they also have many reserve divisions, all of them are recruits, and 8,500 people can be taken out from any division.
Lu Qiang, who received the telegram, immediately put it into operation, a large number of ordnance was loaded on the Il-76, so many things were loaded with ten Il, some spare, in fact, the artillery was disassembled and boxed, as long as two Ils were enough, how to use the Ear, the main thing was that it was troublesome to disassemble, and the 8,500 people had to be brought back, and it was not enough to rely on two planes.
Ten planes with 8,500 people are still very crowded, originally one plane only carried 305 people, which is where everyone has a place to sit, but if it is overloaded, there will be people who have no place to sit, but now Lu Qiang doesn't care if there is a place to sit, first pull people back and then talk.
Lu Qiang pulled all the artillery that their troops are now equipped with on the plane, after all, it would be too time-consuming to pull it from the base, so I will give it to them now. The Japanese guns that were captured in the morning were all loaded, and they were all handed over now, and all the ones captured before had been sold. It took more than an hour, everything was loaded, and Il's huge body, with the help of the wheeled car, moved to the runway, and the fuselage was facing the runway, ready to take off at any time. And before they took off, 25 J-5s used to escort the ship had already taken off and were now hovering overhead.
The fan blades in the four turbine engines of the plane rotated, spewing out a strong air flow, the fuselage began to move forward slowly, faster and faster, after running more than 1,000 meters, the fuselage was lifted, the plane flew into the sky, and then flew away under the protection of two J-5, and then, spraying the "002" paint Il-also came to the runway to take off, one after another, the transport plane took off slowly, ten planes took about ten minutes, and the first take-off Il-like was escorted by the J-5, slowly approaching Nanchang.
Ilr had only flown 8,000 meters high, and the loud noise of the engines could be heard on the ground, and when I looked up, I could see a very small plane moving slowly to the south. The plane will not fly too high, because the cruising altitude of the J-5 is about 8,000 meters, and Nanchang is not far from them, if it rises too high, it is estimated that it will land before it rises to the maximum.
In Nanchang, Xue Yue received a telegram from Lu Qiang saying that their air force was about to arrive and asked them to vacate the airfield for them to land. As soon as he saw this telegram, Xue Yue directly squirted out the tea he had just drunk into his mouth, this was too fast, originally he thought that it would be at least tomorrow, and the plane that had been dispatched before seemed to have just returned, and when he thought of this, he immediately shouted: "Quick, notify the Air Force, and use the fastest speed to vacate the airport." ”
Sitting in the jeep driven by the guard, Xue Yue and the others immediately went to the airport, the airport was all emptied, and everyone was stretching their necks to look at the sky. After waiting for a few minutes, everyone heard a whistling sound from the sky, and at the same time, the tower also received a request to land. Needless to say, of course I agreed to land, this is what Xue Yue had explained before, and a plane will come over.
The sound is getting louder and louder, and the silver-white plane in everyone's eyes is getting clearer and clearer, and there are two small planes escorting the big plane, but everyone's eyes are all focused on the big plane, which is too big, and the momentum is very huge, and the huge noise made by the four engines is simply deafening.
