Chapter 210: It's better to ask for others than for yourself!

As far as Okamura Ningji, who is in Beiping, is concerned, China's agreement to send an aircraft carrier combat formation to assist is undoubtedly the greatest support for the North China Front. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, but the end result disappointed everyone.

After receiving a telegram from the front-line combat troops, Okamura Ninji, who was staying in the combat command room, quickly realized that this time it was really 'losing his wife and losing his troops'. The defeat of naval aviation undoubtedly once again dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders.

Compared with the frustration of holding on to the Japanese army, the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army, which also participated in watching the battle, did not need the commander to do any combat mobilization at all. Seeing such a sharp offensive scene of the Air Force, each of them boosted their morale.

Even unexpectedly, less than an hour after the end of the air battle. The original 129th and 120th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army, which were responsible for the pursuit, resolutely launched a full-scale general offensive and broke through the defensive positions set up by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

Such an opportunity is undoubtedly an opportunity that the top commanders of the two corps will never miss. A large number of artillery fire and the fierce attack of the ground troops made the demoralized Japanese army unable to resist.

Even the original 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which was encircling and annihilating the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang, shortly after the end of the air battle, Commander Lin sent reinforcements to the city with the troops of the two main divisions in one go. At nightfall, Shijiazhuang was declared completely recovered.

Except for some puppet army units that revolted on the battlefield, all the Japanese troops involved in defensive operations were repeatedly annihilated. Of course, there were also a small number of Japanese soldiers who were intimidated by the Eighth Route Army and finally announced their surrender on the battlefield and were captured.

After receiving a farewell message from the defenders of Shijiazhuang, Okamura Ningci, who was far away in Beiping, could only say in the end: "Order all the front-line troops to retreat, take Beiping and Tianyuan as the main positions, and deploy fortifications to prepare for a decisive battle!" ”

For the current North China Front, after losing the powerful foreign aid of the aircraft carrier formation fighter group. There is no need to fantasize about fighting back, and even these areas that they still control at the moment must be given up as soon as possible.

In doing so, there is only one purpose, that is, to increase the grasp of holding Beiping and Tianxin. Even the Tangshan defenders, who had been in a state of confrontation with the three columns of Dongye, all retreated to the Tianyuan area to garrison.

In the face of Okamura Ningji's such a decisive abandonment, He Zhengdao naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity. The three columns stationed in the Tangshan area were ordered to immediately occupy the towns abandoned by the Japanese army and advance in an orderly manner in the direction of Tianyi.

On the other hand, Mr. Zhu, who was in Xibaipo to command the battle, looked at the good news sent from the front line, and said with great joy: "Okay! The flying group has really made a great contribution this time! After returning to Yan'an, I will personally ask them for credit! ”

With the powerful advantage of losing less than 10 fighters, he urged the destruction of the Japanese air force in North China. Such a great victory in air combat is undoubtedly a great victory that China has never had since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

It's just that in the face of Mr. Zhu's excitement, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan smiled bitterly: "Boss, I'm afraid that the Air Force won't be able to provide too much help in the future." In this battle with the Japanese army, we have almost run out of aviation fuel reserves.

Most importantly, the fuel procurement agreement that we reached with the Soviet side earlier, which at the moment seems to be deliberately delayed by the Soviet side. According to the information we have learned, it seems that there are little devils who are deliberately interfering in this.

In addition, it cannot be ruled out that the Soviet side wants to use this method to allow us to provide the combat parameters of the new fighter free of charge. For this reason, the Air Force wants to conduct large-scale operations next, but I am afraid that it will really have to be a little more leisurely. ”

Your own family knows your own affairs!

Don't look at the current Air Force has won a big victory, but as the chief of the General Staff of the Eighth Route Army, Zuo Quan knows that the Air Force is not enough. Aviation fuel alone limits the massive expansion of the Air Force.

Thinking of the oil production and refining equipment that He Zhengdao proposed to buy earlier, Zuo Quan also truly realized that relying on others will never be as strong as his own production. The Soviet Union's move was indeed very disappointing to it.

Of course, according to the analysis of the Yan'an side, it is not excluded that the Soviet side intends to knock the Yan'an side. After all, the purchase agreement reached between Yan'an and the United States this time did make the Soviet top brass a little dissatisfied.

But the problem is that the Eighth Route Army had earlier proposed with the Soviet side some purchase agreements for materials and machinery and equipment. However, the Soviet side refused, unless the Eighth Route Army could pay real money, and refused to provide the so-called loan.

Now seeing that the Eighth Route Army and the U.S. Army have purchased hundreds of millions of combat materials, the Soviet Union feels that Yan'an is a little reluctant to seek the near and far. But they never thought that the money for the purchase of these war materials was itself a loan provided by the United States!

Although the two sides are still negotiating on trade matters, Yan'an does not want to stiffen relations with the Soviet Union. The Soviets also wanted a relatively safe environment in the Far East.

As a result, the Soviets said they were short of aviation fuel and wanted to delay the delivery of fuel. It sounds like a good reason, they are in Poland at the moment, and they also need to consume a lot of fuel.

It's just that at this critical time, he took the Yan'an side, and even hoped to ask for something from the Yan'an side. Such an approach undoubtedly made some people who had a favorable impression of the Soviet Union earlier feel truly disappointed.

Listening to Zuo Quan's words, Mr. Zhu was stunned and said: "It seems that that kid is right again, it is better to ask for others than for yourself." What big brother and allies can't be relied on at critical moments. Iron also needs to be hard!

It's okay, send a telegram to the Air Force and ask them to have a good rest in the near future. Unless there are enemy planes coming, I will not assign them any more combat missions. Of course, if it is necessary to reconnoiter on the battlefield, they still need to cooperate.

In addition, the first telegram was sent to the vice president, so that the rear could produce aviation fuel at full capacity. Although our current oil production is not high, we believe that we can squeeze out some oil. Store it in case you need it.

also sent a telegram to Xiao He to tell him about it. I think this kid often thinks more about this kind of thing than we do. Our planes are a good thing, and we can't just let people pick up the cheap.

Earlier, the vice president sent a telegram to the first time, and it is said that many foreign devils are very interested in our plane. I think that if this matter is left to Xiao He, I believe it can provide us with better support and returns.

Although I don't know much about airplanes, I know that the arsenal is already working on a better aircraft than the current one. As long as others are genuinely doing business with us, why don't we do something beneficial?

I think it's a good idea to borrow someone else's chicken and lay your own eggs. Through this campaign, I really got it. The way of fighting in the future will also change with the emergence of various new weapons.

There is another thing, you will also mention it to Xiao He in the telegram at that time. I know that there is a new type of artillery unit on the side of the arsenal. If you can, send it to the 35th Army to cooperate.

Judging from the current overall operational situation, although the 35 th Army has fought well, the pace of progress has slowed down a bit. I hope that within two to three days, the 35th Army will be able to enter Langfang and threaten Beiping. ”

'Yes, Commander-in-Chief! ’

With the issuance of Mr. Zhu's instructions, He Zhengdao, who received the telegram, did not feel any surprise at the content of the telegram. As he had emphasized earlier, comradeship could never be compared to national interests.

When it comes to national interests, the so-called 'big brother' is just as unreliable. If you want to be truly independent and self-reliant, you can only be self-reliant. At this point, Ho Zhengdao believes that the FΓΌhrer will also have such thoughts.

Think about the countries of later generations tightening their belts to develop nuclear weapons, which was originally also the assistance provided by the Soviet Union. But at a critical time, the Soviet Union said that it would not do it, and it was stunned to recall all the experts. But in the end, China still developed nuclear weapons.

It can be said that the tradition of self-reliance has existed in the hearts of many officers and men and commanders since the founding of the Red Army. And Huaxia is not really without oil fields, what is lacking is nothing more than the machinery and protection ability to develop oil fields.

At present, the Air Force is gradually maturing, and the military strength of the Eighth Route Army is also growing. In He Zhengdao's view, there is no problem at all in developing some new oil fields and expanding the oil and chemical industries of the Eighth Route Army.

Let these leaders see the face of the Soviet Union a little earlier, in He Zhengdao's opinion, it is worth it even if they suffer a little loss. At least he believes that at this stage, for the US military, they should be glad to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army.

And He Zhengdao also hopes that in this honeymoon period, the Eighth Route Army can get more benefits from the US military. Of course, giving the US military some extra sweetness is also a manifestation of sincerity in He Zhengdao's view.

After receiving the telegram sent by Mr. Zhu, He Zhengdao immediately instructed the guard division stationed in the Chaoyang area to dispatch a guard regiment and a rocket artillery unit to immediately rush to the 35 th Army to assist the unit in the next battle.

At the same time, the first and third columns deployed on the periphery of Beiping gathered garrison troops and front-line reserve troops in the liberated areas to formally join the offensive against the North China Front. Even if the offensive is not fierce, it can play a role in containment.

As for the Kwantung Army, which was fighting against the Northeast Field Army at the moment, as it was already snowing in the northeast, He Zhengdao believed that the Kwantung Army would not be long before it would give up this futile counterattack.

After all, with the four columns following the Dongye troops in Hei Province, they successively increased their raids and infiltrations in the areas controlled by the Japanese army. Today, the core defense area of the Kwantung Army can also be described as the people's mood is turbulent and the situation is turbulent.

In this case, if the Kwantung Army continues to dispatch heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern Field Army. The final result, I'm afraid that Mei Mijiro doesn't want to see it. What's more, the sabotage operations of the Saber special operations team have already caused a series of bad consequences.

The railway supply line was broken, and several important factories were destroyed. The industrial base of the Japanese army in the northeast, which was originally in order, also began to become sluggish. This slowness affected not only the Kwantung Army, but the entire Japanese combat unit.

I believe that it won't be long before Mei Mijiro will really understand that what the Kwantung Army wants to do now is not to recover the areas recovered by the Eighth Route Army. Instead, we must do everything possible to ensure the stability of this logistics base in the Northeast!
