Yangmingbao, a town that is not too famous in Dai County. But with the Japanese army, this town was set as the location of their airfield. In addition to the defenders of the airport, there were also many Japanese troops stationed there.

The Japanese army transferred to the planes here and participated in the battle between Xinzhou and Taiyuan. Even if the Japanese army attacks Linfen and other places now, the planes here will participate every day. The soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War at the front hated him to the extreme.

It's just that compared to history, this airfield was established shortly after the Japanese army entered Shanxi. Now the battle has been postponed, and the construction of the airport has also been postponed. Although the 129th Division also thought about attacking, it knew that the chances of victory were very small.

And before that, a brigade of the Jin Sui Army raided Yangmingbao Airport, but the airport did not rush in, and it was defeated by the Japanese army. At this point, the 129th Division, in order to preserve its vital strength, finally chose to give up attacking this airfield.

Now, with the defeat of the Jin Sui army in the west of Jin, the Japanese army also attaches great importance to the safety of this airport. Even in the town near the airport, a squadron of vehicles was deployed to support the possible attacks on the airport at any time.

Previously, Liu Bocheng and the commanders and fighters of the 129th Division also considered that if they adopted the method of attacking and attacking at night, they might be able to destroy this Japanese airfield. It's just that they can't afford the price they paid, so they gave up the attack plan.

At present, the saber special combat team of the independent column suddenly came to ask for their assistance. Even more of them are the troops responsible for transportation and vigilance, which makes the commanders of the 129th Division also feel a little incredible.

In the face of Song Yuping's self-confidence, there is also He Zhengdao's handwritten letter. Liu Bocheng finally said: "How many troops do you need?" ”

'It's better to have a main regiment, if there are too few people. I'm just afraid that it won't work. Most importantly, we have the time to block. I'm afraid it won't be too long. If the battle could not be ended within three hours, the Japanese troops stationed near Dai County would only be afraid that they would rush over.

Only three hours to end the fighting. The supplies from the airport were transferred into the mountains at one time, and the Japanese troops could only look at the mountains and sigh. And what our division commander means, I hope you will recognize the attack on Yangmingbao this time. ’

Hearing this, Political Commissar Deng said with a slight smile: "You independent division, do you have too much credit?" ”

'Political Commissar Deng, we dare to say such big things! It's just that the mission of our independent division this time is not limited to Yangmingbao. Rush the airport of the little devils. It's more about providing cover for our big plans next.

If the airfield is destroyed by us, the Japanese troops stationed in Xinzhou at that time are afraid that they will send troops to encircle and suppress the 129th Division. It can be said that the destruction of Yangmingbao Airport should be a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

Solve the little devil's airport in Shanxi, and the little devil's plane can only come from the direction of North China. This means that our troops have more time to fight. In the morning and evening, you can fight the little devils.

In addition, as long as the Japanese army sent troops, the defense strength in other places would be relatively weakened. This is next. We can help by carrying out a raid. It's just that the pressure you will have to face at that time will not be too small! ’

Looking at Song Yuping with an apologetic expression on his face, Liu Bocheng, as the division commander, smiled and said, "Dare to love your division commander." This time, I plan to let our 129th Division be a target! However, as long as you can destroy this airport, you can be a target.

Just a saying. The next time I see your teacher, remember to bring it to me. If the plan is successful in the future. In the future, you will have to give priority to our 129 supplies. At least I know. You've got a lot of good stuff in your hands! ”

'The chief is wise! Actually, this time, I was also ordered to bring a little gift. It's just that we don't have much production at the moment. With regard to this gift, it is also hoped that the Chief will make arrangements for the use of the guard units as much as possible.

When the previous things were first produced, for the time being, only our special operations brigade and reconnaissance brigade were installed. The rest of the production, except for what I brought out this time, is only equipped with the guard division and the headquarters guard battalion. ’

'Oh! There are also gifts, why not say it earlier! What a gift, I'll see! ’

As a result, Song Yuping also said in a timely manner: "Please also ask the chiefs to move, everything is currently guarded by my team members!" It's just that the division commander has an explanation, and I hope that the leaders can implement the strictest secrecy system. ”

Full of curiosity, Liu Bocheng and the commander of the 129th Division soon came to the material department specially guarded by the special combat team. Seeing the arrival of these leaders, the special combat team members who looked at the weapons all saluted and greeted.

At this time, Song Yuping said in a timely manner: "Pull the cordon a little away, if there is nothing important, don't bother for the time being." Spread out, all of you! Here, just leave it to me. ”

'Yes, Squad Leader! ’

Facing Song Yuping's serious expression, Liu Bocheng felt a little surprised. But soon, Song Yuping opened a wooden box and said: "Chief, this is the first standard submachine gun in our arsenal that has been finalized and mass-produced."

This submachine gun is better than the current domestic submachine gun in terms of performance, accuracy, and even comfort of use. The most important thing is that this submachine gun has more ammunition than the submachine gun made by Jin, and the fire suppression effect is better! ”

'Wait! You mean, this gun is produced in our arsenal? ’

'Yes! The first batch of 800 guns produced were handed over by our division commander to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters. In the end, the guard division took three hundred, and the main part went five hundred. It's just that there are fewer bullets at the moment.

This gun can be used universally with Mauser pistol cartridges, and this time we came over, and we only brought 10,000 rounds of ammunition. As long as we wait until our plan succeeds this time, we believe in the bullets of this submachine gun, and we will be able to produce them ourselves.

Moreover, according to the information revealed by our division commander, if this plan is successful, it is possible to build the first standard rifle of our Eighth Route Army. Therefore, this action is really important for us. ’

Looking at the submachine gun handed to him with a somewhat strange style, but with the smell of gun oil, Liu Bocheng sighed and said: "I really can't imagine that the arsenal in our base area can already produce guns on its own.

No wonder before, you said you needed to keep it secret. If this news is known to Lao Jiang and the little devils, I am afraid that their vigilance against us will be raised a lot. It seems that we can't fight this battle even if we don't want to. ”

Listening to Liu Bocheng's sigh, Song Yuping also smiled and said: "Chief, in fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as we retreat in time. If you don't take the initiative to provoke, you believe that the little devils can't organize a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation in a short time.

It's just that what our division commander means is that as long as we transfer things out. At that time, we will fight a new Taiyuan battle around the direction of Xinzhou, Shuozhou and Taiyuan. Strive to eliminate as many of the main forces of the little devils as possible. ”

revealed the content of some plans, and Liu Bocheng also nodded: "Yes!" This time, I asked the 385 Brigade to cooperate with your actions. Hongkun, then your 385th Brigade will cooperate with the troops of the Independent Division to launch an attack on Yangyangbao Airport.

In the process of fighting, you cooperate more with the three guys. Leave the guard battalion of your brigade under the command of the three sons. Learn from them how to conduct a special operation. There aren't many opportunities like this! ”

'Yes, please rest assured! I will definitely cooperate well with Captain Song! ’

looked at Wang Hongkun, the commander of the 385 Brigade, and took this order very seriously. Song Yuping smiled bitterly and said, "Brigade Commander Wang, I don't dare to take what you say!" Tomorrow morning's operation, you only need to provide a main force to cooperate.

As for the rest of the troops, they act as blocking forces. Once we succeed, we will be able to ensure that we will not be attacked by the imps during the retreat. There is a regiment that believes that the airport will be emptied soon. ”

'Good! Then I'll let the 769 regiment cooperate with you! This regiment is also the main force of our brigade, and its combat effectiveness is still very good! ’

After some deliberation, the 385th Brigade quickly assembled for battle overnight. In addition to the 769 Regiment and the Brigade Headquarters Guard Battalion, following Song Yuping's actions. The rest of the troops also entered the blocking point determined by Song Yuping and Wang Hongkun to build fortifications.

When Song Yuping led the 769 Regiment to arrive near Yangmingbao Airport, looking at the lights in the direction of the machine gun, the head of the 769 Regiment led the team Chen said with a little confusion: "Captain Song, shall we just touch it?" ”

Of course not! Don't worry, just wait for you and your troops, and wait for my signal at any time. As soon as you see my flares, you cross the river from here into the airport as fast as you can. Guard battalion, cross the river ahead of me.

Outside the little devil's airport, the members of my special combat team have been lurking there in advance. The barbed wire fence laid by the little devils outside is actually an ornament. All you have to do is run into the airport to clean up the battlefield. ’

'Don't you really need our help?' ’

"Thank you for your kindness, but this attack on the airport, we still want to capture the little devil plane parked at the airport." After all, if we want to form an air force, we can only do it through this kind of capture! ’

After chatting for a while, he gave further specific instructions for the next operation. Song Yuping looked at the time and said, "Head Chen, it's almost time." We'll cross the river early and see you at the airport later! ”

'Okay, Captain Song, take care! ’

Under the watchful eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 769th Regiment, Song Yuping and the guard battalion that fought with them quickly crossed the river through the shallow water area that had been checked in advance, and successfully arrived on the other side of the river.

On the other hand, the guard battalion commander who followed Song Yuping also followed Song Yuping's side, constantly conveying orders to the guard battalion soldiers behind him. For the most powerful unit of the Eighth Route Army, they have actually heard of it.

Looking at each member of the special combat team, he basically did not speak, and expressed his meaning with a series of gestures. Many of the soldiers of the guard battalion felt that they understood what it meant, except for some simple combat sign language, they did not understand anything else.

This alone made them feel that if they had the opportunity in the future, they would indeed apply for the Saber training camp camp. If you can join this army, I believe it is also a matter of pride! (To be continued.) )
