Chapter 170: Serving the Country with Loyalty (1)

Tuesday Gou, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Xiang Qingyun, Zeng Qi, Wang Yilang and others discussed the pattern of the war, and Tong Jingya listened silently on the side: The devil did not hesitate to transfer back the navy and aircraft from the Pacific theater to seize the Yangtze River waterway, which shows that the devil's plan is not small; Moreover, the devil transported a large number of soldiers to the direction of Wuhan through the Yangtze River waterway, and the devil in the battle of central Henan in the north of Wuhan had the upper hand, and there was no need to greatly increase troops from the direction of Wuhan, so the next combat goal of the devil must be the sixth, ninth, and third theaters of war in Hunan and Jiangxi, and the combat purpose should be linked to the battle of central Henan in the early stage, which is to open up the Pinghan Railway and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and annihilate the main combat force. Correspondingly, the Wu Mu Army should take precautions and maintain its strength in the direction of the Yangtze River channel and Wuhan, so as to be prepared to cut off the back road of the devils and contain the forces of the devils attacking [***], and at the same time strengthen the production and reserve of weapons and equipment, and prepare to reinforce [***] troops and make another windfall.

At this time, Zeng Qi saw Tong Jingya absent-mindedly stunned, so he joked: "Miss your young general, right?" ”

"I think, our base areas on both sides of the Yangtze River have attracted so many devil warships and planes, and the Americans in the Pacific have taken advantage of it, should we ask the Americans for military spending?" Tong Jingya was still a little absent-minded, but what she said was worth a thousand gold.

"Yes, send a telegram to Chennault and ask the Americans to send some explosives, aluminum alloys, walkie-talkies, and jeeps!" On Tuesday, the dog came to the mention of asking the Americans for something, "Tell them to exchange flying thunder and penicillium powder, and armor-piercing shells!" ”

The Americans saw that the dog division was upgraded to a group army on Tuesday, and they also controlled the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for a time, effectively containing the navy and aircraft in the Pacific theater, so that the Americans saw the hope of using the [***] team to contain Yue himself, so they quickly responded to the request of the Wu Mu Army, and immediately sent a group of bombers to transport the materials that the Wu Mu Army wanted, because the Americans were preparing for the Normandy landing in the European theater and urgently needed the Wu Mu Army's flying mines, armor-piercing bombs, and penicillium powder.

Within a few days, more than 2,000 tons of tungsten sand, 1,000 taels of gold placer and 20 trucks were transported from the logistics base of the Qingyang Instructor on Hengyang Road. Tong Jingya said hello to Qingyun and Shu Jintang early, and immediately stocked up for Lu Qingyang's instructor - 20 Foguang 3 Flying Thunder 4 Launchers, 1600 Foguang 1 Flying Thunder, 4800 Foguang 3 Flying Thunder, 40 Tianyu 3 Flying Thunder 4 Launchers, 4800 Tianyu 1 Flying Thunder, 10000 Tianyu 3 Flying Thunder, 30 mortars above 90mm, 300 Meteor Flying Thunder Launchers, 1500 Meteor Flying Thunder, 300 Javelin Flying Thunder Launchers, 3,000 Javelin Thunderbolts, 300 Odd Light Submachine Guns, 1,000 Wonder Light Rifles, 1 Million 6.5mm Bullets. You must know that with these equipment, Lu Qingyang's instructor is enough to be worthy of the combat effectiveness of a group army, and from Tong Jingya's point of view, it is an additional guarantee for her husband's life. The goods of Lu Qingyang's department were less than a quarter of the purchase of arms, and Tong Jingya made an IOU guarantee.

It so happened that the bomber group of the American army arrived. They were escorted by Chennault's flight team at Kunming Airport, and along the way they gave the US military transport team a demonstration of flying mines, destroying the devil's airfield.

While waiting for the modified thunder launcher in Xishan, Xiang Qingyun ordered a part of the US planes to run errands for Wu Mujun and airlift the materials needed by Lu Qingyang's troops to Changde.

Assigned by the Far Eastern Theater Command, the first batch of modified bomber groups attacked the Devil's Port in Wusongkou, the Devil's Naval Base in the Zhoushan Islands, the Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai, the Jianqiao Airport in Hangzhou, and the Dajiaochang Airport in Nanjing. On the way back, the fully modified bomber group used Foguang-2 and Tianyu-2 mines to attack the Devil's Navy fleet along the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake, and the expenses were shared between the US military and the squadron.

The bombing of the airfield and navy by the US air force easily wiped out a number of planes and warships of the Chinese army, and relieved the pressure on the US military in the Pacific theater. However, the real big winner is, of course, Wu Mujun, who eliminated the naval and air force threats of Li Jinglong's department in Hangzhou Bay and the devils along the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

Although at the suggestion of a small colonel Tong Jingya, the US bomber group bombed the navy of the devil's Zhoushan naval base, the Wusong Port wharf, the navy on the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake, as well as a series of airfields in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuhan, destroying and damaging a large number of warships and planes of the devils, and the Chinese [***] squadron made a good start. The ensuing war shocked the international community, the domestic military, and the people.

After the Battle of Changheng began, the devils went straight to Changsha with heavy troops, and Lu Qingyang, who was stationed in Changde, watched the devils on the West Road pass through Dongting Lake, cross the Yuan River, and even go down to Yiyang and Ningxiang, and directly approached Changsha, and the devils on the East Dongting Lake Road surrounded Changsha, and couldn't help but ask the commander of the Sixth Theater to attack, and was rejected by General Sun Lianzhong on the grounds of ensuring the safety of Changde and defending the important town in the east of Yucheng.

As a result, Lu Qingyang had no choice but to retreat and attack the Lu Qingfu battalion of the Lu Qingbao Regiment stationed in Hanshou, targeting between Yuanjiang and Yiyang. Because there is no need to ask the upper level for operations below the battalion level.

Lu Qingfu made a meritorious contribution and marched quickly towards the Yuanjiang River with a lightly armed company, followed by the other 3 companies (2 infantry companies and 1 fire company).

Lu Qingfu took out the skills of the special operations battalion, and arrived outside Yuanjiang City at 0:00 after a three-hour rapid march, just enough to rest for a few hours.

The scouts came to report that the devils set up a guard position every 5 kilometers along the transportation line, but a squad of devils was a piece of cake for Lu Qingfu's people, Lu Qingyang gave an order, and the soldiers of the two squads rushed along the road to Yiyang, cleaning up the devil guard positions along the way, a squad was responsible for cleaning up the devil guard positions, a squad was responsible for occupying the devil guard positions, a platoon occupied the nearest guard position to the Yuanjiang River, disguised as devils, and the other platoon was ambushed on both sides of the road, and a squad was responsible for receiving the troops behind.

A squadron of devils escorted more than 100 carts from the Yuanjiang River, but was stopped by Lu Qingfu's devils in makeup. Lu Qingfu claimed to be from the epidemic prevention force, and there was a plague in the front troops, so the transport team had to take epidemic prevention drugs before entering the forward defense area.

The devil transport team drank Lu Qingfu's sweat medicine in a daze, and became a slippery captive in a daze.

Lu Qingfu ordered a company to change into the military uniform of the devil and drive the cart back, and the troops who arrived behind fired intermittently, creating a fierce battle of gunfire.

Seeing that the convoy was attacked, the devils of Yuanjiang hurriedly came out to reinforce them, and were attacked by Lu Qingfu's men and rushed into Yuanjiang City, and then Lu Qingfu's other two companies also rushed in.

The devils guarding the Yuanjiang military station only had a transport brigade of more than 700 people, and they were all soldiers with poor combat quality, and they were only equipped with a few light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers, so they couldn't resist Lu Qingfu, who was equipped with a large number of submachine guns.

After Lu Qingfu occupied the Yuanjiang River, he immediately sent a report to Lu Qingbao and Lu Qingyang, informing them that the Yuanjiang River had been occupied and a large amount of materials had been seized.

Lu Qingyang, who was lost in wealth, immediately ordered Lu Qingfu to stick to the Yuanjiang River, and ordered Lu Qingbao to send people to set off from the waterway to reinforce Lu Qingfu and transport the materials of the Yuanjiang River back to Hanshou.

Sun Lianzhong is also a veteran oil, how can he not know Lu Qingyang's little tricks? So it was agreed that Lu Qingyang could send reinforcements.

What a tacit understanding between Lu Qingbao and Lu Qingyang, they immediately went out to "rescue" Lu Qingfu. An infantry battalion rushed to the Yuanjiang River by water with a large number of boats, and another battalion and regimental detachment rushed to the Yuanjiang River by road.

The devil lost the Yuanjiang military station and was cut off from supplies, how can he be willing to give up? A large battalion of devil infantry rushed to Yuanjiang, and at the same time, a nearby field artillery squadron was also mobilized to rush to Yuanjiang, and it was necessary to recapture Yuanjiang and ensure logistical supplies.

Lu Qingyang arranged the 6 heavy machine guns and 3 Tianyu Flying Thunder of the fire company in the key rush, waiting for the devil's counterattack. Seeing that the devil brigade was coming, without waiting for the devils to set up a formation, the heavy machine guns strafed together, killing more than 20 devils.

Only then did the devils arrange the formation, build heavy machine gun and infantry artillery positions, and the infantry set out positions, while Lu Qingfu commanded light and heavy machine guns to attack and disturb the devils in turn.

After the devil unfolded the formation with difficulty, as soon as he came up, he put the 3 infantry squadrons out of a wave formation to attack with all his strength, and was knocked down by a salvo of Lu Qingfu's 3 Tianyu Flying Thunder, because the launch speed was too fast, the devil artillery did not see Lu Qingfu's artillery position.

The devil had never seen this kind of dense firepower, and he was so frightened that he retreated in a hurry, not daring to approach Yuanjiang City again.

The Devil's Field Artillery Squadron arrived, and when they heard that the Zhina people had strong firepower, they were very unconvinced, and they set up 12 105mm mountain field guns to bombard, asking the Zhina people to see what it means to have strong firepower.

When Lu Qingfu saw the devil's artillery come out of the world, he also retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, ordering 3 Tianyu Flying Thunder to give the devil a 5-shot shot in a row, so that the devil could open his eyes.

The accuracy of the rain and thunder is far inferior to the devil's mountain artillery, but it is better than intensive, and a round of bombardment will wipe out most of the devil's artillery, but it also provides an opportunity for the flat-fire artillery of the devil's infantry who have been looking for Lu Qingfu's artillery, and knocked out Lu Qingfu's 1 flying thunder launcher.

Lu Qingfu's Tianyu Flying Thunder hurriedly shifted his position, and the single-shot meteor flying thunder equipped by the infantry also killed the devil's flat-fire gun. The infantry artillery, mortars, and flat-fire guns of the devil's infantry opened fire together, trying to suppress Lu Qingfu's firepower.

The devil didn't know that the mobile non-devil's bulky artillery with a single flying thunder was comparable, and after immediately transferring the position, it could be put into battle again in a short time, and the devil's artillery would be counter-suppressed, and most of the artillery attached to the devil's infantry would be quickly wiped out.

Before Lu Qingfu could enjoy it, Lu Qingbao's reinforcements arrived, and a strong charge defeated the devil and fled to Yiyang.

Lu Qingbao did not chase after him, but only deployed defensive positions to cover the ships on the waterway to carry supplies.

Mortars, infantry guns, light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, rifles, all kinds of shells, and bullets were carried onto wooden boats one by one, and returned to the safe area first.

Lu Qingbao threw the 3 Foguang Flying Thunders and 6 Tianyu Flying Thunders of the firepower battalion into battle together, and sank the 3 devil's gunboats at once, making the devil sailors daunted and hesitating.

Only then did the devil's high-level know that they had encountered the elite troops of the Chinese army, and hurriedly sent planes to help in the battle.

Lu Qingbao saw that a large number of supplies had been transported away, and he had no time to entangle with the devils, so he launched a round of Buddha light flying thunder for the plane, shooting down 3 devil planes, and the devil planes did not dare to move forward.

Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of the Devils, received a report that a King Kong unit had appeared in the Shina Army, which not only had strong firepower, but also had complete air defense and anti-artillery capabilities. Yokoyama did not believe in evil and knew that it was a flying mine equipped by the Chinese people, so he sent 8 medium bombers to use high-altitude bombing to destroy this Chinese army.

Lu Qingbao knew the devil's path very well, and after the materials were withdrawn, the troops also returned to the original defense area. Along the way, a small group of devils is not a problem at all, and those who dare to teach the mentor and tiger beard will be eliminated on the spot!

Lu Qingyang received the loot handed over by Lu Qingbao in Changde, and after counting, there were 4 150mm mortars and 480 shells; 4 120mm mortars with 480 shells; 12 90mm mortars with 2,400 shells; 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 1,200 shells; 6 flat-fire guns with 1,800 shells; 30 heavy machine guns, 108 Type 99 light machine guns, 300,000 rounds of 7.7mm bullets; 108 grenadiers and more than 20,000 grenades; more than 1,500 Type 38 rifles and more than 50 thousand rounds of 6.5mm bullets; more than 20,000 grenades; 500 kg of explosives, 2000 meters of fuse; In addition, 4,800 rounds of 75mm mountain artillery shells, 1,200 rounds of 105mm artillery shells, a large number of medicines, medical equipment, biscuits, canned food, oil, salt, sugar, radios, batteries, flashlights, gasoline, kerosene, and engineering equipment......

Lu Qingyang ordered the cooking squad to set up a cauldron, fry the rice, add oil, salt, and sugar, and urgently make dry food for war readiness; Replenish the firepower of the positions with captured artillery and heavy machine guns; The units collected carts, bicycles, rickshaws, wooden boats, and other means of transportation, and then reported them to the Sixth Theater Commander's Department.

Sun Lianzhong is a veteran who rushed out of the rain of bullets, and according to the battle report, he expected that the Military Commission would definitely let the Sixth War Zone reinforce him, so he sent an army in advance to move closer to Changde, and just waited for the Military Commission to give an order, and stationed this army in Changde, so that the instructor who sharpened the knife Huo Huo attacked, which was thought of by Lu Qingyang.

Lu Qingyang waited, waited, the Military Commission did not give an order, and Lu Qingyang did not dare to act rashly, after all, guarding Chang Virtue is a big matter.

The order of the Military Commission finally came down, mainly because Changsha was tight, and ordered the Luqing Yang Department to rush to the aid of Changsha.

Lu Qingyang received the order and scolded: "What are the officials and men of the Military Commission doing to eat, they only give the order now, and when they arrive in Changsha, the cucumbers and vegetables are cold!" "Scolding and scolding, the instructor who is ready to go still sets off immediately.

Lu Qingyang believed that if he had made a long-distance attack to reach Changsha, first, he was afraid that Changsha would no longer be guaranteed, and second, even if the troops rushed to Changsha, the troops after the long-distance attack would be greatly reduced in terms of soldiers' physical strength, combat establishment, and combat preparation time, and their combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least more than 30 percent. So it's better to advance eastward, cut off the devil's side, and give the devil a draw.

Before the departure of the troops, Lu Qingyang held an operational meeting and announced the battle plan, first attacking Yiyang, and then crossing the Xiangjiang River to advance in the direction of Pingjiang, cutting off the rear route of the devils; Lu Qingfu's battalion stayed in Changde, assisted in the replacement of troops to guard Changde, and provided logistical support for the instructor's forward troops; With the Luqingmeng Regiment as the vanguard, the artillery regiment, the directly subordinate regiment, the Luqingwei regiment, and the Luqingbao regiment followed up in turn; The first combat target -- Yiyang.

After Lu Qingyang left, Lu Qingfu handed over to the 66th Army. Fang Jing, commander of the 66th Army, was a little unhappy when he saw that Lu Qingyang had left only one battalion commander to handle the handover, so he arranged for the chief of the operations department of the headquarters to go through the handover formalities with the instructor.

Fang Jing received a report from the head of the operations department that the instructor had left behind 8 heavy mortars and 24 heavy machine guns, and had already controlled all important passes and positions, and left a defense plan. Fang Jing was impressed by Lu Qingyang at this time, because the instructor went to the front line to charge into battle, and he was actually willing to keep the heavy firepower equipment for himself, which was really interesting, which was a miracle in [***].

So, Fang Jing personally met Lu Qingfu. Lu Qingfu gave Fang Jing a detailed report on the original deployment of the troops and their operational ideas, and then waited for Fang Jing's instructions respectfully.

As soon as Fang Jing saw that Lu Qingfu was in his early 20s, he was already a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, and thought that Lu Qingfu was just a child of a family who relied on nepotism, so he couldn't help but feel contempt.

Lu Qingfu answered Fang Jing's question fluently, and put forward his own opinion: "Commander Fang, our mortars are mainly auxiliary infantry, so the artillery position is in the front, considering that your infantry has no artillery establishment and will not be able to use artillery, so our department plans to arrange two soldiers for each artillery to provide technical and tactical guidance for your army, please arrange literate soldiers to cooperate, it is best to have experience in artillery, the fourth and fifth gunners of the artillery will do, as for the artillery of your army, I think that the first to enter the reserve position, and when the enemy situation is clear, I will decide how to use it!" ”

"That's right," Fang Jing completely recognized Lu Qingfu, "How many soldiers in your department can shoot cannons?" ”

"The officers and men above the deputy squad leader of our battalion can use mortars, infantry guns, and anti-aircraft guns, with a total of 158 people, and the degree of training of infantry artillery is different, and the number is unknown!"

"The artillery personnel of our department are fixed posts and personnel, and they are not wealthy, so please provide some personnel for artillery in your department, what do you think?" Fang Jing's tone was much more polite.

"Report to the commander, our battalion was ordered to provide logistical support for the forward troops, so I didn't dare to disobey the order!" Of course, Lu Qingfu understands the importance of the task.

"So, I'll assign you another battalion to complete your logistics support task, do you think it's okay?" Fang Jing knew that if no one could use the artillery, the 8 heavy mortars left by Lu Qingyang would be useless.

"With all due respect, the quality of our troops, weapons and equipment, and tactical tactics are different from those of other troops, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for your troops to complete the tasks assigned by our minister!" Lu Qingfu became difficult to speak at this time, and he obviously looked down on the combat quality of other troops.

Fang Jing's face was also a little unpleasant, but he still patiently persuaded: "Then I will assign the direct regiment to you, and I can always help you complete the task, right?" ”

"If Commander Fang wants to help my battalion complete the task, you don't need to give me so many troops, give me 10 3-ton trucks, I can allocate 2 infantry companies and 1 fire company to assist your army, however, our artillery must be jointly commanded by officers at or above the regimental level of your battalion, in order to give full play to the power of artillery and infantry cooperation, our infantry at least in squads, with your army above the company level to fight, my infantry are elite soldiers, can not be easily used as cannon fodder!" When it comes to combat, Lu Qingfu insists on his own proposition without giving an inch.

Fang Jing was also angry, what do you teach the instructor, actually 1 artillery commands a battalion for me, and an infantry squad commands a company for me? Aren't you going to command a division of mine?

Lu Qingfu saw that Fang Jing was angry, but he still didn't give an inch, but he still had to explain it to Fang Jing clearly, so he simply spoke with his strength: "Please ask Commander Fang to check the situation of our battalion before making a decision, I don't know if Commander Fang is willing to appreciate the light?" ”

In normal times, if a small broken battalion commander dared to talk to himself like this, Fang Jing would have already been full of old fists with his fists and feet, but seeing that Lu Qingfu was so confident, he really didn't know if this kid was superior in strength or didn't know the height of the sky, Fang Jing decided to take a look at this army that Lu Qingfu thought was godly. (To be continued.) )
