Chapter 301: The Verge
Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.
After receiving the telegram from the flight team, Zhang Yunfei was also overjoyed, now, at least one-third of the little devils' whereabouts have been discovered, and with the exact location of the little devils, things are much easier.
Zhang Yunfei, who was in a good mood, smiled and said to everyone: "Comrades, the aerial reconnaissance of the flying brigade just now has discovered the whereabouts of at least one-third of the little devils, which is good news." ”
When everyone saw such good news, they were all overjoyed, and several combat staff officers in the command even high-fived each other happily to congratulate them.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, was also happy, walked quickly to the map, marked the location of the little devil, and carefully calculated the distance between him and the little devil.
Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone looked good, and after looking around, he smiled slightly, and then said with a straight face: "Now convey the order, and order the first regiment of the cavalry division that has reached Baotou to temporarily garrison Baotou, maintain social order, and check the materials that the little devil has not taken away."
At the same time, send a report to Wu Youqing and Sun Chuanzhi, ordering them to send troops to encircle and intercept the little devil cavalry that we have discovered, and eliminate them as soon as possible; Order the flying brigade to continue to scout and find out the whereabouts of the rest of the little devils. ”
Zhang Yunfei's order was immediately transmitted to all units, and all units immediately began to act in an orderly manner.
At this time, the closest to the first wing of the little devil cavalry was the mechanized infantry regiment, the armored division was from Guisui to the north, the previous destination was originally the north of Baotou, as the vanguard of the armored division, the mechanized infantry regiment was less than fifty kilometers away from the position of the first cavalry wing of the little devil.
Because there is a plane in the sky to guide, the first wing of the little devil cavalry has nowhere to hide, and the three battalions of the mechanized infantry regiment are divided into three routes, and each battalion is only a few kilometers apart, in the shape of a large fan, and it goes straight to the location of the little devil.
Commander Pan, of the mechanized infantry regiment riding on an off-road vehicle, was also full of excitement at this time, looking at the speeding off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers, his heart was full of slight excitement, and Commander Pan was full of expectations for the upcoming battle.
Before leaving, the mechanized infantry regiment had enough ammunition and supplies, and even if it fought on the grassland for two or three consecutive days, it was still competent.
The off-road vehicles and armored vehicles of the mechanized infantry regiment are much faster than horses running, and can continue to gallop at a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour for several hours in a row.
Now the first wing of the little devil cavalry is rushing to the northeast, since the discovery of the Chinese plane in the sky, the little devils after a short panic, under the order of the commander of the little devil brigade, began to flee for their lives again.
The three planes of the flying brigade patronized the sky above the little devil team from time to time, and still circled a few times above the little devil's head, and the little devil on the ground had no way to do anything about the Chinese plane above his head, and was helpless, and the only thing he could do was to run as fast as he could, and run for his life quickly.
The little devil hopes to take advantage of his good cavalry mobile surname to get rid of China's pursuers, many little devils think so, even the brigade commander of the little devil thinks so.
The little devils think that after a night of escaping last night, they have left Baotou for 100 kilometers, and the current [***] team should have been thrown away by themselves at least dozens or hundreds of kilometers.
The little devil cavalry brigade didn't know that the [***] team had sent a large number of chariots and was chasing him, and the little devil thought that it should be the Chinese cavalry unit that was chasing him.
It's not that the little devil's intelligence work is not doing well, but that the little devil units that have fought with the Chinese armored division before, like the former First Cavalry Brigade and tens of thousands of little devils in Guisui, these little devil units have all been wiped out by the [***] team, and some specific information about the Chinese armored division, the second brigade of the little devil cavalry, there is still no correct understanding.
In the understanding of many officers of the Second Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry, the 36th Group Army has a little armored vehicles and tanks, but this number is definitely not much, and the little devil never dreamed that the 36th Group Army is currently equipped with an armored division, hundreds of Type 39 tanks, hundreds of Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and many modified off-road vehicles.
For the cavalry of the 36th Group Army, the commanders of the 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry are also relatively vague, and the little devils know that the 36th Group Army has a cavalry unit, but the specific number of people, the little devils are not very clear, and the estimates of the little devils may be several thousand.
A large part of the incomplete understanding of the armored division and cavalry division of the Second Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry is also due to the encirclement and annihilation of the main force and headquarters of the Little Devil Mengsui Regiment.
At this time, the commander of the little devil brigade also galloped on his warhorse. Thousands of little devil cavalry, including more than 2,000 people from the First Wing of the Little Devil Cavalry, and more than 1,000 people from the Second Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry, a total of nearly 4,000 little devils, galloped all the way on the vast grassland.
The commander of the little devil brigade, looking at such a huge cavalry team around him, was very confident for a while, and thought in his heart, he had so many cavalry, even if he encountered the cavalry of the [***] team, he would have the strength to fight, at least, if he successfully got rid of the cavalry of the [***] team, there should be no problem.
The captain of the first wing of the little devil cavalry also followed closely next to the commander of the little devil brigade, and the captain of the little devil wing looked at the thousands of cavalry running towards him, looking so powerful, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
in the sky.
Gao Zhihang, who was driving the Mustang fighter, after getting the news that the mechanized infantry regiment was nearby, thought that the next battle would definitely be a big battle, and there were not a few cavalry of the little devils, and his own flying brigade still had to help the mechanized infantry regiment.
This time, the flight group took off nearly 20 Mustang fighters, and Gao Zhihang planned to leave a few planes in the relevant area to continue reconnaissance, and the rest of the planes all flew to this area to participate in the battle.
Although the Mustang fighter in charge of this reconnaissance mission did not carry aerial bombs, the Mustang fighter, as a fighter with an excellent surname, had six large-caliber machine guns on board, and was not a vegetarian, and its ground attack capability was also very good.
Gao Zhihang left a plane and continued to hover above the little devil's head, continuing to monitor the little devil's movements, Gao Zhihang led another plane and flew towards the location of the mechanized infantry regiment.
About five or six minutes later, Gao Zhi saw the mechanized infantry regiment that was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Little Devil Cavalry Wing, and several teams of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment were divided into three roads, approaching the direction where the Little Devil Cavalry was located.
Gao Zhihang further lowered his altitude, maintained an altitude of five or six hundred meters from the ground, and flew towards the mechanized infantry regiment a few kilometers away.
When many fighters saw their planes, they began to cheer towards the sky, Gao Zhihang sat in the cockpit, waved to the fighters on the ground, and then piloted his fighter planes and began to hover in the sky.
Commander Pan of the mechanized infantry regiment saw Gao Zhihang's plane circling and maneuvering in the sky and knew that he was guiding himself, so Commander Pan picked up the wireless telephone on the off-road vehicle and began to shout: "Comrades, the cavalry of the little devils is not far ahead, and we will exchange fire with the little devils in thirty or forty minutes, everyone get ready."
At the same time, the first battalion went around to the front of the little devil and cut off the direction of the little devil's advance, and the second and third battalions advanced at full speed, and everyone was ready to fight. ”
Hearing the shouts of their regiment commanders, many battalion commanders and company commanders immediately passed the order to their troops, and a dozen armored personnel carriers and more than 30 off-road vehicles of the first battalion immediately drove in front of the little devils to intercept the fleeing little devils.
Twenty minutes later, the sky above the little devil cavalry.
More than a dozen Mustang fighters are flying towards the area where the little devils are, these fighters are not flying at a high altitude, keeping them at an altitude of one thousand meters, and the little devil cavalry on the ground soon discovered these Chinese fighters.
The brigade commander of the little devils suddenly saw a lot of little devils who were running around, and they were shocked and panicked, and many of the little devils even pointed in the direction of the Chinese fighters, and their faces were full of panic.
When the little devil brigade saw this scene, they immediately looked into the sky, only to see that a large number of planes appeared in the sky in the distance, at least a dozen of them, because these planes did not fly at a high altitude, it can be seen with the naked eye that these planes are obviously the planes of the [***] team.
Seeing this situation, the little devil brigade's heart tightened, and the mood that was relatively optimistic and confident just now suddenly became heavy, and the commander of the little devil brigade suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart that his troops might be in trouble.
The captain of the little devil wing next to him, seeing that his brigade commander's face suddenly changed, also sank in his heart, and thought in his heart, no, these Chinese fighters are obviously coming for their own cavalry wing, in this case, the situation is very bad.
