As the former commander of Henan Province transferred all the latest battlefield information collected to He Zhengdao, who was sitting in Shanxi to command the operation. He Zhengdao, who spent a lot of effort www.biquge.info the pen, found that the strength of the enemy and us in Henan is really a bit equal.

However, in terms of pressure, the new 67th Army stationed in Xinyang and the Dabie Mountain area undoubtedly had the most pressure. As for the troops of the Eighth Route Army in other regions, they still had a certain advantage in the face of the Japanese army.

The battle, which lasted for more than a month, undoubtedly cost a lot of money to the Japanese army who hastily dispatched reinforcements. The Eighth Route Army, which continued to send additional troops to Henan, also paid a lot of price for winning the battle.

It is precisely this kind of situation that both sides hold their breath and dare not let go, so that the war has formed the current stalemate. It's just that in the eyes of many people, there is some helpless information, but it has attracted the attention of He Zhengdao.

Because the reconnaissance unit of the new 67th Army blocked the Japanese baggage troops that were supplying supplies in the direction of Zhumadian. In the end, the Central China Front also seemed to be moved, and organized several transport groups to airdrop supplies to the Japanese army in Zhumadian.

For the little devil to spend such a large price to airdrop materials from the air, the Eighth Route Army naturally could not do anything. Most importantly, the Zhumadian area is now under the control of the Japanese army. The existence of two Japanese divisions is not easy to break.

With the airdropped supplies and ammunition, the two divisions of the Japanese army that were stuck in Zhumadian could stop the attack of Liu Zhidan's division and the first division of the new 67th Army that were heading south from Zhengzhou. At the same time, it can also draw troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in Xinyang.

In this way, the new 67th Army in Xinyang has only one main division that can be put into defensive operations. The remaining troops also had to defend against the Japanese troops in the direction of Zhumadian and beware of their heavy assault on the Xinyang area.

After reading a series of intelligence materials, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Chief of Staff, if we can destroy the Japanese army's supply base in Runan. Do you think that the Japanese army in the Zhumadian area can still hold out? ”

Faced with such an inquiry, Ye Jianying said with a smile: "There are no supplies, the little devil is still a fart!" According to the information we have reconnoitred, the little devils have now gathered heavy troops around Runan, and even the local people have been driven away.

Even in order to prevent the infiltration of our small troops, the little devils have set up multiple lines of defense and checkpoints. In addition to the troops stationed in Runan, the convoy that even went to transport ammunition had to be inspected many times before being released.

It can be said that if we want to destroy the supply center of the little devils in Runan, the first thing we need to do is to break through the blocking defense line they have set up on the periphery. If we had this kind of strength, we would not have formed the current stalemate. ”

'Who said that to destroy their supply centers, they must attack from the ground?' ’

As soon as these words came out, looking at the mysterious smile on He Zhengdao's face, Ye Jianying's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "You mean air raids?" ”

'Yes! This is not far from our Second Air Force Brigade in Baoji, they have been training in Baoji for so long, shouldn't they come out for a while? Can the little devil protect against bombs falling from the sky? ’

Although the Japanese army and the national army know that the Eighth Route Army also has some air force units. But they also knew that the air force of the Eighth Route Army was simply not enough. Even the air force units of the National * Army don't look down on the air force units of the Eighth Route Army.

After all, everyone knows that the current Air Force of the Eighth Route Army is more used to train pilots. Of course, they also had a role, that is, to expel the Japanese reconnaissance planes into Shaanxi. But the Japanese fighters, they rarely sorted.

The reason is also very simple, most of the aircraft equipped by the Eighth Route Army are old-fashioned aircraft in the early years of the Japanese army. It can be said that the performance of these aircraft is very poor, and if they are launched into the air to fight, they are not at all the opponents of the Japanese fighters.

But He Zhengdao knows very well that the air force unit with a lot of bombers, if it occasionally acts as a surprise soldier, it still has a role in He Zhengdao's opinion, and the actual distance between Baoji and Zhumadian is not very far.

At present, the Japanese troops stationed in Runan are more likely to prevent the infiltration and surprise attacks of the ground forces of the Eighth Route Army. Even though the Japanese army did not have exact intelligence proof, they already knew that the Eighth Route Army had a very elite small force.

The death of the Sakura Special Attack Team has something to do with this elite small force. And the most likely unit of this elite small unit is the new 67th Army stationed in Xinyang at the moment, and its commander should be He Zhengdao.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that the little devil attaches great importance to the material center of Runan. Not to mention the dispatch of elite troops, there are also multiple checkposts set up on the periphery, so that even the Japanese troops passing through need to go through multiple procedures to enter and exit.

The intention of formulating these procedures was naturally to guard against the infiltration of this small army under He Zhengdao. But for the precautions in the air, in He Zhengdao's opinion, it should not be too strict. After all, the Japanese army is still very confident!

After listening to He Zhengdao's plan, Ye Jianying also smiled and said: "If this bombing goes well, if the little devil's material supply center in Runan is really blown up, the two divisions of the little devil in Zhumadian will also fall into a shortage of materials."

Even if the little devil can continue to provide them with air supplies, but if they want to raise such a batch of supplies and ammunition in a short time, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the little devil. But we don't know much about the location of the little devil's material warehouse! ”

'That's fine!' You forgot that the blue wolf is still in Xinyang! If you want to come to this team, you should have choked enough recently. It's really wronged to let him be an instructor, it's time for him to come out and do some activities. ’

Before leaving Xinyang, He Zhengdao left Zhu Fei, codenamed 'Blue Wolf', in Dabie Mountain to train the first mountain combat unit of the Eighth Route Army. And Song Yuping, who was the Southern Saber at that time, was also trained there.

Now He Zhengdao has sent these old sabers to Zhumadian to carry out infiltration and reconnaissance missions, and I believe that these old sabers who have been holding back for so long will definitely let the little devils know how dangerous it is for an elite special operations force to enter their defense area.

"Chief of Staff, send a copy of our battle plan to Mr. Peng, and at the same time order Zhu Fei to hand over the training work to others. If Song Yuping's kid is interested, let him cooperate in the battle, and the old comrades-in-arms will go to the battlefield side by side, he will like it!

In addition, we will send a copy of our battle plan to Xiao Fa, the army elder of the new 67th Army. Let them be ready to fight back, and once our bombing plan is successful, let them start a counterattack and force the Japanese to retreat from the direction of Zhumadian.

At the same time, I would like to suggest to Mr. Peng that we should prepare a batch of weapons and ammunition for the new 67th Army that we sent over during this time. If nothing else, after the little devil evacuates Henan, I'm worried that there will be friction over there.

If we don't prepare more weapons and ammunition, I am worried that there will be problems on the side of the new 67th Army at that time. I also sent these words to Mr. Peng, and I think he will understand my worries. After all, Hu Zongnan is not a good fork! ’

Naturally, there is no problem with the national army. If he had made preparations in this regard earlier, He Zhengdao believed that Hu Zongnan would have found that the new 67th Army was not easy to provoke after the trial, and he would naturally give up provocation!

After all, at this time, even if the national * army wanted to suppress the Eighth Route Army, it would not dare to go too far. Most importantly, they also have to worry about the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, but they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the corresponding consequences.

At least in He Zhengdao's view, forbearance is no longer the Eighth Route Army's response to the national * army. If he didn't shoot the first shot, He Zhengdao felt that he could still comply. But if Hu Zongnan dares to send troops to provoke, then he must be decisively beaten back.

As He Zhengdao's encrypted telegram was sent back to Henan, Mr. Peng, who had read the battle plan, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! This kid is really good, he thought of such a combat plan so quickly, air raid! How I didn't expect that! ”

It seems like a simple battle plan, but it is easy to be overlooked. After all, even in the minds of commanders like Mr. Peng, the Air Force is more of a training unit, and it cannot be used as a combat unit.

But only He Zhengdao knows that with the return of the aero engine purchased from the Soviet Union in the early stage, the first fighter is now about to be finalized and produced in the underground arsenal in Yulin. After production, it will be ready for test flights.

Once the test flight of this fighter is successful, He Zhengdao believes that the air force units of the Eighth Route Army will be able to fly their own planes to fight against the Japanese fighters. And the opponent of this aircraft is also the upcoming Zero fighter of the Japanese army.

With He Zhengdao's requirements for the aircraft design team, that is, 'production generation, trial production generation, pre-research generation, exploration generation'. And the concept of this research is naturally borrowed by He Zhengdao from the research and development of Huaxia Airlines in later generations.

In addition, He Zhengdao also asked the engine research and development department of the arsenal to speed up the research and development of aero engines. At least in the short term, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the performance and technology of the aircraft engines provided by the Soviet Union.

In this way, if the Eighth Route Army wants to expand its air force in the future, it will also be able to have enough engine supply. At least He Zhengdao does not hope that in the future, Huaxia will still be limited by foreign countries in the design and development of engines.

As Mr. Peng quickly agreed to He Zhengdao's battle plan, Zhu Fei, who was training troops in the Dabie Mountain area, looked at the telegram sent and said with a smile: "Great, I just said that the commander will not forget me, and we can finally go out of the mountain!" ”

Looking at Zhu Fei, who was full of excitement, other saber special combat team members also surrounded him and said, "The commander has come to order?" ”

For these saber special combat members, most of whom were wounded and left behind in the Dabie Mountains, staying in the mountains as instructors was not their favorite job. Going out to fight is what they are most willing to do.

At the moment, fierce fighting was raging outside, but they stayed in the mountains to train their troops. Such a thing is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing for these militant saber special combat soldiers.

Now that He Zhengdao's order came, they were naturally very excited and happy. Even Song Yuping, who planned to leave in the near future, was naturally extremely happy to see that he could fight side by side with Zhu Fei and them. After all, there aren't many opportunities like this! (To be continued.) )
