Chapter 144: The Bombing of Yan'an

-- Modern

After Jiang Cheng returned to modern times, he found that he had been gone for half a month this time, Jiang Cheng looked at home, found that there was no one, and guessed that Yu Na had gone to work, so he called Chen Ce to pay the money for the last blizzard and then go to the company.

When Sun Ning saw Jiang Cheng, he pointed to the finance room and said, "Ask Nana about the money, the gold has been sold in full, and it should all be in the account now." ”

Jiang Cheng asked in surprise, "Why did you sell it so quickly this time?" ”

Sun Ning pointed outside and said, "This is China's economic center, so let's collect money with peace of mind." ”

In fact, these gold have been handed over to the treasury by Sun Ning, so much gold can make Zhou Dachuan happy, you must know that China's gold reserves have always been low, even less than two percentage points of foreign exchange reserves, only ranked sixth in the world, which is extremely inconsistent with China's economic status, but there is so much gold, you want to have a lot of it, now there is an opportunity to buy gold at a low price, Zhou Dachuan will certainly not let go.

Jiang Cheng saw that there was really a lot of money in the account, nodded and said, "Sun Ning, tell all the employees that I will invite everyone to a big meal, and you can withdraw the money from Nana." ”

Yu Na saw Jiang Cheng's appearance as a good and wealthy boy, shook her head with a smile, and didn't say anything.

Jiang Cheng was going to Yan'an next, and naturally he was bringing a lot of food and books, but what Jiang Cheng didn't know was that Yan'an at this time was about to usher in a big crisis.

-- Beiping

Shouichi Terauchi looked at Seishiro Itagaki in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, the Red Party in Yan'an will become our mortal enemy?" Itagaki-kun, you must know that according to our intelligence, the Red Party in Yan'an only has 30,000 troops who lack guns and ammunition, although they are very cunning. But don't dare to face the imperial army head-on, besides, even Chiang's troops can beat them to the ground, let alone the imperial army. ”

Seishiro Itagaki shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, China is too big, and our imperial army will inevitably not be able to fully control all corners of China. I once heard Mao Yongzhi, the leader of the Red Party in Yan'an, once say that there is a theory called the encirclement of the city by the countryside, that is to say, to give the city to the enemy, first seize the rural areas with weak defense forces, and then concentrate the strength of the countryside to attack the cities. ”

Shouichi Terauchi muttered, "The countryside surrounds the city? Is this possible? What modern warfare needs is industry. The countryside has nothing but population and food, and Itagaki-kun, I don't think such a strategy is worthless at all. ”

Itagaki Seishiro knew that it was difficult to get others to agree with his point of view, after all, people who had not suffered from guerrilla warfare would not look down on such tactics, Itagaki Seishiro swept through Shanxi with half of his division, but was hit by the Eighth Route Army one after another, and even burned a brigade.

Seishiro Itagaki continued, "Your Excellency, Commander, please trust my judgment! Yan'an must be wiped off the map. ”

At this time, the war in Shandong was still stalemate on the Yellow River. All the Japanese troops were waiting for the outcome of the negotiations with Chiang, and most of them believed that the war was coming to an end. Jiang was about to surrender, so Terauchi also understood the psychology of Seishiro Itagaki who was so desperate for revenge.

Although Shouichi in the temple did not believe that little Yan'an would make any big waves. But he still said, "Okay, then let's send aviation to bomb Yan'an." ”

Terauchi Shouichi's abacus was very good, he decided that the small Yan'an would not have any anti-aircraft firepower, and the Red Party, which had been fighting with the White Party for many years, would not receive the support of the White Party's air force. Therefore, the use of aviation can be called a foolproof decision.

The aviation of the Japanese army was divided into reconnaissance groups, fighter groups, light bombers, and heavy bombers according to their respective tasks. Although because of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army moved the main force to the south, but in North China, there were still more than 200 aircraft aviation regiments. After getting permission from Terauchi Shouichi, Itagaki Seishiro immediately ordered three light bomber groups, one heavy bomber group, and one fighter group, a large formation of more than 120 aircraft, to fly to Yan'an.

Itagaki Seishiro had always believed in the speed of soldiers, so the bombing was not unexpected, and it took less than four hours from the time he received permission to the time when all the planes took off, which made the Red Party agents in the Japanese army completely unreactive.

More than 120 planes soon flew from various airports to Taiyuan, where they will make final additions and preparations.

-- Mount Wutai

Since Lu Liang divided the troops, Liu Bocheng took the 129th Division to Wutai Mountain and began to open up an anti-Japanese base area, Liu Bocheng was talking to several Taoist monks about joining the army, and a guard hurriedly came in and said, "Report to the division commander, there is news from our news tree." ”

Liu Bocheng said nervously, "What's wrong?" Is it the devil who has gone out? ”

The guard shook his head and said, "There are devil planes, but the message from the message tree seems to indicate that these planes are not coming for us." ”

Liu Bocheng rolled his eyes and said, "We have just arrived at Wutai Mountain, and we have not yet made any major blows to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not notice us so quickly." Immediately ask how many planes there are, and the direction is over there. Be quick! ”

A master clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what is Master Liu worried about?" ”

Liu Bocheng smiled bitterly and said, "Now Shanxi can only be worth bombing Linfen in Yan Xishan, and Zhongtiao Mountain is on the first line, but the attack should be through Shijiazhuang, not through us, I suspect that these planes are going west." ”

When the master heard this, he muttered, "West? That's not - Amitabha, your army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”

At this time, the signal soldier came in and said, "Report, there is news from Dai County, dozens of planes have flown over Dai County and are heading to Taiyuan. ”

Liu Bocheng's eyes lit up and said, "Send a report to Yan'an immediately, I suspect that the devil is going to bomb Yan'an, please deal with it carefully." ”

Leading the attack on Yan'an this time was Hayabusa Kato, the captain of the 2nd Flying Group, who has always been proud of his name and considers himself a natural air force. Looking at the neat formation of planes in front of him, he didn't believe that there was still a force that could threaten him on the land of China.

"Report, all the fighters have been repaired. Ready to take off. A ground attendant saluted him.

Kato Hayabusa took out a red cloth belt, slowly tied it to his head, and turned around and shouted, "Gentlemen, martial arts are prosperous!" ”

The Japanese air forces lined up behind them also responded, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

More than 120 planes took off one after another, and more than half an hour had passed when the formation was formed, and then they slowly flew towards Yan'an.

-- Yan'an

Jiang Cheng looked at Huang Biao, who was like a resentful woman. I couldn't help laughing, "I said, who gave you a big grievance, why is this face?" ”

Huang Biao held his mouth, pulled Jiang Cheng's clothes and said, "Dongjia, you hurry up and find someone to replace me, I'm about to suffocate to death, the battle of Songhu, a big scene of hundreds of thousands of people, if my child asks me what I was doing at that time, I said that I was guarding the warehouse." Where are you putting my face? ”

Jiang Cheng tilted his head as if he didn't know Huang Biao and said, "I said, who taught you this, is it a bit level, okay, I will let someone replace you, wait patiently, I'll go to see the chairman." ”

Jiang Cheng was taken by the guard Xiao Wang to a building complex not far from Phoenix Mountain, but saw Chairman Mao waiting for him.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran up and said, "Chairman." I'm coming. Sorry, the Nanjing incident still did not stop. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "I already know about Nanjing." This is the general trend, we can only do our best, the devils will pay their price. Come, this is a newly built senior technician college, but there are no teachers. ”

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Then how should I study?" ”

At this time, the class bell rang. Chairman Mao said, "Let's go, you can go and see." ”

Jiang Cheng followed in curiously, but saw that it was a large trapezoidal teacher, and a guard kept reading the confidentiality regulations. In a few moments, the curtains of the various windows were drawn. Jiang Cheng saw a large white cloth appear in front of him. It immediately became clear what was going on.

"Chairman, is this?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to the back and have a look, this is the first day, and I don't feel comfortable coming to see." ”

But I saw that this classroom was divided into two rooms, the one inside should be the playing room, two soldiers with Mauser pistols, loaded guns and live ammunition guarded there, and saw Chairman Mao did not salute, but said, "Please show your ID." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Chairman Mao curiously, Chairman Mao took out a notebook and said, "By the way, you don't have this yet, let Xiao Wang take you to do one later, only this is qualified to enter." ”

Jiang Cheng saw that the book had the anti-counterfeiting laser stickers he brought from later generations, and the words "Long live the Chinese nation" could be seen from the side.

Jiang Cheng followed Chairman Mao into the room, but saw that there were two guards inside, but they were holding MP-18s, and one of the soldiers was even bombed all over his body, and Jiang Cheng was frightened when he saw it.

A young girl dressed in the clothes of the Eighth Route Army was looking at the projector seriously, as if the projector would collapse if she took a little off her attention.

Chairman Mao asked, "How is it, have you encountered any problems with the use of this machine?" ”

The girl said solemnly, "Report to the chairman, there is no problem, everything is working normally." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and Jiang Cheng withdrew, Chairman Mao said softly, "See, the secrecy level of the things you brought is even better than mine, even higher." As soon as someone wanted to do anything to the machine, the warrior would immediately pull off the Death Bomb and destroy the machine. ”

In fact, the projector and the hard disk inside are for scientists of this era, and they may not be able to understand anything, but after all, there are too many things that are out of the times, and it is normal to see Chairman Mao so nervous.

Chairman Mao pointed to the nearly 100 people in front of him, all of whom were engrossed in watching everything demonstrated on the white cloth, which was a steel smelting teaching video, and remembered something from time to time.

At this time, Chairman Mao and Jiang Cheng heard a commotion outside the door.

Chairman Mao walked out the door and asked, "What's the matter?" Don't know what this place is? What's the fuss? ”

saw a soldier in a confidential room, and when the soldier saw Chairman Mao, he hurriedly said, "Chairman, the front line is urgent." ”

Chairman Mao took it and read it quickly, his brows furrowed tightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Immediately evacuate the people, and order all factories and schools in other areas to carry out emergency evacuations." In addition, there was no order from the central authorities that the air defense units were not allowed to shoot. ”

Jiang Cheng heard the air defense force and said worriedly, "Chairman, what's wrong?" Is there a devil's plane coming? ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "It should be there soon, we will also go to the cave to hide, most of our anti-aircraft firepower is put in various factories, and Yan'an's air defense force is a little weak." ”

Jiang Cheng asked, "How much air defense do we have now, and how many planes do we have?" ”

Chairman Mao said as he walked, "In the whole of Yan'an, there are five anti-aircraft machine guns and not a single anti-aircraft gun. ”

Jiang Cheng was surprised to hear this number and asked, "Chairman, what about those guns?" ”

Chairman Mao replied, "It's all in Yanchang and other industrial zones." The devil is not good at coming this time, Liu Bocheng's intelligence said that there are hundreds of planes, and I think it's about the same, this is the devil who is here to take revenge. ”

Kato Hayabusa had already flown over the Yellow River with the plane at this time, and was flying towards Yan'an at a fast pace, Kato Hayabusa's eyes have always been well-known for their sharpness in the Japanese air force, he soon saw the symbolic tower, and excitedly shouted, "We have arrived!" ”

But Kato Hayabusa was soon disappointed, compared with the cities of Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding and other cities he had attacked, Yan'an at this time was simply small and negligible, with only two horizontal and vertical streets and a few alleys, so that he could not mention the nature of the attack.

Kato Hayabusa looked at the fleeing crowd below, because the Japanese army came too quickly, and the people had not been evacuated at this time, Kato Hayabusa was the first to take the lead in strafing and dropping bombs at the crowd on the street. I only saw countless black bombs falling from the sky. For a while, people panicked, houses collapsed, and after bursts of explosions, there were pieces of rubble.

Chairman Mao in the distance listened to the sound of the explosion and understood that this was the Japanese army bombing, listening to the sound of the bombing, Chairman Mao said in surprise, "There are a lot of them, this devil really looks up to us." ”

At this moment, the entire cave shook violently, and countless dust fell.

"What's going on?" Chairman Mao looked outside and asked.

The sentry outside hurriedly replied, "Chairman, the devil is bombing Phoenix Mountain!" That's a lot of planes. ”

Phoenix Mountain? Chairman Mao and Jiang Cheng glanced at each other and looked at each other in surprise. It was the real seat of the Central Committee, where countless party and government organs were located. Even the residence of Chairman Mao and others is there.

The Japanese planes raged for more than an hour, and Kato Hayabusa saw that there was no target to attack, so he left with his troops satisfied, and what he didn't know along the way was that the anti-aircraft machine guns in the countless industrial areas covering up were staring at him viciously, and no one fired at him because of the order not to expose the industrial area.

As soon as Kato got off the plane, he threw his helmet at the ground soldier next to him, and proudly said to the correspondent who had been waiting here, "Send a report, just say that Yan'an has disappeared from the map." ”

Chairman Mao looked at Yan'an City, which had no intact buildings, and kept smoking heavily, and Jiang Cheng was very worried.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Chairman." ”

Chairman Mao shook his head and said that he didn't need to worry, only to see him throw the cigarette butt into the ground and say, "Air Force, we must have the people's own Air Force to protect this sky, we can't let the people who have been holding their trouser pockets be bombed in vain." ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Chairman, the plane is okay, but we are very short of pilots and ground crews, even the ground staff at the airport are still supported by the Northeast Army at that time." ”

Chairman Mao patted the broken wall and said, "Then go to training immediately, our people can't wait." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will arrange it immediately." ”

Chairman Mao looked at Phoenix Mountain and said, "Let's go, let's go and see what the casualties are." (To be continued......)
