The Japanese army raided Anqing, shattering many people's dreams of peace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Japanese army chose an extremely bad weather to raid Anqing, it was precisely because of this that everyone did not expect it.

The front is lively, the rear is singing and dancing, and for some, war and death never seem to befall them.

The garrison of the dignified Anhui Provincial Government was very empty, and the defending troops were almost at the touch of a button, and by the evening the Japanese vanguard had actually occupied the Anqing Airport in the eastern suburbs of the city.

How was this battle fought?

After hearing the news, Lao Jiang was furious and immediately said that he would severely punish Yang Sen, the commander of the 27th Group Army, who had unfavorable command.

Yang Sen also felt wronged, he really led his troops to block the Sakai detachment of the Japanese Sixth Division from Hefei to the south in Shucheng and Tongcheng, he used all the troops he could use, and the troops could not make ends meet, so that he ignored the defense of Anqing, but when he received the report from Anqing and hurriedly led the troops back, it was already a step too late.

The Japanese army tore away the true face of "pseudo-peace" and announced that it would march west along the Yangtze River of China to fight, aiming directly at Wuhan.

Of course, the Japanese himself did not forget to pour dirty water on the Chinese, saying that this time the westward battle on the Yangtze River was provoked by the Chinese side.

It was an act of retaliation against the assassination of an important imperial general by China's intelligence services in Shanghai a few days ago.

This kind of absurd excuse can also be said, it is simply brazen to the extreme.

If it was really a retaliatory attack launched for this reason, then what was the key attack of the Japanese army in northern Henan before?

And on what reason do they explain that while singing peace songs, they shout and shout to kill?

Now it is even more shameless, because of an assassination, before it is clear who the murderer is, he launched the so-called retaliatory "war", which is too uncalm for the senior generals who formulated the strategy of the Japanese army.

This is simply an excuse, as long as people with brains can understand it at a glance, even if there is no assassination, they are very good at finding other excuses, and it is very high-sounding, this is a war that has been planned for a long time.

Those who were deceived wept bitterly one by one, how could such a civilized country do such a thing?

"Too much deception!"

Bad news, the guards who served Lao Jiang had cleaned the broken glass several times.

This kind of glass is still imported from abroad, and it can't be made in China, so Lao Jiang fell seven or eight angrily in one breath, and he couldn't fall so much in the past year?

"Tang Keqin, where is he going?"

"Commander Tang said that it took at least two to three days for the troops to arrive at the battlefield due to heavy rains in northern Anhui, muddy roads, difficulty in marching, and lack of raincoats and rain gear." Lin Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No, I'll be there within a day, otherwise, I will deal with him by military law!"

"Yes."

Northern Henan Branch.

"Big brother, according to the frequency and number of takeoffs of the Japanese army in the past half month, as well as the reconnaissance of observation points in northern Henan, it has been determined that the Japanese army has built a field airfield in Dezhou, and the planes that have taken off to bomb Xinxiang in the past few days have all taken off from this field airfield."

"Texas, that is a heavily defended place for the Japanese army, and it is not easy to destroy this field airfield."

"Yes, this field airfield is a bit of a long way for us, and we haven't been able to figure out the exact location yet, but this airfield is a great threat to us, and it has affected our progress in repairing the Xinzheng Railway."

"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to get rid of it." Leng Feng nodded, in the past few days, he clearly felt that the density of Japanese planes bombing Xinxiang had increased again.

Moreover, the planes were flying from the north, so he judged that the Japanese must have built an airfield somewhere.

Because there was no air force support, and the anti-aircraft firepower was not very strong, the new army was always passively beaten in the Japanese air raids.

"Big brother, I think so, can you apply our tactics of occupying Yanzhou Airport?"

"You want to take people over, sneak attack the airfield, and then drive the Japanese planes back?" Leng Feng asked in surprise.

"No, there has been a painful lesson, I believe that the Japanese army will be careful to defend the field airfield, so I plan to destroy this field airfield directly."

"First of all, you determine its location, defensive forces, and so on, fight behind enemy lines, without any backup, how to destroy the airfield, and how to retreat safely, have you considered all of this?"

"Infiltrate in disguise and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

"You make a plan according to this idea, take into account the manpower you need and the details of the weapons, discuss it at the combat meeting, and then make a decision." Leng Feng commanded.

"Okay." Cong Hu agreed.

Since the Japanese army has already moved, it shows that history has not changed because a butterfly stirred its little wings.

History is still moving forward according to his specific laws.

"Hey, Lao Luo, you know everything?"

"Hehe, Lao Jiang called me, let me listen to your command, but also have an opinion, don't blindly follow ......"

Luo Yufeng on the other end of the phone smiled very like a chicken thief.

"He's like this, he likes to do this, you just listen to it." Leng Feng smiled, "I'm a new official, are you here to pay a respect?" ”

"What, what big plans do you have?"

"I'm thinking about defending Wuhan, we can't help for the time being, but we can't be idle, the Japanese army's key offensive plan is aimed at me, there is a way to come and not be rude, and my Leng Feng is not a passive person who is beaten."

"Okay, what time, if you say a word, I'll go over immediately."

"Just for the next day or two, wait for my notice." Leng Feng said.

Jinxiang, the military headquarters of the 68th Army.

"Luxi-Northern Henan Joint Command, what does this old Jiang want to do, let me obey the orders of a stinky boy?" After receiving a telegram from the Military Command Department, the army commander Liu Ziliang was unbalanced.

"Junzuo, this Sun Yinting used to be Leng Guoguang's boss, and now he doesn't have to obey the command of others, we have these guns left now, and we still expect people to pull us." Chief of Staff Huang Qiao Songdao.

"Yes, Commander, we can point to someone now."

"Military seat, a staff officer outside who claims to be the New First Army asks to see you."

"It's too fast, isn't it?" Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Commander Liu, Ding Chunqiu, staff officer of the Logistics Department of the New First Army."

"Staff Officer Ding, you Commander Leng is so fast, you have just become the commander of the joint command, and you have sent someone to say, what combat orders have you given to our 68th Army?"

"Combat order, what combat order?" Ding Chunqiu's face was confused.

"You didn't bring a battle order, so what are you going to do?" Liu Ziliang was unhappy in his heart, this Leng Guoguang frame was too big, so he casually sent a staff officer, what does this mean?

"I was ordered to deliver a shipment of weapons and ammunition to your ministry." Ding Chunqiu explained.

"Send us weapons and ammunition?"

"Yes, we were in the process of reorganization in northern Henan, and we collected a batch of weapons and ammunition, some of which we didn't need, so we wanted to increase the combat effectiveness of the brother troops on the front line, so we filmed me to transport some to the departments one by one, I just came from the Third Army." Ding Chunqiu explained.

"Did you really send us weapons and ammunition?"

"Commander Liu, if you don't believe it, you can come out and take a look, because you are the last one, so there are only four trucks left, which can probably equip a regiment."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ziliang and the officers of the 68th Army rushed out.

Four trucks, two loaded with weapons and two with ammunition.

"This is for us, what are your conditions for Chief Leng?" Liu Ziliang still didn't believe that this Leng Hades would be so generous.

"Our Chief Leng said that the anti-Japanese resistance is the business of all our Chinese people, as long as it is beneficial to the anti-Japanese resistance, there are no conditions."

"Go back and report to you Chief Leng, just say that I, Liu Ziliang, will listen to his dispatch." Liu Ziliang is now short of weapons and ammunition.

Retreating all the way from Xuzhou, his troops have been in the rear, fighting the hardest, and the losses are also the greatest, almost all the heavy weapons have been lost, half of the weapons have been lost, and there is a shortage of ammunition.

If there is no addition, I really don't know how to fight this battle.

"Commander Liu, why didn't I understand what you said......"

"You'll understand."

Although it is a eliminated weapon, excluding some earthen guns and earth cannons, most of them can still be used, except for some good quality weapons, which are left, and the rest of the cold front is taken out to give favors.

Although the things were sent out, the debt was owed, whether it was Sun Yinting or Liu Ziliang, these people all felt that Leng Feng pulled them in their most difficult time, and they would naturally be very cooperative in the next deployment.

On the evening of the 26th, the news of the loss of Anqing Airport came.

It is said that Anqing City has become a mess, and the troops defending the city have begun to desert.

In the early morning of the 27th, the Japanese army broke through Anqing City, and a regiment of the defenders was defeated.

When the news came, there was an uproar, and the dignified Anhui Provincial Government was captured overnight, which is simply incredible.

In order to take Anqing City back then, Zeng Guofan spent a lot of effort, why did he easily occupy Anqing City with only a few hundred Japanese soldiers now?

After Anqing was occupied by the Japanese army, Yang Sen's troops were forced to retreat to the direction of Qianshan and Taihu Lake, and then the Sakai detachment of the 6th Division of the Japanese army, which went south, broke through the defense of Yangsen's department and occupied Tongcheng.

After the two Japanese armies on land and water joined forces, they marched together and advanced to the buried hill, the forward position of China's J pair at the foot of the Dabie Mountains.

The Japanese army opened the highway from Hefei to Anqing, so that with Anqing as a springboard, the strategic purpose of attacking Wuhan in the early stage had been achieved.

A large number of Japanese troops took the warship Shuojiang River up and assembled in the Wuhu area, and for a time almost all the plaster flags were seen on the river surface of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The intention of the Japanese army to attack Wuhan on a large scale was already very obvious.

At this time, Leng Feng decided to hold the first high-level military meeting of the Luxi-Northern Henan Joint Command in Xinxiang.

Those who attend the meeting must all be commanders at or above the division level, and Leng Feng requires that all division commanders and army commanders must participate, and must not be absent or ask for leave for any reason.
