Chapter 676: Forming an Aeronautical Division (Ask for Subscription!) ）

In the war room, an urgent telegram has just been received from the three eastern provinces, and the three chiefs of the Central Office who are responsible for directing the operation, Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, Zuo Quan, chief of staff, and Su Yu, commander of the mechanized corps. This book is from. At the first time, the six people gathered in the war room, in front of the huge battle map of the three eastern provinces, and began to think about specific countermeasures.

"Commander Su. I really didn't expect that your sentence would become a reality in less than two days after you finished speaking. Fifteen main divisions, 300,000 elite Kwantung Army troops, and even the specific number of recruits of the little devil Kwantung Army, you have calculated accurately, it is really a god. After reading the telegram he had just received in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion to Commander Su Yu and Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, who had the title of 'God of War' in front of him.

In the face of Liu Hua's emotion, in the face of the appreciative eyes of the chairman and others. At this moment, because of Liu Hua's appreciation, what Su Yu, who had just risen, could do was to smile and remain silent. Then, a pair of eyes stared at the map in front of him, thinking about the possible countermeasures of the Northeast Field Army at present.

Commander Su Yu did not speak, and the chief of staff of Zuoquan, who was standing beside Su Yu, spoke after reading the telegram.

"Boss, chiefs. Although the actions of the little devil Kwantung Army against us can be called menacing. Bombers were dispatched to carry out continuous bombing of our base areas, slowing down the progress of our army's development. At the same time, an omenous order was issued to reorganize the 300,000 Kwantung Army and send troops to encircle and suppress our base areas at any time. However, hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters in our base areas and the Northeast Field Army have carried out a series of counterattacks under the mobilization of Political Commissar Luo. ”

"Such a counterattack, even if it can't directly hit the soft underbelly of the little devils, crush the Japanese army's determination to encircle and suppress our base area this time. However, to a certain extent, it can alleviate the pressure faced by my base area. At the same time, the time for the Japanese army to sign recruits and form troops was delayed. Let it be unable to launch a new round of encirclement and suppression operations against our base areas in a short period of time. ”

Seeing the faces of several leaders around him, they all showed expressions of appreciation. Zuo Quan's words changed and he continued to speak.

However, this method of warfare dragged on for a while, but it could not be delayed for a lifetime, especially in the face of the repeated bombing by Japanese bombers. In North China, because the Party Central Committee, with the assistance of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East, had just formed an aviation division, so that the combat planes of the Japanese army in North China did not dare to be arrogant above our heads. In the northeast region, our Northeast Field Army not only does not have any air power. Even the limited air defense force of the army is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the huge base areas, and it cannot play a big role. In the face of the counterattack of the air defense forces of our Northeast Field Army, the Japanese bomber group will inevitably change its bombing targets after suffering two losses. At that time, in the face of the aimless bombing of the Japanese army, we will have no choice. ”

"The chief of staff has analyzed it too well..."As soon as Zuo Quan's words fell, Liu Hua couldn't help but praise him.

"Chief of Staff, what you said just now is exactly what I thought. To sum up, there is only one sentence, that is, in the shortest possible time, developing the air power of our Northeast Field Army and using our own air power to contain the air force of the Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces is the concrete solution to deal with the Japanese bombing. ”

As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, the chairman immediately spoke:

"What you said is very correct, but if you want to form an air force comparable to the Kwantung Army of the three eastern provinces in a short period of time, it is almost impossible for the current strength of our Northeast Field Army and for my current strength. Therefore, Comrade Liu Hua and Comrade Zuo Quan, here I will first give the two of you a precautionary shot. The central authorities will not take care of the development of the air power of the Northeast Field Army, and they will not be able to provide you with any support. If the Northeast Field Army wants to develop a powerful air force, it can only rely on its own strength. ”

Looking at the helpless chairman in front of him, Liu Hua hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, the chairman, we know the difficulties of the central government." However, in order to avoid the situation when the time comes, there are airplanes, but there are no good pilots to fly this situation. I asked the aviation division directly under the central government to be able to support a group of pilots of our Northeast Field Army. Here, I, Liu Hua, assure the leaders that as long as there are enough pilots, I will definitely form the first aviation division in the Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time. ”,

"Huh? Comrade Liu Hua, are you so confident? If I'm right, at this moment, in your mind, there is already a concrete solution. Quick, don't sell it to a few of us old guys, and take out all the things in your heart for me. Looking at Liu Hua with a confident face in front of him, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De's face immediately showed a mysterious smile, and he hurriedly said to Liu Hua beside him.

"Commander-in-Chief, I can't hide anything from your old man... Through the Japanese bomber's air raid on our base area, I did have the idea of forming our own air force. Because, at any time, only aviation is the most effective way to deal with the bombers of the Kwantung Army. ”

Seeing the eyes of the three chiefs, along with the chief of staff of Zuo Quan and Commander Su Yu, all converged on himself. Liu Hua pointed to the battle map in front of him and explained.

"At present, with the capabilities of our Northeast Field Army, it is almost impossible to develop the armed forces of an aviation division in the shortest possible time, relying on its own strength. As far as we are concerned, the pilots have the support of the central authorities, and in addition to the special combat personnel of the special combat division who have experience in flying, it is also a mistake to set up two aviation divisions in time. As for the airfield and logistics base, when our Northeast Field Army occupied Mukden, it successfully received a complete Mukden airfield and stopped several hundred combat planes, and there was absolutely no problem. However, the only problem in front of us now is the aircraft, and as long as the problem of the aircraft is solved, our aviation division can be formed immediately. And at the first time, he was put into the battle against the Japanese army. ”

Regarding Liu Hua's answer, after a short period of thought, several people nodded thoughtfully. Seeing Liu Hua in front of him, his face slowly showed a confident look, and the chairman asked bluntly.

"Comrade Liu Hua, according to the current production capacity of the Fengtian Arsenal, even if the raw materials are sufficient, it is simply impossible to produce the equipment of an aviation division without a year or two. And your goal, in a short time, to assemble a force of at least one aviation division. An aviation division, almost a hundred combat aircraft of all kinds, where are you going to come from. ”

"Report to the chairman, the whole of China, except for us, has an aviation division, nearly a hundred combat aircraft, plus a small number of combat aircraft in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. The rest of the planes are basically in the hands of the little devils. The equipment of an aviation division, of course, is taken from the hands of little devils. Liu Hua replied confidently.

As he spoke, Liu Hua's eyes quickly focused on the location of Tianjin on the map. And a few people who stood beside Liu Hua and felt the change in Liu Hua's eyes. At the first time, following Liu Hua's fingers, he gathered his eyes on the location of Tianjin Airport on the map.

"President, Chiefs. As the largest airfield of the Japanese North China Front, it can be said that as most of the area of North China fell into the hands of our Eighth Route Army, more than two-thirds of the Japanese North China Front, totaling more than 200 combat planes of various types, were all parked at Tianjin Airport and were responsible for the airspace security in the Pingjin area. ”

"When the time comes, as long as our special operations division can occupy the Pingjin airfield and hold on for more than an hour. Then, all the pilots who accompanied the military operations could fly the planes at the airport into the sky and fly back to the Mukden airfield in the shortest possible time. At that time, these planes flying back to Fengtian Airport will become the equipment of our Northeast Field Army to form the first aviation division. ”

As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De's eyes showed a trace of excitement. And at the first time, he showed his attitude towards Liu Hua in front of him.

"Tianjin Airport, two hundred combat aircraft. Comrade Liu Hua, your appetite is not small. However, I, Zhu De, support you in fighting this battle. Because, if you fight this battle well, you can not only immediately form your own aviation unit, but also confront the arrogant aviation units of the Kwantung Army and defeat their arrogance. At the same time, the Japanese North China Front will also completely lose all its air superiority in North China because of the fall of Tianjin Airport. Say, Comrade Liu Hua, if you need any help from my troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China, just ask, I will definitely meet your requirements as much as possible. ”

As soon as the commander-in-chief finished speaking, the chairman, after a short period of thought, spoke up. ,

"Comrade Liu Hua, the attitude of the commander-in-chief is my attitude and the attitude of the Party Central Committee. Now that you, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, have made a decision, I and the Party Central Committee absolutely and unconditionally support you. In addition, for this action. Something needs to be done by the center, you're welcome, just ask. ”

"Thank you, Chairman, thank you, Commander-in-Chief..." With the support of the three leaders, the confident smile on Liu Hua's face became even stronger.

"Chairman, the commander-in-chief, with the combat strength of the special operations division, occupied the airfield and held it for an hour, there is absolutely no problem. However, in order to get more than a hundred planes into the sky in a short time, there is only one case that can be done. That is, before the troops occupied the Pingjin airfield, the Japanese logistics personnel had filled up all combat aircraft with fuel, and all aircraft were kept in the best take-off condition. ”

"However, as far as I know, under normal circumstances, out of the more than 200 combat aircraft at Tianjin Airport, there is only one squadron of 12 combat aircraft, which is kept in the best take-off condition and ready to meet the foreign enemy that may appear at any time. Therefore, before we enter and occupy Tianjin Airport, we must find a way to get the little devil airport logistics staff to help us fill up all the planes with fuel and ammunition. Relying on his own memory, Liu Hua explained to several people in front of him.

"Comrade Liu Hua, don't be polite, what do you need the Central Committee to do, just speak..."Seeing Liu Hua with a hesitant look on his face in front of him, the chairman asked directly.

"Yes, Chairman. According to the Japanese army's combat regulations, only in wartime will all their combat planes enter the combat state, that is, all of them will be in the best flight condition within 24 hours a day. Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose I just mentioned, let the Japanese logistics personnel fill up all the combat aircraft. There was only one purpose, and that was to launch a battle to mobilize the entire North China Front of the Japanese army. At this moment, Liu Hua no longer had any hesitation, and directly said what he thought in his heart.

"Launch a large-scale battle and mobilize the entire Japanese North China Front..." As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan opened his mouth and couldn't help but exclaim.

At the same time, the chairman and the others standing in front of Liu Hua also showed extremely shocked looks on their faces.

Of course, less than a minute later, the look of shock on the chairman's face was enveloped in seriousness and reason. After a short period of contemplation, he spoke to the commander-in-chief beside him.

"Boss, think about it. In the recent period, there have been any major battles among the troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China. Of course, don't forget about those small-scale battles..."

"Chairman, let me think about it..."In the face of the chairman's questioning, the commander-in-chief immediately looked at the map in front of him and fell into deep thought.

A pair of eyes, on the map in front of him, after searching for a full five minutes, the commander-in-chief pointed to the location of Shijiazhuang on the map, and then spoke.

"Chairman, you see, at present, the entire Shanxi Province has fallen into the hands of our army. Most of Hebei to the north of Shanxi is also in the hands of our army. However, Shijiazhuang, which was trapped by about one division of the North China Front, was like a nail, nailed to our heart, so that we never dared to vigorously develop the Hebei region and expand the influence of our army in the Hebei area, especially around Shijiazhuang..."

"Shijiazhuang....I think it's okay, there is only one division of the Japanese army defending troops in the whole Shijiazhuang. With the current combat effectiveness and equipment of our Eighth Route Army, with only one division of the 129th Division, it is enough to take the whole of Shijiazhuang and annihilate all the defending units of Shijiazhuang within three days..."

"Chairman, you mean, agreed," the Commander-in-Chief asked.

"Agreed, let's kill two birds with one stone for the little devil North China Front. On the one hand, the 129th Division was dispatched to take Shijiazhuang. On the other hand, it assisted the special operations division to take the Mukden airfield, intercept all the combat planes in the airfield, and form the first aviation unit of our Northeast Field Army. The chairman replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, chairman, I will issue the latest combat order in the name of this: the 129th Division, under the command of Division Commander Liu Bocheng, will begin tomorrow night and assemble in the Shijiazhuang area to prepare for an engineering battle. As for the specific time of the attack, Comrade Liu Bocheng will make his own decision. In addition, Comrade Liu Hua commanded the special operations division directly under the command of the Northeast Field Army, which chose its own attack time and raided the Tianjin airfield...."The commander-in-chief ordered with extraordinary determination. "Yes, commander-in-chief..."Liu Hua replied affirmatively without any hesitation.

"Comrade Liu Hua, I will hand over the task of forming an aviation force directly under the Northeast Field Army to you. Here, I will only give you one sentence, how many planes you can snatch from the hands of small devils, how large will you form an aviation unit. At the same time, on behalf of Comrade Liu Yalou, commander of the aviation division directly under the CPC Central Committee, I would like to give you a statement to support the development of the aviation units of the Northeast Field Army. At that time, I will transfer an aviation regiment with a total of forty pilots to you. Facing Liu Hua, who looked confident in front of him, the chairman finally spoke.

"Thank you for your support. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, I, Liu Hua, am here to assure you. We must use the shortest possible time to form a powerful aviation unit in the Northeast Field Army, defeat the arrogance of the Kwantung Army Aviation Unit, and complete the task of counterattacking the three eastern provinces at an early date...."With the chairman's support for himself, Liu Hua, who has become a national-level leader and has a heavy army in his hands, no longer has any questions, and replied very confidently.

"Well, well said. Comrade Liu Hua, a few of us old fellows, also hope to see one day sooner that the Northeast Field Army, under your command, will counterattack the entire three eastern provinces and return the three northeastern provinces, which have been under siege for decades, back into the hands of the people..."patting Liu Hua on the shoulder in front of him, the commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face.

"Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will ensure that Liu Hua will complete the task..."

"Okay, Comrade Liu Hua, this matter is settled. According to Comrade Luo Ronghuan's telegram, the current northeastern base areas have fallen into a very critical situation, and it is urgent for you to return to preside over the overall situation. So, we old guys don't say much. When to go back to the Northeast, you just need to say hello to us. As for the battle plan for the raid on the Pingjin Airport, the three of you will discuss and decide on your own, and you will not report it to the Military Commission..." The chairman nodded and said with great satisfaction.

"Yes, Chairman. I plan to discuss a specific battle plan with Chief of Staff Zuo and Commander Su this evening. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off and raid Pingjin Airport...."Liu Hua replied.

"This is your Liu Hua's own business, it's none of our old guys. Well, that's all for today's meeting, and I now adjourn it. In addition, tonight, all of you will come to my house to see off Comrade Liu Hua, Comrade Zuo Quan, and Comrade Su Yu..."

"The chairman invited us for a drink, and of course we went. Enlai, Liu Hua, Zuo Quan, Su Yu, when the time comes, we must report on time..."The commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Chairman, Commander-in-Chief," several men replied in unison.
