Chapter 421: A Sudden Change in the Battle Situation

Qin Wei was caught up by someone on the way to Erhai.

The most famous scenic spots in Yunnan, in addition to Xishuangbanna and Lijiang, are the inland lakes of Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake. Xishuangbanna is far away from the border, and Lijiang will need to sit for a long time even in the future, and you will have to turn around in the mountains in the middle...... Therefore, the Dianchi Lake next to Kunming and the Erhai Lake next to Dali became the destinations of his newlywed honeymoon trip.

Of course, before going to Erhai Lake, he also walked around the ancient city of Dali a few times, and by the way, he also went to Butterfly Spring...... However, at this time, it was nearly October, and nearly half a year had passed since the famous "Butterfly Club", and he had not seen the spectacular scene of thousands of butterflies flying together in the legend. Then, someone from Kunming took the order of the Military Commission and forcibly recalled him back to Kunming.

……

"Chief Qin, let me introduce you first, this is Guan Lin Zheng Guan Yudong, commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army."

At Kunming Airport, as soon as Qin Wei got out of the car, he saw Yu Jishi greeted him with a chubby face and a little pouty in his mouth...... And when he heard Yu Jishi's introduction, he immediately knew the identity of the other party, and immediately stretched out his hand:

"The name of 'Guan Meng' has long been heard. Hello! ”

"Don't dare to be. has been busy with the stationing of various units of the group army, and has not been able to meet with Chief Qin, I hope that Chief Qin will forgive me! ”

Guan Linzheng doesn't look like a fierce general, but he is a fierce general, and his personality is also very proud. However, no matter how arrogant his personality is, he can't be proud in front of Qin Wei. Because regardless of his military exploits and military rank, Qin Wei pressed him more than one. He is from Shaanxi, and he has a straight temperament, but he can't compare, not to mention that Qin Wei is still so polite, he can't help but give face.

"We don't belong to each other. What's the point of not seeing you? It's all troublesome. Qin Wei waved his hand and said to himself, "But Brother Yudong, you came here today, shouldn't you want to send troops to help your old classmate?" ”

"Guangting is now under attack by three divisions of the Japanese, and although there is the Red River to defend, the Japanese army also has a sea advantage. The port of Hai Phong could be lost at any time. Once the coastal defense is lost, the Red River will lose its role in blocking the enemy. "Guan Linzheng is a little uncomfortable with Qin Wei's way of speaking, and he is still troublesome about socializing? Although he sometimes annoys this, but ...... However, he didn't think much about it, Qin Wei's weirdness had already spread all over the place. It's not strange to see it, it's good that it's self-defeating, he is now more concerned about how Qin Wei will arrange his group army...... After the Military Commission learned of the unfavorable news of the Liangguang Battle, it immediately made corresponding adjustments, and one of them was to appoint Qin Wei as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liangguang Battle. Cooperate with Bai Zhenxi and Xu Tingyao, who are now in Guilin, to command the battle together. Originally, there was nothing else, but other than that. Qin Wei was also granted the right to mobilize the troops of various Yunnan provinces to reinforce Liangguang. This is why he can't use his brain. In any case, he was a soldier, and he hid in the rear of Yunnan with more than 200,000 men under his command, watching his old classmate, old friend, and fellow Shaanxi villager Du Yuming fight the Japanese army of three divisions with one army. And when I think about it. He couldn't help but be angry...... Knowing that the Japanese would take advantage of the sea superiority and make a detour to the 35th Group Army, they would raid Guinan, but Bai Zhengxi had to come up with a trick to "plan the plan". As a result, it is now good, and Baekbu Harumi turned around and ran to Vietnam at a critical moment to raid the port of Haiphong...... If it weren't for Du Yuming's Fifth Army, which has been waiting for him these days, maybe he would have been succeeded by that guy. However, after the failure of the surprise attack, Hyakutake Haruyoshi immediately received support from the Japanese navy stationed in Vietnam, and finally successfully landed in Haiphong with the loss of nearly half of the wing, establishing a forward position.

And Hyakutake Harukichi's chaotic attack also stirred up the situation in Vietnam.

The Japanese 35th Division, which was originally confronting Du Yuming's Fifth Army on the south bank of the Red River, launched an attack on the Fifth Army under the leadership of its division commander Harada Kumayoshi. The battle was almost at the beginning, but it was not difficult for the Fifth Army to deal with one division and another wing of the enemy on its own, and Du Yuming's side was on the defensive, and it was still able to cope with it. But the next day, the situation changed again.

Although Terauchi Shouichi was annoyed by Hyakutake Haruyoshi's chaos and disrupted his own operational plan, he had to send the remaining strength of the 18th Division, which was originally intended to attack Guangxi, and the two wings of the 12th Division, to Vietnam, in order to defeat Du Yuming's troops in a short period of time with absolute superiority, and then move north along Vietnam to attack the hinterland of Guangxi.

That is to say, although Du Yuming had the Red River defense line and tried his best to compress the Baiwu Qingji, who had already crossed the river, in a corner of Haiphong Port, he was facing an enemy almost three times his size. According to Chiang Kai-shek's statement to the U.S. military observation team, even if it is defensive, the Chinese army must have three times the strength of the enemy...... Therefore, Du Yuming's troops suffered great losses, although Dai Anlan, Zheng Dongguo, Qiu Qingquan and others fought desperately, the defense line was also precarious, and it was possible to be broken through at almost any time.

"Our Air Force didn't help in the war?"

Listening to the front-line battle situation introduced by Guan Linzheng, Qin Wei couldn't help frowning. Baiwu Qingji came in chaos, and he already knew about going to Vietnam instead of Guangxi, but he really didn't expect that Shouichi Terauchi would be so "cooperative", and he didn't expect that in just one or two days, Du Yuming's situation was already so difficult. You must know that the Fifth Army was stationed in northern Vietnam at his instigation.

"Most of the air forces in various places, especially the fighter units, have been transferred to the Ninth Theater by the General Aviation Command!" Hearing Qin Wei's question, Yu Jishi suddenly said.

"Ninth War Zone?" Qin Wei was stunned again, "Anan Wei is not honest anymore?" ”

"Anan is fine, but ...... A large number of Japanese planes appeared in Changsha, Chongqing, Yichang and other places, and many places were bombed, and even Chongqing could not avoid it. In order to ensure the safety of the airspace in these places, the General Aviation Command had to transfer a large number of fighters! Yu Jishi replied.

"Uncle......" Qin Wei was originally walking slowly towards the plane parked on the runway with the two of them, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped: "Divert the tiger from the mountain?" When will little Japan resort to this kind of scheme? ”

"Yes, use bombers to mobilize our fighters in exchange for air superiority of our own fighters on this side of the battlefield...... They're simply bullying us for having too few planes. Guan Linzheng looked at Qin Wei with some concern. The reason why this Qin Commander was able to become a man of the moment was because of the Air Force. Now the Japanese would rather use this almost life-for-life style to transfer away those "hellcats", and if the bombers and transport planes deployed by the Air Force in the Liangguang area dare to act on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will have to face those remnants of the Zero...... I don't know if the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, who has always been very good at the legend, can break this game.

"Brother Yudong. Your troops can't move. ”

Qin Wei paced in place for a while, and shook his head at Guan Linzheng first.

"Yes!"

Guan Linzheng replied helplessly. He knew that he couldn't move. The reason why he came over is that Qin Wei is one of the commanders of the Liangguang Battle appointed by the Military Commission, and he also has the power to mobilize Yunnan troops to participate in the war, and his group army is now stationed in Yunnan, of course he has to show his face; Second, he really wants to lead his troops into battle, although there is little hope, but can't he try? As for the third, that is after he led his troops to Yunnan. I haven't had the time to meet Qin Wei in person, so I want to take this opportunity to make up for it, so as not to make Qin Wei "worry" about him. Although he is not afraid of the other party asking for trouble, why should he provoke a person who is not easy to mess with for no reason? He Yingqin, who single-handedly promoted him, had to let Qin Wei score three points.

"How many troops does the airborne division still have in Kunming?" Qin Wei asked Yu Jishi again.

"There are only two regiments and one battalion." Yu Jishi replied expressionlessly, but there was a hint of resentment in his words. It didn't make him angry. The airborne division originally consisted of four regiments. According to Qin Wei's intentions, this army will also be expanded. And the order for the expansion has already come down from the Military Commission. But he never expected it. Qin Wei actually objected to letting him, the commander of the airborne division, be in charge of the expansion...... The one and a half regiments that were pulled away were to be expanded into a division according to the plan. Thinking about what Qin Wei swore in front of him that he wanted to expand the airborne division to at least three divisions with nine regiments each, he couldn't help but want to pull out his gun and give this guy a shot...... Is he Yu Liangzhen so easy to play? I said it well, but I regretted it at the end! Seeing that the originally expected position of commander of the Airborne Forces seemed to be getting farther and farther away, he looked at Qin Wei more and more unpleasantly. But he also knew the way. Although he has Chiang Kai-shek's big backstage, don't think about what Qin Wei will do for a while, on the contrary, be careful not to offend this guy again.

"Two regiments and one battalion. That's five thousand, which should barely be enough. Qin Wei thought about it for a moment, "You go back and prepare, prepare for the airborne operation!" ”

"Where is the goal?" Yu Jishi asked.

"I'll tell you then." Qin Wei replied casually, but seeing Yu Jishi's uncertain face, he smiled again: "Don't be angry." In fact, I don't know if this action will be carried out...... Those guys have changed Lao Tzu's plan beyond recognition, so that Lao Tzu is at a loss now, who knows what will happen next. ”

"Planning? You mean, we had another plan? Guan Linzheng asked on the side.

"yes." Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that Bai Jiansheng is not greedy enough, and when he saw that Shouyi in the temple put on a posture to lure the enemy deep, he wanted to make a plan and eat the two divisions of the other family in one bite...... Well, now, the teeth are about to collapse. Lao Tzu is not good at dealing with this kind of sudden scene, but when they encounter this kind of trouble, they still have to bring me back...... Real NN's. ”

"The original plan was ......"

"Of course, it's a repetition of the old trick in Kunming." Qin Wei sighed, "But now that there is no fighter escort, I don't know if the road will work." Uncle...... I really want to catch that old bastard of Bai Zhenxi and beat him up. ”

"Airborne landing without fighter escort?" Yu Jishi's face turned a little pale. The Japanese still have more than 100 Zeros in Guangdong. Although Chongqing has also taken these into account, there are only about 20 "hell cats" left in Guangxi. With this little strength, you can fight against an enemy who is five or six times stronger than you...... This reminded him of Qin Wei's record of bullying more and less, beating Anan Weiji's zeros to almost nothing.

"This guy didn't mean it, did he?" Suddenly, Yu Jishi thought of a possibility, and his eyes became more and more vigilant when he looked at Qin Wei. (To be continued......)
