1629 Coordinated operations between land and air

Tetsuro Tange asked, "General, the flying machine of Lin Yuan's troops has been dispatched, is it?" ”

Shigeo Hasegawa nodded and said, "That's right, their flying machines did sortie, so now is the time for your anti-aircraft artillery unit to strike." ”

Tetsuro Tange frowned and asked, "General, I don't know if the aircraft dispatched by Lin Yuan's troops will turn or not?" According to the analysis of domestic experts, the flying machine that does not turn flies very high and has definitely exceeded the range of our anti-aircraft guns. ”

Hasegawa Shigeo said with a smile: "The rotating aircraft dispatched by Lin Yuan's troops, this kind of flying machine flies relatively low, so I let you go, you immediately go to rendezvous with Takeuchi Shinji to protect their troops from the attack of Lin Yuan's troops' aircraft." ”

Tetsuro Tange replied loudly, "My subordinates understand! So he walked out of the city.

In the following two days, the Japanese army cautiously marched towards Fenggangli, they were afraid of being attacked by the aircraft of Lin Yuan's troops, so they did not dare to take the main road, they all took the small road, and finally approached Fenggangli on March 22.

Takeuchi Shinji looked at the map in front of him, and it told him that they had come to a place called Jinshui Village, and Takeuchi Shinji called a staff officer and asked, "How far is this place from Fenggangli now?" ”

The staff officer replied: "There are still about eighty kilometers left." ”

Shinji Takeuchi said: "Eighty kilometers? Can't go to the front anymore, it's easy to be attacked by Lin Yuan's troops if you get closer, and Jinshui Village is surrounded by mountains, although it is not high, but it is enough to defend, order the troops, camp in this area, and prepare to use this place as a base to attack Fenggangli, where Lin Yuan's troops are located. ”

The staff officer then went to convey the order, and the 25th Wing of the Japanese Army settled down in Jinshui Village, and this information quickly reached Shen Xin, who immediately reported to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, the 25th Wing of the Japanese Army has set up camp in Jinshui Village, which is about 80 kilometers away from Fenggangli. ”

Lin Yuan said: "When did this happen? ”

Shen Xin said: "At about six o'clock this morning, it is now half past seven, and the Japanese army should still be building a camp. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you have a plan to outflank you?" ”

Shen Xin said: "Of course there is! Our plan was to send an air cavalry division to suddenly attack the rear of the Japanese army, cut off the connection between the 25th Wing and other Japanese units, and then we launched a fierce attack on the 25th Wing of the Japanese Army from the front. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, then you can implement the plan according to the plan, and give you a suggestion, the implementation of this plan must be fast, because the Japanese army is not firmly established now." ”

Shen Xin said: "Lin Shuai, don't worry, we have all thought about it. After Shen Xin finished speaking, he put down the phone, and then called the three brigade commanders of the first division and Wang Rui, the commander of the air cavalry division, and said: "The Japanese army has begun to camp in Jinshui Village, and our plan to destroy the enemy can be implemented, but we can't let the air cavalry division enter the enemy behind the enemy now, the Japanese army at this time has not been hit at all, and the combat effectiveness is strong, if the air cavalry division enters the enemy line now, it is to hit the stone with a stone, this is not good, we must first beat the Japanese army into an egg, and then use a stone to hit the egg!" ”

Shen Xin said this, looked at the three brigade commanders, and then said, "The three brigade commanders are from the city!" ”

Congcheng hurriedly replied, "Yes! ”

Shen Xin said: "Now I order your brigade, as the first attack echelon, to attack the Japanese army, the purpose: to annihilate as much of the Japanese army's vitality. ”

Congcheng replied, "Yes, I will set out." ”

Shen Xin looked at Wang Rui again and said, "Senior Commander Wang, are you sending our armed dragonflies out to fight with our ground forces in a coordinated operation between land and air?" ”

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, you painted a red five-pointed star on the top of the tank, right?" ”

Shen Xin said: "Don't worry, each of our tanks is painted with a red five-pointed star. ”

Wang Rui said: "That's good, if there is no red five-pointed star as a symbol to distinguish friend from foe, I am worried that our pilots will treat your tanks as Japanese soldiers." ”

Shen Xin smiled: "Don't worry, we have all got the identification marks of friend and foe!" ”

Wang Rui said: "Okay, we can set off now, before we go, I want to talk about the tactics of this land-air coordinated operation." Although the 'land' is in front of the 'air,' it is the 'air' that dominates, and our air force will play the role of reconnaissance; after all, our bomb load is not much, and hitting the ground from the sky will be limited by the terrain, so it is the 'land' that will decide the outcome of the battle in the end. ”

"In the operation, we will fly five kilometers in front of the army cluster to search for the Japanese army, and the Japanese army must also know that we will attack while their foothold is not stable, so they will ambush in favorable terrain, our task is to find such Japanese troops, and then we will use the communicator to tell the ground forces the location of the discovered Japanese troops, and what actions to take in the future will be decided by your ground forces."

Shen Xin said: "Yes, that's right, that's it!" Cong Cheng also nodded, and the troops set off, the first to set off was the ZSJ-1B helicopter unit, they dispatched ten helicopters, forming five twin aircraft formations, each formation was twenty kilometers apart, and searched the range of eighty kilometers wide.

Half an hour after the helicopter formation departed, three regiments of the 3rd Brigade also left the camp, and instead of taking the path, they drove along the road in the direction of Jinshui Village.

Of the five helicopter teams, Wang Rui and He Di were in the middle, that is, flying right along the road, searching both sides of the road. In order to be able to see the target as clearly as possible, Wang Rui flew the helicopter very slowly, and He Di used the telescope to look at the ground, which was a patch of farmland, and between the farmland was a dense forest.

He Di looked at it and said: "The Japanese army will definitely stop our troops on the way, where do you say the Japanese army will put their troops?" ”

Wang Rui said with a smile: "I am not the commander of the Japanese army, how can I know the way, but I think that the Japanese army will definitely not put the tanks in broad daylight, they will definitely hide in the favorable terrain." ”

He Di pointed to the east side of the highway with his hand and said: "Look at there is a continuous high ground over there, only about ten kilometers away from the road, I think the Japanese army will put the ambush soldiers there, let's fly over and have a look." ”

Wang Rui nodded, and then operated the periodic pitch lever to deflect the rotor at an angle, and the helicopter immediately flew to the east of the high ground, Wang Rui asked while adjusting the plane: "What is the name of that high ground?" ”

He Di flipped through the aerial atlas and said: "That piece of high ground is called Huangshi Ridge, and on our military map, that area is called the '106' area. ”

At this time, the helicopter gradually approached Area 106, He Di took the binoculars and looked at the bottom, and suddenly said: "Don't say it, you guessed it accurately, there is really a possibility that there are Japanese troops hidden here!" ”

Wang Rui looked sideways and looked down, there was no one, and he couldn't help asking, "You said there are Japanese troops inside?" How did you find out? ”

He Di said: "I saw a lot of stripes on the ground, and I'm sure they were pressed out of the vehicle!" ”
