"It was my mistake. We don't do our intelligence work well! Knowing the reason, Ouyang Yun took the responsibility on himself.

"No, Commander-in-Chief, it's my fault, we're not well prepared......" Tie Linfei panicked and took the responsibility on himself - just kidding, he was the one who commanded the battle.

Ouyang Yun's heart was even more uncomfortable, he suddenly felt that his nose was sour, the corners of his eyes were astringent, and he quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After adjusting his mood, he said in a hoarse voice: "Take it as a lesson!" Bitter lesson! After a pause, he said loudly: "The air raid operation continues, and I will go to Fuzhou in person later." By the way, what about the losses of the Japanese army? ”

According to Liu Weiqing, deputy commander of the Third Division, the runway and hangar of Ningbo Airport were all destroyed, more than a dozen warplanes were blown up on the tarmac, and seven enemy planes were destroyed in the air battle. If you count the hangars, there are at least thirty or so-"

"The record is still good, how about the other two?"

"Quzhou won a big victory, and our army lost only two fighters. Xiaoshan, our army has only lost one air fortress," his voice became deeper as he said this. Numerically, the air raid on Xiaoshan Airport lost only one fighter, but considering that the fighter was the most advanced air fortress, with a crew of six on one fighter, the loss was much greater than that of the air raid on Quzhou Airport, he continued: "All the Japanese fighters were shot down, and not a single one on the airfield escaped. According to conservative estimates, the number of enemy planes destroyed in Quzhou was about 50, and in Xiaoshan it was about 110. ”

"Lost a fortress in the air!" Ouyang Yun's heart ached, but at this time, he knew that the Dao was not the time to attack, so he calmed down, and he said: "Yes, tell the brothers, when this battle is over, I will award them medals and awards." By the way, in Ningbo, how many people in our army successfully parachuted? ”

"Liu Weiqing reported that there were seventeen people, but the Japanese then intercepted our parachuted officers and soldiers in the air——"

"Fuck!" Hearing this, Ouyang Yun couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help but burst out foul language. Immediately, he realized that there was a problem with his attitude and said: "I'm not scolding you, Ningbo is there, I will find a way to rescue you." You, continue to command the battle! ”

"Yes!"

Ouyang Yun hung up the phone, stood in place, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and startling. After a few minutes, he sensed the abnormality in the staff room, turned his head to look around, and realized that everyone was looking at him nervously.

"Ouyang, air raid? Failed? Ji Xingwen asked, his right hand had already twisted his fingers because of nervousness and anxiety.

Chen Shichang took Ouyang Yun's teacup and handed it to him, and said, "Commander-in-chief, drink saliva!" ”

Ouyang Yun took the teacup, but he didn't drink it, he glanced at everyone again, and said with a solemn expression: "The third division of the air force failed to attack Ningbo, and forty-four fighters of our army went into battle, and only eight of them returned safely. ”

Ji Xingwen and the others had already guessed something from his words and expressions just now, but such a large battle loss was still beyond everyone's expectations. "Ahh Ji Xingwen was stunned; The others looked at Ouyang Yun, and one by one they didn't dare to speak.

Ouyang Yunzhi said that he couldn't lose his morale at this time, he exhaled heavily, and forced a smile: "The little devil has not been able to please either, Quzhou Airport and Xiaoshan Airport have all been blown up, and Ningbo Airport will not be put into use for the time being, and the fighters lost by the little devil there are not under us." Brothers, we still succeeded in this air raid, and the next thing is up to the army brothers. ”

"Good!" Chen Shichang took the lead in applauding, others look at me, I look at you, and the tense mood finally relaxed. In the applause, Ouyang Yun pulled Ji Xingwen aside and said, "Lao Ji, you continue to watch here, I want to go to Fuzhou immediately." ”

In this operation, Ouyang Yun originally wanted to go to the front line to personally command, but because of the insistence of Jiang Guangnai, Li Hansoul and Li Tieshu, he was finally forced to stay. Now that the 3rd Air Force Division has suffered a heavy blow, he has to make a trip.

Ji Xingwen nodded and said, "Ouyang, since this kind of thing has happened, we have to treat it correctly, don't be impulsive!" ”

As an old friend who had been friends since the establishment of the Cadet Army, Ji Xingwen knew Ouyang Yun's temperament very well, and knew that he must have gone to Fuzhou at this time to rescue the captured pilot. He was very protective, and Ji Xingwen was worried that he would do something extraordinary in order to rescue these pilots, so he said this.

Ouyang Yun nodded at him, turned around and walked out.

Ouyang Yun went back to his office first and contacted Shan Renxiong through the confidential line. The Fourth Army is now stationed in Hainan, and this battle will not be fought, and it is said that it is impossible for the commander of the Fourth Army to appear on the front line. However, because Guo Biao went to Chongqing, Wolf Tooth needed someone to sit in the town, so he was called back and took Wolf Tooth's brigade headquarters to camp in Fengling Pass, responsible for coordinating the actions of Wolf Tooth and various troops.

Although the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade is only a brigade-level establishment, it is directly under the command of Ouyang Yun, so the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, like those army-level units, has an independent command department. At this time, the single male was still unaware of the tragedy that occurred over Ningbo Airport, and when he heard Ouyang Yun's accent, he said happily: "Commander-in-chief, the young men with wolf teeth are doing a good job, the team led by Xiao Yi himself is particularly remarkable, they not only successfully blew up the auxiliary power plant of Quzhou Airport, but also killed three Japanese troops to stand up——"

Xiao Yi came out of the gendarme, and for this reason, the single male always took special care of him. The Xiao Yat team performed exceptionally well in this large-scale assault operation, which made the solo hero feel very glorious.

Ouyang Yun didn't wait for him to finish his words before he interrupted very rudely: "Old Dan! ”

"Huh?"

"I'm now issuing new combat orders to all of the Wolf Fang Squads—"

"Yes!" The single male over there immediately changed his tone, and his originally loose standing posture instinctively changed to standing upright.

"The purpose of the mission is to rescue our captured pilots in the air battle of Ningbo, and in the process, to allow them to freely attack any enemy personnel and targets - in the final analysis, the greater the chaos created in the enemy-occupied area before the captured pilots are rescued, the better! To add, their own safety still comes first! ”

"Captured pilots? Commander-in-Chief, our air raid on Ningbo airfield—"

"The loss is huge! According to the information we have now, there are more than 10 pilots captured by our side alone! ”

Solo Male immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Yes!" Commander-in-Chief, how about I personally lead a squad to the dispatch? ”

"No way!"

"Yes!"

After making this call to Shan Renxiong, Ouyang Yun called Liu Kui, together with a few female guards assigned by the Women's Army, and then set off for Fuzhou.

When the three major military airfields of the Xuebing Army began to be busy, the ground operations of the second, third, and fifth armies had also begun. Among them, the Second Army and the Fifth Division of the Second Army set off from Pucheng under the leadership of Li Hansoul and took the left side of Fengling Pass; The Sixth Division, under the leadership of Chief of Staff Deng Longguang, set out from Wuyishan City, took the lead mountain, and stormed Hengfeng, in order to cut off the Yingguang Line Railway, and then divide and surround the enemy at Yingtan and Guangrao.

At the beginning of this year, Guangrao was still in Xue Yue's hands. However, as the Xuebing Army severely beat his two new divisions at Tieniu Pass, Xue Yue actually gave up guerrilla warfare on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border in the name of tight troops, and surrendered a large area of northeastern Jiangxi, including Guangrao and Yingtan, to the Japanese. Ouyang Yun began to think that it was because he had done something like that before, which seriously hit the self-esteem of Xue Yue, and he would make such a perverse move in anger. But later, after learning from the information sent back by the Foreign Affairs Department of Fox Pupil, Xue Yue gave up the areas of Guangrao and Yingtan, and turned to Nanchang as the center to strengthen the fortifications at all levels. After all, he is the god of the anti-Japanese army, if he can't grasp this bit of proportion, how can he still become a pillar of optimus in the middle of the Anti-Japanese War?!

The strategic destination of the Second Army was the northeast of Jiangxi, while the troops of the Third Army and the Fifth Army were directed at the southwest of Zhejiang. Among them, under the command of army commander Zhang Da, the troops of the Third Army were divided into three routes, and the Jibu Brigade directly under one army moved along the border line of Zhejiang and Jiangxi to respond to the actions of the Second Army; Deputy Army Commander Mo Xide personally led the Seventh Division to Jiangshan City; In addition, the 8th Division was responsible for containing the 9th Division of Qingyuan. Unlike the scattered attacks of the three armies, the five armies of the five armies concentrated on attacking one point: Taishun. In the early stage of the operation, the strength of the Second Army and the Third Army were retained, and at least one division of reserves was retained, while the Fifth Army was dispatched by the whole army, with three divisions and a machine infantry brigade directly under the army, with a total of nearly 40,000 troops starting from Zhenghe, Zhouning, and Fu'an, and fighting out of Fujian's borders.

The offensive plan of the ground forces this time was the best plan deduced by a group of young staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters of the Cadet Corps headed by Chen Shichang after no less than 10 war games. Chen Shichang and the others did not know the Taiwan factor behind this action, and what they were pursuing was to pursue the greatest result with the fastest speed and the smallest losses. It is said that there is a discrepancy between the plan for the performance under such a guiding ideology and Ouyang Yun's requirements. What Ouyang Yun was pursuing was just a true and false attack, but after careful research, he signed his name very decisively.

What makes Ouyang Yun most excited about this plan is the possible breakthrough of learning from the Second Army and the Fifth Army. Among them, if the battles in the Guangrao and Yingtan areas are fought well, the Eighth Independent Brigade may be completely annihilated; In the direction of Taishun, the Japanese army only stationed a wing of the 9th Division of the Okuichiro, and if Okuichiro wanted to send troops from Qingyuan to intercept the movement of the Fifth Army, then he might be surrounded and beaten by the 8th and 9th Divisions of the 3rd Army and the 3rd Division and one brigade of the 5th Army.

If the Japanese army decisively chooses to retreat, then the Fifth Army will be able to smoothly open up the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and establish a base area with Jingning, Zhejiang as the termination point, so as to obtain a strategic buffer zone. In this way, the Makeng Iron Mine, which was frequently harassed by enemy aircraft, can be safely produced.

It can be seen from this action plan alone that the staff officers of the younger generation of the Cadet Army have grown up, which makes Ouyang Yun very pleased.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the mixed group of planes of the Second Division, which had returned to the Longxishan airfield to refuel and reload, took off again; this time, Xue Changkong and his men did not make any cover-up, and flew directly to Quzhou, and their bombing destination would be the Japanese artillery position in Qingshi Town, located 30 kilometers southwest of Quzhou and 20 kilometers northeast of Jiangshan County.
