Chapter 261: Ground-Air Battle (1)

Xue Ru calmly listened to Hu Wansong's report on the situation, and frowned, things are indeed a little tricky, the Japanese troops in Qinzhou and Nanning have also found that the number of goods entering Longzhou from the Langshan Highway is increasing. On the one hand, Japan exerted pressure on the French ambassador to Japan, Andri, and on the other hand, it strengthened the deployment of troops in Guangxi, and at the same time, Ando Jiri sent the 3rd Air Force to concentrate bombers on the road between Longzhou and Dean.

Hu Wansong's road protection brigade has no anti-aircraft weapons, and at the same time, the road stretches for thousands of kilometers, so it is impossible to defend against it. The biggest problem is that the Snow Fox does not have an air force, and it is impossible to protect such a long road, without air supremacy.

Hu Wansong was so angry that he could only look at the Japanese planes and had no choice. The transport team was not all strategic materials from the Nationalist Government, but also a large number of domestic businessmen, as well as some commercial companies from Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, who paid protection money and taxes to the road escort team, and of course the road escort team was compensated for being bombed by planes along the way.

With Hu Wansong's unreasonable character, he is a fart, but business is about credibility, if he doesn't care, will anyone still do business? There was no choice but to set up shelter in the mountains and forests along the way, where they could hide from planes during the day and then rush at night.

In this way, not only did the number of transports be greatly reduced, but also slowed down the speed of transport, and the most infuriating thing was that the Japanese army also quickly changed its tactics; since the vehicles were concealed during the day and passed at night, the planes of the 3rd Air Force began to bomb the road, and Hu Wansong and his troops mobilized the road escort brigade and the surrounding people did not have time to repair it.

He really couldn't think of a way, so he had to come to Xue Ru to see how to solve it. Snow Fox has no other place to make money whether it is abroad or in China, only through this road can get income, and Zhang Donglin also needs money there.

Hu Wansong didn't understand, there are four county towns under his jurisdiction, and there is no money in one port, so what is Zhang Donglin doing with him? Where does the money go? I swore in my heart that one day if I found out that Zhang Donglin was full of private pockets, I would shoot him, a bastard.

A large amount of money was transferred to Heyang, and more than 5,000 people under Hu Wansong also cost money, and this highway must not be interrupted. Before coming here, Hu Wansong didn't know what Xue Ru could do, and I believe he couldn't think of any good way. Without the Air Force, it is not possible to have anti-aircraft guns on the ground and air defense, can it protect hundreds of kilometers of roads? Who knows where the Japanese bombed?

Hu Wansong had a bitter face: "Miss, I got so much money, let's buy a plane, let's organize some air forces and devils to do it, I'm almost angry." ”

Xue Ru dreamed of having an air force, but it was so easy to form an air force, it would be a huge expense. With the current strength of Snow Fox, not to mention including airport maintenance and facilities, I am afraid that even if you buy an airplane, you may not be able to do it! Shaking his head and saying: "Just that little money, the Air Force is not the Army, only airplanes are not enough, pilots, ammunition, airports, these must be solved, not something that can be done at once, it seems that we have to find another way for the time being." ”

Hu Wansong said dejectedly: "How can there be any way? Even if there are air defense forces, it is useless, we don't know where the devils are bombing, it is nearly a thousand kilometers from Longzhou to De'an, and it is impossible to prevent it! ”

Xue Ru said: "Don't worry, let me think of a way. After speaking, he walked to the map and said: "You go back immediately, and observe the Japanese planes along the way, it is impossible to be irregular." As long as they find their pattern, they can increase the number of shelters, use car transportation, speed up road repairs, and keep cars passable. ”

Hu Wansong didn't know why Xue Ru did this, the goal of the car was bigger, and it was not as good as his own mule and horse team! The Japanese army was not worth bombing at all. In addition, after the road is destroyed, mules and horses can pass the same way, but the number is reduced.

If you use a car devil plane, you can have a more goal, and Xue Ru smiled when she said her worries: "You arrange it, I have my own way." I will return to Ha Duong tomorrow to arrange this matter, you will first use mules and horses to transport, and we will be responsible for the compensation for the loss of those goods, this is the reputation, otherwise how can we establish long-term trade. ”

"Okay, Miss, hurry up." Hu Wansong couldn't figure out what way Xue Ru could come up with, anyway, Miss had the title of fox spirit, so there should be a way. He thought that he was very smart, but he couldn't think of any way, so he had to go back first and inform the road guards to increase protection along the way, build more protection points, and try to reduce losses, because the road guards could not afford to pay compensation.

Ando Jili seems to be competing with Snow Fox, and Chongzen loses a brigade after his defeat, so that he no longer dares to attack. The Chinese dispatch army also knew that the 21st Army was limited in strength, so the 18th Division and the Guards Mixed Brigade were transferred from the Central China Front to strengthen the offensive in the direction of Kunlun Pass and the defense in the direction of Longzhou. The New Ninth Army entered De'an, and Longzhou was in charge of a newly formed road protection brigade, which in turn was a unit commanded by Xue Ru.

The troops commanded by Snow Fox Xue Ru have never been regular, but her troops are better equipped than the national army, and their combat effectiveness is also strong, which is something that the Japanese secret service headquarters can't figure out. On the one hand, Nishio Shouzo asked the country to negotiate with France, hoping to block the transportation in Vietnam, and on the other hand, he strengthened the 21st Army and blocked the passage in China. The 21st Flying Group was transferred to Qinzhou, with Ishikawa Aidazuo as the commander, commanding the 82nd, 84th, 3rd, 5th, and 88th squadrons of aircraft, mainly Nanning Airport and Qinzhou Airport, and more than 100 light and heavy bombers blocked the Longde Highway and continued to bomb it.

Hu Wansong's transportation was intermittent, and there were more than 100,000 tons of goods in Haiphong Port, which could not be transported back at all. In Guiyang, Changsha, and Chongqing, hundreds of thousands of tons of export materials could not be transported, and for Wei Jianye, they proposed to transfer the 5th Air Force Brigade into Liuzhou and Guilin to protect the channel, but Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the Air Force, vetoed it at that time. Because there are not many air forces on the national side, there are too many places that need to be protected, and it is impossible to protect such a long distance. It is also dangerous to leave the airfields of the ground air defense forces, there are no airfields in Longju and Dean, and it is impossible to protect them. Not only will the road not be protected, but the only aircraft that may be lost may also be lost.

Wang Jinwu and Wei Jianye sent telegrams to Zhang Donglin again and again, asking him to guarantee that the materials would be transported as soon as possible. Zhang Donglin couldn't help it, he didn't participate in the military, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to send a telegram to Xue Ru. After sending Hu Wansong away, he arranged the matter from Longzhou to De'an, Xue Ru took the guards and left Longzhou in a car, and entered North Vietnam from Lang Son Highway to Ha Duong.

As soon as Xue Ru arrived, he said to Zhang Donglin, who greeted him: "You put it in advance, and you will talk about it when you have time." Inform Ouyang Sa to come to me on a daily basis. ”

Zhang Donglin had too many things to wait for Xue Ru to decide, but he had to wait and sent someone to call Ouyang Sa who was in Ha Long Harbor to come to Heyang. After receiving Xue Ru's order, Ouyang Sari immediately drove back to Heyang, how long has it been, and Heyang, a small remote county town, has changed a lot.

Walking on the streets of Heyang, you can see Zhang Donglin's talent, the thoughts in his heart and the talent in his chest, which are fully displayed in Heyang. He can do whatever he wants, and he has no scruples. Although Xue Ru was the emperor of the Northern Vietnamese Autonomous Government, he never interfered with what Zhang Donglin should do, and the literati, scholars, and talented people sent from China were all playing a role.

Xue Ru could see that Zhang Donglin simply regarded the three counties around Heyang to Halong Port as his own country. The city wall of Ha Duong was demolished, which was completely a modern way of urban construction, and he completely got the same set in the United States as it did in the north of Vietnam.

Roosevelt's 1928 economic revival program was learned by Zhang Donglin, who used this method to form a road network from Ha Duong to Thanh Thanh to Dongping, Taiyuan, and Ha Long in less than half a year, and a large number of immigrants from China, Cambodia, Laos, and southern Vietnam, as far as Thailand and Burma, continued to enter northern Vietnam. It can be said that the population of North Vietnam is increasing dramatically, and all kinds of people are coming together, and there are various languages, scripts, and costumes.

Xue Ru just used what he saw along the way to admit that using Zhang Donglin was definitely the most correct choice. This guy is really talented, but when Xue Ru saw him, he admitted that he was tired in his thirties, and he looked a lot older, but he was full of energy.

It was his efforts that made Yuebei today, and Xue Ru met Ouyang Sari in the office prepared for her. When Xue Ru saw him, Xue Ru couldn't help laughing, Ouyang Sari, who could be regarded as a little white face, became like an African, with a dark face and rough skin, and saluted Xue Ru: "See Miss." ”

Xue Ru asked strangely, "How are you doing this, so embarrassed." ”

Ouyang Sari shook his head: "Miss, you went to the sea and was blown by the sea for a few months, I will take a look, the fucking sea is not so fun to look at, I almost fed the fish." ”

Although Xue Ru has never been a fisherman or a navy, she knows the sea, and it is refreshing to stand on the shore and watch it, if she really goes to sea, the situation is another matter. He said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Ouyang Sari shook his head: "This is nothing, but why can't Miss let me use a sampan and a small fishing boat to train the navy, what about my ship?" ”

Xue Ru knew better that it was dozens or hundreds of times more difficult to build a navy than an air force, and that was smashed with money, and there were only four counties and one port in northern Vietnam. But he hadn't figured out what to do, there were too many things and he had to come step by step, so he said: "Then don't be in a hurry, it's not something that can be done at once, now there is a problem on the Longzhou-De'an highway that needs to be solved urgently, you immediately organize an air defense force for me, it doesn't need too much, just have a battalion." ”

"That's easy to do." Ouyang Sari said: "I transferred an air defense battalion from the regiment directly under me, they have just been equipped with some anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, and the battalion commander Wang Hai is a person from the original Snow Fox, and the training is also good. ”

Xue Ru nodded and said, "Okay, order him to enter Tongdeng Town immediately, and I will personally rush there to command." ”

Ouyang Sari said: "The devils only dare to bomb China, they don't dare to bomb France-occupied Vietnam, and Miss plans to let them return to China to participate in the war." ”

Xue Ru nodded: "The Japanese army is using planes to cut off our transportation lines, so the air defense battalion is to protect the road against Japanese planes." ”

Ouyang Sari said: "I'm afraid that an air defense battalion can't solve the problem at such a long distance, so I think it's better to find another way." ”

Xue Ru asked, "Do you have any solution to solve it?" Ouyang Sari said: "I heard from Halong Port that the Japanese army blocked the Longde Highway, and the method that Wan Yonghui of the special operations brigade said I think is feasible, he thinks that we have no planes, but the Japanese planes also stay on the ground and cannot always fly in the sky, and their special combat team is dispatched to infiltrate the Japanese occupation area and destroy the Japanese airfield, so the devil cannot dispatch the plane for a long time." ”

Xue Ru's eyes lit up, he was still from the next generation, and he was also a quasi-special soldier, so why couldn't he even think of this. nodded again and again: "This method is good, you immediately let Wan Yonghui and them study and formulate a plan to prepare for the attack." ”

Seeing that Xue Ru also agreed, Ouyang Sari said: "The special combat team is training in Cai Li, I will inform them immediately, does the young lady have any other instructions?" ”

Xue Ru thought about it and said: "There is no plan for special warfare, it is all played on the spot, but in terms of weapons, I will help them find a way, and let them study the rest by themselves." ”

Ouyang Sari was also very busy, Xue Ru gave him the task of forming a navy, air force and armored army in Halong Port, at this time there were seven or eight brigades under the regiment, which concentrated all kinds of talents and arms, although there was no corresponding training thing, but there was theoretical study and some basic training every day, so that he didn't have any time at all, so he immediately left Ha Yang and returned to Ha Long Port, and notified the air defense battalion Wang Hai to lead his battalion to Tongdeng to stand by, and at the same time notified the special brigade trained by Cai Li to come to Ha Long to accept the task.

After Ouyang's affairs were arranged, Xue Ru had time to see Zhang Donglin, looking at the emaciated Zhang Donglin, Xue Ru said: "You also have to pay attention to rest, work is not something that can be done in one day, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and it is not a good thing to learn to let your subordinates contribute, and it is not a good thing to be kind." ”

Zhang Donglin smiled bitterly: "Miss, I want to too, but our place is too small, and we have an agreement with France that we can't expand outward, and the strength of the north of Vietnam is not enough to recruit talents, so we can only cultivate it ourselves, so I can't help it." ”

Xue Ru said: "Let me take a brief look, I see that what you are doing is planning to occupy this place for a long time, what do you think?" Zhang Donglin immediately came to the spirit: "Vietnam is a colony, France has occupied and ruled Vietnam for decades, with a history of 100 years, the Vietnamese emperor is a tablet, they can't get rid of French control at all." Vietnam has been a vassal state of China for thousands of years, and it has been Chinese territory since before the Tang Dynasty. In that case, why don't we occupy this place, and when we have the strength, swallow Vietnam and Laos in one fell swoop and drive the French out. ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment and said, "You plan to incorporate Vietnam into the Chinese territory?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Donglin's eyes: "Miss, haven't you ever thought about independence?" Why was it incorporated into China? ”

Zhang Donglin's words shocked Xue Ru's heart, she did have the idea of turning Vietnam into a Chinese colony, but she didn't think about the issue of self-reliance, and said a little seriously: "This is just your idea?" ”

Zhang Donglin shook his head: "I have studied with Qiao Han, and he fully supports it, saying that he will fully support Miss if she wants to do it, and the Snow Fox Army will always be Miss's." ”

As soon as this idea popped up, it immediately occupied Xue Ru's brain, making her not know what to say for a while, and waved her hand and said, "This matter makes me think about it." ”
