When the Battle of Nakajo Mountain entered a stalemate, the commanders-in-chief of all sides began a complicated game.

For Okamura Ninji, the first task of the North China Front was to cut off the link between the Fourth Army and the Fifteenth Army. Only by occupying the county seat of Yuanqu can they have a follow-up.

Otherwise, the six divisions will be dragged into the quagmire, and the longer it takes, the greater the consumption.

The other party's goal is very clear, which saves the deputy commander-in-chief some brainpower. He only needs to see the move, and he can press Okamura Ninji to the ground and rub it.

Although the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still on the way to support, he still has two trump cards to use.

The first is naturally the 1st Air Division, which has made more than 600 sorties since the beginning of the war, and has blown up the six divisions of the devils to the bitter end.

If it weren't for the pilots' first time participating in a major battle, their physical strength and mental strength would have been somewhat unable to keep up, and the damage to the ground would definitely have doubled.

A large part of the reason why the fruit preserved troops in Zhongtiao Mountain have been able to hold out until now is that they have air supremacy. And the heavy weapons of the devil have been taken care of.

The second one is naturally a Marine Corps, but the specific use of the deputy commander-in-chief has not yet been figured out. This is the treasure of the entire Eighth Route Army, and it can't be thrown to the position to fight a war of attrition with the devils.

Headquarters, operational conference room.

The deputy general staff officer walked to a map, he looked at the situation map with intertwined teeth, and said to everyone in the room with a long sigh of relief:

"The Ninth Army, which was guarding the line from Jiyuan to Wangwu, barely stood on its feet. With the help of the natural danger of the king's house, the three divisions should be able to block the enemy's westward invasion, and maybe they can also annihilate the enemy outside the sealed gate. ”

"The Ninth Army has secretly established a communication channel with the headquarters, and if there is any accident, we can also send support as soon as possible."

It stands to reason that a military man of the level of the Deputy General Staff should not use multiple uncertain words when analyzing the situation.

The main reason is that the preserved fruit troops, which cannot be judged by normality. may be fighting in the first second, and the next second the whole line will collapse and plummet.

"The Hengling Pass is also not bad, a 17th Army actually withstood the attack of a division and an independent mixed brigade."

"Judging from the current posture, it is entirely possible that the defenders of the frontal defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain will hold out until our main force arrives to support."

If the defenders can really hold on all the time, after the Eighth Route Army is in position, there is even a slight possibility that the two sides will besiege the North China Front.

As long as you can eat the first army, it is not a dream to recover the entire Jin Province.

After thinking for a moment, the deputy commander-in-chief came to the map. He pointed to the northern line of Nakajo Mountain and expressed his opinion to the staff officers.

"I'm going to send out the 1st Marine Regiment and parachute them down to the second half of the Northern Front."

"The devil is inside Zhongtiao Mountain, and more than a dozen small elite troops have been arranged. These people wreak havoc among various division-level units, let things happen sooner or later, and let Li Yunlong clean them up. ”

"Secondly, there is a narrow valley more than ten miles long and dangerous terrain between the northern line and the Yuanqu. The terrain was very suitable for mobile warfare, and in case the northern front was not held, the 1st Marine Regiment could also cooperate with the defenders to block the attack. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the conference room nodded.

The small elite troops in the mouth of the deputy commander-in-chief have done a lot of things. As soon as the campaign began, they launched raids on the various headquarters of the defenders.

Not only did it disrupt the connection between the superiors and subordinates of the preserved troops, but it even almost eliminated the command of the Fifth Army and almost captured their commander alive.

Let Li Yunlong lead the troops to deal with these enemies, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart ace against ace.

As for the latter concern, it was because the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain did not destroy the strategic highway along the Yellow River.

Once the northern front is lost and the Japanese army passes through the valley, it will have a great impact on the whole battle, and it is likely to bury the current good situation.

"You can go on a trip yourself, and by the way, bring a word to Li Yunlong. This battle must be fought beautifully, or I will arrest him and come to the headquarters as a staff officer for a month! ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

······

Under the light of the early morning sun, nearly 100 planes had already begun to line up for preparation, and the entire field airfield became busy.

Most transport planes have a glider in the back, and Hosha has an exaggerated wingspan of 27 meters. This allows it to gain enough lift to take off without much power.

In the belly of the glider, it can carry up to 32 soldiers.

With the air train, it is enough to transport the heavy weapons needed by the entire Marine Regiment and the soldiers to the battlefield.

After receiving the instructions of the deputy general staff, Li Yunlong immediately informed the soldiers of the whole regiment.

During this time, the comrades were in a state of combat readiness, so they quickly completed the preparations before departure. Everyone quickly went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and began to assemble after the order of the head of the regiment.

At the same time, the Deputy General Staff also came to the office in person. Looking at Li Yunlong, who had already been reborn, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that your regiment has been ready for a long time, the parachute operation is about to begin, and what awaits you is an unknown battlefield and enemy. It's hard for you to get you there. ”

Hearing these words, Li Yunlong immediately waved his hand.

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and fighting devils is what I should do. Even if we take my life, our regiment will complete the tasks assigned by the superiors. ”

"As paratroopers, the fighters have long had such an awareness. What's more, we are born surrounded by enemies, so where is this. When it comes to performing tasks in an unfamiliar environment, I believe that we are the strongest. ”

"In my name, there are clouds and dragons, and our Xiao Li was born to do this!"

This full confidence and bright sword spirit made the deputy general staff officer show a satisfied smile, and he took out a bottle of Fenjiu and poured out a bottle cap for Li Yunlong to practice.

There is no tragedy in the atmosphere that the strong man will never return, only the good expectations for his own generals.

"I really didn't mistake you kid, it was a wise choice to save you in the first place. It's a pity that Lao Xu went to Shandong, if he sees your current appearance, he will definitely be very pleased. ”

"I heard that after you transferred it, you didn't get a drop of wine. Come, take a sip! The rest of the wine will be drunk after you return from victory. ”

Although the aroma of wine aroused the cravings in Li Yunlong's stomach, he still refused the deputy general staff without hesitation. Lao Li showed his big white teeth, and said with a smile:

"One bottle cap is not too much, you have to drink a drink at one time. You can keep it for me, and when this battle is over, I'll go to the headquarters for a drink. ”

"Take care, chief! I'm leaving! ”

At six o'clock in the morning, all the comrades were assembled. At this time, they were in the base, making the last preparations before leaving.

Every soldier wears a full set of equipment, and the huge umbrella bag behind him is the most important thing.

In addition to checking themselves, the squad leader will also help, they are afraid that which rope will be entangled together will cause the parachute to fail after leaving the cabin.

For the next battle, the comrades carried a lot of dry rations and ammunition, which made the overall image look a little bloated. But no one cares about aesthetics, mission and survival are the most important things.

The cooking class is also very caring, and a sufficient amount of red peppers are specially prepared for the Marine Corps, and these gadgets can help the soldiers maintain a good mental state.

It didn't take much time to check the equipment, and the comrades' belongings had been prepared a long time ago, and now they just checked and filled in the gaps.

At this time, the outside world was filled with the roar of propellers, and everyone understood that a large number of planes were being dispatched, and they were ready to board and depart.

Five minutes later, the fighters received an order to enter the airfield. Everyone quickly sorted out their military uniforms and marched towards the assembly place in platoons.

The regiment consisted of two parachute infantry battalions, plus two support companies and a small number of regimental troops, totaling more than 1,000 men.

But it is these 1,000 people, when they trot forward in unison, they bring a great sense of oppression.

The appearance of the entire 1st Marine Regiment is very good, and it is equipped with all kinds of military aircraft at the airport. The scene at this time is spectacular, and anyone who comes will be enthusiastic.

The mobilization before boarding the plane was handed over to the deputy commander-in-chief, and looking at the comrades who were ready to go, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Comrades, you should know the mission! In a few minutes, you're about to head to the depths of Nakajo Mountain, where a battle awaits you that no one knows who knows! Would you like to! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone replied in unison: "Die for battle!" It's a glorious thing! ”

"Excellent! Just look at your current mental outlook! I knew there would be nothing wrong with this mission! I hope you can become a sharp knife and stab all the devil's schemes! ”

"Remember one thing! You are the troops of the Chinese! If you accidentally have a conflict with the local defenders, everyone must refrain from it! At present, the enemy must be unanimous with the outside world! ”

"Now! All of them! Boarding! ”

After receiving the order, the fighters quickly boarded the plane in groups according to the usual training. The number of people and equipment in each group left the air train and Hosha glider a little free for the carrying capacity.

Everyone is a trained veteran, and no one is nervous even if they are about to land in an unknown environment.

After boarding, ground staff continue to inspect the aircraft. They want to make sure that nothing goes wrong and that there are no machine failures during the parachute.

During this boring waiting, the comrades could only chat and fart in the cabin. The way everyone talked and laughed also showed that they were confident in the battle that would take place soon.

The main reason is that the North China Front has completely lost air supremacy, and the ground forces do not even have anti-aircraft artillery. Coupled with the Spitfire and Hurricane fighter escorts, the journey was very safe.

Wei Dayong, who was sitting near the hatch, looked at his head of the regiment, and he asked with some curiosity:

"Captain, why did I smell alcohol on you, did you secretly drink just now? The pillar has been transferred to another unit, or you can count his old rules on me. ”

"He didn't have Fenjiu to drink, my request is not to burn melons."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the cabin cast curious and expectant eyes. Although it was the first time for many people to fight side by side with Li Yunlong, everyone knew that the regiment commander had clear rewards and punishments and treated everyone equally.

As for the pillars, there is a hidden reason for not coming to the land war.

First, because his physical fitness was not up to par, and second, Li Yunlong hoped that his old subordinates could have a better future, so he recommended him to the artillery regiment at the headquarters.

"Go, go, go, what to drink. There is a combat mission, how can I drink. ”

"But the deputy general staff owes me a meal, if any of you can kill ten devils in this battle, I will take you to the headquarters for a meal when I come back!"

"Haha, good!"

In a pleasant atmosphere, Principal Chang reminded that the time for take-off had come. He picked up the communicator in his hand and said to the rest of the crew in the channel:

"Attention crews! Attention each unit! The action begins! Everyone takes off in the predetermined order. ”

Although the airport at the airport headquarters has been expanded several times, after all, it is a collective action of more than 100 aircraft, and if it is not properly arranged, it will inevitably cause traffic chaos.

What's more, the 27-meter wing of the Hosha glider is too much space.

As soon as the words fell, the air train where Li Yunlong was located shook slightly and moved slowly, and the propellers on both sides also turned faster and faster.

The entire formation was divided into three echelons, the first echelon of which consisted of more than thirty fighters taking off first. Even though the surrounding airspace is certainly safe, they still do their duty.

After the fighters began to circle, the second-echelon air train dragged the gliders and began to accelerate.

Due to the fact that the load capacity is close to the limit, this makes the length of the runway very demanding. Fortunately, it's a headwind now, and it can be regarded as a face-saving God.

This is because when an airplane is taxiing, air flows along the wing surface, subjecting the upper and lower wing surfaces to different pressures resulting in lift.

If there is a wind blowing head-on, it gains more lift, allowing the aircraft to take off from the ground faster.

After more than two kilometers of gliding, the transport planes of the second echelon took off with gliders.

"It seems that even the weather is on our side, and we don't need to borrow the east wind. The third echelon picked up speed and acted immediately. Our goal is Nakajo Mountain! Let's go! ”

The third echelon has only a small number of transport aircraft with gliders, and the high-power engines combined with the east wind make it impossible for them to glide too long.

The whole take-off process is full of beauty, and it is completely different from some powerful brick flying aircraft.

When all the transport planes formed a formation, the escort Spitfire and Hurricane also came into play. This time, in addition to sending the 1st Marine Regiment to the rear of Nakajo Mountain, it was also necessary to support the Western Front as appropriate.

Half an hour later, the sunrise sun dispersed on the plane.

Escorted by more than 60 fighters, the entire formation silently advanced at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

Principal Chang was very satisfied with this takeoff, he picked up the communicator hanging in front of him, and said in the channel:

"All pilots watch their routes and never collide. We expect to arrive at our destination in two hours, after which the entire formation will enter radio silence. ”

For the first time, ask for a monthly pass! Strive to rush to 2000!

Tomorrow I will continue to try Riwan, but not necessarily.
