Chapter 30 Target Baoding Japanese airfield, free shelling at full speed! (Above)
"Attack the devil's airport?"
At the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong opposite.
There are not many airfields in North China, about a dozen, after all, there are only about 300 planes, transport planes, and reconnaissance planes of the North China Front Army.
For an army with a total strength of 300,000 troops,
Not much.
Although his own strength is still far from the main force of the great powers, as his horizons are broadened, Zhao Gang also knows that with the strength of the North China Front Army and the combat mission, more than 300 aircraft are completely insufficient.
"Baoding!"
Li Yunlong did not hesitate to choose the airport in Baoding.
"Baoding Airport!"
Zhao Gang looked at the map, and information about Baoding Airport came to mind.
According to the intelligence of the headquarters,
At Baoding Airport, an aviation wing with Devils is stationed, and about 20 Devil planes are stationed, most of which are reconnaissance planes, the rest are fighters, and a small number of bombers.
There are not many planes.
However, because it is located in an important transportation hub, the Pinghan Line passes through here, and is located at the center point of the area controlled by the devils in North China, so the scale of Baoding Airport is not small, there are a large number of fuel depots, ammunition depots and hangars.
The scale of the airport is not inferior to Taiyuan Airport,
Even the warehouses and guards are still excessive.
"That's a big goal."
Zhao Gang was a little puzzled.
Baoding Airport has a lot of concrete structure buildings, which are very strong, and if you want to bombard and destroy Baoding Airport, you must dispatch 120 mortars, and you must fire no less than 200 to 300 shells.
"I'm going to dispatch five 120 mortars to reward the devil with 400 shells at Baoding Airport."
Li Yunlong smiled.
"Five 120 mortars and 400 shells, even if they can't completely destroy the devil's Baoding Airport, they can be completely paralyzed, and the firepower is enough."
Zhao Gang reminded:
"But five mortars, plus the entire crew, would require seven transport planes to transport them, and there would be no extra space to carry the shells."
A 120 mortar, plus a crew of nine people, although the weight did not exceed the one-way carrying capacity of the transport transport aircraft by 1.5 tons, the cargo compartment of the transport aircraft was limited and could not be loaded.
Must be shipped in batches.
Zhao Gang continued:
"Four hundred rounds of 120 mortar shells, the total weight reached ten tons."
"The remaining three transport planes can only carry less than five tons of shells at most."
"And the more planes that are dispatched in a trip, the easier it is to be discovered by devils, and the more likely it is to have problems."
"I plan to transport them in batches, first store the shells in concealment near the Devil's Baoding Airport, and the personnel can also transport them first, and even the artillery can be transported in advance."
Li Yunlong said his plan.
"Then we need the support of headquarters."
Zhao Gang said.
With such a huge battle plan, not to mention the independent regiment, even the Taiyue base area, there is no ability to carry it out alone.
···
Baoding - the famous Baoding Military Academy of the Republic of China is located, an important town on the Pinghan Line, a transportation hub connecting Beiping and Shimen, and the center of the entire North China region.
The devil naturally attaches great importance to Baoding.
At the same time as the construction of the huge airport, a full formation of a wing, a police brigade, plus the puppet army, the imperial army, a total of more than 6,000 troops.
Among them, there were as many as 3,500 Japanese regular combat troops.
One is to protect the airport.
Secondly, to protect the traffic of the Pinghan Line, although the devils in the north and south of the Pinghan Line did not completely control the opening up, even if it was a part, it was also a key help for the devils to control the occupied areas.
Night.
"The superior has come to order."
Thirty kilometers from Baoding, on the edge of Gao County, in a village called Xiaowangzhuang, in a somewhat dilapidated house.
Dididi···
With the faint sound of a ticking radio, a plainclothes guerrilla fighter rushed out and handed a telegram to the guerrilla leader, Qian Dayun.
"Orders from above?"
Qian Dayun is an old Red Army.
Baoding is an important town, and the Eighth Route Army will naturally not give up here, and has sent some of the backbone of many main regiments to form guerrillas here, develop teams, and resist devils.
However, due to the serious shortage of resources and equipment, the guerrillas near Baoding did not develop well.
Qian Dayun came to Gao County near Baoding in March last year, and as of May this year, there were only more than 100 guerrillas at their peak in one year and two months.
It even included the families of some guerrilla fighters.
There are only more than 20 villages in the scope of activities, and they have little influence in the county seat, and they have few successes, and they are almost no threat to the devils.
No way
In the plains, the strength of the devils is far stronger than in other places, and the situation between the enemy and us is very grim.
However, in the space of more than a year, with almost no effective support from outside, the guerrillas led by Qian Dayun not only survived tenaciously on their own, but also grew from less than a dozen individuals to nearly 100 people, with a range of activities in dozens of villages.
It can be said that it is very remarkable.
It's just that this achievement, in the face of powerful devils, can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
But this year,
To be precise, things have taken a turn for the worse since mid-May this year.
Huge turnaround.
Qian Dayun still remembers the sudden news from his superiors that support from his superiors will arrive soon.
Although Qian Dayun was happy in his heart at the beginning,
But limited.
He thought that his superiors would send a few senior Eighth Route Army, or support a few weapons and ammunition.
Although the Gaoxian guerrillas are in urgent need of both the veteran and experienced Eighth Route Army and the weapons and equipment, it cannot solve the problem of the guerrillas being repeatedly compressed by devils and their mass base being weakened by devils.
And then
A few days later, the people sent by the higher authorities brought in 8,000 oceans.
At the first sight of the ocean, Qiandayun was stunned for a long, long time.
This support was beyond his expectations.
However, Qian Dayun had to admit that this batch of oceans was the most suitable for the Gaoxian guerrillas, and it was far more suitable than the elite backbone talents, weapons and ammunition.
Based on the situation of the guerrillas in Gao County at that time,
and the strength of the garrison of the devils near Baoding,
No matter how many elite backbones were transferred by the superiors and how many weapons and ammunition they supported, it was impossible to confront the devils head-on, nor could they solve the difficult survival situation of the guerrillas at that time.
But eight thousand oceans,
Let Qian Dayun find a space for the guerrillas to survive and open up a way of life without confronting the devils head-on.
And gradually grows, and even develops a lot of eyeliner within the devil.
The follow-up superiors also supported a lot of oceans,
The guerrillas in Gaoxian County grew to more than 500 people, limited by the lack of weapons and ammunition, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but the intelligence ability is very outstanding, and the eyeline is all over Gaoxian, and even developed to the vicinity of Baoding Airport.
Because Gao County is close to the Devil's Baoding Airport, last month, the superiors even equipped them with a radio station.
"What order?"
Qian Dayun's tone was excited.
As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while,
The Gaoxian guerrillas have been established for more than a year, and all along, the orders of the higher authorities have been to develop and grow, and there are no combat tasks.
"Tomorrow there will be a group of fighters from the main regiment coming, let us fully cooperate with them."
The telegraph operator replied.
"The main regiment?"
"Fully cooperative?"
Qian Dayun narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming more and more excited.
In the order of the superiors, although the identity of the main regiment was not stated, nor did it specify the specific tasks, this just showed that this combat mission was a big move.
"Notify the backbone assembly."
"Meeting tonight."
Qian Dayun immediately ordered the backbone of the guerrillas to assemble.
···
Following.
Midday.
Xiaowangzhuang, in a house.
"Our task this time is to find a flat and open land that is 10 meters wide and 200 meters long, and requires a wooden wheel truck with a weight of 200 catties to walk on it at high speed without collapsing."
Liu Shun, who came from the independent regiment quickly, put forward a task request to Qian Dayun:
"The construction of a secret warehouse within a six-kilometer radius close to the airport required protection from rain and moisture, and was sufficiently hidden."
Hearing the details of this mission, the thoughts in Qian Dayun's mind rolled.
The flat and open land with a width of 10 meters and a length of 200 meters requires a wooden wheel and board truck with a load of 200 catties to walk at high speed without collapsing.
You don't have to think about it to know that this is used as an airstrip.
and
A secret warehouse six kilometers from the Devil's Airport.
The meaning of the superiors is already obvious, and they are ready to make a move on the devil airport near Gao County, Baoding.
He knows that the troops already have planes!
"Okay."
"I'll arrange it myself right away."
Although Qian Dayun's tone was very calm, his heart was full of excitement.
He thought that there was a big move, but he didn't expect that he would actually make a move on the devil Baoding Airport.
And it seems that the scale will not be small, and the troops are using aircraft.
"Be careful with secrecy."
Liu Shun continued to advise:
"I'll arrange it myself, no one knows the details of this mission except me."
Qian Dayun's tone was serious.
As an old Red Army, Qian Dayun knows a truth very well.
Although the Gaoxian guerrillas were brought out by him, and he almost knew the bottom of every core member, he didn't dare to guarantee that there were no devil spies and eyeliner in the team.
This mission to the devil's airport, there is absolutely no room for mistakes,
Once the devil knows, not to mention the previous efforts, there may be heavy losses.
For this reason, he decided that no one else would know the details of this mission except him.
···
Taiyuan.
Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.
"In the Zhizi Mountain bombing operation, the Locust Army lost two of its newest bombers."
"The Eighth Route Army was armed with a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, and there were extremely large numbers, and in various important locations, bridges were arranged in large numbers."
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the information sent by the North China Front and sighed deeply.
Since the empire's tank and armored vehicle superiority was taken by the Eighth Route Army,
Another absolute superiority of the Empire, the Army Aviation Aircraft, was again suppressed by the Eighth Route Army.
"Although anti-aircraft machine guns, it is difficult to threaten the Air Force."
"The real scary thing about the Air Force is its extremely high mobility, but it also means that the Empire's bombing effect on the Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced."
Yamamoto is also an understanding person.
Anti-aircraft machine guns pose little threat to army aircraft,
However, the large number of large-caliber heavy machine guns also means that in the future, the army aviation will not be able to reconnoiter the Tu Eighth Route base area at a low altitude at will, and it will not be able to accurately bomb the bridges and warehouses of the Eighth Route Army at a low altitude of 4 to 500 meters.
"Yamamoto-kun."
Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly looked at Yamamoto:
"You say, after three months, will the three divisions of the Locust Army be able to destroy the Taiyue Mountains?"
"It's hard."
After being silent for a long time, Yamamoto spoke the truth from his heart.
"Is it difficult?"
Yoshio Shinozuka also repeated in a long voice.
