“What gathering?”
"Of course it is to celebrate the great victory in Wanjialing."
"So fast?"
"Join to the fun! Add a fire to the north!"
"oh……"
Zhang Yong understood.
It turned out to be to interact with the Soviets.
Judging from Commander Qian's expression, you know that he is very much looking forward to this matter.
It feels like Churchill's - the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, and we can finally feel a little easier...
However, in fact, the Zhang Gufeng conflict was not large in scale. The two sides of the conflict seemed to have an agreement to make an agreement to fight.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect the fight in the north to fight to the death.
But it is indeed beneficial to China. It is to restrain the Japanese Kwantung Army and prevent them from acting rashly.
In the future, the Japanese invaders did not dare to easily draw troops from the Kwantung Army to enter the pass, effectively reducing the pressure inside the pass.
"You have a look at this first."
Commander Qian handed him a document.
Zhang Yong glanced at it. They were all military numbers. There were several.
It seems that they are all the troops inspected by themselves?
"do what?"
"According to the instructions of the Commission, I have transferred all the troops."
"Call it?"
"Add to the command of the Hankou Security Command. That is, you have full command."
"I?"
"Yes. I'm on the name. It's actually your command."
"good."
Zhang Yong is not polite either.
He is indeed better at commanding war than Commander Qian.
There is a system! No matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.
But I didn't expect that this time the bald head would transfer all the troops to him.
This sends a very clear signal.
It is to fight an annihilation war, but Hankou cannot be lost.
I tilted my head and thought about it...
"The commander, the commissioner and the Soviets have any differences?"
"You noticed it?"
“There’s a little bit.”
"The Soviets' plans are quite grand, and the Commissioners are worried that too much is not enough..."
"Understood."
Zhang Yong nodded.
It is rare for bald people to have such awareness.
Indirectly, the Soviets may have been a bit ignoring reality.
The bald man needs to consider the consequences of failure. But the Soviets did not have that concern.
If it fails, at most it will retreat. Anyway, this is not their territory. In Spain, the Soviets had this idea.
result……
"So, Shaolong, it's difficult. You are responsible for practical exercises, and I am responsible for carrying thunder."
"clear."
"If I can't stand it, I will change the chief guard."
"clear."
Zhang Yong nodded slowly.
Sure enough, this matter is very complicated. Undercurrents are turbulent.
The Soviets were very fond of merit and were unrealistic. They wanted to build a big one and support the north.
I wish the larger the scale of this battle, the better, and the greater the movement and silence.
It is best to invest more than one million troops...
But the bald man himself needs to preserve his strength and cannot consume all the remaining energy at once.
There was a meal in the future and it was beaten away all of a sudden. His commissioner ended up.
It is really difficult to achieve a balance between this.
The same is true for future expeditionary forces.
We must also worry about the feelings of Britain and the United States, and also preserve our strength.
Grind the heart.
Survive in the cracks.
Disaster!
Disaster!
Disaster!
No wonder Commander Qian is ready to carry the thunder.
In the past, Zhang Yong was responsible for carrying the thunder, but this time it didn't work.
Because this time, he has to command the war in a real way. While winning the victory, he also preserves his strength for the bald man.
“Go to the war room.”
"good."
Commander Qian took Zhang Yong to the next door.
Next door is the war room. Du Songyue and Zhang Weifan are both here.
The personnel of the entire command center are actually the original Jiujiang Forward Command Post.
Almost intact.
There is one more Yang Lichu.
She is mainly responsible for communicating with the National Air Force.
Because the Battle of Hankou is three-dimensional. Both the enemy and our planes may participate in the war.
There is also Xu Kang.
The Yangtze River Waterway is also a very important battlefield.
“Specialist!”
“Specialist!”
Everyone stood attentively and saluted.
Zhang Yong raised his hand to return the favor. Then he sat down with a relaxed expression.
It is not difficult to command the war.
The empty finger map shows a lot of information.
What he has to do now is to process it one by one based on this information.
First of all, the National Government Air Force.
Those Martin 139WC bombers can be dispatched.
First stimulate the Japanese ground troops and tempt the Japanese fighter jets to come for reinforcements.
It is probably not judged that the Japanese ground troops will only be beaten for nothing.
However, the bombing level of the National Air Force is relatively poor and the effect may be average. In the end, it will depend on ground troops to solve the problem.
"Yang Lichu."
"arrive."
"Order Xu Huansheng to prepare for dispatch."
"yes."
"All Martin bombers were dispatched, full of bombs, half of them were fueled. Follow my orders."
"yes."
Yang Lichu went to pass the order.
Zhang Yong waved his hand and asked Du Songyue to send the troops information.
The 48th Army, the 67th Army, and the 100th Army are all on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Among them, the 67th Army is the front line and is responsible for the direction of Ezhou.
The 68th Army, 69th Army and the 55th Army are on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The 55th Army is on the front line.
There is no problem with this deployment. No changes are required.
Looking through the information about the Japanese invaders, there was no change.
The seven divisions are the 3rd Division, the 102nd Division, the 105th Division, the 109th Division, the 21st Division, and the 22nd Division.
There is also a 16th Division, which originally marched towards Ezhou, but now it has retracted.
Six armies, six divisions and six Japanese invaders, had one-on-one force.
After the continuous fierce battle, all the troops of the National Army were not satisfied. The 67th Army had only about 15,000 troops.
Previously, the elite Japanese invaders went south and launched a continuous fierce attack on the national army, causing great losses to the national army. It is still impossible to replenish the troops for the time being. The gap in the army is too big, and it is a drop in the bucket. Some troops have already begun to savagely capture strong men.
"Old Du."
"exist."
"Didn't those eight battalions contact you?"
“Everything has been contacted.”
"Okay. Send them a telegram, lie dormant for a while, waiting for orders."
"yes."
Du Songyue went to arrange it.
Zhang Yong silently checked the map and looked for the locations of the eight infantry battalions.
They are very scattered, everywhere, and some are still very close to the Japanese invaders. This was deliberately arranged by Zhang Yong.
The main task of these infantry battalions is to assist in the elimination of heavy weapons of the Japanese invaders.
Including the Japanese invaders' mountain cannons and tanks.
Zhang Yong doesn't understand the tactics that are too clever. He only knows how to kill the opponent's heavy weapons first.
There is a toothless tiger left, and then slowly clean up.
“Specialist.”
Yang Lichu is back.
The report said that the Air Force was ready.
Five Martin heavy bombers led by Xu Huansheng can take off at any time.
"Order them to take off!"
"yes."
"Arrival over Yellowstone and wait for orders."
"yes."
Yang Lichu went to pass the order.
Soon, the map of the air finger showed that five planes took off.
After they formed in the air, they flew towards Yellowstone. The speed was maintained at about 280 kilometers per hour.
More than ten minutes later, the bomber formation arrived over Yellowstone.
"Tail 163!"
"Fly about forty kilometers. Pay attention to the Japanese mountain cannons on the ground."
Zhang Yong issued another order.
Yang Lichu went to send a telegram and convey the order.
After a while, the bomber formation began to turn and continued to fly.
Successfully arrived above the Japanese mountain cannon sign.
The target should be discovered.
It was a mountain artillery brigade of the 108th Division of the Japanese invaders. It had twelve mountain artillery pieces.
Unfortunately, there is no video transmission on the null finger map.
The bombing can only be judged based on the number of mountain cannon signs on the ground to determine whether the bombing is effective.
result……
No response for a long time.
It may be that the height is too high and the hit rate is too low.
Before the Norton bomb dropper was invented, the effect of dropping bombs at high altitude was actually very poor.
The map of the empty finger shows that the height of those Martin bombers is above 1,800 meters. The mountain cannons on the ground may look the size of soybeans.
With the speed of the bomber itself, it is really difficult to hit directly.
Sure enough, he returned without success.
All the bombs were thrown out. The mountain cannon signs did not decrease.
In other words, this bombing had no effect at all.
Very disappointed.
But I have to accept reality.
To achieve good results, dive bombing must be adopted.
The problem is that the National Air Force does not have professional dive bombers. Ordinary bombers will fall apart when dives.
"Order them to return."
"yes."
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Well, I can't rely on high-altitude bombing for the time being.
It’s better to wait until you have the chance in the future and lead the team yourself to bomb the Japanese invaders’ local area.
When bombing a big city, the hit rate is definitely much higher than that when bombing a mountain cannon.
However, there is a way.
Bombers cannot dive. Fighters can!
"Order the Hawke-3 fighter formation to take off and carry two 50 kilogram bombs."
"yes."
"It's better to reach the sky above Yellowstone, and then head to 163, with a flight distance of about 40 kilometers. Target Japanese mountain cannons."
"yes."
Yang Lichu went to pass the order.
Soon, twelve Hawk-3 fighters took off.
According to Zhang Yong's request, he arrived above Huangshi, then headed to 163, and reached above the target.
"Discover the target!"
"Diver strafing!"
Tong Yanbo, who led the team, immediately issued an order.
Twelve fighter jets quickly rushed down and attacked the Japanese mountain cannons.
"Shit..."
"Shit..."
The machine gun fired at the ground.
A bunch of bullets passed through the Japanese mountain artillery team.
The Japanese mountain cannons were actually on the way to march. Their goal was Jiujiang.
Before, they had been bombed by a national army plane, but they were safe and sound, so they were not relieved.
Unexpectedly, the National Army's plane arrived again. And it was a fighter plane.
The fighter jet that dived down bit the Japanese mountain cannon and dropped bombs while firing.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Fifty kilogram bombs exploded continuously.
This time, a mountain cannon was finally blown up and flew up.
"Shit..."
"Shit..."
The dense machine gun fire also hit some Japanese invaders.
The Japanese mountain cannons that were hit by the air had no ability to fight back and could only dodge desperately.
The war horses pulling cannons ran around everywhere. The scene was in a mess.
"Request for emergency tactical guidance!"
“Request for emergency…”
The captain of the Japanese mountain artillery brigade could only ask for help desperately.
The Japanese infantry nearby rushed to shoot at the air with rifles and machine guns.
But it has no effect.
This time we came with a fighter, even if it was a biplane.
Follow Zhang Yong's order, after firing and dropping the bomb, retreat immediately without stopping.
The map of the air finger shows that a Japanese fighter jet takes off in Anqing.
They are all Type 97 fighters.
Very fast.
After the Japanese invaders occupied Anqing, they built the airport crazily.
Anqing Airport is only about 300 kilometers away from Hankou. The distance is very close. Fighters can arrive in 50 minutes.
If the Hawke-3 fighter does not retreat quickly, he will be caught up.
"Order the Yi-16 fighter formation to take off."
"yes."
"Round over Hankou. No more than fifty kilometers are allowed."
"yes."
Hankou Airport is busy.
One after another, the Yi-16 fighter jets took off quickly.
They formed a formation and circled over Hankou, waiting for further instructions.
Zhang Yong sighed secretly.
Instant messaging is really a hurdle!
The communication distance is only fifty kilometers.
Any distance is a little farther, he can keep the Japanese fighter jets coming and going.
Pay close attention to the empty finger map.
The Japanese fighter jets arrived at Jiujiang, then turned around and flew northwest towards Huanggang.
But after arriving in Huanggang, I immediately turned around and stopped moving forward.
Zhang Yong:...
The Japanese planes have learned their lessons!
I am not sure enough and I will never dare to come to Hankou to die again.
Tell, despise!
What kind of Bushido is said! I dare not die!
Seeing that all Japanese fighter jets returned to Anqing Airport, they had to order the Iran-16 fighter jets to return.
At this time, the Hawke fighter formation also landed safely.
Report the results of the battle. It is said that the Japanese invaders destroyed the Wumen Mountain Cannon. In fact, there are only three.
In general, the air strike effect is still not ideal. The training level of the National Air Force needs to be improved.
If you want to eliminate the Japanese mountain cannons faster and more effectively, rockets are more fast.
The radar map suddenly prompted that an acquaintance arrived.
View. It's Dubiev.
I also brought more than a dozen people. I felt that the visitor was not kind.
Sure enough, after a while, Yang Lichu quickly came in to report, her face cold.
"Commissioner, Dubiev is here."
"knew."
Zhang Yong nodded. There was no turmoil in his heart.
It's nothing. It's a trivial matter. I've learned to play Tai Chi now and can deal with it.
"Please come in!"
"good."
Yang Lichu went out.
He soon brought Dubiev in.
Zhang Yong stood up to greet him.
Sure enough, Dubiev's face was very serious, and he felt like he was coming to seek punishment.
"Zhang, you and I have a secret military affairs to discuss."
"Please sit."
Zhang Yong gestured.
Yang Lichu took the others out.
Before leaving, he glanced at Zhang Yong quietly, afraid that he would not be able to control it.
This guy is a dog-faced person. If he gets angry and turns his face, he will just chop Dubiev, which is bad.
Now the government still needs strong assistance from the Soviets, and cannot afford to offend him. Even the wife changed her plan and did not come back.
"Zhang, what do you think of our plan?"
“What plan?”
"Winter offensive in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was confused.
What is this name? I really haven't heard of it.
Isn’t it a battle in Hankou?
Why is it so complicated? A very difficult name.
"Zhang, don't pretend to be stupid..."
"Are you talking about the Hankou Battle Plan? I know this!"
"It's not the Battle of Hankou, it covers the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, including Jiujiang, and even Anqing."
"I understand. I came back to Hankou and I was specifically implementing this plan."
"Zhang, I hope your attitude is sincere."
"Of course. My attitude is sincere, just like a slutty demon seeing a peerless beauty."
"you……"
Dubiev was speechless. Then he was silent.
He cannot tell whether the other party’s metaphor is right or not. The feeling should be right.
"So, your plan..."
"I have assembled a lot of troops. There are more troops in the process of ascending."
"What combat mission are you doing just now?"
"The mountain artillery brigade that bombed the 16th Japanese division."
"The 16th Division?"
"Yes. They want to withdraw to Jiujiang. I want to intercept it. So they dispatched planes to bomb."
"I see."
"But the bombing effect is not very good. Otherwise, you can go out in person?"
"Of course we will. But not now."
"Then I'll wait."
Zhang Yong cursed inwardly.
These guys completely ignore the position of the government.
I just want the National Government to fight with the Japanese invaders and then consume the Japanese invaders. It is really becoming more and more like an agent war.
They want to keep their own people and their own planes in case of accidents.
But I wanted the country's government to fight to the death.
Alas, it feels so uncomfortable to have something to ask for!
The bald man must regret it now. In the past ten years, he has not developed the military industry well.
"Zhang, you want to destroy Anqing Airport."
"I will."
"You must take Jiujiang as fast as possible."
"I will."
"The Yangtze River channel must be blocked and the Japanese's logistics transportation lines must be cut off."
"I will."
Zhang Yong had a smile on his face and agreed.
Dubiev was finally satisfied and then said goodbye and left.
Yang Lichu gave Zhang Yong a cup of coffee. In fact, she wanted to know Zhang Yong’s true thoughts.
"you……"
"After the afternoon gathering. Prepare me for radio communication."
"do what?"
"There may be Japanese planes coming to make trouble."
"OK."
Yang Lichu went to prepare.
Zhang Yong picked up the coffee and drank it all in one go.
Then go to bed.
At 2:30 pm, I set off on time to attend the rally.
