Chapter 157 Langfang Fights
Shanxi, Taiyuan, North Airport
The humble airport was already full, and the team welcomed the team with a long banner "Warmly welcome the Nineteenth Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War in the Southwest". Read novels on your mobile phone and update \\! {-
-} (Qihang Fiction ~ Wangkan Fiction) is a man in a uniform, with guards standing around him. The man's face is light and light, and he can't see the depth.
Yan Xishan, director of the Shanxi Appeasement Office, is also known as the King of Shanxi. Graduates of the Japanese Army Sergeant School's sixth period, the Qing Dynasty Army Infantry Division's personnel, alliance members, organized and led the Taiyuan Xinhai Uprising. Be regarded as an old man of the Kuomintang.
"I'm coming"
From time to time, there was a roar in the sky to the south, and then I saw a large plane that had never been seen in Shanxi flew from the sky. The humble north airfield did not even have a navigation building. The plane circled, and after seeing a signal from the ground personnel to land, it aimed at the runway and landed in one breath. The landing of a huge aircraft by a skilled pilot is much stronger than the landing of a biplane by a Shanxi pilot.
"Director, the plane in the southwest is really big enough." A servant next to Yan Xishan whispered, "When I was abroad two years ago, I only saw such a large plane occasionally. The military ’s advanced transport aircraft. "
Yan Xishan nodded. He was quite satisfied with the attendant who had just returned from studying in the West, because he was different from the old people, he had a new perspective, and he had a better understanding of new things in the world. This time it is good to be able to unite to the north to fight against Japan. As long as they don't mess up, we will follow the order of the central government and try our best to cooperate. "
After the plane landed, the crowd welcomed the applause. The huge plane looked a lot more powerful than the old planes parked on the lawn of the airport. The planes in Shanxi, many wooden planes with double wings, are too risky for training, and they ca n’t fly too far, but today, the welcome crowd organized by Shanxi Appeasement Office saw them flying thousands of miles from the southwest. Coming big plane.
This relatively awkward aircraft was named "ZH-31" and internally named "Moving Mountain." This is the first specially designed transport plane in Southwest China. Unlike previous transport planes modified with the H-1 or H-2, this new type of transport is specially designed for tactical transportation in the military field. The specially reinforced bilge design, the quadruple "Kunlun" engine with increased horsepower, and the bloated cabin make people wonder whether it can fly.
The ZH-31 military transport aircraft was a transport aircraft development plan launched in 1926. During the Sino-Myanmar War, transportation in the southwest was stretched, mobilizing almost all bombers to temporarily serve as transport forces, and delaying the launch of the battle by a night For half a month. At that time, the development plan of a special-purpose tactical military transport aircraft was included in the key military research project.
This new transport aircraft, which has been successfully developed over the past five years, has a maximum flight speed: 390 km / h, a cruise speed: 280 km / h, a maximum range: 2800 km, and a practical ceiling: 7,500 meters. The standard crew has four people and a capacity of 45 people. The quad-engine has ensured the load capacity, and the airframe design of the new structure and new material guarantees the load-bearing capacity, which has reached 4.2 tons, which is stronger than that of the H-2 bomber Many are just enough to transport a standard company with only basic combat weapons.
This type of aircraft is relatively advanced, and compared with Western countries, it is not too lenient. For example, in the United States, a C-47 transport aircraft with twin engines was produced during the same period. Because of the structural design of the aircraft, the use of materials and costs, other technical indicators are good, but the load and crew are not as good as ZH-31. Type transport aircraft has a carrying capacity of less than 30 people. Southwest China's 31-year-old transport aircraft uses an all-metal structure. In addition to the new alloy steel as the main structure, it also uses some new aluminum alloys. While reducing the weight of the aircraft, it also ensures the aircraft's load and safety and stability.
In a year and a half, at night, its actual production volume reached 50 aircraft. In 1931, the production line was just installed. The production speed of this type of aircraft was extremely slow. Even if the aircraft was manufactured in assembly line, the production speed of the aircraft was very slow. Only two aircraft could be completed in a month. Later, due to the outbreak of the Northeast 917 incident, The demand for this type of transport aircraft is even more prominent. The Southwest People's Army has an unprecedented demand for military force projection at medium and long distances. The army would hunt more if it was not higher up-front.
After the plane had stopped, the rear hatch was opened. A group of Southwestern soldiers wearing a 31-year-old new camouflage, led by a major officer, only equipped with a pistol, and ran to the front of the welcome crowd.
"Director, if the Southwest Army is just about military capacity and momentum, I am afraid that even the French Army that I have seen in France, known as the number one in the world, cannot match. Perhaps only the New German Army that I saw in Germany can be compared. And, These soldiers don't seem to be combatants. "It was also the first time that the attendants saw the formed southwestern soldiers. Unlike the photos, the visual impact was greater.
"The Southwest Army has a momentum, and Shanxi cannot be defeated."
For a long time, Yan Xishan uttered such a sentence, and to the point where he saw it, we saw a lot of things from this small army. It seems that the reports in the newspapers have not been false for a long time, and the Southwest does have a very powerful military force.
"Have a break, Lizheng"
After the major had lined up, he ran to the front of Yan Xishan and others, and chanted, "The Southwest People's Army Air Force 203 ground crew was ordered to arrive at the North Airfield."
"Welcome, welcome, Southwest's determination to resist Japan is a blessing for the Chinese. Yan Xishan, my humble fellow, welcomes the arrival of the Southwest Army on behalf of his fellow folks in Shanxi."
Yan Xishan knew that it was too far from the southwest, and Zhang Shusheng wanted to send troops to the north, only to turn around from somewhere. After he called in Nanjing, he knew that the other party would send a group of leading troops northward by air. Later, the large troops would enter the Shanxi Province from the Sichuan-Shanxi Highway that had just opened at the beginning of the year.
The subsequent handover ceremony was relatively simple. The North Airfield was not an amazing place for Yan Xishan at all. Under the national attention, the airport was loaned to the Southwest Army to use it instead. After all, once the Japanese invaded Pingjin and invaded Hebei, his Shanxi was at stake. He is also preparing for the Anti-Japanese War. However, his preparation is more limited to defending Shanxi, and the area of ​​Gongwei and Pingjin is unthinkable for the time being. For the North Airfield, he only sent a battalion's "defense force" to provide care, as long as the soldiers in the southwest did not attack Shanxi and follow their aircraft how to fly.
After arriving at the airport, the ground force and engineering personnel of the Southwest Air Force quickly began their work. First, they unloaded several key equipment carried by the aircraft. Because there was no heavy-duty handling machinery, they could only carry heavy communications and command equipment. Arrived at the airport's only two-story old building. And some airport-specific equipment such as meteorological equipment, indicator lights, and signal lights have also been installed.
Next, when the second ZH-31 transport plane landed, a very important batch of quick-setting cement was unloaded. The old runway, which has been in disrepair for many years, is already uneven, and urgent repairs are needed. Although this advanced ZH-31 transporter claims to be able to land on lawns, it is under infrequent landing conditions. Repairing the runway, laying the tarmac, etc. are urgent matters.
In the morning of the third day, after taking off and landing over a dozen sorties, the North Airport finally had the conditions for a large fleet to take off and land.
Chengdu, Shuangliu military airport.
"Comrades, as the first Southwest People's Army to go northward, you have a huge historical mission. The situation of joint anti-Japanese war will begin from the moment you step on the battlefield.
At this time, the current enemy, political differences, regional differences, and ethnic differences must all be put down, unifying Japan, and preventing the Japanese aggression is the current major issue. Take the entire nation as the country and protect everyone's country with everyone's strength.
泱泱 Zhonghua, a 5,000-year-old heritage cannot be destroyed in our generation. In the ancient times, there was General Qi Jiguang who killed the puppets, and today there will also be soldiers in the southwestern iron soldiers who destroyed the pirates. The survival of the nation and the security of the race need to be defended with steel guns in your hands.
I am looking forward to you for the coming battle. I hope that you will defend the country and expel the Japanese invaders for the purpose of defending the country and the people and defending the country. "
On the airport square, Zhang Shusheng stood on the school reading stand in an outfit and spoke these brief words impassionedly. He knew that for these soldiers who were about to board the plane to the north, there was no need to say anything, they were already murderous.
Chen Jun and other third division military and political chiefs were present at the scene. The first to advance to the north was the Dai Anlan regiment. The third regiment that was not yet full had nearly 4,000 people. Each soldier clenched the Chinese-style semi-automatic rifle in his hand and even the 26-year-old submachine gun. Everyone does n’t carry much. The tactical bag contains enough magazines for a battle.
In addition, everyone brought a battlefield first-aid kit unique to Southwest China. This seemingly inconspicuous first-aid kit has miraculous effects on hemostasis and suppression of wound deterioration, and is regarded as a life-saving thing by every soldier.
"The flag-giving ceremony begins"
With the order of the military commander, Dai Anlan, the commander of the Third Regiment, quickly ran to the colonel's platform and saluted Zhang Shusheng. "Reporting Chief, Dai Anlan, Head of the Third Division of the Third Division, reports to you!"
Zhang Shusheng's impression of Dai Anlan is still good. No matter his performance in history or today, he can be regarded as a model for Southwest soldiers. He took a banner from the commander and handed it to Dai Anlan. It is said that the flag-giving ceremony should only be held after the victory of the battle, but I have full confidence in you, and this time I will definitely show satisfaction to 40 million people. This is a banner of iron blood, and the three regiments are pioneers, let it Fly in front of Pingjin. "
"Yes" Dai Anlan took the banner in excitement, shook it away towards the third group of soldiers below, and saw the bright red flag with the words 'Iron Blood Group' written on it.
"The flag is in the people, the battlefield is dead"
The three regiments below were also excited and shouted in a loud voice: "The flag is in the people, the battle is dead."
After the ceremony, Chen Jun walked to the front of the army and yelled, "Everyone has it, take a rest, stand upright. The third division and the third regiment will start boarding."
The huge Chengdu Shuangliu military airport was built after the resumption of Chengdu. At that time, considering the need to regain Shaanxi or the northwestern part of the country as a key airport, it was well-equipped and the airport construction level was absolute first in China, and Kunming Airport and Guangzhou Bao'an Airport, Guangxi Fangcheng Port Border Control Airport, etc. are a class.
Three ZH-31 transport planes have already been parked on the runway. The rear cabin door has been opened, waiting for the men with blood to board the plane. The soldiers of the third regiment quickly divided into one company, the three companies first boarded, and the remaining companies ran to the transport aircraft parked on the tarmac and boarded the plane.
"Tower, number 01 requests takeoff."
"Agree to take off"
After receiving the take-off order, the previous aircraft on the runway began to slide, the engine gradually started, the propeller turned, and the speed became faster and faster. Then the sound of the engine became louder and louder. As soon as the pilot pulled the joystick, the aircraft was taxiing. After a few hundred meters, he slightly raised his head and left the ground, rushing into the air quickly.
Dai Anlan was the first group of people to board the plane. Looking at the sky outside the porthole and the vast land below, he could not help but feel a good country. He has made all mental preparations for this expedition to Pingjin.
With a voyage of less than three hours, the plane quickly reached Taiyuan and landed at the North Airport.
After consolidating the situation in Tianjin on May 3, the Japanese army quickly launched a fierce attack in the direction of Langfang. Although the 19th Division of Chen Cheng was not the first central elite division, it was definitely not the previous KMT army. ratio.
The army was uniformly equipped with Lienfield-style rifles produced by the British, and equipped with new grenades produced by the Nanjing Arsenal. The level of mortars and heavy machine guns reached the level of the Japanese Standing Division. Even on the artillery that was most detrimental to the Chinese, Chiang Kai-shek has equipped the dozens of leading central elite divisions with the same 105mm new artillery. Unfortunately, the artillery tube factory of this artillery is still under construction, and the artillery steel factory is also under construction in Hefei. The 19th Division uses goods from the British inventory, but compared with the Japanese army, it is at least among the middle .
All in all, the 19th Division in Langfang is definitely not the former Soft-foot Shrimp Kuomintang army. The battalion-level leaders are modern military talents graduated from places such as Huangpu Military Academy or Baoding Military Academy. For potential internal reasons, Jiang Jieshi The elite division's training is very attentive. The uniform French army instructors in the army, standardized equipment, and standardized training have given these batches of Chiang Kai-shek's ace troops a level of reluctance to fight the southwest. It can also be regarded as the biggest dependency of Chiang Kai-shek in the dark clouds of the civil war these years.
Under the command of division commander Cai Tingguang, the 18th Division broke out with the Japanese 16th Division that launched the offensive with a temporary lack of air support.
Gao Feng, the chief of staff of the third division (graduated at Huaxia Military Academy, served as the deputy head of the second brigade of the Second Regiment of the Aboriginal Regiment, and the deputy head of the eighth division of the Weiying division) arrived in Beiping Nanyuan Airport by special aircraft and was greeted by Chen Cheng.
"Welcome and welcome. Chief Chen, Chief of Staff Gao and Chief Dai, for some of them, the resignation has been a long-awaited name, your army can lead the Department to go north to help, Gaoyi is comparable to the ancients."
At Nanyuan Airport, a senior officer of the 18th Route Army headed by Chen Cheng arrived to greet Dai Anlan, commander of the 19th Army's Third Regiment. Chen Cheng didn't seem to realize the political differences between the two sides. The leader who was several levels lower than him became enthusiastic.
"Chairman Chen Jun is polite. He is just a in the army. How can he bother Chen Jun. He is worried. Now that the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is urgent, we should go to a combat meeting first." In the case of a tight battle, Chen Cheng also came to the airport to meet himself, Chen Jun Instead of feeling honored, I felt a little uncomfortable. He also knows that this is not to blame Chen Cheng, because this kind of thing is the style of the Kuomintang army.
"Okay, of course. Of course. Your army will be here in two days. Some things are better settled first."
That night, the joint combat meeting of the 18th Army and the 19th Army was held in Peiping. As if the gunfire in Langfang was close at hand, the occasional Japanese air strike bombs let Chen Jun, Gao Feng, Dai Anlan and others Feel the atmosphere before the war.
There has been a huge panic in Peiping. Even if the soldiers at the Security Command maintain order, there is still a greater panic.
The Japanese air raids gradually passed over Langfang and came to the ancient city of Peiping.
Chen Cheng walked in front of the huge battle map ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and solemnly introduced Chen Jun and Dai Anlan who just arrived: "The current situation is very grim. In the face of the standing 16th Division of the Japanese Army, the Although the 19th Division has fought hard, it has already revealed its defeat. And the name of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army has also appeared on the line of fire. It is expected that they will join the second division in the night soon. Langfang fighting.
The movement of their third division is unknown. According to predictions, it is very likely that the 19th Division will be surrounded and annihilated. Therefore, even if your 19th Route Army cannot keep up, we will support Langfang tomorrow. "
"Three Japanese divisions, the nineteenth division is in trouble."
Chen Jun frowned. If the 19th Division was eaten first by the Japanese, Beiping would probably be eaten by the Japanese.
For the 19th Division of the Kuomintang, he is still clear, saying that he cannot fight, and that the enemy was not objective before the war. The most objective problem is that the Japanese division ’s offensive momentum was too fierce.
"One day, it only takes one day to close the night, and my third regiment can join the battle the next morning." Dai Anlan stood up suddenly and said angrily: "The Japanese army is too rampant, this time they must hit them with a stick . "
