Chapter 633: Takeover of the Japanese Army Field Airport in Yanzhou
"What, when did this happen when was the case for a large number of ships discovered in Nanyang Lake?" As the head of the Shandong regional secret service, Watanabe was shocked when he received the news.
The intelligence collection was not effective, Watanabe's previous commander had been removed. As the Japanese 10th Division headed south, intelligence work on the fifth war zone in Xuzhou became Watanabe's top priority.
Through multiple means such as bribery, coercion and inducement, he mastered a group of traitors, and the intelligence work on the outside was still very good, and basically built a complete system of intelligence network.
But he has not yet made much breakthrough in the information in GJ. The troops in these five war zones were all transferred from other places. No one could do it in such a short time, so he was criticized by the people above.
He was called over and scolded at any time, and scolded on the phone or message. It was nothing, but in front of him, he was scolded like a dog. He felt really uncomfortable, and his mind was almost cursed out of dark areas.
"The night before yesterday, a large fleet entered Nanyang Town. Subsequently, the water traffic in Nanyang Town was blocked, and no entry was allowed. There were a large number of GMD troops in the town. The specific unit and the number were not clear..."
Watanabe took a breath of air conditioning and felt a chill on his back.
This is a major intelligence. Ordinary people do not have the ability to allocate so many ships. Only the army and the government have this ability, and there is no news. Obviously, the organizers behind them are very powerful and are definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Of course, this is still a major intelligence error, and Watanabe is very likely to have something to do, and it is a big deal.
With a nervous mood, Watanabe called the Second Army Command.
"Moshimosi, may I ask, is General Nishio here..."
"I've gone to the airport, okay, I get it!"
Watanabe put down the phone and quickly asked for a car, got in, rushed to the airport at a speed. If this important information is not reported immediately, it will die and be ugly.
"When will it happen if Jining is lost?" Lincheng, Ryosuke Isotani received a message from his adjutant early in the morning, and Jining is lost.
"Last night."
"Why don't you report?" Akisuke Isotani was extremely angry.
"I'm afraid you're distracted by the division commander. Besides, I thought it was just a harassment attack from the GMD army, which would restrain our army's actions and the defenders could deal with it. Colonel Sakurai from Yanzhou also sent reinforcements, but there was no news..."
"Haga, where is Nagano and Kaneda, have they all died in battle?"
"Nano Nakasa may have been broken. The Kinda Detachment was ambushed by the Nakagj army on the way back to the aid. He is currently rushing to Jiaxiang to meet our troops there." The deputy said.
“How is the loss?”
"Most of them died in battle, only the small one broke through!"
"There is only Sun Yinting's unit of the third army of the GMD Army in southwestern Shandong. This unit has been defeated by the empire. How could it launch such a huge counterattack?"
"According to the Jintian army, the Chinese GJ team that ambushed them was well-equipped, highly qualified, and equipped with heavy weapons. Their outfits were different from the soldiers of the Third Army they encountered in Wuzhaishan before."
"Did they see clearly?"
"I see clearly that this army is equipped with many of our weapons, especially heavy weapons, most of which are familiar to us, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and infantry artillery, which are the main equipment of our army."
"Check it out, find out the identity of this army immediately, go quickly!" Isotani Ryosuke smelled a trace of danger, and his fear quickly spread in his heart.
"Have you let go of the Kinda army?"
"Yes, the old regiment commander, Huang Yong, scolded the ambush commander and the third regiment commander, and ordered the inspection to be written!"
"In that case, it is inevitable to be comprehensive, but the experience and lessons can be summarized. What are the casualties of the Jintian army?" Leng Feng said objectively.
"After the war, the Japanese army's bodies were almost 500, and the rest probably ran away!"
"Our identity has been almost exposed. The Japanese will guess it soon and tell the old regiment commander not to stop. The rain stops and people cannot stop. We must not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe. We must give full play to our army's advantages, fight continuously, and use the thunder to wipe out the Japanese army in western Shandong!
"Have the grandson commander arrived in Cao County?"
"I haven't received the news yet. I guess I won't arrive at noon today. It rained so heavily yesterday, so it would be difficult for them to walk on the road, so it is inevitable that they will be delayed for some time."
"Well, keep calling, report it immediately when there is any news!"
"yes!"
The transfer work of the division headquarters is almost done. The reason why Leng Feng has not ordered to leave is to wait for news from Yanzhou. If the Japanese airport cannot be completely taken down, then all the previous efforts will be wasted.
It has been almost two hours since Zhang Zhongling and the others launched the attack. Before the news came, Leng Feng felt a little anxious. The longer the time, it means that the raid war turned into a persistent, long-term war or tug-of-war, which is troublesome.
Yanzhou Japanese Airfield was a newly built field airport. However, in order to build Yanzhou into a military center, the Japanese army built a very strong field airport and had very complete facilities. According to the level of the military airport built by Japan, it should belong to the "b" category, so the airport's defense power is very strong.
Not only is there a defense force of an airport squadron, but it is also equipped with empty anti-aircraft machine guns, the airport also has a meteorological station and watchtower defense facilities.
An underground castle was built around the airport, with firepower points arranged inside, and defense was free of dead corners.
Of course, the airport facilities were not fully completed and were put into use. It was the Japanese army's eagerness to go south to Jinpu Road. Yanzhou, a field airport that was built not long after was forced to be put into use.
This gave Qiao Guoliang's group who attacked the airport a chance to get a chance.
The underground castle was not built, and it was completely exposed to the troops attacking the airport after heavy rain. Although there was a drainage system, there was still a lot of water in the underground castle. The low-lying places were no longer covered, and there was no way to get in.
This rain is really good. Otherwise, it would be enough for Qiao Guoliang to drink a pot of this unfinished castle. At least it would take a lot of effort to get rid of these castles.
Major Inoue lost contact, and the Japanese army in Jining sent one after another to ask for help. Lao Sakurai found that the situation was serious, but he wanted to save his mistake. He did not immediately notify Isotani Risuke, but instead issued an order to the Japanese army stationed in Wenshang, ordering the Japanese army stationed in Wenshang to send troops to Jining, and at the same time mobilizing the Japanese army in the surrounding areas to be ready to rush to help again.
But a heavy rain disrupted all deployments.
Until the early morning, he received a telegram from Nagano that was occupied by Jining City.
Lao Sakurai was so scared that he quickly informed the news to Ryosuke Isotani in Lincheng. At the same time, he also wanted to report to the Jinan Second Army Command and requested to send troops to reinforce.
For a moment, the Japanese army was disturbed by this news.
Commander Suichi Deanuchi, the commander of the North China, was also alarmed and called the Second Army Headquarters to inquire about the situation. Nishio Deano is about to return to Tokyo to perform. The newly appointed commander Prince Minami Kanuki has not yet entered the role and is a little unaware of the situation.
Chief of Staff Suzuki was familiar with the situation, but he didn't know which part of the team ZGJ suddenly appeared in Jining City. He didn't know anything about it, and there was no news.
The Wuhan spy team also started to move urgently. After searching, they did not find out what troops GJ had recently sent to the southern Shandong area.
However, I found some news of increasing troops to the Xuzhou area.
This is not good news for the Japanese army. China continues to increase its troops, obviously in order to engage in a large-scale battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou.
Now there are more than 20,000 people surrounding the Segaya Detachment, and it has been fiercely fighting for a day and night. The encirclement has become tighter and tighter. Although the Segaya Detachment has received airdrop supplies and can last for three or five days, if there are no reinforcements, it will only be a matter of time before the defeat of Segaya Detachment will be a matter of time.
Whether it is the Second Army or the North China Front Army, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the elite of the Fifth Division of the Seya Detachment be eaten up like this.
More than 10,000 people from the two mixed brigades drawn from the Kwantung Army went south urgently!
The Japanese army was very active and could no longer keep it secret. The news of the two mixed brigades of the Kwantung Army heading south was soon passed to the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone through the Military Control Commission.
Li Delin approached the information and informed Leng Feng as soon as possible.
The two mixed brigades of the Kwantung Army must have taken the train south. This is the fastest, but it takes three days at the fastest. From assemble to getting on the train, even if the train continues all the way, it will take at least two days to go from Northeast to Shandong.
The Segu Detachment had to hold on at least five days in Taierzhuang before waiting for reinforcements. Of course, the fastest speed was to land from Qingcheng and come over.
But it is still unknown what decisions will be made in Japan.
Li Delin meant that he wanted to solve the problem of Segu Detachment within five days, which was consistent with the deadline for annihilation of Segu Detachment given by Jiang Jiang.
This requires honoring the First Division to block the Japanese army in Yanzhou area and delay the time when the Japanese army marched south.
"It's been three hours since the teacher's seat. Do you want it..."
"No, the more we urge, the more likely they will make mistakes. We must believe that Zhang Zhongling and Qiao Guoliang can solve the problem." Leng Feng was still a little anxious inside, but he still had to remain calm on the surface.
This is a process that needs to be experienced and adapted as a commander.
To command such a large army, you must consider all aspects. The art of command, psychological quality, etc. are a test.
"Teacher's seat, call from Guide Airport. The lady's plane has landed safely and is waiting for our news!" Guo Weiquan walked in with a telegram.
"What's the news in Wuhan?"
"The news came from the Military Control Commission that Mr. Jiang was angry and angry, but now that things have come to this, he can only agree to our plan."
"This time it's thanks to Mrs. Jiang. However, the airport has not been taken yet. I'm a little worried. Let's take a step!" Leng Feng said with concern.
"The division seat, the 39th Brigade was urgently fired. The Japanese Yanzhou military airport has been taken down by our army. The airport equipment and aircraft are basically intact. Most of the Japanese airport squadrons were wiped out by us, and the Japanese pilots and ground crew were also controlled by our army."
"Are any Japanese planes taking off?"
"There are people who want to take off, but they were stopped before they can get some time. Qiao Guoliang first attracted the attention of the Japanese airport squadron, and then sent someone to sneak in from the other side, taking up the machine den, oil depot and ammunition depot."
"How come it took so long?" Leng Feng asked strangely.
"The Japanese army resisted stubbornly in facilities such as the dispatching building and meteorological observatory. These buildings are made of steel and concrete, and are very strong. They do not have heavy weapons at hand and cannot break the defense. They can only break through after the heavy artillery is transported up later, so it took a little longer!"
“So that’s the case, why not report it?”
"I guess they wanted to completely take the airport and report it. They would report it before the battle was over. If there was a mistake, they would not be able to afford the responsibility." Xie Jiyuan explained for them.
"Well, let's forget it this time, I won't be the case!" Leng Feng's heart finally fell down.
"You can inform the third brigade of this news and ask them to take off immediately and take over the Japanese field airport in Yanzhou!" Leng Feng ordered.
"yes!"
