..."Madmen, what a bunch of life-hungry madmen! Jason, now I suddenly regret following these madmen and leaving. Now, I'm afraid there will be another question mark as to whether I can go back alive to see my lovely daughter." Got it!"
Looking at the commandos who were all as excited as if they had been shot after Duan Peng raised his arms and shouted, clamoring to rush into Quzhou Airport to rob the Japanese plane, they were among the US military pilots who participated in the air raid on Tokyo. Maier couldn't help but made a few remarks.
Of course, there was more of a smile on his face.
Jason laughed from the side, "Mel, but I like this group of lunatics. It was these lunatics who broke into the Japanese military camp and rescued me!"
The two of them spoke in English, but Duan Peng and his commando team members had specially studied Japanese and English, so they could naturally understand the conversation between the two.
Duan Peng said happily: "Mel, Jason, you are just laughing at us by saying this.
You guys dare to fly a plane to the Japanese mainland and bomb other people's capital. Compared with risking your life, you are no worse at all! "
"No no no, Duan, I'm almost regretting it now! God, I almost died!"
Maier said in a very exaggerated and funny way.
Duan Peng and the team members were amused by Maier, and everyone realized that each of these Yankees seemed to be full of humor and looked like comedians.
As for opinions, a consensus was quickly reached.
Maier said without any doubt: "After grabbing the plane, the best one must be left to me!"
Duan Peng was not to be outdone: "This kind of thing cannot be done casually, Maier. Although we are friends, we still have to act on our own merits!"
Just like that, a group of lunatics, two desperate people, soon began to discuss how to use their small number of troops to go to Quzhou Airport to find a way to seize the plane under the eyes of the Japanese soldiers.
Quzhou is located in the west of Zhejiang, bordering Nanping, Fujian to the south, Shangrao and JDZ of Jiangxi to the west, AH Huangshan to the north, and intersecting with Jinhua, Lishui and Hangzhou cities in the province to the east. It is known as "the thoroughfare of four provinces and the head of five roads". Has an important strategic position.
Quzhou Airport was first built in 1933. At that time, it was only used as a civilian airport and its scale of use was very small, even so small that it could only accommodate a few aircraft.
After the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force on July 7, 1937, during the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek's Hangzhou Airport was occupied by the Japanese army.
Quzhou Airport, which was originally unknown, suddenly became very important.
As a result, the Nationalist Government began to use manpower and material resources to prepare for the expansion of Quzhou Airport. After the Japanese army became aware of Chiang's intention, they immediately sent flying troops to bomb the Quzhou Airport in an attempt to destroy it.
The two sides also launched tug-of-war after another around Quzhou Airport.
Of course, the main purpose was to use the Japanese air force against the Chiang Kai-shek Army's land force at Quzhou Airport.
Later, Jiang Jun successfully expanded Quzhou Airport at a great cost.
However, after February 1938, the Japanese army crossed the Qiantang River and marched westward along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. After the Japanese army pressed heavily on the border, Quzhou Airport was in dire straits. The general government was afraid that the Quzhou Airport would be seized and used by the Japanese army, so it quickly ordered the military and civilians to They worked together to destroy the airport in a hurry and never left it to the Japanese army.
The results are dramatic.
The Japanese were not in a hurry to seize Quzhou Airport.
After the Pacific War broke out, the Americans who were hurt by the beating finally joined the war.
As a result, the strategic position of Quzhou Airport has become increasingly important.
As a result, the Chiang Kai-shek military government began to rebuild the Quzhou Airport and requested that at least 50 American heavy bombers could be parked.
For this reason, the military and civilians in Quzhou spent a considerable price, and they shed a lot of blood and tears before rebuilding Quzhou Airport.
The importance of Quzhou Airport.
Even this time Doolittle was ordered to carry out an air raid on Tokyo, Japan. According to the instructions of his superiors, after the mission was completed, the airport where the plane temporarily landed was also Quzhou Airport.
However, a small accident occurred on the way. Doolittle and his party failed to successfully contact the radio communication department at Quzhou Airport, and finally failed to land at Quzhou Airport. However, they were pursued by the Japanese army midway and were forced to land at Quzhou Airport. Quzhou area.
The time chosen by Duan Peng and his party is also very interesting.
In North China, the Japanese army launched an unprecedented scale of May Day raids.
Aiming at the Shandong and Shanxi battlefields, a large-scale military blockade was carried out, and at the same time, it was intended to seize the Jizhong Military District, the logistics station of the Eighth Route Army.
And in Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions.
Because Doolittle and his party successfully bombed Tokyo, the capital of Japan, which severely damaged the face of the Japanese army, the Emperor was furious. Soon after, he ordered the Chinese to dispatch troops to immediately destroy all Chinese aviation aircraft along the coast of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. base.
——Lishui, Lianzhou, Yushan and other airports.
The Japanese were also afraid that Britain and the United States would use China's coastal airports as a springboard to launch air strikes on the Japanese mainland.
At the same time, it was also revenge, vowing to completely arrest the US military pilots who fled to the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions after bombing Tokyo.
Therefore, during this period of time, when Duan Peng and his party were moving covertly on the ground, they would occasionally encounter Japanese reconnaissance planes whizzing past from the sky.
The Japanese army launched continuous bombings on the coastal airports of the Chinese army in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas.
Among them, Quzhou Airport, which has a very important military strategic location, became the primary target of Japanese military bombing.
This battle was named Operation せ by the Japanese military headquarters, and was later renamed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Operation.
According to the operational plan of the Japanese China Expeditionary Force Headquarters, the 13th Army stationed in the Suhuai area launched the attack from Hangzhou.
At the same time, the Japanese 11th Army provided support from Nanchang.
Not only that, the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters specifically contacted the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces in North China, Okamura Neiji, and stated clearly in the communication:
The North China Front Army was required to send maximum troops to assist in this Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle.
The timing of this Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle was unlucky.
Okamura Neiji, an old devil, is leading the North China Front Army to launch an unprecedented large-scale May Day mopping-up operation plan against the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region!
After learning that the dispatched army headquarters decided to launch a battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi in the near future.
Okamura is also quite helpless, this is really a wave of ups and downs.
But since the headquarters had issued the order, he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
In the end, Okamura urgently summoned the chiefs of staff of all armies. After collective discussions and analysis of the battle situation, he decided:
On the premise of not affecting the battle in central Hebei, some troops from each army were temporarily dispatched to central China to assist in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle.
The situation changes rapidly.
On the Chinese battlefield.
Suddenly, there were two large-scale battles between the Chinese army and the Japanese invaders that attracted the attention of all countries in the world.
One was a head-on battle between the anti-Japanese armed forces, mainly the Chinese regular army, and the main force of the Japanese Central China Front in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region.
One was a confrontation between large-scale anti-Japanese armed forces, mainly the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese invaders behind enemy lines, affecting Shanxi, Shandong, northern Henan and even Inner Mongolia.
Once again, the Chinese used actual military actions to show the world what the blood and dignity of the Chinese descendants are.
- At least that's true on the surface.
In the hinterland of Taihang Base Area, the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
I learned that the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War broke out.
After analysis, it was found that the trigger for the outbreak of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War was the air raid on Tokyo by Doolittle and his entourage. The Eighth Route Army generals at the general headquarters were also a little dazed for a moment.
This is really beyond expectations.
When the news came, it was learned that the little devils in North China, who had originally focused all their attention on the Taihang base area and battlefields in Shandong, Inner Mongolia, and Jizhong, also dispatched troops to reinforce Central China.
The boss couldn't help but laugh and said: "In the past, we always said that when the Japs were raiding our base area, Jiang Jun always stood by and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.
But this time, we are not in the mood to say such things.
Look, our anti-mopping up operations have just begun, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has directly launched the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to indirectly support our operations on the battlefield behind enemy lines. This is a good thing!
If we win this battle, I will have to personally send a telegram to thank Chairman Chiang. "
As soon as these words came out, the conference room was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, and everyone laughed.
The Deputy Chief of General Staff smiled and said, "That's true, but if Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Madman Wang were here, I'm afraid they would still blame the Chairman!"
"Oh, Chief of Staff, what do you say?"
The deputy chief of staff laughed and said: "Li Yunlong will most likely jump out and curse. Damn it, it's just a little devil. It's not enough for us to kill ourselves!"
After the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.
But if you think about it carefully, this is really the temperament of that boy Li Yunlong.
…
international aspects.
After the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle broke out, the United States, Britain and other countries were still very happy, and they were also full of expectations for this battle.
Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, the U.S. military originally thought that the war would end soon. They would act as victors, play the role of justice, and easily defeat the Japanese invaders who made the first move.
As for the Chinese army, which has been fighting hard on the battlefield in China and has even been an ally for many years, they probably didn't think highly of it at first.
It’s just noobs pecking each other!
China's industrial system is really backward. Although Japan's domestic industrial level is much higher than that of China, it pales in comparison to the United States.
Until the outbreak of the Pacific War, the U.S. military was completely trapped in a bitter battle, and daily casualties continued to spread. Many U.S. troops were even beaten by the Japanese to become Japanese-phobic on the battlefield.
Only now did these once arrogant and arrogant soldiers truly realize the strength of their opponent, the Japanese army.
Only then did we realize what kind of powerful opponents the Chinese troops who fought hard on the Chinese battlefield were facing.
They suddenly felt admiration for the Chinese soldiers' tenacity to fight.
In particular, some war reporters from various countries filmed and interviewed the Eighth Route Army units that were constantly attacking the Japanese troops and winning battles behind enemy lines in the Chinese battlefield.
That was an amazing anti-Japanese force behind enemy lines!
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Chinese Nationalist Government followed the United States in declaring war on Japan.
Same month.
The National Revolutionary Army won the third battle of Changsha.
The United Kingdom, the United States and other countries finally realized that China, as an ally, did not seem to be useless. They were able to contain the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield for so many years, and they really paid a price for it.
After this battle.
China's international status has improved a lot.
By March 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Burma to assist the British and Burmese troops in fighting the Japanese army.
The Chinese military has officially become an indispensable force in the alliance against aggressors, and is recognized internationally.
Of course, sometimes it may not be a good thing for others to recognize you. Recognizing you requires your efforts.
It's like you need the Chinese Expeditionary Force to enter Myanmar to fight.
Just like after the victory of the Third Battle of Changsha, Britain, the United States and other countries were actually secretly urging the National Government and Mr. Chairman to strive for greater glory and contain more Japanese main forces on the Chinese battlefield, thereby indirectly slowing down the pace of the Pacific battlefield and Southeast Asia. The pressure against Japan on the battlefield.
The same is true for the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle.
...It’s just that His Excellency the Chairman, who was still far away in Chongqing, didn’t think so.
Niang Xipi, he was cursing in his office, what's the point? The US used its air force to bomb your little Japanese city of Tokyo. If you don't seek revenge from the US military, why did you come to attack our Zhejiang-Jiangxi region?
Could it be that as the old saying goes, you only pick soft persimmons?
The Chairman, who was originally calm and composed, could have sat on the Diaoyutai and watched the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese behind enemy lines to the east, and the battle between the U.S. and Japanese troops on the Pacific battlefield to the west, and occasionally paid attention to the war situation in Myanmar.
The flames of war will never affect you.
It's good now that the chairman of the committee has also been involved in this war.
At this time.
Countries around the world believe that the opportunity is perfect. On the battlefield behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army is making a fuss and the Japanese army is mobilizing an unprecedented scale of troops to carry out a large-scale sweep.
In the third battle of Changsha, Chiang Kai-shek won one victory.
If Chairman Chiang can win another round in this battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
It can really be said that the world is at peace, and the Japanese are basically on the decline.
This is a battle that countries around the world are looking forward to.
It is a battle that all Chinese people are looking forward to.
This is the battle that the Eighth Route Army is looking forward to.
This is a battle that the patriotic officers of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army are all looking forward to!
The battle was about to break out.
…
Mengxi region.
When he learned about the outbreak of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War, even Li Yunlong, who usually liked to criticize the Chairman, had to say a few words of praise: "Damn, it's interesting, these battles are all packed together. .
We, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, have finally been able to defeat each other. If both of us can win this time, this little devil can basically be said to be a grasshopper after autumn. He will not be able to jump around for a few days! "
Kong Jie just smiled at this.
What else could he say?
Did he want to tell Li Yunlong that in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle, Chiang Kai-shek's army would be defeated miserably in the end?
