When the commanders left the headquarters, they all felt enlightened.
Each one expressed some praise and exclamation to Kong Jie's empty city plan before waving goodbye.
Ding Wei and Li Yunlong got into the car and got into the car that Kong Jie was taking this time to return to the base.
This made Kong Jie couldn't help but tease: "I'm talking about the two big group leaders. It's not like you two groups don't have cars. You still use my car every day. Why, you can't even pay for gas?"
Li Yunlong said: "How can it be the same? If you eat your own food, you don't eat the taste of others. Besides, you, Lao Kong, are lucky. The car you are riding in is owned by the Japanese division commander.
We, Lao Li, were not so lucky. We only captured a broken car in which the leader of the Japanese Brigade was riding.
How can the car be as comfortable as yours, Lao Kong? "
"That's right, Lao Kong, you are not such a stingy person. Why, your old comrade is not happy to ride in your car?" Ding Wei agreed with a smile.
Kong Jile said: "Sit down, sit down, old comrade-in-arms, of course I welcome you in the car. If you really like it, I will send one to each of you later."
Ding Wei immediately said with a vigilant look on his face: "No, Lao Kong, I'm afraid your purpose of sending the car is not pure, right?"
Kong Jie said: "Look at what you said, are we, Lao Kong, that kind of person? I don't want more. I heard that Lao Cui recently led the R&D team to build a chemical production line. I was thinking, if you put If you transfer this production line to me, my car will be given to you."
"Stop it, Captain Kong, this car of yours is too precious. One car can be replaced by a production line. I, Ding Wei, am not so lucky. You should just keep it to yourself!" Ding Wei quickly refused.
The three old comrades laughed together.
Following the route, the three of them first arrived at the outer line of Ding Wei's new regiment base.
Ding Wei then extended the invitation, "It's not polite to reciprocate. We can't let our old comrades laugh at us for being stingy. Lao Kong, you invite me to ride in the car, and I invite you to sit at the regiment headquarters and buy you a drink. How about it?"
Li Yunlong on the side was not happy, "I said, Old Ding, you are not interesting enough. Together with me, Old Li, don't you deserve to drink this drink from you?"
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Come on, when did you, Lao Li, come to my place and treat yourself as an outsider? You dug your head into my regiment and went straight through the boxes and cabinets looking for wine. I think you are more comfortable than me!"
Hahaha--
"What's this called? This is called old comrade-in-arms. I heard that you, Old Ding, pestered Political Commissar Cui and set up a wine-making production line. There are all good wines hidden in your kid's place. If I don't drink yours, who should I drink? "
"Then let's go together. It just so happens that our three old comrades haven't had a drink together for a long time. The end of this war is the time to relax."
Ding Wei extended the invitation again.
Li Yunlong naturally agreed happily.
Kong Jie shook his head and said with a stern face: "Old Ding, I accept your wishes regarding drinking. You and Lao Li go and drink!
Our situation is different, we are no longer free people, alas, alas—"
He sighed with a long sigh.
Li Yunlong: "..."
Ding Wei: "..."
Li Yunlong got out of the car with a dark face, pulled Ding Wei away, and said without looking back: "Old Ding, let's go drinking without Lao Kong, damn, this kid is so annoying, no Did you just get a wife one step ahead of us? She carries her like a baby in her arms all day long, and doesn’t let anyone see her, that’s virtue!”
Ding Wei said: "Hey, Lao Li, although I am an old comrade in arms, I can wear a pair of trousers, but there are some things I have to say up front. If I marry my wife, I have to hide it well and not let others see it casually. .”
Kong Jie, who also got out of the car to see off his two old comrades, couldn't help but laugh.
Li Yunlong said with a look of disdain: "Look at how petty you two are. If we, Lao Li, want to catch a lot of Japanese women on the battlefield, we can catch them, but no one of us has taken a fancy to them. You two are showing off!"
Having said that, it doesn't matter if I say that Lao Kong is showing off, he really has a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower.
I said Ding Big Nose, why are you pretending to be a hero here? As for your future wife, I don’t know which mother’s belly she’s in! "
Ha ha ha ha--
The three of them laughed again and exchanged pleasantries for a while before saying goodbye. Kong Jie got in the car again, while Ding Wei and Li Yunlong went together to have a drink at the new regiment headquarters.
A team headquarters.
At night, the lights in the house are like beans,
Captain Kong and his wife whispered.
Talking about the empty city plan in Licheng.
Shen Wenyue expressed her admiration, with admiration shining in her beautiful eyes, "You generals are really powerful. A large-scale battle has begun. From the battle of wits and courage between the two sides before the war, to the passive situation and the means of breaking the situation when the war started, to the passive situation and means of breaking the situation, to In the end, the real picture is clear, and the victory or defeat is determined.
I don’t know how many thrills and thrills are mixed in this.
But you are still able to calmly and calmly deal with it with ease, find ways to deal with difficulties, and face difficulties head on. This kind of pride and grace cannot be accurately captured and described in words! "
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Academics have specializations, and this is what we do. If a commander is not good at fighting, can he be called a commander?"
...a night of silence.
When Kong Jie arrived the next day, Xu Guoan, Li Wenjie, and Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, and Cui Zhengwei, who also came to the temporary headquarters to participate in war analysis, all arrived.
"Lao Kong, you are so proud. So many of us are here, waiting for you!"
As Li Yunlong spoke, he looked around Kong Jie, and then said cheerfully: "Yeah, but that's understandable. After all, it's not easy for us, old Kong, now. We have to fight when we get home! Everyone Look, how exhausted is this man?"
"Fuck you!" Kong Jie scolded with a smile.
The gay men couldn't help but laugh.
Then returning to the topic, everyone started to discuss the current situation with the battle map in front of them.
Still fighting around Licheng.
Ding Wei said: "Lao Kong, according to the suggestion you made at the headquarters, we will not only occupy Licheng but also abandon Licheng this time. We will use this strategy to wipe out all the people and materials in the five cities of Licheng, leaving only Little Devil is a lonely county town.
Now that the people are gone, we have no worries and can let go and have a hearty battle with the little devils in Licheng!
According to our understanding of the Little Devils, if the Little Devils launch an offensive in the face of the crisis in Licheng, considering that the Japanese army has just experienced the disastrous defeat of the May Day raids, and the mobile troops in North China have basically been damaged, In the Mengxi area.
In a short period of time, the Japanese could not mobilize too many mobile troops to attack the city.
So I think that if the Japs attack Li City, they will probably mainly rely on their air power. "
At this point, Ding Wei expressed concern: "Licheng, Shexian, Xiangyuan and other five cities are not considered big counties. If the Japanese are really cruel and mobilize a large amount of aerial firepower to carry out bombing.
Now think about it, Lao Kong, if it hadn't been for the empty city strategy you proposed to move the people away in advance, the casualties among our soldiers and civilians would have been huge. "
"Damn, you little sons of bitches, what do they have left except a few broken planes now?" Li Yunlong cursed a few times.
Kong Jie said: "Old Ding is right, if the Japanese want to deal with Licheng, they will definitely use the aviation force!
Therefore, our battle in Licheng this time will most likely be an air battle.
We have to consider the Japanese air strike force. According to my speculation, the Japanese air force from North China and Central China will definitely come.
As for whether the Japanese flying troops from further east China will come, I can't say.
But we are not afraid, but just in case, we still have to make adequate defenses.
To put it bluntly, if the battle surrounding Licheng this time is our main battle with the Japanese air force, I wonder if we can use this battle to inflict heavy damage and even destroy the Japanese army in North China, Central China, and possibly East China. aviation force.
This will severely weaken the Japanese aviation strike force in our territory of China! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Ding Wei even echoed: "Lao Kong, your idea is very bold, but it does sound exciting. I think this is the most appropriate goal for this battle."
"It's best to shoot down all the Japanese fighter planes!" Li Yunlong said.
Kong Jie said: "In this regard, the boss and the others have also made arrangements. In accordance with the wishes of the headquarters, air defense troops will be deployed uniformly in the Licheng area this time.
Concentrate the air defense firepower of each field force, key air defense firepower, and the air defense units directly under the headquarters around Licheng, secretly deploy electrical reconnaissance troops in the mountainous areas outside Licheng, and divide all airspace around Licheng into radar detection areas to divide air defense force operations .
All field air defense troops are stationed in permanent air defense positions, waiting for combat opportunities. "
Construction of these field air defense fortifications began quickly after the Eighth Route Army soldiers captured Li City.
The main consideration was to allow the air defense troops to conduct air defense evasion, so the whole project was not too big. In addition, the construction was started at night, avoiding the eyes of the Japanese army, and the Japanese were not aware of the situation.
After Licheng was captured, out of the people's support and love for the Eighth Route Army, almost all the people in the Licheng area were mobilized.
The common people coming and going on the street may become the eyes of the Eighth Route Army at any time. It is even more difficult for Japanese spies to penetrate them.
So it was basically a case of blindness, unable to detect any useful information.
The Eighth Route Army could completely use this to conceal the truth and secretly infiltrate Chen Cang.
If it were not based on this, Kong Jie would not have proposed the empty city plan.
“The bunker can house Japanese-made Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns, American-made 12.7mm high-speed machine guns, American-made 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, and Oerlikon 20 anti-aircraft guns.
In addition, we can imitate the military, renovate the turrets, turn them into air defense towers, install fire control radars, and make air defense command centers. We can move the newly purchased Soviet-made 76 anti-aircraft guns and 85 anti-aircraft guns up and replace them with electric gun mounts.
Long-range anti-aircraft guns for key air defenses were seized at various airports and deployed secretly. Type 99 88mm anti-aircraft guns, improved Taisho 14-type 105mm anti-aircraft guns, and four-year-old trial-produced 75mm anti-aircraft guns were all displayed...to give to the Japanese. Let's learn a lesson and let the little devils know that even if they have air supremacy, they can't be as rampant as they want! "
Speaking of this, Kong Jie also mentioned an episode.
"Old Maozi is kind on the surface, but he is also shrewd secretly. When these old boys sell us equipment, sometimes it is a complete set of equipment, but he just keeps some equipment stuck and does not sell the complete set to us.
Looking back, we noticed something was wrong. When we went to buy it again, they sold it at a high price. Do you want it? If you don’t want that set of equipment, it will become useless. If you want it, you will have to pay a high price to buy it! "
Ding Wei echoed: "It is indeed unambiguous that Maozi is trying to trick us!"
After this series of air defense deployments, confidence appeared on the faces of the generals.
In this way, even if the Japanese use a large amount of air power to bomb Licheng, the Eighth Route Army will still have enough counterattack force.
Maybe it's like what Kong Jie said.
"With the help of the empty city strategy set up this time, we will use the secretly deployed air defense firepower to completely severely damage the Japanese aviation force! It is best to eliminate the threat of Japanese aviation firepower to our Eighth Route Army in the next few years!"
"But that doesn't seem to be enough."
Kong Jie finally revealed his trump card, "In fact, the best way to deal with the Japanese fighter jets is not our anti-aircraft firepower.
what is it then?
It is our flying army that also fights needle-point against needle-point and wheat awn against wheat awn. "
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Lao Kong, you don't mean to use your secretly built aviation force to fight against the Japanese flying force, right?"
"That's exactly the plan!"
Kong Jie nodded, and then took out a document he had prepared regarding the combat plan of an aviation unit.
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang, and Cui Zhengwei quickly got together to watch.
In this battle plan, Kong Jie described in detail a series of deployments and arrangements for this battle from pre-war to post-war.
Of course, Kong Jie has his own principles, and professional matters should be left to professionals. This combat plan for the aviation unit was prepared by the staff of a team, together with Doolittle and his entourage, and with the infantry on the ground. This is the plan that was finally decided upon.
"I prepared two copies of this plan at the time, one of which was submitted to the headquarters at the end of the previous meeting!"
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, who finished browsing in one breath, all sighed.
Ding Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, "Now our Eighth Route Army can also conduct air force operations! Okay, this battle will definitely be earth-shattering and enough to shock the whole world!"
Li Yunlong said: "Old Kong, please see if there are any spare positions in your aviation force establishment. Why don't you get me a fighter jet, and we, Old Li, can join the war too!"
"Come on, Lao Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to fly a plane if I give you one!" Ding Wei said directly.
Li Yunlong scolded: "Fart, Ding Big Nose, don't underestimate me, it's just an airplane. We, Old Li, can fly it as soon as we get started. How do you think we got the title of all-rounder?"
The participation of flying troops in the battle made the generals excited...
