"Is this the airborne force of the Eighth Route Army? It looks so luxurious!"
Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.
Although Chen Jieshan heard some gossip about the Marine Regiment from the Second War Zone, he was still shocked after seeing Yunlong descending from the sky.
After all, airborne and airborne troops can only be afforded by established military powers in the current era. This method of combat is really unbelievable to Guo Preserved.
"Old Dong! You and the brothers from the 101st Division are following me! Hurry up and meet the friendly support troops."
"Lao Yuan and Lao Sun, your 31st and 32nd Divisions are responsible for the security. Immediately occupy the nearby favorable terrain. You must not let the Japanese disturb the commander's medical treatment."
"Quick! Everyone move!"
After Qiluban fell ill, Chen Jieshan temporarily took over the command of the army.
Although he was still filled with emotions, the situation of his eldest brother at this time no longer allowed anyone to waste time.
Under the leadership of several senior officers, the remnants of the 35th Army demonstrated strong execution capabilities.
Among them, the soldiers of the 31st and 32nd Division spread out and established a five-kilometer-diameter warning circle with their commander as the center. The 500 soldiers of the 101st Division pulled carts towards the landing of the landing group. Click to run.
Those who have persisted until now are the elites of the Eighth War Zone, and the above arrangement is not difficult for them.
Ten minutes later, Chen and Dong met our leader Li Da under the guidance of Zhang Dabiao.
"Hello, Commander Li, I am Chen Jieshan, the commander of the Yimeng garrison. This is the commander of the 101st Division of the 35th Army. Thank you very much for coming all the way to support us."
"If there is anything you can do to help, just ask. The soldiers who came with me are at your disposal. Our entire army will cooperate with your work."
"I would like to ask if your troops carry any medicine."
Facts have proved that Chen Jieshan really remembered his elder brother's advice. As a well-known lieutenant general in the Republic of China, his sincerity and attitude are definitely sufficient.
As for military power, he knew that the other party would definitely not want it, so he just went along with it and was polite.
After all, the two sides have different arms and tactics. If the joint command is mixed together, the combat effectiveness will not increase but decrease.
Li Yunlong was a little puzzled at first. In his impression, Qi Luban was not a show-off person. There was no way he would not come out to greet the opponent after running thousands of miles to support him.
But after hearing the word medicine, Lao Li immediately understood that he must be in trouble. Moreover, the command of the army was actually given to Chen Jieshan, so he was most likely seriously ill.
"Commander Chen, please rest assured that our regiment not only carries a large amount of medicines, but also has experienced military doctors accompanying the army."
"Since Commander Fu's situation is not very good, let's skip the polite words and get down to business. There is no need to talk about military power. I believe in the strength of your eighth theater."
After speaking, Li Yunlong directly waved to the medical team at the rear and asked them to take the medical kit prepared in advance and set off with him.
Before leaving, he said to Mr. Dong:
"In addition to weapons and medicine, our group also brought a large number of cans. I will leave the distribution to you."
······
When everyone came to Qi Lu and a half, the other party opened his eyes with great difficulty. Although he was out of coma, his whole body was shaking all the time.
After seeing the friendly support troops appear, he held the guard's arm and stood up forcibly to shake hands with Li Yunlong, but soon fell down due to lack of physical strength.
"Captain Li, I made you laugh."
"Now I feel as if I have fallen into an ice cave, shivering with cold. At other times, I feel like I am living in a steamer, and it is extremely hot. In the world of ice and fire, I really don't have the strength to entertain you."
"On behalf of the Eighth War Zone, I would like to thank you for your generous donation."
Qi Lu and a half's condition far exceeded Li Yunlong's imagination. Seeing the other party's frail appearance, he quickly waved to the doctors in the medical class to start consultation.
As the most luxurious unit in the army, the medical class of the 1st Marine Regiment includes Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and they are all experienced senior doctors.
After a short diagnosis, the comrades said solemnly:
"Captain, Commander Fu has malaria."
"Fortunately, we brought cinchona this time. At least we can ensure that the condition does not continue to worsen."
"Whether it's malaria or a thigh injury, if you want to fully recover, you have to send Commander Fu to a safe place to recuperate. His current condition is not suitable for continuing the march."
Malaria is a disease usually caused by unhygienic diet.
Once someone suffers from severe malaria in the desert, it can basically be determined that he has lost his combat effectiveness, and it will also cause a drag on military logistics.
It will be more serious if the commander also suffers from it, which will make the entire army leaderless.
After hearing the military doctor's diagnosis, Li, Chen and Fu all changed their expressions.
Li Yunlong was naturally thinking about the follow-up progress of the mission. The deputy general staff's order was to cover the seven and a half routes entering Lanzhou territory. Judging from the current situation of the other party, it is God's blessing that they can cross Wuhai.
Chen Jieshan's idea is relatively simple. He is just worried about his elder brother's safety.
The most confusing thing at this time is the seven and a half route. If we can't go to Lanzhou, where to recuperate becomes the biggest problem.
The border area will definitely not be considered. Going there would be like breaking up with the bald head. At that time, not only will he be homeless for the rest of his life, but he may also be implicated in the Eighth Route Army.
Just when Fu and Chen were worried, Li Yunlong suddenly spoke out his thoughts.
"I personally think it is not a suitable choice for your 35th Army to go to Lanzhou."
"Although it is the headquarters of the Eighth War Zone, it is indeed a safe place. But on the way to retreat, you have to pass through Sanma's territory, and there is a high probability of encountering danger."
"The order I received is to assist you in your transfer. The best I can do is to deal with the pursuers behind you and replenish the supplies you need for your troops. It is not convenient for our regiment to enter Ningxia. You two should know the reason."
As soon as these words came out, Qilu and a half immediately fell into deep thought.
The reason why the 35th Army was allowed to retreat to Lanzhou was because he had an agreement with Bald Head during the winter offensive.
Once the pressure from the large-scale offensive by the troops stationed in Mongolia was too great, they would go along the Baolan Highway to the rear to rest and recuperate, and then discuss counterattacks after replenishing their forces.
But now the situation has changed. When he was desperate, he contacted He Dabeard of the 120th Division.
Based on Qilu's understanding of his own chairman, this move is definitely a challenge to the opponent's endurance. The other party must be angry now, and may issue some impulsive instructions.
If we were more pessimistic, maybe the troops would encounter an organized and premeditated group of horse bandits when they passed through Sanma's territory.
Now there are less than 2,000 people left in the three divisions of the entire army, and they are all infantry without heavy weapons. Without the protection of the 1st Marine Regiment, there is a high probability that they would die in a foreign country.
The biggest problem now is how to find a suitable location to avoid the limelight.
This time, it was his own chairman who acted dishonestly. After he calmed down, he might still have a chance to make a comeback. After all, it would be more difficult to lead the team if people's hearts were broken.
I tried my best to fight against Japan and defend my country. What was wrong with me?
Just as Qilu and a half frowned and thought, Li Yunlong broke the silence again and revealed his plan.
"How is Yulin? If I remember correctly, Commander Deng from the Shanxi-Shaanxi-Suiyuan Border Region is an old acquaintance of yours. With the relationship between the three of you, he shouldn't refuse to take you in."
"There is our rear guard area there. I can arrange a plane to take you to the border area first. Then I will ask Director Xiao to personally take action and secretly send you to Yulin."
"What's more, the medical conditions in our border area are also good. We can definitely cure your injuries."
As soon as these words came out, Qilu and a half suddenly felt that there was another village with darkness and bright flowers. He and Commander Deng worked together in the northwest in their early years and had a profound comradeship, and they also had a good personal relationship.
As long as he stays in Yulin for the first half of the year, he can find a way to make a comeback.
In addition, it is very close to the border area. If it doesn't work, you can change the camp, which is barely an extra escape route.
Now the remnants of the 35th Army are all his trusted troops. As long as confidentiality measures are in place, no one will know the channel through which he arrived in Yulin.
As for the problems of the soldiers, it is easy to deal with them. As long as they kill the Mongolian troops chasing behind them, they can return to the Houtao area to fight guerrillas.
Among the various war zones in Guo Preserved, the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth War Zone can definitely be ranked in the top three.
After making up his mind, Qi Lu and a half even looked a little better, and said to Li Yunlong with great gratitude: "Okay, then please ask Captain Li to send me to Yulin."
After successfully solving a major issue, Lao Li showed his iconic big white teeth, and then took out a portable communicator from his waist to contact the communications class.
In this operation, the 1st Marine Regiment carried a high-power radio.
In this way, they can not only contact the border area and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but can even keep in touch with the First Air Division.
Only more than twenty minutes have passed since they landed.
Based on the average speed of the escort formation and transport aircraft, Captain Wang Hai and the others should not have flown out of Suiyuan before they have time to turn around and return.
"Send a report to the army morale wizard and the deputy general staff. First submit a copy of our combat plan to the superiors. Then contact the escort formation of the 1st Air Division and ask them to come to the landing point to pick up the people."
"Pass my order! The engineer platoon directly under the regiment headquarters takes action immediately to clear an open space for the fighter jets to land. The speed must be fast!"
"The parachute infantry battalion and mobile combat company are ready. We have to deal with the pursuing troops behind us and cannot make the task more difficult for our comrades in the Air Force."
······
1st Air Division, Blenheim fighter escort formation.
"Hey, I didn't expect that this mission would be uneventful throughout. Not only did the Army Aviation Group not encounter the Japs, but even the armored troops stationed in the Mongolian Army did not know where they died?"
"I originally thought I would have a chance to blow up a few tanks today, but it looks like I will have nothing to gain in the last days of our 1st Air Division."
"Team King, when will the Second Air Division be established? How many pilots can be assigned to me by then? To be honest, I'm ready to show off my skills!"
In this mission, Fang Ziyi acted as a bombardier and followed the escort formation.
After hearing the complaints from his team members, Captain Wang Hai, who was flying the plane, smiled and shook his head.
The North China Eagle is good at everything, but it feels uncomfortable if it doesn't fight for a day. It wishes it could throw tons of aerial bombs and rockets on the heads of the Japanese every day.
As for the Air Force 2 Division just mentioned, it is the headquarters’ expansion plan for the second half of this year.
With the unlocking of the decision "domestic fighter manufacturing", the First Air Division has added a close support aircraft type. The two types of fighter aircraft have made the command system more and more cumbersome.
What's more, there will be "domestic bomber manufacturing" early next year. If we don't group them, we will be in chaos.
In order to further improve the efficiency of command and train pilots who specialize in one field.
The headquarters decided to remove comrades with ground attack talents from the First Air Division to form the Second Air Division, which is responsible for close ground support. The original Air First Division will focus more on gaining air superiority in the future.
Taking into account Fang Ziyi's outstanding performance and impressive record, the deputy commander-in-chief handed over the responsibility of command to the 24-year-old North China Eagle.
Perhaps during the Red Army period, division-level cadres in their twenties were not too exaggerated. But looking at the current Eighth Route Army, he is definitely the only Scorpion Baba.
"Okay, just stop complaining."
"It is a good thing for us and the Marine Regiment that we did not encounter the enemy's armored forces and Army aviation."
"Being able to go home safely is better than anything else. You will have to command the troops by yourself in the future. It is time to change your temper and temper, and stop acting like a war madman all day long."
While the two were chatting, the correspondent responsible for receiving the message suddenly shouted loudly:
"Team King, the 1st Marine Regiment sent a telegram!"
"Captain Li hopes that we will detach a fighter plane to return and use the fighter plane to send the seven and a half troops to the border area. The opponent is not only injured but also sick, and needs to return to the rear area to recuperate for a period of time."
"Please advise!"
Regarding the application of the 1st Marine Regiment, Captain Wang Hai agreed after thinking for a while.
The escort formation still has plenty of fuel left. Even if we return to the border area now, we still have to find an uninhabited mountainous area to put some of the fuel. After all, during the landing process, carrying too much fuel will cause safety hazards.
We are going to consume fuel anyway, so we might as well do something serious on the return trip.
After making the decision, Captain Wang Hai picked up the communicator on the side and issued the order:
"Attention all crews! Attention all crews! Now we need to return to the landing point of the 1st Marine Regiment to perform a new mission."
"After arriving at the destination, my plane will land alone, and the rest of the crew will continue to be alert. The transport aircraft formation should not be too far away, just keep circling at high altitude."
The above operations are all for safety reasons.
Although the location of the 1st Marine Regiment has exceeded the combat radius of the Type 97 fighter jets, no one knows whether the Japanese have built a field airport in the Houtao area.
Without knowing the specific situation of the enemy, it is safer to report to a group for action.
After the entire formation turned around, Captain Wang Hai looked at Fang Ziyi who was doing nothing and said:
"Get ready to drop the bombs. The bombs must be cleared before landing. I'm looking for the Japanese armored forces to help you fulfill your last wish before your promotion."
Hey, I'm such a bitch, I changed most of them by force
