At this time, the war in Zhangjiakou City was raging, and the Eighth Route Army was storming Zhangjiakou City.In Zhangjiakou Airport, the soldiers of the engineer battalion are busy, and the soldiers are hurrying to repair the airport runway.In the evening, the transport plane taking off from Yan'an successfully flew to Zhangjiakou, but the plane did not land, and there was no airport to land.Fortunately, the seventh column had received the news in advance, and all the surrounding areas were controlled, and all the pilots landed safely.Therefore, Li Guotao immediately ordered the engineer battalion to seize the time to repair the airport runway, demanding that the airport runway must be repaired before dawn, and at least to ensure that the plane can successfully take off.Li Guotao even rushed to the airport in person, looking at the soldiers who were busy on the runway of the airport, Li Guotao frowned and sighed softly and said: "It's just a pity that there are only ten pilots who come this time, and they can only drive away ten fighters at a time." ”Zhao Yunfei, who was standing next to him, scratched his head and said, "It's a pity, no one in our special combat team can fly a plane, otherwise there would be no need to be so troublesome." ”Li Guotao smiled bitterly and shook his head, there are indeed many people in the special combat team, but there is really no one who can fly a plane, no wonder, most of these people have never even seen a plane before joining the army, how can they fly a plane Zhao Yunfei suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Guotao with an excited face: "By the way, commander, can you fly a plane" Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said: "I won't either." ”Li Guotao had flown airplanes in his previous life, but it was a helicopter, and these planes in this era, Li Guotao was sure to fly them into the sky with his previous experience, but whether he could land safely was uncertain.After all, it is easier to fly a plane into the sky, but it is much more difficult to land successfully.If Li Guotao was just an ordinary soldier, with his character, he would definitely try to drive a plane back to Yan'an, but he is not an ordinary soldier now, but the commander of the seventh column, and tens of thousands of people in the seventh column still need his command, so he naturally can't leave Zhangjiakou easily."
It turns out that there are things you don't know," Zhao Yunfei said with a smirk."
Nonsense, Lao Tzu is also a human being, not a god, how can he do anything," Li Guotao said with a dissatisfied face.Zhao Yunfei scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I thought there was nothing in this world that you wouldn't do" "There are many things that Lao Tzu won't do" Li Guotao rolled his eyes, and then waved his hand and said: "Here you keep an eye on it, I'm going back to the front line headquarters, remember that before dawn tomorrow, the runway must be repaired to ensure that the pilot drives the fighter away." ”"It's to ensure the completion of the task," Zhao Yunfei said respectfully.Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left the airport, and hurriedly returned to the front-line headquarters.Ma Zhenguo saw that Li Guotao was back, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Commander, you are back" "Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "How is the situation now" Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "The situation is not very good, although our army is attacking fiercely, but the resistance of the little devil is also very tenacious, and it has been fighting for more than two hours, and there has been no substantial progress." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Continue to attack, we must put enough pressure on Okabe Naosaburo, and when all the little devils in Fengzhen are withdrawn, then we can stop the attack on Zhangjiakou, and then turn around to deal with the little devils who came to support Fengzhen" Zhangjiakou, stationed in the headquarters of the Mongolian army, Okabe Naosaburo stood next to the window, listening to the bursts of gunfire and explosions in the distance, his face became more and more ugly, and at this time he heard a burst of footsteps behind him, Okabe Naosaburo asked without replying: "How is the battle on the front line?"
Tanaka Shinichi, who had just come over, said respectfully: "The Eighth Route Army is still storming our city fortifications, and the imperial army has suffered a lot of losses, but relying on the city fortifications, the Eighth Route Army has not been able to attack the city in a short time. ”"That's good" Okabe Naosaburo nodded, sighed softly and said, "Didn't Commander Tada agree to send troops to support us, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
”Tanaka Shinichi hurriedly replied: "I am about to report to Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Commander Tada has mobilized the Independent Fifth Mixed Brigade stationed in Beiping to rush to Zhangjiakou urgently, and I will leave Beiping by train in the early hours of this morning, and it is estimated that I will be able to arrive in Zhangjiakou at dawn tomorrow."
However, at present, Xuanhua has been lost, according to the current intelligence, the Eighth Route Army has deployed a brigade in Xuanhua and is stepping up the construction of fortifications, so even if the independent Fifth Mixed Brigade arrives, I am afraid that it will not be able to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in a short time. ”Okabe Naosaburo's brows furrowed even deeper, nodded and said: "What about the 41st Division and the Independent Second Mixed Brigade" "The Independent Second Mixed Brigade has withdrawn to Datong and is about to take the train back to Zhangjiakou, and the 41st Division has also begun to prepare to retreat."
It's just that because of the long distance, it is estimated that even the second mixed brigade will not be able to rush back to Zhangjiakou until tomorrow afternoon, but if it is blocked by the halfway army on the way, I am afraid that this time will be longer. ”Shinichi Tanaka said with a serious face."
Well, urge them, let them hurry up and return to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible."
Naosaburo Okabe nodded and said."
Hai," Shinichi Tanaka replied respectfully.Naosaburo Okabe sighed softly and said, "This is the end of the matter, and we have to prepare for the worst."
Ordered all the people in the city who could fight to enter the fortifications, and ordered all troops to build fortifications on the main streets of the city, relying on the buildings in the city, and once the Eighth Route Army attacked the city, they must be blocked no matter what. ”"Hai" Tanaka Shinichi replied respectfully, and swore a promise: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, even if the Eighth Route Army breaks through the imperial army's fortifications, we rely on the fortifications in the city, and we can block the people of China for at least two days, and in two days, even if the supporting imperial army is blocked by the Eighth Route Army, it is time to arrive." ”"Hmm" Okabe Naosaburo nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare, everything is up to Ra Tanaka-kun" "Hay" Tanaka Shinichi responded respectfully, turned around and strode away.Okabe Naosaburo turned around and glanced at the back of Tanaka Shinichi leaving, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, at this time Okabe Naosaburo was completely desperate, even if he could keep Zhangjiakou, the army stationed in Mongolia was defeated again and again, and he, the commander, could only take the blame and resign, thinking that his future would be completely ruined because of this, Okabe Naosaburo's heart was full of monstrous hatred.aa2705221:
