Less than ten kilometers away from Jiangshanyan Village, there is a small hill called Taipinggang.

The headquarters of Rong 1st Division is located here, which is also Zhu Liangcheng's requirement. Zhu Liangcheng's combat habits were greatly influenced by Zhong Yi and he liked to command from the front.

Since there were no private houses, Zhu Liangcheng had to set up a tent under Taipinggang.

Zhu Liangcheng was discussing the situation with deputy division commander Guo Qi and chief of staff Chen Xian.

At this time, Guo Qi and Shen Xian had already stepped down as the leader of the group.

Zhu Liangcheng no longer served as the leader of Rong 1 Regiment. The three free commanders were taken over by Chi Peng, Guo Weiquan and Shi Huaiyu.

Guo Qi said: "Master, otherwise let's make a bet."

"Betting?" Zhu Liangcheng smiled, "What are you betting on?"

"Gambling on how far the devil artillery advances," said Guo Qi.

"What's the point of betting on this?" Chen Xian said, "It must be ten kilometers."

Starting about ten days ago, the artillery cluster of the Guards Division would advance ten kilometers every day, not more than one kilometer or less than one kilometer, and it would not be struck by thunder.

"That's not necessarily." Guo Qi said, "I bet that the devil artillery will advance twenty kilometers today!"

"So sure?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "What's the reason?"

Guo Qi said: "The reason is that Jinhua County is already close, and Jinhua is also a transportation hub in western Zhejiang. As long as the Japanese occupy Jinhua County, they can completely cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi highway."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "So do you think the Japanese will become unhurried?"

"Yes." Guo Qi said, "After all, the Japanese are less than forty kilometers away from Jinhua now. The Japanese artillery soldiers can launch artillery bombardment on Jinhua County as long as they advance twenty kilometers more."

Chen Xian said: "The problem is, if the Japanese artillery soldiers really advance twenty kilometers, they will reach the forefront of our position? Could it be that the Japanese plan to bayonet their cannons and fight hand-to-hand combat with our infantry?"

After a pause, Chen Xian smiled and said, "If this is the case, we will save a lot of trouble."

Before this, the Rong 1st Division and the entire 41st Army had not thought about the artillery group belonging to the Guards Division.

The reason is obvious. As long as the artillery group of the Guard Division is killed, the combat effectiveness of the Guard Division will be greatly reduced. Their 41st Army can easily block the Guard Division without even six divisions.

Unfortunately, the Japanese artillery group is very strict and has no way to take advantage of it.

Even An Zhenyuan’s special operations brigade could not penetrate.

Because after the 1st Cavalry Brigade suffered losses, the Japanese strengthened their defense against special forces.

So to this day, the 41st Army has no choice but to use the artillery cluster of the Guards Division.

However, if the Guards Division dares to push the artillery group under the nose of Rong 1st Division, Zhu Liangcheng will never be polite, because this means that the Rong 1st Division only needs to launch an assault to rush into the Japanese artillery position, and then kill all the artillery group of the Guards Division!

Faced with Chen Xian's doubts, Guo Qi said: "So, I'm sure the Japanese infantry will also strengthen their attacks and strive to advance ten kilometers more than ten kilometers before dark today!"

As soon as Guo Qi finished speaking, a communication soldier hurried in and reported: "Report!"

"Tell me!" Zhu Liangcheng waved his hand and responded.

The communications soldier reported: "The 1st Regiment of Rong, the offensive of the Japanese is still the same today!"

"What, the offensive remains the same?" Guo Qi said in surprise, "Would you make a mistake? How could it be possible?"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Old Guo, it seems that you lost. Tell me, what is the bet?"

"Betting? What bet?" Guo Qi pretended to be stupid, "Did I just say that I made a bet? No."

"Hey, why are you still having sex?" Chen Xian said, "The teacher is still here."

"Go away, what's going on with you? I'm just thinking about gambling all day long. Can you do some serious business?" Guo Qi drove away Guo Qi like a fly, and then whispered to himself in a low voice, "How is it possible, why did the Japanese change their sexual desire?"

Zhu Liangcheng also smiled and said, "It seems that the Japanese have really changed their nature and become cautious."

"This is not a good thing for us." Chen Xian was too lazy to pay attention to Guo Qi, and said, "If the Japanese have to keep moving steadily and move forward step by step, we really have no way to deal with them."

"Yes." Zhu Liangcheng nodded, "If we fight head-on, we don't have reinforced concrete fortifications and we can't stop the heavy artillery group of the Guard Division. After a few rounds of artillery attacks, there will be few people left in our division and even the entire 41st Army. But if we turn behind us, our logistics support will not be able to keep up. After a few battles, we can only fight with the Japanese. The key is that the Japanese may not give us the chance to fight with the bayonet, which is really a headache."

Guo Qi suddenly said, "When I talk about this, I suddenly thought of a question."

Zhu Liangcheng and Shen Xian asked in unison: "What's the question?"

Guo Qi said: "Do you think it's strange? The group leader doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

The group seat that Guo Qi mentioned was of course Zhong Yi, the former leader of the 367th Regiment.

Although Zhong Yi has now been promoted to commander-in-chief of the 10th Army and chief of staff of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, Guo Qi, Chen Xian and his old subordinates are still used to calling him the regiment.

"This is indeed a bit strange." Chen Xian said, "It is indeed not like the style of a group leader who is beaten without fighting back."

"So I guess that the team leader must be holding on to the ultimate move." Guo Qi said, "In other words, we don't have to worry at all, just wait for the team leader to use the ultimate move."

Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "I hope."

Guo Qi said in a deep voice: "It must be like this."

...

Guo Qi was right, and Zhong Yi was indeed holding on to his ultimate move.

Moreover, this ultimate move is actually in place.

Zhong Yi’s ultimate move is the 1st Battalion of the 1st Aviation Division!

Near noon, Zhong Yi drove more than 100 miles from Jinhua Lanxi to Quzhou Airport.

At this time, Quzhou had been renovated and expanded. Not only did the length of the runway grow from the previous 500 meters to one thousand meters, but the width also grew from the previous 30 meters to fifty meters.

Such specifications can already take off and land strategic bombers.

Several aprons at the airport were empty and there was no airplane visible.

But only Zhong Yi knew that 50 P-40 Tomahawk fighters were quietly parked in several hidden hangars on both sides of the airport.

Yes, these 50 P-40 fighter jets have officially entered Quzhou Airport.

Moreover, these 50 P-40 fighter jets all switched over at night, so not only did the Japanese not know, but even the people of Quzhou did not notice it.

Following these 50 P-40 fighter jets, there were 100 pilots including Martins, as well as 50 flight students selected from Kunming Aviation School.

In addition, there are mechanics and airport ground staff.

However, the 1st Aviation Division did a very good job in keeping confidentiality.
