The third part of the bloody war, Chapter 10, the storm, the third section of the war drum (5)

Then Li Mei detailed his combat plan. Li Guidan thought about it while listening, feeling that this guy was very powerful. He was not the consultants he met before. He only knew how to talk big, and he was afraid that he would not show his superior practical experience but was pitifully lacking.

Li Mei’s plan is actually very simple, which is to bomb the railway from Peking to Shanhaiguan, and to bomb the Qinhuangdao and Tanggu Tianjin port facilities, and to increase the destruction and bombing of the Japanese Air Force airports that were discovered. In addition, intelligence agencies are used to detect the Japanese airports in Northeast China and North Korea. Once discovered, it will be destroyed. In order to prevent Japanese planes that have leaked the net, six radar stations will be built along the coast of Jiaodong, which are responsible for monitoring the Yellow Sea of ​​the Bohai Sea and North Korea on the other side.

The radar used to monitor North Korea is different from the early radars. It is the second-generation ultra-long-range radar. This radar was successfully developed by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission last year. Currently, three such radar stations are put into use in Henan.

Except for having objections to the bombing of Tianjin in Tanggu, nothing else was wrong. Li Mei insisted on bombing Tianjin, but Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan insisted on opposing it, and Li Mei was very puzzled about this.

Li Mei spread her hands: "It's during the war, so it's normal for casualties."

"The War Zone Command has an order that the bombing of big cities must be approved by the War Zone Command." Gao Zhihang did not want to argue with him and decided to put the issue on and let Zhuang Jihua convince this guy.

"This is really a strange rule." Seeing that Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan disagreed, Li Mei had no choice but to do anything. The Sino-US Air Force is the joint command of the Chinese and American generals, but it must also obey the command of the War Zone Command.

"The bombing of the Beining Line can start immediately." Gao Zhihang didn't want to make Li Mei too embarrassed.

Li Mei lù smiled: "I think this is true, Tianjin and Tanggu, we can set our target at the port first."

But Gao Zhihang still shook his head firmly: "The bombing of large and medium-sized cities must be approved by the theater command."

Li Mei had no choice. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's go to the theater headquarters to talk to General Zhuang, and also talk about the airport."

Zhihang agreed and stood up, and said to Li Guidan: "Let your brothers have a good rest. In addition, formulate a combat plan to attack the Beining Line. It is likely to fight under Japanese radar monitoring. You must think about the difficulties." As he said that, he took out a document from his bag: "This is a method of deceiving radars studied by experts of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. You can study it carefully."

"Yes, sir." Li Guidan replied that radar is no longer a secret. After Henan recovered, it discovered the Japanese radar station. The special forces even seized a complete Japanese radar station in Shandong. After research by experts from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, it was found that their radar was better than China's first-generation radar, but it could not catch up with the second generation.

After Li Guidan sent Gao Zhihang and Li Mei away, the pilots on the side rushed up and surrounded him, asking if there was a new mission. Li Guidan did not tell them the details, but just told them to bomb the Beining Line. The pilots suddenly lost interest and became absent. The Japanese now did not even take off the attack on the outside of Tianjin, and the Beining Line would not care about it.

Li Guidan ignored them and returned to his office with a whistle, took out the deception radar manual that Gao Zhihangjiā gave him to study, and at the same time repeatedly pondered Li Mei's plan in his mind.

Gao Zhihang and Li Mei took a car to cross the river that day and drove directly to the Dexian War Zone Commander. When they arrived at the War Zone Command, they found out that Zhuang Jihua was not in the headquarters, but went to the army to patrol. There were only Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi and Deputy Chief of Staff Gong Chu in the headquarters, and He Wei, deputy director of the Operations Department, also accompanied Zhuang Jihua to the army.

Li Meizi was anxious before Zhuang Jihua came back, she reported her plan to Xu Zuyi, hoping to get his approval. What surprised him was that after hearing this, Xu Zuyi told him on the spot that he could not do it.

"I don't understand, General! This is a war!" Li Mei was anxious and shouted at Xu Zuyi.

"Of course I know," Xu Zuyi was very calm. He looked at Li Mei who was emotionally moved and said: "Although casualties in the war cannot be avoided, if we can avoid it, we must try to avoid it. What's more, we are engaged in a war to defend the country and the people. If we ignore the casualties of civilians just to win the war, this will make us lose the original purpose of the war. General Li Mei, if the enemy occupied New York, would you agree to such a large-scale bombing?"

Li Mei was speechless. Xu Zuyi stepped closer and said warmly: "General Li Mei, even if I agree to this plan, I must get the consent of the commander himself."

Li Mei spread her hands and said helplessly: "Okay, when will Commander Zhuang come back?"

"It's almost there. In three days, the war zone will hold a military meeting attended by generals above the army. Before that, Commander Zhuang will definitely come back." Xu Zuyi stood up and said goodbye, and asked someone to take Li Mei to rest.

After Li Mei left, Xu Zuyi said to Gao Zhihang: "What is the situation of the Air Force? What is the morale?"

Gao Zhihang hummed softly in his nostrils and replied angrily: "It's so good."

In front of his subordinates, Gao Zhihang was very calm and serious, but in front of Xu Zuyi, Gao Zhihang was like Li Guidan in front of him.

"The Japanese don't talk about Bushido anymore, they won't take off at all, and let us ravage them, but their air defense is astonishingly weak."

"Haha." Xu Zuyi laughed. China now has a comprehensive advantage in all aspects. Apart from the navy, China now has no navy. The navy lost almost all the losses in the early stages of the War of Resistance. Until now, there is no warship that can go to sea.

"Zhihang, this is a good thing, which means that it is very close to defeating the Japanese." Xu Zuyi changed his tone: "According to the plan, the airport radar station will be completed at the end of March and early April, and the bombing of Japan will begin at that time. This kind of long-distance bombing is the first time for us, oh, it is not the second time, but such a large-scale bombing is the first time. You must do a good job of training before this and think about the difficulties fully."

"We have considered it," Gao Zhihang replied: "According to the agreement, the Americans provide us with twenty-four super air fortresses. The Air Force Command organized the twenty-four super air fortresses into a squadron and was training in Chengdu. The Air Force Command agreed to be transferred to the North China War Zone before bombing the Japanese mainland."

Gao Zhihang was talking, and an officer came in from outside to give Xu Zuyi a document. Xu Zuyi opened the document while listening, and glanced at it casually, then frowned.

"In addition to the super air fortress that participated in the bombing of Japan, there is also a B17. In addition, the escort fleet is also being organized and will start training recently." Gao Zhihang gave a brief report to Xu Zuyi.

"It's great, but you'd better prepare a detailed report. Li Mei proposed such a combat plan. When the commander comes back, he will definitely ask you to make a detailed report. The content will include all aspects of the Air Force, so you must prepare as detailed as possible."

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Gao Zhihang replied loudly.

Xu Zuyi nodded at him, then turned around and left the reception room, holding the document in his hand. The headquarters is located in the Lujia Villa near the southwest canal of De County. This villa is a garden-style manor in Suzhou. The command's subordinates' General Staff, Telecommunications Department, Secretariat, and Intelligence Department are all here.

Xu Zuyi hurried into the staff office and placed the document in front of Director Gao Songyuan: "This document must be re-drafted. I didn't tell you that the army organization is re-aligned, but it cannot hurt the fundamentals. The Forty-Ninth Army and the Twenty-Fourth Army cannot move."

Gao Songyuan looked up at Xu Zuyi with the report. Zhuang Jihua would hold a meeting of generals above the theater in Dezhou in three days. Zhuang Jihua would announce the adjustment plan for the entire theater troops at this meeting. Xu Zuyi knew Zhuang Jihua's purpose well. Zhuang Jihua wanted to eliminate miscellaneous cards, or eliminate miscellaneous cards and the central government through this move, and at the same time adjust the generals who were ineffective in the early stage to promote the generals he was optimistic about.

However, Zhuang Jihua gave Xu Zuyi a principle, and the troops below the division only adjusted the generals, which means that the rectification was ultimately carried out at the military level. However, Xu Zuyi knew that in Zhuang Jihua's mind, some troops could not move, and the Forty-Ninth Army and the Twenty-Fourth Army were two of them.

The plan he designed was rejected by Xu Zuyi, which surprised Gao Songyuan a little. In fact, he also understood Zhuang Jihua's intentions. Before formulating the plan, he summoned him to talk to Xu Zuyi and told them the principles in detail. Except for the generals to be promoted, they told them everything else.

For this reorganization, Zhuang Jihua asked the Ministry of National Defense for three military numbers and one military number. In other words, at least three military commanders and one military commander were promoted this time. Gao Songyuan believed that Zhuang Jihua would definitely be promoted from the Forty-Nine Army, so he adjusted the Forty-Nine Army and the 24th Army, with the purpose of freeing up candidates for Zhuang Jihua to choose.

"Chief of Staff." Gao Songyuan frowned slightly, glanced at the staff around him, and Xu Zuyi shook his head slightly: "The commander has the idea of ​​a commander. This time, I won't be transferred from the Forty-Nine Group Army. Listen to me, that's right."

Gao Songyuan hesitated without arguing, and sat down and began to re-draft the report. Xu Zuyi turned around and prepared to leave, but as soon as he reached the mouth, Gong Chu came in from outside with an angry look on his face. When he saw Xu Zuyi, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"This matter cannot be done. What the Logistics Department is doing. So far, the bullets have only reached 30% and the equipment the commander needs has reached 40%. At this speed, at the end of March, the maximum number of shells will be three bases, and the three scheduled military uniforms cannot be changed. The person named Xu actually said nothing. Brother Yan Mou, this matter can only be handled by the commander coming back."

Xu Zuyi's face changed suddenly. Gong Chu was mainly responsible for coordinating logistics, including weapons and bomb replenishing soldiers, hospitals, communications, etc. The affairs were complicated. When Zhuang Jihua was in the headquarters, he had to chase him to ask about progress almost every day. However, the logistics of 1.5 million people, this unprecedented large number, made Gong Chu so busy that his feet were not sticky all day long.

In order to support the decisive battle in North China, Hong Junqi asked Xu Chonghuai, deputy director of the Logistics Department, to lead a working group to the North China War Zone to handle logistics affairs with the War Zone Logistics Department. Although Shandong has been liberated for several months, logistics has long begun to provide North China with a large number of weapons and ammunitions, and only a small part has been added in a few months.

Among them, the Western Front troops are much better to supplement. After all, they can be transported directly to the front line through the Pinghan Line, and it is more difficult to supplement the East and the Middle Lines, and there are very few supplements.

"How could this happen?" Xu Zuyi asked hurriedly.

"Who knows?" Gong Chu seemed to be angry at Xu Chonghuai. He was angry and spoke a little violently: "Xu said that the demand for ammunition is too great, and there is also food. The food for the victims of various places for winter do not have that much transportation capacity. By the way, there are also the air force, the air force's oil and equipment, and we are also given priority!"

"That won't work." Xu Zuyi shook his head and said, "Before the attack was launched, the shell reserves must have a base of ten to twelve. This time the commander's plan was very big, and this number of shells was absolutely not enough."

"It's not just shells, but also bullets, grenades, and oil, which are not enough at the end of March." Gong Chu took out a document and slapped it on the table: "Look, this is their plan."

According to the scheduled plan, the attack will be launched at the end of March and early April. The entire theater center will operate at a high level. The combat office will formulate a combat plan for the east, middle and west lines. The Logistics Office will be responsible for allocating materials. The Intelligence Department will closely monitor the changes in the enemy situation in North China. The Political Department will mobilize the people to support the front and cooperate with the reorganization of the troops, making the work more complicated.

After Zhuang Jihua arrived in De County, he was very dissatisfied with the previous work and summoned the directors of various departments to scold them, asking them to formulate plans to achieve goals that must be achieved before the attack was launched. At the same time, he criticized Sun Lianzhong, deputy commander-in-chief of De County, and Gong Chu, deputy chief of staff, during this period.

Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu, one is a miscellaneous general and the other is a rebel general of the G party. In the North China War Zone, Huangpu generals gathered, and the miscellaneous generals were mainly from the southwest. Neither of them dared to take a tough attitude. Zhuang Jihua criticized them because they thought they were too soft and too loose to the lower level.

Although he was criticized, Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu did not feel wronged, especially Sun Lianzhong. Although he had already stated that he was the chairman of Hebei Province, the position of deputy commander of the theater was not removed. Obviously, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to let him serve in Hebei after he was restored. Sun Lianzhong and Gong Chu learned from this criticism that Zhuang Jihua did not look at them at outsiders, so Gong Chu dared to treat Xu Chonghuai, who was born in the civil engineering department today.

"Does Hong Junqi indicate?" Xu Zuyi asked after a moment of calming down. Hong Junqi was born in the Southwest Development Team and was promoted to the head of the Logistics Department of the Base Camp. In recent years, Chen Cheng wanted to seize this position several times, but Hong Junqi had Zhuang Jihua, Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi and other Huangpu classmates, and with the support of teachers such as He Yingqin and Zhang Zhizhong, he had always firmly occupied this position. Moreover, his origin in the Southwest Development Team has also become a guarantee. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use his relationship with the Southwest to firmly control the Southwest military industry.

"I don't know," Gong Chu seemed to feel a little hot, unbuttoned the scenery mouth, and then unbuttoned two buttons: "There are still serious things, tents and tents are not enough. In such a cold day, some soldiers live in shacks, which is really unspeakable."

Xu Zuyi didn't understand this situation. His eyes were wide open and he was very strange. Why didn't anyone report it or even complain? ra!~!
