Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

If our anti-aircraft firepower just stays where it is, it will only continue to suffer losses.In the final analysis, the best way to deal with the little devil's plane is to form our air force early, and the best choice is to use planes against planes. '

As a modern soldier who has used individual air defense missiles, He Zhengdao really seems a little helpless about the relatively backward air defense methods in this period.But he knew that even such an air defense weapon was extremely precious to the Eighth Route Army.

With the end of the live ammunition shooting, He Zhengdao transferred the Japanese soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp to a secret camp outside the city for continued detention.Three anti-aircraft artillery battalions and two anti-aircraft machine gun battalions were deployed on the high mountains west of the city.

When He Yingqin arrived in Yan'an, He Zhengdao received a telegram from the headquarters that the Japanese army was preparing for a large-scale bombing.The target of the bombing was most likely Yulin City, where the Japanese army was imprisoned by the independent columns.

After receiving the telegram forwarded by the headquarters, and the fact that the information might have been leaked from the Nationalist Government, He Zhengdao also knew very well that the secret intelligence war between the KMT and the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War was also thrilling.

Even because of He Zhengdao's crossing, the Eighth Route Army had anti-espionage signal detectors, which took away many intelligence stations deployed by the Japanese army.But for spies who don't use the radio to deliver messages, it is naturally not easy to catch them.

In order to complete this "snake swallowing elephant" war, Ribo has premeditated for a long time.In terms of intelligence gathering, they have done countless preparatory work.Many spies who sneaked into the anti-Japanese war team were difficult to identify without showing their heads.

'Order the front-line air defense observation posts, and they have recently raised their vigilance.Once a large number of Japanese aircraft appear over our base area, immediately send the news to the rear.Issue air defense early warning orders to the garrison forces in various places, and carry out air defense evacuation at any time. '

'Yes, Commander! '

Thinking that the current news was received from Shijiazhuang, He Zhengdao looked at the map of Yulin, and said thoughtfully: "Notify the air defense observation post in Suiyuan, and watch out for Japanese fighter planes flying from the northeast.

Once a large number of aircraft enter our air defense area, we must also prepare for air defense evacuation.In addition, for the civilians and troops who are active outdoors, the level of air defense alert is also strengthened. Once the Japanese fighter plane is found, it will immediately cover the air defense on the spot. "

In He Zhengdao's view, the army and air force of the North China Front Army alone may not be enough to show the Japanese army's revenge against the Eighth Route Army.This means that if the Japanese army is going to carry out a large-scale air strike this time, I am afraid that the Kwantung Army will also get involved.

Although this is just He Zhengdao's guess, he is "not afraid of [-], just in case."At least as far as the current situation is concerned, the Kwantung Army's army aviation strength is also very strong.And they took off from the Puppet Manchukuo area, which is about the same distance as Shijiazhuang.

Just when the independent column was fully preparing for air defense, the delegation of the Central Army, which had stayed in Yan'an for three days, continued on the road according to the scheduled itinerary.This time, there was an extra vice chairman Zhou who accompanied the delegation.

Still the same as when they came to Yan'an, the delegation still traveled to Yulin by car, resting during the day and traveling at night.Considering the current severe air defense situation in Shaanxi, even if He Yingqin is reluctant, it is hard to say anything.

After all, if the little devil's plane is really eyeing them and his party, then they will carry out bombing.You don't need too many bombers at all, you only need one bomber or two fighter jets, and the delegation will have to pay a heavy price.

Just when the delegation was about a day's drive away from Yulin, He Yingqin and others who had just planned to set off from Suide City suddenly heard the sound of air defense sirens sounding throughout the city.The sharp sound of the siren startled everyone who was preparing to leave.

Vice Chairman Zhou, who came with He Yingqin, immediately said, "Zuo Quan, go and ask what's going on?"

'yes!However, for the sake of safety, Vice Chairman Zhou, you should go to the air-raid shelter for a while! '

'good!Guard battalion, arrange for Minister He and his party to rush to the nearest air-raid shelter for shelter! '

'Yes! '

Following the guard battalion with He Yingqin and others, they hid in the air-raid shelter closest to them.Zuo Quan, who had already received the news from the Suide garrison brigade, also quickly informed Vice Chairman Zhou and his party who were taking shelter in the air-raid shelter.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, just now our air defense observation post sent back information that the plane deployed by the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang is flying towards our base.In addition, in the direction of Suiyuan, the Kwantung Army also dispatched a large number of planes, which should be aimed at the independent column. '

Upon hearing this, He Yingqin was also startled and said, "The Kwantung Army also dispatched planes?"

'Yes!Earlier, I had contacted the Independent Column through the radio, and Xiao He’s opinion was that the bomber formation that took off from Shijiazhuang should be heading for the central government or the headquarters.The plane of the Kwantung Army should be directed at them. '

Vice Chairman Zhou seemed a little worried about the large-scale bombing that the Japanese army had prepared for a long time.But at this time, a representative of the delegation asked curiously: "Since the little devil didn't come for Suide, why did we hide in the air-raid shelter?"

'The prediction we made was more of a guess.Commander He of the previous independent column also intentionally reminded us to be careful.According to the information we have, the Japanese army should know that the delegation has arrived in the Suide area.

This means that Japanese fighter planes flying from Shijiazhuang may also bomb Suide.It can even be seen from the bombers that the Japanese army took off at this time that the Japanese army should have made careful preparations and knew that our convoy was ready to set off.

If we had already left Suide City at this time, such a convoy would not be able to hide the Japanese bombers at all.Once the enemy plane is really coming towards us, we can't do effective air defense in the wild.

To avoid such things as Japanese air raids, a time difference must be made.For the little devils, any city in our base area may become their bombing target.In this kind of matter, we dare not take any chances! '

After learning from the experience and lessons of the previous bombing, the Eighth Route Army has a mentality of "not afraid of ten thousand, just in case" when it comes to air defense.Even after the air defense evacuation, the little devil's air force did not bomb them.

But for the Eighth Route Army, it was just an air defense drill.But if the little devil's plane really appeared in the sky over some cities, and the city had not been effectively evacuated by air defense, it would definitely become the target of the Japanese bombing.

In the absence of air defense evacuation, once the Japanese army encounters crazy air raids and bombings, the possible losses may be incalculable.No one dares to take the lives of ordinary people and bet on a fluke! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the people in Suide City began to carry out air defense evacuation, some cities controlled by the other Eighth Route Army also sounded air defense sirens.Numerous troops took to the streets and began to help evacuate the people to the nearest air-raid shelter.

Situations like this also occurred in Yan'an and Xi'an, cities that the Eighth Route Army is protecting.In some cities equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, all air defense units have also entered the battle state, ready to go into battle at any time.

With the increase in the number of victories of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield, most of the captured air defense weapons were invested in the air defense of key cities.Even Xi'an, which had no air defense force before, is now equipped with two air defense battalions.

Although the air defense weapons are not of the same model, as far as the Eighth Route Army is concerned, as long as they are capable of air defense weapons, after the frontline troops capture them, they will be transported to the rear for unified use, increasing the city's air defense self-defense capabilities.

He Zhengdao, who also heard the air defense sirens resounding throughout the city, issued an air defense evacuation order, and soon came to the air defense regiment station in the west of the city, looking at the positions outside the city where anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were being erected.

He Zhengdao, who was staying in an air defense headquarters, looked at the busy air defense position, and asked in a timely manner: "Call the political commissar and ask how the evacuation situation in the city is going? We must speed up the evacuation of the people!"

'Yes! '

The staff officer in the command room shook the phone, and quickly connected to the political commissar in charge of air defense and evacuation in the city.Not long after, the call was connected, and He Zhengdao who answered the call also said directly: "Political Commissar, how is the situation in the city?"

'Already evacuated almost!The school and the factories in the city hid in the nearest air defense underground fortification.The people in the city also took shelter in the nearest air defense underground fortification in an orderly manner.The garrison is currently patrolling and inspecting the city. '

As the supreme military and political chief of the independent column, the two had a division of labor before.Once a large-scale air strike occurs, He Zhengdao is responsible for annihilating the incoming enemy planes, while Xiao Jinguang is responsible for evacuating the people with the border government.

'good!The things in the city are left to you!Once the little devil's military plane appears, let all the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade enter the air-raid shelter.The news from the air defense post in front, the little devil is aggressive this time! '

'Okay, you can leave the things in the city to me.When you fight next time, you should also pay more attention to safety. '

After the two chatted briefly, He Zhengdao called the arsenal again and told them to pay attention to air defense.This time, the little devil's plane should not be heading towards the arsenal, but he still needs to be careful.

In fact, when the cities of Suiyuan began to prepare for air defense.The artillery units and armored units placed in the Ordos area have all entered a concealed state to prevent the little devils from bombing them.

As a fist unit of an independent column, He Zhengdao considered the requirements of air defense when building the barracks of these two troops.Once a large number of little devils and military planes appear, heavy artillery and tanks and armored vehicles will be pulled into the air-raid shelter.

In this case, even if the little devils bombed the barracks, they could only destroy some houses at most, and there was no way to destroy the equipment and supplies pulled into the air-raid shelter.And these troops are also equipped with some anti-aircraft machine guns.

These units have a certain defense against the reconnaissance planes that appear above them from time to time.And He Zhengdao entered the air defense command and operation room, and began to check the preparations for air defense in various places by phone or telegram.

Following the bombing formation composed of nearly a hundred planes, they continued to fly towards Yulin after dropping a few bombs in Guisuicheng.The third division guarding Suiyuan quickly sent the news of being bombed by the little devils to the headquarters.

He Zhengdao, who was holding the telegram, said with sharp eyes: "It seems that this time the little devil is really ruthless! He even used incendiary bombs!"

According to the telegram sent by the Third Division, although the Japanese bombing of Guisui City this time was not many bombs, it was not small.Some wooden buildings in Guisui City were burned down during the bombing.

As a result, what He Zhengdao didn't expect was that the little devil's plane that flew from the northeast this time also carried out bombing when it arrived at Shenmu.Judging from this bombing situation, it seems that it is preparing to bomb the entire territory of Yulin at once.

Facing the wild bombardment of the little devil, He Zhengdao also really felt a little helpless.In the absence of an air force, it is indeed a headache to effectively defend against the bombing of Japanese fighter planes.

Fortunately, among the telegrams sent from various cities, most of them were telegrams with severely damaged houses, and the casualties were relatively small.But even so, after the bombing is over, I am afraid that the independent column and troops from all over the country will be busy.

Vice Chairman Zhou, who was also staying in the Suide air-raid shelter, looked at the telegrams that were constantly being forwarded, and said with a headache: "It seems that the little devil is here for revenge this time, and they even bombed all the way from Suiyuan. How many houses will be burned down?" ah!"

Although many places in northern Shaanxi live in cave dwellings.But in some cities, most of the houses are made of wooden structures.In the face of the aviation incendiary bombs carried by the little devil, these houses have little ability to resist.

He Yingqin, who accompanied him to avoid the air defense, also said helplessly: "The air force of the little devil is really arrogant! Alas, if we have a strong air force, the little devil will not dare to be so arrogant!"
