The direction of Zhennanguan is equally important. Once that direction is lost, Nanning, which is empty of troops, will face the attack of the Gaul army.The Western Special Zone will be invaded by foreign enemies for the first time, which will have a great impact on the morale of the army, and when the two sides are negotiating, the Western Special Zone will also be more passive.This is a difficult choice. Zhao Shouhong bowed his head in the war room and thought about it, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
"I think Zhennan Pass is more important. Once the Gaul army breaks through there, Nanning will have no danger to defend before, and our losses will be very large." Jiang Fangzhen said.
"The problem is that even if the Fourth Air Force is moved to Nanning Airport, it is doubtful how much help it can give Zhennanguan. After all, the terrain there is not suitable for aircraft bombing." Bai Chongxi added: "Unless..."
"Unless what? Does Chongxi have any good ideas?" Zhao Shouhong looked at Bai Chongxi curiously when he heard this sentence.
Bai Chongxi said: "It's just an immature suggestion. I think that since the troops preparing to attack need to prepare for combat, they can't be easily mobilized. Then, as the general reserve team, Zhang Shaozeng should have no mission in a short time."
"Paratroopers?" Jiang Fangzhen's eyes lit up.
"Use the Fifth Air Force?" Zhao Shouhong was suddenly enlightened. He turned around and asked, "How is the current equipment of the Fifth Air Force?"
Air Force Commander Li Ruyan said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the Yun-[-] transport aircraft has begun to equip the troops, and now two divisions are fully staffed, and they can be dispatched immediately."
"Can this kind of plane fly directly to Zhennan Pass?" Zhao Shouhong asked again.
"Now that the Fifth Air Force is stationed in Chongshan City, there should be no problem in terms of distance. You just need to refuel at Nanning Airport after dropping the paratroopers." Li Ruyan introduced: "The Yun-40 transport plane can carry [-] people normally, although the paratroopers carry There are full-body equipment, but as long as you squeeze [-] people, there should be no problem. In addition, the load capacity of the transport [-] is [-] tons, and we can also carry auxiliary fuel tanks or light artillery under the aircraft."
Hearing Li Ruyan introduce the performance of this transport aircraft, everyone present gasped.One plane can carry forty soldiers, and the two divisions have more than 200 transport planes. Wouldn't it be possible to carry more than 8000 soldiers?Delivering three airborne regiments in place at one time, such a powerful strength is quite amazing.
The first thousand and thirty-two chapters
Zhao Shouhong said with a condensed expression: "Order the Fifth Air Force to make all preparations for liftoff, and it will be dispatched within two hours. Let Zhang Shaozeng's airborne division immediately change into rainforest equipment, and the changeover will be completed within one and a half hours. Nei boarded the plane and dispatched. Tell them there is no time to waste, Zhennanguan is waiting for their rescue."
"Yes." All the officers present stood at attention and saluted, and then several staff officers hurried out to deliver orders.The operation of the West Special Army is quite efficient. After Zhao Shouhong gave the order, the equipment department immediately transferred the rainforest equipment from Ningyuan City to the airport, and asked Zhang Shaozeng's officers and soldiers who came by car to change at the airport.Barely an hour later, the Airborne Division had completed all refitting, and Fifth Air Force was all ready to take off.
After the Air Force notified Zhang Shaozeng, the airborne division began to board the Y-[-] transport plane one after another. Although the seats were very crowded, the soldiers still maintained a full fighting spirit.The officers and soldiers of the West Special Army are all militant. They have not had combat missions for so long, and the officers and soldiers of the airborne division are holding their breath. Today they are finally able to go to the battlefield again, and everyone is very excited.
After everyone in the airborne division boarded the plane, the three-blade fixed-pitch propellers on the two engines on both sides of the densely arranged transport planes slowly turned, and one plane after another slowly lifted into the air. Within ten minutes, the entire sky was covered.
The super large fleet of transport planes swept across the sky. This was a spectacle that even the officers and soldiers of the Air Force had never seen. Everyone gathered on the runway and waved their arms at the fleet of transport planes that was gradually receding.They knew that there was going to be a war this time, and many of the paratroopers who boarded the plane just now would not be able to return to their hometown.
The Yun-20 transport aircraft is [-] meters long, and it uses two Zhonghua [-]B engines.Due to the enlarged cylinder diameter, the power of this [-]-cylinder radial air-cooled engine reached [-] hp.Such surging power supports the aircraft to move forward at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, while carrying a load of [-] tons.
The huge transport fleet did not land, and it took six hours to fly past Nanning Airport.Tang Jisheng received the notice early in the morning. When the lookout sent the news that the transport fleet had passed Nanning, he immediately ordered the airport to make all preparations.
Tang Jisheng knew very well that these planes, which had been flying for several hours, were almost out of fuel. After they dropped in the paratroopers, they had to return to Nanning Airport to refuel.When airdropped in a war zone, it may also be killed by ground fire, so the airport must also be prepared to rescue injured flight attendants.
"Stay to the last person, and no one is allowed to retreat." Huang Zhenguo roared in the communicator with blood red eyes.Although only more than 30 hours have passed since the enemy's attack, the intensity of the attack is unprecedented.
All the positions of the garrison were under extreme pressure, and the loss of personnel was accelerating.Seeing the Jing people charging again, Huang Zhenguo threw away the receiver and rushed towards the firing port of the bunker.After the sharp drop in personnel, everyone in the regiment headquarters also threw themselves into the battle.Huang Zhenguo spread all the officers to the defense line and firmly controlled the various positions, while the bunker he was in had only four guards to help defend.
No sooner had the Gauls' cannons stopped than the machine guns rang out.A dense rain of bullets splashed on the bunker, blocking the small shooting holes. The last guard was shot in the head and fell among the broken ammunition boxes.
"Xiao Liu." Huang Zhenguo rushed to his side to check, and found that his guard was hopeless.He gritted his teeth and stood up, grabbed the handle of the heavy machine gun, and pressed the firing button hard.
The heavy machine gun erected at the firing hole spewed out flames again, and dense bullets were fired at the charging Jing people.Soon the Gauls discovered the point of fire that was spewing bullets, and the firepower of several Hotchkiss machine guns turned instantly.
Seeing that the shooting hole was blocked by the opponent's firepower, he immediately turned to another shooting hole, picked up a light machine gun loaded with bullets, and started shooting.They were fired again from the flanks, and several Jing soldiers were shot down.The light machine gun had limited ammunition, and soon the sound of 悾悾 came, and the ammunition ran out.
Huang Zhenguo hid sideways behind the concrete wall next to the shooting hole, and reached out to touch the ground.After searching for a long time, he couldn't find any usable magazines, so he had to search for ammunition boxes.But after such a long period of non-stop shooting, the ammunition had been exhausted, and he could not find any usable bullets.In desperation, Huang Zhenguo had no choice but to pick up a rifle and shoot at the shooting hole.
Seeing the Jing people getting closer and closer, the gunshots from the bunkers were sparse. It was obvious that those places were either too short of personnel or were about to run out of bullets.Huang Zhenguo calmly lay down next to the shooting hole, reached out and took out a bayonet and put it on the rifle. It seemed that the bayonet was going to solve the problem this time.
At this moment, the phone in the bunker suddenly rang.Huang Zhenguo backed away slowly with his rifle in hand, and came to the side of the wall-mounted telephone. He reached out to pick up the phone, and there was the excited voice of the third battalion commander: "Regimental Commander, the reinforcements have arrived, and they are in the sky."
"Heaven, is it a bomber?" Huang Zhenguo threw down the phone, rushed out of the bunker in two steps, and came to the traffic trench outside.He looked towards the direction of the country, and in the blue and cloudless sky, a group of huge planes were slowly approaching in a neat formation, and the reinforcements really came.
The huge transport fleet has already seen the outline of Zhennanguan, and the captain of the Fifth Air Force, Liu Mingzhang, looked at the broken position below and sighed: "The fight at Zhennanguan was really fierce, brothers have suffered a lot, if you come later , I’m afraid it’s about to fall.”
"With us now, this is impossible." Zhang Shaozeng, who had been sitting in the back seat, also saw this situation, and replied with a smile: "The brothers in the garrison regiment are doing well, it's up to us now. "
Liu Mingzhang nodded, and he reached out to pick up the microwave communicator and said, "Attention all crews, attention, all crews, now we have entered the target area, descending to prepare for airdrop. Target area No. [-], carry out airdrop at the limit altitude." Liu Mingzhang's order , A transport plane began to lower its altitude, ready to drop paratroopers.
The huge fleet arrived, and the Gauls were completely stunned.Major General Sino thought it was a large bomber fleet, so he immediately ordered the attack to stop, and the whole army went to the rainforest to avoid the bombing.Taking advantage of the absence of enemy attacks, the paratroopers began to jump out of the cabin one by one.
Chapter 33 Extreme Skydiving
Because it is a battlefield parachuting, in order to avoid staying in the air for too long and give the enemy a chance to shoot, all transport planes lowered their altitude to 300 meters.This is an extremely dangerous height. Although the transport plane chose a small plain behind Zhennan Pass, they still have the danger of hitting the mountain.
The paratroopers are even more dangerous. The limit skydiving height is [-] meters, but that requires extremely vigorous skills. Not only must they control their body posture and open the parachute when there is no time, but they must also be able to control the parachute to slow down the speed. Among the entire West Army, Only a few special forces have such capabilities.
Although paratroopers are equivalent to quasi-special forces, they are still a little short after all. The skydiving height of 300 meters is already their limit.I saw a paratrooper jumping out of the cabin, and opened the parachute the moment they got out of the cabin.Soon the parachutes were opened one by one, and the soldiers carefully manipulated the parachute ropes to control the flight posture and land accurately.
From jumping out of the cabin to landing in less than ten seconds, the paratroopers have to do a lot of things within this limited time. After all, they still wear full-body equipment and their body operations are not so flexible.After paying the price of thirteen paratroopers falling to their deaths, the paratrooper division led by Zhang Shaozeng finally landed on the ground steadily.
Seeing that the paratroopers had landed smoothly, Liu Mingzhang immediately called his companions to turn the plane and drive towards Nanning. Now the fuel tanks of every transport plane are almost empty, and they urgently need fuel replenishment.
Some of the parachutes that fell with the paratroopers were weapon boxes. These are individual heavy weapons, and it is difficult for the human body to carry equipment.After landing, the paratroopers found these weapons boxes immediately by virtue of the conspicuous colors of their parachutes.Recoilless guns, mortars, grenade launchers, and various grenades and bullets were distributed.Under the leadership of Zhang Shaozeng, the soldiers who had distributed their weapons and ammunition rushed towards Zhennan Pass not far away on foot.
Major General Sino was furious. Just now he thought that the opponent was a bomber carrying out an attack mission against the enemy. As a result, the whole army hid in the rainforest because of his order, wasting the attack opportunity in vain.Now that the opponent has clearly arrived with a large number of reinforcements, the morale of the Gaul army immediately plummeted.
Paratroopers are still a new thing in the military theories of various countries, but senior military officers in various countries can deduce that the equipment of paratroopers must be light weapons, so Major General Sino is not too worried about these reinforcements.As long as there are no heavy weapons, the number of people will hardly affect the outcome too much. He just needs to step up his attack on Zhennan Pass and consume all the opponent's ammunition.
"Captain Huang, we are late." Under the guidance of the soldiers of the garrison regiment, Zhang Shaozeng led his men into the concrete bunker.
Because of his severe physical exhaustion, Huang Zhenguo couldn't wait outside for the paratroopers to come over. He could only go back to the bunker and sit in the corner panting heavily to recover his strength.
Seeing Zhang Shaozeng coming in, Huang Zhenguo struggled to stand up, limped and walked in front of the other party to salute, "Report sir, Huang Zhenguo, head of the 2017 Regiment of the First Garrison Division in Western Guangdong, is reporting to you."
Seeing the other party's solemn salute, Zhang Shaozeng also put away his smile and stood at attention to return the salute: "The airborne division directly under the Western Special Zone was ordered to take over your defense line. Thank you for everything you have done for the motherland. Now you can rest."
"Yes, sir." Huang Zhenguo stood at attention solemnly and replied, he had completed the handover of the defense line, and then he sighed and said, "Mr. The regiment has reduced its staff by more than [-]%, and its ammunition has been exhausted. I don’t know if you have brought enough ammunition, and whether you can hold on until Master Li Pinxian arrives.”
"You can rest assured that we have carried a lot of ammunition this time, enough for everyone to use. The equipment of the airborne division is very good, enough for the group of Gauls to drink a pot. You just need to rest at ease and wait until the group of grandsons are defeated. , we will hunt down and kill them wantonly." Zhang Shaozeng comforted Huang Zhenguo with a smile.
"That would be great, I must avenge my brothers." Huang Zhenguo nodded, at this moment the Gaul cannons sounded again, and a new attack began.
The offensive of the Gaul army became more violent, and the Jing army even started a full-scale charge.In fact, after more than 30 hours of repeated attacks, the casualties of the Jing army had exceeded 3%, and more than [-] people were buried here.
Originally calculated according to the usual combat effectiveness, these Jing troops should have lost their combat effectiveness, but the Gauls' supervising team played a great role.
Without changing his face, Major General Xinuo shot those who refused to charge or who were unable to advance as deserters, which greatly stimulated the aggressiveness of the Jing people.In addition, Xinuo reorganized those Jing clan divisions that had suffered heavy losses, and directly captured strong men from the local area to fill them up as a new offensive force.
Relying on the huge population of the Jing nationality, the Gaul army was able to have a steady stream of soldiers. In the end, the strong men didn't even issue weapons, and directly mixed with the Jing soldiers to charge towards Zhennan Pass and used them as meat shields.Zhang Shaozeng's paratrooper division immediately added to the front line, which greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient troops at Zhennanguan.The paratroopers carried enough ammunition to last until Li Pinxian arrived.
The offensive of the Gauls continued to intensify. The corpses of the Jing people who died in the battle had covered the entire hill, turning the formerly green grass in front of the Zhennan Pass into a yellow-green color. It was the uniform of the Gaul colonial army. color.Major General Xinuo felt that the attack was becoming more and more powerless, because the enemy was getting stronger and stronger.
Although Li Pinxian's troops have not yet arrived, the open space behind Zhennan Pass has become a temporary airborne field. A large number of weapons and ammunition were transported here by the Fifth Air Force for airdrops, and even small-caliber artillery was dropped by parachutes.The world's first battle to supply supplies by air was launched under Zhennan Pass, but Zhao Shouhong was still a little dissatisfied.Because there is not enough space to build an airport, many large equipment cannot be transported. At this time, he began to miss the heavy-duty transport helicopter with a large carrying capacity.
The battle lasted for four days, and Major General Xinuo had to retreat because Li Pinxian's troops had already reached Zhennan Pass.Not only the other two garrison regiments of the First Garrison Division in Western Guangdong arrived together, they also brought a batch of large-caliber howitzers.When more than 40 150mm howitzers raised their muzzles and launched an artillery attack on the Gaul artillery, the offensive was over.
The guns of the Gallic army were insufficient in caliber, and the fortress artillery had already suppressed them. Only when the numbers were very different, they could continue to suppress the Zhennan Pass in a dispersed manner.When so many large-caliber howitzers and hundreds of other artillery pieces of various calibers arrived with Li Pinxian, they couldn't get much benefit.
Chapter 34 Prosperous Hangzhou
Realizing that the defense at Zhennan Pass was getting stronger and stronger, Major General Xinuo had no choice but to retreat.After losing the vigor of the initial attack, the Gaul army had no choice but to defend on the spot and wait for the Japanese army in the north to make a breakthrough before cooperating.Both the Wa Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom wanted to let the other party make a breakthrough first, so both the north and the south fell into silence for the time being.The Western Special Zone, the Wa Kingdom, and the Gaul Kingdom have not declared war, and the two sides have fallen into an embarrassing state of neither war nor peace.
