Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 448 Decapitation Plan! (Subscription Request)
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

After the command of the front line was transferred to Fang Ligong.

Chu Yunfei also rushed back to Changzhi as soon as possible.

"Director Qian, please."

"Commander Chu, please."

In Changzhi Restaurant.

Exquisite dishes were placed on the table.

“Are these Suzhou and Wuxi dishes or Huaiyang dishes?”

Sun Weimou, who was accompanying him, quietly "explained": "The commander specially sent people to invite several chefs from there. There are some restrictions on the ingredients, so please don't be offended, Director Qian."

"No, no, Commander Chu is thoughtful."

"please"

Qian Dajun's brows relaxed, and he was obviously in a good mood. He put down his chopsticks and said slowly with emotion: "I have been working in Shanxi for such a long time, and I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time."

At the dinner table, Chu Yunfei was patient and did not mention anything about work.

After dinner, he invited Qian Dajun to go to the lobby to listen to a play.

It's the end.

Qian Dajun looked down at the watch on his wrist. The time was already 9:40.

Chu Yunfei still didn't say what he wanted to see him about.

To know.

The first moment after Chu Yunfei returned to Changzhi headquarters.

Didn't even go home.

He did not visit his pregnant wife at home immediately.

Instead, he stayed at the headquarters for a day and a night.

At the same time, he called Sun Weimou, who was doing research outside, back to drink and eat with him.

Things have come to this point.

How could there be no need to ask him for help?

Qian Dajun basically didn't listen to anything in this shadow play. All he was thinking about was what Chu Yunfei's purpose was.

The renovation of Taiyuan Airport has been basically completed, but it is extremely difficult to rebuild the Chinese Air Force at present.

Having three hundred aircraft and having three hundred aircraft capable of carrying out daily combat missions are two completely different concepts.

It's easy to buy three hundred planes.

The American Hawk 35 fighter jets purchased in 3 cost 9.7 national currency per unit.

The annual fiscal revenue of the entire Shanxi region is enough to purchase one hundred fighter jets.

However, if you want to keep these 100 fighter jets in the air and in combat, you will need to spend more than twice the purchase price each year.

And the most crucial point is.

Because of the restrictions of the treaty.

If the Americans today want to sell fighter jets directly to the Republic of China, they need to bypass the relevant neutrality treaties.

Transported into the country through the Soviet Union.

That’s right, it is not yet possible to transport directly via the Burma Road.

The parts could only be transported into the country through the Soviet Union and assembled in Lanzhou.

It is difficult and almost impossible to rebuild the air force in a short period of time.

Even though Chang Ruiyuan had already informed him.

The Soviet side and Chu Yunfei reached a certain degree of consensus on the establishment of the Air Force.

He also didn't think that Chu Yunfei's troops could rebuild the air force.

Especially the air forces in World War II.

It was quite difficult to maintain the situation before the war. The Shanxi region today is no longer the Jin army which only had tens of thousands of troops before the war.

A total of nearly 300,000 armed forces.

After all the food and money is consumed by people and horses, how much money will be left in Shanxi’s finances?
Especially the resettlement of refugees, which involves a lot of costs in the early stages and a huge investment!

Even troops like the Construction Corps and the Agricultural Reclamation Corps.

After all, we still have to eat and get paid, right?

Work-for-relief can certainly solve some problems, but it is not the fundamental solution.

Other measures are needed to boost the economy.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he took the initiative to speak: "Commander Chu, you are in a hurry to return to Changzhi this time. I think you must have important matters to deal with, right?"

Chu Yunfei nodded with a smile: "Director Qian should have received the news that the chairman intends to transfer me to the Tianshui Camp as the director, right?"

"Ah."

Qian Dajun nodded.

There's a sense of "the dog is abandoned after the rabbit is dead" here.

Chu Yunfei was not asked to continue serving as the commander of the Flying Tigers.

The implication of apparent promotion and hidden reduction is very obvious.

But there is also an obvious logical problem here.

Even if Chu Yunfei was able to command so many troops in the Second War Zone, Yan Laoxi, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, might not be more effective than him.

What's more, he is the director of the headquarters.

Very special.

Because it is a dispatched agency of the committee, it can often influence the decisions of more than two war zones.

Today's First and Second War Zones, the Eighth and Fifth War Zones, and even the Shandong-Jiangsu War Zone, Hebei-Chahar and other guerrilla war zones.

It can be said that the entire Jiangbei.

Basically, everything is subject to Chu Yunfei's orders.

This in itself does not conform to Chang Ruiyuan's employment standards and promotion principles.

What puzzled Qian Dajun the most was.

Despite such an outrageous appointment, no one from the Military Commission stood up to oppose it.

If Bai Jiansheng were still in the center, he would definitely express his opposition.

After all, it involves the Fifth War Zone and Li Zongren.

But the problem is that he is now serving as deputy director of the Guilin Headquarters.

He was not able to participate in the meeting of the headquarters at all.

Now even he, the director of the Aviation Commission, has received the news.
"No matter how great Yun Fei's military achievements are, he is only a fifth-term student of the Whampoa Military Academy. The commanders of various war zones are either my old superiors or my predecessors. With Yun Fei's qualifications, it is absolutely impossible for him to hold such a position."

"But now that the commanders of the various war zones have not expressed their views, Yun Fei is in a difficult position."

Chu Yunfei sighed and said slowly: "The chairman of the Northwest issue will have to deal with it sooner or later. Yunfei wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the cancer of Qing Ma."

"Commander Chu, what do you mean?"

"Director Qian, do you still remember the two bomber squadrons at Lanzhou Airport?"

Qian Dajun nodded: "I know. They were left in the northwest by the chairman as the only remaining strategic bombing force to support the strategic counterattack in the Second War Zone. But what does this have to do with the Northwest issue?"

"Find a reason to transfer them to Taiyuan and convert all these fighters into transport aircraft."

"When shooting a person, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the king first. As long as we can kill Ma Ziqing, the dead chess game in the northwest can be completely revived."

"This..." Qian Dajun's face was full of horror.

"Commander Chu, do you mean by paratroopers?"

this point in time.

No country has ever used parachuting to conduct actual combat operations.

But there has been training.

The so-called "paratroopers" mentioned by Qian Dajun.

In fact, they are the light infantry who fight after landing in the transport plane.

He is not the kind of special forces who conduct parachute operations.

As for China's first paratrooper unit, it was formed in 1944.

It was called the Hongxiang Force, and its number of people was about a thousand.

"Director Qian, do you know that I have an elite force of about a thousand people?"

Qian Dajun blurted out: "Is it the assault group led by Captain Zhou Weiguo?"

"But in the recent wars, there has been no news of their activities. Many people outside are speculating whether they have been injured in the previous battles and are unable to complete the recovery now."

Chu Yunfei smiled and nodded: "Yes and no."

The assault regiment had indeed suffered heavy casualties before.

More importantly, they are carrying out reforms and explorations in modernization construction.

Especially when Chu Yunfei made up his mind to take action against the northwest.

Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and others began special training.

to this end.

Chu Yunfei also found a way to get relevant information about Lanzhou Airport from the headquarters.

Such a task is difficult to perform.

Once it fails.

Not only is it possible that they will be trapped in an endless protracted war, but at the very least it will delay Chu Yunfei for a year or two.

This will greatly affect the post-war economic recovery in Shanxi and other regions, as well as the corresponding counterattack plans.

Once the Japanese army made up its mind to start attacking Southeast Asia and other regions.

And the Soviet-German War broke out.

Then the amount of foreign material aid that the entire Second World War zone can accept will further decrease.

Combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected.

Without artillery and troops attacking the city, the casualties would definitely not be small.

Chu Yunfei was reluctant and unwilling to fight such a stupid battle.

If the troops are split up to conduct mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.

When will we be able to continue to recover the lost territory?

and so!
This raid must succeed, not fail.

To complete such a bold battle plan, Qian Dajun's support is needed.

This matter must be kept secret from the headquarters.

It can only be implemented smoothly if Chang Ruiyuan knows about it.

First of all, it is easy to cause intelligence leakage, and there are naturally many people who are unwilling to see the Northwest being purged. Moreover, many people simply do not want to deal with the Northwest issue, but simply want to see Chu Yunfei suffer a setback.

Secondly.

No one could bear the consequences of the failure of the plan, including Hu Zongnan, Chang Ruiyuan, and all parties involved in the war.

This naturally includes Chu Yunfei and the Red Party.

Once it fails, it will be impossible to block the news even if you want to.

The Japanese will naturally help to promote it on a large scale.

Moreover, such a combat plan cannot be known to the Soviet Union and the United States.

Once something goes wrong.

The Soviet Union and the United States will inevitably have to reassess their relations with the Republic of China.

What they want is a half-dead Republic of China.

An obedient republic.

Rather than a Republic of China that wants to show off its capabilities despite internal and external troubles.

Qian Dajun was silent for a moment, then asked, "How confident are you, Chief Chu?"

"I need the Military Control Commission to provide me with Ma Zixiang's location to increase the success rate of the operation."

"Of course this is no problem."

"If we can land at the airport smoothly, I have more than 70% chance of winning the battle. The cavalry and tank units will reinforce us as soon as possible. Together with the 14th Army and Commander Hu's troops that have been secretly deployed, it will be no problem for us to defeat their divisions."

Qian Dajun was obviously a little moved. He then asked: "What if they still want to resist?"

Chu Yunfei's tone was calm, but his murderous intent was not concealed: "The leader is dead, and the rest are just rotten fish and shrimp. If they resist stubbornly, we will cut off the roots and wipe them out completely!"

Qian Dajun thought carefully for a moment and nodded slowly: "I need to go to Shancheng to explain this matter to the chairman in person."

"No problem. If the principal agrees, let's arrange this."

"Okay." Qian Dajun slowly stood up.

Chu Yunfei stood in front of the restaurant and saw the guests off.

After watching Qian Dajun get into the car, Zhao Pengcheng said slowly, "Sir, are you sure?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head with a half-smile: "With the strength of two companies, Zhou Weiguo and his men are under great pressure to resist the attack of a cavalry division, but we are not without a chance."

"There are no shelters or fortifications that can be used in places like airports, and most importantly, we cannot equip ourselves with a large number of automatic weapons and heavy weapons."

Zhao Pengcheng's voice became smaller and smaller.

He couldn't understand where his boss's confidence came from.

Is it possible to build defensive fortifications at the airport in advance?
But that is Ma Zixiang's territory.

Why should our people be asked to repair fortifications?

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Without the support of the chairman, the plan still needs to be implemented, and the success rate will naturally decrease."

"What if the chairman chooses to take the risk and support this action?"

Chu Yunfei spoke slowly: "We will get a limited amount of air support, and the raid after completing the decapitation mission will definitely be no problem."

"In addition, after the transport aircraft quickly completes its combat mission, it can also refuel and take off quickly to complete the deployment of the second batch of combat troops within 24 hours."

"If possible, we can even organize a group of civilian aircraft to airdrop supplies to provide combat support, but no one has received relevant training in this regard."

Zhao Pengcheng was silent for a moment, then continued: "Sir, we're here, aren't you going in?"

In front of Changzhi Newspaper Office.

Zhao Pengcheng looked at Chu Yunfei standing motionless at the door and couldn't help but remind him.

Chu Yunfei was startled, a strange emotion arose in his heart, and then he knocked on the door of the newspaper office.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

There were still rooms with lights on in the newspaper office.

Visiting in the middle of the night.

Several guards quickly entered combat status.

Song Songde lit the lamp and stepped forward: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Chu Yunfei."

Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside the door, the guards relaxed at this time.

These guards are not something that ordinary people can do.

These people are all experts carefully selected from Chu Yunfei’s old guard company.

As for the idea of ​​not distinguishing between public and private, that's pure bullshit.

I don’t know how many people want to kill Chu Yunfei, and how many people want to kill Song Wenying and the baby in her belly.

Chu Yunfei not only arranged guards at home.

A military police company was even stationed directly in Changzhi City.

It is to ensure Song Wenying's safety.

"Brother-in-law, why are you back? Sister Wenying is still working. I'll take you there."

"It's Songde, please lead the way."

In the president's office.

Relying on the light of kerosene lamp.

Song Wenying continued to review the manuscript.

In the blink of an eye.

I haven't seen my wife for two and a half months.

Chu Yunfei still had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Maybe it’s longing, maybe it’s some other emotion.

"Wenying."

"Brother Yun, why are you back from the front line?" Song Wenying was obviously very surprised and immediately put down the manuscript in his hand.

In her heart, she always felt that Chu Yunfei didn't have her and the child in his heart.

There are only family, country, the people, and military affairs.

And now, the fighting on the front line has not yet subsided.

Chu Yunfei actually returned to Changzhi.

Could it be that it’s because he missed her?

For a moment, Song Wenying's heart was beating like a deer, and she was extremely happy.

Chu Yunfei did not answer Song Wenying directly but picked up the manuscript on the table.

Just a glance.

Then I saw the content currently reported above.

It was mainly reports on the battle situation on the front line, and the main propaganda direction was that the front-line soldiers lacked cotton shoes and cloth shoes.

The public is called upon to donate their unused cloth shoes to support the front line.

Seeing Chu Yunfei looking at it seriously.

Song Wenying reminded quietly: "All reports involving the military must be reviewed by me in the end to avoid any problems."

"We do need to be careful about this, but we shouldn't work so late. As a president, you can't always do it yourself."

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Song Wenying pointed to her growing belly with her hand and said, "My child and I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I came to visit you just for fun. The main reason is that I need to tell you something in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this matter will cause bad consequences."

"What's the matter?" Song Wenying seemed to be thinking about something. She was very smart and guessed at the first moment that this was definitely not a good thing.

Otherwise, with Chu Yunfei's personality, how could he possibly come here?

After Chu Yunfei entered the room.

Zhao Pengcheng just stood outside the door and chatted with Song Songde from the newspaper office.

"Captain Chu has already gone in, why doesn't Adjutant Zhao take a break?"

"The people have gone in, but the lights are still on. Commander Chu didn't tell us in advance that we should stay here to rest."

Song Songde was shocked: "What do you mean, my brother-in-law is going back to the base outside the city?"

Zhao Pengcheng nodded slightly.

Most likely so.

Working together for such a long time.

Zhao Pengcheng also discovered a major characteristic of Chu Yunfei.

That is, national affairs come first and military affairs are important.

As for how is the family.

Chu Yunfei didn't seem to be particularly concerned.

Even though Song Wenying had already spoiled the child at this time.

Chu Yunfei would still only send a telegram back to inquire about the situation when the battle situation on the front line was stable.

In Zhao Pengcheng’s impression.

When Chu Yunfei was on the front line, he didn't even make a phone call to the Changzhi newspaper office.

Song Songde looked unconvinced.

I was gone for three months.

Will you stay for a few days when you come back this time?

Just like this, he huddled up and chatted with Zhao Pengcheng in a casual manner.

as predicted.

About fifteen minutes.

Chu Yunfei appeared in front of the two again: "Go back."

"Yes!"

Song Songde was dumbfounded: "Brother-in-law, you are leaving now. My sister has been waiting for you for a long time."

"It is precisely because I know that she misses me that I took the time to come here. Song De, please take good care of your sister."

Chu Yunfei said as he slapped dozens of French currency into his hand: "I heard that you have been doing well in school recently, so this is a reward for you."

"Thank you, brother-in-law, but what about Sister Wenying?"

"It's okay, Wenying will understand."

After greeting the soldiers in the yard and giving each of them a few words of encouragement, Chu Yunfei quickly left the Changzhi newspaper office and walked out of the city.

Zhao Pengcheng asked curiously, "Commander Chu, why did you make such a special trip?"

"Think about it, why did I come back this time?"

Zhao Pengcheng suddenly realized: "Are you worried that the news won't be blocked and will affect your sister-in-law?"
