~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~    Chapter 454: The east wind blows, the war drums sound!

In Lu Shan’s original setting, he and Gao Zhihang took part of the plane and landed at two simple hidden airports, Ji'an and Antu, after succeeding, but now there is an extra husband coming out, Lu Shan himself does not need to fly back, and he can stay and direct the battle himself.

This is a timely help for him.

With a husband and Gao Zhihang, he said he could free himself and make peace with the help of making arrangements and commands.

However, before the sneak attack on Dongta Airport, two things must be completed first. The first is whether the troops have been mobilized, and the second is whether the ships needed to transport are also complete.

During this sneak attack, Lu Shan planned to only lead the direct team, the artillery brigade and the cavalry brigade, and the 1st Brigade stayed.

The Artillery Brigade is now the fourth battalion of the two regiments, one infantry artillery battalion, two mountain artillery battalion, one field artillery battalion, and one infantry artillery battalion under construction!

An infantry artillery battalion has twelve infantry artillery, a mountain artillery battalion has twelve to sixteen mountain artillery, and the field artillery battalion has eight field artillery. The heavy artillery battalion under construction actually has only one company, with a total of two 120mm howitzers, which were captured by the Japanese Izuka Regiment in Yama Castle.

Lu Shan planned to take away an insidious artillery battalion, a mountain artillery battalion and a field artillery battalion, with a total of nearly thirty artillery guns!

Although the number of artillery is incomparable to that of the Japanese army and the number of artillery shells is not large, it will be devastating if the Japanese army is caught off guard.

Then there was the cavalry brigade. Lu Shan planned to take away a regiment and stay one regiment. As a mobile force, the cavalry's ability to move faster than the infantry. Jiangqiao's experience in the War of Resistance showed that cavalry had a natural advantage in dealing with Japanese infantry.

The Japanese army lacked resources in China, and their combat methods and methods were still at the mindset of World War I. From the fact that Japan did not have its own air force, it was seen that the air force was assigned to the land and the navy that although the Japanese army had the best soldiers in the world, their commanders were all old guys with rigid thinking!

Now, in the Japanese army, officers who participated in World War I basically control various important positions in the Japanese army.

In this way, Lu Shan actually didn't take away many troops, including the direct team and pilots, there were less than 3,000 people.

The reason why Lu Shan only brought so many people was to prevent the Japanese from knowing his true purpose.

The mobilization of troops of two or three thousand people should not attract too much attention from the Japanese, so that their strategic intentions will not be discovered.

Everything was almost ready, Lu Shan was ready to move. First of all, the three artillery battalions were already moving. Lu Shan, who was under the name of Qingliu Military Region, ordered the three battalions in Ying'ermen Town in Qingyuan County, had already felt that the brigade commander He Shili was on standby.

The 101st Regiment of the 100th Cavalry Brigade also entered Nanzamu Town and joined forces with the 108th Regiment in Huajiujiang. The brigade commander Zhou Baosheng personally led the troops.

Then Lu Shan led a staff and communication team of only 30 people, and with most of the direct team, one hundred pilots, led by **fu and Gao Zhihang, took twenty cars, left Tonghua County overnight, and headed south along the Fengtong Highway.

The convoy walked for a day and a night in the bumps. On the evening of July 3, the convoy arrived at Ying'emen Town, Qingyuan County. Li Chunrun, Sun Mingchen and others had been waiting in the town for a long time.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Lu Shan set up the temporary command center in the City God Temple outside the town!

Although the Chenghuang Temple is not big, it is enough as a temporary command center, not to mention that the command center he led was only more than 30 people.

There were only about fifteen or six combat staff members, five or six communications staff members, four radio stations, plus radio operators and translators.

As for the guards, if I have iron manganese and his direct team, do you still have to worry about the safety of the command center?

The car was accompanied by two diesel generators, and soon the lights lit up in the Chenghuang Temple. Then the command center personnel arrived, set up radio stations and arranged the command center. These were all practiced many times. In less than half an hour, the entire command center was running in an orderly manner.

"Brother Binpu, how are I preparing for the boat?" Lu Shan asked Li Chunrun, who was walking side by side with him.

"It's almost done. It's not easy to find a large ship of more than ten tons, but the Guo family promised to rent us ten 100 tons of ships, and two 300 tons of cargo ships!" Li Chunrun replied.

"Okay, very good. You didn't tell Mr. Guo what we wanted to do for a boat, right?" Lu Shan asked.

"No, I just said that it is not convenient for us to transport military rations. I borrow a boat for a while. If it doesn't work, it can be considered rent!" Li Chunrun said, "In addition to shipping grain, the Guo family's ships also run for transportation when they are idle. Isn't this a war now? Many of the Guo family's ships are idle at the wharf, just for my use!"

"It's very good, I'm worried about not having enough transportation capacity!" Lu Shan said, "Try to collect some ships and tell the bosses that we will requisition their ships, and the rent will not be reduced to them at all."

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I have already paid the rent deposit. Now they are all living in the warehouse at the dock, keeping food and drink, and being on standby at any time!"

"I feel relieved when doing things carefully and meticulously!"

"No one is allowed to approach the realm outside the ten-meter line!" Lu Shan ordered Yang Shangwu to hold the highest-level military meeting and he must ensure that no outsider can be seen within ten meters of his own people around the conference room.

A side hall in Chenghuang Temple sat in a temporary conference room, pulled wires, and hung up electric lights, which were all over the place.

Hua Jiujiang, Tong Biliang, Liang Xifu, Sun Mingchen, Jin Yutian, Jiang Shaoquan, Zhou Baosheng, Tieman, **fu, Gao Zhihang, and He Shili sat down in a staggered manner. In addition to these familiar faces, there were also Zhai Lequan, the political department supervisor of Lu Shan from the 1st brigade, and Wang Heshou, the new secretary of the Special Committee of the East Column (temporarily acting as a combat staff member in the headquarters), and some staff members involved in the "sneak attack on Dongta Airport" plan.

"Today's meeting is the highest secret. It's best for everyone notes, just take notes and write them with their brains!" Lu Shan and Li Chunrun left, sat down and said.

People who were originally planning to take out the notebook to record all put away their notebooks and put their pens on them.

"Okay, I'll introduce someone to you first!" Lu Shan pointed at Gao Zhihang with a smile and said, "Zhihang, stand up and get to know everyone. From now on, everyone will be comrades and comrades-in-arms!"

Gao Zhihang, who had just changed into the blue and gray military uniform of the East Zong, stood attentively, looked around everyone and saluted: "Gao Zhihang, trust the education director of the East Zong Aviation School, please give me some advice!"

"Gao Zhihang, is it the Flying Eagles Team in the Aviation..."

"Yes, I am the Gao Crooked Pilot!" Gao Zhihang said calmly.

"I'm sorry, Liang is talking soon, so don't take it to heart for Education Gao!" Liang Shifu apologized with a red face.

"It's okay, Captain Liang, I was a cripple, this is a fact, and even if I deny it, I can't change this fact." Gao Zhihang said.

"This time, the most important thing is to capture the airport, then send the 100 pilots led by **fu and Gao Zhihang into the airport, then guard the airport, and let them drive the plane away from the airport. This is the first phase of combat mission!" Lu Shan said.

"The task of your first phase is to capture Fushun without disturbing the enemy, because we need Fushun as a support point, so that we can rush to Fengtian in the shortest time. If we cannot conquer Fushun, or encounter resistance when attacking Fushun, then our sneak attack plan will become very difficult. And once the Japanese army is alert, Dongta Airport will inevitably be ready for combat, and then it will be difficult for us to sneak attack the airport."

"So the first step is that we must take a good step, attack and control Fushun, and also trick the enemy into being under the nose of the Japanese army. There is only one way to attack with makeup!" Lu Shan said, "Staff General Zhai, explain our combat plan to you!"

Zhai Lequan nodded, stood up and walked to the wall. A huge military map was hung on the wall, and the Eastern Column and the Japanese army were clearly marked with red and blue pens.

"Since we want to put on makeup and sneak attacks, we need the Japanese army uniforms and the puppet army uniforms. Don't worry about this. We have prepared it for everyone, five hundred Japanese army uniforms and three thousand puppet army uniforms." Zhai Lequan picked up a baton and said in the map. "In this battle, the direct team will disguise as the Japanese army to attack Fushun. The Hua Jiujiang Regiment and Tong Biliang Regiment will disguise as the puppet army. The commander of the brigade Sun Mingchen then enters Fushun, controls all traffic routes and villages and towns, and strictly blocks the news. Once the direct team succeeds, Brother Binpu, you will lead Jin Yutian's 109th Regiment, Liang Shifu's 105th Regiment, He Shili's three artillery battalions and boats to quickly rush to Fushun. It is best to sail at night, so that you can avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese and puppets!"

Li Chunrun nodded. This arrangement is more appropriate. Night sailing is not a big deal for the old boatmen on the Hunhe River.

"Battle Commander Zhou Baosheng's cavalry regiment, your mission is to attack the camp of the Second Japanese Railway Guards of Tigerstone Taiwan while we launch a sneak attack on the airport. You can dress up as a Japanese cavalry raid!" The pointed wooden stick in Zhai Lequan's hand pointed at the position of the second Japanese Railway Guards of Tigerstone Taiwan.

"The Japanese Kwantung Army Second Railway Guard Stationed in Hushitai has more than 300 people. This unit was the culprit of Japan's September 18th Incident last year. So I ordered that if the opponent's officers can be captured, try to capture them. If they cannot be captured, they will be shot and killed. However, the premise is that the safety of our soldiers must be ensured, and our soldiers cannot be injured or killed just because of the capture of Japanese prisoners!" Lu Shan said.

"Commander-in-Chief, how do you make sure there is no danger?" Zhou Baosheng was stunned. This order was really difficult to execute.

"I took off all my clothes and hugged my head with my hands. I don't believe it anymore. It's all like this. They can still hide their weapons!" Lu Shan thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to, shoot them on the spot!"

"Okay, the commander-in-chief's method is good!" Zhou Baosheng smiled.

"Remember to take photos, this is a precious historical shot. We must stay to educate future generations!" Lu Shan added.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will never forget it!"

"The Japanese railway garrison in Hushitai is not weak in combat. You can't underestimate the enemy. Once the battle at Dongta Airport starts, the Japanese army in Tieling will definitely go south to reinforce. This is a tough battle. Your mission is to delay the Japanese army for 24 hours!" Lu Shan asked, "Can you do it?"

"Yes!" Zhou Baosheng stood up and said loudly.

"Well, it's very good, you sit down!" Lu Shan nodded and said to Zhai Lequan, "You, continue!"

"Brig Commander Li, you lead two regiments down the Hunhe River, seize the Hunhe Railway Bridge, and then quickly pass by, capture Xinglongdian, and block the Japanese army that may have come from Xinmin!" Zhai Lequan said.

"What should I do if the Japanese army in Liaoyang and Benxi direction?" Li Chunrun asked.

"The Japanese army in these two directions will be dealt with by themselves, so Brigade Commander Li doesn't have to worry!" Zhai Lequan explained.

"Commander-in-Chief, why don't we capture Fengtian? The Fengtian Japanese Army has only one 39th Brigade and a small number of military police and puppet troops, with a total force of only more than 10,000?" Sun Mingchen suggested.

"I have thought about Brigade Commander Sun's proposal, but this is not realistic. Although there are not many Japanese troops in Fengtian, they have strong city defense, heavy artillery, and a large number of weapons, ammunition and material reserves. We lack the necessary weapons. In addition, Japan has a large number of expatriates in Fengtian, and they can be armed at any time. Fengtian Arsenal is not short of weapons. Therefore, we do not have much chance of winning when attacking Fengtian. Once we can't capture it for a long time, the Japanese reinforcements will inevitably surround us from the periphery. At that time, we will be in danger!" Lu Shan explained.

"Brother Yaozu, you have to eat one bite at a time. Let's eat this Dongta Airport first. As long as we can eat it, it will be enough for us to digest it for a while." Li Chunrun said.

"Yes, I'm too anxious!" Sun Mingchen said.

"I also want to attack Fengtian, but we don't have this strength now. Whether we can take down Dongta Airport depends on whether our plan and cooperation are thorough. Once a problem occurs in a certain link, our plan may fail, so everyone must remember that we must not be careless!" Lu Shan solemnly reminded.

"The Dongta Airport has an airport garrison, with a sufficient force of about 500 people, equipped with light and heavy machine guns, and its firepower is very strong, so a strong attack is not advisable. We will adopt an internal and external cooperation method, arrange our direct team to infiltrate through our inside line, control the airport console and alarm system, and cut off the airport's external contact. Then the army will land at the dock from the airport. Brigade Commander Sun, your task is to lead two regiments under your command to occupy the road west of the airport and the commanding heights on both sides, and block the Japanese army coming out of Fengtian City one by one!" Zhai Lequan continued to explain the plan.

"Commander-in-Chief, if we can lead the Japanese army in Fengtian City out, can we take the opportunity to capture Fengtian while it is empty?" Sun Mingchen said.

"It seems that Brigade Commander Sun is obsessed with attacking Fengtian City!" Lu Shan laughed, "If you go out in full force, it would be an opportunity, but this opportunity is too much. It would be a risky attack on Dongta Airport. If you take the risk of attacking Fengtian, it would be a snake swallowing an elephant. If you want to fight, you will not let me slip away. If you can't do it, I will never do it. I can't joke about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under my subordinates!" Lu Shan said seriously, "Of course, Brigade Commander Sun's idea is good, and the significance of capturing Fengtian is extraordinary, but our current goal is to eat a bite of meat and strengthen ourselves. When we have greater strength, we can eat more meat. Then we will eat it again, and sooner or later Fengtian City will belong to us!"
