#255 - Plan A
Late May.
The weather in North China began to turn hot.
The crops in the fields also turned golden.
In places like Hedong and Zezhou in Jin Province, the harvest had already begun, and the fields were filled with scenes of abundance.
The wheat in the fields of Henan was also ripe. The tens of thousands of troops from the Taiyue Military Region, responsible for defense, also managed to steal some time to help with the harvest. The land here had been assigned to the departing people with signed and sealed deeds, and the harvest would be used to compensate them after the war, so the people left with peace of mind.
Now, the crops in the fields are theoretically bought out by the local organizations of the base areas.
Therefore, with the timing well calculated, the military region saved several million catties of grain transportation from Jin Province to Henan. This transportation capacity was naturally used to supplement the transportation of weapons and ammunition.
The reorganized Class A and Class B regiments had a considerable number of large and small artillery pieces. There were also a large number of 120mm mortars in the city defenses. These shells all needed to be transported from places like Lu'an and Zezhou, crossing the towering mountains of Taihang. If it weren't for the recent expansion of the road for trucks to allow simple passage for G506 trucks,
transporting so much ammunition would have been a headache.
Now, it's not just ammunition, but also the transportation of gasoline and diesel that is a troublesome matter. The gasoline and diesel produced from the border areas now have to travel thousands of miles to reach the front lines. The loss in the middle is also considerable. For a journey of more than 500 kilometers, if it were a one-way direct trip, it would take more than two days of continuous travel day and night to deliver it.
But now, it's not following this direct delivery model, but is divided into 4 relay segments to complete. Now, there are more than 400 trucks running day and night in relay transportation, which also happens to transport the excess grain harvested back to the temporary resettlement areas of the people in Hedong.
Both sides are preparing for war in full swing.
From the frequent telegrams and troop movement information of the Japanese devils, from Shimen to Jizhou, 200,000 Japanese troops have been deployed.
A full-scale offensive is about to begin.
In Yanjing, the Japanese devils' newspapers began to vigorously promote the power of the Imperial Army, claiming that the annihilation of the Eighth Route Army was just around the corner.
The people of Yanjing, who were originally excited by the Eighth Route Army's capture of Jin Province, couldn't help but recall the tragic past of a few years ago when they saw the continuous information about the Japanese army's movements in the newspapers.
One after another, people with conscience couldn't help but shake their heads in silence.
In the teahouses, the storytelling of the Xing Tang period has now been changed to telling the story of Yue Quan's biography of the Eight Great Hammers breaking the Zhuxian Town.
In the accompanying capital, the GMD (Guomindang), deliberately avoiding the Jin Province war information from becoming a hotspot, seemed to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the actions of the Japanese devils. For them, both the current Japanese devils and the Eighth Route Army were hidden dangers. It would be ideal if they could reap the benefits.
Despite the Allied forces repeatedly urging the GMD to reorganize the main force of the Eighth War Zone and advance to Luoyi to seize the new battleground of the Japanese devils in Yuzhong, and even drive the Japanese devils out of Yu Province in one fell swoop, in order to coordinate the Eighth Route Army's defense on the south bank of the Yellow River.
To ensure that the good situation in North China is not ruined.
But it did not get a response from the GMD.
They didn't even make any moves to mobilize troops, as if they were fighting a tacit war with the Japanese devils.
General Shi had to forcibly order a batch of military supplies to be transported to the border area to vent his dissatisfaction, among which the most useful for the border area was a batch of P51D fighter jets' 12.7mm machine guns and instruments, as well as a squadron of more than 30 pilots.
Originally, it was to replenish the consumption of the Flying Tigers, but now that the GMD was not moving, General Shi directly supplemented these forces to the border area and sent them to Taiyuan.
Undercurrents were surging, but the people of the accompanying capital hardly felt it. Under the GMD's strict information blockade, there were only faint voices from the Eighth Office and the border area radio station, and most people could not hear it at all.
Ren Zhong didn't expect to receive such a generous gift from General Shi without making a move this time, but he accepted it with a smile. These things were urgently needed at the moment, especially the skilled and elite pilots, which Ren Zhong had not been able to train for the border area in the short term.
Soon, these pilots were dispersed to the fighter squadrons on the front lines. They generally became the lead planes of the formations, undertaking the main combat missions and leading the new recruits.
Compared with these old birds, although the passionate young people trained in the border area were brave and willing to fight, it would be empty talk if they could not maximize the potential of the P51D fighter jets to form combat results.
This time, Ren Zhong had no historical information as a reference at all, and he was actually very nervous. Although he was not in the central hub of the border area to oversee the overall situation, Ren Zhong actually had a lot of information based on Chief of Staff Ye's intelligence briefings and the strategic telecommunications decryption team.
In addition, referring to the Japanese devils' troop strength and division organization intelligence in the main world, Ren Zhong had conducted several war game deductions with the sand sculpture netizens on the accurate map of the main world.
In the eyes of the sand sculpture netizens, this netizen with the code name "Anti-Japanese Little Staff Officer" was a sand sculpture, always treating some imaginary scenarios as real to deduce, and the key was to give out money at every turn, giving out red envelopes of three or five hundred as soon as a netizen posted some ideas that felt reasonable.
This excited the silly netizens. In the anti-Japanese fantasy Q group with more than 3,000 people, ideas popped up one after another, so many that Ren Zhong couldn't keep up. He had to recruit two senior military fans to control the situation, summarize, and send them to him for reference.
Therefore, although it seemed that Ren Zhong never left his house in the Bright Sword world, his mind was actually filled with many whimsical ideas from the main world.
June 5th.
“Starting today, we will launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province and must eliminate all resistance forces in Jin Province!” Early in the morning, Ren Zhong received an important piece of intelligence.
This was a formal combat order issued by the Japanese base camp, intercepted and deciphered by the strategic telecommunications decryption team, and sent to Ren Zhong.
Immediately afterward, Ren Zhong discovered that the exchange of aerial telegrams by the Japanese North China Front had suddenly become several times busier. These large amounts of telecommunications information were all deciphered and sent over.
After Ren Zhong combined this information, he concluded that the Japanese's full-scale offensive was indeed about to begin. After cross-validation, judging from the telegram exchanges, 'Muri' was a common code name used by the Japanese for Thursday, and this was the day the Japanese would attack.
Now, as expected, the Japanese Ninth Army was dividing into two routes, with the main force stationed in Shijiazhuang and Jizhou, obviously attacking from the Zhengtai Line and the southern line from Henan.
“Chief Ye, I believe you have also received all the intelligence. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese's operation date is this Thursday.” After confirming the news, Ren Zhong held talks with Chief Ye.
“According to our plan, it is now time to execute Plan A.”
“Old Brother Ren, what do you need us to do?” Chief Ye, of course, knew what Plan A was, and he asked calmly.
“I need front-line scouts to reconfirm the takeoff and landing situation at the Japanese airport. If there are no abnormalities, we will start executing Plan A at dusk!”
“Secondly, order the warplanes on the front lines of Lu'an and Zezhou to carry rockets. After the attack, conduct a round of fire reconnaissance on the Japanese airports on the front lines of Shijiazhuang and Jizhong to verify the effectiveness of the attack!”
Plan A was a big move that Ren Zhong had been holding back, a bold plan that had gradually formed since the last missile operation.
In order to implement this plan, Ren Zhong conducted thorough surveys and preparations in the main world and the Bright Sword world.
In the early stage, scouts were sent to the Bright Sword world to conduct preliminary measurements of the geographical latitude and longitude of the Japanese airports in various parts of North China. At the same time, Ren Zhong conducted on-the-spot inspections and verifications in the main world. Although some airports no longer existed in the main world, some have continued to be used. Through field visits and searching local chronicles and other information, Ren Zhong basically found the original sites of the airports in the Bright Sword world and used modern theodolites to accurately test the latitude and longitude of the airports.
Extremely accurate data was obtained.
This data had already been sent to the Maowusu base, where more than 50 Dongfeng I missiles, which had been hoarded until now, were all taken out and the strike parameters were adjusted.
Now the Japanese have more than a dozen airports in North China, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, including Nanyuan, Xijiao, Zhengding, Zhangbei, Miyun, Jinan, Dexian, Kaifeng, Qingzhenhua, and Xinxiang, all of which are within the range of the Dongfeng Express.
Ren Zhong's Plan A was to go all in and strike all the main airports of the Japanese army in North China!
Therefore, no matter how the Japanese dispersed, Ren Zhong's strike this time would be able to wipe out all the warplanes that the Japanese had gathered at these ten airports in North China!
You must know that this time, each airport will be "allocated" more than 5 Dongfeng Express missiles on average, and the key airports such as Nanyuan, Xijiao, Zhengding, and Jinan will receive even more care!
Soon, telegrams crisscrossed around the target airports of the Japanese army, and Ren Zhong completed the final confirmation of the intelligence.
From the confirmation, everything was normal at these airports of the Japanese army. Most of the Japanese warplanes that took off to execute orders had returned to the airport.
As Japanese warplanes without night combat capabilities, they had to return to the airport before dark.
“Authorize Plan A to be executed immediately!” The combat order issued from the headquarters instantly spread from Taiyuan to the Maowusu base via radio waves.
Maowusu Base.
After the Professor Qian team and the combat team verified the combat order, the Dongfeng Express missiles, which had been waiting in full battle, began to ignite one after another!
In the sky, it was as if one giant dragon after another was spewing flames towards its target.
These further improved Dongfeng Express I missiles were more accurate in locking on to targets, and could be controlled to about 1,000 meters.
After carefully calculating the coverage quantity, in theory, the target airports would all be covered by cluster bombs.
“Wow, shooting stars, beautiful shooting stars!” In the land of Shanxi, someone saw the Dongfeng Express streaking across the sky and was pleasantly surprised. They closed their eyes and began to make a wish before the rocket disappeared!
“Rainbow, it's a fire-breathing rainbow!” In another place, a child saw the rocket streaking across the sky like a rainbow in the afterglow of the setting sun! The surprised child jumped up and down, chasing the beautiful scenery until the rocket disappeared into the horizon.
This launch was earth-shattering. In Shanxi, many people saw this beautiful scenery, but no one could associate it with a terrible weapon of mass destruction.
Plan A is fully launched!
