Chapter 697: Widening the Corridor
Chen Feng picked up the wine glass, looked around and said:
"After the New Year, the weather will be warmer. Each regiment must quickly rally the morale of the troops, and plans must be issued at any time. Everyone must be prepared for tough battles. Come on, let's do it."
The men drank it all in one gulp, while the women, except Song Zihan, only took a sip. There was a table full of delicious food prepared by the captain himself, so they couldn't get drunk.
The atmosphere was very warm. This might be my last year in the country, so I felt relaxed.
"Captain, how is my dad over there?"
Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Liang and saw that everyone was looking at him with concern.
"Everything is fine, don't worry. Old Master Zhang can't sit idle and doesn't want to farm, so he started a business again. This time it's cloth and ready-made clothes. Old Wu, your family is doing well over there too. Your younger brothers and sisters have joined the Holy Spear City garrison. Your uncle and aunt grow two acres of rice and one acre of vegetables, and they are living a very comfortable life. Old Huang, Dapeng, your family is doing well over there too."
Daya also missed her father very much. Upon hearing this, she looked at the captain expectantly. She really wanted to know about her father's situation.
"Daya, Uncle Liang is also very nice. He opened a shop over there and started a seafood business. He sells valuable goods such as lobsters and groupers. He cooperates with the locals. One purchases the goods and the other sells them. Most of the people who eat there are our people. The locals have had enough of it."
Daya was very excited. It was rare that the captain knew so much about her father's situation. She raised her glass to Chen Feng and took a sip.
They drank until midnight. After Liu Caiyun and the other three had eaten their fill at halftime, they went outside to make dumplings. I don't know what they talked about, but they kept giggling.
"Captain, you can't drink anymore. We have to return to the team tomorrow morning."
"Old Huang, you don't have to walk, just get in the car and sleep. There are still two bottle bottoms left, spread them evenly, spread them evenly."
After drinking the last glass of wine, the dumplings were ready. Everyone insisted on eating a bowl. Several group leaders staggered away, and Guo Dapeng arranged their accommodation.
Chen Feng was also drunk and took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang.
"You guys make arrangements for Daya! If it doesn't work, just squeeze on Sister Caiyun's kang. Three people can sleep there, so there will definitely be no problem with four."
"Don't worry about it, just sleep! You can't force yourself to drink, or you'll suffer tonight."
Liu Caiyun took Song Zihan and Daya to the next room. Li Yunyan used the excuse that it was too crowded with four people and stayed in the main room to sleep. After closing the door, she heard some chattering from next door. Li Yunyan blushed and went back into the kitchen. The captain had drunk too much and she was worried.
The captain was snoring loudly after getting drunk. Li Yunyan was sitting by the stove, listening to the crackling firecrackers outside, feeling very warm.
"Yunyan, why are you here?"
At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Feng woke up and was surprised to see Li Yunyan sleeping with her legs hugged.
"Captain, you're awake. You must be thirsty! I'll pour you some water."
The cold water was ready and he could drink it after mixing it. Chen Feng gulped down three big bowls of it, then got off the kang and rushed into the yard.
Li Yunyan was a little confused. She should go back! But why was she so reluctant to leave?
Chen Feng came back trembling.
"What are you daydreaming about? Get on the kang, silly girl. You must be frozen."
Li Yunyan's face flushed as she got into bed. Why did she feel like she was going to get on the bed? I was just worried about the captain. I just liked the atmosphere of two people on New Year's Eve.
"Take off your coat! The wind is blowing against you while you hold up the quilt."
Li Yunyan first turned on the light, quickly took off her clothes, and gently got into the quilt. Chen Feng pulled her to his side and hugged her with his arms around her.
"Go to bed quickly! You have to get up early soon."
Li Yunyan was sleepy after all, and fell into a peaceful sleep. However, Chen Feng couldn't sleep, and tried hard to count sheep to calm his abnormal mood.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yimeng guerrillas began to mobilize on a large scale. First, Zhang Liang assembled a reinforced regiment and marched southward, entering the Dabie Mountain area along the passage opened up by the Guard Regiment and the First Regiment. The Independent Regiment, the First Regiment, and the Second Regiment drew out half of the remaining troops to form a new Second Regiment led by Wu Tianxiang, which marched southward into Xiayi County, preparing to move westward along the Longhai Line to capture Shangqiu and then threaten Kaifeng and Zhengzhou.
The New Second Regiment and Zhang Liang's expeditionary group hid during the day and marched at night, and the Japanese army was completely unaware of it.
On the afternoon of March 3, 5 planes took off in stages from Mengshan Airport and Jinan Zhangzhuang Airport. Their targets were the garrisons in the three cities of Shangqiu, Bozhou and Fuyang.
In order to counter the expansion of the Guard Regiment and the 1st Regiment, 5,000 Japanese troops were stationed in each of the three cities. Without any heavy firepower for siege, they had to make full use of the forces at hand, with special warfare and bombing as the forerunners.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, three echelons of planes arrived at the city to attack almost simultaneously. Their target was not the city defense, but the Japanese military camps and heavy artillery positions.
The Japanese army was totally unprepared and even thought at one point that it was the air force protecting them. When the planes entered the airspace of various cities, the special forces who had infiltrated used walkie-talkies to guide them. The planes began to dive, and the Japanese army realized that something was wrong.
boom! Boom boom boom!
There were forty planes in each city, and twenty bombers dropped all their bombs on Japanese barracks and artillery positions. After the bombing, fighter planes began to clean up the battlefield, and the bombs plowed the ground like raindrops.
When the bombing began, the special forces quickly attacked and controlled the city gates. They blew up the Japanese fortifications where there were no city gates. The three regiments that had moved to the outskirts of the city immediately launched an attack.
The speed was too fast. The fighter planes had just cleared the battlefield, and before the Japanese had a chance to catch their breath, their defense system had already been breached.
It was less than an hour before dark and it was too late to call for air support. The commanders of the garrisons in each city could only gather their forces to hold their ground. This was too naive. A regiment of 5,000 troops, facing the remnants of the Japanese army, with rocket launchers leading the way, 47 AK-47 submachine guns following up, and mortars clearing fortifications and machine gun positions, were completely unable to stop the pace of the attack sequence.
When it got dark, the remnants of the Japanese army were driven together. There was no shortage of miners or laborers, and the captain's order was that no prisoners were needed in the early stages.
The mortars were concentrated, and mortars of various calibers first fired a round of twenty rounds at high speed, then rocket launchers quickly followed up, and two types of heavy machine guns were also set up. The Japanese army raised the white flag, fearing that the killer on the opposite side could not see it, so they deliberately illuminated it with torches and flashlights, but the opposite side still did not see it, or chose to turn a blind eye.
There were fierce gunshots from all directions. The remaining Japanese soldiers had no chance to fight to the death. The gunshots gradually became sparse. The special forces began to clean up the outer battlefield. There were always some Japanese soldiers who relied on their cleverness and did not enter the last defense circle. They could not be allowed to harm the people, nor could they be allowed to escape.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the people suddenly found that the defenders had been replaced. It was too fast! The bombing did not start until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon. In three hours, all the Japanese were dead?
