At that moment, Zhang Chi sent a telegram to Halsey, and the content of the telegram was very simple, that is, he asked the US military to quickly reinforce 100 C47s. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"God!" Halsey called back, "That's 100 C47s, and they're going to be there tonight, how can I do that?" And your offense is also going well, why so many c47s?! ”

It is normal for Halsey to say this, and he can see from the information sent back by Zhang Chi that the Chinese army is advancing at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers a day, although it is now stuck in Changchun for a day or two, but this is also very normal, how can there be any battle that has a smooth journey?!

"General!" Zhang Chi called back: "This matter is not trivial, and it can even be said that it is related to the life and death of our army and even the success or failure of the entire plan...... Because, we have just received information that the Japanese have bacteriological troops and poison gas units in the cities of Harbin and Qiqihar respectively......"

"Bacteriological troops and poison gas troops? Are you sure?! ”

"Yes! Dead certain! ”

So Halsey was silent, having experienced World War I, of course, he knew the power of the bacteriological troops and the poison gas troops, and he did not expect that Japan would openly use such weapons that violated the Geneva Conventions on the battlefield...... But what can't the Japanese do?

Then, Halsey asked a few staff officers to calculate as quickly as possible, and then called Zhang Chi back.

"Tonight, we can only provide you with 89 C47s, and this includes the C47s that will transport supplies for you, which means that there may be some problems with your supplies!"

"Forget about the supply problem!" Zhang Chi replied: "Send them over immediately, I need them to rush to Siping before dawn!" ”

"No problem!"

Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi immediately launched a series of deployments.

The first step was to hand over the equipment and combat missions to the 50 Division, which had already arrived in Changchun.

The 50th Division also fought all the way from the Burma and Pacific theaters, and compared with the new 1st Division, what the 50th Division lacked was the coordinated combat capability of the navy, land, and air forces, but the combat effectiveness of the ground siege was no less than that of the new 1st Division.

As a result, the new 1st Division all returned by train, the 1st Regiment returned to Kaiyuan, and the 2nd and 3rd Regiments returned to Siping.

It would be good to have an engineer regiment with all American machinery, and the troops only stayed in Changchun for two days, and the railroad tracks were laid to Changchun close behind, which could not only quickly transport supplies forward, but also carry out a large and rapid movement of troops.

For example, now, the tens of thousands of people in the new first division are only three trains pulled back...... Wartime troop transport is different from peacetime passenger transport, the carriage is full of people, and even the top of the carriage is full of people, but the temperature at this time has reached minus 5 degrees, and the soldiers blowing the wind outside the carriage will inevitably have some frostbite.

In this regard, several regiment commanders of fellow villagers still did not agree, and when they received the order to withdraw Siping, they asked Zhang Chi through walkie-talkies one by one:

"Master! How did you retreat if you fought well? Give us another day, and we'll be sure to take this dog day! ”

"Master! I don't agree with the retreat! ”

……

Zhang Chi didn't talk nonsense with them at this time, and just pressed them all back with a sentence of "obey the order".

As a result, when the troops rushed back to Siping and Zhang Chi convened a meeting of several regiment commanders, they all had depressed faces and bitter faces.

"Yo ho ......," Staff Officer Liang quipped, "Is it too much snow or what?" All of them are wilted?! ”

"Staff Officer, Division!" Wu Yuhang was a little unconvinced and said: "Even if you hang yourself, you have to let people take a breath, don't you?" We only played for a day and a half before and after playing Changchun, and we also needed a little time to get used to it...... But when we got used to it, we withdrew! ”

"Yes, Master!" The fellow villagers also said: "We are holding back enough energy to give the little devil a good look!" ”

"How?" Zhang Chi smiled and asked, "This makes you unhappy to come back?" ”

"Of course not!" Lin Zuowang replied: "Along the way, the soldiers are also clamoring to go back...... I don't even know how to answer! ”

"I asked you to come back because there is a new mission!" Zhang Chi said.

"New mission?" Several regiment commanders looked at Zhang Chi puzzled, they didn't understand, what new tasks would there be if they were back in Siping, and if they wanted to fight, they would fight in front!

At this time, a batch of C47s landed on the airport, Zhang Chi raised his head into the darkness outside, and said, "I heard the sound of planes outside......

"Airplanes?"

"It's like a C47 voice!" Fellow villagers say that after mixing in American equipment for a long time, they naturally have some understanding of various aircraft.

"Could it be ......" Lin Zuowang said suspiciously: "Is it an airborne operation?" ”

Zhang Chi nodded, and the command headquarters suddenly became jubilant.

"Great!" Wu Yuhang clenched his fists: "We have practiced airborne tactics for so long, and now it has finally come in handy!" ”

Zhang Chi asked with a smile: "You haven't forgotten the parachute!" ”

"How can it!" The fellow villager replied: "I've been practicing for a few months, and isn't parachuting just jumping down and pulling the rope?" ”

"Don't take it lightly!" Staff Officer Liang explained: "This is the first time we have carried out parachute landing in the snow, we must pay attention to safety!" ”

"Don't worry, Staff Officer!" Lin Zuowang replied: "The snow is soft, and it doesn't hurt to roll on it at all!" ”

"Master!" The townsman asked: "Let's talk about the task, where to fight?" ”

The other two regiment commanders also looked at Zhang Chi for a moment.

"Here's the thing!" Zhang Chi pointed to the map and said: "First of all, the Japanese troops scattered in the countryside have already assembled along the railway line north of Changchun, if they are not attacked, these Japanese troops will soon use the railway to quickly assemble together to form a large force!" So we decided to carry out an airborne operation on the main communication north of Changchun! ”

This is only a side strategic objective...... Prior to this, the fighters and bombers of the expeditionary force had already attacked and bombed railways and highways in all directions, and in addition to the heavy snow north of Changchun, the Japanese army was slow to build.

"The traffic of Zhuniu must be Harbin!" Zhang Chi pointed to Harbin and said: "This is the connection point between the Middle East Line and the Changchun Railway, and controlling Harbin will cut off the connection between the three sections of the railway!" ”

(Note: The full name of the Middle East Line is China Eastern Railway, which runs from Manchuria to Xunhe.) Changchun Railway refers to the railway from Harbin to Dalian Lushun via Changchun. The Middle East Line and the Changchun Line are collectively known as the "Zhongchang Railway")

"Harbin is in charge of the second regiment!"

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang stepped forward.
