In late December, after several fierce battles, Harbin was recovered, and after the devils stationed in Harbin were annihilated by 30,000 or 40,000, the remnants of the devils broke through and marched to the Sino-Russian border to meet the devils on the Sino-Russian border. ////

However, according to the number of devils who broke through, there were 20,000 or 30,000 devils, but after the devils broke through, they could only march on two legs in the cold northeast, and as a result, many of them froze to death on the way to the march.

At this point, the Northeast has basically recovered, and there are only tens of thousands of devils on the Sino-Russian border, who have been confronting the Soviet Russian army for many years, and Zhang Yunfei has no intention of annihilating these devils for the time being.

On the Soviet side, due to the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad, Soviet Russia has been defeated and retreated, and now, taking advantage of the severe cold, Soviet Russia has stabilized its position a little, and the Soviet Russian army is absolutely unable to advance eastward, so tens of thousands of devils can still confront the Soviet Russian army on the Sino-Russian border.

Zhang Yunfei saw that there were devils on the Sino-Russian border to contain the Soviet Russian army, and Zhang Yunfei did not kill all these devils, Zhang Yunfei was ready to wait for the future to clean up.

At this stage, with the basic recovery of Northeast China, Zhang Yunfei gradually transferred several columns back to North China, leaving one column to be stationed in Shenyang and Changchun, and giving Harbin to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to garrison, and some other county towns and towns to be garrisoned and managed by the Northeast Local Jing Reserve Brigade.

In the next stage, Zhang Yunfei is ready to take action against the devils in Wuhan.

At present, the General Staff Headquarters of the 36 th Group Army has drawn up a detailed battle plan for the devils in Wuhan, and the Central China Front of the devils has deployed more than 100,000 troops in and around Wuhan, and they do not have an advantage in terms of numbers.

The 3rd Column of the 36th Group Army, plus Zhang Zizhong's troops, totaled more than 100,000 troops, and in addition, there were quite a few miscellaneous local troops on the outskirts of Wuhan, and even a number of guerrilla units of the New Fourth Army were active.

Although the devil's Central China Front Army has more than 500,000 troops, it is now being pinned down by a large number of troops, coupled with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the devil's Central China Front Army is gradually feeling insufficient in terms of troops.

At this time, the time is fully ripe to attack Wuhan and eliminate the devils in Wuhan.

At present, a large amount of supplies are being transported to Jingzhou in large quantities by air, and at Jingzhou Airport and Yichang Airport, Zhang Yunfei has increased the number of Mustang fighters.

With the recovery of the Northeast, some Mustang fighters in the Northeast have been transferred to these two airports, and now, the number of Mustang fighters deployed at Jingzhou Airport and Yichang Airport has reached six Mustang fighter squadrons.

Today, at Jingzhou Airport, a group of high-ranking members of the 3rd Column, under the leadership of Chen Erwa, the commander of the column, are greeting Zhang Yunfei and his party at the airport.

As the attack on the Wuhan devils approached, Zhang Yunfei took the opportunity to come over and commanded in Jingzhou, commanding everyone to recover Wuhan and eliminate the devils in Wuhan.

"Commander, Commander-in-Chief, come here!"

In the early air, a large transport plane, escorted by several Mustang fighters, was heading for Jingzhou Airport.

Several planes landed at the airport, and as soon as the plane stopped, Chen Erwa led everyone to meet Zhang Yunfei quickly.

Zhang Yunfei stepped out of the plane first, and behind Zhang Yunfei, he was accompanied by Liu Xing, the captain of the special combat team, and more than a dozen special combat team members.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei stepped off the plane, Chen Erwa said loudly: "Hello commander-in-chief!! ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said in a loud voice: "Comrades have worked hard!" ”

Several high-level officials of the 3rd Column stepped forward one by one, shook hands with Zhang Yunfei excitedly, and Zhang Yunfei exchanged a few words with everyone, and then boarded the off-road vehicle that had been prepared earlier and went to the headquarters of the 3rd Column.

At present, the 3rd Column has recovered Jingzhou and several cities around it, such as Jingmen, which has also been recovered by the 3rd Column, and the base area of the 3rd Column has expanded several times compared with before.

In addition, the artillery regiment of the 3rd column, the heavy artillery brigade, the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment were all fully formed, and previously, the 2nd column withdrew from Jingzhou to Datong, leaving all these heavy equipment to the 3rd column.

…… After listening to the report of Chen Erwa, the commander of the 3rd Column, Zhang Yunfei looked at the map near Jingzhou again, and slightly praised and encouraged several high-ranking members of the 3rd Column, and then Zhang Yunfei officially issued a combat order to the 3rd Column.

Starting from Ming Yao, the 3rd Column will start to act in accordance with the operational plan drawn up by the 36th Group Army and launch an attack on the devils, and the planes at Jingzhou Airport and Yichang Airport will launch bombing and air strikes against the devils in Wuhan and its periphery.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by Liu Xing and the special combat team members, drove to Yichang, where Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Zizhong would have a detailed discussion.

Zhang Zizhong, who got the news early, was waiting at the gate of Yichang City, seeing Zhang Yunfei's convoy coming, Zhang Zizhong was slightly excited in his heart, and thought in his heart, coming, coming.

Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Zizhong leading a large number of officers to welcome him at the door, Zhang Yunfei stopped in front of everyone, and got out of the car laughing, "Big brother!" Long time no see. ”

Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Zizhong hugged each other tightly, for a long time, the two were separated, Zhang Zizhong controlled the excitement in his heart, "Brother! It's been a long time since I've seen him, my brother's army of hundreds of thousands, sweeping away the leaves in the autumn wind, recovering North China and Northeast China in one go, I, the eldest brother, am proud and proud of you. ”

Zhang Yunfei held Zhang Zizhong's big hand tightly and said with a smile: "Big brother! This time, how about we join forces again and recover Wuhan in one go? ”

"Good!" Zhang Zizhong held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly and said happily: "This time, our brothers will cooperate again to annihilate the devils in Wuhan and its surroundings." ”

"Good!"

The two shook hands tightly, and all around, many officers were also slightly excited, everyone knew that there would be a big battle soon, and everyone had been cultivating their bodies and minds for so long, this time, they could finally launch a full-scale attack on the devil.

After a few greetings, Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Zizhong joined hands with Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army Headquarters, and in Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, the two entered the headquarters for a long time and discussed and communicated with each other on the specific details of some joint operations.

This time, the two armies will conduct a joint operation to recover Wuhan, which will be a major military operation, and many details will require face-to-face communication.

When Zhang Yunfei and Zhang Zizhong had a detailed discussion in Yichang, a large number of Mustang fighters had already taken to the air one after another at Yichang Airport and Jingzhou Airport and began to bomb and air strike the devils.

Some time ago, the Mustang fighters at Yichang Airport and Jingzhou Airport have always been very low-key and have always focused on defense, but this time, they took the initiative to attack.

The devils also deployed dozens of planes at Wuhan airport, fighters, bombers, transport planes, and various types of aircraft.

However, with the construction of a large number of pre-Jing radar stations in Jingzhou and Yichang, the 36th Group Army invaded the Jingzhou and Yichang areas, and after a few were shot down, the devils' white spoon planes basically did not appear in this area.

The planes at Jingzhou Airport and Yichang Airport have basically been mainly engaged in defense and regular training for several months, and the number of active attacks is very small.

This time, after receiving the order, everyone suddenly descended the mountain like a tiger, and a large number of planes took off and rushed towards Wuhan with great momentum.

Wuhan and its periphery, the main deployment of the devil's troops has long been detected by the 3rd column, and the 3rd column has been in Jingzhou for so long, of course, the situation of the devils is relatively clear.

This time, more than 100 Mustang fighters took off and began to launch air strikes against the devils' positions, barracks, and other targets in squadrons.

To the west of Wuhan, nearly 100 kilometers away from Wuhan, there is a town called Yujia Town, which is not big, but because the military position is very important, the devil has deployed a wing of troops in this town.

Around Yujia Town, there are several military camps for devils, and the devils are undergoing regular training, and many devils are practicing on the cāo field, and in the town, there are a lot of devils' patrols, and the devils' wing headquarters are set up in the town.

There are very few people in the town, even if some ordinary people appear, they are in a hurry, looking at the patrolling devils in horror, avoiding snakes and scorpions, most of the people, there is nothing important, they generally stay at home and rarely go out.

The ferocity of the devil, the people in the town have already seen it, the devil has only been here for a few months, but the people who have been killed by the ghost are at least hundreds.

The people in the town, many of them are ruined and destroyed, and everyone dares to be angry with the devil but does not dare to speak, so they can only swallow their anger and live under the butcher's knife of the devil in horror.

In the blue sky, there were a lot of black spots, and some of the people in the town saw it, of course, a lot of devils also saw it, especially a large number of devils who were training.

"Yaga! It seems to be an aircraft of the 36th Army!! ”

Several devil officers with binoculars saw the plane in the distance clearly, and immediately shouted in horror, and those devils who were conducting regular training on the cāo field immediately ended the training in a panic when they saw that it was an enemy attack.

The Central China Front of the devils had relatively little contact with the 36th Group Army, and even if there was a battle with the 36th Group Army, it was a long time ago, and the devils' understanding of the planes of the 36th Group Army was more hearsay.

Seeing so many planes coming, many devils hurriedly began to set up machine guns, it seems that the devils are preparing for air defense.
