Devil's Army

Commander Zhang Shaojie suggested to Leng Feng that a Southern Naval School of the First Army be established on the coast of Guangdong or on Hainan Island to train their own naval officers and soldiers.

Leng Feng wanted to protect the weak navy, so the navy of Huludao rarely participated in major naval battles, and its current development has not changed much.

At present, the Hainan Island Navy has twice as many warships as the Huludao Navy, and its development momentum has surpassed that of the Huludao Navy.

Leng Feng agreed to the suggestion of Zhang Shaojie, the commander of the army, and asked him to find a suitable location to set up a school. He transferred teachers from the Huludao Naval School to serve there.

When Commander Zhang saw Commander Leng's reply, he immediately discussed with Captain Chen of the Hainan Island Fleet a suitable place to build the First Army's Southern Naval School.

At first, Captain Chen planned to build a naval school in Sanya, where they have their largest warship dock repair plant and their Hainan Island fleet.

Commander Zhang thought about it and rejected the proposal.

He believes that although Sanya has the advantage of being close to the water, it has a smaller population and it is difficult to recruit enough suitable students.

Finally, Commander Zhang and Captain Chen decided to locate the naval school in Xuwen Port, which is across the sea from Haikou City on Hainan Island, and reported it to Commander Leng for approval.

The next day, Leng Feng approved Zhang Shaojie's application.

Commander Zhang Shaojie immediately asked Captain Chen of the Hainan Island Fleet to prepare to build the First Army Southern Naval School.

Just as Commander Zhang was preparing to build the First Army's Southern Naval School, Deputy Commander Du also began planning to go north to fight against the Japanese.

Deputy Commander Du attempted to pass through Shaoguan and head north to Hunan and Jiangxi to fight against the Japanese.

After he negotiated with the commander of the Seventh War Zone of the Nanjing government army stationed in Shaoguan at the time, the other party politely declined.

Because the Third Changsha Campaign ended with the victory of the Nanjing government. The Japanese army failed to cross Changsha and continue to attack southwards. There were no Japanese troops in Jiangxi area northeast of Shaoguan.

Shaoguan is currently safe. The Nanjing government forces are worried that the First Anti-Japanese Army will pass through Shaoguan and take the opportunity to stay in Shaoguan and seize Shaoguan territory.

Deputy Commander Du certainly knew the Nanjing government army's little calculations, but at present the Japanese army had not yet approached Shaoguan, and he could also take this opportunity to strengthen and expand the combat effectiveness and strength of the Southern Front Army.

Who knew that the Japanese army did not attack Shaoguan, Hunan, and the surrounding areas of Jiangxi, but the air force was in trouble.

On this day, the southern Jiangxi region adjacent to Shaoguan was subjected to repeated bombing by aircraft from the 11th Division of the Japanese 34th Army.

The main streets in the city, such as Yangming Road, Zhongshan Road, and Huaxing Street, were reduced to rubble.

This bombing killed more than 200 of our compatriots, injured more than 300, and destroyed 678 houses.

Commander Zhang was very angry when he heard this from Secretary Yu.

The war was a confrontation between the armies of two countries, and the Japanese army often used unarmed civilians as bargaining chips to force the Chinese military and civilians to surrender.

Commander Zhang asked Secretary Yu to use his channels to investigate which airport the Japanese planes that bombed southern Jiangxi took off from.

Secretary Yu certainly knew what Commander Zhang wanted to do, and immediately asked the underground personnel in southern Jiangxi to investigate.

The next day, the underground intelligence agents in southern Jiangxi reported that the Japanese planes that bombed southern Jiangxi took off from Jiujiang Airport. According to the local people, there were more than 20 Japanese planes that attacked them.

Commander Zhang immediately gave an order to Captain Du: Find an opportunity to carry out an airstrike on the Japanese Jiujiang Airport to avenge the Chinese compatriots who died unjustly!

Captain Du immediately flew to Sanzao Island Airport to discuss tomorrow's combat plan with Captain Yang of the Third Aviation Squadron and several squadron leaders.
