Devil's Army

Leng Feng didn't expect He Shiqi to ask this, and he felt embarrassed.

Seeing Leng Feng's embarrassment, Yuan Wanting immediately came to his rescue and asked:

"Damn girl, you want to get married, right?"

When He Shiqi saw that Yuan Wanting had seen through her little thoughts, her face suddenly turned red.

"Didn't Deputy Commander Tan say when he would marry you?"

When He Shiqi heard Leng Feng ask this, she replied a little aggrievedly:

"My parents have asked us several times, but Hanbo always says that the Japanese haven't been driven away yet and he won't get married."

"What does this have to do with whether the Japanese were driven away or not? If two people are in love, they can get married!"

He Shiqi rolled her eyes at Leng Feng and said:

"You're the one who set the precedent. Hanbo said you hold a higher official position and are older than me. You haven't even gotten married yet, so how can we get ahead of you?"

"What's my business if you two get married? The devils won't stay long. We'll drive them all out of China next year."

Before He Shiqi could be happy, a signalman ran over and handed Leng Feng a telegram.

Leng Feng quickly made an excuse to leave the doctor's office.

It was Deputy Captain Xu from Shangdu Airport who called to ask: The Japanese reconnaissance plane has penetrated deep into the belly of Siwangzi Banner for reconnaissance, and whether to shoot it down.

If the First Army Air Force reacted quickly and shot down the Japanese reconnaissance plane, the Japanese might have noticed that they had deployed air forces nearby, and Shangdu Airport would have been exposed.

Leng Feng then ordered: "Play the long game to catch the big fish. Important areas must be well concealed."

The frequent reconnaissance flights by the Japanese military were definitely not due to a lack of fuel. They were most likely preparations for war.

Now the threat of the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force can be said to have been lifted, and Leng Feng decided to resolve the threat of the Japanese Air Force stationed in Mongolia.

But Shangdu Airport is too small to accommodate more planes.

Leng Feng ordered the Jinzhou and Xinjing air forces to be on high alert and ready to support the Shangdu air force at any time. He also asked Brigadier General Du to quietly expand the Shangdu Airport.

When expropriating land to expand Shangdu Airport, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he expropriated the land on the grounds of stationing troops and building a military camp.

When the people living around the former Shangdu Airport heard that the First Anti-Japanese Army was building a barracks to garrison troops to fight the Japanese, they all agreed to the land expropriation.

A regimental commander worked 24 hours a day, dividing his soldiers into shifts to expedite the expansion of Shangdu Airport. He also camouflaged the site so that from the air, Japanese reconnaissance planes would look like a military camp under construction.

A layer of green cloth was added to the planes at Shangdu Airport.

From the air it looks like a grassland.

After the Japanese reconnaissance planes had scouted the garrison situation of the First Army and the Eighth Route Army in Siwangzi Banner, they indeed went deep into Shangdu County at around nine o'clock the next morning to scour the situation of their original Shangdu Airport.

However, because Deputy Captain Xu and the commander of the first regiment were well prepared, the Japanese reconnaissance plane did not find anything unusual.

After the Japanese reconnaissance plane left, Deputy Captain Xu rushed back to Xinjing Airport.

The heavy responsibility of commanding Shangdu Airport fell on Shi Lingjun, the former squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron of the Jinzhou Aviation Corps.

At around ten o'clock in the morning on the second day after the Japanese reconnaissance plane returned to Baotou Airport, the tank regiment that rushed from the tribe to provide support arrived in Xinghe County.

According to the intelligence sent by the Eighth Route Army intelligence officers and the confessions of captured Japanese scouts, the Japanese Army's 250rd Tank Division in Mongolia, which was to be formed, had nearly tanks.

The tank regiment of the First Army stationed in Xinghe County consisted of three battalions and 108 tanks.

Adding the remaining 26 tanks from the tank battalion stationed at Siwangzi Banner earlier, the First Army's tank corps had only 134 tanks, a little over half of the Japanese Third Tank Division. A battle between the two sides would undoubtedly be a disadvantage.
