As the commander of the First Army, although Yoshio Suzuka's command ability is much worse than Okamura Ninji, he is also a senior general of the Japanese army who has led troops for a long time, so he still has command ability.

The sudden retreat of the group from Datong made Yoshio Suzuka worried.

He was sure that there must be something strange in this.

It's just that for a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

"Immediately send planes to reconnoitre, and we must find out where the other party's troops have gone."

Takeshi Sakurada, chief of staff of the Japanese army, reminded Yoshio Suzuka: "Your Excellency, the air power of the other side is stronger than ours.

If we send planes to reconnoitre, it is likely that they will be shot down by the other side. ”

Yoshiko Sakatano, commander of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, said that there were almost 100 planes in Datong alone.

And this is not the full air power of the opposing side.

According to Okamura Ninji's previous information, the other party's planes are about 200.

That is, the other side still has a hundred planes, and it is not known where.

If they rashly send planes to reconnoitre, they will definitely be shot down by the other side's planes.

Even if they did not encounter each other's aircraft, their air defense capabilities were amazing.

In Zuoyun, they suffered a big loss from the opponent's air defense forces, losing ten planes at once.

If the plane is sent again this time, it is very likely that it will be shot down again.

Yoshio Suzuka said helplessly: "Of course I know, but the plane must be dispatched."

Not only to send, but also to send a few more.

We have to find out where the opposing forces are moving.

Otherwise, how can we annihilate this force.

For this goal, it is worth losing a few aircraft. ”

In Yoshio Suzuka's opinion, as long as this mysterious force can be annihilated, let alone a few planes, it will be worth losing three or four divisions.

This mysterious force dealt a very big blow to the morale of the soldiers of their empire.

If it can be annihilated, it will be very significant.

And this is very important to enhance his reputation as Yoshio Suzuka.

Even, he can succeed Seishiro Itagaki in the next step and become the commander of the North China Dispatch Army.

It was a big step in his military career.

The Japanese planes took off from Taiyuan with a buzz.

According to Yoshio Suzuka's order, there were a total of ten Japanese planes participating in the reconnaissance mission.

In order to find a temporary group, Yoshio Suzuka is also in the next book.

Ten Japanese planes flew together from Taiyuan and immediately flew in the direction of Datong.

From Taiyuan to Datong, the Japanese planes only took about two hours.

Several battalions of the Provisional First Regiment were rapidly advancing to the predetermined location at this time.

Because the entire temporary regiment was very mechanized, the speed of the advance was very fast.

By the time the Japanese planes flew over Datong, the troops of the first regiment had already disappeared.

The unwilling Japanese planes began to reconnoiter other places again.

Finally, in the area of Cailiang Mountain, the troops of the temporary first regiment were found.

The Japanese planes were completely stunned when they saw the ground troops of the first regiment for the time being.

Torrent of steel!

The ground is densely packed with tanks.

Row after row.

There are also a large number of troops.

Boundless, you can't see the head at all.

This......

The Japanese pilot's hands trembled twice, and the plane almost lost control.

They were about to turn around and return to Taiyuan when they found that there were twenty more planes around their plane.

Well?

Those Japanese pilots were stunned, what was going on?

The leader of the Japanese flight team who took the lead only felt that the top of his head was dark, and then he reflexively looked up, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

The combat power of the other party!!

That devil squad leader is well-trained in the end, and he has to dodge the fighter plane as soon as he hurries.

He could see it clearly.

The combat effectiveness of the opponent's pilot is a little more advanced than the flight model he pilots.

That's the most famous Zero fighter in their island nation!

Moreover, the opponent's planes actually have a large area, which is obviously a lot more than his flying squad planes.

But as soon as his plane turned sideways, there were several holes in the wings of the plane.

Sudden protrusions.

A plane above his head opened fire with a single dive.

Two rows of bullets came in gray smoke.

It hit the wings of his plane right now.

The wings of the Japanese plane that were hit immediately broke off.

The whole plane smoked, and it began to fall to the ground with a roar.

The leader of the Japanese flight squad sat in the cockpit in horror and shouted, and his eyes were too wide open, and the corners of his eyes were bleeding.

The ground is getting closer.

Mom, I want to go home!!

I don't play anymore!!!

Boom!!!!

After the plane hit the ground, there was a violent explosion, and then the Japanese plane began to burn violently.

At the beginning, the Japanese squad leader's plane was shot down, which made the remaining Japanese aircraft pilots break out in a cold sweat.

it!

The captain was killed by the other party!

As soon as the other Japanese pilots saw that they could not be defeated, they immediately prepared to flee.

However, the flying brigade of the temporary regiment is not a vegetarian.

Twenty planes flew victoriously towards the Japanese planes.

The fighter piloted by the Japanese army, because it is not a Zero, has a poor performance.

And Wang Han's flight brigade sent out the most advanced Zero fighters this time.

Coupled with the numerical superiority, the remaining nine aircraft of the Japanese army were not opponents at all.

In just over ten minutes, the remaining nine Japanese fighters were shot down.

Some of the Japanese planes were directly hit and exploded in the air, and some were hit and fell to the ground miserably.

Yoshio Suzuka walked around the war room, always feeling unsure.

Judging by the time, the plane he sent out should almost come back.

But so far, there is no news at all.

Takeshi Sakurada, chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army, said worriedly: "Your Excellency Commander, I think our plane may have been shot down by the other side. ”

Yoshio Suzuka actually has such a judgment in his heart, but there is still a trace of luck in his heart.

That's ten planes, and you need to fly back one, right?

But there wasn't one.

Yoshio Suzuka said, "Our plane, where is the destination? ”

Takeshi Sakurada, chief of staff of the Japanese army, pointed to the map and said, "The destination is the Datong area." ”

"In that case, if our plane is shot down, it should be in this area.

Yo West!

Although we lost 10 planes, it at least proved that the other side's troops were still around Datong and did not retreat.

Sakurada-kun, what do you think is the purpose of the other party's troops, who suddenly gave up fighting Datong, but chose to hide on the periphery of Datong? ”

Takeshi Sakurada, the chief of staff of the Japanese army, frowned and stared at the map for a long time.

Finally, his gaze stopped at the position of the Suzuki brigade.

"Your Excellency, I think that the other party's troops must have discovered the Suzuki Brigade. The reason why they stopped attacking Datong was because their target was the Suzuki Brigade.

The opposing troops, most likely, want to destroy the Suzuki brigade in the field. ”

Yoshio Suzuka thought about Takeshi Sakurada's analysis for a moment.

I think it makes sense.

However, is their target really the Suzuki Brigade?

Could it be, the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division from Zhangjiakou.

You must know that the combat effectiveness of this unit is very amazing.

But he quickly dismissed this judgment.

It's simply impossible.

North China sent troops here, and it was impossible for the other side to know.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't know so quickly.

How long has it been?

No matter how much the secret is leaked, it is impossible to leak it so quickly.

Not to mention the other side's troops, it was his first army, except for the people in the war room, and several division commanders and brigade commanders, no one else knew at all.

As for the other party, it is even more impossible to know.

In this way, it is really possible that the opposing troops will target his Suzuki brigade.

"Order, the Suzuki brigade to speed up and rush to Datong as fast as possible! After entering the periphery of Datong, immediately set up a defensive line and be sure to block the opponent's attack. ”

On the periphery of Datong, the positions are ready-made.

Although it was bombed and shelled by the other side, it could be used immediately if it was slightly built.

And with the back of Datong, if the low grade can't be stopped, it will be withdrawn to the city.

Stand by for help.

The Honma Brigade will soon be able to come to the aid of Daido.

When the time comes, the forces of the two brigades will converge, and Datong will be much safer.

And the opposing troops, if they want to bite his two brigades, it will be difficult.

At present, the entire Shanxi, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese army, is moving troops on a large scale.

A big war is about to begin.

A day later, the rest of the Eighth Route Army had already arrived at Shenchi and Yanmen Pass.

The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment had already exchanged fire with the Devil's brigade in Fengzhen, and two hours later, under the strong firepower of the 1st Battalion, the Japanese brigade was completely annihilated.

The 1st Battalion immediately set up an ambush at Toyojin, preparing to annihilate the Japanese Honma Brigade.

The second, third, seventh, and eighth battalions had already rushed to the Yanggao area to ambush.

The 23rd Division of the Japanese First Army, after going north, soon encountered the troops of the Eighth Route Army that were already guarding Shenchi.

This surprised Yoshio Suzuka. When did the troops of the Eighth Route Army arrive at Shenchi?

His intelligence agency, not a word at all.

In order to ensure that the four divisions surrounded each other's mysterious troops, Yoshio Suzuka ordered the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army at all costs and rush to the Pinglu area as soon as possible.

In Yoshio Suzuka's view, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is the mysterious force.

Those who intercepted the 23rd Division in Shenchi should have been the local troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Not a regular army at all.

So Yoshio Suzuka didn't care at all.

His eyes were still fixed on Datong.

Among the 30,000 troops in Shenchi, the main forces were Ding Wei's new 1st regiment and Kong Jie's new 2nd regiment.

These two regiments, when the first regiment was not in Shanxi, had always been the absolute main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Not only are the troops the most numerous, but they are also the best equipped.

Ding Wei's new regiment, after annihilating Zuo Yun's Japanese army, was urgently transferred to Shenchi.

And Kong Jie's new second regiment set off directly from the station and rushed to Shenchi.
