In the starlight in the sky and the ground are like a long dragon stretching for thousands of miles in the "starlight".

This group of eagles who have no hesitation finally let go of their biggest concerns.

They don't have to worry about getting lost in this dark night. Whether they can fly back is secondary, the important thing is that they can get to the battlefield on time.

Zhou Dapeng now finally understands why Liu Lang asked him to reduce the flight altitude to 1,000 meters, because he wants to guide them in the most primitive but extremely effective way.

In this half month, from Yan'an to Shanxi, the Shaanxi and Shanxi branches of the China Commercial Group mobilized all their forces to follow the shortest straight flight route of the aircraft formation on the map, mainly the villagers of the local mountain villages, and every five miles, they lit a pile of firewood stacks at least three meters high on the highest mountain in the local area, and the flames that reached 10 meters high were enough to be seen by the aircraft formation at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the dark night.

More than 100 fires burned in the dark of night, forming a clear road map, indicating that the aircraft formation flew directly to Shanxi and Jindong until dawn.

The price paid by the Huashang Group for the most primitive navigation route map in the history of the Air Force is nearly 10,000 oceans, 10 oceans per village in 150 natural villages, and the important thing is to send a lot of manpower and material resources to go deep into the mountains, and on this nearly 400-kilometer route, the Huashang Group has mobilized more than 3,000 people for this.

What's more, the Chinese business group used a large number of small traders to go from village to village to operate small commodities and hire mountain people to light bonfires, a distance of five miles that the peasants did not know that others had done the same, but enough for the formation of planes in the sky to see.

Little did they know that the joy of lighting a bonfire and earning ten oceans was far less than the happiness of the pilots who rumbled high in the sky. It was with a bunch of two or hundreds of bonfires that sixteen eagles flying high in the pre-dawn night sounded the strongest note of the destruction of the 40th Infantry Brigade.

The spies of the Japanese army all over China ignored the small actions of a business giant that had already touched its business tentacles in various industries across China, but brought unimaginable harm to the Japanese army.

In the cabin, Zhou Dapeng gave a thumbs up to his wingman companion who couldn't see clearly at all, and smiled brightly.

He was pleased with his new wingman companion, who was only 200 yards away from him.

The only non-staff member of the "Volunteers" originally belonged to the Chinese Air Force, but his flying group was lost in early September, and the remaining personnel were forced to ask to be evacuated to Nanjing and Wuhan and even further afield to Xinjiang in Gansu Province to receive new aircraft donated from the Red Polar Bear to regroup.

However, this 22-year-old young man named Chen Buping was unwilling to leave the Songhu battlefield, where 30 people were killed. His only wish is to watch over his comrades-in-arms and homeland in this flesh-and-blood battlefield sprinkled with the best of China's army and air force.

Even if he dies in the next moment.

Therefore, when the weak Chinese Air Force was forced to withdraw from the battlefield and withdraw from the battle for the blue sky over Songhu, he found the Air Force Headquarters and the "Aviation Volunteers", and stayed on the Songhu battlefield with the resoluteness that he would rather be executed on the spot if he disobeyed the military order.

Because of his unfamiliarity with the new aircraft, he was not qualified to go into battle immediately, but he did not give up. Taking advantage of the intervals between battles, he trained to familiarize himself with the performance of the aircraft; Using the time to repair the fighter, he followed to learn various parameters of the aircraft; Even when it was time to fight, he braved artillery fire on the ground to observe the fighting styles and techniques that the "Aviation Volunteers" had learned from American instructors that were different from their fighting styles.

Finally, in a Japanese attack on the airfield, more than 40 fighters were gathered, and there were only 12 planes left at the airfield, and at the most urgent moment of the battle, he piloted a fighter plane that was forced to land at the airport because the pilot was seriously injured, and the fuselage was densely covered with bullet holes, and flew back to the high altitude to participate in the battle, shooting down two Japanese planes in one fell swoop.

With the tenacity and superb air combat level unique to the Chinese Air Force, he won the trust of the Chinese pilots of the "Aviation Volunteer Army". Before his fighter plane, which took over the seriously injured and killed pilot, was completely scrapped, the perimeter painted with the blue sky and white sun flag had already been painted with four red stars.

And this time, although his new plane transferred from Chengdu to Yan'an has not yet had time to show his previous record, Zhou Dapeng believes that the new companion he picked after the death of his wingman companion in battle will not disappoint him, breaking through five or even six red stars today.

The planes of the "Aviation Volunteers" were speeding along the "artificial navigation" that Liu Lang had spent so much effort to create, and at half past six in the morning, the more than 6,000 Japanese troops stationed in the town of Shiyu had already begun to bury pots and make food, and according to the military order, they must rush to the rear flank position of Niangziguan before 3 p.m., and at that time, they will cooperate with the 78th Infantry Wing and the 77th Infantry Wing to launch an attack on the 30,000 Chinese troops in Niangziguan and Jiuguan, and flank them from front to back.

Nearly 40 miles of mountain roads, and perhaps small Chinese forces, would take at least six hours.

In fact, the reason why Liu Lang was so sure that the battle would start at around 8 o'clock was also based on this. In the past time and space, the main force of the 40th Infantry Brigade passed through Qiqian Village in the early morning, but before the roundabout strategy could be realized, Niangzi Pass fell.

In this time and space, the Japanese army, which also used this strategy, will not give Niangzi Pass too long a breathing time, and will definitely launch an attack on the main defense line of Niangzi Pass before the main force of the 26th Army deployed on the southeast front of Shanxi is transferred to Niangzi Pass. The Japanese troops who arrived at Shiyu Town at 8 o'clock last night will definitely choose to attack Niangzi Pass through Qiqian Village in the early morning.

You know, in order to slow down the Japanese army's march, the 386 Brigade and the 772nd Regiment sent three infantry companies to launch a non-stop attack on the Japanese army along the way.

The 20th Division was the first time to make contact with the 18th Group Army, but it was not the first time that the Japanese army in North China had been dealing with the Itagaki Division and the 18th Group Army that assisted the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army in defending northern Jin for more than a month. The battle of Heixingguan made Itagaki Seishiro's old face red, but Itagaki Seishiro's evaluation of "Dirt Eight Road" was not very high.

"Although the soldiers are not afraid of death, their equipment is inferior" is the most common comment made by the top brass of the North China Dispatch Army when mentioning the corners of the 18th Group Army.

Of course, they don't know that it is precisely this army in their eyes that is poorly equipped and carrying old-fashioned Hanyang-made rifles, and in future wars, it will become stronger and stronger, and the more people will fight, and it will become the biggest trouble for the Japanese North China Front. It was a miracle in the history of warfare that the forces fighting in their territories were outnumbered by them.

It was not until a few years later that the Japanese army, obsessed with the theory of equipment, understood that it would never be the weapons but the people themselves that would determine the direction of the war.

Just like the 18th Group Army and the local armed forces described by Tanaka, a senior soldier of the former Japanese army's Xipu Tuan stronghold in North China, which was exposed seventy years later:

"There are thick clouds overhead, vines and weeds under your feet, and everything in the North Branch is so desolate and gloomy! However, even in the desolate and gloomy situation, we are not allowed to browse casually.

None of us dared to act casually, and a squad leader who had just arrived the day before yesterday, Captain Mu, who was not convinced by the brutality of the Shina people, dared to patrol alone, but was horribly killed by the Shina people outside the village, and his body was hung from a big tree outside the stronghold. A few days ago, a Chinese friend from the maintenance group went to the street to buy something, but he was also tied up alive by the Zhina, and by the time we found him, there was only a headless corpse left.

Their fierce Shina people surrounded us from time to time. They were either regular troops of the Eighteenth Army or ordinary armed militiamen, and the most humiliating thing was that they dared to crouch down in the ditch and shout at us. Instead, we didn't dare to go out ....... It has been four years since we conquered China, but what we have conquered is only a bunker the size of one zhang, and not a single inch of land is stable. I can't write it down, the guerrilla groups outside are making trouble with us again! ”

。。。。。。

Yes, not only did the Japanese army not understand, but also the American cowboys, the most powerful "armed police" in the world, in the future, so they were beaten by the poorly equipped red soldiers of the Republic in the cold land north of the border of the Republic, and then broke their big teeth in the jungle of the southwest.

Like his immediate boss, Fumizaburo Kawagishi, Yoshio last month was annoyed by the harassment of the "Dirt Eight Road" that had been constantly haunting the mountain beam a day earlier, but he didn't really pay attention to it. Intelligence shows that the Chinese Eighteenth Army sent only 10,000 people to Jindong, one brigade is active in an area more than 100 miles away, and another brigade of more than 4,000 people is here.

More than 4,000 people, this pitiful number made the commander of the Japanese major general brigade want to laugh a little, the baggage brigade of the 5th Division of Pingxingguan was ambushed and almost wiped out, that is because they are second-line baggage troops, there is not enough firepower, not enough artillery, and they are still besieged by several times the enemy.

With the strength of his current 40th Infantry Brigade, if the "Tubalu" is expanded by five times to 20,000 people, it can still make him pay a little attention, but it is only for him to pay a little attention. With 20 mountain guns and 10 infantry guns under his command, he was able to bury 20,000 "dirt roads" armed with rifles and machine guns in the mountains, even if they might occupy favorable terrain.

The major general of the Japanese army had this self-confidence. Before he remained silent on the field radio, he had received assurances from His Excellency the Division Commander that he would be ready to be assisted by 24 or more Army Air Force bombers to clear all obstacles in his path.

So, after four infantry squads had conducted nearly half an hour of reconnaissance on the ten-mile-long gorge in front of them, with a little gloomy in the dawn, and all the signals of safety were transmitted, Yoshio last month waved his hand without thinking, signaling the two infantry brigades of the front army to quickly enter the canyon, and after passing quickly, establish a position, he would lead the 80th Infantry Wing Headquarters, Brigade Headquarters and two infantry squadrons to enter later, and the Mountain Artillery Brigade and an infantry brigade would pass last.

The confident Japanese army major general would not see it at all, and after he ordered the troops to move, 1.5 kilometers away, a Chinese colonel also breathed a long sigh of relief and waved his hand to order: All units, according to the battle plan, enter the ambush position.

The ambush battle in Qigan Village, codenamed "Dawn", which was named by the military god of the Republic himself, officially kicked off.
