Liu Yun was not stupid in the first place, but after the eldest Sun Mingyue's statement, he really became a fool.

I saw that this guy's eyes were straight and stupid, and he was dizzy for a long time, and then he gradually understood and figured out the mystery.

Commander Liu smiled a little silently, "Mingyue, your trick is amazing, others are increasing troops and reducing the foci, luring the enemy to go deeper, you are hiding from the sky and the sea, so that everyone can turn a blind eye, once you really pinch it as a soft persimmon, you will ensure that your head is broken and bloody."

Fairy Mingyue smiled indifferently, yes, it is taking advantage of people's habitual blind spots.

A regiment usually has three battalions under its jurisdiction, and if you add the regimental headquarters, it is four battalion-level units, and if you learn from the Eighth Route Army and strengthen some militia and self-defense forces, no one will doubt that even if the number is as high as six or seven thousand.

But let's not forget that the combat effectiveness of the militia is basically zero compared to the regular army.

Therefore, the eldest grandson Mingyue's concealment of the sky and the sea is also extremely far-reaching, replacing the regimental headquarters with a main battalion, so where should the regimental headquarters be located?

Of course, in the Western Sichuan Air Wing.

The Air Force Wing is a high-tech unit, and when it lacks communication equipment, it is completely easy to command five or six battalion-level units in real time, and Liu Yun is not good at commanding operations, so it is quite good to stay in the camp in the rear and command it safely by remote control.

When the Japanese devils meet such a "group", they can be regarded as eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Two heavy artillery battalions, only 150 mm heavy guns, as high as 72, just counting the number of heavy artillery, even the Japanese army's permanent divisions are not as many, once encountering the Japanese army at the wing level, only after a burst of artillery bombardment, to ensure that most of the enemy is killed and wounded, as for the remaining remnants of the defeated generals, only the tank troops need to press all the way through.

If you encounter a brigade-level Japanese army, you can also call the air wing directly.

Once the air supremacy is mastered, the difficulty of dealing with a brigade of the Japanese army is actually not much better than that of dealing with a wing, and if you want to completely annihilate them, it may still be a little lacking, but it is not too difficult to defeat or severely damage them.

Especially when the enemy army still lacks air force support, it is simply a dish.

Of course, if you encounter a Japanese army at the division and regimental level, you should quickly "turn in", and as for the heavy artillery that is difficult to move, you can blow it up directly, and if it is not possible, let the air force bomb it.

Commander Liu was deeply satisfied with this, and just wanted to take advantage of Mingyue's inattention to sneak a kiss on the fairy, but Yuan Qi'er, who was eyed by the tiger, caught a current.

If it weren't for the help of the Bright Moon Fairy to intercede, she would ensure that this guy had a blue nose and swollen face, and his skin was open.

It wasn't until Senior Sister Yuan was separated by Mingyue that someone breathed a sigh of relief, but if she wanted to invite the military advisor out of the mountain, she didn't have the face to mention it again, so she had to leave sadly.

Unexpectedly, the eldest Sun Mingyue stopped and told him very cautiously, "Senior brother, your trip to Nanjing this time is not dangerous, and the killing is heavy, I and Senior Sister Yuan are cultivators, and this will cause trouble, we still help you stay in western Sichuan, after all, the future will be long."

"The coming day is long".

Liu Yun suddenly felt happy in his heart, this is a metaphorical word, he was refreshed for a while, so he no longer bothered about parting, took Mingyue's hand and kissed it, leaving Mingyue Fairy at a loss, and slipped away with a big smile, ready to convene a meeting of cronies.

The rest of the matter was easy to do, and the matter of forming the advance team was handed over to Jia Lian, and he was given three days to leave.

Only Guo Qixun, who had nothing to do, was a little uncomfortable, and Commander Liu pulled him to the map, and pointed to it slightly, which was the important town of Hebei, "Baoding and Shijiazhuang".

Guo Qixun looked at the map stupidly, a little as if he didn't understand.

Jia Lian was still a little more powerful, and after a little pondering, he knew the reason, and asked with some surprise, "Sir, is it our next military plan to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders in Shijiazhuang?" ”

"Here, but at the intersection of the Zhengtai Line and the Pinghan Line, will Chairman Shang Zhen agree?"

Shang Zhenzi Qiyu, a second-class general of the Republic of China, served as the chairman of Hebei Province and the mayor of Tianjin in 1935, a member of the Beiping Political Branch, a member of the Central Supervisory Committee of the Kuomintang of the People's Republic of China, and the chairman of the Henan Provincial Government at that time.

In August 1937, Shang Zhen concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the 20th Group Army, under the jurisdiction of the 32nd Army (Shang Zhen also led) and the 53rd Army (commander Wan Fulin), which belonged to the first theater sequence and was the main force to resist the southward movement of the Japanese army in the middle route.

Commander Liu did not answer directly, but looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until someone came back to his senses and straightened his waist again that he muttered a reply, "Chairman Shang Zhen, will he personally agree?" I don't know, but I do know one thing, the iron hooves of the Japanese devils will make him have to agree, and it will be within two or three months."

"Because once this place is lost, the whole of North China will be finished."

According to the evolution of events in another time and space, by October 10, 1937, the Japanese army in the middle route would move south along the Pinghan Line and occupy Zhengding and Shijiazhuang.

However, the consequences have been catastrophic.

On October 12, the main force of the Japanese army in the middle attacked Taiyuan along the Zhengtai line (Zhengding to Taiyuan), thus bypassing the frontal defense line of Taiyuan, making the battle of Xinkou, which had been fought for months, a joke, and almost annihilating hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.

On October 21, Niangzi Pass fell.

On November 8, Taiyuan fell.

However, the serious consequences of the fall of Shijiazhuang did not stop there.

Due to the occupation of Shijiazhuang by the Japanese army, the Japanese army was directed towards Taiyuan, and the pressure of the Japanese army in North China on the northern battlefield was greatly reduced.

On October 20, the Japanese army transferred the 6th Division, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, and the 5th Division from North China to form a mobile corps, that is, the Japanese Tenth Army, which successfully landed on the flank of the Songhu battlefield on November 5.

On November 12, Shanghai fell.

Therefore, in Liu Yun's view, Shijiazhuang was the winner and loser of the North China battlefield, and even to a certain extent, it determined the fate of the entire Songhu Battle.

It can be said that it is the lifeline, the place of life and death.

It's a pity that Lao Jiang in Nanjing, as well as Shang Zhen, Song Zheyuan and Tang Enbo in Hebei, only saw Baoding, the capital of Hebei, and Zhengding, a strategic city, but ignored such a vital point.

On October 8, the Zhengding defense battle failed, and Shijiazhuang was basically in an undefended state, so that on October 10, it was easily occupied by the Japanese army.

If you want to curb the unstoppable edge of the Japanese army, only Shijiazhuang can do it.

Because in the entire land of North China, any place can be ignored temporarily, only Shijiazhuang can not have the slightest mistake, so Commander Liu's meaning is very clear, when he returns from the Songhu battlefield, it is the day of the decisive battle between the Western Sichuan Corps and the Japanese in Shijiazhuang.

Therefore, when Jia Lian led the advance group in western Sichuan to participate in the war in Nanjing, Guo Qixun needed to temporarily lead the staff officers to carefully prepare the offensive and defensive plan for the Battle of Shijiazhuang, and he would be the commander of Shijiazhuang in the north.

Guo Qixun used to be a model brigade commander in Sichuan, so he was naturally well-informed, but it was really difficult for him to plan an offensive and defensive plan thousands of miles away.

However, Jia Lian gave him two good ideas, one was to let him send field staff officers and special detachments to follow Deng Xihou's Sichuan army to the north to investigate the terrain around Zhengding and Shijiazhuang, and if necessary, let the entire 22nd Group Army also participate in the decisive battle in Shijiazhuang.

The second is to let the various engineer battalions in western Sichuan build a full-scale terrain model according to the terrain of Zhengding and Shijiazhuang, and let Shang Qing'er take the Tricolor Flag Brigade to practice according to the Japanese army's offensive mode, simulate the Battle of Shijiazhuang in advance, and also learn from Dongxiang Heihachiro to "wait for work".

Let Major General Guo be empowered, and the mouth suddenly opened.

On 13 August, Liu Yun personally led a squadron of heavy fighter planes from the West Sichuan Military Airport, passing through Chongqing Airport and Wuhan Airport, and flying directly to Wuhu Airport near Nanjing.

The flight squadron, a total of 16 Flying Bear I. heavy fighters, composed of previous ace pilots, Flying Bear fighters to the German BF110 fighter as a model, after Professor Willy Messerschmidt many improvements, and then with the ferry's titanium vanadium alloy, the cockpit has been treated with bulletproof, so that the pilot's survivability has been greatly increased.

Therefore, the squadron is the secret weapon of the Western Sichuan Air Force.

The Flying Bear I is a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter.

The aircraft is 3.12 meters high, 8.7 meters long, wingspan 11.8 meters, two 1200 horsepower star engines, equipped with two 12.7 mm machine guns, and two 22.5 mm cannons, 2.8 tons of dead weight, can be loaded with 1.9 tons of fuel or ammunition, maximum speed of 722 kilometers per hour, economic speed of 296 kilometers, combat radius of 1200 kilometers.

In addition to the 16 Flying Bear fighters, there were also 8 Flying Bear III transport planes, which carried four air defense radars, more than 100 special forces, and a large amount of aviation ammunition.

Commander Liu himself also has an exclusive Flying Bear fighter, which is a fighter modified from a Phantom mecha.

At noon on the same day, Commander Liu's mixed plane group received the "13 August" declaration from the Nanjing Nationalist Government when they were resting and transferring from Wuhan Airport.

At this point, the Battle of Songhu officially broke out.

It is said that the "Hongqiao Airport Incident" was the fuse of the Battle of Songhu.

However, this is not the case, mainly because the Japanese army has been plotting against Nanjing and Shanghai for a long time.

Since Beiping and Tianjin had already been occupied by the Japanese army, it was too unrealistic for the Central Army under Chiang's commission to gather heavy troops to go north, not to mention that once the vicinity of Nanjing was empty, the Japanese army would immediately launch an amphibious landing, and even occupy Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing, so that the slogan of "destroying China in three months" would become a reality.

At the time of the dilemma, the "National Defense Plan (Case A)" of the Nanjing High Command was leaked.

The specific content of the plan is: "In order to ensure the security of the capital (Nanjing), the army will concentrate superior forces to annihilate the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai, and the unit will be mainly marines, with an estimated number of more than 3,000 people, and at the same time dispatch the navy, the Jiangfang army, and the fortress troops to completely annihilate the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet at the Jiangyin fortress."

After the confidential document was leaked, the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet fled from the Yangtze River estuary in a hurry under the pretext of evacuating overseas Chinese.

On August 9, 1937, Japanese Navy Lieutenant Yuo Oyama and others drove into Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport to provoke and were shot dead by the garrison security team, resulting in the "Hongqiao Airport Incident."

The Japanese army sincerely provoked trouble and created a pretext for a full-scale invasion of China, so they urgently increased the number of troops in the Shanghai area.

At the same time, under the pretext of the "Hongqiao Incident", he accused Nanjing of sabotaging the "peace agreement", asked Lao Chiang to publicly apologize, and promised that similar things would not happen again, otherwise he would "land in Shanghai" for the second time in the same way as the old incident in 1931.

On 10 August, the Nationalist Government of Nanjing, which could not bear it any longer, had no choice but to issue a "Declaration of Self-Defense and War of Resistance," declaring that "China will never give up any part of its territory" and that "in the event of aggression, it can only respond with the natural right of self-defense."

At this point, the Battle of Songhu has entered the countdown stage.

On August 12, the leaders of the Japanese army and navy reached an agreement to send troops to invade Shanghai and sent them to the Japanese emperor.

That night, the Japanese cabinet secretly held a military meeting and formally decided to send additional navy and army to China to participate in the war, and at the same time, the Japanese army headquarters signed an order to land in Shanghai.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of 13 August, more than 7,000 Japanese troops, under the command of Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Tanigawa, commander of the Third Fleet, raided Zhabei and other places on the basis of the Shanghai Concession, occupied Bazi Bridge and Zhizhi University, and indiscriminately bombed the downtown area of Shanghai with the support of the Japanese fleet's fierce artillery fire.

In view of the urgency of the situation, Nanjing ordered General Zhang Zhizhong to lead the Chinese army to fight back.

With the support of some air forces, the Chinese military and civilians launched a full-scale siege against the Japanese marines stationed in Shanghai and the area around the Hongkou concession in Shanghai, hoping to drive all the enemies in this part into the sea before the successor Japanese army arrived in Songhu.

After receiving the news of the start of the battle in Shanghai, the pilots in western Sichuan, who were resting in Hankou, cheered again and again, and they were already mentally prepared to meet the enemy, and they did not show the slightest appearance of timidity in battle, which saved Commander Liu a lot of trouble, and even avoided the general mobilization before the war.

Because the sound of gunfire is the best "pre-war mobilization".

Due to the urgency of the war on the front line, the mixed group of western Sichuan planes rushed to the Wuhu airfield, and when Liu Yun settled the flight squadron and rushed to the vicinity of Nanjing on a warship, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Lao Chiang and other personnel of the Nanjing General Staff Headquarters were discussing the progress of the Battle of Songhu in the secret base around the small camp in Pukou, and perhaps the upsurge of discussion had already passed, and in the entire underground base, there were only seven or eight generals pointing around the 300-to-1 sand table.

Lao Jiang sat on the chair in a daze, not saying a word.
