At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Weihai, an operational staff officer hurriedly reported: "The ground forces report that in the airspace of Qixia Town, the imperial fighters were suddenly intercepted by a large number of enemy fighters. The enemy army www.biquge.info equipped with new fighters, and the Imperial fighters were not opponents at all, and those who were shot down were all Imperial fighters. "Nagawa Yamamoto was stunned." Your Excellency General, Ge Yunfei dared to counterattack, relying on his air superiority, and we were fooled again! Yamamoto Nagawa woke up and said: "Ge Yunfei is too terrifying, the enemy planes will soon come to bomb, immediately transfer the fighters at the airport!" ”

There are also 10 fighters at Weihai Airport, and there is time for covert transfer. However, the fighter planes that escaped from the battlefield landed at Yantai Airport and suffered a devastating blow. Ding Bufan led 20 fighters and 10 bombardment fighters to fly over Yantai, and the aerial view of the Japanese airfield was exposed. At this time, the Japanese fighters had just landed, and it was too late to hide. In addition, the Japanese army did not have ground-based anti-aircraft artillery air defense units at all, and the Japanese airfields were almost undefended. There is no doubt that the Japanese fighters have lost their ability to resist, and unilateral air strikes are suddenly staged.

Bombers and fighters all participated in ground attacks, and they were bombed at ultra-low altitudes. With the spray of machine guns and the aerial bombs falling from the sky, the Japanese fighters that landed were torn apart and burned.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Weihai, an operational staff officer put down the phone and said: "Report to the general, Yantai Airport reports that enemy fighters have carried out a fierce bombardment of the airport, and all 12 fighters landing at the airport have been destroyed. The enemy was equipped with new bombers, and the aerial bombs dropped were judged to be 25 pounds according to the power of the explosion. ”

The Japanese statistics were accurate, but in the face of the enemy's air superiority, they could only be helpless and had no power to fight back. At this time, Commander Yamamoto Nagawa suddenly remembered something and said: "Order all artillery units on the front line to hide immediately!" Just as he had given the order, he was located at a heavy artillery position in Lacey and was spotted by 2 bombers. Previously, the J-1 bomber could only carry 2 or 5 pounds of aerial bombs, while the J-1 fighter carried 25 pounds of bombs, and the comparison between the two was incomparable.

The heavy Japanese artillery was too late to conceal it quickly. This Japanese artillery position in Lacey had 6 heavy guns. When the two fighters appeared in the air, the Japanese heavy artillery was firing. In a panic, the Japanese artillery hurriedly stopped firing and prepared to transfer the artillery. The bomber quickly reduced altitude, and aerial bombs came from the sky. One of the bombs hit a heavy gun, and when the smoke of the explosion cleared, the cannon was blown over, and the barrel seemed to groan against the ground. After the two bombers flew away, four more bombers followed.

At dusk, the commander of the Japanese army headquarters in Weihai, Yamamoto Nagawa, received a report from the front and closed his eyes in pain. "Your Excellency, the situation is not good, 4 heavy artillery positions were destroyed by enemy bombers, 6 light artillery positions were dealt heavy blows. It was also reported by the front-line defense that the enemy was armed with heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 mm. Our intelligence department is simply a rice bucket, and such important military intelligence is not even known. "The chief of staff of the Japanese army seems to be looking for an excuse for the defeat.

Nagawa Yamamoto said helplessly: "To put it bluntly, this is the evil consequence of despising the opponent, and it is also the reason for the continued failure." China has a Ge Yunfei, which is the sorrow of the Great Japanese Empire! Immediately report to the base camp truthfully, our unit was attacked by a large-scale enemy counterattack, the enemy army was equipped with more advanced combat aircraft, our fighters were powerless, almost unilateral slaughter, please make a decision quickly. "It is reported that the enemy attack on the northern front is sharp, approaching the defensive position of the second line, and the enemy troops on the southern front are under the city of Laixi." Yamamoto Nagawa was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the map to check.

"Order all units to stubbornly hold on to the 2nd line position, and not to take a step back! Order the reserve divisions to go into battle! "Yamamoto Nagawa realized that once the 2nd line of defense was breached, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops would collapse." Report to the general, call from the base camp! The chief of staff took the telegram and checked: "The headquarters order, when the Japanese Empire is facing a major crisis, for the honor of the Empire, order your troops to hold their positions and crush the enemy's attack!" Yamamoto Nagawa did not look at the telegram report: "Order the front-line troops, use the night to launch a counterattack, and be sure to contain the enemy's powerful offensive." ”

At a certain position on the northern front, the Japanese army took advantage of the night to launch a counterattack. After some fighting, the Japanese army bravely recaptured the territory. Before the Japanese soldiers could breathe, a dense burst of shells fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. The flames of the explosion quickly enveloped the position, and every shell was the arrival of death, and in the flames of the explosion, you could even see the scene of Japanese soldiers flying in the air. Once upon a time, Japanese soldiers were hit with such heavy artillery fire that they really tasted the power of enemy heavy artillery.

In the headquarters of the 1st Corps in Pingdu, Chief of Staff Wang Kun said happily: "The commander is really clever, the Japanese army really defended stubbornly in the 2nd line position, and used the night to carry out a counterattack. The 1st Division reported that its headquarters was in Area 123 and was sharply counterattacked by the Japanese. According to our prior deployment, the attacking troops took the opportunity to retreat and carry out artillery strikes, and the Japanese attacking troops suffered heavy casualties. "Damn, the trick of the Oriental devil was really guessed by the commander, so we gave us a game of cat and mouse, true and false, false and real!"

After 10 days of brutal and fierce fighting, the Japanese army paid a lot of money, and the battle line seemed to be consolidated on the second line of the Japanese defensive position. In the Jinan Headquarters, Ge Yunfei leisurely drank tea and looked calm and calm. It stands to reason that the offensive was blocked, and Ge Yunfei should feel a lot of pressure, because since the beginning of the counteroffensive, it has attracted great attention from the whole country, and the media has also hyped it, and it seems that victory is just around the corner, but due to the ineffective offensive, the attacking troops have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and the battle situation seems to have stabilized.

There were discordant voices in the domestic media, believing that Ge Yunfei was a bit arrogant, and that his existing capabilities were not enough to carry out a major counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and pointed out Ge Yunfei's shortcomings. For a while, many onlookers seemed to have become military strategists, questioning the timing of Ge Yunfei's counterattack and even the deployment of troops. In fact, this is exactly what Ge Yunfei wanted, the purpose was to let the Japanese army continue to strengthen the defensive force in the offensive direction of the 1st Corps, so as to cover up the real attempt.

Jiang Fangzhen was summing up with the operational staff officer, and after a while he came over and said: "Commander, the battle situation is completely in accordance with the pre-prediction, according to the report of the front-line attacking troops, the Japanese army began to build trenches and tunnel fortifications in the depth of the 2nd line, and the Japanese army has a very high efficiency in learning!" According to other intelligence, the artillery positions of the Japanese front line were repeatedly attacked, and the number of artillery was clearly insufficient. At present, the Japanese army has transferred artillery units from Wendeng and Haizhou to strengthen the defense of the northern front. In fact, this is what Ge Yunfei wants, and it is not surprising that his demeanor is calm.

"It seems that the strong offensive of the 1st Corps caused the Japanese army to miscalculate. The Japanese army believed that we had put the main forces into the offensive on the northern front, and the Japanese reserve 7th Division was transferred north to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Cheetah squad, and the fact that we did not return to the southern front defense is the best proof of this. The Japanese defensive forces on the southern front were mobilized, and the defensive deployment of the Japanese army was greatly disrupted, and victory was not far from us. He Zhi was ordered to continue to launch a strong attack, so that the Japanese army could continue to increase its defensive strength. Ding Bufan's air force was ordered to continue to intensify air raids. ”

In the Grand Presidential Palace in Beijing, after Ge Yunfei's counteroffensive was frustrated, Yuan Shikai's condition improved somewhat. The weather was good on this day, and Yang Du chatted with him. "Chenzi, Ge Yunfei's counterattack was frustrated, is it a little self-sufficient, thinking that he can win the battle with air superiority, don't you know that the Japanese army has been tested by cruel war." Yuan Shikai's spirit has improved significantly, and if Ge Yunfei fails, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for him. Yang Du looked at Yuan Shikai's puffy cheeks, and he didn't think so.

Nowadays, Yang Du no longer has any illusions about Yuan Shikai, but from another perspective of personal feelings, he can't "sell the master for glory" when Yuan Shikai is still alive. Yang Du thought about it again and again and decided to tell the truth. "My lord, you have more than that, Ge Yunfei's powerful offensive on the northern front is a feint, and his real purpose is to surprise on the Jimo frontline. Ge Yunfei invested 200,000 people to launch a counteroffensive on the northern front, and the other 200,000 troops have been quietly deployed on the Jimo front, and the good show is still to come! ”

"Are you saying that Ge Yunfei launched a counteroffensive and only invested half of his troops?" Yuan Shikai's face changed when he heard this. "My lord, I also just got the news that Ge Yunfei has done a very good job of keeping secrets, which has confused the Japanese, as well as military experts at home and abroad." Yang Du knew in his heart that the counteroffensive had been fought for 20 days, and today was the day when the 2nd Corps launched an attack, so it didn't matter if he told Yuan Shikai about it. Yang Du's words made Yuan Shikai's heart cloak again, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing that Yuan Shikai closed his eyes and didn't speak, Yang Du took the opportunity to leave.

The Japanese Army Headquarters in Weihai, Commander Yamamoto Nagawa's face improved significantly. He has been under defensive pressure for several days, which has made him, who has always been steady, mentally exhausted. Fortunately, the battle line stabilized, and his mood tended to improve. "Ge Yunfei's troops, after the severe test of war, are close to the imperial soldiers in terms of combat experience and will to fight. Ge Yunfei took advantage of his strong air superiority to occupy the commanding heights, and this is the lesson of our repeated defeats. ”

The chief of staff said: "The base camp has realized the importance of mastering air superiority and has begun to develop advanced fighters. Given the empire's strong technical capabilities, industrial manufacturing capabilities, it will soon reverse the passive situation. "A bunch of stupid guys, Ge Yunfei can foresee the importance of air combat to war, what did our military strategists do a long time ago. If we lose this battle, the days of the Empire's mighty navy moving unhindered in China's coastal waters are over, and this is the most terrible of all! ”

"Report, the southern defense force reported that the enemy army has moved troops on a large scale, and there are signs that the enemy army is very likely to launch an attack on Haizhou and Wendeng!" An operational staff officer reports. Nagawa Yamamoto and the chief of staff hurriedly walked to the map to check. "How is this possible, where did Ge Yunfei get the troops to launch an attack on the southern front?" The chief of staff was confused. Yamamoto Nagawa was a little dizzy, and if that was true, it would be catastrophic.
