"I wonder why the Japanese are not in a hurry to transport grain after losing a large number of reserves, it turns out that these bastards are fighting this idea!" Li Jian gritted his teeth and said.

Forcibly requisitioning grain by force on Chinese soil is something that no Chinese can endure.

Zhang Wei, commander of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, immediately asked for war: "Commander, give the order to go to war, beat him as a turtle son!" ”

"Of course we have to fight, otherwise little Japan really thinks that it can do whatever it wants on Chinese soil!" Wang Mo's anger did not decrease, and then he turned his head to Chen Yifan and asked, "How much fuel reserves are left in the flying brigade now, can they support large-scale sortie operations?" ”

Since the official war between the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance and the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, especially when the Blue Eagle Flying Group was highly valued by the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, the British completely cut off the channel for Chinese oil imports.

Therefore, the flight operations of the Blue Eagle Flying Group can only rely on the little fuel reserves that were smuggled before, and use a little less. Wang Mo had to ask about the consumption of fuel reserves before deciding whether to use the planes of the flying group on a large scale.

"Commander, please rest assured, Jimo County is not far away, so the fuel consumption is not particularly large. Even if all the planes of the flying group were dispatched, the remaining fuel reserves would be enough to support four or five times. Chen Yifan replied that he did not want the flying group to be excluded from this combat operation, otherwise those pilots would not agree to it first.

After the reconnaissance plane brought back the news that the Japanese had shot and killed the Chinese people in order to collect food, the Blue Eagle Flying Group was in a state of great distress, and the angry pilots immediately flew the planes to show the Japanese a good look. Chen Yifan temporarily suppressed the flight group on the grounds that it was necessary to report to the commander for approval for large-scale combat operations, and if he could not bring them back to the combat mission this time, he, the captain of the group, would have to be drowned by the pilots' saliva.

With the participation of the flying group, the power and lethality of the retaliatory action against Japan will naturally be greater, Wang Mo agreed after a little thought, nodded and said to Chen Yifan: "Okay, you go back immediately and prepare for the flight team to attack." The Japanese already had no means of air defense, so there was no need to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft and fighters for this retaliatory operation. Get all the bombers ready to strike and wait for my further orders! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Chen Yifan replied excitedly.

"Also, stones. You go and pass on my order immediately, and the 300 special combat teams directly under the headquarters immediately disperse and infiltrate Jimo County, and give Lao Tzu a fierce strangulation of the Japanese army's food collection team, and the special service department will send special service personnel to assist! Wang Mo then ordered.

"Yes!" Chen Shishi answered the order, and then turned around and walked away quickly. Rushed to the special operations camp to convey Wang Mo's order.

These 300 special combat teams were actually specially transferred from Sichuan under Wang Haoshan's strong orders to be used as the guards around Wang Mo. Since the assassination in Hankou, the people around Wang Mo have been very concerned about his safety, and they can't wait for him to go out with 1,800 guards.

"Commander, our first division is going to fight! The Japanese have done such bestiality to the common people, as a Chinese ** person, this is absolutely intolerable! Li Jian asked Wang Mu for war.

Zhang Wei also followed closely and asked: "Commander, our second division requests to fight!" If these Oriental pirates dare to do something to the common people and don't clean them up, then what face will we have to meet the people of Shandong in the future! ”

The more angry the time. The more calm you are!

Wang Mo secretly warned himself in his heart, thought twice, and then said in a deep voice: "We have fewer troops, if we want to move, we will move together!" The order was given to the whole army to immediately pull out the camp and advance the entire defense line 30 miles in the direction of Jimo! ”

"Only 30 miles? Commander, in this case, the Japanese army may shrink its defensive line and may not start a full-scale war with us. Li Jian reminded that he didn't understand the use of only advancing 30 miles in the direction of Jimo.

"No!" Wang Mo waved his hand. said: "We advance 30 miles a day, and this time we have to learn the tactics of the cold and weapon era - step by step!" Don't be afraid of trouble, dig trench positions every 30 miles and lay out the defensive line. The artillery regiment directly under the headquarters should also keep up and be ready to fire artillery at any time. Step by step! ”

Jiaoxian is only 60 kilometers away from Jimo County, and at a rate of 30 miles per day, it will take about three or four days to meet the Japanese 18th Division.

The current situation is that the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army is inferior in strength, but it is superior in firepower, and there is no danger of lack of ammunition.

Although "step by step" is a tactic in the era of cold and weapons, in this case. It is not necessarily not applicable to the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

To put it another way, the "step by step" that Wang Mo said is to make the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army a hedgehog that is grouped up, maintaining its aggressiveness while approaching the target. This avoided getting caught up in the Japanese army's crowd tactics and exposing flaws, but forced the Japanese army to crash into their spikes, so as to achieve the goal of killing and injuring a large number of Japanese soldiers.

Li Jian and Zhang Wei are not stupid people, and they have been by Wang Mo's side for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to Wang Mo's combat style and tactical tactics, and after a little thought, they will understand the advantages of this "step by step" tactic.

"Yes, Commander!"

Li Jian and Zhang Wei responded in unison, and then each went to command the troops to pull out the camp and advance in the direction of Jimo County.

Subsequently, Wang Mo issued a telegram, condemning the Japanese army for shooting and killing Chinese civilians and forcibly requisitioning grain, and announced that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army officially launched a retaliatory operation against the Japanese army!

The news spread, and public opinion across the country was boiling!

"China is not a colony, and we can't let foreigners do whatever they want!"

"Blood debts must be repaid in blood, and the Japanese must pay the price for their bloody bestiality!"

"If you can't stand up in this situation, you don't deserve to be called China's army!"

……

The people of the whole country became more and more hostile and hateful to the so-called Anglo-Japanese coalition army, and greatly appreciated and supported Wang Mo's move, and many young students in Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin, and other big cities spontaneously raised military funds for the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army to show their support.

Unconsciously, under the influence of Wang Mo's series of practical actions against the great powers, the popular sentiment of the Chinese people is recovering and rising little by little.

What is the will of the people?

Invisible and intangible, but irreplaceably important!

If the Republic of China wants to complete its rejuvenation and stand tall among the world's great powers, in addition to a rich country and a strong army, a high degree of cohesion of the people is also indispensable.

After the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army launched a retaliatory operation against Japan, it was not the main force that moved first, but a large number of elite reconnaissance troops.

In order to ensure the smooth advance of the main force, Wang Mo ordered a large number of elite troops to be scattered, and at the same time strangle a small group of Japanese reconnaissance troops, pull out a warning area for the main force. In this way, even if the Japanese attack, the main force will have enough time to react and quickly organize a defensive line.

However, according to the deduction of Wang Mo and others, two days before the gradual advance of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, the Japanese should choose to temporarily avoid the edge.

Sure enough, not surprisingly, the Japanese army had no intention of going to war with a large scale at this time, because they were still waiting for a new batch of ammunition supplies from the Tokyo headquarters.

After the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army advanced towards Jimo County, the Japanese army's peripheral troops continued to shrink their defensive lines to avoid a full-scale war with the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army.

Under such circumstances, in the first two days of the retaliatory operation against Japan, the protagonists were not the main force of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, but the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade and the 300 special combat teams scattered and infiltrated Jimo County.

……

Jimo County, Headquarters of the 18th Division.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Terauchi Masatsuki slapped the Japanese officer in charge of the grain requisition operation, Fujii Shigetaro, and scolded with a blue face: "Yaga! You stupid red deer, I just asked you to lead the team to collect food, who told you to shoot and slaughter the civilians of China? ”

Fujii Shigetaro's cheeks were beaten high and swollen on both sides, but he didn't dare to dodge at all, solemnly bowed his head and said loudly: "Hey, Your Excellency General, it's really too hateful for the people of Zhina, they have gathered a large number of people to surround the grain collection team, if we don't shoot the last batch, we won't be able to collect food at all." ”

This argument seems to be quite reasonable, but the more Zhengyi in the temple listened, the more angry he became, and with a "snap" he slapped the officer to the ground and scolded angrily: "Extremely stupid! Do you know that just because of your stupid behavior that angered Wang Mo, it is likely to cause our decisive battle with him to break out early! ”

The god tail Guangchen on the side persuaded: "Your Excellency General, please calm your anger, as far as the current situation is concerned, Wang Mo should not have the intention of starting an all-out war with us immediately, otherwise he would not have advanced gradually like this, but launched the most fierce and ferocious offensive." ”

Hearing this, Terauchi Masatsuki's face softened slightly, and he shouted at Fujii Shigetaro: "Get out, the grain requisition operation continues, but you must not shoot and slaughter the civilians of Shina again, so as not to completely anger Wang Mo." ”

If you want to forcibly requisition food, you can't shoot and kill people?

Fujii Shigetaro couldn't help but have an embarrassed face, and he wanted to say something, but as soon as he touched the cold gaze of Terauchi Zhengyi, he quickly swallowed back the words that came to his lips, got up and bowed and responded: "Hi! ”

After Fujii Shigetaro left, Terauchi Masatsuki scolded angrily: "What a stupid red deer! If the officers of the Japanese Empire were like him, how could they conquer China and accomplish the great cause of dominating Asia? ”

Afterwards, Terauchi Masashi turned his head to Kamio Mitsutomi and asked, "Kamio-kun, are you sure that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance has no intention of going to war on a large scale?" You must know that before the new batch of ammunition supplies arrives at the Tokyo headquarters, if we start a full-scale war with Wang Mo, we don't have much chance of winning. ”

"Your Excellency General, rest assured, although most of the small reconnaissance troops we sent out were strangled by the Chinese people, from the deployment and advance speed of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, and the careful and careful deduction of the General Staff, it is certain that Wang Mo wants to advance step by step, so as to oppress our army, and then use its powerful firepower advantage to inflict heavy losses on our army, so as to achieve the strategic goal of defeating and annihilating our army."

"Since this is the case, then let the people of China be arrogant for a few days for the time being, order all departments on the front line to shrink their defensive lines, and increase the actions of reconnaissance troops to keep an eye on the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army! As soon as the ammunition supply arrives, launch an all-out assault and completely annihilate the damned Shina people! Terauchi Zhengyi said viciously, the killing intent in his eyes was like substance. (To be continued.) )
