It's just that Zhang Mingyu didn't know that the Pacific War launched against the allied forces led by the United States would never happen again. At this time, the army was already equipped with more than 200 Zero fighters sent by China.

You must know that at this time, there were less than 350 Zero fighters in the whole country, and 100 of them were to be deployed in the city and 200 were to be equipped for the navy, but due to the bad situation in North China, at the strong request of the generals of the Chinese dispatch army headed by Okamura Ninji, the base camp changed its decision.

More than 200 new fighters (Zero fighters) were deployed in the North China battlefield, of which more than 100 were stationed at Tianjin Airport and more than 100 were stationed at Beiping and Baoding airports.

Zhang Mingyu pondered for a while, and said to Liu Cheng: "Chief of Staff, you have prepared a telegram to send to Su Dingtian, asking all the pilots of the Air Force Division to keep in mind that when the military plane encounters, it must not be fought with it at low altitude, and it can be brought into high altitude to shoot it down. ”

Zhang Mingyu paused and said: "Also, if you are caught up by the new devil plane at low altitude, you must not climb and get rid of it quickly, because the climb rate of the devil plane is much higher than ours."

It can be swooped down and thrown off. There is also a devil plane that cannot be pursued as it climbs rapidly. All of the above are all ways to deal with this new type of fighter like the devil, and the pilots of the whole division must keep it in mind. ”

"Yes!" Liu Cheng snapped and stood upright. Although he was incredulous about how Zhang Mingyu knew so much, Zhang Mingyu's words were better than Chairman Chiang's "holy decree," and he resolutely carried them out and believed them.

……………………….

In the middle of the night, the sky is full of stars, shining like night pearls in the dark space. In Beiping, in Okamura Ninji's office, the lights are always on.

The chief of the general staff of the Northern Army, Naosaburo Okabe, walked quickly into Okamura Ninji's office with a telegram in his hand, and at this time Okamura Ninji was bowing his head to review the documents, Okabe Naosaburo strode up, and suddenly closed up and said: "General, first, fourth." The 8th Division, as well as the 1st Chariot Division, had arrived in Baoding, and were on their way to Qingdu by train, and it was expected that the encirclement of the guard camp of the Reading Army would be completed before dawn. ”

Okamura Ninji raised his head suddenly, and immediately cracked his mouth and smiled: "I want Nishibaga!" Okabe-kun, you are very talented, if you can completely annihilate the reading force and capture Zhang Mingyu alive this time, you should be the first to remember. ”

"Hay! Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for the compliment, and I would like to give you good news! This afternoon, two new-type fighters of the Second Flying Squadron of the First Flying Corps encountered four Chinese planes in the sky over Gyeongdu. Okabe Naosaburo bowed his head suddenly, then raised his head and said.

"How's it going?" Okamura Ninji asked a little anxiously.

"I say that this imperial army and air force have won a complete victory! Shot down two Chinese fighters, and the remaining two escaped in a hurry. Okabe Naosaburo said excitedly.

"To the West! As long as the aviation can suppress the Chinese Air Force, then the Imperial Army will be invincible! Ha ha! Okamura Ninji was in a good mood and suddenly got carried away.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Gang slept a good night, got up early, and just walked out of the command headquarters, Wang Hanshan ran over in a panic, and said uprightly: "Camp, it's not good!" ”

"What's wrong? So flustered! Li Gang asked puzzled.

"Yingza, we are surrounded by little devils! I just sent a few soldiers to the periphery to inquire about the situation, and found that a large number of devil soldiers suddenly appeared ten miles away from our periphery, and the preliminary reconnaissance strength was at least two divisions, or even more! Wang Hanshan said nervously.

"Two divisions?" Li Gang gasped, then paced back and forth, and then said, "Immediately send electricity to the military seat!" Let's just say that a large number of troops have suddenly appeared around our unit, with a strength of about two divisions, and our unit has not yet been attacked, so I asked the military seat for instructions on what we should do. ”

"Yes!" Wang Hanshan replied loudly.

At this time, Zhang Mingyu had already moved with the main force of the First Division in the direction of Wangdu Mountain, and the forward regiment of the First Division had already arrived in the territory of Dingbei County (now Dingzhou City).

Zhang Mingyu was driving in an armored car, when suddenly the armored car braked suddenly, and Liu Cheng next to him opened the door and saw a communications staff officer standing outside the car.

Seeing Zhang Mingyu, the communications staff officer hurriedly stood up and said: "Military seat, chief of staff, urgent call from the guard battalion!" ”

"Press?" Zhang Mingyu and Liu Cheng looked at each other and said to the communications staff officer: "Read.!" ”

"The guard battalion called and said that a large number of military activities had suddenly appeared around them, and the preliminary judgment was that the strength of the army was about two divisions and regiments, and that the army had not launched an attack on the guard battalion at present, and Battalion Commander Li asked for instructions on how to act." The communications staff officer quickly finished reading.

"Two divisions? Good boy, little devil popped out of there? Liu Cheng exclaimed: "Could it be that they want to eat our guard battalion?" ”

Zhang Mingyu pondered for a while, and said to the communications staff officer: "Order all regiments, advance at full speed, and open the way in front of the head of the armored division!" Rush to the aid of Wangdu Mountain! ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer snapped to his feet and gladly walked away.

"Military seat, the devil has two divisions, should we transfer the second division up?" Liu Cheng said a little worriedly.

"There is no need to transfer the second division to the two divisions, and the second division needs to guard Taiyuan, so it is not appropriate to transfer. The main force of the North China Army has long been completely annihilated by us, and these two divisions and regiments must have been temporarily turned into a mixed brigade by little devils, and their combat effectiveness will not be very strong. With the assistance of the armored division, I am confident that I will defeat these two divisions head-on, so that everyone in the world will know who is the king of land warfare! Zhang Mingyu said without thinking.

"Junzao, otherwise, you sit in the north and command, and I will lead a division to aid the guard battalion and defeat these two divisions!" Liu Cheng suggested.

"No, I have to attend this time! The guard battalion is the trump card of my reading force, there is no room for mistakes, I will go in person, and the matter will be in order! Zhang Mingyu decisively rejected Liu Cheng's suggestion. It's not that Zhang Mingyu is hypocritical, of course he knows that staying in the rear has greatly improved his safety, but the devil he faced this time has an absolute superiority in troops, and Zhang Mingyu is afraid that Liu Cheng will not command properly. Moreover, he and Li Gang have been brothers for a long time, and when they saw Li Gang being surrounded, they were inevitably anxious.

………… Baoding, known as the headquarters of the army garrison commander.

Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, and Naosaburo Okabe, chief of the General Staff of the Northern Army, had already arrived here, and Naosaburo Okabe and Mijiro Umezu were playing against each other in the headquarters.

Okabe Naosaburo fell to the ground and said, "Umezu-kun, you have worked hard all the way!" ”

"Smack" Umezu Mijiro left a son behind, and said: "It's not hard, for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, for the holy war of the empire, what is my hard work?" ”
