Although Liu Yimin did not know the performance of the North China Commander Terauchi Shouichi that night, he already knew what measures he might take, for example, if Terauchi Shouichi mobilized the 5th Division, 10th Division, 16th Division, and 108th Division on the Jinpu Line to attack Xuzhou to encircle and suppress him, first, let Zhang Haitao blow up the Jinpu Road and delay the enemy's troop transportation. Second, if the enemy's heavy troops still arrive, he will order all five brigades in southern Hebei and Luxi to kill Shandong, and turn him upside down in Shandong. I take the main force of the devil in Jizhong mushroom, and strive to kill part of it, preferably the fifth division, the tenth division, the sixteenth division and other ace troops, killing a brigade is a brigade, killing a wing is a wing, if you can kill a brigade, it is the most elite old devil, kill a devil who resists and kills ten garrisons. As long as he can drag these devils in Jizhong for a month, Li Zongren's deployment on the Xuzhou side may be ready. When the time comes, you can just lead the main force to turn around and run away, and if necessary, you can also throw away the bulky tank, and lead the main force to break through lightly, I believe that the little devils can't do anything about themselves.

Of course, although he had a plan in mind for what measures the army would take, Liu Yimin was still highly vigilant, and Luo Yan's reconnaissance battalion had already spread out all around southern Hebei, and there were scouts on Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, Deshi Road, and Cangshi Road who were acting covertly, and intelligence was constantly gathering. In addition to not being able to reconnoiter the movements of the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet, Liu Yimin also grasped the situation of the ground forces of the Chinese army around southern Hebei.

After a night of rapid marching, at dawn, the troops arrived in Fucheng County, and Wang Dahu and Wang Laohu, who served as the vanguard, took Fucheng County with ease. Liu Yimin ordered the troops to camp on the spot and pay attention to air defense.

At this time, the main force of the army sweeping Jizhong was basically concentrated on the Deshi Road, and there were basically no troops between Fucheng and Jiaohe, even in this Fucheng county, there was only one squadron of the army and hundreds of puppet troops who had just surrendered. Wang Dahu and Wang Laohu basically slipped the devil and the puppet army up in the bed, and they didn't even fire a shot. The most gratifying thing is that after taking Fucheng County, a military radio station and the code book of the army were seized, Qian Zhuangfei was happy like a child, and said to Liu Yimin that it would be fine, and we would all know what happened to Shouyi in the temple.

Liu Yimin knew that since the army changed the password, Qian Zhuangfei had not been able to crack the password of the army. The 21st Division and the 4th Mixed Brigade of Reading were under heavy artillery fire, and the radio station could not be captured. The captured radio station and code book of the Yue Army this time can be directly contacted by the large army of the Yue Army, and Terauchi Shouichi will be clear about what Qian Zhuangfei wants to do. Therefore, Liu Yimin asked Qian Zhuangfei to listen to the telegrams of the army as soon as possible, and when necessary, he could use false information to mobilize the army.

As for the question of whether the whereabouts of the troops will be leaked, Liu Yimin is not worried. The troops wore military uniforms, played the sun flag of the Japanese army, and spoke in Chinese language, and the common people would think that the army was coming again, and they couldn't hide, so where would someone come to inquire about the situation. If those Han anniversaries who don't open their eyes think that the imperial army has arrived and come up to offer their courtesy, they will naturally come and go.

Seeing that all the troops were camped in the villages and towns around Jiaohe, Liu Yimin told Qian Zhuangfei to report a major situation immediately, and then went to rest.

Just when the main force of the instructor was camping, General Shouichi Terauchi, who had not slept all night, finally raised his head from the map.

Looking at Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo who was standing beside him, General Terauchi Shouichi said directly: "Order the aviation to immediately dispatch to Linqing, Wucheng, Gucheng, Dexian, Jingxian, Fucheng, Jiaohe, Wuqiang, Wuyi, Xianxian, and Cangxian, and carefully investigate all the way, and we must find out the location of the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor; The commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, and the commander of the 24th Division, Lieutenant General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, were ordered to guard the Jinpu Road, Pinghan Road, Deshi Road, and Cangshi Road. The top priority at the moment is to focus on guarding the Cangshi Road, and we must block Liu Yimin's main force south of the Cangshi Road, otherwise we will have to build a defense line on the Baoda Road. In that case, it means that the imperial army has retreated to the starting point, and our Jizhong public security and rectification operation has to end hastily. ”

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe came back after giving the order, and when he saw that General Terauchi was still in a daze in front of the map, he advised him to go and take a rest, and he would be called if there was a situation.

Overnight, General Terauchi seemed to be a little older again, and his eyes were a little cloudy. Looking at Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, General Terauchi Shouichi said tiredly: "Okabe-kun, please, pay close attention to the battle ahead." On the Shanxi side, he urged Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingsi to speed up his actions, and on the Shandong side, he urged Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzao to let all divisions and regiments carry out the original plan, and temporarily mix the wing of the 21st Division left in Dexian County and the 108th Division to undertake the defense task from Dexian to Jinan on the Jinpu Line. Tell Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara that the task now is not to attack, but to defend. After the Fifth Brigade and the Zhutun Army's Reading Brigade returned to Beiping and Tianjin, Lieutenant General Komatsubara Michitaro's forces were a little weak and were easily broken by each one, and once the Cangshi Road was broken through, the 23rd Division and the 24th Division would abandon the Deshi Road and make every effort to deploy a defensive line on Baoda Road, and in any case stabilize the front south of Baoda Road. If Liu Yimin is really allowed to fight under this Beiping city, I'm afraid we will really commit suicide by disembowelment. Ordered Kita Seiichi to speed up and negotiate with Liu Yimin as soon as possible. We must go all out to ensure the Shanxi and Shandong wars, and if necessary, order the 14th Division to support the Shanxi or Shandong battlefields. ”

After the explanation, General Shouichi Terauchi went to bed again.

The early morning sun shone on the windows of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Wuhan, bringing some warmth to the official residence in winter.

Tomorrow is the New Year, and due to the invasion of the Kou, many Chinese wives and families in North China and along the Yangtze River have been separated and their families have been destroyed. For Chinese, there is really nothing to celebrate this Spring Festival. The only thing that makes the Chinese people happy is that the practice of the first half year since the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has proved that the three-month annihilation of China that the army originally advocated was nothing but empty words. Now the Yue army not only failed to destroy China, but under the blow of the Chinese [***] team, it lost its troops and lost its generals.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek, who got up early to work at the desk, unconsciously put a smile on his face.

The door opened, Dai Li walked in, and after saluting, Dai Li presented a few telegrams, and Chiang Kai-shek flipped them through casually, all about Liu Yimin's tutor. The first telegram said that according to a report by the Beiping Radio Station of the Chinese Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, sent Major General Seiichi Kita, head of the special service of the North China Front, to southern Hebei to negotiate with General Liu Yimin. The second telegram recorded an open letter from Li Chengyi, commander of Liu Yi's Guard's Regiment, to Shouichi Terauchi, the third telegram was the news of the martyrdom of Li Yimo, commander of the Air Defense Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the fourth telegram was the information that the instructor of the Eighth Route Army had annihilated the main force of the 21st Division of the Chinese Army and the Fourth Brigade of the Reading Power Mixed Brigade, and the fifth telegram was the information that the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese Army had fought a fierce battle on Deshi Road last night.

After reading the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek remained silent and gently put the telegram aside.

Seeing this, Dai Li hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Report to the principal, if this Xi Duocheng negotiates with General Liu Yimin, the situation in North China will be even more critical. The students want to ask the principal for approval and take measures against Liu Yimin if necessary. ”

Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and stared at Dai Li for a while, and saw that a layer of fine beads of sweat had oozed from Dai Li's face, and then he said: "Don't worry, Liu Yimin will not negotiate with Yue himself, he just wants to blackmail Yue himself and sell the corpses of Yue soldiers for money." In the future, the focus on Liu Yimin's work will be how to make him our person, rather than taking measures against him. Besides, if you want to take measures against him, do you have the ability to do this? ”

Dai Lisa was speechless. Chiang Kai-shek also said: "I think you can put more effort into Nanjing and Shanghai to crack down on the Han forces. ”

Dai Li hurriedly nodded in response, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, let Dai Li retreat, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that the current situation is not bad, the army is in Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army to the death, in Jizhong and the Eighth Route Army to the death, there is no major war in Central China for the time being, the only thing to worry about is the Xuzhou side, it seems that you have to go to Xuzhou again, urge Li Delin to hurry up the deployment of defense, time waits for no one. In case the [***] Eighth Route Army can't withstand the offensive of the Yue Army, the little devil will soon launch an attack in the direction of Xuzhou.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek rang the small bell on the table, let the guards in, and told him to invite Mr. Bray.

After Chen Bui came in, Chiang Kai-shek showed him the telegram of Li Yimo's martyrdom and told him to send a telegram of condolences to [***], the 18th Group Army, and Liu Yimin in the name of the chairman, and the words should be pertinent, and earnestly commend Li Yimo and Yue Kou's achievements in fighting to the death.

Chen Bui asked: "Chairman of the committee, should we issue a pension and posthumously award a military rank?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "Give a pension of 5,000 yuan to the family, and the military rank is not necessary, [***] don't care about this, that Liu Yimin has never worn a lieutenant general uniform." ”

After Chen Bui left, Chiang Kai-shek remembered that his wife had said yesterday that Ni Hua's steamer had arrived in Hong Kong and would be back immediately. Chiang Kai-shek felt that he could not miss this excellent opportunity to win over Liu Yimin, so he got up and went to his wife to discuss carefully.

After receiving Liu Yimin's telegram requesting the First and Second Brigades of the Eighth Route Army to attack the airports in Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, [***] immediately asked the telegram to be forwarded to Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun for them to study and implement.

Since Chang Qiankun led a detachment from Tianjin to Shaanxi, the strength of the Eighth Route Army's air force has increased dramatically, and training has been tightened, with the aim of returning to the battlefield as soon as possible. Now that they had received Liu Yimin's telegram, Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun knew that it must have been the military planes that had done a great evil in North China, otherwise, the division commander would not have ordered an air raid on the Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang airports.

After Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun studied it, they decided to divide their troops into two routes and attack the Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang airfields at the same time, so as not to let the aviation units of the Yue army bite after a long time.

After David returned to Shaanxi, he had a very comfortable life. Although the military planes also bombed Xi'an on a large scale some time ago, the airport is located in the Qinling Mountains of Zhouzhi, and the military has not discovered it, and there is no problem with safety. In addition, during the last air raid on the military airfield in North China, the heroic spirit of several soldiers who died with the enemy infected these retired US military instructors, and David and his men devoted all their minds to training soldiers, and their lives were very fulfilling. When they were free, everyone was accompanied by a few beautiful women, delicate and delicate, and the bones of Davy and several people were crispy.

When Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun came to convey the order, David remembered that Liu Yimin was still fighting on the front line, and immediately studied the battle plan and formation issues with Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun. In the end, it was decided to set off at 6 o'clock in the morning, form two bomber formations, and attack Taiyuan Airport and Shijiazhuang Airport under the escort of fighter planes. Strive to paralyze these two airports of the devil in one fell swoop.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the devils on Taiyuan Airport were already busy. The devil's ground crew was busy refueling the plane and preparing for the plane to take off for a mission.

At 10 o'clock in July, the fighters on duty in the air suddenly discovered that a swarm was rushing towards the airfield, and hurriedly issued a combat alarm that enemy planes were coming, and the air defense sirens on the airfield were immediately sounded, and the terrible sirens were urging the ground air defense units of the Chinese army to quickly enter their positions, and the loudspeakers on the tower were also constantly shouting: "There are enemy planes coming, and all planes will take off to meet the enemy." ”

If it was too late to take off at this time, it would not be called an air raid.

David and Rothschild each took a cadet-piloted wingman to form a squadron of fighters to escort the bombers. Listening to the command from the military tower ordering the plane to take off to meet the enemy, David grinned, and said in his heart, what did he do earlier, and at this time he remembered that it was too late for the plane to take off to meet the enemy?

So, David shouted over the radio: "Boys, rush down, set fire to the army's oil depot, and blow up their planes." Come on! As soon as he pushed the longitudinal pole, he took his wingman to meet the two fighters of the Japanese army on the alert mission.

These fighters are all cadets who have participated in air combat, and after further training during this time, their level has improved rapidly. Although there is a big gap compared to the ace pilot, I don't feel that it is the same as when I first went to the battlefield. Seeing the neatly parked planes on the Taiyuan Airport, according to the order of formation, the nose of the plane was pressed down, and it dived down directly.

This is the second time that Taiyuan Airport has been bombed, and the vigilance of the army is also very high. However, the advantage of the plane is its speed, and the dive-bombing shot of the pilots of the Eighth Route Army immediately made a mess on the airfield. The sound of horns, motors, boiling voices, bomb explosions, and anti-aircraft machine guns are intertwined, turning Taiyuan Airport into a living bombing site.
