The impact of the destruction of Baoding airport is enormous.

The small unit of the Eighth Route Army successfully ambushed the chief of staff of the 23rd Division, Da Neizi Dazuo, and his party, and then entered the airport under the pretext of Da Neizi Dazuo, completely annihilated the defenders, and blew up the entire airport.

General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okanabe Naosaburo discussed together for a long time, and they always held that there were three difficulties that had to be overcome in this operation of the small unit of the Eighth Route Army: First, it was necessary to know the accurate actions of Major General Ouchizi. This problem has already been clarified, and the 23rd Division has investigated it very clearly, and Da Neizi Dazuo sent telegrams and telephone calls to the airfield and the defenders along the line more than once before his departure and during the march, and the Eighth Route Army probably obtained information from telephone calls or telegrams and set up an ambush in Dongshiqiao Village in advance. This shows that this Eighth Route Army has the ability to use radio and telephone to collect intelligence. Second, the small unit of the Eighth Route Army must be proficient in the Chinese language, and it must be proficient in the Kumamoto accent language, otherwise, pretending to be the chief of staff of the 23rd Division and his party will inevitably be exposed. As soon as this question was raised, Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo were so frightened that they stumbled, because in their impression, most of the people in Shina were illiterate, and they couldn't even figure out the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Third, the firepower of the small units of the Eighth Route Army is bound to be extremely powerful, especially the automatic firepower allocation, which must be super powerful. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this small unit of the Eighth Route Army to break through the flanking attack of the 22nd and 23rd Divisions.

After analyzing the reasons why the small units of the Eighth Route Army were able to successfully attack the Baoding airport, General Terauchi Shouichi suddenly discovered that the combat style of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army was completely different from that of the 115th Division, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army. The instructor is very different, every battle is a total annihilation, and none of the soldiers of the imperial army have escaped the net. In this way, the gap comes out. Fighting against other Eighth Route Army, those who broke through were the elite of the elite, and as long as new soldiers and weapons and equipment were replenished, the continuation of the combat effectiveness of the troops and the integrity of the establishment could be ensured. Fighting with the instructor, the troops that broke out of the encirclement were equal to zero, not to mention the general elite, that is, those veterans of a hundred battles could not escape from death, the entire army was shattered, and the troops were formed into a recruit training team. In this way, every time he fights with the instructor, the strength of the imperial army is really reduced by one point, and in the end, I am afraid that those well-trained veterans will be lost, and the rest will become a recruit training brigade.

After thoroughly analyzing the problem, General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Okamibe Naosaburo broke out in a cold sweat, if this development continues, wouldn't it be that the elite of the imperial army will be buried in the hands of Liu Yimin's mentor?

After learning from the pain, General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe both realized an important problem, that is, this small unit of the Eighth Route Army was not ordinary, and it was likely to be Liu Yimin's sharp knife unit that attacked Taiyuan and captured Tianjin. Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain the problem of being able to speak and understand the internal situation of the army and the classification of tasks.

General Terauchi Shouichi suddenly realized that the tactical quality of this small unit of the Eighth Route Army had surpassed that of the Imperial Army, and if nothing else, the fact that this small unit of the Eighth Route Army was able to return to the sea under the flanking attack of the garrison units of the 22nd and 23rd Divisions showed that this small unit was not carrying out the tactics of ordinary troops.

General Terauchi Shouichi suddenly thought of the officers sent by the empire to Germany to learn special tactics, and his heart suddenly chuckled, could it be that this small unit of the Eighth Route Army used the special tactics of the German army?

When General Terauchi Shouichi came to this thought, he couldn't contain it anymore, and hurriedly pulled Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe to the war room, spread out the information he had collected from the instructor, and reviewed it page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Starting from the defeat of the Red Army's Long March on the Xiangjiang River, Liu Yimin seems to have the shadow of a sharp knife army every time he fights. This army seems to be omnipotent, doing all the work that the black tiger has worked for, and it has never missed. Otherwise, Liu Yimin would not have been so crazy, attacking Chengdu, occupying Taiyuan, and seizing Tianjin.

These examples illustrate a problem: Liu Yimin trained a special unit, which was proficient in the dialect and the dialect of the various divisions and regiments of the imperial army, and could disguise the imperial army to enter the key points of the imperial army's garrison at any time and place. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of this small unit is very strong, basically referring to where to fight. If Liu Yimin had a whim one day, this small army might be his killer weapon for making trouble in Tianjin and going to Beiping.

General Terauchi Shouichi once again remembered Liu Yimin's words threatening to kill him, and at this time he felt every hair on his neck stand up, as if every guard around him was a soldier of Liu Yimin's small army. Lieutenant General Naosaburo of the Gangbu reminded that the officers sent by the empire to Germany to study special operations seemed to be coming back soon, and they should be brought over to form a special forces unit of the North China Front Army to deal with Liu Yimin. Only then did General Terauchi Shouichi lift his spirits, and he laughed at his timidity in his heart, and ordered Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbu to send a telegram to the base camp, requesting the formation of a special force of the North China Front Army to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the report of the instructor's destruction of the Baoding airport, [***] in Xi'an sighed that the plane from the Baoding airport was not brought back to Xi'an, and at the same time was surprised that there was no casualty among our troops. Only then did I remember that since the attack on Chengdu from Zunyi, Liu Yimin's troops have not only won a hundred battles, but also suffered very few casualties. In particular, the occupation of Yibin, the capture of Chengdu, the capture of Xi'an, the capture of Taiyuan, and the attack on Tianjin, the instructors who were strong and persistent seemed to be so lucky in every siege battle, and the casualties were almost negligible. [***] immediately sent a telegram to the instructor, asking for an immediate report on the number, strength and equipment of the troops that destroyed the Baoding airport. After learning that it was the special operations brigade of the instructor, that is, the special service battalion in the regular number, carried out the task of destroying the Baoding airport and implementing special operations tactics, [***] immediately asked the instructor to send instructors to the 115th Division, the Reading Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division to teach the special operations tactics of the special service battalion and improve the level of technical warfare of our army.

After receiving the good news, General Manager Zhu, who was commanding operations on the Shanxi front, directly sent a report to the 115th Division, the Reading Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division, urging the 115th Division to seize the opportunity of the Japanese army's invasion of the Jinzhong base area, quickly mobilize, take the initiative to attack and harass the railways and highways, and gradually restore the base area. He asked the division to strive to fight several more battles like the Hongkou ambush in Jinzhong, not to ask for more each time, and to concentrate the strength of one division to destroy a large brigade of the Yue Army, gradually destroy and weaken the enemy, and drive the devils out of the base areas. The 120th Division is required to actively develop in the direction of Suiyuan and continuously expand the influence of our army. The 115th and 129th Divisions were required to act in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities to quickly organize forces to go to central and southern Hebei, organize and train troops, mobilize the masses, consolidate the base areas in central and southern Hebei, and enable the main force of teachers and instructors to free up their hands and quickly advance eastward. At the end of the telegram, Mr. Zhu stimulated several division commanders: "Compared with the instructors, the 115th Division, the Reading Division, the 120th Division, and the 129th Division are all big brother troops, and they should set an example everywhere." The problem now is that the instructor is coming from behind, not to mention the previous achievements, this time he was able to destroy the Baoding airport with zero casualties, which shows that the instructor has provided learning materials for all units of our army in terms of work style cultivation, tactical quality, command and deployment, and so on. The General Headquarters demanded that the commanders of all divisions conscientiously study the combat examples of their instructors, give full play to our army's flexible and mobile strategies and tactics, take the initiative to strike at the enemy, and constantly expand their base areas. ”

As soon as this telegram was issued, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Shanxi direction went into action. However, all the troops seem to have learned to teach their instructors, pay attention to more captures, lower casualties, and focus on the devil's transportation line, so that the army is unpredictable and unpredictable how many troops the Eighth Route Army has.

After Li Lingfeng led the 2nd and 3rd Special Operations Squadrons to evacuate the Baoding Airport, he did not entangle with Yue Kou too much because of the large number of captures, but took advantage of the cover of night and the mobility of the car to quickly move south, join up with the Western Front Group that was hiding and resting, and then rushed back to Nangong.

Liu Yimin didn't realize at this time that the old devil Shouyi in the temple was going to form a special operations force to deal with his special operations team, but he also knew that there was no impermeable wall in the world, and with the ability of the little devil, many of his secrets would be discovered by the devil with the development of time. Although he is a time-traveler and has 70 years of thinking and knowledge that is more advanced than the little devil, in this era, the advantage of the little devil's national strength cannot be changed by himself alone, and international forces, including the United States, are needed to sanction the extremely arrogant little man. However, he has the self-confidence that through his own efforts, he will turn China's anti-Japanese battlefield into a meat grinder for himself, and strangle the essence of the army little by little. In the end, the war criminals represented by Emperor Hirohito and Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace should be punished one by one.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Nangong Castle finally came out of the shadow of the bombardment, and every house lit lanterns. Some businesses also put out lantern riddles at the door, attracting people who watch the lanterns to guess the riddles and receive prizes.

Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan both carried their sons around their necks, accompanied Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xiaoping to wander around Nangong Street at will, admiring the various lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival in Nangong.

Zhang Hao, political commissar of the 129th Division, returned to Xi'an to recuperate due to illness, and Deng Xiaoping served as the political commissar of the 129th Division. As soon as he arrived at his post, he received an order from the central authorities asking the 129th Division to send troops to southern Hebei to take over the defense. Deng Xiaoping volunteered and personally led his troops to southern Hebei.

Nie Rongzhen was supposed to go to Jizhong to take over the defense, but after arriving in Jizhong, he learned that Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan had rushed back to Nangong, Nie Rongzhen missed his comrades-in-arms, and needed to go to southern Hebei to meet the reorganized troops in Jizhong, so he took a car all the way south and rushed to Nangong to meet Liu and Luo.
