With a stomach full of questions, Nakamoto Shengxiao led the group of planes that had finished the bomb and returned to the airport.

Before the photos were washed out, the Japanese aircraft group had already completed loading and refueling, and Nakamoto Shengxiao took off again and led the formation to fly south.

This time, Zhongyuan Shengxiao bombed the position of the Eighth Route Army in the south of Dexian County. As a result, there was not much difference between the position of the Eighth Route Army in the south of the city and the position in the north of the city, and it was also possible to clearly see the soldiers climbing in the trenches, and even the cars transporting the bombs. The Japanese aircraft group attacked the position of the Eighth Route Army in the north of Dexian County, concentrated on dropping bombs, diving and sweeping shè, and the battle was dusty. As a result, as during the bombing of the positions north of the city, effective anti-aircraft fire was still not organized on the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

After returning to the airport, Nakamoto Shengxiao did not rush to report the results of the battle, but asked for the photos of the first bombing that had just been developed, and it was not too troublesome to review them one by one.

This look found a problem, it turned out that Nakamoto Shengxiao found from a photo that the artillery on the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army that was blown up looked like charred wood.

Zhongyuan Shengxiao did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered a reconnaissance plane to fly to the bombing site to reconnoiter the situation again.

While waiting for the reconnaissance plane's report, Nakamoto Shengxiao walked around the house like a trapped beast with a photo, and kept thinking about whether the Eighth Route Army had camouflaged its position, and Yòu made itself a large-scale bombing group, consuming aviation bombs and fuel. Fortunately, the reconnaissance plane dispatched soon heard back, and the on-board radio reported to the airport that a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had been found on the position cleaning up the remains of the bombing. It is a pity that the two reconnaissance planes failed to fly back, and their reports were suddenly interrupted, and it was obvious that they were knocked down by the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhongyuan Shengxiao then remembered that the Eighth Route Army had dug tunnels in Hebei, Luxi, Jizhong, and southern Hebei. In addition, Nakamoto Moritaka also remembered that when he saw that several divisions of the northern front led by Naosaburo Gangbe to pursue the Eighth Route Army south of Dexian and west of the Yellow River, he wrote a report saying that the Eighth Route Army's positions were very advanced, and there were anti-artillery guns in the trenches that could evade shelling and bombardment.

Thinking of tunnels and anti-artillery dòng, Nakamoto Shengxiao no longer considered whether the Eighth Route Army was camouflaged or not, because it was common for the two armies to camouflage and conceal each other, and the Japanese army also set up wooden aircraft models at the airfield to confuse the Eighth Route Army! The most urgent task at the moment is to carry out another concentrated bombardment as soon as possible and plow the positions of the Eighth Route Army south and north of Dexian County like a plow. Tubalu must not have imagined that the imperial army would carry out repeated bombardments on the same area, and this time it will definitely be able to severely damage Tubalu.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhongyuan Sheng Xiaoxing boarded the plane again and rushed to Dexian.

This Zhongyuan Shengxiao didn't want to think about it, Dexian County was so far away from Beiping Nanyuan Airport, no matter how fast his plane was, could he still catch up with the radio waves? By the time his fleet arrived over Dexian, there was no one left on the Eighth Route Army's position, and only the scarecrows wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and the peasants of North China were left in the trenches.

This time, he was full of hope to take the Eighth Route Army by surprise, so he naturally struck more ruthlessly, not only leading a group of planes composed of planes from the airfields in the Pingjin area, but also reporting to Lieutenant General Kinoshita for his approval to order the carrier-based planes of Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Jinan airports and the Combined Fleet to dispatch to cooperate with him in bombing the positions of the Eighth Route Army in Dexian. Moreover, he ordered the aircraft group to drop all the bombs and bullets, and even if the Eighth Route Army was hiding in the trenches and anti-artillery dòng, they would all be blown up.

Zhongyuan Shengxiao was addicted to commanding a large group of planes to fight, and all the Japanese fighters in all directions pounced on Dexian, desperately splashing bullets on the empty positions of the Second and Sixth Brigades, blowing up the scarecrows in the trenches of the Eighth Route Army, and blowing up those wooden models into flames.

Liu Jianli and Zhang Hongtao saw the rampant scene of the Japanese machine from the telescope, and almost at the same time scolded "".

After scolding, the two of them laughed at the same time. Liu Jianli said: "The Japanese planes will bomb three more times tomorrow at most, and they will have to lie down obediently." This kind of large-scale bombing of aircraft groups is the most consumable bombing, and I judge that tomorrow the Japanese planes will bomb again will not be so large-scale. They have to think about saving bullets and supplementing them. It's still the division commander who is right, you have to use your brains to fight with xiǎo devils. How good is this, it doesn't take a single shot to consume so many bullets of the Japanese army. If Konoe Fumima knew the truth, I'm afraid he would be so distressed that he would cry. I have to send a report to the division commander, political commissar, chief of staff, and Director Cai as soon as possible, and I estimate that the division commander will definitely have new considerations after learning of this situation. ”

Zhang Hongtao smiled: "Establish, you are mistaken, Konoe Fumima has long since stepped down, and Japan does not have a new prime minister now." ”

When Liu Jianjian heard this, he remembered that he was really wrong, and he probably always remembered that Konoe Funma launched a full-scale war of aggression against China when he was the prime minister, and the account was settled on his head. Whatever, whoever becomes the prime minister of Japan is a bad guy, unless he stops the aggression and surrenders.

Liu Jianli and Zhang Hongtao immediately sent a telegram to Liu Yimin and others, reporting on the implementation of battlefield camouflage and large-scale air raids by the Japanese planes, and requesting instructions on the next specific combat action.

At this time, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong had formed a consensus to find another fighter, and had reported to Liu and Luo, but I don't know why Liu Yimin never called back.

Liu Yimin was also thinking about the battle situation on the northern front at this time.

In accordance with Shanshanyuan's order, the heavy army group of the Japanese army on the southern front stopped pursuing the cavalry brigade and began to retreat in the direction of Suxian early this morning, preparing to move north along the railway and highway in Suxian. However, the Japanese did not withdraw completely, after all, they reoccupied most of the Fuyang area, and had to leave their troops to defend. In the past, the 16th Division that remained in Suxian could have taken on this task. But now under the blows of the Eighth Route Army, where is the stable rear of the Japanese army? Moreover, this Fuyang area is close to the Dabie Mountains, but not only the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but also the army of the Fifth War Zone is hidden in the Dabie Mountains! Not to mention anything else, the famous Steel Seventh Army is not ambiguous at all when it comes to killing devils. If the Xiǎo devils did not leave troops to garrison, the Jinpu Road and the road from Heféi to Xuzhou would be exposed to the guns of the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the Fifth Theater Army, and the 16th Division would become a lone army again, and it was likely to become Liu Yimin's target again. Therefore, based on this consideration, the Japanese base camp had to order to leave the 6th Division behind and control the Fuyang area. Okabe Naosaburo led the Guards Division, the First Division, the Second Division, and the Fifth Division to return north and reinforce Dexian and Cangxian.

Of course, the 6th Division is the Japanese Army's Jīng Rui Field Division, and it is impossible to stay in the Fuyang area for a long time, including the 16th Division, and it is impossible to stay in Suxian for a long time, but now the Japanese Army has not formed a new garrison division or an independent mixed brigade, and these two field divisions have to temporarily serve as local garrisons.

This was the effect that Liu Yimin wanted, forcing the Japanese army to constantly divide its troops and turn the Japanese army's permanent divisions into local garrisons.

Liu Yimin knew that the Kwantung Army had been planning to attack the Soviet Union, and the history of the Battle of Nomén Kan also took place in May of this year.

Liu Yimin is a traverser who is very familiar with the history of World War II and beyond, especially after the great changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Chinese have been very rational in looking at history and relations between countries. It is precisely because of this that Liu Yimin said that the relationship between countries is an exchange of interests. The meaning of this is that in this world of weak and strong food, poverty must be beaten, backwardness must be beaten, and weak should be beaten. When the Japanese army launched the 918 incident, which of the heads of state of the world did not know that this was aggression, but which country really supported the Chinese and helped the Chinese to recover the northeast? Just like now, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has reached this time, and China needs the substantial support of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union the most, but the United States and Britain have not yet made substantial moves. Although the Soviet Union sent an air force to aid China and provided substantial assistance such as weapons and ammunition, why couldn't Stalin directly send troops to destroy the Kwantung Army by taking advantage of the Zhang Gufeng incident? If the Soviet Red Army could send troops to destroy the Kwantung Army at this time, then the Soviet Union would really become the benefactor of the Chinese people. Although at the time of the Zhang Gufeng incident, he made a statement and pointed out the strength of the Japanese army and the Korean army, Stalin still accepted it when he saw it. It shows that Stalin considered the problem completely from the standpoint of the Soviet Union, and only wanted to help China not be quickly defeated by the Japanese army, and hoped that China and Japan would be further weakened in the war to avoid the Soviet Union falling into a situation of fighting on two fronts.

Sometimes when I think about it, Liu Yimin feels that he may be thinking too much, the current life of the Soviet Union is not particularly easy, Stalin has just completed the Great Purge, and the combat effectiveness of the Red Army may be greatly reduced. Could Stalin try to avoid a direct war with the Japanese because of this?

Liu Yimin is not just crossing over now, and his current identity must consider some strategic issues. Thinking that the Soviet Union would join forces with Germany to carve up Poland and invade Finland next, Liu Yimin knew that Stalin did all this for the sake of Soviet security, and it was just a measure to delay the Soviet Union's aggression from Germany. For the sake of the Soviet Union, in Stalin's eyes, it is probably normal to sacrifice the interests of the Xiǎo country and the weak country.

Now that May is not far away, we can't drag down the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd Divisions because of our own special fights, so that they can't return to the northeast and affect the occurrence of the Battle of Noméncan. It would be a pity that such a beautiful historical event could not happen because of the reasons that I had crossed.

Since the Japanese army did not cooperate and stopped reinforcing Dexian, as analyzed by Cai Zhong, Liu Yimin lost interest in storming Dexian. It's just that Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong proposed to find another fighter, which made Liu Yimin think about it. This is easier said than done. Where to hit and how to hit it are all seriously considered.

Liu Yimin calculated and calculated, with the strength of the Second Brigade, the Sixth Brigade, the New Sixth Brigade, and the Luxi Garrison Brigade, plus the mobilization of the local armed forces in the Hebei and Lu borders and the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region, the Japanese puppet army in the central Hebei region could be repaired. It can also quickly go north to attack Tianjin or eastern Hebei to change the situation of the enemy in this area. It is also possible to concentrate all efforts to attack the Japanese army on Cangshi Road and Deshi Road, open up the connection between southern Hebei and central Hebei and Luxi and Hebei, and even threaten Pinghan Road by advancing westward.

However, if this is the case, it will be impossible for the Japanese 1st, 2nd, and 23rd Divisions to return to the northeast in the short term. If these three divisions could not return to the northeast, it would be impossible for the Kwantung Army to launch the Battle of Noménkan. Without the Battle of Nomén, the Japanese would not have chosen to move south on the question of whether to move north or south. If the Japanese army does not go south to launch the Pacific War, then the problem will be big, maybe the Japanese base camp will change the war policy, concentrate the main force of the Kwantung Army and the main force of the puppet Manchurian Army to fight in the pass, completely sweep the Dàng base area, and concentrate all forces against our army. It will even affect the post-war landscape in the future. As long as Japan does not start a war against Britain and the United States, even if Britain and the United States defeat Germany, Britain and the United States will not necessarily attack Japan. At that time, it will really be necessary to defeat the xiǎo devil with China's own strength. At worst, Britain and the United States will turn a blind eye to Japan's interests in China, pretending to be peaceful, and bī that China will recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo in exchange for Japan's withdrawal from Northern, Central, and Southern China. This kind of thing is entirely possible, not to mention Britain and the United States, Wang Jīngwei is this kind of idea, Chiang Kai-shek may not have this kind of thinking in his mind.

At lunchtime, Liu Yimin was still thinking about this problem.

Ni Hua saw Liu Yimin holding his rice bowl in a daze, so he said coquettishly: "What do you think? xiǎo heart chopsticks fell to the ground. ”

Liu Yimin came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just thinking about something." Hurry up and eat, you have to go to the hospital after eating! ”

As soon as Ni Hua was about to answer, he felt a wave of nausea, quickly put down his rice bowl, got up and retched.

Liu Yimin was full of war, and he didn't think about it so much, he just put down his rice bowl, walked over to beat Ni Hua's back, and asked her if she was uncomfortable eating something.

Ni Hua vomited for a while, and then he relieved himself and returned to the table to eat silently.

After Liu Yimin finished eating, he raised his leg to look at the map, but Ni Hua stopped him.

After all, Liu Yimin is the father of two children, and when he saw Ni Hua's shy and worried face, he immediately understood, and hurriedly walked over to stop Ni Hua into his arms, and asked softly when it happened? What do you want to eat?

Ni Hua whispered that she only reacted today, and she didn't know if she had it, so she would observe it for two days and see if it happened.

As soon as Liu Yimin heard this, he wanted to call Li Xiǎo Shuai to go to the hospital to find a Chinese medicine doctor to call the pulse. Ni Hua stopped him and asked him to stop being nervous, she is a doctor herself, where do you need others to come and see.

Liu Yimin laughed when he heard it, Ni Hua is not only a doctor, but also the leading doctor in the Eighth Route Army and even in the whole of China, how many soldiers have been saved with a scalpel, where do you need to find a doctor to show her!

Liu Yimin is too busy, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong are still waiting for him to call back, and they don't have time for Ni Huaqing. There was no way, he had to tell Ni Hua that when he came back in the evening, he would personally cook for his wife and ensure that it was delicious.

After returning to the war room of the temporary headquarters, Liu Yimin called Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong back, asking that the materials in the warehouse of the Japanese army in Cangxian County be transported tonight. The Luxi Garrison Brigade went south to Nanpi, occupied the county town of Nanpi, and further sabotaged the railway. The New Sixth Brigade sent a cavalry battalion and a reconnaissance company to reconnoiter the southern Jinnan area to create the false impression that our army would attack the Pingjin area in the north. The main force of the new Sixth Brigade withdrew from the county seat tonight, concentrated all efforts to eliminate the Han armed forces in the Cangxian area, and cooperated with the Cangxian county party committee and county brigade to develop grassroots political power and establish a militia organization. The 2nd Brigade and the 6th Brigade were not allowed to storm Dexian, of which the main force of the 6th Brigade was transferred to the Hebei and Lu borders, preparing to return to the base area to rest and recuperate, and the 2nd Brigade remained in the Dexian area to monitor the movements of the Japanese army in the north and south and the Japanese army in Dexian County. When the Japanese heavy army group arrived at Cangxian, our army must all evacuate the Jinpu Road, and the withdrawal should be clean and neat, leaving no traces. The main tasks of our army in the next step are to consolidate the base areas, develop the local armed forces, organize the masses to carry out chūn cultivation and production, carry out a cold-gun and cold-artillery campaign against the Japanese army, and defend the base areas with tunnel warfare and mine warfare. Before May, in principle, the Japanese army launched a major campaign. We must give the Japanese army the illusion that the main force of our army has completely withdrawn from the Cangxian and Dexian areas.

Zeng Zhongsheng, Cai Zhong, Liu Jianjian, Zhang Hongtao, Xu Shiyou, and Fu Zhuting were all looking forward to the division commander giving a high move, and then teaching the devil a hard lesson, but they didn't expect that Liu Yimin not only did not let Dexian be attacked, but also didn't even want to find another fighter to fight again. Several people couldn't figure it out, and soon after receiving the telegram, they called back to ask if they had made a mistake. Even Luo Ronghuan called back to ask what was going on, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to expand the results.

Liu Yimin patiently telegraphed them one by one, explaining that the purpose of our army's battle was to seize the Japanese army's supplies, mobilize the Japanese army, exhaust the Japanese army, force the Japanese army to constantly divide the troops, and avoid the Japanese army from forming a heavy army group. This battle is far from over, but our troops in Luxi and Jilu have completed their tasks and achieved their initial campaign objectives. The next combat missions are carried out by other units. We should give the base areas a time to resume and develop, and give the troops a time to rest, recuperate, replenish, and expand. In the next step, both Luxi and Jilubian should make efforts to expand the garrison units, and it should be no problem for them to expand their garrison regiments by three to six each, and they should pay close attention to expanding the army and training their troops, so that in the future it is necessary to create a situation in which the garrison units defend their homes and the main force carry out offensive operations.

Luo Ronghuan also telegraphed to Liu Yimin that he had received a telegram from Vice Chairman Zhou that Mr. Guo Moruo would lead a condolence group of writers, painters, and calligraphers to Shandong to express his condolences to the troops, and asked our army to take charge of the response.

Liu Yimin didn't know that this was a strategy discussed by Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, and felt that it was too risky to let these artists like national treasures come to condole now, so he telegraphed Luo Ronghuan, please report to Vice Chairman Zhou, thank you Mr. Guo Moruo and all gentlemen, and come back after the situation stabilizes. For the time being, it is advisable not to come
