Wang Laohu didn't know that one of their rocket artillery attacks completely destroyed the Japanese army at the airport in Jinan. A squadron of heavy bombers, two squadrons of light bombers, two squadrons of fighters, and a squadron of reconnaissance planes on the apron of the airport were all destroyed, aviation ammunition and gasoline barrels were destroyed, the towers and communications facilities of the airport were all destroyed, the ground staff of the airport were completely dead, and the entire Zhangzhuang Airport was filled with huge craters except for the wreckage and charred corpses, and even the air was filled with a stench of burnt corpses.

Such a big movement had already alarmed the commander of the 12th Army in Jinan City, Iida Sadagu, and the chief of staff, Kobayashi Asaburo. The two old devils drove to the airport, and the scene in front of them made people want to vomit.

Iida Sadagu's face was so angry that he was deformed, his eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and said to Kobayashi Asaburo: "The Eighth Route Army is too murderous. Seventy-two warplanes! How long does it take to produce? If this continues, the domestic rice price may rise again! 1, Iida Zhengu is worthy of being a senior general of the Japanese army, a Jinan airport was destroyed, he can associate it with the rise in domestic rice prices, it seems that the senior generals of the Japanese army are not all a group of brave men who only know how to fight, and they also know the relationship between war and people's livelihood.

Kobayashi Asaburo and Iida Sadagu had similar feelings, because he was also well aware of the domestic production and economic situation in Japan, and he also heard that the Abe cabinet was going to issue a price limit order to implement public prices for brown rice and other commodities, which would inevitably exacerbate inflation, and if it didn't work, the Abe cabinet would collapse.

Kobayashi Asaburo also knew that due to inflation, there was a shortage of materials, which had affected the war against China. Just like the last time the Eighth Route Army wiped out the main force of the rebuilt 10th Division in Fei County, according to the convention, the Japanese planes are going to carry out crazy retaliation, and I am afraid that they will bomb villages, market towns, and county towns together.

But the Japanese did not do this, only bombing key targets. The same is true of this heavy sweep, although the Japanese aircraft group bombed wildly, the intensity was greatly reduced compared with the previous two. There was no other reason for this, and the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, could not get so many aerial bombs, so he had to save them.

Fortunately, since it was evening, the pilots who had been on a combat mission for a day went back to their dormitories to rest after dinner, and when they saw the attack on the airfield, they quickly took refuge, and the losses were not great. The losses of anti-aircraft units, including the Gongwei airfield, were also not very large.

The captain of the airport garrison brigade, who was lucky enough to pick up his life in the bunker outside the airport, reported the disaster to the commander and chief of staff, and led Iida Sadagu and Kobayashi Asaburo to search south with flashlights to personally find the hidden location of the Eighth Route Army. After tossing for a long time, he didn't find the hidden location of the Eighth Route Army, and even the nose of the military dog seemed to be out of order, barking in place, but he couldn't find the direction of pursuit.

Iida Sadagu couldn't figure out what kind of artillery the Eighth Route Army used to attack the airport, how it was able to transport the artillery to the vicinity of the airport, and why there was no movement or wind in advance. You must know that he has a very tight grasp of the garrison of Zhangzhuang Airport and has specially strengthened the air defense forces. After thousands of calculations, it was not calculated that the Eighth Route Army would be able to transport artillery to the airport for an ambush and attack.

In addition, it was the first day of heavy encirclement and suppression, and the fighters did not advance to the hangar after returning to the airport, preparing to take off early tomorrow morning for operation, who knew that the Eighth Route Army seized the opportunity to cause such heavy losses.

Unable to figure it out, Iida asked the captain of the airport garrison brigade to write a written report, apologize for the crime, and order the gendarmerie to make every effort to investigate and arrest the murderers who sabotaged the airport.

Kobayashi Asaburo had been dealing with the Eighth Route Army for longer than Iida Sadagu, and immediately realized that this was the elite team of the Eighth Route Army that had made trouble in Jinan City again, and hurriedly suggested to Iida Sadagu: "Your Excellency Commander, I feel that the Eighth Route Army's attack on the airport this time is similar to the attack on the airport last time when the heavy troops encircled and suppressed, it should be that the hidden elite team of the Eighth Route Army has come to Jinan again, maybe their den is in Jinan City." It is necessary to immediately carry out a large-scale search and arrest of all suspicious elements in Jinan to prevent an even greater tragedy from occurring. "Although Iida Sadagu arrived in Jinan for a shorter time than Kobayashi Asaburo, he knew about the elite team of the Eighth Route Army disguising the transportation team of the Fifth Division to make trouble in Jinan City and execute Ma Liang. 1【、

As soon as Hayashi Asaburo reminded him, Iida Sadagu realized the danger and couldn't care about the destruction anymore, so he hurriedly returned to the headquarters and ordered martial law throughout the city to search for suspicious elements.

After dealing with all this, Iida Sadagu reported to the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, about the destruction of Zhangzhuang Airport.

As soon as Iida Zhengu put down the telegram, he received a report from the Xuzhou garrison that the Luozhishan Airport and Guanyinshan Airport had been attacked by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army, and the fuel and aerial bombs at the airport were detonated, resulting in the destruction of all the fighters.

Iida Sadagu was completely mad, and sent a telegram to the Xuzhou garrison and the 114th Division stationed in Xuzhou, and ordered the officers who were responsible for the airport garrison to apologize, search the whole city of Xuzhou under martial law, arrest all capable elements, and make sure that the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army did not slip through the net.

Of course, Iida Zhengu did not know that it was the Second Special Operations Squadron and the Upper Special Operations Squadron led by Li Lingfeng, commander of the Eighth Route Army's special operations, that attacked the two airfields in Xuzhou, and that they also carried out long-range rocket artillery strikes. However, the Japanese puppet army in Xuzhou was more tightly defended, and Li Lingfeng and his men did not get as close to the airport as Wang Laohu's No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, but opened fire at a distance of six or seven kilometers from the airport. If it weren't for the large coverage of the rocket artillery and the detonation of aerial bombs and aviation gasoline barrels on the airport, perhaps the results of the battle would have been greatly reduced.

Iida Sadagu had to report to Tada Jun again that Xuzhou Guanyinshan Airport and Luoluoshan Airport were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, in the war room of the headquarters of the North China Front, Tada Jun was sitting precariously with no expression on his thin face, listening to Deputy Chief of Staff Hirata Masatsu's report on the progress of various units over the past day.

After Hirata's report, Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke turned his body to Tada, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the progress of the troops today, our attack has received the effect of a sudden blow. In the southeastern Shandong and Suzhou-Anhui regions, the resistance of the Eighth Route Army was the most resolute, and it should have been that we hit Liu Yimin's vital point. The Eighth Route Army in the western direction of Lu resisted step by step, and there was an attempt to lure the Imperial Army into being deceived: the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei direction resisted resolutely, and there seemed to be signs of covering the retreat. In the Jiaodong area, there were no large forces of the Eighth Route Army, and they were all militias and local armed forces who used mine arrays to block and delay the attack of the imperial army. Is it possible to imagine that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong has been transferred by Liu Yimin to Lunan to participate in the Lunan operation, causing the hinterland of Jiaodong to be empty? If this is the case, the Jiaodong troops should be ordered to speed up their movements, quickly sweep away Jiaodong, and then move south to fight. 1, Yoshizumi Ryosuke is worthy of being an old devil who has been the commander of the Ninth Division, and he can see at once that there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong area.

Tada Jun felt that Yoshizumi Ryosuke said the truth, and asked, "What is Liu Yimin doing today?"

What's new? 1，

Rata reported that he had received a press release from Liu Yimin's ministry this morning, which stated that the Eighth Route Army insisted on uniting in the War of Resistance against Japan and negotiating with Shen Congzhou, commander of the Kuomintang Second Security Division in the Tengxian area, in the spirit of uniting to resist Japan and uniting with the outside world. This shows that at least as of press time, Liu Yimin has not discovered the actions of the imperial army.

Tada Jun snorted, thought about it for a while, and said: "Now Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang are in conflict, and China is facing the possibility of civil war. Liu Yimin likes to participate in political disputes in China, and he went to negotiate with Shen Congzhou at this time, which should be to show a political attitude, that is, to unite in the War of Resistance and not to fight in civil war. This Liu Yimin is really an important enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, and he wants to stop the civil strife! Who is Shen Congzhou? Is there any information about him? 1, Hirata Masashi reported that Shen Congzhou was just a guerrilla force in the Tengxian area, hiding in the mountainous area in the northeast of Tengxian County, and also causing trouble for the imperial army, but it was not very harmful, and I don't know when he became the commander of the Second Security Division.

The Japanese puppet regime in Lunan has been destroyed, and it is already very inappropriate for Hirata Masashi to have such information.

Tada Jun nodded, and said: "**, Liu Yimin wants to unite with the Kuomintang to resist the war, we want them to split, turn against each other, and fight a civil war." At present, there are the Kuomintang's Sulu Theater, the Shandong Provincial Government, the Shandong Provincial Security Command, and the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region on the ground in Shandong. We've got to give them a little more motivation to fight the civil war.

Let the pen troops take action, seize the opportunity of the contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, and seize the opportunity of the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang troops in Shandong, and try by all means to create false information and expand their contradictions. All units were ordered to pay attention to forcing the Kuomintang troops in the Sulu Theater and Jicha Theater to surrender in the course of offensive operations, so that they could accept the reorganization and serve the imperial army, cooperate with the imperial army to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, and maintain law and order. Using China to contain China is our fundamental measure to resolve the incident in China, and all units must implement it. 1，

Hirata listened respectfully, his hand still writing in the notebook, and after Tada Jun finished speaking, he also finished recording.

Tada Jun turned to Yoshizumi Ryosuke again: "Chief of Staff, it seems that Liu Yimin's main force is still in the Lunan Plain area, and he is busy consolidating the Lunan region. If so, we will have a great harvest from this operation. The armies of southern Hebei and Luxi should be ordered to speed up and quickly encircle Luxi,

The main force of the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei region was wiped out. The Fifth Division and the Second Brigade of the 1st Guards Division were ordered to block the passage for the 8th Route Army in the Jiaodong area to flee to central and southern Shandong and the 8th Route Army in southeastern Shandong to reinforce Jiaodong. This time, it is necessary to completely turn Jiaodong into the rear of the imperial army. 1, Tada Jun was about to continue to instruct, but the combat staff officer interrupted his train of thought and reported that he had received a report from Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu that Jinan Airport and Xuzhou Airport had been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

Tada Jun stood up suddenly, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "Baga!" 1，！。
