Chapter 283 Reactions of All Parties (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
(PS: The 1,850th vote plus more!) Keep asking for support! )
Compared with Yan'an, which had just experienced the bombing at this moment, a solemn burial ceremony was being prepared to commemorate the sacrificed officers and soldiers of the air defense battalion. The commander of the aviation unit who was waiting at the Shijiazhuang airport had the urge to directly disembowel.
Even Shouichi Terauchi, who had been looking forward to the return of the bombing formation and bringing good news, saw the telegram handed over by Naosaburo Okabe with some nervous expressions. only scolded 'Eight Grid Tooth Road', and suddenly his face turned red and spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Looking at the commander, who has been in a hurry recently, and vomiting blood at this unfortunate news, Naosaburo Okabe seems to understand. Under this successive blows, it's no wonder that Shouichi Terauchi doesn't vomit blood!
'Orderly, call the medic quickly!' Your Excellency the Commander fainted! ’
Supporting Shouichi Terauchi, who fell directly, Naosaburo Okabe, as the chief of staff, also felt that the other party was very pitiful. Since they met the Eighth Route Army, their North China Front seems to have fallen into blood mold, and they have not heard any good news.
Nearly 100 bombers and fighters were dispatched from various airfields in North China. In the end, less than 20 bombers returned to Shijiazhuang Airport. The rest of the planes, hardly even thinking about how they ended.
For the loss of more than 70 aircraft, even if Terauchi Shouichi was the commander of the North China Front, he also needed to give an explanation to the army aviation side. More importantly, those cabinet members of the Army Headquarters will certainly not spare him easily.
After all, Okabe Naosaburo was well aware that for the Japanese army, these planes were precious. Even in this air raid, they also lost a batch of new bombers that had just been put into the Chinese battlefield!
As a result, these bombers, before they could play their role in Huaxia, were almost shot down by the other side. Such a defeat is that even the supporters of Shouichi Terauchi want to defend his rights. I'm afraid it's unlikely.
It's just that He Zhengdao, who is staying in Yan'an at the moment, also looks a little dignified when he receives a telegram from the Air Force Brigade. But he could only say: "Call back to the flying brigade and ask them to come to Yan'an by car tomorrow to participate in the burial ceremony of the martyrs."
In addition, I will report to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to recover the remains of the sacrificed pilots. As for the pilots who successfully parachuted. We will also do our best to rescue. At the same time, through the airport, air defense early warning has recently been carried out, and flight training has been suspended. ”
Of the 30 fighters that went into battle, only 16 returned to Yulin Airport. The remaining 14 fighters were unfortunately shot down and crashed while fighting Japanese bombers.
As for how many pilots will succeed in parachuting, we will have to wait for the news from the rescue force to know. When he personally took this telegram and showed it to Mao Taizu and others, these chiefs also felt distressed.
Even Mao Taizu couldn't help but say: "The right way, there will be no critical moment in the future." Do not send them into battle. These pilots are too important for our army. Even if they have a good record, we can't afford to lose, you know? ”
For such words, He Zhengdao nodded and smiled bitterly: "Chairman, if there is a choice, I don't want them to fight." But this time, we had no choice at all. If you don't teach the little devils a deep lesson, they won't relent.
The most important. These guys are holding back too hard, and they have been training hard in the flying team. But they all know that training is only for war. If they just practice and don't fight, they still have emotions. After this time, I believe they will understand the consequences of playing easily.
Secondly, I agree that the reason why they went to war is that they feel that they should give the people a little stimulation. Let them know. In China's airspace, we still have a certain combat effectiveness. The little devil is too rampant, and he also wants to make a big mistake! ”
After listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Mr. Zhu also nodded and said, "Yes!" Compared to the Central Army, the air force is larger and more complete than ours, but their air force. Many times, he is a turtle with a shrunken head, and he does not dare to take to the air to fight easily.
Although I can understand what they do, even if we are now. Compared to the little devil knocking out a plane, it won't be long before one can be replenished. We can't afford to lose one fight or one less fight.
However, it is not easy to save these belongings, so we still have to save some money. Wait for the power on and add ten more to the loss! In this case, I believe that Lao Jiang can rest assured that our air force will fight again! ”
As night fell, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army issued a telegram announcing to the whole country that a large-scale air raid organized by the Japanese army had been defeated. What even made many people unbelievable was the number of Japanese planes destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.
Twenty-four fighters, two reconnaissance aircraft, and nearly fifty bombers of various types. Such a record, not to mention that the Central Army felt that it was impossible when it received the telegram, and many warlords who received the news thought it was a joke.
When did the little devil's plane fight so well?
It's just that with the announcement of the wreckage of the little devil's plane one after another, and even the captured Japanese pilots have been exposed one after another. Lao Jiang, who confirmed the news, said in disbelief: "Their strength is really so strong?" ”
In the face of Lao Jiang's inquiry, Dai Li, who was in charge of intelligence work, nodded and smiled bitterly: "Headmaster, in fact, they will have such a record this time, and it is more due to the carelessness of the little devils." First use anti-aircraft fire to kill the little devil's escort fighters.
In the end, using the fighters they captured, they ended up hunting the bombers of the little devils. Chased all the way to the vicinity of Luliang, they also suffered heavy losses, but the bomber formation of the little devils was also hunted by them.
According to the information transmitted back from our Shaanxi intelligence station, the commander of this air battle does not seem to be Chen Geng but He Zhengdao. This person understands air force operations and is good at fighting ambush warfare. This time they were able to achieve such a victory, and this man is indebted.
However, at present, the news released by the Eighth Route Army only mentions the guard division and does not mention He Zhengdao. I also know that let He Zhengdao continue to be prosperous, I am afraid that the little devil will assassinate this person at all costs!
Even according to the information we got before, the Eighth Route Army robbed the Taiyuan Arsenal equipment disassembled by the Japanese army, which was the battle plan formulated by this person. It can be said that this person is currently playing a very huge role in the Eighth Route Army. ”
After some explanation, Lao Jiang's expression became gloomy again. Finally, he sighed and said: "It should be a great fortune for the country to have such a strong general." But he is a person over there, and if he is allowed to grow, sooner or later he will be a big trouble for the party and the country! ”
'What does the headmaster mean?' ’
'That's it! As for him, your intelligence department should put a little more effort into it, and it would be better to get some people to his side. At the moment we need a general who can fight, even if this person is from their side.
It's just that the little devils are in full swing now, and we can't do anything with them. However, in the previous Nanjing incident, countries around the world have already strongly condemned and criticized their atrocities, and they have not been rampant for long.
When the time comes, you must do everything you can to get rid of this person as soon as possible. You have to have a clear understanding of this. Make some preparations in advance, and you won't have to get rid of the tail end in the future! ’
Yes, students understand! ’
As long as it involves He Zhengdao's affairs, Lao Jiang will feel unhappy many times. But he already knew that in the current situation, he couldn't turn his face too quickly with the Eighth Route Army, and he also needed the other side to cooperate with them to fight the full-scale invasion of the Japanese army.
There is a person who can make the little devil unlucky, and Lao Jiang still thinks that it is better to keep it than to kill it. The most important thing is that if He Zhengdao is assassinated now, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army will completely turn against them, other warlords and citizens will despise him.
Another important reason is that the Eighth Route Army currently controls Shaanxi. If the Japanese army continues to move south, it will inevitably have a fierce confrontation with the Eighth Route Army. Lao Jiang, who moved his capital to Chongqing, also needed a solid barrier.
With the Eighth Route Army staying in Shaanxi, at least Sichuan will not have to worry about the danger of being attacked by the enemy. In addition, in the future when the Japanese army invades Henan, the Eighth Route Army should also be able to undertake some combat missions. He believes that on this point, Mao Taizu's thoughts are also the same as his.
Although the two parties are still fighting in private, they are very clear that if they do not work together to fight the Japanese army and continue to fight in this way, the final result will be that both parties will lose, and finally let the little devils take advantage.
Even if Lao Jiang didn't want to easily admit defeat or persuade soft, but the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has been going on so far, the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, he regarded it as the main force of the elite lineage, and he also suffered serious losses, and the Central Army could also be said to have suffered heavy losses.
At present, if you don't have to take into account the war in the north, the pressure on the central army that is sticking to the southwest and the Central Plains will actually be much less. It's just that for the rise of the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang feels that he still needs to be vigilant.
Itagaki Seishiro, who also paid attention to this air raid, also felt incredible that the air raid that mobilized the people ended up with such an ending. But more, it still makes him feel that the Eighth Route Army is too low-key and dangerous.
As the commander of the Shanxi Dispatch Army, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly felt that it was very dangerous to be a neighbor of the Eighth Route Army. Even after learning the news of the failure of the air raid, he immediately ordered all cities to prepare air defense responses.
But he didn't know at all that He Zhengdao had never thought of using the air force to retaliate against the air raid carried out by the North China Front. Unexpectedly, Shanxi, which finally quieted down, fell into a situation of flames again.
But if you don't teach a lesson, I believe that the little devils really have nothing to do with them when the Eighth Route Army takes them. In view of this situation, He Zhengdao quickly formulated a plan for retaliation, which was reviewed by the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
After reading the plan, Mr. Zhu also smiled and said, "Chairman, look at it!" I said, "This boy is a lord who will repay his eyes." The little devil sent so many planes to bomb our Yan'an this time, he will definitely find a way to retaliate. ”
On the other hand, Mao Taizu, who heard this, thought for a while and said, "The boss thinks, can this plan be approved?" ”
'I think so!' In these days, traitors are sometimes more hateful than little devils! ’
In a simple sentence, it seems to realize that next, the big traitors in North China will start to be careful about the heads on their necks! (To be continued.) )
