Chapter 476 Taiyuan

Wow, wow

The footsteps of the brigade sounded at the Lanzhou airport.

"Everyone, I'm waiting for you to come back here, if you can't come back, after a hundred years, let's meet again in the martyrs' cemetery!" Gao Zhihang raised his arm and saluted the group of pilots in front of him.

"See you at the Martyrs' Cemetery!" All the pilots solemnly returned the military salute at the same time!

"Okay, get on board!" With Gao Zhihang's order, the pilots of the brigade rushed to their seats, and one plane after another soared into the sky, most of these planes were medium-range bombers purchased from the Soviet Union, and there were also a small number of improved Zephyr-2 dive bombers produced in the northwest.

"A group of 8 squadrons, I believe that this time the Japanese army will pay a heavy price." Ge Shiying watched these pilots board the plane one by one with his hands behind his back, and the small black dots in the sky continued to sweep into the sky in the form of detachments until they disappeared into invisibility.

"Compared with the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, it is only a fraction of the time at the moment. One day, the aircraft group of our Northwest Army will appear in the skies over Tokyo sooner or later. Even a soldier like Gao Zhihang, who is a plain and quiet soldier, hates the atrocities of the Japanese army to the core.

"There will be this day."

"Zhina, it's not without talent." Nishio Shouzo stepped on the cold and stiff ground, saw the already empty factory area, and was slightly surprised, although the Japanese also had spies in Shanxi, but they didn't know the whole situation of the Taiyuan Arsenal very well, and at this time, seeing the various heavy machinery that Taiyuan was not backward for Japan, he couldn't help but smile on his face, "But the people of China are good at infighting, although Yan Xishan is the best among the people of China." There is no escape from this curse. It's so big. If a third, or even a quarter, of the provinces could do what Shanxi did, the imperial army would certainly not be able to set foot in the land of China. ”

"Yes, if there are more such arsenals for the Chinese people, even if the empire comes in, it will inevitably pay even heavier losses. The northwest moved the original Fengtian Arsenal away, so that it could have the current climate and become a big problem for the empire. ”

Peer leader Lai Wuping does not agree with Nishio Shouzo's statement. But he can only echo it, after all, the level difference between the two is huge, the Japanese army suffered a lot of losses in Xinkou and Taiyuan, there were more than 40,000 casualties in Xinkou, and more than 15,000 casualties in Taiyuan.

"How's the situation at the Arsenal? How much equipment did Yan Xishan dismantle? Nishio asked.

"Most of the machinery on the side of the arsenal did not move, and the Jin Sui army under Yan Xishan only had time to dismantle less than two percent. The rest of the equipment was left behind before it could be destroyed, and the Empire only needed to invest enough manpower. You can get this small arsenal back into operation. Chang Lai Wuping also asked the technician, and the answer was clear-eyed.

Nishio Shouzo casually glanced at the factory area, basically the equipment was not dismantled, and the following people did not lie and falsely reported. However, when he heard what Changlai Wuping said, Nishio Shouzo showed a helpless smile on his face, and manpower was what they lacked the most. It's a pity that when Yan Xishan withdrew, all the technicians and workers of the Taiyuan Arsenal had been withdrawn. It was impossible for Japan to mobilize such a large number of technicians and workers from its own territory all the way to Taiyuan. After all, Japan is also very short of talents in the military industry, and it is difficult to leave the homeland. Besides, it is too dangerous to let those valuable military talents come to Taiyuan. Besides, in this aspect, they can't compete with the Kwantung Army.

"Tighten the guard here, don't make any trouble." After Nishio Shouzo roughly inspected the factory, he admonished.

"Your Excellency Commander, now that the Zhina Army has been driven out of Taiyuan, and our set goal has been preliminarily completed, relying on that little remnant of the defeated general, does the Zhina Army still want to fight back to Taiyuan City?" Chang Lai Wuping was puzzled, if some small counties in the surrounding areas were conquered by the Japanese army, it was still possible to be recovered by the enemy's counteroffensive, but Taiyuan, where the Japanese army was heavily stationed, was already impregnable in the eyes of Chang Lai Wuping, and it was impossible for the enemy to succeed.

"It's not enough to call back to Taiyuan, but the military department has already called to dismantle the valuable equipment here and transport it back to the mainland as quickly as possible. Matsui Ishone, Prince Asaka has gone a little too far this time. You look at the open messages of the entire army in the northwest. Nishio Shouzo motioned to the staff officer next to him to send a telegram to Chang Lai Wuping.

"What? This, this Jiang Li really dares to brag, when he hits the Imperial Palace, he has the ability to rely on the Northwest Army? Chang Lai Wuping said disdainfully.

"What makes people jealous is not whether the Northwest Army has this ability, but the public opinion of the Northwest Army who have replaced the large army, the empire is not afraid of a decisive battle with the Northwest Army, but if the people of China really continue to fight with the empire, that is what the empire is really worried about." Nishio Shouzo said worriedly.

"Then destroy them, now that the empire has captured most of Hebei, as long as Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi are taken, the Chinese army has almost been completely pacified, and then the army will move westward to completely solve this biggest hidden danger." Chang Lai Wuping said with a fanatical expression.

"Destroy them? On the opposite side of us, there is the 18th Group Army sent out by the Northwest, and they ambushed a brigade at Pingxingguan before, and at least nearly 10,000 people were lost in the hands of the 18th Group Army in Xinkou. Nishio Shouzo glanced at Changlai Wuping coldly, "From the last Songhu War, to the later Great Wall War of Resistance, and then to several battles since last year, there are no less than dozens of senior generals who have fought against the Northwest Army of China, and few of them can achieve great results, do you think that you are much stronger than Kazuki Kiyoji, Gu Shoufu, and Yamashita Fengwen?" ”

"No, no, that's not what my subordinates meant." Chang Lai Wuping was shocked into a cold sweat, if he said this, he wouldn't want to mix in the military world in the future.

"Not the best." Nishio Shouzo snorted and brushed his sleeves away.

"What do you see, don't you hurry up and urge those despicable people to go to the factory to dismantle the machinery as soon as possible. If you are passive, you will be pulled out and killed! Not long after Nishio left, Changlai Wuping yelled at a few soldiers angrily.

"Hurry, hurry up, the imperial army has an order, no one is allowed to cheat, and these guys are dismantled as soon as possible!" Although there are countless soldiers on the front line who shed their blood, in the rear, there are also traitors of all sizes who emerge from time to time. (To be continued.) )
