Chapter 478: Success

On the same day, the Japanese army's Xinzhou and Shuozhou airfields were also devastated, and more than 30 planes were all destroyed on the ground.

"In one day, the empire lost 63 planes of all kinds and destroyed countless materials, which is actually the biggest loss since the imperial air regiment attacked China!"

When Terauchi Shouichi took the train directly to Taiyuan with a blue face, the person in charge of Taiyuan Airport had already died in the bombing, and a Zhongzuo and a large Zuo at the airports in Shuozhou and Xinzhou were seppuku respectively.

"Your Excellency Zhaoyue, we must use the fastest speed to mobilize enough aircraft to replenish Shanxi, otherwise, the lack of firepower in the air will directly affect the operation on the ground."

Nishio Shouzo looked at Akitsuki Gomori with a not very good face, although the plane was destroyed by the enemy air force, as the commander of the ground forces, he did not need to bear much responsibility. However, in one day, more than 60 aircraft were lost, and even several fierce air battles could not have lost so much. More than 60 planes were enough to affect their plan to further pursue and retreat to the main force of the Jinsui army in the mountainous area of Jinnan. What is even more difficult is that at this time, the Northwest Army was able to go out with a bomber group of such a scale and attack the three major airfields of Taiyuan, Shuozhou, and Xinzhou in one day. And such a number of Japanese planes, as well as a large number of pilots, were directly killed on the ground. In the case of their heavy losses, it is only a question whether they can maintain Shanxi's air supremacy in the future, and there is no doubt that with the success of the first wave of air raids, the Northwest Army will inevitably take advantage of the serious losses of their planes to further intensify its air strikes. The Japanese troops in Shanxi would be directly exposed to enemy aerial fire.

"I have asked His Excellency Tokugawa of the First Air Regiment for urgent guidance, but the Battle of Shijiazhuang is now at its most critical stage. The strength of the Northwest Air Force in China over there was not weak. The empire though suppressed the enemy. But that doesn't completely stop their counterattacks. For the time being, unless it is the Kwantung Army, or there are a large number of reinforcements on the mainland, it may be necessary to overcome the immediate difficulties in a short time. ”

Terutsuki Wusheng's face was solemn, as an air force commander, he understood better than Terauchi Shouichi and Nishio Shouzo that the current Provisional Air Corps was facing in Shanxi

"Yaga, yours, what do you want to do?" Several Japanese ronins saw the national * army horizontal knife standing in front of the factory gate when the brigade stepped on. Look at these enemy soldiers with a fierce face. But it is not difficult for those with vicious eyes to see a trace of panic hidden under the fierce looks of these ronins. The more than 20,000 Japanese expatriates in Qingdao have almost been evacuated. More than 200 factories in Qingdao have also moved away, but there are a lot of equipment in the factory, and some people in Japan were also in a wait-and-see attitude before, and these arrogant Japanese did not believe that the people of China, who had been only to them, would dare to destroy their factories, so there were only about 100 people who really moved away completely, and there were still nearly half of the machinery that had not been evacuated. The Japanese left only a handful of people to take care of the factory. The gamble is that Shen Honglie did not dare to order the destruction of the factory, but at this time, Shen Honglie carried out the order of the scorched earth war of resistance under the repeated urging of Nanjing, of course, there is also a part of the reason why the northwest is promoting.

"What? Ganni old mother, take them all. Resistant, shoot and kill! The officer who took the lead let out a loud shout. Carrying the pistol was a kick in the stomach of the ronin in front of him, and this kick used all his strength, and the kick was relieved.

With only a very small number of ronins, it is naturally impossible to stop the original Northeast Navy marines controlled by Shen Honglie. As the first explosion sounded, the explosions followed one after another, one after another, and a large number of factories and Japanese-style machinery that could not be moved away were blown up in the smoke of gunpowder, or directly buried by the collapsed factories.

"With the relatively limited number of troops in hand, he was able to maneuver with the Japanese army in Qingdao for nearly half a year, and he has not withdrawn from Qingdao until now, but he is really a talent. But it was pulled away by Nanjing, it's a pity, it's a pity. When he heard that Shen Honglie was evacuating south with his troops, Jiang Lilian shouted a few times of pity. In the Middle East Road War, the Northeast Army did not fight a few decent battles under the counteroffensive of the Soviet army, but Shen Honglie was quite successful, in the Battle of Tongjiang, Shen Honglie achieved major results with an absolutely inferior naval force, if it were not for the absolute superiority of the Soviet Air Force, at least the battle on the river, the Soviet side suffered a greater loss.

"It's hard to have both loyalty and righteousness. Shen Honglie is still not bad, when Chairman Jiang put the young marshal under house arrest, Shen Honglie can still actively run for the young marshal. Since ancient times, it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for his gang of mixed navy to go inland to fight the Japanese army. Feng Zhanhai shook his head and sighed.

"Withdraw to the south, so you don't have to fight the Japanese on the ground? With the warships that Nanjing now controls, it is not enough to deliver food to the Japanese army. Jiang Li shook his head helplessly, the tonnage of dozens of battleships combined was not as large as the average battleship of the United Fleet. The entire Nanjing Air Force is tied together is not enough for the Navy to fight, and Shen Honglie's men may still have a glimmer of life on the shore, but when they get to the sea, the ending is sad to think about. However, since Zhang Xueliang entered the customs, the Northeast Navy, which had spent extremely money, naturally couldn't afford it, that is, relying on Nanjing's help, Shen Honglie was able to barely maintain it until now. Therefore, Shen Honglie and some naval officers are also grateful to Nanjing.

"Don't mention these things, since Shandong is now facing Nanjing, it is up to them. Has our equipment been shipped from Tacheng? ”

"It's already shipped." It was Gao Zhihang who answered the question.

Jiang Li turned his face, only to see Tibetan Yi and Gao Zhihang enter the door one after the other, both of them had a hint of joy on their faces, it seemed that they had talked when they went upstairs just now, and there was obviously some good news.

"The military situation is urgent, let me say it first, the counterattack plan was initially successful, this time our army only lost 6 bombers, compared with the results of this battle, it can be said that the results are quite rich, the number of Japanese enemy planes destroyed, according to the reports of the pilots who participated in the bombing, there are at least fifty or sixty, and a large amount of ammunition and fuel at the Japanese airfield were destroyed. Without these planes, at least for a month or two, there is no need to worry too much about the Shanxi problem. "Gao Zhi Fairway.

"Surprise, attack unprepared, this battle is well done. After knocking out so many Japanese planes and extending the oil mine, Xi'an was relatively safer. Feng Zhanhai excitedly said, compared with the army's achievements, the results achieved by the air force at this time are more gratifying, in fact, the gap between the northwest and the Japanese army at this time is mainly due to the relative lack of air firepower, which makes the ground forces face greater pressure. However, the Northwest Air Force succeeded in bombing several times under the powerful enemy, so that the losses of the Japanese army far exceeded those in the northwest. This is tantamount to a booster for the War of Resistance at this time. After all, the Japanese army lost the absolute superiority of the aircraft, and the tanks could not achieve absolute superiority in the battle with the northwest, and the Japanese army was just a mortal body.

"Our industry is not as large as Japan's, and we have to make up for it in other ways. If this exchange ratio can be maintained, why not defeat the Japanese army. (To be continued.) )
