Colonel Liu Xin walked into the war room excitedly and said to Yue Weihan: "The main seat, the forward position reports that the planes stationed at the airport in Dakou Village, Shimen, were hit by the destruction surname, two of them were directly destroyed, and the remaining forty-odd planes were barely lifted into the air, but after a few dives, they disintegrated one after another, and it seems that only two planes were spared. ”

"Okay." Liu Yi said, "After destroying the plane at Shimen Airport, the divisions will have no worries for the time being." ”

"Order all divisions to ......" Yue Weihan nodded and ordered, "It is necessary to break through the outer defense line of the Yue Army within half an hour and advance the battle line to Shimen City." ”

Liu Yi thought for a while, and suddenly asked Yue Weihan: "Boss, do you think it is possible for this old devil Okamura Ningji to go crazy?" In case this old devil is as crazy as Tada Jun and bombs Shimen indiscriminately, then the four main divisions of our 39th Group Army and the tens of thousands of people in Shimen City will have to give the little devil's 28th Division a funeral! ”

"Okamura Ninji must have thought in his heart!" Yue Weihan said abruptly, "But he doesn't dare to do this!" ”

"Yes." Liu Yi nodded, and said thoughtfully, "If Okamura Ningji really wants to order the destruction of Shimen, it may not be able to severely damage our 39th Group Army, but it will definitely cause heavy casualties to the innocent people in Shimen City, then the 'pro-China' image he has worked so hard to establish before will be ruined, and his 'Huairou' policy will be bankrupt." ”

Yue Weihan nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "That's right, if we can really crush Okamura Ningji's 'Huairou' policy, it will be worth some sacrifices for us." ”

Yue Weihan's words are not nonsense, as a traverser, no one knows better than him how powerful Okamura Ningji is!

Okamura Ninji's series of policies of "Huairou," "encroachment," and "cage" are really not boastful, and these tactics are really too powerful in dividing and disintegrating China's resistance forces, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is almost insoluble, even if "land reform," a weapon of great destruction that transcends the times, is equally difficult to use before the Eighth Route Army does not have sufficient military strength.

If the sacrifice of the 39th Group Army can be exchanged for the bankruptcy of Okamura Ningji's China policy, Yue Weihan will never be stingy!

However, Yue Weihan also knew in his heart that Okamura Ninji was by no means comparable to the idiot of Tada Jun, and he would never do such a foolish act of killing chickens and taking eggs.

………… Eastern suburbs of Beiping, Cuimingzhuang.

Major General Hirata Masatsu, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, hurriedly walked into Okamura Ninji's office, and immediately immediately retracted his feet and reported to Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, commander, the aviation scouts report that the strongholds and artillery towers along the nearly 200-kilometer line of the Pinghan Railway have been destroyed from Dingxian in the north to Xingtai in the south!" ”

"What!?" Okamura Ninji suddenly sat up from his chair when he heard this.

Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake, the chief of staff next to him, also looked back at Hirata's judgment, his face full of disbelief.

The Pinghan Railway starts from Dingxian County in the north and reaches Xingtai in the south, and there are more than 200 strongholds of all sizes along the nearly 200 kilometers, at least more than 1,000 artillery towers and pillboxes.

"Hirata-kun." Moritake Tanabe froze and asked, "You're not mistaken, are you?" ”

"Hello." Hirata Masaki bowed his head abruptly and said, "The news has been verified, and it's absolutely true!" ”

"Hiss......" Tanabe Shengwu suddenly gasped, and Huo Ran looked back at Okamura Ningji.

Okamura Ninji frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the six patrols sent out by the 3rd Brigade Mixed Formation?" ”

"The collective jade has been shattered!" Hirata Masaki sighed, "The aviation scouts of the 4th Flying Regiment found a lot of wreckage of combat vehicles and armored cars destroyed by the Tuba Road on the roads along the railway. ”

"Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns?" Okamura Ninji said coldly, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Hirata Masashi was speechless, and he also felt that it was impossible for the Tsuchihachi Road to have a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

Large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery is actually a cannon, taking a 75-caliber cannon as an example, it weighs at least three or four tons, and it is huge, and the logistics support requirements are extremely high. And how to maneuver? How to hide? Obviously, this conjecture is absolutely untenable.

"It's puzzling." Tanabe Moritake muttered, "Could it be that Hachichi invented some new weapons?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not the Eighth Road, but the 39th Army!" Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice, "It seems that the machinery and equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal that disappeared from Shimen Station last year were not destroyed, but were transported by the 39th Group Army into Jingcheng Pass. ”

"If that's the case......" Tanabe Moritake said in shock, "then Shimen will be in danger." ”

Hirata said puzzledly: "If Yue Weihan has really come up with any new weapons, then why did he send these new weapons to Tubalu?" Why didn't Yue Weihan use these new weapons to attack Shimen directly? Why did he bother to make a 'Tumen Mutiny' and make the problem so complicated? ”

"Tricky?" Tanabe Moritake shook his head and said, "No, this is not a trick. ”

After saying this, Tanabe Moritake said again: "If Yue Weihan's 39th Group Army directly attacks Shimen, then we can quickly mobilize troops through the Pinghan Railway, and it will take time for the four divisions directly under the Front Army to assemble, but the 27th Division of the Fourth Army Corps is in a state of combat readiness at any time, and it can rush from Beiping to Shimen within four hours." ”

"The 27th Division may not be enough to defeat the 39th Army, but it is more than enough to hold them back."

"As long as the 27th Division holds the 39th Group Army for two to three days, the four divisions directly under the Front Army can complete the encirclement of the 39th Group Army, then the 39th Group Army will be doomed! With Yue Weihan's tactical judgment ability, it was impossible for him not to see that the arrangement of the imperial army in Shimen was a trap at all. ”

"So Yue Weihan carefully planned the 'Tumen Mutiny', first luring the Eighth Route Army to cut off the Pinghan Railway!"

Speaking of this, Tanabe Moritake looked at Okamura Ningji again, and then said: "So Your Excellency the Commander will do everything he can and weave a big net, trying to use the strongholds along the Shimen and Pinghan railways as bait to wipe out Yue Weihan's 39th Group Army, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force in southern Hebei!" ”

"It's a shame." Okamura Ningji shook his head and said a little gloomily, "My plan is bankrupt, I thought of all the disadvantages I could think of, but I didn't expect that Yue Weihan could come up with a new weapon that could change the situation of the war, and now, the Pinghan Railway has been completely destroyed, and Shimen and several county towns along the railway have become dead chess......"

"Your Excellency, Commander, don't be discouraged." Tanabe Mori Takeshi said, "The stone gate has not been lost, and the situation is still promising." ”

"Even if the stone gate is not guaranteed, the imperial army may not be unable to save the situation." An inexplicable fierce light suddenly flashed in Hirata's eyes, and then he said in a cruel voice, "Your Excellency Commander, why don't you order the Aviation Regiment to carry out a destructive bombing of Shimen City?" Even if the 28th Division is difficult to preserve, it is necessary to let the entire 39th Group Army compensate for them! ”

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji was furious when he heard this, and slapped Hirata Masato twice in a row.

Hirata is sentenced to turn his head "Hayi" on the left and "Hayi" on the right, and he was slapped twice but still stalked his neck.

"Rat-eyed." Okamura Ninji slapped Hirata twice in a row, and the anger in his chest gradually subsided, and he immediately turned around and walked away.

Colonel Liu Xin entered the war room again and said to Yue Weihan: "General, at 8:05 a.m., the 6th Regiment of the Baoshan Division first broke through to the western area of Shimen, and at 8:15, the 1st Regiment of the 181st Division also broke through to the northern area of Shimen, however, the attack of the 1st Regiment of the Baoshan Division on the airport in Dakou Village was not smooth, and several attacks were broken up by the army, and the casualties have exceeded 500 people!" ”

"Good!" Liu Yi said happily, "Our army has finally broken into the city, even if the little devils transfer planes from Beiping, Baoding, and Jinan airports, they can only catch the blind, they can't even blow us up with the devils, hehe, what kind of fame is Du Xuewen, can't take down an airport?" ”

Colonel Liu Xin said: "Counselor, Commander Du reported that the Dakou Village Airport has a tunnel that connects with the city, and at the time of the most intense attack, there were about one infantry brigade of devil soldiers and at least one regiment of puppet troops suddenly appeared at the Dakou Village Airport, and now the 1st Regiment has fallen into disadvantage in terms of strength, but Commander Du said that the airport must be taken before noon." ”

"What do you see?" Liu Yi looked back at Yue Weihan, "Do you want to send reinforcements to Du Xuewen?" ”

"Du Xuewen is a good seedling, he can fight, and he can lead troops!" Yue Weihan muttered, "Let him try again." ”

Liu Yi immediately said to Liu Xin: "Liu Xin, immediately send a telegram to Du Xuewen, let him use his brains more and fight more skillful battles!" ”

Liu Xin agreed to take the order, and Liu Yi said to Yue Weihan again: "General seat, the bait of the Pinghan Railway has been eaten by the Eighth Route Army, and Shimen is estimated to be soon, just rely on the 28th Infantry Wing of the 112th Division to stay in Shimen, and it can be cleared without waiting for dark, Okamura Ningji has no bait, how can he still fish?" Is it time to report to Yucheng? ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Chief of Staff, this is just a small victory, and it is not worth being too happy." After saying this, Yue Weihan said again, "What's more, the war is not over yet, let's report the victory after clearing the remnants of the enemy in Shimen City." ”
