Tumen Fortress, the main bunker of Hug Calf Mountain.

Due to a bad mood, Yue Weihan did not stay in Shimen for long, and after a short period of condolences to the front-line soldiers, Yue Weihan returned to Tumen Fortress overnight accompanied by Liu Yi.

In the headquarters on the second basement floor, Yue Weihan was discussing the battle situation with Liu Yi.

Liu Yi took the command pole and explained to Yue Weihan on the sand table: "General, intelligence shows that the 5th Division of the Chinese Army is moving south along the Pinghan Railway, and the 10th Division is moving westward along the Shiji Highway. ”

It really made Okamura Ningji right, the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army are indeed not ready to expand the results of the battle.

It's not that the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army don't want to, but they don't have enough ammunition to supply, the first batch of rockets produced has almost all been fought, and the ammunition produced by the Taihang Arsenal working overtime is almost exhausted.

What's more, Yue Weihan's purpose in launching this campaign is nothing more than two, one is to make Okamura Ningji suffer a small loss, and the second is to take the opportunity to train troops in actual combat, and now these two goals have been achieved, and the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army have reaped a lot of benefits from this campaign, so let's accept it when they see it.

"Let Zhao Xinyi hurry up and organize more transport teams to come over, all the materials that can be used must be transported back to the base area, and not a single silk nail can be left for the little devil." Yue Weihan thought for a moment and then said, "In addition, after all divisions withdraw to their base areas, they must do a good job of summing up the work and solve the problems that have been exposed in this battle through training, and in the next one to two years, our group army will not have such a large-scale opportunity for actual combat training." ”

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded, deeply convinced.

Liu Yi thought for a while, and then said, "As for the Eighth Route Army, should I explain it to them?" ”

Although this Tumen mutiny was a scam planned by Yue Weihan, Liu Yi's previous detention of [***] party members was true, and Liu Yi seemed to give them an explanation.

"I don't need to explain." Yue Weihan said, "Give the Eighth Route Army some weapons and ammunition, it can be regarded as an apology." ”

Liu Yi nodded silently, he is also a smart person, he understood Yue Weihan's attitude at once, it seems that the general seat does not intend to follow the orders of the Military Commission to eliminate [***] party members, but this is also in line with Liu Yi's mind, Liu Yi was born in the Northeast military department, he has no good feelings for the Kuomintang, and he has no bad feelings towards [***], he fully supports Yue Weihan's decision.

As for the previous incident of detaining [***] party members, Liu Yi was completely out of the consideration of stabilizing the internal situation of the 39th Group Army, and there was no political inclination or personal emotion in the middle.

As he was talking, Colonel Ma Zhankui, the chief of operations, walked into the war room with a black face.

"The main seat." Colonel Ma Zhankui stood upright, meticulously saluted Yue Weihan, and reported, "Ma Hansan, the head of the Beiping Station of the Military Unification Bureau, sent a secret telegram, claiming that Okamura Ningji had just issued an order to relocate the headquarters of the North China Front Army from Beiping to Shimen, and the headquarters of the Fourth Army Corps would also be moved from Baoding to Zhengding!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi said awe-inspiringly, "Okamura Ning is going to move the headquarters to Shimen!?" ”

Yue Weihan pursed his lips and said abruptly: "This old devil really has the demeanor of a general." ”

"Boss, this is not good news for our 39th Group Army." Liu Yi said in a deep voice, "Okamura Ningji moved the commander of the North China Front to Shimen, obviously targeting our 39th Group Army, which means that the combat focus of the North China Front has shifted, and the little devil is going to do something against our Jingcheng base area!" ”

"Not necessarily." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "However, this old devil Okamura is indeed here for us. ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan asked Ma Zhankui again: "Zhankui, will Nanzao Yunzi follow Okamura Ningji to Shimen?" ”

"No, it won't." Ma Zhankui said with great certainty, "Nanzao Yunzi is still the head of the secret service of the Yue Army in Beiping, and Okamura Ningji gave her a three-month vacation. ”

"So?" Yue Weihan couldn't help frowning.

If Nanzo Yunzi can't follow Okamura Ninji, then her role will be greatly reduced.

However, even without the help of Nanzao Yunzi, Yue Weihan was also confident that he would defeat Okamura Ninji, and it was already early June 1939, and in these three months, Germany would have a full-scale invasion of Poland, and World War II would officially begin, and in two and a half years, the United States would also join the world war.

At that time, a large number of elite soldiers in the North China Battlefield will be transferred to the Pacific Theater.

Therefore, as long as the 39th Group Army survives this time, it will be a smooth road in the future!

This is the advantage of the traverser, Yue Weihan is very clear about the trend of history, said that the war will inevitably be defeated, China will inevitably win, the only thing Yue Weihan needs to do is to try to improve this process, so that the Chinese people will suffer less, so that post-war China can grab as many benefits as possible, not to mention anything else, war reparations are necessary, and garrisoning troops in Yueben is also necessary!

………… In early June of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), with the approval of the base camp of the Yue Army, General Okamura Ningji, commander of the North China Front Army, moved the headquarters of the Front Army from Beiping to Shimen, in order to show his determination to resolutely eliminate the Chinese 39th Group Army and completely correct the public security situation in North China.

………… In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since Okamura Ninji moved his headquarters to Shimen.

The time has quietly come to the beginning of August of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), at this time Europe is already full of war clouds, and the ambitions of the Third German Reich have long been revealed, but Britain and France are still burying their heads in the sand like ostriches, turning a blind eye to Hitler's inflated ambition to choose a surname.

At this time, the Konoe Bunma cabinet was busy repairing the national economy, which was close to collapse.

In the past two years, in order to support a large-scale war against China, the national and financial resources of the political axe have been exhausted, and the national economy has been on the verge of collapse.

Especially in North China, Okamura Ningji, his "Huairou" policy has achieved great results!

After consolidating the rule of the security zone through the "Huairou" policy, Okamura Ninji turned his target to the quasi-security zone, that is, the guerrilla zone of [***] and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, but at this time, most of the guerrillas of [***] had openly surrendered and transformed into a puppet army, and only the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were still fighting alone.

Okamura Ninji's strategy for dealing with quasi-security zones (guerrilla zones) was slightly different from that of the security zones, in that the tactics of the security zones were "Huairou", while the tactics of the quasi-security zones were "encroachment", that is, through the tactics of pillboxes, they would advance step by step, gradually encroaching on the guerrilla zones of the Eighth Route Army, and finally advancing the battle line to the periphery of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

The key area of Okamura's "encroachment" policy is southern Hebei!

In the past two months, Okamura Ninji has recruited hundreds of thousands of people through the method of "work for relief", and has almost completely restored the Pinghan Railway, which was previously attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and rebuilt the strongholds, turrets, and blockade ditch defense systems along the railway, and rebuilt the turrets and pillboxes, all of which have been reinforced to more than one meter!

Although the Eighth Route Army has been equipped with a small number of 90 rocket launchers manufactured by the Taihang Arsenal, it is a pity that the rockets fired by the 90 rocket launchers are no longer enough to pose a threat to the reinforced strongholds and artillery towers of the Yue Army.

However, the secrets of the bazooka are finally and inevitably revealed.

………… The western suburbs of Shimen, the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Major General Hirata Masashi hurriedly walked into Okamura Ninji's office, and immediately retracted his feet and said, "Your Excellency Commander, Mr. Murata, an expert in weapons, has returned. ”

"Oh?" Okamura Ninji said happily, "Quickly invite Mr. Murata in." ”

"Hello." Hirata Masashi bowed his head suddenly, and immediately went with his saber on his shoulder.

In less than a moment, Hirata Masaki led another officer in the field.

The officer was none other than Taro Murata, an expert in weapons that had just been sent from the country by the base camp of the army, and Taro Murata took two steps forward and immediately straightened his feet, and saluted Okamura Ninji: "Your Excellency, Commander." ”

Okamura Ninji waved his hand and asked in a harmonious voice, "Murata-kun, have you had any results from your research?" ”

"Hello." Murata Osa bowed his head abruptly and said, "Your Excellency, in the past two months, I have witnessed the use of new weapons by the Chinese army on the front line more than a dozen times, and now it is basically certain that the so-called new weapons of the Chinese army are not large-caliber combat defense artillery, let alone cannons, but should be a variant of rocket artillery!" ”

"A variant of rocket artillery!?" Okamura Ninji couldn't help but frown.

In fact, rocket artillery has already appeared, and the army also has equipment, but there are not many of them, but the rocket artillery is all vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers, and the requirements for logistics support are extremely high, and the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army obviously do not have such logistics support capabilities, so Okamura Ninji is very skeptical of Murata Daisa's conclusion.

Murata Daisa did not have any scruples because of Okamura Ninji's doubts, and continued: "Your Excellency, the rocket artillery used by the Chinese army is fundamentally different from the rocket artillery equipped by the imperial army, the rocket artillery of the imperial army is a vehicle-mounted multi-barrel heavy rocket, while the Chinese army uses a portable single-barrel rocket launcher!" ”

"Well, man-portable MLRS!?" Okamura Ninji suddenly realized.

As mentioned earlier, the bazooka is based on the development of rocket artillery, and there is no too complicated technology, so Murata Daisa only witnessed the launch of a few bazookas, and he mastered all the secrets, although Okamura Ninji is not an expert in weapons, but Murata Daisa's words, he immediately understood.

At that moment, Okamura Ninji asked eagerly: "Murata-kun, can the empire produce in large quantities?" ”

"Of course." Murata Osa said without thinking, "With the industrial manufacturing capacity of the empire, tens of thousands of bazookas can be produced in a short period of time to equip the troops, but this should be an excellent individual anti-tank weapon, which poses no threat to the backward Chinese army, but is used to deal with the Soviet tank group, and the power is huge." ”
