Chapter 650: Okamura Ninji's Determination

The Air Force of the Independent Division wiped out all the winged guys of the Japanese army in North China in one fell swoop, and Tang Qiuli held a celebration banquet in Huiquanlou, the most famous restaurant in Jinan, which was naturally full of singing and laughing, and Tang Qiuli believed that the value of this meal was more than that, and the pilots who had been rewarded both spiritually and materially did not make enough effort to find trouble with the Japanese, which was better than mobilizing before the war a hundred times.

It was only on the morning of the next day that Okamura Ninji received the news that the Dispatch Army Air Force had almost completely wiped out, and the garrison commanders of Peiping and Tianjin discussed almost all night how to tell him in the most euphemistic tone the news that was enough to cause His Excellency the Commander of the Dispatch Army to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.

The result of the discussion overnight was the telegram in Okamura Ninji's hand, "Your Excellency, yesterday morning, between 8 and 10 o'clock, our Beiping and Tianjin airports were suddenly attacked by the China Air Force, all the airport facilities were destroyed, and the ground crews were all in pieces, and within a year, there was no hope of resuming use, according to statistics, all the bombers and bombers at the Beiping airfield had taken off to carry out your task of blocking the supply lines of the Independent Division, and the losses were also quite huge. The rest landed at Jinzhou Airport, and all the planes in Tianjin Airport were destroyed, and the details are under investigation, so we will report later."

Okamura Ningji's head "boom", the cold wind in the spring of North China made him fight a cold war, it was all over, the air force he had worked hard to build up was all destroyed in one morning, after reading this telegram with confusing logic, Okamura Ningji felt that the blood rushed straight to his head, and he kept scolding "Baga, Baga" in his mouth He couldn't understand, the planes in Beiping were already in the sky, how could there be huge losses, the number of planes owned by the independent division, he knew very well, but there were only more than forty planes, The Imperial Army's aerial eagles alone have more than 120 fighters in Beiping, how can they suffer?

He really couldn't understand it, and the garrison commanders of Beiping and Tianjin couldn't understand it, one hundred and two to forty, how could they suffer a loss and almost wipe out the whole army, in fact, they guessed wrong, it was one hundred and two to eight, but no matter how much Okamura Ningji wanted to break his head, he couldn't guess that Tang Qiuli had made an auxiliary fuel tank that came out more than ten years in advance, and the reason for this was that only the lucky ones among the Japanese pilots who fled to Jinzhou Airport knew in their hearts that their planes ran out of fuel.

When I flew to Jinzhou Airport, I had already glided and landed, and more than 30 planes fell, as for those who flew and fell, I don't know how many of them fell to the ground, Le Yiqin guessed correctly, the Japanese pilots who could step on the ground alive were only more than 20 people, and they also flew the "Zero" fighter, the plane of the Zhina people, why did they hold on for so long? This incident made the entire Japanese aviation community depressed and vowed to find the reason, but until the defeat of the war, it was not understood.

The Japanese couldn't figure it out, so they were smart enough to figure it out on their own, didn't they just let the plane stay in the sky for a little longer? In the Pacific theater in the future, the "Zero" was beaten to the ground by the US "P-51" Mustang fighters; perhaps, it was the hidden bane of this incident, and the initiator Tang Qiuli, who did not know the mystery of it, inadvertently helped the Yankees.

Okamura Ningci is angry, his heart is beating faster, even if he cuts off the heads of those two fools, it will not help, the things in the sky, the people on the ground have no way to control it, and they have paid such a big price, if they don't destroy this place called Huangya Cave to the ground, Okamura Ningji will never withdraw his troops, here, it is Tang Qiuli's fate, only by destroying Huangya Cave, Tang Qiuli's supply center, can the war situation in North China be fundamentally improved.

The large corps of battles, the amount of materials and ammunition consumed is amazing, Okamura Ningji, who is good at this, of course understands the key, why did Tang Qiuli fight with more than 100,000 people at every turn, and cut off the main artery of the independent division, but he can rely on the Pingjin area, and the supply is convenient, when the time comes, look for its main force to fight a decisive battle, and the thing that the devil has in his hands has to be obediently spit out, this is the only reason why Okamura Ningji must find the supply base of the independent division and do everything possible to destroy it.

It is good to say that Okamura Ningji has grasped the key point of the war situation in North China, or to say that he is stubborn and has fallen into a blind spot in his thinking, in a word, Okamura Ningji will not withdraw his troops from the Taihang Mountains if he does not swallow this piece of meat in his mouth, even if Tang Qiuli beats his ass to pieces in Shijiazhuang, as for Tang Qiuli has a supply base for the troops, far away in Dingbian in northern Shaanxi, the air force that was originally counted on now does not exist, and can only be discussed in the long run.

The Huangyadong base was discovered by the Japanese army, purely accidental, the battle for the periphery of Shijiazhuang, the battle was intractable, Tang Qiusheng Sulu Mobile Corps plus the four brigades of Feng Jiwu assigned to him more than 100,000 troops, the ammunition consumed every day alone is an astonishing amount, and most of the logistics ammunition factories of the independent division are located in Huangyadong, which is also out of consideration for the convenience of supply.

Nearly 100 trucks enter and exit every day, and despite the secret passage, they also unknowingly leave an obvious new road outside, and a search team of the Japanese army swayed to this vicinity like a big luck, and found traces of a large number of vehicles moving, and immediately became as excited as a male dog.

The captain of the Japanese army who led the team was very smart, and the traces of the car appeared in the deep mountains, which was not normal in itself, and this was the location of the supply base of the Chinese army that the boss had repeatedly emphasized, and searched for it in the mountains along the rut prints, and I didn't know how many ravines and mountains he had turned, but fortunately he had a compass, so he did not lose his way, fed the wild wolves, and climbed a mountain beam with zigzags, these 30 or so Japanese soldiers were so tired that they stuck out their tongues and sat down on the ground.

Go down the mountain beam, it is a long valley, the good luck of the Japanese soldiers ends here, here is the core area of the Yellow Cliff Cave, but more than ten kilometers away, it is the first line of defense of the Yellow Cliff Cave base, a company of the Yellow Cliff Cave Garrison Brigade Jiang Yanming Department, is responsible for the defense task, the Japanese soldiers show their heads in the valley, the hidden sentry immediately sounds the alarm, and before they understand what is happening, traps, hidden weapons and the like, they can be vigorously greeted to the body, without a single shot, more than 30 Japanese soldiers, All of them were wrapped in dumplings.

The company commander took the soldiers, and after disposing of the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, they were all restored to their original state, and did not report the battle to the Huangyadong garrison headquarters, and eliminated more than 30 people, such a result, it is not worth showing off, and this matter was put aside, don't you know, the Japanese army's various search squads are all in accordance with the area divided on the map, to carry out the search mission, in the words of Okamura Ningji, every stone and every tree in the Taihang Mountains must be touched.

In addition, each search team carried a radio station, and within the specified time, it must contact the superiors, otherwise, it would be regarded as an accident, and a search team would be sent again, and this was the case, two days later, another Japanese search team disappeared in this area, and two search teams were missing in succession, which could not but attract the attention of the Japanese commander.

He ordered several search teams in the nearby area to concentrate on searching this area, and the secret could no longer be hidden, although several Japanese search teams were all killed by Lisuo, or the radio carried by the Japanese army, sent out information, this information only had time to knock a few times, and the Japanese radio operator who sent the report was blown into pieces by the grenade.

The four words, "have been discovered", are enough, and the commander of the Japanese search unit who learned the news, if he found a treasure, immediately sent the information to Okamura Ninji, who was looking forward to the blue eyes, Okamura Ninji was overjoyed, and muttered a Chinese idiom "Hard work pays off" Of course, it was said in their bird language.

The battle that occurred on the first cordon on the periphery of the Huangyadong base was reported to Chang Feng, chief of staff of the independent division and commander-in-chief of the Huangyadong garrison headquarters, at this time, five days have passed since the first battle, Chang Feng was furious, and the company commander was removed from his post and sent to the military justice department, and then, to all the troops of the base, a battle alarm was issued, and the Japanese detachments touched here one after another, Chang Feng knew very well that the veil of secrecy in Huangya Cave would soon be unraveled, and what would follow would be a difficult defense battle. Okamura Ninji will definitely not let go of this worthy goal.

However, Chang Feng was not prepared to be beaten passively, and the troops scattered to the various defensive points were all withdrawn into strong fortifications, concentrated their forces to defend the third line of defense, and put a reinforced regiment of troops on the periphery as a countermeasure, and he still hoped that the Japanese army would not find out here, although this was a luxury.

Okamura Ningji, who smelled the fishy smell, immediately ordered a brigade near Huangya Cave to immediately attack, and mobilized nearby troops to move closer to Huangya Cave, a brigade of more than 10,000 Japanese troops, approaching the periphery of Huangya Cave overnight, with a cavalry brigade in the front, countless infantry in the middle, and a wing carrying heavy artillery, followed closely, a group of wolves pounced on it, and the trucks ran out of the road, which became the transportation route of the Japanese army's heavy equipment troops.

Neither Okamura Ninji nor the commander of the Japanese brigade took the garrison strength of Huangyadong in his eyes, a logistics supply base, how many troops can be there, at best one or two regiments, the imperial army has a whole brigade, Okamura Ninji is going to attack with heavy troops, and the order he issued is "three lights", burn, kill, and rob, and use this as a standard to check the combat results of the troops.

How did they know that the Huangyadong base was Tang Qiuli's lifeblood, and they had already taken precautions and taken precautions, and placed two field brigades in Huangyadong, a garrison brigade with nearly 40,000 troops, and more than 50,000 recruits from the independent division training headquarters who were trained here, adding up to more than 100,000 people, and sent their own chief of staff to command them in a unified manner.

Okamura Ningji despised the garrison of Huangya Cave, the solid reinforced concrete permanent fortifications and firepower points, and it was no wonder that he did not suffer a loss, and hurriedly sent over more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers.
