Chapter 1071: The Japanese army retreats

In fact, even if the Japanese army is now equipped with Zero fighters, it is not an opponent of the Falcon Flying Regiment, which is equipped with advanced German fighters, because the current BF109 fighters are all designed and improved by Qiao Youhua, and many of their performance are even better than in history.

In fact, even in the original history, the Zero fighter could not beat the BF-109 fighter of the Germans.

The result of the air battle made the Devil Navy understand a truth, the heavy loss four days ago was not accidental, even if their sea-based aviation was prepared, it may not be able to stop these advanced equipment of the China Army Air Force.

At most, it can buy a little more time for the evacuation of naval ships, and in the end, there will be less battle damage, and the entire naval fleet will still be heavily damaged.

As a result, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy said that they would not take any more risks to meet the tens of thousands of other Japanese troops on the Shandong Peninsula, because they were worried that the warships sent over would be attacked by the Dragon's Tooth Column, and that would outweigh the losses.

As a last resort, the Japanese base camp had to be ordered by the War Department that all the Japanese troops on the Shandong Peninsula retreat in the direction of Xuzhou, join the defenders of Xuzhou, retreat south along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, and withdraw to Nanjing.

This means that the devils in Shandong and northern Jiangsu must march thousands of miles south on foot, crossing the New Fourth Army and the country? The army's layers of resistance and retreat to Nanjing were no less difficult than the Red Army's Long March.

Especially under the premise that the Dragon's Tooth Column now has an air force, the Air Force of the Dragon's Tooth Column can carry out air strikes against the Japanese troops heading south at any time. However, the Japanese army could not stay away from the railways and highways, and chose sparsely populated mountainous areas and rural areas with inconvenient transportation to march their troops, because wherever was the territory of the vast guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, they belonged to the invaders, and there would be no civilian support to help them.

If it is bitten by the Dragon's Tooth Column and hundreds of thousands of Central Army and Eighth Route Army, then what awaits these Japanese troops can only be the annihilation of the whole army.

At this time, Ishihara Waner, who had already returned to China on a navy ship for medical treatment, was filled with grief and indignation and angrily accused the navy of making such a stupid decision regardless of the lives and deaths of his compatriots, but his anger did not change the decision of the Japanese authorities.

Two days later, the Longya Column marched in three directions, with a total of more than 200,000 troops, respectively captured Yantai, Qingdao and other places, and Li Yunlong of the South Road led 60,000 troops to surround Xuzhou City, directly cutting off the Japanese army's southward escape.

At this time, the Japanese army had already taken the initiative to abandon Yantai and Qingdao, and was retreating along the railway line towards the Xuzhou side of the Cang Queen, behind them was a pursuit corps composed of more than 100,000 dragon tooth columns and the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why Ma Biao and Wu Ming recovered most of the Jiaodong Peninsula such as Qingdao and Yantai so easily was mainly because after the devils withdrew, the puppet army did not have any sense of resistance at all.

Therefore, they were able to quickly pull out, almost following the devils out of the Jiaodong Peninsula, pursuing all the way, and finally encircled the Japanese army with Li Yunlong's troops in the area between Rizhao and Xuzhou.

Qiao Youhua had finished drawing drawings at this time, returned to Jinan from the base camp in the base area, and after meeting with Zuo Quan, he learned about the latest battle situation, and immediately ordered Ma Biao and Wu Ming to intensify the attack on the Japanese army, and at the same time dispatched the Falcon Flying Regiment to carry out a series of air raids on the Japanese army in the encirclement.

In the end, nearly 60,000 Japanese troops were wiped out under the combined ground-air fire of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Subsequently, the Japanese army in Xuzhou desperately broke through the resistance of Li Yunlong's department and broke through from Xuzhou to the south, but was attacked by the joint attack of the first and third theaters in the Xiangshan area, and was finally wiped out, so that the entire Jiaodong Peninsula and even the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu were all wiped out by the Chinese army.

After more than four years of falling to Shandong, northern Jiangsu was finally recovered and returned to the embrace of the motherland.

After successfully recovering Shandong and northern Jiangsu, Qiao Youhua asked the head of the headquarters to let the Longya Column rest for a while, so that he could go back to build a base area, because the Air Force has it, but there is no processing plant for related supporting parts, weapons, ammunition and oil.

You can't rely on imports for everything, right? Not to mention the price, it is also very troublesome, and the most important thing is to be controlled by others, if the Germans do not cooperate with them one day, won't their own air force fighters soon become a pile of scrap metal?

Therefore, we must strike while the iron is hot and establish our own military industrial system, and only with a complete industrial foundation can we not be controlled by others, develop rapidly, and strengthen the army and the country.

The head of the headquarters considered that the Dragon Tooth Column had indeed fought in the north and south for so many years, so he agreed to Qiao Youhua's request.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also temporarily stopped their strategic offensives, but stopped to rest and reorganize their existing troops and consolidate their existing territory.

However, the Central Army of the Third Theater and the First Theater did not seem idle, and with a great victory, they swept all the Japanese theaters in the three provinces of Henan, Anhui and Suzhou along the Jinpu Railway, and pointed their troops directly at Nanjing, the national capital at that time.

Qiao Youhua handed over the military aircraft matter to Zuo Quan and others, and quietly returned to the base area with the guard regiment, summoned Adru, and discussed with him the establishment of an oil refinery and an aircraft ammunition production plant for the Dragon's Tooth Column.

After bargaining and persuasion, Qiao Youhua finally flickered the production technology and related equipment of BF109, and obtained the promise of the Germans that in the next one to two years, he would assist the Longya Column to establish a complete aircraft factory, oil refinery, ammunition processing plant and a series of supporting facilities for aircraft.

At the cost, Qiao Youhua needed to provide the Germans with the design drawings of two more tank tanks and aircraft to ensure that the German army would have an absolute lead in future battles.

Of course, the design drawings could not be drawn up in a moment, as long as Qiao Youhua delivered the goods before the completion of the factory built with the help of the Germans.

Therefore, in the next period of time, the location of the arsenal of the Dragon's Tooth Column was expanded again, and new factories were built in full swing.

After three months of conquest, the state led by Chairman Chiang? The army finally cleared all the Japanese troops north of the Yangtze River, and several theaters with a large number of elite troops, such as the 9th Theater, also began to counterattack Wuhan and other hinterlands of the Central Plains.

The Japanese army had long been determined to shrink towards the eastern coastal area, so it did not seriously resist in Wuhan. The army did not pay much to recover most of the region, including Hubei and Hunan.

The Japanese occupation area quickly retreated to the area south of the Yangtze River in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the Liangguang region in the southwest and the Qiongzhou Island area.

Compared with the situation when most of China fell to the enemy, the current anti-Japanese situation is very good.
