Shouichi in the temple and Tu Feiyuan played a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and Qin Wei and the others returned it to them.

Because the tricks of Terauchi Shouichi and Tsuchihara played well, the Kuomintang was caught off guard, so that the original offensive posture of the national army became a trouble, and they were too late to defend in a hurry, and suffered heavy losses. Under the First World War, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Nanchang and other places fell one after another, and the little advantage that the front-line soldiers barely earned after fighting for months was almost lost because of this mistake. And not only that, the Japanese army also seized the opportunity to counterattack in a big way, and its 11th Army even put on a posture of swallowing Hunan, wanting to swallow Changsha and other places in one bite. The Hunan garrison, under the leadership of Xue Yue, the provincial chairman and acting commander of the Ninth Theater, was fighting a hard battle with the enemy.

But the Japanese did not expect that the Chinese Air Force, which they had been worried about, would actually strike a black hand in the place where they were most unprepared.

Okabe Naosaburo was lucky to escape under the large-scale air raid of the Chinese Air Force, but the 26th Division and the 13th Cavalry Wing of the Mongolian Army under his leadership suffered heavy losses. That's not all, Fu Zuoyi, who has always put on a defensive posture, also suddenly launched an attack when Naosaburo Okabe was attacked...... The Mongolian garrison was defeated. Under the cover of his subordinates, Okabe Naosaburo desperately fled back to Baotou, but as soon as he walked into his headquarters in Baotou, Fu Zuoyi's pursuers also arrived. At this time, Baotou is extremely empty! Fu Zuoyi led the main force of the 35th Army under his command. As a result, after a fierce battle, Naosaburo Okabe was defeated again. Fu Zuoyi successfully recovered Baotou.

But that's just the beginning.

The Chinese Air Force once again attacked Guisui, Zhangjiakou, and Datong. Nearly 200 bombers bombed all the important Japanese strongholds almost day and night. Naosaburo Okabe and his troops stationed in Mongolia were stunned almost immediately. They did not understand why the Chinese Air Force would not attack the 11th Group Army that was attacking Changsha, the 20th Group Army in Guangzhou, the 13th Group Army in Shanghai, the 12th Group Army in Shandong, and the 1st Army in Taiyuan. But they didn't end the fight? Unfortunately, no one would answer their question, and in the face of the Mongolian garrison, which had almost no defensive strength, the Chinese air force attack was not much different from an outing to a park.

Naosaburo Okabe was so blown up that he couldn't cry anymore.

He didn't expect that the Chinese government would send the air force to Inner Mongolia to bully people.

But the problem is that people really hold their key points.

The Mongolian garrison had only one or two planes, and it was also the air force of the North China Front requisitioned in Beijing. In the face of the Chinese Air Force, which is almost pouring out, let alone fighting back, it is impossible to defend. But that's not all, every time the Chinese Air Force hits, Fu Zuoyi and some other Chinese troops can always cooperate with the fight. Especially that Fu Zuoyi, it doesn't count if he laid down Baotou. He actually began to show his fangs towards Guisui. It was the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was stationed in Taiyuan, and Tada, who had hurried back to Beijing from Henan, urgently dispatched troops to support Naosaburo Okabe. But the forces they can draw are extremely limited. Yan Xishan hiding in Linfen and Wei Lihuang hiding in Zhongtiao Mountain had a lot of movements, just waiting for the Japanese army in Taiyuan to go north, and immediately sent troops to recover the lost territory, in addition to the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi...... And North China. Tada, who had just taken over a large area of territory from the Kuomintang, did not dare to risk losing these areas again and rashly divided his troops, so he could only do the same as Yoshio Shinozuka. A small number of troops were sent to support the troops stationed in Mongolia. And in this way. Naosaburo Okabe could not cope with the fierce Chinese army, so he could only passively defensive. For a time, when the Japanese troops from all walks of life were triumphantly singing, the troops stationed in Mongolia fell into a precarious situation, and they could even be destroyed at any time.

*********************************************

"Terauchi Shouichi has no extra troops, and it is even more unlikely that the Kwantung Army will withdraw from the Far East in a happy manner...... Umezu Mijiro still doesn't have enough troops. ”

Chongqing.

There was a lot of laughter in the living room of the White Mansion.

From Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou and Chief of Staff Wang Shuming. To Chongqing Air Defense Commander Huang Bingheng is there. Several people were smiling, in stark contrast to the sadness of the outside world worrying that Changsha might fall at any time. But there's no reason for them to be upset. Although the Mongolian army stationed in Mongolia did not pose the most direct threat to Chongqing like the 11th Army in Wuhan and the 21st Army in Guangzhou, it posed the most direct threat to the Nationalist Government. But this unit is also extremely important in the sequence of the Japanese army. It was the most important component of connecting the Japanese army in North China with the Kwantung Army. Once hit hard. It became delusional for the Japanese to borrow land routes to transport various supplies to the northeast. And if the various units of the national army can be more powerful and directly attack Guisui, Zhangjiakou, and even Datong, it will pose a serious threat to the Japanese army in the entire North China, and at the same time, it will also form an offensive on the flank and rear of the Kwantung Army.

It can be said that this sortie of the Air Force helped the Nationalist Government to regain a certain advantage in its strategy against Japan, and it can be regarded as saving some face for Lao Chiang and the Nationalist Government.

"It's a pity, Terauchi Shouichi can't just watch us destroy Okabe Naosaburo. He will definitely try his best to transfer troops to support the troops stationed in Mongolia, and if necessary, he may even withdraw all the troops on the front line. Wang Shuming took a sip of Moutai and said.

"yes." Zhou Zhirou sighed: "The army stationed in Mongolia is different from other troops. Once wiped out by our army, the Japanese were cut off from each other inside and outside the Kansai. This is extremely detrimental to them. ”

"Isn't that what we're for?" Huang Bingheng said: "Attack in the north and force Terauchi Shouichi to withdraw his troops in the south." ”

"In fact, if you can't withdraw, Anan can't take advantage of it." Qin Wei's face was red, he had been poured a lot of wine just now, but his mind was still quite clear, "Don't look at them all the way forward, as if they can fight, but in fact, Yang Sen's group army just led them down from Yueyang." You see... Coming down from Yueyang, there are nearly 150 kilometers of railways, but there are four rivers crossing it. Xue Yue let Yang Sen arrange the chess formation with this terrain, from north to south, first the Xinqiang River, the south bank of the river is the first line of defense of Changsha, its front from the antlers to the wheat market, as wide as 100 kilometers, Xue Yue placed 7 divisions of heavy troops here, plus the guerrillas on the Mufu Mountain, there are as many as 100,000 people...... In this battle, the Japanese army was actually exhausted. ”

"But after all, the three divisions of Aoki, Kanda, and Toshima have all arrived at Changsha City." Huang Bingheng said, "This is not like being under Nanchang City. Dozens of divisions surrounded Okamura Ninji's three divisions, and there was also our air force on top to help. Xue Yue sang a one-man show this time. ”

"Yes, Janssen has already withdrawn to rest. Although there are still some defenders in Changsha City, they may be able to hold out for a while, but if they want to repel this Japanese army...... I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? Wang Shuming also said.

"The current situation is as follows: the Aoki Division has reached Yong'an City east of Changsha, the Kanda Division has reached the eastern suburb of Lishi, and the Toshima Division has reached Dongshan near the southeastern suburbs, preparing to besiege Changsha from the east, north, and south. And the second-line corps of the Japanese army, namely the Chishang Brigade, the Outer Circle Detachment, the Yuanze Detachment and the Noguchi Detachment, respectively reached the area north of the Miluo River and are continuing to advance south......" Zhou Zhirou saw that Qin Wei was a little overwhelmed, so he took the initiative to stand up: "It seems that the Japanese can already prepare to conquer the siege of Changsha. But you don't understand Xue Yue's purpose. This guy wants to use the battlefield centered on Changsha as a natural giant furnace to gather and annihilate the Japanese army, and the Yang Sen Group Army has already led the Japanese army into the heavenly furnace in the Xinqiang River, and the rest is just to start a war and bake the Japanese on the stove. ”

"Is this okay?" It was the first time that Huang Bingheng heard the plan for the Changsha operation, and after thinking about it carefully, his face was a little unpleasant: "It is good to bake the Japanese army on the stove, but it requires firepower from all sides. Moreover, once the Japanese army conquered Changsha before the outlying parts of our army achieved results...... This battle is lost! ”

"That's right." Qin Wei burped, "So, Xue Yue won't move if he stays in Changsha!" Win or die......"

"Shall we make a move, then?" Wang Shuming said in a deep voice. Although they had long thought that Changsha might be lost, after all, their strategic purpose had been achieved. Fu Zuoyi and others are attacking in the north, and the prospects are good no matter how you look at them. Therefore, I am not so worried about Changsha. Even if the Japanese defeated it, the 100,000-strong army was nearby, and as soon as the Japanese withdrew to the north and fought back, he didn't believe how many more people Shouichi in the temple could turn out. But if Xue Yue has to defend Changsha this time, the problem will be serious. Not to mention how important the position of chairman of Hunan Province and acting commander of the Ninth Theater is, Xue Yue himself is a rare famous general in the national government, and his value is not smaller than a Changsha city, and may even be greater.

"Rest assured. If necessary, the people around Xue Yue will knock him out. Qin Wei smiled, "He can't die." ”

"It's good if you can't die." Huang Bingheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he became nervous again: "But if Xue Yue is defeated, he will definitely find someone to be angry...... Our air force hasn't been dispatched this time. Maybe you'll be the target of your anger. There will definitely be people out there who will accuse us of avoiding strong enemies. ”

"Afraid of strong enemies? Who doesn't shy away from strong enemies? Qin Wei was suddenly annoyed: "If we can, let's fight with an enemy who is stronger than us?" If you say it well, it's tragic, and if you say it badly, you're stupid...... I don't want to fight someone weaker than me, huh? ”

“…… But this is not good to say after all. "yes, who wouldn't want to fight someone weaker than themselves? Qin Wei's words made Huang Bingheng and others agree with it very much. But the reality is extremely sad. Because now it is the Japanese who are bullying those who are weaker than themselves, and they belong to the "weak" who is being bullied.

"If it doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good. We can't let our pilots die...... Shouichi Terauchi and Dohihara played Lao Tzu once, and do you want to play again? When Lao Tzu didn't know that their 'Zero' plane was already waiting in Wuhan? I bought a watch last year! How can it be so easy for someone who wants to bully me? Pilots don't want money, huh? ”

Qin Wei scolded, but he didn't notice that Zhou Zhirou and the others were stunned after hearing his words.

"I ...... Bought a watch last year? ”

Zhou Zhirou and the others looked at each other...... What does that mean? Secret words? (To be continued......)
