Tada Jun couldn't wait for the Eighth Route Army to assemble for air transportation, and he wanted to retaliate now.

Zhongtiao Mountain won a great victory, killing 100,000 national troops in a battle; fought again to scare off the more than 200,000 troops of Hu Zongnan, known as Chiang Kai-shek's first protégé; He was planning to prepare for the third battle, take advantage of the victory to pursue, conquer Shaanxi in one fell swoop, open the gateway to Sichuan, and completely end the hope of the Chinese government to continue to resist, but he did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would actually break his chrysanthemum at this time.

It's so inhumane.

How much did Tada Jun want to ignore the chaos in the rear and move on, take Shaanxi, attack Sichuan, and then take Chongqing...... But he couldn't. Although most of the Imperial Japanese Army were beasts, they could not always sleep in the open. The materials needed for the war basically had to be transported from the rear to the front, and if he ignored the Eighth Route Army behind him, he would probably run out of ammunition before he reached Sichuan. At that time, let alone taking Chongqing, Hu Zongnan sent a security regiment to kill them all.

Retreat.

A quick retreat.

Zhengtai Road was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army? Then go while repairing. If you really can't do it, you will go around collecting horses and mules, and if you can't do it, you will use donkey carts. Anyway, no matter what, we have to rush back before the Eighth Route Army makes further moves, and we must let those dirt Eighth Route Army see the consequences of offending the Imperial Japanese Army. But Tada Jun, who was in a hurry to return to his teacher, forgot one sentence: It's easy to come, but it's hard to go!

……

"What do you say? Sakata United ......"

As the commander of the front army, of course, Tada Jun can't take a donkey cart or anything, he has a special train, and the layout is luxurious and comfortable. But his mood doesn't change for the better because of that.

"When the Bantian Wing was about to enter the Taihang Mountains, it was bombed by the Chinese Air Force. The other party is using ...... Napalm! Deputy Chief of Staff Muto Akira bowed his head and said.

"Napalm?"

Tada couldn't help but gasp. The name of napalm is now almost a household name. Everyone knows the power of this mass killing weapon from the Chinese Air Force. Once you get hit, you can even burn steel. Even if you just get splashed on your body, there is a high chance that you will lose your life.

"In order to deal with a Sakata United, they actually used napalm?"

"This is the report of the Sakata United, but the characteristics of napalm are very obvious. They certainly can't be mistaken. Muto Zhang said in a deep voice, "So we conclude that this is the beginning of the Chinese Air Force's official intervention in the war situation in North China, which also means that we are about to face not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the more cunning and unpredictable Qin Wei!" ”

"Qin Wei...... Isn't he here to kill me? A cold glint flashed in Tada's eyes. Qin Wei wanted to kill him, although he denied it afterwards, but he made a fuss with one sentence, which was enough to show Qin Wei's ability. To know Lu Dao, what many people were guessing at that time was not whether Qin Wei's words were true or false. It's how long he can live under Qin Wei's assassination.

"Commander, we have prepared a new train for you. But ......" Muto Zhang hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I need to act with the bus." ”

"Yaga!" Tada Jun was furious, "Let me act with the bus?" Doesn't this mean that I'm afraid of Qin Wei? ”

However, according to the investigation of the intelligence agency, the intelligence system behind Qin Wei is claimed to be more terrifying than China's military and central command. Your special train will certainly not be able to hide from him. If he sends another plane when the time comes......" Muto Akira bent down and bowed his head. "Commander, please think about the war situation in the whole of North China."

"But ......" the Chinese Air Force shifted its attention to North China. Tada Jun didn't know that if he did this again, swaggering back to Beijing on the special train would be tantamount to taking a walk in front of the ghost gate. can be frightened off by a few planes from the other side. He really couldn't afford to lose that person. He's just done a great job. Moreover, without taking the train, how could he quickly return to Beijing and return to the headquarters of the North China Front? The Eighth Route Army attacked from all sides, and he went back one day late, which was a big loss.

"Commander. If that doesn't work, I recommend that you skip the train and fly instead. Muto Akira naturally knew that time was pressing, but he had already thought of an idea in advance.

"Airplanes?" Your uncle! Tada Jun is also a China expert. I also stayed in Beijing for a long time, and I almost spit out this scolding sentence that I learned well! Knowing that the air force of the Chinese is coming, let him go on a plane? Do you have to let him die a heroic and wonderful death? When he didn't know how dangerous the Japanese air force was in the face of the Chinese air force now? When you encounter the enemy, you can at least run by train, and there is still a hope of one or two percent of escape, where to run on the plane? When you get out of the hatch, it's a meatloaf.

"Commander, the Chinese Air Force should have only just entered North China, and I suspect that Qin Wei's purpose should be to prevent us from returning to reinforcements too soon, so as to create a better destructive environment for the Eighth Route Army, so that they can achieve greater results. As a result, we will fundamentally weaken the sustained combat capability of our North China Front. In addition, they also have to pay attention to the situation in the south, so the Chinese Air Force must not send much force to North China, which means that they should pay more attention to the land route rather than the air! Saying that, Muto Akira sighed again, "What's more, the Imperial Air Force is not their opponent at all now. They don't care much less about the situation in the air. So, as long as you find the right time, there should be no problem navigating by air, and it will also allow you to quickly return to Beijing and command the troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. ”

“…… Find a good pilot, and in the evening. ”

Tada Jun hesitated, but nodded. Although it is dangerous, Muto Akira is also very reasonable. The sooner he returns, the sooner the erosion in the rear will be over. Although Kasawara Yukio is now in charge of Beijing, the chief of staff is not the commander after all, and the strength of the Eighth Route Army is unexpected, and the destructiveness is too great, and Kasawara Yukio's means are somewhat insufficient.

"I'll go!"

Seeing that Tada Jun agreed, Muto Akira turned around and left. He wanted to order the special train to turn around, and at the same time send a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, asking the other party to prepare a special plane for Tada. …… Originally, things were going well, and Yoshio Shinozuka quickly called back, and everything was done. But then, within half an hour, Yoshio Shinozuka sent another 100,000 urgent telegram: Taiyuan Airport was bombed by the Chinese Air Force!

This is absolutely bad news! But before Tada Jun and Muto Akira could figure out how to deal with it, bad news came one after another: Datong Airport, Zhangjiakou Airport, Beijing Airport, Tianjin Airport, Shijiazhuang Airport, Baoding Airport...... It was bombed by the Chinese Air Force. The already small number of planes in North China were almost completely lost under this series of bombardments, and a large number of ground crew casualties were also suffered. That is to say, unless the support of Nanjing or the base camp is obtained immediately, there will be no room for the Japanese to speak in the sky of North China for a period of time to come.

In this situation, Tada Jun and Muto Akira were already sad enough, but the opponent didn't seem to think it was enough. Soon, they received news that the Chinese Air Force had set up a fighter squadron in Guisui and corresponding flight units in Yulin and Xi'an...... In other words, the passage from Hebei and Henan to Shanxi seems to have been blocked by the Chinese Air Force.

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

"The Kuomintang wants to suffocate Tada Jun to death in Shanxi."

Guanyinan, the office of the Eighth Route Army.

Ye Jianying looked at the latest newspaper and couldn't help sighing. Tada Jun is also a powerful person, not to mention the battle of Nakajo Mountain, just one move of the "cage policy" locked their base almost out of breath. But who would have thought that one day this goods would be blocked in Shanxi and couldn't get out? The land of Sanjin is a good place, but it is not a good thing for the Japanese to station more than 100,000 Japanese troops at once. In particular, their Eighth Route Army was wreaking havoc along the Zhengtai Road, and the longer Tada Jun stayed in Shanxi, the worse the situation would be after he returned.

"This is not Chiang Kai-shek's means." Zhou Enlai shook his head, "If you don't move, you will make the enemy almost powerless." Don't you think Tada Jun is a bit like Harada Kumayoshi, Hyakutake Harumoshi, and Kawabe Shozo who are stuck in North Vietnam and can't move? ”

"Do you still have to say that?" Dong Biwu said with a smile, "It's the Air Force that moves." This was naturally the method of that Qin chief. ”

"It's just a pity." Ye Jianying shook his head again and sighed, "Although the Kuomintang Air Force has temporarily blocked the passage to the east of Shanxi, this can only be temporary. And if Tada Jun is really ruthless and desperately suffers a little loss, he can still return to Beijing. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just a little loss, it's a big loss." Lin Boqu said with a smile.

"Isn't the Air Force blockading the Beibu Gulf, but also to prevent the Japanese Navy from attacking Hainan Island? What should I do over there when such a large number of people enter North China? Dong Biwu suddenly asked again.

"Oh, I know that." Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "Qin Wei bombed all the Japanese airfields in North China before, in fact, there is a reason. Most of the fighters and bombers he sent to North China were older planes, and most of the pilots were novices who had just been trained by the Kunming Aviation School......"

"I see, I see." Dong Biwu smiled bitterly, "He is a calf protector, I am afraid that the Japanese dog will jump off the wall in a hurry and hurt his people and the plane!" ”

"yes." Zhou Enlai nodded, "The Japanese are belligerent and go to war everywhere. How can any aircraft support Tada? There are only 100 planes in a huge North China, so you can know that their current life is actually not easy. ”

"It's time for war in Siberia, right?" Ye Jianying asked solemnly.

"Almost. It's been snowing a few times. Zhou Enlai replied softly.

"This battle, no matter who wins or loses, is not necessarily a good thing for us." Ye Jianying said in a deep voice: "I don't know how Chairman Lu Dao is preparing?" ”

"I don't know much about this, I hope everyone is ready." (To be continued......)
