Chapter 382: Prelude to the General Offensive (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various !! )

The Northern Air Force cleanly annihilated the air force of the North China Front in one fell swoop, and even the entire Japanese Government was proud of it, and the Zero fighter air force with the name of "Yamato Condor" did not let go.

The next day, the major newspapers and periodicals led by the Saibei Daily and the Saibei Economic News reported on the incident in the form of front-page headlines at the same time, and all the reports had keywords such as "Yamato Divine Eagle", "Fall", and "Annihilation of the Whole Army", and an article written by Chen Feng himself entitled "The Fate of the Invaders - The Fall of the Yamato Divine Eagle in Saibei" was quickly reprinted by major newspapers and periodicals, and quickly became popular all over the country.

Chen Feng does have a reason to be happy, not to mention that the Eighth War Zone is famous again, the tangible benefits alone are enough to make Chen Feng smile, as soon as yesterday's air battle ended, Chen Feng received a transmission from the little fox, and he actually got 16,500 points in the first battle yesterday, which is really an unexpected surprise. According to Little Fox's report, among the Japanese fighters shot down yesterday, there were 88 new-type fighters, and the rest were old fighters, and in addition, 7 officers of the Dazuo rank, 71 officers of the middle rank were killed, and 241 officers below the junior rank were killed. Looking at the 79,000 points of savings in the points account, Chen Feng called it happiness.

Japan surprisingly did not jump out to quibble about the disastrous defeat in the air battle, and although the vast majority of the fighters were shot down by the Northern Air Force that day, some of them still escaped. The pilots were quickly gathered in Beiping, where they were questioned many times by intelligence experts. In the end, the Japanese army judged that Chen Feng's unit must now have an extremely advanced fighter, at least much stronger than the Zero fighter newly developed by the Japanese Empire.

This judgment caused an uproar in the Japanese military circles, and although the use of advanced fighters by the people of China made them feel frightened, what made them even more uneasy was the source of such fighters, the red Soviet Union in the north? Or is it the greedy and untrustworthy America? But neither the Soviet Union nor the United States was good news for the Great Japanese Empire. Of course, the Japanese would not believe that the Chinese would develop such a new fighter on their own. In the general understanding of the Japanese military and civilians, China is synonymous with ignorance and backwardness, and from the very beginning China did not have an aircraft industry, let alone the production of aircraft. It's a miracle to be able to produce some aircraft parts.

Out of fear of this unknown new fighter. The Japanese did not quibble about their defeat this time, but surprisingly chose silence.

The strong counterattack of the Chinese Air Force frightened the Japanese, and at the same time the Soviet Union was taken by surprise. Unlike the United States and Germany, the Soviets were always watching the Sino-Japanese battlefield. At the Battle of Nomenkan, they were victorious. However, the Japanese charge was not afraid of life and death, and still made the Soviet troops involved in the war tremble. The vast majority of officers, including the commander-in-chief of the campaign, General Zhukov, were reluctant to fight the Japanese, who were too crazy. So the Soviet Union paid more attention to the Chinese battlefield than any other country.

Although the intelligence services of the Soviet Union were not as pervasive as the Military Command Bureau of the Nationalist Government and the special high-tech departments of the Japanese army, they were also the most outstanding intelligence agencies in the world. In addition, there are still a large number of Soviet flight volunteers serving in the Nationalist Government Air Force, so the Soviet Union has long known that the Japanese army has developed a new type of fighter.

And the commander of the Soviet Aviation Volunteer for China A? C. Blagovishinsky's telegram to the Soviet Aviation Committee gave the Japanese Zero fighter a very high evaluation, believing that with the fighters that are now in service in the Soviet Union, whether it is the MiG series or the Iraqi series, it is impossible for the Japanese Zero fighters to be the opponent of the Japanese Zero fighters, so the Soviets are very concerned about every battle of the Japanese Zero fighters in the Chinese battlefield.

Yesterday, the Japanese army unexpectedly inflicted heavy losses on the Northern Air Force, which made the Soviet side very uneasy, and it was important to know that China's Northern Air Force was flying Soviet fighters, and they were also relatively advanced Iraq-15 and 16 fighters; although it was said that there were more advanced combat planes in the Soviet Union than these two fighters, the Soviet Union's clean and neat fighting still made the Soviet side feel terrified, and it was difficult for the Soviet Union to do so even with the most advanced fighters available in the Soviet Union.

It is already an ironclad fact that the fighters are inferior to the people, and Japan has always been eyeing the Far East, and the Soviet side is very worried that Japan, with the support of new fighters, will have another battle of Nomenkan. You must know that a large part of the reason why the Soviet side was able to defeat the Japanese in such a short period of time last time was because the desperate resistance of the Soviet Red Army at that time dragged the Japanese Air Force, and then the Soviet Union's large-scale armored and artillery units had a chance to show their skills, otherwise dozens of bombers would have been able to completely lay down several armored divisions and several artillery divisions.

As a last resort, the Soviet Union secretly increased its troops in the Far East, and at the same time troops in the Far East were frequently mobilized. However, this scene lasted for less than a day before it was completely stopped, and the Chinese Air Force actually found its way back, and the face that was beaten hard yesterday is back today, and it is very hard.

In addition to being happy, the Soviet side was even more curious about how the Northern Air Force could defeat the powerful Japanese Air Force, so the Soviet side submitted a request to the Eighth Theater of Operations to continue to send flight volunteers to serve in the Northern Air Force on the grounds that the Northern Air Force had suffered heavy losses.

However, this proposal was quickly vetoed by Chen Feng, what a joke, the new fighter is now the secret weapon of the Eighth War Zone, how can it be shared with the Soviets, although the Soviet Union did not help the Eighth War Zone before, but those help is not gratuitous, but has to pay a huge price, while helping Chen Feng, the Soviets can be said to make a lot of money, and it is at best a transaction between them, so Chen Feng simply rejected the proposal of the Soviets.

The fall of the Yamato Condor team had an extremely huge impact on the entire Chinese battlefield, and the Japanese army, which was already demoralized, was even more depressed, while those puppet soldiers who were fighting for the tiger were terrified, lest they be executed by the Eighth War Zone for traitor one day.

To be honest, the puppet army in North China did not resist fighting with the Eighth War Zone, mainly because the Eighth War Zone generally rarely killed the puppet army, and even if they were defeated and captured, at most they were incorporated into the recruit units of the Eighth War Zone after some education. But now, with the influx of a large number of people into Saibei Province, it is easy to recruit soldiers in the Eighth War Zone, so the treatment of those captured puppet soldiers will be much harsher, and all those who have bloody cases in their hands will be executed, and all officers will be executed, anyway, the "murderous spirit" is very heavy.

Moreover, there is now a very large and obscure crime in the northern part of the country - the crime of traitor. The concept of this crime is vague and the definition is not clear, but the sentence is very heavy, and it will be executed at every turn, so what the puppet army is most afraid of now is fighting the troops of the Eighth Theater.

Now the only aviation unit that can support the Japanese puppet army in North China was lost in a battle yesterday, which is undoubtedly the end of the world for the Japanese puppet army on the front line.

On December 6, more than 100,000 troops of the 52nd Group Army of the Eighth Theater besieged Changping, and the North China Front Army shook up and down, and General Binshan Yuan hurriedly sent a report to the 12th Army, ordering the 109th Division of the 12th Army to immediately go north for reinforcements.

On the same day, the 40th Group Army broke through Jingle County, and the 8th Wing of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, the 12th Division of the Puppet Army, and the 8th Cavalry Brigade were all annihilated. Tens of thousands of troops of the 40th Group Army joined forces under Xinkou City, and the First Army stationed in Shanxi had to withdraw its troops from the Xinkou front line and retreat to Yangqu, preparing to fight with Chen Feng's troops under Taiyuan City.

At the same time, nearly 200,000 people in the Second Theater attacked from Luliang and Xiaoyi, and even went down to Pingyao, Qixian, Taigu and other counties, and the offensive was very fierce. Everyone can see that Yan Laoxi has a good opportunity to catch the water dog, and the beating is called a ruthless, which makes Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka hate itchy.

The first theater of operations was not idle, and the 15th Army under Liu Enmao finally couldn't bear to make a move, and the 40,000 troops marched out of Anyang to Linzhang and Cixian, and the troops were directed at Handan. More than 100,000 people from the 120th and 129th divisions of the Eighth Route Army were also assembled in southern Hebei, and the surrounding counties and cities of Handan and Xingtai were successively attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, forcing the Japanese army to urgently shrink its forces and stick to such large cities as Handan and Xingtai and along the railway.

Look at the time is almost up, the time is ripe for a general attack. Chen Feng left for Wei County on December 7, accompanied by his second wife, Ye Helina, and Yang Yi, chief of staff of the theater.

At the training ground of the Wei County Garrison Regiment, strange fighter planes slowly landed under the surprised gaze of a group of senior officers, and then Chen Feng and Ye Helina stepped off the plane.

The fact that planes that can land without a professional airport or a professional runway is undoubtedly a very surprising thing in the eyes of all officers. Although the aircraft is not large, it still looks very powerful. It is no wonder that Wu Zhijiu is indeed a very successful armed helicopter, and in this era Wu Zhijiu is undoubtedly an anti-heaven artifact.

Chen Feng went south this time to command the most rear-end general attack, and that night Chen Feng held a meeting of forward officers in Wei County, which was attended by the chief and deputy commanders of the four main divisions and the main officers of the armored group.

Originally, according to the previously formulated battle plan, in addition to infantry and armored units, the air force also participated in the battle. However, after yesterday's big air battle, the air power of the North China Front has basically been destroyed, and the remaining kittens are no longer a threat to the armored forces, so there is no need for the air force to participate in this battle.
