With the full cooperation of the Eighth Route Army of the Southern Hebei Military Region and the brother troops in the Taihang area, the soldiers successfully broke through the HD City and captured the Japanese army's Chengnan Airport.

It drew a perfect end to the final end of the entire May Day sweep.

The airport of the base area of the detachment was busy, and it was a new beginning.

On the side of the aviation base specially built by the Strategic Camouflage Bureau, fighter formations and bomber formations began to be transferred to the new airfield one after another, and the old airfield carried out transport aircraft take-off and landing operations, and continued to paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army with the last large-scale operation.

In the future, it can be used as an alternate airport to fool the little devils.

After all, it is necessary to make the little devil unclear how many airports there are in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and which one is the real airport.

After the military parade in Laicheng.

After signing a series of cooperation agreements, Chief Yan and Commander Tang have already returned.

However, the top brass of the Eighth Route Army did not leave, and everyone secretly went to the headquarters of the core base area of the first detachment, ready to start discussing the feasibility of launching a new offensive in the autumn, and by the way visited the three industrial bases established by the first detachment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment to see what the development prospects were.

This time, there were a lot of visitors.

There are a group of leaders from Yan'an.

There are also Mr. He, Brigade Commander Zhang, and Captain Song of the 120th Division.

Mr. Nie of Jinchaji, and Captain Yang of the detachment.

Commander Lu and his party in Jizhong, and Commander Chen in southern Hebei.

The head of the Yang detachment in northern Henan and his party.

The commander and political commissar of the 129th Division, as well as the 385,386 Brigade Commander Chen were responsible for accompanying him, and the specifications were very high.

Except for the New Fourth Army Headquarters and the eastern part of the 115th Division, which had not come too far, there were no representatives, and for the first time so many people from the top of the Eighth Route Army gathered to hold meetings, visit, and study, and their enthusiasm was high.

Not only that, but also Commander Fu and Staff Officer Chen of the 35th Army, as well as some high-ranking officers who were close confidants, also rushed here under the guise of visiting, exchanging and studying.

The air battle that broke out in Licheng this time surprised Commander Fu.

He was suddenly a little glad that he was a little glad of his foresight, and now that he was so close to the Eighth Route Army, he didn't care at all, who dared to force him? Whoever forced him to change his course directly, afraid of what would happen to him?

After Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei finished commanding the battle in Licheng, they also hurriedly returned to the base area by car to prepare for the leaders to visit the base area.

In the end, Kong Jie decided not to play false, and directly served hard dishes!

So the first stop of the generals' visit was the newly opened May Day Airport built by a team of secrets.

When the generals rushed to the place, as far as the eye could see, there was a brand-new reinforced concrete runway, a brand-new aircraft fort, an underground ammunition rack, an underground oil depot, a brand-new aviation command center, and a dense air defense fortification group and an electric detection radar warning network around it.

It seems that there are already some prototypes of modern military airports.

This scene shocked the audience.

The big leader's hands holding the cigarette trembled with excitement.

There are many patriotic generals who are looking forward to the Eighth Route Army being able to have their own aviation career and are dedicated to the public, but they are even more excited to tears, but they can't help themselves.

"Yes, yes!"

Everyone couldn't help but admire, looking at the planes from afar, and the planes from southern Hebei flew back for maintenance, how could they not see enough, unconsciously, they stood for nearly half an hour, but no one moved their feet to leave.

It can only be said that the dish that Kong Jie served when he came up was too hard.

At this time, the May Day large airport, which was specially expanded by a team, was much larger than the scale of the original airport.

Not to mention, the number of fighter planes parked on the entire airport, whether good or bad, was swept over at a glance, and the number was already shocking.

Before the start of the air battle around the city of Lai.

Originally, the Eighth Route Army only had one 97 fighter squadron, one Type 2 Zhong Kui squadron, two Type 1 Falcon squadrons, one Type 97 reconnaissance squadron, one Type 1 Fayabusa squadron that was repaired and used as a backup, and two 97 fighter squadrons.

The number of all the fighters was added together, and even all the transport planes were added, which was barely enough for the size of a flying team of the Japanese army.

In this way, the soldiers made great efforts to knock out five or six airfields of the Japanese army, and finally came to capture the fighters, and then put together a team to form a team.

The strength of the aviation forces during this period was still quite weak.

The Japanese army was also arrogant because of this, believing that in the air battle on the Li Cheng side, as long as the secret aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army dared to appear, it would definitely be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Until the end of the air battle in Licheng, the soldiers successfully defeated HD Chengnan Airport.

The harvest was far more fruitful than the generals expected.

The special operations forces of the Southern Hebei Military Region and the officers and men of the commando team led by Duan Peng took the lead in infiltrating, so that the final operation could almost be said to have occupied the Chengnan Airport intact, and completely took over all kinds of aviation resources and fighters of the Japanese army at the Chengnan Airport.

After taking the Seongnam Airport, the soldiers made an inventory and were immediately ecstatic.

A full 5 Dragon-Swallowing bombers.

Eight 96 land attack aircraft.

More than a dozen one-type land attack aircraft.

The 97 heavy bomber is estimated to have the size of almost two squadrons.

The Type 2 multi-seat attack aircraft also has a medium scale.

Among them, the largest number is the Type 97 fighter and the Eagle Falcon fighter commonly used by the Japanese army, as well as the Type 97 light bomber, the Type 98 light bomber, and the Type 99 dive bomber.

Speaking of which, I have to thank the old devil Okamura.

After learning that the fighter unit in the airspace of Licheng had been defeated, Okamura mobilized two squadrons of Type Ichi Hayabusa to be stationed at the airfield overnight, preparing to prepare for the whole day of combat the next day and cover the departure of the repaired fighters.

As a result, I made a wedding dress directly for the soldiers.

Okamura never dreamed that the flight unit he prepared had not had time to take off, and was directly crushed to death by the Eighth Route Army at Chengnan Airport.

This plane that didn't fly into the sky was probably no different from broken copper.

It was cheaper for the soldiers, and they took over the intact fighters of nearly two squadrons in vain.

Even Kong Jie shouted: "The sum of the seizures of the next Chengnan airport is much more than the many Japanese airfields we worked hard to build before!" ”

Commander Chen of the Southern Hebei Military Region was even more smiling from ear to ear.

Mine and mine are mine!

The aviation unit of our Southern Hebei Military Region finally has a spectrum now.

Of course, before that, all the fighters had to be honestly placed in the May Day large airport of other people's teams.

Kong Jie was even happier.

This Commander Chen is the same as Commander Lu, let's sell him and help us count the money!

In addition, the original reconnaissance planes at Seongnam Airport and the squadron of transport planes temporarily on standby at the airport.

Nearly 100 planes, large and small, were all recovered, which was enough for the Eighth Route Army Air Force to form two large-scale aviation units at the Wuyi Airport and the Changning Airport in the Huangyadong area!

The most important thing is that the devils transferred a large number of spare parts from North China and Central China to HD Chengnan Airport, which were originally used as maintenance materials for damaged aircraft, but they all went into the pockets of the Eighth Route Army, and these things were moved back, enough for the Eighth Route Army to consume for a period of time.

The damaged fighters captured from the devils also have enough materials to repair.

If all the damaged fighters are repaired and added together, the number of fighters will be even greater.

This Suzuki old devil has the so-called extended defense circle of HD Chengnan Airport, most of which are temporary sandbag fortifications, and it is okay to do a vigilance, but it is a fool's dream to block the armored troops and field troops from the Taihang area.

Moreover, the Japanese army was insufficient, and Suzuki ordered the transfer of a part of the so-called hardcore garrison and security forces to fill the defensive line.

Who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army Southern Hebei Military Region had infiltrated his garrison, the security army, and left a secret passage around the airport.

The defense line of the airfield collapsed.

So much so that the defenders left the ground crews, technicians, and pilots in a panic and ran away alone.

The Eighth Route Army has always recruited talents, and people like Duan Peng and his entourage know that these little devils are walking treasures, after all, there are many Japanese technicians in the team to help do things!

So, after Duan Peng led the soldiers to control these non-combatant little devils, he tried to persuade them to surrender.

At the very least, they have to lay down their weapons and control them all.

Even if you tie them, you have to tie them back.

The result was beyond Duan Peng's expectations.

These ground crews, technicians, and pilots dispatched from various airports in North China surrendered to the commandos of the Eighth Route Army very simply, and even advised the pilots in Central and East China not to resist.

Fujita Nakasa, an aviation technical officer who stayed at the airport, said very lonely: "General Okamura always does something unrealistic based on his personal preference, and the matter has come to this point, so don't make unnecessary resistance."

We have sacrificed too much in this war, and at this point, is there much hope?

I heard that the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially, and you all have relatives waiting for you in the country, so surrender, at least save your lives! ”

So Duan Peng and his entourage successfully captured the technical units of the aviation base that these little devils didn't have time to cover and leave.

And these talents, naturally, without exception, were all sent to a detachment.

For the ideological transformation and follow-up guidance of these captured Japanese soldiers, the detachment already has a fairly mature and complete system.

After receiving these prisoners, it is best not to rush to persuade them to sincerely serve the Eighth Route Army.

During this period, they still had a resistance mentality.

So, do nothing, just put them together with the Japanese troops of the anti-war alliance, and let them freely make ideological contacts.

It's almost time to get to the point.

Then some cadres of the Eighth Route Army went to persuade and win over.

He also solemnly promised that when the war was over, he would ensure that they would be returned home safely.

So you get more done with less.

At least eighty percent of the Japanese prisoners were taken by the detachment, and they all eventually chose to join the Eighth Route Army and join the camp of the anti-war coalition.

……

The base of a team is very lively at this time.

A group of leaders came to visit, accompanied by a variety of surprise, shock, emotion, excitement until the end of the day, and stayed in a team to participate in the party.

As the host, Kong Jie invited the leaders to stay in the team for dinner.

The commander-in-chief, who came from Yan'an, said with a smile: "Kong Jie, even if you don't say that we don't have anything to leave, the food of your first anti-Japanese independent detachment in the northwest of Shanxi Province is delicious, and there is meat at once, and this fame has spread to our Yan'an."

What do you think we're doing here?

In addition to visiting the development of your base area, there is another important thing to do, and that is to come to eat. ”

Hearing this, the soldiers laughed crookedly.

The lively atmosphere of the whole party was completely pushed to a climax.

The Eighth Route Army here is called the Five Star Night, and it is celebrated everywhere.

Some are pitiful, some are happy, some are sad.

The other side.

In Beiping, in the General Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, the old devil Okamura's face was pale, not to mention enjoying the party, and he couldn't eat dinner angrily.

The air battle of Li Cheng is over.

Although the Japanese army publicized it very well, it said that it had achieved the predetermined combat goal, successfully destroyed the Eighth Route Army units in Licheng, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Japanese flying team also suffered heavy losses.

And that's not all.

Even three large military airfields in Shanghai were attacked by the secret aviation units of the Eighth Route Army, which followed them.

After all, the Japanese air force failed to completely destroy the air force of the Eighth Route Army in the air battle at Licheng.

Then, there was bad news from HD Seongnam Airport.

In less than half a day, HD City was broken, and even Chengnan Airport fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

At this point, even Okamura himself couldn't figure out how this confused battle was fought.

Nanjing, headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army's Chinese Dispatch Army, Junroku Hata, was furious when he first received the news that the Shanghai airport had been attacked by an air raid.

Such an incident has been unique since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and it is clearly trampling on the majesty of the empire.

When the bad news of the ransacking of the Seongnam Airport came one after another, Hatara Junroku was almost stunned, after so many years, how could the Great Japanese Empire have suffered such a big loss?

Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, the imperial forces have invaded China, directly from north to south, and have captured half of China's mountains and rivers.

and then to the south to Southeast Asia, the expeditionary force, the British army, and the Indian army were defeated and retreated.

Attacking the Yankees in the north, the US troops fighting in the Pacific theater are screaming and screaming.

Now it is being defeated by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which are in the occupied area and trying to survive in the cracks, and Hatatakero always feels that this is like a big joke.

Furious, he couldn't wait to call Okamura to Nanjing immediately, first give him a few big mouths, and then split and feed the fish alive.

Why did he lose his eyes at the beginning, and still have high hopes for Okamura, thinking that Okamura will definitely be able to maintain the stability of the entire North China rear, and even completely defeat the Chinese army?

Now the empire has been defeated again and again.

Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, may not be able to keep his position, and even the position of commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army with Junroku Hahata is also in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Junroku Hata sighed helplessly.

The situation is becoming more and more unoptimistic! Is there really any hope for the Holy War of the Empire?
