…… Li Yunlong was overjoyed, because of this batch of newly built mortar vehicles, his new second regiment directly became a sweet spot for all parties to rob.

In the evening, Li Yunlong was directly surrounded by a group of people to toast, and the commanders and brigade commanders of various military regions, even holding Li Yunlong's shoulders and calling him brothers, wanted to get some mortar cars.

Lao Li finally drank dizzy, but he didn't forget to toast Kong Jie with a glass of wine when he was a little drunk.

"Lao Kong, I have to thank you for the production of new mortars, I don't have to say, the leader of our Huasheng Company, my Lao Li only recognizes you!"

Kong Jie is also very happy that Li Datou has attracted the attention of all parties, and the rapid development of his own team will have better cover in the future.

Guests and hosts have fun.

After visiting all the three industrial zones in the Iron Triangle, the group finally visited the Huangyadong area of the headquarters to participate in the selection of guns and artillery in the headquarters arsenal.

Another batch of Allied equipment has also been transported to the Huangyadong Arsenal, and infantry guns, mountain artillery, field artillery, howitzers, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, and even heavy artillery are all trying to be finalized, and a group of experts are demonstrating.

In addition, Kong Jie also bought a batch of American guns, Soviet guns, and captured Japanese guns through various channels, all of which were sent to the Huangyadong Arsenal.

They even bought a batch of captured German artillery pieces of various types through the Soviet Union, as well as some artillery pieces equipped by the national army, and sent them all.

In the end, the generals visited the Huangyadong Arsenal.

He also took advantage of the situation to hold a military meeting in the Huangyadong Command Headquarters -- an expanded meeting on the feasibility of the autumn offensive.

We have captured a lot this year, and more materials have been added to the troops, and elite field units have been formed.

As early as after the May Day Sweep, there were generals of the Eighth Route Army who proposed it.

This little devil's unprecedented sweep of our base has ended, but we can't just be beaten and not fight back, right?

Just taking advantage of the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in the May 1 Sweep, when the troops of all sides had to seize the time to rest and recuperate, and when their heels were not firm, they seized the opportunity to launch a special military offensive in the autumn to expand and further consolidate the results of the May 1 Anti-Sweep victory.

…… After the meeting,

The generals fighting on the front line were even more unanimous in agreeing to carry out the autumn offensive.

After extensive discussion, everyone found that Taiyuan still had to be used as a fuss.

In particular, Commander Fu's henchmen said that their troops had just joined, and there might be Jiang Jun or Japanese spies, and they were willing to pretend to cooperate with the 120th Division to march east to the west of Taiyuan City.

Mr. Nie said that they were also ready to attack Baoding and other important towns, striving to attract the main force of Zhangjiakou and create an opportunity for the troops in the Taihang Mountain area to attack Zhangjiakou.

Commander Lu, Commander Chen, and Lao Yang of northern Henan all expressed their positions and said that they would fully cooperate with the Iron Triangle, and the 385 and 386 field troops attacked eastern Hebei, as well as the core areas of devils such as Lunan and Luxi.

The deputy commander-in-chief even said with a hammer: "Comrades, what they said is good, it can be said that it has reached my heart."

Our troops are now getting stronger and stronger, and the equipment is getting better and better, so we can't let his little devil have a good time, this autumn offensive will make a good mess for him, this battle is fought, and we can also have a stable and prosperous New Year! ”

Then at the meeting, the deputy commander-in-chief asked the generals at all levels if they had any additional opinions on the upcoming autumn offensive.

Kong Jie smiled and proposed: "If we talk about the May Day Sweep, we defeated the Japanese army with an overwhelming lift, which led to the failure of the Japanese army's plan to stabilize the rear of North China and concentrate on the Pacific Operation.

This gave the Allied countries unexpected surprise words.

If we reveal a little more to the allies, our Eighth Route Army is preparing to launch an autumn offensive to further destabilize the stability of the Japanese army in the rear of North China.

In order to prepare for the operations of the allies in Southeast Asia and the Pacific theaters.

From this point of view, they say, if we ask the Allies for some special support, they can't refuse, right? ”

The deputy chief of the general staff said with a smile, "Comrade Kong Jie always has a good calculation, and I think this idea is very good."

Then again, Kong Jie, what are you going to order with this move? ”

Kong Jie said: "Fortress warfare experts, long-range artillery experts, these are very interesting to me, and in the future, we can also come in handy in the fight against the Japanese army."

After all, fighting in these areas is not what our Eighth Route Army is good at.

We should study and develop ahead of time, and we must always develop our army into an all-round combat unit with all-round development.

In addition, it would be better to purchase a batch of Soviet-made 1931 BM4203 mm howitzers and a batch of M1 203 mm howitzers from the US military.

The so-called people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, not to mention the development of our army now, and the aviation units we have developed in the air force can be regarded as having a certain scale.

However, we are still blank in this naval aspect, and I am also interested in the more advanced military submarines of the Allied countries. ”

When the generals heard this, they were all stunned.

If the lion's big mouth is exaggerated enough, Kong Jie's move can be regarded as a whale's big mouth.

Then it was emotional.

In recent years, the independent regiment, a team, and Kong Jie have risen like dark horses.

Sure enough, it's not all luck.

When everyone was still discussing the development of the army and hoping for the further development of the air force, they were already planning how to prepare for the navy.

Ultimately.

"If we want to become a military power, in addition to the army and air force, we must also have our own navy, otherwise we will not even be able to participate in landing operations or battlefields like the Pacific War.

This is not in line with our China's road to a strong army! ”

The generals pondered Kong Jie's words in silence.

Commander Fu was even more deeply shocked.

In terms of coming to the Eighth Route Army this time, he really witnessed too much, the powerful anti-air combat force displayed in the Eighth Route of the Licheng Air Battle, and the wonderful air combat of the aviation unit secretly built.

To the first detachment, the new 1st regiment, the new 2nd regiment, the advanced industrial production area of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

Now, Kong Jie proposed to try to prepare for China's naval development.

The so-called one who does not seek eternity is not enough to seek a domain!

These generals of the Eighth Route Army have a long-term vision and amazing courage, have they reached this point?

From this, think about those rotten and factional intrigues with each other, and constantly attack Chiang's troops.

It is clear which of the two sides is superior and which is inferior.

Commander Fu suddenly became more and more glad about his choice, and the Eighth Route Army invited him to visit this series of industrial zones, and even invited him to participate in such an important military meeting, which also showed him sincerity.

In the end, before leaving the base of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Fu and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army had a secret conversation for a long time in the secret room.

- Ahem, this may be more explainable, why later Commander Fu had more than 200,000 troops in his hands, why he would peacefully accept the reorganization and peacefully liberate Beiping.

You think it's Lao Fu Dayi, but in fact, people have already made it up internally hahaha......

……

……

Say the other side.

At the same time, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army happily visited the secretly built aviation base in the detachment, and visited a large number of warplanes captured from the Japanese army, as well as the new fighters bought back from the Allied countries.

Okamura, commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front, learned that the Eighth Route Army had attacked HD Seongnam Airfield, and did not sleep all night.

With so many planes in transit for one night, it is absolutely impossible to hide them all in a short period of time, Okamura used senior spies to confirm the approximate location of the airfield of the Eighth Route Army detachment.

In the end, it was decided to contact the Kwantung Army and send a long-range bomber unit and a secret weapon, the Fighter Zero Fighter Squadron, to help in the battle, hunt the Eighth Route Army's Type 1 Falcon and Type 2 Zhong Kui fighters, and cooperate with the last strength of the North China Air Force to destroy the planes obtained by the Eighth Route Army from HD Chengnan Airport and blow up the Eighth Route Army's airfield.

The Japanese army even sent an imperial airborne death squad and a hardcore mountain forest death squad to directly parachute into the airfield after the air raid and completely destroy the airfield.

Okamura was in full swing preparing for the attack.

This can be said to be his last struggle.

It is said that on the side of the Eighth Route Army at the same time, Kong Jie and other generals have been on guard against the surprise attack of the little devil's flying troops after they defeated the Chengnan Airport.

The team has already had a plan to deal with this.

Everyone rushed to the old airport overnight to check the counterfeiting and see what loopholes there were.

A group of people at the airport checked the test of the fake fighter jet, and Colonel Doolittle, who followed, said, "Kong, our newest P38 Lightning squadron has arrived, why not involve them in the operation?"

Rather, let all the planes go into the aircraft forts and underground hangars, and throughout the day only anti-aircraft artillery units will participate in the battle?

We have every strength to replicate another big air battle in Licheng! ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Temporarily avoiding the enemy's edge is not to retreat because of the fear of the enemy, but to exchange for the greatest victory at the smallest price."

In this May Day sweep, the Japanese army suffered a heavy defeat, coupled with the heavy casualties of the various aviation units of the air war devils in Licheng, Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army who planned all this, must be responsible for this, and I estimate that this old devil will not stay in his post for too long.

The Japanese, on the other hand, have always been gamblers.

I think if I were an old devil like Okamura, I would never be willing to leave before I left, and maybe I would take a gamble.

Let's take advantage of his gambler's mentality, dig up the hidden spies, and paralyze the little devils by the way, and then take advantage of the resignation of Okamura, the commander-in-chief who knows the situation in North China best, to launch an autumn offensive and surprise the devils again! ”

Doolittle thought for a moment and nodded.

In the air battle of Licheng, Kong Jie's exquisite command is the best interpretation of his ability.

Doolittle was also surprised by Kong Jie's command that did not follow the routine at all.

It was obviously an air battle around Licheng, but in the end, it was a direct sneak attack on the Japanese army's military airfield in Shanghai.

I have to say that in these units of the Eighth Route Army, Doolittle has witnessed too many incredible and exquisite tactics.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "As for now, let's take a good look at the steps of the devil preparing for an air attack in the air, how to evacuate in an orderly manner after the air defense alarm is pulled, and how to pretend to be a fake fighter to take off!" ”

Eventually, over time.

Okamura's last struggling attack kicked off.

The Japanese troops, who arrived quickly, bombed a specially built fake airfield, as well as a fake plane and a fake air defense base.

The officers and men of the air defense unit of the Eighth Route Army, who were hidden in the air-raid shelters, were even more familiar with the road this time because they had already accumulated rich experience in air combat during the air battle in Licheng.

Until the shells carried by the Japanese bombers were almost wasted on false targets.

Only then did the air defense units quickly move out of the air defense fortifications and engage the Japanese flying units.

Before evacuating, the airborne troops, death squads, and mountain and forest death squads specially prepared by Okamura were parachuted into the base area of the Eighth Route Army, in an attempt to completely destroy the secret airfield of the Eighth Route Army.

Until......

These little devils who are not afraid of death hurried to the airport, only to find out with a stunned face that the entire airport was simply fake, and all the destroyed fighters, including some air defense fortifications, were also fake.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had been lurking around for a long time, took the opportunity to make a move, so the devil's death squad really became a death squad.

Even many of the spies and traitors specially used by the little devils this time were all dug up by the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army.

Ultimately.

The little devils of these death squads, at the time of their demise, finally sent back to the Japanese command with only one message: "Your Excellency Commander, we have been tricked, this is just a fake airfield forged by the Eighth Road!" ”

"Bastard!"

The last struggle was still in full swing, and an annoyed Okamura roared in the headquarters.

Then came a phone call from the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Junroku Hatata, asking Okamura to rush to Nanjing for a meeting.

Okamura's heart completely sank to the bottom, and this time he contacted the Kwantung Army privately without informing the General Headquarters.

I thought that the final struggle might be able to win a game, but it was a reversal of stealing chickens.

The old face is completely lost!

Soon after, Okamura, in accordance with the order of Junroku Hata, rushed to the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing for a meeting, and the commanders of the Japanese theaters were present, and a group of people watched and waited to see Okamura's jokes.

Without any accidents, Okamura was scolded, but he still did not give up, saying that there was new information that the Eighth Route Army had established a steel plant in the Taihang area, with an annual output of 10,000 tons of steel, and it was necessary to immediately find a way to destroy the steel plant of the Eighth Route Army.

The commander of the 13th Army in Shanghai sneered: "Okamura-kun, are you confused?

With an annual output of 10,000 tons of steel, do you think this steel is a sculpture made of mud?

Or is it because you yourself have been in the Eighth Route Army too much, so you take everyone for fools?

It still has an annual output of 10,000 tons, and the Eighth Route Army doesn't even have a modern blast furnace, so do you want to make steel?

I don't know if the Eighth Route Army can make steel with its mouth, but I think Okamura-kun has this ability, don't you think? ”

As the words fell, a group of people burst into laughter.

Okamura's face turned red, but he was not reconciled, and finally struggled: "There is no one here who is more familiar with the war situation in North China than me, and there is no one more suitable than me to command the imperial troops in North China to deal with the Eighth Route Army."

The development of Eight Roads over the years has far exceeded your imagination!

This is the most critical time, once they are completely strengthened, they can no longer be eliminated.

It is true that Okamura has lost the battle over the years, but the more critical it is, the more I cannot temporarily change the general, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, I hope that the headquarters can give me one last chance, at least there must be a smooth transition period! ”

"Do you want to continue to lose the war during the smooth transition period and continue to damage the military prestige of our Great Japanese Empire?" There is a devil commander unceremoniously sarcastic.

"You ......"

Okamura was angry, but he had nothing to say.

Yan Junliu shook his head after all and said, "Let's implement the plan of producing materials on the spot, and let's improve it together." ”

Then he asked Okamura to be taken out, and according to the order of the Japanese Army's General Military Command, he was asked to report to Kuah Island.

At this point, the era of the brutal executioner, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front, and the old devil Okamura came to an end......
