Everyone applauded, and in everyone's opinion, these surrendered devils deserved to be killed.

The Eighth Route Comrade should not stop the common people.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of continuous explosions on the street, and the whistle of the emergency assembly of the devil's city defense troops sounded everywhere.

The people in the teahouse were suddenly in a mess, and the shopkeeper Dong said: "Don't panic, everyone, we are not worth much, if you want to find trouble, you are also looking for the Japanese, don't panic, continue to drink tea!" ”

At this time, someone ran in and said, "Oh no, the boiler and blast furnace of the steel plant, as well as the oxygen preparation workshop, have exploded." ”

Soon after, someone came and shouted: "The boiler of the thermal power station has exploded." ”

At this time, a group of devils passed in a hurry.

A hawker ran in and said, "The devil's bank vaults have been ransacked." ”

A series of explosions followed, and the whole city seemed to come alive.

Everyone looked out the window, good guys, the sky was full of leaflets from the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, more devils came out of the barracks and rushed to the north of the city, and there were constantly puppet military police along the way, and pedestrians on the street were driven into the shops along the way.

Waves of troops marched out.

As soon as everyone inquired, they learned that the serial explosions in the city attracted the attention of the Japanese puppet army, and accidentally the Chengbei Airport was ransacked by the Eighth Route Army, and even the special plane of the Okabe was taken away by the Eighth Route Army, and the whole scene was temporarily under martial law.

When the big guy heard this, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being arrested by the Japanese puppet army under martial law outside.

General Okabe, who was originally in the city, was going to participate in the Japan-China Friendship Association with Iwamatsu and the dogs, traitors, and traitors of Taiyuan City, as well as some local tyrants and bad gentry, and traitors.

Hearing this series of news, and then receiving a special letter of thanks and gifts from Li Yunlong, the face of the old devil Okabe turned green.

After Okabe, who was originally a new official, came to power, under a series of military deployments and actions, he first recaptured a large number of hub communication lines from the Eighth Route Army, and then successfully took Licheng and other five cities.

It can be described as high-spirited.

originally thought that the big thing had been decided, but the old devil Okabe even thought in private that perhaps it was because the deterrence he brought to the Eighth Route Army was too great, causing the Eighth Route Army to retreat in the face of difficulties and avoid Feng Cheng for the time being.

Who wanted to slap the face so quickly.

Taiyuan City, which was the nest of the First Army under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army, which was specially managed by the Japanese army, was so blatantly attacked and destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army, who accompanied Okabe on a tour of the city, had an even more ugly face.

This is the territory under his jurisdiction, and it is the lair of his first army.

But in the final analysis, if it weren't for Okabe's insistence on engaging in a pro-people policy, preaching Sino-Japanese goodwill, and even relaxing the vigilance of the entire Taiyuan City, the Eighth Route Army probably wouldn't have infiltrated Taiyuan City so easily to carry out these small actions.

Okabe didn't expect that these eight roads would be so rampant, and he even drilled into the cracks, taking advantage of the lax defense of Taiyuan City to launch a sneak attack

It's a pity that this has reached the critical Sino-Japanese Friendship Association.

was slapped in the face by Balu, which seemed to have become a big joke.

The kind faces of the little devils in disguise soon couldn't be hidden, and under the orders of Okabe and Iwamatsu, Taiyuan City immediately strengthened its vigilance and re-entered a state of special alert.

The gates of the city were closed, and the people who came and went had to go through strict search and checking.

Soon, the leaflets distributed by the Eighth Route Army that infiltrated the city were taken to Okabe and Iwamatsu by the devil signal soldiers.

Looking at the propaganda slogans on the leaflets, which were translated in Chinese and even attached to Japanese, and exposed the brutality and hypocrisy of the Japanese army, Okabe's nose was almost crooked.

He knew that this was a return fire from the Eighth Route Army.

In an attempt to paralyze the Chinese people in the occupied areas and appease their anti-Japanese sentiments, the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to sabotage and oppose the situation.

As the base camp of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, Taiyuan City, the heavily guarded nest can be infiltrated so easily by the Eighth Route Army, not to mention other surrounding counties and towns.

Sure enough, Iwamatsu Yoshio and Okabe soon received news that the pro-Japanese friendship meetings held in the major counties and towns around Taiyuan City, as well as various propaganda routes, were also sabotaged by the Eighth Route Army.

The so-called Sino-Japanese goodwill cannot be propagated at all.

In the end, the old devil Okabe left Taiyuan with a belly full of anger.

He knew that in the match between the two sides, he had already lost a game first.

"It's only been a few years, and these damn Eighth Route Army have already infiltrated the security area under the jurisdiction of our Great Japanese Empire to this point? It's just full of holes! ”

Gombo attributed this to Okamura's failure to control the situation in northern China while he was still in office.

"If even a stable security area can't guarantee stability, let alone those quasi-security areas and the base of the Eighth Route Army."

"In this way, we are promoting goodwill policies on the surface, and these eight roads are secretly making trouble, and this road will not work at all!"

The chief of staff of the devil on the side probably remembered the importance that Okamura attached to him when he was in power, but said out of justice: "General, when General Okamura was here, he also tried to implement a pro-people policy in North China in order to further seek stability in the security area.

It's just that these natives of the Eighth Route Army always get twice the result with half the effort in terms of political propaganda, which is far better than us outsiders.

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

No matter how good our propaganda is on the surface, I am afraid it will not be able to compare with the anti-Japanese propaganda and lobbying carried out by these Eighth Route Army in the covert infiltration. ”

Although Okabe was not happy to hear such words, he nodded anyway, it is a fact, he has already lost one game at the moment, and he can only pin his hopes on the next one.

According to the deployment of Okabe.

Since the Eighth Route has released its words on the surface, during this time, the major base areas have entered a period of recuperation and suspended large-scale operations with the Japanese army.

Okabe was also eager to take advantage of this time to allow the North China Front to quickly recover from the losses of the May 1st Sweep fiasco.

He gathered his troops, but only firmly controlled some important lines of communication and some county towns and towns with high military value.

Okabe ordered that troops from all localities should not enter the Eighth Route Army's base areas at will, but only carry out a partial campaign to clear the countryside in some quasi-public order areas, and vigorously implement the system of protecting armor and the system of joint sitting.

Further stabilize the internal defense and guard against the infiltration of the Eighth Route Army.

But in reality, it doesn't have much effect.

Speaking carefully, these strategies adopted by Okabe are basically leftovers of Okamura's play.

It's just that they were all dismantled by the Eighth Route Army, and they soon lost their effectiveness, and all the deployments to deal with the Eighth Route Army were just in name only.

On the contrary, Okabe made some progress by taking advantage of the flying teams in North China to continuously raid some weak base areas of the Eighth Route Army that lacked air defense systems.

The flying units of the little devils deliberately avoided the Iron Triangle and some of the more powerful Eighth Route Army base areas in the Taihang Base Area, launched air raids against some weak Eighth Route Army base areas, and destroyed various military buildings, all kinds of factories, workshops, and even farmland, crops, and so on in the Eighth Route Army Base Area.

Finally, it caused some losses to the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

It's a pity that the smug look on the face of the old devil Gombo didn't last long, and it froze.

First of all, a detachment and some units of the Eighth Route Army with air defense forces in the Taihang base area secretly moved and lurked in some base areas where there was no air defense force to launch a counterattack against the Japanese flying units that were attacked by the air force, resulting in a lot of damage to the Japanese fighters.

Then.

End of August.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit headed by Kong Jie drew up an operational plan for the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit to secretly attack the Japanese army's military airfields in Datong, Taiyuan, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Jinan, and other areas.

According to the plan proposed by Kong Jie.

With regard to the Japanese military airfields in various places, after searching for sufficient information through the intelligence line in advance, the aviation unit was dispatched to launch secret air raids.

The way of attacking is virtual and real, and the true and false are combined.

Sometimes they use fake planes made of wood and iron sheets to scare the devils, and sometimes they directly carry out live bombing, and if they succeed in a sneak attack, they will immediately evacuate.

Under such a tactic of true and false, false and real, striking from the east to the west, and hiding needles in the mianli, the Japanese army was in the major airports in North China, and the devil defenders were all on extra strengthened alert, and they were in panic all day long.

Under the air raid that did not have any rules to follow at all, the losses in one or two places of the Japanese airfields may not be large, but the superposition of the whole area is quite exaggerated.

So much so that after receiving the news of the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation unit air raids on the imperial military airfield several times, Okabe, couldn't help but sit weakly on the back chair and couldn't recover for a long time.

"The strength of the aviation unit secretly built by the Eighth Route has been further strengthened!"

This is the conclusion reached by Okabe.

"They even dare to use their aviation power to compete with the flying units of our Great Japanese Empire!"

Okabe had a bit of a headache, he could guess that the rapid growth of the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation unit, in addition to the warplanes captured and stolen from the Imperial airfield, must also be inseparable from the reinforcements of various countries.

The U.S. military, the British army, including the Soviet Union, these allies who are on the same front as China, will definitely secretly send reinforcements to them.

Originally, before the May Day Sweep, the Japanese army could directly cut off the international aid transportation routes from the Allied countries to China under the advantage of absolute air supremacy.

This includes not only the Yunnan-Burma Highway in southern China, but also the international aid air routes to China.

However, from the Pacific War to the outbreak of the Southeast Asian War.

Coupled with the fiasco of the May 1 sweep in North China, the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, especially those occupied and controlled by the troops dominated by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area, have been greatly expanded.

The Japanese army's military airfields were attacked by the Eighth Route Army's troops one after another, and even three large military airfields in Shanghai were attacked by the Eighth Route Army's secretly built aviation units.

At this point, the stability of the Japanese army's air supremacy, especially in the Chinese mainland, has been seriously impacted.

The Japanese army had no time to take into account how many international aid routes, including international aid air lines, were in the rear of the Eighth Route Army's base area.

In particular, the rapid rise of the aviation units secretly created by the Eighth Route Army.

By the outbreak of the air battle of Licheng, the Japanese army used many air forces in North China, Central China, and even East China and the navy in one go, but in the end it ended in a disastrous defeat.

Air combat is no longer the exclusive advantage of the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army's air raids against the Japanese army's military airfields in Datong, Taiyuan, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Jinan, and other places were just as Kong Jie said when he was at the headquarters.

"We just want to compete with the little devils for air supremacy on the front line, we can't let the devil's plane continue to be so rampant, in the past, there were only devil air raids, we can only look at the devil's fighter and stare at the history, gone forever!"

According to the comparison of the aviation strength of the two sides.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Even though the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in terms of air strength, only in North China, the army aviation units possessed by the Japanese army, and the fighters and forces they possess are far greater than the secret aviation units built by the Eighth Route Army.

But the Eighth Route Army also has its own advantages,

"First, our base is deep enough and the territory is vast, and the aviation base we secretly built has not been detected by the little devils so far. The enemy is in the light, we are in the dark, and this is a good time for us to take the opportunity to strike. ”

"Second, if we say that our Eighth Route Army started with guerrilla warfare, then the aviation unit we built should also have this characteristic and start with aviation guerrilla warfare.

In the final analysis, our Eighth Route Army is poor, and the barefoot ones are not afraid of the little devils wearing shoes, and we don't have so many scruples about it, and we can dispatch aviation units at any time to sneak attack any of the little devils' occupied areas.

But the little devils are different, they can't keep the attention of all the flying troops on our Eighth Route Army 24 hours a day.

On the frontal battlefield, the Pacific theater includes the Southeast Asian theater, as well as the control of coastal air supremacy, which requires the devil's aviation force to disperse forces.

When it comes to us, there are not many flying troops left that the little devils can mobilize. ”

"The Japanese army's flying units are powerful, so what? It's so great that our base area has been blindly bombed a few times, and our barren mountains and forests, which are hundreds of kilometers long, or even thousands of kilometers, let go and let his little devil blow them up! ”

"But the devil's airport and the military base in the occupied area are all clearly tied there, just like the gluttonous big fat meat, we can go up and nibble two bites at any time if we want to eat it."

In the end, Kong Jie once again sighed at the cleverness of the Supreme Command Strategy of the Eighth Route Army.

"The cleverness of encircling the cities with the countryside and finally seizing the power of the whole country can be applied not only to the development of the army, but also to the development of the aviation force!"

"This is exactly the anti-air guerrilla tactics of our Eighth Route Army Aviation Unit!"

"The little devils use planes to sneak up on our base areas everywhere, in fact, they just want to lure our aviation units out! But we're not stupid, why should we be fooled by this? There are so many military bases in the enemy-occupied area that can be used as targets for attack, so let's directly avoid the edge of the devil's flying force and bomb the devil's rear. ”

"The little devils bomb us, let's blow them up, see who can't withstand it first!"

In detail, this is more like a change tactic for air combat.

The truth is......

After the start of the anti-air tactics that unfolded in this way.

The Japanese side, especially the flight teams of the major air bases, were completely numb.

Although the Japanese army's air force has developed well, has a large number of flying units, and can even occupy absolute air supremacy in the Sino-Japanese battlefield, it can never completely control the entire air route.

The aviation units of the Eighth Route Army are elusive, and they are more difficult to intercept and ponder than the guerrilla units and interspersed units of the Eighth Route Army.

After the air raids were launched, the Japanese army could only parry in embarrassment......
