However, the Japanese army's deployment of aviation units was very loud, but the Eighth Route Army was not fooled at all.

Front-line intelligence came that the Japanese army only frequently dispatched small flying units, and often did not have any special preparations, dropping a few shells casually and withdrawing at the touch of a button.

Kong Jie, the person in charge of the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army, who has a keen sense of military smell, pointed out sharply: "The devil's flight team is deliberately sending us smoke bombs, and the small-scale flight formation is dispatched everywhere to harass us, and eighty percent of them want to completely lure out our aviation forces."

It's just that this little devil is too self-righteous, and really thinks that our aviation unit was built late, started relatively backward, and is not as good as him in terms of combat experience?

In that case, let's just come and make a plan. ”

How?

Kong Jie immediately issued the following arrangements for the major aviation bases:

On the day when the Japanese army began to launch a large-scale raid, the air force assembled in the Guisui, Luliang, and Taihang areas made an all-out attack, exposing all the temporary airfields.

"Didn't the little devil try to be tempted and deliberately lure our aviation forces to attack? Then let's expose it directly to him, take advantage of the fact that the devil has no time to come back to his senses, concentrate all the aviation forces, cover the combat troops this time, and target the large-scale raid of the devil's air raid! ”

After the air raid ended, all the fighters moved overnight.

Anyway, our Eighth Route Army has nothing else, but the area of the base area is large enough, and there are two or three spare camouflage airfields around each aviation base, which can be thrown to the little devils at any time.

Let's just wait for his devil's flight unit to come and attack our airfield.

The next day, the main forces quickly retreated to the preset battlefield, equipped with anti-aircraft firepower along the way, and beware of the Japanese air fire reinforcements.

On the third day, when the Iron Triangle Field Army ambushed the 14th Division with all its might, our aviation units attacked with all their might at the same time.

This time, we're also out of the way, and it's a big deal.

Concentrate all our aviation forces.

According to the specific data fed back from the aviation bases of all parties, we expect to be able to gather 5 Lawu fighter squadrons, 8 Lawu Squadrons, 2 La5 Squadrons, P38 8 squadrons, 6 P47 squadrons, 6 Yak 3 improved squadrons, one Zero squadron, and one Zhong Xu squadron.

The reserve is 5 Ichi Hayabusa squadrons, 2 P38 squadrons, and 3 La 5 squadrons.

How much does that count? That's nearly 50 flying squadrons! ”

With the sound of gasping in the conference room, in fact, even Kong Jie was secretly speechless.

Unconsciously, the forces of the six major aviation bases built by the Eighth Route Army were integrated, and they already had such a huge force.

Not to mention anything else, just the number of fighters is even twice as many as everyone speculates, the number of flying troops that the Japanese army can dispatch!

As for the reason, on the one hand, with the help of the allies, after the base area has a fighter production line, no matter what the combat performance of the fighters is, the number is finally quickly superimposed.

Coupled with the increased number of fighters of the allies and the rapid training of pilots from the major base areas, although this was not a long time, the development of the Eighth Route Army's aviation force was by leaps and bounds.

Including the operation of the flight unit, there is even a special Allied flying assault group sent by the Allied side.

At that time, many generals were also confused about this matter, thinking that these gringos should have eaten enough to support themselves and came to our China to fight?

Kong Jie explained: "It was not the time when the Allies saw our autumn offensive against the Weifang concentration camp and Tianjin, and some of the troops they symbolically sent could still make some gains in battle, and the battle losses were very low, so we would not immediately expand the establishment and stuff the families of those parliamentarians, capitalists, and celebrities."

The name is beautiful: go to serve in the most dangerous Chinese battlefield!

As for the Pacific Ocean and North Africa, both of them are fatal places, come to the Eighth Route Army here with high mountains and far away emperors, we will win some battles, they will wave their flags and shout in the back, and they can publish in the newspapers, and when they go back, they will have all kinds of medals of honor? ”

The generals were surprised by this.

"They're doing it too? Are these young master soldiers easy to bring? ”

"Then you have to ask Lao Li about this, he is in charge of this!"

Li Yunlong said: "If you want to play the gilded set, the gringos will not lose to us at all in this regard, or Lao Mai can be a general, and his son Mai can also be a general?"

On the Kuah Island, the U.S. military is now beaten by that old devil in Okamura so that the sun rises in one direction, so they can only run to us to find help, and they still think that the distant water can save the near fire!

But then again, the quality of these rich children is still good, and they take the initiative to ask to train with our ordinary troops, eat and wear the same, and have no special requirements.

These lads are all talented climbers, skydiving, diving, radio, driving, proficient in everything, and speak well. ”

Speaking of this, even Li Yunlong sighed: "It seems that people's economic development is different, and these things are often played by people." I practice hard, and people should be baptized! Some time ago, their congressmen came to visit and were surprised to see that they were casually five kilometers off-road, and they were like ghosts! ”

On the other hand, in the Pacific Theater and the Southeast Asian Theater, the Allied countries were defeated and retreated by the Japanese army, but it was the Chinese battlefield, the direction behind the enemy, and the continuous victory of the Eighth Route Army seemed to have become an excellent choice for the Allied countries to finally suppress the arrogance of the Japanese army.

Therefore, in the struggle for air supremacy between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, the support of the Allied countries was still quite good.

That's it.

At that time, the Japanese flying units were still playing the stage of tentative offensive.

According to the plan, the Japanese army set out from Laoxian with the 101st, 106th, and 26th divisions to attack the defenders of the Eighth Route Army in Xinkou; The 35th Division led by the old devil Harada, with the assistance of several Japanese troops, also quickly advanced in the direction of Xinkou after the surprise attack on Daixian.

That's at this time.

The flying troops of the Eighth Route Army gathered in the Guisui, Luliang, and Taihang areas quickly attacked, and without sparing any hands, they directly launched a fierce air attack on the Japanese master regiments attacking Xinkou with lightning speed.

Of course, for this, the Eighth Route Army also paid the price of exposing the airfield.

As for the effect, it is naturally unexpectedly good.

The main divisions of the Japanese army, which were originally attacked from both sides of Xinkou, attacked fiercely, and the defensive troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Xinkou still fought quite fiercely even with the help of fortifications that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Then air fire reinforcements belonging to the Eighth Route Army quickly arrived.

Moreover, the flight unit dispatched at one time has more than 10 squadrons.

In the early morning, when the belly of the fish had just turned white, the huge roar of the engine came from the air, and then the black-pressed planes roared through the air, and bombs fell one after another.

The overflowing stunned froze on the faces of some old devils, including Harada, the commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army.

When he saw the swiftly whizzing fighter plane, Harada's mind was still full of question marks - didn't he call for reinforcements in the air?

When he quickly came back to his senses and saw that the bombs one after another were not falling towards the Eighth Route Army, but towards the Imperial troops, Harada's face suddenly changed drastically.

"Yaga, it's an eight-way plane!"

"Quick, fast and hidden, take the lead in transferring baggage, artillery and mechanical vehicles!"

Boom –

It seems that only this last sound is left in heaven and earth.

The air fire of the Eighth Route Army came suddenly, and even though the Japanese side expected the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army to take action, the various units prepared a considerable amount of anti-aircraft artillery, but they did not have time to deploy it quickly in a hurry.

Although the speed of the Japanese army was also very fast, it quickly dispersed the denser military columns, and some important baggage, artillery, and mechanized combat vehicles were also dispersed and concealed at the first time.

However, under the large-scale exposure, under the air raids of the Eighth Route Army one after another fighters and bombers, the Japanese army still paid a very heavy price in casualties.

However, the air force of the Eighth Route Army did not like to fight, and after quickly two rounds of air raids and dropped the bombs carried by the planes, they chose to evacuate from the air battlefield and fly back to the predetermined secret airfield before the devils stabilized their positions and launched anti-aircraft fire.

This made Lieutenant General Harada couldn't help but scold, "What are the aviation units of the empire doing for food?" Can't even these broken planes of the Eighth Road keep an eye on it? ”

And after this round of strikes, it almost directly reversed the situation of the Japanese army fighting in the Xinkou area.

After the rapid air attack by the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were originally stationed at Xinkou, did not hesitate to launch a counter-charge while the Japanese army was hit by air fire and had not had time to stabilize the formation.

This sudden attack directly deprived the devil of his spirit.

The Japanese army, which was originally pressed like a tide, was forced back by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army like a tide at this moment, and the fortifications that the devils had finally laid down were lost to the Eighth Route Army again.

Harada and other old devils, who were suddenly out of whack, also immediately passed on the news to the Japanese aviation department, and strongly requested that air reinforcements arrive quickly!

These old devils don't dare to bet, who knows if those eight-way fighters will not go and return, and then come to air raids from time to time?

However, after regaining a large number of defensive positions, the combat units of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Xinkou chose to hold on to the danger and immediately made air defense preparations.

Beiping, the General Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, the old devil Okabe who learned the battle situation was also angry and gritted his teeth, these damn eight roads did not play cards according to the routine at all, and the confrontation between the two empty forces was not even tempted, and directly launched a full-scale attack.

What exactly do these Eight Roads think?

"Fortunately, after the Eighth Route move, according to the information sent back from our front line, the airfields of the Eighth Route Army have been locked, and the general can destroy the aviation base of the Eighth Route Army according to our follow-up battle plan!" The chief of staff of the devil said with relief on the side.

"Roar!" Okabe nodded.

Soon after, the Japanese army's various flight units quickly dispatched, and in the face of the devil's air fire reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army troops stationed in Xinkou honestly defended their positions, hid back in the air defense fortifications, and directly chose not to show their heads, see what you little devils can do to us.

Anyway, when the air raid is launched, the enemy does not dare to brave the artillery fire, and as soon as the air raid is over, we will immediately make up for it and play a tug-of-war with the little devils!

Inside the high-level command of the Japanese army.

Hatatakeroku specifically pointed out: "In the capture of Datong and Zhangjiakou this time, our army should win a quick victory by sneak attack, or carry out a multi-way outflanking detour, and in order to quickly achieve a final victory, we must not be dragged into a protracted tug-of-war by the Eighth Route Army.

I think all of you are well aware of that.

Since the outbreak of the Pacific Theater, our elite troops have been continuously withdrawn, and materials have been continuously exported, and our reserve troops are insufficient to be consumed for a long time.

In addition, the supply line is long, and it is separated from the railway line and highway line, so it is impossible to meet the huge logistics needs of the front line with modern transportation methods, and it is impossible to support the long-distance operations of large troops on the front line.

This weakness was seized by the Eighth Route Army on several occasions and targeted strikes, typical of which was the weekly tactics used by the Eighth Route to defeat the southern chariot troops in the Mengxi area.

All of this, we have to learn from the pain this time and prepare in advance for this.

The materials in Central China take the Tongpu Line to Datong, and North China uses Tianjin Port and then takes the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to Zhangjiakou.

Among them, the Pinghan Line, the Jingpu Line, the Shide Line and the nearby highway lines all transported secondary materials, and these secondary materials were used to paralyze the judgment of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, I have contacted the imperial army in Central China and asked them to assist in making up for the defense of northern Henan, and the communication lines in Jincheng, Changzhi and Taiyuan are all connected, and the troops are sufficient, and the defense force is absolutely sufficient. ”

Not only that, but in order to make this battle fully prepared, Junroku Hahata also gave a special order.

The 6th Division, 101st Division, 106th Division, and 35th Division were ordered to replenish equipment and supplies in advance.

The 71st Division and the 15th Division of the Japanese Army were sent in the direction of Baoding.

The 57th Division and the 8th Division were added to the direction of Peiping.

An additional 17 divisions were sent in the direction of Jinan.

In the final analysis, Tian Junliu, an old devil, was apprehensive by the autumn offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army not long ago, which almost completely overturned the whole of North China, so he especially strengthened the defense of these important lines of communication and cities.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from fighting in a roundabout way, encircling Wei to rescue Zhao, and taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, Shunroku Hata moved all the reserve troops of the Japanese army forward to the front occupation area to enrich the defense.

It's no wonder that this old devil has such confidence.

According to the operational ideas of Junroku Hatata.

In this war, the empire was well prepared with materials, and directly distributed all front-line troops, and the Eighth Route still wanted to attack and disturb logistics according to the old ideas, interspersed with roundabouts, but it was not so easy.

And after this period of time, the Eighth Road in Datong, Zhangjiakou's traffic lines, as well as the warehouses along the line, have basically been explored by the Japanese army.

"We have marked the transportation routes and material transfer points for the Air Force, and after the battle breaks out, we can quickly dispatch fighters to destroy these transportation lines and material warehouses of the Eighth Route Army, so as to weaken the supply ...... of the Eighth Route Army."
