Whether the offensive to the northwest of Jin will continue as originally planned is a question.

Okamura Ninji first thought about it, and then looked at Tanabe Moritake: "Tanabe-kun, what do you think?" ”

Tanabe Moritake's heart was slightly cold, knowing that this was Okamura Ninji testing him, he carefully considered the language, and then said:

"For the sake of safety, the lowly advice is to reformulate the battle plan."

"Why?" Okamura asked expressionlessly.

Although Moritake Tanabe said the reason, it was not enough,

After all, it took Okamura nearly a month to formulate a sweeping operation plan in the northwest of Jin, so how could it be said that it would be changed?

I am afraid that it will take nearly another month to reformulate the battle plan, and by then the Eighth Route Army will be more fully prepared, and the difficulty of sweeping will be greatly increased.

"Your Excellency, General!"

Tanabe Moritake said: "Although only you, me, Yousuejun, and several division commanders who participated in the sweep know about this sweep of the bandit area in the northwest of Shanxi, but it is not excluded that the information has been leaked, Your Excellency the commander can think about it carefully, since Ohashi Changan has no access to the fishing plan, then who among them knows both the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi and the fishing plan?" ”

"Tanabe-kun." Okamura Ninji's eyes flashed: "Are you suspicious of the end of the king?" ”

Those division commanders must not know the whereabouts of Miyano Road.

The true content of the fishing plan is also not known, so the sweep and sweep plan will certainly not be leaked from several division commanders.

If the raid plan was really leaked, then it must have been the person who leaked Lieutenant General Michiichi Miyano's whereabouts and the fishing plan.

He Okamura Ninji naturally can't be an internal ghost, as for the remaining two suspects, Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake and Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisue, it is difficult to say who is a spy.

Tanabe Moritake said: "I don't suspect that there is a Mojun, I'm just analyzing rationally." ”

"There is no doubt that there is a Mojun." Okamura Ninji suddenly looked at Tanabe Moritake and asked in a sharp tone, "Are you doubting me?" ”

"Don't dare!" Tanabe Shengwu's breath was stagnant, why didn't His Excellency the Secret Dao General play his cards according to the routine?

How dare I doubt Your Excellency?

But when he said this, it was tantamount to roasting himself on the fire, and he didn't doubt Okamura Ninji and Yusue Seizo, was he doubting himself?

Kuribayashi Tadamichi on the side was speechless, how could he feel that the atmosphere at the North China Front Headquarters was a little strange?

A good offensive sweep and fishing plan actually turned into a palace fight, and everyone was suspicious of each other.

Even he Kuribayashi Tadamichi was also involved, and he deliberately pretended to be sick when he knew it, and did not take over the command of the fishing plan.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.

Okamura Ningji suddenly laughed: "Hehe, the person who leaked the fishing plan and Lieutenant General Miyano, I will definitely find him out and crush him to ashes, but it is absolutely impossible to leak the sweeping plan to attack the northwest of Jin, because I believe in you and Yousujun, so the sweep of the bandit area in the northwest of Jin is still carried out according to the original battle plan!" ”

After speaking, Okamura Nenji waved his hand and motioned for Moritake Tanabe and Tadamichi Kuribayashi to step down.

Tanabe Moritake and Kuribayashi Tadamichi bowed their heads in unison, then turned around and walked out.

When the backs of the two disappeared from view, Okamura Ninji's expression suddenly changed, and he returned to indifference and gloom.

He didn't fully believe in Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arise.

If he has a choice, then he will definitely reformulate the battle plan.

However, now all the planes supporting the 2nd Flying Division of the North China Front have been destroyed, and even the Beiping, Baoding, and Shimen airfields have been bombed by pursuing enemy planes, and the runways have been blown up.

The people of the northwest of Shanxi are likely to cross the Yellow River west and run away, and once the people of the northwest of Jin are safe, the Eighth Route Army will have no weakness.

It is simply wishful thinking to destroy the Eighth Route Army with these 5 divisions and 20,000 imperial allies, and even the Eighth Route Army can run away at any time and let the Japanese puppet army pounce.

Even in another month, a sweep will be launched, and when the armies from all walks of life rush into the base area of the Eighth Route in the northwest of Shanxi, the Eighth Route and the common people in the northwest of Shanxi will probably have already finished harvesting the autumn grain and ran away with the grain.

Then his plan to pick out the weakness of the Eighth Route Army could not be implemented.

So, it's not that Okamura Ninji doesn't want to change the battle plan, it's that he has no choice.

In the morning, because more than 80 planes of the 2nd Flying Division were destroyed, Hideki Tojo sent another telegram to scold him.

If this battle can't be resolved as soon as possible in the northwest of Jin, Li Yunlong and the new group, there is really no way to explain to Tojo Hideji and the emperor.

Now Okamura Ninji can only bet that Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo are not spies of the Eighth Route Army.

……

Two days later.

Li Yunlong led his troops back to the base area with the booty.

The bodies of the fallen soldiers were buried on a hill on the edge of the Xinzhou Basin, without even a tombstone, to prevent them from being damaged by the devil puppet army.

However, the General Staff remembered the location and made a good mark, and when the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was won and China was liberated, one day in the future, it would pick up the heroes and go home.

The corpse of the devil was confiscated by the new group, and the devil was kept to collect it himself.

The wounded fighters have been sent to the field hospital, and now the field hospital of the new regiment is full of medicines, although there are not many doctors, but they are sufficient.

On the evening of returning to the northwest of Jin, Li Yunlong ordered the horse meat to be divided.

Although it is now close to September and the weather is not so hot, over time, the horse meat will rot.

The main forces of the new regiment and the soldiers of the various divisions were given horse meat, and even the militia and some ordinary people were given horse meat.

Day 3.

Northwest of Shanxi, Dagu Town.

Li Yunlong was inspecting the defensive positions of the 1st Battalion on the outskirts of Dagu Town.

The defensive positions of the first battalion are well repaired, and the combination of tunnels, anticlines and dark bunkers with crossing, side-firing firepower will definitely make the attacking devils drink a pot.

Suddenly, the high-power walkie-talkie of the correspondent next to him rang, and after the correspondent finished answering the walkie-talkie, he reported to Li Yunlong:

"Report to the regiment commander, Battalion Commander Zhang said that Boss Chen has arrived and is at the regiment headquarters."

Li Yunlong looked overjoyed: "Go back to the regiment headquarters!" ”

At that moment, Li Yunlong hurriedly ran to the highway and jumped into the jeep, Huang Erhu started the jeep and then turned around and drove in the direction of Dagu Town.

About 10 minutes later, with a thud, the jeep's tires left a scratch on the bluestone floor, and then stopped steadily in front of the regimental department.

This was originally the headquarters of the first battalion, but now it has become the headquarters of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters, and saw Yan Shuangying standing in a leather coat and a pair of sunglasses like a javelin nailed to the door.

At the same time, I heard that Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang were entertaining Chen Feng in the outhouse of the regiment headquarters, and the three of them had a very happy conversation.

"Haha, Brother Chen, welcome to the new group to guide the work."

Before anyone stepped into the outhouse of the regiment headquarters, Grand Master Li laughed loudly in a loud voice, and at the same time stepped into the outhouse of the regiment headquarters.

Seeing Li Yunlong walk in, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and Chen Feng stood up, and Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "Sit, sit." ”

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang if he wanted the cooking class to prepare wine and food, and after receiving Zhao Gang's affirmative answer, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng and asked with a smile:

"Haha, Brother Chen, is there any intelligence or is the devil's sweep about to start today?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly: "I came to your group today for three main reasons. ”

"Brother, what are the three things?"

Li Yunlong's expression moved slightly, and he made a gesture of listening, and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

In this Xinzhou Campaign, if it weren't for Boss Chen's intelligence, it would have been difficult for the new regiment to defeat the Lilin detachment, and it would have been almost impossible to kill the devil's plane.

It can be said that the information flowing out of Boss Chen's fingernails can make a fortune for the new group.

"Before I talk about these three things, I want to give you a piece of good news."

Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Zhang Dabiao, and said: "My pilot reported that he had destroyed all the planes and airfields of the Japanese North China Front. ”

After that day's air battle, the devil pilots knew that they were not opponents, so they scattered and fled in a panic, preparing to land at different airports.

Although the Sabre fighter was able to catch up, it deliberately did not shoot it down, and when the devil plane arrived at the airport, the Sabre fighter blew up the airport and the devil plane together.

】

Sabre fighters burned napalm to several airfields in northern China.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Zhang Dabiao all looked happy, and the devil's plane was killed, which means that the people of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment Defense Area can start preparing to cross the river.

It seems that he has to send a telegram to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, but Li Yunlong is not in a hurry at this time, and will entertain Boss Chen first.

"Boss Chen's plane is amazing!"

Zhang Dabiao sincerely admired and praised.

"Battalion Commander Zhang's praise." Chen Feng smiled slightly: "First of all, in this Xinzhou Campaign, Brother Li and Brother Zhao led their troops to destroy 41 tanks of the Japanese army, according to the long-term business, I should pay your regiment 18 75mm mountain guns, in addition, the reimbursement of 17 tanks will also be delivered at noon." ”

According to the negotiated long-term price, the price of a tank wing of the total annihilation of the Japanese army was 2 mountain artillery battalions, that is, 24 75-mm mountain guns.

This Xinzhou campaign did not completely annihilate the Japanese tank wing, and let more than 10 devil tanks go, only 18 millimeter mountain guns.

However, this can be called a relief in the snow for the new regiment, because more than 10 75-mm mountain guns have been taken to prepare for the shelling of the airfield, and they have not been pulled back in the tunnel.

These 18 mountain guns just made up the gap in the new regiment, so that the artillery of the more than 10 75-mm mountain guns had artillery to fight.

Although Li Yunlong's two tank battalions were only destroyed by four tanks in the battle, the devil's plane dived and bombed, and another 13 tanks were blown up.

If Boss Chen's plane hadn't arrived in time, the tank would probably have been blown up by the devil's plane.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong had already ordered the tank crews to stay away from the tanks, so the losses of the tank crews were not large.

"Then thank you Brother Chen, haha."

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth are high, and Zhao Gang is also smiling.

Although 20 tank crews were lost, the guys from the Sword Squadron could make tanks, and when the time came, two battle squads could be divided into tanks.

"This second thing."

Chen Feng took a sip of water from the bowl, moistened his throat, and said: "Regarding the Japanese army's battle plan for sweeping northwest Shanxi this time, I have got some latest information. ”

When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard this, they looked at each other tacitly, and they both saw a strong surprise in each other's eyes.
