Nine days later.

Peking Airport.

A Japanese KI57 transport plane, escorted by two Nakajima fighters, landed on the runway of the airfield.

The KI57 transport aircraft, also known as the Mitsubishi Type 100 transport aircraft, is based on the Type 97 bomber, and the power plant and frame of the two models are identical.

The door of the plane was opened, and the ground crew of the devil hurriedly set up the ladder.

Dressed in a yellow robe, wearing glasses, and wearing a mustache under his nose, Gu Shoufu took the lead in walking down the ladder with a lieutenant general's sword.

The chief of staff of the North China Front, Tanabe Moritake, and the deputy chief of staff, Seizo Arisue, who were preparing to receive them, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Gu Shoujun has traveled a long way!"

"A banquet and a singer have been arranged, and you will be able to wash the dust for Your Excellency."

Tanabe Moritake, who is also a lieutenant general, said in a deep voice.

Gu Shoufu glanced at it, and saw that Okamura Ninji didn't come to the airport to pick him up in person, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

But after thinking about it, Okamura Ninji's military rank is a general, and his own military rank is only a lieutenant general.

Letting a senior general pick up a lieutenant general at the airport is indeed a bit of a loss of points.

Immediately, Gu Shoufu snorted coldly in his heart, if it were not for the fact that he had ordered too many Chinese to be killed in Jinling, the base camp transferred him back to China for fear of arousing international public opinion.

Otherwise, with his qualifications and military exploits, he would have been promoted to a general and become the commander of a certain front army.

It's also your turn to play prestige with Okamura Ninji?

The position of commander of the North China Front, I'm afraid you Okamura Ningji won't be able to do it for long.

This time, Gu Shoufu led the observation group to inspect the headquarters of the North China Front Army and several armies under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army.

In fact, he came to seize the position of commander of the North China Front of Okamura Ninji.

The Ishihara faction applied to the Locust for Kosuo to replace the commander of the North China Front.

However, Okamura Ninji was quite talented, and the locust was still hesitating, so he sent Kosuo to North China to understand the enemy's situation.

After Gu Shoufu learned about the enemy's situation, he would see if he could formulate a good plan for reorganizing public order and solve the problem of the Japanese army in North China.

At present, the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses in North China, and a large number of soldiers and war materials have been transported to North China, but they have lost successive battles, which makes the cabinet and the locust very dissatisfied.

If Gujuo's security plan is good, then the cabinet and the Locust will let Gujuo succeed Okamura Ninji as the commander of the North China Front.

As for Okamura Ninji, he will be transferred back to his homeland and become a military senator, and then transferred to the reserves.

Although the treatment is very good, there is no real power.

Received by Tada Jun and Seizo Arisue, Kojuo and two major generals, as well as several Osa and other entourage, got into a thickened armored car and went to the Japanese headquarters in Beiping City.

When he was catching the wind and washing the dust, Okamura Ninji still did not show up.

During the banquet, Kojuo knowingly asked why he didn't see Okamura Ninji, and Tanabe Moritake replied that General Okamura Ninji was busy.

If it were him, and someone came to seize the position of commander of his North China Front, he would definitely not give a good face, and he might even secretly arrange someone to assassinate him.

Thinking of this, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum.

Gu Shoufu said: "Tanabe-kun, I heard that the loss rate of the locust generals of your North China Front Army is very high, and I will go to Taiyuan, where the First Army is stationed, in three days......

This time, Gu Shoufu focused on the First Army and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

The devil mainly wants to solve the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin and the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin.

In order to solve the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province and the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province, a detailed battle plan was formulated, which was also the purpose of Gu Shoufu's trip.

"Gu Shoujun can rest assured." Tanabe Moritake had a look on his chest, "I have already greeted the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Iwamatsu Yoshio, at that time, the 41st Division of the First Army will be deployed around Wusu Airport, as soon as the plane lands, the most elite special team of the First Army will protect Gu Shoujun 24 hours a day, and Gu Shoujun will not have to worry about safety when he arrives in Taiyuan." ”

"Yo Si! There is Lao Tanabe-kun and there is Sue-kun. ”

Kotoshi raised his glass and saluted Moritake Tanabe and Seisi Arise, and then drank the sake in the glass.

……

Two days later, at night.

The moon stars are scarce.

Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo were at the entrance of Dagu Town, seeing off the team on the mission.

This mission was personally led by Grand Master Li.

Since it was not to attack Taiyuan, the mission itself was not very dangerous, so Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo all agreed to Li Yunlong's going.

Extending from the highway in Dagu Town to the direction of Zhaojiayu, more than 100 Jiefang brand cars are ready, and behind the butts of forty cars in front of them, they are all dragging an M1939 37-mm anti-aircraft gun.

The body of each car was loaded with a new regiment of fighters, Erlikon 20mm machine guns, and ammunition.

As for the mules and military horses, there are two cavalry battalions, which have already taken the lead and are heading south along the Tongpu road.

Li Yunlong looked at the car team in front of him with a satisfied expression.

At the moment, the new regiment is extremely mobile.

In just a few hours, the machine gun battalion and the anti-aircraft gun battalion can be transported more than 100 kilometers away.

"Two days later, the devil's Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu and two major generals, as well as several Dazuo observation groups, will arrive at Taiyuan Wusu Airport by plane."

"Our mission is to kill this group of devils!"

“……”

Before setting off, Li Yunlong briefed He Jie, commander of the machine artillery battalion, and Gao Tianyi, commander of the antiaircraft artillery battalion, on the mission.

Knowing that this Gu Shoufu was one of the culprits of the Jinling Massacre, He Jie and Gao Tianyi's expressions were awe-inspiring.

Before leaving, Zhao Gang instructed: "Lao Li, whether you shoot down the devil's plane or not, rush back immediately after firing, if the devil catches up, don't fall in love." ”

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao."

Li Yunlong patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder: "Our old Li will not trade at a loss." ”

He knew that Zhao Gang was worried that he was afraid that his hands would be itchy, so he would lead the troops to provoke the devils in Taiyuan.

Li Yunlong didn't even have this idea in his heart.

The current Taiyuan is no better than the Taiyuan when he led the troops to attack, and the current Taiyuan defense is a bit perverted.

Although the firepower of the machine gun battalion and the anti-aircraft gun battalion is very strong, what is the difference between this firepower and looking for death when it is used to attack Taiyuan?

Hearing Li Yunlong say this, Zhao Gang suddenly felt relaxed.

Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou also came up and said a few words.

Li Yunlong jumped into a jeep and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

Immediately, the jeep started and drove towards Tongpu Highway, and the Jiefang brand car behind it followed at a constant speed.

……

Early the next morning.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

"Tomorrow at noon, Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu will lead the observation group to arrive at Taiyuan Wusu Airport by plane!"

Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at the commanders of the 41st Division, Shimizu and Yamamoto Kazuki, and said in a deep voice:

"Qing Shui-kun, you immediately assemble the 40th Division and deploy within 10 kilometers of Wusu Airport!"

"Yamamoto-kun, when the observation group arrives in Taiyuan, the safety of Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu and the observation group will be fully responsible for your special team!"

"Hey!" Kazuki Yamamoto and Shimizu bowed their heads in unison.

Yamamoto Kazuki lowered his head and his expression was slightly stunned.

Another observation group?
