In the following time, there was almost no fighting in the northwest of Jin.

However, the contest between the Eighth Route Army and the armed forces and the Japanese puppet army on the North China Plain never stopped.

Okamura Ninji was ordered by his inner cabinet to be controlled and investigated.

The chief of staff of the North China Front temporarily took over the post of Okamura Ninji and commanded the North China Front to stabilize the current situation.

Although in North China, the Japanese army still had an overall advantage, but the Eighth Route Army was growing rapidly, while the Japanese army had been standing still, and even weakened.

Moreover, with the rise of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest base area of Shanxi, the Japanese army's life in North China became more and more difficult.

Even the days of the First Army were walking on thin ice, and maybe one day the Eighth Route Army in the northwest and southeast of Jin would attack Taiyuan.

With the construction of three airports in the northwest of Shanxi.

More and more food and war materials were transported into the northwest of Shanxi, and every day there were many transport planes and fighter planes of Boss Chen soaring in the skies of northwest Shanxi.

Bags of grain were transported to the airport in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and then distributed by the Eighth Route Army to the common people to ensure that the common people could survive the cold winter without starving.

This is a close second.

One by one, the factory equipment was arranged by Boss Chen to be hoisted over by a super-large helicopter.

Machinery repair plants, cement factories and steel factories in the northwest of Shanxi Province are also in full swing.

In the future, arsenals such as bullet factories, artillery shell factories, gunpowder factories, and artillery factories will also be built one after another.

It's just that the current foundation in the northwest of Shanxi is relatively weak, and there is a serious shortage of relevant technical personnel in the arsenal, so it can be said that there is no one.

This requires Li Yunlong to apply to the headquarters for the transfer of technical personnel.

Other than that.

Yan Laoxi also had a large number of arsenal technicians in his hands, and when the main force of the Jin Sui army retreated from Taiyuan, although the equipment of the arsenal was left, the technicians were all transported away.

According to the intelligence, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew that these technicians were currently idle in Qiulin Town, Shaanxi.

When the time comes, Li Yunlong plans to use a batch of weapons, equipment or food to exchange these arsenal technicians from Yan Laoxi to the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal.

Because of this group of arsenal technicians, they can continuously produce weapons and ammunition, and they will not lose money.

Li Yunlong estimated that with the technical personnel supporting the headquarters, it should be enough for the time being.

The arsenal at the headquarters has a foundation, coupled with the increase in the production line of the arsenal, and now the scale of technicians in the southeast of Shanxi Arsenal has nearly 20,000 people, directly catching up with Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in transferring a group of arsenal technicians from the southeast of Shanxi to the northwest of Shanxi.

The scale of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal may be the scale of an ordinary arsenal in Japan, but for the Eighth Route Army, it was unthinkable before.

At present, the arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi Province is mainly engaged in the production of Japanese weapons.

Later, the arsenals in the northwest of Shanxi Province mainly produced equipment produced by large foreign factories.

Of course, the arsenal also needs corresponding raw materials, such as iron ore, copper ore, etc.

This is a hugely complex project.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

Okamura Ninji carried the command saber at his waist, and under the protection of a group of guard masters, he stepped into the gate of the headquarters with a gloomy expression.

As for the Japanese base camp, after more than 20 days of repeated investigations, no evidence of Okamura Ninji's betrayal of the empire was found.

If you want to put it aside in normal times, let alone a telegram, even a hundred such telegrams will not affect Okamura Ninji.

But.

A series of battle plans drawn up by the North China Front Command were leaked, as well as the whereabouts of Michiichi Miyano and Kojuo were leaked and died.

All this shows that in the upper echelons of the North China Front Command, there is definitely a high-ranking agent of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with such a deciphered telegram, Okamura Ninji was directly regarded as the key object of suspicion.

That's why when he returned to Tokyo, he was arrested as soon as he got off the plane.

However, Okamura Ninji is a general of the Japanese army after all, and he is also a powerful general with heavy troops.

With a telegram alone, without substantial evidence, it is impossible to bring down Okamura Ninji.

Li Yunlong also knew this very well, so he didn't think about bringing down Okamura Ningji, just thinking that if he could disgust Okamura Ningji.

And.

The headquarters was also very cooperative, and sent a telegram back to Li Yunlong, saying that it was necessary to protect the underground party member Comrade Okamura Ningji, who was the key to the Eighth Route Army's recovery of North China.

Not surprisingly, both telegrams were intercepted by the Japanese secret service in North China.

The North China Secret Service sent both telegrams to the base camp, which further increased the cabinet's suspicion of Okamura Ninji.

When he first got off the plane and was controlled, Okamura Ninji was still a little confused.

He also thought that the smile he showed when he heard the news of Gu Shoufu's death was secretly reported to the headquarters by the communications staff officer.

Thinking about it carefully, his smile was indeed a little weird, an imperial officer with outstanding military achievements and qualifications worthy of a general was shattered.

After hearing the news, my first reaction was not to bow my head to express my condolences, but to almost laugh out loud......

Anyone would feel that something was wrong.

It wasn't until a few days after being controlled that Okamura Ninji knew that he had been arrested because of two telegrams exchanged between the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

In the telegram, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army affectionately referred to him as Comrade Okamura Ninji, an underground party member.

Okamura Ningji's face was full of confusion, I am a dignified general of the Imperial Japanese Army, when did I become the underground party of the Eighth Route Army?

How did I not know it myself?

But soon, Okamura Ningji reacted, this is Li Yunlong's discord plan!

After repeated investigations by Japan's top intelligence department, coupled with Tojo Hideki's maneuvering, Okamura Ninji cleared the suspicion.

But after being controlled, Okamura Ninji felt extremely nauseous, as if he had eaten a soak of dog shit.

The arrest of Okamura Ninji was ordered by the locust, and in the end, the intelligence services did not find anything.

The locust reprimanded the intelligence department and punished several officers before the matter subsided.

Otherwise, Okamura Ninji is a powerful general, and he was controlled for no reason, but he didn't find anything, and he definitely couldn't explain it to Okamura Ninji.

However, Okamura Ninji knew that if it weren't for the Celestial Locust and the cabinet's instructions, the Imperial Intelligence Department would never dare to put him under house arrest.

But even so, Okamura Ninji was completely loyal to Japan and the locusts.

He blamed all this on Li Yunlong's head, Okamura Ningji never thought that he could have such a great killing intent towards a person.

For Li Yunlong, Okamura Ningji couldn't wait to put him to death, and he pulled his skin and tendons to light the sky lantern.

Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue, as well as a group of staff officers, personally greeted them at the airport.

Fearing that Okamura Ninji would be assassinated, the North China Front Command arranged a large number of men around the Beiping airfield, as well as three real and false armored convoys.

It wasn't until Okamura Ninji stepped into the headquarters that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army is really powerful, and it is not clear that he Okamura Ninji does not want to die.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Please use tea!"

A guard brought the tip of the soaked high-grade Shinyo hair to Okamura Ninji.

Okamura Ninji picked up the teacup and blew it, took another sip gently, and then put down the teacup and said to Tanabe Moribu:

"Tanabe-kun, pass on my order and immediately convene a combat meeting."

Tanabe Moritake looked stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Your Excellency, General, the combat meeting?" ”

"That's right, the combat meeting." Okamura Ninji tilted his head slightly, and looked at Tanabe Moritake with sharp eyes, "What, is there a problem with Tanabe-kun?" ”

"Hey!"

Moritake Tanabe bowed his head, turned around and walked away quickly.

Ten minutes later, in the war hall of the North China Front, a group of devil officers were sitting in danger, and Okamura Ninji walked into the war hall quickly.

A group of devil officers hurriedly stood up and bowed their heads in salute.

Okamura Ninji pressed his hands down, and then a group of devil officers sat back on their chairs, and Okamura Ninji sat down and said:

"This time I went back to Tokyo, and finally persuaded the base camp to withdraw the first division from the Kwantung Army to the northwest of Shanxi Province to deal with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

This time, Okamura Ninji returned to Tokyo and was secretly controlled, and Tanabe Moritake did not know that His Excellency the Commander had been arrested.

Okamura Ninji will not take the initiative to say it, after all, this is not a glorious thing.

Speaking of which, this time Okamura Ninji can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

After Japan's highest intelligence department found out that Okamura Ninji had no problems, with the approval of Tojo Hideji, the Japanese army base camp agreed to Okamura Ninji's plan.

In addition to mobilizing the first division of the Japanese army to confront the northwest of Shanxi, a second-line division will also be mobilized from the mainland to the First Army to enhance the strength of the First Army.

Yo West!

A group of devil officers, including Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo, looked shocked.

With the first division out and a second-line division mobilized, I am afraid that the life of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin will not be easy.

In the eyes of a group of devil officers, the current First Division is an invincible existence.

Moritake Tanabe asked, "What about the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing that the 1st Division has already lost?" ”

"The troops lost by the 1st Division, on the base camp, will be replenished as soon as possible." Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice, "In addition, the base camp has agreed to equip the 1st Division with 100-type submachine guns to enhance the firepower of the soldiers of the 1st Division. ”

At present, the semi-automatic rifles captured by the Japanese army of the Eighth Route Army are still being studied, and the semi-automatic rifles of the Japanese army have not yet been produced.

In this way, the logistics department of the Japanese army was still scolding.

However, because it was an order from the base camp, the logistics department had no choice but to follow the order no matter how much it had an opinion.

Okamura continued: "The base camp will also mobilize 100 fighters and bombers to our North China Front Army to reorganize the North China Front Aviation Force. ”

"In addition, on the Manchurian side, the paratroopers of the Locust Army are also stepping up their training."

"In the future, it will also be involved in the attack on the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi."

During the time when Okamura Ninji was arrested, although he was not free, the treatment was still very good.

He has been thinking about how to attack the base area in the northwest of Shanxi.

The Eighth Route Army was good at using tunnels and anti-slope tactics, coupled with thickened reinforced concrete bunkers, even if the 10th Division tried its best, it did not attack the base of the Eighth Route Army, but the 10th Division suffered heavy losses in the attack, resulting in a counterattack by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and a great defeat.

If the airdrop method is used to throw paratroopers into the base area, there will be a chance to attack the base area of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province under internal and external attacks.

As long as you attack the base of the Eighth Route Army, then it will be easy to do.

Okamura glanced at everyone and did not say the battle plan for the Japanese army's imminent attack on Southeast Asia.

Because there are spies of the Eighth Route Army in the North China Front, once this information leaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When the locust army attacking Southeast Asia is victorious and obtains a large number of combat materials and resources, then the base camp will have surplus troops and combat materials to use against the Eighth Route Army in North China.

And the 1st Division came to the northwest of Jin, not to destroy the new regiment.

At present, although the combat effectiveness of the First Division is very strong, it is almost impossible to destroy the new regiment, because the first division has so many troops, and the last time the five divisions and regiments jointly attacked the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, they were unsuccessful, let alone the first division?

Therefore, the mission of the 1st Division was the same as that of the 36th Division, which was almost completely annihilated by the new regiment.

Go to the northwest of Shanxi to see the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, curb the development of the new regiment, and then mobilize troops and combat materials to clean up the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army when they turn around.

"Your Excellency Commander, Datong has been recaptured by the 26th Division of the Locust Army from the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"But ......"

"The two reconnaissance planes that went to reconnoiter in the northwest of Shanxi were shot down by the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi."

Moritake Tanabe reported to Okamura Ninji.

More than 10 days ago, the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Mongolia attacked Datong, and the people in Datong who were willing to go with the Eighth Route Army had already arrived in the northwest of Shanxi.

There was only one cavalry company of the new regiment in Datong City, which was naturally no match for the 26th Division of the Japanese army.

Therefore, when the 26th Division of the Japanese Army came to attack, the cavalry company of the new regiment quickly left Datong and returned to the northwest of Shanxi.

As for the devil's two reconnaissance planes, when Boss Chen arranged for the transport plane to deliver food, the two reconnaissance planes collided, and then they were shot down by the escort fighters.

"As long as Datong is recaptured, it's just two reconnaissance planes, and if it is shot down, it will be shot down!"

Okamura nodded.

He was not at all distressed that these two reconnaissance planes were shot down, because they were borrowed from Anan Weiji.

The North China Front is about to replenish its aircraft, and it will have air combat capability at that time.

However, Okamura was still terrified by the sudden appearance of enemy fighters and bombers.

The enemy's fighter planes are extremely powerful in air combat, and the fighters carry a lot of aerial bombs, and their destructive power is extremely terrifying.

This time, Okamura Ninji had to find a way, these planes could not be eliminated again, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the base camp.

"Tanabe-kun, can Datong Airport still be used?"

Okamura Ninji looked at Moritake Tanabe and asked.

Tanabe Moritake replied: "Datong Airport has been destroyed after the Eighth Route Army finished transporting war materials. ”

The Eighth Route Army's use of transport planes to transport war materials in northern Shanxi was also known to the North China Front Command.

However, the Japanese army had no way, the transport planes of the Eighth Route Army were escorted by fighter planes, and there were a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and even the Kwantung Army did not dare to send bombers to bomb the airfields at will.

I could only watch as the Eighth Route Army airlifted 5,000 tons of war materials from northern Shanxi to southeastern Shanxi.

"It doesn't matter." Okamura Ninji snorted coldly and said, "Sooner or later, the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out by the Locust Army, so let them be proud for a while." ”

……

(I'm sorry, but I'm very busy during this time, and I'll be back to two shifts a day as soon as possible.) ）
