The 1st Infantry Wing was hit by an air strike?

Okamura Ninji's eyes were gloomy.

Moritake Tanabe and Arisue Sei looked at each other on three sides, and Mitsuo Nakazawa's cheeks twitched.

Several old devils thought that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army had not moved in the northwest of Shanxi, and that it was a sure thing that the first infantry wing had arrived safely in Datong.

But I never expected that the Eighth Route Army actually called for air support and blew up the entire First Wing.

It's outrageous.

Okamura counted everything, but he didn't count that the Eighth Route Army would call bombers.

The last time a new regiment dispatched bombers and fighters was during the Battle of New Tsun, and after a lapse of April, the Eighth Route Army called for air support again.

In the last operation in the northwest of Jin, the battle was so fierce that the Eighth Route Army did not call bombers and fighters to attack the Japanese army, except for calling for airdrop supplies.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji subconsciously felt that the Eighth Route Army no longer had the ability to call bomber groups and fighters.

Okamura Ninji asked in a deep voice: "Nakazawa-kun, is the wing flag of the First Infantry Wing on the military column?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Nakazawa Sanfu nodded with an extremely ugly face, "The wing flag of the 1st Infantry Wing is kept by the 2nd Infantry Squadron, so it is on that military column." ”

Next, Okamura Ninji didn't say anything more, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The power of the bombers called by the Eighth Route Army, Okamura Ninji was naturally very clear.

It was a real carpet bombing, and there was no grass everywhere it passed, especially the kind of incendiary bombs, which were extremely terrifying.

The wing flag of the first infantry wing is on that military column, which means that the infantry wing with the first number of the Japanese army.

Like the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing, the number of the 1st Infantry Wing has since disappeared......

This had a great impact on the morale of the Japanese army.

Nakazawa Mitsuo's complacent mood was also greatly shaken.

He knew that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was not easy to mess with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to mess with.

The vanguard of the 1st Division, the 1st Wing, was shattered within a few days of arriving in North China?

Perhaps, the first division came to North China and made a wrong choice.

But this is an order from the base camp, and even the Kwantung Army command can't change things, and Mitsuo Nakazawa can't do anything about it.

If it was possible, Sanfu Nakazawa was reluctant to be an opponent with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong.

Such an opponent is really terrible.

You never know how many hole cards and strength your opponent has, and the strength of the enemy you see may be just the tip of the iceberg.

"The Locust Army has defeated the US Pacific Fleet, and the Western Pacific Ocean is already under the control of the Combined Fleet of the Locust Army, so how can there be planes that can carry out bombing activities on the China Continent?"

Tanabe Moritake's face was ugly, and he told Okamura Ninji, Nakazawa Mitsuo, and Yusue Seizo about the doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that the Japanese army has already controlled the western Pacific, and even if the Eighth Route Army's aid channel has airfields and military bases in the coastal waters, it should be exposed after so long.

What the hell is going on?

Okamura Ninji and the others were also confused.

"This should be the air support provided by that aid channel of the Eighth Route Army." There is a sue jingsan said in a deep voice.

After a pause, there was a sue Jingsan and said: "This is the fourth time, the air support of the Eighth Route Army, every time it appears, it will take away a full wing of the Locust Army." ”

For the first time, the air support of the Eighth Route Army appeared, completely annihilating an infantry wing of the 9th Brigade Regiment, and for the second time, a wing of the 2nd Guards Division appeared.

The third appearance completely annihilated the 108th Wing of the Field Artillery, and the fourth appearance was this time, which completely annihilated the 1st Infantry Wing.

"That mysterious man named Chen Feng?"

Okamura Ningji's eyes were gloomy, if it weren't for the person named Chen Feng who provided assistance to the Eighth Route Army, how could the situation in North China be so eroded?

"Chen Feng is likely to be a code name, whether there is such a person or not is not certain."

"The intelligence services have not yet found out the slightest bit about this person."

Moritake Tanabe said with a frown.

"I agree with Tanabe-kun."

Mitsuo Nakazawa glanced at Moritake Tanabe and said:

"Chen Feng is probably a code name, the real force behind Chen Feng is very likely to be the U.S. military, the U.S. military failed at Pearl Harbor this time, so he sent planes to deal with the first wing of the locust army in anger and shame."

"It seems that the locust army was right to attack Pearl Harbor in the United States." Okamura Ninji nodded and snorted coldly, "The U.S. military has long been secretly supporting the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Locust Army. ”

At present, there are only a handful of countries that have the military strength to confront Japan, the first brother in Asia.

In the vicinity of Chinese territory, bombers and fighters could be dispatched to assist the Eighth Route Army in fighting against the Japanese army, and only the beautiful countries and the Soviet Union were the beautiful countries.

The Soviet Union had already signed a non-aggression pact with the Japanese army, and the main force of the Soviet Union was in the middle of a war with the German army, so the Soviet Union would definitely not set up a strong enemy for itself at this time.

Then the only possibility is the US military.

Okamura Ninji snorted coldly again: "That group of waste in the navy, it's been so long, and I haven't even found out the US military base in the coastal waters, it's really a bunch of stupid pigs." ”

He blamed the navy for all this, and blamed the incompetence of the group of naval red deer, which led to the frequent bombing of the army and the loss of four wings in vain.

As a result, a steady stream of aid from the outside world was transported to Shanxi by plane.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ninji looked at Tanabe Moritake: "Tanabe-kun, you write a report as soon as possible and send it to the base camp to report the situation of the first wing being attacked by the air raid, and ask the cabinet to give the navy an order to immediately increase the search for the coastal waters to find and destroy the US military base." ”

"Hey!" Moritake Tanabe bowed his head and said.

Tanabe Moritakeshi understood that Okamura Ninji wanted to shift the responsibility of all the jade shatters of the First Wing to the head of the navy.

Even if we can't shirk all the responsibility, we must let the navy bear part of the responsibility.

The number one Japanese wing was completely annihilated, this is not a trivial matter, if the cabinet and the locust are held accountable, it will be enough for Okamura Ningji to drink a pot.

"Your Excellency, General."

"The first infantry wing has been completely shattered, how should the other troops go to the northwest of Jin next?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa asked in a deep voice.

He knew very well that since the enemy's bombers and fighters could accurately obtain the intelligence of the First Infantry Wing, there was a high probability that the intelligence of the follow-up troops would also be obtained.

By the time the troops of the First Division had not yet reached the northwest of Shanxi, perhaps the First Division had been wiped out by the bombers called by the Eighth Route Army.

Okamura Ningji was also silent, the air support of the Eighth Route Army was simply terrifying, and it came without warning.

Previously, the staff of the North China Front Command had calculated that the air support of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army would only appear once in a few months.

If it is true that the US military is behind the support of the Eighth Route Army, then the US military bases in the coastal waters will probably frequently send planes to reinforce the Eighth Route Army.

Even if the 1st Division is lucky enough to arrive in the northwest of Shanxi, I am afraid that life will not be easy.

Nakazawa-kun put his heart back in his stomach.

"There are many ways for the First Division to reach the northwest of Shanxi safely, just be cautious."

Okamura Ninji gave Mitsuo Nakazawa a reassurance.

What worries Okamura Ninji the most is that if enemy bombers come to attack the North China Front Headquarters, it will be a big problem.

It's not impossible, and it's very likely.

"Your Excellency, General." Nakazawa Sanfu nodded, and then said in a worried tone: "The first infantry wing is all jade, in terms of infantry strength, our first division is probably far lower than the new first regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

The main infantry forces of the 1st Division were the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade.

The 1st Infantry Brigade is under the 1st Infantry Wing and the 49th Infantry Wing, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade is under the 3rd Infantry Wing and the 57th Infantry Wing.

Among them, the 1st Infantry Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing are the most elite units.

It's just that the 1st Infantry Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing were all broken, and even the Wing Flag was destroyed in the battle, which means that the number was lost.

After the original 3rd Infantry Wing was destroyed, the base camp supplemented the 7th Infantry Wing of the 8th Division to the 1st Division.

With the 1st Infantry Wing being wiped out, there are now only 3 infantry wings left in the 1st Division.

The 1st Infantry Wing, which has just passed through the special exercise, is completely capable of beating two or three infantry wings of the second-line division in terms of equipment, combat level, and soldiers' will to fight.

The destruction of the 1st Infantry Wing not only greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division, but also had a great impact on the morale of the 1st Division.

Okamura Ninji also thought of this layer and said, "I will transfer 2 infantry wings from the North China Front Army to the command of your 1st Division. ”

"Then thank you, Your Excellency." Mitsuo Nakazawa bowed his head and thanked him.

At this point, Mitsuo Nakazawa had no choice but to accept the fact that the 1st Wing was completely annihilated.

Hearing the news, Mitsuo Nakazawa lost interest in playing chess with Okamura Ninji, and then turned around and left.

……

Northwest of Shanxi.

Big Lonely Town.

Compared with the gloomy and bleak headquarters of the North China Front, the headquarters of the new regiment was full of laughter.

"Just now Boss Chen sent a telegram."

"His bombers and fighters were about 50 kilometers east of Gaoyang County and completely annihilated the 1st Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army."

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou announced the contents of the telegram in his hand with great joy.

"Hahaha......"

I already knew in my heart that Boss Chen would never miss, and this time it was the same, but when he heard Wang Dehou finish talking about the content of the telegram, Li Yunlong still couldn't help but be happy:

"Well done!"

Although the devils killed by Boss Chen's plane are not counted in the business, the 1st Infantry Wing, one of the most elite of the Japanese army, was killed, which is a day worth celebrating.

It's more to celebrate than the Chinese New Year.

"The 1st Infantry Wing, which provoked a full-scale war between China and Japan, is finally over." Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's so happy." ”

"Regiment commander, are we going to send a telegram saying that we have killed the 1st Infantry Wing?" Chief of Staff Wang Dehou asked.

"Hair, must be haired!" Li Yunlong nodded, "This first infantry wing that provoked the war, I believe that the vast number of Chinese soldiers and civilians have long been looking forward to the annihilation of this group of dogs. ”

This war has been fought so far, because of the millions of casualties caused by this war to the Chinese military and civilians.

The destruction of the 1st Infantry Wing will definitely lift the whole country up.

Soon, Wang Dehou drafted a telegram with passionate words and sharp pen, and after Li Yunlong signed his name, he asked the telegraph operator to send it in clear code.

"When will we have such an aircraft, 30 bombers, plus 10 fighters, one sortie can kill a wing of the Japanese army!" Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment, focused on being different from everyone else, and said with a look of expectation.

"It's coming!" Li Yunlong's expression was also full of expectation, "Boss Chen said that when the flight cadets graduate, there will be an airplane business at that time." ”

Xing Zhiguo said: "So, at most, our flight students will be able to graduate in half a year, and then we will be able to have an airplane?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded.

The flight cadets went to overseas military bases to learn how to fly airplanes in order to kill the business of the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, and they went there in June.

It's mid-to-late December, which means that the flight cadets have half a year to graduate.

With pilots, there will be a business of airplanes at that time.

With pilots and aircraft, whether it is aerial bombs, napalm, or aviation fuel, Boss Chen will provide all-round logistics.

Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang also showed yearning in their expressions.

When the time comes, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army will reach the strongest in history!

Now that the Eighth Route Army has four airfields, it is short of pilots and planes in place.

There is also a quota of 300 tank cadets and 50 flight cadets after killing Lieutenant General Jing Guancheng, but it is later than the first batch, and this batch of tank cadets has successfully returned from graduation.

The last time I killed Lieutenant General Gushofu, there was no quota, and the business price was 24 B4 heavy howitzers and 12 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Xing Zhiguo said again: "After the first division arrives in the northwest of Shanxi, most of them will adopt our tactics to block our new regiment, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Lao Xing, what do you mean?" When Wang Dehou heard this, he thought for a moment and then asked, "The devils of the First Division will use the tactics of tunnels, pillboxes, and artillery towers to block us?" ”

"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo said, "After the devils have tasted our tactics of combining tunnels and bunkers, most of them will use such tactics, which are not easy to deal with." ”

The 10th Division also used this tactic last time, but because the time was too short, the devils did not study the tunnel tactics thoroughly, so it failed.

But after eating a trench and growing wise, the devil is not a fool, and most of them will study this tactic in depth, and in turn deal with the new group.

"Otherwise, let's wait until the First Division has just arrived in the northwest of Shanxi and has not yet gained a stable foothold." Zhao Gang suggested, "Strike first to defeat or even severely damage the First Division?" ”

Zhao Gang also knew that the tunnel tactics were powerful, once the devils spread the tunnels all over the defense line, it would be very troublesome for the new regiment to defeat or even severely damage the first division.

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed, he had also thought about this question, but he didn't think about it so much.

Now that Xing Zhiguo brought it up again, Li Yunlong had to think deeply again.

According to the information provided by Boss Chen, the total strength of the First Division is more than 30,000 people, and there are four artillery wings, including two heavy artillery wings.

At present, the total strength of the new regiment plus the more than 8,000 recruits of the training battalion is almost 30,000.

In terms of strength, it is about the same as the 1st Division, with slightly stronger firepower.

But...... The new regiment is not alone.
