Peiping.

Command of the North China Front.

Because Okamura Ninji went to bed early, it was not until the next morning that Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisue reported to Okamura Ninji the casualties of the First Army from the air raid by the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga!"

"Yoshio Iwamatsu, this shit..."

After reading the telegram, Okamura Ninji was immediately furious.

If Iwamatsu Yoshio was in front of him at this time, Okamura Ninji would definitely not cut the blue and white porcelain this time, but would cut Iwamatsu Yoshio with one sword.

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with aircraft, Iwamatsu Yoshio still did not make any air defense moves, allowing the Locust Army to die so many soldiers in vain.

It's rubbish to the extreme.

Ever since Okamura Ninji let Yoshio Iwamatsu take the blame.

Although Iwamatsu Yoshio still maintained respect for Okamura Ninji on the surface, Iwamatsu Yoshio had already scolded Okamura Ninji's eighteenth generation ancestor dozens of times in his heart.

Ever since Yoshio Iwamatsu learned that he had been dismissed and that Sadachi Yoshimoto was going to take over as commander of the First Army, he began to mess up.

Even if Yoshimoto is killed, Yoshio Iwamatsu is still rotten.

Love what's wrong.

This negative attitude also made the devils of the First Army suffer a big loss.

"Your Excellency, General."

Seizo Arisue reported:

"Lieutenant General Yan Song asked the North China Front Army Command to find a way to eliminate the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise the Locust Army will be in big trouble."

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji's expression became more and more angry.

The airfield of the Eighth Route Army is in the defense area of your First Army, and as a result, you want the North China Front Command to solve the planes of the Eighth Route Army for you?

Other than that.

If the planes of the Eighth Route Army could be killed, I would have solved it a long time ago, and I would have to wait until now?

"Stupid pig!"

However, Okamura Ninji, as the commander of the North China Front Army and a general of the Japanese Army, quickly regained his composure after scolding Yoshio Iwamatsu.

The situation has eroded to such an extent that no matter how angry he is, even if he makes Iwamatsu Yoshio commit suicide by disembowelment, it will not help.

Now the main thing is to think about countermeasures, how to deal with the Eighth Route Army, and bring the situation in North China back.

And more importantly, Okamura Ninji is now in desperate need of a victory to silence the old officers in the base camp who can only sit in the office and play with their mouths.

At present, the North China Front Army has no chance of winning when attacking the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

However, the base camp has been urging Okamura Ninji to attack the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, otherwise it will transfer the 5th Division and other troops and stop sending supplies to the North China Front.

It made Okamura Ningji very stressed.

Even Okamura Ninji wanted to go back to the group of officers in the base camp and say, you can do it.

Okamura Ninji looked at Seizo Arisue: "Yousue-kun, order the intelligence department to quickly find out the location of the Eighth Route Army airfield and the information on the type of aircraft." ”

The last intelligence staff officer of the North China Front had committed suicide by caesarean section.

The pressure on the intelligence staff officers in this term is also very high.

Okamura thought to himself that as long as he figured out the airfield of the Eighth Route Army, even if he borrowed a plane, he would kill the airfield of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey!"

Arisue Seizo turned and left.

After a while, Moritake Tanabe walked in again and reported to Okamura Ninji:

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 20,000 tons of war materials have been ordered to be dispersed and transported to Ji Province."

Looking at Okamura Ninji who was thinking in front of him, Tanabe Moritake's expression moved slightly.

That.

The planes of the North China Front were completely destroyed, and the plane of Sadachi Yoshimoto was shot down.

Okamura Ninji once suspected him, Tanabe Moritake, and Yusue Seizo as high-ranking spies of the Eighth Route Army.

However, he and Arisue Seizo transferred 20,000 tons of war materials, which made the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army swoop, so that Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo were relieved of the suspicion that they were senior spies of the Eighth Route Army.

And the matter of 20,000 tons of war materials and Yoshimoto Sadachi, among the top echelons of the North China Front, only he, Arisue Seizo and Okamura Ninji knew.

Since he and Seizo Arisue are not senior spies of the Eighth Route Army, then only Okamura Ninji remains.

You Okamura Ninji doubts me.

I, Moritake Tanabe, suspect you Okamura Ninji too much, right?

Of course, Tanabe Moritake was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to question Okamura Ninji face to face.

Okamura nodded and looked at Tanabe Shengwu: "Can the supplies arrive in Ji Province before May Day?" ”

At present, the troops participating in the sweep have basically arrived in Ji Province and are waiting for war materials.

"No problem!"

Moritake Tanabe nodded and said:

"I have ordered an increase in the number of armored trains for transporting military trains and escorts, and within half a month, 10,000 tons of combat materials can be transported to Hebei Province and delivered to the hands of the sweeping troops."

"The remaining 10,000 tons of war materiel can only be transported while fighting."

20,000 tons of war materials, even if all of them are transported by military trains, each military train transports 1,000 tons of materials, and it takes 20 military trains to transport them.

But the current situation is that the Eighth Route Army has aircraft and has gained air supremacy.

It was possible to bomb the railroad and road lines of communication controlled by the Japanese army at any time.

Coupled with the terrifying intelligence capability of the Eighth Route Army, if 1,000 tons of combat materials were transported in each military train, wouldn't the war materials be given to the Eighth Route Army's aviation units for bombing in vain?

The original plan was to transport 20,000 tons of war materials to the front line in Hebei Province before May Day, but it could not be completed as planned.

"Okay!"

Okamura Ninji also had to nod helplessly.

……

Three days later.

Li Yunlong, with Wang Dehou and several operational staff officers of the new regiment, as well as the accompanying guards, boarded a transport plane back to the northwest of Shanxi.

Escorted by 4 Sabre fighters, it took about 1 hour to land at Daguzhen Airport.

On the way back to the northwest of Shanxi, Li Yunlong also happened to meet a flying group that went to Taiyuan to carry out bombing.

The two sides staggered through mid-air.

The results of the first day of the flight brigade were relatively large, and after the devils were prepared, the results in the next few days were much smaller.

But even so, the flying group has dispatched more than 500 sorties these days, dropping more than 700 tons of explosives on the positions of the Japanese troops around Taiyuan, and killing more than one wing of devil infantry.

But the devil is not stupid, and even smarter.

In the bombing, the experience of air defense was quickly summed up, and although the devils lacked air defense weapons, fewer and fewer soldiers were killed in the bombing every day.

After a successful landing at the airport in Daguzhen.

Li Yunlong, Wang Dehou, and others got into a jeep and were escorted by several trucks full of security personnel to the regimental headquarters in Zhaojiayu.

More than half an hour later, Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou returned to the headquarters of the new regiment.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were in the regiment headquarters, and it seemed that they had just finished lunch.

"Lao Li, are you back?"

When Political Commissar Zhao saw Li Yunlong walk in, his expression was slightly happy, and he asked:

"Have you had lunch?"

"Just got back from headquarters, where are you going to have lunch?" Li Yunlong said, "I'm about to starve to death." ”

Huang Erhu quickly went to the cooking soldiers to bring food, and Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou ate it at the regiment headquarters.

Lunch was white rice with white flowers, hot meat buns, and fresh stir-fried meat and vegetables.

"It's better for our new group of food."

After eating lunch quickly, Li Yunlong's lips were shiny, and he crossed Erlang's legs with emotion.

Wang Dehou, who has been a combat staff officer at the headquarters for a long time, smiled slightly: "Although the food at the headquarters is much better than before, it is far from the new regiment. ”

Since the 10th Division and the other four divisions swept away the northwest of Shanxi, almost half a year has passed, and the food of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi has not yet been eaten, and the grain reserves can be eaten for at least a few more years.

At this moment, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo opened the curtain and walked in.

Zhao Gang couldn't wait to ask: "Lao Li, you went to the headquarters for three days, what did the head of the headquarters say?" ”

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

"Of course it's a big counteroffensive."

"Has the head of the headquarters agreed?"

Zhao Gang secretly scolded this kid in his heart for asking knowingly, and he likes to sell Guanzi.

"Of course I agreed." The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth turned upward, "Let's go out of the horse, can the head of the headquarters disagree?" ”

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of excitement in each other's eyes.

"Great!" Xing Zhiguo clenched his fists fiercely, and his tone was excited, "Our commanders and fighters have been waiting for this day for a long time, and they are thinking about counterattacking the devil all the time. ”

Zhao Gang also looked a little excited.

Although the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province has strong combat effectiveness, the main force of more than 80,000 elites, plus the main force of about 100,000 recruits.

A frontal attack on the main force of about 100,000 Japanese troops in Shanxi can also be won.

But the losses will be relatively large, and the devil can't win the Eighth Route Army and still run.

So.

The Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province could not act alone, and it needed the consent of the headquarters, as well as the cooperation of the main force of the 129th Division in the southeast of Shanxi Province and other fraternal military regions, so that the chances of winning this battle would be very great.

"Who's the commander-in-chief?"

Zhao Gang asked:

"The commander-in-chief of this battle can't be you kid again, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Li Yunlong smiled: "That's right, it's me, this time it was the head of the headquarters who took the initiative to let me be the commander-in-chief of this big counteroffensive, let's not do it!" ”

The head of the headquarters also got the sweetness from the last offensive battle.

Not only the head of the headquarters, but even the division commander, brigade commander and all the commanders and fighters of the 129th Division who participated in the battle tasted the sweetness.

The steel helmets with excellent anti-stray bullet and anti-shrapnel performance have been unanimously praised by the commanders and fighters of the 129th Division, and many soldiers have survived on the battlefield because they wore steel helmets.

The battlefield airdrop supplies and reimbursement of weapons and ammunition made the division commander take the lead in suggesting to the commander that Li Yunlong, a kid, be the commander-in-chief of this major counteroffensive.

Once they have tasted the sweetness of war resupply and reimbursement of weapons and ammunition, who doesn't want to taste the second and third times?

The division commander is not exempt from vulgarity.

Chief of Staff Wang smiled slightly: "Let me tell you another good news, our Eighth Route Army is preparing to establish an aviation school, and the head of the headquarters has elected the regiment commander to be the first principal of the aviation school." ”

"Really?"

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo's eyes were full of surprise!

Li Yunlong flattened his mouth and looked unhappy: "I didn't want to be the principal of this aviation school, but the division commander, chief of staff and chief of staff insisted on letting me be, and I could only reluctantly agree, after all, it was a task assigned to us by the organization." ”

Zhao Gang couldn't help but pout, the principal of the Eighth Route Army Aviation School, what an honor?

This kid still looks unhappy?

But Zhao Gang, who soon understood Li Yunlong, knew that he was screaming, if he hadn't been able to beat Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang would have wanted to hammer this dog's day.

Li Yunlong asked, "By the way, has Boss Chen come to the regimental headquarters?" ”

Zhao Gang shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly took out the radio intercom from the cabinet, ready to contact Boss Chen, the business he earned a few days ago has not yet been received.

Gotta hurry up and get the aviation school up.
