Because the headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region was bitten by the devil cavalry wing.

Therefore, Li Yunlong sent all the fighters and attack planes of the new flying group.

The effect was also immediate, and after a wave of dive bombing and strafing, the Devil Cavalry Wing was completely lost.

Then, the guard battalion of the Jizhong Military Region counter-charged, cooperated with air support, and completely annihilated the 26th Wing of the Devil Cavalry.

The devil cavalry who fled on horseback were also chased by Sabre fighters and A20 attack planes, and were beaten to pieces one by one.

Several waves of dive attacks came down, and some planes had not even finished dropping their bombs.

Thereupon.

Under the order of Li Shaorong, the leader of the flight group, the plane that had dropped the bomb returned to the airport, and the plane that had not finished dropping the bomb looked for the devils on the ground and continued to attack.

……

Northwest of Shanxi.

Zhao Jiayu.

New regiment, regimental headquarters.

"Regiment commander, the communications squad sent to the Jizhong Military Region has just sent a telegram back."

Wang Dehou pinched a telegram with a smile on his face, walked up to Li Yunlong, and reported:

"With the cooperation of our flight brigade, the guard battalion of the Jizhong Military Region completely annihilated the 26th Wing of the Japanese cavalry, captured more than 1,000 military horses and 8 mortars, and District Commander Lu asked the communication squad to send a telegram to thank you."

"Oh?" The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled slightly, "It seems that the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region have made a fortune." ”

"The Jizhong Military Region gave us a new regiment and a Jizhong cavalry regiment, and our Lao Li returned two cavalry regiments and 8 mortars."

"District Chief Lu is not a loss in this transaction!"

Although this military horse Li Yunlong is also a little greedy, he will not reach out to District Chief Lu to ask for it.

When the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment was reorganized into the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New Regiment, it was only about 400 cavalry.

The more than 1,000 military horses captured by the Jizhong Military Region are enough to expand two cavalry regiments, but they are not cavalry reinforcement regiments like the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.

The central Hebei region is rich, and it is no problem to raise two cavalry regiments.

The Jizhong Cavalry Regiment was transferred to the new regiment, mainly because the Jizhong Military Region could not get military horses.

"In the past three days, our flight brigade has been dispatched every day to reinforce the counter-sweep of the Jizhong Military Region."

Wang Dehou reported again:

"Every day, about 1,500 casualties are inflicted on the devils, and some of the devils' war materials are blown up along the way."

"I think the North China Front's sweeping operation against the Jizhong Military Region will soon go bankrupt."

Li Yunlong nodded, a smile on his face.

The firepower of the new flying group was still somewhat beyond Li Yunlong's expectations.

This is still the result of the devils scattered to sweep up, if the devils are like today, concentrate their forces to sweep, the results of the flying brigade will be even greater.

"It's refreshing to have air supremacy to fight!"

Li Yunlong sighed, and then looked at the watch in his hand:

"Today is the day when the second batch of pilots and planes arrive at Yangcun Airport, calculate the time, it should be almost there, right?"

Wang Dehou nodded, with a smile on his face: "After the second batch of pilots and planes are stationed at Yangcun Airport, the 15 fighters and 25 bombers at Yangcun Airport can also go to cooperate with the anti-sweeping operations of the Jizhong Military Region, and the casualties of the devils will be even greater!" ”

"Haha..."

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "The combination of 35 fighters and 45 bombers is enough for a sweeping devil to drink a pot." ”

Then.

Li Yunlong looked at the map on the table, there was a lively fight in Jizhong, and the devils in Shanxi...

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

On the wall of the battle hall is a huge map of the Jizhong region.

From the map.

Several large armies of the Japanese army have already entered the territory of the Eighth Route Army, and the organs and units of the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region are being forced into the central area of the Jizhong base area, and the Eighth Route will soon fall into a crowded and passive situation.

However, the actual situation is that the attacking troops from all walks of life have been frantically bombed by planes of the Eighth Route Army in the past two days, and the losses are not small.

The logistical supply lines were also bombed by planes of the Eighth Route Army, and the logistics units had to transport combat materials at night and rest in concealment during the day.

At this moment, Seizo Arisue walked in quickly and reported to Okamura Ninji:

"Your Excellency, the casualties of the attacking forces in the first two days have been counted."

"How many casualties?" Okamura Ninji pushed his glasses, his face expressionless.

"According to the casualty statistics of various units, in just two days, the sweeping troops have suffered about 3,000 casualties." There is a report from Seizan Sue.

"3,000 casualties?" Okamura Ninji frowned suddenly.

The casualties were far from what he had expected, and had never been seen before, with nearly one infantry wing killed and wounded at the beginning of the sweep.

"Hey!" "The vast majority of casualties came from aerial bombs and incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Tanabe Moritake's face was ugly, which meant that the Japanese sweep troops suffered an average of 1,500 casualties per day.

"Your Excellency, General." Tanabe Moritake's tone was solemn, "This sweep, do you want to continue?" ”

The Japanese army's sweeping troops in the Jizhong Military Region totaled more than 30,000 people, and there were more than 20,000 puppet troops.

According to the rate of casualties of the bombing, it would not take more than a month for the sweeping Japanese troops to be finished by the planes of the Eighth Route Army.

Sweep?

And sweep a fart.

At this moment, Hakuo Kitani, a communications staff officer, held a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly and reported to Okamura Ninji: "Report to the commander, the commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Major General Sakuma, is in an emergency!" ”

Okamura Ningji waved his hand and said, "Read!" ”

Moritake Tanabe and Arisue Sei Santon, who were next to him, looked at Osamu Kitani, but they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Thought that the 4th Cavalry Brigade had found some important target.

After all, the 4th Cavalry Brigade is highly mobile, comes and goes like the wind, and can quickly catch up with the Eighth Route Army.

"Hey!"

Osamu Kitani picked up the telegram and read:

"The 26th Cavalry Wing of the 4th Cavalry Brigade swept to the Wangjia Village area of Xiao County, engaged a reinforced battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and was attacked by more than 40 aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

Arisue Seizo: "What did you say?" ”

Tanabe Moritake: "All the jade of the 26th Cavalry Wing is broken?" ”

Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arise had a look of disbelief and shock on their faces.

Osamu Kitani suddenly bowed his head: "Hey! ”

Major General Sakuma was leading the main force of the 4th Cavalry Brigade to search and advance into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army, when he received a telegram from Kazuaki Ohara saying that there was a big fish there.

However, when Major General Sakuma led the main cavalry force to Wangjia Village.

I didn't see the big fish of the Eighth Route Army, only the corpses of the 4th Cavalry Brigade and the scene of being burned to ashes.

Angry, Sakuma pulled out the major general's sword and slashed indiscriminately.

Moreover, on the way to reinforce the 26th Cavalry Wing, the main force of the 4th Cavalry Brigade was bombed by the planes of the Eighth Route Army, and the losses were not small.

"Your Excellency, General!" Tanabe Moritake's face was solemn, he looked at Okamura Ninji and asked again, "This sweep, will it continue?" ”

"How?" Okamura Ninji looked at Tanabe Moritake with cold eyes, "Tanabe-kun, do you want to go down?" ”

Tanabe Moritake was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Don't dare!" ”

Seizo Sue watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking that Tanabe Moritake, a fool, actually dared to contradict Okamura Ningji.

"The casualties of the locust army are heavy, but they are acceptable."

Okamura Ninji was expressionless, and his tone was indifferent:

"Order the sweeping force to speed up the dispersal and sweeping attack, and compress the Eighth Route Army to the triangle formed by the Hutuo River, the Fuyang River and the Shide Road."

"Then, all the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army rushed forward to start a white-knuckle battle with the Eighth Route Army."

"This battle."

"We want to use the tactics of the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Eighth Route Army!"

In the past, the Eighth Route Army, in the battle to prevent being bombed by Japanese aircraft, narrowed the gap between the weapons of the two sides, and generally rushed up to engage the Japanese army in white-knuckle combat during the battle.

And now, times have changed, and the Eighth Route Army has gained air supremacy in North China.

Okamura Ninji had to resort to the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

This sweep of the Jizhong Military Region was initiated by Okamura Ningji and disobeying the orders of the base camp.

If it ends like this, it will be tantamount to slapping yourself hard, and your face will be swollen by yourself.

"Hey!"

Moritake Tanabe, Seizo Arisue and Osamu Kitani bowed their heads in unison.

……

At the same time.

Southeast of Jin.

Yangcun Airport.

Today is the day when 50 flight cadets drove 50 planes back to Yangcun Airport.

The chief, chief of staff, division commander, brigade commander, and a large number of heads of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army came to Yangcun Airport early to wait.

In the tower of the airport, the chiefs did not chat, but looked at the watches in their hands from time to time.

Half past two in the afternoon.

It was the time for the pilot and the plane to arrive in Yangcun, and there were still ten minutes to go.

Ding Ding Ding –

At this moment, the phone in the tower room rang, and a staff officer picked it up casually: "Hey, this is Yangcun Airport." ”

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

"Okay, I know, I'll report to the chief!"

The staff officer hung up the phone, walked quickly to the chief and the chief of staff, gave a military salute, and reported:

"Report to the chief, the head of the Jizhong Military Region Lu District reported that the military region's guard battalion, with the cooperation of the new regimental flight brigade, completely annihilated the 26th Wing of the Japanese cavalry, captured more than 1,000 military horses, 8 mortars, and hundreds of cavalry rifles..."

The caller was naturally not District Chief Lu, but from the headquarters of Liao County.

District Mayor Lu sent a telegram to the headquarters, and the staff officers at the headquarters called Yangcun Airport to report the situation to the head of the headquarters.

"What?"

"Annihilated the 26th Cavalry Wing?"

"Great!"

"Well done!"

The leaders suddenly smiled.

The 4th Cavalry Brigade was transferred to Hebei Province to deal with the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Cavalry Regiment and the 129th Division Cavalry Regiment in southern Hebei.

The chief of staff smiled: "The flying brigade of the new regiment has made meritorious service again this time!" ”

The leaders all nodded in agreement.

Although the guard battalion of the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters has strong combat effectiveness, when it encounters the cavalry wing of the devils, it can only run.

It's impossible to beat.

The chiefs knew very well that the 26th Cavalry Wing, which could completely annihilate the devils, and the flying brigade of the new regiment played a major or even decisive role.

"With air support, fighting is exciting!"

One of the chiefs sighed emotionally, clenched his fist in his hand, and said in a tone of emotion.

The leaders are looking forward to the upcoming planes and pilots more and more.
