Headquarters.

War Hall.

The chief of staff walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand, and said in a happy tone.

"Chief, there was good news from YA just now!"

Yesterday, after the chief and chief of staff went to the Wusu airport to visit and receive the goods, they returned to the headquarters in the inner city in an armored car.

Today, Boss Chen's transport plane has been buzzing, transporting shells to the Eighth Route Army.

With regard to the mobilization order for the expansion of the main force, the General Headquarters has already issued an order to expand the regiment, and after this battle, not only the new regiment will be expanded.

The 129th, 115th, and 120th Divisions, as well as the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and other main forces should be expanded.

The head of the headquarters estimated that the total strength of the Eighth Route Army would be about 300,000.

The total strength of the expanded Eighth Route Army exceeded 700,000, and with the guerrillas and militia of local troops, it properly exceeded 1 million.

It is estimated that in three months to half a year, the Eighth Route Army will complete its expansion, and then launch a major counteroffensive against the devils.

In addition, the traitors in Shanxi should be reformed through labor and should be shot in public trial.

Mobilize in the whole province of Shanxi, establish local governments, implement the principle of all people being soldiers, shrewdly streamline administration, mobilize all young and strong people of appropriate age to join the militia, conduct tactical training, and serve as the reserve of the main force.

"What's the good news?"

Today, the chief was in a particularly happy mood, and asked with a moving expression.

"It's news about the 4th Air Brigade of the National Air Force."

The chief of staff smiled slightly and said:

"Zheng Shaoqiang, the captain of the 4th Air Brigade, is actually a comrade of our party lurking in the air force of the national army."

As he spoke, the chief of staff handed the telegram in his hand to the chief.

Zheng Shaoqiang, a native of Sichuan Province, graduated from the third phase of the Central Aviation School of the Nationalist Army in 1933, and in 1935, the Nationalist Air Force's reconnaissance and bombardment of the Red Army's base areas intensified, posing a great threat to the Red Army.

Our party was also anxious to infiltrate the Kuomintang air force in order to obtain relevant information.

The Shanghai party organization learned of Zheng Shaoqiang's political ambitions, so it sent party members to make secret contacts, and after strict organizational investigation, Zheng Shaoqiang secretly joined our party.

In order to protect Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang, he only had one-line contact with his superiors, and only the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the senior leaders of our party knew his identity.

Even the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not know.

"Considering that our Eighth Route Army is in dire need of pilots, YA has decided to let Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang end the hidden mission and return to the arms of the organization ahead of schedule."

The chief of staff said as he handed the telegram in his hand to the head of the headquarters.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army did not have airplanes, so Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang could continue to lurk in the national army and wait for the opportunity.

But now the situation is different, the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army is stronger than the air force of the National Army, so there is no need for Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang to continue to lurk.

There are still many members of our party like Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang who are lurking in the national army.

Even President Chang has people from our party around him.

The chief took the telegram and looked at it, the content of the telegram was exactly the same as what the chief of staff said, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"How many pilots are there in the 4th Air Brigade of the National Army?"

The chief asked.

The chief of staff replied with a slight smile.

"The 4th Aviation Brigade of the National Army, under the jurisdiction of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd flight squadrons, has a total of 57 pilots."

"They will arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow on two transport planes."

The office of the Eighth Route Army in Shancheng has sent a telegram about the 4th Air Brigade of the National Army, confirming the personnel of the Air Force Observation Group and the time of arrival.

Although the devil's planes continued to take off from airports in Wuhan and other places, bombing Chongqing and the rear of the national army in the southeast.

But the Nationalist Army still has some planes and pilots that can take off from airfields in the southeast to Taiyuan.

The chief smiled: "This 4th Air Brigade is the trump card in Lao Jiang's hand, I'm afraid Lao Jiang won't be able to sleep now!" ”

Since the captain of the 4th Aviation Group of the National Army is his comrade, this matter will be easy to handle.

If Zheng Shaoqiang can't bring in the 4th Air Brigade, then his hidden work in the past few years will be in vain.

And being able to serve as the captain of the Zhihang Brigade shows that Zheng Shaoqiang's ability is very strong.

"Why don't we have a Kuomintang-Communist cooperation?"

The Chief of Staff advised:

"Let Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang lead the 4th Air Brigade to carry out the mission of bombing Tokyo in Japan with our pilots, so that the pilots of the National Army can see with their own eyes the strength of our Eighth Route Army and the determination to counterattack Japan."

"Coupled with Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang taking the lead, there is a high probability that these pilots will join us."

The chief thought carefully, and then nodded: "This method is feasible!" ”

At present, the flight group of the new regiment and the flight regiment directly under the headquarters are forming bomber crews.

Each bomber group needs 12 people, and 50 bomber crews, so a total of 600 people are needed.

Although these pilots of the national army are all elites who fought with the Japanese air force.

But except for Zheng Shaoqiang, it is impossible to let the pilots of the National Army fly the planes of the Eighth Route Army at this stage.

However, these pilots of the Nationalist Army could be allowed to serve as navigators, or even bombardiers, and personally participate in the bombing of Japan.

The feeling of personally dropping incendiary bombs and bombing the devil's homeland for revenge will definitely shock the pilots of the national army.

……

"For this bombing, I plan to prepare a little political offensive for the little devils."

In the regiment headquarters of the new regiment, Political Commissar Zhao smiled slightly and said to Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou.

Recently, the main work of the new regiment has been in addition to the work of receiving goods, training troops in tactics, expanding recruits, training recruits, and conducting ideological and political education.

The main thing is Zhang Luo's 50 heavy long-range bombers, bombing Tokyo, Japan, and the aircraft carrier Devil Xianghe.

"Political offensive?"

Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou both looked moved.

"Lao Zhao, what kind of political offensive?"

Li Yunlong asked.

Zhao Gang said: "Didn't the devil propagate the army's victory in North China and the navy's victory in Midway?" After our planes finished bombing, they dropped leaflets to the devil's cities to tell the Japanese people the truth. ”

Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou also knew about the high-level propaganda of the devil's victory in Japan, but it was just news materials provided by Boss Chen.

At this time, the local devils and ordinary people in Japan were still kept in the dark.

Japan is also a strange country, obviously there was a big defeat, but the Japanese people thought that the Japanese army had won a big victory outside, and the whole country was still celebrating and marching.

But the Eighth Route Army was helpless, after all, it couldn't go to Japan and shout to the devil's people, your army was defeated, right?

"Lao Zhao, your method is very good!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and his tone was fierce:

"I suggest that the names of the 39 devil generals we killed in North China be printed on the leaflets."

"And print the photos of the generals we killed the devils, so that the devils can take a look at the fate of daring to invade our country!"

At the beginning, the flying brigade of the new regiment dispatched bombers to bomb the 5th Division, the 41st Division and other devil units in Taiyuan.

Then.

The air force of the Eighth Route Army killed the new commander of the North China Front, Naosaburo Okabe, and Zhao Gang asked the printing house of the new regiment to print a large number of leaflets and throw them to the devils.

caused a certain mental attack on the devil.

Wang Dehou said in a worried tone: "If we do this, will we anger the devil's base camp and send more Japanese troops and aviation units to North China to fight against our Eighth Route Army?" ”

Li Yunlong didn't care at all, but looked forward to it: "Isn't that double happiness?" ”

Now Li Yunlong still thinks that there are too few devils in North China.

At present, the North China Front Army is less than 100,000 devils, and after the expansion of the new regiment is completed, it will not be enough for the new regiment to plug the gaps.

"Lao Zhao."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang:

"You take it personally, and implement this matter as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

Zhao Gang nodded seriously, ready to write the flyer himself, to achieve the effect of attacking the hearts of the devil people, the writing is not good.

At present, the new group has opened a printing factory in the northwest of Shanxi, and the equipment provided by Boss Chen is provided, so there is no need to worry about printing.

After a pause, Li Yunlong smiled and said: "If you want me to say, you intellectuals are still bad-minded, why did my old Li only think of the incendiary bombing offensive, but not the political offensive?" ”

This wave of bomb offensives and political offensives will definitely make the devils in Japan drink a pot.

"Fuck off!"

Zhao Gang scolded with a smile:

"Are you a compliment, or a disgusting person?"

……

The next day at noon.

Two C47 transport planes are flying between the clouds.

The C47 transport aircraft is the main transport aircraft aided by the United States to the national army, with a crew of 3 and a crew of 28 people.

These two transport planes were carrying 57 pilots of the observation group of the 4th Flight Group of the National Air Force.

Major Zheng Shaoqiang looked through the plexiglass in the cabin, his eyes sank, and his face was pensive.

"Captain."

A pilot wearing a flight helmet approached and reported:

"We still have half an hour to arrive in Taiyuan."

Although the pilots who flew the transport plane were all from the 4th Air Brigade, Zheng Shaoqiang did not fly the plane.

He and the pilots around him were wearing the uniforms of the national army.

"I see."

Zheng Shaoqiang nodded, and the pilot who reported turned around and returned to the cockpit.

This time, he also temporarily received an order from Shangfeng to go to Taiyuan to exchange tactical experience with the air force units of the Eighth Route Army.

It seems that they are exchanging tactical experience, but in fact, Shangfeng sent their 4th Air Brigade to explore the intelligence and reality of the air force units of the Eighth Route Army.

In the eyes of the group of the Nationalist Army, the air force units of the Eighth Route Army appeared suddenly, and then suddenly killed the air force of the North China Front, and then obtained air supremacy in North China.

On the one hand, the Nationalist Army wanted to find out how the air force of the Eighth Route Army was established.

On the other hand, the top brass of the Nationalist Army wanted to assess whether the air force of the Eighth Route Army posed a threat to the Yamashiro government.

After all, everyone in the Kuomintang knows that when the Japanese devils are defeated, there will be a war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

And Zheng Shaoqiang was sent to Taiyuan before he had time to contact his superiors, and he was thinking about what to do?

Suddenly, the corner of Zheng Shaoqiang's eyes jumped.

On the left wing of the transport aircraft, a fighter appeared at some point, and this fighter did not have a propeller.

Zheng Shaoqiang looked at the right side of the transport plane again, and through the plexiglass, there was also a fighter on the right side of the fighter.

The pilot in the fighter plane is giving a thumbs up to the pilot of the transport plane and making escort gestures.
