If you didn't come to communicate with the Eighth Route Army before you observed.

Some people told these pilots, officers, and others that the Eighth Route Army would drop more than 5 million tons of incendiary bombs on Japan in the next two years.

The pilots and officers of the national army will definitely scoff at it.

Just by virtue of the Eighth Route Army?

But after really seeing the Eighth Route Army's advanced fighters, attack planes and heavy bombers.

At the moment, this group of pilots and officers believed most of them.

Because, the commander of this bombing plan is the famous General Li Yunlong!

This is a general who can do miracles.

In two years, he led the Eighth Route Army to kill more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers and 39 Japanese generals!

Although it is rumored that China has two great protector generals, South Xue Yue and North Yunlong.

But judging from the current record of killing the Japanese army, Beiyunlong is obviously more powerful, and much more powerful.

Li Yunlong's reputation is like a thunderous existence in the national army.

"This Yunlong barbecue plan is named after General Li Yunlong, right?"

A detachment leader asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"That's right!"

Li Shaorong nodded:

"We also have a new style of saber, which is also named after our regiment leader, called Yunlong Knife, with the inscription to kill the Japanese and destroy the Kou!"

"When the bombing of the Japanese mainland is over, you can give each of you a Cloud Dragon Knife."

"Then thank you Captain Lee."

Major Zheng Shaoqiang asked in an expectant tone:

"When will we meet General Li Yunlong?"

"Our regimental commander is very busy." Li Shaorong said, "Maybe when we go on the expedition, the regiment commander may come to practice for us." ”

Zheng Shaoqiang asked, "What can we do?" ”

Li Shaorong said: "We only have a total of 100 pilots in the Eighth Route Army, and we need 20 pilots and 30 navigators. ”

During the flight combat missions some time ago, the pilots of the Eighth Route Army lost several people.

Later, the headquarters added several pilots through channels, and now the pilots of the Eighth Route Army remain at about 100 people.

In addition, at Boss Chen's military base, there are 250 flight cadets participating in flight training.

The Eighth Route Army's aviation school is also gradually on the right track.

Some of the crew members of the bomber crew came from the aviation school of the Eighth Route Army, which is equivalent to getting internship opportunities just after entering the school.

Li Yunlong thought carefully.

If you send all the pilots of the Eighth Route Army, fly 50 heavy long-range bombers to bomb Japan.

Then Shanxi, the rear of the Eighth Route Army, was empty of air force units.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

If all the pilots leave, and the devil's air force suddenly attacks, it will be very bad.

Therefore, when the air force unit carried out bombing missions, the Eighth Route Army needed its own base camp air force to have defense forces.

One squadron of Sabre fighters is enough.

The main thing is that there is not enough pilots.

However, Zheng Shaoqiang is a member of the Eighth Route Army, he knows what to do, and he will choose the most reliable pilot to serve as the pilot of the bomber.

And the Eighth Route Army would not let a bomber crew be all national pilots.

At most, two people, the rest are the Eighth Route Army, and once it is discovered that the national army pilot is driving the plane to the national army defense area, they will immediately take countermeasures.

"No problem!"

Zheng Shaoqiang agreed.

His men are all experienced pilots, and each pilot can discern the direction and course, and is fully qualified to be a navigator.

Li Shaorong nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

With the cooperation of this group of pilots of the national army, 50 bomber crews will be in full swing, and the training will be at full capacity.

After training, Boss Chen's side provided good weather, and the bombing formation could attack.

……

Taiyuan.

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"Regiment commander, political commissar."

"The pilots of the national army promised to cooperate, and they have been sent to Heyuan Airport by our transport plane."

Wang Dehou walked in from outside the door and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"We already know that."

Li Yunlong nodded and said:

"The airport has already called the regiment headquarters, and when the transport plane took off, two fighter jets were sent to escort it."

The fighter was arranged by order of Li Yunlong.

In case the pilots of the Nationalist Army hijack the pilots of the Eighth Route Army and drive the transport plane to the mountain city, it will be troublesome.

Li Yunlong often talked about 'this friendly army for labor defense'.

At present, in order to prevent leakage, whether Zheng Shaoqiang is his own person or a top secret, only the head of the headquarters and the chief of staff know.

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "After this bombing of the devil's homeland, I believe that most of the pilots of the National Army have the intention of wanting to join our Eighth Route Army Air Force." ”

"After all, no real Chinese soldier can refuse to burn the flames of war to the Japanese mainland."

"Especially these national army pilots who have a deep hatred for devils and hate devils to the core."

Li Yunlong nodded.

He agreed that Li Shaorong would reveal his 'Yunlong barbecue' plan to the pilots of the Nationalist Army, which was to draw cakes for the pilots of the Nationalist Army.

However, the cake painted by Li Yunlong can be eaten, and it depends on whether the pilots of the national army are willing to eat it.

Of course.

Li Yunlong will not force any pilot of the Nationalist Army to join the Eighth Route Army, and whether or not to join is entirely voluntary.

"Have Boss Chen's fuel and incendiary bombs arrived at Heyuan Airport?"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and asked in a leisurely tone.

Heavy bombers are definitely oil tigers and big fuel guzzlers.

Carrying heavy long-range bombers and their 10-ton bombs into the sky, as well as 50 heavy long-range bombers with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, will inevitably require a large amount of high-grade aviation fuel.

"Deputy Head Xing called, fuel and aerial bombs are being transported to Heyuan Airport!"

Wang Dehou nodded and said:

"Hundreds of tons of fuel and aerial bombs arrive at Heyuan airport every day."

"Good!"

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang:

"Lao Zhao, how is the flyer prepared?"

"It is currently being prepared, and 3 million leaflets will definitely be completed by the time of takeoff."

Zhao Gang replied.

The contents of the leaflet, written by Zhao Gang himself, were sent by telegram to the northwest of Shanxi, and the new printing house in the northwest of Shanxi was in full swing to prepare, and the contents of the leaflet were translated into Japanese by the comrades of the enemy's engineering department.

Since 38 bombers carried 10 tons of aviation incendiary bombs, they could not carry extra leaflets.

Then the task of scattering leaflets was handed over to the 12 bombers who went to bomb the aircraft carrier Devil Xianghe.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.

"General."

Communications staff officer Haruo Kitani walked into the war hall quickly, bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported:

"The command of the Kwantung Army and the command of the 11th Army sent a telegram refusing to continue sending reconnaissance aircraft to Shanxi, saying ..."

After the newspapers and clear-code telegrams of the Eighth Route Army were sent out in the airspace of North China, the Japanese planes were banned.

Okamura did not believe in evil and continued to send reports to the Kwantung Army and the headquarters of the 11th Army, asking them to continue to send reconnaissance planes, and even to send fighters and bombers to attack the airfields of the Eighth Route Army.

The Kwantung Army and the 11th Army Command will definitely not do it, and their commanders are not fools, and they will definitely not send planes to help the North China Front in the war.

Even the aviation units of the North China Front were wiped out.

And the 11th Army and the Kwantung Army did not have the slightest intelligence about the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army.

If all the bombers and fighters that attacked were wiped out, would Okamura Ninji be held responsible?

"Say what?"

Okamura Ninji's face sank and asked.

After a pause, the communications staff officer said: "They said that the defeat of the North China Front Army should not be paid for by the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army..."

"Yaga!"

Okamura Ninji scolded angrily when he heard this:

"Aren't the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army part of the Locust Army? This was frightened by the Eighth Route Army? ”

"A bunch of rubbish..."

Okamura Ninji suddenly scolded and was furious.

As for the situation in which the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment have been strengthened after each victory, the General Staff has verified it after analyzing the combat situation of each battle with the Eighth Route Army over the past two years.

In this battle of Zhengtai, the Eighth Route Army won an unprecedented victory, and it will inevitably obtain an unimaginable number of weapons and ammunition.

Okamura Ninji is well aware.

The reason why the Eighth Route Army did not continue to attack the North China Front was most likely digesting those weapons and equipment.

By the time the Eighth Route Army has digested it, the Eighth Route Army fighting for the Japanese on the battlefield will inevitably have a lot of heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft.

At this time, the best way is to raid the airfield of the Eighth Route Army, just like the planes of the Eighth Route Army sneak attack on the aviation units of the North China Front, and the aviation units of the 11th Army and the Kwantung Army will sneak attack the airfields of the Eighth Route Army, eliminate their pilots and combat planes in one fell swoop, and even blow up the oil depots and ammunition depots of the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, the Japanese army was not so uncomfortable on the battlefield.

The enemy's Eighth Route Army gained air supremacy, and could not only bomb the Japanese combat units unscrupulously, but also carry out aerial reconnaissance and obtain information on the movement of Japanese troops.

After losing air supremacy, the Japanese army's combat operations were restricted everywhere, and there was a feeling that they were bound and unable to exert their hands and feet.

Although Okamura Ningji guessed what the Eighth Route Army was doing, it was like a eunuch entering the Qinglou, and he was powerless.

The Eighth Route Army could only be allowed to expand its strength.

"Yes, Sue-kun, about the fact that the base camp gave us pilots and planes, did the base camp reply?" Okamura Ninji looked at Chief of Staff Seizo Arisue and asked.

"Your Excellency, General."

There is a Sue Seizan answer:

"The base camp has also replied, saying that it is going to transfer aviation units to us, but it has not clearly said when the aviation units will arrive in Beiping."

At present, the Japanese army is somewhat declining, but it is not obvious, and it still has a large number of soldiers and aviation units.

It's just that the North China Front has suffered successive heavy defeats, and the Japanese base camp is somewhat cautious about the supply of the North China Front.

Seizo continued, "And..."

"The runway and tower of the airport in the western suburbs of Beiping have been bombed by planes of the Eighth Route Army, and we currently have no airport to park planes."

Okamura Ninji suddenly raised his gaze and looked at the map on the wall with a gloomy face.

Okamura Ninji prepared to use the aviation units allocated from the base camp to raid the airfield of the Eighth Route Army.

But even if the base camp brought planes, fuel, and aerial bombs to the North China Front, he did not stop at the airport.

"It seems that we need a secret airfield."

Okamura Ninji looked at Seizo Arisue and said in an indifferent tone:

"Yousujun, this matter is entrusted to you to be responsible, and you will personally choose the location to build a secret airport, and you don't have to report the location of the airport to me, and wait for the arrival of the aviation unit assigned by the base camp."

Okamura Ninji intends to hand over the matter of building the secret to Arisue Seizan with full responsibility.

If the aviation unit assigned by the base camp was attacked by the planes of the Eighth Route Army when it landed at the airport.

That illustrates a problem, there is a problem that the third is a spy of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the North China Front.

When the time comes, you can shift all the responsibility for the defeat to the person who has been succulated.

Although the cost of gambling with the aviation force was a bit large, Okamura Ninji decided to take a gamble, not to mention that he had no choice.

"Hey."

There was a selage in his heart, and he instantly realized that Okamura Ninji was not at ease, and bowed his head to answer.

When he lowered his head, his eyes flickered, but when he raised his head, his complexion instantly returned to normal.

The deputy chief of staff, Kazuki Yamamoto, stared at the map, his eyes were thoughtful, and his expression was a little solemn.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Okamura Ninji's expression moved, and he asked:

"What did you find?"

"Your Excellency, General."

Yamamoto Kazuki looked resolute, with a paralyzed expression, and replied:

"Judging from my experience with Li Yunlong for two years, this person's combat style is elusive, but it is definitely a must-report, and the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army dispatched reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter Shanxi."

"Although the locust reconnaissance plane has been shot down, I am afraid that Li Yunlong will retaliate!"

"Retaliation?"

Okamura Ninji suddenly looked abrupt.

"Yes."

Kazuki Yamamoto continued:

"The aviation units of the Eighth Route Army are good at sneak attacks, and I think that the planes of the Eighth Route Army will sneak attack the locust army airfields in Wuhan, Shenyang and other places in the near future."

There is a sue Seizan also said with a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency, General, if I were Li Yunlong, with bombers and fighters equipped."

"Fighter planes will definitely be dispatched first to attack and destroy the locust army airfield in Manchuria, and then bombers will be dispatched to bomb the locust army arsenal outside the pass, as well as the transportation leading to the pass, which will greatly weaken the logistics supply of the locust army."

Okamura Ninji's eyes narrowed and he said.

"There's the end of it."

"Immediately notify the Kwantung Army Command and the 11th Army Command so that they can be prepared to avoid a sneak attack by the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army."

"If conditions permit, you can set a trap and wipe out the Eighth Route Army Aviation Unit that is going to sneak attack in one fell swoop."

Although the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army refused Okamura Ninji's request to reconnoiter and bomb the Eighth Route Army.

But the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and it is still necessary for Okamura Ninji to remind the Kwantung Army and the 11th Army Command.

If the aviation of the 11th Army and the Kwantung Army can take out the planes and pilots of the Eighth Route Army for the North China Front, it will be a good thing.

"Hey."

Seizo Arisue bowed his head and quickly drafted two telegrams, which were signed by Okamura Ninji and handed to Osamu Kitani.

Osamu Kitani took the telegram and turned around and walked away quickly.

……

A month is fleeting.

In this month, the Eighth Route Army in North China and the Japanese North China Front Army did not break out in a major battle.

But since the main forces of the North China Front were crushed.

The activities of the guerrillas, district squads, and county brigades of the Eighth Route Army became more and more frequent.

The sequelae of the insufficient strength of the Japanese North China Front began to appear.

The 50 bomber crews of the Eighth Route Army have already completed secret training at Heyuan Airport and in the skies northwest of Shanxi.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
