"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to bomb Tokyo, Japan, and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier!"

"Outside, outside, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to bomb Tokyo, Japan, and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier!"

“……”

Early the next morning, there were crisp sounds on the streets of the mountain city.

One by one, the newsboys waved the "Xinhua Daily" in their hands and shouted loudly.

on the streets.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, a black faux silk gown, a top hat, and cloth shoes.

He paused to listen carefully for a while, then walked quickly to the newsboy's side and said, "Little brother, which newspaper are you selling?" ”

The Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to bomb Tokyo, Japan, and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier?

It can't be bragging, right?

At present, the more well-known newspapers and media include "Xinhua Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Declaration" and "Central Daily".

But there are also some miscellaneous media that report on some things that are not true.

For example, if there is a lost battle ahead, these media reports that the battle has been won, and the good news is not reported.

Needless to say, who controls these media.

"Sir, we are Xinhua Daily, do you need a copy?"

The newsboy replied in a crisp voice.

"Xinhua Daily?"

"Bring me one."

Hearing that it was "Xinhua Daily", the middle-aged man paid without hesitation and took a telegram from the newsboy.

More than a month ago, the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale offensive in Shanxi, annihilating more than 130,000 Japanese troops.

Each time, it was Xinhua Daily that first reported the news of the victory.

The middle-aged man, an elementary school teacher in Yamashiro, has long been a big fan of Xinhua Daily.

The middle-aged man quickly picked up the newspaper and read it.

The headlines of the first page caught your eye with a few big words: Burning Tokyo!

Next to it is a slightly smaller line of words: The Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China bravely made a great move in the air force, and the 400-ton aerial bomb broke the enemy's fear!

Just looking at this headline and the words next to it, it has already made the middle-aged man can't help but boil his blood and his scalp is numb.

The entire headline page of Xinhua Daily reported on the incident.

There are not only pictures of the bombing, but also pictures of the bombing of Tokyo and the bombing of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shozuru.

There are pictures and truths.

Yesterday, the headquarters had already arranged for transport planes to transport some of the film taken to the mountain city of bombing Tokyo and bombing the Japanese aircraft carrier Shozuru.

The staff of the Eighth Route Army Office and the Xinhua Daily were busy all night, and finally in the early morning, the first batch of Xinhua Daily's news reports covering the bombing of the Japanese mainland were printed.

Of course, about some of the details of the bombing, the newspapers will certainly not say.

But.

"Xinhua Daily" did not conceal the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, nor did it exaggerate the results, which was completely in line with the real-time and factual nature of the news report.

This is also one of the reasons why "Xinhua Daily" can gain many fans in this era.

"China is saved!"

"China is saved!"

"China will not die!"

“……”

After reading the headline report of Xinhua Daily, the elementary school teacher couldn't help but shout loudly, and the excitement on his face couldn't be suppressed.

It began with the Nationalist Government moving the capital from Jinling to the mountain city.

The mountain city was bombed by Japanese planes just five miles away from the mountain.

The people of the entire mountain city have been shrouded in the shadow of war and the death of the country for several years.

But the Eighth Route Army's successive victories, and even now being able to bomb the Japanese mainland, gave the teacher hope.

The teacher walked briskly towards the elementary school, where he was going to give a lesson to his students today.

It's called "Burning Tokyo"!

At this time, several newsboys who sold newspapers to Xinhua Daily were already surrounded by people buying newspapers.

"Well done!"

"Blow up his turtle son!"

"Fighting Japanese devils, it's still the Eighth Route Army!"

"It's General Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army who commands Di, and it depends on General Li Yunlong to kill the Japanese devils!"

“……”

The crowd was discussing excitedly in Shancheng dialect, you and I.

The news that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had cooperated in dispatching bombers to Japan to bomb Tokyo and blow up the aircraft carrier Shozuru spread like a hurricane through the mountain castle.

It was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, setting off huge waves.

Everyone was running in the streets to tell each other about the victory, and in less than an hour, almost all the people of the mountain city knew about it.

People set off firecrackers one after another and took to the streets to celebrate, which was more lively than the New Year.

At noon, other newspapers and media also published the news of the victory.

"Declaration": The success of the second expedition of the Chinese Air Force to Japan proves that China's strength is very strong, and it is by no means something that Japan can defeat!

"Ta Kung Pao": The enemy country did not listen to the admonition, and the air force went on a second expedition to Japan, bringing 400 tons of bombs to carry forward China's military might!

The Chinese Air Force comes and goes freely, which shows that the Japanese air defense is unreliable, and the Japanese people will not be at peace in the future!

The Eighth Route Army's "Border Daily": Break through the sky, carry forward the spirit of the Long March, complete the glorious mission, and the Condor team marches to the island country!

AP: A country that loves war and massacres will eventually bear the wrath of war!

……

At this time, the 4th Air Brigade had not yet announced its defection to the Communist Party.

After reading the "Xinhua Daily", President Chang was also very happy, and directly ordered to send a commendation telegram to the Eighth Route Army and the 4th Air Brigade, and also ordered his subordinates to send Li Yunlong a general's uniform.

Although Li Yunlong doesn't know how to wear it, and Principal Chang doesn't want to give it, Principal Chang can't help but give it, which is the attitude of the chairman of the committee.

Soon.

President Chang also ordered the Eighth Route Army to dispatch air force units to deal with the Japanese air force units in central China.

During this period, the Japanese army's bombing of the rear of the southwestern national control area became more and more frequent.

It seems that the Eighth Route Army beat the devils more and more severely in North China, and the Japanese army doubled its anger on the national army.

At this time, on the bright side, the Eighth Route Army still belonged to the battle sequence of the national army.

Principal Chang thought to himself that since the air force of the Eighth Route Army had the strength to take out the aviation units of the North China Front Army and the expedition to Japan, it was very likely that they would also have the strength to kill the Japanese aviation units in Central China.

If the Eighth Route Army refused to carry out the order, the Eighth Route Army would be charged with disobedience and sabotage of the War of Resistance.

Recently, the Eighth Route Army has won successive battles, which has made the prestige of the Communist Party grow in the Kuomintang area, and President Chang feels a crisis.

For President Chang, the rise of the Eighth Route Army was no less terrifying than the Japanese occupation of half of China.

And if the Eighth Route Army dispatched air force units to raid the Japanese airfield in Central China, it succeeded.

Then the "Central Daily" can be published, it is the order given by his principal Chang to the Eighth Route Army, and he successfully picked a wave of peaches, so that the people in the national control area know that he is the number one in China.

Taking a step back, if the Eighth Route Army Air Force failed in a surprise attack, both the Japanese air force and the Japanese air force would be defeated.

That's excellent too.

It's just killing three birds with one stone.

Principal Chang gave himself a full score in his heart for this wave of operations.

……

Lvliang Mountain.

Xing County.

The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army was stationed.

At this time, several divisions of the Jin Sui Army had already withdrawn to northern Shaanxi.

Half of the remaining troops were in Luliang Mountain, including Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment.

These troops were also ready to retreat.

Yan Xishan thought that if the Eighth Route Army attacked the Jin Sui Army, leave a part of the troops to resist and let the main force of the Jin Sui Army cross the river.

However, as the strength of the Eighth Route Army grew stronger and stronger, several regiments of the Jin Sui Army directly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.

This made Yan Xishan angry enough.

And Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong got close, and Yan Xishan placed two combat staff officers beside him to watch.

After the last Zhengtai Battle, Li Yunlong sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei, inviting Chu Yunfei to Taiyuan for a meeting.

And Chu Yunfei did not go to Taiyuan in order to avoid suspicion.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was in the war room, reviewing the last Zhengtai battle.

At the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, the Eighth Route Army killed and captured 130,000 Japanese soldiers and tens of thousands of puppet soldiers.

Chu Yunfei, who has fought with the Japanese army many times, naturally knows that the Japanese army is definitely not a straw bag, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Even in this battle, there was the Fifth Division, one of the most elite ace units of the Japanese army.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fifth Division can be said to be a god blocking and killing gods, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, except for being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army once at Pingxingguan.

The 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division slashed all the way from Xinkou to Yuncheng, defeating more than 30 divisions of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army without blinking an eye.

And in this Zhengtai Campaign, the most elite fifth division of the Japanese army was actually wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, which is really unbelievable.

Although the Eighth Route Army had an advantage in weapons and equipment.

However, the individual quality of the Japanese army was stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army.

There was no suspense about the defeat of the Japanese army, but Chu Yunfei couldn't figure out why the Japanese army was defeated so badly.

And the commander-in-chief of this battle is Li Yunlong.

Could it be that Li Yunlong really has such a powerful strategic and tactical command ability?

Just when Chu Yunfei was puzzled.

Fang Ligong held a telegram in his hand and walked in quickly, with a thick look of horror on his face, indicating that the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment was in extreme shock at this time.

"Tuanza!"

"Tuanza!"

Fang Ligong saw that Chu Yunfei was contemplating in front of the sand table, so he shouted twice.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Yunfei came back to his senses and looked at Fang Ligong.

Looking at the look of horror on Fang Ligong's face, Chu Yunfei's face sank, and he asked, "Brother Ligong, is something wrong?" ”

"Danza..."

Fang Ligong calmed down his heart, and handed the telegram in his hand to Chu Yunfei:

"Just now, the Second Theater Commander's Department sent a telegram that the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army and the 4th Air Group of the National Army jointly bombed the Japanese mainland, ignited Tokyo, and blew up the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier Shozuru."

"What did you say?"

Chu Yunfei's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes widened:

"Bomb the Japanese mainland and blow up the Japanese aircraft carriers?"

Chu Yunfei's eyes widened and he looked at the telegram in his hand.

The content of the telegram was not long, and Chu Yunfei, who had read the telegram, was stunned, with an unbelievable look of shock on his face.

Soon, the look of shock on Chu Yunfei's face turned into a thick surprise again.

"Well done!"

"To deal with this group of Japanese beasts that exterminate humanity, we should roast them all into roast pigs like this!"

Chu Yunfei said loudly.

This is not the first time that the Chinese Air Force has bombed Japan, but it is the first time that a genuine bomb has been dropped on the Japanese mainland.

In Chu Yunfei's view, this bombing of Japan and blowing up Japanese aircraft carriers is simply more relieving than destroying 100,000 devils!

"It's unbelievable!"

Fang Ligong pushed his glasses and said in a shocked tone:

"The cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army this time bombed the Japanese mainland from a long distance, and it was also Tokyo, and also sank the Japanese aircraft carrier Xianghe."

"This bombing of the Japanese mainland will surely go down in history."

"This should be the handiwork of the Eighth Route Army, the Shancheng government does not have this ability, otherwise Shancheng would not have been bombed by Japanese planes for several years."

"But I'm curious, how did the National Air Force and the Eighth Route Army Air Force get together?"

In the end, Fang Ligong's tone was surprised.

Although this was the second period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, except for a few generals of the Nationalist Army such as Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi, they had a close relationship with the Eighth Route Army.

The vast majority of the Nationalist Army did not have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army.

"I don't know."

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said:

"However, after the 4th Air Brigade arrives in Shanxi, if you want to go back, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"Tuanza." Fang Ligong was taken aback, "You mean, the Eighth Route Army will detain the 4th Air Brigade?" ”

"Not really."

Chu Yunfei smiled coldly:

"It should be the Eighth Route Army that took the initiative to invite the national army to participate in the bombing of the Japanese mainland and the aircraft carrier Xianghe."

"This time after the bombing of the Japanese mainland, do you think that the 4th Air Group, how many pilots are willing to go back to the country?"

"That's just as well." Fang Ligong sighed, his tone helpless.

If he were a pilot, he would be willing to join the air force of the Eighth Route Army, driving a bomber, eating chocolate and singing songs to bomb the Japanese mainland.

Even he was excited, not to mention the pilots of the Nationalist Army who fought with the Japanese air force.

Chu Yunfei changed his words and asked, "Brother Meritorious Service, how long has it been since our 358th Regiment fought against the Japanese army?" ”

"Tuanza, our regiment hasn't fought against the Japanese army for almost a year."

Fang Ligong sighed and replied:

"The last time our 358th Regiment fought with the Japanese army, it was Li Yunlong who led the troops to attack the 36th Division, and our 358th Regiment attacked the 3rd Brigade of Datong."

In that battle, Chu Yunfei originally wanted to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army to attack the 36th Division and the main force of the 3rd Brigade in Datong to support the 36th Division, Chu Yunfei led the 358th Regiment to attack and recover Datong.

Datong was recovered by Chu Yunfei, but was killed by the 3rd Brigade, and the 358th Regiment was almost defeated by the 3rd Brigade.

If Li Yunlong hadn't led his troops north to reinforce, the 358th Regiment would have been defeated by the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

In that battle, the 358th Regiment lost all the mule carts of the entire logistics transport team, as well as the capture of Datong, and also made a wedding dress for Li Yunlong.

After that, Yan Xishan was afraid that the 358th Regiment would be retaliated against by the Japanese army, so he transferred the 358th Regiment from the northwest of Shanxi to Luliangshan to garrison.

"I really don't feel good about it."

Chu Yunfei sighed:

"At a time when the country and the nation are in danger, we, as soldiers, should protect our families and defend the country, but we are sitting in the rear and watching the tiger fight."

Seeing that Li Yunlong's formation is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more devils are being killed, this time they have all been killed in Japan.

Chu Yunfei's heart itched, like a cat scratching.

Deep in his heart, Chu Yunfei really wanted to rely on his own ability to do something for the country and the nation.

Thinking of Li Yunlong's solicitation, Chu Yunfei turned his head to the other party and said, "Brother meritorious service, get ready, let's go to Taiyuan to meet Li Yunlong." ”

"Tuanzao ......" Fang Ligong was suddenly taken aback, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to Taiyuan at this time, right?" ”

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and said categorically: "It's okay." ”

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

The heavily guarded North China Front Headquarters.

War Hall.

Okamura Ninji, Seizo Arisue, and Kazuki Yamamoto were discussing in the war hall where the planes of the Eighth Route Army would attack.

The planes of the Eighth Route Army did not move for a month, obviously holding back their big moves.

"General."

"Just received the information."

The intelligence staff officer walked in quickly, bowed his head with an ugly face and reported to Okamura Ninji:

"The Eighth Route Army dispatched 50 bombers yesterday to attack our homeland, set Tokyo on fire, and sank the aircraft carrier Xianghe."

After speaking, the intelligence staff officer bowed his head and expressed his condolences to the compatriots who died in the bombing.

"Nani?"

There is Sue Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki's expressions changed in unison.

"Where's the information?"

Sue Seizo asked with a gloomy face.

"Information from the enemy's military reports."

The intelligence staff officer replied.

The fact that the base camp did not notify the North China Front Army Headquarters of such a big thing as the bombing of the mainland is enough to show that the losses on the mainland are not small.

The intelligence staff officers, Seizo Arisue, Kazuki Yamamoto, and the various combat staff officers all had solemn faces.

And the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ningji, couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, and even said in his mouth: "Yo Xi." ”

"Nani?"

There are Sue Seizo, Yamamoto Kazuki, intelligence staff officers, and a group of combat staff officers looked at Okamura Ninji, their expressions all frozen.

Your Excellency, is your happy expression serious?
