The expression of one of the combat staff officers was even more pensive.

He remembered that the last time he came to report to Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu that he was killed by the Eighth Route Army, the commander also had this expression.

Not sad but happy.

This is the reaction of an imperial general when he hears that the mainland has been bombed and the aircraft carrier Xianghe has been sunk?

Kazuki Yamamoto and Seizo Arisue thought they were wrong.

They looked at Okamura again, but by this time Okamura had regained his cold expression.

Yamamoto and Yusue looked at the operational staff officers who were still in a sluggish state on the side, showing that they were absolutely not mistaken.

When the commander heard the bombardment of the homeland just now, he really laughed, and he said something yo Xi.

It seems that he was very satisfied with the bombing of the Japanese mainland by the Eighth Route Army and the sinking of the aircraft carrier Xianghe.

There is a sue Jingsan who thinks to himself that he is definitely not a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the headquarters of the North China Front.

And the former chief of staff of the North China Front, Tanabe Moritake, is already loyal to the locust, and it is impossible for him to be a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the headquarters of the North China Front.

In the North China Front Headquarters, the only people who could provide such detailed information to the Eighth Route Army were Okamura Ningji, Tanabe Moritake, and Arisue Seizo, the three of them.

Then now only the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji, remains.

Think of Okamura Ninji's smile and this voice yo Xi.

Seizo felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Yamamoto Kazuki had just arrived at the North China Front Headquarters and didn't know much about Okamura Ningji, so his eyes just flashed and he quickly recovered his facial paralysis expression.

"Why is Your Excellency the General laughing?"

There was a surprised inquiry in Suese's tone.

After all, the other party is the commander of the North China Front, with the rank of general of the Imperial Army, although he has doubts in his heart, he does not dare to point it out.

Moreover, he was promoted to lieutenant general and served as chief of staff of the North China Front, and he was promoted by Okamura Ningji.

"I'm laughing at that Li Yunlong is extremely stupid."

When Okamura Ninji heard this, he also realized that he was a little out of shape, so he said.

He should have laughed secretly, not in front of so many officers.

The main thing is that there has been a lot of pressure on Okamura Ninji recently, and under his command, more than 200,000 locust army troops have been shattered.

Although the old saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but so many young and strong lives of the empire were put into his hands, and he was sent to the battlefield to give his life.

If it was a victory, it would be fine, but it was a defeat.

On the one hand, Okamura Ning had to face these jade-shattered locust soldiers.

On the other hand, Okamura Ninji also has to face the pressure of punishment from the base camp and the locusts.

The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army has been slow to move recently, and the troops, soldiers, combat materials, and aviation units that the base camp promised to allocate to the North China Front Army have not moved for a long time.

In the event of a large-scale attack by the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front Army will definitely not be the opponent of the Eighth Route Army, and there is even a high probability that it will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, he Okamura Ningji is afraid that he will only end up with a broken jade.

Seizo Arisue and Kazuki Yamamoto glanced at each other.

Li Yunlong, who led the troops to defeat the North China Front Army to the point of losing his armor, was extremely stupid, so what are these locust officers?

I'm afraid it's not even a stupid pig.

However, no one dared to refute Okamura Ninji's words.

Even the arrogant Yamamoto Kazuki didn't dare, he was just a deputy chief of staff, and even the special forces that he had gained a foothold in the army had lost most of them.

After a pause, Okamura continued:

"I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army actually had the strength to bomb my mainland from a long distance, but Li Yunlong was obviously too hasty."

"Even if the Eighth Route Army has heavy long-range bombers, there are certainly not many, and it is already the limit to be able to dispatch 50 bombers."

"The strength of the Eighth Route Army has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, but compared with the entire Japanese Empire, there is still a gap between children and adults."

"The Eighth Route Army chose to bomb our mainland at this time, and they did so, which would only anger the base camp and His Majesty the Locust."

"It won't be long before the base camp will give us a large number of troops, combat materials and aviation units."

"At that time, it will be the time for our North China Front Army to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army!"

Okamura Ninji spoke confidently.

The bombing of Tokyo and the sinking of the aircraft carrier Shozuru were indeed greatly unexpected by Okamura Ninji.

He had also thought about how great it would be if the Eighth Route Army could bomb the mainland.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the Eighth Route Army to really bomb the Japanese mainland.

This wave of bombardment by the Eighth Route Army is simply a divine assist.

How much damage can 50 aircraft, carrying up to a few hundred tons of bombs, inflict on Japan?

"Get Sler!"

Yusue Seisan's expression changed from puzzled to pretending to show a sudden realization:

"What Your Excellency General said is very true, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and we only see the bad side, but we do not see the good side."

"As soon as the Eighth Route Army bombs our homeland like this, the base camp and His Majesty the Locust will definitely pay attention to North China."

"The current Eighth Route Army already has the ability to bomb the mainland from a long distance."

"Once our North China Front is completely defeated, the Eighth Route Army can build airfields on the Shandong Peninsula and frequently bomb the empire itself."

"The locusts and the base camp will never let this situation happen."

After such an explanation, there is an explanation of the end of the essence.

Yamamoto Kazuki and a group of combat staff officers showed a sudden look in their expressions.

Just now, His Excellency the Commander heard that the Eighth Route Army was bombing the empire's mainland, why didn't he laugh sadly, this also makes sense.

At the same time, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Excellency the General, you should not be a high-ranking agent of the Eighth Route Army.

Okamura Ningji looked at Seizo Arisue and nodded with satisfaction, this kid has a good fart, and he can quickly comprehend his intentions.

"But before we do that, we have to make sure that the port and the rear traffic arteries are open."

Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes flashed.

According to the analysis of Okamura Ninji and Seizo Arise, it seems that the mainland of the empire has been bombed, which is not a bad thing.

Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.

Now the Eighth Route Army has heavy long-range bombers, and the North China Front has no air supremacy, and the bombers of the Eighth Route Army can carry out large-scale bombing of the rear of the North China Front at will.

"I'll plan this myself."

Okamura Ningji looked at Yamamoto Kazuki: "Yamamoto-kun, I will hand over the intelligence department of the North China Front Army to you in charge, you continue to investigate the mysterious person named Chen Feng, once you find his traces, try to keep your mouth alive, I want to see who is behind the support of the Eighth Road, and the enemy of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Between the words, the murderous aura overflowed.

In addition to finding out who is behind the support of Yachiji, Okamura Ninji is also very interested in those weapons and equipment.

Heavy artillery, tanks, and even advanced jet fighters that the United States and Germany did not have, Okamura Ninji was extremely greedy.

Okamura thought to himself if the Great Japanese Empire could get those weapons and ammunition.

Punching the Soviet Union and kicking the United States is no problem.

"Hey."

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head: "I will continue to track down Chen Feng." ”

……

Tokyo.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Major General Shikata Yuji, the captain of the Tokyo Military Police, reported to Tojo Hideji with a solemn expression:

"Losses and casualties are out ..."

The 320-ton aerial bombs dropped by the Eighth Route Army burned Tokyo for a full day, and the fire gradually decreased until it was extinguished.

The fire turned Tokyo into hell.

Everywhere the flames went, houses, streets, vehicles, and people were instantly burned to ashes.

The convection of the flames and the cold air raised the flames even higher, and in this hellish scene, thousands of Japanese were trapped and tried to escape, but were eventually burned alive by the flames.

At last.

The Tokyo Gendarmerie organized the demolition of a large number of houses to stop the fire.

The Quartet forgave two and thought, fortunately, there was no wind that day, and the fire did not spread quickly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But.

It was the first time in the history of Tokyo that it had been bombed so much, and it still caused great panic among the Japanese in Tokyo.

"How big is the loss?"

Hideki Tojo asked with a gloomy gaze.

Because of this, when Tojo Hideji met the locust, he was scolded by the locust.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Prime Minister's Office was that Hideji Tojo dismissed Kenji Dohi, the chief of local air defense, and replaced him with his confidant, Lieutenant General Sadachi Suzuki.

Tojo Hideji had long seen that Kenji Dotobe was unpleasant, and this time he finally got the opportunity to declare his personal vendetta.

Last time, Tojo Hideji asked Kenji Dohi to go to North China to serve as the commander of the North China Front, but he refused, which made Tojo Hideji angry enough.

"More than 30,000 people were killed, including 16,000 deaths, about one-fifth of the Tokyo city was burned down, and 600,000 people were left homeless."

Quartet replied cautiously.

"Yaga!"

When Tojo Hideji heard this, he couldn't help but scold angrily.

This loss seems to be small, but the follow-up series of problems it brings are what really give Tojo Hideji a headache.

"Enemy planes also dropped leaflets on many cities, informing the people of the news of the defeat in North China and Midway."

Quartet said again.

Tojo Hideji's face is as black as the bottom of a pot.

Compared with the bombing, the power of the Eighth Route Army's paper bombing should not be underestimated, and the last time the paper bombing of two Chinese bombers was ineffective, because it did not cause substantial damage to the Japanese mainland.

But this time it was different, this time there were a large number of real bombs that fell on the Japanese mainland.

And, most likely, this is just the beginning, and the Chinese Air Force definitely has a follow-up bombing plan.

"Order that all leaflets be collected and destroyed in a centralized manner."

Hideji Tojo spoke in a fierce tone:

"Those who dare to hide leaflets privately will be severely punished for the crime of treason with the enemy."

Tojo had seen those leaflets, and he knew the power of those leaflets, and the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and once there was a conflict within the empire, it would be a big deal.

"Hey."

Quartet bowed his head and walked out murderously.

Looking at the back of the departure of Yuji Quartet, the new director of air defense, Suzuki Sadachi, said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army dares to bomb the empire's mainland, it is simply an act of seeking death, and we should retaliate immediately." ”

"How?"

Hideji Tojo's eyes narrowed and asked in a deep voice.

Suzuki Sadachi said in a fierce tone.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I suggest."

"First, order the locust army in China to carry out a large-scale sweep of the area near which it is stationed."

"Second, mobilize a large number of troops and aviation to attack and completely eliminate its so-called Eighth Route Army."

"Third, the international community severely condemns the Chinese army for carrying out indiscriminate bombing of the people of the Japanese Empire, which is a naked massacre."

"Publicize the atrocities of the Chinese army among the locust army and boost the morale of the Great Japanese Locust Army."

In the eyes of the devils, since the Chinese army dared to come to Tokyo to carry out bombing, the Japanese army in China could also retaliate.

Sadaichi Suzuki, an old devil, was a fanatical expansionist and fascist who played an important role in leading Japan in war mobilization and launching a war of aggression against China.

War is a killing of you to the death.

"Yo Si."

Hideki Tojo nodded and looked at a major general's staff officer:

"Sanada-kun, immediately implement the first and third points mentioned by Lieutenant General Suzuki as soon as possible."

"Hey."

Major General Nanichiro Sanada, director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Army, bowed his head and turned to leave.

As for how many troops, combat materials, and aviation units to be mobilized to the North China Front, Tojo Hideki still has to plan.

After a pause, Tojo Hideji looked at Major General Akamatsu Mao, the chief of the Army Intelligence Section, and asked in a deep voice:

"Akamatsu-kun, do you find out where the bombers of the Chinese Air Force took off from?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Major General Akamatsu pointed to a map of China and replied:

"The bombers of the Chinese army took off from Shanxi, they were bombers of the Eighth Route Army, the airfield was in Shanxi, and this was the first cooperation between the Chinese Kuomintang and the Communist Air Force."

If Mao Akamatsu was really asked to investigate, he would definitely not find out so quickly.

However, China's major influential media newspapers reported on the bombing, which allowed the devil spies in the Kuomintang to learn some information, which was immediately sent to Japan by telegram.

"Order the 11th Army and the Kwantung Army to dispatch bombers to attack and destroy the airfields and planes of the Eighth Route Army."

Hideji Tojo spoke in a fierce tone:

"The Chinese army dispatched bombers to bomb the empire mainland, there must not be a third time!"

"Hey."

A group of devil officers, including Mazuo Akamatsu and Major General Eiichiro Sanada, suddenly bowed their heads and shouted in unison.

……

Taiyuan North Gate.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou finished breakfast and came to the north gate early to greet them.

Last night, Li Yunlong and Boss Chen had already contacted and invited Boss Chen to come over to discuss the price and receipt.

This time.

The bombing of Tokyo, Japan and the bombing of the Xianghe aircraft carrier, Boss Chen did not give a specific price code in advance, and the price code should be determined according to the results after the bombing.

Now.

Taiyuan's Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport have been fully repaired, and these two airports can accommodate more than 250 aircraft.

Moreover, since the 4th Air Brigade participated in the Eighth Route Army, there were more than 150 pilots in the Eighth Route Army.

These are elite pilots, not only fighters, but also bombers, transport planes and reconnaissance planes.

So this time to meet Boss Chen, Li Yunlong planned to ask Boss Chen to arrange delivery of all the planes.

When the time comes, pilots can be allowed to fly bombers, fighters, and transport planes at any time according to the needs of combat missions.

It is equivalent to having more than 150 pilots and playing the effect of more than 300 pilots.

After the 4th Air Brigade passed the examination and all the planes were in place, Li Yunlong began to prepare for the action against the devil's air force in Central China.

lest the devil air force in central China keep bombing the southwestern rear areas such as Shancheng.

Although the head of the headquarters is also in Taiyuan, Boss Chen does not contact the headquarters, but only hands over to Li Yunlong and others.

In this regard, the head of the headquarters did not say much, and only asked Li Yunlong and others to entertain Boss Chen.
