The sound of footsteps behind him sounded, and Li Yunlong turned to see that it was the communications staff officer of the new regiment walking over quickly.

Communications Staff Officer Su Zheng reported:

"Report to the regiment commander, the leader of the independent flight squadron Yanagi Zesheng just reported to the regiment headquarters that the independent flight squadron has completed its mission, shot down more than 40 Japanese planes, and bombed the Japanese infantry and cavalry."

"There were no casualties in the independent squadron, and it is currently on its way back to Taiyuan airport."

"Haha!" When Li Yunlong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Well done!" ”

The new regiment set up a radar in the area east of Shimen City.

Once the devil's air force enters North China, it will be monitored by the radar of the new regiment.

That is to say, the devil's aviation unit, not long after flying through the Shanhaiguan, was under the surveillance of the Eighth Route Army.

The size of the devil's plane and when the devil's plane will arrive at the Jinju battlefield will be calculated by the radar unit.

At this time, the regimental headquarters of the new regiment called for an order to take off from the squadron of independently flying fighters.

When the devil planes arrived at the Jizhong battlefield, the independent flying fighter squadron of the new regiment also arrived just in time to shoot down more than 40 devil planes they called in front of the main force of tens of thousands of devils.

The new regiment is an independent fighter squadron, the squadron leader is Yanagisawa, and it also consists of 5 ace pilots and 17 elite pilots.

These 23 Sabre fighters were exchanged and withdrawn by Li Yunlong from Boss Chen for the quota of 115 aircraft.

At the beginning, after Liu Zesheng and the aces and elite pilots of the national army who came from Tou Cheng passed the examination of the Political Department of the General Headquarters, Li Yunlong immediately formed a fighter squadron.

These were aces and elite pilots who quickly mastered the flying skills and weapon systems of Sabre fighters.

Flying high-performance fighter jets and their superb flying skills, they have created another glory in the skies over the Jinju battlefield.

"Immediately report this good news to the headquarters, and send another telegram to ask the command of the Jizhong Military Region, what is the situation on their side, and can they withstand the attack of the devils?"

After laughing uncontrollably, Li Yunlong quickly put away his smile and gave an order to the communications staff officer with a calm expression.

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer straightened up, drafted two telegrams, handed them to Li Yunlong for signing, and quickly left.

Looking at the back of the communications staff officer leaving, Li Yunlong's expression was satisfied, and this battle was already getting better.

Morning.

Ding Wei, commander-in-chief of the North Road Attack Group, also sent a message that the troops' offensive is now going smoothly.

Li Yunlong called back to Ding Wei and instructed that the pace of the attack could be appropriately accelerated, but it was necessary to be cautious so as not to fall into an ambush by the devils, recover Zhangjiakou as soon as possible, and join forces with the South Road Attack Group outside Beiping City.

"Dingding-ding-"

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

An operational staff officer picked up the phone and said loudly: "Hey, this is the front-line command, what are you talking about?" Okay, I'll report to the regiment commander right away! ”

After hanging up the phone, the operational staff officer reported to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, the radar unit reports that about 40 devil planes have entered Guannei, passed through Tangshan, and are about to arrive in Beiping. ”

At present, there are three battlefields that are engaged in fierce battles, namely the Zhangjiakou battlefield, the Jinju battlefield and the Shimen City battlefield.

The Devil's plane had just entered the monitoring area of the radar unit, so the radar unit was not sure of the target of the Devil's plane.

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed, his gaze sank, stared at the map and carefully analyzed it for a moment, and said, "The target of the devil's plane this time is the battlefield in Shimen City. ”

"Order the fighter squadron of the first flight group of the new regiment to take off to the sky above Shimen City to meet the devil plane."

"The radar unit is constantly monitoring the movement of the devil's plane."

"Yes!"

The combat staff officer stood upright, then turned to leave.

After the operational staff officer left, Li Yunlong stared at the map and thought about it.

More than 40 planes of the devils have been shot down on the battlefield of Jinju, will these planes of the devils who have just entered the Guannai continue to attack?

Without air support, will the 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division continue to attack the Jizhong troops?

At this time, the interspersed troops began not to reach the designated positions.

Moreover, the main force of the new regiment has not yet captured the position of the devil puppet army in the entire Shimen City.

……

"Nani?"

"The 47th and 83rd teams of the flight have all been shattered?"

At the same time.

In the Operations Hall of the North China Front Army Headquarters in Beiping, Okamura Ninji stood up abruptly after listening to the report of communications staff officer Osamu Kitani, his expression full of disbelief.

"Hey."

Osamu Kitani bowed his head and repeated the telegram:

"The 47th and 83rd squadrons of the flight had just arrived over the battlefield and were preparing to carry out dive bombing, when more than 20 jet fighters of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared ......"

"In less than five minutes, the planes of the two locust flying teams were all shot down by enemy planes."

"Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori, commander of the 11th Division, request tactical guidance!"

Hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto and Seizo Arisue on the side, as well as a group of combat staff officers, fell into deep thought.

The command had already staggered the attack of the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army.

How could these two flying teams still be intercepted by the fighters of the Eighth Route Army?

What the hell is going on?

As soon as the two locust flying teams arrived at the Jinju battlefield, they were intercepted by the fighters of the Eighth Route Army, which shows that the Eighth Route Army even knew the time when the locust flying teams arrived on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency, General."

Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice:

"Flying the entire jade shatter of the 47th and 83rd teams can explain three things."

"First, it is very likely that the Eighth Route Army deciphered the radio of the Locust Army, and the Eighth Route Army learned from the radio signal of the Locust Army that the Locust Army Aviation Unit arrived on the battlefield of Jinju!"

"Second, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with advanced radar equipment, which can monitor the planes of the Locust Army!"

"Third ......"

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki Eagle Falcon-like gaze glanced at all the Japanese officers, including Okamura Ninji and Seizo Arisue:

"Third, there are senior spies of the Eighth Route Army in the Locust Army Headquarters, who have passed the intelligence to the Eighth Route Army!"

Kazuki Yamamoto's gaze made Okamura Ninji a little unhappy.

What's going on?

Could it be that you, Kazuki Yamamoto, suspect that I, the commander of the North China Front Army and a general of the Imperial Army, am a senior spy of the Eighth Route Army?

However, the war situation is urgent, and Okamura can't afford to worry about these details.

"Whatever the case may be."

Kazuki Yamamoto continued to say in a solemn voice:

"The 6th Flying Division, the 10th Flying Brigade and the 34th Flying Brigade of the Locust Army sent out must return to the airport in Kanwaiha."

Okamura Ninji nodded with a gloomy face, looked at Osamu Kitani and ordered:

"Mugu-kun, immediately cross the 6th Flying Division, and directly give the 10th Flying Team and the 34th Flying Team an order to cancel the combat mission and immediately return to the airport in Hashi City, Guanwai."

Previously sent the 10th Flying Sentai and the 34th Flying Sentaic, Okamura Ninji still had some luck.

I feel that the 10th team and the 34th team will be able to complete the mission and return home smoothly.

However, the 47th Flying Sentai and the 83rd Flying Sentai were all shattered, and the last bit of luck in Okamura Ningji's heart was gone.

If these two flying teams continue to the battlefield of Shimen City.

Then there will be a 99 percent probability that there will be no return, and not only will the mission of air support not be completed, but all of them will be shot down.

The two flying teams have all been shattered, the 10th and 34th flying teams are elite, and Okamura doesn't dare to bet on the 1% probability with the two elite teams.

"Hey."

Osamu Kitani bowed his head and turned to leave.

"Mu Gujun, wait a minute."

Okamura Ninji called Osamu Kitani.

"Hey."

Osamu Kitani turned.

"Immediately activate the latest codebook, and use the old password to spread false information, and see how the Eighth Route Army reacts."

Okamura thought for a moment, and then ordered.

"Hey."

Osamu Kitani's expression moved, and he turned around and walked away quickly.

"Your Excellency General, will the 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division continue to attack the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army?"

Seizo stepped forward and asked.

As for the matter of the high-level spies lurking in the headquarters, Okamura and Yusue Sei didn't even mention it.

After all, there are high-ranking spies of the Eighth Route Army in the headquarters, not for a day or two.

The Special High Division of the North China Front, the Special Service Department of the North China Organs, and even the empire itself all sent top counter-espionage experts to investigate, but nothing was found.

On the contrary, a few staff officers were arrested, and the staff officers were changed one after another, but the intelligence of the North China Front continued to leak.

The big war is imminent, and Okamura Ninji and Seizo Arisue don't want to make the people in the headquarters panic.

But secretly, there are eyeliners everywhere in the headquarters, and everyone's every move is under the surveillance of Okamura Ninji.

"What do you think?"

"Does the Locust Army continue to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong?"

Okamura Ninji didn't answer, but looked at Arisue Seizan and asked rhetorically.

"Your Excellency General, I think the Locust Army can continue to attack the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong."

有末精三 says:

"With the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, it is categorically impossible to threaten the 11th Division, the 40th Division and the 56th Division."

"And the main force of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is still continuing to attack Shimen City, so the 11th Division, the 40th Division and the 56th Division are very safe."

"However, I suggest that the cancellation of the air support mission should not be reported to the Shimen City Locust Army and the Locust Army."

At this time, the devils and puppet army in Shimen City were trying their best to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The North China Front Command has already sent a telegram to tell this devil and the puppet army.

More than an hour later, the Locust Army's fighters and bombers were about to arrive to carry out air support missions and eliminate the tank and heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, the troops of Shimen City will not be able to resist for long, the locust army will be wiped out, and the locust alliance army will be defeated.

"That's what I thought too."

Okamura nodded:

"Give orders to the locust army on the battlefield of Shimen City and the battlefield of Jinju."

"Hey."

There are three end essences bowing their heads.

……

Jinju battlefield.

"Report to the division commander, in our three attacks, three infantry brigades were heavily damaged, and one infantry brigade suffered more than half of the casualties."

The Japanese command, the chief of staff of the 11th Division, Seio Nishihara, reported to Takashi Takamori in a solemn tone:

"At present, our division has suffered about 8,000 casualties."

"Nani?" Hearing this, Ying Sen Xiao's brows furrowed, "The casualties are so big? What were the casualties of the 40th and 56th divisions? ”

While in Shimen, the 11th Division was heavily damaged by an infantry brigade.

In addition, the 12th Wing of the elite infantry was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army in the Ziyun Mountain area.

In the Jinju battlefield, the first two attacks of the 11th Division were at the brigade level, but they were heavily damaged by the ground troops of the Eighth Route Army with air support.

In the third attack, although the Eighth Route Army had no air support, it was also repelled by the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The 7th Infantry Brigade suffered nearly half of the casualties.

In the fourth attack, the 5th Infantry Brigade, which was assembled at the attack position, was attacked by the incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses directly.

The power of that kind of incendiary bomb is very terrifying, and when it explodes, it will be a large piece, and it will either die or cripple when it hits the sparks.

Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi, who personally went to the scene to watch, is still apprehensive.

At this time, Lieutenant General Takashi Takashi Takamori finally knew why the First Army would be completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army and the North China Front Army would be defeated miserably.

The gap between these weapons and equipment is too great.

Seio Nishihara replied: "The casualties of the 40th Division and the 56th Division are not large, but the offensive of their two divisions has not made much progress at present. ”

Takamori nodded, he didn't put his hopes on the 40th and 56th divisions.

The 40th Division and the 56th Division, more than two-thirds of which are recruits, how much combat effectiveness can they have?

At this moment, the communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, and bowed his head to Takashi Yingmori and reported: "Report to the commander of the division, just now the North China Front Headquarters sent a secret telegram with a new password!" General Okamura ordered us to continue the offensive and crush the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time! ”

Hearing this, Takashi frowned slightly, in the case of the locust army without air support, the best way is to retreat immediately.

The Eighth Route Army had air support, and continuing the offensive would inevitably lead to greater losses for the 11th Division.

In just a few days of fighting, the 11th Division had lost about 8,000 elite infantrymen, all of whom were the elite of the 10th Infantry Brigade and the 22nd Infantry Brigade.

Almost all of them are elite veterans, which makes the old devil Takashi Takashi tremble in distress.

However, since it was the order of General Okamura, Takashi Takashi Takamori could only carry out the order.

After all, military orders are like mountains!

Takamori pondered for a moment and said, "Nishihara-kun, immediately send the order down, and our 11th Division and the 40th Division will switch positions to attack." ”

Seio Nishihara's expression moved slightly, and then his face showed admiration.

The Eighth Route Army must have thought that it would be the troops of the 11th Division of the Locust Army that would continue to attack the main position of the Eighth Route Army next.

The air support and main elite of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably be used against the 11th Division.

At this time, if the 40th Division is transferred to attack the main position of the Eighth Route Army, it will be attacked by the main elite of the Eighth Route Army and aircraft.

The 11th Division attacked the weak position of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei, and at that time, it could capture the flank position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and then outflank and completely defeat the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

Seio Nishihara thought of an ancient Chinese allusion, Tian Ji horse racing.

Use the inferior horses of the locust army to attack the superior horses of the Eighth Route Army.

Use the superior horses of the locust army to attack the inferior horses of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the 40th Division, heavy losses were inevitable.

However, most of the 40th Division are recruits, and compared to the veteran elite soldiers of the 11th Division, recruits are worthless, and it doesn't matter how many they die.

"Your Excellency the division commander is wise, I admire it!"

Seio Nishihara bowed his head suddenly, turned around and went to give the order.
