Zentaro Miyano didn't want to deceive Nanahachi Yamamoto either.

In the Battle of Midway, the Japanese lost the advantage of aircraft carriers.

In the Battle of Kuah Island, which lasted for half a year, in addition to the army's cannon fodder, the navy also suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese Navy lost two battleships, as well as a large number of destroyers, carrier-based aircraft, land-based aircraft, and excellent pilots, which could not be compensated for by Japan's industrial and educational capabilities.

After the defeat in the Kuah Island operation, the Military Command Department and the Combined Fleet did not hold a meeting to examine the reasons for the defeat in the operation.

Instead, they hurriedly carried out the New Guinea landing operation and the "いい operation".

Not surprisingly, both the New Guinea landing operation and the "Operation い" were defeated.

So in order not to let General Yamamoto Seven Eight fall into despair and not make him sad, Miyano Zentaro chose to deceive Yamamoto Seven and Eight.

This also made Yamamoto Nanabachi believe that it was true, and felt that Zentaro Miyano was a very capable flight captain, and directly gave the order to bomb the US troops in New Guinea.

The next day.

Before the departure of the aircraft formation.

As is customary, Zentaro Miyano mobilized the pilots before the war.

Looking at this group of rookie pilots, their flying skills are not high, and their fighting spirit is not so high, Zentaro Miyano can only take them to bomb the US army.

After a year and a half of fighting between the Japanese Navy and the US Navy, the experienced pilots of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

Plus the bombing of Manchurian devil airfields and flight training grounds by strategic bombers of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils had to transfer a large number of airports and flight training grounds to the country.

The veteran bird pilots of the Devil Combined Fleet, who have a little experience, have all been consumed, and many of them are rookie pilots who have just been transferred and lack combat experience.

More than 200 Devil planes have taken off from Rabaul Airport one after another.

Zentaro Miyano and the devil pilots looked back at the airport, and they still saw Admiral Yamamoto in a white straight naval uniform, constantly waving his military cap in encouragement.

This greatly encouraged Zentaro Miyano and the devil pilots.

This time we must defeat the US army!

The ideal is very full, but the reality is cruel.

The U.S. military has deployed a large number of lookout posts along the coastline of New Guinea, and the U.S. military has advanced radar systems.

The Devil bomber formation is still about 30 minutes away from the US military base in New Guinea.

The devil bomber formation was discovered by the US military.

As the piercing air defense sirens sounded, the transport ships in the military port and the bombers on the airfield quickly took cover.

The US fighter jets quickly took off and waited in the air for the devil's fighters.

With the arrival of the devil plane, the air battle is on the verge of breaking out!

The two sides fought in the airspace of 300 square nautical miles.

The devil's results were not good, and the ammunition and fuel were about to run out, so in desperation, Zentaro Miyano had to order to return.

Over the next few days, Zentaro Miyano organized two more bombing campaigns.

But the results were not good, and even dozens of Japanese planes and dozens of pilots were involved.

In the three air raid bombing operations, Zentaro Miyano and the rookie pilots of the devil did their best, but only 5 US warships and a few planes were shot down.

Rabaul Airport.

Inside the Devil's Command Post.

"Your Excellency, after three air raids and bombing operations, our Air Force Flying Squadron destroyed the US military in New Guinea at the cost of losing 48 aircraft... 26 ships and more than 200 aircraft!"

Looking at Yamamoto Shichihachi's expectant eyes, Zentaro Miyano reported to Senior General Yamamoto Shichihachi.

"Yo Si!"

Yamamoto Nanabachi stood up suddenly, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

Yamamoto thought to himself, "In vain, I flew to Rabaul Airport to motivate the warriors."

It seems that it was my act of motivation that caused the pilots to soar in combat effectiveness and defeat the U.S. military.

Destroyed 26 U.S. ships and more than 200 aircraft

American aircraft, the tide of war in the South Pacific has been reversed.

"Miyano-kun, you have worked hard, go back and rest, I will personally ask His Majesty the Locust for your credit."

Nanhachi Yamamoto patted Zentaro Miyano on the shoulder, his expression was satisfied.

"This is all under the command of His Excellency the General, and I dare not ask for credit."

Zentaro Miyano chrysanthemum tightened.

Asking His Majesty the Locust for credit, isn't it revealing the stuffing?

Those rookie pilots don't know about their exploits.

But the matter has come to this, and Zentaro Miyano can only continue to deceive.

"Miyano-kun is still too modest."

The expression on the face of the seventh and eighth generals of Yamamoto was even more satisfied.

"Hey."

Zentaro Miyano bowed his head suddenly, turned around and walked away quickly.

After Zentaro Miyano left, Yamamoto Nanachi walked quickly to the map and said in a deep voice: "The tide of the war in the South Pacific has been reversed, and now the enemy is weak and I am strong, I have decided to inspect the locust bases in the Buin and Shortland Islands to boost morale in order to win the final victory!"

In Yamamoto's view, the reason why the flying team was able to achieve such a big result was entirely because he went to the airport to boost morale.

It's the same as the ancient emperors.

Therefore, Yamamoto Shichihachi decided to inspect every locust army base to boost the morale of all locust troops.

The locust army, which is boosted by morale, will inevitably soar in combat effectiveness.

Then they attacked the U.S. forces in a big way and won the South Pacific War in one fell swoop.

A group of devil staff officers were shocked and vigorously opposed.

But Yamamoto Nanachi was on the rise at this time, and seeing that the victory was within reach, how could he cancel the inspection plan because of the opposition of the staff officers?

Even Nanahachi Yamamoto personally drew up an inspection plan.

……

Chengde.

Inside the command post of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

"The Eighth Route Army has a total strength of about 40,000 troops, about 70 tanks, and more than 100 new 122mm howitzers."

Chief of Staff Kazuki Yamamoto handed the intelligence materials collected in his hand to the commander of the First Army, Mitsuo Nakazawa, and continued:

"According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army assembled around Chengde is a new regiment of troops of the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto's expression was solemn.

The commander of the 26th Division, Shigetoku Kuroda, the commander of the 71st Division, Noboru Nagayama, and the commander of the 57th Division, Lieutenant General Tomotsu Ito, all had solemn expressions.

Tomoyoshi Ito and the 57th Division were transferred from the Kwantung Army to Chengde to join the First Army not long ago.

Other than that.

The 1st, 26th, and 71st Divisions have been replenished for their losses in combat.

Although the soldiers who replenished these divisions were not old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, the better quality soldiers were replenished to the Japanese 11th Army, so the soldiers replenished to the First Army can only be regarded as average.

However, the 1st Division still did not regain its glory of 30,000 troops.

Although the 1st Division is still in order

In the past, it was not deprived of the title of Division A, but the total strength was the same as that of Division B, with only about 15,000 men.

In addition, in order to make up for the lack of troops, the Kwantung Army Headquarters also sent about 30,000 Manchurian puppet troops to assist the Japanese army in the Chengde area.

In this way, the total strength of the devils and the puppet army in the Chengde area is about 90,000.

90,000 against 40,000, in terms of troops, it is already an overwhelming advantage.

Normally, at this time, Mitsuo Nakazawa, Shigetoku Kuroda and others should shout that the advantage is in me.

But the enemy is a new group of eight roads!

Even with twice the superior forces, Mitsuo Nakazawa, Kazuki Yamamoto, and Shigetoku Kuroda did not dare to be careless.

Although the enemy had fewer troops, the enemy's firepower was more than ten times that of theirs.

Li Yunlong is even more known for his cunning and ferocity.

"What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa frowned, puzzled:

"I'm going to send 40,000 troops, just want to capture the important military town of Chengde?"

On the surface of the Eighth Road, there is already a tank brigade, and the firepower of two artillery brigades, and it is also the firepower of a heavy artillery brigade.

And the strongest firepower in the hands of Mio Nakazawa is nothing more than a crippled heavy artillery wing.

And there are not many shells yet.

More heart-wrenching than the crippled heavy artillery wing and the lack of shells.

The arsenal, which produced heavy artillery shells, was attacked by strategic bombers of the Eighth Route Army and had lost its ability to produce heavy artillery shells.

Although there are still some stocks in Manchuria, they are not much, and there is a lack of logistical supplies.

In the face of the air support of the Eighth Route Army, the disabled heavy artillery wing in the hands of Mitsuo Nakazawa could not exert all its firepower.

Who knows how many tanks and heavy artillery the Eighth Route Army secretly transported?

"Is the information accurate?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa asked with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, exactly."

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head suddenly, his expression revealing deep helplessness.

This intelligence data was obtained on the battlefield, and he personally went to the front line to reconnoiter the total number of tanks and heavy artillery used by the Eighth Route Army for the offensive in the past two days.

For this short but very important intelligence data, Yamamoto Kazuki almost died.

The artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce.

As for the strength of the Eighth Route New Regiment, it is estimated by Kazuki Yamamoto.

"Since the Eighth Route Army only has more than 40,000 people, then my First Army should give the new regiment a little bit of power!"

It was Lieutenant General Tomotsu Ito, commander of the 57th Division, who spoke, and his tone was a little fierce.

Although Lieutenant General Ito also knew that the new regiment was very combative, after all, he had never really fought with the new regiment.

In his opinion, his own troops have more troops than the Eighth Route Army, and they have an advantage in terms of troops.

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Kazuki Yamamoto and asked.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto only held the rank of major general, since serving as chief of staff of the First Army, he has kept all intelligence and military management in order, and has an original method of improving the spirit of bushido among soldiers.

Even the recruits who had just joined the army, after being baptized by Yamamoto Kazuki's bushido in the First Army, almost couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to be loyal to the locusts.

This made Mitsuo Nakazawa very satisfied, and he was ready to vigorously reuse Yamamoto Kazuki.

"I think what Lieutenant General Ito said makes a lot of sense."

Contrary to Mitsuo Nakazawa's expectations, Kazuki Yamamoto actually agreed with Ito's words.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto has created an original way to improve the spirit of bushido.

But Kazuki Yamamoto, who personally experienced the Battle of Nomenkan, the Battle of Shota, and the Battle of North China, also knew very well that bushido was nothing more than the courage of a horseman, not invulnerability.

So.

Kazuki Yamamoto gave the soldiers a death order, and all the soldiers arrived on the battlefield and had to kill more than 5 Eighth Route Army before they could die, and suicidal charges were strictly prohibited.

Kazuki Yamamoto continued:

"At present, our 1st Army is equipped with a new Type 4 anti-tank rocket launcher and 75mm anti-tank guns, and has some means to deal with the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

"In the face of a new group, it will never be possible to win the war by blindly being beaten."

"To deal with the new regiment of the Eighth Road, we should have the spirit of taking the initiative to attack."

"Take the initiative?" The commander of the 26th Division, Shigetoku Kuroda, had a different view, "The Eighth Route Army has air support, a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, and the infantry firepower is much stronger than that of the Locust Army. Yamamoto-kun can't be a high-level spy sent by the Eighth Route Army to the top of the Locust Army, right?"

In fact, Kuroda Shigetoku has long suspected Yamamoto Kazuki.

Otherwise, why is it that all the high-level leaders of the First Army and the North China Front Army are broken, and only Yamamoto Kazuki remains?

Of course, Kuroda Shigetoku also suspected Okamura Ninji and Tanabe Moritake

And there are Sue Seizai and others, and even suspected Nakazawa Mitsuo.

However, Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo and others have been loyal to His Majesty the Locust.

Now that Mitsuo Nakazawa has become the commander of the First Army, the biggest suspect is naturally Yamamoto Kazuki.

Kuroda Shigetoku is a straight gut, he dares to say anything, and he is not afraid of offending Yamamoto Kazuki.

"Please refrain from making such jokes."

Yamamoto Kazuki's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, if someone else said this, Yamamoto would definitely turn his face on the spot.

But after all, the other party is a veteran lieutenant general, and Yamamoto Kazuki is not good at turning his face on the spot.

Yamamoto glanced at the face of Mitsuo Nakazawa, fortunately, Mitsuo Nakazawa looked as usual, as long as His Excellency the Commander trusts and reuses me, it doesn't matter what others think.

Mitsuo Nakazawa said awe-inspiringly, "Yamamoto-kun, tell me about your plan."

"Hey."

Kazuki Yamamoto looked down and looked up again, and then said:

"Although the Locust Army and the Locust Allied Army have more troops, more than twice the total strength of the Eighth Route Army, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is more than ten times that of the Locust Army and the Locust Allied Army."

"In a frontal battle, the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance have almost no chance of victory!"

Mitsuo Nakazawa nodded in agreement.

"No frontal combat." Lieutenant General Toyama asked in a deep voice, "Is it a reverse battle?"

In addition to Mitsuo Nakazawa, several other division commanders were not very satisfied with Yamamoto Kazuki.

Kazuki Yamamoto continued, "But the locust army can achieve a partial victory, and then vigorously promote it to boost morale, and as for a more comprehensive victory, it will have to look for opportunities."

In addition to being strong on paper, the Eighth Route Army is even stronger in real strength.

Because the Eighth Route Army, especially the new regiment troops, fought with the Japanese army on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

The victories were fought a lot, and the veterans of the new regiment who remained were much more elite than the soldiers of the A Division.

Moreover, the tactical coordination between the various arms of the army is very skillful.

Coupled with the strong firepower of the new regiment, it is no longer possible to make up for it through tactics.

"A partial victory?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa's expression moved.

"Yes, partial victory."

Kazuki Yamamoto's tone is confident:

"It's unrealistic to wipe out tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army at once, but it's not impossible to eliminate thousands of Eighth Route Army!"

As soon as Yamamoto's words came out, not only Mitsuo Nakazawa, but even the eyes of Shigetoku Kuroda, Noboru Toyama and Tomotsu Ito lit up slightly.

Destroying a few thousand people of the Eighth Route Army, especially a few thousand people in the new regiment, would definitely be a great victory.

Even Prime Minister Hideji Tojo and even the locusts had to personally reward the big victory.

"Yamamoto-kun, what's your battle plan?"

Kuroda Shigetoku began to pay some attention to Yamamoto's words and asked in a deep voice.

"My battle plan is..."

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't hide it, pointed to the sand table in the war hall, and began to tell his battle plan.

……

At the same time.

Peiping.

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for two months, I miss it very much!"

As soon as Chen Feng was invited into the group, Li Yunlong laughed and gave him a hug.

Chen Feng did not come to see Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang for two months.

He had been waiting for a new business, and as soon as the new business was released, he immediately came to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

However, in the past two months, Chen Feng has not been idle, he has visited the people.

Feel the times for yourself.

In the past two months, the land reform of the Eighth Route Army has been carried out vigorously.

Land reform was not achieved overnight, and in the process of implementation, some difficulties and challenges were encountered.

Some landowners and vested interests, the gentry, Han female cadres and bullies were unwilling to give up their land and wealth, and they resisted and rebelled against the reform measures of the Eighth Route Army.

But the Eighth Route Army's reduction of the old

The people's three-year tax collection and the policy of reducing rent and interest after three years have won the support of almost all the poor people.

In addition, the equipment and distribution provided by Boss Chen have produced new grain seeds and new fertilizers in North China and the Central Plains.

New seeds and fertilizers have been tested in the northwest and southeast of Shanxi.

With the same land and the same sweat, the grain output of the common people is more than three times that of the old varieties.

Although many people in the Central Plains and North China still do not trust the new seeds and fertilizers, it is a matter of time before they are fully promoted.

And the travel during this period also made Chen Feng see that the Eighth Route Army was really a team for the welfare of the people.

In the regiment headquarters, after Li Yunlong hugged him, Zhao Gang also hugged Chen Feng.

Although Chen Feng was not a member of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang regarded Chen Feng as their closest revolutionary partner.

After the pleasantries.

Chen Feng went straight to the point and said straight to the point: "This time I came to your regiment headquarters for the second business."

"Kill the business of Admiral Seven and Eight Yamamoto, the commander of the Devil Combined Fleet?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.

Zhao Gang on the side also had bright eyes.

In the past two months, Grand Master Li has been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and wants to kill Yamamoto Qiba.

But there has been no news from Boss Chen, and Li Yunlong took the initiative to contact Boss Chen twice, but he did not get a response.

If it weren't for the protection of Boss Chen with top masters such as Yan Shuangying and Shi Aimin by his side, Li Yunlong would have suspected that Boss Chen had hung up.

"That's right!" Chen Feng nodded.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Feng heard Grand Master Li on the other side ask impatiently: "Yamamoto Qiba, this old devil, is he going to the Northeast, Central China, or South China?"

"No!" Chen Feng shook his head, "This business is overseas, to be precise, in the South Pacific."

"South Pacific?" Zhao Gang looked stunned, "Where do devils fight with the U.S. Navy?"

Yo ho!

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, this business is getting bigger and bigger, this time it's actually a cross-border business?

Li Yunlong found a map of East Asia, measured the distance from North China to the South Pacific Ocean on a scale, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chen, from Beiping to the South Pacific, the distance in a straight line alone is nearly 6,000 kilometers, and this is already the total range of our strategic bombers.
