Yamamoto Kazuki did not expect that even the positions of the three artillery wings in a concealed state would be shelled by the Eighth Route Army.

didn't have time to think too much, Yamamoto Kazuki and a group of devil commanders, after giving orders to the three infantry wings in front, went straight away.

But the way for the devil officers to return to Chengde has been cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

However, Yamamoto has a special forces force by his side.

Almost all of these special agents are elites selected from the First Division, and many of them are highly educated and only follow Yamamoto's orders.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army are exchanging fire with the devil infantry.

Suddenly, an elite army of devils came out and tore a hole with a dense network of firepower.

Yamamoto and the devil officers quickly drilled through this opening.

Seeing that Yamamoto had already retreated, the devil of the secret service team quickly slipped away.

By the time the Eighth Route Army reacted and blocked the opening, Yamamoto and the special forces had already fled.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not pursue deeply, as long as the large army of devils did not escape.

Yamamoto and the devil officers at the command post escaped by chance.

But the devils in the encirclement are not so lucky.

The three infantry wings were blocked in the encirclement, and nearly 10,000 devils were in the encirclement, like ants on a hot pot.

After the interspersed troops quickly annihilated the devils of the two squadrons, they quickly occupied the high ground and blocked the passage for the devils to flee to Chengde.

There are so many devils, and they are all combat units, and their combat effectiveness is still there.

However, the devil commander Yamamoto has fled, lost his unified command, and is trapped in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

The devil usually has a lot of combat effectiveness, and he can only play two or three points at most.

Chengde direction.

The devils sent 3 wings of devil reinforcements in an attempt to open the passage for the devils in the encirclement.

However, with the support of air support and artillery fire, the interspersed troops managed to resist wave after wave of attacks by devils.

In addition, the other 3 heavy battalions of the new regiment were not idle.

With such a big piece of fat, it is impossible for the newly formed 16th Heavy Battalion to eat the devils in the encirclement in a short period of time.

3 heavy synthetic battalions and 1 heavy artillery battalion came up to reinforce them, opened their bloody mouths, and bit down on the devils of the 3 wings.

The war of annihilation lasted until the next morning.

Seeing that the devils in the encirclement had been eliminated, the reinforced devils quickly withdrew to the outer positions of Chengde City.

After this battle, the four heavily armed composite battalions of the Eighth Route Army pushed the battle line to the city of Chengde.

……

The battle situation in Chengde was passed to Beiping.

At nine o'clock in the morning, as soon as Li Yunlong finished breakfast, Wang Dehou reported to him:

"Regiment Commander, Deputy Regiment Commander Xing sent a telegram in Chengde, the main force of the 5th Heavy Battalion, the 13th Heavy Battalion, the 15th Heavy Battalion and the 16th Heavy Battalion of the New Formation, about 10 kilometers southeast of Chengde, fought a beautiful battle of annihilation, destroying more than 10,000 people from the three infantry wings of the Japanese army..."

"Destroy the devil's 3 infantry wings? More than 10,000 people?"

Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at it, and smiled:

"It seems that the newly formed heavy composite battalion of our regiment is stronger than I imagined."

The Chengde battlefield was so lively yesterday, Li Yunlong naturally knew about it.

The latest news that Li Yunlong received before going to bed yesterday was that the devils were frantically attacking the interspersed troops of the new regiment, trying to tear a hole in the encircled devils.

However, it is a pity that the five flying groups of the new regiment did not sleep all night last night and were providing air support to the Chengde battlefield all night.

Coupled with the artillery fire support of 2 heavy artillery battalions, in one night, there is a high probability that the devils will not be able to capture the hill of the new regiment interspersed with troops.

There was also a lot of surprise in Grand Master Li's laughter.

Let the new troops fight in a round battle, but the new troops killed more than 10,000 ghosts

Son, and hit the city of Chengde?

This reminded Li Yunlong of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.

The division headquarters asked Li Yunlong to lead a new regiment to seize Lion's Brain Mountain and block the brigade headquarters of the 4th Brigade to reinforce to the east.

However, Li Yunlong not only led the new regiment to completely annihilate the brigade headquarters of the 4th Brigade, but also recovered the important military town of Yangquan.

If the fight continues like this, Li Yunlong suspects that the troops participating in the round battle will probably have to defeat Chengde.

Wang Dehou reported the general course of the Battle of Chengde to Li Yunlong.

"A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find."

After listening to this, Li Yunlong nodded, his expression was very satisfied:

"This time, the headquarters has sent us a lot of experienced commanders."

After this battle in Chengde, Li Yunlong suddenly gained some confidence in the combat effectiveness of the new regiment.

After all, it was a newly formed unit, and the training time was short, and many fighters were exposed to heavy artillery, tanks, and semi-automatic and automatic firearms for the first time.

There are many problems, such as the need to run in the coordination between commanders and subordinates, the need for training in coordinated operations between various arms of the armed forces, and the lack of tactical training.

But.

Li Yunlong ignored the fact that almost all of the deputy commanders of the newly organized heavy battalions were commanders who had experienced a hundred battles.

In the past, Li Yunlong, whether it was tactical command ability or ability to lead troops, was almost the same level as Deputy Regiment Commander Liang.

That is, a few years ago, Li Yunlong had great luck, and when he met such a noble person as Boss Chen, his abilities in all aspects improved by leaps and bounds.

There are so many commanders who have experienced a hundred battles and have perfect command experience, plus the battalion, company, and platoon officers of the heavy battalions, almost all of them were exchanged by Li Yunlong with heavy firepower from various brother units, and in the newly formed battalions, half of the veterans are elite, and there is a huge advantage in firepower.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the newly organized heavy battalions is three points greater than Li Yunlong imagined.

"The troops who order the rotation battle must not fight street battles with devils."

Suddenly, Li Yunlong's tone became a little serious:

"In addition, after more than ten days, the three new heavy battalions of the Chengde Wheel will be withdrawn, and the other new heavy battalions will continue to fight the devils."

"One or two new heavy battalions are not strong."

"All the new heavy battalions are really strong."

"After all the new heavy battalions are on the battlefield, the new units adapt to the tactics of the new weapon system and train enough technical troops to once the round battle is over."

"When the time comes—"

"Yes!" Wang Dehou's eyes showed anticipation.

Judging from the performance of the newly formed and reloaded synthetic battalion in Chengde, which is currently in rotation.

The combat effectiveness of a newly formed heavy composite battalion is stronger than that of a devil's second-class division.

When the newly formed heavy battalion has formed combat effectiveness, it will be even more able to beat a devil's B-level division.

By that time, the new regiment would have a lot of veterans and elites, as well as enough technical troops.

After the next battle, the new regiment will be able to expand by more than 10 or 20 troops.

When there are enough troops to drive the devils out of China, then the "Cloud Dragon Barbecue" and "Counteroffensive" plans can be launched.

At that time, you can...

Thinking of this, Wang Dehou laughed twice and went to convey the order.

……

At the same time.

Chengde.

The headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

It was learned that the three infantry wings in the encirclement were almost completely annihilated.

There was only news that Shizuo Nakamura and a small number of soldiers had escaped.

The Chief of Staff, Major General Kazuki Yamamoto, closed his eyes in agony.

In his plan, he originally thought that leading the troops would be able to fight a beautiful war of annihilation.

Of course.

This battle of annihilation is indeed beautiful, but it is for the Eighth Route Army.

Yamamoto's eyes were not as sharp as they used to be, and instead they were blank, as if the whole person had been lost in an instant

Fight.

He took out the short knife with a swish, and prepared to disembowelment himself to thank the locust, and he didn't even need to introduce the wrong person.

But at this moment, Mitsuo Nakazawa walked in quickly: "Yamamoto-kun!"

"Your Excellency, Commander." When Yamamoto saw Mitsuo Nakazawa, he bowed his head and said, "The responsibility for this defeat is borne by me alone, and I am ready to apologize to His Majesty the Locust, Your Excellency Commander, you have come just in time, please be my misnefactor, but please forgive Yamamoto, I can no longer assist you."

"Yamamoto-kun!"

Mitsuo Nakazawa persuaded in a deep voice:

"Because a defeat has to be disemboweled, then I'm afraid that most of the officers of the Imperial Army will have to apologize for their sins, if everyone is disemboweled, who will lead the troops to fight?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa saw that Kazuki Yamamoto wanted to die.

But he didn't want to watch Yamamoto Kazuki, an excellent emperor, die like this.

"Not a failure." Yamamoto Kazuki said dejectedly, "From Nomenkan in 1939 to Chengde in 1943, I have rarely won battles."

Yamamoto thought about it carefully, except for leading the special team to eliminate some small units and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the past few years, he really hasn't won any battles.

Nakazawa Sanfu patted Yamamoto on the shoulder: "Yamamoto-kun, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the year before last, I led the 1st Division to enter the northwest of Shanxi, and was ambushed by Li Yunlong with 50,000 main forces of the Eighth Road, and in that battle my 1st Division's 20,000 main forces were broken by elite jade, and the defeat was much greater than you this time, and I didn't have a disembowelment, why did you do this?"

"Only by staying alive can we defeat the Eighth Route Army!"

"If you die, you will never be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army!"

"If you lose this battle, I will take most of the responsibility, and the Kwantung Army Command will definitely not order you to apologize!"

After speaking, Mitsuo Nakazawa looked at Kazuki Yamamoto.

Seeing that Yamamoto Kazuki was a little moved, he took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Yamamoto Kazuki:

"Yamamoto-kun, this is a telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters last night, the base camp has formulated the 'No. A Operation Plan', preparing to mobilize more than 1 million elite army forces to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China, you have been fighting with the Eighth Route Army for many years, and you know the Eighth Route Army very well, this 'No. A Battle Plan', the empire needs talents like you!"

Yamamoto looked stunned, and took the telegram from Mitsuo Nakazawa's hand and read it.

After reading the telegram, Yamamoto found out that Mitsuo Nakazawa really wasn't lying to him, and the base camp really made a battle plan for No. A.

More than 1 million locust armies attacked the Eighth Route Army in North China!

This is a bet on national luck!

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes gradually became solid and sharp, and the whole person gradually regained his fighting spirit, and even his breathing became a little short.

Since ancient times, Japan's history has been a fierce chess game, full of daring and adventurous strategies.

The devil officer also likes stud, and Yamamoto Kazuki is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is intoxicated with decisive battles.

Faced with the two powerful forces of the Eighth Route Army and the American Army, the Japanese Army prepared to attack the Eighth Route Army at Stud, defeated the Eighth Route Army, and captured powerful weapons and rich war materials to expand its own troops. In order to achieve this goal, Japan did not hesitate to pay a huge price, even blocking the national fortunes.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes returned to murderousness, "I know what to do!"

In fact, Yamamoto Kazuki didn't want to die, otherwise he wouldn't have led the special team to break out of the encirclement.

Mitsuo Nakazawa gave him a step down, and he naturally got off the donkey down the slope.

"Yo Si."

Mitsuo Nakazawa patted Kazuki Yamamoto on the shoulder:

"That's right, a good Japanese imperial official can't be knocked down by defeat."

……

Two days later.

South pacific.

Command of the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army.

"Report!"

"Come in."

"General, our telecommunications department has just deciphered a Japanese naval telegram."

A Mi army colonel held a telegram in his hand, walked quickly into the fleet headquarters, handed it with both hands and reported the contents of the telegram:

"Tomorrow morning, Admiral Shichihachi Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, will take a plane to Shortland Island to inspect."

"Watt?"

When Chester William Nimitz, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Army, heard this, he suddenly stood up, his expression full of incredulity.

Because Shortland Island is so close to Kuah Island, there is only one island between the two islands, and Barral Island is the size of an airport.

The US military aviation unit stationed on Kuah Island can fly over and carry out air strikes in the blink of an eye.

Yamamoto Shichihachi was the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the same rank as himself.

Nimitz couldn't figure out why Yamamoto Qihachi's head was so iron, and he actually had to go to the front line to inspect the troops?

Taking a deep breath, Nimitz asked, "Is the information reliable?"

"Reliable."

Colonel Mi Jun replied:

"The Japanese army used the latest code, and it took us four hours to decipher it."

Nimitz took the telegram and looked at it, and he found that Yamamoto's itinerary was actually very detailed:

From Rabaul, fly for about 1.5 hours to Bougainville, then another 15 minutes or so to Bouin, and another 5 minutes or so to Shortland.

Hearing the colonel say this, Nimitz no longer doubted the authenticity of this telegram.

But after getting this telegram, Nimitz was a little hesitant about whether to kill Yamamoto Nanachichi.

As a result, Nimitz immediately convened a military conference.

After reading the telegram, all the officers of the United States Navy were stunned.

Watt?

Yamamoto Shichihachi actually dared to take a plane to inspect near Kuah Island?

Is it so brave?

Don't you want to die?

"With this travel information, it will be easy for us to kill the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Nanhachi Yamamoto."

Nimitz raised the telegram in his hand and said in a worried tone:

"But I'm worried that after killing Nanachi Yamamoto, the Japanese base camp will send a better person to replace him."

"After all, under Yamamoto's command, the Japanese Combined Fleet was defeated by us at Midway and Kuah."

Spruance, commander of the 5th Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army, said, "General. With all due respect, even if Yamamoto is killed, it will be difficult to have a good person to replace him, and Yamamoto is the best commander in the Japanese naval community."

After a pause, Spruance said, "Yamamoto is to the Japanese Navy what you are to the U.S. Navy."

This sycophant made Nimitz's heart flutter.

Still, Nimitz consulted President Luo Cripple.

Then the order was given: "Immediately convey Yamamoto's itinerary to the Kuah Island Air Force and kill Yamamoto!"

The Mi Army Air Force on Kuah Island accepted the task of assassinating Yamamoto and worked out an attack plan overnight, deciding to adopt the plan of intercepting the landplane in the air and using P-38 "Lightning" fighters to carry out the attack mission.

When it was almost midnight, the combat plan of the Mi Army's aviation unit was all determined: it was divided into two attack groups, one group was the attack group, which was in charge of Lanfeier, with a total of 6 people and 4 aircraft; The other group is the cover group, which is headed by Michel, with a total of 12 people and 8 aircraft.

……

Early the next morning.

The sky was only slightly clearer.

Rabaul Airport.

Admiral Yamamoto walked out of the headquarters, and the commander of the Third Fleet, Jizaburo Ozawa, walked over quickly: "Your Excellency, this trip is too dangerous, please cancel the inspection plan."

Not only Jizaburo Ozawa, but even Yamamoto's staff and staff officers were strongly opposed.

Yamamoto Qihachi was convinced that the Mi army on Kuah Island was already at the end of its power, and it was not a threat to him at all.

Major General Takaji Kashishima also walked over quickly and persuaded, "Those stupid pigs in the Ministry of Communications actually used a telegram to communicate

Know the bases, Your Excellency, this is dangerous, you should not go."

Nanahachi Yamamoto waved his hand and said, "Since all the military bases have been notified, everything is ready, so I must go."

At this moment, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yu Hengtang, walked over quickly and reported:

"Your Excellency, two Type 1 land attack aircraft, 6 Type 309 Zero fighters from the Department of Aviation, are ready."

Lieutenant General Yu Hengtang also persuaded Yamamoto seven or eight, but the dissuasion was ineffective.

"Yo Si!" Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction, "I'll leave after breakfast."

In the anxious mood of the devil officers, the devil officers quickly finished breakfast.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, eight officers, including Senior General Yamamoto No. 78 and Lieutenant General U Heng-hing, flew in the direction of Bougainville Island under the escort of six Zero fighters.

At the same time.

At a distance of several hundred kilometers from the island of Bougainville, an aircraft carrier is sailing.

On the deck of the side of the aircraft carrier, Wang Hexin and Li Shaorong led 13 pilots to get ready.

On the flight deck, 15 jet carrier-based fighters majestically cocked their twin tails, ready to strike.

"This flight combat mission, go to the sky over Bougainville Island, and snipe the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Seven and Eight Yamamoto!"

Li Shaorong, who was in charge of leading the team, spoke in a fierce tone:

"On this flight combat mission, we may encounter the Mi Army Air Force!"

"But!"

"No matter what the cost, we must get the job done!"

"Yes!"

A group of aces and elite pilots, including Wang Hexin, shouted in unison.

Even if the plane is used to collide with the enemy plane, the mission must be completed, and even if it is confronted by the Mi Army Air Force, Yamamoto must not be allowed to escape easily.

"In order to prevent exposure, the use of radios during the flight is strictly prohibited, only the compass and speedometer can be used!"

After Li Shaorong finished speaking, Deputy Captain Wang Hexin glanced at the pilots and added:

"In order to avoid the devil's radar, we must fly at a low altitude and in a detour!"
