Jiang Qiang said again: "Chief of the General Staff, although we have won a small victory, it is obvious that the devil will never give up on this, there will definitely be similar actions, maybe it will be a protracted battle!" We have to summarize the gains and losses of this air battle, the past does not forget the teacher of the future, let's eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I will leave this matter to you! Chang Yuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, please rest assured, this is my business, and it will be done properly!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Qiang nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, I won't say more nonsense, now that the air raid sirens have been lifted, we should be busy now!" After speaking, Jiang Qiang took the lead in walking to the door. Walking to the first floor, Jiang Qiang looked up at the cloudless sky, there was no trace of fierce air battles at all, and everything was calm again.

"Humans are still too small compared to nature!" Jiang Qiang couldn't help but sigh, and then took out PHS and called Tingting to keep her safe: "Hey, Tingting, it's okay now, let's win!" ......""Haha! Great, our Air Force has won another big victory! "I'll just say, run to us to spread wild, the little devil is completely killing himself!" "If you don't come, who won't be an afterthought? Who has been worshipping God and seeking Buddha all the time? "Hey, hey!"

"That's it! It's okay now, everyone can go home! "Wow, I thought it was going to happen, but nothing happened!" "That's not because we have a powerful air force, how can we allow little devils to go wild here!" As the air raid sirens were lifted, soldiers and civilians hiding in various civil air defense projects came out one after another.

When everyone saw that their homes had not been damaged, the only little worry disappeared in an instant, and everyone was in a very happy mood!

Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army in Baoding. Since the order of the Third Aircraft Group to launch the "Heavenly Punishment Operation", the old devil Tada Jun has not had a moment of peace and has been walking around the combat hall. Although the high-ranking and powerful people have a very high vision, Tada Jun really can't be calm at this moment, because the success or failure of this air battle is very important.

If it wins, the Flying Tigers of the Shandong Group Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the Shandong Group Army will be equivalent to a tiger with sharp teeth pulled out, and it will lose the capital to compete with the Japanese Air Force. The North China Front and the Huaxia Dispatch Army could unscrupulously launch a ground offensive and completely solve this serious problem in one go.

Tada Jun will naturally become famous in a fight, and his future will be bright, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to general. If it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Japanese Empire, the offensive and defensive situation will be reversed in an instant, the long-planned encirclement and annihilation plan will be completely ruined, and the Tiger Army can only adopt passive defense for a long time. Therefore, this battle can only be won and not lost for Tada Jun! “……”

The senior generals of the dozen devils were also frowning, their faces were so gloomy that they could wring out water, although they all wanted to vomit with their mouths in their mouths, but everyone was silent at this time. Except for the sound of Tada Jun pacing back and forth, the entire battle hall was terrifyingly quiet, and it is no exaggeration to say that even a needle can be heard clearly at this time! "It's been more than 1 hour, and there should be a result of the empty victory!"

After a long time, Tada Jun looked down at his watch, and finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at Kinoshita Toshitoshi with a solemn expression and said, "Kinoshita-kun, is there no definite news so far?" Kinoshita Min hurriedly replied: "It is true that there is no news yet, please rest assured, Your Excellency the commander, I have already instructed that if there is any news, I will report it as soon as possible!" ”

"Yo Xi! I believe that the Great Japanese Empire will win! "Tada Jun can only cheer himself up." Knock knock! ”

At this time, a ghost intelligence officer knocked on the door in a panic. "Yao Shaozuo, come in!" Kinoshita Toshitoshi immediately waved his hand and called Kei Yao to him, and asked anxiously, "Is there any specific news now?" Yao Kei hurriedly replied: "Report to Your Excellency General, the fighters of the Third Flying Group have returned one after another, and the specific situation is currently being counted."

However, according to the accounts of several pilots, our side suffered a lot of losses in this battle and did not take much advantage! It is said that the Huaxia anti-aircraft artillery is extremely powerful, and the number of Huaxia fighters is much more than we imagined,......" Hearing this, Kinoshita Toshitoshi couldn't help but have a sudden twitch in his heart, and looked at Yao Kei with wide eyes and shouted: "Nani? Are you saying we lost this battle? How could this be! ”

Seeing that Kinoshita Min was about to eat people, Yao Kei trembled with fright, and quickly explained: "The current situation is not perfect, and the battle damage and results need to be further counted. Tada Jun walked over quickly, and ordered sharply with a blue face: "Yours, go and verify the situation immediately, and quickly count the results!"

By the way, now find a few pilots who participated in the war to report to the headquarters! "Hello!" Yao Keiru was amnestied, and he quickly turned around and ran, not daring to stay for a moment at all. "Nani? In this battle, the Japanese Empire lost 147 fighters, 8 bombers, and only destroyed less than 100 Huaxia fighters? It is expected that there will be about 500 Huaxia fighters! ......""Bagaya Road! How so? ”

After nearly an hour of busy work, Tada Jun finally received the final result report, and suddenly the whole person was not good.

Although this battle was not a big defeat, the total battle losses far exceeded expectations, and the most important thing was that it did not inflict fatal damage on the Flying Tigers of the Shandong Group Army. "It's incredible, it's hard to imagine where they got so many advanced fighters!" Kinoshita Min's face was gloomy, but he said in a somewhat fortunate tone:

"This time, thanks to the Imperial Navy's latest fighter jets participating in the battle, otherwise our Third Aircraft Group would not be an opponent at all!"

"Yaga!" Tada Jun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, and only after a long time did he shout murderously: "We can't let the blood of the imperial warriors be shed in vain, this battle has already begun, and we must not give up halfway." Okabe-kun, you immediately get in touch with the Combined Fleet Command and ask them to continue to cooperate with the Army Air Force, and completely annihilate the Huaxia Air Force no matter what! ”

The clay man also has three points of fire, not to mention that he is still an old devil who treats human life like a mustard, Tada Jun felt the inexplicable humiliation at the same time, his anger and killing intent both exploded, and he couldn't wait to mobilize all the combat planes to blow up the Shandong area now. "Hello!" Okabe Naosaburo paused heavily, things have come to this point, there is really nothing to say except to continue to attack hard, and he can't just retract after a hard battle.

In this way, they will only become a laughing stock, despised and ridiculed, and their future career will become a bubble, so at this time, they must grit their teeth no matter what.

"Fire ~ Fire ~?" As soon as the devil's plane failed, the fire brigades in various counties sounded the alarm bell and rushed out, rushing to the burning fire points as fast as possible. The gendarmerie brigade, the police force, and the garrisons of various defense areas also pulled out their teams at this time and participated in a series of aftermath matters such as restoring order, fighting fires and disaster relief, searching and rescuing the wounded, and searching for devils!

In order to create the illusion of large-scale bombing for Jiang Qiang, the devils sent a large number of bombers to carry out fierce bombardment on the coastal defense line, as well as Changshan County, Zouping County, Hengtai County and other towns. One of them is the town of Tianzhuang in Hengtai County, which was bombed almost devastating and turned into ruins.

"It's over! It's all over! "Alas! How can we live now! "brutes! Why do you always come to harm us? "After the air raid sirens were lifted and people came out of the air raid shelters one after another, they found that the once prosperous and beautiful town had been destroyed by the war.

With the exception of a few military buildings and government buildings still standing, the entire town has been razed to the ground, with ruins and burning fires.

Seeing everything in front of them, all the people's hearts became cold, most of them were refugees from other places, and there were many people who had been transferred from Changshan County and Zouping County. They have all suffered the hardship of having their homes destroyed and displaced, and finally found a peaceful and happy place to live, but not long after the good days began, their new homes were blown up by devils.

There are also Ma Yaonan's grandmother, mother An, wife Wang, cousin Ma Dezhai, uncle Ma Maojun, Ma Tianmin's wife Zhu Ming, Ma Xiaoyun's wife Shi Guang and other Ma family members who have just arrived in Hengtai County for a few days.

Originally, they had a foothold in Qixia County, but later after Ma Yaonan led the anti-Japanese guerrillas to recover Yutai County, in order to support Ma Yaonan's reconstruction work and revolutionary work, the Ma family could only abandon the privileged life in Qixia County and move back to Yutai County. However, due to Jiang Qiang's hatred value was too deep, the little devils made a comeback to gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Shandong Group Army, but as the weakest anti-Japanese guerrillas, they were at the forefront, and naturally became the first target of the devils.

Yutai County not only suffered serious destruction, but also faced a greater threat at all times, so the Ma family retreated to the Shandong Group Army defense area with many ordinary people. Jiang Qiang made proper arrangements for the people who had been evacuated from the red zone, not only distributing relief materials, but also arranging shelter.

Unfortunately, today was once again subjected to a devastating air raid, and the entire town was almost destroyed, and it took not a day or two to rebuild. Looking at the ruins of the town, Ma Dezhai said in a chagrinated tone: "Alas, I knew that it would be like this, we shouldn't have moved out of Qixia County in the first place, it is the safest place!" ”

Ma Maojun nodded with great pain and agreed: "Yes, Yaonan, they are still too weak compared to the devil, once the devil moves seriously, where can he keep it?" Let's still think about things too simply, if we continue, the Ma family's foundation will be lost in our hands sooner or later! ”

Ma Yaonan's grandfather Ma Xibin had three sons, the eldest son Ma Maojun and the second son Ma Maowei, all of whom studied in private schools; The third son, Ma Maoyi, died young. When he became an adult, his eldest son, Ma Maojun, assisted his father in the family's agricultural work, and his second son, Ma Maowei, opened a private school at home to teach people to read. By the time of the "77" incident, the Ma family had owned more than 130 acres of land, more than 100 houses, many workshops and shops for silk weaving, weaving, oil extraction, and winemaking, and employed more than 40 workers and long-term workers.

In order to protect the family against bandits, the Ma family had its own courtyard protection team, and purchased 3 box guns, 7 foreign guns, dozens of earthen guns, dozens of earthen guns, and several earthen cannons, which were well-known in Changshan County at that time. Ma Maojun, who has a strong sense of family, really has little interest in anti-Japanese resistance and revolution, and what he wants to do most in his heart is to inherit the Ma family's incense and glorious lintel.

When he returned to Yutai County for development before, he mainly took a fancy to Ma Yaonan's status and had the idea of returning to his hometown, but Ma Maojun did not expect that things would develop to this point. Not only did they not take advantage of it, but they became homeless refugees.

Thinking of this, Ma Maojun felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, regretted it to death, and the most important thing was that he felt sorry for his dead father and failed his dying entrustment. An Shi said apologetically: "Big brother, I'm really sorry to have burdened you again!" When I see Yaonan one day, I will definitely ask him to find a way to compensate you well! ”

"Brother and sister, what you said is out of sight, I didn't mean that just now, don't get me wrong!" Ma Maojun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I want to say that the person who knows the times is Junjie, and the head seat is not thin on our Ma family, if it wasn't for the head seat to send a plane to take us to Qixia County for refuge, our family may not know what to be like by the devil."

Moreover, the head seat also provided Yaonan with so many weapons and military supplies, otherwise they would have been able to hold on until now? To be a man to know how to be grateful, our Ma family should not take so many benefits from others, and think about self-reliance, I blush as soon as I talk about it! "Who says it's not, I have always thought that it is the wisest thing to do to go to the main seat, but I can't persuade Xiaoyun as a woman!"

"Yes! The same is true for the people of heaven, if you are determined to follow Yaonan to resist Japan, I have no choice! When it came to their hearts, Zhu Ming and Shi Guangshen nodded in agreement. An sighed lightly: "What everyone means, I understand! It's just that you don't know Yaonan's fierce temper, even if he recognizes something, even ten cows can't pull it back!

Speaking with a conscience, I also think what you said is very reasonable, and you will learn about Entu as a person, not to mention that you are also a devil with the general seat! When we have a chance to turn back, we will persuade Yaonan together! The most important thing for us in front of us is to work together to tide over the difficulties, and the rest are all trivial things" Ma Yaonan's wife Wang hurriedly answered: "Yes, we have survived such difficult and dangerous days before, what is this difficulty at present!"

As long as we are okay, the family business will be able to earn back sooner or later! "Alright! Let's take it one step at a time! Ma Maojun waved his hand lightly, not wanting to continue, but the bold idea in his heart became more and more firm. At this time, Tan Shanjian, the mayor of Tianzhuang Town, Jinxiang County, walked into the crowd with several staff members, stood on a pile of ruins and raised his arms and shouted:

"Folks, don't worry and don't panic, the little devil has that little ability, and now he has been repelled by our Shandong Group Army! The home is destroyed, let's just rebuild, what's the big deal? I think back then, didn't we always sit on a self-made ,......" "Mayor Tan, that's what I said, but now we are all homeless, without food, clothing, and nowhere to live, how can we live this life?" ”

"Yes, I was in too much of a hurry today, and I panicked for a while, but I didn't bring anything, and I'm penniless now!" "Mayor Tan, you are a good official, please give us a way to live!" "Woo woo, we worked hard to rebuild our home, we worked hard for a whole year, and now everything is ruined!" "Will the little devil hit us?" "This world still doesn't let people live?" "The little devil is really a group of beasts, and sooner or later he will be punished!"

Before Tan Shanjian finished speaking, the people below couldn't help but start complaining, and they couldn't stop talking. Thinking of a good home and the fruits of hard work, and becoming nothing again, the more everyone talked, the more excited they became, the more sad they became, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Folks, be quiet, please listen to me!" Tan Shanjian was naturally able to understand everyone's mood, and did not show the slightest impatience, and yelled a few times before everyone quieted down again. Tan Shanjian then shouted loudly: "Please believe in the general seat, believe in the government, believe in our Shandong army soldiers, we are confident that we have the ability to smash all the schemes of the little devils, and we will definitely not let the people under our rule starve and be displaced."

I believe that the headquarters will soon introduce relevant policies, as long as everyone and the government are of one mind, in accordance with the instructions of the headquarters, everyone works together as one, all enemies are paper tigers, all difficulties are vulnerable, victory will always belong to us! "Really?" "That's great!" "Long live Soza!" "Long live the Shandong Army!" "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "The Shandong army will win!"

Jiang Qiang's prestige naturally did not matter, and the credibility of the government of the Shandong Group Army Defense District was also extremely strong, and at this time, he received a personal commitment from the mayor of Tianzhuang Town, and the hearts of the surrounding people suddenly warmed up, and they were no longer worried and panicked. As long as there is no shortage of food and clothing, as long as the Tiger Ben Army can keep the devil out of the door, there is really nothing to worry about.

"Fire ~ Fire ~?" At this time, more than a dozen fire trucks came to the town of Grange with alarm bells. Seeing this, Tan Shanjian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Folks, get out of the way, don't get in the way, the county fire brigade is here to help us put out the fire!" "Ah, okay!" "Folks, God helps those who help themselves, we can't just watch the firefighters help us put out the fire, we have to learn to save ourselves!" "Yes! Let's do it together to extinguish the fire and rescue the supplies! "Unity is strength!" "Hey, don't be stunned, start putting out the fire!"

Seeing that the fire brigade came from afar to help extinguish the fire, the people were moved to tears, and they didn't know who brought the rhythm, but they soon got everyone's response and joined the firefighting operation.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Qiang walked into the commander-in-chief's office with a document, and after seeing Jiang Qiang, he saluted and said: "Report to the general seat, today's battle damage statistics are out!" "Good!"

Jiang Qiang nodded, hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the document and nodded, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said in pieces: "The Air Force killed 29 people, seriously injured 14 people, completely damaged 67 fighters, and seriously damaged 31 planes that need to be overhauled.

The army suffered 43 casualties, 21 seriously wounded, and 14 anti-aircraft guns damaged. 44 civilians were killed, 35 were seriously injured, and 1,727 houses were damaged,...... "This loss is not small! Little devil, this account will be settled with you sooner or later! ”

After reading the report, Jiang Qiang took a deep breath, it is impossible to fight on the mainland without suffering losses, but now he has no ability to completely reject the enemy, so he can only bite the real sword and real gun with the devil!

Wang Qiang nodded with a heavy heart and agreed: "Yes, Mr. Zongza, the little devil is determined to eat us this time, I'm afraid there will be bigger moves in the future!" "What are you afraid of, we are originally self-made, and the big deal is to smash these jars!" The little devil wants to eat us, that's wishful thinking! ”

The so-called desirelessness is rigid, Jiang Qiang no longer has the luxury of expecting a smooth transition until the outbreak of the Pacific War, but there is no anxiety and worry in his heart. With the hard power in his hands, Jiang Qiang is not worried that he will be made to the end of his life by devils, and it is a big deal to have a "bloody battle of Stalingrad in the East", so that Shandong will become a flesh mill for devils!

After a pause, Jiang Qiang looked at Wang Qiang and said: "Strategically we must despise the enemy, and tactically we must attach importance to the enemy, what you just said is right, according to the current development trend, the little devil will not easily give up his heart before he is completely beaten and beaten!" Today they held back and did not continue the attack, tomorrow there will definitely be a more brutal bloody battle, pass my order, all departments must be prepared for the worst, we can only work together to tide over the difficulties! ”

Wang Qiang saluted heavily and said: "Please rest assured, all the sons and daughters of our Shandong Group Army will never retreat half a step and swear to fight the devil to the end!" Jiang Qiang waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are tired for a day today, go back early to rest, and comfort your family, there is a lot of movement today!" "Thank you for your concern, and I will take my leave!"

Although Wang Qiang's main identity is still Jiang Qiang's accompanying adjutant, he is no longer a man with a bag in front of him, but his actual position is the head of the guard regiment of the group army headquarters.

Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ In the early morning of August 11, the fierce air defense siren sounded again in the Shandong military defense area. Just as Jiang Qiang expected, the Japanese devils, who were unwilling to fail, launched a large-scale air raid and bombing again, but today's offensive tactics were obviously different from yesterday's. Yesterday's large-scale aerial decisive battle really hurt the little devil, and the little devil changed his offensive strategy.

The Devil's Combat Plane Group no longer dared to penetrate the hinterland and attack the tower against the air defense net, but concentrated its superior forces and launched a carpet bombing campaign against Guangrao County, Putai County, Qingcheng County, Qidong County, Zouping County, Changshan County, Hengtai County, and several other counties close to the Japanese-occupied areas.

The ground air defense units of the Shandong Group Army, which were always ready, entered the position as soon as possible, and when the devil group arrived, the extremely powerful air defense firepower network roared one after another. Violent cannon shots and explosions resounded through the sky, and blinding beams of light pierced the sky, like fireworks shooting into the sky, lighting up the gray sky!

The devil bomber group also fought hard, completely ignoring the artillery fire that was frantically bubbling up on the ground and the dense debris that was constantly exploding around, opening the engine room and throwing bombs down frantically. Heavy bombs fell from the sky with a fierce roar, as if hideous devils had come out of hell.

After receiving the call, Jiang Qiang went to the headquarters as soon as possible, and as soon as he saw Huang Hong, he asked, "What is the specific situation now?" Huang Hong hurriedly replied: "Report to the general seat, the devils have concentrated a large number of bombers to carry out a large-scale bombardment of our army's northwest defense area, and our army's air defense forces are engaged in a fierce battle with the devils.

In addition, Yutai County and Jinxiang County of the third detachment were also bombed by devils, and it is said that the losses were very large. The devil bombed this time, and it was basically bombers, not like yesterday, and the bombers were just used as cover. The front-line scouts also sent back information that the devils had also gathered a large number of army troops, and there were signs of a frontal assault on Zichuan County, Changshan County, Zouping County, and Qidong County.

According to our preliminary analysis, the devil is going to officially start a decisive battle and try to open a breakthrough from these counties and cities! After listening to Huang Hong's report, Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "The devil's combat intentions are already obvious, this time it is no longer a conspiracy to play clever, but a conspiracy, trying to force our army to start a head-on decisive battle with it by virtue of the superiority of the air force."
