December 8, 1940, Mountain City

Wu Heqing's armored convoy was discovered by a bomber formation taking off from Guiyang near Zunyi, and the air force had already received instructions from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so it dropped the bomb without hesitation, and in a frenzy of bombardment, 14 of the latest armored vehicles of country F were blown into parts, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the bombers still circled in the sky for a while, and from time to time they made a dive, until it was confirmed that not even a single person had escaped, and several planes shook their wings and left.

Subsequently, the people of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee also arrived at the scene, the scene has been completely destroyed, although there are many corpses, but they are no longer recognizable, but in a large number of corpses found a corpse wearing a general's uniform, it is natural to think that it is Wu Heqing, so the information is transmitted back to the headquarters, so far the Wu Heqing bandit gang that has been entrenched in northeast Guizhou for nearly 20 years has been completely wiped out.

And Li Yunlong, who was far away in Europe, did not delay for a long time, and quickly completed the follow-up visit project and returned to the mountain city, the difference is that when he went, there were four transport planes, and when he came back, there were only three transport planes left, and the other transport plane was sent to the air marshal, and the two Valentine infantry tanks were also presented to the Hans Army, although it was not a new equipment, but it was also the latest British tank, which had a very large reference role in the equipment research and development of the Hans Army.

Two tL37 combat passenger cars were given to Johann Rabe, and the other six tL37 combat passenger cars and four bA-10 armored vehicles were left at the embassy in Hans, which were completely emptied, and the vacated loads were used to carry gifts from the air marshal - a full six hundred skilled workers, although the human trade with Hans was still going through the process, but this did not affect the personal friendship between the air marshal and Li Yunlong, six hundred skilled workers, pulled out of the concentration camp, and there was no need to keep records.

After returning to Shancheng, Li Yunlong received an unprecedentedly warm welcome, and even the highest authorities, who had not appeared in public for a long time, took his wife to the airport to greet Li Yunlong in person, which was definitely the highest level of treatment.

In order to ensure the safety of the welcoming ceremony, he sent out almost all the forces in his hands, and the aviation fuel he bought from northern Shaanxi was used up a small part at once.

After the welcoming ceremony, Li Yunlong wanted to return to Qijiang County to rest under the pretext of being tired from the journey, and he heard that the government had also organized a large number of people in the city to welcome them on the streets, which made a huge noise, but Li Yunlong did not want to toss the people like this, and from beginning to end, he did not feel that he had made any contribution to this trip abroad, and he did not deserve such a welcome from the people.

No, Comrade Hu Bicheng leaned into his ear and told him that there would be a military meeting at the highest level in a while, and as generals, Hu Bicheng and Li Yunlong would attend this military meeting as representatives of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, judging from Comrade Hu Bicheng's serious appearance, this meeting is very important.

The motorcade of Li Yunlong and his entourage entered the city and was welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people, and compared with the entry ceremony rehearsed countless times by the propaganda department of Hans, the entrance ceremony in the mountain city was obviously more pure and more intense, and the whole city became a sea of joy, people cheered, shouted, and vented to their heart's content, and everyone tried to stretch their necks, wave their arms, and try to get closer to Li Yunlong, so that the gendarmes responsible for maintaining order were about to cry.

After a few hours, Li Yunlong finally arrived at the underground command center of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and as soon as he came in, Li Yunlong was also stunned for a moment, without him, there were too many big people, and almost all the senior generals of the national army had arrived, and it was no exaggeration to say that as long as Yamamoto Kazuki could attack this place, the Yamashiro government would be completely finished.

Comrade Hu Bicheng sat next to Minister Chen, and Li Yunlong found a corner to sit down, no way, although he is also a parallel general, but there is really no comparison with these people here, let alone him, even the brigade commander has to be honest when he comes here.

After sitting on the plane for more than 20 hours, he thought about taking a good rest at this time, and what does the military meeting, or the highest-level military meeting, have to do with his small division commander, but he doesn't want to be refreshed again after less than five minutes, because the content of this military meeting is really a bit earth-shattering.

The Ministry of Military Affairs planned to mobilize more than 80 elite divisions, with the cooperation of the navy and air force, to recapture the three towns of Wuhan in one fell swoop, completely drive the Japanese army out of Hunan and Hubei provinces, and if conditions permit, send troops from Central China to gather and annihilate in the Wuhan area.

This is not counting, in the south, the troops of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will also mobilize 60 divisions of troops to launch a counterattack, encircle and suppress the Japanese puppet army units in the two provinces, push the battle line all the way to the territory of Guangdong Province, and prepare for the next battle to recover Guangzhou.

In the north, in order to cope with the growing threat of the Japanese army, the supreme authorities approved the transfer of an additional army of about 50,000 troops to Zhongtiao Mountain in the First Theater of Operations.

Don't look at the North China Dispatch Army suffered a big loss at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but in fact, after Yoshio Shinozuka took over the North China Dispatch Army, the offensive power of the Shancheng Army was constantly increasing, and even the troops were already gathering troops in Xiangyu Province, maybe when a larger-scale military operation would be launched, so the supreme authorities of the northern counterattack simply did not mention it.

In addition to the campaign-level counterattack in two directions, the highest authorities have also arranged counterattack plans in several other provinces, although they are all units of one division and two divisions, but when you add them up, there are also 50 whole training divisions and more than 600,000 troops in total.

In this way, the Shancheng government actually mobilized more than two million regular troops to launch a counterattack at one time, which is a proper big move.
