I am helping

Time comes two months later.

The Japanese army captured Changsha.

After Principal Chang received the news that Changsha had fallen, he cursed the Japanese troops as pigs and cursed their mothers.

After the Japanese captured Changsha, they followed the example of the Eighth Route Army and issued a nationwide telegram, plunging the whole country into a haze.

"Report to the regiment commander. We have just received a nationwide telegram from the Japanese army. Changsha has fallen."

Wang Dehou walked quickly into the regiment headquarters with a telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took the telegram and read it, his expression expressionless: "As expected."

Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it, and said, "As early as a month ago, Boss Chen sent us intelligence that the Japanese were preparing to attack Changsha, Hunan Province."

"Our Eighth Route Army Office in Shancheng has already alerted Principal Chang through the Military Control Commission, but unfortunately he doesn't believe it at all."

"The Japanese army attacked Changsha with a blitzkrieg, and the Nationalist army was not well prepared, so the capture of Changsha was expected."

Obviously, the deterrent power of deploying strategic bombers is more direct than plain text telegrams.

But if the Japanese dare to carry out a massacre, Li Yunlong doesn't mind letting them know what it means to be so red.

So now is not the time for the Eighth Route Army to send troops.

The strategic bomber force has always been on standby.

The headquarters took the telegram and read it, then looked at the chief of staff with a normal expression:

The Eighth Route Army no longer bombed the Japanese mainland, and the incidents of burning, killing and looting by the invading Japanese in China became less and less frequent.

Wang Dehou drafted a telegram and left quickly.

In addition, this flight mission does not require too many aerial bombs.

The chief of staff took the telegram and looked at it. In front of him, there was a telegram warning the Japanese.

The content of the telegram was similar to what Li Yunlong requested, mainly warning the Japanese not to mess around in Changsha, otherwise they would be in big trouble.

It is puzzling that Principal Chang sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army to send troops to Hunan Province, while at the same time ordering the National Army to retreat.

It is obvious that Principal Chang's idea is to preserve his strength, let the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army fight to a mutual defeat, and then the National Army will reap the benefits.

But now the main force of the Eighth Route Army is resting and expanding its troops, preparing to accumulate strength and then launch a powerful attack on the Japanese.

"It's also about the people near Changsha. The commander ordered us to send out about 30 strategic bombers to fly over Tokyo, Japan, especially over the Japs' locust palace, but not to drop bombs, in order to deter the Japs' cabinet and the locusts."

Although the Eighth Route Army does not have hundreds of strategic bombers, it must have enough momentum to make the Japanese feel a huge pressure.

Today, a kind of tacit understanding has been formed between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, looked at Wang Dehou, and said sternly: "Please ask the headquarters to send a nationwide telegram immediately. If the devils dare to burn, kill and loot in Hunan Province, the hundreds of strategic bombers of the Eighth Route Army will bomb Tokyo, Japan, and the devil's palace to the ground within three days!"

The chief of staff smiled slightly, then turned around, picked up the telegram on the table, and gave an order to the strategic bomber unit.

"Li Yunlong, this kid, thinks the same as us."

"YA sent a telegram."

Taiyuan.

The chief of staff handed the prepared telegram to the communications staff.

At the end of his speech, Zhao Gang had a look of sigh on his face.

"Yes!"

The Chief of Staff took the telegram and read it:

"Yes!"

However, the Eighth Route Army sent some planes to provide air support to the National Army to avoid giving others a chance to criticize.

But even with air support, the speed at which the National Army was defeated was still shocking.

Headquarters.

"Send this telegram immediately in plain text."

"Give me."

“That’s called a two-pronged approach.”

After the Japanese captured Changsha, there was probably a period of burning, killing and looting.

After reading the telegram sent by Li Yunlong, the chief of staff nodded with satisfaction.

The communications staff officer held the telegram sent by Li Yunlong in his hand, saluted quickly, and then reported.

The deputy commander showed a touch of admiration on his face: "As expected of you, you think further than us. Arrange this matter immediately and order the strategic bomber squadron directly under the headquarters to take off immediately and fly over Tokyo and the Japs' locust palace."

Just then, another staff officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.

The communications staff officer took the telegram, read it, straightened his head, and then quickly walked towards the telegraph room.

"Commander, the commander of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong, just sent a telegram requesting the headquarters to send a telegram warning the Japanese army."

Li Yunlong now has a clear political mind and knows that such things need to be handled by the headquarters, rather than taking the initiative to issue warning telegrams to the Japanese.

"What a pity... it has made life difficult for millions of people living around Changsha, Hunan Province."

So after the order from the headquarters was issued, 30 strategic bombers of the headquarters quickly took off from Taiyuan Wusu Airport and flew in formation towards the bandit area in the east.

……

Japanese country.

Tokyo.

Prime Minister's Office.

"It has been confirmed that the Expeditionary Force and the main force of the 11th Army have captured Changsha, China."

"After we capture Changsha, China, we can threaten the Chinese government."

"Hi."

"The statistics of the enemy annihilation are still being counted. The Chinese government army no longer poses a threat to the Locust Army. The next combat plan of the Locust Army is to eliminate the Chinese Eighth Route Army in North China."

"Hi."

"Hi."

Every time Tojo Hideki shouted "Hi", she would bend her waist 90 degrees and salute the phone respectfully.

On the other end of the phone was Tian Huang, who could pull him down from the position of prime minister with just one sentence.

After hanging up the phone, a look of excitement appeared on Tojo Hideki's face.

On the phone, Tojo Hideki received praise from Tianhuang, who said that the battle he launched this time was fought beautifully.

How long has it been since His Majesty Tianhuang rewarded me personally?

It’s been a year, right?
However, Tian Huang reminded Tojo Hideji that the main enemy of the Locust Army in China was now the Eighth Route Army in North China.

Although the Eighth Route Army could not be dealt with for the time being, Tojo Hideki agreed readily.

With this award from Tian Huang, his position as prime minister would be temporarily secured.

As for the Eighth Route Army in North China, we will deal with it slowly.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister is so wise, I admire you so much!"

As soon as I hung up the phone, Admiral Shimataro Shimada, the Minister of the Navy, came to flatter me.

This made Tojo Yingji show a smug look on his face.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister is so wise, I admire you so much!"

Army Minister Sugi Sanyuan quickly followed suit.

At first, Shan Sanyuan disagreed to attack the National Army, but he did not expect that the National Army was so weak that it was defeated in just a few days.

As Sugi Sanyuan flattered him, Tojo Hideki's face became more and more proud, but he said modestly: "It has nothing to do with me. It is all thanks to the good command of General Hata Shunroku and Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, as well as the heroic fighting of the Locust Army soldiers, that we have this victory."

After a pause, Tojo Hideki looked at Sugi Sangen again and said, "Sugami-kun, immediately order all newspapers and media to vigorously publicize this victory, and especially emphasize that this victory was achieved under the wise leadership of this Prime Minister."

"Hi."

Shan Sanyuan suddenly lowered his head:
"I immediately ordered all newspapers and media to publish the news of this victory."

The locust army hasn't won a battle for a long time, so it really needs some publicity.

In the evening, Tojo Hideji held a celebration banquet at the Prime Minister's Office and invited senior officers from the navy and army to attend.

Although the navy and the army did not get along, they both came to the banquet for the sake of Tojo Hideki.

When the celebration banquet was in full swing, a major general staff officer rushed in:
"Report to the Prime Minister, dozens of enemy planes are flying towards Tokyo from the west, only about 400 kilometers away from Tokyo!"

Since the last bombing of Tokyo by the Eighth Route Army and the bombing of the Shokaku aircraft carrier, the Japanese air defense commander-in-chief was removed from his post.

The newly appointed air defense commander-in-chief, General Kenji Doi, ordered the establishment of additional lookout posts in various places to guard against air raids by the Eighth Route Army bomber forces.

Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers appeared over the Japanese mainland, the Japanese Air Defense Headquarters received the intelligence.

The situation in which the Eighth Route Army's strategic bomber unit was mistaken for the Japanese Air Force in training could only happen once.

Simultaneously.

The Japanese fighter planes quickly took off to intercept.

But unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers flew at an altitude of more than 1 meters, and the Japanese fighter planes could not reach them at all.

"Nani?"

Tojo Hideki and a group of senior Japanese officers were suddenly shocked.

"Go to the air-raid shelter immediately."

As soon as Tojo Hideki finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the entrance of the air-raid shelter, and the Japanese officers behind him followed.

At the same time, shrill air defense alarms rang out in various parts of Tokyo, and the Japanese and the people took shelter. When the Japanese sounded the air defense alarm, the Japanese soldiers stationed at various anti-aircraft fire points also quickly entered the gun positions.

About an hour later, the Eighth Route Army's bombers arrived as scheduled.

The Japanese anti-aircraft firepower opened fire in unison, and the action was as fierce as a tiger. The momentum was terrifying, but it was difficult to threaten the Flying Fortress strategic bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Prime Minister's Office.

In an air-raid shelter several dozen meters deep.

"what happened?"

"Why haven't the enemy planes dropped their bombs yet?"

Tojo Hideki sounded puzzled.

According to previous bombings of Tokyo, the rumbling sound of the explosion at this time should have been transmitted to the air-raid shelter.

Could it be that the enemy plane's target was the Prime Minister's Office?
A major general staff officer quickly dialed the phone outside, and then reported to the gloomy Tojo Hideki: "The air defense force reported that the enemy planes flew towards the locust palace."

"N-Nee?"

As soon as the major general staff officer finished speaking, Tojo Hideki's voice suddenly rang out.

This voice of Nani was even louder and more unbelievable than the one an hour ago, and sounded extremely horrified and sharp.

The faces of all the senior Japanese officers changed at the same time.

If the Locust Palace were bombed, the consequences would be disastrous.

In particular, the commander-in-chief of the homeland air defense, Kenji Doi, had a very different expression on his face.

If anything happened to Tian Huang, he would definitely have to cut open his stomach and apologize.

About 15 minutes passed in the tense atmosphere.

Outside the air-raid shelter, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower gradually weakened and the air-raid alarm was gradually lifted.

In the air-raid shelter, the major general staff officer received a phone call and then reported to Tojo Hideki:

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the enemy planes circled over the Locust Palace for a few times and then left. They did not drop bombs on the Locust Palace."

Tojo Hideki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, the senior Japanese officers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is unclear whether Tianhuang is in the Locust Palace, if Tianhuang is in the Locust Palace and enemy planes bomb the Locust Palace, the consequences will be disastrous.

"What do the Eighth Route Army want to do?"

Shan Sanyuan asked with a gloomy face:

"Aren't the Eighth Route Army afraid that the Locust Army will carry out retaliatory massacres in China?"

General Shimada Shigetaro said in a deep voice: "The Eighth Route Army is playing with fire! I suggest that the army launch a massacre on the mainland to warn the Eighth Route Army!"

Shan Sanyuan said in a deep voice: "Shimada-kun, the army is carrying out a massacre on the mainland. If the locust palace is bombed, can you bear the responsibility?"

Sugi Sanyuan knew very well that the old devil Shimada Shigetaro had no good intentions.

"Your army is incompetent." Shimada Shigetaro sneered, "Why should we hold our navy responsible?"

"The Eighth Route Army openly broke the tacit agreement, so they should be given a small punishment."

Tojo Hideki's tone was cold, he was really almost scared to death this time.

But at this moment, a communications staff officer walked quickly into the air-raid shelter with a telegram in his hand and reported to Tojo Hideki:

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the expeditionary force, just sent a clear message that the Eighth Route Army headquarters has sent a telegram warning the locust army. The strategic bombers just dispatched are just a small warning. If the locust army dares to burn, kill and loot in Changsha, the Eighth Route Army will definitely dispatch strategic bombers to bomb Tokyo and the locust palace."

"Baka!" Tojo Hideki was furious. "How dare the Eighth Route Army threaten the Empire of Japan?"

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Just then, the phone on the table rang and the major general staff officer picked it up.

After a while, the major general staff officer hung up the phone and reported to Tojo Hideki: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the military attaché of Tianhuang just called and ordered the expeditionary force and the 11th Army Headquarters to capture Changsha to strictly restrain the soldiers and strictly prohibit the soldiers from burning, killing and looting. Those who violate the rules will be punished by military law. This is the intention of His Majesty Tianhuang."

"idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Tojo Hideki cursed angrily on the spot.

Although they had won the battle, Tojo Hideki felt very aggrieved, and made the Japanese troops on the front line seem like they had suffered a major defeat.

I'm very angry, but there's nothing I can do.

In fact, from the perspective of Tianhuang, Tojo Hideki can also understand it.

Let’s not talk about the Eighth Route Army’s bombing of the Locust Palace for now. Although the Sky Locusts can escape but the Locust Palace cannot, as long as the personnel of the Locust Palace are transferred, there will be no big problem.

But what Tianhuang feared the most was the bombing of Tokyo by the Eighth Route Army, as Tokyo's wooden buildings were most afraid of fire attacks.

Once the fire spreads, the consequences will be disastrous, with tens of millions of people killed or injured and millions left homeless.

For Tianhuang, local stability is more important than anything else right now.

"Mr. Sugiyama." Tojo Hideki looked at Sugiyama, "Tianhuang has issued an order. Do you know what to do?"

"Hi."

Shan Sanyuan lowered his head suddenly.

……

Hunan Province.

Changsha.

Surrounded by a group of Japanese officers and guards, Yokoyama Isamu, carrying a lieutenant general's sword, walked into the former Kuomintang war zone headquarters in Changsha.

It was here that Xue Yue commanded 30 national troops in the three Changsha battles, and used the Tianlu tactics to kill more than 10 Japanese devils.

And now, Yokoyama Isamu broke Xue Yue's Tianlu tactics with a blitzkrieg.

Or.

Thanks to Principal Chang's micro-management, the National Army was defeated before Xue Yue's Tianlu tactics could be deployed.

"It would be great if the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was the same as that of the Nationalist and Chinese government forces."

Looking at the Locust Army's rising sun flag fluttering on the top of Changsha City, Yokoyama Isamu's tone was full of emotion.

His thoughts returned to the battlefield in Xuzhou a few months ago.

In that battle, the main force of the 11th Army was defeated by the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and fled back to central China like a prodigal dog.

During these two months, Yokoyama Isamu has been studying how to crack Xue Yue's Tianlu tactics.

We are still studying how to crack the Eighth Route Army's tactics.

Until now, Yokoyama Isamu has come up with a tactic to break the Tianlu tactics.

However, Yokoyama Isamu has always been troubled by how to crack the Eighth Route Army's tactics.

The Eighth Route Army not only has unimaginable firepower, but its tactics are also flexible and unpredictable.

"Your Excellency the Commander has already defeated Nan Xueyue. It is only a matter of time before he defeats Bei Yunlong."

Chief of Staff Nakayama Sadauchi said in a serious tone.

The 11th Army was the main force in the three Changsha battles, and suffered heavy losses in all three battles.

In addition, the 11th Army was defeated by the Eighth Route Army in the Xuzhou area, and the morale of the 11th Army dropped to freezing point.

However, after this victory, the morale of the 11th Army quickly recovered a lot.

"Li Yunlong?"

Yokoyama Isamu narrowed his eyes.

Xue Yue and Li Yunlong are called the pillars of the country by the Chinese, and are known as Xue Yue of the South and Yunlong of the North.

Now he has defeated Nan Xueyue, and the next is Bei Yunlong.

But, is Li Yunlong so easy to defeat?
At this moment, the communications staff came in quickly with a folder and reported to Yokoyama Isamu: "General, the headquarters order!"

Yokoyama Isamu was suddenly shocked. The headquarters actually gave orders to the 11th Army without going through the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Could it be that the Prime Minister was going to micro-manage the situation?
"Read!"

Isamu Yokoyama and a group of Japanese officers lowered their heads and made a listening gesture.

"Hi."

The communications officer opened the folder and read:
"The Expeditionary Force and the 11th Army are commended for their heroic performance in the Battle of Changsha. The Heavenly Locust orders the 11th Army and the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force not to burn, kill, loot, or rape women in and around Changsha. Violators will be punished by military law. Prime Minister Tojo Hideki, His Majesty the Emperor, and the Great Japanese Locust Army are on board!"

The corners of Yokoyama Yong's mouth twitched, but he finally bowed his head and said, "Hi."

The 11th Army Command received the coded threatening telegram from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters earlier than the Japanese military headquarters.

If we can't burn, kill and loot, and waste so many combat supplies, what's the point of conquering territory?
But since it was an order from the headquarters and Tianhuang, Yokoyama Yong did not dare to disobey.

If the Eighth Route Army were to take real action, Yokoyama Isamu would probably be dismissed from his post as the least that could be done.

Yokoyama Isamu first yelled "Baga", then gave an order in a cold tone: "Order all officers and soldiers not to burn, kill, loot, or rape women. Those who violate this will be punished by military law!"

"Hi."

Nakayama Sadauchi and Futami Akisaburo suddenly lowered their heads and quickly conveyed the order.

As the order from the 11th Army Headquarters was issued, the Japanese soldiers who were burning, killing and looting were ordered to stop immediately.

But some of the Japanese had gone crazy with killing, so the Japanese had to send out the gendarmerie to capture them and even shot some of them to death.

The Japs' burning, killing and looting finally stopped.

In another time and space, after the Japanese captured Changsha, they carried out an inhumane massacre in the city and carried out retaliatory bombings and massacres against local residents.

However, in this time and space, even though the Japanese occupied Changsha earlier than in another time and space, the intimidation and threats from the Eighth Route Army forced the Japanese to put down their butcher knives.
