I am helping

Zhao Gang looked at the distance on the map and couldn't help but frowning slightly, looking embarrassed.

Political Commissar Zhao and Li Yunlong had basically the same idea.

I thought that the old devil Yamamoto Shihachi was coming to China, and then the intelligence about his coming to China was intercepted by Boss Chen, and then he was killed by the troops sent by Li Yunlong.

after all.

In the past, the New 1st Regiment led by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang killed most of the Japanese generals and officers on Chinese territory.

and so.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not expect that this business would actually be an overseas business, cross-border e-commerce.

As soon as Captain Li finished speaking, before Boss Chen could say anything, his expression changed and he spoke.

"If we were in the South Pacific, we would have a chance to kill that old devil Yamamoto Shihachi."

"Oh?" Political Commissar Zhao asked, "What opportunity?"

Li Yunlong said, "Send a strategic transport plane to carry the Sword Squadron over, and kill Yamamoto Shihachi after parachuting."

What Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang didn't know was that after being killed, Yamamoto Shibashi would be posthumously awarded the title of Navy Marshal by the Japanese.

However, after flying to the South Pacific, it then returns to North China, a distance of more than 1 kilometers.

To the surprise of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chen Feng shook his head again:
"And even if we send the Sword Brigade, it will be almost impossible to complete the mission this time."

But Chen Feng was familiar with history and knew about this matter, but he did not say it with certainty. Instead, he said it was highly likely.

“It doesn’t have to be that complicated.”

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly showed expectation, and he asked quickly: "How much is the business price for killing a Japanese marshal?"

Because Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Boss Chen still need some time to prepare.

Forcibly sending the Sharp Sword Brigade to Rabaul Airport to behead Yamamoto Shihachi would most likely destroy the entire Sharp Sword Brigade.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up: "In this case, it's not a business for 27 times the general."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's faces immediately showed a look of realization.

Even if Chen Feng did not explain, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would have imagined that Boss Chen had also planted high-level spies in the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Headquarters.

It's not what they thought?
Chen Feng pointed at the map that Li Yunlong had just laid out on the table and continued, "According to intelligence, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Shichihachi, has already taken a plane to inspect the Rabaul Airport. In a few days, he will take a plane from Rabaul Airport, pass through Bougainville Island, and then inspect bases such as Buin and the Shortland Islands."

There is an unwritten rule in the West that prohibits assassinating the enemy monarch or commander in chief during combat.

Chen Feng reminded: "If the US military kills Yamamoto Shichihachi, your regiment will not have any business with 27 times the generals."

Even with auxiliary fuel tanks, the fuel was not enough for the strategic transport plane to fly back to the Eighth Route Army Airport in North China.

"You mean?" Political Commissar Zhao's eyes lit up. "You don't want the transport plane? Let the pilots and crew members parachute with the Sword Squadron?"

But the defense of Rabaul Airport must be very abnormal.

So the top US military officials quickly decided to kill Yamamoto Shihachi.

Seeing Chen Feng nod, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Zhao Gang nodded, looked at Boss Chen and asked, "Brother Chen, is this the way to do business this time?"

This involves many factors including politics and diplomacy.

Zhao Gang also frowned slightly: "If this is the case, then the situation is a bit complicated."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both stunned.

Seeing Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's thoughtful look, Chen Feng continued, "Yamamoto Shichihachi is the second-in-command of the Japanese navy. If he is killed, he will most likely be posthumously awarded the rank of marshal. According to our previous business agreement, if a Japanese general who is killed is posthumously awarded a higher rank, it will be settled as a marshal of a higher rank."

Chen Feng smiled and explained, "My telecommunications detection department intercepted the Japanese's telegram."

However, Yamamoto Shibahachi went to the front line, where the commander and the soldiers were both "legal" targets.

"And it's not just us who have intercepted the Japanese's telegrams. The US military's telecommunications department has also intercepted them. They will soon decipher Yamamoto Nanahachi's itinerary."

Seeing the confusion on Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang’s faces.

Chen Feng knew that at this point in time, the Japanese Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto Shihachi must be at Rabaul Airport.

It was naturally impossible for Chen Feng to push the Lijian Brigade into the fire pit.

In so many previous business deals, Chen Feng only provided information and prices, but without exception, they were all completed by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with their clever brains, and each time the troop losses were relatively small, sometimes even zero.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and smiled slightly. The two brothers thought they had guessed right and felt a little proud.

Chen Feng continued.

"Is the US military also planning to kill Yamamoto Shihachi?" Li Yunlong frowned.

Although the new regiment's strategic transport aircraft has a long range.

However, at this time, Yamamoto Nanahachi's itinerary telegram had not been sent out, and the US military had not intercepted the telegram.

The Lijian Battalion was supported by Chen Feng and established by Li Yunlong himself. It has made many military achievements and is very famous.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "After the Sword Squadron completes its mission, we will use Brother Chen's giant helicopter to pick up our special forces, pilots, and crew members. But Brother Chen, please rest assured that I know the rules. I will pay the Japanese for using your helicopter. Although we have a good brotherly relationship, brothers should be clear about accounts."

"Oh?"

Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang liked to use their brains, which Chen Feng admired very much.

Chen Feng looked at the system panel. Judging from the prices that appeared on the system panel, the profits from this business were definitely beyond the imagination of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Because during World War II, the Japanese had only a few marshals.

Although Yamamoto Nanhachi is currently the most outstanding person in the Japanese navy.

Keeping him around could extend the life of the Japanese navy for a while longer and inflict more casualties on the US military.

But if Li Yunlong doesn't take action, the US military will kill him.

What's more, keeping Yamamoto Shihachi would not have changed the outcome of the Japanese Navy's defeat.

Because the defeat of the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Guadalcanal proved that the Japanese Navy was already on the decline.

It would be better to let Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang make a fortune.

"Brother Rong, please keep it secret for now." Chen Feng kept it a secret, "But please rest assured, Brother Li and Brother Zhao, the price of killing a Japanese Navy marshal will definitely not disappoint you. After all, the Japanese only have a few marshals at the moment."

The power and status of the Japanese Marshal among the Japanese are basically second only to Tianhuang and the Prime Minister, so the price naturally cannot be low.

"If that's the case, then I'm determined to take Yamamoto Nanahachi's head."

"If the U.S. military dares to compete with us, we will kill them as well!"

Li Yunlong spoke in a harsh tone, slamming the table.

Others are afraid of the US military, but Li Yunlong is not. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents. Whoever dares to cut off my financial resources, I will kill him first.

This was Li Yunlong’s real thought at the moment.

The business of destroying a Japanese marshal made him very jealous.

"After all, the US military is our ally. It is better to avoid conflict if possible," said Zhao Gang.

It’s not that Political Commissar Zhao was afraid of the US military, but if the Eighth Route Army fought with the US military, it would be a diplomatic incident.

Principal Chang has always been dependent on foreigners and would probably take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and did not argue with him on this matter. Instead, he looked at Chen Feng and said, "Brother Chen, if the tactic of sending the Sword Squadron to the South Pacific to decapitate the enemy doesn't work, then we can only intercept and kill the old devil halfway through the journey with our planes. But the problem is that the fighter planes of our New 1st Regiment don't have such a long range. What's the idiom?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang said, "It's beyond our reach."

"Yes, yes." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Our fighter planes can't get through. It's too far away to reach them."

To do aerial interception, you definitely have to rely on fighter jets, and it would be best if they were Sabre fighter jets.

It is difficult to complete the mission relying on strategic bombers.

"I have already thought of a way for you to kill Yamamoto Nanahachi!" said Chen Feng.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"What method?" Li Yunlong asked.

Chen Feng said, "It's time to take the navy of your Eighth Route Army out for a walk."

"Our Eighth Route Army's navy?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up.

If Boss Chen hadn't mentioned it, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would have almost forgotten that the Eighth Route Army also had a navy.

Li Yunlong personally planned the bombing of Tokyo, Japan and the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.

Several Japanese small cruisers were also destroyed during the bombing.

Boss Chen paid Li Yunlong several small cruisers and an aircraft carrier on a one-to-one basis.

It is said that these small cruisers and aircraft carriers are more than ten or twenty years more advanced than the current Japanese warships. Although there are no heavy cruisers and battleships, there are small frigates.

Compared with the Japanese Combined Fleet and the US Taiping Fleet, the Eighth Route Army's fleet was very small.

but.

It’s better to have something than nothing, right?

And it's only temporary.

Once we kill Yamamoto Shihachi, our Eighth Route Army will probably have warships again!

Li Yunlong remembered that Boss Chen said that if he wanted to obtain naval equipment, he must destroy the Japanese ships or the Japanese generals.

The plan to bomb Tokyo and the Shokaku aircraft carrier was implemented in June and July last year.

Li Yunlong calculated the time. It was already early April. Thousands of intellectuals and navy officers arranged by the headquarters had been studying at Boss Chen’s military base for more than half a year.

"That's right!" Chen Feng nodded.

Zhao Gang asked with an expectant look in his eyes: "Brother Chen, has our Eighth Route Army's fleet formed combat effectiveness?"

Regarding the Eighth Route Army's aircraft carrier, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had only seen photos of it and had never seen it with their own eyes.

Moreover, regarding the matter of the Eighth Route Army selecting navy soldiers to go to Boss Chen’s overseas military base to participate in naval training.

It was top secret in the entire Eighth Route Army, and only the New 1st Regiment, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and YA and other high-level officials knew about it.

However, there was some discussion about the naming of the Eighth Route Army's aircraft carrier at the time.

Whether it was the army's equipment or the navy's equipment, most of it was earned by Li Yunlong.

After discussions between the YA and the headquarters, it was unanimously decided to name the Eighth Route Army's first aircraft carrier Yunlong (Yunlong).

Li Yunlong protested, but the protest was ineffective.

"It's not like they have fully formed combat capability," Chen Feng said, "but there is no problem in getting the aircraft carriers, cruisers, and frigates moving."

"At present, we can only exert one-fifth of the fleet's combat power."

"With equal aircraft carriers and warships, your Eighth Route Navy has the advantage."

"But if we face the entire Japanese Combined Fleet or the US Pacific Fleet, we still cannot defeat them and will be wiped out by the enemy using their numerical advantage."

Boss Chen has a system that gives him full control over the situation at overseas military bases.

All the instructors, including ship instructors and engineers, for the Eighth Route Navy were arranged personally by Boss Chen.

Chen Feng also admired the learning spirit of the Eighth Route Navy.

Except for sleeping and eating, the Eighth Route Navy officers and soldiers basically spent the rest of their time studying and training, fully demonstrating the spirit of hard study and arduous training.

The fact that the Eighth Route Navy was able to master basic driving and combat skills from scratch in just over half a year was beyond Chen Feng's expectations, and Chen Feng admired them from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not feel discouraged after hearing this, but felt somewhat excited instead.

Boss Chen once said a word, a century-old navy.

What this means is that the long period of naval construction not only refers to the cultivation of the fighting spirit of naval officers and soldiers, nor is it just about being rich and willful. It also requires continuous wealth and long-term, high-intensity investment, including large-scale guarantees of warships, weapons, and human resources, in order to build a navy that can adapt to the country's maritime power requirements.

The fact that the Eighth Route Navy was able to develop some preliminary combat capabilities in just half a year has already made Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang very satisfied.

At present, the Eighth Route Army has the navy, army and air force, and all major arms are in place!
"Brother Chen, what you mean is..."

Li Yunlong regained his composure quickly after getting excited, and said:

"The Yunlong ship will leave the port, and then send carrier-based fighters from the Yunlong ship to take off and intercept the old devil Yamamoto Shichihachi while he is inspecting?"

As Captain Li spoke, he made a chopping motion with his knife, and his expression became somewhat fierce.

"Brother Yunlong's brain works very quickly." Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most appropriate action plan at the moment."

"Send some pilots who have flown carrier-based aircraft. Ace and elite pilots are best. The number doesn't need to be too many, about a dozen will be enough."

"I arranged to transport them to my overseas military bases using transport planes, and then have them move with the Yunlong ship."

With the strong support of Boss Chen, after the Eighth Route Army's aviation school was established, Boss Chen no longer provided pilot training services.

Therefore, there are no carrier-based pilots of the Eighth Route Army in overseas military bases.

but.

The more than 600 pilots trained at Boss Chen’s overseas military base have basically all flown carrier-based fighters and carrier-based bombers, so pilots are not a problem.

"Well, without further ado, I will immediately arrange for a carrier-based aircraft pilot."

Li Yunlong immediately stood up and called the 1st Flying Squadron of the New st Regiment.

Due to the nature of this mission, only pilots who have participated in training at overseas military bases can be selected, and they must be ace and elite pilots.

The so-called ace pilot is not judged by the length of his flight, but by the number of enemy planes he shoots down.

In World War II, if you shot down more than 5 enemy planes (including 5), you could be called an ace pilot.

Although those who surrendered from the National Army were almost all ace and elite pilots, none of them had ever flown a carrier-based fighter.

So for this mission, Li Yunlong let two ace pilots, Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin lead the Eighth Route Expeditionary Air Force, a total of 15 ace and elite pilots, to carry out the cross-border e-commerce business mission.

Next, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang discussed some details of the cross-border e-commerce business with Boss Chen.

This includes but is not limited to the provision of carrier-based aircraft by Boss Chen, but Li Yunlong has to pay a certain Japanese price.

Without having time to ask for instructions or report to the headquarters, Boss Chen's strategic transport plane arrived at the Beijing Western Suburbs Airport.

After receiving Li Yunlong's order, 15 ace and elite pilots boarded Boss Chen's strategic transport plane with their respective equipment.

……

at the same time.

Chengde front.

At the command post of the New 1st Regiment, Deputy Regiment Commander Xing Zhiguo came to the front line to personally inspect the rotation situation of the troops.

Although Chengde is located outside the Great Wall.

However, Chengde faces the Bohai Bay and backs onto the Mongolian hinterland, controlling the vital passages inside and outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, Chengde is currently the capital of Rehe Province, and its geographical location is very important.

Due to underdeveloped transportation, the Eighth Route Army currently has only two options if it wants to launch a large-scale attack on Manchuria.

One is from Shanhaiguan to outside the pass, and the other is Chengde.

However, Li Yunlong had used a pincer attack, so the Japanese would not give up easily, whether it was Shanhaiguan or Chengde.

Because once Shanhaiguan or Chengde were abandoned, the Eighth Route Army could easily go outside the pass and attack the Kwantung Army.

Surrounded by several young combat staff officers and elite guards, Xing Zhiguo walked into the front-line command post.

"Deputy Captain Xing!"

In the command post, several deputy commanders of the heavy armored combined battalion saluted Xing Zhiguo in unison.

Xing Zhiguo took a look and saw that there were four deputy regiment commanders in total. One of them was promoted from the battalion commander of the New 4st Regiment who had performed well. The other two deputy regiment commanders were transferred from the headquarters. They were at least regiment commanders before and served as deputy regiment commanders in the New 1st Regiment.

Although his position was demoted, his salary did not decrease, and the number of troops under his command increased, and they were all equipped with heavy equipment.

The deputy regiment commanders all joked that they would rather be a corps commander than a deputy regiment commander in the new regiment and command a heavy armored combined battalion!

I'm not bragging.

A combat-effective heavy-armored combined battalion of the New 1st Regiment can easily and happily defeat an entire Nationalist army.

Another tall and muscular deputy regiment commander was Lu Yingjun, who led the 5th heavy armored combined battalion of the new regiment to support the other three newly formed heavy armored combined battalions.

The 5th Heavy Armored Combined Battalion, as the veteran main heavy armored combined battalion of the New st Regiment and commanded by Lu Yingjun, could easily defeat a Class B division of the Japanese Army head-on.

In addition to the three newly formed heavy armored combined battalions, there are also two newly formed 3mm heavy artillery battalions participating in the rotation battle.

"How is the battle situation now?"

Xing Zhiguo returned the salute and looked at the deputy regiment commanders and asked.

After all, it was a newly formed heavy-armored combined battalion. Li Yunlong attached great importance to this rotation of battle, so he sent an old heavy-armored combined battalion to support it, and Xing Zhiguo also went to the front line in person to inspect the battle situation.

"Report to Deputy Headmaster Xing."

"The battle situation is under control. The two newly-formed heavy artillery battalions have already launched artillery fire on the areas such as Lion Mountain and Chicken Crown Mountain occupied by the Japanese."

"Next, it is the turn of the newly formed 16th Heavy Armored Combined Battalion to launch an attack on the two enemy positions."

Lv Yingjun reported to Xing Zhiguo.

"The newly formed 16th Heavy Armored Combined Battalion?" Xing Zhiguo looked at a deputy regiment commander, "The troops of the Tiger General of the Shandong Provincial Military Region?"
