Chapter 517 To do or not to do?
Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

Okamura Ningji is convening a meeting with devil officers again.

In addition to the chief and deputy chief of staff.

Also attending the meeting were several infantry division heads and an aviation division head who participated in the raid, as well as several other trusted staff officers.

Okamura Ningji's eyes were deep, and he swept across the faces of the officers.

During this period of time, he arranged for intelligence experts to secretly investigate several trusted staff around him. If you don't check, you don't know. This investigation really found some problems.

Among his several trusted staff officers, one of them was an intelligence staff officer named Daqiao Chang'an, who went to a barbecue restaurant every week.

According to the in-depth investigation of the Peking Special High School, there is a problem with this barbecue restaurant, and the manager is a member of the military command of the Republic of China.

Neiji Okamura soon realized that the manager of this barbecue restaurant was probably a double agent, working for the Republic of China Army Command and the Eighth Route Army.

The whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi of the Kwantung Army must have been reported from this barbecue restaurant.

However, what Okamura Ningji didn't know was that Ohashi Changan was from Osaka, and he accidentally discovered that the owner of this barbecue restaurant was a spy, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, he started a business with the owner of the barbecue shop, exchanging some unimportant tasteless information with him for gold bars.

Like those core information, Daqiao Changan would never dare to disclose it.

Although doing business with the other party with weak information would be dead if it was found out, Daqiao Changan still knew it. He only sold weak information and never betrayed the interests of the Great Japanese Empire.

But Neiji Okamura didn't know this, and Chang'an of the bridge could not be washed away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Neiji Okamura was very angry that the spy was by my side. As Neiji Okamura, who had worked as a spy, this was simply a shame for him.

The head of the super high class immediately wanted to arrest all the staff of the barbecue restaurant and Ohashi Changan, but Okamura Ningji told him not to act rashly.

He wants to use the bridge Chang'an to fish.

"Your Excellency!"

Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe stood up, holding a document in his hand, and reported to Neji Okamura:

“方面军一共出动汽车1200余辆，骡车4000余辆，在20天内向大同和太原运输了1万3千余吨作战物资。”

"The remaining 7 tons of combat materials are being transported or are being prepared for transport."

"Currently, part of the troops of each division has already stationed in Taiyuan and Datong."

"In addition, according to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane and the infiltration of the intelligence personnel of the First Army into the bandit area in Northwest Shanxi, the airport of the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi has been discovered."

As soon as the words fell, Okamura Ningji's ancient well-free eyes finally had a touch of fluctuation;
"Did you find Eighth Road at the airport in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Where?"

"Are there planes at the airport?"

Okamura Ningji blurted out a series of questions, showing that his mood was not as calm as his expression and eyes.

The old devil has long expected that the reason why the Eighth Route Army can quietly obtain overseas aid is that there is a high probability that it is airdropped, or even that the Eighth Route Army has an airport.

"No aircraft found!"

Tanabe Shengwu walked quickly to the map and pointed to a location in Northwest Shanxi on the map: "Here!"

Neiji Okamura and the Devil officers took a closer look and remembered the location of the Eight Road Airport on the map. Moritake Tanabe walked back to his seat but did not sit down.

Although the Eighth Route Army and the masses launched anti-espionage activities in Northwest Shanxi, and the transport planes delivered goods at night.

But it couldn't prevent the crazy infiltration of the intelligence personnel of the Devils and Puppet Army. Some intelligence personnel of the Devils found the vicinity of the airport based on the roar of the plane, and reported the location of the airport to the headquarters of the First Army.

Although the devil's spies were quickly caught, the intelligence had already been passed on.

The next day, the devil's reconnaissance plane went to the sky over Zhaojiayu Airport to reconnaissance repeatedly, and soon discovered something was wrong, and it was determined that it was the Eighth Route Army Airport.

Sure enough, as I expected, Neiji Okamura looked at Kumaichi Teramoto, the head of the 2nd Flying Division: "Yo Sai, Teramoto-kun, after the meeting is over, immediately arrange for the air force to bomb the Yalu Airport."

Although Eighth Road probably also knew that the airport was exposed, but the airport is nothing else, it just can't run there.

A sneer appeared on the corner of the old devil's mouth, waiting for the Royal Air Force to blow up the airport, how will Li Yunlong get help?

Teramoto Kumaichi stood up when he heard the words, and suddenly nodded: "Hi!"

Okamura Ningji said again: "In addition, Teramoto-kun, your 2nd Flying Division can bomb the ferry along the Yellow River according to the plan, so as not to let the people of Balu and China cross the Yellow River and enter northern Shaanxi."

During this period of time, Japanese reconnaissance planes have clearly observed the large and small ferries along the Yellow River.

"Hi!" Kumaichi Teramoto nodded again, and was about to sit back on the chair.

The deputy chief of staff, Seizo Yusue, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I suggest that the aviation force bomb the villages near the Eighth Route Airport as well."

"why?"

Arisue Seizo explained: "I suspect that Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters is in a village near the airport. If the aviation can blow up Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters... as we all know, Li Yunlong is the soul of the new regiment. If you die, the new regiment will immediately fall into a situation of low morale and no leader, then the imperial army will be sure to win this battle."

"Yo Xi!"

Okamura Neiji looked at Arisue Seizo with a hint of appreciation on his expression.

Then, Okamura Ningji said to Teramoto Kumaichi: "Teramoto-kun, make the bombing plan according to what Arimo-kun said."

"Hi!"

Teramoto Kumaichi glanced at Arisue Seizo blankly, paused and sat back on the chair.

Neiji Okamura said to Moritake Tanabe: "Tanabe-kun, you continue."

Immediately afterwards, Moritake Tanabe continued to hold the battle plan and read down the orders one by one.

However, this is only the combat order in the initial preparation stage, before the start of the battle.

Because Okamura Ningci suspected that spies had been mixed into the North China Front Army Command.

Before the spies were found out, they did not dare to let a few trusted staff members know the specific content of the battle plan at the beginning of the campaign.

However, regarding the location of the front-line headquarters that the Japanese army raided in Northwest Shanxi, it was neither in Taiyuan nor Datong.

Rather, it is located in New Jersey.

Three days before the start of the battle, the Japanese army had not yet dispatched from Taiyuan and Datong, and Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe was about to lead his personnel from Taiyuan to build a frontline headquarters near Xinzhou.

And there is only one infantry regiment with him.

This is Okamura Neiji's fishing plan.

In his opinion, if Li Yunlong really knew the location of the Japanese army's frontline headquarters, and there was only one infantry regiment around him, he would definitely lead his troops to strike first and take down the Japanese army's command post.

No commander can refuse such a temptation, and he, Neiji Okamura, is no exception.

The old devil also wanted to test whether there was really an inner ghost around him.

If Li Yunlong leads his troops to attack, it will prove that the North China Front Army does have an inner ghost, and it must be Daqiao Chang'an.

After all, there is only great suspicion in Chang'an of the bridge now, and there is no real evidence.

Okamura Ningji will quietly mobilize troops to ambush around the frontline headquarters and in the Xinzhou Basin. Once the eighth forces attack, they will immediately fall into a situation surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides.

If the main force of the Xinyi Regiment can be wiped out in the Xinzhou Basin, this battle will be a sure win.

It doesn't matter if Li Yunlong didn't lead his troops to behead the Japanese army headquarters on the front line, and he can fight the battles that follow.

After the meeting, Teramoto Kumaichi drafted a bombing plan and handed it over to Neiji Okamura.

Okamura Ningji signed his name after reading the battle plan.

Soon.

10 fighter jets escorted 20 bombers to take off from Beiping Airport and fly to the northwest of Shanxi.

……

Northwest Shanxi.

Zhaojiayu.

"Ningji Okamura is fishing for labor and management?"

After listening to the information given by Chen Feng, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The information given by Boss Chen not only told Okamura Ningji's plan, but also provided a very clear description of the number of troops the devils ambushed around and prepared to catch turtles:
A tank regiment, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, an infantry regiment, plus an infantry regiment operating with a false command post.

And 80 aircraft for air support at any time.

The combat power of this configuration is enough to instantly kill any second-line division.

Mindful and careless.

If Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were fooled and really led part of their troops to behead the Japanese frontline headquarters, they might suffer a big loss.

Zhao Gang first looked thoughtful, and then looked at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, this is our opportunity. The Xinzhou Basin is very suitable for tank groups and cavalry."

Although the new regiment already has tanks, there are still two tank battalions with 64 tanks.

However, the number of tanks is not large, and not all terrains are suitable for tanks, so the cavalry battalion is still retained, and Cao Jiang, the former company commander of the cavalry battalion, serves as the commander of the cavalry battalion.

At this stage in the northwestern region of Shanxi, it is still necessary to have a highly mobile elite cavalry in hand.

After a pause, Zhao Gang asked again: "Do you want to do it?"

Li Yunlong did not answer Zhao Gang, but looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Brother Chen, do you think I should fight this battle?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly: "I'm just in charge of liaison and delivery. I don't participate in the important affairs of your regiment's military aircraft. You can decide for yourself whether you want to do it or not."

Li Yunlong looked thoughtful.

The information given by Boss Chen must be accurate, and neither Li Yunlong nor Zhao Gang had any doubts about this.

The enemy has 2 infantry regiments, 1 artillery regiment, 1 cavalry regiment and 1 tank regiment.

而他手里有有2个炮兵营、1个重炮营、1个骑兵营、2个坦克营、4个主力步兵营和七个分区营等，总兵力合计2万5千余人。

In addition, Li Yunlong still has an opportunity for air support, and it is estimated that he can kill a Japanese regiment on the plain terrain.

Of course, the two tank battalions in Li Yunlong's hands are invincible in the Xinzhou Basin.

However, the devil's more than 80 aircraft can pose a fatal threat to the tank battalion.

So far, Li Yunlong has not received information about the arrival of Japanese planes to Taiyuan and Datong.

That is to say, the tunnels dug under Li Yunlong's order, as well as the mountain cannons and shells transported over, have become decorations.

But it's not a decoration at all. It will be useful in the future, but it won't be used in this battle.

"Do it or not?" Li Yunlong said: "It's still the same sentence, we have to calculate the cost carefully, and if it is cheap, we will do it. If it is not cheap, we will not do it."
