I am helping

Chapter 805 I, Li Yunlong, are about to attack!

"The current chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi."

Zhao Gang on the side said:

"This person will take a plane from Beiping Xijiao Airport to Taiyuan in the middle of this month. He will take up the post of commander of the First Army. He will be accompanied by a major general of the Japanese Kwantung Army and several assistant officers and staff officers."

Kong Jie was slightly startled: "Is Yoshio Yanmatsu dismissed?"

In terms of tactical command ability and strategic vision, the current commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, is obviously not as good as the previous commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka.

After Shinozuka Yoshio was shot dead, the reason Okamura Neiji pushed Yoshio Iwamatsu to the position of commander of the First Army was mainly to let Yoshio Iwamatsu induce Yan Xishan to surrender and change the situation in Shanxi.

However, Yan Xishan didn't really want to seek refuge with the Japanese, and with Yan Xishan's shrewdness, he would not seek refuge with the Japanese army now.

Li Yunlong wanted the Jinsui army to join the Japanese army, so that when the Japanese army was dealt with, the Jinsui army was also dealt with.

Zhao Gang nodded.

Kong Jie's tone was slightly cold: "After such a big defeat, Yoshio Yanmatsu, an old devil, didn't apologize by cutting open his stomach?"

The generals of the Japanese army apologized for being defeated by Li Yunlong's troops, which is also counted in Li Yunlong's business.

"Officers at the devil's lieutenant general level rarely apologize by cutting open their stomachs, and at most they are dismissed." Chief of Staff Wang Dehou said.

"What about Yoshio Iwamatsu?" Ding Wei asked, "Let this old devil go?"

Li Yunlong said: "I originally wanted to kill the old devil Yoshio Iwamatsu first, but Boss Chen's latest information said that Yoshimoto Teichi also brought a confidant major general, and the cost performance of killing Yoshimoto Teichi is higher than killing Yoshio Iwamatsu, so I changed my previous plan and planned to kill Yoshimoto Teiichi and this major general first."

After taking a sip of water, Li Yunlong continued: "After Yoshimoto Teiichi is killed, Iwamatsu Yoshio will definitely continue to serve as the commander of the First Army."

"At that time, when we take down Taiyuan, Yoshio Iwamatsu will still die, but he will die later."

Ding Wei asked again: "When will this old devil Yoshimoto come?"

No need to guess, Ding Wei already knew how Li Yunlong would kill Yoshimoto Zhenichi and the Kwantung Army major general.

Last time, Gushou took two major generals from Beiping Airport to the First Army to observe.

Boss Chen got the information half a month in advance, and then passed the information to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong personally led the cavalry and air defense troops, and shot down the plane that Kosao was flying on the way.

With the lesson of Gushou being shot down, the planes of Major General Guiziyun and Lieutenant General Guiziyun will be more cautious when flying from Peiping to Taiyuan.

It is impossible to shoot down the devil's transport plane with anti-aircraft guns halfway like last time.

but……

Now the new regiment has radar and saber fighters.

As long as the information is accurate, no matter which direction Yoshimoto's plane flies to Taiyuan from, it cannot escape Li Yunlong's palm.

"The middle of this month." Li Yunlong said calmly, "We are waiting for information from Boss Chen."

Ding Wei nodded, not doubting Boss Chen's intelligence capabilities at all. Boss Chen's spies had infiltrated the North China Front Army Command.

It is estimated that Yoshimoto Zhenyi had just taken off from Manchuria, and the voyage information of Yoshimoto Zhenyi and the major general of the Kwantung Army was placed on Li Yunlong's table.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "According to Boss Chen's information, the Japanese base camp allocated another flying team to the North China Front Army. This flying team is the 1st flying team of the Japanese 1st Flying Division. Type fighter jets also flew from Manchuria to Peiping in the middle of this month, at the same time as Yoshimoto Teichi arrived in Peiping.”

"In this way." Kong Jie asked, "the North China Front Army must have 70 planes, right?"

"Almost!" Ding Wei nodded, staring at the map and analyzing, "Old devil Neji Okamura, it seems that he wants to make a big splash!"

In the battle of Dagu Town, two flying regiments of the North China Front Army were directly destroyed, leaving only more than 30 aircraft.

Over the Taigu line of defense in Taiyuan, the devil's plane was shot down by Boss Chen's plane 8 more.

However, the devil added two more flying teams, so that the devil has about 2 more aircraft.

After a pause, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Old Li, have you got the information about the distribution of the Devil's plane?"

"Most of the devil's planes are at the airport in the western suburbs of Beiping."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned up the corners of his mouth:

"A small number of reconnaissance planes and transport planes are at other airports."

"If you kill one Devil plane, Boss Chen will give us one plane. After we kill all the planes of the North China Front Army, we will get another 1 planes!"

When Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard the words, their eyes became hotter again.

The more planes, the greater the strength of air support.

"It's a pity!" Kong Jie said, "It will be at least two months before the next batch of pilots graduates. Even if we add these 50 pilots, we still don't have that many pilots."

"I suggest that the next batch of planes be exchanged for a batch of trainer planes."

Ding Wei said in a deep voice:

"Our own aviation school should also be set up as soon as possible."

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, "That's what I thought. The head of the headquarters sent a telegram saying that YA is already building an airport and plans to build an aviation school."

Hearing this, the eyes of Ding Wei and Kong Jie were filled with anticipation.

Once the aviation school is established, the air force of the Eighth Route Army will definitely grow stronger and stronger.

Boss Chen will definitely provide strategic bombers in the future.

After the North China Front Army is eliminated, an airport can be built along the coast and strategic bombers can be dispatched to bomb the Japanese mainland.

Bombing the Japanese mainland is no longer a dream.

It may even counterattack the Japanese mainland in the future.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Japanese North China Front Command.

As Ding Wei expected, Neiji Okamura, Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue are planning big moves.

"Your Excellency, this is the mopping up plan formulated by the General Staff, please read it over."

Tanabe Moritake held a document in both hands, and handed it respectfully to Neiji Okamura, with Suesei standing beside him with his hands behind his back.

Neiji Okamura took the documents and opened the battle plan to read it.

The combat staff officers of the staff department have changed several times, and the only ones who have not changed are Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue.

Although the two are suspicious, they are very capable.

After Neiji Okamura's test, both of them were suspected to be not senior agents of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the North China Front Army.

At least there is no evidence that the two are senior agents of the Eighth Route Army.

The battle plan drawn up by Moritake Tanabe this time is not to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, but to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong Military Region.

Although the base camp is already mobilizing combat materials from the North China Front Army.

He also urged Okamura Ningci to gather troops as soon as possible and launch a sweep operation against the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

But Ningji Okamura is very forceful. He knows the gap between the North China Front Army and the Eighth Route Army. He may not be able to fight in the field, let alone take the initiative to attack the base areas in Northwest Shanxi.

Once the North China Front Army assembles its main force to attack the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi with more than 20 will never sit idly by.

At that time, I am afraid that the Japanese army will suffer heavy losses again.

Ningji Okamura really wanted to sweep Northwest Shanxi, but he calculated the cost and found that he couldn't beat it.

Therefore, Okamura Ningci decided to attack the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region first.

This is the annual key combat plan that Okamura Ningji formulated at the beginning of the year.

It is determined that this year "especially focus on the security in the northern part of HEB province, and strive to complete the mission of the National Army General Station Base."

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army eagerly hoped to restore law and order in North China and turn North China into a military base for war.

Moreover, the anti-Japanese base areas in Central Hebei posed a major threat to the operation of the Ping-Han, Jinpu, Shide and Beining railways, the main lines of communication for the Japanese army.

More importantly, once the Japanese army gathers heavy troops to fight the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong Military Region will definitely attack the Japanese army or cut off the Japanese army's supply line.

And before, Okamura Ningji launched a mopping operation against the Jizhong Military Region, that is, the iron rolling mopping operation.

Although some victories were achieved, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong Military Region slipped away.

作战计划主要是以第35师团、第110师团、混成第9旅团、骑兵第4旅团为主力，第27师团和飞行第1、第2战队配合。

The Eighth Route Army carried out raids and encirclement operations against the main force of the Chinese Communist Army in the so-called Central Hebei region, and eliminated its base areas. At the same time, various strategies such as politics, economics, and ideology were used to achieve the goal of a safe area in one fell swoop.

The entire combat time is expected to be 1 month.

"Yo Xi!"

After reading the entire battle plan, Ningji Okamura nodded expressionlessly, and closed the documents in his hand:
"Just follow this plan, but it must be kept secret. Before launching an attack on the Eighth Route Army, frequently mobilize troops to confuse the Eighth Route Army headquarters."

"The time to launch the sweeping attack is set on May [-]st!"

"Also, the battle plan must be kept secret!"

Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue are quite capable, and the battle plans they made are very detailed and very feasible.

Steady and steady, step by step, don't rush for success.

Of course, it is mainly a battle plan based on the guiding ideology of Okamura Ningji.

"Hi!"

Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Sei bowed their heads together.

Looking at the back of the chief and deputy chief of staff leaving, Neiji Okamura pushed his round glasses.

The locust army can't deal with the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, can it still not destroy the Eighth Route Army in your Jizhong Military Region?
Central Hebei and Northwest Shanxi are separated by hundreds of kilometers. I, Neiji Okamura, do not believe that Li Yunlong's hand can extend to Central Hebei!

Much more troops and combat supplies were used in this sweep than in the previous iron rolling sweep.

Okamura Ningji is very confident about this mopping operation.

……

but.

Even if the North China Front Army Command keeps it secret.

That night, the Japanese army's May Day campaign plan was placed on Li Yunlong's table.

"The devils want to gather heavy troops to sweep the Jizhong military region?"

Looking at the intelligence materials sent by Yan Shuangying sent by Boss Chen on the table in front of him, Li Yunlong looked thoughtful.

He thought that Ning Okamura was going to gather heavy troops to sweep Northwest Shanxi.

Li Yunlong has already made preparations for the Japanese mopping up. After defeating the Japanese mopping up troops, there will be another wave of pushback to wipe out the devils.

Even if all the devils cannot be wiped out, the devils must be driven out of Shanxi and Shanxi should be recovered.

"Interesting." Li Yunlong sneered in his heart, "Old Devil Okamura Ningji, this is a coward..."

"The old devil doesn't plan to attack Northwest Shanxi, then I, Li Yunlong, will attack!"

Now that the planes and pilots are in place, it's time to prepare to eliminate the devils in Shanxi.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi and Southeast Shanxi has exceeded 30, and the number of militia units has exceeded 50.

In terms of firepower, the Eighth Route Army completely crushed the Japanese army, and had air support and air supremacy.

What are you waiting for?
