I am helping

Chapter 845 I, Yan Xishan, will definitely come back!
The next day, various units of the Eighth Route Army began to march towards Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railway.

Various heavy weapons and equipment were towed by trucks and driven on the highway.

The infantrymen carried guns and marching backpacks, and walked quickly with helmets on their heads. The marching team was so majestic and huge that it could not be seen to the end at a glance.

Overhead, there were domestic fighter jets and reconnaissance planes flying past with huge mechanical roars, and the soldiers on the ground suddenly felt safe.

It was the first time for almost all the warriors to feel that the sky belonged to them.

and.

On the first day of departure, the news that the Eighth Route Army's new flying group and the fighter jets of the flying group directly under the headquarters had killed General Naosaburo Okabe, the new commander of the Japanese North China Front, had spread to all Eighth Route Army units.

The current Eighth Route Army combat troops have high morale.

"Enter Taiyuan Mansion and kill little Japan!"

Soldiers from various units shouted slogans and sang military songs as they rushed towards the Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railways.

……

Luliang Mountain.

Difficult slope.

The Second Theater Command of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

"Report to Commander, the situation has been clarified. General Naosaburo Okabe, the new commander of the Japanese North China Front, was indeed killed by the Eighth Route Army."

"And he died in the same way as the new commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi."

"This time the Eighth Route Army's methods were even more severe. They dropped two powerful incendiary bombs at the location where Okabe Naosaburo crashed."

"It is said that Naosaburo Okabe was directly blown to pieces and burned to ashes by incendiary bombs."

In the conference hall, an intelligence staff officer reported to Yan Xishan the intelligence information the intelligence department had just received.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasp of air in the conference hall.

Including Chu Yunfei and Yan Xishan, everyone's eyes widened slightly in disbelief, as if they were digesting this information.

Although Li Yunlong immediately sent a clear telegram after confirming the death of Naosaburo Okabe from Boss Chen.

At that time, the radio station of the Second Theater Command received the clear telegram immediately and reported it to Yan Xishan.

However, the content of the telegram was a bit too shocking. A powerful Japanese general and the new commander of the North China Front was shot dead.

Yan Xishan couldn't tell whether this was a smoke bomb released by the Eighth Route Army or whether it was real.

So spies and agents from the Jinsui Army were ordered to investigate immediately.

The main reason why Yan Xishan was so concerned was that he was afraid that he would also be beheaded by the Eighth Route Army's planes.

The Eighth Route Army could even obtain information on the itinerary of Japanese lieutenant generals and generals, let alone the itinerary of Yan Xishan.

After a while, everyone came back to their senses, but there was still a slight expression of shock on their faces.

The intelligence staff continued to report: "In addition, our people also reported that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army's major military regions are marching towards the Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railways."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xishan's pupils shrank slightly again, and his tone revealed a touch of horror: "Is the Eighth Route Army finally going to attack the Japanese army in Shanxi?"

"Commander, according to intelligence, the Japanese army in Shanxi has 10 elite soldiers."

Deputy Commander Yang Xingru was also in disbelief.

"You really dare to do this on the Eighth Route Army?"

Chu Yunfei looked calm on the surface, but his heart was not as calm as on the surface.

It was Li Yunlong who did it again!
Not only did he kill the new commander of the North China Front, he also spread his ashes.

I have to say, well done!
If I listened to Li Yunlong and led the 358th regiment to join the new regiment, would I also have a share of the credit for killing Naosaburo Okabe?
This time Chu Yunfei was called to Kenanpo, not for tea and vacation, but to be investigated.

It was obvious that Yan Xishan no longer trusted Chu Yunfei.

A combat staff officer analyzed: "The current strength of the Eighth Route Army is probably not weaker than that of the Japanese North China Front. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with aircraft and has gained air supremacy. Coupled with the terrifying combat effectiveness of the three regiments in northwestern Shanxi, I am afraid it can really be solved." Shanxi’s 10-strong main force of the Japanese army is elite.”

Afterwards, Yan Xishan looked at Chu Yunfei and asked: "Yunfei, when you mentioned the New Regiment, did you see Li Yunlong's plane with your own eyes? Where is their airport? How many planes are there in total?"

"Report to the Commander."

Chu Yunfei reported truthfully:
"Yes, I did see Li Yunlong's plane with my own eyes. Their airport is in Dagu Town, and there are 50 planes in total."

"Among them are 20 fighters, 20 bombers, 5 transport aircraft and 5 reconnaissance aircraft."

When watching planes at Dagu Town Airport, Chu Yunfei asked Li Yunlong, Brother Yunlong, aren't you afraid that I will leak the location of the airport to the Japanese army?
Li Yunlong laughed, not afraid of leaking anything in his words, and even expected the Japanese planes to blow up the Dagu Town Airport.

Chu Yunfei thought that Li Yunlong, relying on the airport's anti-aircraft firepower, could give the Japanese planes a sneak attack.

But Chu Yunfei didn't know that the Eighth Route Army had already been equipped with radar that could monitor the airspace within a radius of 300 kilometers.

As long as the Japanese plane enters the 300-kilometer range of Dagu Town Airport, the radar can immediately detect it.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued: "Li Yunlong's aircraft have very powerful firepower. The last time the Japanese commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, personally directed the raid on the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region, Li Yunlong's aircraft dispatched reinforcements, cooperating with one on the ground. Strengthen the battalion and annihilate the 26th Japanese Cavalry Regiment.”

Hearing this, all the officers present showed expressions of disbelief and shock again.The aircraft of the Eighth Route Army were so powerful?

At this moment, the communications staff officer walked in quickly with two telegrams in his hand.

"Reporting to the commander, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing and Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu of the Japanese First Army Headquarters sent telegrams at the same time."

Yan Xishan frowned slightly. It was not a good thing that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Yoshio Iwamatsu sent telegrams at the same time.

Yan Xishan glanced at everyone present, some of whom were not close associates.

So, he took the telegram from the hands of the communications staff and read it.

As expected by Yan Xishan, both Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing and Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu of the Japanese First Army wanted Yan Xishan to take the opportunity to send troops to sneak attack the Eighth Route Army's base in northwest Shanxi.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing specifically emphasized that as long as the Shanxi-Sui army attacked northwest Shanxi, Yan Xishan wanted food and wages, guns for guns, and people for people.

However, the equipment seized from the steel plant and arsenal in the Eighth Route Army base area in northwestern Shanxi must be returned to the Chongqing government.

The commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, promised Yan Xishan 40 troops and combat supplies.

As long as the Jinsui Army attacks the Eighth Route Army base in northwest Shanxi, it will provide 40 equipment and combat supplies to Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army after the war.

Moreover, the telegram specifically stated that it was the promise of General Okamura Neiji, commander of the North China Front.

How smart is Yan Xishan?
He saw through at a glance the tricks of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Okamura Neji who wanted to have sex for free.

Both Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Okamura Neiji issued blank checks.

The Jinsui Army can do it, but the benefits are not available to the Jinsui Army.

Yan Xishan is a master who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. If he was so easily fooled, he would have been destroyed by Chiang Kai-shek during the Central Plains War.

Send troops to attack northwest Shanxi?

Can my body withstand the incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army?
After reading the two telegrams, Yan Xishan threw the telegrams on the long table in the conference room, his expression and tone full of ridicule: "Immediately call back Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Yoshio Iwamatsu of Chongqing, and say that within five days, The Jinsui Army will attack the Eighth Route Army's base in northwestern Shanxi and ask them to prepare food, wages, equipment and combat supplies and transport them to Luliang Mountain."

"Yes, Commander!" The communications staff quickly drafted two telegrams and left quickly.

Seeing Yan Xishan's expression and listening to his tone, the officers of the Jinsui Army present also laughed.

What if our commander is stupid?
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, but the sound quickly disappeared.

Judging from the sound, there was a plane flying over Kenanpo.

After a while, a guard officer ran in and reported to Yan Xishan: "Report to the commander, three fighter jets of the Eighth Route Army just passed over us in a flying formation, with aerial bombs hung under the wings."

A combat staff officer sounded puzzled: "The Eighth Route Army's airport is in Dagu Town, and the Japanese army is in Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railway. What are the Eighth Route Army's planes doing here?"

Deputy Commander Yang Xingru snorted: "They are watching and threatening us, telling us not to act rashly. Every move we make is under the surveillance of the other party. As long as we dare to make any changes, the Eighth Route Army's aerial bombs can kill us at any time." Theater Command."

Yan Xishan's face was gloomy. It felt uncomfortable to be stared at and threatened.

but.

Under the aerial threat of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan also completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking northwest Shanxi.

Once the Jinsui Army attacks northwest Shanxi, I am afraid that I will be the first to be burned to ashes by the incendiary bombs dropped by the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Just let the Eighth Route Army stand out for a while and be proud for a while. I, Yan Xishan, will definitely come back!
……

at the same time.

The new regiment is on its way to Taiyuan.

"Report to the regimental commander, Deputy Commander Xing has sent a telegram!"

The two telegraph cars in front stopped, and Li Yunlong's jeep also stopped. A telegraph soldier opened the door and walked out to report to Li Yunlong.

The telecommunications vehicle of the New Regiment was modified from the radio detection vehicle provided by Boss Chen.

Since the comrades from the radio station are always at the end of the team, it is very inconvenient to report the situation to the regiment headquarters.

In order not to miss the chance of fighting, Li Yunlong specially issued an order to Deputy Commander Xing to have the telecom truck catch up with the main force from northwest Shanxi overnight.

The radio in the telegraph truck has been emptied, and the telegraph soldiers and decoders moved the radio to the telegraph truck for work.

This will ensure that the telegraph troops send and receive telegrams while advancing and will not delay the fighter plane.

"Haha, that's great!"

Li Yunlong took a look at the telegram and said happily: "The 2nd Independent Brigade has captured Niangzi Pass. Our reconnaissance plane found a Japanese infantry regiment from Yangquan and a Japanese cavalry regiment from the direction of Jingxing County, advancing towards Niangzi Pass. "

Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou couldn't help but smile.

Wang Dehou said: "As soon as this lady's gate is defeated, we can close the gate and kill the dogs."

Zhao Gang looked at the map and said: "Niangzi Pass has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. This time it is even more related to the life and death of Shanxi's 10 Japanese troops. Although Niangzi Pass was captured by us, the Japanese reinforcements will definitely counterattack crazily. Now it depends on whether the 2nd Independent Brigade can hold Niangzi Pass before the Independent Group arrives at Niangzi Pass."

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and said in a stern tone: "Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Deputy Commander Xing and order the flying brigade to bomb the Japanese reinforcements at Niangziguan. In addition, he also sent a telegram to the headquarters, requesting the headquarters to send a flying group. , bomb the Japanese reinforcements together!"
