I am helping

Li Yunlong heard this and thought carefully: "The culprit of the Jinling Massacre is indeed the 9th Division."

赵刚点了点头：“除了第9师团之外，还有第华中方面军、上海派遣军，第3师团、第6师团、第16师团、第18师团、第114师团，以及第14师团和第5师团的一部分。不过，第6师团的师团长古寿夫已经被咱们干掉了，第5师团也被咱们全歼了。”

"Not in a hurry!"

"Our accounts with the Japanese have been settled slowly one by one. Now it's down to the 9th Division!"

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, and his murderous intent became more intense.

The killings caused by the devils in China will have to be paid back sooner or later.

Zhao Gang also narrowed his eyes and asked, "How does the 9th Division plan to ambush our aircraft?"

Then, Li Yunlong told the Japanese about their preparations to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

Boss Chen's information was as timely and detailed as ever. The method, time, location and strength of the Japanese ambush were all very clear.

However, due to the length limit of the telegram, only the method, time, place and strength of the Japanese ambush were included.

But Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang could use this telegram to deduce the firepower used by the Japanese.

The method is fishing. The time will be tomorrow during the day. The location is the Dongshan area southeast of Zhangjiakou. There are about 3 troops and firepower of at least dozens of 20mm machine guns, five to six hundred light and heavy machine guns, and about 2 rifles.

Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang his speculation about the Japanese firepower.

"The Japanese anti-aircraft firepower is not weak!"

Zhao Gang's rare look was solemn.

Dozens of 20mm machine guns, five to six hundred machine guns, and 2 rifles.

If the Eighth Route Army aircraft dives to an altitude of 400 meters to drop bombs, or dives close to the ground to strafe, all the Japanese firepower will fire at once.

The rain of bullets coming at them was definitely a fatal attack on the Eighth Route Army's fighters and bombers!
"Now we have two options."

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued:

"First, let's pretend we don't know. We won't send planes to Zhangjiakou tomorrow to bomb. We will wait until the Japanese retreat and then send planes there to continue the bombing."

Li Yunlong continued what Zhao Gang said: "Second, let's send bombers to drop bombs at high altitude to teach the Japs of the 9th Division a lesson!"

"What are you going to do?"

Although he already had the answer in his heart, Zhao Gang still asked.

"How?"

Li Yunlong said in a harsh tone: "Of course it is to teach the 9th Division a lesson and let the son-of-a-bitch 9th Division know what the hell is called carpet bombing."

Zhao Gang was not surprised at all by Li Yunlong's answer. If he didn't bomb the 9th Division, he wouldn't be Li Yunlong.

"Row!"

Zhao Ganggong nodded in agreement.

then.

Li Yunlong left the headquarters of the new regiment and went to the headquarters to petition the head of the headquarters for a fight.

After the head of the headquarters heard about this situation, he agreed to Li Yunlong's request without much thought and appointed Comrade Li Yunlong as the commander-in-chief of this combat operation.

The two flying regiments at the headquarters were also placed under the command of Li Yunlong.

The boss has only one request: to blow up the bastard 9th Division.

After taking command of the two flight regiments at the headquarters, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters and immediately began to gather bomber formations.

Two flight regiment commanders and two flight group commanders were called to the headquarters of the new regiment for a meeting.

Zhang Zhongkui, Zheng Shaoqiang, Li Shaorong and Zhang Shisun just walked into the headquarters of the new regiment.

Then I saw Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo busy there.

The four people all looked at each other, their eyes flickering, implying expectation.

Is there another war?
Could it be to deal with the newly-built 6th Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army?
Everyone thought of the previous air battles, annihilating the North China Front Army aviation unit, bombing Tokyo and the aircraft carrier Xianghe, and defeating the Japanese aviation unit in Central China. Each air battle caused heavy losses to the Japanese, and the Eighth Route Army was greatly enriched. Now talk about When it comes to the Eighth Route Army Air Force, even Americans can't help but praise it.

But this time Li Yunlong summoned them together, which was obviously a big move.

"Captain, are you planning something big?"

The four of them gave Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang a military salute. Li Shaorong leaned forward slightly and asked in an expectant tone.

Li Yunlong returned the military salute, nodded, glanced at everyone, and got straight to the point:
"Reliable information has been received that the Japanese 9th Division is preparing to use fishing to ambush our bombing aircraft in the Dongshan area southwest of Zhangjiakou tomorrow."

"The Japanese army has prepared dozens of 20mm anti-aircraft guns, more than 600 light and heavy machine guns and the firepower of about 2 Type 3 rifles. The total Japanese troop strength is about [-]."

Li Yunlong said while pointing to the map.

The four pilot commanders looked at the map.

Li Shaorong, the captain of the new regiment's flying brigade, his eyes lit up and said: "Captain, what do you mean, a wave of carpet bombing for the Japs in the 9th Division?" Li Yunlong punched Li Shaorong and said with a smile: "You kid has a strong head." Come on, now we have more than 200 pilots and can dispatch 50 heavy bombers, plus 50 fighter jets and 50 attack aircraft. All aircraft are fully loaded with aerial bombs, incendiary bombs and napalm bombs. The total weight is no less than 600 tons! Devils! The maximum range of light and heavy machine guns is only more than 1000 meters. We dropped bombs at a medium altitude of 2 kilometers, and the Japanese 20mm machine guns couldn't reach them. The planes formed several bombing formations and took turns bombing, and all the bombs had to be thrown away. Hehe, 600 tons of bombs are enough for the little devils of the 9th Division to drink a pot."

"Captain Li, this is a great move!"

Zheng Shaoqiang suddenly became happy:
"I know that Zhangjiakou Dongshan is a small area. There is only one kilometer leading to Beiping. The Japanese are planning to ambush us here. Our bombs are dropped like dumplings, leaving them with no way to find a safe corner or anywhere to hide. .”

Zheng Shaoqiang's original Fourth Aviation Group was stationed at Zhangjiakou Airport, so he was familiar with the terrain there.

Li Yunlong said to Zheng Shaoqiang, the commander of the second flying regiment: "Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang, this air strike operation is under your command. I have only one request: give the labor and management a hard blow to their son-of-a-bitch 9th Division."

"Thank you Captain Li for your trust!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Zheng Shaoqiang's tone was solemn, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes.

Although Zheng Shaoqiang and Li Yunlong are both commanders of the Eighth Route Army.

But Zheng Shaoqiang knew very well that the Li Yunlong in front of him had already been treated at the division level, and was a general-like figure on the same level as the division commander of the Eighth Route Army.

Zheng Shaoqiang did not expect that Li Yunlong could give him command of this air raid operation.

After a pause, Li Yunlong glanced at the other three people with a stern expression: "The Japanese 9th Division is one of the culprits of the Jinling Massacre. You must cooperate with Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang to complete this air raid!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhongkui, Li Shaorong and Zhang Shisun looked solemn and shouted in unison.

Although Li Yunlong studied theoretical knowledge in aspects such as "Air Dominance", in the field of war, theory is pale, and rich war practice is important.

Li Yunlong is not a pilot. It is impossible for him to fly a plane and engage in dogfights with Japanese planes, and it is impossible for him to accumulate flying experience.

Professional things should be left to professionals, and Zheng Shaoqiang is very professional.

Zheng Shaoqiang, Zhang Zhongkui, Li Shaorong and Zhang Shisun quickly formulated combat plans and emergency plans at the headquarters of the new regiment.

How many bombers, fighter jets and attack planes were dispatched, which pilots flew which planes, which planes carried which bombs, as well as bombing in several formations and the order of bombing were all worked out.

After Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang read the combat plan and emergency plan, they agreed directly.

After that, all the air forces of the Eighth Route Army, including pilots, ground and logistics personnel, as well as engineers and technicians, all devoted themselves to pre-war preparations.

All preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

The Eighth Route Army is preparing, and the Japanese in Zhangjiakou are also preparing in an orderly manner.

After dark.

All the Japs from the 9th Division in the surrounding mountainous areas were transferred to the Dongshan area overnight.

In order to prevent being bombed, almost all the Japs in the 1st Division and the 26th Division withdrew to the city of Zhangjiakou, together with the Chinese people.

The Japs of the 9th Division could only stay in the mountains around Zhangjiakou.

The terrain of Zhangjiakou is surrounded by mountains. The Japs of the 9th Division were hidden in the mountains and were relatively scattered. This effectively avoided large-scale bombing by the Eighth Route Army Air Force. Otherwise, the Japs of the 9th Division would have suffered greater casualties.

After the Japs of the 9th Division quickly arrived at Dongshan at night, they began to build hidden fortifications and fire points for machine guns and machine guns by taking advantage of the vegetation on Dongshan.

There is a winding road between several hills on the east side of the mountain.

midnight.

Zhangjiakou Japanese Joint Command Headquarters.

"Reporting to the division commander, all firepower points of the army have been deployed according to the division headquarters!"

A combat staff officer answered the phone, walked quickly to Higuchi Kiichiro, lowered his head and reported the report.

"Yo Xi!"

Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro looked shocked, but still ordered:

"Order all units to be concealed. The Eighth Route Army pilots must not be allowed to see the flaws from the sky. If any unit fails to conceal itself and the plan fails, it should be disemboweled to thank the locusts."

"Hi."

The combat staff officer lowered his head, turned and walked towards the phone.

"Everyone, go and have a rest. Please be sure to get up early tomorrow. I invite you to enjoy the Eight-Road Fireworks."

Subsequently.

Higuchi Kiichiro looked at the division commanders and chiefs of staff of the 1st Division and the 26th Division, including Mitsuo Nakazawa, Shigetori Kuroda and others, with a tone of determination to win.
