Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As the commander of the North China Front Army, Neiji Okamura knew very well that the Eighth Route Army should not be joking this time.Once the war starts, the two of them will inevitably be divided into victors and losers, and the loser will also suffer greatly.

Despite this period of time, Neiji Okamura has ordered his troops to take defensive measures in many key areas in North China.But he also knew that the North China Front Army had a fatal weakness, that is, its strength was too small.

Although Neji Okamura called the Army Headquarters many times, he hoped that the Army Headquarters would add some troops to the North China Front Army.It is a pity that the Japanese army, which is currently fighting in Changsha, also cannot deploy too many troops to help the battle.

The most important point is that with the rapid rise and growth of the various departments of the Eighth Route Army.In order to ensure the security of central China and the southern region, the Central China Front Army had to send more troops to garrison.

The increase of these garrisons undoubtedly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Central China Front Army to a certain extent.If troops are transferred from the south to support the North China Front Army, it will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of the Japanese army's rule in the south.

The Xiao Jinguang Division of the New 67th Army currently deployed in Hubei and Anhui, the Xuxiang Front Division in Shandong, the Liu Zhidan Division in Henan, and the New Fourth Army units in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

The strength of these troops has also increased rapidly this year.Even the influence of the Eighth Route Army in the south today is definitely not bad compared to the Nationalist Army who is fighting the Japanese army in Changsha at the moment.

The expansion and stability of the newly liberated areas have also brought enormous benefits to the troops.In addition to having sufficient sources of troops, the logistical support of the troops has also been greatly improved.Under such circumstances, how could the Japanese army in the south dare to relax their vigilance.

It can be said that the Japanese army is stretching the front line due to being too greedy, and is constantly strangling their own vital strength.The existence of these Eighth Route Army troops also relieved the pressure on the Nationalist Army on the Changsha battlefield to a certain extent.

Originally, the Eighth Route Army proposed that troops could be sent into Hunan and Hubei provinces to support the Nationalist Army in the war of resistance.But in the end, Lao Jiang still felt that it was not safe, and he was afraid that it would be easy to ask the gods and send the gods away, so he finally refused the support of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to take care of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army's combat troops in the south continued to expand the construction of guerrilla areas and base areas behind enemy lines.On the one hand, a large-scale raid and harassment war was also organized, so that the confronting Japanese troops did not dare to leave easily.

So now that the war in North China is imminent, the Japanese army still has no way to increase troops to North China.Even Neiji Okamura proposed that he hope to transfer some naval ships and HNA troops to help in the battle. The Army Department is also negotiating urgently with the Ministry of the Navy.

Okamura Ningji, who has been unable to get a reply from the military for a long time, can do is to order the frontline troops to hold the current occupied area.Once the frontline war collapses, North China, which was so hard to swallow, will cease to exist.

Looking at the information recently collected by the Special High School, Okamura Ningji said in a deep tone: "It seems that the Eighth Route Army is preparing to attack in the near future! And this time, the Eighth Route Army's attack must be extremely fierce. We must prepare for the worst. .

Judging from the current troop mobilization situation of the Eighth Route, they should plan to attack from the direction of Shijiazhuang.It's just that what I'm most worried about now is the eighth road behind us. Have you received any information about their troop mobilization recently? "

Facing Neiji Okamura's question, the new intelligence officer of the North China Super High School shook his head and said, "General, we haven't received any information about their troop deployment yet. Most of the Eight Routes in this direction are deployed in the Northeast.

It's just that according to the news we received earlier, the offensive launched by the Second Division of the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou ended in failure.Moreover, the current situation in the Northeast is also not optimistic, with frequent harassment and sabotage by the Eighth Route Army.

Even under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route elite troops, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the palace of Manchukuo were bombarded.Fortunately, the emperor, Commander Mei Yan, did not suffer too much damage from the shelling, but his morale was still greatly frustrated! "

Neiji Okamura also said sadly about the information that the intelligence officer said: "Yes! Who would have thought that these dirt roads that were ignored by us earlier would develop in less than three years. grown to its current size.

The Kwantung Army has always felt that they are the strongest army in our empire.But the previous battle with the Soviet Far East Army had already cost them their pride.It's only now that I realize the power of the Eight Routes, so I'm afraid it's too late.

If they can pay attention to the eight-way attack in advance, perhaps our current situation will not be so embarrassing.Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to get their support! "

According to the proposal of the Army Department, it is hoped that the North China side will try its best to get closer to the Kwantung Army under unavoidable circumstances.But judging from the current situation, He Zhengdao's troops deployed in North China still did not relax their guard.

If the North China Front Army attacks He Zhengdao's troops.In such a short period of time, it may be able to create a lot of pressure on He Zhengdao.But judging from the current situation, they may be too late.

Once they are unable to defeat the Northeast Field Army responsible for blocking them in a short time, the assembled Eighth Route Army units will also drive straight in and attack the North China Front Army from the front.In this way, the North China Front Army will face the tragedy of annihilation.

In response to the current unfavorable situation, Neiji Okamura even thought about abandoning North China and preserving the current troops in North China.With these troops, perhaps the Japanese army can gain more benefits in other Southeast Asian countries.

But Okamura Ningji knew in his heart that his suggestion could not be said at all.Once he makes such a suggestion, he will be regarded as a disgrace by those ministers of the Army Department.After all, the Japanese army has never had such a precedent of defeat without a fight!

Thinking of this, Neiji Okamura could only take a deep breath and said: "Deploy some troops from Tangshan to strengthen the defense and vigilance of Tianyan. No matter how difficult the situation is, we must ensure the safety of Tianyan area.

At the same time, a notice was issued to the overseas Chinese currently in North China, asking them to leave North China as soon as possible in the near future.Earlier, I had already communicated with the people in the navy. As long as the expatriates arrive at Tianyan Port, they can leave here by boat.

Perhaps these plans of mine will not be recognized by others, but it is better than the insurance of abandoning these expatriates at that time.This time, if we want to defend North China, we may not have much hope.We have to prepare for the worst, understand? "

"General, we currently have more than [-] troops stationed in North China, can't we still defend these places?" '

Some generals felt that Ningji Okamura was too pessimistic, and seemed to be obviously dissatisfied with this "worst plan".But Neiji Okamura, who heard this, said directly: "Then do you know how many enemies we will face next?"

The seemingly simple inquiries all the time made these generals seem a little hesitant.In fact, before they came to the meeting, although they all knew that the Eighth Route Army was about to launch an attack.But how many troops there are, they really don't know!

Under Neiji Okamura's signal, the intelligence officer of the special high school also said in a timely manner: "According to the information we have reconnaissed so far, the Eighth Route Army is currently in front of us, and the main force of the four armies has been deployed.

These four main forces are all elite troops of the Eighth Route Army.In addition to the three troops that fought a decisive battle with us in the Shijiazhuang area earlier, there is another enemy 35th army currently stationed in the Baoding area.

Earlier, these four troops had been expanded to a certain extent.Each army has three infantry divisions and direct troops under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of only about 8 to [-] troops.Its weapons and equipment have also been improved to a certain extent in the near future.

The most critical of these is that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are equipped with a certain number of heavy artillery units.Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, it can basically be confirmed that Eighth Road already has the ability to produce heavy artillery.

In addition to the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has been deployed in East Jidong and Chengde.The number of eight-way troops we will have to deal with next may reach 40 or even more.In terms of military strength, we are at an absolute disadvantage! "

The ratio of almost four to one really surprised these Japanese generals.You know, during the Battle of Shijiazhuang, they fought against the three ace divisions of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the Eighth Route Army dispatched only about [-] troops.

Now it has nearly doubled in size, and there is even an additional 35th Army, which really puts these generals under pressure.Perhaps in the past, some Japanese generals would feel that no amount of Eighth Route soldiers would be vulnerable.

But with the increase in the number of battles with the Eighth Route Army, they have realized the strength of the Eighth Route Army.In the case of military treatment, unless they have an absolute advantage in weapons, they won't be able to get too much money.

Even as the defensive side, they have a great geographical advantage.But the problem is that if the war starts now, their so-called rear may not be safe.After all, the people living in the rear are all Chinese, so they may not support them.

Once the Eighth Route Army does something in the rear, then their supplies alone may be greatly affected.Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to defend North China!

Looking at the generals under his command who fell into silence and worry, Okamura Neiji also said in a timely manner: "You are all excellent generals of the empire, I believe you are all aware of the magnitude of the crisis we are facing this time.

But we are soldiers of the empire, and we have the responsibility to defend the dignity and honor of the empire.Maybe we can't redeem the fate of failure, but I hope that in the next battle, you can defend the honor of the empire. "

The seemingly simple sentence still made these generals feel the determination in Neiji Okamura's heart.This also means that this time the North China Front Army is also preparing for a bloody battle.But how long you can last, maybe you will only know after you fight!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the North China Front Army realized that the Eighth Route Army was about to launch an offensive, it also began to deploy defensive measures intensively.At the base of the Eighth Route Army Air Force Brigade in Ordos, a group of ground crews are also busy.

Compared with the previous take-off training of a large team, this time it is different.Many ground crews know that the fighter jets that took off today no longer only fly in the airspace of Ordos as usual, but this time they will actually appear on the battlefield.

In addition to the new fighter jets, twenty sorties will be dispatched at one time this time, and a batch of new engines will be replaced. The fighter jets and bombers captured by the little devil before will all participate in the next operation this time.

For the officers and soldiers of the first brigade of the Air Force, they are undoubtedly nervous and excited.After training for so long, they have long wanted to have a real contest with the little devil.But everyone understands that this kind of contest has huge risks.

Even new fighter jets and refitted old planes are equipped with relatively advanced ejection safety devices.But no one can guarantee that when it comes to real air combat, they will still have enough time to eject.

As the head of the air force flight regiment and the captain of the first brigade, Zheng Shaoyu also felt very emotional when he saw the carefully selected pilots under his command.After all, it is indeed very rare for them to have the current scale.

'Comrades, it has been almost two years since the establishment of the First Group of our Air Force.But since the establishment of the brigade, except for the Yan'an air battle, we have not really competed with the little devil's air force.And this time, finally had the chance.

With the consent of the headquarters and the commander, our brigade will officially leave the base this time and begin to enter the air force base built in our liberated area.This also means that in the future we will shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the airspace of the motherland.

The comrades selected to participate in the combat mission this time will also be formally established as the third brigade of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.The air force base of the three brigades will be established outside Zhangjiakou.The corresponding facilities of the air force base are almost perfect now.

Just one thing, I think comrades should be clear.Once the little devils know that we already have an established air force, they will definitely do everything possible to try to destroy the air force we have finally formed.

So what we have to do is to use the skills you have learned and practiced over the years to shoot down all the enemies who dare to invade our air force.You are the first air force to go to the front line, I hope you will live up to the expectations of your chief. '

Following He Zhengdao's approval of the First Brigade of the Air Force to participate in the upcoming North China Campaign, He Zhengdao discussed with Boss Zhu and finally decided to select a group of pilots from the First Brigade to formally form the Third Brigade of the Air Force.

The base of the Air Force's third brigade will also be located at Zhangjiakou's airport.This used to be the little devil's airport. After restoration and reconstruction, it is very suitable for the air force to settle in quickly.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the air force base, He Zhengdao also specially deployed an anti-aircraft artillery battalion from the rear to station near the airport.Doing this is also to guard against the possible air bombing that the little devil will carry out next.
