Yoshio Iwamatsu was right when he said that it was indeed impossible for the Eighth Route Army to overturn the Japanese dominance around Shanxi within a few days.
After all, the local people's fear of the Japanese has gone deep into their bones. It is too difficult to make the people not afraid of the Japs with a battle and a little food.
But Huang Yu had no intention of subverting the dominance of the Japanese army.
The main force of the Japanese and puppet troops will reinforce Taiyuan sooner or later. Even if they really overturn the Japanese army's dominance here, they will not have the strength to establish a base here.
His current goal is to eliminate all Japanese puppet troops and traitor armed forces in the surrounding area, and turn the little devils in the city into blind and deaf people, unable to investigate him.
When the ambush is gone and the real siege begins, Yoshio Iwamatsu will definitely be caught off guard.
…………
Three days later, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army continued to sweep away the remaining Japanese puppet troops and traitor armed forces around Taiyuan.
Compared with two days ago, the results have been greatly reduced.
The big traitors who were full of crimes were basically wiped out in the first round of attacks, leaving only a few fish that slipped through the net and small traitors.
However, Huang Yu and Li Yunlong both followed the principle that small mosquitoes are also meat, and continued to attack, intending to eat them together, so that Yoshio Iwamatsu would completely lose his eyes and ears to detect them.
"Captain...Taiyue heard that someone was looking for you and Captain Li, and said they were old acquaintances of yours..." The guard suddenly came to Huang Yu to report.
Li Yunlong was the first to react: "Taiyue Base... isn't that the old brigade commander's unit?"
"Bring him here quickly..."
"Li Yunlong...Huang Yu..." the visitor shouted in a loud voice as he walked into the headquarters.
"Do you all still recognize me...Old Chen from the Brigade Headquarters...Combat Staff Officer..."
"Consultant Chen..." Li Yunlong reacted suddenly, then greeted him with enthusiasm, patting the other party on the shoulder.
"You seem to be stronger than before, and you've also tanned..."
"I remember when I saw you before, you were thin and scholarly, with no strength at all."
"It's been a few years since you've seen a big change?"
"Are you still working as a staff officer at the brigade headquarters... No, it should be the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters now. The former battalion-level staff officers are now at least deputy regiment level."
The middle-aged man whom Li Yunlong called Lao Chen smiled coquettishly and replied sheepishly: "I was the deputy commander of the army last year... I was just promoted to the commander this year!"
"Not bad... you are on the same level as me!" Li Yunlong sighed with a smile.
Lao Chen quickly waved his hand: "How can I compare with you!"
"If our Eighth Route Army hadn't had a limited establishment, you and Captain Kong would have been brigade commanders long ago."
"I heard the commander say: Although you and Commander Kong both wear the title of commander, they defeated Okamura Neiji in a row in the Wing Center base area. The troops in hand have already exceeded 10,000 people."
"Heavy artillery, tanks, whatever you want..."
"It's even more powerful than it was in northwest Shanxi..."
"When there is an opportunity in the future, you two will definitely be promoted to division commander immediately."
"The commander asked me to come over and say hello to you..."
"I'll send you two people by the way..."
"I heard that you have captured a large number of aircraft and are preparing to fly them back to the Yi Zhong base to form an air force...Old Chen, I have never seen an aircraft up close..."
"How about... can you take Lao Chen to see me!"
When being chased and praised by his former comrades, Li Yunlong, no matter how thick-skinned he is, sometimes feels embarrassed and immediately replies: "Simple!"
"First introduce the two people sent here to us, and I will take you to see the plane after dark..."
Lao Chen immediately called two pilots disguised as cavalry into the headquarters: "Li Yunlong, Comrade Huang Yu..."
"The person in front of me is Staff Officer Zhou of the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters, a battalion-level cadre."
"If you hadn't captured more than 20 aircraft, he would have immediately transferred his troops to become a battalion commander."
"The person behind him is a company commander of the front-line troops of the Taiyue Military Region... He flew with Staff Zhou in Nanjing..."
"If it weren't for Staff Zhou's leak, we wouldn't have known that there was such a talented person hidden in the Tiao Taiyue Eighth Route Army..."
Huang Yu gave a direct order: "You must be very tired after traveling for so long..."
"I'll let the soldiers arrange for you to go to bed first."
"After dark, we will go look at the planes to determine which planes the two pilots can fly. By the way, we will get familiar with the planes we captured and prepare for the transfer."
"We will start transferring the aircraft as soon as the other pilots arrive..."
Two days later, all twelve pilots found by the deputy commander rushed to Taiyuan Airport.
But they seized 22 planes from Taiyuan Airport, which definitely didn't have enough pilots.
"Captain Li... How about we just fly twice..." Staff Officer Zhou, who was the first to arrive here, immediately expressed his thoughts.
"We will fly once tonight, return to Wing Center and quickly return to Taiyuan Airport by highway, and then fly a second time to try to transport all the captured aircraft back to the base."
"Anyway, we are flying at night, so we are not afraid of the little devils. We have plenty of time to slowly transition!"
"Flying a plane at night... How is this possible? Are you crazy?" A newly arrived pilot couldn't help shouting.
"Comrade Tan Jiaye, don't worry..." Staff Officer Zhou already knew the entire transshipment plan and used his expertise to come up with many ideas. He knew very well the success rate of this flight operation and immediately comforted him.
"Although it is a night flight... the ground forces have given us full protection, ensuring that it is safer than flying during the day."
Tan Jiaye asked with an expression of disbelief: "How to guarantee..."
"We are in the sky and they are on the ground. After dark, we can't see each other at all. How can we ensure that the plane does not yaw during flight?"
Lao Chen immediately explained: "The ground troops will use bonfires to help us guide us in the right direction."
"From Taiyuan Airport to the Yizhong Temporary Airport, ground troops will light a large fire every five kilometers."
"They heard the roar of the plane and lit it up to ensure that everyone could see it clearly from a thousand meters above the ground."
"The plane followed the bonfire and ended at the temporary airport that had just been repaired at the Yi Zhong Base."
"Guaranteed not to deviate."
Seeing that the pilots were all digesting what Lao Chen had just introduced, Li Yunlong suddenly interrupted: "The only problem now is that there are more planes than pilots."
"If we transfer the planes in two times, no matter how stupid Iwamatsu Yoshio is after tonight, he will know that we have captured a large number of planes from Taiyuan Airport. He will definitely try his best to destroy the remaining planes and send planes to intercept them halfway to prevent us from transferring the remaining planes. Meeting in the Wing..."
"Captain Li...I have an idea..." The other pilot suddenly stood up.
"There was a transport plane seized inside. I happened to be on the transport plane..."
"I'll fly the transport plane back to the wing first and bring some fuel with me."
"After all other pilots arrive at the wing, I will use a transport plane to send them back to Taiyuan, and directly fly the second batch of aircraft to the wing, trying not to delay the transfer operation until the next day."
"Even if Yoshio Iwamatsu wanted to counterattack, no Japanese plane would dare to fly out overnight to intercept us."
