On the day when it was decided to unlock "heavy weapons", the headquarters issued an order to officially end the second phase of the Hundred Regiment War.
The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff officer have not been idle these days. They made a reasonable analysis based on the existing intelligence at hand.
They believe that in the next period of time, the North China Front Army will definitely gather a large number of troops to counterattack. After all, in more than a month of fighting, the Eighth Route Army has exposed its own strength.
Tada Shun is not a person who does not fight back when beaten, and he will definitely not sit still and wait for death. In order to stabilize public security in the occupied areas, the Japs will inevitably make a comeback.
But these are all things for later, now is the time to summarize.
Huang He was not lazy during this period either. He not only had to arrange the transfer of the logistics department with Zhang Wanhe, but also sorted out numerous materials in his laboratory.
In the third phase of counter-mopping up next month, the Okazaki Battalion/Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese 36th Division will accidentally bump into the vicinity of the Logistics Department.
Knowing that a powerful enemy is coming, it would be a fool not to leave at this time. We can't just rely on a guard regiment and the wounded from the hospital to fight with a large group of Japanese soldiers.
Although the combat effectiveness of one's own garrison is definitely stronger, this kind of battle is meaningless.
Guns have no eyes. Workers in the logistics department and doctors in the headquarters hospital are the treasures of the Eighth Route Army. The enemy will die as soon as he dies, but we are very precious.
This idea hit it off with the headquarters. After all, the logistics department is no longer the small workshop it used to be.
The Shanxi clique, Guozhou, and the Japanese have been working hard to infiltrate and try to find the Eighth Route Army's arsenal. The comrades need to move to a safer place.
The transportation this time was much more laborious. It would take a week to transport the large amount of equipment alone. Even so, all the vehicles on hand were used, and the fuel reserves of the logistics department were almost exhausted.
Fortunately, people from several surrounding villages were transferred together this time, so the manpower was very sufficient. Although the progress is a bit slow, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
Huang He had just finished organizing a bookshelf when Wang Dexing knocked on the door. After getting permission, the other party happily walked in holding a folder.
As the saying goes, the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon. As the guard and correspondent of the entire laboratory, Wang Dexing's cultural level has also made great progress.
He read the battle report in advance and was dazzled by the dizzying victory.
"Deputy Minister! We won another battle this time! What a relief! When I see those numbers, I can think of the enemy running away."
Huang He nodded, took the document, and started reading from the beginning. The performance of the three main players at this stage was still outstanding.
Although the tasks assigned by the headquarters to the 120th Division were not heavy, the soldiers equipped with various weapons burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
In just one week, they experienced a total of 95 large and small battles, killing and wounding more than 3,700 enemies. In addition, more than 90 kilometers of railways and nearly 150 kilometers of roads were damaged. It even blew up 17 railway and highway bridges.
During this operation, troops at all levels of the 120th Division seized a large amount of bullets and military supplies. Although the main force cannot be used, the strength of the basic regiments and local armed forces can be greatly improved.
They effectively contained the Japs on the Tongpu Line, and not only supported the 129th Division's operations on the Yu-Liao Highway and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region's operations in the Lai and Ling areas.
They also took the initiative to clear out enemy strongholds near the entire northern Shanxi base area.
After the first stage of the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia strengthened the defense of Laiyuan City, while the North China Front strengthened Lingqiu.
This brings the military strength of the two counties to more than a thousand, which can be regarded as two super strongholds.
In order to cooperate with the main force's operations in Laiyuan and Lingqiu, the Central Hebei Military Region launched the Renqiu, Hejian, Dacheng, and Suning campaigns.
The soldiers bravely killed the enemy, and at the cost of 300 casualties, they successfully held back a large number of Japanese support troops and killed more than 700 enemies.
The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was very comprehensively prepared. Under the leadership of Commander Yang, the soldiers not only conquered multiple strongholds, but also captured two county towns.
What is worth mentioning is that the soldiers also devoured an officer training brigade of the Japanese in one go.
In the second phase of the campaign, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region annihilated more than 4,500 Japanese and puppet troops. More than 150 kilometers of roads were destroyed and 29 enemy strongholds were destroyed. The only drawback is that there are no captures.
The commander of the garrison in Mongolia, Naosaburo Okabe, learned the lessons from the previous stage and assembled the independent mixed 2nd brigade, plus two cavalry brigades and artillery brigades on the third day of the war.
The enemy was heavily outnumbered and well-armed, coupled with the cover of a large number of tanks and aircraft, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing the attack.
The most outstanding one is the 129th Division. The enemies in southeastern Shanxi are relatively weaker. Under the fierce attack of the brigade commander and Brigadier Chen, the two counties of Yushe and Liaoxian could not hold on for even a day.
Coupled with the surrounding strongholds, Yoshio Shinozuka does not want to completely restore the blockade of the southeastern Shanxi base within half a year.
The division commander was even considering whether to move the division headquarters to Yushe, but unfortunately the enemy showed signs of counterattack, so he had to give up.
On the 28th, our intelligence network captured traces of the Japanese's large-scale troop deployment, so the headquarters ordered the three main forces to withdraw to the base again to recuperate.
As a result, the 36th Division, the 4th Independent Brigade, the 110th Division and the 15th Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Army, a total of more than 20,000 people, fell into vain.
——————————
After Wang Dexing left the laboratory, Huang He concentrated on opening the system interface. The next step was to choose a new decision.
At this time, the system's decision tree is different from the national policy tree in the game.
There are three more national policies of Gallic Chicken in the game, namely "Secure Hanoi Communication Line", "French Military Mission" and "French Military Training".
But in the system, only one "Secure Hanoi Transportation Line" is unselectable, and the remaining two have disappeared.
I don’t know if it’s because the Gallic Chicken surrendered, or because the system thinks it’s too rubbish.
After all, before the Gaul chickens surrendered, most of them were still using the fighting style of World War I. Digging trenches and squatting in pits is neither suitable for the terrain of North China nor the current fighting style of the Eighth Route Army.
Fortunately it has been removed, otherwise two 48 days would have been wasted.
The next difference lies in the decision-making line of leading heroes. In the game, Gallic chicken and leading heroes are mutually exclusive, and players can only choose one of the two.
But they can exist at the same time in the system, which is quite understandable.
You can say that it was the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and you could not ride in two different boats. I can also say that we are all members of the Allied Powers, and if we want to choose, we can pack them up and take them away together.
But in general, it is a good thing. After all, infantry and artillery + air force are currently the most suitable style of play for the Eighth Route Army.
"The waning days of Dai Ying:
Every pore of Daiying was dirty and bloody as she began to expand outwards. But as times changed, this former empire on which the sun never set gradually began to decline.
This European bandit has been continuously invading us since the mid-19th century.
No one can stop our rise now. It would be good to collect some interest before taking back what belongs to us.
Unlock time: 48 days
Effect: get
Three thousand Lee-Enfield No.1 MK3 rifles, 60,000 .303-inch R rifle ammunition.
Thirty Lewis M1915 light machine guns, with 12,000 0.303-inch SAA bullets.
Six Stokes mortars and three hundred rounds of 81mm mortars. "
To be honest, Huang He was very dissatisfied with the effect of this decision.
Although Lao Li and Lewis are both good weapons, if they were placed in 1940 in the original work, Li Yunlong would probably be drooling.
However, after a year of hard work, the Eighth Route Army's rifles and light machine guns have long been updated and fully installed. Local troops do not like these crappy things.
Let’s not talk about the quality. Just the fact that the ammunition is not uniform is a complicated matter.
However, this is a must for early decision-making, otherwise the next things will not be unlocked.
But just when Huang He was about to confirm his choice, "The Heroes of the Fading Sun" was clearly activated, but it couldn't be locked.
Huang He was about to exit and re-enter to see if the system was stuck, but at this moment the interface suddenly changed.
"."
"."
Unknown changes have taken place in the decision-making of "The Failing Daiying".
"Three Million Flying Jade Dragons:
Swooping under the rising sun, firing into the west wind. One of the sharp knives in the sky is worth ten, and the strong shield of the territory looks to the sky for the country.
The mountains and rivers are intact, and the eagle of the motherland has flown higher. The stars you engraved on the fuselage are the cruise coordinates of the soldiers.
Unlock time: 48 days.
Effect: Wang Hai, Liu Yudi, Zhao Baotong, Wang Tianbao, Jiang Daoping, and Hua Longyi arrived at the base area in southeastern Shanxi.
Obtained: 6 Spitfire Mk.9 fighter jets. "
After the new decision-making effect appeared, Huang He was shocked for a whole year. Although I don’t know why the change occurred, it is most likely related to my companions.
The most surprising thing about this new decision is not the six Mk.9 Spitfires.
Aircraft are indeed very precious to the Eighth Route Army, not to mention the mk9 which is slightly ahead of its time.
Even if speed and rotation are not considered, the two 20mm cannons and four 7.7mm machine guns it is equipped with are enough to completely destroy the Type 97 fighter jet that still uses a small water pipe.
But these are not as good as the six combat hero pilots, they are the most precious treasures.
The first is our country's first-generation fighter ace pilot, who made outstanding achievements in the anti-aggression war.
This great master shot down 4 enemy planes and damaged 5. His car, the fighter plane engraved with nine stars, is still on display in the military museum.
The brigade led by the combat hero is known for its bravery and proficiency in combat. It participated in two wars and fought more than 80 times with the U.S. Air Force, shooting down and damaging 29 enemy aircraft.
There is still a brigade named after him, and he has left behind the spirit of bayonet fighting in the air, inspiring generations of air force pilots.
After the second combat hero participated in the anti-aggression war, he achieved significant results in shooting down and damaging 8 enemy aircraft in air combat.
Although there was one less aircraft than the previous one, it set a record of shooting down 4 enemy aircraft in one air battle by a single aircraft.
The third one is even more invincible and is the king of air combat in the history of our Air Force. During the anti-aggression war, a total of 7 U.S. aircraft were shot down and 2 were damaged, setting a personal record for pilots at the time.
This car is also displayed in the military museum, and the 9 red stars spray-painted on the fuselage are extremely shining.
The fourth one is also a legend. Although he only shot down 4 ugly planes, the situation is different from the above ones.
At that time, he cooperated with the bomber group to perform combat missions and escorted the bombers. On the way, his La-11 was besieged by seven Sabers.
However, the legend did not give up because the performance difference between the aircraft was too large. Instead, he made various maneuvers and waited for opportunities to counterattack.
Eight minutes later, he used a propeller plane to kill three Sabres. Created a miracle in the history of world air combat, driving a piston propeller fighter to shoot down a jet fighter.
The fifth combat hero is nicknamed the Air Gunner. He only had twenty hours of flying experience when he first entered the battlefield. To put it bluntly, some people are not able to learn to drive at this time.
At that time, he was covering the return of friendly forces who had just completed a combat mission. Due to the size of the airport, everyone could only land in separate waves.
The squadron where the sharpshooter belonged was the last one to land. Just when he was about to slow down and lower his altitude, Chou's saber suddenly appeared above the airport.
An enemy plane with a high altitude advantage suddenly opened fire on him. As a novice, he had never encountered such a situation. He could only pull the plane up based on the experience taught by his instructor.
In just a moment, the enemy plane that originally had the height advantage suddenly rushed below him. The sharp artilleryman fired three shots and killed a Saber on the spot.
In the following year, the 23-year-old young pilot shot down five enemy aircraft and damaged two. And they are all wearing sabers, and they have since won the reputation of saber killers.
It must be mentioned that he fell behind during one mission. But on the way back, I saw thirty enemy planes. In this situation, most people would definitely act as a trick.
But instead of running away, the saber killer found an opportunity to kill one.
The Ugly pilot who was shot down was the chief third ace pilot. Being able to get this title means having a record of shooting down at least 15 aircraft.
The last fighting hero is no worse than Lu Junsheng. Although he didn't shoot down many enemy planes, he had a record of one against fourteen.
In that battle, he fought with fourteen enemy planes for twenty minutes, and eventually shot down and damaged two of them. After parachuting, the Ugly pilot tried to attack him, and the lone hero immediately pulled out his pistol and fought back.
The hero's name was also changed by himself, which means that he is the descendant of the Chinese dragon. Although he is temporarily unfairly treated, he must have the courage and perseverance to survive.
This is why Huang He is so happy. After all, no matter how good the airplane is, someone must pilot it.
The Eighth Route Army had never had any contact with the air force before. He even wanted to use the undercover agents on the preserved fruit side to see if he could instigate a few pilots who were dedicated to serving the country.
After all, the person in charge of money in the Air Force is a bastard, and there are many frustrated pilots to win over.
But now that there are six combat heroes, the foundation of the Air Force is completely intact!
I originally wanted to make a study-abroad version of Du Xianren.
But although his record looks good, it is not his own, and there is no point in copying it, so he took the liberty to choose six combat heroes.
Although the book I wrote is nothing, if there is a chance, the heroes will definitely come to help.
I'm going to have a minor surgery tomorrow and I'll need general anesthesia.
If I recover quickly, I will update normally.
