The impact of Liu Yu's little butterfly flapping its wings has gradually appeared. The weapons his troops captured after several battles and the Japanese equipment rewarded by the system were all given to the 115th Division except for some. The death of his third uncle brought about earth-shaking changes in the strength of the 129th Division, which also led to the development of other Eighth Route Army units.
Because Liu Shuai will take the initiative to send some of the equipment to the headquarters after receiving it.
Now, all the forces in North China are wary of, and even afraid of, the Eighth Route Army.
After the "July Incident", the Nationalist Army changed from its original active attack to encirclement and blockade. It wanted to restrict the economic development of the base area and at the same time prohibited any supplies from flowing into our party's base area, hoping to starve the Eighth Route Army to death.
The Japanese army also focused its attention on the Eighth Route Army. The troops on the Zhongtiao Mountain and Yellow River lines that were originally confronting the National Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army were more or less transferred to the Taihang Mountains.
Yan Xishan was the most obedient. When he saw that a fierce tiger appeared beside him, he immediately gave up. Without waiting for our party members to negotiate, he himself sent a secret message to clarify, throwing the blame on the principal. At the same time, He also said that he would send 500,000 oceans as compensation.
On the Chongqing side, after negotiating with Mr. Wu, agreeing on the boundary between the two sides and promising not to fight each other again, they set their sights on the New Fourth Army in the south.
If we cannot defeat the Eighth Route Army, can we also defeat the New Fourth Army?
The most important thing is that our party restored Commander Ye's party membership, which made the principal feel like he was cheated.
He had treated Commander Ye with all his heart before, but now he was said to be playing a trick on him!
In anger, he instructed He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi to kill the New Fourth Army.
When Bai Chongxi heard this, he who had no dealings with Lao Jiang immediately agreed, and then began to think of a way.
In order to avoid a disastrous defeat like that of Hu Zongnan and Zhu Huaibing, Bai Chongxi believed that it would definitely not work to mobilize the army for encirclement and suppression with great fanfare. The terrain in the Yunling area was not much better than that of the Taihang Mountains, so he might let the New Fourth Army break through. It would be better to find a way to mobilize the New Fourth Army out of the base area and encircle and ambush them halfway.
Then, together with He Yingqin, he called the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army and asked the commander-in-chief to transfer the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army south of the Yellow River to the north of the Yellow River and reduce the total strength to 100,000.
This incident happened exactly one month after Liu Yu disappeared.
. . . . . .
Let’s look at what Liu Yu did this month.
The 18 members of the special force set off from Ziyun Mountain on June 28 and arrived outside Baoding on July 14.
However, once they arrived in Baoding, they found that the entire city was under martial law and they could not enter without a good citizen certificate.
So Liu Yu gave them a "side" mission, asking them to raid a Japanese stronghold at night and find out the reason for the martial law in Baoding.
At 1 o'clock in the morning that night, 18 people invaded a stronghold. There were more than 50 people inside, about 20 Japs, and the rest were all puppet troops.
The special operations team did not play tricks this time. Instead, at the suggestion of an old soldier, they asked Geng Wanzi to sneak in and add some ingredients to them while they were cooking dinner in the stronghold, and then finished cooking in the middle of the night while the Japanese were sleeping. When the pig was dead, the stronghold was taken without firing a shot.
One person was left alive, and after questioning, we found out that it was Gen Sugiyama, commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, who came to Baoding for an inspection.
Liu Yu wanted to assassinate the planner of the Japanese invasion of China, but gave up after thinking about it.
First of all, this kind of assassination cannot be successful by just having a hot head. You must have enough information, such as the opponent's living habits, travel patterns, etc. These conditions cannot be completed without enough time.
There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with back at the base area now, so he doesn't have that much time to spend here.
Another thing is that the old devil Sugiyama Gen and the idiot Hideki Kaitojo planned the Pacific War a few years later, which was very important to Liu Yu's future plans.
In this regard, all I can say is to spare his life first.
Inside the stronghold, Liu Yu ate the seized Japanese cans and drank a few sips of Japanese sake.
As for this sake, it is actually similar to our rice wine mixed with a lot of water. It has a very bland taste. For a wine worm like Liu Yu, it is just for quenching thirst.
This is still a relatively good type of sake, and the inferior ones are basically sour.
The Japanese canned food is not that good either. The meat and drainage are all twisted in together, and it has a strange smell when you eat it.
After taking a few bites, Liu Yu stopped eating and handed the can in his hand to Ye Fei beside him. He ate quite deliciously.
He took out his own water bottle and took a sip. He was really not used to drinking sake from the island country.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Liu Yu summoned them to him and said, "Baoding City is not easy to enter now, and the whole city is under martial law. If you go in and cause trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out afterwards. You guys If you have any ideas, tell me."
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Zhang Quan raised his hand and said, "How about we put on the Japanese military uniforms and go to Baoding Airport to have a look? I can speak Japanese, so I can sneak in with everyone."
Everyone looked at each other again, and then looked at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu smiled: "I will help you make an idea this time. You must learn to make your own decisions in the future. You can go to the airport, but you must conduct an investigation in advance. Taking people there directly will lead to death, even if you It’s no use knowing Japanese, the Japanese are not fools.”
"In this way, you two, Ma Chao and Ye Fei, have good eyes. You can go to the commanding heights outside the airport to observe and determine the pattern of the Japs' night patrols. Zhang Quan, you understand Japanese and stay at the stronghold during the day in case the Japs call. Come here, it’s easier to deal with it, and go to a disguised camp near the airport entrance at night to eavesdrop on the little devil’s passwords.”
"Wanzi, if you are good at qinggong, then sneak into the airport at night, find out the locations of their warehouses, headquarters, pilot dormitories and other important facilities, and then mark them on the drawings. Lin Kai, you are responsible for preparing weapons and equipment. Look See what can be used. The remaining people will provide support from the outside. If Zhang Quan and the others are discovered, provide timely cover and support."
"After you have completed your investigation, you can then decide whether to use infiltration blasting or long-range strikes. Sneak blasting requires a large amount of explosives, and I will help you make time bombs at that time. For long-range strikes, use mortars, which happen to be available in the stronghold. Two Japanese-made 90mm mortars are enough."
With Liu Yu's help in planning, everyone's ideas became clear and they started taking action directly.
Geng Wanzi put on his casual clothes and set off directly. As for Ma Chao and Ye Fei, they had to wait until daytime to find the commanding heights around the airport before they could move.
In the next two days, everyone acted independently, and on the third day, they finally collected all the information.
The result was not optimistic. Because Sugiyama Yuan arrived by plane, Baoding Airport was also heavily guarded. Passwords were changed three times a day, and the military police patrol interval was only 30 minutes.
Fortunately, after Zhang Quan overheard the password on the first day, Liu Yu did not rush to take action, but let Zhang Quan continue to lurk. If he hurriedly brought people there, the Japanese would definitely be wary when they heard the "expired" command. Most of the 18 people could not speak Japanese, and they would definitely show their flaws in the panic.
Therefore, the only option is long-range strike.
On the third night, that is, at 11 o'clock in the evening on the 17th, Liu Yu and others took the two captured mortars and 20 rounds of artillery shells to a location about 3 kilometers north of the airport.
The Japanese attach great importance to the defense of the airport. The guard post is placed 2 kilometers away, so mortars must be set up at the extreme distance of 3 kilometers so that they can have time to escape after the attack.
And the reason why it is in the north is also a cover, because when the time comes, their retreat will definitely be to the west, and if the mortars left behind are in the north, it will just give the little devils the illusion that they are retreating north.
The Japs' Type 94 90mm mortar has good performance, with a range of 3,800 meters. According to Geng Wanzi's investigation, the maximum range of 3 kilometers is just enough to reach the ammunition depot inside the airport and the Japs pilots' dormitories.
"Two mortars, one for the ammunition depot and one for the dormitory. We aim according to the coordinates and fire 10 rounds rapidly. After the attack, we will withdraw. Do you understand?" After seeing them setting up the mortars, Liu Yu said.
"But in the middle of the night, if you don't fire calibrated bombs, it will be difficult to hit!" It was Lin Kai who operated one of the mortars. He said with confusion after listening to Liu Yu's order.
Liu Yu snorted coldly: "By the time you set the time, the Japs have already caught up with them on motorcycles! The airport is the lifeblood of the little Japs. If something goes wrong here, the Japs inside will have to commit seppuku. Do you think they dare to neglect it?" I have said that the purpose of this time is to familiarize you with the nature of the special forces. Whether the mission is completed is not that important. It is just an airport. If it fails this time, the worst thing is that you will wait until you become a real special forces to bomb it again! "
Hearing this, the two gunners no longer hesitated, carefully calculated the ballistic trajectory, adjusted the muzzle, and then opened the shell box.
Then all 10 shells were fired by them within 20 seconds.
After the last shell was fired, Liu Yu directly ordered a retreat.
There were successive explosions coming from the airport behind me.
The first few sounds were just the sounds of mortars. Just when everyone began to feel disappointed, there was another violent explosion.
Everyone stopped and looked back at the huge fire cloud rising over there.
Listening to the notification sound coming from the system in his mind, Liu Yu smiled: "Luckily, the last shot caused a fatal explosion."
Everyone laughed out loud.
Liu Yu said again: "Let's go back to the base! Next time there is a mission like this, try to sneak in and blow up the entire airport!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and led the people to rush towards the west.
As expected by Liu Yu, after the explosion of the ammunition depot at the airport, the Japanese soldiers of a regiment stationed at the airport went crazy. More than 3,000 people rushed out at once and found two mortars on the north side of the airport. After the cannon, everyone rushed north with a crash.
According to the system prompts, Liu Yu's 20 rounds plus the final explosion destroyed a total of 6 Type 97 fighter jets, killing 197 Japs, including 17 pilots, and of course more were injured. However, the system did not prompt. If any of them died, the system would still reward them later.
2 cannons and 10 rounds of shells brought Liu Yu 1520 points in income. However, there was no reward for the aircraft. After asking the system, I learned that the special equipment of the aircraft would only be rewarded if it was shot down.
Including warships, if Liu Yu can sink the Yamato in the future, the system can also reward him with a Yamato.
But I just thought about it for the time being. The plot in the anti-Japanese drama about sending a few people with a few explosive bags to sink the Izumo cruiser can only be said to be unbelievable.
Don't think that the boat will sink just because there is a hole in the bottom. Large warships have watertight compartments, not those small sampans used by fishermen! You have three or two explosive bags, and 50 kilograms of explosives will at most break a hole in the bottom of their boat. If you want to blow it up and sink it, just dream on it!
In the original time and space, the National Army launched two attacks on the Izumo. This 30-year-old ship was hit by a torpedo one after another, but the two mines did not sink it, which shows the warship's durability.
Liu Yu didn't have too much trouble with the fact that he didn't get any rewards for blowing up the planes on the ground. The Type 97 fighter jet of the little devil is not as useful as the Hawker-3 type they are currently using as a training aircraft. If the Falcon appears in the future Type, Type Zero, etc., that's okay.
