The Japanese army in North China had now lost air supremacy, and Xie Tian was supplemented by fighter planes from the United States, so that they could arrange their troops so unscrupulously.
In Xie Tian's eyes, although the Japanese North China Front had three or four times more troops than the People's Liberation Army, their front was too long and their troops were scattered throughout North China. They seemed powerful but were actually vulnerable.
Concentrate superior forces to defeat them one by one, leaving open areas for the three parties to compete for, consuming each other's combat power. Xie Tian only focuses on how many effective forces can be killed by the Japanese. As for the territory, during the melee, that is all bullshit. It doesn't matter how big the territory is occupied. Immediate effect.
It takes several months for food to grow before it can be harvested, and it takes more than ten years for a baby to pick up a sword and gun. As for taxes, there is no way to mention it, unless it is a barbaric plunder.
Only the Japanese can do this.
Although land is a war resource, it requires a period of warming to produce benefits. Thank God, I don't have time to wait.
In one more year, the little devil will surrender. He has bullied us enough. Can he go home if he raises the white flag?
Just have big fucking dreams.
If there is no white flag, I will give you a piece of white cloth to cover it with when you go back.
Several people gathered around the sand table to discuss the details of the battle and study various possible situations, and the battle plan became more and more complete.
It would take several days for the troops to assemble and prepare for the battle. Before the battle officially began, a few plates of hors d'oeuvres were served.
Tianjin, Haiguang Temple, Japanese Army North China Garrison Headquarters.
The report published in the newspaper about the Chongqing government's public trial of the traitor Yoshiko Kawashima and the commander of the Japanese 1st Air Force Nobunan Aoi became the last straw for Okamura Neiji. Before finishing the report, Okamura Neiji spurted a mouthful of old blood. The newspaper fell to the ground with a thud.
When the attendant heard the movement in the office, he opened the door carefully and looked around. When he saw Neji Okamura vomiting blood and lying on the floor convulsing, he was so frightened that he hurriedly called for help.
Upon hearing the news, the Japanese military doctor in the headquarters ran into Neji Okamura's office with a first-aid kit. After diagnosis, the old man had suffered a stroke.
After several days of rescue, Neji Okamura finally walked around the gate of hell and came back. However, he suffered from a crooked mouth, eyes, and hemiplegia. He was in a wheelchair and had to be attended to even when eating and defecating.
In view of Okamura Neiji's current situation, the Army Headquarters finally stopped quarreling and appointed Yamada Otsuzo, commander-in-chief of the Central China Expeditionary Army, to concurrently serve as commander-in-chief of the North China Army. Okamura Neiji returned to China to recuperate.
After receiving the order from the Army Headquarters, Neji Okamura, who was sitting in a wheelchair, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether he was willing to do so, he could finally escape from China, a place he never wanted to come to again.
Neji Okamura moved his hands feebly and ordered the attendant: "Push me to the courtyard to bask in the sun."
Okamura Neji hasn't left the house for almost ten days, and sunlight has become a luxury for him.
The attendant pushed Okamura Neji out of the dormitory and called several people to carry Okamura Neji downstairs together with the wheelchair.
Seeing Neji Okamura come out, many people came out of various rooms in the headquarters to greet Neji Okamura.
This old guy has a high prestige among the Japanese army, especially the three-guang policy he implemented, which is regarded by the Japanese army as a manual for fighting against China.
Burn them all, kill them all, rob them all.
Couldn't a crazy person come up with such an inhumane policy?
Only a crazy person can gain respect among the Japanese, an already sick nation. The same is true for Hitler in Germany.
Okamura Neiji is no longer able to deal with these people. Going out for a walk today can be regarded as saying goodbye to these people from the North China Front Army Headquarters.
According to the arrangements of the Army Headquarters, the plane to pick him up will arrive at Dongjuzi Airport this evening. Yamada Otsuzo has already taken a train from Shanghai and will arrive in Tianjin soon.
For Neji Okamura, everything was over. No matter how the army headquarters treated him after returning home, it meant nothing to him.
At this moment, the roar of aircraft engines came from the sky.
The Japanese soldiers in the courtyard looked up to the sky, not at all nervous.
According to the dispatch of the Army Headquarters, the 2nd Air Force of the Kwantung Army will be assigned to the Japanese North China Army to make up for the fighter planes damaged by Okamura Neji's sneak attack on Taiyuan. This is also to support Yamada Otsuzo's concurrent appointment as the commander of the North China Army.
The Chinese army does not have such a large fleet, so these Japanese troops were not aware of the danger at all. They were just a little surprised how the 2nd Air Force came to Tianjin so quickly.
The Japanese soldiers in the yard looked up at the densely packed aircraft flying from the sky, and felt a little more at ease in their hearts.
Aircraft and tanks are the sharp weapons used by the Japanese army to crush the Chinese army.
At this time, a staff officer who was holding a telescope for observation suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw the fleet of aircraft flying closer and closer in the sky. He adjusted the focus desperately, and when he saw it clearly, he was stunned and suddenly shouted in horror: "It's not us. The aircraft are American P40 and B17."
This is not the early stage of the war. The Japanese army no longer has US military equipment, especially aircraft.
At this time, Xie Tian, who was driving a B-17 in the sky, issued a combat order with a sinister smile on his face: "Attention, all formations, lock your designated targets and launch attacks."
Following Xie Tian's order, more than a dozen battle formations rushed towards their designated bombing targets like wasps that exploded their nests. Xie Tian smiled coldly and switched the radio station to the Japanese channel and shouted: "Gangcun Ning" You old bastard, I have sent you a courier, please come out and receive it quickly."
"Hoot", "hoo", two huge cluster bombs were released from the bomb bay of the B-17 bomber, and with a harsh whistling sound, they fell towards the Japanese North China Garrison Headquarters at Kaiguang Temple where Neji Okamura was. .
I can't help but give you two cluster bombs at once.
Seeing the huge bomb falling from the belly of the B-17, Neji Okamura shouted in horror: "It's Xie Baoqing!!! It's Xie Baoqing!!!"
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...
Continuous explosions exploded in the compound of the Japanese North China Garrison Army Headquarters at Haiguang Temple, and the entire compound was instantly submerged in the flames of the explosion.
Almost at the same time, each flight formation also found the target and dropped bombs.
Dongjuzi Airport, Japanese Concession, Haiguang Temple Barracks, and Duliujia River Railway Bridge were all submerged in the indiscriminate bombardment of aerial bombs.
The people in Tianjin were stunned by the violent explosions. They looked in disbelief at the fighter jets that continued to dive bomb and strafe in the sky.
Someone came to fight the Japanese?
Is our team going to fight back?
Some people couldn't help but beat their feet and cry out in pain, shouting at the dive-bombing planes in the sky: "Kill these idiots and don't let any of them go."
On the platform on the top floor of Quanyechang, the second-year high school boy also burst into tears and excitedly grabbed the radio and shouted: "Boss, I finally saw you. There are a few more targets we have just found. I will tell you right away." …”
