Beiping.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
"Report!"
The voice of Colonel Matsui, head of the Peking Special High School Course and head of the Peking Secret Service, sounded outside the door.
"Come in!"
Okamura Neji's voice sounded coldly from inside the house.
Matsui walked quickly into the house and reported to Okamura Ningtsu: "Commander, Ohashi Changan went to that barbecue restaurant again last night, and came out two hours later... When he came out, he brought a box with him. .”
A slight chill suddenly appeared in Okamura Neji's eyes, was he so impatient?
Fortunately, he valued Chongqiao Changan so much and planned to focus on training him, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a spy.
After the combat meeting yesterday, because the 2nd Flying Division was going to bomb Shanxi Beiba Road Airport, all personnel in the headquarters were not allowed to leave.
Okamura Neiji thought that if Ohashi Changan had spread the information about the bombing in advance, he would have lost more than 4 aircraft and damaged 2 aircraft.
Obviously, although Ohashi Changan did go to the barbecue restaurant to deliver information, the content of the information delivered was far from what Okamura thought.
Principal Chang, who is far away in Shuangqing City, is very concerned about the Japanese army massing heavy troops to raid northwest Shanxi.
In Principal Chang's view, since Li Yunlong is such a powerful general that I cannot use him, it would be best for the Japanese to completely eliminate him.
Otherwise, when the Japanese devils are driven away in the future, Li Yunlong and his troops will definitely be the top enemy of the national army.
Therefore, Principal Chang ordered the military commander to collect intelligence about the Japanese army's raids in northwestern Shanxi at all costs.
Daqiao Changan did not dare to reveal the core secrets. He only gave the military commander the progress of the Japanese army's material mobilization and troop concentration, as well as the approximate date of the raid, and earned more than twenty small yellow croakers.
This information was quickly delivered to Principal Chang's desk.
Of course, it is impossible for Principal Chang to give this information to the Eighth Route Army. He hopes that the Japanese army will eliminate the country's number one enemy in the future.
Then, Okamura Neiji looked at Matsui Yuichi: "Matsui-kun, immediately monitor Ohashi Changan's every move and wait for my arrest order!"
With Matsui's level, he was not qualified to know the fishing plan personally formulated by Okamura Neji.
Not many people in the headquarters knew about this plan. Only Neji Okamura, Moritake Tanabe and Deputy Chief of Staff Arisue Seizo knew about it. Even the other division commanders did not know about this plan.
Now just wait to catch the fish, and then immediately capture the bridge Changan.
Okamura Neiji knew that there was a particularly cruel torture method in ancient China - Ling Chi, which is also known as "death by a thousand cuts" among the people, in which the flesh of a person is cut off one by one to death.
He was ready to let Daqiao Changan taste the taste of being executed by Lingchi.
Because some petty profiteers betrayed the Japanese Empire, resulting in the death of an imperial lieutenant general, it would not be an exaggeration to use more cruel torture.
Ohashi Changan's family members in Japan cannot be spared either.
"Hi!"
Sensing Okamura Neji's cold murderous intent, Matsui'an expression became stern, he clicked his feet and lowered his head before turning around and walking out.
After Matsui Man left, Okamura Neji picked up the phone and put it to his ear: "Moxi Moxi..."
…
Northwest Shanxi.
Dagu Town.
After the houses in Zhaojiayu were bombed, the headquarters of the new regiment temporarily moved to Dagu Town, where the first battalion was based.
Although the new regiment captured three county towns in the defense zone, they did not regard the county towns as the focus of defense.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army has almost always been invincible when attacking county towns.
The policy of the Eighth Route Army has always been to save people and lost land, and just take back the county seat after it is lost.
At the 1st Battalion Headquarters, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou were discussing the combat plan. 1st Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao and several combat staff were also listening.
Although Li Yunlong decided to fight this battle, how to fight this battle has not yet been finalized.
Li Yunlong knocked on the table and said: "This time labor and management made a miscalculation. The old devil Okamura Neji is much more difficult to deal with than Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu. I thought the little devil would put the plane in Datong and Taiyuan, I didn’t expect planes to take off directly from Peiping to bomb us. The caves we dug and the artillery, mountain cannon and shells we hid will not be effective in this battle.”
At first, news came from northern Shanxi that the Japanese were indeed rebuilding Datong Airport, and that Captain Duan Peng of Lijian personally led the reconnaissance.
However, the Japanese had left Datong Airport halfway repaired. By then, the tunnels had been dug and the artillery, mountain cannon and shells had been hidden.
Li Yunlong cursed: "This old devil Okamura made a fool of himself. It really makes the labor and management angry."
Of course, what Captain Li was really angry about was not because he was tricked by Neji Okamura.
What made him angry was that one person couldn't kill all the planes used by the Japanese to raid northwestern Shanxi.
He boasted in front of Ding Wei and Kong Jie that Haikou would be able to kill the Japanese plane.
Zhao Gang continued Li Yunlong's words with a solemn tone: "The common people in the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment's defense area are currently ready to cross the river. If the Japanese planes cannot be killed, the Japanese planes will be able to bomb the ferries along the Yellow River unscrupulously. Once the common people cannot After crossing the Yellow River, when the Japs enter the base area, what awaits the common people is a massacre."
By then, the Eighth Route Army in northern Shaanxi will be there to support and protect the people. After the people cross the river, it will be difficult for the Japanese to continue crossing the river to pursue them.
After the Japanese invaded Shanxi, they tried to cross the Yellow River to attack Shaanxi, but they failed without exception.
After crossing the Yellow River, the logistics supplies could not keep up, and there was only a dead end waiting for the Japanese.
After a pause, Zhao Gang emphasized: "We must kill the Japanese plane to ensure that the people in the base area can cross the river smoothly!"
Xing Zhiguo squinted his eyes with a sad expression: "The key to the problem now is that the Japanese plane is at Peiping Airport, which is more than 400 kilometers away from us. Should we send the Sword Squadron to blow up the plane?"
"This is also a way, but sending the Sword Squadron to Peking to blow up the airport is too risky. Those guys from the Sword Squadron may not be able to come back alive." Wang De said kindly.
"That's true..."
Xing Zhiguo nodded and frowned. The Sharp Sword Squadron was too important to the New Regiment. Then he said:
"Didn't we get some fake cannons? We will use these fake cannons to lure the Japanese into being deceived. The air defense battalion and the machine gun battalion will be the main force, gathering the anti-aircraft firepower of the entire regiment to shoot down the Japanese planes!"
Li Yunlong said: "It's good if this method can shoot down half of the Japanese planes. What if the other half of the planes go to blow up the ferry? And there is no guarantee that it will attract the Japanese planes."
Building fake cannons was just one of Li Yunlong's preparations. Li Yunlong didn't have high expectations for whether it would work.
If the air support, heavy artillery battalion and two tank battalions are the new group's king bomb, then this fake artillery position is a small bomb. It is better to have a bomb in hand than no bomb at all.
Zhang Dabiao on the side said tentatively: "If you ask me, let's just use Boss Chen's air support to blow up the Peking Airport. Not only can we blow up the planes, but we can also blow up the runways and airport facilities. If you're lucky, you can blow up the enemy's oil depot and ammunition depot."
"This method is good, but it is also difficult!"
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao:
"The hundreds of kilometers around Peiping are occupied by Japs. The Japs must have set up lookout posts around Peiping. Once Boss Chen's plane appears near Peiping, the Japs will know in advance, and Jaap fighter jets will definitely fight against it. , but the Japanese bombers and fighter jets will probably run away."
Everyone suddenly fell into silence and thinking. The original plan was disrupted, and the plan could no longer keep up with the changes.
However, Li Yunlong glanced at everyone confidently and said in a confident tone: "Don't be so frustrated, we, Lao Li, have already thought of a way to kill the Japanese plane."
"any solution?"
Everyone looked at Li Yunlong, their eyes lighting up like light bulbs.
Only then did everyone realize who they were in front of them. It was Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment. In terms of war ideas, it was estimated that the few people present together could catch up with him.
"Lao Li, you kid, stop showing off and tell everyone what you can do."
Zhao Gang's tone can't wait.
"It's easy!"
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes: "Since the Japanese are fishing for our fish, we can also fish for the Japanese!"
"Catch the devil's fish?"
"How to fish?"
The former question was asked by Xing Zhiguo, and the latter question was asked by Wang Dehou.
"Hey hey hey..."
Captain Li smiled confidently:
"If our two tank battalions appear on the Xinzhou battlefield and kill indiscriminately, the Japanese planes will definitely send reinforcements like crazy."
"At this time, if our air support arrives just in time, the Japanese planes will definitely attack Boss Chen's plane, and then Boss Chen's fighter jets will shoot down all the Japanese planes."
"Moreover, the aerial bombs of Boss Chen's plane can also cause huge damage to the Japanese ground troops."
Boss Chen told Li Yunlong that once his plane gets involved with the Japanese plane, he will fight to the death. Even if he chases the Japanese plane to the airport, he will kill it.
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
An air support played two roles. The aerial cannons it carried not only shot down the Japanese aircraft, but also carried aerial bombs that caused a lot of damage to the Japanese ground troops.
It's like killing two birds with one stone!
Zhao Gang said: "This method is very good, but are you sure? It seems very tempting to do this. It can not only kill the Japanese planes, but also kill a large number of Japanese ground troops. However, the two tank battalions responsible for acting as bait are in danger. If Boss Chen’s plane doesn’t arrive in time and the tank is blown up by a Japanese aerial bomb, Boss Chen can reimburse us, but the tank soldiers who have been trained with great difficulty will have to answer for everything if something goes wrong.”
Zhao Gang still hesitated and gave Li Yunlong some advice.
Even with the intelligence and air support provided by Boss Chen, this battle still involves a lot of gambling.
