Inside the headquarters of the North China Front, there was a sudden silence, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Youmo Seizo cast an incredulous look at Tanabe Moritake.
Listening to Tanabe Moritake's words, it seems that he is suspecting that I have Mo Jingsan. Why would he rather kill me by mistake than let him go? Do he want to kill me?
At this moment, Okamura Neji glanced at Arisu Seizo, his eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.
Yusue Seizan's expression was stern, and he looked at Okamura Neji again. The murderous intent in Okamura Neji's eyes had disappeared, replaced by a smile that was superficial but not smiling.
Tanabe Moritake added: "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that as soon as the bombers and fighter jets to supplement the North China Front arrive, we should immediately dispatch to bomb Dagu Town and raze Dagu Town to the ground."
Yusue Seizan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Okamura Neji and Tanabe Moritake were going to kill him.
He said he would rather kill by mistake than let go. Is this what he was talking about?
Can you please finish it all in one go?
However, Okamura Neji’s look just now was too scary. Commander, you don’t really doubt me, right?
Sparks of thought flashed through the air, and Mo Jingsan echoed: "Commander's office, what the chief of staff said makes sense. I suggest borrowing bombers from the Kwantung Army immediately and bombing Dagu Town immediately!"
Compared to Tanabe Moritake, Yumo Seishan is more ruthless and wants to bomb Dagu Town now.
Li Yunlong poses a great threat to the Locust Army and even the North China Front.
Unless this man dies, the officers of the First Army and the North China Front Army will not be able to sleep peacefully.
The Japanese officers felt that Peiping was not safe, and even flying in the air was not safe. There was no safe Japanese military headquarters in North China.
"There's no rush." Okamura Neiji waved his hand, "If the headquarters of the new regiment is in Dagu Town, there's no need to rush."
If all the aircraft of the North China Front had not been destroyed, targets like Dagu Town would have been bombed countless times.
After the Nationalist army retreated to Sichuan, the Japanese army was unable to enter Sichuan, but they continued to send out aircraft to bomb the rear areas of the Nationalist army. Towns and cities were all targeted by Japanese aircraft.
In particular, the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi has caused huge casualties and losses to the Japanese army. Once the North China Front has aircraft, the towns in northwestern Shanxi will become key bombing targets for the Japanese army.
Although Okamura Neji wants to kill Li Yunlong more than anyone else.
But seconding aircraft from the Kwantung Army?
Okamura Neji didn't even have to think about it, Umezu Yoshijiro would definitely not borrow it.
Okamura Neiji said: "As soon as the first batch of planes and two flight teams arrive in Peiping, they will be immediately dispatched to Taiyuan Wusu Airport and will be under the command of Lieutenant General Iwamatsu, commander of the First Army."
"Let the First Army continue to bomb the important targets of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi. I want to see that there is not a single complete house in the towns in northwestern Shanxi!"
"Tell Yoshio Iwamatsu that he doesn't have to worry about the loss of the plane. I will replenish him as much as he loses."
The Eighth Route Army's air defense firepower in northwestern Shanxi is not weak.
But air defense and air defense are all defenses against nine out of ten.
There are so many towns in northwestern Shanxi, and Okamura Neiji doesn't believe that every town has a lot of anti-aircraft firepower.
Even if some planes are shot down, Okamura Neiji can quickly replenish the First Army.
This time, the base camp provided great support to the North China Front aircraft and aerial bombs.
"Hi!"
Tanabe Moritake and Yumo Spirit paused at the same time.
…
Southeast Shanxi.
Liao County.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The commander, chief of staff, and division commander were gathering around the fire to discuss the current situation.
The expressions of the three leaders couldn't help but have a hint of worry.
Nowadays, wars are raging all over the world, and wars are happening everywhere. Dozens of countries and regions, 2 billion people are involved in the war, and the combat area covers tens of millions of square kilometers.
Two victories had just been won on the Chinese battlefield, and news came of the Japanese victory in Southeast Asia.
I don’t know if the US military can defeat the Japanese army in the Pacific?
If the Japanese army is allowed to win, the Chinese nation will be in danger.
However, the leaders still said the same thing. The Chinese nation is experiencing a huge test. Communists should take up and will certainly be able to take on the important task of saving the country and the people!
At this moment, the telegraph soldier walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and gave a military salute.
"Report to the chief, a new telegram!"
"give it to me."
The chief of staff was close. He stood up and gave a military salute, then took the telegram. The telegraph soldier immediately turned around and left.
Then, the chief of staff picked up the telegram and read it.
The content of the telegram is a bit long, covering three pages, but the chief of staff's long military career has long ago developed the ability to read telegrams quickly and with a photographic memory.
After just a few glances, the chief of staff finished reading the telegram.
"What did Li Yunlong say in the telegram?" the chief asked upon seeing this.
The division commander also quickly put down the roasted sweet potato in his hand and looked at the chief of staff who was holding the telegram in his hand.
The chief of staff said: "Li Yunlong said two things in the telegram. One thing is Boss Chen's speculation."
"Boss Chen?"
The leader looked startled, and looked at each other with the teacher, both of whom had a look of surprise in their eyes.
"What did Boss Chen guess?"
A look of curiosity suddenly appeared on the teacher's face.
Regarding this mysterious Boss Chen, when they were in southeastern Shanxi, the leaders wanted to meet this mysterious Boss Chen through Li Yunlong.
In the opinion of the leaders, it would be better for Boss Chen to assist Li Yunlong than directly assist the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
After all, the Eighth Route Army headquarters can mobilize much more resources and troops than the new regiment commander Li Yunlong.
The business will be even bigger. After a few big businesses, the Eighth Route Army will be able to make a lot of money.
For example, in the Hundred Regiment War, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than 50,000 casualties, destroyed thousands of kilometers of roads and railways, and destroyed countless gun towers and bunkers.
If we had done business with the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the Eighth Route Army would have already begun to counterattack the Japanese army in North China.
But he was rejected. Boss Chen only assisted the New Group and only had contact with Li Yunlong.
In the end, the head of the headquarters decided not to have contact with the mysterious Boss Chen, nor did he object to his contact with Li Yunlong, and also ordered those in the Eighth Route Army who knew Boss Chen to strictly keep secrets.
"Boss Chen speculates."
The chief of staff said:
"The Japanese army has made a fortune in Southeast Asia and the domestic financial situation has improved, so the Japanese army has the capital to launch a new wave of large-scale offensive operations in China."
"And in this wave of offensive, the main target of the Japanese army is our Eighth Route Army on the battlefield behind enemy lines."
"Boss Chen reminds our Eighth Route Army to prepare for counter-mopping up as much as possible in advance."
"The sweep is expected to start from March to May."
Telegrams are generally streamlined, trying to use the least words to express more content, so the content of the telegram cannot be so long.
In order to make it easier for the chief and division commanders to understand and understand, the chief of staff speaks more.
The commander narrowed his eyes: "Launch a large-scale mopping up offensive against our Eighth Route Army?"
Although this was just Boss Chen's speculation, the chief and division commander looked extremely serious.
The Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi is mainly the main force of the 129th Division, including the Taihang Military Region and Taiyue Military Region, as well as the Southern Hebei Military Region, which is also affiliated with the 129th Division.
At present, the main force of the 129th Division has grown to more than 200,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are not bad, and the ammunition reserves are sufficient. Together with the militia, the strength has reached 400,000 people.
Although the main force of the 129th Division went north to attack Yangquan and Taiyuan twice in the past year, they did not fight many battles.
Compared with the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, the performance of the 129th Division in the past year is indeed inferior. However, the 129th Division has been accumulating strength, strengthening its troops, recruiting troops, and preparing for a major counterattack in the future.
This is also determined by the business brought by Boss Chen.
If the New Regiment wants to develop and grow, and if the Eighth Route Army wants to develop and grow, Li Yunlong must constantly lead the New Regiment to fight, and win the battles.
One advantage of this is that the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle has attracted the hatred of the Japanese army in North China, allowing the 129th Division to have sufficient time to accumulate food and weapons and ammunition and other combat supplies, as well as expand its troops.
The fact is that the main force of the 129th Division has expanded to more than 200,000 people, and there are more than 10 light artillery regiments. However, the Japanese intelligence department only knows that the 129th Division only has more than 100,000 people.
When the big counterattack comes, the 129th Division will definitely give the Japanese army a big surprise.
After thinking for a moment, the leader looked at the teacher, and then asked: "Sir, what do you think?"
"What do I think?" The teacher smiled slightly and joked, "Of course I lie down and watch."
After a pause, the division commander said sternly: "Since Li Yunlong sent this telegram to our headquarters, it means that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also think that Boss Chen's analysis is reasonable. My opinion is that I would rather believe it than not. By the time the Japanese army really starts mopping up, it will be too late for all military regions to make preparations."
"The division commander's view is the same as mine." The chief of staff also nodded, "Whether the Japanese army is mopping up or not, our major military regions must prepare for counter-mopping up in advance."
The leader nodded and said: "If the Japanese army wants to launch a raid, there will still be at least more than two months before the Japanese army launches a raid. There is no rush on this matter. Let's study it slowly."
Then, the chief looked at the chief of staff and asked, "What did Li Yunlong say about the second thing?"
The chief of staff suddenly smiled: "The second thing is that Li Yunlong congratulates us on getting rich!"
Speaking of this, the chief and division commander were no longer sleepy. Not only were they not sleepy, they were also refreshed.
"This kid Li Yunlong." The division commander's eyes were as bright as light bulbs and he asked with a smile: "Is he ready to hand over weapons and ammunition?"
All the chiefs knew that Li Yunlong had made a fortune in northwest Shanxi, but the specific amount was not yet known to the chiefs.
This time Boss Chen came to Dagu Town, and the two parties discussed some matters about receiving goods, and happened to send a telegram to the headquarters, so Li Yunlong sent the number of weapons and ammunition to be handed over to the headquarters.
"Haha, you are right, division commander." The chief of staff picked up the telegram and read: "Infantry equipment for 30,000 people, 40 tanks and 28 armored vehicles, 60 75mm mountain guns, 12 105mm howitzers, 432 Jiefang brand cars, cavalry equipment for 1,500 men, and 100 tons of fuel!"
As the chief of staff read down the list of weapons and ammunition handed over by Li Yunlong one by one.
The smiles on the faces of the chief and division commander grew stronger.
