"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate to bomb Tokyo, Japan, and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier!"
"Extra, extra, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to bomb Tokyo, Japan, and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier!"
"..."
Early the next morning, crisp sounds appeared on the streets of the mountain city.
Newsboys waved copies of Xinhua Daily in their hands and shouted loudly.
on the street.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses, a black imitation silk gown, a top hat, and cloth shoes.
He stopped and listened carefully for a while, then quickly walked to the newsboy and said, "Little brother, which newspaper are you selling?"
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to bomb Tokyo, Japan and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier?
You're not bragging, right?
The more famous newspapers and media currently include "Xinhua Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Shen Shen" and "Joongang Daily", etc.
However, there are also some miscellaneous media outlets that report some completely unfounded things.
For example, if a battle is lost at the front, these media will report that it is a victory, reporting good news but not bad news.
It goes without saying who controls these media.
"Sir, we are Xinhua Daily. Do you want a copy?"
The newsboy answered in a clear voice.
“Xinhua Daily?”
"Give me one."
Hearing that it was Xinhua Daily, the middle-aged man paid without hesitation and took a telegram from the newsboy.
The most credible media at the moment is Xinhua Daily. More than a month ago, the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale offensive in Shanxi and annihilated more than 130,000 Japanese troops.
Every time, Xinhua Daily was the first to report the news of victory.
This middle-aged man is a primary school teacher in Shancheng and has long been a loyal fan of Xinhua Daily.
The middle-aged man quickly picked up the newspaper and read it.
What caught my eye were the big words on the first page of the headline: Tokyo is Burning!
Next to it is a slightly smaller line of words: The brave air force of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party made a great move in conquering Japan, and four hundred tons of aerial bombs broke the enemy's courage!
Just reading this headline and the words next to it can already make the middle-aged man's blood boil and his scalp numb.
The entire front page of Xinhua Daily reported the incident.
Not only the story of the bombing, but also pictures of the bombing of Tokyo and the bombing of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.
There are pictures and there is truth.
Yesterday, the headquarters had arranged for transport planes to transport some of the films taken about the bombing of Tokyo and the bombing of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku to Yamashiro.
The staff of the Eighth Route Army Office and the "Xinhua Daily" were busy all night, and finally in the early morning, the first batch of "Xinhua Daily" news reports reporting on the bombing of the Japanese mainland were published.
Of course, some details of the bombing will definitely not be revealed in the newspapers.
but.
"Xinhua Daily" did not conceal the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, nor did it exaggerate the results. It was fully consistent with the real-time and factual nature of the news reports.
This is one of the reasons why Xinhua Daily has gained so many fans in this era.
"China can be saved!"
"China can be saved!"
"China will not die!"
"..."
After reading the headline news report in Xinhua Daily, the primary school teacher couldn't help shouting loudly, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.
It started when the National Government moved the capital from Jinling to the mountain city.
The mountain city was bombed by Japanese planes just across the mountain.
The people of the entire mountain city have been shrouded in the shadow of war and national subjugation in recent years.
However, the Eighth Route Army's consecutive victories and its ability to bomb the Japanese mainland gave this teacher hope.
The teacher walked quickly to the elementary school. Today he had to teach his students a lesson.
The name is "Tokyo Burning"!
At this time, several newsboys selling newspapers to "Xinhua Daily" were surrounded by people buying newspapers.
"Well done!"
"Blow up his turtle son!"
"The Eighth Route Army was still more vicious in fighting the Japanese!"
"It's the command of General Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army again. To kill the Japanese, it depends on General Li Yunlong!"
"..."
The crowd spoke in Shancheng dialect, and they were discussing excitedly with each other.
The news that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to dispatch bombers to Japan, bombard Tokyo and blow up the aircraft carrier Shokaku, spread quickly through the mountain cities like a hurricane.
It's like dropping a heavy bomb on a calm lake, causing huge waves.
Everyone was running on the streets to tell each other about this victory. Within an hour, almost all the people in the mountain town knew about it.
People set off firecrackers one after another and took to the streets to celebrate, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
At noon, other newspapers and media also published the news of the victory.
"Declaration": The success of the Chinese Air Force's second expedition to Japan proves that China is very powerful and cannot be defeated by Japan!
"Ta Kung Pao": The enemy country refused to listen to the admonishment, and the air force went on a second expedition to Japan, bringing 400 tons of bombs to show China's military might!
The National Army's "Central Daily News": The Chinese air force can come and go freely, which shows that Japan's air defense is unreliable, and the Japanese will have no peace in the future!
The Eighth Route Army's "Border Area Daily": Breaking through the sky of thousands of miles, carrying forward the spirit of the Long March, and completing the glorious mission, Captain Condor marches to the island country!
Associated Press: Countries that love war and massacre will eventually bear the wrath of war!
…
At this time, the 4th Air Group had not announced its surrender to the Communist Party.
Principal Chang was very happy after reading Xinhua Daily. He directly ordered a commendation telegram to be sent to the Eighth Route Army and the 4th Aviation Group, and also ordered his subordinates to send Li Yunlong a general's uniform.
Although Li Yunlong doesn't know how to wear it and Principal Chang doesn't want to give it to him, Principal Chang has to give it to him. This is his attitude as the chairman of the committee.
soon.
Principal Chang also ordered the Eighth Route Army to dispatch air force units to deal with the Japanese aviation units in central China.
During this period, the Japanese army bombed the rear areas of the southwest Kuomintang-controlled areas with increasing frequency.
It seemed that the harder the Eighth Route Army beat the Japanese in North China, the more the Japanese took out their anger on the Chinese army.
At this time, apparently the Eighth Route Army still belonged to the National Army's order of battle.
Principal Chang thought that since the Eighth Route Army's air force had the strength to kill the North China Front Army's aviation unit and the expedition to Japan, there was a high probability that it would also have the strength to kill the Japanese aviation unit in Central China.
If the Eighth Route Army refuses to carry out the order, the Eighth Route Army will be charged with disobeying orders and sabotaging the war of resistance.
The recent continuous victories of the Eighth Route Army have increased the prestige of the Communist Party in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, making Principal Chang feel a crisis.
For Principal Chang, the rise of the Eighth Route Army was no less terrifying than the Japanese army occupying half of China.
And if the Eighth Route Army dispatched its air force to successfully raid the Japanese Army's Central China Airport.
Then the "Central Daily News" can publish that it was his Principal Chang who gave the order to the Eighth Route Army. He successfully picked a wave of peaches and let the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas know that he, Principal Chang, is the top leader in China.
To say the least, if the Eighth Route Army Air Force failed to launch a surprise attack, both the Japanese and Japanese aviation units would suffer losses.
That's also excellent.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
Principal Chang mentally gave himself a perfect score for this operation.
…
Luliang Mountain.
Xing County.
The headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
At this time, several divisions of the Jinsui Army had withdrawn to northern Shaanxi.
Half of the troops are still in Luliang Mountain, including Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment.
These troops are also ready to retreat.
What Yan Xishan thought was that if the Eighth Route Army attacked the Shanxi-Sui Army, some of its troops would be left to resist and the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army could cross the river.
However, as the Eighth Route Army grew stronger, several regiments of the Jinsui Army directly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.
This made Yan Xishan very angry.
As Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong got closer, Yan Xishan placed two combat staff beside him to watch.
After the last battle of Zhengtai, Li Yunlong sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei, inviting Chu Yunfei to meet in Taiyuan.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Yunfei did not go to Taiyuan.
At this time, Chu Yunfei was in the war room, reviewing the last Battle of Shota.
At the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, the Eighth Route Army killed and captured 130,000 Japanese troops and tens of thousands of puppet troops.
Chu Yunfei, who had fought with the Japanese army many times, naturally knew that the Japanese army was definitely not idiots and had extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Even in this battle, there was the Fifth Division, one of the most elite ace units of the Japanese army.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fifth Division could be said to have killed gods and Buddhas, except for one time when it was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Pingxingguan.
The 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division fought all the way from Xinkou to Yuncheng, defeating more than 30 divisions of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army without blinking an eye.
In this Battle of Shota, the fifth division of the Japanese army, the most elite, was actually completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, which is really unbelievable.
Although the Eighth Route Army has the advantage in weapons and equipment.
However, the individual quality of the Japanese army was better than that of the Eighth Route Army.
There was no suspense about the Japanese army's defeat, but Chu Yunfei couldn't figure out why the Japanese army suffered such a disastrous defeat.
The commander-in-chief of this battle was Li Yunlong.
Does Li Yunlong really have such powerful strategic and tactical command capabilities?
Just when Chu Yunfei was puzzled.
Fang Ligong walked in quickly with a piece of telegram in his hand. There was a look of deep horror on his face, indicating that the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment was in extreme shock at this time.
"Team seats!"
"Team seats!"
Fang Ligong saw Chu Yunfei meditating on the sand table, so he shouted twice.
"What's up?"
Chu Yunfei came back to his senses and looked at Fang Ligong.
Seeing the horrified look on Fang Ligong's face, Chu Yunfei's expression darkened and he asked, "Brother Ligong, has something happened?"
"Group seats..."
Fang Ligong calmed down his overwhelming emotions and handed the telegram in his hand to Chu Yunfei:
"Just now a telegram was sent from the Commander-in-Chief of the Second Theater Command. The Eighth Route Army Air Force and the National Army's 4th Aviation Group jointly bombed the Japanese mainland, set Tokyo on fire and blew up the Japanese Navy's Shokaku aircraft carrier."
"What did you say?"
Chu Yunfei's pupils suddenly shrank and he opened his eyes wide:
"Bomb the Japanese mainland and blow up the Japanese aircraft carrier?"
Chu Yunfei opened his eyes wide and read the telegram in his hand.
The content of the telegram was not long. After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei was stunned, with an unbelievable look of shock on his face.
Soon, the look of shock on Chu Yunfei's face turned into deep surprise.
"Well done!"
"To deal with these inhumane Japanese beasts, we should roast them all into roast pigs like this!"
Chu Yunfei said loudly.
This is not the first time that the Chinese Air Force has bombed Japan, but it is the first time that real bombs have been dropped on Japanese soil.
In Chu Yunfei's view, the bombing of Japan and the destruction of the Japanese aircraft carrier this time were more satisfying than the elimination of 100,000 Japanese soldiers!
“Unbelievable!”
Fang Ligong pushed up his glasses and said in a shocked tone:
"This cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army led to long-range bombing of the Japanese mainland, including Tokyo, and the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku."
"This bombing of the Japanese mainland will definitely go down in history."
"This should be the work of the Eighth Route Army. The mountain city government does not have this capability, otherwise the mountain city would not have been bombed by Japanese aircraft for several years."
"But I'm curious, how come the Nationalist Air Force and the Eighth Route Army Air Force got together?"
At the end of the sentence, Fang Ligong sounded surprised.
Although this was the second period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, except for a few national army generals such as Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi, they had close relations with the Eighth Route Army.
The relationship between most of the National Army units and the Eighth Route Army is not very good.
"Not sure."
Chu Yunfei shook his head and said:
"However, after the 4th Aviation Group arrives in Shanxi, it may not be that easy to go back."
"Team seat." Fang Ligong was suddenly startled, "You mean, the Eighth Route Army will seize the 4th Aviation Group?"
"That won't happen."
Chu Yunfei smiled coldly:
"It should be the Eighth Route Army that took the initiative to invite the Chinese army to participate in the bombing of the Japanese mainland and the aircraft carrier Shohe."
"After the bombing of Japan this time, how many pilots in the 4th Aviation Group do you think are willing to return to the Chinese army?"
"That's true." Fang Ligong sighed, his tone helpless.
Even if he was a pilot, he would be willing to join the Eighth Route Army's air force, drive a bomber, eat chocolate, sing songs and bomb the Japanese mainland.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even he was moved, let alone those Chinese pilots who fought with the Japanese aviation units.
Chu Yunfei changed the topic and asked: "Brother Ligong, how long has it been since our 358th regiment fought with the Japanese army?"
"Regiment leader, our regiment has not fought with the Japanese army for almost a year."
Fang Ligong sighed and replied:
"The last time our 358th Regiment fought against the Japanese army, Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the 36th Division, and our 358th Regiment attacked the first section of the 3rd Brigade in Datong."
In that battle, Chu Yunfei wanted to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the 36th Division and the main support of the 3rd Brigade in Datong to support the 36th Division. Chu Yunfei led the 358th Regiment in a sneak attack to recapture Datong.
Datong was recaptured by Chu Yunfei, but was killed by the 3rd Brigade. The 358th Regiment was almost defeated by the 3rd Brigade.
If Li Yunlong hadn't led his troops northward for reinforcements, the 358th Regiment would have been defeated by the Japanese 3rd Brigade.
In that battle, the 358th Regiment lost all the mule carts of the entire logistics transport team, as well as the capture of Datong, which also served as a wedding dress for Li Yunlong.
Afterwards, Yan Xishan was afraid that the 358th Regiment would be retaliated by the Japanese army, so he transferred the 358th Regiment from northwest Shanxi to Luliang Mountain for garrison.
"I feel really bad."
Chu Yunfei sighed:
"At a time when our country is in danger, we, as soldiers, are supposed to protect our country and our country, but we sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
Seeing that Li Yunlong's battle was getting bigger and bigger, he was killing more and more Japanese, and this time they had all reached the Japanese mainland.
Chu Yunfei felt itchy in his heart, like a cat scratching.
Deep down in his heart, Chu Yunfei really wanted to use his own ability to do something for the country and the nation.
Thinking of Li Yunlong's solicitation, Chu Yunfei turned to Li Gong and said, "Brother Li Gong, get ready. Let's go to Taiyuan to meet Li Yunlong."
"Tuan Zuo..." Fang Ligong was suddenly startled, "Isn't it inappropriate to go to Taiyuan at this time?"
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and said firmly: "It doesn't matter."
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
The heavily guarded North China Front Army Headquarters.
War Room.
Okamura Neiji, Sue Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki were discussing in the operations hall where the Eighth Route Army's planes would conduct air strikes.
The Eighth Route Army's planes have been silent for a month, obviously they are holding back their big move.
"General."
"I just received the information."
The intelligence staff walked in quickly, lowered his head with an ugly face and reported to Okamura Neji:
"The Eighth Route Army dispatched 50 bombers yesterday, air raided our homeland, set Tokyo on fire, and sank the aircraft carrier Xianghe."
After finishing speaking, the intelligence staff bowed his head and expressed his condolences to the compatriots who died in the bombing.
"Nani?"
The expressions of Yumo Seizo and Yamamoto Kazuki both changed.
"Where did the information come from?"
Youmo Jingsan asked with a gloomy face.
"Information obtained from enemy military reports."
The intelligence staff replied.
For such a big thing as the mainland being bombed, the base camp did not notify the North China Front Headquarters, which is enough to show that the losses on the mainland were not small.
The intelligence staff officers, Sue Seizo, Yamamoto Kazuki, and all the combat staff officers all looked solemn.
However, the commander of the North China Front Army, Okamura Neiji, could not help but raise the corners of his mouth, and even said: "Yo Xi."
"Nani?"
Sue Seizo, Yamamoto Kazuki, intelligence staff, and a group of combat staff looked at Okamura Neiji with dumbfounded expressions.
General, is your expression of joy serious?
