Chapter 535: Boss Chen comes to visit with the latest information!
Whether to continue the attack on northwestern Shanxi according to the original plan is a question.
Okamura Neiji first looked thoughtful, then looked at Tanabe Moritake: "Tanabe-kun, what do you think?"
Tanabe Moritake was slightly frightened, knowing that Okamura Neji was testing him. He carefully considered his words before saying:
"For safety reasons, my suggestion is to re-formulate the battle plan."
"What's the reason?" Okamura Neji asked expressionlessly.
Although Tanabe Moritake gave the reason, it was not sufficient.
After all, it took Okacun nearly a month to formulate the mopping-up plan in northwestern Shanxi. How could he just change it?
It will probably take nearly another month to re-formulate the battle plan. By then the Eighth Route Army will be more fully prepared and the difficulty of the sweep will be greatly increased.
"Your Excellency, General!"
Tanabe Moritake said: "Although only you, me, You Mojun, and several division commanders who participated in the raid knew about this raid on the bandit areas in northwestern Shanxi, we do not rule out that the information has been leaked. Your Excellency, Commander, can carefully
Think about it, since Ohashi Changan has no access to the fishing plan, who among them knows both the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi and the fishing plan?"
"Tanabe-kun." Neji Okamura's eyes flashed sharply: "Are you suspecting Sue-kun?"
Those division commanders must not know the whereabouts of Miyano Michichi.
We don’t know the true content of the fishing plan, so the raiding and raiding plan will definitely not be leaked from several division commanders.
If the raiding plan was really leaked, then it must have been the person who leaked the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi and the fishing plan.
Naturally, Neiji Okamura cannot be the mole. As for the remaining two suspects, Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe and Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisu, it is hard to say who is the spy.
Tanabe Moributo: "I have no doubts about Sue-kun, I am just analyzing rationally."
"There is no doubt about Sue-kun." Okamura Neji suddenly looked at Tanabe Moritake and asked in a sharp tone, "Are you doubting me?"
"I don't dare to do this because of my humble position!" Tanabe Moritake's breath was stagnant, and he secretly thought, "Why don't you, the general, play your cards according to the routine?"
How dare I doubt your Excellency, General?
But by saying this, he was putting himself on the fire. He didn't doubt Okamura Neji and Arisu Seizo, but was he doubting himself?
Tadamichi Kuribayashi on the side was speechless. Why did he feel that the atmosphere at the North China Front Army Headquarters was a bit strange?
A good offensive raid and fishing plan turned into a palace fight, with everyone suspicious of each other.
Even Tadamichi Kuribayashi was involved. If he had known about it, he would have deliberately pretended to be ill and refused to take command of the fishing plan.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret.
Okamura Neiji suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, I will definitely find the person who leaked the fishing plan and Lieutenant General Miyano, and crush him to ashes. However, the mopping up plan to attack northwest Shanxi will never be leaked, because
I trust you and Mr. Youmo, so the raids on the bandits in northwestern Shanxi will still proceed according to the original battle plan!"
After finishing speaking, Okamura Neiji waved his hand, signaling Tanabe Moritake and Kuribayashi Tadamichi to retreat.
Tanabe Moritake and Kuribayashi Tadamichi both bowed their heads, then turned and walked out.
When the two figures' backs disappeared from sight, Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed, returning to indifference and gloominess.
He did not completely believe Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo.
If given a choice, he would definitely re-formulate the battle plan.
But now all the aircraft supporting the North China Front's Flying Division have been destroyed. Even Peiping Airport, Baoding Airport and Shimen Airport have been bombed by pursuing enemy planes, and their runways have been blown up.
The common people in northwest Shanxi are likely to cross the Yellow River westward and run away. Once the common people in northwest Shanxi are safe, the Eighth Route Army will have no weakness.
It is simply wishful thinking to rely on this division and the Wanhuang Alliance Army to destroy the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army can even run away at any time, leaving the Japanese and puppet troops in vain.
Even if a raid is launched in a month, by the time armies from all walks of life rush into the Eighth Route Army base area in the northwest of Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army and the people in the northwest of Shanxi will probably have already finished harvesting the autumn grain and run away with the food.
Then his plan to pick out the Eighth Route Army's weak spots would be impossible to implement.
Therefore, it is not that Okamura Neji does not want to change the battle plan, but that he has no choice.
In the morning, because more than 80 aircraft of the Flying Division were destroyed, Tojo sent another telegram to scold him.
If Li Yunlong and the new regiment in northwestern Shanxi cannot be eliminated as soon as possible in this battle, there will really be no way to answer Tojo Hideji and the emperor.
Now Okamura Neji can only bet that Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo are not spies of the Eighth Route Army.
…
Two days later.
Li Yunlong led his troops back to the base area with the loot.
The remains of the fallen soldiers were buried on a hilltop on the edge of the Xinzhou Basin without even a tombstone to prevent them from being destroyed by the Japanese and puppet troops.
However, the general staff remembered the location and marked it so that one day in the future, when the Anti-Japanese War is victorious and China is liberated, it will pick up the heroes home.
The Japs' corpses were confiscated by the Xinyi Tuan and left to the Japs to collect on their own.
The injured soldiers have been sent to field hospitals. Now the new regiment's field hospital has sufficient medicines and although there are not many doctors, they are enough.
On the night when he returned to northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong ordered the horse meat to be divided.
Although the season is approaching September and the weather is no longer so hot, horse meat will rot over time.
The main force of the new regiment and the soldiers in each division were given horse meat, and even the militiamen and some ordinary people were given horse meat.
The third day.
Northwestern Shanxi, Dagu Town.
Li Yunlong is inspecting the defensive position of the 1st Battalion outside Dagu Town.
The defensive positions of the 1st Battalion are well built. The combination of tunnels, reverse slopes and bunkers with cross and side firepower will definitely give the attacking Japanese a drink.
Suddenly, the high-power walkie-talkie of the correspondent beside him rang. After answering the walkie-talkie, the correspondent reported to Li Yunlonghui:
"Report to the regiment leader, Battalion Commander Zhang said that Boss Chen has arrived and is at the regiment headquarters."
Li Yunlong looked happy: "Go back to the regiment headquarters!"
At that moment, Li Yunlong hurriedly ran to the road and jumped into the jeep. Huang Erhu started the jeep and turned around, heading towards Dagu Town.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! About 10 minutes later, with a roar, the jeep tire left a scratch on the bluestone floor, and then stopped steadily in front of the regiment department.
This was originally the headquarters of the 1st Battalion, but now it has become the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment.
Li Yunlong hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters and saw Yan Shuangying standing in a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses nailed to the door like a javelin.
At the same time, I heard that Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang were entertaining Chen Feng in the outer room of the regiment headquarters, and the three of them were talking happily.
"Haha, brother Chen, welcome to the new group to guide the work."
Before anyone could step into the outhouse of the regiment headquarters, Commander Li laughed loudly and at the same time stepped into the outhouse of the regiment headquarters.
Seeing Li Yunlong walk in, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and Chen Feng stood up. Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Sit, sit."
Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang if he wanted the cooking team to prepare food and drinks. After receiving Zhao Gang's affirmative answer, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng and asked with a smile:
"Haha, brother Chen, did you come here today with information or is the Japanese raids about to begin?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly: "I came to your group today mainly for three things."
"Brother, what three things?"
Li Yunlong's expression moved slightly, and he made a listening gesture with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
In this Xinzhou battle, if it weren't for Boss Chen's intelligence, it would have been difficult for the New Regiment to defeat the Lilin detachment, and it would have been almost impossible to kill the Japanese planes.
It can be said that the information leaked from boss Chen's fingernails can make Xinyi Tuan make a fortune.
"Before I talk about these three things, I want to tell you some good news."
Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao, and then said: "My pilot reported that all the Japanese North China Front's aircraft and airports have been destroyed."
After the air battle that day, the Japanese pilots knew that they were no match and fled in panic, preparing to land at different airports.
Although the Saber fighter planes were able to catch up, they deliberately did not shoot down the Japanese plane. When the Japanese plane arrived at the airport, the Saber fighter planes blew up the airport and the Japanese plane together.
】
Sabers used napalm to burn several airports in northern China into flames.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao all looked overjoyed. The Japanese plane had been killed. This meant that the people in the New Second Regiment and Independent Regiment defense areas could start preparing to cross the river.
It seemed that he had to send a telegram to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, but Li Yunlong was not in a hurry and had to entertain Boss Chen first.
“Boss Chen’s aircraft is really awesome!”
Zhang Dabiao expressed his sincere admiration and praise.
"Battal Commander Zhang is ridiculous." Chen Feng smiled slightly: "First thing, in this Xinzhou battle, Brother Li and Brother Zhao led their troops to destroy 41 Japanese tanks. According to the long-term business, I should pay your regiment
18 7mm mountain guns and 17 retired tanks were also delivered at noon."
According to the negotiated long-term price, the price of annihilating a Japanese tank regiment was one mountain artillery battalion, that is, four 7mm mountain cannons.
This Xinzhou battle did not completely wipe out the Japanese tank regiment. More than 10 Japanese tanks escaped, and there were only 18 mm mountain guns.
However, this was a timely help for the New Regiment, because more than 10 7mm mountain guns were used to prepare for bombardment of the airport, but they were still in the tunnel and had not been pulled back.
These 18 mountain guns just filled the gap in the new regiment, allowing the artillery of more than 10 7mm mountain guns to fire.
Although Li Yunlong's two tank battalions only destroyed four tanks in the battle, the Japanese's planes dive bombed and destroyed thirteen more tanks.
If Boss Chen's plane hadn't arrived in time, all the tanks would have been blown up by the Japanese planes.
Fortunately, Li Yunlong had already ordered the tank troops to stay away from the tanks, so the losses of the tank troops were not great.
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen, haha."
Li Yunlong grinned at Lao Gao, and Zhao Gang also smiled.
Although 0 tank soldiers were lost, the guys in the Sword Squadron can use tanks, and then two combat teams can be divided to use tanks.
"This second thing."
Chen Feng took a sip of water from the bowl, moistened his throat, and said: "Brother, I have obtained some latest information about the Japanese army's plan to sweep northwestern Shanxi."
When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard this, they looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both saw deep surprise in each other's eyes.
