Colonel Liu Xin walked into the war room excitedly and said to Yue Weihan: "The main office, the forward position reported that the Japanese aircraft stationed at Shimen Dakuo Village Airport suffered a devastating blow, and two of the Japanese aircraft were directly destroyed.
Although the remaining 40 or so Japanese planes barely managed to get into the air, they all disintegrated after several dives. It seems that only two Japanese planes survived."
"Okay." Liu Yi said, "After destroying the Japanese planes at Shimen Airport, the divisions will have no worries for the time being."
"Order each division..." Yue Weihan nodded and ordered, "We must break through the Japanese outer defense line within half an hour and extend the front line to Shimen City."
Liu Yi thought for a while and suddenly asked Yue Weihan: "Chief, do you think it is possible for this old devil Okamura Neji to go crazy? What if this old devil is as crazy as Tada Shun and launches an indiscriminate and devastating bombing on Shimen?
, then the four main divisions of our 39th Group Army and the tens of thousands of people in Shimen City will have to pay compensation to the 28th Division of the little devil!"
"Okamura Neji must be thinking!" Yue Weihan said suddenly, "but he doesn't dare to do this!"
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded and said with deep understanding, "If Okamura Neji really orders a devastating bombing of Shimen, it may not be able to severely damage our 39th Group Army, but it will definitely cause heavy casualties to the innocent people in Shimen City.
Then the 'pro-China' image he has worked so hard to establish will be destroyed, and his 'soft-hearted' policy will go bankrupt."
Yue Weihan nodded and said in a solemn tone: "Yes, if we can really crush Neji Okamura's 'soft' policy, it will be worthwhile for us to make some sacrifices."
Yue Weihan's words are not nonsense. As a time traveler, no one knows the power of Okamura Neji better than him!
Okamura Neiji’s series of policies of "warmness", "cannibalization" and "cage" are really not exaggerated. These strategies are so powerful in dividing and dismantling China's resistance. It is no exaggeration to say that this is almost unsolvable.
Yes, even "land reform", a great weapon that transcends the times, will not be effective until the Eighth Route Army does not have sufficient military strength.
If the sacrifice of the 39th Group Army can lead to the bankruptcy of Okamura Neji's China policy, Yue Weihan will never be stingy!
However, Yue Weihan also knew in his heart that Okamura Neji was by no means comparable to a fool like Shun Tada, and he would never do such a foolish act of killing the goose that lays the goose to seize the egg.
…
Cuimingzhuang, eastern suburb of Peiping.
Major General Hirata Masapan, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, hurriedly walked into Okamura Neiji's office. He immediately stood upright and reported to Okamura Neiji: "Your Excellency, the commander, the aviation reconnaissance team reported that the north departure point of the Ping-Han Railway is set to be fixed."
County, south to Xingtai, and all the strongholds and gun towers along the nearly 200 kilometers have been destroyed!"
"What!?" Okamura Neji suddenly sat up from his chair after hearing this.
Lieutenant General Moritake Tanabe, the chief of staff next to him, suddenly turned back to look at Masaru Hirata, his face full of disbelief.
The Pinghan-Hankou Railway starts from Dingxian in the north and ends at Xingtai in the south. There are more than 200 strongholds of various sizes along the nearly 200 kilometers, and at least a thousand artillery towers and bunkers. Although the Eighth Route Army has a large number of people, they have no weapons to attack the enemy.
How could such a large number of bunker fortifications be destroyed by tunnel excavation and blasting?
"Hirata-kun." Tanabe Moritake calmed down and asked, "You are not mistaken, are you?"
"Hai." Masapan Hirata lowered his head suddenly and said, "The news has been verified and it is absolutely correct!"
"Hiss..." Tanabe Moritake suddenly took a breath of air and turned back to look at Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neiji frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Where are the six patrol teams sent by the 3rd Brigade?"
"We are all in pieces!" Shogun Hirata sighed. "The aviation reconnaissance troops of the 4th Flying Regiment discovered many tanks and armored car wreckage that had been destroyed by Tubal Road on the roads along the railway line.
Analysis of the wound shows that it should be caused by large-caliber combat anti-aircraft guns, and Tubal Road is likely to have a large number of large-caliber combat anti-aircraft guns."
"Large-caliber combat artillery?" Neji Okamura said coldly, "Do you think it's possible?"
Masaru Hirata was speechless. He also felt that it was impossible for Tubal Road to have large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery.
Large-caliber combat artillery is actually a cannon. Taking a 75-caliber cannon as an example, it weighs at least three or four tons, is huge, and requires extremely high logistics support. It must be maneuvered by road and towed by trucks. Where can the Eighth Route Army go?
How to get a truck? How to maneuver? How to hide? Obviously, this speculation is absolutely unfounded.
"This is puzzling." Tanabe Moritake pondered, "Is it possible that Tubalu invented some new weapon?"
"I'm afraid it's not Tubal Road, but the 39th Group Army!" Okamura Neiji said solemnly, "The batch of Taiyuan Arsenal machinery and equipment that disappeared from Shimen Station last year seems not to have been destroyed, but was transported in by the 39th Group Army.
Jingxing is closed, Yue Weihan must have come up with some new weapons, so he carefully planned this great show!"
"If this is really the case..." Tanabe Moritake was horrified and said, "Then Shimen will be in danger."
Shogun Hirata said in confusion: "If Yue Weihan really has developed some new weapons, then why did he give these new weapons to Tubal Road? Why didn't Yue Weihan use these new weapons to attack Shimen directly? Why did he need to be mysterious?
, create a 'Tumen Mutiny' and make the problem so complicated?"
"Mysterious?" Tanabe Shengwu shook his head and said, "No, this is not mysterious."
After saying this, Tanabe Moritake added: "If Yue Weihan's 39th Army directly attacks Shimen, then we can quickly mobilize troops through the Pinghan-Han Railway. It will take time to assemble the four direct divisions of the front army, but the Fourth Army's
However, the 27th Division is in a state of combat readiness at any time and can reach Shimen from Peiping within four hours."
"The 27th Division may not be enough to defeat the 39th Army, but it is more than enough to hold them back."
"As long as the 27th Division holds off the 39th Group Army for two to three days, the four divisions directly under the Front Army will be able to complete the encirclement of the 39th Group Army, and then the 39th Group Army will be doomed! With Yue Weihan's tactical judgment ability, it is impossible for him to fail to see that the emperor
The army's arrangement at Shimen is simply a trap."
"So Yue Weihan carefully planned the 'Tumen Mutiny', first luring the Eighth Route Army to cut off the Ping-Han Railway!"
Having said this, Tanabe Moritake looked at Okamura Neiji again, and then said: "So the commander took advantage of his plan and weaved a big net, trying to use Shimen and the strongholds along the Pinghan Railway as bait to capture Yue Weihan's 39
The group army and the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the main force in southern Hebei, were wiped out in one fell swoop!"
"The result is regrettable." Okamura Neji shook his head and said gloomily, "My plan went bankrupt. I thought of all the unfavorable factors that I could think of, but I never thought that Yue Weihan could come up with a new style that could change the situation of the battle.
Weapons, now, the Ping-Han Railway has been completely attacked, Shimen and several counties along the railway have become dead ends..."
"Commander, there is no need to be discouraged." Tanabe Moritake said, "Shimen has not been lost, and the situation is still solvable."
"Even if Shimen cannot be defended, the imperial army may not be able to save the situation." A sudden and inexplicable fierce light flashed across Hirata's eyes, and he said in a ferocious voice, "Your Excellency, Commander, why not order the aviation corps to destroy the city of Shimen?"
Sexual bombing, right? Even if the 28th Division cannot be saved, at least the entire 39th Group Army will have to pay for them!"
"Baga!" Neji Okamura was furious when he heard this and slapped Shogun Hirata twice.
Hirata turned his head to the left and said "Hai", and turned his head to the right and said "Hai". He received two slaps but still had a stiff neck.
"Short-sighted." Okamura Neiji slapped Hirata twice. The anger in his chest gradually disappeared, and he immediately turned around and walked away.
…
Tumen Fortress, Baodu Mountain Main Fortress.
Colonel Liu Xin entered the war room again and said to Yue Weihan: "General seat, at 8:05 in the morning, the 6th Regiment of the Baoshan Division first broke into the west area of Shimen. At 8:15, the 1st Regiment of the 181st Division also broke into the north area of Shimen. However,
, the attack on Dakuo Village Airport by the 1st Regiment of Baoshan Division did not go smoothly. Several attacks were collapsed by the Japanese army, and the number of casualties exceeded 500!"
"Okay!" Liu Yi said happily, "Our army has finally broken into the city. Now even if the little devils transfer planes from Beiping, Baoding, and Jinan Airport, they can only catch us blind. They can't bring us with the devils."
Let’s blow it up together, haha, what tricks does Du Xuewen do that he can’t even take down an airport?”
Colonel Liu Xin said: "Come here, Commander Du reports that there is a tunnel connecting the Dakuo Village Airport to the urban area. When the attack was at its fiercest, about one infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers and at least one regiment of puppet soldiers suddenly appeared.
At Dakuo Village Airport, the 1st Regiment is currently at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but Commander Du said that the airport will be captured before noon."
"What do you think, Chief?" Liu Yi turned back and looked at Yue Weihan, "Do you want to send reinforcements to Du Xuewen?"
"Du Xuewen is a good young man, he can fight and lead troops!" Yue Weihan muttered, "Let him try again."
Liu Yi immediately said to Liu Xin: "Liu Xin, send a telegram to Du Xuewen immediately, asking him to use his brain more and fight more skillfully!"
Liu Xin agreed and took the order, and Liu Yi said to Yue Weihan: "General, the Eighth Route Army has eaten the Ping-Han Railway bait, and Shimen is probably about to be reached soon. Just rely on the infantrymen of the 28th Division left behind to guard Shimen.
The 112th Regiment can be eliminated without waiting until dark. How can Okamura Neji fish when he has no bait? Can he report his victory to Chongqing now?"
Yue Weihan waved his hand and said calmly: "Chief of Staff, this is just a small victory, not worth being too happy about." After saying this, Yue Weihan said again, "What's more, the war is not over yet. When the Shimen City area is cleared,
