Outside the makeshift tent, sentries guarded the place in layers. The main officers of the independent army were gathered here, quietly watching Gao Dong.

A military map was rolled out, and Gao Dong looked at everyone with a serious face: "When we get here, we must divide our troops and advance!" ”

"Division?" Everyone looked at Gao Dong in surprise, this was completely different from the previous battle plan. Before leaving, didn't you make it clear that you want to gather vital forces to give the enemy a thunderous blow? Why do you have to divide your troops now?

"I said Deputy Commander, if you change the battle plan temporarily, will it be our next attack" Fang Kui hesitated.

"Yes, Deputy Commander, a sudden change in the battle plan will disrupt our original attack plan." Hu Xinghan also said anxiously, for this attack, he studied for two nights.

Gao Dong smiled and said to everyone: "A good commander does not fight according to the battle plan, but adapts to changes on the battlefield. The soldier's trick also lies in taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared. We have gone from the Independent Brigade to the current size of the Independent Army, relying on this surprise and giving them a fatal blow when the devils have repeatedly expected it. This time the road is far away, and the responsibility we bear is very heavy, and there must be no mistakes. The previous battle plan was not well thought out, so it's not too late to change it now. ”

No one present spoke, no matter who they were, they had been with Gao Dong for at least three or four years, they trusted Gao Dong, and they knew that Gao Dong was a ghost talent who was rare in a thousand years in commanding battles. Listen to him, yes.

Seeing that no one had any more objections, Gao Dong cleared his throat and said: "Hu Xinghan, you advance from Henan with the main force, all the way to Shaanxi, and we will make peace in Xinxiang!" ”

Gao Dong pointed to the location of Xinxiang on the map and stared at Hu Xinghan tightly: "Ten days, only ten days, you must take the troops to fight here." Is there a problem? ”

"Nope!" Hu Xinghan shouted confidently, if he was given the main force of the independent army, he would be full of confidence if he had ten days to fight a way.

"Good!" Gao Dong stood up straight and said with a smile: "The cavalry, tank troops and Fang Kui's troops are all following me, and we will go to conquer the entire Shandong." ”

"Yes!" All the officers in the tent puffed up their chests and let out this loud roar from their chests.

Half an hour later, most of them split in half. Hu Xinghan commanded the more than 30,000 troops of the Independence Army and carried a large number of artillery pieces in cars in the direction of Henan. Gao Dong, on the other hand, commanded an army, including cavalry and tank units, as well as self-propelled artillery units, in the direction of Shandong.

Gao Dong had to use a two-pronged approach, distracting the enemy's forces so that they could not concentrate their forces to attack them, and then adopting the method of dividing and breaking through to destroy the Japanese army one by one.

This time, Gao Dong not only wants to occupy the whole of Shandong, but also to include half of Henan in his pocket.

Gao Dong ordered the cavalry and armored troops to go first, and he wanted to use his strong mobility to seize the advantage before the devil could react. A division led by Fang Kui followed closely behind, providing assistance to the troops in front at any time.

Gao Dong was riding on a horse, full of spirit. Looking at the plains in the distance, he was back here again.

"Captain, we are going to Xuzhou in front. There is a wing of devils in Xuzhou City, and there is almost a division of puppet troops. Zhang Huilong rode a horse and rushed from the front to report on the investigation.

"I think back then, we fought to the death with the devils in Taierzhuang, and we were almost wiped out by the devil's A division group. Now we're back, this time, to see how the devils parry us. Gao Dong was full of pride in his heart, and said with a laugh: "Order the whole army to speed up, and we will take Xuzhou City in one go." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling roar in the sky. Gao Dong raised his head suddenly, only to see nearly forty planes flying from behind them, and from a distance, they were all fighter jets.

"Devil air raid, devil air raid, all hidden!" There were already officers in the ranks shouting, and the cavalry quickly dispersed to both sides of the road.

On the main road, the cavalry is tantamount to being a target for aircraft. Even if they run as fast as they can't get airplanes, the Japanese can slowly chase and strangle them with a playful mentality.

Gao Dong clenched his fists tightly: "Damn, I already knew that the devil would use air strikes, but it came so quickly!" ”

"Captain, get out of the way!" Li Zehui rode a horse and reminded loudly.

"Yes, Captain, it's too dangerous on the road, let's avoid it!" Tang Wei pulled Gao Dong's reins and rushed to the side of the road.

Da Da Da ...... Da-da-da-da. At this moment, more than a dozen devil planes swooped down, sending out clouds of smoke and dust on the main road.

The originally peaceful road was suddenly shrouded in smoke, and from a distance it looked like a fairyland, full of mystery.

"Everyone, hide, quick!" There was another roar in the ranks of the cavalry.

More than a dozen planes of the devils had just finished tilting their bullets and flew away, and then the second round of strafing came again. More than a dozen planes swooped down and launched a fierce strafing fire on the cavalry that had retreated to both sides of the road.

More than 20 cavalrymen were swept to pieces by large-caliber bullets in the gallop of horses, and their flesh and blood flew all over the sky, which was terrible to see.

"Damn it!" Gao Dong slammed his fist on the horse's back, and the startled horseman stood up.

"Captain, let's hide, we can't take the plane!" Li Zehui's anxious head was sweating, desperately pulling Gao Dong's reins, dragging the horse to the side of the road.

Gao Dong also knows that this is a fact, if the plane can be used with a rifle, then the Chinese army will not always suffer in the air raids of the devils. The range of a machine gun is completely incomparable to that of an airplane, let alone a rifle, unless there is a weapon such as an anti-aircraft gun.

Thinking of this, Gao Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly looked back at the tanks and self-propelled guns on the road that were also evading the air raids of devils, and a very bold idea rushed to his mind.

"What about the machine guns? Let the machine guns shoot at the sky, damn little devils, I told you to be arrogant, let you be arrogant today! Gao Dong rode his horse and ran towards the armored troops, and couldn't stop laughing.

In the sky, the devil's 96 planes were divided into three formations and took turns strafing the ground.

The devils did not send bombers over, and most of the bombers were sent to the southern battlefield by the new commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, to bomb the living forces of the country and the army. There is not a single bomber left on the Nanjing side, only 96 attack aircraft can be called.

According to past experience, as long as it is an airplane, the Chinese army has no choice but to avoid the indiscriminate bombardment on the plane, or find a civil fortification to hide to avoid being swept away by the bullets on the plane.

Tada's idea was very simple, let these fighters split into multiple sorties to attack the ground forces of the Independence Army in turn, constantly reducing their strength and reducing the combat effectiveness of the Independence Army. In this case, even if the independent army arrives in Shaanxi, it will be the end of the crossbow and will not be able to form any combat effectiveness.

"Ikeda-kun, I just killed more than 30 people at once. Isn't our bet worth it? On a plane, the arrogant devil pilot shouted triumphantly over the radio.

"That's just your luck! Murakami, let's continue to gamble this time. You lead the first formation, and I lead the second formation, and see which formation kills the most people. Whoever loses, whoever must have a drink tonight. An equally smug voice came over the radio.

"Well, a word is a certainty, my village's fame is not for nothing. On the battlefield in China, I killed not a thousand, but eight hundred. The devil pilot in Murakami laughed, maneuvered the plane to flip quickly in the air, and rushed again with his formation to the Chinese troops below.

"This time, our formation will be able to wipe out hundreds of people in one go." Murakami laughed.

At that moment, there was a dull clatter on the ground. The two planes of Murakami's formation flying on the right flank actually caught fire in their fuselages, and they exploded directly in the air with a bang.

"All pull up." Murakami was so frightened that he hurriedly gave the order, and the remaining ten planes of the first formation immediately rose into the air and rushed through the rain of bullets.

"Murakami, Murakami, what happened, how did your plane get shot down?" The voice of Ikeda, the commander of the second formation, came over the radio, looking unusually anxious. Immediately after that, the voice of the commander of the third formation was heard, equally eager to know what was happening.

"Everyone, pay attention, they actually have anti-aircraft weapons. The range of bullets exceeded 600 meters, and the altitude at which we dived just now was too low, and two planes were shot down by surprise! Murakami wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in horror.

If it weren't for his quick reaction, his formation might have suffered even more heavy losses. At the moment of pulling it up, he seemed to see that the opponent's heavy machine gun was mounted on the car and hidden on the side of the road.

"Damn China, when did you get an anti-aircraft machine gun?" Murakami cursed viciously, and in his impression, the Chinese army had very few anti-aircraft weapons. Even if there is, it is generally fixed in a certain direction.

He never imagined that a rapidly marching unit would have moving heavy weapons and easily shoot down two planes in his formation.

"Murakami-kun, you have a good rest, look at me below. I've found the location of their anti-aircraft machine guns, let's go in the second formation and destroy them. Ikeda's voice came over the radio, and Murakami could hear a deep sense of anger.

"Please, Ikeda-kun!" Murakami took his first formation in a circle in the air and followed behind the third formation, ready for a third attack.

On the ground, Gao Dong, hidden in the woods on the side of the road, stood in front of a self-propelled gun, looking at the plane that swooped down, and the corners of his mouth showed a bitter sneer.

"Everybody get ready, aim at them at close range. This time, knock them all down for me. Gao Dong slapped his palm the armor of the self-propelled gun!
