Ping'an County.

"Thank you Yamamoto Daisa for your recommendation."

Shinji Kosa bowed deeply to Yamamoto, his voice full of gratitude, and the tone of a soldier who died as a confidant:

"For the sake of the Emperor, for the sake of the Imperial Holy War, I will do my best."

But Shinji Kosa bowed down his face was full of gnashing teeth.

"Yo Si."

Yamamoto was very satisfied with Shinji Kosa Shinji's attitude, and he continued to advise:

"This time you have to deal with your old opponent Li Yunlong, this person is scheming, and he acts more than expected, you must be vigilant, take more precautions, and don't take the enemy lightly."

"Hey."

Shinji Kosa continued to bow, but his voice was slightly distorted.

Three times he almost died at the gunpoint of Li Yunlong's troops, five times the garrison Yangquan was attacked by Li Yunlong, four times the wing under his command was ambushed by Li Yunlong and suffered heavy losses, and seven times the garrison was interspersed by Li Yunlong's troops.

Will he be careless about Li Yunlong?

He dared to be careless to Li Yunlong?

"Tell me if you have any difficulties, remember to report to General Yoshimoto in time."

Yamamoto didn't notice Shinji Kosa's abnormality, he patted Kosa on the shoulder, and his tone was meaningful:

"This battle of 8,000 people in the two counties will definitely add to Jia Zuojun's resume."

Regardless of the country's military, promotion to major general is the most difficult step, even in times of war.

Ability, qualifications, and luck are all indispensable.

It stands to reason that a command of 8,000 people requires the rank of major general and wing commander, but with the intervention of Yamamoto and Yoshimoto, Kosa Shinji has obtained actual command, and as long as the goal is completed, no big mistakes are made, and no serious problems occur, it will inevitably be promoted to at least general within a year or two.

In times of war, upgrading is much simpler.

"Hey."

Shinji Kosa had a thick bitterness in his voice.

He lacks a solid backstage, Dazuo is already at the limit, and he has no chance to climb up, even if this is a war period, after all, until now, there are a lot of imperial Dazuo, this time is indeed a good opportunity, a battle command of 8,000 people, and the pedal of upgrading generals.

He should be happy to have this good opportunity.

It was his lifelong dream to become a general.

But the problem is that this time it was Li Yunlong who was dealing with it, which made Shinji Kosa really unhappy.

Li Yunlong is not easy to deal with!

If you don't pay attention to it a little, not only will the general not be able to do it, but you will have to commit suicide.

"Hey..."

Looking at Yamamoto who was leaving, Shinji Kosa sighed deeply.

After Yamamoto left, Yamada, one of the captains of Heian Prefecture and the former captain of the Xiyang garrison, walked into the headquarters.

"Kosa Daisa."

Yamada saluted very skillfully.

"Yamada-kun."

Shinji Kosa pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Yamada to sit down.

The two have known each other for a long time, Xiyang is very close to Yangquan, and then, Yangquan and Xiyang are very close to the original Li Yunlong base, naturally, the relationship between the two is very good, after all, there is a long period of shared hardship.

"Kosa-kun."

Yamada paused, and then said in a very solemn tone:

"Li Yunlong here is even more terrifying than Shou County's."

"Tell me more..."

Shinji Kosa said in an equally solemn tone.

When Li Yunlong was still in Shou County, the two summed up an experience, and they had to make bold assumptions and be very vigilant against Li Yunlong.

······

Late June.

Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory.

The sound of tinkling metal percussion is endless, and more than 1,000 technicians and workers are busy in the factory, most of these people are very young, in their twenties is the mainstream, and there are more in their thirties, only a few are older.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and hope.

Although the machinery factory is very short of people, in line with the attitude of preferring shortage to indiscriminate, Zhang Wanhe is very cautious in the selection of people, mainly selecting those positive, determined, enthusiastic young students and senior technical personnel.

After all, there are four masters here, and there is also a full set of machinery factories with the highest technical level in the entire Republic of China, which is not easy to have any accidents.

At noon, a group of Zhao Jiayu board cars pulled by large mules and horses came to the door, which used rubber pneumatic tires and metal shock absorbers.

"Move these parts up."

Sun Desheng instructed some people to load the wooden boxes stacked in the open space outside the gate of the machinery factory onto the board truck, and then he took out a list and handed it to the leading transport captain:

"Two hundred machine gun parts are here."

"Two hundred?"

The captain of the transport who came was a little surprised.

He is the captain of the transport team of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal, and this time he is here to transport machine gun parts to the headquarters arsenal, and before leaving, Minister Zhang said that he is a hundred main parts of the machine gun.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Sun Desheng was a little proud:

"The production is smoother than expected, and the raw material problem has been initially solved, you go back and say to Zhang Wanhe, starting from July, my side can reach the production capacity of 35 copies per day."

"Thirty-five copies! Be. ”

The captain of the transport was full of surprise and delight.

He naturally knew what he was transporting, which was an important part of the machine gun, and each part meant that one machine gun could be made, thirty-five copies a day, which was a thousand machine guns per month.

A thousand machine guns a month!

How many troops can be equipped!

With indescribable excitement, the transport captain immediately began to lead people to carry the wooden boxes, and his movements were very careful.

"Director Sun."

After a while, a member of the regimental headquarters ran over:

"In the afternoon, there will be a batch of scrap steel transported, about seventy tons, you can prepare."

"So fast?"

Sun Desheng was a little surprised, mobilized the strength of the whole base to collect scrap steel, and also purchased it from outside, so that the problem of lack of steel was solved at once, but the day before yesterday he received a batch of scrap steel, and today there is actually another one, and it is seventy tons, which makes him very surprised. He nodded:

"Okay."

"Part of this batch of steel is sent by foreign businessmen, and part of it is sent by Jin Suijun."

The regimental personnel who came over couldn't help but say a word.

"Jin Suijun."

Sun Desheng smiled.

"The factory director, the political commissar is here."

After the regiment personnel left, Sun Desheng entered the machinery factory building, came to a master, listened to the master talk about the key points of machine tool operation, as well as the structure and design of the machine tool, and a soldier said to Sun Desheng.

"Commissar."

Sun Desheng hurriedly ran outside.

"You get ready."

Zhao Gang didn't talk nonsense, directly spread out the map, pointed to a point and said:

"I came up with a way to separate the machine gun production line and set up a separate plant here, so that it would be easier to expand production and train workers."

"Okay."

The words of the political commissar made Sun Desheng's eyes light up.

Because of the master master, the machinery factory has a large number of advanced technical information provided by Boss Chen, as well as those advanced equipment, the confidentiality is very high, and the safety must be given priority, and the expansion is tied.

But setting up a manufacturing plant outside, it can be completely expanded, and the machine gun production line does not need to be kept secret anyway.

"I'll let someone build the factory immediately, you discuss the transfer plan with the master, and expand production by the way, what equipment is missing, I said, I'll go to Boss Chen's side to get it."

A few days ago, he shot down several devil bombers again, and on each plane, all the quotas of these materials were used to exchange machinery and equipment, so that Zhao Gang had the confidence to implement this plan.

"Yes."

Sun Desheng nodded.

····

Taiyuan.

Yoshimoto listens to the captain of the flight group report on the information.

"From 20 May to 20 June, the flying group carried out a total of 17 reconnaissance missions, 15 bombing missions, 17 reconnaissance sorties, 70 bomber sorties, and a total of 30 tons of bombs."

The captain's tone was full of frustration:

"Seven reconnaissance planes and ten bombers were lost, three of which crashed due to mechanical failure, the pilot parachuted, and all the rest were shot down by the anti-aircraft fire of the separate regiment, and the pilots were all shattered."

Although the planes were replenished, there were fifty Type 97 dive bombers, and the pilots also came a large number of rookies. However, the Type 97 is too old, its performance is backward, its flight altitude is low, its speed is slow, and its mobility is poor, and in the face of the anti-aircraft fire network of the independent regiment, the low-altitude bomb is very likely to be shot down, and the high-altitude bomb is a waste of bombs.

"The reconnaissance of the independent regiment continues, focusing on the reconnaissance of its factory area, and the bombing mission will be suspended for the first time."

Yoshimoto sighed.

Although the other side was clearly prepared in advance, and the houses were built in bomb shelters, and even the houses built were either cave caves or simple masonry structures, bombing was by far the most effective means of attacking the independent regiment.

But the huge losses, and the difficulty of replenishing the aircraft, made it basically necessary to stop the bombing.

As a lieutenant general, Yoshimoto is well aware that the country is making every effort to deal with the threat of the US Navy, coupled with the fact that the secret No. 1 operation plan is being prepared, not to mention the aircraft replenishment, and even the large bomber that was originally promised to him is gone.

"Hey."

The Flying Group Captain breathed a sigh of relief.

After the captain of the flight group left, a staff officer walked in:

"General, Yamamoto Osa's telegram."

"Read."

Yoshimoto nodded:

"Panxian County, Ping'an County fortification group has been established, the brigades have completed the reorganization, and it is expected that a harassing attack will begin on July 1."

"At present, the Independent Regiment has begun to mobilize manpower to build a road from its base to Ping'an County, and it is expected that three days later, that is, on July 1, it will be close to the area controlled by the imperial army."

The staff officer read the telegram.

"Got it."

Yoshimoto smiled slightly.

Things were exactly the same as expected, Li Yunlong really planned to break through from Ping'an County, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

Shortly after the staff officer left, the phone rang and it was Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front.

"Yoshimoto-kun, it has been investigated and confirmed that the attack on Zhangjiakou was sent by Li Yunlong, and the Eighth Route Army also carried out extensive publicity, which made the base camp very angry about this, for this reason, the army stationed in Mongolia will send a wing to help you eliminate Li Yunlong, which is expected to arrive in late August."

"Hey."

Sadachi Yoshimoto's smile grew stronger.

·······

At the same time.

Peiping.

The chief of staff of the North China Front, Miharu Oshido, stepped into the train and planned to go to Taiyuan.

Also at the same time.

Zhao Jiayu.

Wang Gensheng, who had been idle for a long time, set off with his special team, accompanied by more than a dozen team members, as well as five large mules full of explosives.

But the difference is that on the back of the mule, there are no wires, just a few wooden boxes, and something like a radio station with a long antenna.

"Captain, here we are..."

During the march, some team members couldn't help but ask.

"Bomb the Train ······"

The corners of Wang Gensheng's mouth grinned:

"Then, try out the new gear."
