"What's going on?"

Hearing the news, Gangcun Ningci was a little dizzy.

He had a total of 136 planes, and he lost nearly one-sixth of them at one time.

Also lost twenty crews, twenty good pilots.

Aircraft are easy to replenish, although the current empire is difficult, but the aircraft production capacity is okay, the problem is that it is not easy for pilots, the navy has been defeated one after another, and the pilots have suffered serious losses.

The empire currently has a serious shortage of pilots.

The new pilot replenishes the speed, which is simply not worth the consumption.

"According to the report of the captain of the flight group."

The staff officer explained:

"The anti-aircraft fire at the airport of the Jincheng Independent Regiment was very strong, and the bombers were ambushed by fighters."

"Let's go down."

Okamura Ninji sighed deeply and waved his hand helplessly.

"Hey."

The staff officer was stunned, he hadn't finished the report yet, the effect of the bombing on the enemy, the situation of the five fighters flying back, etc., because it was an urgent report, he didn't write the report, but seeing that his commander was tired, the staff officer still retreated.

"Hey..."

After the staff officer left, Gangcun sighed deeply.

Bombing effect?

According to the rich combat experience of the First Army against the independent regiment, there were many examples of heavy losses again and again, and there were situations beyond imagination again and again. Does this still need to be asked? Is it necessary to ask?

The airfield of the Separate Regiment was clearly prepared for his bombing, and it was absolutely impossible for its pilots to stay in the airfield.

As for the planes.

Does it make sense for this thing to blow up?

Tanks build roads, and there will be a shortage of aircraft for the separate regiment that wastes tens of thousands of shells a day?

Sighing again, Okamura Ningji called the person in charge of North China Special High-tech:

"Find a way to kill the pilots of the Independent Regiment."

"Whatever it takes!"

In the end, Okamura Ninji said fiercely.

The battle of central Henan is about to begin, and he needs to open up the Pinghan Railway, but there is an enemy airfield next to him, and this airfield has sufficient materials, sufficient fuel, and sufficient aircraft, although the pilots are somewhat insufficient, but it is still a serious trouble.

With Li Yunlong's style, he is afraid that he will have to attack against the bombardment.

And he can't and doesn't have the ability to defend the sky for the attacking forces, neither the air force nor the air defense weapons have this ability.

"Hey."

The person in charge of the special high-tech is full of bitterness.

Kill the pilots of the Separate Regiment?

Now there are a lot of hidden intelligence personnel in the empire who have infiltrated Zhao Jiayu's base, and there is a full squadron, and of course there are a lot of people who have been caught.

And most of the undercover people are working there! Build roads, houses, and land for the independent regiment. Only a very small number of them have infiltrated the army, and all of them are rank-and-file soldiers.

The airport is a key warning area for the independent regiment.

It's not easy to do!

·····

April 20th.

Garrisoned in the headquarters of the Mongolian army.

"That is."

The current commander of the army stationed in Mongolia, Nemo Bo, looked at the intelligence section who came to report and frowned:

"The Independent Regiment sent a part of its troops to be stationed near Datong?"

Datong is one of the important cities of the Mongolian army, and it is also the starting station of the Tongpu Railway, where a full formation of the empire is stationed.

"Hey."

The intelligence section bowed his head.

Hearing the confirmation, Nebo frowned even deeper.

Although the strength of the guerrillas in Jin Province has skyrocketed over the past year or so, they have only obtained some food supplies, light weapons, and even some artillery pieces recently, and their strength has increased significantly.

But compared to the imperial army under his command, there are still some deficiencies, and he is not afraid of these people when it comes to fighting. Although the total strength of the imperial army in Mongolia was far inferior to that of the First Army, it was not weak.

The overall threat is not great.

Except for the separate regiments.

This regiment has independent weapons supply channels, is very strong, the same number of people, and the combat effectiveness even far exceeds that of the imperial army.

That is, this independent regiment released a small force to attack the headquarters of the Mongolian army, killed two commanders of the Mongolian army at the same time, and even killed General Zhuang Benfan, which made the empire angry.

After this incident, he became the commander of the army stationed in Mongolia, and in order to take revenge, he sent a wing to the Ping'an County area to participate in the extermination of the independent regiment.

And then.

That wing, including the wing commander, was completely annihilated by the independent regiment.

Subsequently, this regiment, together with its commander Li Yunlong, fought in Shanxi, attracting the main force of the First Army, so that the other guerrillas seized the Tongpu Railway in one fell swoop, and even captured most of the county towns in Jin.

And now, the regiment has sent troops close to his precinct.

Something is not good!

"How many people, how are the weapons and equipment?"

Nebo hurriedly asked.

"There is no investigation at this time."

The Intelligence Section bowed his head and replied:

"But the total strength is not less than seven thousand people, there are more than a hundred half-track vehicles, and there are at least fifty 105 guns, and even no less than thirty tanks."

"They are building a large number of warehouses, building strong positions, and are also starting to expand the road, expand the same paved railway, it seems that they intend to stay there for a long time, and even suspect that large-caliber heavy artillery has been found."

"No less than seven thousand people, dozens of large artillery pieces and dozens of tanks, as well as heavy artillery."

Hiroshi rubbed his forehead.

At present, the first army is entrenched in the Zhengtai line, that is, in the central part of Jin Province, and the purpose of this army stationed in the northernmost part of Jin Province is self-evident.

It was to deal with him, to deal with the imperial army in Mongolia, and to completely open up the Tongpu line.

"What are the movements of the other Tubalu guerrillas?"

Nebo continued.

The Separate Regiment was strong.

But with only 7,000 independent regiment troops, his troops stationed in Mongolia should be able to deal with it.

Although the main force was dispatched to fight in Southeast Asia, although he had previously supported two companies of the First Army, many new recruits were added in the follow-up, and now there are nearly 20,000 people under his command, and the weapons and equipment are not bad, with more than 90 artillery pieces of various calibers.

The problem is that the enemy does not have more than just a separate regiment.

As far as he knew, in the previous battles, the 772nd Regiment of Tuba Road, which attacked Fu'an, was also very strong, with about 4,000 people in one regiment, equipped with more than 20 heavy guns, and completed the unification of light weapons, and the supply was sufficient, the firepower was strong, and the combat effectiveness surpassed that of any wing of the empire.

If you add these people, he really can't deal with it.

"A large number of guerrillas are approaching the border of northern Shanxi, with a total strength of no less than 30,000 people, including the 7.73 Regiment and the 7.79 Regiment, the main regiments of their work."

Considering the tank business, Li Yunlong beckoned the troops to swagger and did not hide them at all, so the devil knew very well the movements of the troops, and even the number of the troops.

Of course, this was propagandized by the troops on their own initiative.

Intelligence Dazuo's words made Hiroshi Nemoto's face change, and he immediately said:

"Give me a call from the commander of the Kwantung Army."

30,000 guerrillas, plus 7,000 people of the independent regiment, that is, the strength of a brigade, and the opponent also has heavy artillery and tanks, once an attack is launched, what defense will he take?

During the call, Nemoto scolded and scolded, and his tone was full of depression:

"Li Yunlong didn't go to eliminate Yoshio Shinozuka and his first army, why did he come to me?"

······

At the same time.

Datongwai, a straight-line distance of 35 kilometers, a county seat through which the Tongpu Railway passes.

Sneer...

Under the longing gaze of the commander of the 7.73rd Regiment and the commander of the 7.79th Regiment, the steaming train finally stopped.

"It's finally here."

Looking at the carriages behind the front of the car, his eyes focused on the 105 howitzer and the 105 mountain gun covered with artillery jackets on the door of the carriage, and the two of them had smiles on their faces at the same time.

The first batch was a test, and only one regiment of the 772nd Regiment was expanded and reequipped.

Now the test effect is excellent, the large regiment of nearly 4,000 people has strong combat effectiveness, mobility can also be guaranteed, the 772nd regiment has shown strong combat effectiveness, so the second batch has been expanded from the original three regiments to six regiments.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower, in fact, there could be more, ten, twenty would not be a problem, and a large number of 105 barreled guns had recently flowed out of Zhao Jiayu, and the weapons and equipment were completely sufficient.

Of the three regiments that were added, two of them were included.

"Hurry up and train."

At the same time, voices rang in the ears of the two:

"We must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, next month, we have a combat mission, if anyone drags its feet..."

"Yes."

The two saluted in unison.

After the speaker left, the two regimental commanders, while directing the troops to receive the equipment, began to mutter:

"Lee... Yunlong sent 10,000 people over, tanks and heavy artillery, plus our people, the total strength is twice that of the devil's army in Mongolia, it seems that there is a big move this time. ”

When talking about Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment was obviously stuck.

After all.

Grand Master Li's treatment has been improved again, and he has been promoted two levels in a row!

Of course, the political commissar Zhao, who formed a construction brigade and commanded Zhao Jiayu's base to rescue and accommodate more than the seven-figure victims who started with three, was also at the same level as Li Yunlong!

And the two of them are the same boss as Li Yunlong.

"It's definitely a big move, and it's probably not smaller than last time."

The other regiment commander's tone was full of anticipation:

"Although we are only responsible for handling the leftovers this time, we can definitely have a full meal."

······

In the afternoon of the same day.

The rightmost part of Zhao Jiayu's base area, that is, the most edge of the Luliang Mountains.

"Here are seven thousand barrels of aviation gasoline and a hundred tons of bombs."

A detachment leader of the transport brigade of the Independent Regiment pointed to the supplies behind him and said:

"Count and inspect the goods."

The preserved fruit transport team that came to meet them looked at the materials piled up in the warehouse behind, the barrels of fuel, the bombs loaded in wooden boxes, and the ten-wheeled trucks parked near the warehouse, and swallowed their saliva in unison.

Although the material handover between the two sides has been carried out many times, and I have seen this group of people many times, I still can't control the envy in my heart.

They were responsible for transporting fuel to the airfields where the Americans were stationed, and they were equipped with the best equipment, and of course there were trucks, but they were old and complex.

Compared with the configuration of all the military ten-wheeled trucks of this group of people, it is far worse.

"This is for your regular fuel, for cars."

The captain of the transport detachment said, pointing to the thousands of oil drums in a warehouse.

"Thank you."

The person in charge of the preserved fruit transport team led by him expressed his solemn gratitude.

With this fuel, they can transport it much more easily, and they can transport it much faster, and they can get fuel and bombs to airfields with Americans faster.

"Who do we want?"

The captain of the transport team asked.

Aviation gasoline and bombs, the Americans paid for it, but ordinary gasoline, it was not bought by the Americans.

"Brought."

As he spoke, a group of people came out of the preserved fruit procession, about two hundred, men, women, and children, many of whom were carrying large bags and small bags.

Among this group of people, there were four skilled workers, Xiao Chen and Lao Chen, from the 28th Arsenal.
