Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 650: Okamura Neji’s Determination

The ** Division Air Force killed all the winged Japanese in North China in one fell swoop. Tang Qiuli held a celebration banquet at Huiquanlou, the most famous restaurant in Jinan. Naturally, there was a lot of joy and laughter. Tang Qiuli believed that the value of this meal was not only

Therefore, the pilots, who had received both spiritual and material rewards, were still struggling to find trouble with the Japanese, which was easier than doing pre-war mobilization a hundred times.

It was only in the morning of the next day that Okamura Neiji received the news that the dispatched army's air force was almost completely wiped out. The two garrison commanders in Peking and Tianjin spent almost the whole night discussing how to use the most euphemistic tone to convey this to everyone.

The news about the cerebral hemorrhage of the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force told him that it would be impossible not to tell him.

The result of the night's discussion was this telegram in the hand of Okamura Neiji: "Your Excellency, Commander, yesterday between 8 and 10 o'clock in the morning, our airports in Peking and Tianjin were suddenly attacked by the China Air Force, and all airport facilities were destroyed.

, the ground staff were all in pieces, and there was no hope of returning it to use within a year. According to statistics, all the equipment was lost.

When the bombers and 213 fighters were attacked, the fighters and bombers at Peiping Airport had already taken off to carry out your mission of blocking the supply lines of the Japanese Army. The losses were also quite huge. The remaining ones landed at Jinzhou Airport and Tianjin Airport.

All planes were destroyed. Details are under investigation and will be reported later.”

There was a "bang" in Neji Okamura's head. The cold spring wind in North China made him shiver. It was all over. The air force he had worked so hard to build was all destroyed in one morning. After reading this logic

After receiving the chaotic telegram, Okamura Neji felt blood rushing straight to his forehead, and there was no words in his mouth.

He stopped and yelled "Baga, Baga". He couldn't understand why Peking's planes were already in the sky, so they still suffered huge losses. He knew very well that the number of planes owned by the Japanese Army was only more than forty. The Imperial Army's

The Air Eagle has more than 120 fighter jets in Peiping alone. How could it suffer a loss?

He really didn't understand, and neither did the garrison commanders in Peking and Tianjin. One hundred and two against forty, how could they suffer a loss and almost be wiped out? In fact, they guessed wrong, it was one hundred and two against eight.

However, no matter how hard Neji Okamura tried, he could not guess that Tang Qiuli had created an auxiliary fuel tank that was released more than ten years in advance. The reason was that only the lucky ones among the Japanese pilots who escaped to Jinzhou Airport understood in their hearts that their

The plane is out of fuel.

When we flew to Jinzhou Airport, we had already landed by gliding, and more than thirty planes fell. As for the number of people who were flying and fell to the ground, Le Yiqin guessed it correctly and was able to survive.

There were only about twenty Japanese pilots on the ground, and they were also flying "Zero" fighter jets. How could the Chinese aircraft persist for such a long time? This incident made the entire aviation industry in Japan depressed, and they vowed to find the reason.

, I didn’t understand it until the defeat.

The Japanese couldn't figure it out, so they cleverly came up with a solution. Isn't it just to let the plane stay in the sky for a while? It was an easy solution. They started to increase the fuel tank of the "Zero" fighter, which increased the fuel capacity by nearly half.

First, it sacrifices the flexibility and maneuverability of the aircraft, and the overall integrity of the aircraft

The performance has not improved. In the future Pacific battlefield, the "Zero" was beaten to a pulp by the American "P-51" Mustang fighter. Perhaps this was the hidden root cause of this incident. The instigator, Tang Qiuli, did not know the secret.

Mysterious, unintentionally helped the Americans.

Okamura Neiji was angry and his heartbeat was racing. Even if he cut off the heads of those two idiots, it would not help. People on the ground could not control the things in the sky. They paid such a high price. Don't call this

Huangyadong was destroyed to the ground. Neji Okamura would never withdraw his troops. This was where Tang Qiuli’s life depended. Only by destroying Huangyadong, Tang Qiuli’s supply center, could the war situation in North China be fundamentally changed.

change.

Fighting with large corps consumes an astonishing amount of materials and ammunition. Neji Okamura, who is good at this, certainly understands the key. Why did Tang Qiuli fight with hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, cutting off the main arteries of the ** division troops?

But it can back up the Pingjin area, and supplies are convenient. When the time comes, when the time comes to find its main force for a decisive battle, the China devil has to spit out what he got. This is why Okamura Neji must find the supply base of the Japanese Army and do everything possible to destroy it.

the only reason.

Whether it is said that Okamura Neji has grasped the key points of the North China War, or that he is stubborn and has fallen into a blind spot in his thinking, in short, Okamura Neji will not swallow the piece of meat that comes to his mouth.

Withdrawing troops from the Taihang Mountains, even if Tang Qiuli beat his ass to pieces in Shijiazhuang, as for Tang Qiuli's troops, there is a supply base far away in Dingbian in northern Shaanxi. The air force that they originally counted on no longer exists.

, we can only take a long-term approach.

The Huangyadong base was discovered by the Japanese army purely by chance. The battle for the outskirts of Shijiazhuang was inextricably fought. Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, plus the four brigades assigned to him by Feng Jiwu, were over 100,000 troops. They were consuming hundreds of thousands of troops every day.

The amount of ammunition is astonishing. Most of the ** division's logistics ammunition factories are located in Huangyadong, also for the convenience of supply.

Nearly a hundred trucks come and go every day. Even though there are secret passages, they unknowingly leave an obvious new road outside. A Japanese search team wandered into this area as if by luck and discovered

There were obviously traces of a large number of vehicles passing by, and he immediately became as excited as a male dog.

The Japanese captain who led the team was very smart. It was abnormal to see traces of cars in the deep mountains. Could this be the location of the supply base of the Chinese army that his boss had repeatedly emphasized? If he followed the ruts and searched into the mountains, it would not be wrong.

I knew I had to go through several ravines and climb over several mountains. Fortunately, I had a compass, so I didn't lose my way. After feeding the wild wolves, and climbing up a mountain ridge with twists and turns, these thirty or so Japanese soldiers were already stretched out from exhaustion.

Tongue, paralyzed on the ground.

Going down the mountain ridge, there is another long valley. The good luck of the Japanese soldiers ends here. This is only more than ten kilometers away from the core area of ​​​​Huangyadong. It is the first line of defense of the Huangyadong base.

A company from Jiang Yanming's department in the Huangyadong Security Brigade is responsible for the security mission.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers showed their heads in the valley, the hidden whistle immediately sounded the alarm. Without waiting to figure out what was going on, traps, hidden weapons and other things, they could just greet them with all their strength without firing a shot.

Later, more than thirty Japanese soldiers were all made into dumplings.

After the company commander and his soldiers had finished disposing of the Japanese corpses, everything was restored to the original state. He did not report the battle to the Huangyadong garrison headquarters. He just wiped out more than thirty people. Such a result was not worth showing off.

, this matter was dropped. Don’t you know that each search team of the Japanese army carried out search tasks according to the areas divided on the map. In the words of Okamura Neiji, every stone in the Taihang Mountains, every

You have to touch every tree.

Moreover, each search team carries a radio and must contact their superiors within the specified time. Otherwise, it will be regarded as an unexpected situation and another search team will be sent. This is really what happened. Two days later

, another Japanese search team disappeared in this area, and two search teams disappeared one after another, which had to attract the attention of the Japanese commander.

He ordered several search teams in the nearby area to focus on searching this area. The secret could no longer be hidden. Although several Japanese search teams were all killed quickly, the radio station carried by the Japanese army sent out information.

This information only had time to knock on the power plant a few times. The Japanese radio operator who sent the report and the radio were blown to pieces by grenades.

Four words, "already discovered", were enough. The commander of the Japanese search force who learned the news, as if he had found a treasure, immediately sent the information to Okamura Neji, whose eyes turned blue with anticipation. Okamura Neji was overjoyed.

He murmured a Chinese idiom "hard work pays off". Of course, he said it in their bird language.

The battle at the first cordon outside the Huangyadong base was reported to Chang Feng, chief of staff of the ** Division and commander-in-chief of the Huangyadong garrison headquarters. At this time, five days had passed since the first battle.

, Chang Feng was furious, dismissed the company commander and sent him to the Military Justice Department, and then,

A battle alert was issued to all troops in the base. Japanese squads came here one after another. Chang Feng knew very well that the hidden veil of Huangya Cave would soon be revealed, and what would follow would be an arduous defense.

Fight, Okamura Neji will never let go of this valuable goal.

However, Chang Feng was not prepared to be passively beaten. The troops dispersed in various defense positions all withdrew into strong fortifications, concentrated their forces to defend the third line of defense, and placed a reinforced regiment on the periphery for response, and were ready.

, he still hopes that the Japanese army will not discover this place, although this is a luxury hope.

Okamura Neji, who smelled the fishy smell, immediately ordered a brigade near Huangyadong to attack immediately, and mobilized nearby troops to move closer to Huangyadong. A brigade with more than 10,000 Japanese troops marched toward Huangyadong overnight.

Approaching around the cliff cave, there is a cavalry brigade at the front, with countless infantry in the middle, and a regiment carrying heavy artillery. Following closely behind, a group of vicious wolves swooped over. The road where the trucks ran out became a heavily equipped Japanese army.

transportation routes.

Neither Okamura Neiji nor the Japanese brigade commander paid much attention to the garrison strength of Huangyadong. How many troops can a logistics supply base have? It can only be one or two regiments at best. The imperial army has a whole brigade.

Okamura Neiji wanted to attack with heavy troops. The order he issued was "three lights", burn them all, kill them all, and rob them all. Use this as a standard to check the combat results of the troops.

Little did they know that the Huangyadong base was Tang Qiuli's lifeblood. They had already taken precautions and prepared for rainy days. They deployed two field brigades and a security brigade with nearly 40,000 troops in Huangyadong.

The ** division training and training headquarters here received more than 50,000 recruits, totaling more than 100,000 people, and sent its own chief of staff for unified command.

Okamura Neiji underestimated the garrison strength of Huangyadong, the solid reinforced concrete permanent defenses and firepower points. It would be strange not to suffer a loss. The more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who were hurriedly sent over were just a small test for Chang Feng to practice his skills.
