This is also the reason why he has always wanted to bomb Tokyo.
In the past, after all, the Chinese army could not defeat the Japanese army.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Chinese military is to drive the Japanese out of China.
As for counterattacking the Japanese mainland, they can only think about it at most. Many people even dare not think about it. After all, the gap between China and Japan is like a chasm.
However, the Eighth Route Army now has some strength.
Although there is still some distance from counterattacking the Japanese mainland, some retaliation against the Japanese mainland can already be implemented.
"Only small-scale bombing can be carried out in the early stage."
Li Yunlong spoke harshly:
"When we have more pilots and strategic bombers, we can carry out large-scale bombings. Labor and capital will turn Japan into a scorched earth."
Li Yunlong is not bragging, but a goal he wants to achieve from the bottom of his heart.
I couldn't even think about it before, but now as long as we work hard to kill the Japanese, there is nothing we can't do.
When Li Yunlong accepted the Italian cannon from Boss Chen in Cangyunling, the gears of his fate had already begun to turn.
Who would have thought that a young boy who weaved baskets in the Dabie Mountains would become a powerful figure in the world in the future?
Zhao Gang nodded: "Lao Li, no matter what decision you make, I will fully support and cooperate with you!"
"What about the decision that violates the principles?" Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, "You also fully support and cooperate with it?"
"That depends on the specific matter." Zhao Gang smiled slightly, not being fooled by Li Yunlong at all.
If Zhao Gang supports the decision that violates his principles, then Li Yunlong will not be allowed to go to heaven in the future?
"That's boring." Li Yunlong pursed his lips, thinking that Lao Zhao was also a king of words, and his words were better than his singing.
Zhao Gang checked in his notebook, changed the subject, and smiled broadly: "Lao Li, we have made a lot of money in this battle. All the businesses in the past two years combined have not made as much money as this time!"
"For other businesses, Boss Chen gave specific numbers of weapons and ammunition, military and civilian factory equipment, and combat supplies."
"How are you going to spend the 182,000 Japanese quota?"
When they were with Chen Feng, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang used to call Chen Feng Brother Chen, which seemed cordial.
When they are not together, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both like to call them Boss Chen, which shows that Chen Feng is rich and wealthy.
Li Yunlong lay down on the chair and crossed his legs: "How to spend the 182,000 Japanese quota? Then I have to think about it."
At Boss Chen's place, the amount for killing the Japanese is equivalent to currency, which can be exchanged for all combat supplies, weapons and ammunition.
At this time, Li Yunlong felt like a nouveau riche who had just made a fortune.
Bold and arrogant.
"Don't worry, save it first."
After thinking for a long time, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said:
"Let the troops rest first, send a telegram to the head of the headquarters, report the contents of this business, and invite the head of the headquarters to move the headquarters to Taiyuan as soon as possible."
Li Yunlong is still waiting for the head of the headquarters to formulate the next strategic approach.
Then the new regiment will be reorganized and expanded, rested and trained, adapted to new equipment and improved combat effectiveness.
The new regiment also suffered casualties in this battle, but the casualties were not large.
Moreover, after this large-scale battle, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment has been qualitatively improved.
The tactical coordination between the various arms such as air and ground, infantry and tank coordination became more skillful, hundreds of thousands of Japanese were eliminated, and the morale of the troops became stronger.
This time, Li Yunlong planned to expand the number of troops by 50,000 at a time, and expand the new regiment's troops to about 100,000.
In addition, the amount of business earned this time was huge. In the past, a few hundred cannons were considered big business, and Li Yunlong only needed to hand over half of it to the headquarters.
The business earned from this battle, the weapons, ammunition and combat supplies seized were like a big cake.
Of course, this piece of cake must be allocated by the head of the headquarters.
Of course, no matter how the head of the headquarters makes the final allocation, the headquarters will definitely get the bulk of the new regiment.
Secondly, the 129th Division, the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region and other fraternal units also participated in the meeting.
"fair enough."
Zhao Gang nodded.
At this moment, Wang Dehou walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "Captain, political commissar, Deputy Commander
There are workers and engineers who have already departed from Heyuan County Station and are expected to arrive at Taiyuan Station around 10 o'clock tonight."
Li Yunlong said: "Chief of Staff, there is a new situation now. We will bomb Tokyo and the Japanese military port in the near future. Don't worry about Xincheng Airport for now, and focus on repairing Wusu Airport. Wusu Airport must be repaired within a week."
Wusu Airport was severely damaged, with the runway bombed, infrastructure bombed, and oil depots and ammunition depots bombed.
Li Yunlong's previous order was that Wusu Airport and Xincheng Airport should be repaired together, which would take half a month.
Fortunately, there is no need to re-select the airport's runway. The airport's runway is ready-made, and not all the artillery shells have been blown up. The runway only needs to be re-paved and filled with high-grade cement.
After the runway is repaired, aircraft can be parked. As for the airport's pilot dormitories, ammunition depots, oil depots, towers and other buildings, they can be slowly repaired.
"Yes, leader."
Wang Dehou accepted the order, but quickly guessed the reason and asked tentatively:
"Boss Chen has already been here?"
"That's right!" Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Chief of Staff, this is the transaction price given to us by Boss Chen. You prepare a telegram and send it to the headquarters, and request the head of the headquarters to move the headquarters to Taiyuan as soon as possible."
Wang Dehou took the notebook and looked at it, then his eyes suddenly opened wide.
In great joy, Wang Dehou read the price of this transaction.
"Yes, I will draft a telegram and send it to the head of the headquarters." Wang Dehou smiled broadly.
…
Southeast Shanxi.
The county seat of Liao County.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"Chief, several combat advisers from the staff department just used a scale to calculate that the land area we recovered in this battle exceeds 500 square kilometers."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the operations hall, the chief of staff reported to the chief with a smile:
"Recovered 1 provincial capital and 5 county towns including Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Jingxing County, recovered the Zhengtai Railway, and eliminated more than 130,000 Japanese."
"As soon as our clear telegram and Xinhua Daily were sent out, congratulatory messages from all parties came one after another."
Next to the chief of staff, the division commander and the chief stood with their hands clasped, with smiles on their faces.
The results of this battle exceeded the expectations of all headquarters leaders.
After defeating Taiyuan, the division commander left some troops in Taigu, Shanxi and other places, and then returned to southeastern Shanxi with the main force.
In addition, troops of the 129th Division are also stationed in Shouyang, Yangquan and Niangziguan.
Looking at the map, most of Shanxi became the territory of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
In addition, the YA man sent three commendation telegrams in a row, which made the chief even more happy.
"Chief, Li Yunlong is urging me again. When will you move the headquarters to Taiyuan?" The division commander looked at the chief and smiled.
A few days ago, Li Yunlong had sent a telegram to the headquarters, requesting the headquarters to send professionals to Taiyuan to hunt down Japanese agents and spies.
In fact, it is for the safety of the head of the headquarters.
"There is no rush to move the headquarters to Taiyuan. What other actions are there from the Second War Zone Commander's Department?" the chief asked.
"Other than sending two congratulatory and commendation telegrams, Yan Laoxi did not do anything else."
The chief of staff replied:
"The Jinsui Army troops in Luliang Mountain were also very calm and did not make any extraordinary moves. It is said that Yan Laoxi has crossed the Yellow River westward to Qiulin Town."
The division commander smiled slightly: "I guess Yan Laoxi feels bad. He has worked hard in Taiyuan for decades, but he didn't expect that Taiyuan would eventually fall into the hands of our Eighth Route Army."
None of the leaders had a good impression of Yan Laoxi.
During the Red Army period, Yan Laoxi sent the Shanxi-Sui Army to attack the Red Army. During the Anti-Japanese War, frictions were often provoked, and guerrillas and progressives were arrested and killed.
At this moment, a telegraph operator walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.
"Report to the commander!" The telegraph operator gave a military salute, "Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment, just sent a secret message about the transaction price of this battle!"
In the telegram, Li Yunlong only reported the transaction price of this battle.
He did not report the new business matters. He planned to report in person after the head of the headquarters arrived in Taiyuan.
The eyes of the commander, chief of staff, division commander, and the busy combat staff all brightened.
The chief of staff took the telegram and read it, reading as he read:
"500 new 122mm howitzers, 240 152mm howitzers, 160 Katyusha rocket launchers, and 100 self-propelled 155mm howitzers."
"..."
As the chief of staff read each sentence, the smiles on the faces of the chiefs grew stronger.
After reading the last sentence of 262 75mm mountain cannons, the chief's face showed a strong sense of happiness.
The teacher pushed up the black round glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Boss, I congratulate you on getting rich!"
"In one week, the headquarters will be moved to Taiyuan." The leader gave the order with a smile on his face.
…
Tokyo.
Prime Minister's Office.
"Waste Okamura Neji."
Japanese Prime Minister Hideji Tojo was cursing and was about to get up and go to the Locust Palace to meet the locusts.
Tojo had already discussed with his staff that the Japanese army could not abandon North China, and was preparing to let General Kenji Dohi go to Peiping to serve as the commander of the North China Front.
As for Okamura Neiji, he can only be recalled to his homeland to serve as a reserve.
After all, Okamura Neiji was a Japanese army general who had shed blood for the Locusts and had made meritorious service to the empire. It was impossible for Okamura to have a caesarean section to apologize.
However, Okamura Neiji's military career stopped here, and he became a marginalized figure in the Japanese army from then on.
But at this moment, a major general's staff officer hurried in with a telegram in his hand and reported to Tojo Hideki with an ugly face.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister."
"Admiral Yamamoto of the Navy just sent a telegram."
"The Navy's Combined Fleet was defeated by the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Midway Island, losing four main aircraft carriers, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, one cruiser, more than 300 aircraft, and more than 3,000 naval soldiers."
"Nani?"
When Tojo Hideji heard this, his face suddenly showed an expression of incredible shock.
Immediately after receiving the telegram from the Rear Admiral's staff and reading it, Tojo couldn't help but cursed: "This group of navy red deer are a bunch of waste, and Yamamoto Isoroku is also a waste..."
The news of the defeat at Midway Island made Hideji Tojo break into a cold sweat, and Alexander.
A few months ago, Tojo Eiji was very proud.
In less than half a year, the Japanese army, with less than 300,000 troops, swept across Hong Kong, the Malay Archipelago, and the Indochina Peninsula, while its navy did whatever it wanted. The gunboats pointed at almost all the islands and reefs in the entire Western Pacific.
, the Japanese army's arrogance melted the entire Asia and the Pacific.
However, the army suffered a disastrous defeat in North China and the navy suffered a disastrous defeat at Midway. Reality slapped Tojo twice in the face. At this time, Tojo's whole head was buzzing.
