Chapter 910 Li Yunlong: Chief, let me show you the big treasure!
Both the Japanese army and navy suffered defeats.
Tojo Hideji was scolded bloody by Japanese locusts.
But Tojo Hideji came up with a clever plan.
The top leaders claimed to the Japanese people at the bottom that the army had a great victory in North China, severely damaging the recently rising Eighth Route Army, and that the navy had a great victory at Midway, severely damaging the U.S. Navy.
The Japanese people who did not know the truth believed it and took to the streets to celebrate the victory.
In this way, Tojo Hideji easily resolved the potential domestic conflicts caused by the defeat.
was able to continue to serve as Prime Minister.
At present, the locusts also need Tojo chickens to control the situation.
However, changes in the internal situation of the country that had been depleted by the war also put Tojo on the verge of political bankruptcy.
Originally Tojo Hideji wanted Dohi Madoka Kenji to serve as the commander of the North China Front.
However, Dohi Maronkenji said that he was ill and very seriously ill and could not go to North China to serve as the commander of the North China Front.
I understand everything.
Dohi Madoka Kenji is well aware that North China is a murky water, and he has already lost several senior agents in North China.
and.
Hisao Fururu, Teichi Yoshimoto, Michichi Miyano and Naosaburo Okabe were all killed by the Eighth Route Army when they went to North China. Could he survive?
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the old and cunning Toichi Madoka Kenji to go to the commander of the North China Front at this time.
The old Japanese even suspected that there were senior Eighth Route Army spies hiding in the base camp.
At this time, Tojo Eiji selected several more generals, but they were all declined for various reasons.
Although Hideji Tojo is the Prime Minister and holds great power, all of these generals have high backgrounds, and there is really nothing he can do if they don't go to North China.
After scolding these generals, Tojo prepared to put all these generals into the reserve force.
In this regard, these generals dared not speak out in anger. It was better to be included in the reserve than to lose their lives.
After losing his temper, Hideji Tojo could only let Neji Okamura continue to serve as commander of the North China Front.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley, North China Front Army Headquarters.
The news that the base camp let Okamura Neiji continue to serve as the commander of the North China Front reached the North China Front headquarters.
"Yoshi!"
Okamura Neiji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the communications staff read the telegram.
It is both unexpected and reasonable.
Although Okamura Neiji guessed that no general would be willing to come to North China to serve as the commander of the North China Front.
But after the order from the base camp arrived, the stone in Neji Okamura's heart finally fell to the ground.
After suffering so many defeats, more than 250,000 officers and soldiers under his command were killed, and a total of 39 generals were killed in North China.
If it were an ordinary senior military officer, his mentality would have exploded long ago.
Of course, Neji Okamura was the same, his mentality exploded several times, and he fainted several times when he heard the report of defeat.
But Okamura Neiji's ability to adjust his mentality was second to none among Japanese military officers.
He was unwilling to fail and wanted to make a comeback.
"We must apply to the base camp for 10 divisions to reinforce North China, as well as 100,000 tons of combat supplies and a flying division."
Okamura Neiji knew very well that the Eighth Route Army was becoming more and more powerful now, and with the little capital he had left, he would definitely not be a match for the Eighth Route Army.
If you want to defeat the Eighth Route Army, you must have elite troops, a large amount of combat materials, and extremely important air superiority.
Even if the Japanese army does not have air superiority, the Eighth Route Army must not have air superiority.
A flying division of the Locust Army should be able to pose a threat to the aviation force of the Eighth Route Army, right?
After a pause, Okamura Neji looked at Communications Staff Officer Haruo Kitani who came to report: "Kutani-kun, immediately send a report to the base camp, requesting 15 divisions, 150,000 tons of combat supplies, and two flying divisions to reinforce North China. We
We must eliminate Tubalu in one fell swoop!"
Neiji Okamura naturally knew that it was impossible for the base camp to mobilize so many troops, combat supplies and aircraft for him.
However, Okamura Neji has long figured out the rules.
If you ask more, the base camp will give you less.
If the base camp does not want to give up North China, it will definitely mobilize troops, combat supplies and aircraft for the North China Front.
"Hi."
Kitani Haruo lowered his head and answered.
"Release Deputy Chief of Staff Yumo Seizo, promote him to lieutenant general, and serve as chief of staff of the North China Front."
Okamura Neji said again.
The chief of staff of the North China Front should be promoted from among the division commanders, preferably from a staff officer background.
Previously, Okamura Neji was more optimistic about the 37th Division Commander Adachi Ryuzo, but Adachi Ryuzo was already loyal to Tian Locust.
Among the current division commanders under the North China Front, there is no candidate that Okamura Neiji is optimistic about.
However, after investigation by Okamura Neiji, it was found that during the past one or two years when he served as the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Yumo Seizan had been too focused on his career and had no chance to pass on information to the Eighth Route Army.
Tanabe Shengwu was also shattered, and it should be impossible for him to be a spy for the Eighth Route Army.
At present, if a lieutenant general is transferred from the base camp or other front armies to serve as the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, there will definitely be no one willing to come.
To take a step back, even if Mo Jingsan is really a spy of the Eighth Route Army, he can still pull the trick.
Through Youmo Jingsan, he conveyed the false combat plan to the Eighth Route Army.
"In addition, Major General Kazuki Yamamoto, who is in Shimen City, is ordered to report to the Peiping Headquarters immediately and serve as deputy chief of staff of the North China Front."
Okamura Neji continued.
He has already seen Yamamoto Kazuki's resume, and he can be said to be an excellent person.
Yamamoto graduated from the Imperial Army University, and later went to the Munich Military Academy in Germany for further study. He became obsessed with special tactics. After returning to China, he formed the Yamamoto Special Agent Team, served the Kwantung Army, and participated in the Battle of Nomonkan.
He personally led a special agent team to behead the Eighth Route Army headquarters and failed. However, in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Yamamoto's special agent team performed well and successfully beheaded a lieutenant general and a major general division commander of the national army.
The seizure of the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank weapon bazooka and infantry artifact walkie-talkie were all done by Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team.
Okamura Neiji analyzed that Yamamoto Kazuki was not a spy of the Eighth Route Army.
At present, Okamura Neiji is in urgent need of a deputy chief of staff, so Okamura Neiji thought of Yamamoto Kazuki.
"Hi."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kiya Haruo lowered his head, and seeing that Okamura Neji did not continue to issue orders, he closed the folder and turned to leave.
After Haruo Kitani left, Okamura Neji turned around and stared at the map on the wall, frowning involuntarily.
Even though the base camp mobilized a large number of combat troops, combat supplies and aviation units for him.
This battle is not easy to fight either.
Regardless of whether the main battlefield is in Mongolia or the North China Plain, the Eighth Route Army's superiority in firepower and strength can be fully utilized.
Okamura Neiji knew very well that when dealing with the Eighth Route Army, one must never underestimate the enemy's carelessness.
However, the Eighth Route Army was not without its weaknesses.
"To deal with the new Eighth Route Army, it seems that new tactics are needed."
Okamura Neji narrowed his eyes.
…
a week later.
Taiyuan.
"My great leaders, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally you are here!"
As soon as he saw the leader and chief of staff, Li Yunlong greeted him warmly and gave him a military salute.
Beside Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and others also saluted with military salutes.
Deputy Commander Xing is still building a base in northwestern Shanxi.
"Li Yunlong, why are you so anxious to urge us to move our headquarters to Taiyuan?"
The chief of staff lightly punched Li Yunlong in the chest and asked with a smile.
Several leaders, escorted by the Langya Special Forces Brigade directly under the headquarters, arrived in Taiyuan first. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang personally went to the city gate to greet them.
The party and government organs of the headquarters, the Northern Bureau, the communications team, as well as the special agent battalion, artillery battalion, armored battalion and other units directly under the headquarters are all on their way to Taiyuan.
With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, after capturing Taiyuan, there is no need to worry about the Japanese counterattack.
The headquarters no longer has to live in a fixed location like before, having to move every ten days and a half.
The current headquarters can definitely be located in Taiyuan.
"Didn't I miss the chiefs?" Li Yunlong said with a smile, "Our army has made a fortune and we drink and eat meat all day long, so we can't forget the chiefs, right?"
The chief suddenly laughed and said: "You have a conscience!"
Wang Dehou also smiled and said: "Our group leader has been saying every day why the head of the headquarters hasn't come yet, and now he has finally come."
"Chief, please get in the car and I will take you to see the big baby."
Li Yunlong calmed down and asked the head of the headquarters to get on the armored vehicle that had been prepared.
"What baby?"
Seeing Li Yunlong being so mysterious, the chief and chief of staff asked.
"You will know when it arrives, it is definitely a big treasure!" Li Yunlong said.
Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou laughed and said nothing.
With curious expressions, the leader and chief of staff got into the armored vehicle, but the convoy did not enter Taiyuan, but drove south along the city wall.
"Li Yunlong, where are we going?" asked the commander on the armored vehicle.
"Go to the airport." Li Yunlong replied with a smile, "You will know when we get there, he is definitely a big guy."
Since Yangcun Airport is not big, in order to make room for medium bombers, all five transport planes from Yangcun Airport flew to northwestern Shanxi.
Therefore, although Wusu Airport has been repaired, the chief ministers all come to Taiyuan by car.
Although the speed is slow, it only takes one day to arrive.
The head of the headquarters could see the new regiment of soldiers patrolling all the way, and immediately felt a sense of security. The convoy galloped all the way and arrived at Wusu Airport in less than half an hour.
"This is?"
As soon as they entered the airport, the commander and the chief of staff saw dozens of big planes parked on the airport runway, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The motorcade stopped on the runway, everyone got out of the car and looked at the big guy in front of them with wide eyes.
"Chief, Chief of Staff, look, this is the big treasure I want to show you."
Li Yunlong pointed at the bomber, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "This is a heavy-duty long-range bomber with a maximum range of 7,000 kilometers and a bomb load of 10 tons."
"These are 50 heavy long-range bombers that I exchanged for 100 aircraft credits."
"Boss Chen just delivered the goods yesterday."
"How about it, Chief, Chief of Staff, do you like these big babies of mine?"
"good!"
The chief nodded, his expression and tone extremely satisfied:
"This thing is really big. You gave us another surprise!"
The telegram Li Yunlong ordered to be sent to the head of the headquarters about the business did not mention the heavy long-range bomber, just to give the head of the headquarters a surprise.
"Heavy long-range bomber, maximum range of 7,000 kilometers, bomb load of 10 tons..."
The chief of staff on the side looked at the bomber, then looked at Li Yunlong, and his tone suddenly rose:
