I really came here to fight against Japan

It no longer matters why the Akita United suffered a crushing defeat.

Several division commanders, including Hayata Chiken, pleaded for the commander of the Akita regiment.

Yoshio Shinozuka took this opportunity to bypass him.

Now Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army has only two things to do.

The first thing is to stabilize several defense lines in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The second thing is to concentrate the main force to recover those strongholds.

Yoshio Shinozuka had long disliked Tomohisa Hayata, so he just happened to send him back to the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Aren’t you, Hayata, the deputy commander of the First Army? I’ll leave the operation to you to confront the National Army!

Hayata no longer wanted to stay in Taiyuan City and see Yoshio Shinozuka's ugly face.

He happily returned to his 35th Division.

Yoshio Shinozuka's happiness didn't last long before he suddenly became extremely furious.

His adjutant, Captain Ono Jipi, had already received an appointment from the North China Front Army and followed Hayata to the 35th Division.

Hayata fulfilled his promise, and the commission of the 305th Division, Major Chief of Staff, was finally handed over to Ono Jipi.

Yoshio Shinozuka of Taiyuan angrily questioned Commander Tada of the North China Expeditionary Army afterwards.

He was not aware of the reason why his adjutant Ono was transferred in advance.

Commander Tada only replied with one sentence, "This is an order from the headquarters," and sent him away.

It was also easy to reoccupy the stronghold. The Eighth Route Army moved away all the materials that needed to be moved, and then naturally retreated.

But the Japanese returned to their original stronghold, and they were so worried that they almost cried.

The people of Shanxi have a very difficult life. They even spared no effort to use the bricks used to build the watchtowers.

Two weeks later, the returning Japanese soldiers were so sad to cry as they looked at the empty plain.

Nourished by the blood of the Japanese devils, the grass on the flat ground has grown more than an inch high.

The Japanese had no choice but to capture civilians everywhere and help them rebuild the artillery tower.

Not only did they have to repair the artillery towers, they also had to rebuild the roads and trenches.

It took the people of Shanxi three months to repair the road trench.

When the Eighth Route Army launched a raid, it was leveled and filled up in just one day.

Now the Japanese have come back again, asking the people to continue the reconstruction. Unexpectedly, it will take another three months.

Building roads is relatively easy, but restoring railways is much more difficult.

If the Eighth Route Army had the conditions, they transported large quantities of railroad tracks back to the border base.

The sleepers were easy to deal with, as they were simply turned into firewood for the villagers.

If there are no conditions, just put the rails on the sleepers, pour kerosene on them and start burning.

When the Japanese came to build the railway, there was nothing there except molten iron.

There is no other way. The Japanese have to build roads.

Without road and rail transportation, various ores and coal from Shanxi cannot be transported back to the mainland of Japan.

The Japanese army couldn't let the reinforcements come here on foot, traveling thousands of miles.

Therefore, building roads and railways has become the top priority of the Japanese.

This time, the Eighth Route Army's raid was surprisingly effective.

Not only did they accomplish the task of destroying the enemy's transportation lines, but they also killed and wounded many enemies and seized many spoils.

Because the firepower of each unit was strengthened, they turned the raid into a recovery war.

You have to know that the troops will leave after the battle and will not capture any spoils.

But now it is different. The more we fight this war, the fatter we get.

Even the militiamen who came to help had all changed into Type 38 rifles.

This unexpected surprise made the leaders very happy.

Song Wenwan saw that there was nothing wrong here and she could help.

After packing their luggage, Song Wenwan led Sun Desheng and others to evacuate Shanxi overnight and return to the rear area in Gannan.

After they returned, they immediately summarized all the usage data of the new weapons and handed it to Zhou Weiguo for summary.

He himself took the Air Force personnel and rushed to the Air Force One training (command) base.

"Hahahaha, I have to thank Commander Song this time.

It allowed an old man like me to go to the battlefield and kill two little devils face to face."

The person who spoke was Commander Chen Zhikuan of the Gannan Navy.

He is now over fifty years old, and Song Wenwan once promised to let him go out and fight the Japanese.

He and the young men from the Marine Brigade practiced army tactics for a whole year.

Only then did Song Wenwan approve him to follow the Marine Brigade to Shanxi to fight the Japanese.

This time he finally got what he wanted. He shot and killed two Japanese devils with his own hands and avenged his former naval brothers.

The Navy Commander came to the Air Force for a meeting today, also because of Song Wenwan, in preparation for the establishment of the Naval Aviation Force.

The flight training deck of the aircraft carrier is already in Song Wenwan's system.

He estimated that after 1942, there would be an opportunity to cooperate with the US Navy, so he was preparing for a rainy day.

Lin Muchun also attended the meeting and brought back a special piece of information.

"Commander Song, Political Commissar Mo, Chairman Cheng, here is an important intelligence.

This is a joint investigation report from Yang Liren, the air defense chief of the temporary capital. "

After the information was handed to Song Wenwan, Lin Muchun continued to repeat the content of the information.

"According to Director Yang Liren's description, on the afternoon of August 16 and the morning of August 17.

Twelve aircraft from the National Army's Nanchang Field Airport disappeared unexpectedly twice during routine patrols.

The day before, six Hawk-3 fighter planes flew away and never came back.

At first, I thought they had met with an accident and encountered Japanese planes.

So on the next day, they sent out six more fighter jets to search.

The result was always the same, they didn't fly back.

Now the National Army's air force over there was in a panic and quickly changed its direction.

Now they couldn't figure out whether these planes were shot down by the enemy, or whether they all... defected.

Later, news finally came back that some people had seen flashes of fire in the sky.

Some ordinary people also found the wreckage of Kuomintang aircraft in the wild areas of the Japanese-controlled areas.

According to the analysis of our air force in the temporary capital, those planes were likely to have crashed within a very short period of time.

Because the air combat was so short, all the pilots of the National Army died for their country.

Before they could send back any messages, they were shot down by Japanese air forces. "

Political Commissar Mo's eyes gleamed: "Commander Song, you said the Japanese planes are so powerful.

Could it be the Japanese Zero fighter you mentioned before?"

Song Wenwan nodded and said, "This is very possible, or in other words, it is possible to shoot down six fighter planes of the National Army in a very short time.

It was so fast that no one noticed the battle, so it was certain.

This is our next opponent, the Japanese army's new Zero fighter."

Seeing that everyone was still talking, Song Wenwan knocked on the table and everyone quieted down.

Looking at Governor Cheng and Political Commissar Mo, they both looked serious and were waiting for him to speak.

Song Wenwan silently took a sip of tea, still thinking proudly in her heart, a real man should be like this!

He was unexpectedly punched in the thigh by the recorder behind him, our comrade Zhu Bei.

"Are you done yet? Go on, if you have anything to say!"
