The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1072 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
... The living Japanese and puppet troops brought out special intelligence news.

As he reported the course of the battle: "In the process of advancing to sweep the Eighth Route Army base in the Quyang area, our troops were unexpectedly blocked by the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army.

The enemy suddenly dispatched air forces to strike, and more than 20 fighter planes roared over our headquarters, dropping bombs and strafing. The enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and the battle was very tragic.

After the bombing, our troops had suffered more than [-]% casualties, and the Eighth Route Army troops took the opportunity to attack and broke through our defense line in one fell swoop, causing our troops to retreat..."

After the news came out, it quickly spread in the Japanese military command system.

The degree of exaggeration and shock can best be described in one sentence - one stone stirs up a thousand waves!

What is the most terrible thing?
The Eighth Route Army has an aviation unit! ! !

"Absolutely impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the First Japanese Army Command in Shanxi, smashed the tea cup in his hand to pieces on the ground in anger.

In his opinion, this is simply a fantasy.

He would rather believe that the aviation unit that participated in this battle and reinforced the Eighth Route Army was the flying unit of the Jiang Army.

But the Eighth Route Army?

How can this be?

Surviving in the cracks in the occupied area, isolated and helpless, with backward equipment and a weak military production base, the former beggar team?
The news that came out not long ago that the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army fighting in the western Mengxi area has already surprised the commanders and officers of the Japanese army at all levels.

At the moment, even the aviation unit has been fiddled with.

Is there anything else these Eighth Route Army can't do?

At this time, Lieutenant Chuan Dao in Yangquan risked his life to send back two photos about the secret airport of a brigade of the Eighth Route Army to the Japanese headquarters.

Since Chuan Dao, who had privately conducted business with Kong Jie's team in the Yangquan area, has now risen, he has been promoted to Zhongzuo, and he is in charge of related intelligence and defense work in the Yangquan area.

Kawashima claimed that through a large number of business contacts, he had already infiltrated the bases of the Eighth Route Army, especially the bases of a detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

These two photos were taken very clearly.

It really is an airport that can be seen at a glance, and there are many fighter jets parked on the airport, including two particularly eye-catching Tunlong heavy bombers.

Such bombers are rare. Last time in the Mengxi area, in order to cope with the Japanese army's tank units against the Eighth Route Army's armored units, Neiji Okamura personally applied for the two heavy-duty aircraft that were transferred from the Army Aviation Unit. bomber.

It was lost at Wuchagou Airport.

At that time, after Kong Jie and Li Yunlong took down the Wuchagou Airport of the Japanese puppet army, they quickly seized all the fighter planes, and then through a complete explosion, the entire airport was blown to pieces.

Even though the Japanese army suspected that the Eighth Route Army might have seized the plane.

At the same time, I had a fluke mentality in my heart, thinking that the Eighth Route Army didn't even have a suitable airport, and probably didn't have any pilots, so how could it be possible to drive the plane away?

To the spread of these two photos.

From this, the Japanese military command can be sure that the Eighth Route Army has indeed stolen all the planes at Wuchagou Airport.

"This is a photo taken by my intelligence personnel who risked their lives to enter the base of a brigade of the Eighth Route Army. There is absolutely no possibility of any falsehood!"

Nakamura Kawashima swears by this.

Then the Eighth Route Army’s propaganda department published relevant reports on the first battle of the First Aviation Unit. There were also a large number of photos published on it, which clearly recorded that a county brigade of the Eighth Route Army was in a head-to-head confrontation with more than 2000 Japanese and puppet troops. How did the Japanese and puppet troops almost be wiped out with the cooperation of the air force.

The big headline of the report is particularly eye-catching:

"The first battle of the Eighth Route Army Air Force created a miracle of war!"

Then to the various subheadings in the report:
"The county brigade wiped out the Japanese invaders with a loss ratio of 0:1500", "an unprecedented miracle", "the Japanese invaders planes will not be rampant since then"...

People from all walks of life who read newspapers went crazy.

This is great news, and the nation is fortunate. This is the exciting news that all people with lofty ideals in the War of Resistance have been looking forward to!

War reporters from various countries flocked to conduct interviews on relevant situations.

Newspapers were quickly distributed in large quantities and spread rapidly through various channels.

It can not only attack the Japanese army with public opinion, but also earn more military expenses for the Eighth Route Army with a large number of newspapers sold.

Nowadays, in the occupied areas of various forces, whether it is the enemy theater, the Kuomintang-controlled area, or the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, all the newspapers published by the Eighth Route Army related to front-line operations are sold out almost immediately. .

Even the Japanese-occupied areas are no exception.

People in the Japanese-occupied areas who have been waiting for the emergence of hope, waiting for the Chinese army to regain the territory and drive out the Japanese invaders, have a greater demand for these spiritual food from the front line.

Hearing that the Eighth Route Army had won the battle, the people cheered throughout the city.

When they heard that the Eighth Route Army was defeated in battle, many people even locked themselves in their homes and wept bitterly.

The soul of the Chinese nation, the same as the enemy, has long been engraved in the bones.

In Beiping, in the North China General Headquarters of the Japanese Army, on the desk of Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the devils, there is also a newspaper issued by the Eighth Route Army today.

Looking at the report about the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit performing a miracle in its first battle and assisting a county brigade with more than a hundred people to achieve an astonishing battle loss ratio of 0 to 1500.

Okamura's face changed from expressionless to serious, and finally turned livid.

This is simply a great shame to the Great Japanese Empire.

It completely humiliated his North China Front Army!
What's more, the Eighth Route Army can bomb a little-known mopping-up force today. After the flying team is ready, will it be able to bomb Taiyuan, Jinan, Beiping, and Shanghai?

It was not just Okamura who had such worries. When Okamura specially strengthened the air defense force of the Beiping Command, the Japanese officers of the other front-line Japanese command moved the headquarters to the air-raid shelter very tacitly.

Uh... be prepared!

"asshole!"

No matter how well-educated he was, he couldn't withstand such an impact. Okamura suddenly realized in his powerless decadence that the rapidly growing Eighth Route Army was almost out of control.

If this battle cannot be won in the end, he may be the commander-in-chief.

Then there was information about the secret aviation base of a detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and there were even two clearer photos.

Judging from the photos, the airport can't be fake.

However, out of caution, Okamura contacted the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Field Division, which was the closest to the detachment, and said to Kazuo Sekimura, the head of the Guizi Division of the Sixth Division, in the communication:
"Be sure to investigate the authenticity of the information. If the situation is true, the Sixth Division will completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's aviation base at all costs, and destroy the so-called First Air Force of the Eighth Route Army!"

Headquarters of the Sixth Field Division of the Japanese Army.

Kazuo Guancun, who had already read the newspapers, was full of depression. He didn't know how to fight this battle.

Regarding the Japanese field brigade that was hit hard by the air force of the Eighth Route Army in cooperation with the county brigade, Guancun also specially called the officers at the time to understand the situation.

This made the old devil feel inexplicably shocked.

Eight Routes really put the air force into combat.

The most troublesome thing for this old devil is that his opponents confuse him. It stands to reason that such a force as the aviation unit should be crucial to the Eighth Route Army.

But these damn Eight Routes didn't play their cards according to common sense at all. They even used flying troops to bomb an ordinary sweeping force, or cooperated with the local armed county brigade to fight.

What worries Guan Cun is that.

What is the strength of the Eighth Route Aviation Force? How many shells and aviation machine guns do they have?Will they choose their own mopping forces at any time in the same way?
These days, the emergence of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit and the blow that may hit the imperial army's head at any time have caused panic among the Japanese and puppet troops.

Who knows that one day when they were fighting the Eighth Route Army, or when they were sweeping up, the enemy's bombers would suddenly appear?

The old devil Guancun also issued a special order to make the mopping up troops strengthen some air defense equipment.

And this did not eliminate the worries in the hearts of the soldiers of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, but aggravated their fears.

The rumors about the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army are also very outrageous.

Some say that the aviation force of the Eighth Route Army is weak, with only ten or twenty fighters.

But later someone said that the Eighth Route Army even had forty or fifty fighter planes, as well as a dozen heavy bombers!

Some puppet troops and Japanese soldiers who survived the first air strike of the Eighth Route Army’s aviation unit even described that the Eighth Route Army’s aviation planes suddenly appeared densely, almost covering the entire sky, and the shells fell like raindrops. The entire mountain was covered, not to mention people, even the rats and insects in the grass, none of them could survive.

The most important thing is that it is hard to guard against!

The aviation units of the Eighth Route Army used all Japanese fighters, which was basically the same as the flying units of the Devils.

Amidst the roar, a large number of fighter planes flew over quickly.

How do you tell the soldiers of the Japanese and Puppet Army to tell whether this is the imperial flying unit or the Eighth Route Army’s aviation unit?
Not to mention that this problem is a headache for the soldiers of the Japanese and puppet troops, it is also a headache for some devil pilots who have recently carried out bombing missions.

They found a problem. When they were performing air fire reinforcement missions in the past few days, they rushed to the place, but they failed to communicate with the ground troops in time.

The imperial soldiers on the ground would even raise their guns and fire at them without hesitation! ! !
This is really far from the big picture, one of us beats one of us?

This also made Guan Cun realize that it is imminent to destroy the Eighth Route Army's airport and destroy the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit.

Guan Cun, who didn't dare to hesitate, quickly had someone call Kawashima Nakasaku, and then asked for specific information.

Kawashima was also sincere. Guancun asked him how he sent people into the core area of ​​the Audio-Technica Base.

Guan Cun sneered, and said, "You're doing business to resell supplies, and you're collecting information by the way?"

Kawashima was taken aback, and quickly replied: "General, what do you mean? I am loyal to my motherland. The reason why I have ventured into contact with the Eighth Route Army and done business these years is purely for the empire to obtain information.

Of course, I will also earn some money from it, because our imperial warriors also need to eat and spend money. What I have done in this regard is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. If the general does not believe it, he can go to investigate! "

Guan Cun waved his hand, he didn't bother to pay attention to these details.

"About the information about the Eighth Route Army airport, is what you investigated true?"

Kawashima replied: "General, we discovered this airport by accident. We managed to distract the escort of the Eighth Route Army and took a few photos secretly."

"How can you be sure that this airport is not fake?" Guan Cun asked.

Kawashima said: "We have no way to get close to investigate, but we can see the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets taking off from a distance, and we can also hear the roar of the engines.

We have many intelligence personnel who can confirm this! "

At this time, the Guizi Air Force staff took the information to report: "Reporting sir, this is the route map drawn based on the position of the Eighth Route Army flying team seen from the stronghold near Quyang, combined with the time spent in the air, and our high-altitude investigation during this period. It is indeed possible that this area is where the Eighth Route Army’s airport is located!”

"Yangxi!"

Guan Cun nodded and waved Chuan Dao to leave. At this point, he initially believed that the area shown by the information was indeed the location of the Eighth Route Army's airport.

After confirming the news, he immediately contacted Neiji Okamura.

The plan was finally determined, and the Sixth Division would concentrate its forces to advance to the exposed location of the Eighth Route Army airport. In addition, the Imperial Air Force would cooperate to destroy the Eighth Route Army air base.

And how is it actually?
Let's say this is an airport, it is indeed a real airport.

Just as the instigator Shi Dahu said to Kong Jie: "Detachment Captain, we have been fooling little devils all these years, this devil has been fooled a lot, and he has become more and more savvy, so he is not so easy to be fooled.

So our fake airport, although it is a means to lure the enemy, it has to be real in all aspects.

In addition, in order to convince the little devil completely, I suggest that all our fighter planes take off from the fake airport once, take off from the fake temporary airport, and pass the false news to the Japanese army, but when they return, they all stop at our secret air base.

I don't believe that the little devil can't be fooled! "

In the end, someone had to deliver the message, and the best candidate was naturally Chusaku Kawashima.

First came a wave of "Jiang Gan stealing books"-like operations.

When doing business with Kawashima, he tricked his team in, and let them accidentally discover the situation at the airport.

Everything will be a matter of course.

At the same time, there are unexpected surprises, which even Kong Jie did not expect.

With the debut of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit and the exposure of the Eighth Route Army's airfield, the Sixth Division advanced rapidly.

This series of actions actually stimulated the Niu Dao Manshituan who had been lingering around the periphery of Huangya Cave.

The old devil Niu Daoman finally made up his mind to take down the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal before the Sixth Division destroyed the Eighth Route Army's aviation base.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade was still fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army in the mountains of Huangyadong, and Niu Daoman did not dare to delay. Opportunity missed...
