The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 903 Chief: Eating in the Bowl, Watching in the Pot (Part [-])
After the North China Front Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Beiping received the news that the Eighth Route Army had stormed Taiyuan, Gangcun Ningci stayed up all night and waited for the news by the sand table.

Whether the Northwest Shanxi sweep can be won or not is related to whether he can avenge his shame, defeat the Eighth Route Army, and restore his reputation.

Taiyuan's safety is related to whether he can secure his position as the commander of the North China Front Army.

In the past half a year, the Front Army Command launched several sweeps, all of which ended in disastrous defeat.

Even the [-] elite Kwantung Army reinforcements to the North China Front Army were lost.

Successive defeats made him lose face, and at the same time made domestic doubts about his command ability.

If he hadn't fought many victories before, he had deep qualifications and a strong background.

The defeat of the [-] Kwantung Army alone was enough for him to lose his position as the commander of the North China Front Army.

If Taiyuan is also lost during his tenure and is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, moving the place will definitely be a certainty.

At that time, even if he wanted to seek revenge from the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, he would not be eligible.

Faced with this situation, Gangcun Ningci's first thought was how...

In a short period of time, the North China Front Army must not have any major problems.

After stabilizing the battle situation, I will find a way to break through, wash away the shame, and let the people in the country see that I am still the best candidate for the commander of the North China Front Army.

Seeing the chief of staff walking towards him in a hurry, Komura Ningji immediately raised his heart to his throat, for fear that he would hear any bad news.

Quickly asked: "Is Taiyuan City still in our hands..."

The chief of staff hurriedly reported: "Please rest assured, Commander..."

"Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu defended Taiyuan."

"The siege troops of the Eighth Route Army have withdrawn from the battlefield..."

"But the Taiyuan garrison lost a lot... They also believed that the Eighth Route Army sent to Taiyuan had far more than one regiment."

"The Taiyuan garrison made another mistake of underestimating the enemy."

"If the Yizhong Eighth Route Army continues to attack Taiyuan tonight, the mobile troops in the hands of Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu will be exhausted, and Taiyuan City will also be in danger because there is no reserve team..."

"They want to..."

Seeing that the chief of staff suddenly became hesitant, Gangcun Ningci frowned and asked, "They want to end the sweep in Northwest Shanxi and protect Taiyuan?"

"Hayi..." The Chief of Staff replied with his head down.

He knew how much Gangcun Ningci had placed on the Northwest Shanxi sweep.

Yoshio Iwamatsu's proposal undoubtedly broke the commander's dream of taking the opportunity to wash away his shame.

For fear that Gangcun Ningci would get angry because of this, his voice was much lower than before.

Kan Gangmura Ningji frowned and said nothing, the chief of staff quickly comforted him: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"There is a saying in China: You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw..."

"Beizhi believes that the bad impact of losing Taiyuan is far greater than the impact of winning a battle in Northwest Shanxi."

"We have won many victories in Northwest Shanxi..."

"The sweep is over now, and the victory still belongs to us."

"Keep Taiyuan and repel or eliminate all the Eighth Route Army sent to Shanxi by Yizhong. It will also be a big victory."

"We suffered several big losses at the hands of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army..."

"Now that their troops are leaving the central wing base and going deep into our occupied area, it is an excellent opportunity to eliminate them. We must not miss it..."

"Bang..." Neiji Okamura punched the table hard, and then stared at the sand table for orders.

"Call Yoshio Iwamatsu back..."

"Taiyuan City must not make any mistakes... Let him decide what to do, and the Front Army Command will not intervene..."

The chief of staff did not expect Neiji Okamura to compromise so easily, so he quickly flattered him: "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise..."

"Keep Taiyuan and eliminate the Eighth Route Army that is active around Taiyuan. This victory is no less than our victory in the Northwest Shanxi sweep."

"Humble job, call back the Shanxi garrison now..."

"Let them dispatch troops from Northwest Shanxi earlier to help... Take the opportunity to kill the Eighth Route Army by surprise and try to eliminate them."

…………

When the chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army returned to the deputy commander-in-chief, the worry on his face completely disappeared, and his entire face was covered with a smile.

He raised the telegram in his hand and happily reported: "Boss..."

"Kong Jie Telegram!"

"The second batch of [-] planes departing from Taiyuan has successfully landed at the temporary airport in Wingzhong... The transfer action proposed by Huang Yu has been completed, and our Eighth Route Army can finally form its own air force..."

"Kong Jie proposed to us..."

"Set up a flying regiment, a garrison regiment, and a regiment-level ground force directly in Chenjiazhuang..."

"Dedicated to our newly created air force..."

The deputy commander in chief smiled and asked, "What did Xiao Huang say?"

"He was the one who first came up with the idea of ​​forming an air force, and he captured the planes."

"Without him our air force would be nothing."

"We must consider his opinion."

"There is a little yellow telegram..." The chief of staff hurriedly took out another telegram to introduce.

"He believes that our first air force is mainly to train pilots, supplemented by attacking the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Even if you really participate in the war, you must avoid head-on confrontation with the little devil's aviation."

"It's best to attack the Japanese and puppet troops at night under the guidance of the bonfire on the ground like tonight..."

"He has a bolder idea..."

"Let's be honest, I can bear it..." the deputy commander asked expectantly.

He wished that Huang Yu would be as bold as possible.

He was the one who commanded the reinforcements in Northwest Shanxi. Although the task had not been completed, he brought back the first air force for the Eighth Route Army.

If you are more courageous, maybe you can directly get back an air division for the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff's face immediately became very serious, looking at the deputy commander in chief, he said seriously: "He hopes that the newly established air force of the Eighth Route Army can train one hundred pilots within half a year."

"Why does he need so many pilots?" The deputy commander immediately had a question in his mind.

But after all, he is the deputy commander in chief, so he has an idea after a little thought.

He stared at the chief of staff expectantly and asked, "Wait..."

"Could it be that Xiao Huang has taken a fancy to the devil's Peking Airport?"

Seeing the chief of staff nodding, the deputy commander-in-chief slapped himself on the thigh suddenly, and said, "Their next goal is to raid Tianjin Wharf..."

"Peking Airport is right next to Tianjin, and the troops can easily take it down..."

Speaking of this, the deputy commander-in-chief also became expectant, and said with bright eyes: "Peking Airport is different from Taiyuan Airport..."

"The Aviation Command of the North China Front Army is there."

"There are at least a hundred aircraft of all kinds."

"If we can really take down Beiping Airport...it will be no problem to harvest [-] or [-] aircraft of various kinds..."

"There's something wrong..."

"Chief of Staff... the matter of training pilots must be implemented as soon as possible..."

"We need to build a few more secret airports..."

"Otherwise we won't have a place to park the plane if we seize it!"
