Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"That's true. This Northeast Army is indeed a bit troublesome." Upon hearing this, Ban Shangshanfu couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for this Northeast Army, they wouldn't have to think so much and could have directly encircled and suppressed the New 1st Regiment.

"Moreover, from the intelligence we have collected, this Northeast Army seems to have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army. Our mine has been attacked by the enemy several times before, and it is very likely that this Northeast Army was involved." Ban Shangshanfu talked about the previous attacks on the mine.

At that time, I couldn't figure out which unit did it. The only possible explanation was that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army cooperated with the Eighth Route Army.

However, it was not until the appearance of the Northeast Army that he overturned his previous ideas. The defense of the mine was so tight that ordinary troops could not take it down at all. Even if they could take it down, they would have to pay a huge price.

But with the Northeast Army, whose combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the imperial soldiers, it can be explained clearly.

"So, once we attack the Eighth Route Army, those people will definitely contact this Northeast Army. Then, we will be in trouble." Itahira Seishirō also said, frowning as he finished speaking.

"Division Commander, the existence of this unit is likely to affect our subsequent plans. Even if we divide the Eighth Route Army's base into pieces,

It is not easy to encircle and suppress them." Ban Shangshanfu said with a serious face.

"Baga, this Northeast Army has seriously threatened our deployment here. If we can't get rid of this army as soon as possible,

No matter what we do here, they will interfere, and the losses will only get bigger and bigger!" Itaheng Seishiro couldn't help but curse.

He really couldn't imagine that a small Northeast Army separated from the main force could have such terrible combat effectiveness, causing them to suffer such heavy losses in succession.

"Division commander, if we want to take action against the Eighth Route Army, we must first eliminate this Northeast Army!" Ban Shangshanfu suggested.

"It sounds good, but the key is how to eliminate them. We don't even know where they are now.
We are in the light, they are in the dark. If we don't find them, let alone destroy them, they will pop up from time to time and beat us up." Itaheng Seishiro also felt a headache.

Although the number of people in this Northeast Army is small, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The opponent can attack them at any time, but they cannot find any trace of the opponent. This is the most troublesome thing.

"Moreover, even if we find their traces, the Eighth Route Army might come to help as soon as possible. In this way, the difficulty of encirclement and suppression will be even greater!" Itagaki Seishirō continued.

If they know the enemy's location, they will destroy it first even if they have to mobilize heavy troops and spend huge resources.

"Hiss...it's really troublesome!" Ban Shangshanfu felt a little overwhelmed. He couldn't figure out how this army was trained? Why was their combat effectiveness stronger than that of the empire's soldiers?

The two men fell silent for a moment, both trying to figure out how to deal with this Northeastern Army. As long as they could destroy this Northeastern Army, everything would be solved.

Ten minutes later, Ban Shangshanfu suddenly had an idea and said quickly: "Captain, since we can't find them, why don't we let them find us!"

"What you mean is..." Itahiro Seishirō was a little unresponsive and motioned to Itahiro to continue.

“Division Commander, since this Northeastern Army has a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, why don’t we use the New 1st Regiment as bait to lure out this Northeastern Army.

Once the New 1st Regiment is surrounded and suppressed, I believe that the Northeast Army will definitely come to help, so how about we surround the point and attack the reinforcements? ! " Ban Shangshanfu quickly told his plan.

This Northeast Army obviously has a cooperative relationship with the Eighth Route Army. If one side is attacked, the other side will definitely come to help.

"In this case, we don't need to look for the trace of this Northeastern Army at all. We just need to wait patiently for this Northeastern Army to come and rescue us?!" Itai Seishirō couldn't help but smile when he said this.

"Yes, that's right. We dispatched a large army to surround the New 1st Regiment's base, but we were not in a hurry to destroy them. Instead, we advanced slowly to give the Northeast Army a chance to come to the rescue.
Then we will deliberately create a false impression and let them get into our encirclement. In this way, we can catch them all in one fell swoop! "Ban Shangshanfu became more and more excited as he spoke. He didn't expect that he could come up with such a good plan.

"This new regiment has caused us a lot of losses before. It's a good opportunity to destroy them and put a damper on their arrogance." Ban Shangshanfu continued.

Before this, they had suffered a lot at the hands of the New First Regiment, especially the more than 20,000 soldiers who died in battle, also because of the existence of the New First Regiment. Therefore, by destroying the New First Regiment and then the Northeast Army, they could wash away their shame.

"That's the general plan, but the specific details need more consideration. Mr. Board, since you proposed this plan, it's up to you to perfect it.
We must make this plan perfect, and make sure that the Northeast Army runs into our encirclement to rescue people!" Itaheng Seishirō decisively gave this task to Itahiro Uesugi to formulate.

"Division Commander, are you sure you want me to formulate such an important task?!" Ban Shangshanfu was a little excited. The division commander chose to give such an important action plan to him to complete. Doesn't this mean that he wants him to lead the team to carry out the encirclement and suppression in person later?

If he succeeds in encircling and annihilating the enemy, it will be a huge achievement. He might even get a promotion. He has been stuck in the position of brigade commander for a long time and thought he had no chance of promotion. Now the opportunity has come!
"Ita-kun, I have high hopes for you. Only you can complete such an important mission. Don't let me down." Ita-kun Seishiro said earnestly.

"Don't worry, commander. I will not let you down and will perfect the plan as soon as possible." Ban Shangshanfu also made a solemn promise.

"Remember, the plan must take all aspects into consideration. We must not let the Northeastern Army notice any abnormalities, which would cause the plan to fail. Do you understand?" Itaige Seishirō warned.

To deal with the Northeast Army, they cannot use the same methods as those used to deal with ordinary enemies. Otherwise, not only will they fail to destroy the enemy, but it will also lead to an even greater counterattack. Therefore, if they do take action, then it is fine. But once they do, they must completely destroy this army.

"I understand. After the plan is completed, I will show it to you as soon as possible. If there are any flaws in the plan, please point them out, division commander." Ban Shangshanfu said hurriedly.

"No problem, you can make the plan boldly. As long as we can annihilate this Northeastern Army, we can pay any price." Itagaki Seishirō said.

He wanted to annihilate this army right now, otherwise he would really have to worry about whether this army would reach Taiyuan one day.

"Hi!" Ban Shangshanfu nodded.

"Go, don't let me down." Itaheng Seishiro waved his hand, signaling Itaheng Shanfu to go down.

"Division Commander, I'll be down first." Ban Shangshanfu left the office and closed the door.

Itakase Seishirō was also considering the feasibility of the plan. In fact, when Itakase Uesugi told him the general plan, he had already started to calculate it in his mind.

But in the end, he found that although the probability of success of this plan was not small, it still had risks. If he failed to annihilate the Northeast Army and something unexpected happened, he could let Banshanfu be the scapegoat. Of course, he would definitely be punished, but the punishment would not be so severe. In short, regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, his guilt was the smallest, which was why he chose to let Banshanfu make the plan.

If he succeeds, he will consider himself a great contributor; if he fails, he will put the blame on Banshanfu. The other party will not even realize that he is the one who is taking the blame. Instead, he will be grateful to him and only think that he has let him down.

"Ibanshangjun, don't blame me if you fail." Ibanshang Seishiro sighed. Merits and faults were all chosen by himself.

.........

It was getting dark. At this time, in Taiyuan, about 20 miles west of the west gate, a huge airport was built. More than 200 planes were parked on the flat ground. From time to time, Japanese patrols would patrol around the planes to avoid any accidents.

In the woods about two miles away from the airport, Li Jin and Li Yunlong had already brought their men here.

As for Zhao Gang, he took the rest of the people to the designated ambush location to carry out the ambush.

"Commander, over there is the Japanese airport, with more than two hundred planes parked there." On the low hill, Li Jin was holding a telescope, wearing a white cloak, hiding behind the snow-covered weeds.

"More than 200 planes, that's really a big airport. If they were all deployed, it would cause huge losses to our troops." Li Yunlong couldn't help but curse.

He had seen bombs from planes before. When the Nationalist Army was chasing them, they sent many planes to bomb them. Of course, the Nationalist Army did not have as many planes as the Japanese at that time.

"Yes, our troops here have no air superiority at all. Not only are our ground positions threatened, but also our support troops and logistics troops.

During the Battle of Songhu, many soldiers who were on their way to the battlefield were killed by the Japanese planes before they even reached the battlefield. " Li Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"Sooner or later, we will also build airplanes. And they must be more powerful than the Japanese ones, the kind that can knock down dozens of their airplanes with one airplane!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but say.

As the saying goes, it is better to have something yourself than to have it from your parents. They can definitely build their own plane.

"Yes, of course." Li Jin nodded.

"The task of building the plane is left to you!" Li Yunlong looked at Li Jin. He had a serious face and there was no sign of joking at all.

"What?! I'll build it?! Are you serious?!" Li Jin was also dumbfounded.

"Well, the arsenal you set up is really powerful. The walkie-talkies you made are even better than those of the Japanese.

You have also made a gun that is more powerful than the Japanese Type 38 rifle. I believe you can definitely make an airplane." Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

Their current technology is barely able to surpass the Japanese in terms of communications. This walkie-talkie is more than ten times more advanced than the Japanese's.

"I will try my best to build a plane to bomb the Japanese." Li Jin nodded. In fact, he had the same idea in his mind, but he did not have enough points. When the time comes, he will build a plane that is more advanced than the Japanese and bomb those Japanese to death.

"Can you build the plane in two or three years? Don't delay it too long. By then, I will also drop bombs on the Japanese from the sky." Li Yunlong said this with a cruel smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll build the plane in three years at most!" Li Jin gritted his teeth and agreed decisively, trying to put as much pressure on himself as possible.

"I'm waiting." Li Yunlong said.

At this time, Li Yunlong's walkie-talkie rang.

"Captain, we have arrived at the designated location and are now digging simple trenches." Zhao Gang's voice was heard.

"Okay, dig the trench as soon as possible. Don't forget, we will take action at 12 o'clock tonight. You must calculate the time well and try to catch the Japanese off guard." Li Yunlong said. They had already set the action time on the way here.

"Understood!" Zhao Gang responded.

……

At this time, inside the airport, the Japanese commander Kojiro Tanashita was checking documents in his office.

In front of him, a Japanese lieutenant colonel stood upright.

"Damn it, we have to guard the airport here every day and have no chance to lead troops in battle. When can we be transferred out?" Kojiro Tanashita looked at it and threw the documents on the table, complaining.

He really didn't want to guard the airport. Other troops had their own missions, and his mission was to guard the airport. Who would have the guts to attack the airport? !
This is simply impossible. The enemy would at most dare to launch a surprise attack on a bunker or a checkpoint, but would never dare to launch a surprise attack on an airport guarded by a regiment.

In his opinion, there was no need for so many people to guard the airport. It was not too far from Taiyuan. Unless the enemy was crazy, they would think they could take over the airport in a short time.

"Captain, you can't say that. The airport is still very important. Only with the airport and the planes can we have air superiority here. If we don't have air superiority, it will be troublesome for us." The Japanese lieutenant colonel couldn't help but say when he heard this.

Air supremacy is still very important. Several major battles were able to end faster because they always had air supremacy in their hands. Otherwise, they would have to pay a greater price to end those wars.

"I know that air supremacy is important, but it's not necessary for us to rely on only one wing to defend it. This is a wing. Even if the enemy sends 10,000 or 20,000 people, it's impossible for them to take it down in a short period of time. There's no need to send so many people to defend it!" said Kojiro Tanashita.

One regiment had more than 3,600 soldiers, including combat and logistics personnel, and they had the advantage of terrain, so no enemy dared to attack.
