Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 64 Almost succeeded! (Subscribe!)
At Guilin Airport, the old man's private plane landed slowly, and Zhang Fakui was already waiting at the airport.

"Xiang Hua, you have no complaints about handing over this mess in the Fourth War Zone to you, right?" The old man asked kindly as soon as they met.

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui was speechless. You have already been appointed.

What else can I say?
"No, it's all for the war of resistance. I have no complaints. All I want now is to drive the Japanese away as soon as possible and achieve peace." Zhang Fakui shook his head and expressed his true thoughts.

Hearing this, the old man looked at him again, nodded, then got on a special car and drove to the Fourth War Zone Headquarters.

This time, there were only Zhang Fakui and the old man, and the other two were the adjutant who accompanied them.

"What's the situation with the 714th Garrison Regiment?" The old man asked directly as he sat down.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau had already reported to him the specific situation of Lu Yuhua and the 714th Garrison Regiment, he still wanted to ask a few more questions.

Zhang Fakui already knew the answer to this question and spoke calmly.

"It was originally a garrison regiment near Liuzhou. Not long ago, it was called south to resist the Japanese army. Halfway through, its subordinates mutinied. The garrison commander Lu Yuhua learned from his mistakes and decided to reorganize the garrison regiment, sell off his property, and purchase weapons. I didn't expect that this time, the performance was outstanding. It was really unexpected."

"Well, I heard that he knows a German arms dealer? Can we let this German arms dealer meet him?" The old man already knew this news.

After all, although the Military Control Commission is unreliable, when they really get serious, they are still very responsible in doing things.

The purpose of the old man's visit this time was not only to summarize the Battle of Southern Guangxi at this stage, but also to find out about this mysterious German arms dealer and see if he could buy some weapons and equipment.

Although Su Xie is good, there are too many conditions attached to it.

If the situation hadn't forced him, he really wouldn't want to sign.

After all, those are conditions that will forever be infamous.

Now the mysterious German arms dealer appears, reminding him of the former German-equipped division.

That's the trump card in his hand.

Later it was exhausted and became a swan song, which is also a great pity.

Now that there is an opportunity to rebuild the German-equipped division, he is naturally very concerned about it.

More importantly, they charge big bucks.

Although the mountain city is poor and has lost Jiangsu and Zhejiang, an important source of tax revenue, it can still come up with tens of millions of dollars. If it grits its teeth, it is not impossible to get one or two hundred million dollars.

Compared with the conditions of the Soviet Army, it is much better.

As for the price being a bit more expensive?
Is this a problem?
The Japanese army blocked all external communication channels, and even if you had money you couldn't buy weapons.

There are various additional conditions for purchasing weapons.

The price is a little higher, but that’s not a problem.

Before coming, he was mentally prepared for the high price.

"I'm afraid there's no hope. I've already asked Lu Yuhua, and he said that the Germans don't want to show up for the time being unless we can retake Nanning, so that we have a channel for external communications. Before that, he won't show up. The arms deal is all left to Lu Yuhua." Zhang Fakui's words completely disappointed the old man.

He now just wants to figure out whether this is the personal intention of the German arms dealer or whether Germany is the mastermind behind this matter.

If it's the former, just buy some weapons.

If it is the latter, then he has to think about whether to cooperate.

To be honest, he has also cooperated with the great powers over the years.

He knew the true colors of the great powers, and only the Germans were slightly better.

They are mainly after minerals and have little interest in the Far East.

It’s not that there aren’t any, but compared to other powers, it’s really much less.

The main reason is that the German army focused on revenge and washing away the shame brought by World War I, and did not care much about the Far East.

"Do we have to take over Nanning before we can meet?" the old man repeated.

"Yes, he said that the German merchant ships are all in the Qinzhou Bay area. Unless we take Nanning and drive out the Japanese army, we will probably not meet." Zhang Fakui spread his hands helplessly and said.

"Well, in that case, let's take Nanning first. The purpose of this visit is to summarize the previous stage of the Guangxi-Nanning Campaign. So far, the overall performance is still good, but the performance of some generals is still unsatisfactory." The old man first affirmed, and then criticized certain generals by name.

In particular, Su Zuxin, the commander of the 135th Division that lost Nanning, was directly ordered by Baldy to be dismissed and investigated.

Ye Zhao of the 66th Group Army and Chen Ji, commander of the th Army, were all removed from their posts and investigated.

The former was detained and tried by a military court, while the latter was directly executed.

As for some generals who performed poorly in battle, their salaries were reduced but their actual positions were not cancelled.

In addition, the numbers of the 66th Army and the th Army were also cancelled.

After hearing the old man's decision, Zhang Fakui didn't show much expression.

To be honest, he was a lone commander as the theater commander before the Guilin camp was withdrawn.

Guangdong Province was under the control of Yu Hanmou's 12th Army Group, and Guangxi Province was the territory of the Guangxi Clique. As the commander of the Fourth War Zone, he had no real power at all.

This is why he wanted to directly hold Lu Yuhua in his hands.

There is no other way. Such a powerful force must be firmly controlled.

"The other troops performed well and those who deserve commendation should be commended. But what about the 714th Garrison Regiment?" The old man thought about it and was ready to find a number from the Gui Army to give to the other side. However, he had finally weakened a division of the Gui Army. If he then gave it to them, wouldn't his work be in vain?

"General, I have appointed Lu Yuhua as the deputy head of the Guangxi Security Corps. I think he has little experience and is qualified for this position. What's more, his uncle is Lu Rongting. Suddenly raising his status may have unfavorable factors." Zhang Fakui directly blocked it.

To put it bluntly, the current Guangxi clique is headed by Li Bai and Huang. Have you considered the thoughts of Li Bai and Huang when you suddenly promote Lu Rongting's nephews and nieces?

As for the deputy head of the Guangxi Security Corps? This thing is not even as well organized as a Type B brigade, and the main force is stronger than him.

Hearing this, the old man looked at him in surprise, and naturally understood the meaning of his words, which was that this kid was his now.

Thinking of this, the old man just felt regretful and didn't think too much about it.

"Since you said so, then let's follow your appointment. But I heard that he has 12 heavy artillery?" He changed the subject and looked at the heavy artillery again.

Who knows, Zhang Fakui said with a smile.

"General, these heavy artillery pieces have been purchased by patriotic gentry and donated to the Fourth War Zone. They are currently being used on the front lines to resist the Japanese army."

At this time, the old man was obviously a little angry, but considering Zhang Fakui's prestige and the chaotic situation in the Fourth War Zone, he suppressed his anger.

"Since it already belongs to the Fourth War Zone, let it go. However, Changsha is not stable either. Xue Boling has called me more than once, hoping to purchase a batch of artillery shells. The artillery shells of the 10th Artillery Regiment have long been used up. I wonder if Brother Xiang Hua can sell some of them?" The old man's voice was flat, but those who were familiar with him knew that he was suppressing his anger.

"No problem." Zhang Fakui readily agreed. He remembered that the caliber of the heavy artillery of the 10th Artillery Regiment was also 32 times. The extra shells could be sold to Shancheng and he could make some money back.

"General Manager, as for other weapons and equipment needs, you can have someone write a list. If there is still stock, you can buy them all. The German-equipped division once greatly increased the reputation of our Chinese soldiers. If it can be reproduced, it will also be a huge boost to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance." Zhang Fakui's words indeed won high praise from the old man.

"Well, I'll ask someone to take care of these. I'm tired today, so I'll take a rest first." After the talk was almost over, the old man found an excuse and returned to the resting place.

Little did they know that all of this had been noticed by some people.

Not long after, the telegram went through several twists and turns and reached the hands of Lieutenant General Seiichi Kuna of the 22nd Army Command.

"You really came to Guilin?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi looked at the telegram in his hand and took a deep breath.

He also didn't expect that the other party would actually come to Guilin.

Not only that, but he also got the address of where they were staying.

As for tight defense?

It was no big deal for him because he didn't expect to succeed through ordinary assassination, so he just sent out bombers.

A total of six Type 99 bombers, which were only successfully developed last year. He applied for them specifically for this bombing.

"Are there still ground personnel providing guidance?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi looked at the back of the telegram, which indicated that there were still ground personnel providing guidance, and his confidence immediately increased.

This means that the success rate has been greatly increased.

"Send out fighter jets immediately, target Guilin, codename Dragon Hunt." Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi took a deep breath and specially gave a code name for this operation.

If this succeeds, he will be famous forever.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi felt his hands tremble. "Hi." The communications staff immediately responded.

…………

Guilin has a newly formed anti-aircraft artillery regiment, some of whose members are mobilized soldiers. Lu Yuhua would naturally not miss such an opportunity to squeeze in people.

"Why are we under martial law for no reason? Do you think the Japanese fighter planes dare to bomb here?" A captain who had just been transferred to the anti-aircraft artillery regiment complained.

He thought it would be an easy job, but he was asked to impose martial law just after taking office, which left him speechless.

The fighting was extremely intense at the front, but the Japanese fighter planes didn't go to the front to bomb? Why did they come here?
Could it be that you know the exact location of the headquarters?

This is simply not possible.

Even if they knew, by the time the Japanese warplanes arrived, they would have known about it, and there would have been enough time to retreat.

"Maybe some important person has come? To prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army?" mobilized soldier Zheng Shiyi guessed.

His current position is the platoon leader of the first platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, with the rank of second lieutenant.

The anti-aircraft artillery regiment lacked officers who understood air defense, so after Zheng Shiyi passed the assessment, he was directly appointed as a second lieutenant platoon leader.

"If that's the case, it's indeed possible, but how could the Japanese army know where these big shots live? Unless there is a traitor." The captain said casually.

I swear to God, he really just said it casually.

The next second, several dark shadows appeared in the distance, and the phone next to him rang.

"What? Japanese fighter planes are attacking?" The captain picked up the phone and heard a hurried shout from the other end.

"Everyone get into position immediately and shoot down the invading Japanese planes." The captain shouted loudly to his subordinates in front of him without even hanging up the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone finally left a harsh remark: if they failed to shoot down the Japanese fighter plane, they would be shot.

"Why aren't you firing yet? The Japanese planes are getting close to the city." Seeing the Japanese planes about to enter the city, the captain was very panicked, because other anti-aircraft artillery positions had already fired, but their position had not yet.

"Sir, don't be anxious. This should be a new fighter plane of the Japanese army. It should have flexible performance. It will be difficult to shoot down the opponent with our 20mm anti-aircraft gun. We must hit it with one shot, preferably when the enemy is off guard." Zheng Shiyi shook his head, signaling his superior not to be anxious.

"How can I not be anxious? If the Japanese fighter planes drop bombs, I'll be finished." The captain was almost crying in anxiety. He probably guessed that there must be an important person in the city.

"Open fire quickly," the captain urged again.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Zheng Shiyi remained unmoved.

The captain was so angry that he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Zheng Shiyi's head.

Unfortunately, Zheng Shiyi remained unmoved, but stared at the Japanese fighter planes in the sky.

At this moment, the Japanese fighter plane was also very surprised, because the intelligence did not tell him that Guilin had anti-aircraft guns.

If it weren't for the new fighter jets, it would have been shot down long ago.

Even so, there are still dangers everywhere, and they rely on superb skills to avoid attacks time and time again.

"Damn, where's the signal? Why is there no signal yet?" Before setting off, the information they received was that someone would light a fire and give them a signal, and then they would just have to drop the bomb.

They now need to avoid the attacks of anti-aircraft shells while searching for signals, which is particularly exhausting.

Finally, just when they were getting impatient, they saw thick smoke rising from the ground.

"Yo, rush over and drop bombs." The Japanese flight squadron leader shouted loudly.

"Hay."

Japanese fighter planes were seen flying quickly towards the thick smoke.

As a result, just as they were about to arrive.

I saw a fire dragon coming out from the ground and directly hitting the Japanese fighter plane in the front.

boom!
Before the Japanese fighter planes behind could react, the fighter planes in front were directly blown up in mid-air.

The Japanese pilots in the rear were completely stunned.

Why are there anti-aircraft guns here?
My brain froze for a moment.

Before they could react, the second fire dragon attacked again.

Another fighter plane was shot down.

"Baga, Baga, speed up and rush over."

Because climbing takes time, and besides, it is so close that it would be a pity to give up, so it is better to push the speed to the maximum.

call out!
The remaining four Japanese fighter planes finally came to their senses and rushed towards the target point quickly.

The fire dragon behind followed closely.

"Well done, well done, quick, quick, don't stop, kill these damn Japanese devils." The captain, who was originally pointing a gun at Zheng Shiyi, now shouted excitedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

He didn't expect that his subordinates would be so powerful.

In just one minute, two Japanese fighter planes were shot down. This was truly amazing.

Thinking of the scene where I had forced the other person before, I wanted to slap myself twice.

He almost got himself killed.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He decided that after this was over, he would definitely recommend him for a credit and get at least a promotion of two levels.

This guy's prediction is so accurate.

He never expected that he could determine the direction of the Japanese fighter planes so accurately.

It’s really awesome.

"No, the Japanese fighter planes are too fast. The 20mm anti-aircraft gun is still not enough. If we change it to 88mm anti-aircraft gun, we will definitely not be able to escape." Zheng Shiyi shook his head. He did not expect that the Japanese army would actually change to new fighter planes.

"Or we can increase the number of 20mm anti-aircraft guns to form a dense firepower network. In this way, no matter how fast the enemy is, they can't escape unless they move faster."

Hearing this, the captain rolled his eyes, but he didn't care if they couldn't catch up. Anyway, they had shot down two planes and the credit was already in their hands. The superiors shouldn't have any objections.

"There's still a chance." Zheng Shiyi saw that the speed of the Japanese fighter planes seemed to have slowed down, and ordered the anti-aircraft gunners to continue firing and chasing the Japanese fighter planes.

In the sky, Japanese fighter planes came above the thick smoke and were about to drop bombs, but they saw the fire dragon behind them chasing them again. They gritted their teeth and had no time to aim, so they just dropped all the bombs at once.

As a result, a slight change caused the bomb to deviate from its planned trajectory.

On the ground, where the old man was staying, he had already been surrounded by the guards. Especially when they saw the Japanese fighter planes approaching, they didn't have time to think too much. They just took the old man into the car and ran towards a safe place.

I just happened to see the bombs dropped by Japanese fighter planes exploding not far away.

It’s only a few dozen meters away from the old man’s residence.

"Damn it, are the Japanese fighter planes chasing me?" The old man was not a fool. Seeing that the bomb was not far from where he exploded, he immediately realized that the Japanese might have known that he had come to Guilin and were deliberately sending fighter planes to kill him.

"Return to Mountain City immediately." The old man realized that someone might have leaked his whereabouts. He was not sure whether it was Mountain City or the Fourth War Zone. He had to return to Mountain City immediately because it was safe there.

The Japanese army dropped the bombs in a hurry and had no time to confirm. They pushed the throttle to the maximum and climbed immediately to Guilin.

It was really too dangerous. If we hadn't replaced our planes with new ones, we would have been doomed this time.

On the other side, Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi, who was waiting for news on the phone, looked anxious and even paced back and forth.

Goddess Amaterasu, there must be good news.

Finally, the phone rang and Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi picked up the phone.

"Mission failed, the target has returned to the mountain city."

Failed!
The plan that I carefully planned actually failed?
why?
"Guilin has a large number of anti-aircraft guns? Two fighter planes were shot down? What? How is this possible?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi looked incredulous.

Equally incredulous was Lu Yuhua, who had just arrived in Lingli Town.

"The president was assassinated? Japanese fighter planes raided Guilin? The bomb fell less than fifty meters away from where we are staying?" Lu Yuhua was stunned when he saw the urgent telegram sent by Zhang Fakui.
