The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building, and the dark clouds are pressing against the city and destroying the city!

The planes borrowed by the Kwantung Army and the planes supported by Gangcun Tining all landed at Taiyuan Airport, and all the armies were in place.

Yoshio Shinozuka is now full of energy and feels like he is so arrogant.

The 18th Army is about to destroy it, and it is just around the corner!

"General, General Tojo is here." Moriyama Otani came over to report to Yoshio Shinozuka.

Ichiro Tojo is the commander-in-chief of this encirclement operation.

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard the word "Tojo", his high-spirited mood suddenly became dissatisfied again.

This time, he, Shinozuka Yoshio, should be the commander-in-chief.

After all, we know the situation of the 18th Army best.

It's a bit...

Some things are not refuted by Yoshio Shinozuka.

The series of failures last year have made the military headquarters very suspicious of Yoshio Shinozuka's command ability.

Yoshio Shinozuka is still in charge of the First Army and has not been removed from office. The main reason is that the commander of the Gangmeng village protects him.

Otherwise, Yoshio Shinozuka would have no idea where he was thrown to sit on the bench.

After sorting out his emotions, Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Let him come in."

Soon, a short but resolute Japanese officer walked in. This time, the commander-in-chief of the operation to encircle the 18th Army: Ichiro Tojo.

"Welcome Tojo-kun." Although he was dissatisfied, he still had to live a good life on the surface, and Yoshio Shinozuka stretched out his hand.

Ichiro Tojo shook hands with Yoshio Shinozuka and went straight to the topic: "Shinozuka, you must be cursing in your heart. You should be the commander-in-chief of this encirclement operation, right?"

"Tojo-kun, I have no right to question the military headquarters." Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head.

"Kun Shinozuka, although you failed in a series of actions last year and have an unshirkable responsibility, no matter what, in my opinion, Ichiro Tojo, you are still the most suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief." Ichiro Tojo said.

"Tojo-kun, what do you mean?" Shinozuka Yoshio paused.

This time, Yoshio Shinozuka's task was to be a good logistics officer for Ichiro Tojo, and the supply of food, grass, ammunition and supplies needed by the army must be in place in time and cannot be delayed.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought Tojo Ichiro would just let him Yoshio Shinozuka do the logistics. In this situation, Ichiro Tojo seems to have to ask for his own opinions on the encirclement and suppression?

"You know more about the 18th Army than any Imperial soldier." Ichiro Tojo looked at Yoshio Shinozuka seriously: "General, I want to hear your thoughts about encircling the 18th Army."

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't bother to do anything. He immediately took out a pre-made strategic plan drawing from the drawer and unfolded it in front of Ichiro Tojo: "Tojo, look, it's all on this."

Before the encirclement, Yoshio Shinozuka thought he would be the commander-in-chief, so he made a strategic plan with the staff in advance.

As a result, Ichiro Tojo airborne and became the commander-in-chief.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought that the strategic plan he had made in advance would be covered with dust, but he did not expect that Ichiro Tojo was not a stubborn person.

"Yoxi, thank you Shinozuka for supporting my work." Ichiro Tojo turned his attention to the strategic plan drawings as he spoke.

"What does Tojo-kun say? The 18th Army is not easy to deal with. We must unite with sincerity." Shinozuka Yoshio said modestly, "We are all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and for the future of the empire!"

"Yoxi, Shinozuka, your strategic plan is really professional." Ichiro Tojo looked at the plan and praised it very much.

The 18th Army occupied the mountains, and the terrain was complex. Shinozuka Yoshio's plan was to use an aircraft to bomb suspicious targets in the mountains first, and to attack the morale of the 18th Army as much as possible.

Then, based on the direction of the mountain terrain, we take advantage of our sufficient military strength to cut the mountains into dozens of areas, and conduct repeated large-scale mobilizations on these areas without leaving any survivors!

If we can encounter the main force of the 18th Army in advance, the aviation forces will suppress the maximum amount of the sky, and the tanks in the mechanized troops will rush over to force the 18th Army to fight head-on.

In this way, the enemy's idea of ​​guerrilla warfare can be greatly weakened.

It is the best way to attack his weaknesses by using one's strengths.

Ichiro Tojo was even a little suspicious, and the above said that Yoshio Shinozuka's command ability was not good.

However, with this strategic plan drawing, Yoshio Shinozuka's command ability is remarkable and excellent.

Shinozuka Yoshio was not proud of Tojo Ichiro's praise, but was very careful: "Tojo-kun, dealing with the 18th Army is actually nothing. The biggest threat to the 18th Army mainly comes from their terrible strategic master. My strategic plan seems impeccable, but I am not optimistic."

"Shinozuka, do you know why the above asked me to be the commander-in-chief?" Ichiro Tojo said.

"I don't know." Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head.

"Because you and the Imperial officers of your First Army have psychological fears about the strategic masters of the 18th Army. When you face him, you will always be nervous or even suspicious. As commanders, these emotions will affect your command at critical moments." Ichiro Tojo explained, "That is why the military headquarters sent me as the commander-in-chief."

"Tojo-kun, the strategic masters of the 18th Army are really strong enemies. You must not underestimate the enemy." Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly heard this, but still reminded.

"Don't worry about this. If I was careless and underestimated the enemy, I would have taken my troops to encircle and suppress the enemy myself. I wouldn't have come to ask for your opinion from the general." Ichiro Tojo said solemnly.

The first army suffered a series of crushing defeats last year and the names of shocking officers who fell into battle made Ichiro Tojo realize that the opponent he is facing this time is definitely not an ordinary person!

"Tōjok, based on past experience and lessons, there are already traces of strategic masters of the 18th Army's use of troops, that is, they do not fight head-on with our army, but attack on our army's baggage and ammunition." Shinozuka Yoshio said solemnly, "This time, I will personally supervise every link and will never cause any loss to the army's logistics supply!"

"Shinozuka, logistics supply is the guarantee of our army's victory. I believe you!" Ichiro Tojo put away his strategic plan, "No further ado, I am going to deal with the 18th Army now. I hope that the next time we meet will be at the celebration banquet!"

"Tojo-kun, if possible, capture the strategic masters of the 18th Army alive." Yoshio Shinozuka still has great obsession with this person. If a person dies, he has no value.

Only if you can capture it alive can you be valuable.

"Try to do what you can." Ichiro Tojo nodded. Although such a highly strategic person had caused serious damage to the empire, if he could capture him alive for his own use, the losses of the empire might not be worth mentioning.

Yoshio Shinozuka personally sent Ichiro Tojo out of the First Army Headquarters until Ichiro Tojo disappeared from his sight by car.

"Transfer my order, in addition to the field, immediately convene officers at the level of assistants at all departments of the headquarters to hold a meeting." Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to hold a meeting again and implement logistics supply guarantees again.

"Hayi."

...

Rumble!

After Ichiro Tojo returned, he immediately issued an order to attack the air force.

Japanese planes quickly took off from Taiyuan Airport and rushed towards the mountain where the 18th Army was located.

Hundreds of planes were all dispatched without any reservation.

The Japanese pilots searched for targets in the mountains, and threw bombs wherever they felt they were suspicious.

The bomb was lost and fired with a machine gun.

For a time, the 18th Army and the people in the mountains were persecuted by the Japanese planes.

"Dog god, I'll have a place to fight us!"

"You guys who kill thousands of swords, you must die a good death!"

"Mom, mom, open your eyes and look at me, mom, mom..."

"Goudan, Goudan, you can't die. If you die, what should I do? Goudan, Goudan!"

...

Some ordinary people were bombed by bombs thrown by Japanese planes, and some guerrillas were shot by planes and were killed and injured.

The anger of hatred is everywhere.

But the Japanese plane had wings and showed their power in the sky. The injured person could only watch the Japanese plane shining arrogantly, and wanted to vent his anger but had no chance at all.

This feeling is really crazy.

Even Li Yunlong's new brigade and Kong Jie's independent brigade suffered some losses.

On this day, the two hurried to find Wu Ze. The damn Japanese plane was so hateful that they should be shot down with 88 anti-aircraft cannons.

Before Li Yunlong and Kong Jie arrived, Zhang Jijun came to Wu Ze in advance: "Wu Ze, the Japanese plane bombed us just now and almost discovered an 88 anti-aircraft gun. Although the cannon was saved, two soldiers were killed and injured. When will we take action?"

The border arsenal has been shut down and has been bombed.

Fortunately, Wu Ze made a disguise when he built the factory before, and the losses were not big.

However, if the Japanese planes cannot be solved, the production of the arsenal may be difficult to continue.

Wu Ze also wanted to kill the Japanese plane immediately, but now is not the time at all.

First of all, although the training of the 88 anti-aircraft artillery unit has come to an end, it has not yet fully formed combat effectiveness.

Secondly, the Pacific War has not yet broken out, and the Japanese pilots are all experienced veteran pilots.

To use the 88 anti-aircraft gun as a killer weapon, it is necessary to give them a fatal blow without any defense.

Now the Japanese planes are flying all over the sky, with no rules, and they are obviously looking for their own goals.

The scattered 88 anti-aircraft guns can shoot down several planes, but this will alarm the enemy.

Only when the Japanese ground troops drive over from behind can they set up traps for the Japanese plane.

"As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about late meals." Wu Ze said to Zhang Jijun, "Tell the artillerymen, I will endure it. Never attack without authorization to alert the snake. Otherwise, it will be difficult to severely damage the Japanese army group. Also, hurry up and train."

"Wu Ze, actual combat is actually the best training." Zhang Jijun looked at Wu Ze, "I know you want to use your trump card to severely damage the Japanese aircraft group in one fell swoop, but can you give me a specific time?"

"Zhang Jijun, what you need to do now is to stabilize the mood and morale of the artillery as much as possible." Wu Ze said solemnly, "Tell the artillerymen how arrogant the Japanese aircraft are now, and how scared they will be at that time! Believe me!"

"Okay." Zhang Jijun turned around without saying much.

He once served for the Military Control Commission, and Wu Ze has now temporarily appointed him as the deputy of the anti-aircraft artillery force. Wu Ze believes that he can calm the morale of the anti-aircraft artillery force.
