Some time ago, the Chinese [***] team won frequently. The main reason was that the Air Force could always accurately throw bombs onto the enemy's heads at the correct time and at the correct location. In the Battle of Nanchang, the Japanese lost three divisions and a strategic heavy artillery brigade, as well as hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks. In the Battle of Changsha, although Anan Weiji was overwhelmed by Xue Yue's "Tianlu Tactics", the loss of troops was not large, but in the end, he encountered the Chinese Air Force again when he retreated. In the Battle of Inner Mongolia, if Fu Zuoyi had no help from the Chinese Air Force, he would not have easily defeated Naosaburo Okabe and established his strategic advantage in one fell swoop.

But it won't work now.

Soichi Tekanai was beaten a lot, and finally discovered the weakness of the Chinese Air Force: Few!

No matter how capable or dominant it is, the Chinese Air Force's aircraft are much less than their Japanese aircraft. Although the Japanese Air Force currently has to follow the Siberian battlefield, that is the real place to burn money, but the Chinese battlefield is so big that there are only those little planes of the Chinese Air Force? As long as there is no Chinese Air Force making trouble there, the Great Japanese Imperial Army will still be afraid of the soft Chinese Army? Fortunately, he and Kenji Doihara and others were stubborn and insisted on destroying the Chinese Air Force and seizing air supremacy in one fell swoop. As a result, the Imperial Air Force suffered heavy losses and also paid two battleships...

After coming back to his senses, Teraunuchi finally used his general-level intelligence and sent bombers to bomb Yucheng, Changsha, Yichang, Zhuzhou and other places. As expected, he successfully transferred the biggest threat and luckily gained an advantage on the battlefield. Now, his four divisions under him are fighting the Chinese on two battlefields. Among them, the Vietnam battlefield, three divisions of Hachiba Haruki, Kawabian Masazo and Harada Kuroyoshi attacked Du Yuming's army, which is even more powerful.

The advantage is that it is very strong to capture Guangxi in one fell swoop. As for the Guangdong battlefield, although facing the fierce attack of the four armies of Xu Tingyao's 35th Army, he seemed to have only one of the 5th Divisions that had just been formed to fight, but he still had two trump cards, namely the Taiwan Brigade of Dingqi of Yantian and Takeshi Sakurada's guard mixed brigade... Just waiting for the other party to enter the city of Guangzhou, the new force of these two brigades will suddenly come out and annihilate the other party at the city of Guangzhou.

This is the war! It is the war fought by the Great Japanese Imperial Army!

Imagining the situation where he decided to Guangdong and Guangxi with one battle, Soichi Tanouchi seemed to have found the scenery when he led his troops to sweep North China.

...

Just when the command of Shouyi of the Temple was raging in Guangdong and Guangxi, Bai Suxi, Qin Wei and Xu Tingyao were in trouble and frequently failed, Shanxi in the north also encountered trouble.

Hu Zongnan never expected that Yoshio Shizuka Yoshio dared to attack him on his own initiative. In his opinion, Yoshio Shizuka's first army had 50,000 or 60,000 people, and was still defending various places to prevent Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang, as well as Fu Zuoyi, the most restless in the north. Faced with the oppression of his more than 200,000 troops, he could only passively defend and wait for support. But the facts were beyond his expectations. Yoshio Shizuka not only attacked, but also stopped at Taiyuan and took the chief of staff.

Tachiko Tanaka sent to Datong to deal with Fu Zuoyi, and then as the commander of the 1st Army, he concentrated the forces of a division and two Reading Brigades, and launched a attack on the 1st Army that had just walked out of Lan County... That's right, it was the 1st Army! Yoshio Shinozuka was the commander of the 1st Army of Japan, and he attacked the 1st Army of the National ** Army, the troops that Chiang Kai-shek started, the party army of the Whampoa Military Academy, the direct line of the Central Army, and the core of the core!

The 1st Army vs. The 1st Army!

First battle!

Li Tiejun, commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of the National ** Army, was beaten by Yoshio Shinozuka, and his troops lost more than half of their troops and retreated in panic. The retreat of Li Tiejun caused the entire 1st Army of the National ** Army to fluctuate. He had never expected that the enemy would take the initiative to attack, but then he was at a loss and retreated one after another. Finally, he barely stabilized his position under the leadership of the commander Tao Zhiyue. Just as Tao Zhiyue was furious and wanted to launch a counterattack.

At that time, Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and killed the 80th Army of Kong Lingheng in the south. The 80th Army was prepared for the experience of the 1st Army, but it still seemed a little difficult to face Yoshio Shinozuka's fierce attack. When the 16th Army of Dong Zhao from Lishi rushed over to support, the 27th Division, which was facing the enemy head-on, had suffered a heavy defeat. The division commander Wang Jun, deputy division commander Liang Xixian, and chief of staff Chen Wenqi were all killed in the country.

Hu Zongnan was dizzy by Yoshio Shinozuka's fist. The initial aggressive offensive was a setback. Influenced by Hu Zongnan, Yan Xishan's troops, who wanted to take advantage of the situation and immediately retreated back to Linfen after hearing the news. However, although Yan Xishan retreated back unfaithfully, Hu Zongnan could not withdraw. His target was Taiyuan, and now he was still 180 miles away from Taiyuan. If he was beaten back like this, it would be okay for him to lose his face. The key is that he would also lose Chiang Kai-shek's people. This problem is much more serious than losing half a military and one division. And he also clearly sentenced it

It turns out that the reason why Yoshio Shinozuka dared to take the initiative was not because he relied on his strong military strength. On the contrary, the opponent should think that the defense will be more difficult, so he wanted to repel it with the powerful field capabilities of the Japanese army in the field. Because this not only can stop the enemy, show the Japanese army's momentum, improve morale, but also have greater room for maneuver and not fall into the situation of a defensive and death battle. After all, Mr. Hu not only brought most of the army here this time, but also brought a heavy artillery division. Defending the city under the bombardment of heavy artillery, even with the strength of the Japanese army, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, after Hu Zongnan stabilized the military situation, he ignored Yoshio Shinozuka. The troops formed iron-tube formations that supported each other and continued to slowly head towards Taiyuan. But at this moment, new news came: Tada Jun gathered his directly affiliated 110th Division, the 15th Brigade, and the 6th and 10th Brigades of the 12th Japanese Army Iida Satoko in Shandong, and accompanied them with the Han annihilated puppet army Zhang Lanfeng, Liu Yanfeng's troops and the Han annihilated puppet 24th Division, and rushed straight to Shanxi with great momentum.

"General, what are we doing?"

Over an unknown mountain range in Guizhou.

A small formation of more than a dozen "Hellcats" was sailing southward at a relatively normal speed. In the center of these dozen "Hellcats", there was a Soviet-made TB-3 Tupolev bomber. Robert Sandel was reluctant and unskilled to watch the Chinese pilot next to him operating the Soviet-made bomber. However, he could only start like an apprentice, and couldn't help but complain to Chennard, who was standing behind the two.

"Let's go to support Guangxi." Chennard shrugged. The Chinese are very loyal. After he brought these "Hellcats" back from the United States, he immediately divided half of them and handed them over to him and the American Volunteer Air Force he led. The battle over Guangzhou was fought by his fighter brigade named "Flying Tigers" by Qin Guard and Liu Zhesheng's "Vulture" brigade. The results of that battle were quite good, but unfortunately they were not happy at all. Qin, who had always been afraid of not being able to kill the enemy, was afraid that he would not be able to kill all the enemies. Qin, who had always been afraid of not killing all the enemies, had a great result.

The guards actually asked them to stop when they were ready and let go of most of the Zero. Now, the bombers and transport planes left in Guangxi were forced to take off by these Zero-types of "The Rest of the Cat's Life", and could only watch the army fight to the death. Qin Wei followed the Military Commission in Yucheng, the Aviation Command, and then sent Chairman Jiang a number of telegrams, and finally transferred their "Flying Tigers" back. In order to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese army, they could only fly over the mountainous areas in batches.

As for him, the captain of the Flying Tigers, he didn't need to come here, but Qin Wei asked him to come over. This made him extremely depressed. Because Qin Wei asked him to come not to lead his team to fight with the Japanese aviation army, but to ask him to leave China again and urge the United States to transport the remaining "Hellcat" fighter jets to China as soon as possible.

"The Japanese suddenly became everywhere like crazy. Without us, the sky above Yucheng would be dangerous." Robert Sandel said again. He was originally the US Army Air Force, but because of the generous treatment here, he was summoned by Chennard to China. As a result, he found that he was really popular in China. Not only did he earn a lot of money, but he could always enjoy the treatment of a hero... Especially during this period in Yucheng, it was a pleasure. Unfortunately, he was ordered by the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and he could only say goodbye to the gentle town there.

"There is not too much danger in Yucheng, and there may be trouble in other places." Zhang Xiao was flying the TB-3. When he heard two Americans not talking, he looked at the various instruments of the plane and said casually. [***] Most of the pilots' standards are very high, and he was sent to cooperate with Chennard in his mission and spoke very well in English.

"The Japanese have already bombed Yucheng while we were away." Sandel was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiao's statement, "Now we leave, how could they not be dangerous?"

"There are two 'Hellcat' squadrons in Yucheng, and there are thousands of anti-aircraft guns around, and these anti-aircraft guns are all modified. It is said that the accuracy is greatly improved compared to the past. Even the British chased the Ministry of Defense all day long to buy technology... The last time I was bombed was just because of a temporary negligence and there was no fighter jet to fight against. Now with such protection, how could I still be injured? I am quite worried about the places in Changsha..." Zhang Xiao replied.

"What you said makes sense." Chennard patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder, "It's a pity that we have too few fighters, otherwise we would definitely not be as troublesome as we are now. I hope I can pull all the remaining 'Hellcats' back this time."

"You will definitely succeed, General." Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Because Chief Qin will definitely not allow the 'Sky Guardian' he has worked hard to get to be locked up all the time. He has always been very good at it... By the way, I heard that this batch of planes has actually been transported to Hawaii, right?"

"Yes, it's a pity that those guys stopped again because they heard that there was a war in China." Chennard sighed: "And my first stop is there."

"I believe you can..."

"General, a telegram from Guilin." A head suddenly appeared in the back cabin, "General Qin ordered: land at Guiyang Airport, replenish fuel, turn to Zhuzhou!... Be prepared for battle!"
