Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

After hearing what Tojo Hideki said, everyone present was startled, including Tian Huang, whose scalp was tingling.

Considering the Eighth Route Army's current momentum, choosing a locust soldier to be in charge of the Chinese battlefield, especially one stationed in the north, is definitely not pushing these devils into the fire pit?

If the position of the highest person in charge of the Chinese battlefield was a huge lucrative job in the past, now this position is a huge barbecue grill, and anyone sitting on it will be roasted and covered in grease.

After hearing what Tojo Hideki said, Tianhuang pondered for a long time. Originally, it had considered the successor to Hata Shunroku, and that was Okamura Neiji.

However, when Taiyuan was captured by the Eighth Route Army, a number of high-ranking Japanese officers including Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, Ningji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka were all captured.

There is no better candidate for the time being.

In the end, it was Tian Huang who made the decision: "Send a message to Xi Shouwei Zao, asking him to temporarily take charge of the entire Chinese battlefield situation and wait for the subsequent candidates to be determined before taking over."

"Hai!"

A group of Japanese ministers nodded their heads and agreed that as long as they were not allowed to block the machine gun hole or sit on the barbecue grill, everything was the best arrangement.

"As for Shijiazhuang..."

"Let Xi Shouwei Zou coordinate the entire North China's military forces and make sure to recapture the entire Shijiazhuang within ten days! Shijiazhuang is the railway hub we just opened. It is related to the war situation in the south of China and must not be taken lightly.

If we get a little bit worse here, the war situation in southern China will get worse.

Those Locust Army soldiers who died for the Locust Nation are watching you from the sky."

Tian Huang's words not only used strategy to put pressure on others, but also brought up the soldiers who died fighting for the Huang Kingdom. It can be said that he exerted maximum pressure from both reality and morality.

The Japanese ministers present were startled, knowing that Shijiazhuang would be a key node that must be captured. This was a death order from Tian Huang.

"Hai!"

Everyone agreed in unison, not daring to offer any objection.

In fact, the Locust Room of the Locust Nation now has extremely strong control over the military, and no one dares to disobey the orders of the Heavenly Locust.

......

As the former chief of the Japanese invasion of China, Nishishou Ozo had previously participated in the negotiations in Taiyuan. However, due to the established sneak attack strategies of the 1st and 12th Armies of the Kwantung Army, he gradually faded out of the front line of the negotiations and returned to Peiping, preparing to return to his homeland for recuperation.

But he didn't expect that after Tian Huang issued an order, he would be the chief person in charge of the Chinese battlefield again.

Now, this position is not easy to sit in. It is not like the previous stage where he was invincible and could fight his way in and out of the whole China and attack wherever he wanted.

If Tokyo did not have an insider who said that this was Tianhuang's own intention, it would definitely think that it was its political enemy Hideki Tojo who stabbed it in the back.

It is true that this position is too tiring.

Not to mention, a few days ago, it represented the Locust Army in the negotiations with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. After arriving there, before it could say anything, it was slapped twice in the face by their officer named Li Yunlong, and the bruises have not healed yet.

There are too many thorny problems that this position will face. Not only must he recapture Shijiazhuang occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but he must also sort out the transportation lines throughout North China, negotiate with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi to rescue the captured Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko and other top officers of the empire, and finally coordinate and appease the forces of the Kwantung Army...

Thinking of these problems, Xishouwei Zao felt a pain in his scalp. He wanted to get seriously ill, or stab himself so hard that he could not take this job.

Although he was extremely reluctant, Nishisuozo still had to take the job since his family was still in Tokyo.

Thinking of the ferocious look of the Eighth Route Army officer named Li Yunlong that day in Taiyuan, who seemed to want to tear him to pieces and bite him to death, Xi Shouweizo felt a little trembling in his heart.

It may not know that its opponent in the battle for Shijiazhuang this time is Li Yunlong, who makes him a little scared.

Nishijuozo was not in a hurry to start the battle for Shijiazhuang. It clearly identified the reason for the disastrous defeat of the Kwantung Army's 1st Army and the Iinuma Division. That was the emergence of a new weapon called "missile" that crossed an extremely long distance and bombed the Kwantung Army before it had even deployed or organized its defense.

This preemptive approach greatly deterred the locust army in the entire city of Shijiazhuang. In fact, both the remnants of the Kwantung Army and the Type B Iinuma Division that was originally stationed in Shijiazhuang were completely defeated, so they were completely confused when facing the harassment of a small group of the Eighth Route Army. The camp was blown up, resulting in a farce in which several thousand locusts were chased by dozens of small groups of the Eighth Route Army.

In view of this situation, when fighting for Shijiazhuang, it is necessary to take down the knife hanging over the heads of the locust army first, at least to prevent the Eighth Route Army from launching long-range bombings like this again in a short period of time.

Nishishou Ozo was well aware that the Eighth Route Army had developed this epoch-making weapon and deliberately debuted it on the battlefield for the first time, which was bound to cause excessive casualties to their own side. This was also the convention that the first time a new weapon was born, it would inevitably produce excessive results.

However, it would never allow such a situation to happen again on subsequent battlefields, so it decided that the first target to be attacked was not Shijiazhuang City, but the launch site of the Eighth Route Army's new weapons.

According to the intelligence currently held by the Special High Technology Department, the location where the Eighth Route Army's new weapons were manufactured is most likely Taiyuan or Ping'an County.

However, Nishishou Ozo himself had been to Taiyuan City during the negotiations, and Taiyuan City had been in the hands of the Locust Army for a long time. Even if the Eighth Route Army could transform it into a top-notch factory, it would take some time to manufacture this new weapon. Ping'an County had been controlled by the Eighth Route Army long enough, and this new weapon was most likely researched and developed in Ping'an County.

In addition, common sense suggests that Taiyuan City, as the first large-scale industrial city occupied by the Eighth Route Army, must have been heavily guarded, and anti-aircraft weapons would have been concentrated, so it would have been difficult to attack.

Taking various factors into consideration, Nishishou Oizao decided to pick a soft persimmon to squeeze first, and first mobilized aircraft from the entire North China battlefield to carry out a carpet bombing on Ping'an County.

Aren’t you, the Eighth Route Army, fond of heavy firepower bombing recently?

Then my Locust Army will let you have a taste of the feeling of being bombarded by heavy firepower, to see whether the firepower of your heavy artillery is stronger or the bombs dropped by our planes are more powerful.

You can fire long-range artillery shells with a payload equivalent to two or three tons of TNT explosives, and we can also drop aerial bombs weighing more than half a ton. Let's see who wins this game.
