Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

If you want to ask whether the soldiers believed it or not, that doesn't matter. Zeng Jiwen believed it anyway, and it was not up to the Japanese army to believe it or not.

However, Zeng Jiwen did not expect that the Japanese army actually believed it and spent a long time on research and development. It turned out to be like a giant firework, which caused great trouble to the Japanese troops on the front line. However, this is a story for later.

Zeng Jiwen also planned to concentrate the 107 rocket launchers and use them as a direct strategic force. To this end, Zeng Jiwen directly organized an artillery battalion with the 12 newly produced rockets. As for the number, Zeng Jiwen and everyone else would think about it later.

At the same time, for another type of rocket launcher, Zeng Jiwen asked each regiment to set up a special rocket launcher platoon, with 48 people and a total of 18 rocket launchers.

Whenever there is a combat operation that needs to be decentralized, it is divided into squads, with each battalion having one squad with 6 rocket launchers.

At the same time, each rocket launcher is engraved with a number. In case of any damage or other circumstances, the rocket launcher must be recovered and must not be lost on the battlefield. The regiment will assign a special person to be responsible for this.

Zeng Jiwen also knew that no matter how secret it was, it would definitely be leaked after a while, but for now, Zeng Jiwen's plan was to extend the confidentiality period as much as possible.

At that time, Taiyuan Airport and Shijiazhuang Airport can use the ultra-long range of the 107 rocket launcher to scout the situation and then raze the airport to the ground.

At the same time, troops can be sent to block the Japanese army, and when the bombardment of the airport is almost done, they can turn around and bombard the Japanese army again.

As for the small airport in Handan, the special operations brigade can be directly beheaded, and troops can be sent to eliminate the security brigade and destroy the airport at the same time.

Thinking of this, he immediately had an idea in his mind. After discussing with Zhou Shi, Wang Zhuo and others, he sent troops to conduct reconnaissance and stake out several airports, keeping a close eye on the actions of these three airports.

About a week later, the air in the entire Jin area began to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The Japanese troops have been silent since they successfully raided and occupied southern Shanxi in early April. After the Japanese occupied Yuncheng, Zeng Jiwen once thought that the Japanese would immediately turn around and begin to encircle the 389th Brigade, so he was ready to call up all the regiments to prepare for a counter-encirclement. However, upon checking, the Japanese troops were silent.

In fact, this is also related to Zeng Jiwen. Since Zeng Jiwen crippled the 20th Division, he then destroyed the 108th Division in an organized manner.

All in all, more than 30,000 Japanese troops were wiped out by Zeng Jiwen. This number was probably known only to the commander of the First Army, Naosaburo Okabe, and the generals of the First Army. Most people in the North China Front Army had the impression that the 108th Division was wiped out as a whole, and the most they had lost before that was a regiment.

Otherwise, if the 108th Division was wiped out this time, if any military commander escaped, the First Army might have told the North China Front Army that the 108th Division suffered heavy casualties, but its organization was still there, as for the battle losses. This was what his predecessor, the commander-in-chief, Seiji Kozuki, taught him.

This led to an embarrassing problem. The North China Front Army was still fighting fiercely in the Xuzhou battlefield at this time. In addition to supporting the Xuzhou battlefield, the reserve troops organized in the rear decided to rebuild the 108th Division (the regimental flag was burned but not captured) considering the huge vacuum of insufficient troops that began to appear in Shanxi.

Previously, more than half of the 20th Division had suffered casualties, and Kazuki Seiji reported less than a regiment to the North China Front Army, resulting in the 20th Division not being fully staffed.

Taking advantage of this attack on southern Shanxi, Okabe Naosaburo began to gradually increase the casualties and fill the previous gaps, so much so that the North China Front Army was surprised.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the 389th Brigade, the combat effectiveness of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has also increased. It seems that the Shanxi area cannot be underestimated.

Only the commander of the 14th Division, Kenji Doihara, who was attacking from behind, noticed a clue and guessed something, but he didn't say anything, after all, they were in the same camp.
