Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 514 Oh my goodness, we actually seized 4000 million dollars, we really made a fortune!

Kiichiro Sasaki looked at the billowing black smoke in Taiyuan City and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He didn't expect Lin Zhenhua's reaction to be so quick. Releasing smoke to interfere with the pilot's vision seemed very stupid, but it was very effective.

Looking at the billowing black smoke rising from the ground, Kiichiro Sasaki really couldn't determine the enemy's hiding place. There were more than 100 places in the entire Taiyuan city where black smoke was burning, even near the Japanese who were resisting stubbornly.

"The fighter squadron immediately descended and tried to use fighter planes to blow away the thick smoke on the ground. When visibility was higher, the bomber brigade immediately attacked and bombed the First Armored Force in Taiyuan City."

"Ushio, you must contact the Commander immediately, inform him of the situation we are facing, and ask for tactical guidance."

Kiichiro Sasao really didn't dare to make a decision on his own. The 12th Army's base was in Taiyuan City, and a large number of personnel had not escaped. If indiscriminate bombing was carried out, it would bring about a series of chain reactions and cause great trouble to the 12th Army's rule in Shanxi Province. I'm afraid he would become the real scapegoat at that time.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who had just escaped to Wenjia Town, had not even had a moment's rest when he received a telegram from Kiichiro Sasaki. The expression on his face suddenly became very gloomy, and he fell into a dilemma.

After learning the contents of the telegram, Mitsui Ippei was also very shocked. When he was making a revenge plan, he subconsciously ignored this matter and opened his mouth to persuade them. After all, many partners of the Mitsui family were still in Taiyuan City and had not escaped. But when he thought about their negligence, Lin Zhenhua seized the opportunity to attack Taiyuan City, he couldn't open his mouth and acted like an ostrich.

Shinozuka Yoshio knew that bombing Taiyuan City was a must, as it would easily hurt his own people. But if he didn't retaliate, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and he shivered back and forth in the room. Five minutes later, he made the final decision, which was to stop the loss in time and not act on impulse.

"Mitsuki-kun, send a telegram to the Sasaki Task Force immediately, asking them not to bomb Taiyuan City, but also not to let the enemy go. Let them choose the right time to strike the enemy."

Mitsui Ippei hurried to the telegraph room to send a message. Ten minutes later, Sasaki Kiichiro received a call back from the headquarters. His expression was even more exciting. He wanted to tear the telegram into pieces. This order from the headquarters was like putting him on the spot. If something went wrong, he would be blamed. He really had no shame at all. It was really infuriating!

This time, Sasakichiro really wronged Shinozuka Yoshio. Shinozuka Yoshio didn't mean to let him take the blame, and wanted to launch a revenge operation when Lin Zhenhua withdrew from Taiyuan City. Fortunately, Sasakichiro was not stupid, and he quickly came to his senses. He also had to thank Colonel Nagata for his advice, otherwise he might have really messed up.

"Order the fighter squadron to continue the search mission. Once the target is confirmed, attack immediately. The bomber formation will continue to wait in the air. As long as the enemy dares to evacuate Taiyuan City, we will seize the opportunity to launch an attack."

"Mr. Ono, find a way to contact the troops below immediately. We can only carry out the bombing after receiving guidance from the troops on the ground. The enemy's entry into Taiyuan City is a huge humiliation for our 12th Army. We must wash away this humiliation, otherwise our 12th Army will become the laughing stock of the entire North China Front Army."

When the Sasaki Task Force set out, it was fully loaded with fuel and ammunition. In addition, it was relatively close to Taiyuan City, so it could stay in the air for three hours. This caused huge trouble for Lin Zhenhua in the city. He thought that the Japanese fighter planes would evacuate after an hour, but he didn't expect that the Japanese fighter planes would confront him this time, and after a stalemate of two hours, they still did not retreat.

Li Yunlong, who was at the Taiyuan Airport, also felt something was wrong. They had originally planned to retreat after an hour, but the Japanese fighter planes were circling in the sky, so Li Yunlong, who was hiding in the smoke, did not dare to show his head.

"Damn it, the damn Japanese are targeting us. We can't just stay here and wait. Tell the brothers to refuel immediately. Give me all our fuel and ammunition. When we leave, we will be more confident."

"Zhang Dabiao, you lead the vehicles that have been restocked with ammunition and fuel, and immediately form two air defense units. Arrange them according to the No. 2 air defense formation that the college students taught you before. As long as the enemy flies at an altitude of less than one thousand meters, hit them hard."

"Sanwazi, your anti-aircraft battalion is the trump card of our armored regiment. You must not let me down at the critical moment. Immediately set up the 88mm anti-aircraft guns for me and fire hard at the Japanese bombers. In addition, you must also set up the two 75mm anti-aircraft guns we captured from the Japanese. We must use the Japanese weapons to deal with the Japanese and let the Japanese air force have a taste of being hit by their own anti-aircraft guns."

After arranging the air defense matters, Li Yunlong ordered the telegraph operator to connect with Lin Zhenhua. Unexpectedly, the person holding the intercom was not Lin Zhenhua but Zhao Gang, which made Li Yunlong very curious.

"Old Zhao, why are you here? Where did the college students go?" Li Yunlong asked curiously.

Zhao Gang replied in a low voice: "Lao Li, the college students are arranging air defense. Just now, a Japanese Zero fighter attacked one of our tanks at low altitude and almost blew it up. The college students suspect that the Japanese got the direction of the ground forces, otherwise they would never have been able to accurately find our tanks in the smoky environment."

"The college students had originally planned to evacuate Taiyuan City an hour ago, but our fighter unit has just arrived at the temporary airport for transit, and needs to stop for refueling. It is estimated that it will take three hours to reach Taiyuan City and carry out the mission of driving away the Japanese fighter planes."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to strike a good blow to the Japanese forces in Taiyuan City. The money we have seized alone is no less than 4000 million yuan. We have really made a fortune this time. Counting the 1000 million yuan we got before, plus this 4000 million yuan, we have a total of 5000 million yuan in our hands. At least in the next year and a half, we don't have to worry about money anymore."

"To be honest, when I heard the news, I was in disbelief. This number is so huge that it not only fills us up, but makes us overfed."

Li Yunlong was really frightened this time, and couldn't help but say: "Oh my god, the Japanese are too damn rich, right? A full 4000 million dollars, I don't know how I spent it. Before, we were worried about the problem of insufficient food, and we didn't dare to transport oil by air because the transportation cost of oil was too high. Now we have become local rich people, so we have to spend the money quickly. Only by converting money into real combat power can we defend the base."

"Old Zhao, you should not just sit there. Take your men and go around Taiyuan City and thoroughly investigate all the damn Japanese trading companies and the businesses of the traitors. We must find oil even in the cracks of the rocks. We must let the Japanese and the puppet army have a taste of being bullied and avenge the dead soldiers and civilians."

This time, Zhao Gang did not refute Li Yunlong's suggestion. After entering Taiyuan, he also learned about the dirty things done by the puppet army and the devils. It would not be too much to kill them ten times.

"Lao Li, I will do as you say in a moment. What worries me most is the situation at your Taiyuan Airport. After all, there are many Japanese expatriates in Taiyuan City, and the Japanese dare not carry out indiscriminate bombing. Taiyuan Airport is different. There are only some Japanese infantrymen left there, and the Japanese pilots may have already evacuated. The Japanese air force can safely and boldly carry out an all-round bombing of Taiyuan Airport."

Li Yunlong's cheerful voice came from the intercom: "Old Zhao, things are really as expected. The Japanese air force launched a tentative attack on Taiyuan Airport, but did not achieve much success. The fire at the entire Taiyuan Airport has not stopped yet. We set fire to the tires of the fighter planes in batches. The smoke covering the sky above Taiyuan Airport has not dissipated yet. It's a bit exaggerated to say that you can't see anything in front of you. It's still difficult to see things clearly within ten meters."

"The Japanese dropped more than a dozen bombs, which only injured a few soldiers. We didn't achieve much success. But we also didn't achieve much success in attacking the Japanese fighter planes. The anti-aircraft weapons deployed in advance were not used at all. The reason is very simple. Our soldiers couldn't see the location of the Japanese fighter planes, so they couldn't hit them even if they wanted to."

"In order to attract the attention of the Japanese pilots, I even arranged for people to fire some shells, hoping to attract the attention of the Japanese pilots through the explosion. But the thick black smoke also obscured the explosion. I tried every possible way, but still didn't achieve any results."

Li Yunlong finally had a chance to find someone to complain to. He was also in a difficult situation now. The only good news was that the troops had not suffered much loss so far, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would never be able to chat calmly with Zhao Gang.

"Commander, the soldiers have completed the supply of fuel and ammunition, and the transport battalion has stored enough oil. We can now detonate the enemy's fuel and ammunition depots at any time. We can ensure that after we leave, Taiyuan Airport will be difficult to re-activate in a short period of time." Zhang Dabiao reported excitedly.
