Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 344 Two Airports
While Sun Ming was hesitating, Wang Xuexin changed the subject and came to fight him in his own way: "Brother Sun, your performance on the battlefield is not comparable to that of ordinary military officers! I also think that , your ability is buried in the Jinsui Army. If Brother Sun is willing, I will recommend it for you? We don’t talk about getting rich and getting rich. The Eighth Route Army doesn’t talk about this. But I guarantee that there will be no large-scale rebellion. Let’s focus on beating devils! Brother Sun, what do you think?”

Sun Ming smiled awkwardly, and replied: "Thank you, Brother Wang, Mr. Sun has little knowledge, so just stay in the Jinsui Army and fool around!"

"No hurry!" Wang Xuexin said, "Brother Sun, think carefully about it. Although the Eighth Route Army lacks this and that, there is one thing that can't be said. It is to know heroes and value heroes. Those who can fight devils are all their own people. Brother Sun is a fighter." Devil's hero, the door of the Eighth Route Army is always open, just come and give me a message whenever you want!"

By the way, Wang Xuexin praised Sun Ming.

But this is also true, and it also gave Sun Ming a reason to surrender.

Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army had no guns, no cannons, and couldn't get enough to eat or wear. Why would Sun Ming, a well-fed regiment adjutant, surrender?
Sun Ming declined on the surface, but his heart felt sore.

Although Wang Xuexin's words were simple, they hit Sun Ming's sore spot.

With Sun Ming's talent and achievements, if it wasn't because he was not good at catering to power struggles, he would have been the leader of the regiment long ago.

Sun Ming believed that as long as he was given a unit, even a third-rate unit with low morale and weak combat power, he could organize it into a team of elite troops that would not lose to the 358th regiment.

However, the Jinsui Army is a complex of various forces and factions. The incompetent would rather let their subordinates be buried with them than delegate power.

Thinking about it, Sun Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

However, Sun Ming clearly distinguishes between public and private.

Although he felt that what Wang Xuexin said was reasonable, it was not a reason to switch to the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Xuexin could see the expression on Sun Ming's face.

Wang Xuexin was secretly happy, because he felt that Sun Ming was not monolithic.

If he wants to take him down... Wang Xuexin thinks that he can only increase his bargaining chips, that is, starting from the righteousness of the nation, let Sun Ming further realize the role that joining the Eighth Route Army can play.

When Wang Xuexin and Sun Ming actively organized the training of the reconnaissance company, the stubborn army finally felt the danger from the devils.

Recalcitrant Army First Theater Command.

Chief of Staff Guo Baizhou graduated from Baoding's 9th class with excellent grades and was among the best. This time he was the first to see the problem.

Guo Baizhou handed a telegram to the commander of the first war zone, and said worriedly: "Commander, the devil's forward has advanced to the bank of the West Yellow River. But he is not eager to attack, which is a bit abnormal!"

The commander looked at the telegram, and then turned his gaze to the sand table with small flags on it.

The devil's forces and the scope of the Eighth Route Army are clearly divided in the sand table, but this does not mean that the commander can think clearly.

"Can the devil take action against the Eighth Route Army?" the commander asked.

Guo Baizhou shook his head and replied: "They don't seem to be eager to attack the Eighth Route Army, but continue to build railways and roads and speed up the transportation of supplies. Now it seems that the devil's goal is probably not to attack the Eighth Route Army's flank, but..."

Speaking of this, Guo Baizhou shut up.

Guo Baizhou knew that if he continued, he would slap the commander and even Chongqing in the face.

At this time, they replaced the commander and even transferred the troops to put the Jinsui Army in danger. The purpose was to lead the disaster of the devils to the Eighth Route Army.

But now the devils are not attacking the Eighth Route Army but pointing their finger at Zhongtiao Mountain...

This will make the First Theater and even the entire Chongqing side a joke.

The commander was silent for a while.

He knew that Guo Baizhou's analysis made sense.

The reason is that the devils did not need so much supplies to attack the Eighth Route Army.

Attacking the Eighth Route Army has never been a question of the amount of supplies, but whether the supplies can be transported into the mountains and find the Eighth Route Army in the mountains and fight a decisive battle with them.

Based on this analysis, if the devil's target was not the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army was beaten and hid in the mountains, then there is only one possibility... Zhongtiao Mountain.

The commander secretly complained, if this is the case, he doesn't know how to step down.

At this time, a staff officer handed over a telegram: "Report, Xi'an was bombed by devils, and there are also enemy reconnaissance planes to detect and capture several enemy spies!"

The commander was overjoyed when he heard the words: "The devil is probably planning to cross the Yellow River to attack Xi'an!"

This is indeed possible. If the devils take Xi'an and then march south to Hanzhong, it will be the gateway to Sichuan and directly threaten the safety of Chongqing.

Guo Baizhou looked at the sand table, but did not speak.

He couldn't tell where the devils would attack.

But... no matter whether the devils cross the Yellow River to attack Xi'an or Zhongtiao Mountain, they have already lost this time, and they have lost completely.

The reason why the commander was happy was because if the devils attacked Xi'an instead of Zhongtiao Mountain, they would not have directly slapped them in the face.

However, what they don't know is that this is actually Okamura Ningji's plan to delay the attack.

The so-called continued westward crossing of the Yellow River to attack Xi'an was nothing but an illusion put on by Neiji Okamura.

This false image is easy to complete, just send a few planes to drop a few bombs, and sacrifice a few spies to confess some information... The information of these spies was even intentionally disclosed by Neiji Okamura.

The reason for this is to further paralyze the garrison in Zhongtiaoshan, making them think that everything the empire is doing now is aimed at Xi'an.

At the same time, Neiji Okamura sent two squadrons of the Continental Advancement Team to infiltrate Zhongtiao Mountain pretending to be businessmen.

It all went well.

But Ningji Okamura is most concerned about the airport.

He knew very well in his heart that the key to this battle was actually aviation... If the aviation could successfully block the supply to Zhongtiao Mountain from the south bank of the Yellow River, the overall situation would be settled.

Therefore, Neiji Okamura asked Yoshio Shinozuka three times in a row in a day: "Is the airport ready? We don't have much time, otherwise the enemy may see through our army's plan!"

Shinozuka Yoshio replied: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, Yuncheng Airport is ready, and Beixiang Airport will take another day!"

Okamura Neiji ordered without thinking: "Send more people to repair overnight, and order them to repair it within half a day!"

"Yes!"

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The chief received a message: "In addition to Yuncheng Airport, the Devils also built an airport in Beixiang Village."

The chief was stunned when he saw the news.

He should have thought a long time ago that an airport might not be able to accommodate two hundred planes.

The Eighth Route Army only had a rocket artillery unit lurking in Yuncheng.

How can one rocket launcher attack two airports?
