The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

At seven o'clock in the morning, Taiyuan Airport, which had been bustling for several hours, finally quieted down.

All 21 intact planes were towed to the grove next to the airport and hidden.

The plane looks like a giant, but it is not heavy.

Dragging them with an armored vehicle, it was easy to pull them into the woods and camouflage them.

More than 20 planes that were bombed were scattered on the tarmac. Looking down from the sky, the airport was full of wreckage. There were at least [-] planes by visual inspection, which was exactly the same as the number of planes equipped at Taiyuan Airport.

The airport dormitory has been bombed into ruins, there are unburned wood everywhere, billowing smoke...

The control tower, the command center... can no longer see what it used to be, and there is black smoke everywhere.

"Buzzing..."

The roar of the plane suddenly sounded over the airport and reached Huang Yu's ears. When he looked up, he saw two planes approaching from far to near, slowly flying towards the airport.

First, I circled the airport twice at high altitude, and after confirming that there was no Eighth Route Army at the airport, I slowly lowered the flight altitude, and circled back and forth eight or nine times close to the airport before leaving angrily.

Not long after, an investigative telegram appeared in the hands of Yoshio Iwamatsu.

The chief of staff also introduced: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Reconnaissance by the aviation force showed that all the planes on the airport apron were destroyed. According to visual inspection, there were at least [-] plane wrecks, which is about the same number as the number of planes equipped at Taiyuan Airport."

"Airport dormitory, control tower, headquarters... were completely destroyed in the whole battle."

"Only the oil depot and the airport runway were not bombed."

"Aviator asks for instructions: Do you need to use bombs to destroy the airport runway and oil depots?"

Yoshio Yanmatsu became angry when he heard it, and scolded unceremoniously: "Can't you use your brain?"

"Airport shells and oil depots are of no value to the Eighth Route Army except for our use. Now that aerial bombs are used to destroy the shells and oil depots, do you think they are helping the Eighth Route Army or helping us..."

"It should be to help them?" The chief of staff asked with a look of uncertainty.

"Of course to help them!" Yoshio Iwamatsu replied angrily.

"The Eighth Route Army must have been reluctant to part with the explosives so they didn't blow up the shells and the oil depot. We can use it as soon as we regain the airport, and we don't need to spend time repairing it."

"If a plane is dispatched to blow them up, it will take a lot of time to restore the airport in the future. Do you know how much this will delay the battle?"

"Tell the aviation soldiers not to manage the Taiyuan Airport anymore, and find a way to find the Eighth Route Army operating around Taiyuan. Attack if you can, and if you can't attack, let me stare at them and determine their main attack direction tonight."

"Airplanes will also be deployed to reinforce the Jinzhong garrison."

"To cover their retreat to Taiyuan, to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing them halfway, and to garrison troops in Taiyuan."

…………

Huang Yu and Li Yunlong were lurking in the other direction of the airport, watching the little devil's plane leave over the airport, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The twenty or so captured planes wanted to fly back to the base, and they couldn't leave the airport runway, which is why he didn't blow up the shells.

If the Japanese air force lost its head and blew up the runway, no matter how capable Huang Yu was, he would not be able to send the plane to the base.

Fortunately, the Devils Aviation saw that the runway was more useful to them, so they did not attack the runway.

"Team leader..." The radio operator suddenly ran towards Huang Yu.

"Battle Commander Wei sent an urgent message: The little devils defending Jinzhong suddenly abandoned the city and retreated."

"They gave up their supplies, ammunition and all heavy weapons, and only carried light infantry weapons. They suddenly withdrew from Jinzhong and took a small road to Taiyuan."

"Battling Commander Wei asks for instructions."

"Should we send cavalry and chariot troops to chase them down?"

"No matter how light a devil is, no matter how fast he runs, he can't compare to a four-legged war horse."

"Let the cavalry pursue them now, and they will definitely be taken down."

Li Yunlong instantly became excited.

I raided Taiyuan Airport last night, and I brought two battalions with me and didn't even have a mouthful of soup.

It's not easy to come across an opportunity to fight devils, so I can't miss it.

Immediately proposed to Huang Yu: "Little Huang..."

"There are planes watching from the sky, cavalry combat is too dangerous."

"I led the troops to kill them in units of squads and platoons."

"The Japanese and puppet troops did not carry heavy weapons, and the troops marched lightly. They happened to fight guerrillas with them and used mobile warfare to consume them outside Taiyuan City."

"In this way, we will have fewer opponents when we attack Taiyuan in the future."

"Don't look at this group of Japanese and puppet troops, there are only a few thousand."

"But if they are allowed to enter Taiyuan City and rely on Taiyuan's solid fortifications to fight against them, the fighting power of the thousand-day puppet army will be no less than two or three thousand-day puppet troops."

"With such a strong potential opponent, we can't let them enter Taiyuan."

Li Yunlong's analysis was well-founded, and everyone around him showed approval after he finished speaking.

But Huang Yu didn't answer the call, and after thinking for a minute, he refused decisively.

"Do not……"

"We stand still and let the Japanese and puppet troops withdrawn from Jinzhong return to Taiyuan safely."

"Why..." Including Li Yunlong, many people showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

Huang Yu immediately explained: "We need time."

"Otherwise, how would those captured planes fly back to the base area?"

"If Yoshio Iwamatsu feels a sense of crisis now, he will send troops back from the front line."

"At the speed of the Japanese army's march, they could return to Baoding in at most three days.

"The crisis facing the Northwest Shanxi Base has been resolved, but all the twenty or so planes we have seized so hard have to stay here, and none of them can fly back."

"The anti-sweeping campaign in the Northwest Shanxi base area is in the persistence stage. According to the latest information I have received, it will be fine for them to persist for another ten days."

"If Yoshio Iwamatsu can be allowed to transfer troops from the front line later, we can safely return the more than 20 planes captured last night to the base area, explaining that we can still relieve the siege of the Northwest Shanxi base area."

Li Yunlong got it right, his frowning brows relaxed at the same time, and he suddenly realized: "I understand..."

"The elimination of Jinzhong's breakout troops seems to be an advantage, and it will reduce the combat pressure for us to attack Taiyuan next, but it also broke Yoshio Iwamatsu's determination to defend Taiyuan with his own strength."

"Since I have no ability to defend Taiyuan, I can only transfer troops from the front line."

"If more than [-] planes want to fly back to the base area, they need not only pilots, but also an airport where they can land, and a large number of troops to guide the planes..."

"It all takes time to plan."

"As long as Yoshio Iwamatsu can send troops back from the front line to help later, mistakenly thinking that we can't threaten Taiyuan's safety for the time being, the Japanese puppet army of [-] should not fight."

"Xiao Huang, you are good enough..."

"I have thought of such a far-sighted thing, no wonder the head of the headquarters named you to lead a team to reinforce Northwest Shanxi."

"I trust you in this matter."
