Shanxi has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There is a saying that the one who wins the north starts from Shanxi. You can look at the history, and it is basically the same.
The Japanese devils established the puppet Manchukuo in the Northeast, and they ruled for a long time, but in North China, they were unable to concoct a second Manchukuo. The main reason was Shanxi!
The area of ??Shanxi is not large, but most of it is mountainous, and only a few basins are relatively stable areas. If the Japanese devils completely occupy Shanxi, there will be no worries.
Going south, you can kill Tang Enbo in Henan, and go west to attack Shaanxi. However, the Japanese devils did not achieve their goal in the end. They only occupied a part of Shanxi. The forces such as the Central Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Eighth Route Army are intertwined and the situation is complicated.
So, can the devil give up Shanxi?
Of course it is impossible. If there is no Shanxi, then the devils will have nothing to do in the North China Plain. The Eighth Route Army can come out from the mountains from time to time, and those who kill the devils will turn their heads. After retreating back to the mountains, the devils would only be beaten and had no way to fight back.
This is the strategic advantage of Shanxi, the terrain is dangerous, and it extends in all directions. Shanxi is condescending, occupying Shanxi, and can easily attack the North China Plain. But now that the devils have occupied a part of Shanxi, they have reached the limit of their attack. Their main force is fighting in the south, and it is impossible to expand the battlefield in Shanxi.
In later generations, party history also made a high evaluation of Shanxi: Shanxi is the center of the war of resistance behind the enemy in North China, the foothold and starting point for the Eighth Route Army to open up the battlefield behind the enemy in North China, and the birthplace of the anti-Japanese base areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Jinsui, Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu The land, one of the main battlefields where the party led the Eighth Route Army and the people's heroic resistance against Japan, is a solid barrier and avant-garde position for defending the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region and the Party Central Committee.
And now, the First Army guarding Shanxi is also one of the main forces of the devils, the headquarters of the First Army suffered a great humiliation on this day!
A big slap hard on the devil's face.
The headquarters of the First Army is burning into the sky at this time. More than 20 mortar shells are evenly scattered in the headquarters. Although the individual power is not very powerful, they all fall in the headquarters. Now, There is no longer an inch of intact ground in the entire headquarters.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Ichiro Aoki yelled loudly. He and his men were carrying buckets to put out the fire. What happened to Yoshio Shinozuka in the burning house?
"Commander, Commander!" Finally, watching the fire gradually diminish, Aoki Ichiro couldn't bear it any longer. He led the crowd and began to remove the purlins above. Just under the tiles, several corpses could be seen. All over the place.
However, none of the corpses belonged to the Commander.
As long as you don't see a dead body, it's fine!
Aoki Ichiro's heart relaxed a little, he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, clean up this place, the commander must be below!"
Yoshio Shinozuka, although not as dazzling as the flower of the imperial army of the Kwantung Army, but he is also a very good officer of the empire, he was born in Tokyo in 1884, and he set up a dream of joining the army since he was a child. After graduating from the school as chief, he applied for the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. After graduating, he went to the Army University and ranked fifth in his grades. He was awarded a saber by the emperor.
The excellent grades allowed Yoshio Shinozuka to win the title of "Military Scholar". Since then, he has been on a steady journey, went to Germany for further studies, commanded the troops below, and got to where he is today step by step. How could a person like him die in an air strike inexplicably!
Aoki Ichiro has such a belief at this time, and must have such a belief.
The military regulations of the empire are quite strict. If the commander of the army dies in battle, everyone in the army must avenge the commander, even if it is all jade pieces. Now, they just can't fight the sky. Therefore, if Shinozuka Yoshio died, there would definitely be a huge turmoil among the senior management of the First Army.
As a person who experienced it personally, the consequences of Aoki Ichiro will definitely not be much better.
Therefore, Aoki Ichiro was quite worried at this time. In a short period of time, the room of the headquarters had been cleared out. Now, when the table was exposed, Aoki Ichiro knelt there and planed it hard with both hands. Broken bricks and tiles, and then, a voice came from inside.
"Mine, it's okay, hurry up, notify Taiyuan Airport, and order the Imperial fighter plane to take off!"
When Shinozuka Yoshio heard the voice of the report coming from outside, he knew?It was too late, the plane flew over, once it came to bomb, and he went out rashly, he would be courting death.
Therefore, at this critical moment, he shrank his body and got under the sturdy Eight Immortals table, followed by explosions one after another.
At this time, everyone exposed to the outside is in danger. Several of his adjutants wanted to go out for deployment. Then, bombs fell one by one, and his house was also patronized.
Because he was hiding underneath, he was lucky. This table is really too strong! However, another fire broke out next, and if Aoki Ichiro hadn't launched a rescue immediately after the bombing, he would probably have died in the sea of ??flames.
Now, although Yoshio Shinozuka is still alive, he is quite embarrassed. His clothes are covered with dust, his face has been blackened by thick smoke, and his saber has even been crushed in the ruins.
However, he still did not lose his mind, and immediately made arrangements.
It is impossible to rely on themselves. To deal with airplanes, we can only rely on airplanes, and let the nearby aviation units take off immediately!
At this moment, suddenly, a huge shock came from the ground, and everything around was shaking violently again! Half of the earth wall suddenly collapsed and smashed towards several people!
Like an old tortoise, Yoshio Shinozuka retracted under the table again, but Ichiro Aoki was not so lucky, the adobe wall fell with a bang, smashing his body and enveloping him completely.
This is simply an earthquake, how could it be so loud? The movement was so huge, could it be that the arsenal was blown up?
Going back under the table of the Eight Immortals, Shinozuka Yoshio thought in his heart that he was quickly judging the situation. The loss this time is so huge that he must not let the other party go back alive, otherwise, the empire will lose all face !
At this time, Qin Baoshan was flying a fighter plane and circled above the railway station. The airflow from the explosion just now almost overturned his plane, and he finally knew how terrifying the explosion of the arsenal was. At this time, the black mushroom cloud is slowly rising. This scene is quite spectacular, and I like it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
