A Type 92 reconnaissance plane poked its head out of the clouds and came towards Lao Huokou. The person who was flying the reconnaissance plane was Lieutenant Kozuka of the Third Flight Regiment.

China's sky has been completely occupied by Japanese planes.

Although they occasionally encounter some resistance, their backward air defense weapons cannot do anything to them, and the bomber group is right behind.

He came to investigate.

The people in Laohekou have long seen Japanese aircraft smearing the "plaster flag". They hate this kind of aircraft that lay iron eggs.

In February this year, the Japanese sent planes to bomb Laohekou, blowing the thousand-year-old temple Yulin Temple into ruins.

Japanese planes also bombed Guanghua County, causing dozens of casualties. At that time, the Lunar New Year was in full swing. As a result, the county was covered with mourning and every piece of hatred was remembered.

Now this annoying Japanese plane is here again.

Fortunately, the people of Laohekou already knew how to deal with it. The streets soon became empty, and those who hid, those who hid, those who entered the air raid shelter, and those who entered the air raid shelter.

"Hurry, put away the antenna!" Luo Yao also directed the 401 team to take back the mounted antenna.

If the Japanese reconnaissance planes were discovered, they would inevitably be determined to be the commanding body of the Fifth War Zone, and the next step would be a strike.

boom!

The bomber group came over, bombs were dropped one by one, and violent explosions came everywhere. Luo Yao and the others were all used to it.

In the mountain city, you can get bombed in just five different ways, and you can't get used to it.

Moreover, during the bombing, we also summarized a lot of experience in avoiding it. At least we are not psychologically afraid of Japanese aircraft bombing.

As long as it doesn't fall on the top of your head, it's fine.

"Team leader Fang, hurry up and go to the air raid shelter..." Wei Zhiming was extremely anxious. If something went wrong with the 401 team, he would be unreasonable.

"It's okay, the Japanese planes can't blow us up, as long as we don't expose ourselves." Luo Yao smiled and didn't care.

Although there were constant explosions outside and the houses in Wuchang Pavilion were shaking in the vibration, Luo Yao was able to remain so calm, which really convinced Wei Zhiming.

After a wave of bombing.

The Japanese plane flew far away.

Bombing is just a deterrent and to hit the morale of the military and civilians in the Five War Zones. At most, it causes some casualties and cannot shake the will of the War of Resistance.

"Hey, yes, I am Wei Zhiming. There is nothing wrong with the 401 team. Please tell Degong that I will protect the safety of Team Leader Fang and theirs..."

"The team leader, Major General Saburo Endo, the third Japanese Flying Regiment, generated a power to the deporting aircraft squadron that carried out bombing Laokawaguchi to inquire about the damage effect..."

"Every time to set up the antenna again and continue to work. The soldiers in front of us must race against time to provide them with intelligence support. We can decipher one more telegram, and we can win more battles in front and avoid more casualties." Luo Yao ordered with a heavy order.

Looking at the nervous 401 team, Wei Zhiming's eyes became wet and red. No matter whether they could decipher the telegram or not, these people came to help the Japanese invaders in the fifth war zone to fight side by side.

...

In the combat room of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Delin stood in front of the huge military map with his hands on his back. The staff kept coming in and out, reporting on the situation, and making corresponding changes on the map.

"Dong De, the Japanese army's firepower is too strong, with tanks and aircraft assisted, and air supremacy. We have too few heavy weapons. If we fight hard, the pressure will be too great." Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi stood behind Li Delin to report.

"From the current offensive, the Japanese army's strategy is very obvious, it is to drive away my main force, surround the Zaoyang area, and annihilate it." Li Delin said in a deep voice.

"Yes, these two attacking Japanese troops were like two crab pliers, rushing around. If we give up these areas, the Japanese army will take the opportunity to occupy these areas and cut off our ties with southern Henan and northwestern Shanxi. If we fight desperately, the Japanese army's wishes will be in the middle of the Japanese army and press us tightly into this area and then eat it. No matter what we do, it is not the best choice." Xu Zuyi walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick, and gestured.

"What if we resist in the inside and move the main force to the outside and counter-encircle the Japanese army?" Chief of Staff Wu Zhongzhi suggested.

"Not whether we can counter-encircle the Japanese army, the troops must conceal the reconnaissance of Japanese planes in the sky, and we are facing nearly 110,000 elite Japanese troops. The troops in our Fifth War Zone say that there are many people, but the combat effectiveness is very good. Everyone knows that if they can't do it, they will really fulfill their intentions." Deputy Chief of Staff Wang pointed out bluntly.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Dong De, according to the analysis and judgment of the technical department, the Japanese army may carry out large-scale bombing of Laohekou in the near future, in an attempt to paralyze our command center." Huang Xuecun walked in and reported.

"The technical department, which technical department is so ridiculous, why haven't I heard of it?" A senior lieutenant general sneer-general sneered, obviously not believing in this so-called judgment.

"This technical department is a military technical department that the Military Commission just merged and established this month. I don't think I need to explain what this department is doing, right?" Xu Zuyi explained directly with Li Delin's slightly nodded and instructed.

Only a small-scale person knows the existence of the 401 team. Even the senior staff officer in the war zone, Li Delin asked to keep it confidential.

There was a leak in the Ninth War Zone, and he didn't dare to say that his Fifth War Zone Command had no problems at all.

These senior generals of the National Army will not disclose secrets, but it is hard to say the people around him, especially some people do not have a strong sense of confidentiality.

"Dong De, I think it is the tactic of the Battle of Suzao last year. Didn't the Japanese army take advantage of us? We will waste our time with him. He has planes and cannons, but we also have vast mountains, rivers and land. We play hide-and-seek with him. As long as we are in one day, we can pose a threat to Jiangcheng and make him unable to sleep or eat!"

"Isn't this the kind of Communist guerrilla warfare?"

"What's wrong with guerrilla warfare? As long as you can defeat the Japanese invaders, no matter whether he belongs to the Communist Party or the Kuomintang."

"The Japanese army blocked me for nearly a year, and the food and ammunition supplies we obtained were very limited, and our army did not have the advantage in terms of troops to weapons..."

There are radicals and conservatives in the team. All parties must listen to their opinions, but the main general also needs to have their own opinions and judgment.

You can't follow the crowd.

Li Delin never said a word, he had to let people speak. The commander-in-chief of the Five War Zone was not his one-man show, not to mention that he was commanding a unit of miscellaneous troops. In order to fight against Japan, everyone could work together.

If this is strong external pressure, these people have their own little thoughts. He knows that they are not sages, and it is normal to have selfish intentions.

"Snow Village, accompany me to the garden for a walk."

"Oh, Degong." Huang Xuecun hurriedly agreed, followed Li Delin out of the war room, and followed him step by step.

"There are so many people inside just now. If you have any inconvenience to say anything, you can say it now." After coming out, Li Delin asked the guards to stay away, and then asked Huang Xuecun quietly.

"Captain Fang intercepted and deciphered the secret message from the third Japanese aviation regiment. The Japanese army will bomb Laohekou Town with saturation density tomorrow. You will immediately lead the commander-in-chief's headquarters to transfer!" Huang Xuecun said.

"What?" Li Delin was shocked when he heard this. The saturation density bombing was to blow up Laohekou Town into ruins.

"Now that the transfer is, what should we do if so many people in the town do? And their houses and property?" Li Delin asked.

"Team leader Fang said that he would issue a notice in the name of the exercise, so that everyone would evacuate all of Laohekou Town tonight or early tomorrow morning or hide in the nearby air-raid shelter. If they do not listen to advice, they can use coercive measures. If the house collapses, they can be built again. If the people are gone, then nothing will be gone?" Huang Xuecun said.

"Is the intelligence accurate?" Li Delin's face was unsure. This is not a trivial matter. Once the decision is made wrong, it will cause doubts from his subordinates, which will affect the coordination and command of the frontline combat.

"Team leader Fang said that if the Japanese Army Airlines did not change the secret code, the information would be accurate and their bombings were verified in advance." Huang Xuecun said.

Li Delin nodded. He believed that Luo Yao would not joke about such things and lied about military information. He would go to the military court.

"You should draft a notice immediately to inform all military and political organs in Laohekou that they must withdraw from Laohekou Town before 7 a.m. tomorrow." Li Delin ordered.

“Is it in the name of exercise?”

"Well, but you have to control the news and don't let the people in the town know for the time being." Li Delin ordered.

"That ordinary people..."

"I informed the secret service team that they would get up at three o'clock in the morning. Their mission was to drive the people out of the town from door to door and tell all the people that this was an exercise." Li Delin said.

"Understood."

Now evacuate. If there is a Japanese spy or traitor in the town, will the Japanese plane come and go?

Therefore, we can’t do it with great fanfare now, we can only prepare first.

"Can Group 401 have an evacuation plan?" Li Delin asked with concern.

"They carry a lot of military tents. As long as they provide evacuation transportation, they can evacuate from the town as quickly as possible." Huang Xuecun said.

"Okay, send them a few carriages to help them evacuate. Have you found a temporary resettlement site?"

"They seem to have prepared something. I didn't ask about the specific details. There may be more than one spare resettlement site." Huang Xuecun said.

"How could this happen?"

"From my understanding of this team leader, he is a meticulous person who takes one step, looks forward three steps, and thinks three steps. I believe he had long expected that after the war started, he would bomb Laohekou in a Japanese way, and he had arranged for his subordinates to find a backup station." Huang Xuecun said.

"No wonder Jiansheng recommended this person to me. The young man was so old that it was incredible." Li Delin said in surprise.
