After the results were compiled, Li Guoyao simply held a summary meeting to summarize the development during this period, then optimized the statistical data and reported it to the Sulu Theater Headquarters and the Military Commission.
After receiving the telegram from Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters, Chongqing was greatly shocked and immediately called the Sulu Theater Headquarters for verification!
There was no way around it. The results reported by Li Guoyao's troops were too great. Twenty thousand enemies were wiped out. Including the wounded, the Japanese army suffered losses of at least thirty thousand. In addition, a large number of weapons and equipment were seized, including even a joint force. Team flag.
What deserves more attention from Chongqing is that Li Guoyao's troops also captured more than two thousand Japanese prisoners, the only ones on the Chinese battlefield.
If all of this is true, then it would definitely be great news for the current National Government.
During this period, the Japanese army caused huge losses to the Nationalist Government in northern Hubei and the Yichang area. Even the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army was sacrificed, which also made the Nationalist Government very passive both domestically and internationally.
You must know that the National Government is currently seeking assistance from the United States, Britain and other countries. To put it bluntly, it wants these countries to provide economic assistance or interest-free loans to China.
¡°But no one¡¯s money comes from strong winds. If the Chinese army cannot demonstrate its combat effectiveness with results in battle, then no one will dare to extend an olive branch to China, lest the money will be wasted.
Originally, the Battle of Kunlun Pass made the United States very optimistic, and President Roosevelt also showed signs of relenting. As a result, the Chinese army suffered a disastrous defeat in southern Guangxi within a few days.
If Li Guoyao¡¯s troops really severely damaged the 17th Division in this battle, it would bring a lot of benefits to the entire National Government!
Of course, the premise is that this can withstand investigation, otherwise it may have counterproductive effects.
And the Sulu War Zone did not dare to neglect, Yu Xuezhong immediately sent an investigation team to Xiong'er Mountain to investigate the situation!
But the investigation team was escorted to southwestern Shandong by Li Guoyao as far as Xiong'er Mountain. After all, this is the main battlefield!
In fact, it is easy to say that the investigation is simple. After all, it cannot be true or false, nor can it be true!
When the members of the investigation team saw with their own eyes the graves where Japanese corpses were buried in various places and the more than 2,000 Japanese prisoners in Heze City, everyone was dumbfounded. There were thirty or forty prisoners in Heze, Dingtao, Chengwu, and Shan County alone. There are huge graves, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers are buried under these graves.
And these are only the corpses of Japanese soldiers collected by the Chinese army, not counting those collected and cremated by the Japanese themselves. Based on those Japanese prisoners, the investigation team quickly concluded that the achievements of Li Guoyao's unit were all true.
After the situation was reported to the Military Commission from the Sulu Theater Headquarters, everyone was stunned, especially Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
I remember that when he transferred Li Guoyao to go north to Shandong, he was determined to let this unit fend for itself. However, no one expected that a year and a half later, instead of being wiped out by the Japanese, Li Guoyao's unit did not starve to death himself. It¡¯s getting even more awesome.
In the past, it was just a small fight, but this time he actually directly killed a field division of the Japs, which is really awesome.
Mountain city. Official residence appointed.
In the small garden, Chairman Chiang raised his head and looked at the foggy sky, feeling a little depressed.
Everything in this mountain town is good, but the climate is unbearable. It¡¯s almost June, and the weather here is still mainly cloudy and foggy, and the sun may not shine even one day in a month.
"But it's a blessing in disguise. Although the foggy weather makes people feel depressed, it also has an advantage, that is, the Japanese planes can't bomb.
Thinking of the Japs¡¯ planes, Chairman Chiang became very upset. During this period of time, the Japs¡¯ aviation forces were like drinking chicken blood, and they continued to carry out large-scale bombings to the rear.
According to the latest information obtained by the Bureau of Military Statistics, the Little Devils have assembled a total of 7 aviation groups during this period. Among them, the navy and air force include the 21st Aviation Group, the 22nd Aviation Group, the 23rd Aviation Group, etc., which are affiliated to the 11th Air Fleet. 274 light and heavy bombers were dispatched.
As for the Army, it was under the unified command of Lieutenant General Toshi Kinoshita, the commander of the 3rd Aviation Group that entered Yuncheng. There were also four aviation groups participating in the war.
Unlike the previous bombings of major cities, the targets of the Japanese army this time were somewhat scattered. In addition to places such as Chongqing and Chengdu, many small counties were targeted by the Japanese army. This made the senior officials of the National Government a little confused.
Of course, no matter other places, this mountain city will always be the focus of the Japanese army.
So Chiang Kai-shek's life was not easy during this period, and it was rare to walk in the garden like this!
At this moment, Wang Shihe, the director of the Attendance Office, strode over and said: "Principal, Chief Chen, Minister He and Director Dai are here and waiting for you in the small living room!"
"Well, let's go!"
After returning to the living room from the garden, the three close friends stood up to greet him with a very respectful attitude!
"Everyone sit down!"
After the guests and hosts sat down, Lao Jiang took a sip of tea and then asked: "Ci Xiu, what's going on with the Japanese aviation force these days?"
Chen Cheng immediately took out a document and said: "Commissioner, starting from the 13th, the Japanese army carried out large-scale bombing of towns in the rear area. What we have collected so far is that the reconnaissance mission of the Japanese 3rd Flying Regiment The 44th Squadron bombed Fengjie County in Sichuan on May 13th. On the same day, it bombed the Yun'an Factory in Yunyang County in eastern Sichuan. On the 14th, it bombed Badong, a city along the river in western Hubei Province. On the 16th, it bombed a city along the river in eastern Sichuan. Wushan and the Daning Factory in Wuxi County to the north bombed salt-carrying ships in Sandouping and other places on the south bank of the Yangtze River west of Yichang County in Hubei Province on the 19th."
"The 18 aircraft of the 75th Light Bombing Group postponed their bombing of Changde, Xiangtan and other cities in Hunan until May 15 due to weather conditions. After May 16, the weather in northern Sichuan deteriorated, causing the heavy bombers stationed in Yuncheng to The 60th Group was unable to carry out bombing. The enemy naval and air force bombing force stationed in Hankou jointly bombed Chongqing with the 60th Heavy Bombardment Group stationed in Yuncheng on May 19, but for some unknown reason, they finally changed their targets to Xi'an and Xianyang."
"On May 21, the Japanese army in Yuncheng dispatched 5 reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the weather, routes and targets. On the same day, Ogawa's 60th Squadron flew over Chongqing and bombed warehouses and newly established factories in the northwest of the city. . As of now, in less than half a month, a total of 72 of our towns have been bombed by the Japanese army, a large number of factories have been lost, and the people have also suffered heavy casualties!"
Chairman Chiang frowned and asked: "What is the intention of the Japanese army to bomb the small county town below with such force?"
Chen Cheng immediately said: "According to our analysis, the little devil's goal should not be to attack our military targets or force us to surrender. Its main purpose should be to systematically attack our country's rear military bases, factories, transportation, cities, etc." Destruction in order to weaken the ability to resist war and create a war-weary mentality."
"Keep talking!"
"Commissioner, due to the influence of U.S-Japan relations, the Soviet Union's military assistance to our country has gradually decreased. The amount of U.S. aid materials to China is still small, and due to the impact of the road from Yangon, Myanmar through Yunnan, the transportation volume is limited, so We still rely on ourselves to produce a large part of our supplies. Bombing counties and factories in the rear areas can take this opportunity to weaken our country's limited military power and destroy our war potential!"
"There is also the systematic bombing of Sichuan's salt industry. Currently, Sichuan's salt industry accounts for a considerable proportion of government revenue. Therefore, destroying Sichuan's salt industry is a disaster for us!"
After listening to Chen Cheng¡¯s analysis, Chairman Jiang couldn¡¯t help but nodded, and then asked again: ¡°In that case, do you have any countermeasures?¡±
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "According to our investigation, the Japanese army's arrangements for the airport for this bombing are the 1st flight of the 60th Heavy Bombardment Squadron, the 10th Independent Flying Combat Squadron, and the 83rd Independent Flying Reconnaissance Squadron. The regiment command is stationed at two airports in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province; the 44th Reconnaissance Group and the 75th Light Bombardment Group are under the command of Saburo Endo's 3rd Flight Group and are stationed at Jingmen Airport in Hankou and its west; the 11th Air Force Fleet of the Navy and Air Force, Stationed at Hankou, Xiaogan and Jingmen airports."
"For these fighters with land airports as their core, we can definitely find ways to destroy their airports. Although we don't have many fighters, they still have a certain combat effectiveness when used intensively. In addition, ground forces can also specifically target Japanese airports. We are already laying out the detailed plan for a breaking attack!"
"Well, then this matter is settled, let's talk about the situation on the battlefield in Shandong next!" Chairman Jiang said solemnly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
