    Although the Plan No. 5 was not implemented in the end, Li Guoyao did not report what he knew to the Military Commission and the Hebei-Cha War Zone. Except for the Jiujiu Army, other troops were nervously preparing for war.

    There are many reasons for not saying it, but the most important thing is that even if he said it, his superiors wouldn't believe it, and they would even think he was joking.

    Secondly, there were many unexpected factors that led to the Japanese army's final termination of Plan 5. Although Li Guoyao knew the results, he did not know whether the Japanese army would eventually change its decision because of the Nationalist Government's laziness if he reported the situation.

    Therefore, before you are absolutely sure, it¡¯s better not to get involved in this kind of thing!

    What's more, Li Guoyao always likes to sneak into the village and shoot people. He is happiest when he grows up in a wretched way!

    So while ordering the troops to continue resting and recuperating, Li Guoyao ordered the logistics department and the intelligence department to take action frequently, exchanging large amounts of money and military receipts for various materials.

    With the unremitting efforts of Li Guoyao and others, large quantities of food, steel, explosives, cotton cloth and other materials arrived at the base area, constantly preparing the troops for the next war.

    During this period, the North China Front Army also noticed anomalies. Before the ground troops were prepared, Okamura Neiji concentrated more than 200 fighter planes and carried out frantic bombing of the area controlled by the Ninth Army for 25 days.

    During the 25 days of bombing, Guisui, Datong, Jining and other places received special attention from the Japanese army, but nothing happened. Although the Japanese bombing caused considerable losses to Li Guoyao's troops and the people in the base areas, there was still no loss.  It affected the normal operation of the troops, and did not force Li Guoyao's troops to surrender.

    On the contrary, during the bombing, a total of 68 fighter planes were shot down by the Japanese army, and nearly 100,000 tons of ammunition were consumed.

    As a last resort, Okamura Neiji had to order a suspension of bombing of Li Guoyao's headquarters in early October.

    The Japanese military later made a summary of the bombing. They believed that the decision to concentrate aviation forces on Li Guoyao's headquarters was a wrong decision. The reason was that the self-sufficient agricultural economy in northern China relied very little on cities, so the cities were destroyed.  Afterwards, it had little impact on all aspects.  Simply bombing a large city will not bring its people and military to submission.

    But if they want to bomb rural areas on a large scale, the price the Imperial Japanese Army has to pay is really too high. After all, there are tens of thousands of villages in China. Even a single bombing of a village can destroy the remaining front troops.  It's not cost-effective to work with such a small family background.

    And the Chinese people are accustomed to man-made disasters that have occurred over the years, such as warlord melees, civil wars, etc.  Therefore, the bombing not only made it difficult for them to surrender, but also aroused their hatred.

    And compared with the German bombing of Britain, London is a representative of the world's modern civilized metropolis. Its residents account for about one-tenth of the British population, and the city is a representative of the power of the British Empire.

    After the war in Europe broke out, the German army carried out continuous bombings on this city, which was only separated by a strait. Within a year, about a thousand aircraft were used to carry out continuous bombings, but Britain did not surrender.

    You must know that it is the German Air Force, and its strength can completely defeat the Japanese Air Force.

    Today, the Japanese air force in China is limited in number, and it takes off from Nanyuan in Peiping, Dongjuzi in Tianjin, and Wangcun Airport in Yuncheng to bomb the defense areas of the Ninth Army. The round trip time takes four hours. The pilots are extremely tired and consume a lot of money.  The supplies are also extremely terrifying.

    " Just dispatching one bombing team at a time would consume 35,000 litas of aviation gasoline, plus the consumption of ammunition. If the bombing continued like this, it would be the Japanese army that would eventually be brought down.

    Although the Japanese bombing was over, Okamura Neiji still regarded Li Guoyao's position as a thorn in his flesh. Even the first phase of the No. 5 plan was launched against Tianzhen and Datong controlled by Li Guoyao. They  It is necessary to open up the Pingsui Railway.

    Therefore, after the major bombing, taking advantage of the autumn harvest in the Suicha area, Okamura Ningji frequently sent small groups of troops deep into Li Guoyao's defense area to carry out destruction.

    They attacked ordinary villages, even burning cornfields about to be harvested, and would also carry out sneak attacks when encountering garrison strongholds. They completely brought the essence of the small team raids of the Jiujiu Army to the extreme.

    In a very short period of time, the Jiuji Army suffered huge losses!

    However, just when Okamura Neiji thought he had found the covert agent of Li Guoyao's command, the headquarters of the Ninth Army temporarily issued guidance on counter-infiltration operations.

    Based on this guidance, the headquarters of the Ninth Army requested all garrisons and civilians in various places to join this battle.

    heWe requested that the defense zone enter a second-level combat readiness state, that militiamen and civilians in various places immediately activate tunnels in each village, and that the troops enter combat readiness.

    In order to deal with the sneak attack by the Japanese squad, Li Guoyao asked the militiamen in each village to strengthen their vigilance no matter day or night, and implement a system of light and dark sentry posts. Once unknown armed forces were found approaching the village, they would immediately notify the people in Zhuangzi to take refuge in the tunnels through the sound of gongs.  .

    These tunnels were dug by Li Guoyao under the orders of grassroots organizations in various places to lead the people during the slack period. They were mainly used to prevent the armed infiltration of the Japs.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao also ordered the security forces in various places to set up rapid response forces to provide rapid reinforcements once there is an emergency in that place.

    The main force is also making preparations for counter-infiltration, setting up checkpoints at all levels to ensure that the Japanese squad that infiltrates into the base area can come and go.

    Since Li Guoyao¡¯s department had very rich experience in this matter, apart from suffering some losses due to lack of preparation at the beginning, in the next more than two months, the two sides won and lost each other, and basically tied.

    Time came to the end of 1942 in the blink of an eye. In mid-December, as Li Guoyao expected, the Japanese base camp finally issued an order to suspend the No. 5 combat plan.

    In order to convey this order, the China Expeditionary Force held a top-secret meeting in Nanjing on December 17 with the participation of senior officers. In addition to senior officers from the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, the meeting was also attended by Commander Gang of the North China Front.  Neiji Murura, Commander Tsukada Tsukada of the 11th Army stationed in Hankou, Shimomura Sada, commander of the 13th Army stationed in Shanghai, Takashi Sakai, commander of the 23rd Army stationed in Guangzhou, and others.

    After the meeting, the participants left Nanjing and returned to their original locations.

    The same goes for Lieutenant General Tsukada. On the 18th, he flew back to Hankou from Nanjing on a "Type 97" transport aircraft with Takeshi Fujiwara, who had served as the chief of staff of the 56th Division and is now the senior staff officer of the 11th Army.

    But what was unexpected was that after the plane flew over Anqing, it lost contact with the ground.

    After that, the Japanese 11th Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force respectively dispatched one unit each of the nearby 3rd Division, 40th Division, 68th Division, and 116th Division to enter the Dabie Mountains to search.

    Finally, on December 25, troops of the 68th Division discovered the wreckage of the plane and the bodies of Tsukada Gong and others near Mitao Temple in the west of Taihu County, Anhui Province.

    From the remaining aircraft body, bullet holes were found.  After analysis and judgment, the Japanese army believed that Tsukada's plane was forced to fly at low altitude due to cloudy weather after passing through Anqing, and was eventually hit and crashed by anti-Japanese troops on the ground.

    This No. 5 combat plan was really ill-fated. It received much attention after it was proposed. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops prepared for it for more than half a year, but in the end it came to nothing.

    That¡¯s all. For this reason, the Japanese army also took the life of a lieutenant general commander. This loss is really not small.

    When the news came, Li Guoyao in Datong City smiled and suspended the plan. Okay, the little devil has stopped, then it will be the Chinese army's turn to start counterattack!

    Afterwards, Li Guoyao locked himself in his room for a full week, working hard to formulate and perfect a huge plan!

    A week later, Li Guoyao¡¯s plan was finally released. On the home page of the completed combat plan were written two big words - Eastern Expedition!

    PS: Please give me a monthly ticket. This month, Laoshu ranked 13th in the monthly ticket list. The results are a bit poor. Brothers, please help me and support me. Thank you!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
