Chapter 476 Taiyuan
Wow, wow
The sound of the brigade's footsteps rang at Lanzhou Airport.
"Everyone, I'll wait for you to return here. If there are anyone who can't come back, we will meet in the Martyrs' Cemetery in a hundred years!" Gao Zhihang raised his arm and saluted the group of pilots in front of him.
"See you again in the Martyrs' Cemetery!" The pilots responded with a solemn look at the military salute at the same time!
"Okay, board the plane!" With Gao Zhihang's order, the pilots of the brigade rushed to their seats, and planes soared into the sky. Most of these aircraft were medium-range bombers purchased from the Soviet Union, and a small number of modified Welshwind Type 2 dive bombers produced by the northwest.
"I believe that this time the Japanese army will pay a heavy price." Ge Shiying watched the pilots board the plane one by one with his hands behind his back. The small black dots in the sky kept rushing into the distant sky in the situation of the team until they disappeared invisible.
"Comparing with the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, it is only a fraction of the time. One day, our Northwest Army's fleet will sooner or later appear over Tokyo." Even a soldier like Gao Zhihang, who is usually taciturn, hates the atrocities of the Japanese army to the core.
"There will definitely be this day."
"China is not without talents." Nishio Shousao stepped on the cold and stiff ground and saw the empty factory area. He was slightly surprised. Although the Japanese had spies in Shanxi, he was not very familiar with the entire situation of the Taiyuan Arsenal. At this time, seeing Taiyuan is not behind various heavy machinery for Japan, he couldn't help but smile, "But the Chinese people are good at internal fighting. Although Yan Xishan is the best among the Chinese people, he cannot escape this curse. If one-third or even one-quarter of the provinces can have such actions from Shanxi, the imperial army will definitely not be able to set foot on the land of China."
"Yes, if the Chinese had more arsenals like this, even if the empire came in, it would have to pay even heavier losses. The northwest moved the Fengtian Arsenal away to have the current climate and become a major concern for the empire."
Although the co-sponsor Lai Wuping did not agree with Nishio Suzusao's statement, he could only agree with it. After all, the two had a huge difference in ranks. The Japanese army suffered a considerable loss in Xinkou and Taiyuan in several battles. There were more than 40,000 casualties in Xinkou, and more than 15,000 casualties in Taiyuan. Several brigade commanders of the poor performance took Xiosusao and scolded him. If it weren't for the greater losses in Hebei's Hebei, he would have lost his glory.
"How is the situation in the arsenal? How much equipment has Yan Xishan removed?" asked Nishio Shouzao.
"Most of the machinery at the arsenal were not moved. The Jinsui army under Yan Xishan had no time to dismantle less than 20%, and other equipment remained before they could be destroyed. The empire only needed to invest enough manpower to make this large-scale arsenal re-operate." Chang Lai Wuping also asked the technician, and his answer was straightforward.
Nishio Suzuo glanced at the factory a few times, but basically the equipment was not removed, so the people below did not lie or falsely report. However, when he heard the manpower from Nakara Wuping, Nishio Suzuo showed a helpless smile on his face. Human resources were the ones they lacked the most. Unfortunately, when Yan Xishan retreated, all the technicians and workers from the Taiyuan Arsenal had withdrawn. It was impossible for Japan to mobilize such a number of technicians from the local area to travel far to Taiyuan. After all, Japan also lacks military talents and cannot leave their hometowns. Besides, it is too dangerous to let those precious military talents come to Taiyuan. Besides, in this regard, they cannot compete with the Kanto Army.
"Strengthen the vigilance here and don't make any trouble." Nishio Shousao gave a warning after inspecting the factory area.
"Commander, now the Chinese army has been driven out of Taiyuan, and our established goal has been initially completed. With the few remaining defeated generals, will the Chinese army still want to fight back to Taiyuan City?" Chang Lai Wuping said in confusion that it is possible that some small counties and cities around that were captured by the Japanese army would be recaptured by the enemy's counterattack. However, in Chang Lai Wuping's eyes, Taiyuan, where the Japanese army stationed heavily, was already solid and could not be succeeded by the enemy.
"It won't be possible to fight back to Taiyuan, but the military headquarters has called and dismantled the valuable equipment here as quickly as possible to transport it back to the local area. Matsui Ishien, Prince Asaka has done a little too much this time. Look at the public telegrams of the entire Northwest Army." Nishio Shousao signaled the staff next to him to show a telegram to Nagato Wuping.
"What? This, Jiang Li really dares to boast. If you fight to the Imperial Palace, do you have this ability based on the Northwest Army?" Chang Lai Wuping said disdainfully.
"What makes people afraid of is not whether the Northwest Army has this ability, but that the Northwest Army has replaced the Chinese people's public opinion. The Empire is not afraid of a decisive battle with the Northwest Army. But if the Chinese people really continue to fight with the Empire, that is what the Empire is really worried about." Nishio Suzusaki said worriedly.
"Then destroy them. Now the empire has captured most of Hebei. As long as the Chinese army in Hebei, Henan and Shanxi have almost been completely calmed down. Then, we will advance westward and completely solve this biggest hidden danger." Chang Lai Wuping said frantically.
"Eliminate them? There is the 18th Army sent by the Northwest opposite us. They were ambushed a brigade at Pingxingguan before. At Xinkou, at least nearly 10,000 people were lost in the hands of the 18th Army. Not to mention the base camp in the northwest, you can destroy the 18th Army on the opposite side first." Nishio Suzuo looked at Naga Lai Wuping coldly, "From the last Shanghai War of Shanghai, to the Great Wall War, and to the several battles since last year, there are no less than dozens of senior generals fighting with the Northwest Army of China. There are few who can achieve great results. Do you think you are much better than those of Kazuki Kiyoshi, Tani Suo, and Yamashita Fengwen?"
"No, no, I definitely don't mean this." Chang Lai Wuping was shocked and sweated. If he said this, he would not want to stay in the military again in the future.
"Not the best." Nishio Shouzuo snorted and left with her sleeves.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you urge the despicable Chinese people to go to the factory to demolish the machinery as soon as possible. If you are passive, you will be pulled out and beheaded!" Not long after Xiwei left, Chang Lai Wuping shouted at the soldiers with anger.
