After launching several Super Fires at the Japanese devils, paralyzing an airport for a period and destroying dozens of warplanes, using his ultimate weapon, Ren Zhong felt the effect was still unsatisfactory. It simply didn't deliver the crucial, decisive blow.
In Ren Zhong's eyes, the Dongfeng-1A was riddled with problems and shortcomings. Compared to the Dongfeng-21A in the main world, which could sink aircraft carriers, it was on a completely different level.
So, upon receiving the battle report, Ren Zhong remained calm and wasn't overly excited. The effect was no better than launching it at a Japanese city.
However, elsewhere, the Dongfeng Express's debut triggered a storm.
"Attack! Attack at all costs! Throw in our reserves! Order the Kwantung Army to send more elite divisions into Jin Province!
We must now resolutely and fearlessly advance quickly to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, find and acquire this mysterious weapon, including the manufacturing technology. This long-range weapon is crucial for improving the Imperial Army's current unfavorable strategic situation, and is of vital importance to our army."
Miyazaki Shuichi, of the Japanese Sixth Area Army, slammed the table and exclaimed excitedly during the Area Army meeting.
Ren Zhong's attack on the Yanjing Airport, although the Japanese devils didn't know the details, specific tactical indicators, or even what the mysterious weapon was, still left its mark.
After suffering such heavy losses, the Japanese still tried their best to investigate. They collected some eyewitness accounts, and the Japanese intelligence agencies and high-ranking officials pieced together a terrifying truth from the witnesses' fragmented words.
This weapon of the Eighth Route Army is extremely similar to the early rocket attacks of the Eighth Route Army, except that the new rocket is more powerful and has a longer range. To date, the Japanese devils don't know where these attacks were launched from.
But without a doubt, the farthest witness reported that the distance from the airport was at least 100 kilometers!
Thinking about it, this weapon of the Eighth Route Army is too terrifying.
100 kilometers is an area that the Japanese devils simply cannot control. No matter where it is, the Japanese devils cannot control such a vast area!
Therefore, among the high-ranking Japanese devils, they immediately listed the Dongfeng Express as one of the mysterious weapons they must prioritize understanding.
Not only that, but the high-ranking Japanese devils, led by Miyazaki Shuichi, even saw another opportunity and began to fanatically want to attack the Eighth Route Army's headquarters and arsenal through combat, and then obtain this mysterious and difficult-to-defend weapon.
This technology is too powerful. For the current Japanese military industry department, there is no possibility of realizing it at all. Therefore, Miyazaki Shuichi insisted that attacking the Eighth Route Army's arsenal at all costs is necessary to obtain this technology.
For the high-ranking Japanese devils, they have now felt the fate of the setting sun. Compared with ordinary people, these high-ranking Japanese devils are even more unwilling to let go of anything that can prolong the life of the Japanese devils' future.
No matter what it is, they don't want to miss any technology that can prolong the life of the setting sun of the Japanese devils.
"Your Excellency Miyazaki, our army has tried its best, but now the local Eighth Route Army in the front line is not only as numerous as cattle hair, but also has sophisticated weapons. They have a large number of mortars and a large number of automatic rifles. In contrast, the strength of our army's infantry is already difficult to contend with in equal numbers. Now, every step forward requires the sacrifice of dozens or even hundreds of people.
Now, no matter how much we increase our troops, we cannot expand the combat contact surface. In the mountainous area, we cannot win quickly," a senior operations staff officer of the Area Army retorted.
According to his proposition, fighting the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area is a very failed tactic.
Now, the best strategy is to try to lure the Eighth Route Army out of the mountainous area and engage in a decisive battle on the North China Plain.
Now, a large number of Imperial Army troops are entering the mountains of Jin Province to fight the Eighth Route Army, facing attacks every day. For the Imperial Army, it's simply terrible.
Those local Eighth Route Army troops are in the mountains, but even if they can be seen, they can't be reached. Sending out teams to pursue them is almost futile.
After entering the mountainous area, the entire marching team is almost always in a state of being passively beaten. Those local Eighth Route Army troops have no intention of fighting a positional war with the Imperial Army. They are like wasps, staring at the Imperial Army's marching columns, firing one or two shots and running away!
Endless harassment!
"So what? We cannot lose such a strategic point," Miyazaki Shuichi said coldly to the senior staff officer, "Aoki-kun, we need high morale, and ensure that we have the confidence to win. The headquarters cannot lose its sharpness faster than the front-line troops."
"Miyazaki-kun is right. Jin Province is a crucial stronghold for the Imperial Army to operate in North China, and it must not be lost. No matter what the cost, this time we must eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province. We are all responsible for the fact that the local Eighth Route Army has developed to be so strong today in the past two years," Okamura, the Japanese devil, stood up and finalized the matter.
"The focus of our discussion now is how to solve the local Eighth Route Army in Jin Province, not other things. The mysterious weapon mentioned by Miyazaki-kun should indeed be listed as one of our new goals. If we possess this weapon, it may have unexpected help in reversing our unfavorable situation in the Pacific War."
"Our Zero fighter squadron is now almost completely destroyed. Next, we must mobilize new fighter formations to enter North China in order to form an effective counterattack trend against the Eighth Route Army's Mustang fighters in the sky over Jin Province. Order from now on, the newly arrived Zero fighter formations will have at most one combat detachment in an airport, and can no longer be concentrated."
Okamura, the Japanese devil, finally learned a lesson after suffering a great loss.
"Your Excellency Okamura, does this matter need to be reported to the headquarters?" A staff officer asked boldly.
"No need to do so. Just report that our warplanes encountered an attack by the local Eighth Route Army and suffered losses. As for this mysterious weapon, report to the headquarters after we have thoroughly understood it, or even obtained it," Okamura, the Japanese devil, said decisively.
Reporting now, when the situation is not clear, and only reporting major losses, would completely lose face for him, the commander of the Area Army, and even lose the trust of the headquarters.
For Okamura, reporting at this moment would be completely not worth the loss.
In the accompanying capital.
Guo Fu was very unhappy and smashed a lot of things around him.
Even though this Dongfeng Express operation was kept secret in the border area and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and only a few high-ranking officials knew about this highly experimental long-range battle, after all, this was one of the very few trump cards in the border area. Properly preserving it would be more conducive to future development, so the border area tried every means to hide its ultimate weapon.
However, the Japanese devils suffered such a big loss. Even if the Japanese devils tried their best to hide it, this matter could not be without a trace within the Japanese devils and Yanjing. How could such a major matter not enter the vision of Guo Fu intelligence personnel?
Therefore, Guo Fu's underground intelligence personnel excitedly reported the Japanese devils' huge loss as a major news of victory against the Japanese devils, thinking that they would receive an award. After all, Guo Fu now needs a victory to encourage the people and dilute the impact left by the Henan campaign.

However, after this matter was reported, Guo Fu's old man asked around and found that this matter had nothing to do with them at all.
They didn't even know that such a big thing had happened in the rear of the Japanese devils. Guo Fu's old man knew that this was another thing done by the Eighth Route Army, and suddenly felt even more depressed.
His own First War Zone was a complete defeat, and it seemed that they could not stand in the Henan area.
But looking at the Eighth Route Army, facing the two-way attack of the Japanese devils, they fought vigorously, and now they even had the spare power to launch a very beautiful counterattack in the hinterland of the Japanese devils!
Wiping out dozens of Japanese warplanes in one fell swoop!
Why couldn't such a monstrous victory be achieved by his subordinates?
When did the Eighth Route Army become so powerful?
Guo Fu's old man saw further and felt that if this continued, the country would be in danger.
Guo Fu's old man still had some strategic vision. Seeing the current battle situation on the North China battlefield, if the true Eighth Route Army withstands this wave of attacks from the Japanese devils, then they will basically gain a firm foothold in Jin Province. This is a more difficult master to deal with than Yan Xishan.
But now he can only watch helplessly, and is simply powerless to deal with the collapse of the First War Zone.
Originally, he felt that it was not safe for Commander Wei to step on two boats, so he simply sent him to engage in the expeditionary force and get rid of the coverage of the local Eighth Route Army.
Who knew that the ones who replaced him were simply a bunch of rice buckets, losing every battle and losing every place, completely unable to resist.
Making the situation in Henan plummet, and it seems that it will be completely lost!
But to let Guo Fu's boss open his mouth to ask the Eighth Route Army for rescue, Guo Fu's boss, who is still plotting against the Eighth Route Army, really can't afford to lose this face.
Hearing that the Eighth Route Army also had a mysterious weapon to attack the Japanese devils' airport, Guo Fu's boss felt even worse.
It turned out that all he received was bad news.
