Chapter 175: The Aircraft Attack
From the original flying squadron, it has grown into an eagle strike flight unit with four aviation groups and an aviation academy, which can also be said to have been dormant for a long time. Even though all the major teams were actively asking for battle, Hu Biao kept telling them that they needed to be patient.
But this time, the Japanese army tried to attack the east and west, and took the opportunity of attacking Yunnan Province to attack the French colony, which really made Hu Biao extremely angry. After some thought, he finally decided to make the Eagle Strike Air Force appear to deter various forces, including the Japanese army.
Especially when Hu Biao learned that the British colonial army directly bypassed the expeditionary army and reached a private agreement with the Nationalist Government to let the expeditionary army deal with the invading Japanese army, Hu Biao also had a feeling of being calculated, and sighed whether he was too low-key and forbearing.
Since someone wants to fight his own idea, Hu Biao doesn't mind showing off his muscles and letting those who have a heart know how serious the consequences of calculating him are. The French colony, from the moment the Japanese army attacked it, Hu Biao was going to annex it all.
Even if the city defense troops with slightly weaker combat effectiveness are not used, the wolf army now has ten main divisions, nine recruit divisions, and other directly subordinate troops, with a total strength of as many as 500,000. With this strength, who dares to despise his existence?
When the air battle over Jinglong began, bomber groups led by the 1st and 3rd Flying Groups also began to fly to the harbor city where the Japanese troops were stationed one after another. Seeing the fighter planes flying overhead, the Japanese troops below were also completely panicked.
"Yaga! Enemy! Air raid! Quick, fast and hidden! ”
The Japanese army, which always felt that no one was their opponent in the southwestern colonies, did not deploy corresponding anti-aircraft weapons in the city. Waiting for the bombers to arrive at the port, they cooperated with the fighters and began to urge the destruction of the Japanese warships anchored in the port.
At the same time, the Japanese troops, who were exchanging fire with the mercenaries on the front line, also quickly felt the taste of being attacked by air. In the face of aerial bombs falling from the sky, the fortifications built by the Japanese army also collapsed quickly and visibly.
As soon as the plane left, the mercenaries in charge of the attack launched a fierce attack and began to pursue the defeated and fleeing Japanese troops. It's a pity that how did these Japanese troops, whose warships were blown up, escape from the colony? If you don't want to die, you can only surrender!
The commander of the Japanese front, who was still worried about the front-line combat troops, received a telegram asking for help from Haiphong City and the garrisons of several other ports, and he also had the illusion that the sky had fallen. Menia's air fleet, does it have so many fighters?
No one gave him an answer, and the Japanese commander in desperation could only turn to the Japanese troops located on Weizhou Island and Qiong Island to quickly send fighter planes for reinforcements. But for the Japanese army attacked at this moment, everything seemed to be too late.
Even the Xianluo Military Port, which was forced by it to join the alliance, was the target of the Eagle Strike Group's bombing. Looking at the countless fighters roaring down from the sky, the Japanese warships and Xianluo warships docked in the military port were all within the target of the bombing.
Hearing this news, Xianluo's naval commander also said sadly: "It's over! Our navy, it's completely finished! ”
Regardless of whether Xian Luo was sincere or not, they had already declared war on the Allies, and they were naturally on the opposite side of the Allies. And the enemy plane bombing their military port at this moment was none other than Menia's fighter. And Menia was undoubtedly on the side of the Allies.
After receiving an urgent telegram from Hu Biao, the joint formation, which had just returned from the air battle, hurriedly replenished fuel and ammunition and took off again. It began to fly to the southwest coast and launched a second round of air combat with the Japanese aircraft group that rushed to reinforce it.
The 1st and 3rd Flying Groups, which had completed the bombing mission, were also added to the air combat sequence. In the face of a large number of Meminian fighters that continued to fly, the Japanese fighters who were ordered to reinforce them also began to be unable to resist the frantic escape.
After receiving the telegram from the Eagle Strike Brigade, Hu Biao began to say ruthlessly: "Order the Fourth Brigade to attack with the whole team, focusing on bombing the Japanese headquarters and port in Dagon, and urging the destruction of the Japanese warships and airfields!"
The group of bombers ordered to return to the sea, after replenishing fuel and ammunition, began to bomb the Japanese army across the sea to Weizhou Island and Qiongdao airfield. Send another report to the Qiongdao Column, so that it is ready for a full-scale attack and hit the Japanese mines again! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
For such an order, the pilots of the entire Eagle Strike Group looked extremely excited. Even in the previous air battles, it was still inevitable that some people would be sacrificed. But the first all-team attack really made the Eagle Strike pilots feel their blood boiling.
Not long after, the Aviation Academy sent an order to join the air battle. After thinking about it, Hu Biao finally said: "Agree that the aviation cadets will take to the air to fight, only carry out bombing and cooperate with infantry operations, and are not allowed to participate in air combat!" ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Hu Biao, who sent out the entire Eagle Strike Brigade for the first time, really shocked the forces of all parties concerned about this war. Even if it seems to outsiders that it was the Meniah Air Force that carried out the bombing mission, it was not at all!
At least for Lao Jiang, who was sitting in the mountain city, when he saw the battle reports sent by the military commanders one after another, he said with a solemn expression: "How is this possible?" This kid still has an air force of this scale hidden under his hands, what does he want to do? ”
Facing Lao Jiang's inquiry, Dai Li, who was in charge of collecting intelligence, said with a wry smile: "Commission, we signed a cooperation agreement with England in private, but I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it from him at all." This time, he may have really! ”
"Niang Sipi! What does he want to do? Demonstrate to me? ”
"Take a seat! There are some things that students may not say. But I still want to say that General Flying Fox has established the foundation, and the entire French colony is under his control. In addition to owning such a large territory, he has at least 300,000 elites under his command.
If our relationship with him is completely stiffened, we are afraid that the southwest will be unstable. According to the information we have, General Long of Yunnan Province has newly expanded two main divisions, and their weapons and equipment are half bought and half given by General Feihu.
In addition, the Gui family has always maintained close cooperation with him, and several generals of the Guizhou army also have a close relationship with him. Once he pulls all three forces over, I am afraid that the Allies will also consider whether to continue to provide us with military aid.
In fact, in the several meetings I have met with him, he has always said that he will not meddle in the affairs of the southwest, nor will he do anything harmful to the country. But the premise is that we don't provoke him. This time, he's afraid he's really annoyed! ”
"Humph! Does he want to rebel? ”
Lao Jiang, who said this, suddenly seemed a little lacking in confidence. He knew in his heart that once what Dai Li said became a reality, then the national government he presided over would probably also fall into a situation of existential existence in name only.
Compared with Lao Jiang's anger and fear, Mr. Zhu, who was far away in the northwest of Shanxi, received a request telegram from the Qiongdao Column, and said very directly: "Call back to the Qiongdao Column, fully cooperate with Mr. Hu's plan, and strive to rescue more laborers!" ”
While asking people to draft a telegram and call back quickly, Mr. Zhu also sighed extremely and said: "I really didn't expect that this guy would hide so much strength without saying a word." Hundreds of fighters, this is estimated to be enough for a little devil to drink a pot! ”
Just when Mr. Zhu sighed, the chief of staff of Zuo, who was holding an urgent secret telegram, said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, it seems that someone has angered Mr. Hu." This time, Mr. Hu showed his strength, and it is estimated that he also has the intention of demonstrating! ”
"Oh! Demonstrate to the one in the mountain city? ”
"Boss's Clever Calculation!"
Mr. Zhu, who received the telegram, looked at it and said, "Send a telegram to Yan'an to inform you about the southwest colony." I would like to enclose my personal intention to strengthen cooperation and liaison with Mr. Hu.
Second, for the sake of the future, it is proposed that a number of key military and political cadres be transferred from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an to begin to strengthen guerrilla work behind enemy lines in various parts of the southeast. I'm sure that kid will give us the greatest support! ”
"Boss, are you worried about the future?"
"Although the kid suggested that we focus on the north, the south still needs to be strengthened. At present, the Qiongdao column is developing well, and it already has the scale of three main divisions under its command. In the future, the situation of the war will change, and it should not be a problem to recover Qiongdao.
As long as we can pull that kid to our side, it will also help us a lot to control the overall situation. Since he spared no effort to help us, I believe that he is also optimistic about us. The one in the mountain city, I'm afraid that this time I will lose my wife and lose my soldiers! ”
Regarding Hu Biao's secret trip to Yan'an and the content of the secret conversation with Taizu and others, Mr. Zhu naturally also knew about it. In fact, many of the expanded main divisions of the Eighth Route Army have begun to enter the northeast and develop armed forces behind enemy lines there.
But for Mr. Zhu and others, their greatest hope is to end the war as soon as possible and let the people truly enjoy peace. It's just that Mr. Zhu and the others know in their hearts that the one in Shancheng is afraid that he will not be willing to hand over power to the people!
This also means that after winning the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two sides must have a war, and only then can the victorious side have the right to decide the fate of the country. In order to avoid the war from going on for too long, Mr. Zhu felt that it was also very necessary to make some preparations as soon as possible.
Hu Biao naturally did not know about these, and while sending troops to pursue the 18th Division of the Japanese Army that had escaped and broken through, he had also been paying attention to the results of the air battle of the Eagle Strike Brigade. To his relief, the Eagle Strike Brigade finally lived up to expectations.
After half a day of continuous fierce fighting, almost all the fighters sent by the Japanese army to the southwest were shot down by the Eagle Strike Group, and several airfields and military ports were destroyed. After the news came out, all forces were in an uproar, feeling that it was too unexpected for them.
What is really not surprising may be the Menia side, which has worked closely with Hu Biao. To the delight of the Menia side, Hu Biao did not have the slightest chance to show his merit in this air battle, and completely handed it over to the Menia Air Team.
The Menia Air Force, which had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Japanese army in the previous round, washed away its previous shame with a great victory that almost completely annihilated the Japanese fighters. After the news came out, Menia was also greatly boosted, and the Japanese army was even more shocked.
President Menia, who learned of this, even bluntly said to his aides: "Let the military strengthen cooperation with General Hu, we need such sincere partners in Asia." If he wants, I want to give him a presidential medal! ”
The Menian army, which knew it at this moment, urgently needed such news of victory to encourage. Hu Biao's willingness to give up such an honor is undoubtedly an extremely precious booster for the president who declared war on Fuso and the Meinia military!
