Chapter 139: The Devil's Conspiracy
Sometimes, if you are kind enough to persuade someone and tell him what is likely to happen in the future, he may not care at all. But when that event really comes, and he really feels scared and afraid, he will be truly grateful.
Let Nuvich give advice to the colonial government, which was naturally Hu Biao's idea. However, he also believed that the colonial government would not easily agree to allow the Nationalist government to send troops into the country to fight. In their minds, things weren't that bad.
Another reason is that the heart of the villain is the belly of a gentleman, and these colonial governments themselves are weak-minded, knowing what the national government really wants at this time, it is estimated that it will be more difficult for them at that time, and they will not be popular in the colonies.
Regarding these political considerations, Hu Biao, who has been able to see many issues clearly in this era, can also see it more clearly than many people. He believed that when the mountains and rivers were really exhausted, these colonial governments would attack the idea of mountain cities again.
For the man in the mountain city, he needs the recognition of these colonists, and feels that with so much government support, it will be easier to stabilize his position. As for sending troops to fight, it was only a matter of order.
As Hu Biao expected, the Japanese troops who once again sent an aircraft carrier formation to cruise near Qiongdao were also followed by a large number of troop carriers. Even the tank and armored units that were not used in the previous time, the Japanese army has prepared a lot this time.
Two elite divisions of the Kwantung Army, transferred from the northeast, soon appeared in the Haicheng Port area, where the Japanese army had established a solid defensive line. Regarding the landing of the Japanese army and the whole team, Hu Biao still did not take any action, and quietly waited for the Japanese attack.
In the neighboring British colonies, the colonial troops in charge of defense seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the news. In the eyes of these colonial troops, the direction of the Japanese army's next key offensive should still be the French colonies.
Hearing the news, Hu Biao said with a smile: "It seems that the little devil really thinks that we are soft persimmons, and I am afraid that I will not give up if I don't pinch it." Tell the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to let go of the fight this time and clean up these Kwantung Army that came from afar. ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
"Then send a telegram to the Menia Air Force in Spring City, informing them that the fighter on board the Japanese aircraft carrier is the latest Zero fighter in service. If they want to test the Zero's performance, they can find a way to raid it. ”
"Wolf head, you want to pit these foreign devils?"
"How can it be said to be a pit? We are providing the corresponding information, as for whether to fight or not, they decide for themselves. In addition, tell the air force that the combat area is best placed near our defense zone, and if a pilot parachutes, we can also carry out rescue.
If we shoot down a few Japanese Zeros, we may be able to pick up a few relatively intact wreckage. When the time comes, we will hand over the wreckage as well. If the area of engagement is not under our control, there is nothing we can do! ”
What is the performance of the Zero fighter, Hu Biao knows better than anyone. If you don't let the Menia Air team fall behind, how will they know that it is powerful? If they don't suffer a loss, how could they remember that Hu Biao has the fighter design drawings they urgently need in his hands?
After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, the commander of the Menia Air Force in Chuncheng also had a headache: "The Japanese aircraft carriers carry a lot of fighters, and there are ground airfields built on the surrounding islands, so we don't have much chance of winning!" ”
"What if General Hu's side can cooperate? As long as you find the right time, ambush the Japanese combat aircraft group once, and then retreat in time when the Japanese reinforcement fighters arrive, the risk should not be large, and the above urgently needs to understand the performance of the new Japanese fighters! ”
After some consideration and consultation, the Menian generals stationed in Luzon finally decided to let the air force attack once. As Hu Biao said, if the area of engagement is in the southwest, they still have a chance to parachute to survive.
If it were a confrontation at sea, it would be difficult to survive even if it was parachuted. Some generals who had already felt the threat of war were also eager to know how well the new Japanese fighters were performing. If they are really that good, they must also prepare early.
It takes time to design and develop a new fighter for purpose, and it takes time to train experienced air combat pilots. If you can prepare in advance, when the war really breaks out, Menia will have more chances of victory.
After receiving a call back from the air team, Hu Biao immediately smiled and said, "Look, I said that they will definitely attack!" Send a telegram to the Second Brigade and ask its fighter squadron to be ready to take off into the air at any time and strive to perform this scene well. ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
The Second Eagle Strike Brigade stationed in Triangle Prefecture received an order from Hu Biao to prepare for war, and many pilots were extremely looking forward to the moment when the combat order arrived. After the aircraft was refitted, many pilots felt that they were much more proficient in formation operations.
Whether it can be used in actual combat still needs to be tested in actual combat. It's just that all the pilots who participated in the war knew that once they took to the air to fight, they could be sacrificed at any time. Not everyone has the chance to be lucky enough to skydive.
As the captain of the second team, Wu Qiming was also one of the first pilots to join the Eagle Strike team. During the previous air ambush in Longzhou, he also shot down two enemy planes, and was later promoted to the captain of the second brigade.
Looking at the pilots who were summoned, Wu Qiming also said seriously: "Although I don't know, when the battle order will be issued." But I must tell you in advance that actual flight training is very different from actual combat, and there is a possibility of sacrifice at any time.
During this time, some of you shot down the reconnaissance plane of the little devils, and some of you shot down the Japanese fighters. But I must remind you once again that the planes used by the Japanese army in combat this time are more advanced than the fighters we fly.
In terms of aircraft performance, we are inferior to the Japanese army. In terms of aerial combat experience and actual flight time, we are not as good as the Japanese army. But there was one thing that we were able to outdo the Japanese, and that was the formation that the wolf head instructed us to train instructed.
Whether or not you can shoot down an enemy plane and get back to base depends on whether your teams can work closely together during the operation. From now on, all the combatants will prepare for the battle in pairs, and strive to pay attention to what situations should be paid attention to when running in and discussing the battle.
In this battle, I have also obtained the authorization of the wolf head, so I can attack with you. But I must tell you in all seriousness that even I dare not say that I will definitely be able to return. But I hope that the vast majority of you will return.
If you can't do anything, be sure to skydive as soon as possible and wait for rescue. There is no shame in skydiving, if you feel ashamed, practice hard after returning to the team. The wolf head let me remind you again, that is, if the fighter plane is destroyed, then buy, the most important thing is that people survive! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
With the previous reprimand and warning, these veteran pilots who participated in the air battle in Longzhou City knew that Hu Biao was really not joking, but really hoped that they would do so. If you are shot down in an air battle but survive, you will learn a lesson the next time you take off.
Such a pilot still has the opportunity to avenge himself and regain his lost face. If you have the idea of co-living and dying with the fighters, not only will the fighters not be able to keep them, but the hard work that Hu Biao has spent on them will be completely wasted.
Drawing on the experience of the previous three failed attacks, the Japanese divisions that had made a comeback this time did not rush to attack. Instead, let the two divisions rest first, familiarize themselves with the jungle environment on the southwest side, and learn more about the opponent.
To the surprise of the two division commanders, when they saw the opponent's information, they were very surprised and said: "Is there only this information?" ”
"Yes, General! For more information about this unit, the special high school has not been able to make a breakthrough so far. Except for the first line of Haiphong City, the rest of the inland areas are difficult for our intelligence agents to penetrate, and the information they know is extremely limited. ”
"Na! Are these people so well guarded? ”
"Yes! The force responsible for defending against our offensive has deliberately demarcated an area of engagement. As soon as we enter this area of engagement, we will be attacked by their madness. On the periphery, they are indifferent.
In order to find out the situation of these enemies' defenses, the special high school also sent a number of intelligence officers, but after entering, they never returned. Later, I tried to find a way and trained a group of locals, but I still couldn't find valuable information.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the combat unit responsible for defending this area has a lot of combat experience. Even a large part of them came down from the battlefield, they should all be professional soldiers, very vigilant and difficult to deal with! ”
"Yaga! With this information, how do we attack? ”
"According to the instructions of the Minister of Tojo, if we encounter resolute resistance on this side, we can first cooperate with the navy to clear the colonial forces along the coast. Then attack from here and here, cutting off the Indochinese defenders from the colonial army. ”
One of the Japanese generals did not feel anything wrong with the dissatisfaction of the two division commanders. In fact, this time, the Japanese army transferred two Kwantung Army divisions to fight in the south, more to purge the colonial army on the southwest coast.
Even if these two divisions are only the vanguard troops, the Japanese army will mobilize more troops from Qiongdao and Fujian Province in the future. The premise was that the two Kwantung Army divisions had to open a gap for the continuous entry of subsequent reinforcements.
Looking at the general who was in charge of formulating the battle plan, the two division commanders frowned and said, "In that case, why don't you just attack?" Come here, what do you waste so much time for? ”
"Create a false impression! Let the colonial armies of these two places slack! The more aggressive the offensive posture created here, the more relaxed the colonial forces in the remaining two attack points will be. Get the timing right and we'll be able to break through their defenses with ease!
Most importantly, we can't give them too much time to prepare for the evacuation, and the supplies stored in these two places are also extremely important to the Empire. Therefore, in addition to winning this battle, it is also necessary to capture as many war materials as possible! ”
"Hey!"
The commanders of these divisions were undoubtedly aware of the embargo imposed on Fuso by Menia. Although Fuso has a relatively complete material reserve system, these energy reserves can last for half a year at most.
This also means that if new energy supplies cannot be found within half a year, then the Japanese army will fall into a situation of energy shortage. In this case, the Japanese army, which was ordered to invade the colonies in Southeast Asia, also needed to capture as many energy supplies as possible!
