Chapter Twenty-Six: The Eagle Strikes the First Cry
As the White Bear Commando was the first to leave, the Sea Eagle Commando, who decided to find a place to hide for a while, also drove the three large ships captured away from the dock of Weizhou Island, followed by three freighters, and had to turn back later.
Seeing the troops and ships departing one after another, Hu Biao found the task force and asked them to set some trigger traps on the island. When the little devil then lands on the island again, I believe that these traps can also cause some losses to the little devil.
The most surprising thing for the task force was that Hu Biao prepared a large number of mines. In Hu Biao's view, in the future, the southwest will conduct defensive operations, and mines are also extremely effective defensive weapons, which will make the Japanese army change their color.
Although the people who left on the freighter were still worried, they all knew very well that if they continued to stay on the island, they would not be able to survive when the little devil came to the island again. If you don't hurry up now, you may not be able to leave after dawn.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, who stayed on the island, looked at the empty island that had been empty, and said with a little sentimentality: "This island is in a good location, if you can establish a base here, whether you go to Haikang City, Qinzhou or even Qiongdao, it will be much more convenient!" ”
"There's no way, we don't have a navy or an air force, and it's hard to hold this island with the army alone!"
has been by Hu Biao's side for a long time, and the combat level of Qin Tianyou's subordinates has also improved a lot compared to before. They all know that at this stage, compared with the Japanese army, the only thing they really have an advantage over the Japanese army is the army.
This advantage is still based on the fact that there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. If you really want to run into the main division of the Japanese army, even if you can make a profit in the end, you are afraid that your own casualties will not be small. This gap cannot be changed in a short period of time!
Facing Qin Tianyou's comfort, Hu Biao said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just sigh, it's good to let the little devils do more construction on the island." When they are beaten away in the future, they will not be able to take those buildings with them, and they will have to leave them to us in the end.
In the later stage, we should also pay more attention here. Now that the people are letting us move out, the little devils want to rebuild the airport, and they need to send more labor from other places. If there are prisoners of war, it will be okay for us to make another trip! ”
There was a chance to successfully infiltrate, and Hu Biao believes that he will find an opportunity in the future. Although the Japanese army was unable to concentrate its energy on the southwest side for a short time, the southwest side will also become a key area for the Japanese army to attack in the future.
At that time, the forces fighting against the Japanese army were not only limited to the Nationalist Government, but also involved more indigenous forces and colonial forces. The crazier the little devil is, the more enemies he will make, and the more Hu Biao will find an opportunity to touch the water.
Just as Hu Biao was chatting with Qin Tianyou, a combat platoon commander stepped forward and said, "Wolf head, everything has been handled!" ”
"Okay! Wait a minute, let's go over and burn incense! I hope that in the future, there will be people who will come to pay their respects! ”
After going to the island, he learned that the little devils had slaughtered many people on the island, and Hu Biao also ordered the executed little devils to chop up their heads and pile up Jingguan. Placing the place where the corpses of the people are buried is regarded as revenge for these people who died in vain.
Hu Biao had done something like this on other battlefields earlier. For this kind of Japanese army that slaughtered unarmed people, Hu Biao will also show more iron-blooded methods. Only in this way can the Japanese army know the fate of indiscriminate killing.
As for the corpses, several barrels of aviation gasoline have been prepared and poured on them when they leave. In a word, these executed little devils, Hu Biao can't let their ashes go back to the country, let alone the so-called heroic souls who have been chopped off!
When the freighter returned again, Lei Xiong, who came with the ship, also said directly: "Wolf head, why don't you go back first?" I'll just look at it here! No one knows if the little devil will suddenly appear after dawn! ”
"It's okay! Arrange for the Sea Eagle commandos to drive away the patrol ships that have been picked. Have you found a guide? ”
"You've found it! That place, they all know! ”
"Okay! Then let them go! Remember, don't hang the flag of the little devils, all the flags of the French army instead. Before dawn, it is best to rush to the mouth of the sea. When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to pick them up! ”
"Understood!"
Considering the limited manpower, Hu Biao transferred all the crews in charge of the other two freighters. The two freighters are temporarily docked near Haikang City. When the manpower is freed, the freighter will depart again.
Regarding Lin Haoyuan's previous proposal, Hu Biao did not refuse. The general Sa who was born in the navy he recommended, Hu Biao also heard of it, and called the founder of the navy of the Republic of China. If you can get its help, you can really save a lot of trouble.
Just to avoid that there are too many people in the Navy of the Republic of China in the future Seahawk Commando, Hu Biao has already begun to arrange for the Aihua Trading Company to recruit some Chinese crews in Nanyang and other places to fill the fleet of the Seahawk Commando.
In Hu Biao's view, with the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, some overseas Chinese who settled in Nanyang in the early years also began to support the motherland's anti-Japanese war in various ways. Among this group of overseas Chinese, there are a large number of skilled workers.
At least one thing Hu Biao knew very well that the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which was known as the lifeline of the Anti-Japanese War by later generations, had the hard work of a large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese workers. Most of these overseas Chinese workers are overseas Chinese, and they also have a passion for serving the country, so it shouldn't be a bad thing to recruit them.
With the departure of Lin Haoyuan and others, Hu Biao will need more and more crew members and young people who understand the navy in the future. These people can first join the freighter fleet, and after some assessment and examination, they can be added to the commando.
If the three captured ships can be saved, Hu Biao will also save a lot of trouble. With the maritime formation composed of these three large ships, we will strive for more discourse in maritime trade. In cooperation with the Eagle Strike Squad, it should be able to exert greater naval and air strike capabilities.
When there was not much time left before dawn, Hu Biao began to order people to prepare breakfast in advance. Pilots who have finished their busy schedules also need to have a good meal before preparing for the next flight.
Looking at Wu Haotian, the captain of the Eagle Strike Team, Hu Biao also said seriously: "Golden Eagle, how is the plane familiar?" ”
"Wolf head, basically no problem! Although the performance of the aircraft has not been fully mastered for the time being, take-off and landing should not be a problem! ”
"That's good! For the time being, don't be in a hurry to fight with the little devil's flight formation, I sent you to Luzon to study, and I also hope that you will learn more flight knowledge and prepare for the subsequent formation of aviation schools and flight formations.
To put it simply, you are all flight seeds that I have carefully selected, and I hope that through you, more pilots will be trained. As for the fighters, we can get them by capturing or buying them in the early stage.
Later, when we have the strength, maybe we will also produce our own fighters. The Air Force will play an increasingly important role in future combat sequences. The importance of air supremacy, in my opinion, is more important than sea supremacy! ”
Listening to Hu Biao's words, Wu Haotian also knew that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. But isn't that what he wants to see? If the squad can really become a squadron or brigade, they will have the opportunity to engage the Japanese fighters.
Having tasted the taste of being bombed by Japanese fighters, they naturally wanted to shoot down a few Japanese fighters, or control the fighters and throw some bombs on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, so that the little devils could also taste what it was like to be bombed and strafed by people in the air!
Considering that on the way to Shillong, it was very likely that it would be intercepted by Japanese fighters. In addition to replenishing fuel for the fighters, Hu Biao also replenished the corresponding weapons and ammunition for the fighters. Even if you do so, it will increase the difficulty of flying.
But Hu Biao still didn't want to see that he really encountered Japanese fighters, even ordinary reconnaissance planes, but his own fighters had no power to fight back. Even though the actual combat capability of the Eagle Strike squad is limited, it is believed that those foreign pilots have more experience.
In addition to the single-piloted fighters, those fighters that can take on two people, Hu Biao arranged for a special team member to take off at random. In the future, Hu Biao also plans to arrange corresponding flight pilot training for the task force.
In this case, even if the task force does not know how to fight in the air, they can drive the captured fighter back to their rear airfield as soon as possible. When the purchased large transport plane is delivered, Hu Biao will also train the task force to parachute.
Looking at the horizon that was about to be brightened, Hu Biao, who felt that the visibility in the air was not low, immediately ordered the flight team that was ready to take off. The person in charge of piloting is a senior foreign military flight instructor.
When the pilot plane successfully lifted off, the fighter pilots who were waiting in line for the subsequent liftoff also seemed to have a lot more confidence. Watching one fighter plane after another take off into the air, Qin Tianyou, Lei Xiong and the others also felt very happy in their hearts.
Especially Qin Tianyou smiled and said: "Wolf head, these fighters won't be given away again, right?" ”
A number of fighters were captured in northern Anhui before, but in the end, most of them were left behind by Bai Chongxi. Now that the fighters have been captured again, Qin Tianyou naturally hopes that these fighters can stay in Xilong and defend the airspace near Xilong.
Facing Qin Tianyou's jokes, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Naturally, this won't!" Our airports have been repaired, planes have a place to park, and pilots have them, so naturally we need to form our own flight team.
It's just that these captured fighters can only be used as trainer planes for the time being, striving to train more pilots. In fact, these fighters currently equipped by the Japanese army will be replaced in a short time, and the little devils will be equipped with fighters with better performance.
Counting on the Eagle Strike team to defend the airspace, I'm afraid it will take a while. Wait for the advanced fighters purchased in the later stage to be in place, and then give the Eagle Strike team a period of time. Maybe if we encounter a small flying formation of little devils, we can still compete! ”
In Hu Biao's view, in the future, the main fighters of the Japanese army will be replaced by the Zero. If you want to regain air supremacy from the Japanese army, you will be able to do it with your own ability. It's okay to sneak up on the Japanese army once in a while.
As long as the airport built in Shillong was not discovered by the Japanese army, when the Japanese army invaded the southwest, an airfield was established in the British and French colonies. Find the right time, maybe you can catch the little devil off guard. If you want to achieve all-weather air defense, you really can't do it for the time being.
In fact, in addition to buying fighters, Hu Biao also plans to find a way to buy a batch of air defense radars. In that case, with the fighters equipped in the later stage, the Japanese army may suffer some losses, and they will not dare to fly to Shillong easily to spread wild!
