Looking at Su Jin, who was talking, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how come you are so clear about the plans of the Americans?" ”

Looking at his chief of staff, Su Jin, who had a particularly strong desire to learn, couldn't help but secretly slander to himself: "Can I not know, that's what the declassified historical materials of the United States in later generations say, and I have read the memoirs of those American pilots who participated in the bombing, can I not know?" ”

It's just that although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it, so Su Jin had no choice but to explain: "I have set up a few intelligence points in the United States, of course I will understand some information." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The speaker has no intention of listening, and the words that Su Jin originally said casually just to fulfill his lie stopped in Zhou Yusheng's ears, but it made him make waves in his heart. Although what Su Jin said was something that was well known to the world in later generations, in this era, all the things that Su Jin said casually were secrets of the US government, and it was impossible for the outside world to know them except for the high-level officials of the United States. Now that Su Jin said it so casually, these words stopped in Zhou Yusheng's ears and naturally made him think about it.

"Could it be that there are also the ears and eyes of Chief Su in the top echelons of the United States?"

Zhou Yusheng's heart immediately thought of the term senior spy, after all, the level of spy who can detect the secrets of the US president and the military must be very advanced. However, although Zhou Yusheng was curious, he didn't dare to ask, although Su Jin trusted him very much, and he was entrusted with the training, combat plan and future planning of the Third Army. But there are two places where Su Jin never lets him touch his hands. The first is the logistics supply system of the Third Group Army, and the second is the intelligence system, these two departments have always been controlled by Su Jin and never pretended to others, and the heads of these two departments are also directly responsible to Su Jin, and he has never had the right to ask the chief of staff, so these two departments are also particularly mysterious in the Third Army.

Thinking that Su Jin could even find out the secrets of the US military, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but feel a little more in awe of Su Jin. Others don't know, but he, the chief of staff, knows very well that the current Third Army is very large, with more than 300,000 troops under its jurisdiction. On the surface, the brigade commanders and division commander-level military commanders of these troops have great rights, whether it is the training and combat of the troops, these military commanders are personally responsible, it stands to reason that holding such a large power will easily make people's greed extremely inflated, after all, with thousands of elite troops, as long as they can win over a part of the middle-level officers, they can pull the troops out and be a happy grass king, but since Su Jin's debut, no one has ever had such an idea.

The reason is very simple, that is, the salaries, supplies and weapons of these troops are all controlled by Su Jin. It's easy for you to pull the troops out, but the Third Army has long been raised by Su Jin for so long, and no force in the whole of China has the ability to give the same treatment. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and the soldiers are accustomed to having endless ammunition, eating canned lunch and white rice in the United States, drinking coffee and tea after meals, smoking camel cigarettes in the United States, and getting used to getting a few oceans of military pay every month.

In fact, over the years, the Chongqing government has dug into the corners of the Third Army, and in private, it is not without the motivation of individual officers, but when the officers told each other about their treatment in the Third Army, they asked each other: What conditions can you give me after I pass? The visitor was immediately dumbfounded. If Nima's Lao Tzu can offer higher conditions than this and still need to win you over, wouldn't it be better to do it yourself? After such a thing happened a few times, no one came to woo the officers of the Third Army, the cost was too high to afford to hurt!

Therefore, with the logistics, intelligence and personnel rights in his hands, Su Jin managed the third group solidly, and his position has never wavered, because everyone understands a truth, as long as Su Jin is in them, they can always live the current good life, once Su Jin is gone, then they will be beaten back to their original form in an instant.

Su Jin is not an immortal, so he naturally didn't know Zhou Yusheng's mental activity at this time, and he thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Chi Yu, on the surface, the Americans' bombing operation in Tokyo seems to be just a landing through our ZJ, but once these US troops land in ZJ, it is likely that Ri Ying himself will transfer his anger towards the Americans to us, and he will be more vigilant and even hate us, and even launch a new round of offensive against us, which cannot be guarded against." ”

Facing Su Jin's worries, Zhou Yusheng just let out a disdainful chuckle: "Borrow the two of them, if we don't beat them, they should snicker!" ”

As chief of staff of the Third Group Army, Zhou Yusheng has sufficient self-confidence and confidence, and this self-confidence and confidence have been brought out by the officers and men of the Third Group Army in recent years.

In another time and space, a month after the U.S. Air Force led by Doolittle bombed Tokyo, the Japanese army carried out a brutal retaliation against China, they dispatched 50,000 people to launch a full-scale attack on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, occupied and completely destroyed the Quzhou airport that had been prepared to land for Doolittle, and brutally slaughtered and retaliated against the local people who had covered and rescued the American pilots. In the first battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, 250,000 soldiers and civilians in Quzhou were killed, and the Japanese army also carried out bacteriological warfare in Quzhou, resulting in plague and cholera rampant in Quzhou, with more than 300,000 infected people and more than 50,000 deaths. It can be said that the military and civilians of China paid an extremely heavy price for this successful air raid by Doolittle.

Thinking of what happened in another time and space, Su Jin was a little worried. Although the situation of ZJ in this time and space has long been different from what it used to be, and the strength of the Third Army is not comparable to that of another time and space, the Americans still make him very unhappy that they disregard the interests of the Chinese people so much. Although 50 years after the end of the war, US President George W. Bush spoke highly of the Chinese military and civilians' active rescue of American pilots at the 50 th anniversary ceremony, and vowed that he would never forget the Chinese people who contributed to the cause of freedom and justice. At the same time that Bush said this, the US government's move to suppress and blockade China was not slowed down by half a point because of this statement, and in order to suppress and blockade China, it did not hesitate to win over the countries around China, and did not hesitate to form the first and second island chains to blockade China at the expense of its former enemies.

"Sir...... Sir......"

Seeing that Su Jin didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Yusheng touched his arm with his elbow.

"Ah...... Oh...... What's up? ”

Su Jin, who was going to think about it, came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Yusheng.

Zhou Yusheng said helplessly: "Sir, since the Americans have already sent telegrams, you have to tell me how to reply to the Americans, right?" ”

Su Jin sighed lightly, although he was not very interested in the Americans' move, as Zhou Yusheng said, since the Americans had already sent a telegram, it showed that this matter was irreversible, and he couldn't drive those Yankees into the sea.

At this point, he said helplessly to Zhou Yusheng: "The wood is already in the boat, what else can we do?" You call back to the Yankees and tell them that as long as the American bombers enter ZJ's waters, we will do our best to ensure the safety of those American pilots. Also, let those Yankees come to Hangzhou to land, so that the journey will be shorter. ”

"Okay, I see!"

After receiving Su Jin's affirmative reply, Zhou Yusheng immediately went out to prepare, but our Chief Su was sitting behind the desk, his eyes were rolling, and his mind didn't know where he had flown again......

April 17, 1942

On the sea surface of the sea area of 180 degrees east longitude, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Japanese and Benhai, a fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers, three heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, and eight destroyers is sailing mightily on the sea, and the US aircraft carriers USS Enterprise and USS Hornet are being guarded by warships in the center of the fleet.

On the deck of the USS Hornet, which has a full load displacement of 25,000 tons, sixteen huge B-25 bombers are neatly arranged, and hundreds of ground crews wearing various vests are busy on the deck.

Lieutenant Commander Doolittle, who had a pipe in his mouth, stood on the bridge of the island on the right side of the deck, looking at the ground crew who were busy below, and said to Colonel Lester, the captain of the Hornet, "Colonel, now that we are close to the defensive circle of the Japanese Warrior, the Japanese Warrior's own ships may appear at any time, I think you should send fighter jets and dive bombers to cruise, and once you find the reconnaissance ships of the Sunny Warriors, you will immediately sink them, so as to ensure the concealment of the fleet to the greatest extent." ”

Lester shook his head, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we can't do this, you must know that the sea is so big, the chance of the Japanese ship finding us is not very large, but once we send a fighter to patrol and are discovered by the Japanese ship himself, it will be really exposed, and the probability of the two does not need to be thought about to know how big the difference is." ”

Doolittle frowned and said, "Mr. Colonel, I have already said just now, once we find Ri Ying's own ship, we can immediately let the bombers shoot them down and prevent them from having a chance to send back information." ”

"You're wrong, Lieutenant Colonel, it takes us at least ten minutes or more to sink a warship, but it only takes one minute to send a telegram, haven't you thought about the difference? Besides, I'm the captain of this aircraft carrier, and you should listen to me in this regard! Leicester was resolute in his attitude and would not let this man from the Army dictate to him.

In this way, the two quarreled on the deck over this issue, and the personnel on the side had long since avoided it. The Yankees also knew the reason why the city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond.

In the end, neither of the two could convince anyone, so Doolittle could only throw his sleeves away, and in a fit of rage, he found Vice Admiral Halsey, the commander of the fleet, and told Halsey his thoughts.

Halsey frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, Lester's idea is not wrong. From a probabilistic point of view, we can indeed detect the RB ships in advance by sending fighter planes and dive bombers on a cruise, but the problem is that they can also detect us at the same time that we find Hikami himself, and once Hikaru himself discovers our plane, then they will know that an American fleet is heading towards their territory, and then report the intelligence to Hibamoto's base camp, which we cannot afford. ”

Listening to Halsey's words, Doolittle shook his head in disappointment: "Mr. Vice Admiral, I have to say that your navy's thinking is too conservative, you must know that the true meaning of war is to take the initiative, if we just passively wait and pray that Ri Ying himself will not find out, we might as well hide at home and pray to God." ”

Doolittle's words were quickly fulfilled, and at 7:44 a.m. on April 18, the Hornet sounded a terrible siren, and Doolittle, who was still asleep, was awakened by the siren, and out of professional sensitivity, he immediately jumped out of bed and rushed towards the bridge, and when he reached the bridge, he found Halsey and Captain Lester looking into the distance with solemn expressions.

Doolittle asked aloud, "What happened?" ”

Halsey turned his head and said solemnly: "Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, our lookout has just spotted a Japanese boat about nine thousand meters ahead, and what is worse is that just two minutes ago, we intercepted the alarm telegram from this Japanese boat.

"What?"

Doolittle's face immediately became ugly, "Has this telegram been translated?" ”

"It's translated." Halsey's face was solemn like never before, "This is a warning telegram, and our location has been revealed!" Lieutenant Colonel, this also means that you have to take off early! ”

"What!" Doolittle looked at Halsey in surprise and shouted, "But now we are still 1,200 kilometers away from the RB, which means that we are going to fly 450 kilometers more than planned, do you know what that means?" ”

"Of course I do." Halsey said solemnly: "Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, if you don't want to participate in this operation, you can just like me now, and I will find someone to take over your job!" ”

"God, you're crazy!" Doolittle gritted his teeth and Halsey made it clear that the operation was going to be carried out no matter what. In the end, Doolittle gritted his teeth and agreed to the order to take off early.

At 8:18, Doolittle was the first to take off in the No. 1 plane. The aircraft carrier was jolting up and down in the turbulent waves, and everyone watched as Doolittle began to taxi against the strong wind, the aircraft carrier sailed against the wind at a speed of 30 knots, and the wind speed on the deck could be 50 knots, which helped the plane take off, Doolittle drove the engine to the end, and then pulled the nose of the plane, and the plane took off and flew in the direction of the sun......
