Chapter 1619: Airborne Success
The enemy fled, and the airborne troops were not in a hurry to pursue, but only expanded the search area nearby and cleared the remnants of the island army.
After an hour, the gunfire and explosions had almost stopped, and everything was calm again.
The ground was already full of holes, and in the smoke of gunpowder, bomb craters were everywhere, and the once green brocade-like grass and corn seedlings were almost nowhere to be seen, and the entire land was almost overturned by aerial bombs.
The soldiers of the United States began to wave the armament shovel, shoveled out pieces of flat ground with the craters, laid wooden stakes, and began to build improvised board houses.
There are still dozens of roads and a force of more than 10,000 people from the target place, and the logistical consumption is very amazing.
Moreover, this battle is bound to be a protracted battle, and who can guarantee that the weather will be beautiful and that the weather will be this kind of good weather the whole time? What if a sudden storm causes the plane to not be able to dispatch on time? So, they must also have a logistics base.
The open terrain and unobstructed views of the surroundings make it the best place to set up a temporary base because the enemy cannot escape from the air no matter which direction they approach.
Although the soldiers had all landed, the planes in the sky were still flying one after another, and under the guidance of the ground, one parachute after another floated down, and under the umbrella were all large wooden boxes.
These are just weapons and ammunition, food and medicine, and then there are tanks, artillery, tractors and other big guys.
Moreover, the five hundred helicopters they are equipped with are already on the way.
The nearest distance from the Indochina Peninsula to the Philippines is more than 1,000 nautical miles, and it is impossible to reach it by helicopter, but the Chinese Navy now has 20 aircraft carriers, all of which can be used as their offshore platforms, and refueling and maintenance are not a problem.
Moreover, at present, most of Mindoro Island has fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, and it can also be used for helicopter landing, from Mindoro Island across the Sibuyan Sea, it will take less than an hour to reach the current airborne landing field of the Mi Army, and the whole process will be escorted by fighter jets, which is safe and worry-free.
In short, the airborne division of the Mi Army is generous, and just a team of tens of thousands of people has been mobilized, and more than a dozen aircraft carriers and nearly 1,000 planes have been dispatched to escort it.
At the same time, this also reflects the current naval and air strength of the Chinese army, which is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past.
Luzon, Baguio, the joint command of the Zhennan Group Army of the Island Army.
The news of the successful airborne landing of the rice army had already reached the headquarters, and the sudden bad news made Yamashita Fengfumi, Hori Eizo, Ozawa Jizaburo and other high-level officials sit on pins and needles.
Hori Eizan thought that his sneak attack plan was enough to hide from the sky and annihilate the airborne division on the spot, but who knew that people did not play cards according to the routine at all, but instead led to the loss of troops.
The sneak attack failed, and under the huge aviation group of the Chinese army, the poor aviation on the island was all furnished, and there was no chance to save the scene.
Hori Eizo sighed and said, "For today's plan, we can only hope for Nishimura-kun and them, as long as the 1st Guards Division can block the Mi Army's Airborne Division, and the Locust Army in the Clark area can continue to stalemate with the 1st Army in the Clark area, we may be able to drag the war until the rainy season comes." ”
Yamashita Fengwen nodded slightly, and then said worriedly: "But we don't know if the army will use new weapons again, once they continue to bombard the east bank of the Cagayan River, I'm afraid the locust army will not last long at all?" ”
Yamashita Fengwen said that he was talking about "new weapons", not "nuclear weapons", which shows that they have clearly realized that Jiang Haoran is not using terrifying nuclear weapons.
In fact, after careful consideration, Jiang Haoran's strategy of concealing the sky and crossing the sea is actually somewhat untenable, at least it cannot withstand the careful scrutiny of the island's nuclear weapons experts.
First of all, after the nuclear bombing, radioactive materials will inevitably be left on the scene or on the bodies of the casualties, especially uranium with extremely strong radiation, but it is impossible to have such substances in the cloudburst bombs.
At the scene of the explosion at that time, the lethality was mainly lack of oxygen and strong shock waves, and almost no radiation source could be found, even in the later bombing, Jiang Haoran also dropped some aerial bombs that might be confused, but there was still a big difference between the death and the later contamination, and the experts of the island army only needed to dissect a corpse to fully understand.
At the same time, although nuclear weapons can also produce powerful shock waves, they will never be like cloud bursts and bombs, which can shock soldiers to death in tunnels more than ten or even tens of meters underground.
Therefore, the island army did not believe that Jiang Haoran had developed nuclear weapons at all, but they did use "nuclear weapons" to make a big fuss.
As it turned out, they had made the right move, and the Allies began to be wary of Chiang Haoran and cut off all kinds of aid to him, which undoubtedly weakened China's strength.
Although the airborne troops of the Mi Army were finally dispatched, and the joint operation of the allied forces was still ongoing, the island army won nearly ten precious days for this, which also won confidence for the Jiannan group to hold on to the Philippines.
Getting back to business, listening to Yamashita Fengfumi's words, Hori Eizan frowned, and after a little thought, said, "I don't think they will use new weapons again." ”
"Nani?" There was a hint of surprise in Yamashita Fengwen's puzzled expression.
"I believe that this new type of weapon has just been developed, and there are not too many of them, so after the first attack, even if we laid down their impenetrable defense line in the Cagayan River, the second round of attacks did not appear for a long time. Of course, this is just speculation, and I have stronger evidence. ”
"What is it?" Yamashita Fumimi shouted.
The corners of his mouth showed a smug smile, and said: "Jiang Haoran does not have nuclear weapons, but he does not give any explanation for our planting, but has a feeling that he will be wrong, and he shows that he has nuclear weapons in front of the world, although I don't understand what his motive for this move is, but if he wants to cover up this lie, he will definitely not be able to use this weapon again in the short term, and now people all over the world are staring at him, even if they don't want to have nuclear weapons, but they will want to know what the power of nuclear weapons is." Once he used it again, the scam was self-defeating, so, in order to cover up the secret, he categorically did not continue to use it. ”
"Yo Xi, Hori Rongjun's analysis is very reasonable, so that we are fully equipped to delay the war until the rainy season."
"Yes, this possibility is entirely there, and not only the Philippines, but also the Mariana Islands may be saved. The stoppage of the Miao-Australian offensive has helped us a lot, and I have heard that this group of orcs has scourged the local women of the occupied areas during the armistice, and they will soon pay the price for their bestial behavior, and the 'Golden Horse Project' will send them into the territory. ”
