Chapter 655: A Great Victory
Of course, even if you don't use an armored brigade, it is not difficult to tear through the defense line of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army with the combat effectiveness of the special operations division, but the problem is that the Huitong Bridge is too important for both the rear of the southwest and the Baoshan base, and there can be no mistakes, so this special operations division really cannot be easily mobilized, at least not by a large army.
Coming out of the war room, a group of people entered the headquarters again, sat at the circular conference table, and Chu Zhongtian made a brief report on the current situation of the special operations division.
Since the Youxian Campaign, the remaining strength of the special operations division is 38,000 troops, and more than 4,000 people have been replenished this year, and the number of troops when it was first formed has basically been restored; it is not that it does not want to expand the army, but that the number of troops who can enter the special operations division is too small, and the overall quality of the troops cannot be lowered because of the number, and this is not in line with Jiang Haoran's policy of elite troops.
After more than a year of special training, the overall quality of the troops has been improved, and all the officers and men have gained the essence of attacking fortified positions, sabotage attacks, mountain warfare, and jungle warfare. In addition, 5,000 paratroopers have been trained, and these 5,000 paratroopers refer to those who have more than 10 parachute jumps and have excellent results, and more than 10,000 who have less than 10 parachute diving experiences.
The armored brigade itself drove to Baoshan with only two regiments, less than 5,000 men, and now it has expanded to 12,000 men, and most of them are veterans selected from Long Tian's troops. Rapid maneuvering, night combat, firepower strikes, infantry coordination, and so on have all been completed, and the results have been good.
In terms of weapons, the base now has two hundred and four Mustang fighters, not counting the ten that are driven today. There are a hundred wolf warrior bombers and transport planes, and the same is not counting the six that came today.
There are one hundred and twenty Cobra gunships, of which there are thirty transport aircraft.
There were eighty Tiger tanks.
In addition, the troops have all been reequipped, except for special forces such as snipers and flamethrowers, all others are equipped with AK47s, including armored brigades.
Jiang Haoran was quite satisfied with this result, and it can be said that whether it was the special operations division, the assembly workshop of the Baoshan base, or the arsenal of the 331 base, in the past year or so, the achievements have been remarkable and remarkable, and even greatly exceeded Jiang Haoran's expectations.
After learning about this, Jiang Haoran was concerned about the training of pilots and tank crews.
Chu Zhongtian told Jiang Haoran that there are now more than 500 pilots, 300 with excellent results, and even more tank soldiers, although the number of tanks is not large, but after all, there are not as many airplanes, and they can basically drive cars and tanks, so they have reached the number of 1,000 people.
Jiang Haoran nodded, praised Chu Zhongtian for doing a good job, basically leaving him speechless, and also praised him for his rapid progress in the past two years, whether it is military or management, he has reached the expected value in his mind, not bad!
Facing such a high praise from Jiang Haoran, Chu Zhongtian looked a little embarrassed, but Jiang Haoran looked at his watch and muttered: "It's almost eleven o'clock, this air battle has been fought for nearly two hours, it should be over, right?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a report from the guards came from the door, saying that they were back, and then they saw Ye Zhaofeng appear at the door with a spring breeze, followed by Du Tianci, Zhuang Yingying, and a group of pilots, all dressed in black leather flight suits, and they were very angry.
After the ceremony, Jiang Haoran said: "How about it, is there a total annihilation of the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army?" ”
Ye Zhaofeng and Du Tianci didn't have time to answer, Zhuang Yingying preemptively said: "Boss, we beat the devil's fifth flight team to lose their armor, and I alone will shoot down five enemy fighters, including two devil zeros." ”
"Presumptuous, what is your identity, do you have a part in speaking here?" Jiang Haoran scolded Zhuang Yingying with a majestic face, he knew that he couldn't save face for her at this time, in the army, no matter what kind of relationship you have, you still have to have a sense of hierarchy, especially Zhuang Yingying, who is not afraid of big trouble, connivance at this time, she will definitely dare to ride on the heads of Ye Zhaofeng and Du Tianci in the future, since she can't stop her from being a pilot, Jiang Haoran hopes that she can be a qualified pilot and a qualified soldier.
"Oh!" Zhuang Yingying's face suddenly turned red, her mouth curled, and she obediently stepped aside, although she was an elf and a ghost and even "did all kinds of evil", but in her bones she was actually quite afraid of Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran pointed at Du Tianci and said, "You say." ”
Du Tianci is the commander of this main attack, and Ye Zhaofeng only went to support after completing the escort, so only he has the right to speak.
Du Tianci stepped forward and said: "Report to the general seat, the Japanese army dispatched more than 220 fighters of various types, and was successfully lured by our flight team to the sky over the Hukang River Valley, our flight team immediately surrounded and stepped forward from all directions, and the Japanese army fought for nearly half an hour, our side has been occupying the battlefield dominance, as Captain Ye arrived with the escort, our side immediately overwhelmingly controlled the overall situation, which lasted an hour and four minutes, our side shot down about 160 Japanese planes, and the remnants of the Japanese army immediately fled to the southeast, and our side pursued on all fronts, In the airspace of 30 kilometers, encountered the Japanese carrier-based aircraft team was fighting with the Flying Tigers, as our side joined the battle, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese flying regiment was instantly disintegrated, the remnants fled in all directions, because the fuel ran out, our side gave up continuing the pursuit, in this battle, we lost 36 Mustang fighters, the escort team lost 23 fighters, the pilots parachuted many times, the casualties could not be counted for the time being, and the battle losses of the Flying Tigers were unknown. ”
"The Flying Tigers lost twenty-six fighters and shot down thirty-nine Japanese fighters!" As soon as Du Tianci's words fell, a voice shouted at the door.
Only then did the guards shout: "Colonel Chennault, captain of the Flying Tigers, has arrived." Because Du Tianci was reporting just now, the guards didn't dare to interrupt, so Chennault was blocked by them at the door.
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the door, Chennault walked into the house quickly, although Jiang Haoran was still wearing a combat uniform of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, Chennault had never seen Jiang Haoran, but he actually saw who was the main owner at a glance, walked in front of Jiang Haoran, stood up and saluted, and said: "Flying Tigers Chennault is here to report, please give instructions to the general seat!" ”
The American-style military salute, coupled with Chennault's American-Chinese dialect, was immediately greeted with laughter.
The Flying Tigers did not belong to the battle sequence of the expeditionary force, but Chennault's words clearly regarded himself as Jiang Haoran's subordinates, and Jiang Haoran did not break it, so he naturally returned the salute, stretched out his hand and held Chennault's right hand, shook it, and said: "Colonel Chen, thank you very much for everything you have done for the Chinese, the Chinese will always remember you American soldiers." ”
"No, no, no, you have to pay, and the price is quite high, we take what we need, and we can't talk about gratitude." Chennault made a gesture with his left hand and shrugged his shoulders.
New January, kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
