Chapter 564: Not necessarily without a chance of winning
Because Jiang Haoran was not familiar with the New Fourth Army, Wang Shanhu sent Yu Xuemin to go with him to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In fact, the members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team hugged each other, who didn't know that it was Jiang Haoran who came?
As soon as the group left the city, they met the New Fourth Army team that had withdrawn from the riverside, and in the dim moonlight, Mr. Chen's majestic body walked at the front of the team, walking like flying.
When he saw the oncoming Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, Mr. Chen gradually slowed down, and his eyes were full of suspicion.
Seeing this, Yu Xuemin hurriedly greeted him, whispered in Mr. Chen's ear, and then turned to Jiang Haoran and introduced the two.
Mr. Chen stepped in front of Jiang Haoran in two steps, stood up and waved his hand to salute, but Jiang Haoran shot like electricity, and Mr. Chen's hand grabbed Jiang Haoran as soon as he waved it to his chest, and shook it, he couldn't stand the boss's salute.
After a short period of stunned, Mr. Chen also smiled heartily, the two complimented each other and knew each other, and asked Jiang Haoran to inspect the riverside, Mr. Chen immediately said that he was going together, the troops had withdrawn, and the Japanese army had already gone ashore, and he was familiar with the terrain in this area, and the retreat was smoother.
Jiang Haoran readily agreed, and the group continued to move forward, the New Fourth Army consciously moved out of the way, and looked at the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team and could no longer move their eyes, but the members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team did not squint, and walked with their heads held high and neat steps, and their fierce momentum stunned all the New Fourth Army present.
Jiang Haoran noticed that there were only a few soldiers of the New Fourth Army who were not injured, and immediately said apologetically to Mr. Chen: "This time I underestimated, which brought a threat to the New Fourth Army, and may even bring great casualties, I can only apologize here." ”
"Eh, what did you say? In the face of a just war, our New Fourth Army is unequivocal, and we are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, not to mention that this battle still has to be fought? We don't have a chance to win! ”
"Yes, Mr. Chen is right, although the enemy is menacing in this battle, we may not have no chance of winning." Jiang Haoran praised.
Mr. Chen continued: "It's just that we have too many wounded soldiers, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, shrapnel is flying wildly, and there are very few soldiers who are not injured, and the hospital left by the Japanese army was destroyed in today's bombing, and what we lack most now is medicine, although the temperature is not high now, but after two or three days, the wound will definitely be infected and pus, and the lightly injured soldiers will have to get off the line of fire and wait for death." ”
This is indeed a thorny problem, Jiang Haoran was also silent, since the pharmaceutical factory in the United States has been put into production in large quantities, there is no shortage of penicillin in the base, although it cannot reach a large supply, but it is no problem to ensure the supply of his own team, Jiang Haoran also blocked the news that the base has penicillin, so there is no outflow, but it can't be shipped in at this time?
Although it was completed in a hurry, the communication trenches, trenches, secret howls, and anti-artillery holes were all available, and it was impossible to see that the New Fourth Army had spent a lot of thought and effort in order to hold the river beach, and it was no wonder that the Japanese army was unable to break through the defense line of the New Fourth Army and fight positional warfare in a short period of time, and with the support of aircraft and artillery, Chen was clearly an expert.
Dozens of searchlights of the Japanese army illuminated the riverside as if it were daylight, and under the dazzling strong light, normal people could not see the situation on the river at all, but this was difficult for Jiang Haoran, who had super eyesight.
There were more than 100 large and small ships on the river, but except for a dozen gunboats and cruisers, most of them were transport ships and small warships, and the aircraft carrier that Jiang Haoran was worried about did not appear in the Yangtze River.
In fact, the lightest aircraft carrier of the Japanese army, the Longxiang, also has a displacement of more than 10,000 tons and nearly 40 aircraft. This guy's draft is 5.5 meters, and theoretically he can drive into the Yangtze River, but now it is late autumn, and it is already the dry season, and the aircraft carrier is at risk of running aground when it enters the Yangtze River.
Moreover, it is very difficult for aircraft carriers to play a role in the Yangtze River, and aircraft carriers cannot go in and fight wherever they can barely pass by in draft. In order for carrier-based aircraft to fully function, aircraft carriers need to drive at full speed against the wind according to the direction of the wind at that time, which is simply not possible in the narrow and curved Yangtze River. What's more, in the event of an aircraft attack, there is simply no room to maneuver to evade.
Now Jiang Haoran has just snatched more than 50 planes of the Japanese army, and if you add the number of planes owned by the Nationalist Government, he is fully capable of an air raid, and once it runs aground, it will be a dead end. So, the Japanese army will not be so stupid.
In fact, the Japanese aircraft carriers were supporting the army in the waters of the Daji Ocean north of the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang at this time.
In fact, if the Japanese fighter took off from the aircraft carrier in the East China Sea to Jiujiang, the distance was not more than 100 miles different from the aircraft carrier going deep into Nanjing along the Yangtze River and then taking off to Jiujiang, but it was the distance of 100 miles that made Jiang Haoran worry that the Japanese army would make a desperate move...... Because during World War II, the combat radius of aircraft carrier-based aircraft was usually hundreds of kilometers. If it takes off from Hangzhou Bay, the combat radius of the Type 96 carrier-based fighters on the Japanese aircraft carriers is about 500 kilometers, and the combat radius of the Type 97 attack aircraft is about 400 kilometers. Jiujiang, on the other hand, is nearly 600 kilometers away from the position where coastal aircraft carriers can reach. Therefore, the Japanese aircraft carriers in the East China Sea could not directly fly to Jiujiang to fight.
Since the Japanese Jiujiang airfield was robbed by Jiang Haoran, and the Wuhan airfield was bombed by Jiang Haoran, unless the Japanese aircraft carrier entered the Yangtze River, the only planes that the Japanese army could reach Jiujiang to bomb could only come from the Nanjing airfield.
Of course, if it is replaced by the latest type of Zero carrier-based fighter of the Japanese army, which has a combat radius of thousands of kilometers, it can fly from the coast to the sky over Jiujiang to carry out air strikes, but Jiang Haoran asked Yu Xuemin in detail that the planes that the Japanese bombed Jiujiang are all common Type 96 and Type 97, and no new fighters have been seen, and the number is not very large, less than 20.
After determining that there was no aircraft carrier on the Yangtze River, Jiang Haoran immediately laughed, and laughed loudly, so that the entire entourage did not touch their heads, but Jiang Haoran did not explain to everyone, and only ordered the Snow Wolf special combat team to block the enemy here, and never allow the Japanese army to land before receiving the order to retreat, and turned around and left.
Everyone is even more confused, just ordered the New Fourth Army to withdraw, don't defend it strictly, this will keep the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team here, what kind of planes are they doing?
Jiang Haoran didn't say anything, and the others naturally had no choice but to follow Jiang Haoran as fast as flying.
The group soon returned to the Chunfeng Restaurant, and Jiang Haoran walked directly to the tunnel. Because there are a large number of people entering, it is natural that they can't be hung up and down one by one like before, the wellhead has been dug up, and it is directly a very wide passage, Jiang Haoran led everyone into it.
