Chapter 162: Air Raid! Air raid! (a)
Although air raid is a new term, if it is only taken literally, the officers of Chen Yifan's flying brigade can also understand the meaning.
Wang Mo pointed to the specific targets on the sand table and said: "There are three targets for this air attack, first, the artillery of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army in Moxian County, I have arranged for special service personnel to lurk on the periphery of the Japanese artillery wing, as long as the aircraft group arrives above the Japanese camp, they will send signal flares to guide the specific direction of the Japanese artillery wing.
Second, the transfer of logistics materials of the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces to Wangbuzhuang must destroy all the logistics materials hoarded there by the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces in one fell swoop, so as to gain an advantage for our next war.
Third, the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy off the coast of Jiaozhou Bay, even if it can't sink their heavy-tonnage battleships, must teach them a hard lesson! Let them know that from now on, China's territorial sea sovereignty is not something they can trample on at will! ”
After listening to the air raid on the target, Chen Yifan and the others were all in high spirits, and for the first time, they intuitively saw the incomparably important strategic position of the air force.
According to Wang Mo's deployment, the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade launched a large-scale air attack on these three targets, which can be described as a heavy blow, and the punches are the key points of the British and Japanese coalition forces.
In today's era when there are no means of air defense, as long as the aircraft is within range, the air force will definitely hit wherever it wants.
"Yes! The Blue Eagle Flying Brigade will live up to the commander's trust and complete the air raid operation! Chen Yifan stepped forward and said awe-inspiringly.
Subsequently, Chen Yifan led a group of officers of the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade to rush back to Jiaoxian Airport to convey Wang Mo's air raid order to all the pilots.
In this large-scale air raid operation, 120 planes belonging to the Blue Eagle Flying Group will pour out, and the targets of the first wave of air raids will simultaneously lock on the artillery wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the military supplies hoarded in Xiawangbuzhuang.
In the fierce wind caused by the rotation of the propellers of the planes, the guides in the conspicuous yellow vests waved green flags and signaled, and one after another the planes immediately glided and took off, rushed into the sky one after another, and finally formed a large group formation and flew towards the location of the air raid target in the east.
……
Jimo. Headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army.
Terauchi Masashi was looking at the huge map of China hanging on the wall of the headquarters, and suddenly felt full of pride, and said to the Kamio Mitsutomi next to him with high spirits: "Kamio-kun, China is such a vast territory. What are those incompetent China pigs to have? Now that our Great Japanese Empire has risen, then this huge and decaying country will eventually be included in the territory of the Empire! The first step in conquering China began in Shandong! ”
"Hey, that's what Your Excellency said. The backward and decaying army of China will not be able to stop the iron hooves of our Imperial Japanese Army at all! In his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that the territory of Shina was too vast to be completely annexed at once, the powerful Imperial Japanese Army would have completely wiped out the entire Shina long ago.
Terauchi Masaki laughed and said, "Well said, Kamio-kun. Our allies will soon land in Laoshan Bay, so we must create a fait accompli to occupy the whole of Shandong before they know it. ”
"According to the pace of the march. At this time, Yamada-kun should have led the 24th Brigade to Jiaoxian and engaged those Chinese bandits. I just don't know what the situation is now, why hasn't it been reported back even if the war has been sent back until now, isn't the battle going very well? Kamio Mitsutomi said with some confusion.
According to the normal situation, after the start of the war, the 24th Brigade and Regiment must regularly deliver battle reports to the headquarters of the 18th Division, so that the headquarters can keep abreast of the latest battle situation and make responses.
"The battle didn't go well? Haha......" Masaki Terauchi laughed a little exaggeratedly as if he had heard an extremely funny joke. "Kamio-kun, you're really joking, the bandits are just some rabble who are no better than pigs and sheep. What could be causing trouble for the 24th brigade? ”
Seeing Masayi Terauchi's reaction, Kamio Mitsutomi suddenly felt that he was worrying about nothing, and couldn't help but nod and said: "That's right, the strength of the bandits has always been inferior to the militia, even if there are as many as 20,000 people. It is estimated that it is also a waste that collapses at the touch of a button. Come to think of it, it was Yamada-kun who had already exterminated the Chinese bandits entrenched in Jiaoxian County, and was busy dispatching troops to control the Jiaoji Railway, so he forgot to deliver the battle report to the headquarters for a while. ”
"Shenwei-kun, instead of worrying about these impossible things, we should make preparations for sending troops to occupy and control the whole of Shandong as soon as possible." Masaki Terauchi said with a smile.
However, as soon as Masahiro's words fell, a noisy and noisy sound suddenly came from outside the headquarters.
Shoyi in the temple and Mitsuki Kamio both frowned, so noisy and noisy, is there still military discipline at all, these young soldiers should be punished severely.
Just as Mitsutomi Kamio was about to go out to check on the specific situation, his adjutant Murakami Masatake ran into the headquarters with a panicked face.
"What's the panic, do you still look like a warrior of the Imperial Japanese Army?" Mitsutomi Kamio angrily scolded Masatake Murakami, who was panting.
However, Murakami Matake did not immediately bow his head and admit his mistake after being reprimanded by Kamio Mitsutomi as usual, but still said with a panicked face: "Your Excellency General, the 24th Brigade ...... 24th Brigade ......"
Murakami Masatake gasped and didn't finish his words for a while, which made Terauchi Masashi scold in a hurry: "Baga, what's wrong with the 24th Brigade, say it quickly!" ”
"24th Brigade...... Except for a few soldiers who escaped by chance, the rest were all ...... It's all shattered! Murakami finally finished his words intermittently.
What the?
The entire 24th Brigade was shattered?
Terauchi Masatsuki and Kamio Mitsutomi's faces changed drastically, and they were both incredulous at this almost impossible news.
"No way, it's absolutely impossible!" Terauchi Masashi shouted angrily, then stared at Murakami Masatake with devouring eyes, and said viciously, "You must be lying, how can the 24th Brigade be all broken." Say, are you a spy of the people of China? ”
Suspected of being a spy, Murakami Masatake hurriedly defended: "No...... Your Excellency, I am not a spy for the people of China. The news of all the jade shattering of the 24th Brigade was brought back by a few soldiers of the 24th Brigade who were lucky enough to survive, and they are now outside the headquarters. ”
Is it really true that the news that the defeated soldiers of the 24th Brigade brought back?
Kamio Mitsutomi said to Murakami Masatake with an extremely ugly face: "Murakami, immediately go and bring in the soldiers of the 24th Brigade who have escaped!" ”
Soon, four soldiers of the 24th Brigade, covered in blood, entered the headquarters and reported to Terauchi Masatsuki and Mitsutomi Kamio the details of the Battle of Flying Bear Ridge.
Syllable!
Terauchi Masayi kicked the four soldiers of the 24th Brigade to the ground one by one, and scolded in some hysterical anger: "Nonsense, it's all nonsense, the bandits in Shina not only have powerful artillery units, but also a large group of bombers, do you think this is a performance on the stage of the Kyoto Theater?" ”
Mitsutomi Kamio knew that in fact, Terauchi Masatsuki, like him, had already believed in the almost impossible news of the annihilation of the 24th Brigade, and now he was just venting.
"Your Excellency, it seems that the so-called Shina bandits entrenched in Jiaoxian County should be disguised by the Shina government army, and their purpose is to ambush and attack our Imperial Japanese Army." Kamio Mitsutomi analyzed with a gloomy face.
"The Chinese government army, that's right, it must be the Chinese government army!" Terauchi Masaki gritted his teeth and shouted, "Damn Shina, do you want to declare war on the Japanese Empire, then fulfill them, immediately report the matter to the Tokyo headquarters, and let Minister Iji in Beijing officially declare war on the Shina!" ”
There is no doubt that things have come to this point, and they have completely made a big fuss.
However, the fanatical ** faction of Terauchi Masayi did not care how big the matter was, but he wished that the Tokyo cabinet could pass a motion to declare war on China, so that he could lead the army to sweep the China army without any scruples, and blatantly divide and annex the entire China.
As soon as the words of Masaki in the temple shouting for a declaration of war fell, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound from outside the headquarters.
As if realizing something, all the Japanese officers in the headquarters had their faces drastically changed, and they rushed out of the headquarters one after another, looking up at the sky.
120 aircraft may not sound like a lot, but the fleet of this number of aircraft is extremely large, especially for someone who has not even seen a decent air force.
In the eyes of all the Japanese officers and men, the huge group of planes in the sky was like a black cloud covering the sky, and the swarm of planes was extremely spectacular and shocking.
"Is this our ally's plane, it's amazing!"
"I heard that our allies have a bomber that can drop bombs, right?"
"So many bombers, those white German ghosts are dead!"
……
Many soldiers of the 18th Division, who did not know the situation of the total annihilation of the 24th Brigade, subconsciously thought that this was a British group of planes, and they were going to Qingdao to bomb the Germans, so they were very excited and waved their hands at the group in the sky and shouted something.
Buzz - Buzz -
The humming of the planes grew louder and closer, and when they flew over the 18th Division, they suddenly split into two and became two flying formations.
One of the flight formations, escorted by 10 Fokker DR.1 fighters, turned westward and flew towards Xiawangbuzhuang, where the Anglo-Japanese forces were hoarding military supplies.
Another flying formation continued to fly towards the barracks of the Japanese 18th Division and began to gradually reduce its altitude.
At this time, two red signal flares suddenly rose into the air one after another at the position of the artillery wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, and the bomber group immediately shook its wings and swooped straight towards the position where the signal flares appeared.
Seeing such a scene, Kamio Mitsutomi's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, that's where the artillery wing is located!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Wipe, there is no state today, and the speed of the codeword has dropped significantly. But it's still working hard, I hope you don't rush.
