Chapter 454: Responding to Air Raids

readx; Today's weather is very clear, with white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the rolling hills, roads, villages and cities on the ground can be clearly seen from the plane. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhen the bomber group passed over Xiamen and Zhangzhou, Taro Kumamoto saw the crowd running around on the street, and he felt the urge to dive down and bomb. The sight of the Chinese flying flesh and blood under bomb attacks always excites him, and after each bomb drop, he hovers over the battlefield for a while to admire his masterpiece. However, today's goal is not here, Kumamoto Taro had to force down the bloodthirsty **, looking forward to the arrival of Long Yan.

More than an hour later, the group was over the target, and the billowing smoke rising from the middle of the valley marked the best for the pilots.

Kumamoto Taro and the other three planes began to attack as the first echelon, he pressed down the longitudinal pole hard, and roared down the valley, as the distance gradually approached, the dense buildings on the ground became clearer and clearer, and countless figures ran out of the factory, running in an orderly manner towards the cave below the cliff.

Kumamoto Taro smiled and said, "Let's let you China pigs live a little longer!" "Then speed up the dive.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several dazzling fires appear in the dense forest on the hillside, and hurriedly and subconsciously pulled the longitudinal pole, and the plane made a palpitating metal grinding sound, and rose rapidly, and a cannonball flew close to the wing. The bomber on his left was not so lucky, and before the pilot could react, two shells hit, and the tail of the plane came out with billowing smoke tumbling and falling rapidly, crashing headlong into the cliff and turning into burning scrap metal.

"Eight grids!" Kumamoto roared angrily, and the plane quickly turned around and rushed towards the place where it had just been attacked, and the other two planes also turned at the same time, joining in the retaliation.

However, before they could reach the target, more than a dozen shells flew in the jungle, forming a cross-fire network in the air, Kumamoto was shocked and hurriedly pulled the plane up again, and the other two planes were doing the same thing, unfortunately, one of the planes suddenly disintegrated, and the pilot fell down with a wail.

"It's a trap!" Ichiro Kumamoto began to get scared, and after circling in the air a few times, he pulled the plane down from a distance and flew close to the top of the mountain, while other bombers joined the attack. It was only then that the concealed anti-aircraft positions revealed their true strength: more than a hundred anti-aircraft guns fired at a rapid rate, firing deadly shells one after another, weaving a huge net of fire that firmly enveloped the valley and smashed any bomber that tried to cross.

Not to be outdone, the bomber group divided into several echelons, took turns to assault, constantly dropping bombs and igniting a skyrocketing fire in the middle of the woods. The artillery on the ground fought bloodily in the midst of continuous explosions and dense shrapnel: the gunner died, and the loader immediately made up for it; The officer died, and the non-commissioned officer immediately took over the command; When the intestines flowed out, he tied it with a belt and continued to fight; When his arms flew away, he climbed up the gun position with the cannonball between his legs; The gunner's leg was broken, and he still fired fiercely until the last drop of blood was shed; When the ammunition box caught fire, he threw himself on it and extinguished the fire with his flesh and blood.

One plane after another exploded in the air, and one anti-aircraft gun was blown apart, and the two sides fought fiercely around the valley.

Ichiro Kumamoto insidiously locks on his target: four anti-aircraft guns in a glade! The plane swept rapidly over the treetops and suddenly appeared in front of the artillerymen, Kumamoto Ichiro pressed the firing button sharply, and the dense machine-gun bullets suddenly enveloped the entire position, and he clearly saw that the two artillerymen were sent flying, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After making a U-turn, Kumamoto flew back to completely destroy this position! The plane flexibly made an S-shaped movement in the air under his skillful longitudinal, avoiding the attacks of several firepower points in a row, and approached the position just now, his fingers had just been put on the launch button, but he was stunned to find that the muzzles of the three black holes were facing him straight, and even the resolute expression on the gunner's face could be seen clearly. The three shells slashed like lightning, and Kumamoto Ichiro had no time to react so closely, and with a violent explosion, the left wing and tail burst into flames at the same time, and the cockpit was suddenly filled with billowing smoke.

Kumamoto Ichiro used all his strength to hold on to the longitudinal pole, and the plane staggered out of the anti-aircraft fire network, but the altitude began to decline. Ichiro Kumamoto realized that the plane was about to explode at any moment, so he hurriedly pressed the longitudinal pole with his foot, pulled it over the back of the parachute bag with his hand, and then opened the hatch and jumped out.

A few minutes later, Ichiro Kumamoto landed in a farmland, he had just unfastened his parachute bag, and before he could take a look at his surroundings, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded, and when he looked up, he saw a small peasant rushing towards him with a flat pole.

Ichiro Kumamoto smiled contemptuously, calmly took out the pistol on his waist, opened the safe, aimed at the pair of eyes on the opposite side that were spraying angry flames, and pulled the trigger!

'Click', the Wang Ba box with a high failure rate is stuck!

"Eight grids!" Kumamoto Ichiro scolded angrily, and hurriedly used his hand to pull the bolt, but the whistling flat pole hit his arm accurately and powerfully, and with the crisp cracking sound of the bones, the box fell to the ground.

Kumamoto Ichiro jumped up in pain, and as soon as he hit the ground, the flat pole swept over the face bone, knocking him to the ground, and then the farmer unceremoniously struck him in succession, breaking both of his legs, and then grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the field like a dead dog.

At this time, the battle over the arsenal was nearing the end, although the army paid the price of eight bombers, but still did not break through the defenders' anti-aircraft fire network, the annoyed and angry army turned around and flew towards the city of Longyan.

However, what the army did not expect was that the antiaircraft artillery brigade directly under the group army was now gathering at Longyan, kicking the iron plate, and four planes were shot down by intensive artillery fire before they could get close to the urban area.

In order to retaliate, the "Kisarazu" air force, which suffered heavy losses, continued to bomb major cities in Fujian in the following days, but did not take advantage of the air defense forces that were waiting for them.

The "Kisarazu" air force waged havoc over Fujian for a whole week, leveling all 20 county towns in southern and central Fujian, reducing countless houses to ashes, killing and wounding people, and losing hundreds of thousands of their homes. It was only at this time that the murderous Yue army stopped bombing Fujian and changed the target to the roads and bridges connecting southern Fujian and northern Guangdong, in a vain attempt to delay the attack of the Ninth Army.

Although the main force of the legion had been assembled, Gao Fei had to temporarily stop the pace of advancing into Guangdong and send a large number of troops to assist the local government in disaster relief and deal with the aftermath. Since Fujian had built up a strong economic and industrial base over the years, the relief work was carried out very smoothly, and reconstruction work began in many places, allowing Gao Fei to sit quietly and reflect on the grim situation facing the Ninth Army.

On 1 November, Gao Fei convened a meeting of the commanders of the 78th Division, the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps, the 1st Provisional Division, and the 26th Division assembled in the Longyan area to discuss the issue of air defense.

Gao Fei first said: "The bombers of the Lian Yue army have been wreaking havoc in the skies over Fujian, slaughtering our people, burning our homes, nearly 10,000 people were killed in the air raids, and hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless, but we do not have enough strength to protect the people, which is simply a shame for us soldiers!" ā€

Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up from his chair, propped up the table with both hands, and glanced at his subordinates with a sharp gaze: "Although the army has temporarily changed its target, it will definitely come again, so we must come up with a proper solution as soon as possible!" Then he pointed to Huang Ying and Xu Guoqiang and said, "I specially invited Director Huang and Brother Siqiang over, and they can answer your questions about weapons and equipment at any time." ā€

As soon as Gao Fei's words fell, Yu Wenzheng stood up and said loudly: "Commander, the little devils have all hit the door, what else is there to discuss!" In my opinion, we should immediately stop the military operation against Guangdong, concentrate our troops on the eastern coast, cross the sea to attack Taiwan, and completely eradicate this cancer! ā€

In order to confirm the feasibility of the plan, Yu Wenzheng walked to the front of the map in a few steps, pointed to the island of Taiwan, and said: "The army stationed in Taiwan originally had three brigades and one artillery wing, which were stationed in Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei. Botian's detachment was thrown into the Wuhan battlefield, but it was completely annihilated by our army, so there was only one brigade left in Taiwan's garrison, and even with the artillery wing, there were less than 20,000 people! With such a small number of troops, to defend such a large place, there must be loopholes everywhere, and our army can definitely land easily. ā€

Lin Yiru asked: "We are crossing the sea to fight, and the narrowest part of the Taiwan Strait is dozens of kilometers, how can we transport troops and heavy equipment?" ā€

Yu Wenzheng said confidently: "When the military department was making floating batteries, it bought back a batch of scrapped warships from the United States, and two of them were barely usable, and they could be used to transport heavy equipment, and the troops could use sailboats -- didn't Zheng Chenggong use sailboats to recover Taiwan back then?" ā€

It is clear that Yu Wenzheng has been quietly preparing for the recovery of Taiwan for several months in Fujian.

The commander of the Jewish Legion, Szpilman, was also an offensive soldier and agreed with Yu Wenzheng's plan: "Commander Zhong's plan is very good-the army is scattered in such a vast area, it is difficult to concentrate troops, and we only need to send one division of troops to the island, and we can easily defeat them!" ā€

Bai Yuehai's opinion was not so optimistic, he asked: "Assuming that our army successfully lands and successfully annihilates the defenders, what will we do in the future?" ā€

Yu Wenzheng looked at Bai Yuehai with strange eyes: "What will I do in the future?" After destroying the enemy and recovering the country, it is natural to build this place into a solid rear base and support the war of resistance with materials and personnel! Don't look at it, Taiwan has a population of nearly 6 million, and the land is fertile and abundant! ā€

Bai Yuehai saw that Yu Wenzheng didn't understand his question, so he asked directly: "I'm asking how to stick to Taiwan?" Then he explained his problem in detail: "As everyone knows, the strength of the navy is very strong, and although it has sent three fleets in a row to support the army in operations, there are still hundreds of large warships gathered on its own territory, including not only heavy cruisers, battleships, but also aircraft carriers, and the enemy can concentrate a large number of warships at any time to blockade the Taiwan Strait, turn the landing troops into lone troops, and then transfer the land forces to carry out landing operations." We don't have our own naval forces, so we can't compete with the Japanese army on the sea, and we can't transport supplies to the past, so how can the troops on the island hold on! ā€

Yu Wenzheng smiled lightly and replied, "How can you not hold on?" If you think about it, with the support of the six million people on the island, even if you can't defend yourself against the enemy overseas, you can still use guerrilla warfare to persevere and grow slowly! Didn't the Third Regiment develop in Jiangbei with this strategy? No matter how powerful the navy is, it can't stay in Taiwan all day, and after the fleet retreats, can't we still eat their army? ā€

Gao Fei was originally very interested in Yu Wenzheng's plan, but after listening to his words, he suddenly remembered the Taiwanese soldiers who were captured in the Battle of Wuhan, and immediately frowned: "Yu Wenzheng, this plan has a fatal flaw and will not work!" ā€

Yu Wenzheng was stunned and asked, "What fatal flaw?" ā€

Gao Fei said in a sad tone: "The six million people in Taiwan may not necessarily support us!" Taiwan has been ruled by Yue Ben for nearly half a century, and under the continuous brainwashing and enslavement education, the sense of identity with the motherland is very weak, especially those Taiwanese who were born after the First Sino-Japanese War, who grew up under the rule of Yue himself since childhood, speak the Yue language, and received the education of Yu Ben, and have long forgotten who their ancestors were! Then he let out a long sigh and said, "There are already many Taiwanese soldiers in the army, and our army has captured one in the Wuhan battlefield!" ā€

Several other division commanders participated in the Battle of Wuhan, and they were not surprised at all when they knew the ins and outs of this incident, but Yu Wenzheng was different: as if he had suddenly received a stick, he immediately wilted, and said in a low voice: "So you have to fight not only with yourself, but also with your own compatriots!" ā€

There was a sudden silence in the conference room.

After more than ten seconds, Yu Wenzheng seemed to suddenly figure it out, and said excitedly: "Since they no longer regard themselves as Chinese, then they are themselves, what kind of politeness do they have to the little devils, just fight!" ā€

Gao Fei asked rhetorically: "Then how many troops are you going to use to conquer Taiwan?" Don't forget - there are six million supporters behind the defenders! ā€

Yu Wenzheng was so angry that he fell into the chair and scolded: "I said that he was an ancestor!" "No more sound.

The most effective approach could not be implemented, and participants had to consider other options.

Gao Fei looked at Xu Guoqiang and said: "The experiment of coal refining has been successful, and the fuel problem of tanks and aircraft has been solved, so what about our aircraft and tanks?" What about the aircraft and tanks that we bought through the overseas Chinese in Nanyang? When will the plane be able to take to the skies? When will tanks be able to gallop on land? ā€

Xu Guoqiang felt that the commander's tone was obviously not as polite as before, and knew that he was facing great pressure, so he hurriedly replied: "We bought spare parts, and then hired foreign engineers for technical guidance, and patriotic overseas Chinese helped us solve this problem through different channels." At the moment the flight tests of the fighter have passed, the fire control system is being tested, and if nothing else, it can be completed in two months. The progress of the tank is a little slower, and it will take another half a year. ā€

Listening to his words, Gao Fei's mood was a little better, and he continued to ask: "So as long as you hold on for two more months, there will be planes to defend Fujian's airspace?" ā€

The officers also looked at Xu Guoqiang with eager eyes, hoping to hear an affirmative answer.

Xu Guoqiang replied softly: "It is true that fighter jets can be assembled in two months, but the construction of the aircraft factory also takes time, and the output must be very low at the beginning, and only a few can be assembled every month, so I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the needs of the army immediately." In addition, the prototype we use is the American P-16 model, which is inferior to the military's 'Zero' fighter, and it still needs to be continuously improved. ā€

Yu Wenzheng said dissatisfiedly: "If it goes on like this, can Ma Yue have its own air force in the Year of the Monkey?" ā€

Huang Ying hurriedly said, "Chief Yu, we have done our best!" The young men of the institute work day and night, many of them have gray hair at a young age, and they pay no less sweat than you! ā€

At this time, Gao Fei's mood calmed down, and he said calmly: "Director Huang, we don't blame you, it is indeed not easy for the Ordnance Research Institute to develop aircraft and tanks in such a short period of time, the researchers must have paid hard work, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Legion Command!" ā€

Huang Ying and Xu Guoqiang were very embarrassed by him, and hurriedly said modestly: "Where, where!" ā€

Then Gao Fei said earnestly: "I have figured it out, everything must be done step by step, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, and it is unrealistic to think that you will have a powerful air force overnight!" I decided to buy 20 fighters and 8 trainer planes from the United States first, and for the time being, you can work with peace of mind! ā€

Xu Guoqiang asked: "It will take more than a month to buy a plane to be shipped, what should I do during this time?" ā€

Gao Fei replied: "For the time being, we can only try to loosen out the residents of small cities that have not been able to let go, and at the same time, the troops will march towards Guangdong on a large scale to attract the bombers of the Japanese army!" ā€

Xu Guoqiang said worriedly: "Isn't it too risky to do this!" ā€
