The bombing of Japan also ceased for the time being, and it was not until the 28th, when the convoy brought in ammunition, that the bombing began again. In the past few days, Luo Yunchong has been inspired by Hao Dongjue, and he has also begun to think about some new tactics. On the 24th, Tan Renhao sent a new tactical plan from Luo Yunchong directly to Gan Yongxing, and on the 25th, the two received a telegram from the naval headquarters, asking them to return to the naval headquarters immediately.

"What did the Chief of Staff tell us to come back for?" This is the fifth time Luo Yunchong has raised this question.

"I don't know." Tan Renhao shrugged his shoulders, and he answered the question for the fifth time.

Luo Yunchong smiled awkwardly. "Perhaps, we need to change the target of the bombing?"

Tan Renhao shook his head slightly, if it was just this matter, there was no need to recruit them back at all.

Luo Yunchong didn't say anything more, and the car carrying them quickly left the airport and drove in the direction of the naval headquarters. Half an hour after the ---- review, the car stopped outside the building of the Navy Headquarters, and Chief of Staff Gan Yongxing was waiting for them by the door.

"General Gan!" Tan Renhao and Luo Yun rushed up and saluted the admiral first.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, it looks like the two of you are also panicked on Jeju Island, right?" Gan Yongxing returned the salute with a smile and casually, "The principal asked me to come outside to greet you, and he has been waiting for hours." ”

Nie Renfeng's office is still the same, simple and solemn furnishings. Gan Yongxing didn't say hello to the secretary outside the door, and walked in directly with Tan Renhao and them. Nie Renfeng was standing by the window looking at the battleships in the harbor, and at this time, the First Task Force had already left Zhoushan Port. Tan Renhao had already found out on the road, he didn't ask General Gan Yongxing, to put it bluntly, Tan Renhao didn't have much idea about the First Task Force now, and he didn't want to ask this kind of question recklessly.

"Headmaster, Tan Renhao, they've arrived!"

Nie Renfeng turned around and nodded at Tan Renhao and Luo Yunchong. {Literature Reading ----}

"Sit down, it's not the first time you've been here!" Gan Yongxing smiled and invited the two to sit down.

Tan Renhao and Luo Yunchong were not too polite. They took the hat directly in their hands, and then sat down on the sofa after Nie Renfeng did it. Gan Yongxing took out a cigarette and lit it for the two of them first.

"I've read every one of your battle reports in detail, to be honest. The results are not very good. Nie Renfeng glanced at the two of them with a smile, "Originally, we thought that strategic bombing could achieve good results, at least force Japan to reduce the export of troops to the Korean Peninsula, but in fact, we are far from this goal." ”

"Headmaster. The fundamental purpose of strategic bombing was not to prevent the Japanese army from increasing its forces on the Korean Peninsula! Tan Renhao immediately came out to explain.

"Yes. Read ---- then what is the purpose of strategic bombing? Nie Renfeng still looked smiling. Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head. Luo Yunchong wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words back, the reason was very simple. They are still far from their true strategic goal.

"Actually, I'm well aware of the problems you're facing." Nie Renfeng sighed, "I don't mean to blame you, of course I fully believe that you have been doing your best to move towards your goal." But it's not enough to work hard, if you choose the wrong direction, then the harder you work, the farther you will get from your goal, right? ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, Nie Renfeng is his mentor. From the day he stepped into the door of the Naval Academy, he had been taught by Nie Renfeng.

"General Luo, what do you say?" Nie Renfeng's gaze shifted to Luo Yun Chongdi.

"Marshal, I understand!" Luo Yunchong smiled bitterly, he was more embarrassed than talking about Renhao89 "Actually. You have now found the right direction. Nie Renfeng sighed. The last time Liao Hanxiang came back, he mentioned the use of incendiary bombs. I think it works. Chief of Staff Gan Yongxing also believes that this is an effective method, of course, not everyone thinks so. Secondly, there is the new tactic you have come up with this time. ”

"Headmaster, it's all ......"

"It's what we thought of together." Luo Yunchong rushed ahead of Tan Renhao and said the words, "We have been reflecting on the previous bombing operations and have been summing up lessons and lessons. With the exception of Colonel Hao Dongjue's proposal to bomb Japan with incendiary bombs, we believe that a tight blockade of Japan is the best way to break up Japan. ”

"Yes, this point, in fact, our naval staff has also thought of it." Gan Yongxing smiled and nodded at the two, "Although the Japanese Navy is finished, Japan is a country composed of multiple islands. Literature Reading ---- At present, the Japanese invasion of Korea mainly departed from Kyushu Island, and most of the transportation between the Japanese islands relied on sea transportation. If we can cut off Japan's inland sea routes, it will be equivalent to isolating all the islands in Japan, which will be of great benefit to future combat operations and will also disperse Japan's military forces. However, it remains to be seen whether the tactics of laying mines with bombers will work. ”

"Technically, there won't be any problems." Luo Yunchong immediately said, "We can use bombers to drop torpedoes, and we can use bombers to drop mines." There will also not be much of a problem in terms of the quality of the pilots. Previously, we have carried out combat operations of ultra-low-altitude cross-sea flights, and pilots are able to fly skillfully at ultra-low altitudes. And now it was enough to have the bombers carry mines, not bombs, and drop these mines on the fairways where Japanese ships often appeared. ”

Tan Renhao glanced at Nie Renfeng and said, "If the mines are laid at night, then the danger should not be very great." ----In addition, the pilots now need to rest, and the pilots are extremely tired after nearly two months of high-intensity combat flights. And in order to prepare for future bombings, we should also try to preserve the combat effectiveness of our troops. In this way, we will be able to concentrate our efforts on attacking Japan's major cities in April! ”

Nie Renfeng nodded slightly, and then glanced at Gan Yongxing.

"We still have enough mines in stock, about more than 20,000 of them, and if all of them are used, it will be enough for the Japanese to suffer for a while!" Gan Yongxing laughed, "Of course, if we include the mine-laying capability of the submarine, we will probably be able to drop all these mines within a month." ”

"The problem is, the bomber needs to be improved!" Luo Yunchong shook his head with a smile.

"That's your thing!" Nie Renfeng stood up, "General Luo Yunchong." I approve your tactical plan. Before we launched a fire attack on Japan, the main task of the bomber unit was to lay mines, and of course we should not forget to bomb the Japanese military targets by the way, so as not to let the army men gossip about us in front of the acting prime minister. ----As for the technical problems of the bomber unit, I have already given General Liao Hanxiang full authority to deal with them. The aircraft factory will also fully assist. Your mission is to drop all those mines in the shortest time possible. If the initial results are more satisfactory, then I will immediately let the factory produce more mines, you have a lot to do, so. Return to Jeju Island as soon as possible. Don't waste your precious time! ”

Luo Yunchong immediately stood up. "Marshal, then I'll rush back in the evening."

Nie Renfeng smiled and nodded. Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing sent Luo Yunchong to the door.

"You go back first, and I'll be back as soon as this side is done." Tan Renhao knows. The headmaster must have had a different mission to keep him.

Luo Yunchong also knew that Tan Renhao must still have a new task. {Literature Reading ----} "Take care of yourself. ”

After sending Luo Yunchong away, Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing walked back.

"Renhao, what do you think of the next phase of the bombing plan?" Nie Renfeng handed a pack of cigarettes to Tan Renhao. Tan Renhao is Nie Renfeng's descendant, which is very obvious in Nie Renfeng's position arrangement of Tan Renhao and Luo Yunchong.

"If we can use incendiary bombs in April, we will probably be able to destroy Japan by the end of the year, of course, there will be enough bombers and ammunition!" Tan Renhao's answer was very cautious.

Nie Renfeng nodded slightly, and then pondered.

"You don't need to worry about that. By the end of April. We will have four bomber production lines, and we will definitely be able to complete this year's bomber production plan three months ahead of schedule, and General Liao Hanxiang has already made arrangements at the aircraft factory. If all goes well---- Hafei and Shenfei will produce at least 2,500 bombers by September. And Nanfei (Nanchang Aircraft Factory) will also complete the first bomber production line around October. Maybe. This year we will be able to build 3,000 bombers. Gan Yongxing explained in detail, "The problem with ammunition is not big. The Qingdao ammunition factory has given a clear reply, completing the test of the new incendiary bomb at the end of the month, and at the same time completing the modification of the production line, and the relevant material deployment will be in place by the end of March. At the earliest, the first incendiary bombs were produced in mid-April. I have already arranged the convoy in advance, and if the bomber group is from Jeju Island, then the first fire attack will be carried out at the end of April. If you're departing from the Ogasawara Islands, it won't be past the beginning of May! ”

"The question now is, how sure are you that you will destroy Japan by fire?" Nie Renfeng took over Gan Yongxing's words and looked at Tan Renhao very directly. "Liao Hanxiang should have explained to you the last time the Acting Prime Minister personally ordered the bombing of Japanese military targetsNow, the results we have achieved are very bad, even disappointing. The army is already actively active, demanding that the war situation on the Korean Peninsula be taken care of first, and even that the strategic strike force be handed over to the command of the army aviation, and has made guarantees. Renhao, you should know how much pressure we are under right now. Now, the acting prime minister has not yet made a decision, and I have vouched for it with the title of marshal, and if we can't achieve our goal by the end of the year, then we will have to make concessions to the army! ”

Tan Renhao gritted his teeth, to put it bluntly, the external enemy of the Imperial Navy is Japan, and the internal enemy is those army generals who have been fighting for power.

"The Army has already put forward a plan for landing on the Japanese mainland." Gan Yongxing and Tan Renhao have similar expressions and similar ideas. However, their proposal was not approved by the Acting Prime Minister. The Acting Prime Minister made it clear that if the Army was unable to overcome the stalemate in the Northwest Theater, complete operations in the South Seas by the middle of this year, and drive Japanese troops out of the Korean Peninsula, the Empire would not consider landing on the Japanese mainland within this year. As things stand, it is very unlikely that the Army will be able to achieve these three goals by the middle of the near future. ”

"However, we must not be careless in the slightest, to put it bluntly, everyone knows the value of the strategic strike force. The Army has been complaining that the Imperial Government's policy is skewed towards the Navy, and that there is not much support for the Army. Nie Renfeng sneered, "This year, the navy has received sixty percent of its military spending, although the proportion of military spending has decreased compared to last year, it still accounts for the majority." If we don't do anything yet, the Acting Prime Minister will certainly not continue to support the Navy and will turn to the Army. ”

"Headmaster, I understand!" Tan Renhao sighed, "I will do my best, if I can, I think, bomb Tokyo first, destroy Tokyo first, and then gradually take out other cities in Japan." Of course, the development of new bombers should also be accelerated, and if it were to bomb the central part of Japan's main island of Honshu, the current wolf doves would not be able to fully shoulder the heavy responsibility. ”

"You can rest assured that Hafei and Shen Fei have set up a joint research and development team, and have promised to come up with a design plan for the new bomber in June. In addition, there are several other aircraft factories that are also designing new bombers, and when the time comes, we will have a lot of options. Gan Yongxing glanced at Tan Renhao with a smile, "And the problem at hand is that you have to use the existing equipment to achieve our goal!" ”

"Ren Hao, I believe in your ability, of course, I hope that you can come up with practical results to prove that the theory proposed by you, Luo Yunchong, and Liao Hanxiang is correct!" Nie Renfeng stood up, "The marines have already captured Brother Island yesterday, and now they are rushing to repair the airport on the island. If you have time, you can pass. In addition, in consultation with General Yan Guozhong, if the facilities on the Ogasawara Islands and the Volcanic Islands are unable to support strategic bombing against Japan, then we can consider seizing some islands closer to the Japanese mainland. ”

Tan Renhao was slightly startled, and immediately nodded firmly. Nie Renfeng still supported him firmly and unreservedly, which made Tan Renhao very grateful, but gratitude can't solve the problem, he must come up with actual results to repay the principal!
