Chapter 212: April Fool's Attack

While Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi used mines to block Japanese ports and delay the movement of the Japanese army, all kinds of materials from Germany continued to enter China, ranging from pistols, rifles, bullets, etc., to artillery, aircraft, tanks, and so on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't just a meant, it was supplied in batches, with hundreds of thousands of guns, and hundreds of artillery, tanks, and airplanes each shipped.

Of course, after the German transport ships transport these weapons to China, they will also load a large amount of minerals and other materials from China, so that Germany can continue to produce them.

As soon as the weapons were in hand, Chairman Chiang personally organized an armored regiment, an artillery regiment, a flying regiment, and so on.

According to the experience provided by Wei Qidong, armored cluster operations, combined with air cluster aircraft groups, and motorized infantry units on the ground, can exert the strongest rapid attack power with strong mechanized mobility capabilities, which is the essence of blitzkrieg.

Chairman Chiang still believed very much in Wei Qidong's vision of the future, so when the Chinese armored forces were trained, they were also conducted in clusters, and the German advisers would also accompany them to guide them, and Wei Qidong would also come to observe and put forward his own views when he had time.

And when Wei Qidong expressed his opinion, even the advisers of the German army listened attentively, because they found that many of the theories of this young man were even much more advanced than those of the German army, and they were fully qualified to let them study and learn from them. The presence of Wei Qidong made many German advisers feel that they came to China not only to teach, but also to have a lot of places to learn, and that the two sides could completely complement each other.

In fact, in Wei Qidong's mind, if there is a trinity of armed aircraft and elevators, then the blitzkrieg will be even more awesome and forceful. Wei Qidong also told the Germans about this idea, which was greatly valued by Hitler and Guderian, so Hitler also personally ordered to speed up the research and development of armed helicopters.

It is said that it is research and development, but in fact it is imitation, after all, Wei Qidong provided the Germans with a full set of equipment for an armed helicopter.

At this time, the rotorcraft had already been designed, and the helicopter and the rotorcraft had many similarities, Wei Qidong believed that with the industrial level of the Germans and the helicopter gunship provided by themselves, the Germans should be able to quickly assemble the helicopter gunship.

The German armed helicopters were not developed, but the planes supporting China were constantly being delivered, and the fighters were mainly Bf-109B fighters, and the bombers were mainly Ju87 dive bombers, both of which were very advanced aircraft at the moment, and the Ju87 dive bomber Chinese name was Stuka dive aircraft, which was out of the limelight in World War II.

The reason why the Germans were so generous and sent their own main planes was that, on the one hand, Hitler knew that Wei Qidong knew what he had in Germany, and on the other hand, it naturally showed Germany's sincerity, after all, Wei Qidong gave them more advanced planes.

By March, Germany had more than 200 fighter planes and about 120 bombers supporting China, of which trainer planes were not counted.

Tanks are dominated by No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 tanks, although they can only be regarded as light tanks, but they are still relatively advanced at the moment, especially in the Asian theater, in the face of the little devil's tanks, all aspects of performance are also superior.

Seeing the growing armored troops, artillery units, and air force, Chairman Chiang was a little impatient to check the actual combat power, but at Wei Qidong's suggestion, he still found time to train more talents in related fields first, and at the same time strengthen training. After all, everyone understands the truth that sharpening knives does not mistakenly chop firewood.

Moreover, China is fighting in its own main battle, and the more well prepared it is, the better it will be for China. On the Japanese side, because Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi took the time to blockade their port, they were very sad, and dragging it out became more and more unfavorable to the Japanese army.

Of course, fighting a war is not only about weapons, but also about resources, and if resources are not supplied, no matter how many weapons there are, it is useless. In the past, China's air force, armored forces, and mechanized forces were weak and needed limited resources for war. But this is no longer the case, and the demand for energy such as oil has skyrocketed.

Wei Qidong obviously took this into account, and after finalizing the cooperation with Germany, Wei Qidong took the initiative to tell Chairman Jiang about the distribution of resources in our country. For example, oil, minerals and so on.

Although China is not a high-oil producing country, there are still some oil distribution areas, such as Daqing Oilfield, Shengli Oilfield, Changqing Oilfield, Jianghan Oilfield, Jiangsu Oilfield, etc., as long as the part is developed and the output capacity is increased, it is completely enough for China to use at present.

Of course, Wei Qidong only told Chairman Chiang about the oil fields and mineral deposits in the areas completely controlled by the Chinese side, and as for the Japanese-occupied areas or those very close to the Japanese-occupied areas, Wei Qidong did not say anything now, and when the time came, he would naturally say it, and it was meaningless to say it now, but it only stimulated the confidence of the Japanese to stick to the Japanese-occupied areas, after all, the biggest purpose of their invasion of China was for resources.

Germany also wants China's resources, but they get it through transactions, so when they know that China also has a lot of oil fields, they also cooperate vigorously, and the two sides cooperate in exploitation, and the technology and equipment are provided by Germany.

After nearly two months of coordinated training of armored troops, mechanized troops, and aircraft groups, the offensive plan of the Chinese army has been put on the agenda, and many German advisers have also participated in it to help the Chinese army make suggestions.

April 1, April Fool's Day in the West, however, the Chinese army did not joke.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, nearly 500 planes of various types, the main force of the Chinese Air Force, were dispatched rapidly with their respective tasks. Since there were not enough trained pilots in China, hundreds of German pilots were involved, and some pilots who had only been training for a few months were also tasked with the mission.

It can be said that if a large-scale aircraft sortie is dispatched in the Chinese battlefield, it will be the absolute first time, and the Japanese army has never tried it like this before, and it is probably difficult for them to think that the Chinese Air Force would go out with such a huge fleet of aircraft at one time.

Because of this, when the huge fleet of the Chinese Air Force appeared above the heads of the Japanese army, the Japanese army simply did not dare to believe that it was real. However, the Chinese Air Force acted very quickly and with a clear purpose, going straight to the target, and then there was a barrage of indiscriminate bombardment.

It can be said that since there were no large-scale battles for several months, and the Japanese army did not expect such a large-scale attack from the Chinese army suddenly, they were completely ill-prepared, and many planes did not get up.

However, in order to prevent Wei Qidong's attack, the Japanese airfield not only built the airfield secretly, but also built a separate bunker for each aircraft.

However, the bombers of the Chinese Air Force carried a large number of incendiary bombs, and the Japanese planes also used a large number of wooden structures.

Under such a blow from the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese air force in North China suffered heavy losses, and air supremacy was quickly grasped by the Chinese Air Force.
