Will the *** ground forces on the front line really have a few better days? The answer is no, the Japanese commander took out the "**** attack spirit" during the Russo-Japanese War, and went crazy to command the troops to attack *** positions on all fronts! In this form, Lin Jun's Soviet Air Force completely became the role of "firefighters", and they were there when there was a crisis, and the remaining air force was also fully engaged in attacks on ground targets, and they had already put all their fighters into air strikes on the front line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If precision bombing is not possible, then attack the Japanese army's logistics supply lines; Fighter planes could not carry bombs, so they fired in the line of fire: as soon as their own planes appeared in the air, the troops on the ground would be like a shot in the arm -- although the actual effect of killing and injuring the Japanese troops was mediocre, as long as it boosted morale. As a matter of fact, this "trick" of the air force to boost the morale of the ground troops was invented by Lao Chiang: Lao Chiang made this "clever trick" in order to "protect" his precious air force, and now it has really become a way out of the way.

After the sortie on the afternoon of 12 September, the bomber unit of the Soviet Air Force aiding China was already out of ammunition, and the Soviet-made bombs delivered by transport planes every day were a drop in the bucket, which could not meet the needs of the enemy's attack at all, and could only send at most two or three SB-2s a day to bomb Japanese targets. The logistics can't be solved, and the dozens of bombers in Lin Jun's hands have become decorations!

Although the current situation made Lin Jun anxious, the problem could be solved either by himself - he had sent a telegram to the Minister of the Air Force Alxnis for help, but Alxnis was also unable to help, this minister comrade had put as many transport planes as possible into support for Nanjing, but this long route decided everything, before the establishment of an effective ground transportation line, Lin Jun could only get supplies every day so pitiful.

It was not easy here, and the Japanese troops over there were also sad: the loss of air supremacy and the bombing of munitions ships made them almost face the primitive attack method of bayonet assault, but fortunately, those planes marked with the "blue sky and white sun" mark did not carry out large-scale air raids after a day of indiscriminate bombardment, and only the close support of some fighters caused some trouble to their side. But what gave the Japanese commander a headache was: as long as his side launched a large-scale attack on a certain position, those nasty planes would appear in the air to interfere, and the most troublesome thing was: sometimes they would drop a kind of terrifying incendiary bombs, although the number was not large, but it seriously hit the troops' will to fight, and even made some soldiers suffer from "airplane phobia" -- although the number of soldiers killed by those incendiary bombs was relatively not very large in terms of the total number of troops, But the horrific condition of the charred corpses and the badly burned wounded created fear among some of the cowards in the troops.

The battle outside Shanghai entered the white-hot stage, and the battle in the city was also extremely fierce, one of the ace troops, the 88th Division of the all-German armament equipment in the Zhabei area and the Japanese marines launched a desperate fight!

On the morning of September 15, Daxiaochang Airport received a request for close support from the *** troops in Shanghai, and because the target of the bombing was somewhat special, Andrupf and Prokofiev personally handled it.

Before the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese marines and regiments stationed in the Japanese concession of Shanghai had already built a large number of fortifications in the Lend-Lease, and had also strengthened some buildings with a wide field of vision and solid structure into fortresses -- they had even dismantled some cannons into parts and transported them to the roofs of some buildings to establish "air" artillery positions! These Japanese artillery on reinforced concrete roofs posed a great threat to the Chinese forces in the city. The roofs of these buildings were particularly strong when they were built, and the roofs of ordinary buildings could not withstand the recoil generated by the firing of the 75-mm field guns equipped by the Japanese army: this indicates that the Japanese had a premeditated plan to turn these buildings into artillery positions when they were built.

This time, Andrupf and Prokofiev aimed at the post and telecommunications building located in the Japanese concession of Shanghai, which is a 7-story reinforced concrete building, and the Japanese army built an artillery position with sandbags on the flat roof of the building, equipped with a total of 8 Type 38 75mm field guns, and hit the range of its range (the maximum range is 8350 meters on flat ground, because it is on the roof, it is even farther. The Japanese army had already mastered the coordinates of the distances and directions of all the street buildings in Shanghai, and these cannons could immediately provide fire support as soon as the Japanese troops in front called for help. At the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the first unit organized commandos several times to destroy the Japanese artillery positions on this building, but due to the geographical advantage of the Japanese army in this area, the reinforced concrete buildings were not afraid of small arms shooting, and several assaults were unsuccessful.

When Lin Jun saw the telegram requesting close support, he really didn't understand - why didn't such a dangerous target destroy it as soon as the war started?! In the first week after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the *** army invested 3 divisions and a brigade of its most elite German-style troops to storm the Shanghai-Japanese concession. And the opponents of these elite troops were the 4,000 ship-based sailors who resisted and the defenders who were temporarily organized by Japanese expatriates. Some historians commented: During the entire Anti-Japanese War, the vast majority of the situation was that the Japanese army used superior equipment and firepower to deal with the first army, but the early stage of the Battle of Songhu was just reversed, whether it was in terms of troops, equipment, and firepower, the German armament troops had an absolute advantage, and if it was replaced by Lin Jun to command, it would hit all the forces, concentrate on the use of all heavy equipment, and drive the Japanese army out of the Huangpu River in one go.

It is a pity that although the grassroots officers and men of these German-style units fought bravely and were not afraid of sacrifice, they did not achieve much success. By August 23rd, the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Shanghai, and the German troops were unable to destroy the Japanese defenders in the case of overall superiority, and then they could only turn the attack into defense - this can only be said to be the mistake and stupidity of the command and deployment of the senior officers.

In order to completely destroy this artillery position, Sergeant Major Vasily took out all the guys in his possession, because the continuous sorties had consumed a lot of ammunition, and the number of aerial bombs rationed to the I-16 in the colonel's factory was pitiful. The I-16 piloted by Andlupuv carried the last 200-kilogram armor-piercing bullet in the ammunition depot, while Prokofiev's landline carried a solidified ******.

The two I-16s approached the downtown area of Shanghai at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and because of the complicated construction situation in Shanghai, the pilot Andrupf circled for more than 10 minutes according to the aeronautical chart index after flying over the city before determining the position of the Japanese artillery position.

It was a rectangular building with a flat roof area of more than 1,000 square meters, on which the Japanese built eight artillery bunkers with sandbags, and fired from time to time.

"Prokofiev, I'll drop the bomb first, and you will follow."

"Understood!"

The two I-16s entered the attack course at a 50-degree dive angle, and Andlupf's plane dived all the way to a height of 500 meters before dropping the bomb. The Japanese soldiers on the roof had already noticed the two planes in the air, but because they did not have suitable anti-aircraft weapons in their hands, they could only stare dryly into the air and watch the two planes dive down in the direction of the building. Several Japanese soldiers tried to shoot into the air with rifles in their hands, which was simply a futile resistance.

The armor-piercing bomb hit the left side of the roof, penetrated the floor and penetrated another 4 floors, only to explode on the third floor, destroying half of the entire building. When the Japanese soldiers were crying for their fathers and mothers, Prokofiev's solidified ****** hit the remnants of the building, and in an instant, it was like lighting a huge torch, and the building was plunged into a sea of fire.

After the two planes had climbed to an altitude of 1,500 meters, Andlupuf flattened the planes and turned the nose to observe. Hovering around the target, the Japanese "artillery on the roof" ceased to exist.

、、、、、、

At noon on September 15, Lin Jun received a top-secret telegram from Moscow, decoded by his confidential secretary Fekochinov. After reading the telegram, Lin Jun walked alone to the grove near the airport.

"Fekochinov, is it some special case?"

Landscoch asked him, because Lin Jun signaled his personal bodyguard not to follow him for the time being, which made Landscoch feel a strange aura.

"It's nothing, let's let the chief stay alone, and we shouldn't ask too much about some things."

Fekochinov knew that the chief wanted to sit alone because of that telegram, and the telegram was sent by Stalin himself, and Fekochinov certainly knew the contents and knew why the chief was like this. But he knew that this was not the time for him to do something, and the best way was to leave the chief alone.

"We should not take too many initiatives, lest we rapidly deteriorate relations between Japan and Japan!" Lin Jun was thinking about the contents of the telegram. Stalin praised himself and the great results achieved by the air force aiding China, but he also clearly reminded him: You have forced Japan into a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, and the Japanese army is about to jump over the wall!

The content of the telegram is more than 1,000 words, and if the person who receives the telegram is not Lin Jun and is replaced by someone else, the most likely thing is that he will be escorted back to Moscow for examination: before departure, Stalin's intention was very clear, it was to hold back the Japanese army, not to force the Japanese army to attack the Soviet Union in a hurry.

"Don't take the initiative to attack too much, that is, don't cause losses that the Japanese army can't afford." It is not in the category of "taking the initiative to attack" that its own planes killed and injured the ground troops of the Japanese army, but the losses of "Long Xiang" and "Aoba" are something that the Japanese army cannot afford at present.

"Hehe, I just want to take the initiative again, and I don't have any ammo!" Lin Jun smiled bitterly.

In fact, Lin Jun's goal is also very clear: The Soviet Union absolutely cannot break out into a full-scale conflict with Japan now, and if the Soviet Union starts a full-scale war with Japan now, then it is estimated that the Soviet Union will be able to win the battle on the mainland within a year -- the ground forces of the two countries will no longer be on the same level at all. Lin Jun sometimes "fantasized" about leading the armored cluster of the Soviet Red Army to sweep away the Japanese army invading China now, but it was only a "fantasy" - because Lin Jun would never allow this to happen! Forcing the Japanese army to go to war with the USSR now, which only fools and reckless men would do.

Why?! For many reasons, very many and serious reasons! If the Soviet Red Army had attacked the Kwantung Army in the northeast eight years in advance, and even fought all the way to the Kannai to eliminate the Japanese invaders, it sounds very refreshing, but what will be the sequelae?! This consequence is not something that anyone can predict, and dare not predict! There is no stalemate in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there is no time and time to develop and grow - Lin Jun no longer thinks about it, he has already made a decision.

Landskocchi and Fekochinov were waiting at the edge of the grove when they saw Lin Jun walk out.

"Landscochie, let Snornick get the car ready, and then contact the airport guards, I will go to the city to visit their General Zhou Zhirou in half an hour."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

Landscoch immediately rushed to prepare, he just had to obey the orders of the chief.

"Fekochinov, come with me to Sergeant Major Vasily."

Vasily was instructing the mechanics in the hangar to overhaul the planes, and the high-intensity sorties of the past few days had caused all the fighters in the flight team to have minor problems, and he had no time to spare.

"Vasily, how much ammunition do we have now?"

"Captain, the bombers are in stock, and they rely on the ones that are delivered every day. The armor-piercing bombs used by the I-16 are also gone, there are still 5 solidified ******, and there are still 5 bases for cannon ammunition and machine gun bullets. ”

Lin Jun also knew that it had now reached the point where "the ammunition was exhausted and the food was not exhausted", and the colonel's factory originally stored a lot of aviation gasoline, but its own Soviet-style aviation bombs had been used up, and there were only two or three transport planes that airlifted ammunition every day, that is to say, it was only enough for bombers to dispatch three or five bombers at a time.

"Vasily, from today onwards, if the ammunition airlifted remains in the current amount, you will save half of it every day, and you can't throw it all out. No one is to be used except on the orders of me or Comrade Andlupf. ”

"Yes, Captain. If it weren't for the orders of you and Comrade Andlupf, I wouldn't have given it even when the king of heaven came. ”

"The transportation line is too long, and it is not easy to transport some ammunition, so we have to save some and use it when it is critical. It is hoped that the land lines of communication will be opened sooner. Lin Jun seemed to be talking to himself.
