Chapter 51: Orders

'Dangdang dang ......', although the tank lay down, but the bullet still hit it, in order to stop the Japanese soldiers behind it from retreating, the artillery also began to have some strength, only a few minutes of shells now become two or three a minute, this is no longer the kind of stinky bombs before, the shells that came from the Japanese exploded, some devils were blown away, some were hit by shrapnel, these people rolled on the ground and wailed, and then were dragged back by others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Yaga!" The tank was destroyed by the unfamiliar weapons of the Shina people, and the Shina artillery, which was inaccurate in every battle and did not play a role, also began to exert its might, and Kojima Yoshizo saw that his teeth were itching. With a wave of his hand, the accompanying artillery began to unfold, and the last brigade also crossed the river - since the Chinese army had unfamiliar weapons to fight tanks, and the infantry and tank coordination could not defeat the enemy, then the simplest infantry artillery coordination was adopted, as long as the artillery smashed their positions, and the imperial soldiers made another heroic charge, they would scatter and flee in all directions. The choice of tanks just now was just that Vice Admiral Kojima felt that the artillery deployment was too troublesome.

"The devil has crossed the river." At the front-line command post, Dong Qiwu, who saw in the telescope that the main forces of the devils had crossed the river, was overjoyed, he clenched his fists and shouted loudly behind him: "Quick, notify the navy, you can blow up the bridge, you can blow up the bridge!" ”

"Guan Si, Guan Si, here is 101, here is 101. The rat has crossed the river, the rat has crossed the river, the bridge can be broken, the bridge can be broken. Complete. After receiving Dong Qiwu's order, the navy communications corps immediately adjusted the channel and shouted into the radio. In the rustling noise, the voice of Guan Gonghuai, the fourth in the Guan Gong attack aircraft squadron, came over the radio, "Guan Si understands, Guan Si understands." Attack after five minutes, release red smoke to avoid accidental explosions. Complete. ”

"Inform the front-line soldiers to release red smoke." Soon after the reconnaissance plane returned, six attack planes loaded with bombs took off from Zhongwei airfield, and the saboteurs, who had been in the air for more than five hours, circled over the battlefield until they received orders from the ground.

According to the previous plan, two of the six attack planes would use a two-plane dive bombardment against the only remaining bridge over the Uga River, and the remaining four would attack the Japanese command post, artillery positions, and tank vehicles.

After the order of the front-line command post was transmitted, the 302nd Regiment and the 25th Artillery Regiment were lit up with red smoke as long as they were in the front line or in key positions. The first to dive were Guan Gonghuai, whose tail was numbered A-4, and Huang Weiran, whose tail was numbered A-5, both of whom were torpedo bomber pilots in the first phase of the US Naval Aviation Academy.

Most of the dive bombardments start from a height of 4,000 meters, at which the soldiers and artillery on the ground are only black spots or long spots, and only the bridge more than 20 meters long is the most conspicuous on the winding Uga River. The cooler is closed - the push rod - the slope is pressed to the right - the glide angle is eighty-five degrees - the speed is begun to be noticed. The needle of the speedometer flutters and quickly turns to the right: three hundred and fifty kilometers...... Four hundred...... Five hundred...... Five hundred and fifty ....... Seeing the maximum dive speed in the end, the throttle received zero - put down the speed brake - the flaps began to brake, and the body suddenly shook like a train that started and stopped urgently.

At this time, Guan Gonghuai leaned forward, and his right eye was aimed at the dive bombing scope, which was installed directly above the nose of the aircraft, and in front of the dashboard, although the dive at this angle only required the nose to be aimed at the target, but in order to be foolproof, Guan Gonghuai still used a telescope sight, and in the narrow angle of view, the bridge was completely set on the sight cross, and the sun flag on the bridge fluttered in the wind.

The right eye is fixed on the cross in the scope to control the flight attitude so as not to miss the target; The left eye was fixed on the altimeter, and the normal dive was to drop the bomb at 500 meters, but in order to be more accurate, the pilot with the torpedo bomber was at home, and Guan Gonghuai usually pressed the button at 400 meters. At this time, the right eye saw that the bridge, soldiers, and flags were getting clearer and clearer, and the altimeter pointer of the left eye was getting more and more to the left, and as soon as the height of 500 meters passed, the saboteur's unique alarm began to sound, prompting the pilot that the altitude was too low and had to be pulled up, Guan Gonghuai endured it for another second, and then pressed the bomb button, the fuselage suddenly shook, and the bomb under the abdomen went straight to the bridge deck.

The two planes fell straight down from an altitude of 4,000 meters, and then pulled up and leveled at about 400 meters, and accelerated away. Kojima Yoshizo was looking at the two planes in surprise, and the bridge deck 'boomed' twice, and black plumes of smoke rose into the sky, and the bridge was instantly broken into four sections.

"Good! Fucking great! There was a burst of jubilation on the position of the 302nd regiment, and the military hat was thrown high. The naval planes saved themselves at the beginning, and now they blow up the devil's last retreat, and little Japan is finished!

"Yaga, Yaga......" At this time, Kojima Yoshizo discovered the plot of the Shina army, and he was about to shout out that as long as our artillery was still there, the Shina people would not succeed, and the other four saboteurs also flew down like the former, their bombs were not aimed at the bridge, and their target was the wing artillery. After a series of explosions, black smoke rose into the sky, pack horses neighed, the twelve artillery wings that were unfolding were staggered, and the wheels of the gun carriages rolled into the Uga River.

But this is not the end, this is only the beginning. After bombing the artillery of the wing on the other side of the river, the saboteur attack planes aimed at the Japanese cavalry assembled on the south bank of the river, ready to pursue the rout. The plane flew over the cavalry's head at a height of several tens of meters, and although the saboteurs did not have the screams of Stuka, the huge roar of the engine still frightened the horses into running in all directions, and the machine guns, machine guns, and six planes chased the cavalry and opened fire, until they rushed indiscriminately towards their own machine gun positions that were scattering red smoke or crashed into the Uga River.

"He's so fucking cruel!" On a high ground on the north bank of the Wujia River, the commander of the 7th Cavalry Division, who was ambushed here, couldn't help but shudder, he was also a cavalryman, but six planes wrenched the Japanese cavalry group like this, it was really terrible.

"Division, the front commander ordered our troops to charge immediately after the bombing." The target of the 7th Cavalry Division was the remnants of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Uga River, and now the main force of the Japanese army crossed the river, and all that remained was the bombed scattered artillery and baggage units.

"Tell the front commander that our division strictly abides by the order and will charge as soon as the bombardment stops." Men Bingyue licked his chapped lips, he originally wanted to wait for the other side of the river to finish fighting before rushing, and he wanted to swallow those baggage and artillery alone, but after witnessing the naval planes abusing and killing the Japanese cavalry without any suspense, he felt that it was better not to offend Fu Zuoyi.

The attack planes raged for ten minutes, and when the bombs of more than one ton were thrown and the shells and bullets were exhausted, there were only the remnants of the Japanese positions on both sides of the Uga River with black smoke and corpses everywhere, at this time the 25th Artillery Regiment began to shell in the real sense, and the dense shells fell on the wasteland that had been marked for a long time, and began to carry out a second round of torture and killing of the Japanese troops. And the 7th Cavalry Division of Men Bingyue on the north side of the Wujia River has all been mounted on the horse, and the saber that has not dried up after cutting the blood of the Mongolian puppet army has been drawn out by the soldiers, knowing that this battle must satisfy Fu Zuoyi, Men Bingyue rode his horse and stood on the small hillside, he glanced at the 7th Cavalry Division that had long been incomplete under the hillside, and forgot all the clichés of the party-state, for the nation, and for the chairman, and the blood surged, and he only shouted out a sentence holding the saber high: "Brothers, kill devils!" Kill the devil! Kill the devil!! ”

"Kill the devil! Kill the devil! Kill the devil!! Thousands of people shouted wildly after the division commander, the horses galloped wildly, hooves roared like thunder, and the entire cavalry division rushed towards the remnants of the Japanese army on the north side of the bridge.

"Commission, Wuyuan victory!" In Yunxiu Tower, Chongqing, Zhang Zhizhong was extremely excited with a message sent by the 8th Theater of Operations, which was a real victory: "The battle annihilated 5,700 Japanese troops, completely annihilated the 1st Cavalry Brigade, killed Japanese lieutenant generals Kojima Yoshizo and Katagiri Shigeru, and captured more than 100 Japanese soldiers and Japanese policemen; killed and wounded more than 8,000 puppet Mongolian soldiers, captured more than 3,800 people, and captured ......"

"Put it down!" The killing of two Japanese lieutenant generals in the early days of Chang Kaishen's victory may be exciting, but with the full support of the navy, it is not surprising that this level has been achieved.

"Yes." Zhang Zhizhong put down the telegram, and when he went out, he saluted Chang Kaishen and Song Meiling again. After he left, Song Meiling continued the topic just now, looked at the Air Force Advisor Chennault who was sitting upright, and said, "Colonel, you can continue." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Chennault flew from Kunming on Chang Kaishen's orders, of course, this was not to ask him to form an air force, but Chang Kaishen had something to ask him. "It is indeed possible that the Navy has mastered radio-to-air electric detectors, and according to information from the Air Raid Warning Network, Japanese planes are always shot down by naval planes shortly after entering Yunnan, and without detectors they simply cannot do this."

"Colonel, how many countries currently have this weapon, is it just capable of detecting enemy aircraft in advance?" After Chang Kaishen asked, Song Meiling asked Chennault after a little tidying up, compared with domestic air force generals, as an officer of the US Army Aviation, he has a more international vision and is more well-informed.

"I've heard that the British have this kind of thing." "That's what I heard from my former colleagues when I returned home last year. The Germans also have it, and the United States. The French may have it, but the Japanese certainly don't, which is why we were able to attack Taiwan with air. This kind of detector is very important for air combat, first of all, it can detect enemy forces in advance, give yourself up to half an hour or so to prepare, with this half an hour, our destroyers can be lifted into the air in advance, and the airfield can also be prepared for air strikes. It was almost impossible for the enemy to sneak up on the airfield. If the probe can know the number and height of the enemy's troops, then we can also seize the high altitude in advance and launch a surprise attack on them, which is very important for the victory of the air battle.

Our air force has been depleted, the Soviets are no longer fighting and are not ready to bring planes, and the Japanese will definitely continue to bomb Chongqing after the fog season is over. In this case, I strongly recommend that radio-to-air probes be placed in Chongqing, and that the naval air force should also be relocated to Chongqing, where they are really needed, not Kunming. ”

As always, Chennault's proposal was straightforward, but this straightforwardness was clearly unacceptable to Chang Kaishen - he had previously ordered the military commanders to get rid of Li Kongrong in order to avoid the emergence of naval warlords after the war, which would be detrimental to the peace of the country; Similarly, Li Hansheng is likely to get rid of him in order to realize his ambition of separating Taiwan and Fujian. Brother Yong believes in him, and Chen Cheng also thinks he is credible, but 'Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time', Li Hansheng is indeed dedicated to the country now, what can he do? Once Japan surrenders, even if he personally does not want to secede Taiwan and Fujian, those Fujian officers under him will instigate him to secede Taiwan and Fujian. Whether it is to follow the Prime Minister's legacy or to focus on the future of the country, the warlords must be eliminated, and the Three People's Principles will not be realized without the elimination of the Three People's Principles.

In order to achieve this end, the means are unlimited, and morality and faith should not be an obstacle. Even if he has to bear infamy, he is open-minded, fearless, not for himself, not for selfishness, all for the well-being of 40,000,000 people and the self-improvement and self-reliance of the Chinese nation.

As for Kong Xiangxi's worries about the defeat of the naval battle, the Americans have all participated in the war, will victory be far away? What if the naval battle is lost? It's nothing more than sitting in Chongqing and waiting for the Americans to hit Tokyo. Losing a naval battle is not terrible, but winning is the real trouble. The Japanese are enemy troops, and Li Hansheng is not only his own army but also a friendly army, and the Americans will destroy the Japanese but will never destroy Li Hansheng's fleet that fights side by side with them. If the Japanese navy had not eliminated Li Hansheng, he would definitely have been unable to lose his tail and occupy the southeast after the war. At that time, there will be the Communist Party in the northwest, Li Hansheng in the southeast, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi with ill intentions in the middle......

Chang Kaishen was a little distracted, he had been thinking about how to deal with the navy under the leadership of Li Hansheng in the past few days, and what he could do at the moment was to detain thousands of Fujian naval officers and men, so that Li Hansheng would have no one on board. The Japanese Navy has never been defeated since the First Sino-Japanese War, and Li Hansheng robbed a few cruise ships and changed them into aircraft carriers to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet? Ordinary people think that this is a fantasy, but he vaguely feels that Li Hansheng's actions cannot be underestimated, this is not an ordinary person. To tell the truth, it is not a blessing for such a person to let him be wiped out by the Japanese navy, but his contempt and ridicule for the Three People's Principles have been deeply rooted in the marrow (this is not even as good as the Communist Party, which often talks about the new Three People's Principles of 'uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party, and supporting workers and peasants'). Since it cannot benefit the party-state, it should be strangled by the adversary. The outside must first be safe, and the outside is also the inside.

"Darlene ......" Speaking of radio detectors, Chang Kaishen thought of the navy and Li Hansheng again, and suddenly lost his mind, until Song Meiling held his hand and shook it, and then came back to his senses. He looked at Chennault and asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "The Navy has a proposal, they want you to build an air fleet, and then resell a batch of aircraft for their own use. I wonder, if that day I ordered you to destroy the Navy, would you carry out this order? ”

Chennault is straightforward, Chang Kaishen will no longer beat around the bush this time, he needs the Air Force, and he needs the Air Force even more in the face of the Navy. Chennault could take full charge of the air force, but he had to obey orders, especially the order to destroy the navy - the communists were behind the Soviet Union, but who was behind the navy? It was difficult to deal with the Communist Party, but it was easy to deal with the Navy.

"......" Hearing Song Meiling's translation, Chennault was very confused, the navy seemed to him to be just a little arrogant, but he still replied with the inertia of a soldier, "Sir, no matter what happens, I will strictly obey your orders." ”
