Chapter 166: God is God

After Zhong Limin arrived at Xishan, Li Jinshan personally greeted him at Zhenjiang Port, and immediately sent people to overhaul the ship and arrange for personnel to rest and recuperate. It turned out that in the Battle of Changde, Zhong Limin gave a lot of kills and injuries to the devils, although there was nothing captured, but the first party felt that Zhong Limin had regained face for ** and lifted the morale of the army, Chief Sun Lianzhong reported to the Military Commission, and the Military Commission commended the whole army for the Yangtze River Transport Team of the Southern Jiangsu Garrison Command of the Third Theater, and awarded the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery, with a reward of 50,000 yuan. Zhong Limin is stupid, what does the Yangtze River Transport Team of the Southern Jiangsu Garrison Command of the Third Theater have to do with him? Rewarding some banknotes is a fart use, and it is better to give more fuel and ammunition!

In fact, Li Jinshan's enthusiasm for Zhong Limin was not out of the original intention of the government, but because he was praised as the "Dragon King of the Yangtze River" by the military and civilians along the Yangtze River after this mission.

By the time Zhong Limin came and went, the production of flying thunder had recovered a lot, and the United States had brought in a large number of materials, and had already produced a batch of unloaded Buddha light flying thunder, Tianyu flying thunder, and meteor flying thunder. Three US fighter planes from Xishan Airfield carried out an experimental bombing of the Nanjing Daxiaochang airfield, and the results were good. However, Chennault's two bombers left in Xishan have flown back to the flight base, which is the two that airdropped ammunition to Zhong Limin, and Chennault is unwilling to risk flying back to Xishan Airport, so a batch of Foguang 4 flying mines and Tianyu 4 flying mines will be smashed in his hands, which are materials that Tuesday Dog is eager to earn back gold from the Americans, and the backlog has caused great losses to Wu Mujun.

When Zhong Limin heard the news, he immediately asked Li Jinshan and Zhao Dahu for his life, and asked to go to the Sixth War Zone again, Li Jinshan stayed in the headquarters for a long time, and there were too few opportunities to rush to the battlefield, and later he was promoted to the head of the mobile corps, and his position was too high, and it was difficult to get the opportunity to go to the front line in person, so when he reported to Zhao Dahu, he expanded the scale of transportation, and then asked to personally escort this batch of materials on the grounds of heavy responsibility.

Zhao Dahu received Li Jinshan's report, discussed it with Tuesday Dog, Xiang Qingyun, Zeng Qi, Wang Yilang and others, and actually approved Li Jinshan's report.

Because Zhong Limin brought back 5 river boats this time and plundered more than a dozen, Xiang Qingyun decided to transport a large number of materials to the Sixth and Ninth War Zones together, and by the way, open up base areas around the Yangtze River waterway, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake.

500 Foguang 4 4-mounted flying mine launchers, 500 Foguang 4-type 8-mounted flying mine launchers, and 60,000 Foguang flying mines were loaded onto river boats, and 6 ships were loaded; In addition, there are 100 Tianyu 4 type 4 and 8 flying thunder launchers, and 12,000 Tianyu flying thunders are also loaded with 1 ship, in addition to a large number of meteor flying mines, javelin flying mines, gun grenades, green ointment, heavy artillery, infantry guns, mortars, shells, and first-aid kits add up to 20 ships, Li Jinshan looked at the list of materials loaded on the ship and broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Jinshan is under a lot of pressure, so he will definitely let Zhong Limin share it, and he also dragged Duanmu Changyan. He ordered Zhong Limin to renovate three fast gunboats with eight combined Foguang-3 flying mine launchers, and the other 12 fast gunboats also replenished ammunition with Tianyu flying mines, and 30 motorized speedboats to replenish ammunition with meteor flying mines to inspect the ship's equipment.

Li Jinshan was still not sure, and studied to hang the flag of Wu Mujun on the fleet, but unfortunately Wu Mujun did not have its own military flag, and they were all ** military flags, so Li Jinshan didn't care about Shi Jilun's **, and the fleet played the symbol flag of Wu Mu caravan - Wuye Flag.

There was information from the intelligence network in Nanjing, the devil did not move, and the fleet set off in a mighty way!

The devils in Nanjing watched Wu Mujun's fleet swagger through without saying anything. The Devil's River Defense Force saw the Wu Mu Army's larger-caliber flying thunder, and only hoped that Wu Mu Army would not provoke, lest they have to return fire and find more ferocious retaliation, so they did not dare to provoke Wu Mu Army's fleet at all.

Li Jinshan and Zhong Limin did not dare to take it lightly, and pressed the formation at the beginning and end of the fleet respectively, and passed Nanjing in fear. They are not afraid of bloodshed in battle, but the materials of the Wumu army must not be lost, this is the hard work of many brothers in Xishan.

This time the fleet has experience, so it no longer sleeps overnight, but travels at night, and from time to time there are fast gunboats and motorized speedboats left by Zhong Limin in the local area to escort them, and the devils are silent, Li Jinshan faintly feels that something is wrong, but the fleet is going against the current and is fully loaded, so it can't be fast at all.

Sure enough, when we reached the vicinity of Wangjiang, information came from the front that the Wuhan and Nanchang devil planes took off and flew eastward. Li Jinshan ordered the fleet to start the booster engine and accelerate its advance in the direction of Daguan Lake and Bohu Lake in Susong, while all ships made preparations for air defense and combat.

The ships in front reported the discovery of mines, and Li Jinshan immediately understood that the devils wanted to completely annihilate or severely damage this fleet, and immediately ordered Zhong Limin to take emergency measures.

Zhong Limin had already made preparations, and the receiving troops in Daguan Lake immediately attacked, using motorized speedboats to tow counterweight gasoline drums back and forth on the river to detonate mines, clear the waterway, and cover the fleet's sailing into the Bohu Lake and Daguan Lake to hide.

The information then came, and the devil plane in Jiujiang also took off and flew east along the river.

After a while, dozens of devil planes flew over Susong and continued to search, and also strafed and dived around to conduct fire reconnaissance.

Li Jinshan and Zhong Limin respectively commanded the convoy's transport ships to conceal themselves, and the fast gunboats and motorized speedboats were preparing to carry out air defense counterattacks.

Zhong Limin commanded a part of the fleet to move to Bohu, and the river route was long, and it was discovered by devils.

Zhong Limin immediately commanded antiaircraft machine guns and antiaircraft guns to carry out fire interception, which caused the devil planes to swarm in, dive, strafe, and bomb all over the world.

Zhong Limin immediately ordered the launch of the flying thunder! For a time, meteor thunder and rain thunder rose into the sky, emitting a large number of thin iron sheets at different heights in the sky.

The high-speed flying plane collided with the dense thin iron sheet, and it was dismembered in an instant, and the devil plane lost more than a dozen planes in a wave of attack. The downed plane blew up a canopy of fire on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

The commander of the devil's air force was very knowledgeable, and urgently ordered all the planes to pull up, and then returned, refusing to carry out any more senseless attacks. The Wu Mu Army, **, guerrillas, and ordinary people on the ground are wantonly searching for devils' pilots, equipment, and aircraft parts, which are all good things, and nothing can be wasted.

Li Jinshan's fleet attracted devil planes due to Zhong Limin's early exposure, and there were no losses, but Zhong Limin partially lost 3 fast gunboats, 5 motorized speedboats, and injured 1 transport ship.

Li Jinshan judged that the devil was going to resolutely block the Yangtze River waterway! So he used a high-power walkie-talkie to notify Lu Yaohan and Zhang Tielong along the Yangtze River to quickly send powerful troops to assemble on the front line of Susong to protect the materials; At the same time, a clear telegram was issued, stating that the Wumu Army Sailor Brigade would destroy the devil's strongholds along the Yangtze River, and hoped that all units would actively participate in recovering the lost territory; A company of the special operations battalion was also dispatched to various small guerrilla units to deliver news.

The devil also did not stop doing anything, mobilized multiple infantry, heavy artillery, and aircraft to sweep the front line of Susong again, completely destroying this fierce fleet, extinguishing the morale of the ** people, and boosting the spirit of his troops.

Li Jinshan and Zhong Limin also made a ruthless move, assembling and concealing the transport ships at Daguan Lake, leaving 6 motorized speedboats to protect them, and then concentrating all 14 fast gunboats and 25 motorized speedboats into the Yangtze River.

Zhong Limin commanded 6 fast gunboats and 12 motorized speedboats to go straight to Madang Fortress.

Madang Fortress was designed by German consultants before the Anti-Japanese War, and it was used to resist the Kou during the Battle of Wuhan, but unfortunately fell in the end, and now there is a reinforced brigade of devils stationed, equipped with 4 150mm field howitzers and 12 105mm field guns, and 48 75mm mountain field guns, blocking the Yangtze River waterway, and at this time it is just blocking the way of Li Jinshan's transport team. The last time the sailor brigade passed quickly because of going down the river, and did not dare to provoke the horse as a fortress, the devil did not react and did not hurt the sailor brigade, this time Li Jinshan wanted to use the horse as a fortress to open the knife and sacrifice the flag!

Zhong Limin commanded the sailor brigade to advance towards Madang Fortress, and the devils of Madang Fortress also intercepted it with artillery group. However, the rapid movement of the fast gunboats and motorized speedboats greatly missed the devil's artillery fire, and Wu Mujun's ships were only blown up on the river, but they still struggled to move forward.

Zhong Limin ordered three Foguang Flying Thunders to fire at the same time, and the dense and fierce bombardment put the devils under great pressure and caused some casualties. The dynamic bombardment accuracy of the Wu Mu army was extremely low, but it was dense enough that it still posed a great threat to the devils, and the intensity of the artillery bombardment was reduced.

Seeing that the range of the devil's heavy artillery did not exceed 10 kilometers, Zhong Limin hurriedly ordered the fast gunboat loaded with Foguang Flying Thunder to return to the north bank of the Yangtze River to carry out fixed shooting to improve accuracy. Wu Mujun's Foguang Flying Thunder explosion power is far inferior to the devil's 150mm shell, only equivalent to the devil's 105mm shell, but the victory lies in the high rate of fire and high density, at this time the artillery is equivalent to 24:16 The ratio of fire rate is equivalent to 24:16, and the power ratio is equivalent to 24:24, but the devil's battery is a fixed target and can only wait to be beaten, while Wu Mujun can move and avoid the devil's artillery fire.

Zhong Limin adjusted his tactics this time, transferred the three Foguang Flying Thunder gunboats to the range of the devil's heavy artillery, and carried out unilateral shelling of the devil with a porcelain jar warhead with a longer range.

After more than a dozen rounds of bombardment, Zhong Limin consumed 300 rounds of Buddha light flying thunder, suppressed the devils in the fortifications and did not dare to come out, and the artillery position was blown into a mess.

Zhong Limin ordered the rain and thunder on the fast gunboat and the meteor thunder on the motorized speedboat to carry out close artillery bombardment, and use high-explosive warheads to destroy the permanent fortifications of the devils.

The devils relied on the strong fortifications to resist stubbornly, and the special operations battalion had no choice but to rush forward and use javelin flying mines to carry out targeted killings.

Zhang Tielong personally led more than 2,000 people from 2 guerrilla brigades to Madang, and many ** guerrillas and local armed forces also rushed to Madang, some of them attacked Madang Fortress, some blocked the devil's reinforcements, and some directly attacked the devil's stronghold.

And Zhong Limin still had the heart to draw out most of the combat ships, search for the strongholds of the devils along the banks of the Yangtze River, open fire when he met the enemy, and then leave after a random bombardment with his head and face.

The devil's stronghold destroyed by Zhong Limin was shattered, and the remnants of the defeated army were very easy to clean up, so the nearby squadron rushed to beat the water dogs to pick up the ready-made cheap, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion even spread rumors, saying that the south bank of the Yangtze River was full of guns and ammunition dropped by devils, which attracted more ** troops to rush to the front line of Pengze, so that the devil garrison on the east side of Poyang Lake was tired of dealing with the chaos in all aspects.

Isamu Yokoyama, the commander of the 11th Army, who was good at fighting, was once again reprimanded by Shunroku Hatata. Li Jinshan took advantage of the chaos to command the fleet to sail towards the mouth of the lake.

Zhong Limin was red-eyed, commanded the forward sailor commando to expel the devil defenders at the mouth of the lake by means of indiscriminate bombing, and ordered one company of the special operations battalion to hold the mouth of the lake and cover Li Jinshan's transport fleet sailing into Poyang Lake.

There are also many light warships and gunboats of devils in Poyang Lake, but the thunder bombardment of the Wu Mu Army is too intensive, and the Tianyu II type of flying thunder is about to sink, so the devil ships are afraid of the ships of the Wu Mu Army, and Li Jinshan led the fleet to sweep all the way to Poyang Lake into the Fu River, and sail against the current into the junction of the Third War Zone and the Ninth War Zone.

Li Jinshan and Zhong Limin were also sleepy and lacking, so Jing Yukun took the borrowed Luqing Yang Department to transfer the materials. Chennault received the four types of Buddha light, heavenly rain, and meteor flying thunder in Hengyang, and the mechanical type sent by Wu Mujun was responsible for installing and modifying it on the plane.

Chennault's flying team conducted a small test of 12 light bombers equipped with four Meteor Flying Mines and four light bombers equipped with four Rainy Flying Mines to conduct a combat test at Nanchang Airport.

When Chennault's fighter approached Nanchang, the Devil fighter immediately took off to intercept it. Unexpectedly, Chennault's fighter avoided the devil fighter plane, first fired a meteor laser at Nanchang Airport, and then turned around to fight with the plane, while Chennault's bomber fired a rain and thunder from a distance, and then turned around and returned to the plane, not entering the combat area at all.

48 meteor thunderbolts and 16 rain thunderbolts lightly damaged Nanchang Airport, but they did not lose anything. As a result, the second batch of 12 fighters modified with four units of Tianyu Flying Thunder, and eight of the four bombers equipped with Tianyu Flying Thunder took off the next day to begin the second round of actual combat testing.

This time, the creative US pilots used fighter jets to launch the Tianyu-1 air defense mine, and surrounded the planes that took off and intercepted them with dense sheets of iron, and one after another devil planes fell to the ground in the form of parts. However, the bombers still dropped 8 rounds of rain and thunder outside the normal combat area.

After the test was correct, Chennault dared to modify the large flying mines, so the four medium-sized bombers were equipped with four sets of Foguang flying mines, and the four heavy bombers were equipped with eight sets of Buddha light flying mines, and then flew to Nanchang Airport again under the escort of 12 fighters loaded with four sets of Tianyu flying mines.

In view of the fact that US planes can bomb from a long distance, they urgently expanded their air defense positions outward, but the air defense fire network has become much more sparse; Li Jinshan, who was born as a bandit, had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, and took advantage of the devil's transfer of antiaircraft artillery positions to take the special operations battalion to rob 20 antiaircraft guns and more than 60 antiaircraft machine guns, thus turning the devil's air defense firepower network from sparse to thin.

Nanchang Airport has been ravaged twice by US military planes, and has become unrecognizable, and can only be used reluctantly, so the US military planes have reservations this time, one fighter jet launched four heavenly rain flying mines, which exploded in the middle of the four fighters that the devil had just taken off, and the four devil planes fell to the ground in unison, and the other two launched eight heavenly rain flying thunders over the runway of Nanchang Airport, blocking the runway of the devil's plane.

Faced with the Nanchang Airport, which had lost air supremacy, the US pilots were embarrassed to waste flying mines, so they used the aerial bombs they carried to carry out precise low-altitude bombing, destroying the tower, planes, runways, hangars, and oil depots of Nanchang Airport one by one, and then turned to Jiujiang Airport to continue to complete the actual combat test mission.

Jiujiang is the rear of Wuhan and Nanchang, so the airport is more complete than Nanchang Airport, and the number of aircraft and the scale of the airport are much larger than Nanchang Airport. However, the devil officer did not expect the Nanchang airport to be so vulnerable, and in the blink of an eye, the US military plane arrived in Jiujiang and hurriedly commanded the fighters to take off to intercept it.

The US planes repeated their old tricks, with the fighter planes building a thin iron barrier for the devil planes from afar with rain air defense mines, and the bombers firing all the Buddha's light and flying thunders from afar.

More than 40 Buddha-light thunderbolts exploded at Jiujiang Airport, blowing up dozens of craters with a diameter of more than 10 meters, and dozens of planes were spared, and the tower and runway were full of holes and miserable eyes.

When the devil planes from Wuhan arrived, the US planes had already "fled" without bullets, and could only overlook the corpses, wounded, plane parts, and collapsed buildings all over Jiujiang Airport...... The tragic situation is even worse than the situation when they harmed the ** people in the first place!

Chennault tasted the sweetness and immediately reported to the US political axe, showing off his achievements, recommending new equipment and new tactics to the US side on the other hand, and most importantly, asking for money from the US political axe. He used a total of 48 Meteor Flying Thunder, 144 Heavenly Rain Flying Thunder, and 48 Buddha Light Flying Thunder.

According to Tuesday Dog's statement: if Chennault's trial is not successful, the equipment and ammunition will not be taken, and if it is successful, Chennault will pay the bill according to the quotation.

Foguang 4 Flying Thunder Launcher: 4 units of 50 ounces of gold/frame, 8 units of 90 ounces of gold/frame; Foguang 4 Flying Thunder: 5 oz gold/round;

Tianyu 4 Flying Thunder Launcher: 4 units of 25 ounces of gold/plane, 8 units of 45 ounces of gold/plane; Foguang 4 Flying Thunder: 3 oz gold/round;

Meteor IV Thunder Launcher: 4 units of 17 ounces of gold, 8 units of 29 ounces of gold; Meteor IV Flying Thunder: 2 ounces of gold per round.

Now, Chennault has owe 2,212 ounces of gold to Tuesday Dog for the U.S. political axe, nuclear $77,420; But Chennault felt it was worth it and highly recommended it to the American political axe.

At this time, although the United States was on the offensive in the Pacific, the air force planes were hit by the anti-aircraft artillery of the Chinese army during the bombing of the island, and suffered heavy losses, and this weapon that could drop bombs from a long distance was urgently needed, so President Roosevelt agreed to Chennault's proposal after a brief discussion with various departments.

So the first batch of Wu Mujun's self-produced weapons and equipment were sold to the United States, a major arms country that started with arms, and exchanged 420,000 ounces of gold for Wu Mujun!

However, the payment method of the United States made Tuesday Dog very dissatisfied, and the United States proposed to offset the aid materials provided to the national government!

On Tuesday, Gou called the U.S. Congress, stating that the deal was not within the scope of the deal between the U.S. government and the U.S., and that Wu Mujun's dealings with the U.S. side had always been traded in gold and had never been on credit, so the U.S. side had to pay in gold.

The American political axe quickly found out that Tuesday Dog had indeed been buying American supplies with gold, so he readily agreed to Tuesday Dog's conditions.

The US envoy personally handed over 420,000 ounces of Swiss bank gold cashier's notes to Tuesday Dog, and then, after inspection, purchased another 300,000 rounds of Foguang Flying Thunder, 1 million rounds of Tianyu Flying Thunder, and 2,000 Tianyu Flying Thunder Type 4 launchers (4 and 8 units each), and the US side provided aluminum alloy, high explosives, and 3 million ounces of gold.

The chairman of the committee had a headache: the limited capacity of the Hump route was used by the Americans to transport explosives and aluminum alloys to Wu Mujun, and even less international aid was received.

Jing Yukun is now the most time-rich person in Wu Mujun, except for dealing with some current accounts and sending and receiving some goods, he basically has nothing to do, so he goes to the ** senior generals to rub food everywhere, and the ** senior generals can't ask for it, because Jing Yukun has a lot of scarce materials and weapons and equipment in his hands. Jing Yukun learned about the chairman's troubles from small talk, so he wrote a letter to the chairman, and was soon summoned by the chairman.

Jing Yukun suggested that the chairman of the NPC National Committee communicate with Wu Mujun and put pressure on the US political axe, so that the US political axe could fly the plane to China for modification, and then fly directly to the Pacific theater, so that the US bombers could carry more supplies.

The chairman of the committee accepted this proposal and ordered Chennault to use newly equipped aircraft to strike at the first-line devil airfields in Wuhan, Jiujiang, Wuhu, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, and clear the air passage for the Allied forces!

Because the Pacific Theater contained most of the devil's troops, the devil's planes in Chinese mainland were already very few, and many of them were knocked out by Chennault's newly equipped sharp weapons, so the devil's top brass lost confidence in Chinese mainland's air supremacy, and China's air force is limited, so there is no need to fight for life and death. Therefore, after Chennault once again led a group of planes to the skies over the occupied area and ravaged the Wuhan airfield of the devils, the devils understood Chennault's intentions and withdrew most of the planes in East China to Taiwan or the mainland, and only kept a few fighters in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou to symbolically resist and harass the Chinese Air Force.

Soon, a large number of bombers and fighter groups of the Allied forces flew over the Hump route, in addition to striking at the Burmese devils by the way, bringing a large number of supplies to **. These planes unloaded supplies in Kunming, Guiyang, Yucheng, Chengdu, and other places, and then Wu Mujun's technicians modified the planes to replenish the supply ammunition and receive tactical guidance from Chennault's department; some of them flew directly to the Xishan airfield, unloaded high-explosive charges, aluminum alloys, and other materials in the West Mountain, and received equipment modification, supplementary supplies, and tactical guidance in the West Mountain, and then carried out actual combat tests at the Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Quzhou, Jinhua, and other airports, and after replenishing the supply of ammunition, they returned to the European battlefield by the same route with a batch of new equipment.

Due to Jing Yukun, Tuesday Dog and others, the chairman finally saw that the materials shipped from the United States had increased, and his antipathy towards Wu Mujun, Tuesday Dog and others was reduced a little. (To be continued.) )
