Article 332: Strategic Purpose
After receiving Hasegawa Kiyoshi's urgent telegram, the base camp held a cabinet meeting that night, and after discussion, the cabinet members headed by Konoe Fumima agreed with Hasegawa Kiyoshi's concerns and agreed to send more navies, especially aircraft carrier battle formations, to the direction of Qingdao in order to increase the number and superiority of the Imperial Army's fighters in the Battle of Qingdao.
In order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Qingdao.
In the early morning of the following morning, the four aircraft carriers of the Navy's Combined Fleet and dozens of destroyers and cruisers anchored in Tokyo Bay left Tokyo Bay and headed for China's territorial waters.
At the same time, in a dense forest on the Jiaozhou front, hundreds of soldiers of the special operations battalion surrounded the dense forest and set it on guard.
In the dense forest, Qiao Anbang, accompanied by Liang Yilu and Yali, was quietly waiting for something.
It turned out that just this afternoon, Yali suddenly came with a good news that made Yi Zhenhua excited, that is, the development function of the aircraft has been repaired, and a number of new weapons and equipment have been quickly developed according to the existing weapons and equipment information, and in terms of infantry weapons, the aircraft has been able to produce MP44 assault rifles that are more advanced than Garand semi-automatic rifles, that is, STG44 assault rifles.
This gun can be said to be the predecessor of the famous AK47, and his appearance, whether it is a semi-automatic rifle Garand, or submachine guns of various countries is not enough to match it.
At a range of 500 meters, it can maintain the sustained fire capability of light machine guns and submachine guns, as well as accurate fire from manual and semi-automatic rifles, and at the same time, due to the use of short cartridge intermediate power bullets, it is far more accurate than submachine guns in continuous fire.
Although the STG44 assault rifle uses a short cartridge intermediate power bullet, the caliber of the bullet is the same as the Mauser bullet, which is still 7.92mm, and is equipped with a 30-round arc magazine, which can fire both single shots and bursts.
With this epoch-making assault rifle, how could Joan Bang not be happy? Once the troops are fully equipped with this epoch-making advanced assault rifle, which should have come out in four years, the individual combat effectiveness of the ground forces will be instantly raised to a notch.
In particular, he plans to take away the 800 elite soldiers who have landed in his own territory this time, and with these fully automatic assault rifles, the combat effectiveness of the airborne troops will also be greatly enhanced, which will be more conducive to fighting behind enemy lines.
At the same time, the aircraft also developed the American Bazooka rocket launcher, the American F6F carrier-based fighter, and the Zero fighter of the Chinese army.
As for the F6F carrier-based fighter, the Tiger Army has not yet built a navy, and it will not be used for a while, and the Zero fighter is not much superior to the BF109 fighter in service with the Tiger Army, so there is no need to replace it for the time being.
Qiao Anbang's goal is to equip the Air Force with an extremely superior P-51B fighter and a more advanced jet fighter, but because the aircraft has just been restored to its research and development function, many epoch-making advanced weapons and equipment are still under development, so it cannot be equipped for the time being.
However, the Bazooka rocket launcher is urgently needed by the Tiger Army at this time, especially the main force of the frontal attack, with Bazooka, for the army's pillboxes, machine gun bunkers and other firepower points, the grassroots troops of the Tiger Army can easily destroy it.
Therefore, Qiao Anbang asked Yali to urgently produce 1,000 STG44 assault rifles and supporting ammunition overnight, and at the same time mass produce Bazooka rocket launchers to equip the troops as soon as possible.
When he saw the production of brand-new STG assault rifles, Qiao Anbang became very excited, and immediately stepped forward to pick up an assault rifle, looked left and right, and opened the safety to shoot at a poplar tree not far away.
......A crisp and deafening sound of gunfire rang out, and the poplar tree dozens of meters away was hit by more than ten bullets in a row, and the surface of the bark was suddenly beaten beyond recognition, and sawdust was splashed.
Qiao Anbang, who had been mentally prepared for the excellent surname of the STG44 assault rifle, nodded with satisfaction, but Liang Yibang on the side was dumbfounded, and stepped forward and looked at the assault rifle in Qiao Anbang's hand with a shocked face: "General seat, is this still a submachine gun?" Shooting accuracy turned out to be so high? ”
"To be precise, it is a fully automatic assault rifle, which is more advanced than the Garand semi-automatic rifle and MP38 submachine gun commonly equipped by our army, and the surname can be much better than them!" Jo Anbang did not tell Liang that in the Soviet-German battle in World War II, the STG44 assault rifle completely suppressed the ** Sand submachine gun and Mosinagan rifle that the Soviets were proud of in actual combat.
"Can I try it?" Liang Yilu looked at the gun in Qiao Anbang's hand earnestly and asked.
"Of course!" Qiao Anbang handed him the gun as he spoke, Liang Yilu took the gun, studied it first, and then raised the gun and aimed at the scarred poplar tree that was beaten by Qiao Anbang.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his excitement, Liang Yilu decisively pulled the trigger, Liang Yiyu, who was already familiar with the submachine gun and semi-automatic rifle, originally thought that the assault rifle in his hand would have a lot of recoil, so he made sufficient psychological preparations when shooting.
But when most of the bullets were fired, he was surprised to find that the recoil of this fully automatic assault rifle in his hand was much smaller than that of the submachine gun used in the past, and the benefit of recoil was the improvement of accuracy.
In addition to the excitement, Liang Yilu continued to pull the trigger, and shot again and again, pouring out all the remaining bullets in the magazine, while the poor poplar tree was broken by the waist, because it could not withstand the huge pressure of the treetops, it broke with a click.
Ignoring the broken poplar, Liang Yilu was ecstatic and said to Qiao Anbang: "Boss, such a good assault rifle, please take the lead in equipping the special operations battalion, once this weapon is replaced, the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion can be improved by several grades in an instant." ”
Qiao Anbang smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, this weapon was produced overnight for your special operations battalion, of course, you were the first to equip it!" ”
"Really!" Liang Yilu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"But, with the new weapons, your special operations battalion needs to go on an extremely difficult mission with me, and this combat mission is far more dangerous than any previous battle you have participated in! You have to be mentally prepared! Qiao Anbang's face became a little solemn.
Feeling the solemnity in Qiao Anbang's words, Liang Yilu put away his smile, immediately stood up and saluted, and said solemnly to Qiao Anbang: "Please rest assured, follow you, even if it is a sea of swords and fire, and all the soldiers of the special operations battalion will never frown!" ”
"Good! Let's go and assemble the troops, and after receiving the new equipment, the whole battalion will gather at the headquarters! Qiao Anbang stepped forward and patted Liang Yiyu on the shoulder, and after speaking, he turned around and walked out of the woods.
Looking at Qiao Anbang's somewhat lonely back, Yali on the side had a trace of ripples in her big beautiful eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was full of melancholy.
…………………… Returning from the jungle, Jo Anbang returned to the bedroom in the headquarters, sat on the edge of the bed and began to write a suicide note.
Thinking about it, in addition to the eldest brother, the only relative, the only thing left to worry about is Chu Yan, Yali and Liang Jiahan, who is happy with him but has never shown his heart.
"Big brother, my brother led the army deep into the rear of Yue Kou this time, it is extremely dangerous, if you unfortunately die......" Qiao Anbang had just written a few sentences, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.
When Qiao Anbang stopped writing and got up before he could walk out, the eldest brother Qiao Anguo had already hurriedly strode in, and when he saw Qiao Anbang open his mouth, he reproached: "Third brother, you are too impulsive!" Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this? Father and An Jia are no longer there, and my brother is left with a relative like you, if you have another three long and two short, what should you do if you let me be a brother? ”
"Big brother, you forgot, we have flying machines, if I really encounter danger that I can't get rid of, I can also get out of it!" For his eldest brother, Qiao Anbang has nothing to hide, and Qiao Anguo also accepted the matter of the flying machine in shock.
Of course, Joan Bang would not tell him that the aircraft came from time travel, only that it was an advanced aircraft.
"That's not good, going deep into the territory of Yukou, this is simply a joke with your own life, and the danger is beyond words to describe! You can't go! "Qiao Anbang is determined not to let Qiao Anbang put himself in danger.
"Big brother, rest assured, the attack on the island must be done, otherwise once the navy of the city increases on a large scale, and our army in Qingdao will form a stalemate, the battle in Qingdao will drag on for a long time, and it will be extremely unfavorable to our army, you must know that this battle of Qingdao is different from the previous inland battles, the two sides are purely land and air forces to decide the victory, in this battle, the real factor that determines the victory or defeat is the powerful navy and air force of the army.
Our army has no navy and is unable to balance the combined naval fleet of the Japanese army, so we can only find another way and take risks to attack the Japanese mainland, causing panic in our own country, forcing the combined fleet of the Japanese army and navy not to dare to go all out into the Chinese battlefield; at the same time, we should destroy the war potential of the Japanese army as much as possible, we must know that the Japanese are a modern military power that has completed the industrial revolution, their industrial base and military technology have been formed and are fully equipped, and their war recovery ability is very strong.
Even if we defeat all the Yue armies in Chinese mainland, because we have no navy, we will not be able to completely defeat Yuben, and in the time required for our army to build a navy, Yuben can rely on their strong industrial base and military technology to quickly restore their war potential.
At that time, the contest between us and the Chinese army will return to the original point, and the war of annihilation will again be a protracted war of attrition, and such a war situation will be extremely unfavorable to the rapid rise of the Chinese nation.
Therefore, whether it is for the immediate battle of Qingdao or for the long-term planning in the future, we must carry out an attack on the homeland of Yueben, and we must also carry out long-term continuous attacks, with only one purpose, to destroy its war potential, and at the same time let the arrogant Yue himself know that their most assured rear, their country's homeland, is no longer absolutely safe, and our [***] team can attack it at any time. ”
