Outside Manila Bay, in the tactical command center of the Mingjiang-class battleship Huo Quai, the three giants of the Pacific Theater are gathering here at this moment. Commander Qian Sihai, Deputy Commander Chen Yi, and Chief of Staff of the Theater Xue Yue, the three of them were surrounding the tactical map in the command tower at this time.

In the center of this command center, a huge table was placed inside, and the originally small Air Force was occupied by this large table, which made it even more crowded. But no one in it dared to dislike this table. Because on the table, there is a simulated demonstration map of the terrain around Manila. Even the buildings in the city are somewhat lifelike on this tactical simulation map.

The map shows Manila Bay and the surrounding area, Manila City, the surrounding mountains, the Japanese army's defensive positions and bunkers, and even the sea water on this simulated map. The color of the land, mountains, forests and trees, the color of urban buildings and bunkers, and the white blue of the sea rolling up. This simulated map is like a high-definition 3D stereo photograph.

The most memorable thing is that only half of the three coastal mountains in the map are located, as if the gods directly split the entire mountain into two and took half of it, showing the situation of the mountain's belly intact.

The criss-crossing passages crisscrossing the inside of the mountain were revealed, as well as the exposed shooting ports. These three hollowed-out mountains can no longer be called mountains, but are powerful fortresses of war. Only crazy little Japan can do such a thing, and only those crazy little Japan can stay in this kind of mountain, endure all kinds of bad smells, and fight and defend.

Within the city of Manila. It is a different scene, the few reinforced concrete buildings in it have been further armed by the Japanese, with sandbags, fortified houses, light artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and light and heavy machine guns. The whole of Manila has become a war fortress, except for the lack of walls, it can be said to be impregnable.

These three mountains, along with the fortifications in Manila, have become a source of confidence for Masaharu Honma to hold on. This is the Japanese army requisitioned more than 100,000 Manilans, and it took more than a year to build them. It was originally intended to defend against a U.S. counterattack, but now it has become the main means of defense against China. The timid Masaharu Honma. Because of his character. It just created a very headache for the China Pacific Theater.

From time to time, the main cannon on the Huo Qu Sick roared, shaking the entire steel behemoth. However, these shocks did not affect the people in the tactical headquarters, nor did they have the slightest effect on this tactical simulation map. Because this simulated map is a whole, it is made of plastic. Then spray with the corresponding color. (Gorgeous has done this before.) But the ornate is spray-painted. ）

Mountain and street fighting. It is the main problem that currently plagues them. As for the issue of landing warfare, they are not worried.

"The fleet called, saying: After more than ten hours of attack. A variety of shells were replaced, but they still couldn't break through the opponent's mountain structure. "In the tactical command center, a communications officer with a headset sat in a chair and spoke.

The tactical command center is modeled after the command center of the Ministry of National Defense, and is not the same system as the fleet command, but directly covers all combat units in the entire Pacific theater. There are three such tactical command centers, all of which are on warships. One of them is Huo Qu's sick number, which is where Qian Sihai and them are now. The location is on the second floor under the bridge of the Huo Quai.

The entire tactical command center includes the communication and intelligence exchange of the units under the Pacific Theater, and can quickly coordinate each independent combat unit, or join multiple arms to carry out coordinated operations.

"Still no, these turtle shells are still too hard, and there is no way to blast them open for the time being." Xue Yue shook his head, looking helpless.

After being incorporated by the Southwest People's Army, this former officer of the Nanjing Department once again entered the army after two years of military academy training, and also served as a staff officer in the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense for seven or eight years, becoming a subordinate of Jiang Baili, an old acquaintance. In the formation of the theater this time, he, like many staff officers of the General Staff, was delegated to the main force as chief of staff.

As soon as he arrived in the war zone, he received the order to take the lead in the battle, which was a good opportunity for him, a good opportunity to show his strength. If you want to say who hates the Japanese the most in the national defense force system, then he Xue Yue can definitely be ranked in the forefront. Therefore, this is not only an opportunity, but also a battle that he is looking forward to.

It's just that the real battle hasn't started yet, and this simulated map sent from the War Department of the Chinese Empire really makes him depressed. It was the first time he had seen someone hollow out the entire mountain and turn it into a defensive fortress in reality, and he had seen this kind of thing once in the textbook of the Chinese Military Academy. Only the crazy little Japan, with their sense of distress, can really do such a thing.

"This kind of thing is too depleting to attack the troops, even the naval artillery can't be directly destroyed, and I can't think of anything for a while to raze these three mountains before the general attack." Chen Yi also shook his head, like Xue Yue, he was a little helpless.

In fact, in the face of more than ten hours of attack by naval artillery, these mountain fortifications were not lost at all. At least the shore defense guns built on the mountainside have been destroyed, and the exposed guns have been blown up and buried. But for the fortifications of the entire mountain structure, there is really no way.

"Originally, I wanted to find Wang Yunshan's kid to give some support, but today's missiles can't strike very accurately, unless there is wireless guidance. And he also said that even if there is wireless guidance, with the power of the current Imperial missile, it will not be able to penetrate the mountain structure at once and destroy the 'rat path' inside. ”

When Qian Sihai saw this simulated map, he had already gone to look for Wang Yunshan, but the result was still very unsatisfactory. To completely destroy these three mountains will have to pay a great price. After all, the value of each missile is not cheap, and if you use a large number of missiles, you can destroy these three mountains, but the result will only outweigh the losses.

"At present, the vegetation on the mountain should have been completely destroyed, and it is estimated that the little Japan inside is not comfortable. The most optimistic estimate is that at least half of the tunnels inside will collapse, and our shelling will definitely not be useless. Xue Yue thought for a while and said.

The sturdiness of the tunnel structures inside these three mountains was unknown to them, but it was absolutely impossible for these little Japan to build tunnels made entirely of reinforced concrete inside, because that would be unrealistic.

In Xue Yue's opinion, even if the naval artillery could not directly penetrate the mountain, it would be a continuous bombardment, which would have a great impact on the tunnels inside. In particular, the violent vibration of the shell explosion will definitely damage the stability and structure of the tunnel inside.

"This is reasonable, but the tunnels inside extend in all directions, and even if there is a loss, it is estimated that it will not be very large." Chen Yi hesitated for a moment when he said this, and then said: "At present, there are only ten hours left before the planned general attack time, and we must destroy these three mountains as much as possible before the landing battle begins in the early morning."

In fact, in the training syllabus of our jungle army, we often practice attack tactics against super-strong fortifications. ”

"Lao Chen, then what tricks do you have?" Qian Sihai asked.

"I don't have the confidence to destroy this structure and launch a defensive offensive. But in the next hour, there is still a way to destroy the general structure of these three mountains as much as possible. After Chen Yi saw that Qian Sihai and Xue Yue's eyes were staring at him, he did not hesitate and said, "In my lair, I have hidden some treasures. It was a super bomb of more than two tons, loaded with the latest penetrating warhead. I guess if I use this thing, it's no worse than a missile. The price-performance ratio is also much cheaper than missiles. ”

"There is no shortage of this kind of thing, the Air Force!" Xue Yue thought that Chen Yi was going to say something good, but it turned out to be just a bomb.

"No, it's completely different, the lightest weight of this kind of bomb is more than two tons, and there is no shortage of two-ton bombs in the Air Force, but close to three tons of bombs, this thing is also rare in the Air Force."

"Then be cautious, let's do it!" Qian Sihai clapped his head.

"Okay, I'll immediately order the Borneo Air Base to start preparing." Chen Yi nodded, and immediately ordered the communications officer of the tactical command center: "Immediately send a telegram to the 23rd Bomber Squadron in Borneo, and order the Giant Spirit God Squadron to load all the 'earthquakes' and bomb the target XXXXXX." ”

After the Tran Yi order was transmitted to Borneo, in the jungle area of the center of Borneo, a sprawling airport was located here. This is the base camp of the Jungle Army Air Force, which has the air power to counterbalance the surrounding area. In particular, it has a medium and long-range air strike force, all equipped with Djinn bombers. Although this bomber is not as strong as the Globemaster, in the world, only the United States' "Super Flying Fortress" can compare with it, and it belongs to the world's top bombers.

It was dark all around, but inside the airport, it was all lit up. Trailers pulled out a huge bomb from the underground warehouse, which was slightly thin and slender unlike other bombs.

On the runway, the Djinn bombers were neatly placed together, and at this moment, the four bomb bay doors under their bellies were completely open. The huge bombs were transported by trailer to the door of the magazine under the belly of the aircraft, and one of the magazines was just loaded with one of these bombs.

Lift the machine by manual pulley, carefully raise the bomb smoothly until the bomb is completely into the magazine. A large pylon on the top of the magazine was slowly lowered, and under the operation of the staff, the bomb was gently hung in the magazine. (To be continued.) )
