Chapter 180: Naval Plan
Night is approaching, Jinxi Airport, which has been busy, a large part of the personnel are making preparations before today's last takeoff, and the Air Force, which has been busy all day, has just returned to the airport until 20 minutes ago, and the continuous high-intensity combat has greatly improved the ability of the Air Force pilots.
But unfortunately, today, because of a Stuka dive bomber for operations, due to the pilot's carelessness, the fighter dive angle directly pulled to 90 degrees, and the result is that everyone has understood that the Stuka equipped with the 99th Army is simply not able to complete a 90-degree large-angle dive, even to 80 degrees, the pilot needs to enter an extremely nervous state, and at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above the ground, he has to complete the bomb throwing and pull the fighter up, and so on.
Su Dao only vaguely remembered that he wanted a performance team of the German army in World War II, because he performed a 90-degree vertical dive, and the thirteen Stuka who participated in the performance failed to pull up the fighters, which eventually led to the death of 26 excellent pilots, as for parachuting, don't think about it at all, people with a little common sense know that the speed of high-speed dive fighters is much faster than that of direct flight fighters, and it is impossible to complete the parachute jump safely.
The air force of the Kwantung Army had long since disappeared, and the Kwantung Army airfield in Jinzhou was also empty, and apart from some ground guard units, no other fighters or people were found in it, and in a fit of anger, the air force directly bombed the airfield in Jinzhou. And the loss of the Stuka made the entire airport silent.
And after Su Dao learned of this situation, he couldn't help but think about it secretly, now his strength is not too strong, and he doesn't dare to take out a lot of powerful equipment in his hands directly, the husband is not guilty, and the reason why he is guilty Su Dao is still very clear, so when Su Dao exchanged those fighters, even if he knew that they had such and such defects, he could only exchange those fighters as if he was fatal.
Today is the second day of the battle, and the development of the war in the three directions is still relatively smooth, although there is also some considerable resistance on the way, but the overall is still good, the 767th Division failed to take Pingquan under dark yesterday, nor was it able to push the battle line to Lingyuan before dark.
It stands to reason that the 767th Division will go to Lingyuan first, and then Pingquan, but Sun Jianguo, this kid, is now fighting and gradually began to use his brains, while advancing the troops, he also sent a brigade of troops to attack Pingquan, Pingquan is located in the southwest and rear direction of Lingyuan, and Pingquan's defensive strength is much less than Lingyuan, so judging by the normal situation, the troops will definitely arrive in Lingyuan first, but the county seat taken first is likely to be Pingquan.
Once the 767th Division occupies Pingquan, then the Kwantung Army guarding Lingyuan will be in danger, and the geographical location of Pingquan is also extremely important, and it can directly send troops to Chengde to the south to directly support the 768th Division, or it can directly bypass Chengde and take Longhua directly, and then directly cut off the Kwantung Army from Chengde and Luanping and the rear.
The most important thing is that once they capture Longhua, then the Kwantung Army in Chengde, Luanping and Fengning will completely lose contact with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and they are faced with only two choices, either enter the pass or be annihilated, no matter which one is chosen, the undefeated myth of the Kwantung Army will be completely defeated, although the previous defeat can not be defeated.
A B24 Liberator bomber, with a loud roar of engines, took off directly from the airfield under the escort of four Bf109 fighters and flew southwest. And this B24 Liberator was obviously temporarily requisitioned by Su Dao, for the 99th Army, which was all fighters and no passenger planes, Su Dao could only retreat and capture the Liberator as his temporary landline.
Of course, it's not that Su Dao doesn't want to build a more comfortable passenger plane to be his special plane, but the current conditions don't allow him to do these at all, and Su Dao doesn't have any intention of enjoying it, so it's better to get more bombers than a special plane.
The war has been going on for two days, and at noon today, the 767th Division completely took Pingquan, no, after learning about the situation over there, Su Dao hurriedly arranged the things here, and then ran over to take a look this evening, and waited until tomorrow night to rush back, as for why not take a truck, one is too slow, the road facilities in this era are not half a star, and whether the truck on the road can even drive to forty yards is a problem, it is better to take a plane faster. Second, the current aircraft does not have high requirements for the hardware facilities of the airport, generally speaking, a slightly flat open space is enough, otherwise do you think that the combat scale of hundreds of fighters in World War II was all completed on the runway one by one? In this era, it was common to have five or six fighters at a time, or even more to take off side by side, which greatly improved the efficiency of aircraft taking off and landing.
As for supplies or something, there is no need to worry about this, and they are not going to fight, at most they will consume some fuel, and putting two or three barrels of fuel directly on top of the liberator is enough to fill up all five of their fighters, after all, the distance is not far.
"Commander, in fact, you don't have to go over in person, besides, the fight over there is also going well, even if there is any difficulty, the Air Force can provide them with support in less than half an hour." Lu Guo sat on the ground, because Su Dao's trip to Pingquan was arranged in a hurry, so the airport did not have time to simply install a few seats for the Liberator, so Su Dao and Lu Guo sat directly on the ground after the plane just flew flat.
As for the other guards, some of them were scattered in the cabin, and a few of the more miserable ones could only find a random place to stuff in, but fortunately the liberators did not carry bombs this time, otherwise they would have been seriously overloaded with such a dozen additional personnel.
"Hehe, do you think I used to just take a look at the battlefield?" Su Dao glanced at Lu Guo, although Su Dao's sudden decision to go to Pingquan this time seemed a little reckless, but this was definitely not reckless for the Ninety-ninth Army.
As the scale of the 99th Army became larger and larger, and Su Dao's ambition was not satisfied with the army, it can be seen from the private formation of a large-scale air force that Su Dao's ambition was not just as simple as driving Yue himself out of China, and Chairman Jiang also saw this, so now except for the places that he can't control, Chairman Jiang basically controls the rest of the aspects very strictly, especially those technical personnel, who are a hundred times more rigorous than before, to prevent anyone from running to Su Dao's side.
Moreover, with the current strength of the 99th Army, he can already run rampant in the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prince or a local warlord, and the more than 100 air force fighters that can fight at any time are far from being comparable to the air force under Chairman Chiang, plus the army's various heavy equipment and light equipment are superior to the Central Army, so if Su Dao stands up to defeat Chiang now, although he may not be able to completely eliminate them, it is still no problem to make Chairman Chiang sweat profusely.
"What's that for?" Lu Guo scratched his head and asked a little depressedly, being able to be selected by Su Dao as the commander of the special forces, this is enough to prove that Lu Guo's IQ is definitely much higher than ordinary people, the special forces are not just a force that can fight, what is needed here is not how good you can fight, but how many strange tricks you have, how bright your brain is, you can take a hundred people or more people to complete a task, but the people here can use those seemingly despicable methods, just need a team, Or one or two people can achieve this effect.
And in the past, Lu Guo could basically guess the meaning of Su Dao, and even when Su Dao directly named and won Jinxi at the earliest, Lu Guo had already guessed Su Dao's meaning, and according to the development of things in the future, Lu Guo's guess was also confirmed.
"Hehe, don't think about it, you can't figure out the purpose of our trip to Pingquan this time. Do you remember Lei Zhenhao? Su Dao lightly touched the head that had landed, and then reminded.
"It's the guy who came back from studying at the Royal Naval College in the UK, the son of a local tyrant? Isn't he in the Navy? Why does it have anything to do with him? Hearing Lei Zhenhao, Lu Guo suddenly had an impression, it seems that in addition to Su Dao, there seems to be only Lei Zhenhao left who has drunk foreign ink, so Lu Guo has some impressions of this guy who has a local tyrant as his father, but he is very curious, why did Su Dao, who is so good, pull out this guy? (The local tyrant was first referred to as a wealthy and powerful family or individual in the Song Dynasty.) )
"I've always been very curious before, how can a child who hasn't even been out of the Northeast and hasn't grown up be so interested in the navy, and then under my coercion and temptation, this kid finally told a big secret, this time we came here to visit a senior, if it is done, our navy is not just a submarine so shivering." Su Dao muttered with his eyes shining.
To be honest, Su Dao was also very curious about why Lei Zhenhao was so determined to be in the navy, and this guy's ambition was not just the navy, but more yearning for those giant ships, artillery, battleships, or something. Su Dao, who knew that the battleships were about to retire from the stage, did not plan to build too many battleships at all, but to replace those behemoths with more aircraft carriers and small fleets.
When Lei Zhenhao first heard that he was going to be a submariner, this guy actually pointed at Su Dao's face and said that it was not appropriate to shrink his head to kill him, which made Su Dao lose his temper at all. However, Su Dao was not diverted by Lei Zhenhao, and in the middle of the side knock, Su Dao finally made a promise to build him a battleship and make him the captain of the ship, and this guy finally said why he was so interested in the navy.
In this way, Su Dao knew that there was such an old man who had such a huge influence in the Republic of China living in Pingquan, and this old-timer, he and the current naval commander Chen Shaokuan were both under the former Qing naval ruler (commander-in-chief) in the early Republic of China, and during World War I, the two went to Europe to inspect the navy. It's just that this one retired due to injury later, but he has always been in contact with Chen Shaokuan, and his subordinates are basically captains of the navy now, so as long as he has the help of this one, Su Dao's naval plan does not have to worry about it for the time being, and he can expand his navy by more than ten times in an instant. (Now there is only one U-boat)
ps: Just came back from outside, send the first chapter first, the second chapter later, and today there is a third chapter. I'll go have a meal first, and I'll come back to Chapter 2. (To be continued.) )
