Chapter 748: The Japanese Army in East China under the Dangerous Nest

After accumulating strength for half a year, the New Fourth Army finally began to take the initiative. Just before the New Fourth Army attacked, Qi Yuan once again presented a great gift to the New Fourth Army - the First Division of the Armored Corps.

In just half a year, the New Fourth Army not only filled the Seventh and Eighth Divisions with a strength of 10,000 people, but also because of CPC's grandeur, there was an endless stream of people who came to join the army, and even many people were waiting in Wuhu to join the New Fourth Army. However, the New Fourth Army plans to recruit only two divisions, and at most the troops that have come from other places still need some reinforcements, but their digestion is still limited.

Qi Yuan finally decided to take the 8,000 people who were good among the conscripts, use the Psychic Command Tower Control Zhì, and inculcate combat skills to make it a unit similar to that of a professional Red Police soldier. At the same time, with the increase in Qi Yuan's looting of Japanese army materials and resources, coupled with the fact that he provided updated mining equipment for the Ma'anshan Iron Mine, the mining site increased, and Qi Yuan accumulated enough resources to directly build the weapons and equipment needed for an armored division for the New Fourth Army.

Although Tie Xun felt that it was very painful to use a large number of resources to build hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and the same resources could build at least 100,000 rifles, the power of an armored division was already known to the world at this time, and the German army's blitzkrieg in Europe was so amazing that it mainly relied on the armored forces that were vertical and horizontal.

Of course, there is another rather troublesome problem for the New Fourth Army to engage in armored divisions, that is, the lack of fuel. Qi Yuan also robbed a lot of Japanese soldiers' fuel depots, so that he could save enough fuel for the troops.

It took only three days before and after the establishment of the First Armored Division of the New Fourth Army, and immediately after the personnel were selected, they were promoted by Qi Yuan to the command tower control zhì, and the weapons and equipment were also rapidly allocated, and the basic combat effectiveness was already formed on the third day. Tie Xun wanted Su Zhiyu, the general of the New Fourth Army, to serve as the commander of the armored division, but there were no generals in the New Fourth Army who knew armored troops now, and Tie Xun was also afraid that the layman would lead the insider on a business trip, so he finally accepted a guy who was not well known at all, but was actually directly appointed by the command tower, as the temporary division commander of the First Armored Division of the New Fourth Army. However, Tie Xun still assigned Wen Shengzhi, who came from Jiangbei, to study with the armored division, and his heart was clear, it was nothing more than waiting for Wen Shengzhi to learn the Tao in the armored force, and then take over.

The frequent movements of the New Fourth Army made both the Japanese army in Nanjing and the Wang puppet regime very frightened. Now no one regards the New Fourth Army as a guerrilla-style unit, and the New Fourth Army has won successive battles, broken through strong captives, and has the Wheel King to help in the battle, and the Japanese army has difficulty sleeping. In order to guard against the offensive of the New Fourth Army, the Japanese puppet army set up three lines of defense south of Nanjing, considering that Dangtu, which was controlled by the New Fourth Army, was only more than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing, this kind of defensive density was also appalling.

After being swallowed up by the New Fourth Army with two main divisions, the Japanese base camp successively dispatched troops to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, so that the Japanese army stationed more than eight divisions and seven independent mixed brigades in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, plus the 100,000 puppet troops raised by the Wang puppet regime after being frightened, the Japanese army deployed nearly 400,000 troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, making a rare posture of fighting defensive operations.

The New York Times correspondent in Shanghai recorded the incident: "...... About four years ago, a similar scene was playing out in Shanghai and throughout East China, except that now it was no longer the Chinese army that was busy with panic, but the Japanese. We can't understand how such a change came about, what happened to a red army that could be strangled to death by its own government army at any time half a year ago, and how it was reborn like this? It has been learned that the main combat strength of the New Fourth Army in Wuhu is less than 100,000, while the Japanese army and its affiliated troops in East China have as many as 400,000. Since last week, overseas Japanese have been withdrawn from Shanghai to Japan, and most of them are the children and family members of the Chamber of Commerce, and even some military families. The marines in the Japanese concession are organizing military training and distributing weapons to Japanese expatriates, just as the Japanese troops in Shanghai did during the 128 Incident, but we will wait and see whether this time they will be able to resist the New Fourth Army, which has surpassed common sense and can be measured, we will ......wait and see."

And the Wang puppet regime, which was under the front of the New Fourth Army, did not feel that the three iron defense lines laid by the Japanese army were not safe at all, and if the New Fourth Army really wanted to kill them and sent the Wheel King to attack the presidential palace, President Wang and his traitor followers would definitely not be able to escape.

As a result, Wang Jingwei had no choice but to propose to the Japanese that he had recently become ill and was unable to perform his presidential duties, and that he hoped to go to Japan, which had advanced medical technology, for recuperation and treatment, and to leave Nanjing temporarily. And the traitors of the traitor regime in Nanjing, big and small, even proposed to move the capital to Guangzhou and avoid the edge for the time being, without the slightest courage. Of course, if the traitors had the courage to face the crisis, they would not be traitors.

The Japanese base camp also used Shunroku Hatata, who had made great achievements in the Chinese battlefield, to replace Nishio Toshizo, who was a mess by the CPC at the end of the period, as the commander-in-chief of the China Dispatch Army, and at the same time led the defensive operations of the Japanese army in East China against the "abnormal movement" of the New Fourth Army.

As soon as he took office, he adopted a proactive defensive approach, and he believed: "Although the New Fourth Army has such a powerful weapon as the Wheel King, there is only one Wheel King, and our chessboard is still very large, so the flying division should organize air raids against the areas controlled by the New Fourth Army to weaken the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army." ”

Under the instructions of Shunroku Hatata, the Japanese Army Aviation Corps took off from various airfields in East China and flew to the southern Anhui region in an attempt to bomb all parts of southern Anhui, especially the military installations of the New Fourth Army. Although it has been difficult for the Japanese army's reconnaissance planes to enter the airspace of the New Fourth Army to conduct reconnaissance in the near future, with the help of some traitor spies, the Japanese army still has a certain amount of information about the military deployment of the New Fourth Army.

The Japanese army mainly dispatched more than 200 military planes, mainly critter planes and fighter planes, to bomb different targets of the New Fourth Army from different directions. And although the Japanese army knew that the New Fourth Army also had an air force, they did not take it seriously. But within half a year, with Qi Yuan looting a large amount of resources, more than 100 fighters have been manufactured for the New Fourth Army, all of which are La-11 fighters.

Qi Yuan had already set up an air defense warning radar in Wuhu, so when the Japanese army made some moves, the New Fourth Army Air Force had already been dispatched. This batch of La-11 fighters not only had pilots who were willing to control zhì, but even a group of novice pilots trained by the New Fourth Army itself also participated in the battle. They basically have 50 hours of flying experience, which is not very good, but the performance of the La-11 is much better than that of the Japanese fighters, so under the offset of the two, in fact, the Chinese pilots are not bad.

What's more, the Wheel King is here.

The king of the wheels, who can fly at several times the speed of sound, is mainly engaged in the work of checking and filling in the gaps, and the Japanese planes that the New Fourth Army Air Force cannot take care of are all cleaned up by the king of the wheels. The Runner does not have the good aerodynamic shape of a traditional airplane, but the Runner King can manipulate the ion field to create an aerodynamic shape for himself, so a humanoid mecha like the Runner King can still travel in the air at high speed with the best aerodynamic attitude.

2 Mach flying Wheel King, do not need to launch any missiles, directly with 23mm cannon strafing, no Japanese fighter can dodge, the efficiency of the Wheel King to eliminate the Japanese machine is quite amazing, the Japanese machine often has not yet reacted, has been exploded by the Wheel King.

And the New Fourth Army Air Force is also unambiguous. Although the speed advantage is not as obvious as that of the Wheel King, the La-11 still has a speed difference of up to 200 kilometers per hour compared with some Japanese fighters such as the Type 97, and the La-11 is also better in maneuverability. Moreover, even if the Type 97 fired a string of machine gun bullets, it might not be able to penetrate the La-11, but if the La-11 shot the Type 97 with a 23mm machine gun, then the Type 97 would have no way out.

After the setback, the Japanese air unit was immediately ordered to return, but the sad thing was that their speed was really not good, and the New Fourth Army Air Force pursued and killed all the way, constantly shooting down the Japanese planes, until they chased them to the vicinity of Nanjing, and after the Japanese antiaircraft artillery attacks began, the New Fourth Army Air Force reluctantly returned home. The Japanese army lost 61 military planes in service, while the New Fourth Army only lost 4 fighters, and half of them were due to improper operation. Naturally, another major reason for such a disparity in battle loss ratio is the Wheel King.

After learning that the Japanese army aviation had returned, Shunroku Hata couldn't help but lament: "What else can be done to restrain the New Fourth Army and the Wheel King?" ”

But while he was lamenting, in order to prevent the Japanese army from bombing the New Fourth Army-controlled area again, Qi Yuan operated the Wheel King to carry out a large-scale attack on the Japanese East China Airport. The Runner King can basically destroy most of the airport with an electromagnetic cannon in a dozen strokes, and after destroying the airport, Qi Wish still has time to let the Runner King collect the wreckage of the Japanese army's scrapped fighter planes and convert them into resources to make other weapons again.

In just one afternoon, the Japanese army aviation unit suffered heavy losses, not a single fighter plane was able to take off normally, and almost all military airfields were destroyed, although these are not irreparable, but Hata Shunroku has no doubt that if the airfield is repaired, then the Runner King is likely to launch a new round of strikes.

"Amaterasu, please help me, how can I defeat this arrogant Chinese weapon, has the fortune of the imperial kingdom come to an end?" Shunroku Hata thought sadly.

"Probably not, Your Excellency."

Toshidai Hata was shocked to see a young man in a hunting suit in his closed room, holding a fan in his hand, looking leisurely.

"Your Excellency General, in Shimono Ashiya Michiman, at the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor, I have come to help His Excellency the General fight against the King of the Wheel of China."
