Chapter 148: Counterattack is needed

"Magic?"

"Tricks?"

Zhou Zhirou, Wang Shuming, Huang Bingheng and other major generals of the Air Force all looked at Qin Wei with puzzled expressions, Chennault had also been in China for several years, and he knew the word magic quite well, and he was also shocked by the word that came out of Qin Wei's mouth. Magic? Why didn't this guy just say magic?

"What magic?"

Song Meiling didn't express much surprise at Qin Wei's words. She didn't have much contact with this kid, but she understood the other party's personality very well. I'm not a little sure, this kid won't open his mouth casually if he is killed.

"To put it bluntly, it's deception. But I prefer to call this method 'tactical deception', or tactical camouflage. Qin Wei said: "It's like our soldiers wearing straw hats on the battlefield, hiding themselves and trying not to be discovered by the enemy as much as possible." ”

"Sir Qin, do you mean to use a method to hide the targets that the Japanese might want to bomb so that they can't bomb?" Wang Shuming asked.

"That's right." Qin Wei nodded.

"But we're a whole city." Wang Shuming had no intention of provoking, and he did not dare to provoke. He is the chief of staff of the Air Force, but he is only a colonel, and Qin Wei is the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force, but he is a lieutenant general. His position seems to be higher than Qin Wei's, but his rank is a full two streets apart. He didn't know what the other party was doing to give Qin Wei such a funny position, but he knew very well that the other party was not something he could provoke.

"Yes, a whole city, and it's a big city, how can it be hidden?" Chennault followed suit.

"I know a man, he's a magician." Qin Wei smiled, "He lives in a small town in Europe. One night, on a whim, he climbed to the top of the hill to see the city at night from above. Unfortunately, though. I had just climbed the mountain, and I only had to take a look, and before I could revel in the beauty of the stars in the sky and the lights below the mountain, the power went out......"

"Blackout?" Zhou Zhirou was stunned at first, and then thoughtful.

"Yes, blackout!" Qin Wei smiled, "This makes him extremely annoyed. After all, climbing the mountain at night is very hard, and it is really very depressing to be tired and half dead but only take a look at that kind of beautiful scenery. But what can he do about the power outage? He sat on the top of the hill for a long time, and then relieved himself. He was about to descend the mountain, but he had only taken a few steps when a bold and wonderful idea popped into his head......"

"......" Everyone didn't speak, they all knew that Qin Wei was about to get down to business.

"That guy is a doer, he does what he thinks. Of course. He didn't have much money, so he had to do a simple project. He set up a few wires in a clearing two kilometers away from the town. There are some lanterns hanging on it according to a predetermined trajectory. After all this is done. He told his assistant about the plan. That day, that night, he climbed the mountain again. And when he climbed the mountain, he found that there were two small towns at the bottom of the mountain, and if he hadn't known the Tao in advance, he would hardly be able to tell which one was true. Which is fake...... That is, he copied an almost identical town two kilometers away! ”

"Amazing magic!" Chennault directly applauded, "General Qin, this person must be a great magician. I don't quite understand, though. A small town can be translated, but how can a city be translated? Especially a big city like Chongqing. There are millions of people here. ”

"The method of panning is definitely the same." Zhou Zhirou looked solemn, "But if you do it straight, this is a huge project." If nothing else, we may not be able to imitate the lights needed for the whole city. What's more, Chongqing is the confluence of two great rivers. The Yangtze River and the Jialing River, two obvious water belts, can still be distinguished even at night. ”

"What Chief Zhou said does need to be considered. But I don't think we have to move the whole city if we have to. We can completely shard. Move a number of important areas aside. It is enough to dodge the bombardment of enemy troops. Wang Shuming pondered: "It's just that the Japanese are extremely rampant. They often come out to bomb during the day. Lights can confuse enemies at night, but what about during the day? What do you rely on during the day? ”

"If we can have a sufficient number of anti-aircraft guns, we can force the Japanese to come again at night!" Chongqing Air Force Commander Huang Bingheng said suddenly.

"That's right, anti-aircraft guns!" As soon as Chennault slapped the table, he turned his head to Song Meiling: "Madam, we need a huge number of anti-aircraft guns. At least a thousand. ”

"Our foreign affairs department in Europe is negotiating with the Swedish government to buy their Bofors anti-aircraft guns, but there will certainly not be a lot of them. After all, we have a little more money, but we need more to use. Song Meiling sighed lightly, "Chief of Staff Qin, is this the only way you have?" Although the anti-aircraft artillery can play a certain role in air defense, I also know that its hit rate is very low. The Japanese have always been known for their fearlessness of death, and they want to use anti-aircraft artillery to force the Japanese to fly at night. ”

"It's a little bit out of place. But it's a real way. It's just that I don't understand, why did the Japanese have to bomb Chongqing? Although it is a capital here, their bombing mainly harms civilians and does not cause much damage to the government and the army...... Losing a large number of aerial bombs in order to injure some combat-neutral civilians is probably not a good business for the Japanese, right? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"The Japanese just wanted to bomb Chongqing to make the people fear and fear, so as to affect the resistance psychology of our front-line soldiers." Huang Bingheng said: "Chief Qin, if your 'magic' is only like this, although it may have a certain effect, I am afraid it will be difficult to play a big role. ”

"Why do you have to sit there and wait for the Japanese to bomb us?" Qin Wei suddenly asked again.

"Do you mean to fight back?" Chennault asked.

"That's right." Qin Wei nodded, "If you keep it for a long time, you will lose." The best defense is actually offense. The Japanese are so fond of bombing us, why do we just sit and wait for them to bomb us? Fight back, why don't you fight back? ”

"If we can fight back, how can we not fight back?" Zhou Zhirou was angered by Qin Wei's words, "But how many planes do we have?" And how many Japanese are there? How many pilots do we have? And how many Japanese are there? In order to protect Chongqing's airspace, our pilots have lost an unknown number of roads. And it's not just Chongqing. From the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, our pilots have killed the enemy bravely, which time have they flinched? Shen Zhengzhi and Chen Xichun drove a plane together to ram the Japanese flagship; Yan Haiwen was surrounded by Japanese soldiers after parachuting, killed five Japanese soldiers and then committed suicide by drinking bullets; Chen Huaimin was the first person in the world to hit a plane with a plane; Let's take a look at Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan...... Which of them did not die on the battlefield where the enemy was killed? Who doesn't want to fight back? The one who doesn't want to fight back is the turtle bastard. But have you ever thought about it, to fight back in such a situation is to send it to death. Do you want Chongqing's airspace anymore? Do you want the people here? ”

"Commander Zhou, I know that you are holding back the fire in your heart." Qin Wei looked indifferent: "But I still want to scold you, because you, the commander of the Air Force, are not qualified at all!" ”

"What should I do?"

Chongqing City, Jifang Street.

Looking at the office that was only in ruins, Bogu's face was full of regret. This is their base camp in Chongqing. It is also the only "snail dwelling", which is now ruined, where will I live in the future?

"The comrades of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee have already contacted the farm in Hongyan Village, where there are still several workers' dormitories, and we may have to move there temporarily."

Dong Biwu tugged at his mustache. It's also full of distress. The house on this side of the computer room street was finally brought down, but how long has it been lived? It's gone. It's a lot of money.

"We're not going to Red Rock."

Zhou Enlai shook his head. rejected Dong Biwu's proposal.

"Not going to Red Rock? What else can you choose from? Bogu asked.

"I think Shapingba is good. What do you think? Zhou Enlai asked everyone.

"Shapingba?" The surrounding people couldn't help but glance at each other a few times, and the most embarrassed thing was Kaifeng who started talking: "It's a school area and there are many universities." The Kuomintang did not allow us to carry out public activities, and the establishment of the Southern Bureau did not dare to make it public, so we could only attach ourselves to the name of the Eighth Route Army's office in Chongqing. Now, if it moves to Shapingba, the Kuomintang will definitely have to go through a lot of trouble. ”

"yes. The situation we are facing now is not very favorable. Although the Kuomintang is cooperating with us. But inside, he still regards us as enemies. Chiang Kai-shek is even more like a thief. Moving to Shapingba, he is definitely against it. Ye Jianying also said.

"If you oppose it, you will oppose it. He can't leave us without a house, can he? Zhou Enlai smiled indifferently: "He, Jiang someone, has made a fortune recently." If you think it's not suitable for us to live in Shapingba, then find us a room, it's really not good. It's okay for us to build it ourselves with some funds. ”

"Isn't it? Enlai, are you trying to knock Lao Jiang's bamboo pole? Lin Boqu couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"I can say that, but I'm mainly here to help our Chairman Jiang share the financial pressure. He has too much money, and I'm afraid he won't be able to spend it. Zhou Enlai made a joke: "Of course, the main reason for moving to Shapingba is that our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are too poor." I would suggest that we could add an additional agriculture team to our Office. I heard that the development of agriculture and breeding in the area of Shapingba is good, and a few hundred catties of fat pigs will be slaughtered in four months; A few acres of fish ponds can raise hundreds of thousands of catties of fish. Now the university in Shapingba is working hard to promote it to the whole of Chongqing, which is still very attractive and helpful to us poor people. So, we didn't move there to promote communism, we did it to fill our stomachs, to fill the bellies of our poor soldiers, who had hardly been exposed to fishy meat. Of course, this is also a response to the call of Chairman Chiang and the major colleges and universities, and it is completely justified and there is no reason for selfishness. ”

"Good!" Dong Biwu clapped his hands, "This reason is very good." I think it's totally doable. If he Lao Jiang looks uncomfortable, then he will casually give a thousand eight million, and give some military salaries to the soldiers of our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, so that everyone will not go hungry. If you don't give it, then we will always live in Shapingba and see what he does. (To be continued......)
