Chapter 828 Escort Issue
After Akiquan took over the management of the Soviet Pacific Fleet's prisoners of war from the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Marine Corps, after many efforts, he was finally persuaded to convince these Soviet prisoners of war.
One qiē is ready, all that remains is how to deal with Takashima Hongichi and more than 3,000 Japanese marines, in fact, it is very simple, get along for many days, Takashima has already regarded Qiuquan as a dead friend, that feels like a jiāo with a surname with a different head, and obeys Qiuquan's words.
Qiuquan gathered all the squad leaders together to study how not to use guns and cannons, and quietly solved these little devils, the squad leaders talked and came up with a lot of ideas, but Qiuquan felt that it was not perfect enough, and it took some effort to do it, these little devils are the dishes in the bowl, there is no problem in eating them, but they can be eaten with both trouble and neatness, which is a matter of considering kung fu.
Chu Tian, the captain of the ninth detachment, has been speechless, with a pair of dark eyes, from time to time to look at this, look at that, Qiuquan knows that this guy is a person with great scheming and methods, among these detachment leaders, he belongs to the characters of wisdom and bravery, and it is very easy to use, in Qiuquan's heart, he already has the idea of promoting him to the chief of staff of the detachment, but he has not yet communicated with the division commander Tang Qiuli.
"Chu Tian, is there a good way to take it out, don't stuff it in your stomach," Qiu Quan directly ordered, Chu Tian raised his head, looked at Qiu Quan, and hesitated, the captains of the detachments next to him were anxious, and shouted one after another: "Old Chu, if you have any ideas, pour them out quickly, who doesn't know that your kid has the most bad ideas."
Everyone laughed for a while, and Chu Tian also laughed, these old guys were too familiar with each other, "Detachment leader, I think so, the good relationship established with those little devils in the Marine Corps, you can take advantage of it, prepare some delicious food and drink, let's poison it, and keep no one left." Chu Tian said unhurriedly.
Qiuquan's eyes lit up, good idea, Takahashi and those little devils are not wary of themselves at all, even if they give them rats to drink, they will not arouse suspicion.
"Okay, let's take Chutian's method, everyone follow this line of thought and improve the plan," Qiu Quan said, the detachment leader has already determined the tone, and everyone is thinking about how to poison this.
In the special operations detachment, there is no shortage of masters of poisoning, there is no problem with the preparation of poison, we go to the people, take the solution in advance, you can rest assured and boldly accompany the little devils to eat and drink, within an hour, these more than 3,000 little devils, in the faint mí died, so without a single shot, it is indeed the most clever way.
That night, Qiuquan telegraphed the division commander Tang Qiuli in detail about the situation in Haishanwei, the war in the Far East, his own arrangements, etc., and soon received a reply: "When the time is ripe, you can immediately carry out the final plan, at present, the war in the Far East has gradually become clear, the defeat of the Soviet army is inevitable, this is the best time to act, in addition, what do you need the division commander to do for you?" Especially in terms of the details, are you ready? ”
Although Tang Qiuli didn't know how to drive a warship, he knew that a huge fleet was indispensable in all aspects of sailing on the sea, so he reminded Qiuquan.
Qiu Quan immediately understood the meaning, he felt that he had considered things relatively simple, more than a hundred warships were on the vast sea, and his subordinates were all laymen, completely relying on Soviet prisoners of war, anything could happen, and he immediately summoned these prisoners of war, who served as captains and deputy captains, together.
After so many days, these Soviet prisoners of war also knew the identity of Qiu Quan, and instinctively had a sense of awe for this young man who could control their fate whether it was the identity of the Kwantung Army or the identity of the Chinese ** person.
Seeing that it was this chief who made them a little frightened, he suddenly summoned everyone, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, a pair of blue and gray eyes, secretly looking at Qiuquan, Qiuquan was speechless for a while, could it be that he was the reincarnation of Lord Yama? So scary?
Qiu Quan's face was as smiling as he could, and he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to break away from the clutches of the Japanese and rush to a free China. You can speak freely. ”
These Soviet officers breathed a sigh of relief, this is an opportunity to express their fate in front of the commander, and their future fate is in the hands of this young man, and they have poured beans into bamboo tubes with whatever they thought of, without reservation, and the officers' meeting lasted for more than two hours, and after the meeting, Qiuquan looked at the thick book of things that needed to be prepared, and was a little dazed.
Dare to be affectionate, a fleet sails, it takes so many troubles, there is a captain to build yì, the aircraft on the two aircraft carriers, must be mothballed, to prevent Soviet pilots from taking the opportunity to drive the planes back to the Soviet Union, these pilots, must also be centrally managed, in a sense, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier do not belong to the system under the direct command of the captain, there is a special air combat commander.
The fleet system and the carrier-based aircraft system are under the command of the fleet commander, these are two parallel systems, and it is not up to who restricts whom, but Qiuquan understands that those who drive warships cannot control those with wings, and this is easy to do, and it is easy to see if the planes are not allowed to go to the sky, but there is another problem, what if I find out that the Pacific Fleet has been hijacked by myself and send planes to bomb it?
If the fleet wants to go to Qingdao, it must go through the Sea of Japan, the Tsushima Strait and the Korean Strait are the only way to go, and now, this is the backyard of the Japanese, very close to the Japanese mainland, such a situation will definitely happen, and in addition, the question of the liaison between the fleet and the Qingdao base raised by a Soviet captain, Qiuquan's head is too big to tǐng, all of this is beyond the scope of his ability and knowledge.
Qiuquan had no choice, and reported all these situations to Tang Qiuli, before receiving Qiuquan's telegram, Tang Qiuli was already thinking about these issues, he came from later generations, and he knew very well about the situation of naval warfare and the history that took place in this era, whether it was the Japanese mainland or the Japanese land-based air power on the Korean Peninsula, it was a great threat to this fleet.
Once the Japanese discover that the entire Pacific Fleet has been hijacked, they will certainly use all their roadbed planes to chase and bomb them all the way, and the Japanese know better that this huge fleet is in their own hands, and since they cannot get it, they will not let these warships fall into the hands of the enemy.
According to the normal law, the aircraft carrier formation, its own carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft firepower, are enough to resist attacks from the sky and land, at least self-protection can be done, Tang Qiuli and the Soviet army officers thought the same, do not worry about putting the carrier-based aircraft pilots among the Soviet prisoners of war into the air, without the control of the special combat personnel, who dares to guarantee that these prisoners will not drive the plane back to the Soviet Union?
After thinking hard for a long time, Tang Qiuli decided to take a risk and use land-based aircraft to escort the sea fleet, so he used Jinan Airport as a take-off base, and he transferred Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, commanders of the independent division's air force, to Beiping to study this plan in detail.
When Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang heard that there was a battle to fight, they didn't think much about it, their eyes immediately lit up, and they shouted with vigour: "Please rest assured, the division commander, the aviation unit will guarantee to complete the task and escort the warship to the Qingdao Naval Base safely" Seeing their appearance, Tang Qiu was detached.
These two belligerent guys have made the task simple, the plane takes off from Jinan Airport, and the combat radius is more than a thousand kilometers, how long can they be on guard over the fleet? From Haishanwei to Qingdao, it will not take more than a week to reach it at all, and for such a long time, can you ensure that there are a sufficient number of fighters to be on alert over the fleet at all times?
Tang Qiuli said this, asked Dele and Liu were speechless, they were wilted at that time, yes, just thinking about going to war, without considering the specific difficulties, since receiving the five hundred Ils and MiG series fighters compensated by the Soviet Union, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang definitely have the feeling of nouveau riche.
Coupled with the Soviet planes that arrived in the ancient battles of Waiméng, the air force of the independent division already has one hundred and sixty-six combat units and one hundred and five bombers, with absolute wealth and great business, in their opinion, such strength can be dangled sideways in the Chinese sky.
Tang Qiuli saw the two of them who were still full of confidence just now, wilting like frosted eggplants, and laughed and teased: "What? Our Air Force Chief and Deputy Commander was stumped by this little trouble? Not like the style of the two of you? ”
Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, if it was an air battle, more than 800 fighters pounced on it, it was definitely a situation where the little devils or the Soviets had no return, but with such a long flight distance, before they could fly, the fuel of the fighter was exhausted, and they looked at Tang Qiuli as if asking for help, hoping that the division commander would have a good way.
Tang Qiuli's method was to hang four auxiliary fuel tanks on each fighter plane, which would be used for fuel consumption during the flight, and once a battle broke out, it would be thrown away immediately, so that the fighter could use its own fuel to maintain and return to Jinan Airport.
Eight hundred and sixty-six fighters, divided into eight echelons, jiāo for takeoff, this echelon returns, that echelon arrives, can ensure that the fleet is in the airspace, there is always an echelon of fighters escorting, in this way, each echelon can stay in the sky over the fleet for about 40 minutes, if there is no air battle, can stay for nearly two hours.
This is also a matter of no choice, Tang Qiuli really hopes that he can have a few tankers, but that is decades later, and at present, he can only rely on such a local method to escort his long-awaited baby back safely.
