Chapter 1331: Bombing Okinawa (I)
Seeing Le Yiqin's movements, Shen Jun "fluttered" and said, "Two, do you think you can hide this from the teacher?" I don't want to say it, but the intelligence department must have also known the news, and they have a rule that when our senior officers above the rank of major general go out alone, they must report to the division headquarters, and besides, my subordinates will also report this situation to the division staff office. β
Le Yiqin hugged his head and lamented, "It's over, a violent training is indispensable" Liu Cuigang also shrank his neck, this is good, the two supreme commanders of the aviation force, sneaked out to drink, and went to a place like a bar, which is full of lights and wine, and became famous, and he ran all the way from Beiping, and he didn't even see the face of the division commander, so he wrote down a violent training first.
Shen Jun smiled secretly in his heart, "If the division commander knows, tonight, the two of you were almost assassinated by the Japanese agents, it is not as simple as a violent training, if you don't get it right, you will be confined, and the division commander will have two more major general staff officers next to him, just like Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade of the directly subordinate corps" However, Shen Jun does not plan to tell them the truth of the matter for the time being, the big war is imminent, and he still knows the truth that he should not be distracted.
The three of them arrived at Jiang Yanming's headquarters, the old comrades-in-arms met, and there was a lot of excitement, Shen Jun only stayed for more than half an hour, and then he left, he had something in his heart, a doubt, and always hovered in his mind, "How did you know the identities of Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang?" Moreover, the stalking is very timely, could it be that there is a mole in the Hongqiao Command of the Southern Flight Group of the Air Force? β
If you don't understand this matter, Shen Jun will definitely be stuck in his throat and have trouble sleeping, speaking of which, tonight, the investigation department has also gained a lot, in order to carry out the task of assassinating Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the base camp of the Japanese base camp spared no expense and used the deepest hidden spy organization. Without this matter, they have no possibility of exposure, just right, let Shen Jun catch them all. All captured alive.
These "Japanese" spies who were captured alive are the living keys that can solve the mystery in Shen Jun's heart, and Shen Jun is not afraid that he will not be able to pry open the mouths of these miscellaneous people, and enter the investigation office, what is the spirit of bushido, loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, etc., it is all a pile of shit. Sure enough, the next morning, Shen Jun got the result he wanted.
After reading the confessions of these Japanese agents, Shen Jun realized the severity of the problem, since the independent division became the only opponent of the Japanese himself, the military intelligence bureau of the Japanese base camp collected the personal information of officers above the rank of colonel of the independent division through multiple channels. After several years of hard work, in addition to Colonel Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division, and Colonel Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Division. The person himself has the basic information of the target officers of the independent division.
Shen Jun's Investigation Department and Yu Deshui's Intelligence Department are the two most mysterious departments of the Independent Division, as the head of the secret service and the head of intelligence, the two deliberately keep a low profile, Shenlong is nowhere to be seen, and he himself does not know about these two mysterious figures anyway, even if there is a little bit of information, even the basic situation of the two departments, has not been mastered.
And Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were listed as assassination targets. Because of the famous reputation of the two of them, in Southeast Asia, Le Yiqin's Southern Flight Group defeated several air forces of the Japanese army in the north. Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group overwhelmed the Kwantung Army Air Force, and the two people who controlled the aviation unit of the Independent Division became a serious problem for the Japanese themselves.
Shen Jun immediately contacted Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, and raised the level of defense again for all officers above the rank of colonel in the independent division, and submitted a report to the division commander Tang Qiuli, reporting that among the guards of officers at all levels, agents from the investigation department and the intelligence department must be secretly placed. β
And the two protagonists who triggered the great change in the guard system of the independent division, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, after sleeping for a while, had long forgotten about this matter and buried themselves in perfecting the battle plan for bombing Okinawa Island, but they didn't know that Tang Qiuli had already made an account with the two of them, and after they captured Yangon and pacified the Indochina Peninsula, they would settle accounts with these two bastards.
Two days later, Le Yiqin and Liu Cui had just finished revising the battle plan and reported to Tang Qiuli there, he spent half a day reading this battle plan carefully, nodded again and again, very satisfied, saw the highlights, and praised the knots.
In all fairness, these two trouble-loving guys are not boasting about their abilities, so let's take the way fighter groups attack, take Shanghai and Hangzhou airports as bases, adopt the method of relay take-off, take off in a formation every once in a while, and always maintain an escort fighter group, which is in a state of being able to stay in the air for a long time, and after the first batch of formations landed, replenish fuel and ammunition, and take off again.
Moreover, at the end of the plan, the two men also put forward a bold plan: "Division commander, we believe that this air raid on Okinawa Island, bombing range and distance, is extremely beneficial to our side, and can attract the main force of the Japanese air force to fight a decisive battle with us and completely destroy the air power of the little devils." β
Tang Qiuli synthesized the information in his hand and believed that the plan of the two was very implementable, and that the air force of Japan had already lost more than half of its air power after many strikes, and the number of fighters that could take off into the air for combat was basically the same as his own.
This is just like when the army is fighting, it throws troops one by one, and adds fuel to the tactics, which is a taboo for soldiers! However, the aviation of independent divisions has concentrated its forces to form a local advantage, coupled with relay batch take-offs, and has always maintained a cutting-edge assault force.
Tang Qiuli approved the following sentences on the battle plan: "After reading it several times, I feel that this battle plan is very good, and it will be implemented accordingly, and the launch date will be determined by the two of you, and it can be reported to the division headquarters. β
After reading the division commander's approval, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were proud, Le Yiqin patted the battle plan and said to Liu Cuigang: "Cuigang, do you see, why did the division commander let us go to Yangon alone, I wanted to praise it in person, and the opportunity for our brothers to show their faces has come!" Liu Cuigang strongly agreed.
In the early morning of 30 November, an air attack on Okinawa Island consisting of an independent division of air forces and five bomber regiments of the Southern Flying Group, escorted by five fighter regiments, took off from the Shanghai airfield and swept over the waters of the East China Sea to begin an air raid on Okinawa Island.
In order to compete for the position of commander of the air raid formation, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang almost quarreled, don't look at the two of them usually like brothers, but once it comes to combat missions, they don't give in to each other, and no one wants to be the commander of the support fleet, and in the end, the two came up with an idea to catch lots! In the end, it was Le Yiqin who was lucky.
Looking at Le Yiqin, he proudly boarded the fighter plane, and Liu Cuigang, who looked depressed, muttered in his mouth: "What a *** evil man?" I rushed to Shanghai, just to fight the first battle, but I still didn't catch it, could it be that this guy Le Yiqin has recently taken shit luck? β
The boundless sea surface of the East China Sea, it is the season when the northeast monsoon is raging, the wind and waves are high, Okinawa Island is like a boat in a storm, it may capsize at any time, today's weather conditions are not too good, cumulus clouds, with the north wind rushing to the south, in the sky, occasionally revealing a corner of the blue sky, soon covered by cumulus clouds, the visibility is not high.
In such weather, the routine training of the Seventh Air Force of the Japanese Army on Okinawa Island was also cancelled, and even the fighters that routinely conducted routine patrols within a radius of 500 kilometers of Okinawa Island did not take to the air to patrol at the usual time.
It is no longer the original period of complete victory, the fighting spirit is high, and the spirit is gone, the courage is gone, and there is an atmosphere of defeat everywhere, and the more than 40 fighters that were lucky enough to run back make the empty airfield seem more and more deserted, although the mainland has added a fighter wing, and the number of fighters on Okinawa Island has reached more than 110, but it is no longer possible to restore the size of FΓΉ.
Second Lieutenant Yokota Noji, who was the commander of the anti-air observation post today, was not in a good mood early in the morning, and in the high-powered telescope, he looked at the sprinting clouds for a while, monotonous and boring, listlessly at the dining table, and ate a boring breakfast with a few cans brought by the orderly, thinking about the events of last night.
"That damn squadron leader, if you have a chance, you must shoot a black gun in his back" Yokota gritted his teeth and thought, just because when he saw him, the salute was not standard, and he immediately accused himself of contempt for his boss, scolded himself for not counting, and ate a few big slaps, Yokota knew what the root cause was, when the two were in Yokohama High School, they both had a crush on a female classmate, and it was a relationship between rivals.
For this reason, there is no less secret competition, Yokota is a family legend of karate masters, the result can be imagined, unexpectedly, after joining the army, first assigned to this fart island, in addition to the vast sea, not even a woman can be seen, and then transferred to the hands of the rival in love, as the captain of the squad, what a tragedy, the rival in love got the opportunity, and did not declare personal vendettas, Yokota's life began to be difficult.
A private, probably a raw melon egg, was at the door, but he made a move in his voice, "Report to the squad leader, the observation post reports, in the direction of the northwest China continent, there seems to be a large aircraft group, flying in this direction, the sentry commander asked the squad leader to immediately verify with his superiors, if there is no our aircraft group passing in this area, then it is very likely that the Chinese aircraft are coming to attack!" βββ
