120. Changing defenses
"Hah!"
Seeing the information sent by his head, Qin Lang laughed excitedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, this time the luck of the special operations detachment was so good, and an ammunition depot was detonated at once. The naval aviation transferred by those devils was completely lost before the war began.
The army also suffered heavy losses, and the two brigades of the 8th Division, which had just changed trains to prepare for Changchun, were suddenly sent to the sky by a shock wave, and it is said that the entire army was almost wiped out.
"Commander, the snow has stopped, all the bombers of the Air Force have flown over Benxi, this time the target is Anton, and they must hit their railway station and port all hard."
Qin Lang frowned.
"No fighter escort?"
The staff man shook his head.
"Nope!"
There are several fighters at hand, all with a range of about 500 km. And the distance from Mukden to Andong is about 220 km, and in a bad climate, fighters cannot fly so far.
And the Portez 33 bomber has a range of 800 km, which is quite capable of going back and forth in such weather.
"Drop tank!"
Qin Lang had something in his mind, which could be used by almost all fighter jets in later generations.
"Make a fuel tank out of aluminum?"
This is definitely not going to work.
The bauxite used in the Red Zone had to be imported from the Soviet Union, and now trade with them has stopped, and the raw materials are only used in the original stocks.
Another is the capacity of the aluminum plant, which requires a lot of electricity to produce, and the power plant in the red zone is still under construction, and I am afraid that it will not be until the end of the year to solve the problem of power shortage.
Almost all of the aluminum produced was put into the engine factory, and Cheng Facai also reported every day to increase production. If you get an aluminum fuel tank, I'm afraid he'll hit the door.
"And what do you use to make the auxiliary fuel tank?"
Qin Lang's brows couldn't help but receive it.
Before you know it, time flies by until someone turns on the lights in the room and realizes that it is completely dark.
"Commander, it's time to eat!"
Hearing Wang Bangcai's voice, Qin Lang came back to his senses. But when he saw the steamer in front of him, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Woven from bamboo!"
After the all-out Anti-Japanese War, the Flying Tigers also faced the problem of shortage of auxiliary fuel tanks, and the final solution was to use bamboo strips to make them.
The production process is quite simple, after weaving the shape with bamboo strips, filling all the gaps with a mixture of lime, pig blood and flax, and then brushing with tung oil to dry, a secondary fuel tank is produced.
For safety, another layer of bamboo strips needs to be wrapped outside. This is the use of an oil pump to pressurize, and the auxiliary fuel tank will not burst.
"Haha!"
Solving the problem of the auxiliary fuel tank, how to suspend the fighter is simple. All this is as long as a bomb pylons are installed.
"Send someone to send this to the Zhangye Aircraft Factory and tell the engineers to use the oil from the auxiliary tank first."
Wang Bangcai picked up the sketch in confusion and left the office in a hurry.
Qin Lang ate something casually and came to the headquarters again.
"Commander, the bombers went back and forth to Anton several times today, dropping a total of six tons of bombs and two tons of incendiary bombs. The last time the devil's navy came to intercept it, but the bombers were already empty, and they didn't catch up. ”
Fighters can't catch up with bombers, it's not new in this era.
Bombers are larger, so they can use more powerful engines, and they tend to be unloaded faster than fighters.
This even caused the naval aviation of the Japanese country to come up with a "theory that fighter planes are useless," and the result was naturally that they were beaten all over the ground and looked for teeth.
And the commanders who held this view, if they had not been lucky, would have been cleaned up by the fighters of the People's Air Force.
"Commander, reports the 26th Special Operations Group. After nightfall, the Andong side was on fire, the port wharf and station exploded continuously, the air base had been completely abandoned, and it was said that there were poisonous gas bombs in the ammunition depot. ”
Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Anton is currently the devil's largest logistics supply base, and after such a heavy blow, the devil may only be on the defensive in a short period of time.
"Withdraw the three battalions that were blocking in front of the devils, and the troops behind quickly went up to consolidate their positions. Inform the 1st Guards Brigade to prepare for battle. ”
Hearing this order, the staff officers couldn't help but rejoice on their faces, but they hadn't turned around and left yet.
"For those who don't get out of the field, I'm only going to give five minutes. If they can't turn the corner, let the gendarmes arrest them directly, and first put them in a confinement room to calm them down. The brigade commanders must go to the scene and be held accountable if they fail to complete their tasks. ”
"Yes!"
The three battalions on the position were already dead and wounded, and it would be difficult for those commanders to accept replacing them at this time.
But Qin Lang didn't have time to waste it on them, his opponent was Ishihara Wan'er after all, who knew what tricks he had waiting for him.
Sure enough, the commander of the 461st battalion, who received the order, shouted loudly:
"Lao Tzu won't go down!"
In the battle that day, the 2nd and 3rd companies under his command took advantage of the chaos of the devils to kill them, but they never returned.
And the devil was also killed, and he barely launched an attack at noon the next day. Although it was wiped out a lot by the air force and artillery, it was still inseparable from a series of killings.
In the end, the commander of the 461st battalion rushed forward with the rest of the men and fought hand-to-hand combat with the devils again, before finally holding the position, but there were only about 20 people left in the entire battalion.
If it weren't for the successive heavy snowfalls, I'm afraid their results would have been the same as those of the 463 battalion.
"Halberd!"
The commander of the 461st battalion shouted:
"Even if it is a halberd, Lao Tzu will also guard here. This land was dyed red by my brother, and you killed me, and you will not go down today. ”
The commander of the 116 brigade pointed to his nose and said:
"Don't mess with me! The fighters of the 461 battalion are not just your brothers, they are mine. I still have the 463 battalion, and they died right in front. ”
Speaking of this, he grabbed the commander of the 461 battalion and dragged him outside the command post.
"Open your eyes and see, the front of you is still burning, where are more than a thousand brothers of Lao Tzu. It's been four days, and I can't even get the body back. ”
The eyes of the commander of the 461st battalion were red again, and he shouted with a crying voice:
"Give me two companies of men and horses, and I can still hold this place. Brigade commander, for the sake of sacrificing comrades, you just let me continue to guard! ”
The brigade commander shouted:
"Believe in your comrades! Now I order you to get out, the task of the 461 battalion is to receive reinforcements and restore combat effectiveness within four months. The next time she encounters an enemy, she dares to rush up, it's not her mother squatting on the ground and crying like a girl. ”
The commander of the 461st battalion stood up and yelled viciously at the devil's position:
"Little devil, you owe me the lives of a thousand brothers, waiting for the day when Lao Tzu comes back and asks for it. Walk! ”
Looking at them faltering, the brigade commander shook his head.
"462 battalion, I won't say much about the mission, it's nailed here, even if it's the last person, you are not allowed to leave without an order."
The commander of the 462nd battalion replied in a loud voice:
"Yes, the 462nd battalion is guaranteed to complete the mission!"
