……

Li Cheng, the command center of the temporary tele-reconnaissance unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Ding Wei was touching his big nose and wanted to scold depressedly.

This rare time to make such a big move in Licheng was the first confrontation between the aviation unit secretly built by the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese air unit.

Who doesn't want to join in the fun on the front line and see for yourself the wonderful showdown between our Eighth Route Army Aviation Unit and the Japanese Flying Team?

As a result, he was stunned and was arranged in the electric detection command center to be responsible for unified scheduling.

Speaking of Ding Wei's position, the pressure on his body is no less than Kong Jie in the Air Defense Front Command and Li Yunlong in the long-range anti-aircraft artillery group command.

On the one hand, he had to command the hounds of radio reconnaissance and jamming shielding.

On the one hand, he also had to command the electric reconnaissance and radar units distributed in the base areas around Licheng.

On the one hand, it also serves as a battlefield communication center, liaises with the flight team, reports the movements of the devil air force, and transmits the distribution location of the devil flight team in various airspaces to the front-line air defense command.

This was also the first attempt of the Eighth Route Army, in which the coordinated operation of the electric reconnaissance radar unit and the ground air defense unit was carried out.

"But what happens at the end of the day? After this battle was brilliant, what people remember is how the commander of the detachment sat in the front-line air defense command and commanded how wonderful.

What I remember is the shock of Li Yunlong's command of the long-range anti-aircraft artillery group to launch an anti-aircraft fire counterattack.

But who can remember me Ding Wei?

We have done so much dedication behind the scenes, but in the end, it has fulfilled him Kong Erzi and Li Datou.

Who do I go to? ”

Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion, was relieved on the side, "Commander, if you feel wronged, after this battle, you ask Commander Li and Captain Kong to invite you to drink!" ”

Ding Wei pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's a must, they have to ask me to drink as much as I want, I deserve it." ”

"Then again, who made us the third-in-command of Huasheng Company! This is a part-time job for the first and second in command, and there is no way to do it. ”

"This fucking Lao Li, let's not talk about Lao Kong, the founder of Huasheng Company, no one has anything to say to be the number one, but why did he Lao Li run in front of me and become the second in command!"

Sun Zhenguo smiled helplessly, he really didn't know how to be relieved now.

……

Licheng Front Air Defense Command.

Listening to the constant explosions outside the bomb shelter, even the headquarters in the stable bomb shelter looked a little shaky under such power.

The generals at the command headquarters looked at each other, and there was emotion in their eyes.

"This little devil's aviation unit is really powerful!"

At this time, Commander Chen of the Southern Hebei Military Region, who also rushed to join in the excitement and was in the front-line air defense headquarters, sighed even more: "Over the years, our guerrilla tactics have been used well, so that the devils have never been able to lock on our main force.

If this is really a face-to-face positional battle, not to mention the devil's artillery superiority, once the Japanese army smashes down such a degree of aerial firepower, we have a army, and it is estimated that we will have to be reimbursed.

Air supremacy, air supremacy, once there is no air supremacy, this battle is really not fought! ”

The generals thought so.

Especially since the May Day sweep of the Japanese army ended in a fiasco.

The weakness of the Japanese army has gradually become apparent.

When talking about the battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, the soldiers first scolded the confusion of the general's command system.

Originally, according to the deployment of Chiang's army, layers of blockade were launched on the outer line of Quzhou, constantly consuming the momentum and sharpness of the Japanese army's attack, and there were even famous Whampoa generals like Zhang Lingzong who led the elite to fight to the death.

By the time the Japanese army finally entered Quzhou with great difficulty, its sharpness had basically been lost.

At this time, if Chiang's army could concentrate its forces and use its absolute superiority in strength to launch a decisive battle in the Quzhou area, it would not necessarily be impossible to end the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi with a final victory.

Completely repelled the Japanese army.

and even to keep the airports in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region.

However, a ridiculous order was issued - to avoid the decisive battle of Quzhou!

It's like the soldiers have sharpened their knives, and they are about to cut the machete to the devil's neck, but an order comes down to let everyone take away the knife, and the success is broken, and it is too late to regret it!

In this regard, when most of the generals sighed with emotion, there were also some generals who held other views.

For example, the long-term deputy chief of general staff pointed out in a different way on the battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi: "In this battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, although the Jiang army was quite confused due to the confusion of command and the lack of unity between the upper and lower levels.

But even so, the Japanese still paid a heavy price for casualties.

According to the information received by our front, the Japanese army suffered more than 20,000 casualties in the multi-day bloody battle outside Quzhou Airport.

From this, it can be seen that the forces of the little devils are already going downhill.

The elite of their troops is gradually decreasing, and their combat effectiveness is gradually declining.

On the other hand, the equipment level of our Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly, the size of the team is getting larger and larger, the experience of fighting the Japanese army is becoming more and more abundant, and the number of elite troops is also increasing.

Under the influence of one another, comrades, I think we are not far from the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance! ”

But from another point of view.

Even if the Japanese army fought on multiple fronts, it was the Pacific Theater, and the Southeast Asian Theater, and in the Battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, the combat troops invested by the Japanese army were definitely much less elite than those invested in the Battle of Songhu.

But it still won the early victory of the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

Why?

One of the important factors was the absolute air supremacy of the Japanese army.

Including the May Day sweep set off by the Japanese army, if it were not for the Eighth Route Army's side arranging various troops in advance to carry out a sneak attack on the devil's airport, resulting in the devil's aviation unit not being able to give full play to its advantages.

It is simply impossible for the base areas to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.

Kong Jie was even more deeply touched by the importance of air supremacy, otherwise he would not have been so enthusiastic about the construction of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit.

Naturally, you have to say something about it, otherwise it will seem that you will have the ambition of a devil and destroy the prestige of the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of the wanton bombardment of the Japanese air force over Licheng.

Commander Kong, who was in the air defense headquarters, said domineeringly: "Bomb it, blow it up, I want to see how many shells this little devil has, the devil is really capable, so he blew me up the stable bomb shelter that we specially built with a reinforced concrete structure!"

When the ammunition carried by the devil's fighter plane is almost exhausted, the time for us to counterattack will come! ”

In addition, according to the observations of the forward air defense observation posts.

When the devil's bomber group was bombing, the escort fighters were not less, and it was obvious that the little devil had been on guard against the sneak attack of the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army!

"Maybe the devil is using this as bait to lure our aviation forces to attack, so as to destroy our aviation forces!"

Kong Jie made his own inference.

……

Lai Cheng area.

The unprecedented firepower of the Japanese and Chinese flying units is still going on.

The central area of Lai Cheng has been bombed almost beyond recognition.

The Japanese sent three whole groups of bomber units in one go, and with the fighters on both flanks as escorts, they launched one round after another to attack the city of Li with almost ploughed fire.

Among them, advanced bombers such as the Japanese Type 97 heavy bombers carry an astonishing amount of explosives, and a bomber can even carry 1,000 kilograms of explosives.

During the continuous bombardment that lasted for more than an hour, the Japanese dropped a large number of aerial bombs in the Licheng area, including 50 kg of small aerial bombs, as well as 100 kg, even 150 kg, and 200 kg of medium aerial bombs.

In addition, there are aviation incendiary bombs specially used by the Japanese army in order to burn Li Cheng to a scorched earth.

According to rough estimates, the number of aerial bombs and incendiary bombs of various types dropped by the Japanese army in the Licheng area in more than an hour with the use of dozens of bombers has exceeded 500.

For this data, the soldiers lurking in Li Cheng have special statistics.

At the same time.

A detachment of secret aviation bases, temporary command.

At this time, the pilots of a detachment led by Doolittle were analyzing the consumption of ammunition carried by the Japanese flying units in the temporary headquarters with the help of the relevant information transmitted by the Li Cheng side.

"According to the types of Japanese bombers, Type 97 bombers, Type 99 dive bombers, Type 92 heavy bombers, etc., ......"

Doolittle had a string of data in his hand.

That is the relevant data of various fighters and bombers belonging to the Japanese army.

The most striking thing is that there are even some design parameters that the devils need to build these aircraft.

As for the maximum bomb load that these Japanese fighters can carry at one time after they are manufactured, such as bombers, it is even more clearly recorded.

This is precisely the special soft power of the first independent detachment in the northwest of Shanxi Province, in addition to the economic and military capabilities that are revealed on the surface.

At the beginning, Kong Jie used the design drawings of the most advanced Zero aircraft of the Japanese army obtained from the system, and obtained a lot of materials and cooperation projects from John.

The corresponding data of some Japanese aircraft is well understood, so it is not a problem.

Doolittle was actually shocked by this.

Even with their powerful intelligence agency of the U.S. military, in fact, there is not much relevant information about Japanese fighters collected from the Japanese army.

Kong Jie has such detailed information about various types of Japan's most advanced fighters, even including various design parameters.

It's incredible.

Kong Jie's explanation for this is also simple, it is Duan Peng and the others who accidentally seized these drawings in the devil's data room after they attacked the Japanese airfield.

It was also with the help of these drawings that the detachment successfully made corresponding improvements and modifications to the captured Japanese-style aircraft.

With the help of this data and intelligence, Doolittle quickly made a judgment: "The bombers designed by the Japanese army were often not too large in order to maintain the maneuverability and flexibility of the aircraft.

In order to launch an air raid on Licheng, the Japanese army also specially transferred some fighters from other theaters, similar to the Japanese Type 99 and Type 97 dive bombers, which had a very small bomb load and were often only suitable for close-range air raids.

Therefore, it is estimated according to the relevant situation detected in Li Cheng.

The bombs they carried, plus the fuel consumption, were basically exhausted in less than two hours at most. ”

This is the pattern that Doolittle came up with in the continuous bombing of the Japanese army.

Li Cheng.

Front-line air defense command.

Kong Jie, who received the news from Doolittle, was also discussing the matter with the generals.

Kong Jie proposed: "The devils launched plough-type air raids on the Li Cheng area, and their bombers carried a limited amount of ammunition.

In this way, if the little devils want to carry out continuous bombing, they must have a corresponding secret temporary airfield as a supply depot to replenish ammunition nearby.

I think that if we want to deal with the devil's aviation unit this time, we must start from three ideas.

On the one hand, it took advantage of the fact that the Japanese fighters were almost running out of ammunition to launch ground-to-air operations.

On the other hand, the aviation unit led by Lao Du and them can find an opportunity to raid the flying unit of the devil.

In addition, our reconnaissance troops have to find a way to explore the surrounding areas of Li Cheng in advance, especially the relevant situation of the various airports corresponding to the Japanese army.

We must hurry up and find out where these fighters and bombers are hiding after this little devil launched an air raid on Li Cheng! ”

As for the current response within Laicheng:

"One, launch a counterattack with 1/5 of the anti-air force we have exposed, and paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army! Premise: Avoid the edge of the Japanese flying troops, and seize the gap between the bombing of the devil's bombers to counterattack.

Second, after the temporary retreat of the devil's bombardment, the emergency repair and fire rush troops that we prepared in advance quickly attacked, seized the time to repair the air defense fortifications, and extinguished the fire caused by the devil's incendiary bombs in time. ”

Kong Jie has also been prepared for this.

It was early thought that the devils would carry out an air attack on Li Cheng, and even dropped incendiary bombs.

The soldiers took advantage of the large number of people to carry out secret renovations in Licheng and other areas at night, on the one hand, they prepared some water sources and some fire extinguishing equipment in advance.

On the other hand, flammable materials are divided into areas and isolation zones are set up in advance.

In order to ensure that after the Japanese bombers dropped the incendiary bombs, even if a fire was ignited, the fire would not spread quickly and affect the whole city.

"With this tactic, let's fight a tug-of-war with the little devil's flying troops!"

"The devil's plane flew over, and our team immediately turned into the air-raid shelter, and after the devil's plane flew away, we immediately came out to repair and grab the fire."

"If you drag it down like this, the fuel that dragged it to his little devil's aviation base is about to run out, and the ammunition is about to run out, let's seize the opportunity to fight back!"

Not only that, but some fake warehouses and bases were specially built inside Li Cheng to cover the actions of ground troops and attract the air raid firepower of devils.

Everything is in order.

For the devil pilots who carry out air raid missions.

The Eighth Route Army in the Licheng area was quite tenacious, and the anti-aircraft fire did not stop for a moment, and after they threw incendiary bombs in front, they saw a large number of Eighth Route Army troops rushing to extinguish the fire in the interior of Licheng.

The two sides seem to be consumed like this, you come and go.

The time quickly came to the next afternoon.

Things are finally changing......
