Chapter 433, Military Parade
Today, Stuka dropped the latest sub-bomb of the Shandong Group Army's air force. The submunitions, also known as the "submunitions", weigh about 250 kilograms each, and each Stuka can carry three submunitions.
Today is the first performance of this kind of sub-munition, when the sub-munition falls to a distance of about 100 meters from the ground, the "touch" of the sub-munition splits into several small bombs, scattered to a wider range, and when the small bomb is three to fifty meters above the ground, the small bomb suddenly sends out crackling firecrackers, and countless small marbles rush to the ground at a rapid speed.
The pilots who were originally running towards the plane were hit by these scattered steel balls one after another, and they fell to the ground one by one screaming. As for the planes parked on the runway, although they appear to be intact at first glance, a closer look reveals that they have long been riddled with holes. It is said that this Tokyo base camp
"Nani? Dalian airport was destroyed! One hundred and twenty-three fighters and thirty-seven bombers were destroyed on the airfield! Yaga Yalu, Tada Jun is a fool, why didn't he go disemboweled! "Prince Jaein of the Xianyuan Palace is furious.
"Do you know how much the empire produces every year now, Chengde Airport was bombed, all the planes were destroyed, how long will it take for the empire to make up for this loss?" Under the anger of Prince Zairen, several staff officers in the base camp stood trembling and silent, allowing Prince Zairen's saliva to spray on his face, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.
After a burst of anger, Prince Zaihito, whose anger had subsided slightly, turned to Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe and Yan Ruise, who had been by his side without saying a word, and said, "Konoe-kun, what do you think of the new Maojiangqiang force in China?" β
I saw the newly appointed prime minister say slowly: "Because the speed at which this Shandong provincial political axe emerged is too fast, we have not specifically studied this issue, but according to my estimates, if this development continues, China will be reunified in the hands of this person in 20 years at the latest, and at the fastest in 10 years." β
"Oh?" Prince Zairen couldn't help but be moved, "Konoe-kun, are you so optimistic about this Shandong Provincial Political Axe?" β
"Yes!" Konoe Fumi's face became serious, and he said, "After studying the situation of the rise of this Shandong Province, we found that the speed of their rise is very amazing. Under the leadership of their leader, Jiang Qiang, they advanced almost at a speed of great strides. Two years ago, he was only a section chief of the Tianjin Police Department, but now he is the commander of a group army. Moreover, this person's surname is very different from other officials and generals in China, and this person's extremely narrow-mindedness can be said to be retribution. The planes of the North China garrison just wanted to fly over Shandong to reconnoitre, so he dispatched hundreds of planes to fight a decisive battle with our imperial air force, and Kojima Nojiro just wanted to send someone to assassinate him, but he immediately sent planes to bomb the Dalian airport, causing the empire to suffer heavy losses. This kind of way of doing things is very inconsistent with the golden mean that the people of China have always pursued. Such a person can only be described as a madman. β
"Crazy?" Prince Zairen's face began to turn hideous, and he muttered, "Then we will destroy this madman." β
"No!" Konoe Fumiji hurriedly stopped: "Your Excellency Prince Zaihito, at present, I say that the strength of this empire in China is only more than 400,000, and if you want to completely destroy the political axe of Shandong Province, you must put all or at least most of the troops in China. In that case, my other interests in China will not be guaranteed, and our cabinet means that it is better to start elsewhere. β
"Yagaya deer! Anti-aircraft artillery hurry up and get into the air defense position! Hurry up and get the plane down from the China! At this time, the commander of the artillery position, Nakamura Taiki Daisa, roared in a loud voice on the anti-aircraft artillery position.
"Oda-kun, Your Excellency Osa has let us enter the position! Let's hurry up and get into position! A soldier glanced at Junichiro Oda and said timidly.
"Yaga, you idiot, do you want to kill everyone?" Junichiro Oda scolded his head, "I saw the planes coming from the people just now, there are hundreds of them, do you think we can shoot them all down with just a few of our anti-aircraft guns?" We can only die in vain if we run up now, and we have to keep our useful bodies to serve the emperor better, you know? β
"Hey! Thank you Oda for your advice! "Well, the children can be taught!" Junichiro Oda nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Pay attention to the sound of the artillery outside, and wait until the sound of the artillery stops before we enter the position." β
"Hey! Thank you Oda for your advice. "As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears, and under the leadership of Junichiro Oda, his soldiers will naturally not be afraid of death.
As soon as the explosion of the "dong dong dong" sub-munition sounded, the antiaircraft artillery of the Yue army had already opened fire, and from this point of view, the Yue army was still well-trained.
As soon as the anti-aircraft guns arranged near the airport opened fire, Stuka, who was hovering over the airport, was like a hungry wolf smelling blood, and pounced on the anti-aircraft artillery positions one after another.
"Bumper" a barrel-like sub-munition bomb was dropped in the sky above the anti-aircraft artillery position, and Nakamura Taiki Daisa, who saw Stuka dropping bombs indiscriminately, laughed: "The people of China are too timid, and they are so afraid of death even throwing bombs, how can such a bomb hit the target!" β
Before he finished speaking, a series of muffled sounds of "bumper and bumper" were heard, and the bombs dropped by Stuka burst at a low altitude of about 100 meters, splitting into many small bomblets, which dispersed over the anti-aircraft artillery positions and continued to fall.
"Nani! What is this? Looking at Nakamura Daiki Daisa, who had split out many small bombs, a sense of foreboding swelled in his heart, but unfortunately it was too late, and the small bombs that had dropped to a height of fifty meters exploded one after another, and countless small steel balls devoured all the soldiers in the artillery position, including Nakamura Daiki, in an instant.
At high altitude, the B17 Flying Fortress lowered its altitude after receiving a report that the anti-aircraft artillery had been cleared, and began to rain high-explosive bombs and submunitions on the airfield.
Since the runway of the military airfield was ravaged by Stuka with sub-bombs at the beginning of the attack, the current anti-aircraft aircraft could not take off at all, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions were also screened by Stuka with sub-bombs, and now there are very few anti-aircraft guns that can still open artillery.
When the massive flying fortresses lowered their altitude and began to drop bombs like hens laying eggs, the remaining soldiers could only look helplessly at the sky and curse loudly.
The barracks, hangars, ammunition depots, oil depots and all other valuable places at the Dalian airport were patronized by the B-17. Tons of bombs were scattered on the airfield like beans by the Flying Fortresses.
The bombing lasted for half an hour, and it was not until the bombs were dumped that the flying fortresses swaggered away under the cover of the P-47s, leaving behind the devastated Dalian airport. In this battle, the 123 fighters and 37 bombers that the army had stopped at the Dalian airport were completely destroyed.
As a result, after these wars, the air power of the North China Garrison Army, which had not been replenished after the major air battles, had almost lost all of its air power.
Looking at the airport that had become a ruin, the airport garrison commander desperately raised his command knife and stabbed it into his lower abdomen.
In the war room of the North China Garrison Army Headquarters, a sharp telephone rang in a sharp manner.
"Moxi Moxi, this is the North China Garrison Army Headquarters, what's the matter? Nani? Dalian airport bombed? All the planes destroyed? β
Tada Jun, who was discussing the situation in Rehe with the chief of staff next to him, heard the staff officer's gaffe scream, and his body couldn't help but shake, and the pencil in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
Just after Tada Jun heard the news of the bombing of Chengde Airport, Jiang Qiang, the initiator of all this, accompanied the bigwigs to the city gate tower. Looking at the crowd of people below, all the bigwigs couldn't help but exclaim: "This square is very good, it is comparable to the square in Beiping." β
Listening to everyone's praise, someone rarely humbled himself, saying that these were the merits of the Chahar army and people, and he didn't dare to take credit.
At this time, the British Minister Mr. Wilson and the American Minister Lance. Mr. Kirkbright and the ministers of France, Italy, Germany, and other countries, accompanied by their military attachΓ©s, also ascended the gatehouse. The Shandong Army's military parade this time has indeed alarmed many countries, and they have all submitted requests to the Shandong Provincial Political Axe to visit the military parade ceremony, and some ministers even arrived in a hurry by plane this morning, which shows that the rise of the Shandong Army has alarmed those old countries.
At 2 p.m., the parade began on time. At the beginning of the military parade, Jiang Qiang confessed and went downstairs first. After a while, two open-top cars drove in front of the city gate tower, and the car drove all the way to the city gate tower, and it was Jiang Qiang who stood in a car behind him, and he saluted the chairman of the committee and said solemnly: "Report to the chairman, the Shandong Provincial Group Army has now completed the formation, please review, reporter, Jiang Qiang, commander of the Shandong Group Army." β
Jiang Qiang's words were transmitted in all directions through the microphone on the car, which made the committee members standing on the city gate tower feel a light on their faces, and they went down to the city gate tower under the envious eyes of everyone.
After the chairman went down to the city gate tower, he got into an open-top car under the guidance of the staff on the side, and after getting into the car, the car slowly drove in the direction of the troops being paraded in the square, and Jiang Qiang's car followed closely.
When the chairman's car drove in front of the troops under review and waved his hand, the troops under the leadership of the captain shouted: "Hello chairman! The sound was like thunder, and even those who were far away in the city gate tower could hear it clearly.
The chairman of the committee, who heard this at first, jumped down and held his hand on the handrail of the car to stabilize his figure. This small action is not clear to others, but Jiang Qiang, who is following closely, can see it very clearly, although he is smiling secretly in his heart, he still has to pretend to be serious on his face.
Jiang Qiang accompanied the chairman of the committee to walk around the parade troops, and it took about 10 minutes to return to the city gate. This time, Jiang Qiang got out of the car first, helped the chairman open the car door, and accompanied him to the city gate.
After the chairman of the committee stood still, Jiang Qiang came to the microphone set up in the middle and shouted into the microphone: "The pacesetter is out of the ranks!" β
Following Jiang Qiang's order, twelve soldiers in dark green dresses took the lead in walking to the center of the square, holding rifles. These twelve soldiers have been carefully selected, and each of them is one meter seven or eight tall, not tall or short. This figure has also been strictly calculated by later generations, and it is exactly in line with us Chinese.
The rifles in the hands of these pacesetters were all bayonets, and the snow-white bayonets glistened in the sunlight, making them even more powerful.
The actions of these pacesetters attracted the attention of millions of people in the square, and also aroused the admiration and admiration of the bigwigs on the city gate, whether it was foreign ministers or domestic bigwigs. Every move of Guy looks so new, and it is different from the actions of any other country's army in the world at present.
The pacesetters are walking into the field, and these positive steps are different from the German swan step, the British high leg lift, and the stone kicking action, giving people a completely different but feeling so chic. This also amazed the ministers and military attaches of various countries, and the successive victories said that these soldiers walked very well. Listening to the praise of those ghosts, Jiang Qiang's heart was indeed beautiful, and he thought that it was indeed not in vain that his buddies worked hard.
When the first soldier came to the place where there was a small white dot, the soldier stopped, stopped, stood upright, turned around, and raised his gun. This seems to be a simple action, but at this moment, the soldier's body is full of capability, toughness and masculinity, seeing this, the crowd on the scene can't help but admire.
"That's what you do." "It's so pretty." "Okay, pure masters!"
However, people also don't understand, that is, why every movement of the pacesetter is so slow, especially the walking action is very special, for fear that people can't understand it, and demonstrate each action very clearly!
But it doesn't matter, people just need to feel the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the pacesetters!
After a while, the twelve pacesetters stood up at once, and all of them lined up in a straight line. After they were lined up, they stood motionless, like statues standing on the square, so solid as a rock, as if they could stop all the storms.
The glittering bayonet was so dazzling in the midday sun, as if it represented the sacrosanct majesty of the soldiers. None of the onlookers spoke, as if they were intimidated by the solemn atmosphere, and the square of millions of people was silent.
The ministers and military attaches of various countries on the tower of the city gate are also well-informed, but they have never seen a military parade ceremony so solemn and solemn as the prelude.
After seeing the pacesetter stand up, Su Tong took a deep breath and shouted into the microphone: "The parade ceremony, the column, begins!" β
As Su Tong's words fell, the loudspeaker placed in the square immediately played high-pitched music, "Forward forward, forward, our team is facing the sun and stepping on the land of the motherland." As the music played, the sound of neat footsteps came from afar.
The first phalanx to come was the honor guard of the three armed forces of the Shandong Provincial Military Region, and as the first phalanx to walk through the city gate tower, they undoubtedly received the greatest attention. And their phalanx was also different from the other phalanx, which was sixty-two, but their phalanx was sixty-four.
The composition of the other phalanxes was twelve times five, plus the two officers walking in the front row, making a total of sixty-two, but in front of the honor guard of the three armies, two standard-bearers were added in front, making a total of sixty-four.
The two standard-bearers at the forefront of the phalanx undoubtedly attracted the greatest attention, and under the sunshine, the two flags that were advancing against the west wind fluttering in the wind were fluttering in the wind, clearly reflecting the red flag of the blue sky and the white ground and the hideous flag of the Shandong Army on a white background. At this time, people seemed to have the illusion that they felt a huge force from these two flags, and this force was so great that it would crush all the obstacles in its way.
Of course, this feeling can only be understood and not spoken, but it is indeed transmitted from this banner to everyone's hearts.
The mental outlook of a unit often determines its combat effectiveness, and they can see at a glance that the people who can stand on the tower of the city gate are not well-informed figures, and what the mental outlook of a troop is. And the honor guard in front of them gave them the feeling that they were so full of vitality, as if the rising sun was so dazzling.
"Zhengbu!" "Let's go!" When they reached the first white line, the captain of the team shouted loudly.
Following the captain's order, the soldiers took off the rifles on their shoulders and changed them to hold the guns on their sides, with the muzzle pointing diagonally upwards and horizontally to the left side of their bodies. The cold bayonets were less than ten centimeters away from the soldiers in front, and at the same time, their steps were changed to a straight step, their steps were raised high, and they fell forcefully, and the military shoes on their feet stepped neatly on the concrete-paved ground, making a snapping and neat sound.
The applause of "Bang Bang Bang Bang" rang out like an earth, and nearly a million onlookers couldn't help but applaud. "Okay, great!" "It's spectacular!"
At this moment, there are no words that can match the mood of the people, this feeling is so shocking, the ministers of the countries on the city gate tower could not help but applaud, how have they ever seen such a shocking and spectacular column. Except for Minister Ito Ichiro, his face at this time can be as beautiful as the white marble sculpture downstairs of the city gate.
When the phalanx reached the front of the city gate tower, all the soldiers on the city gate tower raised their hands and saluted at the same time. All the people present believed that this was the most shocking scene they had ever seen in their lives, and that neat steps and glittering sword light would remain in their hearts for the rest of their lives, even if it was the last moment of their lives.
The honor guards of the first phalanx did not return to their normal pace until they reached the second white line. When the first phalanx walked to the second white line, the second phalanx also happened to go.
At this time, the voice of the narrator sounded from the loudspeaker in the square: "Walking in the second phalanx is a team of heroes of our Shandong Group Army, whether they are in the battle against the invaders in this country or in the bitterly cold Siberia and the fighting of the Soviet Russian army, they are worthy of the title of people's defenders!" They are our heroic First Infantry Division of the Shandong Military Region, and today they have also rushed back from the Texas front! β
A deafening burst of applause rang out in the square, and the people welcomed the arrival of this heroic unit with the warmest applause. "Walking" "Let's go!" β
With the command of the leading officer, the phalanx of the 1st Division immediately kicked up. Although their pace was not as neat as the honor guard of the first phalanx, the murderous aura that came out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses made it clear to even the people who did not understand military affairs that this was an elite army that had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The foreign ministers and military attachΓ©s applauded while secretly paying attention to the expressions of the other ministers, and although the other ministers also applauded with ceremonial surnames, their stiff movements and somewhat pale faces betrayed his mood.
"Friends and guests, the troops of the third phalanx coming to us now are the heroic aviation units of our Shandong Province, they have shown a heroic and fearless spirit in the battle to defend our country's airspace, and they were outnumbered in the air battle to defend Jiaodong a few days ago, and they destroyed 387 planes of the Yue army at the cost of losing 125 fighters, and achieved brilliant results, let us cheer for them!" With the narrator's explanation, the people's mood reached a climax, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.
"Friends, the two phalanxes that are coming to us now are the cadet phalanx of our Jiaodong Military Academy Army Military Academy and the infantry phalanx of the Armored Forces Academy. They will be an important reserve supplement to our army, and they will continue to cultivate fresh blood for our army. β
After the two student phalanx walked by, a female phalanx with cross armbands came from behind, and they came over one by one in good spirits. "Oh, how come there are still female soldiers?" "Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" "Ladies and gentlemen, the female students of our newly established Jiaodong Medical College are coming over now, their task is to save lives on the battlefield, and they have proved their value on various battlefields with practical actions."
"Oh, Florence of China. Nightingale, it's amazing! "Does China also have its own medical school?" Hearing all kinds of discussions present, Jiang Qiang smiled slyly, this medical school was after he grinded the director of the First Hospital, Dr. Wang Yingqing, for a long time before he agreed to the position of dean of the medical school.
When the infantry phalanx passed one after another, there was a rumbling steel monster behind it, and the Tiger tanks drove up, and the narrator's voice sounded again: "Now we are driving the troops of our First Armored Division, they are equipped with our newly developed Tiger tank, this tank is our newly developed new tank, his power has been tested in Jiaodong battlefield, we can proudly tell you that it is currently the best tank in the world." Our fighters affectionately call it the 'Northwest Tiger' tank. β
When the 'Northwest Tiger' tank drove over, Jiang Qiang found that the eyes of the ministers and military attaches of all countries had changed, and it was a mixture of amazement, envy, and vigilance.
Then, after looking at the artillery and air defense units that were coming one after another, a large black cloud flew into the sky. It wasn't until they flew closer that it became clear that it was a large swarm.
This group of more than 100 planes, including P-47, P-26, and Stuka, suddenly lowered their altitude when they approached Heroes' Square, and people could clearly see the clear blue sky and white sky and Shandong military marks on the planes.
At this time, there was a powerful force, and this was the first feeling that swelled up in everyone's hearts at this time. And the second feeling is where is this army going? Who controls it?
People's eyes flocked to General Jiang Qiang, the actual owner of Shandong Province and the youngest general in China and the commander of the Shandong Group Army, who stood next to the chairman.
However, as a party concerned, he didn't seem to have this awareness, so he just stood aside, quietly watching the cheering crowd below silently. After more than an hour, the military parade ceremony finally ended, and the people who had been excited were dispersed in twos and threes, and the ministers of various countries on the tower of the city gate were also gathering together to greet each other.
