And in Zhaoyuan. Jiang Qiang smiled. Now that the major powers in World War II have all taken the stage, and the basic pattern of World War II has been formed, it is also his turn to exert force. While the Germans launched the Barbarossa Plan until the Battle of Kiev began, and the Japanese set off a frenzy that swept Southeast Asia after hibernation, Jiang Qiang was not idle. He has not only been making a fortune in silence, but has also been strengthening his armaments.

At this moment, Jiang Qiang is in possession of six fully manned group armies, and these six group armies alone have a total of 18 integrated infantry divisions and six tank brigades directly under their jurisdiction, all of which are equipped with semi-automatic and automatic weapons, and have a full set of tanks, towed heavy artillery, military trucks, and heavy engineering vehicles.

Not to mention, Jiang Qiang also has the pair of aces of the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Airborne Division. Zhou Hao's 1st Armored Division is simply the most ferocious monster on the Asian battlefield, with the fastest advance, defensive capability, and firepower second to none, invincible, just like the ancient heavy armored cavalry, it is a one-sided slaughter against any infantry! And Jiang Qiang also secretly sent an additional secret combat unit to this armored division to act as a new trump card force in his hands, so as to break through the enemy's imagination on the battlefield and once again form a situation like a bamboo.

Liu Guanghua's 1st Airborne Division has been transferred to the Air Force and has become a division-level combat unit alongside the 1st Air Division and the 2nd Air Division. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the division is needless to say, all the soldiers of the division are selected from the reconnaissance strength of the front-line combat units, and the combat effectiveness is quite terrible when gathered together, and it is equipped with a full set of automatic weapons and equipment, and the equipment is very large, and there are few troops with a pistol per person, and each squad also has a night vision device and a walkie-talkie, which is even more luxurious configuration, even if it is only light infantry, but it is more than enough to deal with the Japanese field troops.

In addition, the independent artillery division has always been the anchor in controlling the direction of the battle from a distance. The most combat-effective units under the jurisdiction of the independent artillery division are two units: one is two rocket artillery battalions with 48 Type 81 122 mm caliber rocket launchers, and the other is a giant artillery regiment with 5 K5 train guns.

In addition, counting Qin Siyu's Tianjin Independent Army, the Japanese anti-fascist brigade (the number has been further expanded), reserve forces, militia troops and all other troops, Jiang Qiang's scale of ground combat troops in his hands alone is close to 600,000 people! And if we include the 1st Air Division, the 2nd Air Division, the Air Force Air Defense Brigade, the Huzi Qingdao Torpedo Boat Regiment, the Submarine Hunting Regiment, and other water and air combat forces, the scale is even larger.

The financial resources that can support such a huge and powerful army are also thanks to Germany, Britain, the United States, Italy, and a large number of other powers, which continue to buy arms from weapons companies in Shanghai, so that Wei Ping's points can soar all the way to rocket launches. Jiang Qiang is satisfied, no wonder the United States in later generations likes to sell arms around the world so much, the arms business is really profitable, these powers have become their own ATMs at the moment, they can continue to brush out enough points, and a million profits, absolutely will not lose!

Jiang Qiang is not a miser, he not only has to make money, but also learn to spend money. Under the superb geographical position of Shandong, the fulcrum connecting the north and south of China, Jiang Qiang was still vigorously supporting the Eighth Route Army in the north and the New Fourth Army in the south to expand the army.

And the weapons he provided were no longer the 38 big covers and crooked handles captured from the Japanese, but all semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles, firearms are still small things, artillery power is the god of war, with the support of Wei Ping, the rich man of the land, the battalion level is equipped with 82 mm mortars, the regiment level is equipped with 120 mm mortars, the brigade level is equipped with 122 mm howitzers, and the division level is directly on 152 mm howitzers, nothing said!

However, considering that the 122-mm heavy artillery and 152-mm heavy artillery need to be towed by trucks, for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which do not have good roads and rugged terrain, they can only barely make do with 107-mm rocket artillery. "Barely make do with 107mm rocket artillery." It was Jiang Qiang's original words. If Okamura Ninji heard this, he was afraid that he would cry and faint in the toilet.

Today, the New Fourth Army has established a regular army combat force of 14 regiments with such an establishment, while the scale of the Eighth Route Army is even larger, with 30 regiments (most of them newly formed regiments and independent regiments) having completed equipment replacement, and they are all large regiments, each regiment has a full strength of 3,000 people, which can be described as a strong army, waiting to launch a new round of 100 regiments battle!

The rest of the regiments are also in the process of rapid rearmament, and in the near future, they will also be able to form a strong combat force. In addition, a large number of captured Japanese-made weapons that were once equipped with the main force, as well as old-fashioned weapons, were distributed to guerrillas, county brigades, and district squads.

However, with the increasing number of small arms provided by Jiang Qiang when he opened his door, the excellent performance of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was soon popularized in the hands of the guerrillas, so soon even the guerrillas looked down on the old sleeves and shotguns of the past.

Looking to the north, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army under the leadership of Yan'an has burned again, and the large number of weapons, radios, medicines, and ammunition left by Wang Yizhe has given the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces a momentum as if they had seen an oasis in the desert. As a result, Umezu Mijiro was angry to see that the Anti-United Nations, which had made the Kwantung Army grit its teeth countless times and wanted to annihilate, and the Anti-United Nations, which had been severely suppressed by himself and forced to withdraw into Heilongjiang, was once again rising unstoppably!

And they developed and grew in a short period of time, and even began to wrestle their wrists in some remote county towns and the Kwantung Army! It's hateful! Where the hell did they get their equipment and resources!

So, from Jiangsu to Shandong, from Shandong to Hebei, from Hebei to Northeast China...... Under the noses of the murderous Japanese army, in the arrogant and unstoppable Japanese army-ruled area, the Japanese army could only vaguely perceive that there were sparks lit everywhere, and there was an undercurrent of anti-Japanese forces surging everywhere.

And these undercurrents seem to be converging into a tsunami, which is about to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Japanese army on the front line of Wuhan like a raging wave, and completely cut it off! Now, however, the Japanese did not perceive the danger in the slightest, and felt that victory was within reach. Yes, the momentum of the Japanese is indeed in full swing now.

Since the Southern Operational Plan, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet and the Army's Southern Army have swept all the way along Southeast Asia, scrapping the US Navy's Pacific Fleet in a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor and destroying the British Navy's Eastern Fleet in Malaysia with an air raid.

And the rest of the enemies are all some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they are not the opponents of Yamamoto Isoroku and Terauchi Shouichi at all. Sure enough, now Malaysia, the Philippines, Guam, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and other large areas have been taken over by Yamamoto Isoroku and Terauchi Shou together.

The weakness of the Japanese army's losses, the abundance of its profits, the expansion of its area, and the strength of its momentum all plunged the whole of Japan into madness. Almost all the Japanese shouted that the Japanese Empire was invincible, that the Imperial Army was invincible, that one was more crazy than the other, that one was more excited than the other, that the men were proud to join the army for foreign aggression, and that the women even took the initiative to dedicate themselves, but felt honored.

And the Japanese army even did the primitive people's deeds, perhaps it was the psychopathology brought about by the birth of short stature, and it was rumored in the Japanese army that eating white man's flesh could greatly replenish the body, so they even began to eat the captured British and American soldiers, and the picture was so cruel that normal people could hardly imagine.

But that's not all, some Japanese soldiers would cut the meat of British and American prisoners of war and marinate them and send them back for their families to taste together, and even send back bones such as skulls, phalanges, and shins, which simply broke through the most basic moral bottom line. In short, the Japanese people today can be described as proud.

The German army was also proud of the German army on the European battlefield, and the Soviet army was suddenly attacked by a thousand miles, and it was still defeated in successive battles, and the German army's blitzkrieg was carried out very skillfully, and the southern, central, and northern army groups cooperated with each other, and the Soviet army that fought had no power to counterattack. The momentum of the Axis powers seems unstoppable! But now, Jiang Qiang is going to teach the Japanese a lesson.

The name of this lesson is called Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not that it will not be reported, and the time has not yet come. The military airfield in Zhaoyuan, the station of the 2nd Air Division. The new flight students from Zhaoyuan Aviation School came to the airport, they are familiar with the take-off and landing process under the leadership of experienced veteran pilots, from the early morning to the old with the new flight for the first time, they have now been on the tarmac for a day of course, twilight is approaching, dusk is like a burning fireball against the sky clouds are particularly magnificent.

Rookie pilots work in groups of three, under the guidance of veteran pilots, to learn the use of the parts and components of the fighter plane in front of them. But compared to the brand-new Eagle 5 fighter jets and the huge B17 heavy bombers in front of them, these rookie pilots are clearly interested in a new runway in the distance, which is sheltered by a high wall.

According to the ground crew, the high-walled runway was filled with the latest classified aircraft and test weapons. For example, the silver fighter with extremely fast speed before was tested in this secret runway at the beginning. Moreover, the rookie pilots heard that the most powerful Eagle Falcon Brigade of the Second Air Division is currently stationed in it, and there are twelve sharp Flying Eagle 5 fighters, which are faster than the fastest flying Eagle 4 fighters, and a pull can throw all the fighters behind, and a sprint can shoot down all enemy planes.

The 12 pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade are all first-class seedlings, all of them are excellent, and their flying skills are simply ridiculously strong, and all of them are pilots who have made achievements in actual combat. Therefore, these rookie pilots also want to give it a go and try their best to qualify for the Eagle Falcon Brigade.

The old pilot in front of them snorted: "Don't be too ambitious!" Practice the basic skills first, so as not to say J-1 when you get it, even if you can't fly this Flying Eagle 5, you can only fly C47 in the end! The rookies hurriedly nodded and continued to learn the basics.

At this time, under the protection of the Snow Leopard Special Forces of the Secret Service, a convoy of six bulletproof Warrior Heights drove all the way into this 24-hour security runway. As soon as the convoy entered the secret runway, the doors of the high wall were closed again, and the grim-looking sentries continued to patrol and not allow anyone without permission to approach. The convoy then stopped.

A tall motor vehicle in the middle stopped, Jiang Qiang walked down, and saw a heavy bomber larger than B17 parked at the take-off end of the runway. The wingspan of this behemoth is more than ten meters higher than that of the B17, eight meters long, about three meters high, a full circle larger, and the benefit of being enlarged is obvious, the huge size makes its range nearly double that of the B17, reaching a terrible combat range of 5663 kilometers, and the speed has soared all the way to 574kmh, which can be said to be the hegemon of the World War II bomber model.

And it will also be a frequent visitor to Japan at the end of World War II. Its name is the B29, and it is a veritable strategic bomber. At present, the 11 members selected by the most skilled and excellent bomber crews of the entire 2nd Air Division are standing on the side of the airfield runway, standing in formation. Led by Liu Guanghua, commander of the Second Air Division.

They were all eager to try, waiting for Jiang Qiang to give the order to attack. On the other side, a bomb trailer like a small train is driving by, carrying 20 Japanese-made Type 50 Uji type bacteriological bombs, each Type 50 Uji aerial bomb has been loaded with plague and cholera viruses captured by Unit 731, which has become synonymous with danger.

And each aerial bomb was written in white by the pilots. "Blood for blood!" "A tooth for a tooth!" "Evil is rewarded!" and some polite greetings to all the relatives of Emperor Hirohito......

Seeing Jiang Qiang coming, the 11 crew members immediately saluted with a solemn look in front of them.

Jiang Qiang immediately gave the same military salute. Liu Guanghua said loudly: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Jiang!" The crew members of the 'blood for blood' plan are all assembled! Ready to attack! Please instruct! Jiang Qiang's eyes swept over everyone, and he said with a smile: "Comrades, I really envy you." The crew puffed up their chests and smiled.

Jiang Qiang said: "When we deal with these devils on the land of China, we can only take revenge, but it is far from hatred. Devils can kill people and set fire to our hometown, but their homeland can sing and dance unharmed, we can kill devils by shooting, bombing, shooting, but in the end, it is our land that suffers, and those Japanese bastards raised by sons of bitches are not bullshit, which is not fair. ”

The pilots nodded silently. Jiang Qiang continued: "Now, we have seized the biological and chemical weapons that the Japanese have been developing all along, and they were originally going to throw these terrible biological and chemical bombs on the heads of our people, and then use plague and cholera to set off terrible plagues and create terrible killings. But now, we have a chance for revenge, and we have the ability to make them feel terrified too. ”

The pilots clenched their fists, yes, today they have such an ability, and the range of more than 5,000 kilometers will turn them into the vanguard of revenge! Jiang Qiang: "Now, this opportunity to fire the first shot of revenge has fallen on your heads, I am really envious." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Qiang touched the fuselage of the huge B29: "Comrades-in-arms, you have to cherish this opportunity, I heard that in order to compete for this bombing mission, almost all the pilots of the 1st Air Division and the 2nd Air Division have written a letter of war blood, this is a good opportunity that will go down in history, don't change it for a mountain of gold, a good opportunity is now in your hands, you have to cherish it!" ”

The eleven crew members held their heads high: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Jiang, we will definitely complete the task!" Jiang Qiang glanced at his watch, and then was very satisfied with the full morale and resolute determination of these pilots, and ordered: "I will now give the order to carry out the combat mission!" ”

Twenty minutes later, the B29 heavy bomber, which was loaded with all the Type 50 Uji aerial bombs, began to accelerate from the runway, and under the roar of four Wright high-power aero engines, the four-bladed variable-pitch propeller with a diameter of up to five meters rotated at high speed, generating strong wind and waves, pushing this terrible B29 bomber into the sky!

The B29 strategic bomber, filled with 30,000 liters of aviation fuel, will have an unprecedented range. In the twilight, the B29 strategic bomber rushed all the way to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then accelerated towards the west in the deep night, in the midst of thousands of stars, under the calm control of the pilots carrying anger and hatred.

It will cross the Yellow Sea alone and fly to the east, ready to make the country, which is now immersed in a frenzied atmosphere of arrogance, realize what it means to be evil and be rewarded! Jiang Qiang, on the other hand, waited for the good news of the B29, and at the same time went to a secret field airfield in the forest behind Yunmo Mountain.

He's going to inspect a secret unit. This field airfield is not large, and what is even stranger is that this field airfield has no runway at all, it can only be regarded as an open field, but it is extremely hidden in the mountains and forests. It is said that this airport was also very convenient to build at the beginning - the giant cannon turret on the top of Yunmo Mountain aimed at the forest below the mountain at the smallest depression angle, and the two giant guns immediately fired two powerful 380 mm high-explosive shells, and the terrifying explosion power opened up two huge craters in the mountains and forests in an instant, and the rocks and wood were blown to pieces for a while.

The sappers then carried concrete to build it, and soon a fairly open field airfield was established. But this airport, instead of stopping not a single fixed-wing aircraft, was stationed in Sun Shengde's cavalry regiment, and more than 1,000 groups of military horses surrounded this generation of forests, nominally turning this place into a horse farm for horse training.

But only the horsemen and the pilots who had been transferred in a few months ago knew that there was no easy way to do this, that there was a new way to attack and that would shine on the battlefield. Because it was the first air assault regiment of the whole army stationed here.

The most innovative equipment of the 1st Air Assault Regiment is undoubtedly helicopters - the regiment is fully equipped with 70 Mi-4 helicopters (the domestic Z-5 imitation object) and 20 Mi-1 'Hare' light helicopters. The Mi-1 Hare light helicopter is the first product of the Miri Design Bureau, which is flexible in flight and has a low time and space premium, which is very suitable for reconnaissance and raiding, and is a practical light helicopter manufactured in the Soviet Union at the end of World War II.

The Mi-4 helicopter is more famous, as a representative of the first generation of helicopters, each Mi-4 helicopter can carry 15 people, and because it belongs to the first generation of helicopters, it does not use expensive turboshaft engines, and is equipped with the same piston engine as World War II fighters, so it is not strong in technology and very cheap.

Jiang Qiang, who has a lot of money, also waved his hand and sent these 90 first-generation military helicopters to the aviation machinery factory for unified modification. All Mi-4s are equipped with M134 six-barrel rotary heavy machine guns in the hatch and short wings on both sides of the helicopter to carry rocket launch nests, machine gun pods, cannon pods, aerial bombs or auxiliary fuel tanks, so as to effectively transport personnel and strike with ground fire.

The cavalrymen of the former cavalry regiment were born airborne assault soldiers, they were accustomed to bumpy war horses, and naturally they were more accustomed to bumpy helicopters, which could effectively maintain combat effectiveness during the landing. And this is also the reason why Jiang Qiang has always kept the cavalry regiment.

Jiang Qiang came to the secret field airfield and saw a large number of military helicopters parked in columns, and in the training ground on the other side, there were a large number of cavalry detached from the military horses, oh no, they are now airborne assault soldiers.

The cavalry itself uses a full set of Type 56 automatic rifles, and when they arrive at the new unit, they don't even need to change weapons, but they have to constantly slide down the nylon rope from the high mock helicopter hatch to simulate practice. However, compared with these airborne assault troops, the training pressure of the pilots of the air assault regiment is heavier.

They need to be skilled in helicopter control, after all, these pilots are the soul of the infantry, if the air assault regiment is an air cavalry regiment, then these pilots are the real horsemen.

As soon as Jiang Qiang got out of the car, he saw the air assault regiment presenting a welcome ceremony. Under the order of the regiment commander Sun Shengde, a full 12 Mi-4 planes were lined up and flew through the low-altitude forest sea and flew towards the airport. Within a few minutes, these dark green medium-sized helicopters flew all the way to Wei Ping's face, and then stayed straight and stable in mid-air, and then rotated uniformly, and the high-speed rotating tail rotor slowly turned around, so that the fuselage also rotated, and the face was facing Jiang Qiang.

Jiang Qiang smiled: "The technique is good." Sun Shengde nodded: "These pilots have practiced hard, day and night, Brother Jiang, you may not be able to see that the helicopters of our regiment have been replaced with brand new piston engines, and the service life of the last batch has been exhausted." Jiang Qiang nodded, then raised the telescope and looked over.

The twelve Mi-4s are equipped with rocket launchers and cannon pods under the short wings on both sides, and on both sides of the cabin door there is an M134 Gatling six-barrel rotating heavy machine gun, which looks very full of martial virtues, hideous and fierce.

Then, all twelve dark green Mi-4 helicopters began to descend in altitude, and then opened the cabin, and a heavily armed airborne assault soldier slid down from the nylon rope of the hatch, and once landed, it disengaged, and immediately maintained its vigilance in a half-kneeling shooting posture. In less than 10 minutes, a total of 12 Mi-4 planes carrying an airborne assault company had all landed, and all the offensive positions had been constructed, which were well-trained and extremely efficient.

Sun Shengde pointed to the east: "Brother Jiang, the simulated ground fire suppression task is about to start there." Jiang Qiang looked over with his fingers and found that the six Mi-4 helicopters that had unloaded all the airborne assault troops were roaring eastward, and then poured fire on the ground!

The rocket launch nest under the short wings of the helicopter was a lightning and thunder, and the rocket shells launched instantly planted a churning sea of fire on the earth, while the machine gun pod was spewing bright flames, and the earth dragon was tumbling and surging into the sky.

Jiang Qiang nodded: "Can the whole regiment reach this level now?" Sun Shengde: "Sixty percent of the crew members and airborne assault soldiers can reach this level, and thirty percent still need further training." Jiang Qiang asked curiously: "What about Yicheng?" ”

Sun Shengde said proudly: "There is also Yicheng who used to be the reconnaissance cavalry company of our cavalry regiment, and now it is an air assault reconnaissance company, their efficiency and time are the first in the whole regiment, and their results are far ahead, maybe they can compare with the special brigades of several group armies." Jiang Qiang smiled: "Okay, you old grandson, you still have the finale with me." Sun Shengde smiled.

Jiang Qiang patted him on the shoulder: "It is not easy for the cavalry regiment to be subordinated to the air assault regiment, this is a new way of fighting, you have to give up the heroic days of riding horses and galloping, and you are forced to sit in the cockpit of the helicopter with rumbling noise, do the soldiers complain?" Sun Shengde immediately stood upright: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Jiang!" The cavalry regiment is an indomitable hero regardless of whether there is a horse or not, not to mention that we now have a helicopter, and it is a thousand miles a day, everyone has a thousand miles of horses, there is no resentment, we just feel happy! ”

Jiang Qiang nodded: "Very good, what I want is such an indomitable momentum!" I originally planned to pick out a regiment from the 1st Airborne Division for reorganization, but I have confidence in your cavalry regiment, a new big war is coming, and the air assault regiment must be ready, this time, you are the protagonists! Sun Shengde was solemn: "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”
