After discussing the merger, reorganization and establishment of a new military region, the Tiger in the Forest got up and paced directly in front of the military map, staring at the enemy's homeland and said:

"LYL, take out the top-secret documents in my briefcase and let the political commissar see the big action formulated by our headquarters."

After receiving the order of his division commander, Chief of Staff Liu placed the briefcase he was carrying on the table, and then took out a tightly wrapped kraft paper file bag.

Such a big battle immediately made Political Commissar Luo realize the importance of the matter.

In fact, he had already guessed in his heart before, after all, trivial matters such as merger, reorganization, and the establishment of a new military region really did not need two top commanders.

In the days of rapid expansion of the border area, a fierce general of the level of the Tiger in the forest should lead the elite troops to the front line such as Rehe.

Coming to the eastern seaboard, if it is simply to deal with the two divisions and four independent mixed brigades of the Japanese Twelfth Army, it is more or less overkill.

With doubts in his heart, Political Commissar Luo took the brown paper bag handed by his chief of staff, and he quickly unwrapped the package and began to read it word by word.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Just a glance at the action summary reveals a shocking content that adds another layer to his trademark double chin.

"Oh my God, the border area and the headquarters, it's really a blockbuster! I really didn't expect that the morale wizard and deputy commander-in-chief of the army would make such a bold plan. ”

"Bringing the flames of war to the enemy's homeland is what my generation of soldiers should do."

"Now! It's our turn! ”

Regarding secrecy, it's really not that the army morale wizards and deputy commanders-in-chief are too cautious. After all, even in the border areas and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, there are no more than twenty people who know about the long-range strategic bombing plan.

In a big operation, you have to be careful in everything.

The reaction of his old comrades-in-arms made the tiger in the forest nod with satisfaction, and then he moved his vision to the Jiaodong area and said:

"Due to Mr Wong's strong suggestion, the operation has been tentatively scheduled for April 17 this year. The final arrangement will depend on the training of the comrades of the First and Third Divisions. ”

"What we need to do is very simple, that is, to completely complete the merger and reorganization of the military region within a month, and to take over the entire Jiaodong region by March 17."

"At that time, the troops will be based on the four cities of Qing, Wei, Yan, and Wei, and will become a second-level military region. In this area, we need to build a large number of permanent airfields, as well as a certain number of coastal fortifications. ”

The land of Qilu is very different from the inland provinces of Jin and Sui.

Fighting in Shanxi and Suiyuan, the navy and navy whip of the book are beyond the reach, even if you want to reinforce the army red deer, you are powerless.

But the situation in Shandong was different, at this point in time at the beginning of 1942, the surface fleet of the Devil Navy had not yet been severely damaged, and naturally the Eighth Route Army would not easily recover here.

Once the 3rd Air Division successfully completes its strategic bombing mission, it will really affect the whole body, and the entire northern and southern battlefields will become a mess.

In order to protect the homeland, the enemy will inevitably send the North China Front, the Eleventh Army, and the Navy Red Deer to join the siege, and even the Kwantung Army may come to intervene.

At that time, the troops will not only have to face positional warfare, siege warfare, and field encounters, but may even be forced to participate in landing battles and naval and air battles.

That's why the border districts and headquarters, sent the tigers in the forest to the eastern coast. Only a commander of his level could shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

"It seems that the rumors about the Navy some time ago are really not groundless. If all goes well with our plans, then control of the entire bay will be in our hands. ”

"Okay, I know the next plan of action."

"After Lao Chang comes back, I will ask him to go straight to Tianfu Mountain to pick up Xiao Xu for a meeting. We were pressed for time, and we needed to work out the first version of the plan as soon as possible. ”

After finishing speaking, Political Commissar Luo took advantage of the fact that his division commander and chief of staff were thinking about it, and opened the action plan sent by the headquarters to continue to read it.

"Huh! How can there still be torpedoes? Which of you two knows anything about this thing. Also, is the bomb used in the bombing mission mismarked in the weight column, is there really a big guy of five tons? ”

······

When it comes to torpedoes and goblet aerial bombs, we have to talk about the difference between the air raid mission carried out by Doolittle and the strategic bombing operation planned by the Yellow River.

The former, whose main value is focused on propaganda and mobilization.

To put it bluntly, Master Luo's bombing was a retaliatory action designed by Master Luo in response to the Japanese army's attack on Pearl Harbor.

Its main purpose is to boost the morale of the people, boost the morale of its own troops, prove to all forces in the country that they are determined to fight back, and by the way, pave the way for future conscription in advance.

After all, you can't expect just sixteen B-25s to cause much damage to the native of the book.

The long-range strategic bombing of the Yellow River was very different, as he had planned from the beginning to break one of the arms of the naval red deer and weaken the war potential of the devils.

At the beginning of 1942, when the enemy sent troops to the Qilu region, the enemy would most likely send the navy to support.

Since the Eighth Route Army does not currently have a navy, it cannot fight in the bay. Then we can only strangle the danger in the cradle and take the initiative to attack the naval red deer.

Therefore, the targets of the strategic bombing of the Yellow River were the military factory, military port, and military school of the book from the very beginning.

As for opening a barbecue stand in Tokyo so that comrades can have more acquaintances in the enemy's core plot, that's just a matter of passing.

It's all here, so we'll have to keep some proof.

In response to the above arrangement, the Yellow River deliberately used the military factory in the Awakening Yonghu system to prepare two kinds of big treasures for the air force.

The first item, which was naturally the pride of the British Royal Air Force, sank the battleship Tirbitz three times in the original timeline and smashed the goblet bomb that broke the backbone of the German navy.

The thing weighs 5,443 kilograms, has a total length of 6.4 meters with a tail wing, a maximum diameter of 0.965 meters, and is filled with 2,359 kilograms of mixed aluminum powder.

In the future, the Yellow River can also unlock the radio guidance function through the system, upgrading it to a giant guided bomb.

Maybe it's a bit of a chicken when you use a goblet to blow up a high-speed moving battleship. But for the Pillar Island fleet moored in the military port, they are definitely a big killer weapon with one top, one bomb and one without squeaking.

The second, the Mark 17 aviation torpedo.

During World War II, torpedoes were undoubtedly the largest of all conventional weapons.

The shelling of surface ships generally hits water structures, not to mention that the charge coefficient of naval guns is much smaller than that of torpedoes.

In the same way, aerial bombs are basically blowing up superstructures and decks.

Of course, the heavy armor-piercing bomb is an exception. It can go straight through an armored core area such as a battleship and explode underneath its underneath.

It's just that this thing has a small equivalent, and the difficulty of releasing it is also very high. Except for certain occasions, sincerity is a thankless weapon.

And torpedoes!

That's a noble underwater villain.

Attacks from below the waterline, combined with an extra-large warhead charge, make any surface unit shudder at the sight of a torpedo.

According to later statistics, 100% of the ships of the Chouguo Navy needed to be repaired after encountering aviation torpedoes and submarine-launched torpedoes during World War II.

The average time to lose combat power is 122 days and 87 days, respectively, which is much higher than being attacked by other means.

Huang He originally thought that the torpedo provided by the Awakening Yonghu system would be a 450 mm Mark 12.

After all, during World War II, it followed the king of broken legs, Swordfish, and killed Bismarck, the battleship Veneto and the Bola Heavy Cruise, which is another star weapon with Britain.

Compared to the Ugly kinetic energy yam Mark13 and the book's short-legged 91-type torpedo, this thing is excellent in terms of reliability, power, and range.

But!

Unexpectedly, the Awakening Brave Tiger system has done another job in the selection of torpedoes, and it actually gave the magic version of Mark17.

This torpedo came from the wizarding world of a certain white hair, and was the weapon of choice for torpedo bombers on the Daring-class aircraft carriers, and was first commissioned in 1947.

Let's not discuss whether it is scientific or not, you can say whether it is British goods or not.

As a modified torpedo, the Mark 17 has a speed of 43 knots and an effective range of 5 kilometers while taking into account both power and reliability.

The ninety-one style is fast enough, the devil with its speed of 41 knots often makes the warships of the ugly country unable to avoid it even if they see it.

However, the two-kilometer range made it necessary for the pilots of the HNA to penetrate deep into the anti-aircraft fire network before they could launch closely. In this way, the elite who flew torpedo bombers became expendables.

The Mark 13 has a long enough range, and the later model of this thing can swim up to 5,760 meters.

However, the turtle speed of only 33.5 knots can often make the captains of the book stage a torpedo beat, and the hit rate is simply terrifying.

The 457 mm Mark 17 can be said to be a masterpiece that combines the advantages of the above two torpedoes. With it, the Yellow River seems to have seen the tragic end of the fleet stationed on the island. (End of chapter)
