Taiyue Mountains.

Weapons training camp.

An airplane, flying over the training camp, made a deafening sound from its propellers, and when it looked up, it could be vaguely seen that the plane had two engines and was far larger than a biplane.

"Arrive at the location."

"Two thousand in height."

"Bomb dropping."

In the cabin of the plane, Shen Sheng glanced at the altimeter and the coordinate data of the navigator, and gave the order to drop the bomb.

The new aircraft is not just about advanced flight performance.

It has two engines with a maximum of 2,600 horsepower, a maximum flight speed of 550 kilometers per hour, a maximum load capacity of 6.5 tons, a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, and a transportation radius of 700 kilometers when fully loaded.

And the performance of electronic equipment has been further improved.

Although so far, Shen Sheng still does not understand what the technical principle of electronic equipment is.

But it didn't prevent him from feeling that this electronic device was really easy to use.

navigation

In the past, it was necessary for navigators to carry out surveys and mapping based on maps of the place and courseing, or to determine the location based on ground markers.

Nowadays, it is only necessary to place an infinite beacon on the ground, and then enter the beacon coordinate data into the navigator, and when the aircraft approaches the beacon, the specific position data can be obtained.

It greatly reduces the pressure on the pilot.

Improved the accuracy of the aircraft.

And communications.

The size of communication equipment has been further reduced, and the anti-interference ability has been further improved.

According to the manual, for the first time, it is equipped with automatic frequency hopping ability, which greatly improves the anti-interference and anti-monitoring ability.

even

The specific information of automatic frequency hopping is confidential, and they have no right to check it.

"Bomb dropping!"

The co-pilot's bombardier turned on the cabin button.

As the cargo hold opened and the plane began to vibrate, Shen Sheng struggled to control the stability of the transport plane.

Compared with the two-winged Yun 5, the driving at this time was named Yun 6, although it is more advanced, but the driving difficulty is actually higher.

As the fuselage suddenly trembled, Shen Sheng knew that the training bomb, which weighed three tons, had been thrown.

"Drop the bomb and start heading back!"

···

Ground.

Inside the headset, the voice of a high-altitude bombardier was heard.

"Roger!"

After replying through the latest communicator, Wang Gensheng raised his binoculars and stared closely at the plane in the air.

The regiment commander and political commissar had already told him that this time the superiors planned to dispatch planes and drop super bombs to attack and kill the new chief of staff of the North China Front Army again.

And the attack will also be publicly announced in Xinhua News in advance.

And he is the key to this mission.

He needed to control the three-ton super bomb that fell from a height of 2,000 meters through the radio to accurately hit the new chief of staff of Watanabe, the devil's North China Front.

In fact, the best way to control this kind of radio-guided bomb is to judge the trajectory of the bomb through the navigation light at the tail of the bomb with a condescending field of view on the plane, so that it is very convenient to control the bomb and the guidance is more accurate.

But here's the thing!

When the specific attack is killed, the devil will send a plane to pursue the transport plane.

Although the speed of the transport aircraft is fast, its maneuverability such as turning, rolling, climbing, etc., is not comparable to that of the devil's fighter.

In the face of the pursuit of the devil fighter, the transport plane must accelerate to evade and quickly get out of position, leaving him with a very short time to guide, not to mention, it is difficult to ensure the guidance vision, resulting in the failure of the guidance.

After thinking and analyzing, Wang Gensheng finally chose to guide on the ground.

Poor line of sight, it is difficult to accurately judge the direction and position of the bomb, it will be more difficult to guide, but it is better to avoid all interference, and he has plenty of time to guide the bomb to hit the target.

···

"Wang Gensheng has already started training."

"This kid is really a genius."

"In just two days and fifteen training sessions, I was already able to hit the target more accurately!"

In the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang's tone was excited:

"Even in bad wind conditions, the deviation of a bomb dropped at an altitude of two thousand meters will not be too far."

"It is expected that after a period of training, we will be able to meet the standard of performing the task."

"That..."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang in an expectant tone.

"I've already sent the press release to my superiors."

Zhao Gang nodded and said:

"It is expected that tomorrow, a new issue of Xinhua News will be able to start printing."

"Good!"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed.

···

Meanwhile.

"What is the current situation?"

In the headquarters of the North China Front, Chief of Staff Watanabe walked into the staff room.

It's the end of September.

More than a month has passed since the Battle of the Hundred Regiments launched by the Eighth Route Army.

In the past month or so, the locust army of the North China Front Army actually suffered little losses, not counting the Imperial Allied Army, and the total casualties were less than 30,000, of which more than 9,000 were broken and missing, less than 10,000.

Compared to the strength and offensive of the Eighth Road, it is really not big.

These casualties are mainly concentrated in the Taiyue and Taihang areas.

With the current reserve troops of the North China Front, they can be replenished in time.

However, in terms of the overall situation, the locust army was losing and retreating one after another, a large amount of territory was occupied by the Tuba Road, a large number of communication lines and important transportation nodes were destroyed, and North China was completely paralyzed.

The empire suffered heavy losses in property and materiel.

"The area around the Zhengtai Line has been cleared, and the railway patrol team consisting of seven wings has begun to patrol along the line, and the railway brigade's repair work on the railway has begun."

"Expected."

"If there are enough supplies, the repair can be completed in a month."

"Plenty of supplies."

Chief of Staff Watanabe was silent.

There is no time when the empire is well stocked.

At the beginning of the war, it didn't work, let alone now.

After all, the industrial capacity is placed here, and the bulk needs to supply the navy, and the army actually gets very little.

The tanks that the army has always needed cannot be supplied sufficiently, and after the Eighth Route Army in Zhizishan showed off its anti-tank weapons, new tanks were put on the agenda, but there were not enough resources.

In the base camp of the empire this time, the dispute over whether to go south is essentially a struggle between the naval and land armies for the right to speak on the future strategy of the empire, and it is also a struggle for materials.

What's more, thousands of kilometers of railways such as the Tongpu Line, the Zhengtai Line, and the Pinghan Line have been attacked and damaged, and there is a huge demand for railroad tracks and other materials.

Sufficient supplies for a month.

It is estimated that it will take at least three months to repair.

"I see!"

Chief of Staff Watanabe waved his hand, his tone a little weak.

Resources!

Resource!

What the empire lacks most is actually resources.

The most needed thing on this battlefield is resources.

But the problem is that the purpose of this war is to solve the problem of the lack of resources in the empire.

"Let Naoto Matsuzaki come over."

Back in his office, Chief of Staff Watanabe called the head of the Northern Assessment Organ Section, Naoto Matsuzaki.

···

"Chief of Staff."

Naoto Matsuzaki soon came to the General Staff.

Walking into the office of Chief of Staff Watanabe, Naoto Matsuzaki spoke in a respectful tone.

And not just because the other side is the chief of staff!

It is also because, not long after, the new commander, General Gangmura, will take office, and this chief of staff is General Gangmura's old partner, and the relationship is very good.

Can't be offended.

"Matsuzaki-kun."

Watanabe Devil's tone is kind:

"How's your investigation about the dirt transport plane?"

Recently, Naoto Matsuzaki's primary goal was to find the underground party lurking in Beiping and intercept and destroy the transport planes of the Eighth Route Army in order to cut off the flow of Xinhua News to the locust army-controlled area.

"There's been some progress."

Naoto Matsuzaki has been prepared for a long time:

"The area of the suburbs in Beiping is too large, and there are too many flat terrain for planes to land, and it is impossible to monitor them all."

Watanabe nodded.

Unlike the narrow size of the Empire.

The area around Beiping is vast and endless.

The take-off and landing performance of the Tuba Road transport aircraft is excellent, and the requirements for the landing site are very low.

It was only necessary to find a random place to land, and then transport the newspaper by horse or mule, and with the manpower of the empire in the northern review, it was difficult to find and intercept it.

There were even several times when enemy planes did not land at all, but simply sprinkled newspapers all over the sky.

Poor visibility at night.

This is also the reason why the Reich has not been able to find enemy aircraft for several months.

"Through the analysis of experts from the country, as well as the technical personnel of the military, we can speculate."

"The reason why enemy planes can take off and land at night, and also avoid the eyes of Imperial patrol officers, must be using radio signals as position guidance."

"It's also by radio."

"So a month ago, the Dispatch Army Headquarters dispatched radio reconnaissance technicians, in cooperation with telecommunications experts from the special high section, to use radio detection equipment to conduct long-term detection and monitoring of the radio in the vicinity of Beiping."

"The enemy's technology is advanced."

"It wasn't until yesterday that we managed to lock in the signal."

"At present, the telecommunications department is making every effort to organize technical research to try to lock on and listen to this signal as soon as possible, and then catch all the enemy planes when they land."

The more he spoke, the more excited Matsuzaki's tone became.

During World War II, radio transmission technology was still very primitive.

The channel is single, frequency hopping is difficult to bind, and once the channel is locked, it is very easy to monitor.

Encryption methods, except for cryptographic encoding such as Morse ciphers, there are almost no other signal encryption methods.

Especially voice calls.

Since there is almost no encryption, it is very simple to listen to the voice, and on the battlefield, it is even often the case that both the enemy and the enemy can hear the other party's walkie-talkie talkie.

Even scolding is caused by the appearance.

So much so that there has been a situation in which the United States uses the unique accents of ethnic minorities to encrypt them.

"Good!"

Chief of Staff Watanabe was overjoyed.

According to the information currently available, it seems that there are not many aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

Once the planes of the Eighth Route Army are destroyed, it can not only severely damage the Eighth Route Army, but also solve the newspapers that appear in the area controlled by the Locust Army.

Recently, the Eighth Route Army's so-called Hundred Regiments Battle has achieved a huge victory, and thinking about it, it will inevitably be publicized on a large scale, and it is too timely to destroy the aircraft of the Eighth Route at this time.

"Destroy the planes of the Dirt Eight Road as soon as possible."

"If you need support, just come to me."

Chief of Staff Watanabe's tone was triumphant.

"Hey!"

Naoto Matsuzaki was also overjoyed, and immediately nodded again and again.

Although Tada Jun is still the commander, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the right to speak on the North China Front is actually in the hands of Chief of Staff Watanabe. (End of chapter)
