Chapter 381: Withdrawal from North China

Although Li Zongren was not aware of the development history of dive bombers, he was also a general with practical experience and had accepted the latest military tactical ideas in the Nansha Military Academy. (!.com):.com.

It was just based on his instinct that he could see the development limitations of dive bombers. Under Lian Yuntao's explanation, he learned that because dive bombers need to dive vertically towards the target, they are very susceptible to ground air defense firepower, such as anti-aircraft guns.

In addition, most dive bombers are equipped with speed reduction plates to generate resistance during dive and maintain the speed at around 250 knots to ensure the accuracy of bomb drops. But the cost is also amazing. If the air defense firepower continues to improve, this dive bombing will seem to be more costly.

Moreover, the emergence of missiles has largely eliminated this type of bomber type. If the current output of electronic components required by missiles is not high, the military would have planned to completely replace the type of fighter planes such as dive bombers.

In the original time and space, the development of dive bombers was mostly like this. Because of the weak air defense force in the early stages of the war, the dive bombers shone brightly, but then they also fell rapidly. Among them, there are several typical dive bombers that can condense the entire development history of such fighter jets.

The first one is the famous SBD fearless dive bomber.

The speed reduction plate behind the wings is clearly visible. The dive bombing tactic originated in World War I and was first pioneered by the Royal Air Force. However, due to its fragile structure, early bombers could not withstand the impact of high-speed dive and pulling up.

Until the 1930s, with the development of aircraft technology, dive bombing tactics were increasingly valued, especially its ability to attack small targets. In the United States, the Navy purchased the first customized dive bomber, the Cotis F8c Falcon attack aircraft in 1925.

The Navy generally prefers dive bombers than the Air Force. Air Force bombers take off and land on land and are basically not limited by size and weight, so their commanders generally adopt large-scale horizontal bombing strategies.

For the Navy, the size and weight of aircraft that can take off and land on an aircraft carrier are limited, so the Navy needs to send limited ammunition accurately over the target rather than large-scale intensive bombing.

In the European battlefield of World War II, Germany was the main user of dive bombers. The main task of German dive bombers was to provide close-range fire support for their armored troops and infantry. The representative aircraft was the Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber. The body of the Stuka bomber was very strong and could dive down at an angle of 80 degrees, playing an extremely important role in blitzkrieg.

In contrast, as the inventor of dive bombing tactics, the dive bombers made by Britain were much inferior. During the war, the Royal Air Force and the Navy only produced about 200 skuo dive bombers, and their performance was not satisfactory.

In the Pacific battlefield, Japan and the United States also built a large number of dive bombers, mainly participating in anti-ship operations. Japan had advanced dive bombers in the world at the beginning of the war, and its representative aircraft was Type 99 ship bombers, which performed well in the Pearl Harbor incident and some other operations subsequently.

However, with the slow development of Japan's aviation industry technology in the late war, its advantages were also surpassed by the United States. American dive bombers played an important role in the battle to eliminate the remaining forces of the Japanese joint fleet in the late war, such as the SBD Fearless Diving Bomber and the Cotis SB2C Hell Diver Diving Bomber.

After World War II, the role of dive bombers gradually weakened. The rapid development of ground air defense weapons and fighter jets made dive bombing tactics unable to adapt to the new battlefield.

The development of various precise aiming systems and bomb drop radars has also greatly enhanced the bomb drop accuracy of horizontal bombing. In the past, the need to conduct dive bombing to enhance the hit rate gradually disappeared, and the dive bombers' inability to cope with the problems of various new weapons has caused them to lose their position in bombing tactics.

Although most bombers will still dive at small angles before attacking enemy targets, full-time dive bombers will soon enter history.

Hualian's Air Force is in a semi-high state in organization, and many different types of military aircraft make the air force system full of wings. (.com

Military aircraft are the general term for aircraft that directly participate in combat, ensure combat operations and military training, and are the main technical equipment of the aviation force.

Among the types of fighter jets of the Hualian Air Force, they mainly include fighter jets, bombers, fighter bombers, strike aircraft, anti-submarine patrol aircraft, armed helicopters, reconnaissance aircraft, early warning aircraft, artillery reconnaissance school-fired aircraft, seaplanes, military transport aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft and trainers.

More advanced electronic countermeasures are also being developed. Once successful, they will make great efforts to destroy the enemy's communication system.

The large number of aircraft used in combat has led to the development of Hualian's foreign war from plane to three-dimensional space, which has had a significant impact on strategy, tactics and military composition. Because of this, the Industrial and Economic Union will mainly lean towards the Air Force in military production, because mastering the Air Force is to master the future.

In Anyang, Hebei, the ancient and mottled city walls were swaying in the war. The Volunteer Army originally had a population of 40,000, but now it has lost nearly 30%. All cities, counties and townships in Hebei have fallen one after another. The Japanese army gradually squeezed Lin Hu's troops out of Hebei with their superior forces and a large number of puppet Manchukuo teams.

As early as October 19, 1937, Shang Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 20th Army of the ** Party and commander of the 32nd Army, led his troops from Zhengding to Anyang, and the General Command was stationed in Houlizhu Village, Tangyin.

At that time, the 40,000 Volunteer Army commanded by Lin Hu and Tang Enbo's 20th Army were retreating to the south of the Zhang River. At dawn that day, more than 500 Japanese troops swam across the Zhang River from near Guantai and were attacked by the 25th Division of the 52nd Army of the 20th Army. The two sides fought fiercely on both sides of the Zhang River. The stalemate was held until the 23rd. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and retreated to Handan and Wu'an areas.

On November 2, the 20th Army was ordered to aid Jin. The enemy's 14th Division took advantage of the situation to force the crossing of Zhang and Henan to invade the next day. The 141st Division of the 32nd Army of the River Defense Force replenished the second regiment to fight against the enemy with blood, and the regiment commander Chen Xingxian and others died heroically. In the early morning of the day, Anyang Railway Station was lost.

Cui Yi's troops in the 142nd Division of the city defender, fought alone. If Lin Hu had not come to support and repelled the Japanese troops entering the city, the city would have been lost long ago.

Now all the original ** Party defenders have retreated to Zhengzhou, and they are probably likely to continue to move south and join Wuhan. There are only a small number of troops in the entire North China region, among which the Volunteer Army of the Hualian is one of them.

There is no reputable fame, but it is just repeating the day after day of fighting in obscurity, the bright red soil stained by blood, interpreting the cruelty and tragic war.

This is an army that is willing to be lonely and dedicate. Under Lin Hu's command, it is constantly delayed at the speed of the Japanese occupying the entire North China. However, after several years of expedition, the soldiers were already exhausted, with casualties of up to 30%, which has touched the bottom line. If this continues, morale may not collapse, but it is indeed not a good thing for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army.

Outside Nancuizhuang Village, a large number of fortifications replaced the original fields and the roads were tightly blocked. The Volunteer Army built defense lines here and often had friction with the Japanese and puppet troops in the north. For both sides, this was a slow bloodletting process.

Wang Junfeng, who has been promoted to battalion commander, is inspecting the enemy situation in front of the formation. The recent movements of the puppet army are strange, and he is probably planning to launch a new round of large-scale offensives.

The place where he is located is a bunker, a square artificial pit covered with weeds and fallen leaves used to hide his tracks. It is located halfway up the mountain, with a row of dense trees around it, and the view is quite good, making it easier for Wang Junfeng to investigate the enemy situation.

He didn't say a word, just watched quietly. According to the orders from the superior, it seemed that the reconnaissance planes had a large-scale assembly of the enemy. The purpose was self-evident, which was to completely capture Anyang and open up the road to Henan.

Less than half an hour later, Wang Junfeng saw a large number of puppet Manchukuo troops in Japanese uniforms in the telescope. After so long dealing with the Japanese army, Wang Junfeng could easily tell whether the ones in front of the war were serious Japanese army soldiers or just a group of Imperial Army troops.

The Puppet Manchukuo Team established in April 1932 did not formulate formal military uniforms until 1937. This is because the Puppet Manchukuo Team was integrated by the remnants of the Fengtian warlords' Northeast Army with the Kwantung Army as consultants, and the generals and soldiers all used military uniforms from the warlord era.

Due to regional relations, the old Northeast Army uniforms were greatly influenced by the old Japanese army uniforms, so they looked similar.

The military uniforms of the puppet Manchukuo team were officially formulated on May 12, 1937. Since the puppet Manchukuo team was actually controlled by the Kwantung Army, its military uniforms were naturally imitated by the old Japanese Army.

Whether the leather is tilted leather, the chest and waist of the military uniform have pockets, the design of the regular armband, the eaves and the regular hat also inherits its own characteristics. The military cap and combat cap are also pentagrams of the old Japanese Army, using the yellow, black, white, blue and red five-color seals of the pseudo Manchukuo flag.

But although the clothes are the same, the soldiers' spirits are completely different. The Imperial Army does not have the high-spirited, fearless and fierce murderous intent of the Japanese regular army, but is like a group of mixed fish that are just by hand.

But these miscellaneous fish are not without combat effectiveness. Their weakness is relative to the strength of the Japanese regular army.

Without Wang Junfeng's order, the entire battalion was ready for combat. This group of puppet troops composed of traitors was probably just a group of cannon fodder, and its main function was to consume the physical strength and military supplies of the Volunteer Army.

The entire territory of Manchuria is divided into eleven military-controlled areas, and the district chief is called the commander. The power of the Manchuria is controlled by the Kwantung Army. The movement, exercises, equipment replacement, and personnel changes must be approved by the Kwantung Army Command.

From the perspective of the officer system, the Manchurian ranks are divided into three grades: General, School, and Lieutenant. After graduation, they are the first lieutenant, and they will be lieutenant after graduation for two years. The lieutenant will be promoted to captain after two years, and the lieutenant will be promoted to major after three years. The major will be promoted to lieutenant after three years, and the lieutenant will be promoted to colonel after three years. The colonel will be promoted to major general after four years, the major general will be promoted to lieutenant general after three years, and the lieutenant general will be promoted to general after four years. The highest rank is the general, and the tenure-time position is.

A general was established above the general, imitating the Japanese marshal, as the rank of honor. He also gave Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Haipeng, Yu Zhishan, Jixing and four other people the honorary titles of "General".

In 1938, in this time and space, the Japanese army set up an Army Officer's School in Changchun in advance to train officers. It is worth mentioning that since North Korea is very close to the Northeast, there are many Koreans in the military academy, such as South Korea's post-war President Park Chung-hee, who was a graduate of this military academy.

The puppet Manchukuo, composed of multi-ethnic forces, was essentially dominated by the Kwantung Army. There were quite a few soldiers dissatisfied with this. During the Battle of Nomenhan, the 1st Battalion of the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Shilan Detachment launched a rebellion, and a large number of troops surrendered to the Soviet Union during the Soviet-Japanese War.

But in fact, Wang Junfeng fought with the puppet Manchukuo Army several times, but he would not underestimate this unit that had been trained by the Japanese regular army. What they lacked was the will to fight. Under the oppression of the Japanese, he was not able to see the future and difficult-to-realize benefits, so he was enthusiastic about war.

However, as cannon fodder, it is the most suitable. The Japanese military law is strict, and even if they force these people to die, they can only do so.

Wang Junfeng did not feel sorry for these people who betrayed the motherland at all. It didn’t matter whether the reason was. Since he chose the way, he had to be prepared to bear the cost.

Under the supervision of a small number of Japanese military police, the Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Army, who was pressed against the waist by the gun, launched a continuous attack on the positions where the Volunteer Army was located like a tide. Progress may lead to death, but at least there is hope and you can still receive some rewards. But if you retreat, you will not only die, but even the family members in the rear will be implicated.

Wang Junfeng's battalion was the first to be hit by the enemy's key attacks because it was close to the main road. Several light armored tanks even appeared, which were like snails in front of the infantry and came towards Wang Junfeng.

The Volunteer Army soldier of this small iron coffin didn't take it seriously at all. An anti-tank gunner opened the wooden box behind him and took out a "fire fist" rpg anti-tank rocket launcher from it.

A sharp sound, as its name suggests, the steel fist with a red tail flame roared through the air, and penetrated the Japanese tank's "paper-carved" armor and penetrated into it.

Then there was a deafening explosion, from the inside out, a pile of rotten iron burning with fire and smoke, blooming with gorgeous metal flowers. The shattered iron fragments in the explosion also caused a large amount of damage to the soldiers of the Imperial Army hiding behind the tanks. The irregularly shaped metal fragments were like crude flying saws, cutting the soft human body.

Those who died on the spot were lucky people, and the real misfortune of several soldiers who were beheaded but were lucky enough to die after being cut in half. They wailed in pain and tortured the fragile hearts of every Imperial Army soldier.

The battalion deputy stood beside Wang Junfeng, holding his telescope in his hand. These puppet troops are quite tough, and they will not retreat in such a fight?"

Wang Junfeng saw more thoroughly than the battalion deputy. He said in a stern voice that it was not tough, but that there was no choice. I think the Japanese army is coming this time. Report to me directly to the military command center, hurry up."

The correspondent standing not far away received the order and immediately dialed the number to report on the situation on the front line.

After a fierce battle, the enemy still couldn't advance in a hurry, leaving only corpses all over the ground, retreating like a tide. Because the night was low and there were military orders, no one dared to go out to chase him.

In the next few days, the two armies were in such a stalemate. Thousands of puppet soldiers who were driven away by the Japanese military police could only continue to consume the morale of the volunteer army with their bodies and lives.

The military command center is in Anyang City, and Lin Hu sat at his desk, frowning. The Japanese army was so crazy that they were probably eager to open up the passage to Henan, cooperate with the North China Expeditionary Army to go south to make a strategy. The battle of Xuzhou has ended, and the large troops of the ** Army are slowly retreating.

This is a great time to pursue, but unfortunately the volunteer army blocked Anyang, and it was like a thorn in the throat.

"Captain"

"Oh, it's Junfeng, come and sit down." Seeing that it was Wang Junfeng, Lin Hu also changed into a broad smile. He admired Wang Junfeng's talent and temperament very much. Otherwise, he would not have trained Wang Junfeng from the most ordinary soldier to a battalion commander within a few years.

Wang Junfeng was also respectful to the most respected Shangguan, and his calm attitude made people feel relieved by him easily.

"Captain, are the army ready to retreat?" The general took off his cap and placed it on his waist. Wang Junfeng sat down seriously, his eyes calm and relaxed, waiting for Lin Hu's answer. After coming to the base camp, he carefully saw these from clues.

"Oh, this shouldn't be told to you, but since you're all right, I won't hide it. Indeed, the Volunteer Army has been fighting in the northern border for several years, and the headquarters is considering transferring us back to the rear for rest and rest." In fact, Lin Hu didn't say anything, that is, after a brief rest, the Volunteer Army will be reorganized and become a dispatched force in rescue Taiwan, and undertake the main combat task of regaining Taiwan.

After hearing this sentence, Wang Junfeng's mood was indescribable. He was not a soldier who would easily question the orders of his superiors, but it was really difficult to accept the decision of the headquarters.

Since the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo, the Volunteer Army has been fighting in the northern border for nearly five years, and many comrades have buried their bones here. This strong emotion is not so easy to give up. He raised his head and the commander of the army, and the local residents will do it?"

This is not a defense, but an inquiry. Although many residents choose to escape, a considerable number of people still choose to stay here to stick to it. They are already desperate about the future and do not have the concept of a country in their hearts. Just like the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty when they entered the pass, they lived cowardly and numbly.

Is there any difference for them to exploit by Japan and to exploit by the ** government alive?

"The recruitment office has temporarily drawn personnel to count local residents who are willing to leave us. These people will fly directly to Hunan on large transport planes, but there are always some people who are unwilling to leave."

Seeing Lin Hu shaking his head and sighing, Wang Junfeng was also surprised why this was? Did they not know that the devils were about to fight?" He didn't jump.

Lin Hu has experienced more things than Wang Junfeng. He looked at the young man who was sincere in his heart in front of him. This may be a difference for us, but in their eyes, there is no."

Even if you feel sad, this is the helpless sorrow of this era. The concept of patriotism is really too empty. The people have no expectations for who will rule them. Many people are just sinking in despair and their hearts are silent.
