Chapter 402 Foreign Transactions
Chapter 402: Outside Trading
Hearing that the retreat was cut off, the main force of the Central China Expeditionary Army in Wuhan was shocked. Nine divisions were cut in half by Hualian's airborne troops in two sections, and the head and tail were not allowed to be taken care of each other.
The rest are only five main divisions of the Japanese army isolated in Wuhan City, and they are about to face two lines of attack from the Fifth Army and the Third Army.
In Xinyang, Hubei, Wang Junfeng landed very smoothly. He opened the safety buckle on the parachute. He untied the strap on his waist and pulled the ammunition and weapon bag under his feet. He quickly stepped down all the skydiving protection objects on his body, took out the weapon and ammunition belt on the back, pulled out the backpack belt of the weapon bag and carried it behind him, and finally rolled up the umbrella tool. A perfect parachute diving process ended like this.
"Planer leader, I have gathered twenty-three brothers here." There were still more than ten meters away, and the battalion deputy ran away and immediately reported the current situation of the team.
"Where are the other brothers?"
"The people from the 7th Order 2nd Company and the 703rd Company are gathering together, and are now helping to draw the delivery line." The battalion deputy pointed at an open ground, and several soldiers were drawing straight lines on the ground with red fen and ropes. There were fewer and fewer parachutes in the sky, and more and more Chinese soldiers were gathered on the ground.
"Have you found the brigade and division headquarters?"
"A soldier from the third squad said he found the brigade headquarters in the southeast, and there was no news for the division headquarters for the time being." The battalion deputy quickly helped Wang Junfeng stuff the parachute into the umbrella bag, and the big umbrella bag will be recycled later.
"Get together the team and prepare to wait for the baggage truck to be released." Wang Junfeng threw the umbrella bag in the recycling area and ran to the assembly site with his soldiers who had gathered.
"Draw the lines thicker, I'm not red anymore, throw a bag." A soldier asked the soldiers next to him for help, and soon, a bag was thrown in a plastic bag. With the help of the serrated mouth on the plastic bag, the soldier quickly tore open a gap and poured out the red powder in the bag along the two ropes pulled out on the ground.
After a while, a big cross appeared in the eyes of the second wave of transport aircraft that followed in the sky.
"Piling aircraft, I am the 12th Air Carriage. I have seen the cross coordinates on the ground. Please assign the throwing and landing area."
"Air Carriage 12, your team uses the cross coordinates of the third area."
"Received, the Air Carriage No. 12 understands." The driver closed the communication channel, shaking the fuselage to begin decreasing altitude towards the cross area assigned to him.
When the transport plane dropped to 600 meters, three convertible off-road vehicles and two large packages fell under the already opened rear cabin door. As soon as these off-road vehicles and packages left the cabin, they pulled out the guide umbrellas like paratroopers parachuting. Then three large parachutes appeared above the military vehicles and packages.
Seeing more and more large umbrella bags landing on the ground one by one in the sky, Wang Junfeng was relieved. These large packages were basically filled with lightweight firepower support weapons such as mortars, ammunition, etc., and it would be very difficult to fight without them.
The airborne vehicles are not only armed off-road vehicles, but also a small number of battlefield assault vehicles. These vehicles will provide the paratroopers with limited maneuver power, but the use of these vehicles is more about reconnaissance and emergency transport of ammunition and wounded.
Half an hour later, just as Wang Junfeng and other soldiers received their belongings, a soldier in the platoon ran away;
"The battalion commander's division headquarters asked our platoon to go out immediately and move in the southwest direction."
"Okay, we are cutting off the Japanese's back road and the entire battalion is ready, and we set off immediately."
"Yes" the soldiers were all excited to fight. After a short formation, they rushed towards the camp of the Japanese garrison troops in Xinyang.
The Japanese were not blind, they quickly flew over the fleet above their heads from various channels. The Central China Expeditionary Army was the southern offensive base camp of the Japanese invaders. When the Supreme Commander Matsui Ishione instantly fell on the Grand Secret Chair when he learned that the Chinese army had already landed a division in each place.
If the previous battle with the Chinese army had already made him feel powerless and frustrated, then the news that the hundreds of aircraft and airborne troops airborne in the rear made him feel even more desperate.
As a commander, it is of course well aware that the breakdown of the retreat means that four of the six divisions in his hands have been mixed with the Third Corps of the Chinese Army. The attacks of the Chinese army are very effective and fast. In the past, when fighting with other Chinese troops, the only troops and equipment that only caused headaches for the Chinese people, have now been completely defeated.
The thin force and defense cannot stop the attacks of the Chinese army from morale to equipment and skills and tactics. Many defense lines are basically penetrated by the enemy with one blow. Their speed is completely disrupted by the original defense plan. I was just preparing to put two reserve divisions in my hand into one to put out the fire.
But the fact that he was airborne by the Chinese army from the rear once again placed Matsui Ishien on the grill. Should he go forward and fight to the death, or immediately order the two divisions of the reserve team to fight back and forth?
Whether it is forward or backward, it is a kind of unsure gambling, and the bets in this game are too big, and the land card is really bad now. All of this seems to indicate the arrival of failure.
After a long time, a document was signed by the commander Matsui Ishione with his trembling hands.
Then he was immediately sent away by the adjutant who had already been waiting for the side. After signing this document, Matsui Ishione, who was the Japanese general of the army, seemed to have grown older in his twenties. He sat weakly in the room for a long time before he stood up with difficulty and walked slowly into the back room...
Crazy Japanese Army soldiers, after receiving the order, all the five divisions stopped to reinforce.
Not only that, the Central China Expeditionary Army Command also ordered the six current divisions to defend on the spot, and ordered them to launch suicide attacks to increase casualties of the Chinese army until the last person was killed in battle.
The Japanese soldiers who were already in despair were fighting back to death, without surrendering or hesitation, and only cried and chanting in the rumbling hell of artillery fire.
The dream of a strong country for a hundred years and the hard expectations of tens of millions of people now have only turned into painful wails.
This inferior and proud nation has begun to decline before it even rose.
However, the soldiers of the Chinese army had no mercy on these enemies who looked similar to each other. Important industrial areas in Hongshan District, Wuchang District, Hanyang District, Qiaokou District, and Wuhan City were attacked by artillery fire.
The Third Corps of the Chinese Army poured more than 10,000 tons of bombs into this place. The tactics adopted by Li Zongren are also the current mainstream tactics of the Chinese Army. Air Force fighters first drove out the Japanese Air Force, and then bombers came out to play a spectacular symphony with large-caliber artillery.
The once prosperous industrial towns and prosperous cities are now blown up by countless artillery shells. In order to reduce casualties, Li Zongren did not rush to order the occupation of Wuhan, but was still waiting for the continued fire cleaning.
Compared with several main forces in the Army who cut large pieces of blocks and annihilated the enemy, the Airborne Army's attack was slightly slow and slow. Due to the lack of firepower support for large and heavy weapons, the attack could only be carried out with some light weapons and auxiliary weapons.
Soon, the obviously newly built castle in front suddenly surged a few red smoke. The smoke blocked the sight of the castle. The machine gun that had been spitting out flames suddenly couldn't find the exact target. At this time, two rocket soldiers with firepower platoons took this opportunity to quickly use the terrain to get close to the castle and enter the rocket range.
When the smoke dissipated, the scene of the explosion gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Two rockets accurately hit the castle. Since it was a temporary and hasty construction, the protection of the castle was not very strong. The high explosion loaded by the rocket easily destroyed the castle.
Without the firepower point of the castle that has been suppressing the soldiers, the attack on the airborne battalion led by Wang Junfeng was successfully launched again.
But no one noticed that in the ruins of the castle, a seriously injured Japanese man held his body and pulled the grenade on his body, used his last strength to knock on the ammunition box next to him, and exploded with a bang that injured the two soldiers passing by the castle. Although their injuries were not serious, they also alerted all the soldiers.
The Japanese army was not the former domestic soldiers. They were highly cruel and aggressive and decisive. All Japanese corpses and Japanese troops who were not confirmed to have died need to be treated and dealt with.
The same situation also occurs when other attacking troops attack, and what is even more crazier is that Japanese soldiers often hold grenades or hit armored vehicles and tanks frantically. The frequency and madness of suicide attacks are higher and more crazier than ever before.
However, this hysteria in despair cannot effectively reverse the situation of the war. Without the suppression of the Japanese troops, most of the Imperial Army soldiers who were barely recruited chose to surrender or escape.
Airborne troops, also known as paratroopers, mainly use airborne to the battlefield as a combat method. Its characteristics are lighter equipment, highly mobilized, and elite troops. The airborne troops of the Chinese army are generally classified as division-level or brigade-level, and are directly affiliated with the command organization at the level of the legion.
This time the airborne troops are two airborne divisions belonging to the Third Army.
Airborne troops composed of multiple troops have the ability to maneuver quickly and overcome geographical obstacles. These two main airborne divisions are parachute or aircraft landing to engage in ground combat. They are an assault force that can suddenly appear behind the enemy and cooperate with frontal forces to fight.
The Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army originally placed its hopes on the Yangtze River. As long as it masters the main bridges and ferry ships, it can effectively block the Chinese army's attack. After all, the strength of the Chinese army's combat effectiveness has always been mainly dependent on the degree of mechanization and the squandering of ammunition.
Once these advantages are lost, Matsui Ishien is confident that he can defeat any Chinese army in the plains. Even if Hefei is defeated by the Fifth Army of the Chinese Army, he is not worried at all, because the retreat is still there.
However, the two airborne divisions were like divine weapons falling from the sky. The super-motorized capabilities of the airborne troops made the cavalry quick and fierce, and the motorized troops galloped. In just a few hours, the retreat to the North China region was cut off, and the entire Central China dispatched troops would face a catastrophe.
The large-scale use of airborne troops has placed the combat principles that have been adopted for a long time, such as the military importance of the highlands, the use of obstacles, the use of reserves, the coordination of supporting firepower, flanking cover, and the use of feints and surprise attacks, in a completely different position.
The vast rivers, mountains with high clouds, and the hard-to-traverse rainforests are no longer a problem, because there is always an exposed sky above the head.
Since ancient times, human beings have been seeking a maneuver advantage in wars that surpasses the other side. In history, people have always applied every new technological progress to war first.
Hualian's scientific researchers and military generals jointly put the airdrop technology to the limit, imitating the Soviet Union in 1929, and successfully making large-scale division-level airborne combat a reality.
The Chinese army's parachutes have also developed from simple cloth tied with ropes to today's huge families such as high-altitude umbrellas, low-altitude umbrellas, wing umbrellas, object-dropping umbrellas, powered flying umbrellas, fully armed soldiers and dozens of tons of tanks and artillery can all use them to land safely.
These technologies are all military technology that is ahead of the entire world, and this is the cornerstone of China's rise
In the Nanchang Front Command Center, Huang Shaohong received a military report from the front, and was so happy that he danced with joy that the missions of Delin Airborne First Division and Airborne Second Division were successfully completed. Now it is time to tighten the encirclement."
Li Zongren was also very happy when he heard this, but he did not act too frivolously in front of many subordinates. Instead, he nodded with a smile, and praised the airborne master for his first merit this time. I will personally apply for commendation for them."
At present, the only way that the Central China Expeditionary Army in Japan can still go westward to Jingzhou, but that is also a dead end. Because retreating to Jingzhou means that it will fall into the siege of the ** Party. After being suppressed and beaten by the Japanese army for so many years, Jiang Ruiyuan is probably full of resentment and is worried that there is no place to vent, so how can he get back such a good opportunity?
In just a few days, Hualian once again showed amazing strength to countries around the world, which was impressive.
Not only the people and warlords in China are paying attention to it, but the British and American powers are also paying attention to all this. Not to mention the Japanese, they are paying serious attention to the war situation in Central China and the military strength of the China League.
Previously, the Chinese army showed the power of armored army operations to the world, and today it has exposed the integration strategy of air supremacy and airborne combat to the world. These strategic and tactical knowledge shown have given great inspiration to military researchers from various powers.
For example, the use of the Air Force, such as anti-armor and air defense, all formed intelligence through various channels and gathered it into the hands of several major powers. The British and Germans even sent an observation team at the first place to follow the progress of the matter.
The United States in this era was very reluctant to get involved in other countries' affairs. Americans would rather live a good life in a closed door and enjoy a large amount of daily necessities obtained from loans than worry about the life and death of a group of Chinese people thousands of miles away from the other side of the ocean. This situation did not change until the outbreak of World War II. As long as they did not touch their vital interests, they would not care about the flood outside.
The British and Germans are different.
The UK always puts the position of the world's largest country and will not fall behind, and the Far East interests that are shrinking rapidly will not be squeezed out of thin air. This crucial link in China has a high position in their big strategy.
The rise of any force will make their wishful thinking unsuccessful. Japan has tricked them on the issue of invasion of China, which is already a very bad thing. Although it is unwilling to watch Japan grow bigger, Hualian's strong performance aroused their greater alertness.
The Germans are paying attention to Shandong and China for strategic considerations. Hitler is now ready to take action against Poland and World War II is about to break out, which also means that he is bound to be eager to seek new support.
In Europe and even the entire white world, Germany has no reliable allies. In the Far East, what they need most are resources, some crucial resources, and a relatively reliable allies, which may be very unsuccessful choices. This is China.
Therefore, not long after the war in central China spread all over the world, politicians with extremely sensitive sense of smell had some opportunities contained in it. Therefore, the British immediately sent out the old Earl Smith, who had been working with the Hualian for a long time and were familiar with. The one from Germany was a very important mysterious figure - Cassa D Lorraine.
In the southern suburbs outside Guangzhou, Smith, who is over 60 years old, is still in a bad spirit. His figure and appearance are well maintained. Only the white color between his hair reveals his true age to others.
Just in Zhong Yang's manor, Smith was very well received, and he was very grateful for it. However, the bored questioning did not last long, so he went straight to the topic, my dear Yang, we are twenty years old, if I ask for some requests, I think you will not be stingy with a little help."
This cunning old fox, Zhong Yang smiled on his face, but his heart was calm and calm, not moved by Smith's intimate tone at all. He just replied with a polite affirmation with nothing. This is of course, I have always been generous to it. I just don't know, what do you want this time?"
This was originally an excuse. Smith had already predicted it, but he was not disappointed. He took out an envelope from his arms, containing many sun-drunk photos.
"I am interested in this kind of fighter jet. It seems that you already have aircraft that can be used for actual combat in the research project of jet power."
Zhong Yang didn't. He just took a quick look and could see that the fighter in the photo was the Speed Eagle I-type jet fighter that was put into actual combat for the first time over Wuhan. It seemed that the Japanese took the photo, but for some reason it fell into the hands of the British.
The British wanted to do outside trades and master this top air combat technology. Zhong Yang grinned in his heart. What's wrong with this? Anyway, it won't take long to develop the corresponding technology. It's better to sell it at a good price now while the European war is densely covered.
