Chapter 475 Lian Jie

(... When luck comes, I can't even stop it. During the few days when I discussed national trade with Britain and the United States, there were constant good news from the front line, almost all great victory; from that moment I realized that our army was really strong, they were no longer the army that was afraid of the enemy, they had already developed strong confidence... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

"Man, I heard that you spent almost all the US$100 million in military purchases? Didn't you leave any for the Air Force? You should know that the volunteer team came over, the plane was not free..." Cao Xiaomin was disturbed by Chennard's visit before he got up early in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the hall, Chennard came up to question, looking both anxious and angry.

"Mr. Chennard, don't worry, someone will pay for the flight from the volunteer team..." Cao Xiaomin rubbed his eyes and said, "There has already agreed to the Zhigongtang that they will pay for the bill, so..."

"Do you really believe in those people? Do they have that great financial strength? You should know that they are doing the most... cheapest jobs in the United States! Why is there such a large sum of money not allocated to the Air Force at all?" Chennard was still angry.

"Don't you know how many planes I bought from the British? Also, the cost I left for the Air Force in the US loan this time is not low. I bought twenty B17s!" Cao Xiaomin said: "If I spend my money on the Air Force so much, I think the entire Military Commission will have an objection to me."

"Twenty B17s? The kind of plane that has not passed the safe flight period yet?" Chennard, like all Americans, was equally stubborn in certain aspects: "You are kidding about the life of the pilot! Three years of safety tests have just begun, can you guarantee that the plane will not fall from the sky in a few days!?"

"If that were the case, Boeing would not have survived until now!" Cao Xiaomin patiently explained: "The price of paying for this aircraft is the lowest. Moreover, because Boeing's main target customers are the US government, they are more afraid that there will be problems when using this war opportunity in China. At this time, the ground service and various maintenance services they can provide must be the best... Maybe there are still some things in the plane, but we will get the most perfect service! By the way, I am planning to apply to the chairman to continue to fight for US aid, and 10% of the US aid are designated to purchase this aircraft..."

Chennard opened his mouth wide so that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"For every b17 we have, the Japanese will dig 100 air raid shelters in China and arrange forty fighters for air defense, not to mention other auxiliary air defense facilities such as anti-aircraft guns. You know, I like attacks. Even if I was beaten up and bruised, I will still stare at others' vitals!" Cao Xiaomin continued: "Don't underestimate the Chinese power in the United States. I know that many of them are engaged in the humblest jobs. I know that when they do the same job, they can only get one-third of the white people's salary, but as long as the motherland needs them, they can donate all their salaries in the next ten years to support us in the war, because they are Chinese!"

"Okay, it's better not to urge you when you have to pay..." Chennard stopped arguing, and suddenly he smiled: "Last night, the Japanese flew a group of bombers from Henan, all of which were heavy Italian bombers, thirty of which were killed... They also fucked the Japanese in Wuhan..."

What a guy! Chennard did make an extraordinary move. On the last birthday of the Japanese Emperor, he predicted that the Japanese army would bomb Wuhan and almost wipe out all the enemies. This time he killed all the bombers that bombed Chongqing by the Japanese army. It was so awesome!

"I'm guessing that the Japanese will definitely target Chongqing this time, but their planes are also plagued by range, so there is only one aircraft that can be used, which is the br-20 I bought from Italy; and they must also be equipped with external fuel tanks to ensure that there is enough fuel to support the round-trip journey..." Chennard explained his victory excitedly...

The Japanese army was attacked by China's thousand-mile surprises. If Chongqing was not bombed, it would be impossible to explain to the Chinese people, so they had to start the delicate Italian bomber that could not withstand hail strikes. There were not many Japanese bombers, and they bought 72 from Italy in total, because there would be even fewer damages. However, in order to give the Chinese a "learning", they still dispatched the bomber on a large scale.

It is obviously impossible to fly to Chongqing slowly with an external fuel tank in broad daylight. The Japanese can only use the night to sneak into Chongqing. However, at this time, Japan's Army Airlines did not have night fighters. The only thing they could do was to mobilize China's night fighters to leave, so they would blow Wuhan first! All this was under Chennard's expectations, and annihilation war against the Japanese army began.

The Chinese Air Force, who is quite familiar with this Italian aircraft, deliberately arranged ten night fighters at a defensive airport near Wuhan, and took off to the battlefield as soon as Wuhan issued an air defense alarm. In fact, most of these flights were day fighters, but the total number of aircraft took off reached forty, which gave people the impression that all Chinese night fighters are currently fighting in Wuhan. But in fact, the Chinese Air Force scattered all more than 30 night fighters to field airports between Dazhou and Chongqing to wait for battle, and along the airline

The road sent a night reconnaissance plane to monitor the route dynamics quietly. When they found that Japanese planes passed by, they quietly waited for them to go over and sent the news back to the fighter group. As a result, the flight speed, approximate number, route angle and other information of the Japanese bombing formation were already mastered by the Chinese Air Force when they first entered northern Sichuan. The Chinese Air Force was afraid that Japanese planes would escape, so they kept holding on to the ambush circle to a distance of only 150 kilometers northeast of Chongqing. They risked the consequences of being thrown into Chongqing by the Japanese army to death and also extended the range of the Japanese bombing formation.

When the Chinese Air Force's night fighter jets quietly lurked under the four attack groups of the Japanese bombing formation like manta rays, the Japanese were still unaware of anything. It was not until the Chinese Air Force opened fire and the Japanese planes loaded with bombs exploded in the first round of attacks that they knew they would flee and avoid it. Then there was a tragic massacre in the air, and twenty br-20 were strangled on the spot!

The remaining Japanese planes finally took off the secondary fuel tank, threw the bomb away, and began to speed up with injuries. The Chinese Air Force did not chase it as if it had stopped. However, these Japanese planes did not know that the ten Chinese night fighters that pretended to take off in Wuhan had already flew west after scaring away their opponents. After adding fuel, they set up ambush on their way back! The thirty fighters that had ambushed them did not really stop. They just followed quietly behind and waited for the tangent to lurk from the low altitude when they started to tangle...

In the end, they fought until the sky between Shangluo and Nanyang. A total of 30 bombers that Japan only purchased outside during World War II were all shot down!

A group of Japanese planes who were feinting attacking Wuhan were not well. Their large formation was discovered by Chinese spies stationed in surveillance in Henan as soon as they took off and reported their location. When they attacked, there were already Chinese Air Force bombers waiting nearby. Finally, when Japanese planes landed, they accurately found the airport and bombed all four Japanese plane field airports!

Chennard waited for two nights and finally fought a beautiful large-scale continuous ambush!

However, the good news from the Chinese team this night was more than that. As soon as Cao Xiaomin sent Chennard away, he received a telegram from the Chongqing headquarters: Zhang Jingyue issued a national telegram notice that he would not accept the surrender request of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army!

OK! Cao Xiaomin, who had already arranged all this, certainly understood that Zhang Jingyue had already wiped out the 18th Division. However, because of this announcement, Cao Xiaomin had to postpone the talks with the Americans to continue to negotiate with other materials. Chiang Kai-shek called him over again...

"Our China has been a country of etiquette for thousands of years, so it's not good!" When Chiang Kai-shek saw Cao Xiaomin, he said to Cao Xiaomin very seriously: "What does not mean not accepting surrender? I just sent a telegram to Zhang Jingyue in person, but he didn't call back!"

Cao Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then deliberately said with a bitter face: "Committee, I actually arranged this matter..."

"What?..." Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale: "Did you say that Zhang Jingyue was still waiting for your telegram before going back and forth to me?"

"No, no, no...not that..." Cao Xiaomin felt a little nervous. This was the first time that Chiang Kai-shek asked his troops openly who should be loyal to!

"Actually, the Japanese have already asked for surrender two days ago. I want to say loudly that they can't destroy others, so I'm not embarrassed, so I'm going to arrange for them to pretend to accept the enemy's surrender, deceived them to get the telegram for surrender, and then destroy them... The statement was sent after the enemy was destroyed..." Cao Xiaomin looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a grimace and said, "It's not that Jing Yue didn't return the telegram from the commission, but he didn't dare to reply, so he couldn't reply... If Liehou guessed well, the 18th Division would probably not even have a hair left..."

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned, and Lin Wei, Zhang Qun, Chen Cheng, Chen Guofu and others who were accompanying each other were also stunned. Didn’t the surrender of the 106th Division accept? Didn’t the surrender of the Japanese Navy Team accept?... Chiang Kai-shek looked at Cao Xiaomin for a while and suddenly turned back to Zhang Qun and said, "Why don’t you inform the Central News Agency to issue an editorial? Just say that any Japanese troops who commit serious war crimes such as massacre on Chinese land will not accept their surrender!"

Good guy, even Chiang Kai-shek is starting to become tough! Cao Xiaomin is in full swing.

At this time, a servant suddenly came in to report: "The Wuhu front line urgently, our 187th Division and the Marine Corps and other units defeated the main force of the Japanese 119th Division last night and were chasing the enemy with all their might. Details are reported later. It is expected that no less than one reorganized corps will be wiped out by the enemy!
