~《》~ Chapter 539 Depression

(...... There are many times when you know some information at this high position but you can't know it; this will make people feel particularly depressed, because sometimes you will see a huge crisis that will break out at any time, but you can only choose to remain silent. When that crisis really breaks out, you will collect the damage it causes as a kind of guilt... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

It was learned that Chiang Kai-shek actually approved Chen Cheng to use the main force of the Yangtze River War Zone Air Force to attack the Japanese army in East China, and the air strike plan was formulated by Chen Cheng, and Cao Xiaomin petrochemicals on the spot!

"...I hope to transfer the American Airlines Volunteer Team to Guangdong to fight, not just for the air power in the war zone. You don't know the Americans, many of them look down on Japan very much, and they have a spirit of never giving up. If the pilots of the American Airlines Volunteer Team did not receive special training before the war and understand the strengths of the enemy, they would definitely fight with Japanese aircraft. And I know too much about the P-35, and this fighter is not better than Japanese aircraft.

, in terms of speed, but in terms of hovering ability, they are far weaker than their opponents, and even their ability to fight against attacks is not necessarily stronger than that of Japanese aircraft... Hell, when I make the plan to bomb Taiwan, I must go to Chongqing to warn these guys!... They will listen to me but will take the warnings of the Chinese Air Force as a wind in my ears..." Chennard said this after learning that the American Airlines Volunteer Team was not approved to participate in the war in Guangdong. Now every word of this is typing Cao Xiaomin!

I couldn't remind Chiang Kai-shek - this was equivalent to telling Chiang Kai-shek that he had a way to know other plans of the General Command!

He could not disclose the news to Chennard, because the consequences of doing so were exactly the same. Where could Chennard know the command's plan to deploy another war zone from besides him!?

Cao Xiaomin was angry and hated Chen Cheng, but he himself did not expect that this was actually a normal thing: Didn’t you, Cao Xiaomin, have you not even studied in a military academy? How could you put forward so many guiding suggestions for air force operations? How could you participate in so many air force operations plans? I, Chen Cheng, was born in Huangpu! Chen Cheng, with this mentality, made the air combat plan himself...

"From tomorrow, our American friends will join the patrol. Even if you take them to Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai for a tour, they need to be familiar with the situation in the various places of the war zone..." Chen Cheng is setting up work for the air force in the Wuhan war zone: "They are all very excellent pilots, they have a long flight time and some have practical experience; you must learn from the American friends and learn their most advanced combat philosophy..."

Not only Cao Xiaomin can use the Air Force well. Didn’t Bai Chongxi also use the Air Force in Jiangbei? It’s my turn this time... A picture of Chen Cheng looking down at the ground from a high altitude, and countless fireballs exploded below.

His plan is to bomb several airports that are being repaired by the Japanese army and deliberately leave slowly after the bombing, and wait for the Japanese army flying from the aircraft carrier or Taiwan to arrive. According to his data in the past few days, the Japanese army is far inferior to this American aircraft in terms of range, and the short-sized American aircraft in terms of maximum speed must also be the only ones in terms of aircraft. Currently, Japanese aircraft are either from Shandong or from Taiwan. How far does it have to fly in combat? As long as they continue to fight with them, these Japanese aircraft will probably fall to the ground by themselves!?

Chen Cheng made a lot of analysis in advance about the performance of the aircraft. In his opinion, the aircraft performance of the American Airlines Volunteer Team in this planned large air combat is far greater than that of several major fighters of the Japanese army. This is a massacre battle. His plan is very cunning: use bombing formations to attract and entangle Japanese aircraft, so that the Japanese aircraft will enter the main war zone until half of the fuel is consumed, and then let the Americans eliminate them.

Chen Cheng deeply agrees with the air force tactics that Chennard used repeatedly to consume fuel and finally succeeded with a single blow by the main fighter. Although he has never really commanded the air combat, he has seen a lot after all, and Chen Cheng feels that such an air combat should be able to be used.

There is also a reason for choosing air strikes three days later: if you count it, the fourth day is the beginning of spring. This war means to declare the spring of the War of Resistance. Before the war, familiar battlefields, clever means of fighting, the real goal of combat... Bombing? Bombing is just one link. My goal is to wipe out the Japanese fighter fleet! Let's see who will say that I won't fight in the future...

Haven’t everything been arranged by myself? Is there any suspense in this battle? Chen Cheng has not implemented this plan yet and is already intoxicated by himself...

"General Chennard believes that the comprehensive performance of those American fighter jets is not enough to suppress Japanese aircraft, and what's even more serious is that the US Air Force is still using large formations to fight instead of the dual-air formation we currently use. Their favorite way of combat is to fight instead of us just sticking to it..." Cao Xiaomin said to Chen Lifu what Chennard said, and the two looked at each other: It's so deadly! Isn't this sending the American Airlines volunteer group to death?

"This matter was told by Guofu and he also told you to let you know about it. We must prepare for Chen Cheng to deliberately occupy the right to use the aircraft to make it available inorganic in the Guangdong War Zone. He also deliberately reminded me that the news should not be leaked to others, so as not to implicate him..." Chen Lifu also had a bitter face - although Cao Xiaomin knew that this information could not be warned by Chiang Kai-shek, could Chen Guofu be able to? A person with high status and power would arrange some eyeliner around the boss, but can these eyeliners be exposed? The involvement is too big!

"We have to think of a way to get the General Command to cancel this operation, otherwise it would be that Guangdong does not have enough air force, but that the Yangtze River War Zone is in danger!" Cao Xiaomin said to Chen Lifu: "Even if we can't tell it, at least we must find a way to delay this operation until General Chennard goes to Chongqing to explain his insights..."

Yes, 100,000 is urgent. Chen Lifu didn't expect that this information was so important. Once a mistake was made, it would cause huge losses to the entire Yangtze River War Zone Air Force and could not maintain air supremacy. The two of them quickly exchanged their opinions. Chen Lifu decided to fly back to Chongqing to conduct an event the next morning to find a way to block Chen Cheng's air raid.

It was already deep in the night, but Cao Xiaomin could not fall asleep. All kinds of anxiety and confusion filled his thoughts. He walked into the yard alone and hurried in the north wind: he was in a high position, but he was like a tiger. He knew that such a big crisis was placed in front of him, but he could not break it... If it was something that his own spy line was discovered, he could still go to Chiang Kai-shek to be honest with everything. At most, he would curse and maybe nothing would happen and it would be over, but Chen Guofu was stuck in the middle!

The most important thing in a political alliance is loyalty and mutual trust. If he reveals the matter, the relationship he has worked hard to establish with Chen Guofu will disappear. But... a group of American youth with blurred images with a hearty smile seems to be looming in his mind. This group of people is not for fame and fortune. Most of them are inspired by a sense of justice. Although they may have a sense of superiority, no matter how a group of people who can sacrifice their lives for the righteous cause in their hearts is not worthy of respect! Cao Xiaomin has a feeling: If these American youth suffer from something unexpected, it is Cao Xiaomin's sin!

What if his Taiwan bombing plan and Chen Cheng's plan were in conflict?... Even so, it would probably be useless. Chen Cheng would not cancel his action. Maybe he would be even more proud: This is the best support for the Guangdong War Zone!... I can only let Chennard come up with the plan as soon as possible and kick him back to Chongqing!... But all the arrangements in the Chiayi area have not been completed yet, and many details do not clarify how Chennard can make a good combat plan in two days!?

Is there any way for Chennard to arrive in Chongqing within these two days? Cao Xiaomin was thinking hard, but he suddenly had another cold war: What if Chennard didn't have the chance to meet Chiang Kai-shek when he arrived in Chongqing!?

This is the most likely thing: everyone knows the influence of Chennard on the American Airlines New Volunteer Team, but Chiang Kai-shek is a person who likes to control. Will he let this air force listen to Chennard? Maybe he will deliberately arrange an air battle commanded by him or Chen Cheng before Chen knows about it, so as to increase his influence in this air force!

It’s not that Chen Cheng is actually what Chiang Kai-shek wants to do! Cao Xiaomin suddenly figured out this layer again, which made him even more anxious: If this is the case, it would be useless to send Chennard back. Chiang Kai-shek would definitely avoid Chennard for other reasons for a few days until the end of the air battle!

Even if Chennard goes back, it may not be solved! Cao Xiaomin felt even more troublesome. Some of his originally imagined plans that he could try were not implemented, as long as everything was as expected.

The sky was getting brighter, and it was another sleepless winter night; Cao Xiaomin, who was awakening himself with the cold wind, suddenly felt a chill coming, and his whole body shivered several times!

Oh no! I'm not cold, right? Cao Xiaomin put his hands on his forehead, and his cold hands felt as hot as hot as it was!

Just when the Guangdong battlefield was ready to kick off the second battle, and the main force of the Chinese Air Force was about to fight to die, Cao Xiaomin fell ill because of anxiety and fatigue, and was troubled by many unsolvable problems...
