Chapter 677 Extinction (1)
(... After the battle in Chongqing, we knew that there was still little hope for the zero-stage battle in contact with the Internet, but I didn't like to wait pessimistically for the enemy to invade and then defend passively. I wanted to use offense to make the enemy anxious, so we were ready to implement a "cross-ocean critical strike" like their combat plan No. 101 earlier than the Japanese... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
The response caused by the great victory of Chongqing's Air Force exceeded any victory, including any battles led by Taierzhuang and Cao Xiaomin, who were born in despair, because this was something that happened before the eyes of the people of Chongqing!
The energetic young people ignited the midsummer with enthusiasm, shining the fire in July brightly in Chongqing, while the older people were excitedly chatting about the air battle a few days ago while enjoying the cool breeze.
"I have never seen so many planes in my life. Fortunately, I ran away while I was shooting. Otherwise, the Japanese planes would have been falling down and they would have smashed Chongqing too..."
"Not it? There are planes hitting down on the eastern suburbs and the southern school grounds. I heard that they have killed people..."
"That General Chen is really not a cover. There are so many Japanese planes that can be done. I heard from the newspaper that it was completely wiped out, but it was all killed. This is such a hero..."
"Hey, who are you talking about? They are General Chennard, not General Chen..."
"Does Chennard still have a surname without Chen..."
After this battle, Chennard's name no longer caused a sensation across the country. Now even the US Air Force is admiring him. No one has said that his rank is just the rank of the general. The US military refuses to recognize it - Americans worship heroes. When Chennard became the winner of the world's largest air battle, almost all American newspapers removed the brackets behind the "general" after the "general" when reporting on this matter. Even the White House spokesperson directly called him General Chennard!
There can't be only one hero, or it's too good to be beautiful; neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Cao Xiaomin agrees with this, so the Chinese government's decision to award Chennard the title of second-level general was immediately passed. It is very simple to grant a foreigner the title of second-level general. There is neither need to worry about people with the same qualifications having ideas nor worry about his authority being too much influence. Everyone is willing to do the icing on the cake. On the day of the title award, the Americans seemed even more excited than the Chinese. Now Chennard is not only a hero of the War of Resistance, but also an American hero, a hero who belongs to the world who represents justice!
Of course, there are some joys and some sorrows. With Chennard's scenery, there is the miserable miserableness of Inoue Narimi. If it weren't for the fact that Yamamoto Iroji almost wiped out the Soviet air force elites over Tulum, and Yamamoto pleaded for Inoue Narimi, Inoue Narimi would probably have to cut off the stomach at this moment. However, this naval general who was extremely likely to become a possible Air Force Minister a few days ago could only be kicked to the aircraft carrier just called the completed one and arranged the HNA troops to receive the aircraft.
Due to the fall of Inoue Narimi's halfway down and the Japanese still couldn't understand how the Chinese Air Force cracked the power of Zero in this war, the Japanese's 101 combat plan, namely the "cross-ocean critical strike" plan, was temporarily shelved.
"This time I really won a lucky chance, but I can only scare the Japanese in a short time. I am worried that the Soviet Union was injured too much this time, and the Japanese have the strength to invade the south; I think when they understand that what really hinders them is the voyage, they will pay more attention to ground propulsion. Not to mention the distance. As long as they take down East Henan, it will be very threatening to us..." Cao Xiaomin took his new combat plan to meet Chiang Kai-shek the next day after Chiang Kai-shek had heard Zhou Zhirou's detailed report: "This Japanese fighter jet is still us in the future.
The enemy has a very amazing range. Fortunately, they are poor elasticity and have limited power. But we also designed simulation tactics for them according to their strengths. Even if they carry the secondary fuel tank, they are not worse than our I-16. At this time, if they take a detour to bypass our defense and bomb the target behind our interceptor line, and then face our fighter jets after dropping the bomb. Then our frontier will be difficult to resist and will still be completely in a passive situation of being beaten."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded worriedly: "Yes, now we can only scare each other for a while, but it is really difficult to keep Chongqing from being bombed. Fortunately, we built a radar station with the help of the British this time. Finally, we can know that they are coming at a certain distance; but apart from the 'hurricane', we do not have a fighter jet that can compete with them, so what should we do? How many 'hurricane' do we have to buy enough? "
"According to General Chennard's view, we can only rely on the 'Hurricane' to adopt high-pressure tactics to force the opponent to throw away the auxiliary fuel tank and fight us. At the same time, we must go with one blow and use the canyon corridor to cover and entangle the enemy. There is no other tactics..." Cao Xiaomin also frowned and said, "Our 'mosquito's' stalking tactics can only be used last time. When the next battle is next time, once the Japanese fight with us instead of being chased by the 'mosquito', they are not counted at all... But I think Japan will not be able to attack us strongly for half a year after the consumption of the Soviet Union and this large air battle. Moreover, I don't like defense, so I plan to take the initiative to attack!"
What? Take the initiative to attack!? Chiang Kai-shek was shocked again.
"We certainly have no choice but to do with Type Zero, but if we send 'mosquitoes' to attack them frequently, they will not be able to defend themselves!" Cao Xiaomin said: "Our 'mosquitoes' are far stronger than them in absolute speed. They cannot catch up; if we take advantage of their lack of enough air defense forces to attack Japan and disrupt their production plans, this will at least delay their offense for more than half a year, which means that they will not be able to conduct a large-scale attack on us within a year!"
This is a countermeasure that Cao Xiaomin had already thought of, and discussed with Chennard: these attacks by the Chinese Air Force are mainly attacking some unguarded targets in Japan. For this reason, some "mosquitoes" can be modified and fuel tanks are added in the cabin to make the "mosquitoes" that become "oil transporters" a voyage of an astonishing 6,000 kilometers. Of course, such aircraft cannot carry any weapons and ammunition, but they can carry some sprayers, and their weapons are sulfuric acid, which is used to destroy the sulfuric acid of Japanese farmland! (The Canadian Air Force has dealt with the Japanese in this way.)
It is the time when Japan's rice fields are heading. At this time, a strong acid attack on a large number of Japanese farmland is enough to cause a large famine in Japan! Chennard was very surprised by Cao Xiaomin's imagination. This god of war is simply a god of destruction. He is familiar with air combat but never thought that he would use such tactics to hurt the enemy's people's livelihood, but in the end he agreed to this plan.
The national war is a war that can do everything possible, especially the weak side, who is already on the line of survival, who has come up with any insidious ideas, can only be said to be a "makeup plan"!
If the "mosquitoes" were only allowed to carry two 50 kilogram bombs, they could attack Tokyo again! When Cao Xiaomin's modification plan was carefully refined by Chennard, Cao Xiaomin would not need to consider other matters. Chennard was enough to give the Japanese a headache!
When Chiang Kai-shek heard the plan code-named "Extinction", his eyebrows also stretched out: If the Chinese Air Force frequently attacked Japan's mainland, how much force could the Japanese concentrate to attack China!?
While the Japanese were still busy accusing each other and shirking each other, China's rear was working overtime day and night to make sulfuric acid; in order to ensure the use of this huge "extinction" plan, it was constantly imported from Hong Kong and Vietnam, and it was expensive for Asia's sulfuric acid. In the aircraft factory, engineers and technicians were working overtime, modifying "mosquitoes" while producing in large quantities, because Chennard discovered that if the Zero Type was to go deep into the inland bombing, it would probably still use night cover to fly for a long time. During the day, mosquitoes could not deal with Zero Type, but in the dark, Zero Type could not beat "mosquitoes"!
"Although our radar cannot capture the Zero movements on the plane, if their general route has been determined, it is still very likely to find them along the way. If we can effectively launch a night battle with the other party, then using the "mosquito" to fight Zero is not a fantasy!" Chennard was infected by Cao Xiaomin. He would try many things that were not confirmed as long as it is possible. He is no longer the pure American cowboy who dogmatically believes that the plane must take three years of test flight before it can be put into battle.
Our national destiny has finally become stronger! Cao Xiaomin learned in the morning that the struggle between the Japanese military in the country was already fierce because of the air battle. When he arrived at the Air Force Command, he saw that no one was distracted here. Everyone was fighting for the goal of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan with one heart and one mind, and couldn't help but feel: the original time and space War of Resistance was so difficult, probably mainly due to domestic reasons? When did China have a real war of resistance with all its might? But now he seems to be able to feel this atmosphere.
By the way, there is another person who is also striving for his own anti-Japanese war thoughts... Cao Xiaomin thought of a date tonight, and in order to thank Wang Jingwei for his kindness last time, he asked He Yan to prepare a family dinner tonight.
After the last time we got together, Cao Xiaomin had roughly guessed Wang Jingwei's method of "can make China a victorious country no matter what"!!!
