Chapter 241 Murderous Intent Surges
~Date: ~October 07~
In the command hall of the director Xi department in Nanjing≥, an operational staff member with a clear tendency shouted loudly: "The Red side successfully discovered and defeated a Blue side's operation to pass through the barrier in a disguise of a seaship."
A not-so-warming applause immediately sounded in the hall. Lao Jiang's face looked a little better and nodded reservedly, not as gloomy as before.
He also quietly breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed secretly: "It's so lingering! I almost let that guy succeed." Looking at the detailed report that the two large seaships with thousands of tons were very likely armed versions with artillery. If they crossed the defense line of Jiangyin Fortress and went upstream, they would choose any position that others were neglected, and covered up with several cannons. If they put down a large number of speedboats, they would be able to put down several companies of troops in less than half an hour. At that time, they would suddenly launch a back attack, and Jiangyin Fortress would be in danger!
Once the fortress fails, several large landing ships can drive in. At that time, as long as they transport heavy troops up, the Wufu defense line and Xicheng defense line are all useless in the entire concept! Attack on both sides, easily break through, and then respond to the land army and push them all the way, and you can directly hit the city of Nanjing!
Very vicious means! Disguising an airplane and a cargo ship, what else do they have to do next? Xiaogui Yongqing can seize this opportunity and be wary of it!
A group of Germans saw a little deeper than Chiang Kai-shek. Sekett and General Farkenhausen frowned, feeling even more and more uncomfortable. The Yangtze River waterway is the most complex in the world. It is not just that the channel has not been completely cleaned, the width and narrowness of each section are uncertain, the water flow is rapid and uneven, and accidents are prone to accidents if you are not careful. The key is that important cities on both sides of the water, such as Wuhan and Chongqing, have concessions, and are connected to it are investments and factories of various countries, and ships with the signatures of various countries are constantly traveling. There are also warship gunboats patrolling from Britain, Japan and other warships, gunboats, which are complex and difficult to defend.
In this case, it is a normal method for the task force to enter the cargo ship in disguise, because it is difficult for the defenders to determine their nationality and camp, and this exercise did not completely block the waterway - mainly because they cannot do it, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it! The problem is. Judging from the report just now, the defenders just "discovered". They did not sink or capture. Did the other party deliberately do it? It is not necessarily, how did they run away? It is not clear!
Gui Yongqing is really numb now! He suddenly received a report. At first he couldn't believe it was true. When he was convinced that the two ships turned around and fled, he woke up in a cold sweat and quickly ordered the Jiang defense ship to chase him. However, the cargo ships that were going downstream were not slow at all and they carried naval guns. How easy was it to stop them?
He hurriedly ordered all departments along the route to increase their efforts on the river bank. He must not give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it, but at this moment, the air defense guard post at the front end reported that the enemy fighter jets had flown from the sea!
Unlike what most people in the observation group expected, the Blue Army did not immediately dispatch fighter jets to fight for air supremacy at the beginning of the exercise, but used various sneaky means to investigate infiltration and test the situation. After only a few moves, half of the Red Army troops were mobilized. A regiment's troops were to guard the river defense line, which was 40 kilometers wide, which was simply too short! It was like scattering the face, and it was simply passive to deal with it, and it was at a disadvantage first!
Originally, the focus of the exercise was on several places, including Wu Fu's defense line, Jiangyin Fortress, Jiangfang certain place and in the air. It doesn't matter if Gui Yongqing was busy. The ground deployment was already messy, with people everywhere and no one everywhere! All the troops were already dispersed! Looking at the small troops scattered on the sand table, many impatient observers were already shaking their heads. If this continues, they will definitely lose!
Now that the Air Force has finally appeared, what will the results of both sides?
The Zhoushan Base's two P-21A fighter jets continued to rise to the sky in just three minutes, climbed to a height of 3,000 meters and were slightly organized, and rushed directly towards Jiangyin at a speed of 360 kilometers per hour! This speed was exactly between the speed of the Boeing 218 of the Central Air Force and the Hawk 3 of the 320-400 kilometers, which was considered to be averaging.
Such take-off speed and formation speed have surprised the observation group. In their minds, the Chinese Air Force is still in its primitive stage, and it is better to fly in the sky without falling. Including the Japanese Air Force, they all seem very immature. The Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of the Great Wall show that the two sides are not very large in numbers, not very technical and tactics, and mismatched usage. Especially in the eyes of the Germans, why do hundreds of fighter jets need to be used in dispersed manner? It is better to concentrate and cooperate with the powerful and fast troops to tear open the defense line on the battlefield and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! How could there be random use in random use!
The on-site referee team calculated with the table, and there were also observers in the air, so they couldn't tell any lies. Zhoushan Airport was very narrow, and the planes were launched one after another, and the speed was already impressive!
Given the advantages of local operations, it was normal to find that it was normal to attack fighter jets. Nanjing and Zhenjiang Airport immediately responded. Two squadrons led by Gao Zhihang, 18 Hawks and 3rd Hawks took off. The aircraft groups of the two sides met in the airspace near Wuxi. The twelve Blue Army fighters immediately dispersed into two groups and opened up the gap, forcing the two Red squadrons to pursue and take into account the battlefield.
The Hawk-3 formation, which could not exert its numerical advantage, immediately showed its disadvantage! It is true that their biplane flexibly climbed quickly, but the horsepower, small range and small protection are almost gone, and there is no radio communication. The open cabin is a great threat to the pilot. The two machine guns with a caliber of 12.7mm and 7.62mm caliber are even worse than those of the opponent's 20mm machine guns.
Technically and tactical, Gao Zhihang and others are already the top in China, and they are all excellent compared to the Japanese Air Force, but compared to the group of trump cards of the special service fleet, HNA, it is not a little worse! These guys are all old birds who passed the assessment in the simulation training center. Hawke San's speed and movements are so slow in their eyes! With thousands of hours of running-in on the simulator, the tacit understanding of the two-machine formation is to an outrageous level!
Relying on his strong physique and fighting against unreasonable dog fights, the two Red Squadrons killed more than half an hour! Except for Gao Zhihang and a few others who could barely escape from the battlefield with scars with their tenacious will and genius skills, the rest were all colorful and colorful, and I don’t know how many bullets they had been hit!
Lao Jiang's face was dark again! But there was no problem with the judgment of the referee team. The cockpit armor of the P-21a could not even penetrate the 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and the fuel tank was self-contained. If you were hit, you could fly back crookedly.∞Bar, repair and work.
But the Central Air Force's fighter jets are all biplane light shrinkage versions, neither have radio, no ejection chairs, no closed cockpits, and no armor... In short, once they are hit by a 20mm machine gun, they will either die or be injured, no exception!
Chiang Kai-shek was frustrated! But he had no choice but to ensure the balance of power, he limited the Blue Army to only dispatch 12 fighter jets. 12 Boeing 218s, 18 Hawks, and dozens of other mixed fighter jets. Including the r.32 brought back from Italy by Song Ziwen, 50 or 60! Four or five times the force to surround, right?
But he ignored too many things. He might be able to pull out fifty or sixty fights and beat them up, but he couldn't do it at all, and command was a problem!
But the good news is not that there is no such thing. When the Blue Army was exhausted and retreated, they were tracked and found the takeoff site, which could be an aircraft carrier representing the enemy's army or an airport by the sea. Like the Gongda Spinning Mill during the Battle of Shanghai, 12 Boeing 218s and a squadron's R.32 mounted bombs took off, and went to attack and bomb. This was an important method taught by German instructors in the Mainland and Advisory Group. After the war began, they found the enemy's airport and aircraft carrier to concentrate their air force to sank!
The air defense power of all combined ships in this era is not very good. Only the newly built "German-class armored ships" and Japanese Miao-level high-end, Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers and other goods have large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, but they are not in a system. It is probably not easy to bomb the team of aircraft.
Shortly after the p-21a aircraft group flew back to the Zhoushan base, a shrill air defense alarm suddenly sounded!
Residents near Zhoushan base, including people in the county, have long known that there will be exercises these days, so they are not surprised when they hear the news. They do whatever they should do, or simply stop and prepare to watch the fun, but it scares a few people in the fishing port!
On a small fishing boat that is the most ordinary, a few short, dumb men dressed in fishermen jumped up like conditioning reflexes, reaching out to touch the guns in the mezzanine of the cabin. The leader turned around and shouted in crappy Chinese: "Bastard! This is a military exercise, why are you panic?!"
Looking up, it was the long-lost Takaki Tanaka!
At this time, Nakasa Tanaka had the strong scenery two years ago? He was dark and thin, with a shaved beard. If he hadn't been his face of hostility, he could not hide it. When he grinned and showed a yellow teeth and smiled, he was really not much different from the local fishermen.
When he came here to investigate, Takaki Tanaka took great risks. But he had no other choice. The "Zhu Agency" was established for more than a year and had not made any achievements. Now the empire's unprecedented major action is imminent. If he still cannot seize the opportunity, he will have to get out of here in shame and seek another goal.
How could Tanaka, who was arrogant and arrogant, accept such failure? He gritted his teeth and decided to take action himself, disguise himself as a fisherman and embed him in Zhoushan Port to investigate the situation. It’s true that he has made up his mind to practice Chinese hard in the past two years. He has been fooling ordinary people in a good way. He has been here for two days. On the surface, he is just a fisherman from other places who are sheltering from the wind and resting. There are hundreds of boats like them around, which is a good means of disguising!
After scolding the others, he went out steadily and stood on the deck. Like everyone else, he looked up at the fighter plane flying in the distance, glanced at the double-equipped 305 turret high above the mountain, and squeezed the stubby fingers covered with black hair tightly, and his heart was secretly ruthless: "Damn Zhu Bin, this time, you can definitely eliminate it completely! Wait, wait for the arrival of the thunder strike!"
Shortly afterwards, radio waves were sent out quickly with the exercise situation and on the east sea of the Ryukyu Islands, thousands of kilometers away. The Kaga aircraft carrier was moving forward with more than a dozen warships, including four of the "Kaohsiung-class" heavy cruisers that had just been built.
Inside the flagship commander's room, Major General Yoshida Shingo stared indifferently in the direction of Masahiro and whispered: "Send all, turn!"
Chapter completed!
