Chapter 215 Ambush Matsui Ishigen
Before the war, influenced by Du Hei's theory of air victory, various military powers developed bombers to varying degrees, and regarded bombers as important air offensive forces... During the war, the development of bombers entered the golden age. The United States designed and manufactured the largest number of bombers, and became the veritable bomber kingdom.
During the war, the strategic bombers of the Allies became a sharp sword hanging high above the head of the German and Italian fascists, which had an important impact on accelerating the war and prompting the early failure of the fascists. Among them, the b-17 air fortress was one of the best, and the concept of strategic bombing was basically pioneered by the b-17 aircraft.
In later generations, the b-17 bomber was the main bomber of the US military in the early days of World War II. Boeing manufactured it and produced a total of 12,700 aircraft. It has 13 heavy machine guns and is a veritable "flying fortress". Although the b-17 has a short range (relatively speaking), it has a large ammunition load and flight altitude, and is strong and reliable. It can often fly back to the airport "staggeringly" after being severely damaged, thus saving many crew members.
The b-17 bomber has a bomb load of up to 8 tons, a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers, a flight altitude of 10,000 meters, and its famous popularity in later generations have become the choice of bombers for the Air Force Division in the future.
In addition, the b-17 bomber is also the world's first large bomber equipped with radar sights and can accurately drop bombs at high altitudes.
Ye Feng secretly exchanged some fighter jets and bombers from the "Nuwa" system at Xiaoshan Airport in several batches. Among them, there were a few fighter jets, and 24 were temporarily exchanged, with a few bombers, and only 12 were temporarily exchanged, and in addition, several transport aircraft were also exchanged.
The fighter jet is a German-style Messerschmitt, and the bomber is an American-style air fortress. Logistical supply may be a little inconvenient. However, both aircraft are in service and have a very high price ratio.
Mid-December.
After being dismissed, he stayed in Nanjing for several days. Matsui Ishien was finally leaving. Although he was dismissed and returned to China, the newly appointed Okamura Yasuji gave Matsui Ishien to see him off in person.
What made Matsui Ishien very excited was that the respected prince, Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya, also went to the train station to see him off.
Nanjing Railway Station is heavily guarded, with a large number of Japanese devils running at five steps and one 10 steps. In the station, there are even Japanese generals gathered. In addition to the two Japanese generals, Hikarihiko Asakamiya and Nishio Okamura, there are also many Japanese lieutenant generals, major generals, and even some colonels, Nakasou and other officers.
Most of these officers are division commanders, chiefs of staff, brigade commanders, etc., and so many senior officers come to see you off. I don’t know whether it is for the sake of Okamura Yanji or Matsui Ishien's face, but it is estimated that most of the former is.
Seeing so many senior officers seeing him off, Matsui Ishien even felt a little emotional, and his eyes were even a little wet.
Next to the train platform, there is a special train, which is the train that Matsui Ishien will take. It will take a train from Nanjing to Shanghai, and then board a warship in Shanghai and return to Japan.
On the train, Matsui Ishien waved goodbye to the young Japanese officers of all levels who sent him, while Asakamiya Hikari looked at an inconspicuous sign on the locomotive in front of him, a small Japanese plaster flag.
It is normal to put a plaster flag on the train, and there are also those inserted on the locomotive. However, this plaster flag was ordered by Asakamiya Hirohiko to quietly insert it. Looking at this plaster flag, the smug look in Asakamiya Hirohiko's eyes flashed and no one noticed it.
The train finally drove out of Nanjing Railway Station slowly. Matsui Ishigen looked at the backward scene of Nanjing street outside the train, and couldn't help but think of his day in Nanjing. At the same time, he also thought of Ye Feng. In Matsui Ishigen's opinion, if it weren't for Ye Feng, he would never have returned to Japan in such a shame.
......
From Nanjing, Jiangsu to Shanghai, it is called the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Construction started in 1905 and was completed in 1908. Because Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China at that time, it was once called the "Beijing-Shanghai Railway". The total length of the line is 311 kilometers, from Shanghai North Station to Nanjing Xiaguan Station, there are 37 stations along the way.
After a long time of driving, the special train that Matsui Ishien took was traveling all the way, and it did not stop at any station. It has passed Suzhou and is not very far from Shanghai.
In the luxuriously arranged carriage, Matsui Ishigen was wiping his shiny command knife. He was no longer the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army. Matsui Ishigen felt that he liked this command center in particular. He had to wipe it carefully when he was fine...
There was a knock on the door outside the carriage, and a Japanese master came to report: "Grandmaster, we have passed the Suzhou Station. In a few hours, we will reach Shanghai."
"I got it, you go out."
Matsui Ishigen stayed alone, wanting to be quiet, and the whole car was alone. Even the little ghost who served him, Matsui Ishigen didn't want to see more.
About ten kilometers east of Suzhou, a large area of dense thatched grass beside the railway was lying quietly there, and there were even yellow thatched grass on everyone's body. If you didn't walk in, you wouldn't be able to find it.
At this time, everyone was motionless and looked at the end of the railway. These special forces members were here for Matsui Ishigen. Ye Feng did not intend to let Matsui Ishigen go back to his hometown.
With the information from Asakamiya Hikari, Ye Feng naturally knew when Matsui Ishien's train passed this location, and naturally knew the plaster flag sign on the locomotive.
Even I know the details of this train, how many Japanese soldiers are there, the weapons deployment, and which carriage Matsui Ishike is in, all of this is clearly known.
This operation was led by Long Yi, who, along with the special forces members who participated in the operation, waited for Matsui Ishigen to pass by.
Long Yi has been lurking here for one or two hours. This is a carefully selected best place. Long Yi looked at the front of the railway, then looked at the time on his watch, thinking in his heart that the goal should be coming soon.
About ten minutes later, the sound of a train driving was faintly heard. Gradually, the sound became more and more obvious. It was obvious that a train was coming, and it was probably Matsui Ishike's special train.
"Please note, the target train is here." Long Yi shouted in a low voice.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, a train was spitting white smoke and drove over, and a plaster flag on the front of the car was very dazzling.
