Chapter 362 Must Be Earlier than Doolittle
"If I don't post the second chapter before bed, I'll go to the book review area."
Xinzhou Basin, Yuanping airspace.
Facts have proved that boring tests in the test field alone cannot show the true lethality of napalm bombs. After all, human targets don't wail, and they don't smell like barbecue.
Looking at the spectacular battlefield below, the observer in the back seat said with lingering fear:
"Team Fang, the power of the new bombs is really scary. I just took a closer look and found that the Japanese command center has basically lost its combat capability."
"We are really lucky. We didn't encounter any surrendered enemies, otherwise we would have to treat them humanized."
"I heard that the Japanese mainland is full of wooden buildings. It must be very suitable for napalm bombs. I really want to counterattack as soon as possible!"
As soon as this was said, Fang Ziyi was also quite moved.
As a soldier, it was difficult for him to refuse the task of leading a team to bomb the mainland of Japan. What's more, the feasibility of specific implementation was discussed in the internal meeting of the high-level of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.
Although I don't know why Captain Wang Hai and Director Huang always emphasize that the action must be started before April 18 next year.
But the above two people, one is his leader, and the other is the core backbone of the Eighth Route Army. They must have sufficient reasons for choosing the time.
After thinking for a while, Fang Ziyi used the communicator to tell the team members in the back:
"Wait a little longer, it won't be long before your wish comes true. Director Huang is leading the comrades of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau to modify the air overlord."
"As long as the Air Force Third Division, which specializes in bombing, is not established, the task of counterattack will still fall on our Second Division."
"At that time, whether it is the napalm bomb just now or the so-called high-footed cup bomb, we can throw it as hard as we can."
For the current Eighth Route Army, if they want to bomb the mainland of Japan, they only need to solve one problem, that is, the combat radius of escort fighters and bombers.
Unlike the period of the candied paper bombing, most of the coastal cities in the eastern part of the Republic of China have fallen, and there is no way to start from Ningbo and other places.
In this way, if the fighter plane does not have a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, it is impossible to carry out the counterattack mission.
Speaking of this, we have to praise Huang He's foresight.
If he had not chosen the decision tree related to the air force, the current Eighth Route Army Air Force would have a high probability of not starting, let alone bombing the homeland.
Now, as long as he waits until April next year, Huang He can use the military factory in the system to produce Lancaster strategic bombers.
At that time, combined with some modified air overlords, the Japanese who have never seen the world can feel what a terrifying bombing is.
For the escort mission, it is naturally the Mosquito fighter with fast speed and full-time coordinated operations.
In Huang's plan, we must not only open before Li Mei's barbecue stall, but also act before Doolittle's 17th Bombing Group. The Chinese must avenge themselves.
As for whether it will increase the difficulty of the bombing mission of the allies?
Sorry, these things are not within our consideration. I can only wish you a safe journey.
"Okay!"
"Team Fang! I've been waiting for that day to come! Even if it's a one-way ticket, I will board the fighter plane without hesitation. Blood debts must be repaid with blood!"
Although he was facing away from his team members, Fang Ziyi could imagine the other party's firm expression just by the sound.
"Don't worry, Captain Wang and I will definitely take everyone home safely. Okay, hurry back, our mission is not yet completed."
"Received!"
······
Time goes back to five minutes ago, southwest of Yuanping, a commanding height seven kilometers away.
"This is the first time you have seen our Air Force Second Division go all out. How about it, it's not worse than the north."
The words of the army reorganization expert made the tiger in the forest nod silently.
Compared with the north, although the number of their own air force is insufficient, the quality can definitely be ranked among the world's first-class level. If it is a battle of the same scale, even if the German three come, it may not be able to win.
Once the number is made up in the future, it will be easy to surpass the devils and win the championship in Asia.
"It's really strong. Whether it's seizing air superiority or bombing enemy targets, the comrades' performance is very eye-catching. I never expected that our Eighth Route Army would change so much."
"Leave the next battle to me. You, the marching pot, go to Taiyuan to rest for a few days and wait for the good news of the military region's victory."
Hearing the three words "marching pot", the army reorganization expert smiled and shook his head, but his face showed an unconcealable fatigue.
In order to lead the Mongolian Army and the direct troops of the North China Front to the decisive battle site, the deputy division commander has not had a good rest since the end of the Datong Campaign, and has to deal with various emergencies every day.
What's more, the three Japanese lieutenant generals are not stupid. It is not easy to let them fall into the trap. The energy and physical strength required during this period are definitely not small.
"Okay, then the front battlefield will be handed over to you and Xiao Liu. I will wait for your good news in the rear."
"If there is anything you need, please send a signalman to contact me at any time, and I will definitely rush to the command post as soon as possible."
They know their own affairs well. Compared with coordinating the overall situation on the front battlefield, the army reorganization experts are better at building bases and a series of logistical work.
Instead of staying at the front line to join in the fun, it would be more reasonable to go to the rear to help Zhang Wanhe and the deputy chief of staff improve the dispatching work.
Just as the two were talking, the head of the artillery regiment directly under the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, Wen, came to the side of the tiger in the forest.
"Division Commander, the attack of the Second Air Division has entered its final stage. Just now, their commander sent a telegram, specifically emphasizing the destruction of the command system of the Japanese vanguard."
"Now, it's our turn!"
This regiment commander is a cultural person with real talent. His high school education gives him a higher starting point than ordinary soldiers.
After the fall of Hebei, the newly graduated head of the regiment resolutely joined the local resistance organization.
Facts have proved that gold shines everywhere. In just over a year, he became the political commissar of the artillery battalion directly under the military region with his extremely high talent and tenacious will.
With the deployment of a large number of new equipment, the rank of head of the regiment also rose. In this decisive battle, he was in charge of a support force of a reinforced regiment.
The reminder from his subordinates made the tiger in the forest burst out with a strong will to fight. His distinctive eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he looked majestic without being angry.
This battle was his first major battle after returning to China, and he had been planning for many days and nights just to annihilate the enemy.
"Okay! Let's start!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Wen immediately picked up the portable communicator on his waist and loudly ordered the battalion commanders:
"Attention, all guns! Fire at full speed! Don't save shells! Until I call a halt!"
"This time, we will implement artillery coverage on the 110th Division of the North China Front Army! Show the poor guys what real artilleryism is!"
On the artillery positions of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, dozens of M18 cannons and 12 M1s 105mm light howitzers were divided into multiple queues and arranged in a finished product shape.
The former belongs to the artillery regiment directly under the military region, and the latter is the support force of the headquarters artillery brigade.
Behind the gun positions are neatly arranged ammunition boxes.
Although the air supremacy on the battlefield is firmly in the hands of the friendly forces of the Air Force 1st Division. But the experienced soldiers still camouflaged each position.
After all, the devils often go all in, who knows if they will use the remaining fighters to launch a suicidal attack. Details determine success or failure, and it won't be wrong to be cautious.
Since all matters of this battle were planned by the tiger in the forest himself. Therefore, before the war, the artillery regiment directly under the military region got the firing parameters.
In the rough voice of the head of the regiment, the soldiers of each artillery squad acted quickly, and the whole set of preparations was smooth and flowing, even laymen would find it pleasing to the eye.
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
Several flags fell, and the gunners pulled the fuse in their hands.
Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the fire from the muzzle and the scorching air wave, dozens of shells flew towards the vanguard of the 110th Division.
"Keep firing! Don't stop!"
After the first round of shells was fired, the gunners on the battlefield performed their duties and completed the second round of shooting in just a few seconds.
Although the maximum firing rate of the 75 and M1935B can reach an astonishing 15 rounds per minute. But now there is no need for explosive attacks, and the comrades deliberately keep the firing rate at about 10 rounds per minute.
Under the command of the artillery observation, the entire artillery group constantly adjusts the parameters according to the real-time feedback of the impact point, striving to maximize the lethality of each wave of shells. This is the benefit of equipping a portable communicator. (End of this chapter)
