What exactly does Kong Jie want to do?

In fact, according to the original plan, Kong Jie just wanted to use the battle in Licheng to first consume the Japanese flying troops with ground air defense forces, and then take the opportunity to send a team of secretly built aviation units to create the first conflict between the Eighth Route Army aviation units and the Japanese flying units.

Confrontation.

It would be great if we could take the opportunity to destroy a few Japanese aircraft and fully demonstrate the power of the Eighth Route Army aviation force.

Although the aviation force secretly built by the Eighth Route Army is far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of background.

However, in this air-to-air combat in Licheng, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative.

The air defense force built by infantry on the ground can be used to deal with the Japanese flying troops.

After experiencing the disastrous defeat of the May Day raids, the Japanese conventional land forces are now unable to provide timely reinforcements to Licheng.

Kong Jie wanted to take advantage of the attrition of the Japanese flying troops by the ground air defense forces and the surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army aviation forces on the Japanese flying troops, to traumatize the Japanese flying troops in one fell swoop.

Sitting at the frontline air defense headquarters in Licheng, Ke witnessed with his own eyes the carpet-like air raids and deployments made by the Japanese army against Licheng.

Kong Jie was keenly aware of it.

The Japanese army had long guessed that the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit might secretly take action. They even deliberately set up bait to lure the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit into attacking.

In addition, the strength of the flying troops deployed by the Japanese army in the air attack on Licheng exceeded Kong Jie's expectations.

Just in North and Central China, there were multiple Japanese flying units, bomber formations, and fighter jet formations. The bombs and incendiary bombs they dropped almost plunged the central area of ​​Licheng into a sea of ​​fire.

But looking at the movements of the little Japs, it is obvious that the Japs have a back-up plan, perhaps a more powerful aviation force that has not yet appeared.

Kong Jie guessed that it might be the Japanese flying troops in East China.

It may even be some advanced fighters reinforced by the Japanese Navy.

Under such circumstances... "If we continue to follow our original plan, after a certain amount of consumption of the Japanese flying troops, we will dispatch our aviation troops to take the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

Maybe you just fell into the little devil’s trap!”

All the generals are also aware of this, but they just feel unwilling to do so.

"Old Kong, so we can only watch helplessly as the little devil's flying force goes rampant, and our aviation force, which we have prepared for a long time, can only hide in the aviation base and stand still?"

A team of secret aviation bases, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle has applied for combat many times.

He learned that the Japanese army had invested a large number of flying troops in Licheng. It might be very critical, but Doolittle still resolutely stated that he must participate in the battle.

"Kong, for this battle, our pilots have put in so much sweat and effort. Everyone is looking forward to this battle. Even if we die, we must participate in the battle.

This is particularly important for the morale of our aviation unit!"

Kong Jie responded this way.

"Of course, I didn't say not to let our aviation units participate in the war."

"Then why hasn't the combat order been issued yet?"

"But it's not Licheng!" Kong Jie said in surprise.

"Ah???"

Not to mention Doolittle, all the generals were dumbfounded. The battle against the Japanese flying troops surrounding Licheng had lasted for more than a day.

Kong Jie suddenly said that the Eighth Route Army aviation unit participated in the war, but the combat area was not Licheng.

What exactly does this mean?

"Lao Kong, stop being so pretentious and tell us your plan in detail!"

As everyone's attention gathered, Kong Jie said: "Comrades, when we fight against the Japs, we always take the initiative. When will we let the Japs lead us by the nose?

This time the Japanese carried out carpet bombing in Licheng, and a large number of fighter planes participated in the battle. The purpose is very obvious, which is to destroy the momentum of our Eighth Route Army, disrupt our military parade, and lure our aviation units out to eliminate them in one fell swoop.<

/p>

Under such circumstances, if we foolishly send the aviation force to participate in the war, wouldn't it be just what the little devil wants?"

"So I think that of course our aviation units must participate in the war, but the objects, tasks and content of this war must be appropriately changed."

"How to change it?"

"Change the route and attack Shanghai directly!"

As soon as Kong Jie said these words, the entire command headquarters fell into a dead silence.

Only his voice was heard continuing:

"If you think about it carefully, instead of falling into the trap of the Japs, we would send out aviation units to fight to the death with the flying units specially prepared by the Japs, and our aviation units would have to pay the price of heavy casualties.

Why not think differently?

It’s hard to deal with the Japanese planes flying around in the sky, so let’s just sneak attack directly to the Japanese base camp airport, and bomb it. The little Japanese is parked at the airport, and all the fighter planes that haven’t had time to take off will be blown to pieces by him.<

/p>

What is the saying?

——This fighter plane that has not taken off is no different from a pile of junk!

My preliminary plan is as follows: First, our most mobile fighter squadron will appear in the Licheng area to raid the Japanese bomber formation.

Of course, the Japs are well prepared for the sneak attack by our aviation force. They have already prepared escort fighter jets around the bomber formation. Our fighter jets are relatively small in number. Once entangled by the Japs' fighter jets, the situation will not be good.

.

Therefore, I will make it clear to Lieutenant Colonel Du and the others that we will not entangle with the Japanese army this time. We will quickly evacuate after a wave of sneak attacks. We will use the faster flight speed of our modified fighter planes to lure the Japanese fighter planes away, and then directly

Get rid of it.

This is the first line of battle.

This time, according to my plan, our aviation force is divided into three lines of operations.

This is the second line of combat!

It is to take advantage of our fighter squadron to sneak attack the Japanese flying force and attract the attention of the Japanese army, and at the same time use the second aviation force to sneak attack the Japanese HD Chengnan Airport!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

When Kong Jie said this, Commander Chen's face was already full of excitement.

"Commander, you have to make preparations in advance. Our aviation force will cooperate with the comrades in the Southern Hebei Military Region to fight. We will strive to destroy the Japs' Chengnan Airport. If we can destroy the Japs' fighter planes parked at the Chengnan Airport, we will also fight from Li

It would be best if all the fighter planes and bombers that were temporarily parked at the Chengnan Airport for rest on the battlefield in the city were robbed."

Commander Chen immediately responded: "Haha, Lao Kong, don't worry, I've got the Japs' HD Chengnan Airport covered!"

Kong Jie continued: "As for the third combat unit, this is the ultimate trump card of our aviation unit.

Put all our bombers into the third group.

Attack Shanghai directly and bomb the military airport near Shanghai!

I think everyone knows this. The Japanese have three largest military airports in Shanghai. There are definitely not a few aircraft parked in these airports, including the fuel and ammunition stored by the Japanese.

In addition, these airports have not been subject to large-scale air raids for a long time. Except for some hangars, they are not like permanent airports such as Mingbao Airport and Wuchagou Airport. They even built aircraft fortresses.

As long as our third group of bomber units can successfully reach the three Japanese military airports in Shanghai, they will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese large airports!"

The idea is very clear.

The idea is even more amazing.

Of course, the specific implementation process is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Not to mention whether the Japanese army would be aware of Kong Jie's combat intentions and promptly send planes to intercept the Eighth Route Army's aviation units in mid-air.

It is also a difficult problem whether Doolittle and his team can fly the plane, successfully avoid the Japanese interception along the way, find the large military airport deployed by the Japanese in Shanghai, and successfully launch an air strike.

This requires a lot of intelligence support.

It also requires a lot of luck.

However, Kong Jie was full of confidence in this, "Since we want to fight, let's have a big fight! Since we want to make trouble, let's make trouble with him hard!"

After making the temporary decision to adjust the aviation unit's secret combat plan, Kong Jie quickly reported his thoughts to the headquarters.

At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters, which was temporarily transferred to the air defense headquarters outside Licheng, learned of Kong Jie's idea and supported it with great courage without hesitation.

The deputy commander-in-chief only said one sentence: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Commanders should be treated as suspects and not used as suspects. Kong Jie is sitting at the frontline air defense headquarters in Licheng. There is no one who can understand the situation on the scene better than him.

We should fully support Kong Jie’s combat ideas!”

So the headquarters quickly mobilized to cooperate with Kong Jie's command.

The old brigade commander even went into battle personally and prepared all the required intelligence work in advance.

At this time, the biggest problem is lingering in everyone's mind.

——How to set a precise route in advance, successfully guide Doolittle and his aviation troops to the Shanghai area, and launch bombings against the three large Japanese airports?

The old brigade commander was at a loss to do anything about this. There were a large number of intelligence personnel belonging to the Eighth Route Army in Shanghai, and they had already collected good intelligence on the locations of several large military airports of the Japanese army in the Shanghai area.

There is even information on the deployment of Japanese troops at large airports, the approximate location of anti-aircraft guns, their corresponding parameters, firing height, etc.

If the Japanese army wants to launch a sneak attack on the large Shanghai airport, this information will definitely come in handy.
