In May of 1941, more than 100,000 troops from China and Japan fought in Zhongtiao Mountain, causing rivers of blood to flow. However, on the other side of the world, in the United States, there was peace and harmony.
One sunny morning, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the then President of the United States, was sitting on the lawn quietly bathing in the rising sunshine. A tall, elegant woman with short blond hair was accompanying him.
Next to him, this woman is his lover and secretary Missy LeHand.
Roosevelt closed the newspaper, handed it to Missy and said: "Look, the Japanese and the Chinese are fighting again in Zhongtiao Mountain. Can't these two countries stop for a while?"
Missy put the newspaper into the pocket behind her wheelchair and replied with a smile: "Mr. President, I don't care whether the two countries are fighting or not. I only know that you have been basking in the sun for half an hour. Continue to stay."
Lawn can be harmful to your skin."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Roosevelt laughed: "I didn't expect that the majestic President of the United States of America can't even decide on his own time to bask in the sun."
Missy ignored Roosevelt's complaints and pushed the wheelchair towards the office not far away. "If you have any objections to me, you can find another secretary."
"This won't work. Without you, what's the point of being the president?"
The two came to the office while flirting, where his presidential advisers Harry Hopkins, Samuel Rosenman and Robert Sherwood were already waiting inside.
Seeing Roosevelt come in, the three of them stood up and said hello to him.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Roosevelt waved his hand for the three of them to sit down, then turned and said: "Dear Missy, could you please give us each a cup of coffee?"
"sure."
Missy twisted her sexy waist and walked out.
Roosevelt watched her leave and closed the door before turning his head back and looking at the three of them, "Everyone, you didn't come here early in the morning just to have breakfast with me, right?"
"Of course not Mr. President."
Harry stood up, took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Roosevelt, "Mr. President, this is news from China. I think you'd better take a look."
After Roosevelt took the folder, he took his glasses from the side and put them on before starting to read.
After a while, he put down the folder and his expression became serious: "Harry, is the authenticity of this information reliable?"
"I think the reliability is at least 80%. After all, Mr. Goth (U.S. Ambassador to China) will not and does not have the guts to deceive us with this kind of fake news. It will not do him any good!"
"If that's the case, the problem is serious."
Roosevelt took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, his expression becoming particularly gloomy: "I didn't expect that a small local armed force in China would be equipped with fighter jets that have not yet been mass-produced by the United States of America. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Could it be that the Chinese stole our fighter blueprints?"
"That's the problem." Harry smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "But everyone knows that this is impossible. With China's industrial strength, let alone stealing our drawings and copying them, even if we
If you give them aircraft parts, it's still unclear whether they can assemble them themselves."
Samuel and Robert on the side also showed distressed expressions, wanting to accuse the Chinese of stealing the advanced American aircraft design drawings and producing them themselves. I am afraid that even the Americans themselves do not believe this. This is just like the primitive tribes in Africa who stole the American aircraft design drawings.
It is just as absurd to build an aircraft carrier yourself after drawing the aircraft carrier blueprint.
"That's because someone within our own body secretly sells aircraft to China... uh... pretend I didn't say it." Speaking in general, Roosevelt also woke up. How could an aircraft that had just been tested and not even mass-produced by the United States be so popular?
Sold in bulk to Chinese people.
"Mr. President, do you think there is such a possibility?" Robert sitting on the other side tried: "Other countries stole our drawings, made them and gave them to the local warlord named Gao Hongming."
"This is not very likely." Samuel shook his head. "There are only a few countries in the world that can manufacture aircraft. Germany has severed diplomatic relations with China. The United Kingdom has no time to take care of itself. The Soviet Union is now busy dealing with the Germans. How can they have time to devote themselves to it?"
Open up an aircraft production line for the Chinese people."
"yes!"
Just as everyone let out a sigh, the office door was opened, and Missy walked in with a tray, handed everyone a cup of coffee, and then walked out lightly.
After taking a sip of coffee, Roosevelt said domineeringly: "In fact, in my opinion, there is no need to make it so complicated. We can just send people to him directly. I don't believe there is anyone in China who dares to refuse the inquiry of the great United States of America.
"
After hearing this, several staff members also expressed their agreement. There are indeed countries in the world that have the courage to deny the United States face, but this does not include China...
Bullets were flying and roaring all over the sky over Gaojiazhuang. Dozens of B-25 bombers and Stuka dive bombers covered the entire sky. Bombs fell in clusters on the positions of the Japanese 33rd Division, fierce bombing
As if to destroy the entire division, almost the day after the 215th Regiment made a sneak attack on Yangping Town and was completely wiped out, Thirty-Three suffered the most intensive bombing and artillery shelling in history.
As the ground shook, particles of soil and gravel fell from the side walls of the trenches at the front. The gravel fell on the helmets, making a crisp metal knocking sound. The officers and soldiers squatting in the trenches looked towards the sky, and saw
A dozen twin-engine B-25 bombers were passing overhead.
Wu Chengfeng, who was inspecting the trenches, looked at the huge smoke cloud rising into the air in the distance and knew that it was the dust and smoke raised by the explosion of the 250 kilogram aerial bomb. Before the general attack, the flying brigade would devote all its strength to leveling the Japanese positions. For several hours,
The Air Force dropped at least over a hundred tons of heavy-duty aerial bombs here.
Fighting attack with attack was a decision made by Gao Hongming, Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan.
Instead of allowing the Japanese army to attack all three of them in turn and defeat them all, it would be better to take advantage of the period when the Japanese Army Aviation Force was severely damaged and could not mobilize troops to support Zhongtiao Mountain for a while, and concentrate its superior forces to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. The best way to launch a counterattack
The location is naturally Yangping Town, which has open terrain.
He stuck his head out and looked forward. Wu Chengfeng felt his blood boiling all over his body, and a great joy arose in his heart. He heard the symphony-like explosions coming from the Japanese position, and looked at the black smoke when the bombs exploded on the Japanese position.
and firelight, he felt as if he was in a hot ocean, his body was a little bumpy, and his heart was beating hard. The intensive bombing and shelling were the prelude to the general attack.
