Gao Jiwen shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, there is no need to ask about the purpose of the Japanese 56th Search Regiment. It is already obvious to the lice on the bald man's head.
Our counter-infiltration, reconnaissance and harassment against the Japanese army in the past few days have made the Japanese army feel panic and uneasy. Their only purpose is to use infiltration to infiltrate and harassment to harass. I estimate that the Japanese army will soon attack them in the past few days.
We launched a massive attack."
Hearing this, Song Changgui's heart immediately jumped up. Although he was only a small second lieutenant, he still knew the situation of the 200 Division.
These days, as the siege of Tonggu gradually increased, the supply of the 200 Division became more and more difficult. Not only were weapons and ammunition almost exhausted, but even food began to become more and more difficult.
Let's put it this way, when Song Changgui and his team went out on patrol, the weapons and ammunition were collected from various troops. This shows that the 200 Division is now almost running out of ammunition and food.
Originally, Gao Jiwen's idea was to send a capable reconnaissance team to not only harass the Japanese army, but also force the Japanese army to take care of themselves. But now it seems that the Japanese commander is not a fool. After a short period of confusion, he has already seen through Gao Jiwen's plan.
Just when Song Changgui felt worried, Gao Jiwen's voice rang in his ears: "Okay, you have worked hard these days, go back and rest first."
"Yes!" Although he was still worried in his heart, Song Changgui also understood that such a major matter related to the fate of the entire division was not something that a young second lieutenant like him should worry about. What he had to do now was to go back and take a nap immediately to regain his energy as soon as possible.
In order to kill a few more Japs before dying in battle.
After Song Changgui retreated, Liu Shuren, the leader of the engineering corps, said with some concern: "Sir, it seems that the Japanese have seen through our plan. How about we shrink our defenses first? Maybe we can survive for a few more days?"
Gao Jiwen shook his head: "No... Now that the Japanese have control of the air, once we shrink our troops, our five or six thousand troops gathered together will only become living targets for the aircraft."
Rather than shrinking our troops, it is better to spread them out. This is the best way to preserve our strength."
"well!"
The willow tree man's face turned red with anger: "I'm sorry for the British uncle. We traveled thousands of miles to save them. It's just that these grandsons are ungrateful, and they actually ignored us.
If it weren't for those turtle grandsons, Master Dai wouldn't be glorious!"
When thinking of the sacrificed division commander Dai Anlan, Gao Jiwen also fell silent. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to discuss this matter. You should go back and check the air defense camouflage of each department again. I guess the little Japs will be there soon."
An air strike has been launched."
"Buzz buzz..."
As soon as Gao Jiwen finished speaking, a faint roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and soon the roar became louder and louder.
"airplane!"
Gao Jiwen and Willow Man looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.
Afterwards, Gao Jiwen strode out of the yard without saying a word, climbed up the ladder to the roof and looked through the telescope in the direction of the sound.
At this time, the willow tree man also shouted from below: "Master, come down quickly, it's dangerous up there."
Gao Jiwen said disdainfully: "That's nonsense. I'm standing here. If the little devil can still see me, I will admit it even if he beats me to death... Hey... No... Those planes... They are..."
Gao Jiwen exclaimed, and as his hands quickly adjusted the focus of the telescope, the fleet of aircraft in the sky soon appeared in his eyes.
Dozens of transport planes were getting closer and closer, escorted by the same number of fighter planes. On the wing of a huge transport plane, a clearly visible blue sky and white sun emblem appeared in front of him.
Gao Jiwen's voice suddenly became excited: "That's...that's our plane!"
As the plane approached, more and more soldiers saw the approaching group of aircraft clearly.
Seeing this familiar badge, Gao Jiwen was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He almost yelled at Willow Man: "Order the troops not to shoot, that is our plane! Also, order the troops immediately to prepare for the airdrop."
Supplies!”
Facts have proved that Gao Jiwen's premonition was right. When the fleet flew over Tonggu City, the door of the leading transport fleet opened wide, and soon white parachutes began to appear in the sky.
One thousand meters above the ancient city, Doolittle, who was sitting in the cockpit of a C-47 transport plane, looked at the increasingly clear Tonggu City on the ground and said into the microphone: "Attention, transport team, speed up the delivery.
After the release is completed, return immediately and do not stay! The escort team will pay attention to the surroundings to prevent Japanese planes from sneak attacks!"
"clear!"
For this airdrop, the fleet was loaded with supplies from Liantai County Airport and flew directly to the ancient city. After emptying the supplies, it was diverted to Yangon Airport to land. In order to ensure the safety of the transport aircraft, the fleet was escorted by F6F Hellcat fighter jets throughout the entire journey.
Since the distance from Liantai to Tonggu is about 2,000 kilometers, the maximum range of C47 transport aircraft and Hellcat fighter jets is only about 2,500 to 2,600 kilometers with full fuel.
According to the plan, after the airdrop was completed, they had to fly to Yangon Airport and land immediately.
In addition, it was the first time for the pilots of the transport aircraft to fly to the Myanmar line, and they had to consider the situations encountered on the road or enemy aircraft.
Therefore, the requirements for navigators are very high. Once any mistakes are made, the aircraft will become lost or lack of fuel, etc., which will be a devastating blow to the fleet.
So Gao Hongming gave this task to Doolittle.
No way, who has the most experience as this American? He can take off from an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan, and then fly to China safely and land. It would be difficult for the entire Liantai Flying Corps to find another person with this level of skill.
And Doolittle did live up to expectations, bringing the transport fleet safely to the sky above Tonggu, and airdropped all 528 tons of supplies into the sky above Tonggu City.
"Airdrop...it's an airdrop!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brothers, our plane has airdropped something for us!"
"Rush forward and grab the airdrop!"
At this time, the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the 200 Division in Tonggu City saw the dense parachutes in the sky. Many people shouted with excitement, and countless soldiers rushed out of the bunkers in the direction of the parachutes landing.
go.
Soon, the first parachute fell and hit a large street heavily.
"boom!"
With a dull crashing sound, a large wooden box hit the hard ground. The lid instantly broke a big hole, and more than a dozen small wooden boxes rolled out from inside.
A captain stepped forward and pried open the box, and a neat row of M24 grenades appeared in front of him. He counted briefly and found that there were 24 in one box.
There are twenty-four boxes in an airdrop box, which means that the grenades in an airdrop box are enough to equip a company of soldiers.
He raised his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "What are you still doing? Come here and take these grenades back quickly."
Platoon Leader Wang, immediately lead your brothers to search for other airdrop boxes, collect everything and count the quantities, and you must move quickly."
"clear!"
While the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division were busy searching the streets for airdrops, more than a dozen female nurses and soldiers in charge of guards at the field hospital located in the south of the city were dumbfounded when they looked at the team in front of them.
Because this airdrop box is different from others, the contents inside are actually wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and there are many buttons and antennas on these iron lumps. No one knows what this is.
Just when they were a little confused, Yu Xiaobo, then director of the field hospital, arrived.
