Chahar's military industrial zone has a security department with a level of confidentiality, which is second only to the special-level security department. They are Chahar's new weapons experimental area. All new weapons that Chahar wants to test will be
It is being carried out here. Today, the security level of the experimental area, which was already very tight, has been strengthened. Starting from mid-morning, thousands of soldiers wearing black uniforms and wearing black tiger marks on their arms surrounded the place.
It's so tight that people without temporary special passes are not allowed to enter here at all.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a dozen dark green jeeps drove in outside the experimental area. When the convoy stopped, dozens of star-studded soldiers got out of the vehicles. They supported a young general and walked toward the building.
There was a temporary stand at the testing ground.
The leader is Su Tong. He is here today to watch a weapons test called the Giant Gunship. The purpose of this test is to test an air-to-ground support plan proposed by Su Tong using a Giant transport aircraft modified.
In the recent war against Japan, faced with a large number of Japanese individual soldiers, convoys and other targets that lacked protection but were scattered in large numbers, using Stuka bombers or heavy bombers to deal with these individual targets was like using anti-aircraft artillery to swat mosquitoes.
What a waste. The current Army urgently needs a ground support aircraft with powerful firepower and long idle time. This reminds our Commander Su of the American air gunboat AC130 in another time and space. Although there is no C130 in Chahar now
This transport aircraft can also be modified by other transport aircraft. Su Tong immediately thought of the Giant transport aircraft. After he mentioned this idea to the people at the aircraft manufacturing company, the people from the aircraft manufacturing company tinkered for two months to use the Giant transport aircraft.
An original version of the aerial gunship was created.
This big guy named Flying Gunship was modified from a giant transport aircraft. Search and sighting devices and guns were installed on the door, side of the cabin, etc., and weapon racks were added to form a "Flying Gunship"
When Su Tong and others sat down one by one, a staff member in blue uniform walked over and reported: "Sir, the preparations are complete. Please give instructions, sir."
"start"
"Yes" the staff immediately took out the walkie-talkie and started to communicate. After a while, a huge giant transport aircraft flew in from a distance. Only after this thing flew in did everyone realize that many ferocious things were exposed around the originally sealed aircraft.
muzzle.
When the plane flew over the shooting range, one side of the plane was pointed at the shooting range. Each of the 20, 30, and even 75-mm caliber artillery guns on the fuselage aimed at dozens of targets on the shooting range and opened fire violently.
Amidst bursts of fire, the target on the ground suddenly burst into flames, causing sand and rocks to fly.
Ten minutes later, when the gunboats in the air stopped firing, the people on the viewing platform discovered that the abandoned armored vehicles, wooden figures, and bunkers that were originally used as targets had been beaten to pieces, and some had even disappeared without a trace.
.
"Okay." Jiang Baili, who was excited to see it, happily said to Su Tong: "Jianming, this kind of gunboat that stays in the air for a long time and has fierce firepower is exactly the fire support that our ground troops urgently need at present."
Gao Zhihang on the side also happily said to Su Tong: "Yes, now our bombers in the air have limited range and cannot stay in one place for a long time to support ground troops. Moreover, it is too wasteful to use bombers to bomb individual targets. There are
With this gunboat, our bombers can be freed from tedious ground attack missions to do more things."
Su Tong shook his head, "Don't be too happy. This giant gunboat is extremely powerful in ground attack, but its defense against air threats is zero. If it does not have absolute air superiority, it will be useless on the battlefield."
It can only be a living target."
Gao Zhihang was not worried about this. He said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about the issue of air supremacy now. After several years of exploration and construction, our pilot training system has gradually matured and can now provide troops with
Thousands of pilots will be transported, and this number will gradually increase in the future."
Su Tong nodded. He knew that the battle for air supremacy was actually about the production of aircraft and the consumption of pilots. In air combat, the life of a pilot is actually very short. So far, nearly 300 pilots in Chahar have died in the blue sky.
.I have the backing of the moon base, and the loss of the aircraft is basically negligible. As long as I want to, I can have as much as I want. The only shortcoming is the training of pilots. I can’t tell it now when fighting the Japanese. If it happens in the future
Large-scale wars with the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States and other countries will definitely make people feel heartbroken because of the loss of pilots. Fortunately, Gao Zhihang has now established Chahar's flight training system. With this foundation,
After that, my life became much better.
Su Tong turned around and said seriously to Gao Zhihang: "Brother Ziheng, I told you last time about the training of pilots. I don't ask about the process, only the results. What I want to see is that by this time next year we will
Our school can provide the Air Force with at least two to three thousand qualified pilots who have undergone systematic training every year. Can you do it?"
Gao Zhihang saluted solemnly: "Sir, please rest assured, I am responsible for completing the mission."
Su Tong looked at this anti-Japanese hero who was the first of the four great kings of the Chinese Air Force who had died in another time and space. He couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart, as if history was developing in another direction under his own instigation. This kind of
The feeling of manipulating and changing history gave him a sense of satisfaction.
He looked at Gao Zhihang and asked: "Zi Heng, did the two aviation divisions of your newly formed Air Force 6 and Air Force 7 divisions achieve combat effectiveness last month?"
Gao Zhihang said: "Sir, they have initially formed combat effectiveness and can participate in some medium-intensity battles."
Su Tong nodded: "Okay, then we now have seven aviation divisions, two naval aviation divisions, and a total of more than 2,500 aircraft. We can completely suppress the Japanese."
After finishing speaking, Su Tong stood up and said: "Now I give the order."
"Wow!" Following Su Tong's words, all the generals, including Jiang Baili, stood up, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the youngest first-level general in China in front of them.
"Starting from tomorrow, the 4th Air Division, 5th Air Division, 6th Air Division, 7th Air Division, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th bombing brigades will all devote themselves to the bombing of Fengtian. Umezu Meijiro and Ishihara Kanji are not
Do you want to fight to the death with us? Let’s blow them up right now.”
"yes"
Following Su Tong's order, radio waves flew everywhere, and the fleets originally distributed in Ningxia, Suiyuan, Mongolia, and Qinghai quickly gathered in the directions of Rehe, Liaoyuan, Tongliao, etc.
In the evening, various airports reported that more than 1,300 aircraft, including bombers, were all in place. The simple road leading to Jehol and Liaoyuan was full of busy traffic. More than 6,000 trucks were rushing to various airports.
Transporting fuel, ammunition and other supplies. It is worth mentioning here that since the opening of the Chahar railway to Siberia, the traffic flow on the originally busy highway to Siberia suddenly fell silent and was held back by the logistical supplies of the 400,000-strong Siberian cluster.
The transportation capacity is released.
Therefore, the logistics department is now able to deploy a large number of vehicles to deliver so many materials to various field airports in such a short period of time.
Such a large-scale gathering of Chahar in Liaoyuan and Tongliao could not be concealed from the Japanese spies lurking everywhere. After receiving the spy report, the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters immediately sent an emergency telegram to the mainland for help overnight. After receiving the report
The Japanese base camp suddenly turned into a mess.
In the Japanese army base camp, the Japanese Chief of Staff, Prince Kanin Giyazaihito, roared loudly at Jun Tada, the deputy military affairs minister who had been in office for less than three months, "Tada-kun, can you tell me what is going on? What is going on?"
At that time, Chahar was actually able to mobilize more than a thousand aircraft to attack Manchuria at the same time. Why did our intelligence personnel in Chahar not report at all?"
Not to be outdone, Shun Tada said, "Your Excellency, I am only the deputy minister of military affairs, not the head of the intelligence section. The intelligence in China is not under my control. Could you please ask the intelligence personnel of the Mei agency or Ken Doihara about this matter?"
The second sir is better."
"But as the deputy minister of military affairs, you don't have any strategy to deal with this. Don't you feel ashamed?" Seeing Tada Shun dare to contradict him, Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito became even more angry.
Tada Shun stared at Prince Hanin Gong Zaihi and said word by word: "Your Excellency, please don't forget that it is already two o'clock in the night, Manchuria is thousands of miles away, what can I do to change overnight?"
Thousands of planes were sent out to support them."
"You, you bastard." Prince Kanin Gong Zaijin couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table and threw the water glass on the table to the ground. "Don't think that you can shirk your responsibility just by relying on the emperor's favor."
, you were originally in control of the dispatching of planes and the gathering of supplies, how could you just push it away like this?"
"Does the empire still have planes that can be dispatched? Is there any excess supplies that can be gathered?" Shun Tada said with a sarcastic look on his face, "Last time we mobilized all the planes of the Guards Flying Division to Manchuria, and now our native sky is even
The pitiful two hundred planes can't assemble, what kind of arrangements do you want me to make?"
"Hmph, aren't there still two hundred more? You need to mobilize them immediately." Prince Xianyuan Palace Zairen was speechless for a moment, then spoke again.
"No," Tada Shun said decisively: "That is the last force used to surround Tokyo. If we are all transferred, how can we protect His Majesty the Emperor?"
Seeing that Tada Shun and Emperor Hirohito had moved out, Prince Kanin Gongzaihito had no choice but to hold his nose and endure the sigh, and said unwillingly: "Then you have to think of a way."
Seeing that Prince Kanin Miyazaihito's attitude softened, Tada Shun also accepted the situation and said: "Now the only aircraft that can be mobilized locally are dozens of our newly developed Zero fighters."
"Zero Fighter"
Everyone exclaimed together. They have been famous for this warplane that the military industry boasts is the most advanced fighter in the world for a long time. They did not expect that dozens of them have been produced.
"Yes, Zero Fighter." Shun Tada sighed: "Since it is now in the trial production stage, the current output is not high, only thirty-five. I originally planned to deliver one hundred to the troops.
The people who used Tachina were caught off guard, but now it seems that they have to expose this trump card in advance."
"I can't control that much anymore" Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen gritted his teeth, "Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. The situation in Manchuria is critical now. If the Fengtian war fails again, the situation in Manchuria will be irreversible. If the empire loses Manchuria," he said
At this point, Prince Hanyuan Gong Zairen and the surrounding officers shuddered involuntarily.
As soon as there was a glimmer of light in the sky, the roar of airplanes could be heard in the sky. The ray of sunshine that just appeared in the sky was immediately covered by a thick black cloud.
Oh, it was a dark cloud composed of aircraft, and it was also the largest flight formation Chahar had ever assembled.
In the center of the flight formation, Gao Zhihang, who had not personally commanded front-line combat for a long time, was flying in a P47 fighter plane. Since today's air battle is related to the smooth implementation of Fengtian's strategy, and the stakes of this battle are of great importance, Gao Zhihang is in
After applying to Su Tong, he went into battle himself.
"Report, report that the Japanese military aircraft group has been discovered." The report of the F5 Lightning reconnaissance aircraft flying close to the clouds came from the headset: "The specific number of the enemy aircraft group is unknown. Visual inspection estimates that it is about three hundred, heading southeast, about ten
Contact my fleet in a few minutes."
"Understood, the Fifth Air Division, the Sixth Air Division, and the Seventh Air Division have separated from the formation. We must completely annihilate them." Gao Zhihang connected to the public channel and turned on the transmitter: "Pilots from Chahar, we and the Japanese Kanto
The day has come for the military to settle the general accounts. Just seven years ago, hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops were driven out of the three northeastern provinces in disgrace by the Japanese, who numbered only more than 10,000. These Northeastern troops also included me, Gao Zhihang, and our company, Fengtian
More than two hundred planes at the airport were also captured by the Japanese. This is a shame for our Northeastern Army and a shame for the Chinese nation. Today I, Gao Zhihang, am back again with a powerful air force. Today I don’t want to talk nonsense.
, I only have one request, that is to remember Commander Su’s instructions, kill the Japanese, keep killing the Japanese, Kong 5, Kong 6, Kong 7 divisions, attack.”
Following Gao Zhihang's order, more than 600 War Eagles broke away from the formation like arrows and rushed towards the Japanese aircraft group not far away. A big air battle was about to break out.
