Yes, the two planes that flew in belonged to the flying group of the 300th Division. Although he received the news that the Japanese fleet was coming, Su Rui would not put all his intelligence and hopes on the ninth theater.
You also need to check it yourself.
Since the flying group was not equipped with a specialized two-seat reconnaissance aircraft, the "Wildcat" fighter planes originally used to compete for air supremacy naturally also assumed the function of reconnaissance aircraft.
The two Wildcat fighter jets sailed upstream along the Yangtze River and soon discovered the fleet heading down the river less than 20 kilometers away from Guangji.
"The grasshopper calls the oriole, I have discovered the Japanese fleet, discovered the Japanese fleet. The size of the Japanese fleet is consistent with the intelligence, and now they are close to Guangji."
"Original, I've seen it. What is a Japanese warship doing below? Damn it, they are ramming our fishing boat! Grasshopper, come down with me immediately to stop it!"
The leading Wildcat fighter swung its wings, and the aircraft dived rapidly. The flames on the fuselage kept flashing, and six large-caliber machine guns sprayed out fire snakes, heading towards the Isuzu cruiser that was quickly evading below.
Shot down.
Although the 12.7-caliber bullets fired on the deck and hull of the Isuzu were not even a scratch for the thick-skinned cruiser, the Japanese sailors who were running out of the warship quickly did not have that
With this skill, the bullets hit the hard armor of the warship and turned into ricocheting bullets flying around. Some sailors who were rushing to their respective posts were hit by such unpreventable ricocheting bullets and fell into a pool of blood.
On the river not far away, more than a dozen fishermen who had narrowly escaped death jumped up one by one when they saw the mess of sailors on the Japanese warship not far away. The young fisherman named Chen
He jumped up crazily, crying and shouting: "God, you finally opened your eyes, blow up these damn beasts!"
But to the disappointment of these fishermen, the plane in the sky fired a few more rounds of bullets, then turned around and quickly flicked its tail and fled away. Looking at the two Chinese fighter jets going away, the fishermen were very disappointed.
However, they immediately discovered that seven or eight more Japanese planes were flying in from behind and chased them in the direction where the Taishia plane had just disappeared.
Looking at the two Chinese fighter jets flying away, Major General Fukuji and Hi Hasegawa's expressions became very gloomy. No matter who was feeling satisfied, having a bunch of bullets fired at their head would not feel good.
"Baga, damn the Chinese!"
Hasegawa cursed with joy and fell silent. He suddenly felt that this trip to Guangji might not be as smooth as he had imagined.
Just when Major General Fukuji and Kiichi Hasegawa had an unpleasant feeling in their hearts, a staff officer's report made their mood even worse.
"Reporting to your Excellency, General, the headquarters called to inform that the flood season of the Yangtze River is now over. They estimate that the water level of the Yangtze River will fall rapidly in the near future. The waterway of the Yangtze River is no longer suitable for large warships to navigate. Therefore, the Commander ordered us to move the aircraft carrier and Isuzu
Immediately withdraw from the Yangtze River waterway."
"idiot!"
Major General Fuzhi couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and his mood became even worse. The depth of the Yangtze River waters was not suitable for the navigation of large warships. The reason why they took the risk of running aground and sailed into Guangji this time was because of the situation in Guangji.
It was too critical and had to be done. Another reason is that September is still the autumn flood season, and the water level in the Yangtze River waterway is deep enough. Otherwise, the Fengxiang would have been stranded with a draft of six meters.
Even so, they were trembling with fear when they came all the way, fearing that the tentacles would suddenly run aground, but now the headquarters suddenly sent such a telegram, saying that now that the autumn flood season of the Yangtze River has passed, the precipitation in the upper reaches has dropped significantly, which makes them
Return quickly, how can this not make them angry?
"how so?"
Hasegawa Kiya cursed bitterly and looked at Major General Fukuji.
Major General Fukuji thought for a while with a sullen face before saying: "Since the headquarters has issued an order, we should carry it out. Otherwise, once the water level of the Yangtze River drops and the Hosho and Kuma run aground, we will be the sinners of the empire."
"That's all!"
Hasegawa nodded helplessly. For large warships with deep drafts, it was very dangerous to sail on inland waterways like the Yangtze River. He did not dare to show off. After discussing with Major General Fukuji, the two decided
It was decided to keep two light cruisers and five frigates, and all other warships above 3,000 tons turned around and sailed towards the seaport...
"What? The Fengxiang aircraft carrier and several other large warships all turned around and left?"
Suri, who had just returned to Matsuyama Pass, received the news four hours later. This also made Suri, who had originally planned to concentrate his efforts on fighting the Japanese fleet from afar, breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Su Rui breathe a sigh of relief, Liang Zhi asked: "Since the Japanese heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers have left, can we satisfy Chief Chen's request to lend us a squadron?"
"this……"
Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He knew that the fighting at Wanjialing was lively. Historically, the victory at Wanjialing was one of the few great victories in the history of the national army. If not for the fact that more than a thousand people escaped in the end,
, this time was a great victory in annihilating a division, and Su Rui should not refuse Vice Minister Chen's request regardless of circumstances.
But he also knew how fierce the fighting was at Wanjialing. Okamura Neiji would definitely not just watch the 106th Division being wiped out. He would definitely use all his strength to rush to Wanjialing's aid.
Yes, if I rashly join in, I can't say how many fighters from a squadron of my own will come back.
Seeing Su Rui frowning, Liang Zhi also knew the reason for his embarrassment. He did not try to persuade him, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for Su Rui's decision.
After a long time, Su Rui sighed: "That's all, they are all fighting the Japanese anyway, so why should I feel bad about those planes? Since Minister Chen wants to be seconded, let's go there. I just want to tell him that after the attack on Wanjialing,
After the battle, this squadron must be returned, and I didn’t borrow it for free, there must be conditions.”
"Oh, are there any conditions for the master seat?" Liang Zhi looked at Su Rui in surprise.
"Yes." Su Rui nodded, "Ziran, although our Three Hundred Division has developed well this year and seems to be getting more and more prosperous, it has a fatal flaw. Do you know what it is?"
Seeing Su Rui speaking so seriously, Liang Zhi also suppressed a smile and asked without answering: "Master, have you really thought about it?"
"Think about it!"
Su Rui smiled bitterly and said: "I have thought about it for a long time these days and found that the biggest problem of our 300 Division is that we do not have our own territory. I originally asked Chief Li for the Suizhou area a few days ago, but later I found that Suizhou is too dangerous.
, it will be surrounded by the Japanese at any time, and the strength of the Central Army there is deeply entrenched, so it is really not a suitable place for development."
"Well!" Liang Zhi asked, "Then where do you plan to go?"
"Well..." Su Rui thought for a while, then looked at Liang Zhi, and suddenly smiled slyly: "Ziran, you are my senior adviser, don't you have any ideas?"
Liang Zhi also narrowed his eyes: "Master, to be honest, I really have some ideas these days. Although the Three Hundred Division has developed very quickly, it is like a piece of duckweed without roots. It seems powerful, but if it is a
If there is any disturbance or a heavy blow, the seemingly powerful 300 Division will instantly collapse like a fortress on the beach."
"You're right." Su Rui nodded in agreement. Now the development of the 300 Division is all based on his mutant laptop. If something goes wrong with this notebook, the 300 Division will instantly
Returning to the prototype is definitely not what Suri wants to see.
Seeing Su Rui nodding, Liang Zhi continued: "But looking across the country, there are very few places suitable for our development. I think there is only one place."
Su Rui said with a half-smile: "Oh, tell me!"
As if he didn't see the encouraging look on Su Rui's face, Liang Zhi continued talking on his own, "Except Guangdong and Guangxi, I really can't think of any place that is suitable for our development."
"Okay!" Su Rui laughed loudly: "He is indeed our Liang Gaosen. He really has the same vision as a hero, and we all think about it together."
Liang Zhi asked again: "Do you want to settle in Guangxi or Guangdong? Guangdong and Guangxi are the territory of De Gong. If you want to develop there, I'm afraid De Gong will be unhappy."
Su Rui smiled: "I know this. Although both Guangdong and Guangxi are nominally run by Degong, in fact only Guangxi is the most important lifeblood of Degong. As long as we don't go there, I guess Degong will not
I'll mind, and we don't want to occupy the whole of Guangdong, we just need a foothold."
After saying this, Suri looked a little lonely. His family knew about his family affairs, and he was seeking a foothold just to protect himself.
As the reputation of the 300 Division increased, he found that his situation became more and more worrying. The Central Army did not want to see him. Although Chief Li treated him well, he was not willing to be completely dependent on others, and
The most important thing is that the secrets on him must never be discovered, so for the current plan, we have to find a piece of land as a foothold.
"Well, that's okay!" Liang Zhi nodded and said, "Then where do you want to go?"
Su Rui smiled faintly and pointed to a place on the map, "That's it!"
Liang Zhi looked at it and shouted in surprise: "Maoming?"
PS: Yesterday, in Chapter 198, there was a common-sense mistake about the appearance of aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers in the Yangtze River waterway, which made many readers feel indignant. That was A Ding’s fault, but since it has been written, it doesn’t matter.
So easy to change, A Ding had no choice but to downplay him as much as possible in this chapter. Thank you for the reminder!
In addition: Ading would like to thank Iron Blood Qiang Qin, abccd5432, Cold Night Wind and Rain, Nebula Star, cjj71, Charming Yao'er, Late Star, Pastor Huanhuan and other tubes for their rewards. Thank you all! (To be continued. Please
