When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless.
Zheng Shaoyu pulled Su Rui's clothes with his hand and whispered in his ear: "Military seat, is this thing reliable? No matter how I look at it, I think this thing is just an enlarged wild cat? You must be careful when switching to a new fighter jet.
ah!"
"I……"
Seeing the suspicious look in Zheng Shaoyu's eyes, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Okay, since you don't want this new fighter plane, then I will ask the logistics department to take them back, and you should continue to play with your wildcat!"
After saying that, Su Rui made a gesture to leave. Zheng Shaoyu saw that he was worried, so he quickly grabbed Su Rui and said anxiously: "Sir, don't be anxious, I'm just talking, why don't we accept it?"
"You kid, it seems like you are saying this as if I am begging you to accept it."
Suri rolled his eyes angrily and thought, if I hadn't been worried about the pilots' battle loss rate and worried that there wouldn't be so many pilots for me to worry about, I wouldn't have taken the risk to take out this fighter. You know this
The F6F fighter is known as the Zero Nemesis. In another time and space, it has several aliases. Some people call it "Shrew" and the Japanese call it "Hellcat". Its powerful firepower and extremely strong body also make it
I have the nickname of an invincible Xiaoqiang. Now that my brother has even come up with it, you are still being picky, how ridiculous is that!
Su Rui rolled his eyes and said to Zheng Shaoyu: "Shaoyu, do you want to fly a new type of airplane into the sky for a spin?"
Zheng Shaoyu was overjoyed. Most pilots would feel itchy when seeing new aircraft, and Zheng Shaoyu was no exception. However, as a division commander, he always had to be reserved in front of his subordinates. But since the military commander said so, he still
If he had anything to say, he rubbed his hands and asked, "Military seat, is it really okay?"
Suri shrugged: "Of course. You can try it and see how its performance compares with the Japanese Zero?"
Zheng Shaoyu rubbed his palms and immediately wanted to run to the plane. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Su Rui. Su Rui shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you going to go to heaven wearing these clothes?"
Zheng Shaoyu looked at the straight military uniform he was wearing and smiled sheepishly. Fortunately, the commander reminded him, otherwise it would be strange if he didn't freeze to death at high altitude if he wore this uniform.
Looking at Zheng Shaoyu running toward the pilot's locker room, Su Rui smiled happily, "With this Zero Nemesis, the pilots' battle loss rate should be reduced."
At this time, a jeep drove over from a distance. When it stopped not far in front of Suri, a staff officer hurriedly got out of the car, ran all the way to Suri, saluted with a military salute and said: "Report
Sir. Urgent call from Sir Bai."
Su Rui took a look at the telegram and saw that there was only one line on it, "The Japanese heavy artillery group has arrived and artillery positions are currently being set up."
Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Su Rui's eyes, and he murmured: "These little devils really don't care about fighting. I can destroy your fifth heavy artillery brigade. Can't I destroy this sixth?"
Heavy artillery brigade?”
After saying that, Su Rui immediately said loudly to the staff officer: "Tell Bai Jingran immediately that the armored regiment I allocated to him is not for him to see the scenery. Now is the time to use him."
"yes!"
Less than half an hour after Su Rui said this, the telegram conveying Su Rui's order had already reached the hands of Bai Jingran, who was far away in Enping.
"It seems that our commander is a little angry." Bai Jingran was silent for a moment and then handed the telegram in his hand to Chief of Staff Li Jinling.
After reading the telegram, Li Jinling also smiled bitterly and said: "We attach too much importance to the armored regiment and hide it like a treasure, but forget that whether it is an armored regiment or an infantry regiment, their mission is to fight. Otherwise there would be no
It is necessary to exist.”
Bai Jingran nodded. Ever since Su Rui assigned the armored regiment to their 400 division, Bai Jingran and Li Jinling were afraid of this armored unit being the only one in the army.
I have been reluctant to use it, and now I was finally scolded by Su Rui via telegram.
"As the old saying goes, the older you get, the less courageous you become." Bai Jingran said with a bitter smile: "I think back then, when Jun Zuo and I met in Nanjing City, we only had a few hundred soldiers, but we dared to kill tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
, But now that the official is getting bigger and bigger, the team is getting larger and larger, and he is becoming more and more forward-thinking in doing things. This person, it is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality!"
Li Jinling also laughed: "The master's seat is too full. As a general, you have nearly 20,000 troops and more than 100,000 people under your control. Naturally, you can't just fight the Japanese like before. This is not a coward."
Not a small problem.”
"You don't need to comfort me." Bai Jingran waved his hand and said, "You immediately send a telegram to Li Chenzhe's armored regiment and tell him that I will allocate the 656th regiment to him and attack tomorrow morning to break through both sides of the Japanese army.
line of defense, and then attack the Japanese heavy artillery brigade!"
A hint of joking flashed in Li Jinling's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Master, have you really decided?"
"Of course it's decided." Bai Jingran nodded without thinking, and then saw Li Jinling's expression and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Old Li, what's that look in your eyes? Why, do you think I'm joking with you? The military commander sent the armored regiment
I came here with the intention of using him as an iron fist, but because of me, they had to play the role of looking after the home and the hospital. I can't blame the military commander for scolding me."
Li Jinling thought for a while and asked with some worry: "But the army only sent the armored regiment and Liu Guodong's 657th Regiment to attack. Isn't the strength too thin? If the Japanese surround them, they will be in danger.
!”
Bai Jingran shook his head and said: "It's already a lot. Our goal is not to occupy Jiangmen, but to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. As long as we can destroy the Japanese heavy artillery regiment, we can then kill them with a sharp attack by the armored regiment."
, I don’t believe the Japanese can stop them.” At the end of the sentence, Bai Jingran’s tone was full of pride, and it was obvious that he had great confidence in the armored regiment.
Then Li Jinling said with some pity: "Sigh... It would be great if the size of the armored regiment could be expanded to a division, but the loss of fuel would be huge."
Li Jinling's sigh is not unreasonable. Now the more than 90 tanks and various trucks of Li Chenzhe's armored regiment consume a large amount of fuel every day. In addition, nearly 100 trucks used by the entire army and hundreds of aircraft of the air force are consumed.
The fuel consumed by airplanes every day adds up to a very large tree. Although hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel were seized during the last attack on Enping. This seems to be a lot of fuel, but if it is consumed freely,
It cannot last long. It is also for this reason that Suri did not expand its armored forces on a large scale. Otherwise, it would just have a large army without sufficient fuel. The seemingly powerful armored forces would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
Bai Jingran thought for a while and asked: "Old Li, when will the Japanese heavy artillery brigade positions be ready?"
Li Jinling thought for a while and said: "The reconnaissance plane reported an hour ago that the Japanese have just arrived. Even if they start to set up their positions immediately, they will not be able to set up their positions until tomorrow afternoon. After all, those heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 are not easy to serve, no matter what.
It’ll take a day.”
"Well!" Bai Jingran said: "Well, you tell Li Chenzhe that at 5:30 tomorrow morning I will ask our heavy artillery brigade to give them 30 minutes of artillery preparations, and at 6:00 they will launch an attack immediately. At 12 noon
Before I hit the mark, I want to hear the news that they completely wiped out the Japanese heavy artillery brigade!"
Li Jinling then asked: "Master, don't we ask for air support? If bombers can be dispatched to actively bomb, it will be much easier for Li Chenzhe and Liu Guodong to attack."
Bai Jingran hesitated and shook his head and said: "Let's forget it. How much blood do our brothers in the Air Force shed these days? On average, more than ten pilots are lost every day. I have heard about it. For this matter, Master Zheng
I was so angry that I cursed my mother. Our brothers in the Air Force are not as good as our Army. If the armored force selects talents from a thousand, the Air Force selects pilots from a thousand. This time we should do it ourselves!"
After hearing this, Li Jinling sighed and stopped talking. After all, he has seen the hardships of the Air Force these days. Now he is really embarrassed to trouble those Air Force brothers who have suffered heavy losses and are exhausted...
Time is like a naughty elf, it always slips away from you quietly when you don't expect it.
Night fell quietly on the land, and the Japanese troops who had been busy for a day on the position soon fell into a dream. Only a few Japanese troops on guard duty were still patrolling around.
Lieutenant General Saito Risaburo, the commander of the 18th Division, was sitting in a corner of his headquarters, looking at the map in front of him quietly without saying a word. He had not moved for several hours since the evening, but until now he
He still kept this posture motionless. None of the surrounding staff officers bothered him, because all the people in the 18th Division Headquarters knew that when their division commander maintained this posture, that was when he was thinking about things.
, whoever disturbs him at this time will surely get no good results.
The 100,000-to-1 map in front of him has marked the situation between ourselves and the enemy, and it is densely packed with Chinese and Japanese troops. Judging from the map, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength. The two divisions plus
A heavy artillery brigade, with a total of more than 40,000 people, has formed a semicircular encirclement of the Chinese 400th Division, which has only more than 18,000 people. As soon as the battle starts, his 18th Division can fight with the 3rd
Together, the 18th Division used lightning-fast momentum to overwhelm the defense lines of the 400th Division, and today they were all defeated or even annihilated.
