Chapter five hundred and fourteenth enemy traces appear
In order to find the 2nd and 3rd Division, Feng Xiaoming's squadron has to set off before dawn every day these days. After flying for a long time, he comes back to refuel, has a quick lunch, and sets off again until the sun sets.
We didn't return to the airport until sunset.
Within three days of this kind of life, the entire squadron had lost a lot of weight. They flew more carefully to search for the Japanese troops. The pilots lowered the flying altitude from 800 meters to 500 meters, or even 300 meters.
, many pilots lamented that once the Japanese troops were found, they could switch to flying reconnaissance aircraft.
After searching for a while, Luo Gan started to chatter again: "Boss, in my opinion, this little Japan is not here at all. Unless they can become ants on the ground, even if they can grow wings in these days, we will
We have found them a long time ago! Could it be that they can still swim over!"
"Um!"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. As soon as Luo Gan finished speaking, Feng Xiaoming's body shook violently, his face quickly changed color, and he lost his voice: "Luo Gan, what did you say? Say it again!"
"What's wrong?" Luo Gan's strange voice came from the headset, "Sir, I mean I can't find the little devil. He couldn't have come by swimming."
"The enemy is swimming!" Feng Xiaoming shouted loudly, with excitement in his voice, "Luo Gan, change the course immediately and follow me." After saying that, he moved the control stick, and the entire Mustang fighter jet violently
Shocked, the nose of the plane also turned, and then suddenly shot upwards towards the sky like an arrow from a string.
Dozens of seconds later, Luo Gan's voice came from Feng Xiaoming's headset, "Sir, where are we going?"
"The seaside!" Luo Gan only replied simply.
Just when Feng Xiaoming turned around and flew eastward, in a small village more than two hundred miles away from Nanping, Bai Chongxi was also taking a walk on a field path, but it was different from the leisurely way ordinary people walked.
But from time to time he showed a hint of worry.
As a veteran who has been in the military for decades, Bai Chongxi has the experience to match. Although he has never commanded such a powerful army, it does not mean that he will not use him.
Since the Seventh Army had all its troops and supplies in Fujian, the more Bai Chongxi learned about the details of this army, the more surprised he became.
He found that although he had fully improved the strength of this unit before coming, he discovered that he had underestimated the strength of this unit when he got to know it personally. In addition to more than 200 aircraft, Bai Jingran's 400 troops
There is also a heavy artillery brigade containing more than 200 heavy artillery pieces, and a mysterious chemical defense battalion. The poison gas bombs equipped by this chemical defense battalion are enough to exterminate all humans and animals in Nanping City within half an hour.
Some people may say that it is a good thing that the Four Hundred Army has become stronger. Why is Bai Chongxi still looking sad? In fact, Bai Chongxi is worried for a reason. He knows very well that although he now holds the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops on the Fujian battlefield
.But behind him there are countless pairs of eyes looking at him. Li Zongren from the Fifth War Zone and Su Rui from Guangdong all have their eyes fixed on him, because this war is their first war since they cooperated. At the same time, it is also
Su Rui's test for himself. If he cannot give a satisfactory answer in this test, although it cannot be said that he will not have the opportunity to lead troops in the future, his image in Su Rui's heart will inevitably be greatly reduced.
It will affect his status in this group in the future. So not only must he win this battle, but he must also win it beautifully.
But the problem now is that the two divisions of the Japanese that are moving south are still missing. The enemy's situation is unknown. This situation is a taboo for military strategists both at home and abroad, both ancient and modern. The enemy's situation is unknown, which means that Bai Chongxi has no way.
Deploying and adjusting the battlefield situation also means that he can only passively and tiredly deal with the next Japanese offensive. This situation is not allowed for any qualified commander. For this matter
,Bai Chongxi hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind me, and Bai Jingran's voice sounded from behind: "Sir Bai, why are you here? You can't find me easily."
Bai Chongxi stopped and turned around with a smile: "What? What do you want from me, an old man? Is there any news coming from the front?"
Bai Jingran sighed softly and said: "Sir Bai, just now, news came from our intelligence stations in Zhejiang and other places. There have been no large-scale Japanese troops passing by these days. Both roads and railways are exactly the same as usual.
Nothing unusual."
"Well!" A trace of worry flashed across Bai Chongxi's face. But it did not hide it from Bai Jingran's eyes. He couldn't help but said: "Sir Bai, now we can be sure that the two divisions of the Japanese army must be hiding in
Some secret corner. They are waiting for us to make a mistake and then bite us hard."
Bai Chongxi interrupted Bai Jingran: "Then what do you think we should do now? Continue searching and waiting?"
Bai Jingran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is also what puzzles the staff. In the past few days, the Air Force has investigated all the places in Fujian, and even went deep into Zhejiang for investigation, but the result is still no trace.
Combined with the news from the Military Intelligence Bureau, we have been able to confirm that the Japanese 2nd and 3rd Divisions are indeed not in Zhejiang. But what I still can't figure out is that the two divisions have nearly 60,000 troops.
, these are not 60,000 ants, how could they disappear completely?" Bai Jingran's voice was full of confusion and confusion.
Bai Chongxi was silent for a long time and then slowly said: "Commander Bai, I have been thinking just now, the reason why we cannot find these two divisions is that we have chosen the wrong direction of investigation all this time?"
"Sir, you mean..."
Bai Chongxi said solemnly: "Ever since we got the information that the Japanese 2nd and 3rd divisions got on the train in Fengtian, we have always subconsciously thought that the Japanese must have entered the customs by land, and North China entered Central China.
Then they entered Fujian. But all of us forgot one thing...The Japanese still have a powerful force..."
At this point, Bai Jingran's expression suddenly changed. He and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and they both said word by word at the same time: "Navy!"
Bai Chongxi sighed: "Yes, all of us have forgotten that in addition to the army, the Japanese also have a powerful navy!"
Bai Jingran's originally dark complexion turned purple at this moment. He patted his head in annoyance and immediately shouted: "Sir, we will send a plane to search immediately! We must find them!"
"It's too late!" Bai Chongxi's face was full of annoyance, and he smiled bitterly: "The sea is not as good as the land. Although I am not proficient in naval warfare, I also know that the sea is vast and it is not easy to find a fleet. Besides, our Fujian Province is close to the sea.
Whether it is Quanzhou, Futian or Xiamen, there are enough places for the Japanese to log in. The Japanese have the maritime advantage. They can log in whenever and wherever they want. The initiative is in their hands, and we can only wait until they
We could only deal with it passively after launching an attack, so we would really suffer a huge disadvantage. And if my estimate is correct, the Japanese fleet carrying two divisions should be ready to log in at a certain port at any time.
"
"Asshole!" Bai Jingran's hands had swollen veins due to too much force, and his face showed an annoyed look. Not having a strong navy has always been the shortcoming of the Chinese army. Although China has a long coastline, but his own family
But there is no matching powerful navy. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, China has no fleet that can protect the security of its territorial waters. The saying "there is no defense against the sea" has been with China for half a century.
, knowing that it still hasn’t changed.
"By the way." At this time, Bai Chongxi suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Jingran: "Commander Bai, I heard that Zhongxin established a fleet in Guangzhou last year. There are several destroyers in this fleet. This is how it is.
?"
Bai Jingran smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's true, but if Commander Bai wants this fleet to come to help, I'm afraid it won't work. Commander Su regards this fleet as his darling. He has long said that this fleet is
Our seeds, he will rely on this fleet to expand our own navy. Besides, if the Japanese really send troop transports to carry two divisions, their escort force must be terrifyingly strong. If they want to rely on just a few
A destroyer to stop them is nothing more than a pipe dream."
"well……"
Bai Chongxi also sighed and stopped talking. At this time, he was full of strategies, but when the enemy pressed forward with absolute strength, he still felt that he had little power to fight back. However, Bai Chongxi was no better than ordinary people after all, and he did not sit back and wait for death.
After thinking about his style, he resolutely said: "Commander Bai, you immediately send me an order, and the Air Force 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Air Division immediately dispatches no less than two squadrons of troops to attack the coastal areas from Fuqing to Xiamen.
Conduct non-stop patrols in the area and report immediately if any Japanese fleet is discovered!"
"yes!"
Bai Jingran agreed, but felt sad in his heart. In his opinion, although such a search was not very useful, it was still better than nothing.
Just as Bai Jingran was about to leave, an officer hurried over not far away. Bai Chongxi took a closer look and recognized him as a staff officer from the headquarters. He saw his messy steps and nervous look.
, my heart suddenly tightened, could something serious happen?
Sure enough, after running a few more steps, the staff officer shouted breathlessly: "Sir Bai, the air reconnaissance from the front has reported that they discovered the Japanese fleet near Mazu Island!"
