When the Japanese Lieutenant General saw a Hellcat fighter plane approaching, he panicked a little and began to hide under a nearby tree. At this time, he suddenly missed the time when their Imperial Japanese Air Force completely dominated the sky over China.
, at that time, there was no need for them to fight so pitifully.
An independent air force division could defeat them without any chance of fighting back. It was originally thought that as long as they attacked quickly enough, they could avoid air force support. For them, the only option was hand-to-hand combat. After more than 20 minutes of shelling
Finally, they began to charge, but they did not expect that the New Fourth Army could organize resistance so quickly, and the firepower was so sufficient, which directly slowed down the speed of their attack. After all, they could not just rush over without caring about anything, that would be true
to die.
"Could it be that the Japanese Empire is really going to decline?" the Japanese Lieutenant General thought, and then looked at the planes in the sky, "When you go back, you must apply to speed up the development of new fighters. Otherwise, if you cannot gain air supremacy, there will be no land warfare.
The advantages!"
…
When the attack receded, a middle-aged man with eyes angrily walked up to Li Chang and put his hands on his hips, "You idiot Li, how dare you just let someone hold me up? Are you the commander of the column or me?"
Is it the commander? Huh?"
"Report to the leader, I was wrong!" Li Chang bowed to the middle-aged man, his face serious, but his expression was not very relaxed, because they had many more wounded and sacrificed soldiers in the battle just now.
After Li Chang said this, the commander couldn't blame him anymore. He looked around and saw wounded soldiers everywhere and wailing in his ears. He was also very angry inside. What they did when they left Wuhan was relatively confidential. Of course,
All the friendly forces in Wuhan City knew this. It was obvious that the Japanese had been lying in wait here for at least one night before they could organize an attack so quickly. Thinking of this, there was a cold light in his eyes, but then he waved his hand, "Forget it this time.
Next time, you, the leader, will stop doing this!"
"Yes!" Li Changsong said. Although the New Fourth Army has become slightly richer in recent days, there is still no way to completely open up the supply of some medicines. Fortunately, it is November and the weather is not hot. Otherwise, I don't know how many medicines there are.
The soldier will not survive. But even so, the anti-inflammatory drugs should still be used.
"Eh." Kong Jie sighed and looked at the soldier helplessly, feeling aggrieved.
"You shouldn't be able to leave today. Let the soldiers have a good rest."
"Um."

laiyang
Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. However, such an incident cannot happen again.
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his brows and thought about countermeasures, but these were actually beyond his capabilities.
Liu Yuan was very angry, "There must be a traitor who sold the news! But it's not someone from the bottom who knows this news!"
"Maybe the Japanese have lurking chess pieces?" Zhou Weiguo frowned and thought of another possibility. Now he is a little too sensitive and always thinks about things in a bad direction, "And I believe that it will definitely be the same this time.
The Japs’ traitor did it.”
"Why do you believe it?" Liu Yuan frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "Brother, don't be angry first. Let me analyze it for you." Zhou Weiguo knew that Liu Yuan was angry at this time, and when people are angry, they often don't think of other reasons.
"First, there are countless spies planted by the Japanese in China."
Zhou Weiguo's first reason is very convincing. After all, this is a real thing.
"Second, the situation is very good now, and the Chairman will not be so impulsive."
"Third, it is nothing new for some people to betray the country for their own interests. But these people definitely do not include the Chairman."
After hearing these reasons, Liu Yuan calmed down and said, "Then what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"I don't know, and I'm not a party involved." Zhou Weiguo said calmly, "But this incident is likely to cause a rift between the two parties."
Liu Yuan sighed, "Why is it so difficult?"
Zhou Weiguo remained silent. Even in later generations, he would not understand this matter.
Suddenly, Li Weimin walked in with joy on his face and said, "Master, Brother Liu Yuan, the textile factory project was successful!"
"What?" Zhou Weiguo seemed not to hear clearly and asked again.
"The textile factory's project, the bulletproof vest, has been successfully developed! The effect is already the same as the bulletproof vest you gave me!" Li Weimin said excitedly.
"Great!" Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He had been studying the bulletproof vest project and finally had news. He could rest assured. In this way, the battle losses might be reduced a lot.
"It's just that the process is a little complicated." Li Weimin added, "In terms of output, it may be slower."
"It's okay. Just increase efforts in production. You can't eat it until you become a big fat man!" Zhou Weiguo comforted, "When the time comes, I will distribute it to the soldiers. However, the soldiers must keep this matter secret."
"Um."

Tianjin
Tada Shun received a telegram with a gloomy face. He thought he could wipe out the New Fourth Army before, but now, not only has it not been wiped out, but the division that set up the ambush has suffered nearly half casualties.
"Fighter planes!" Shun Tada said in a low voice. The role of fighter planes was mentioned more than once in the telegram. At this time, many senior officials of the Japanese army also advocated aviation theory even more because of the issue of air supremacy on the Chinese battlefield. But, in fact, this is indeed the case.
, without air supremacy, it will be difficult for this war to continue.
The raids in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region were relatively smooth and there were no big problems. However, once it came to central China, it was like a curse. There was always a hurdle that could not be bypassed. He knew that the source of this hurdle was in Laiyang, so
He has always advocated pacifying Laiyang first, but now Laiyang's strength has greatly increased, and it is even possible to fight with the entire North China Japanese army. This makes Tada Shun very discouraged, because he cannot bring all the troops in North China.
Moved over to attack Laiyang.
"I heard that domestic fighter development has been accelerated. There are no new fighters, and the old fighters are not as good as the Independent Division Air Force in terms of performance. Flying into the sky is simply to die." A major general stood up and said to Tada Shun, "
Your Excellency, Commander, I think this matter should be reported to the base camp."
"I second the motion."
"Seconded."
"Only by developing new fighter planes to fully suppress the independent division, it may be possible to achieve a turnaround on the China battlefield." Nobu Yoshikawa stood up and said to Tajia, "For a long time, the empire has suffered enough from the independent division air force.
Once the advantage of the independent division air force no longer exists, the empire's advantage will become even more obvious."
"Yoshi. I understand." Shun Tada exhaled and transferred the telegram back to China. At the same time, he urged the progress of fighter aircraft research at the end of the telegram.
