Chapter 1049: Give warmth to the Japanese!

Japanese country.

Tokyo.

Prime Minister's Office.

Tojo Hideji summoned a group of old Japanese officers such as the Minister of War, the Minister of the Navy and his staff for a meeting.

General Sugi Mimoto, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, reported to Hideji Tojo:

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Chinese government forces agreed to send troops together with the Locust Army to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China, but they still refuse to sign the declaration of "Joint Operations between the Locust Army and the Chinese Government Army" and ask the Locust Army to return some territory. I doubt that China Government troops are entertaining the locust army."

Tojo Hideji narrowed his eyes slightly, is the Chinese government army marching to the market?

How dare you entertain the locust army?

That is to say, the Eighth Route Army in North China became more powerful, so the Chinese government forces dared to bargain with the Locust Army. Otherwise, the Locust Army would have already planned to attack Changsha and mountain cities.

"In this case, order the dispatched army and the main force of the 11th Army to attack the Chinese government forces and capture Changsha in the spring."

Tojo Hideji gave the order with a cold tone and expression.

Since your Chinese government forces don’t cooperate with the locust army, don’t blame the locust army for being ruthless.

Navy Minister Shitaro Shimada immediately flattered him and continued:

The Deputy Chief of the Army General Staff also said: "In the Xuzhou area, there is the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. If the Locust Army attacks Changsha and the Eighth Route Army attacks from north to south, the Locust Army will be very passive!"

"You don't know the heart of a good person." Shitaro Shimada snorted coldly. There was no way to refute this. The navy suffered heavy losses on Guadalcanal. The battle loss ratio between the navy and the American army was 10 to 1, which was a disastrous defeat.

Tojo Hideji asked in a deep voice: "How much is a large amount?"

Tojo Hideji waved his hand and said:

"Both the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese government forces felt that the Locust Army would not attack Changsha, so the Locust Army would attack Changsha with a blitzkrieg."

Hideji Tojo said in a deep voice: "The Army continues to struggle with the China government forces, quietly preparing combat supplies and mobilizing troops to attack Changsha, but it must stop when it is ready. The enemy of the Locust Army is mainly the Eighth Route Army in North China."

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's channel for obtaining assistance was almost entirely through air transport.

However, the Japanese intelligence officers still risked their lives to send some intelligence information about the Eighth Route Army's receipt of goods.

"At Beiping Airport alone, no less than 200 transport planes land every day."

Shan Sanyuan worriedly said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the 11th Army had a battle with the Eighth Route Army in Xuzhou. It suffered heavy losses and low morale. I'm afraid it's not the right time to attack the Chinese government forces at this time, right?"

According to this aid rate, the Eighth Route Army can obtain more than 70 tons of combat materials a year.

The Japanese intelligence officers were lucky enough to escape, but unlucky enough to be killed or captured alive by the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi."

"Then it's settled."

Shan Sanyuan lowered his head and continued reporting:

"According to intelligence, a large amount of supplies enter North China from the air every day."

"Although the 11th Army lost some troops, the artillery unit lost less and its combat effectiveness is still there. The 11th Army will be supplemented with 10 high-quality troops from the mainland to attack Changsha."

If the Locust Army can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, can it still be unable to defeat your government army?

From Tojo Hideji's point of view, since you are often bald and refuse to cooperate with the locust army, I will cripple you first.

At present, the Eighth Route Army's counterintelligence methods are very mature.

Shan Sanyuan spoke solemnly:

"The transport aircraft landing at Beiping Airport are strategic transport aircraft, and each transport aircraft carries at least 10 tons of cargo."

Therefore, Yamamoto Kazuki, who was in charge of the intelligence department of the North China Front, placed a large number of spies and agents inside and outside Peiping when he escaped from Peiping.

In addition, it is equipped with advanced telecommunications detection radio stations.

Tojo Hideki's face suddenly darkened: "Does this mean that the Eighth Route Army receives 2000 tons of combat material assistance every day?"

Although the Chinese government verbally agreed, Tojo Hideji didn't believe it at all. Not to mention the verbal agreement, even the agreement was unreliable.

"I have heard that the Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Guadalcanal. It lost nearly a thousand aircraft and nearly 2000 pilots. You should worry more about the Navy's war. We don't need Mr. Shimada to worry about our Army's affairs. ”

"I suggest that the Army continue to play tricks with the Chinese government forces and dispatch the army to quietly mobilize soldiers and combat materials. Then they can attack without the Chinese government forces being prepared, and we will definitely achieve good results."

Tojo Hideji knew very well that Principal Chang had American support behind him and would never sign the agreement on joint operations.

Don't let your bald head jump out from behind to cause trouble when the Locust Army and the Eighth Route Army are fighting in North China.

For example, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, but the German army still attacked the Soviet army without respecting martial ethics.

The Eighth Route Army Airport was very tightly guarded, so it was naturally extremely difficult for Japanese spies and agents to find out what was going on inside the airport.

but.

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister is so wise, I admire you so much!"

The main tasks of these spies and agents are to collect intelligence materials, assassinate Eighth Route Army officers, and disrupt traffic.

It was no secret that the Eighth Route Army received aid.

Sugi Sanyuan glanced at Shimada Shitaro coldly and said in a bad tone:

Once Principal Chang signs the agreement on joint operations, it will be a backstab against the United States.

A large number of strategic transport aircraft fly to and from the airport every day. The Japanese spies and agents lurking near the airport are not blind, so they can naturally see the large number of transport aircraft every day.

"Soldiers who, deception also."

The Eighth Route Army's aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery were all obtained through aid channels.

Almost every time a telegram is sent, the intelligence station is exposed.

The airport is a key surveillance area for Japanese spies and agents.

Shan Sanyuan's tone became more solemn and he said: "This is just the combat materials obtained by Beiping Airport. According to reports from intelligence personnel, major airports in North China such as Tianjin Airport, Taiyuan Airport, and Baoding Airport are also receiving various combat materials every day. Staff The headquarters estimates that the Eighth Route Army obtains about 1 tons of combat supplies every day. In addition to combat supplies, the Eighth Route Army is also acquiring more heavy artillery, tanks and fighter aircraft."

Hearing this, Hideji Tojo felt both uncomfortable and envious.

1 tons of combat supplies a day, and the Eighth Route Army obtains about 3 tons of combat supplies in a month.

That's about 500 million tons of combat materials a year.

If the Locust Army had 500 million tons of combat supplies, coupled with the heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft of the Eighth Route Army, it would be easy to take over the entire China, and they might even have a chance to attack the United States itself.

Tojo Hideji's face became more and more gloomy: "Where did the Eighth Route Army's aid plane fly to North China from?"

"It's not clear yet," Shan Sanyuan replied, "I only know that it flew from the East to North China."

"East?"

Hideji Tojo looked at the huge map on the wall: "The Eighth Route Army's assistance must come from an island in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea. Order the fleet to increase the search range and find out the source!"

As long as they can find the source and send a navy to attack it, the Locust Army can gain unimaginable wealth.

"Hi."

Shan Sanyuan lowered his head suddenly.

……

Beiping.

New regiment, regiment headquarters.

With the information provided by Boss Chen. The new regiment's staff quickly formulated an air attack plan.

In the first stage, the Eighth Route Army dispatched strategic bombers to conduct air strikes on Japanese airfields in Manchuria.

In the second stage, air raids were carried out on Japanese military facilities and arsenals in Manchuria.

In the third phase, air strikes were carried out on Japanese airfields, military facilities and arsenals in central and southern China.

Time quickly came to a week later.

100 strategic bombers of the Eighth Route Army deployed at Tianjin Airport, Peking Airport and Zhangjiakou Airport. At this time, the warehouses at these three airports were filled with various combat materials.

Although materials unloaded at these airports can be trucked to warehouses elsewhere.

However, due to the Air Force's air raid missions, these three airports have suspended receipts.

early morning.

At Peking Xijiao Airport.

On the secondary runway, the Eighth Route Army mechanics at the airport were inspecting the Flying Fortress strategic bomber for the last time.

The ground crews were using trailers to pull aerial bombs and napalm bombs out of the ammunition warehouse and carefully load them into the magazine.

On the airport runway below the tower.

Wang Hexin, captain of the 1st Flight Group of the New Regiment, held a loudspeaker and mobilized the pilots and crew members before the war.

"Today is a rare good day, it's clear and sunny."

"How can we waste such good weather?"

"So today, we want to send warmth to the devils."

"Today our mission goal is to destroy the Japanese aircraft, pilots and the airport in the Northeast. Do you have the confidence to complete the mission assigned by your superiors?"

In front of Wang Hexin stood 70 pilots and more than 300 crew members.

Each Flying Fortress strategic bomber is equipped with 12 crew members and 2 pilots.

Most of these crew members are flight students from the Eighth Route Army Aviation School, and they were arranged to participate in air raid missions this time.

"Have!"

As expected, as soon as Wang Hexin finished speaking, the pilots and crew members responded in unison.

"Didn't you eat?" Wang Hexin said loudly, "Louder!"

"Yes, yes, yes--"

The roars of the soldiers were like waves crashing on the shore, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.

"very good!"

Wang Hexin nodded with satisfaction:

"This air strike, like the air strike on the Japanese homeland, is not escorted by fighter jets, but our strategic bombers are equipped with more advanced bombsights!"

"We can drop aerial bombs into a 8-meter circle at an altitude of 1 to 30 meters!"

After killing the North China Front last time, the strategic bomber's bombsight has also been updated.

All strategic bombers are equipped with more advanced bombsights. Flying Fortress bombers do not need to descend to an altitude of six to seven kilometers to drop bombs as before, and their safety is greatly increased.

Since some of the targets of the air strike have a combat radius of more than 1000 kilometers, there is no fighter escort.

But fortunately, equipped with more advanced bombsights, the safety factor of strategic bombers has been greatly increased.

Subsequently, Wang Hexin issued preparation orders.

After about half an hour, it was almost time to set off. The ground crew captain came over in a car and said to Wang Hexin:

"Captain Wang, all the bombers have been overhauled, the bombs have been loaded, and the fuel has been filled."

"Okay!" Wang Hexin immediately gave the order, "Get on the plane!"

As Wang Hexin's order was issued, 35 strategic bomber pilots and crew members rushed towards the bombers.

Wang Hexin also boarded the strategic bomber numbered 001 and served as captain, taking the lead in taking off.

With a huge roar, huge bombers took off into the sky. The ones that took off first hovered in the sky and waited. After all the bombers took off, 35 bombers flew in formation towards the northeast.

At this time, the sky was inky black and pitch black.

Soon, the bomber disappeared into the night sky, and the roar of the plane's engine became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.

……

About two hours later.

It was getting light.

"Navigator, report position!"

On the Eighth Route Army's radio channel, Wang Hexin called to the navigator in a solemn tone.

"01, 01, still about 100 kilometers away from the target airspace."

The navigator quickly reported the current position to Wang Hexin.

"According to the predetermined plan, act separately and pay attention to safety!"

Wang Hexin issued the order decisively.

At Zhangjiakou Airport and Tianjin Airport, there were two other bomber flight formations of the Eighth Route Army, which set off almost at the same time.

The target of one flight formation is the Japanese Airport near Changchun, and the target of the other flight formation is the Japanese Airport near Harbin.

This time, the target of Wang Hexin's 1st Flying Formation was the airport near Shenyang of the 6th Japanese Flying Division and the 2nd Flying Division.

Boss Chen has provided intelligence information on the location of each Japanese airport, the number of aircraft and pilots, and the numbers of the Japanese aviation units.

As Wang Hexin's order was issued, 35 strategic bombers were divided into three formations and flew towards the Japanese airport.

The Japanese airports are not together, but divided into 5 airports and some flight training grounds.

According to the weather forecast provided by Boss Chen, the weather in Shenyang will be sunny and windless today.

In order to ensure the safety of bombers, all bombers need to drop bombs at an altitude of 8000 meters and carry out indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese airports.

Along the way, the bomber formation did not encounter any Japanese aircraft, which meant that the bomber formation had not yet been exposed and the Japanese did not know that they would be attacked by air today.

About 10 minutes later, the bomber was about to reach the target area.

"Lower height!"

In the field of vision of the telescope, Wang Hexin could vaguely see the Japanese airport.

The 12 bombers spread out slightly and roared down to altitude.

After the plane flew to an altitude of 8 kilometers, the Japanese at the ground airport finally realized something was wrong and immediately sounded the air defense siren. The low and sharp air defense siren suddenly sounded.

"Boom boom…"

The Japanese anti-aircraft guns opened fire.

But it is a pity that the performance of the Little Devil's anti-aircraft gun is relatively low and the caliber is relatively small. It is difficult to implement effective air defense against the thick-skinned Flying Fortress at an altitude of 8 kilometers.

"Free to drop the bomb!"

On the radio channel, Wang Hexin gave orders in a cold tone.

As his order was issued, the bomb bays under the bellies of each strategic bomber slowly opened, and the huge aerial bombs and napalm bombs inside were immediately exposed!

Soon, each bomber entered the bombing position.

"Sending warmth to the little devil!"

As the bombardiers on each bomber press the bomb release button.

Aviation and napalm bombs left the magazine one after another, and fell hard like dumplings!
