Chapter 328 Fire falls from the sky

On February 14, 1938, this is a typical Western festival. In this era, few Chinese people know what kind of special saying this is. Valentine's Day is really a luxury for people who are in the midst of war and half of the country has been lost. Naturally, Zhang Xuewu will not celebrate Valentine's Day, but there are many foreign engineers and technicians in its Baotou industrial base, as well as a large number of Jewish technicians. Chinese people are not ghosts' Day. This is Rehe. People often say that because there are no flowers in this season, roses carved with radishes have become popular for a while.

The air force in the 10th war zone has made several large-scale fierce attacks on the Japanese Kwantung Army Flight Division. From the perspective of the comprehensive quality and air combat experience of the pilots on both sides, as well as the surname of the fighters, none of the pilots of the Japanese Army Air Force can be stronger than the air force of the 10th Theater Command, so Kanto The military flight team was unlucky.

At Chengde Field Airport, Zhang Xuewu deliberately practiced for the air force warriors who attacked today. Zhang Guangyu's strategic bomber formation all attacked this time, and even the escorted BF-109K multi-purpose fighters were hung with two 200-pound aircraft bombs for emergency. The destroyer is also a fighter. Being a bomber is undoubtedly a resource intention, or an extreme irresponsibility.

However, Zhang Xuewu must carry out the most comprehensive and comprehensive attack on Unit 569 and Unit 731, which intend to use virus weapons, as soon as possible.

As the air force director of the tenth theater, Gao Zhihang did not fight, but for this important operation, he also flew a falcon fighter to take off and commanded the whole operation in the air. Ten hours ago, more than 30 Juncker transport planes had dropped the Falcon Special Forces in the isolation zone near Harbin. In the first team, not only 20 commandos landed safely, but also the "Foxhound" ultra-light armored assault vehicle just produced by the Armored Vehicle Research Institute of Baotou Industrial Zone also conducted airdrop tests.

The Juncker rear cabin transport aircraft was originally modified for the convenience of airdrop materials and light artillery of special forces and mountain forces being formed. After the modification, Zhang Xuewu inspected and proposed whether it was possible to get a small armored vehicle? Two to three people, the total weight of the battle is less than 1.8 tons, and the 100-meter distance can defend against the Japanese Army's Type 92 heavy machine gun shooting, equipped with 20mm anti-tank rifles and two MG34 general-purpose machine gun fire turrets, 37mm anti-tank turrets, 120mm heavy mortar firing towers, and can be equipped with external armor plates.

"Foxhound" ultra-light armored assault vehicle is a tracked steel armored welded structure body. Without external armor, the body armor is weak and can only be anti-rifle bullets. The driver is located in the right front of the car, and the power device is in the front of the car body. Because it is equipped with the latest planetary diesel engine, the car has a good With a good land mobility, the maximum road speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour and a maximum travel distance of 300 kilometers, which can be unimpeded on the soft ground, and the obstacles can be overcome with the help of floating equipment.

It can be said that the advent of such a small thing is really beyond Zhang Xuewu's expectations. This thing was originally designed for special forces to carry out airborne operations. A modified Juncker transport plane can carry two "Foxhound" ultra-light armored assault vehicles. The successful airdrop is mainly to thank me, because In order to keep Unit 731 confidential, people designated the nearby 50 kilometers into a military restricted area, and directly shot and killed the Chinese who entered by mistake, or were used as a material for the road to do experiments for Unit 731.

And recently, the Chinese Air Force has continuously attacked the military facilities near Harbin. In order to avoid the bombing of the very obvious base camp of Unit 731, Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, ordered Shiro Ishii to lower the national flag and remove the barbed wire and The guard sentry and transported more than 100 cattle and thousands of sheep, disguised the station of Unit 731 as a farm. The nearby garrison withdrew except for the necessary secret guard troops, so as not to affect the pond fish when the troops were attacked by air.

Because the 569 troops in Qiqihar were wildly bombed by the air force in the tenth theater the day before. In my opinion, the reason is very simple. It was that the 37mm anti-aircraft artillery of the air defense brigade assigned by the 569 troops exposed the target, causing Chinese bombers to flock to Morita, the commander of the 569 troops. A male lieutenant colonel and 297 researchers and engineers were all martyred. Due to the use of a large number of incendiary bombs, they carried out a rare and indiscriminate attack.

It was said that after investigation, I believed that it was the reading anti-aircraft gun brigade assigned to the 569 troops that first opened fire and injured a [***] bomber, which led to the other party's revenge and bombing. As a result, the 569 troops, whose position was extremely secret, and the high temperature of the special incendiary bombs burned down the reinforced concrete and the defense of the structure. Part of the emptiness, Kazuo Morita and his vicious subordinates are steamed? The tragic situation made me exclaim, so Kenji Ueda gave an order temporarily. Since the flying division of the Kwantung Army was defeated by the air force of the 10th war zone, it could only rely on camouflage.

For the death of Unit 569, Kenji Ueda was also extremely depressed. Fortunately, [***] used a large number of special incendiary bombs, which directly disinfected the research of Unit 569, which did not lead to the spread of the virus, but also shocked Kenji Ueda. Unit 569 was completely After the destruction, Unit 731 was even more important. Unit 731 was related to the implementation of the "Heavenly Battle" secret order issued by His Majesty the Emperor, and there was no accident at this critical juncture.

What makes Kenji Ueda feel a little angry is that after Ningji Okamura's troops advanced less than 30 kilometers away from the morning sun, they began to dig fortifications and turned into defense? There is no intention to quickly advance into a full-scale attack? What exactly does Ningji Okamura want to do?

Kenji Ueda has sent three urgent telegrams to Ningji Okamura in a row. His tone has changed from urging him to the height of losing his fighter plane to take full responsibility and engaging in military law, but Ningji Okamura is not moved at all?

In fact, in a settlement numbered No. 11 30 kilometers away from Chaoyang Fortress, Gangcun Ningci stood in the activity room of the hot settlement, looking at the neat coals in the corner of the wall, all the living utensils, and completely eliminating the posters of the Japanese invaders on the wall, especially hanging on the big blackboard. A piece of pajamas and a note aroused the interest of Ningji Okamura, because the Chinese on the note said, "We will come back!"

From his previous combat experience, Ningci Okamura showed that in the winter war, such a large settlement would have long been burned by Zhang Xuewu's troops themselves to avoid being used by the enemy. However, this time, the tenth war zone did not do so. The residents retreated very organizedly, and all the livestock were carried by the Chinese people. The most important food is basically left at home, which means that the actual control areas of the tenth war zone such as Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan are not short of grain, and Zhang Xuewu is very confident in recovering the lost land, so Gangcun Ningci also issued an order, that is, not to destroy residential houses at will, for the objects in the residents' homes and Food is not allowed to move.

In fact, Ningji Okamura did not want to rush in the direction of the morning sun, but a few days ago, he was attacked too hard. At most, he was hit by 27 air raids a day, almost once in less than an hour. The bombing of Ningji Okamura was dark, and Ningji Okamura also understood. The problem faced by the Imperial Army is not that the generals are not brave enough, nor the weapons are too different, but the implementation of the overall strategy and tactics, the old and rigid strategic deployment and rigid tactical command. It can be said that Ningji Okamura analyzed all the battles that Zhang Xuewu participated in and commanded, and for Zhang Xuewu's thinking and Did he feel a kind of fear in tactics?

Air bombing can effectively support the army's ground operations, but relying on high-intensity air strikes alone can make it difficult for its huge troops to move, and the losses are huge. This is what Ningji Okamura has never dared to think of before. The group assault of armored fighting vehicles quickly surrounds and divides the enemy, with fierce artillery. The ground and air firepower was annihilated. This is a military paper written by Okamura Ningji a few years ago. It is a pity that these ideas of Okamura Ningci have all been verified by the imperial army.

As for the order of Kenji Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ningji Okamura did not take it seriously at all, because the full combat effectiveness of the two armored divisions in the 10th battle zone in the judgment of [***] of Okamura Ningji has not been fully reflected, and in the narrow triangle area from Chaoyang to Lingyuan, there are as many as nine divisions of the empire. The troops, as well as the troops of eleven divisions, including the two armored divisions in the tenth war zone, the garrison division and the Youth Army's integrated division, are crowded in the narrow triangle area and launch a fierce and abnormal battle in the ice and snow. Now their seven divisions and four reading mixed brigades are squeezed in? This is obviously not a wise choice!

Moreover, Ningji Okamura believes that the middle [***] department is deliberately preserving its strength. Its armored division is unwilling to take into account the loss and easily attack and use the second-sided army Isotani Renjie's troops to defend the terrain. Once the emperor [***]'s comprehensive attack is lost and turns to retreat, then the fangs of the armored division in the tenth war zone will Real release.

So Ningji Okamura decided that instead of going to this muddy water, it would be much more practical to protect himself at this moment. Ueda Kenji was like a gambler who had lost the last chip and his eyes. Wouldn't he die without a whole body at his orders? What's the credibility of a guy who even hides his subordinates?

In the rumble of the night sky, the roar of the motors of bombers and night-flight multi-purpose fighters resounded through the night sky!
