Chapter 240

Airborne troops are released

After coming to China for so long, the two German generals have fully understood the custom of Chinese people for face and are also clear about some taboos that Chiang Kai-shek must not touch. For example, he is stubborn and cannot dissuade him if he is stubborn.

On the sand table, there was almost no command and mobilization that Zhu Bin took the initiative, but the various actions and changes brought back by the referees of the director's department from the front. Such a strange scene surprised the military officers stationed in China and the generals of the observation group. Many people even thought that this was just a performance show! The task force on Zhu Bin cooperated with the teaching corps to conduct a big drama of reading the script.

This is so ridiculous! The two sides used nearly 20,000 naval, army, air force, dozens of fighter planes, more than a dozen warships, tanks, cannons, armored vehicles, etc., and a huge battlefield spanning hundreds of kilometers. They even specially prepared a series of expensive exercise equipment - the money spent is enough for them to arm several divisions. It is definitely a stupid joke to act for the whole world at such a price!

The Chinese are not as rich as that, and not as stupid as that, so this speculation is difficult to hold.

The people in the room are not laymen, and the whole exercise will last three days or even longer. They have enough time to judge everything and wait patiently.

Just as Gui Yongqing issued a detailed command order almost a minute, teaching the commanders of the various departments in front of the corps to act stiffly like puppets, the task force finally saw the trend. They first painted the four transport planes with Chinese aviation painted logos, and then carried four fully armed reconnaissance teams and dropped them directly to the periphery of the exercise field!

"Nonsense!" Old Jiang almost ran away. This is an exercise. How could he do such a trick?! Is it shameless to pretend to be a civil aviation to throw parachute soldiers? Wait, parachute?!

Jiang Jiang had heard that Zhu Bin's men could parachute, but he didn't believe it. Not to mention anything else, the force of two regiments, even if only half of them were infantry, would require three battalions of two or three thousand people, and they all learned to parachute. How much time would it take to train? The transport planes would not be busy all day long... It seems that their Zhoushan Airport is indeed quite busy.

To take a step back, no real parachute can be so easy to succeed. Not to mention the big guys of transport aircraft, China is so dense that it will be easily discovered wherever it jumps down. Once it is trapped in a siege, it is just a matter of death. Besides, the Central Army cannot handle fighter jets now, and the parachute landing of large transport aircraft is all fantasy.

But Zhu Bin actually made it. The scout parachute was descending? What did he do?

Needless to say, someone immediately went to Zhu Bin to ask about the situation, and then came back to report: "According to the requirements of the director department, everything starts from actual combat. We believe that in real war, as long as we can obtain means ahead of the enemy, we must flexibly adopt them. Our enemies have pretended to be a scheming intelligence for incidents many times, so this practice is normal."

It was hard for Chiang Kai-shek to say anything more, because when the foreign observers heard the camouflaged parachute, they immediately stared at them and immediately asked Yu Baoguo, the representative of the task force who was dedicated to explaining the contacts here. Comrade Xiao Yu showed off his temperament from a German Army School and skillfully used the foreign languages ​​of Britain, France and Germany to respond to various questions. As long as they were not too exposed to military secrets, they answered appropriately and fully.

Colonel Grant of the US Navy was full of interest and exclaimed: "This is a very imaginative combat operation. It falls from the sky when the enemy is difficult to detect and block, establish multiple reconnaissance posts deep into the enemy's rear, and even launches small-scale attacks and sabotage operations. For example, fighting for a key bridge like you, creating accidents and delaying the enemy's recruitment team will have a huge positive effect."

The United States is rich and powerful. Although the economy is in a downturn, the Navy's procurement has not stopped. Especially the aviation army, there have been hundreds of aircraft bidding for several consecutive years. Many models jointly developed by Zhu Bin, Douglas and Curtis have been successfully selected, and now they cover fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, water patrol aircraft, medium-sized transport aircraft, etc., with full orders.

At the same time, because of the Navy's escort cooperation project, it brought tens of millions of extra money to the US Navy, making the group of guys feel so happy that their mouths are crooked. That is quite pleasant!

Therefore, it is normal to take advantage of the opportunity to say a few more good things.

General Farkenhausen nodded in agreement: "If a large number of airborne troops can be concentrated and a large-scale airborne battle can be launched, and the strategic goals of the enemy will be broken through in one fell swoop, such as controlling a city center, bridge or warehouse, will play an important role in affecting the situation of the battle. It has to be said that the task force's combat plan is very bold."

The room was full of discussion, and the beginning of the exercise made them lit up. How many surprises can there be in the next place? It is worth looking forward to!

Lao Jiang heard their comments, most of them didn't understand foreign languages, but the foreign language adjutants translated them honestly. The more they listened, the more worried Gui Yongqing was, the first move was beyond their plan!

Gui Yongqing did everything according to his instructions, and gave Jiang the instructions personally. He focused on air defense, but did not consider the content of the opponent's disguise infiltration. Someone mentioned that Zhu Bin had a large number of transport aircraft in his hand, which might have taken airborne operations, but after some analysis, it was rejected. Unless they could airborne one regiment or one heavy battalion at a time, they would fall into the vast ocean of the people's war and be dead.

Besides, the design scene for the battle was inland, and any plane that took off from the coast would be discovered. There was no suddenness. Wouldn't they commit suicide by airborne?

But it is disguised as civil aviation... Nowadays, there are countless civil aviation aircraft across the country, most of which are domestic DC-2s, and they all look the same except for different paints. According to the exercise requirements, the aircraft of the task force took off from the Zhoushan base, which was regarded as enemy aircraft flying from the southeast coast. But what about he going to circle a big circle? The dispersed civil aviation aircraft came from Ningbo, Shanghai or even further away, who would have noticed it!

It's so sad!

As expected, the feedback from the referee team was like this. Gui Yongqing didn't know that the other party would do this at all. After a long time, there was no report of the airborne troops. Soon after, four shocking nails were marked on the sand table--the four groups of airborne reconnaissance teams all successfully entered the predetermined location!

Lao Jiang felt a little uncomfortable. Zhu Bin took the initiative to cooperate on the surface, but he had a problem when he came up. Maybe he had any tricks later. Xiao Gui, you must make a sigh of relief for me!

Looking at the sand table, Gui Yongqing started all his strength as soon as he came up, and had successfully built the Yushan-Fushan defense line, which blocked the enemy's land attack. According to the plan of the General Staff Headquarters, multiple national defense fronts should be built here and in the front and back. At this time, assuming that there is no Songhu defense line ahead, seize the opportunity before the enemy arrives to enter and build a position.

In addition, another group of people has entered the Jiangyin Fortress, stationed the Huangshan Tianji Fort on the river bank and the east and west of the other side. With the two double-mounted 305 naval guns there, and the six 150mm fortress guns just purchased, they should be sufficiently guarded. The amphibious landing ships of the Special Service Fleet are afraid to get close. Both types of cannons have a range of more than 20 kilometers! Facing the narrow river surface, there is nowhere to hide.

It seems...it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"Warning wars cannot be taken for granted. Everything is not planned clearly in advance, and you think it can be done based on the commander's wishful command. Then there will be not so many irreversible low-level mistakes in the world!"

In the Blue Army Command, Zhu Bin crossed his legs and shamelessly eavesdropped on various comments in the director's department. He opened his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile. He was cheering at the Chief of Staff Hu Yibo who was leaning over on the small sand table.

Hu Yibo was not as relaxed as him. He listened to reports on various trends at any time with conscientiousness. After restoring it on the sand table, he marked the messages obtained by the reconnaissance team one by one.

After the four teams landed, they quickly dispersed again, and all disguised themselves as the costumes of the teaching team, each targeting Changshu, Jiangyin, Wuxi and Zhenjiang for investigations. They basically did not touch the checkpoints for the time being. Relying on the complex water town terrain, they appeared and disappeared from east to west. The teaching team, which was seriously lacking communication tools and busy seizing the defense line, was patrolling the long river defense. They had never expected that four waves of Sun Monkey King had already penetrated into their stomachs.

Seeing that the red side's little deployment was marked, Hu Yibo also sighed secretly. This is still the teaching corps. It is so rigid and dogmatic in wars. It is full of loopholes in its own local defense operations. I really don't know what they would do if they face the Japanese or German army. Such a line of defense cannot stop people at all!

It’s no wonder that their bandit suppression operations failed continuously. The commander kept gesturing in the rear. What’s the difference between this and the Northern Song Dynasty’s “General from the Central Committee”? The enemy situation facing the people in front is different from what you know in the rear. Before they fight, they are all tired and desperate. When they really get to the point of the army, aren’t they all confused?

No wonder Zhu Bin couldn't be so energetic. Having this one is enough. So many countermeasures from the General Staff are in vain. For such an opponent, you can almost follow the path you need. If you lose the advantage of the number of people, they may not be able to fight this battle.

Just when Zhu Bin thought that it would be boring for a long time, he suddenly heard a message and screamed: "Yeah? There are also some people who are sober in these guys who actually discovered two camouflage freighters?"

Twenty minutes ago, on the Changshan position on the outskirts of Jiangyin Fortress, more than 100 soldiers from the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Teaching Corps rushed up the mountain and facing the Yangtze River and began to build a position.

Company commander Zhang Yansong took off his heavy helmet and held it in his hand. He wiped his sweat casually with his sleeves, and panted and shouted: "His uncle, why did he give us such a bad job! Digging trenches and doing fortifications, what era is it still doing? People's ships bombarded him, and all fortifications have to be stopped!"

Sima Jinming kept scanning the river surface with a large telescope, and smiled faintly with a faint grim smile: "You can stop talking nonsense. On such a position, the artillery of the warship may not necessarily take advantage. But it is enough to deal with the frontal position, and the focus is on the anti-aircraft gun position on the back slope. Our mission is not to engage in battle, but to discover the enemy situation in time is a great achievement."

"It's impossible! Unless they are crazy, they will come up with heavy artillery from the fortress, so why don't they seek death?" Zhang Yansong disagreed.

Sima Jinming shook his head: "Don't underestimate the opponent. They have too many methods that we are not familiar with. Not to mention anything else, from the estuary of the Yangtze River to the slowly beach here, they have too many places to land. Which place do you think can block their chariot raids?"

Zhang Yansong shook his head like a wavy drum: "That's purely in vain! Let's gather a heavy artillery company. It is said that their artillery has caught up with a regiment. Even if they can't be pulled, it's enough to drink a pot. No matter what, they are attacking and we are defense!"

Sima Jinming raised his lips and didn't talk to him. He looked at the river and suddenly his smile froze. He suddenly took off his telescope and looked at the river. He suddenly pointed at two large freighters that were only one kilometer apart with his hand: "Please pay attention! There is something wrong with those two freighters!"

"As a freighter, what's so weird about running all day long?" Zhang Yansong took the telescope and looked at it. He really couldn't tell anything wrong. He praised the guy in his hand, "Oh, I said you guy, you can't afford to buy a big guy that is 40 times the price yourself, and you don't feel so heavy! Yes, it's still produced by the Sea Equipment Institute, it's so fun!"

Sima Jinming snatched it seriously and said sternly: "You should cheer up! Those are two seaships! And many things arranged on the upper deck are different, and things are covered by the bow and behind. Don't forget that the task force started with the Japanese Navy with armed cargo ships!"

"I'm grass! Forgot this! Yes, right, why are the ships taking the risk of running into the Yangtze River channel while they are idle?! Are you afraid of sinking? If they are their armed cargo ships... *** is so shady! Such two big ships, one group is easy to transport. If we go from the upstream, we will all be made of dumplings! Hurry up and call the fort to sink! I'll call the turret and it's sunk!"

Zhang Yansong jumped up in a hurry and was about to go to the back to report to the battalion headquarters. Sima Jinming pulled him: "I just suspect that the other party has no identity and cannot fire casually. Let's just stop and investigate. Anyway, the First Fleet also has Jiang Guard to cooperate with us."

"Hehe, that's true. As long as you discover the enemy, you will be a great achievement!" Zhang Yansong grinned and laughed.

Sima Jinming smiled slightly and continued to observe the freighter, but in just two minutes, the two big guys suddenly slowed down and turned around and walked back!

Sima Jinming was shocked again and jumped up and shouted: "No! There are their investigators nearby!" He quickly ordered people to catch up with Zhang Yansong to report, and at the same time ordered to strengthen the alert and conduct a full search! But after working for half an hour, he couldn't even find a ghost.

Zhang Yansong said in confusion: "Are you a little nervous? At least one battalion has arranged this way, so where can they have room for investigation? How long will it take to start the exercise?"

Sima Jinming sighed, "I'm afraid I'm going to lose this time so much!"
Chapter completed!
