Chapter 1428 is frightened(1/2)

Chapter 1428: Heart-pounding

After a comprehensive analysis of the types, formations and headings of Japanese fighter planes, Yu Zhixiang's formation appears to be quite satisfactory and nothing new.

According to the information fed back by the radar, the Japanese military aircraft group flew towards the Shanghai area mainly from the East China Sea and Taiwan. When it was over the Ma'an Islands (only a map of the Republic of China in 1937 was on hand, the northeastern periphery of the Zhoushan Islands), the radar was deployed along the Hangzhou Bay line.

Capture the information and issue an early warning immediately.

At this time, the Japanese army changed direction again and flew towards the airspace of Hangzhou City. Obviously, its main purpose was to reinforce its army's battle.

From the signals fed back by different radars, we can basically determine the approximate size, shape and other information of the Japanese fighter aircraft. The data obtained by the computer is that this time the Japanese army dispatched a total of 22 reconnaissance aircraft, 96 bombers, 59 attack aircraft, and 116 biplane fighters.

, 178 monoplanes, bringing the total number to an astonishing 471. This should be the most ferocious wave of Japanese air strikes since the beginning of the war between China and Japan.

After nearly two months of continuous accumulation of strength, based on the Japanese military's daily production of 50 fighter jets (note: the real historical figure is 76.71), even if half of the production lines of backward fighter jets are eliminated, the daily output of 25 fighter jets can still be achieved. This number is multiplied by 60 days.

That’s 1,500 aircraft. Of course, it’s actually limited by steel.

, the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials such as alloys and rubber, this number must be halved to be more fair, but it can still reach 750 aircraft. Compared with the production capacity of the Xufu Aircraft Factory, it is still a complete victory (Note: It should be close to the actual situation at this time, this time

The book plane, due to the strong assistance from the United States, should be much stronger than the original history).

Coupled with the number of fighter jets purchased from Italy and the United States, although they suffered a lot in previous series of battles, the number of fighter jets currently equipped by the Japanese army has reached a quite terrifying level.

*** established the Army Aviation Group in the fourth year of Taisho (1915). By the ninth year of Taisho (1920), six aviation groups had been established with 428 active Army Aviation Corps members. At the same time, ***

The government established the Army Aviation School on April 15, 1919, with Major General Kawa Takaichi as its head.

He served as the principal of the aviation school. In the year when the school was opened, there were 353 students. In the 10th year of Taisho (1921), the Akeno branch and the Shimojitsu branch of the Army Aviation School were established successively. In the 13th year of Taisho (1924), the three army aviation schools were established respectively.

Renamed Tokorozawa Army Flying School, Akeno Army Flying School and Shimojitsu Army Flying School.

In that year, the three army flight schools already had 2,618 students. In the eighth year of the Showa era (1933), Japan established the Hamamatsu Army Flight School and the Tokyo Army Aviation School. By the tenth year of the Showa Period (1935)

), Tokorozawa Army Second Flight School, Kumagai Army Flight School and Army Aviation Technical School are also officially

Established (Note: This was historical data, real data). So far, the Army Aviation Corps has only eight army flight and technical schools. It is conservatively estimated that in these seventeen years, the aviation schools have trained at least tens of thousands of pilots.

, excluding factors such as birth, old age, illness, and death, there are at least 5,000 experienced aviation troops who can go into battle now.

What if this number is added to the number of pilots trained by the Naval Aviation? It is really unimaginable!

In addition, affected by the defeats in the Baoding air battle in July and the Jidong air battle in August, the proposal submitted by Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi to the Japanese emperor mentioned for the first time the issue of training professional flight noncommissioned officers and officers. In mid-August, Hirohito

An edict was issued to establish Nagoya Land in Nagoya and Osaka.

The Military Aviation Academy and the Osaka Army Aviation Academy are two schools that train professional army flying officers. The Navy was not willing to lag behind and established the Yokohama Naval Aviation Academy and the Yokosuka Naval Aviation Academy in the two port cities of Yokohama and Yokosuka.

Therefore, from the above, it can be seen that at the beginning of the war between China and Japan, the talent reserve of Japanese military pilots was far superior to that of our country. As long as the fighter production capacity can keep up in time, the instantaneous navy, land and air force capabilities will be very terrifying.

Suddenly seeing so many fighter jets invading, the Air Force's response was as follows:

Order the three fighter squadrons of the Air Force 7th Regiment at Nanchang Airport, which is farthest from Hangzhou, to take off immediately and rush to the Hangzhou airspace to join the battle group at any time; order the Air Force 3rd Air Regiment stationed in Kunshan and the Air Force 5th Air Regiment stationed in Taicang, a total of six fighter squadrons, to go first

lurking

In the airspace of Hangzhou Bay, wait for work and wait for the Japanese fighter jets to arrive and deliver a fatal blow to them. The three fighter squadrons of the 2nd Air Regiment should quickly break away from the ground battle and join the ambush operation, striving to deliver a head-on blow to the Japanese fighter jets in the early stage of the air battle.

After the order was issued, Yu Zhixiang discussed with the generals at the combat command and monitoring center and found no problems, so he asked the *** members to forward the order to the Anjia Army Headquarters, and then continued to monitor the situation on the battlefield and report to them at any time.

Various ministries provide reminders of the latest movements of the Japanese military aircraft fleet.

...

In the war room of Guyi Garden in Nanxiang Town, An Yi was explaining to a general from the headquarters the reasons for transferring the troops stationed in Baoding south.

"The destruction of Baoding Military Station is of course the main factor. With the loss of food, artillery, guns and ammunition stored in Baoding Military Station, our normal supplies have basically been cut off. The officers and soldiers will go hungry every day they stay.

If you stay for two days, your whole body will lose strength. If you stay for three days, the army will suffer a large-scale attrition. If you stay for four days, it will probably take a full day.

All the troops have collapsed. This situation cannot be reversed by manpower. Therefore, it is of no practical significance for our army, air force and air defense force to stay in Baoding City. It is better to take this opportunity to withdraw and use their rich resources to fight the enemy.

Combat experience can cultivate more talents, so that we can continue this war that is getting bigger and bigger.

"In addition, there is another extremely important reason, that is, I predict that the war in North China may soon change, and there may even be an unprecedented rout. War has never been determined by the number of troops.

, but a concrete manifestation of comprehensive strength and commander-in-chief’s strategy. So far, there are only Pinghan-Han Railway, Zhengzhou Yellow River, etc. on the entire Yellow River.

Bridges, Jinan-Puzhou Railway, Jinan Luokou Bridge, and Lanzhou Highway Bridge. Among them, only the Zhengzhou and Luokou bridges can support frontline operations in North China. These two bridges have been destroyed by traitors a few days ago and are used by millions of troops in North China.

The required food, guns and ammunition can only be transported to the north bank through ferries at various ferries on the Yellow River, and then sent to the front line by railways and highways.

"As we all know, our country is an oil-poor country. Although our geological experts from Southwest University of Science and Technology have discovered large oil fields in Changqing and Yumen areas, and have also made gains in Qinghai area, it is still not realistic to produce large quantities of oil.

In addition, the Yanchang Oilfield, which was exploited as early as the late Qing Dynasty, currently can only achieve daily production due to backward oil production equipment and complex geological conditions.

Producing 1.5 tons of crude oil. my country's coastal ports have been occupied by the Communists. It is extremely difficult to deliver oil to North China. One day, the fuel supply for vehicles will be cut off, and I am afraid that people will starve to death. Really? At that point, let alone fighting the Japanese, as long as they launch a charge, I guess it will be a disastrous defeat!

"I will not let my troops retreat if there is any way, but when we know that we will lose the war, do we still need to cling to the little face in our hearts and ignore the safety of the frontline soldiers? I hope everyone

You can always remember the words I often say: Only by preserving yourself can you better attack the enemy!"

In the war room, all the generals and staff members were convinced and nodded silently.

Operations staff officer Liu Yu asked with some curiosity: "Commander, since you know that the Japanese have begun to take action, why don't you remind the chairman? How many innocent lives can be saved that way!"

An Yi looked helpless: "Is the reminder useful at this time? Now the international situation has changed dramatically. The Geneva Conference of the League of Nations has passed a formal resolution requiring the Communist Party to immediately stop invading China, otherwise it will be expelled from the League of Nations and be fully punished.

Directional sanctions. The Chairman wants to keep the million troops in North China to intimidate the Japanese and seek the initiative at the negotiation table. Once the contract is completed, Hebei and the Ping-Tianjin area will be under the control of the central government.

"The temptation of the Northern Expedition to regain the homeland and leave a name for eternity is too great. In the opinion of the Chairman, the current difficulties are only temporary and will be over by gritting one's teeth. I estimate that next, the Chairman will strictly increase the supply of grain to Hebei."

The supply of materials is strong, but he has never thought about how terrible the daily consumption of more than one million people is. The further it goes down, the worse the situation will only get!"

Shen Fengdao thought thoughtfully: "No wonder when you came back from Simao, you heard that heavy rains in northern Hebei, central Hebei, and southern Hebei were causing disasters, so they began to organize large-scale migration of Hebei people through the Zhengtai Railway, Jinpu Railway, and Pinghan Railway. So far,

Nearly five million people have been transferred. I thought you were anxious to use these people to dilute the proportion of Jews. It turns out you are worried..."

An Yi shook his head: "Military disasters have always been more terrifying than natural disasters. Soldiers have guns in their hands, and they can use them to grab food. There will always be a way. What should the people do? The heavy rain at the end of last month was really unlucky.

time, a continuous week, central and southern Hebei

The large rivers and small rivers in the central area overflowed, and the wheat entering the grain-filling period was all soaked in the water. I had a premonition that the battle plan of the General Staff and the Military and Political Department to raise food on the spot would be ruined. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. God is not long-sighted.

Ah!" An Yi sighed sadly.

Just as sighs and sighs were heard in the war room, Li Yufu walked quickly into the house, came to An Yi, and directly sent the message. An Yi took it over, took a look, and smiled slightly mockingly:

"Sure enough, the Chairman agreed to my transfer request and asked at the end of the message when the new Second Army will depart? Old Shen, give Brother Fang Lu a call and ask him to accept the order of the Military Commission! Remember, anything that does not Reasonable orders that are inconsistent with the concept of mechanized warfare will not be accepted!"

Shen Fengdao left knowingly. There were some things that were difficult to say through An Yi's mouth. Only he, the adjutant chief, could do it for him.

Today is destined to be an unusual day. Before An Yi could take a breath, Lin Fei, Chief of Staff of the Southwest Air Force, came to An Yi with a solemn expression and handed him a message:

"Commander! This is the combat order just issued by the Air Force commander..."

An Yi's face changed after reading: "Zhixiang and the others have forgotten the Japanese fighter jets in Pudong? Is it wise to reveal all their trump cards at once?"

Lin Fei was a little helpless: "I guess Zhixiang is also anxious. The Japanese army has been holding back for so long, holding back so many planes in one breath, and wants to bulldoze us all. Anyone who suddenly sees such a large fleet will probably be terrified." !Now let’s see how we can remedy it!”

"Needless to say, all the anti-aircraft artillery fire must be ready at this time. It will take at least a quarter of an hour to get from Pudong to our nearest Songjiang Airport. Pudong is all under the surveillance of our air defense radar, so we are not afraid of something happening to them. ....." An Yi paced back and forth, thinking carefully: "Well, our second artillery must be protected. This is our trump card. Don't fail to defeat the enemy... Bah, bah, bah, crow. Mouth! Forget it, don’t think about it so much, just adapt to circumstances! I hope luck is still on our side this time!"

Lin Fei nodded silently, the combat order had been issued, and that was all he could do for the time being.

...

Hangzhou, with its picturesque West Lake, has now become a hell of killing.

Because the 37th Brigade of Liu Jianxu's 10th Group Army was temporarily reorganized into the 11th Brigade, the 12th Brigade retreated too quickly. Before Zhang Fakui could reach the second line position designated by Chen Cheng, the Japanese army had already captured the Lion. The fortifications in the highlands of Qipan Mountain, Qipan Mountain and Wulaofeng are currently being repaired.

Once the Japanese army is allowed to stand firm, with its usual arrogance and domineering attitude, it will definitely continue to launch fierce attacks until it penetrates the entire defense line and faces the Jiangnan Plain.

Zhang Fakui set up his headquarters at Taoyuan Ridge, Lingxi, two kilometers north of the Japanese defense line. The Second Artillery Regiment was deployed at the North Peak, along the Meiren Peak line. He also mobilized Li Songshan's 55th Division to storm the Lion Rock on the left flank of the Japanese army from Tianxi Mountain. , Qipanshan, Ruan Zhaochang's 57th Division attacked the main Japanese position at Wulaofeng.

Since the 62nd Division needed to guard Lianhua Peak in the southwest of Hangzhou, Zhang Fakui only kept the 45th Brigade of the *** as a reserve force.

Soon, the artillery regiment's 30 75mm mountain guns opened fire under the command of Zhang Fakui.

Thirty artillery shells fell from the sky with a huge roar and fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers who were nervously repairing the fortifications. The fire was shining and the smoke was filled, killing dozens of Japanese soldiers in an instant.

The Japanese 92 infantry artillery and mortars mounted on the top of Wulaofeng opened fire subconsciously to suppress the position of the Second Artillery Regiment. However, the range was not as good as the Syrian 75mm mountain gun equipped by the Second Artillery Regiment, and its accuracy was naturally greater. To be fair, the artillery shells either missed the target or fell a few hundred meters in front of the artillery position, which had no effect. On the contrary, the Japanese infantry artillery and mortars were severely beaten by the powerful mountain artillery of the Second Artillery Regiment, and soon It just misfired.

Zhang Fakui saw clearly through the telescope and was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the artillery to continue bombarding the Japanese positions, and then told Ruan Zhaochang, commander of the 57th Division, to capture Wulaofeng at all costs.

The Japanese army guarding Wulaofeng was the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division.

The commander of the regiment, Colonel Takazo Numata, set up his headquarters at the top of Qinglong Mountain, one kilometer behind the Wulaofeng Peak. He hid in a forest with a group of staff, carefully observed the offensive of the Chinese Army through binoculars, and dispatched timely calls by phone.

Frontline troops, block the gap.

Looking at the ongoing fighting on the front line of Wulaofeng in front of him, Colonel Numata Tokazo felt a little depressed. The Chinese Army's violent artillery shells blew up the Japanese soldiers on the top of Wulaofeng, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere, leaving corpses scattered all over the field.

I have always bombed others by myself, but today I saw my own troops being bombed by others. It was really a strange feeling in my heart. The 39th Regiment's six pitiful 70mm 92 infantry cannons had become

It became scrap metal, and even the twenty mortars newly equipped to strengthen the firepower of the regiment were lost. Before the infantry of the Chinese *** Corps launched a formal charge, the 39th Regiment

The losses were heavy.

At this moment, Colonel Numata Takazo still couldn't believe that his opponent was obviously not the Anjia Army, so how could he suppress such fierce artillery fire? In desperation, he had no choice but to order the troops deployed on the front line to temporarily withdraw to the back of the mountain, and use

The mountain wall forms a blind spot for shelling to avoid damage from shells, rock fragments and shock waves.

The artillery fire from the Chinese *** team continued.

Since Qinglong Mountain is more than a hundred meters higher than Wulaofeng, even if he was at the rear, Colonel Numata Takazo could still see the densely packed infantry of the Chinese Army charging towards Wulaofeng.

These so-called mountains by the West Lake are actually nothing more than 100 meters, 200 meters, and the highest is only more than 300 meters high. It is not difficult to attack from the bottom up, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, medium **
