Chapter 717: We already have planes, can the aircraft carrier fleet be far behind?
Now that we have planes, can the aircraft carrier fleet be far behind?
At this time, Commander Li was full of energy. Li Yunlong had seen with his own eyes the performance of Chen's aircraft.
It was just a matter of not taking action, and the first action was to kill a Japanese wing-level fighter and bomber.
Currently, Li Yunlong still has two opportunities for air support.
There are still 5 months left before the aircraft is delivered, which is just enough time to use up these two air supports.
After the two air supports are used up, the new regiment will no longer need to call for air support, because the Eighth Route Army will have its own air power!
Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou, Zhang Dabiao and others on the side all had strong looks of expectation on their faces.
What does it feel like to have air supremacy? They have already obtained experience cards before, calling for air support to deal with Japanese aircraft and gain air supremacy. Naturally, it feels wonderful.
Don't worry about Japanese planes coming to bomb at any time, don't worry about Japanese reconnaissance planes.
At the same time, Zhao Gang and others also thought about this issue.
Zhang Dabiao said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, you said that if we have planes in the future, we won't need to call for air support. The two air supports will be wasted if not used. Why don't you talk to Boss Chen and replace the two air supports with
Forget 8 heavy howitzers.”
"No, once it is determined that air support or heavy howitzers are needed, it cannot be changed." Li Yunlong shook his head.
Xing Zhiguo said: "We have planes, and we can also call Boss Chen for air support. Wouldn't the air power be more powerful?"
"What Deputy Commander Xing said makes sense." Wang Dehou nodded and said, "Our planes and Boss Chen's planes will deal with the Japanese army together. The firepower is awesome..."
Li Yunlong stared at the map and looked thoughtful. He wanted to use up one opportunity for air support before Boss Chen's plane was delivered.
As for another air support, if Boss Chen’s analysis is correct, Okamura Nei is going to launch spring and summer sweeps. Are you afraid that there will be no chance to use air support?
At that time, if any military region is surrounded by the Japanese and needs air assistance, it will come in handy.
If Neji Okamura, an old devil, still wants to cause trouble, then we, Mr. Li, will strike first to gain advantage and then suffer disaster.
The enemy closest to northwest Shanxi now is the Japanese First Army to the south: the 33rd Division in Zhongtiao Mountain, the 41st Division stationed in Taiyuan, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the 14th Brigade, the 18th Brigade, and
The 37th Division stationed in Yangquan.
To the north is the 1st Division of the North China Front Army stationed in Datong, and further north is the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.
The weakest one is the 1st Division, which is also the Japanese unit closest to northwest Shanxi. If Li Yunlong wants to win the battle, he has to fight against the 1st Division.
Li Yunlong had attacked Datong once before, but he only attacked the remnants of the 3rd Brigade, so he defeated them quickly.
However, although the 1st Division is still a remnant, it is not very easy to fight. With the 1st Division strictly guarding and defending, it is estimated that the new regiment will have to fight for several days to capture Datong.
Moreover, the Japanese have already suffered a loss once, and it is basically difficult to attack Datong like last time.
etc…
Li Yunlong suddenly remembered that when the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade met Yin Sanxiong again, wasn't he also killed by the New Group?
"Chief of Staff, did you forget to count a Japanese general just now?" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and asked.
At this time, Wang Dehou was preparing a clear coded telegram to be sent to the military and civilians across the country and the Japanese invaders. When he heard Li Yunlong's words, he thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it again."
After a while, Wang Dehou said with an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, commander, I forgot about the 3rd Brigade Commander meeting Yin Sanxiong again."
Li Yunlong suddenly got angry and said: "You prodigal son, the head of an old devil like Yin Sanxiong is worth a plane, but you have forgotten it?"
"Captain." Wang Dehou blamed himself, "I reflect on the fact that we killed quite a few Japanese generals. I really didn't remember them."
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Let's forget about the review. If we don't do it next time, I will mention this to Brother Chen when I meet him next time. Based on my friendship with Brother Chen, he will definitely give me a replacement plane.
"
This incident cannot be entirely blamed on Wang Dehou. Even Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong themselves, who have relatively good memories, did not remember that the new regiment killed the Japanese general Yin Sanxiong.
After a pause, Li Yunlong asked again: "When you are drafting the coded telegram, just remember to add the name of the old Japanese Yin Sanxiong who met you again."
"yes!"
Wang Dehou looked at the clearly coded telegram, quickly tore it up and wrote a new one, this time adding the words "Meet Major General Yin Sanxiong again."
So, the total number of Japanese generals Shinichi killed were 6 lieutenant generals and 10 major generals.
Only those with the rank of major general and above can be called generals. Only generals who kill the Japanese can have a blow to the morale of the Japanese army. The new regiment killed at least hundreds of left-wing officials.
After a while, Wang Dehou drafted the telegram and gave it to Li Yunlong for review.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly. In addition to Li Yunlong's instructions to list the generals who killed the Japanese, the contents of the telegram also challenged Okamura Neiji from a distance and asked Okamura Neiji to wash his neck.
Sooner or later, the new group will chop off Okamura Neji's head and use it as a chamber pot.
Li Yunlong liked the last sentence. Seeing Li Yunlong's expression, Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang also came over to take a look.
A smile appeared on everyone's faces.
Then, Li Yunlong took out a pen from his pocket and signed his name: "Send the telegram immediately."
"yes!"
Wang Dehou handed the telegram to a combat staff officer: "This telegram, in the form of a clear telegram, will be sent immediately."
"yes!"
The combat staff officer took the telegram and walked quickly to the communications room next door.
Seeing the back of the combat staff disappear at the door, everyone smiled in unison. Once this clear telegram is sent out, the expressions on the faces of the Japanese will definitely be wonderful.
"According to the establishment given by Boss Chen, 24 Katyusha rocket launchers can be organized into a rocket launcher regiment."
Zhao Gang asked: "Lao Li, shall we hand over these 24 rocket launchers to the headquarters?"
Even Zhao Gang thought that by killing 44 Japanese planes this time, the new regiment was probably working in vain.
But he never expected that Boss Chen would directly send the Soviet Union’s most advanced equipment, the Katyusha rocket launcher.
Moreover, there are 24 rocket launchers in one shot. Boss Chen has become more and more generous in his shots recently, Zhao Gang secretly sighed.
If 24 Katyusha rocket launchers are a big surprise, 15 aircraft are a double surprise!
The value of the 15 aircraft given by Boss Chen is much greater than that of 24 rocket launchers!
The 15 aircraft will not be delivered until half a year, but the 24 rocket launchers will be delivered in five days. Now we have to consider a question, should the rocket launchers be handed over to the headquarters?
And we need to reply to Boss Chen as soon as possible, how to distribute these 24 Katyusha rocket launchers so that Boss Chen can arrange delivery.
"Old Zhao, what do you think?" Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang.
"My opinion is," Zhao Gang said, "Send 12 Katyusha rocket launchers to the headquarters, and we will keep 12 rocket launchers. After all, our current artillery firepower is not bad."
"Old Zhao, I don't agree with your opinion." Li Yunlong said, "You have also read the information given by Boss Chen. This Katyusha rocket launcher is used for fire coverage. If it is divided into half, the firepower will be half weak, and the combat effectiveness will be reduced.
Cut it in half, and it’s best to use it concentratedly to take full advantage of its firepower.”
Zhao Gang asked: "Then what do you mean..."
Li Yunlong said: "What I mean is that this time there are 24 Katyusha rocket launchers and 5,000 rockets. Just ask the head of the headquarters for instructions and stay with our new regiment. No matter how many Katyusha rocket launchers we earn next time
and ammunition, all belong to the headquarters."
Zhao Gang said: "Then next time if we make 50 Katyusha rocket launchers, you kid, don't complain about blood loss or anything like that."
"Who is our old Li like that?" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "With these three melons and two dates, it won't be..."
Zhang Dabiao, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side couldn't help but curl their lips when they heard Li Yunlong's words. Who heard them shout that this battle was a bloody loss after shooting down 37 Japanese planes?
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, just follow what I said and immediately draft a telegram and send it to the headquarters. In addition, report the 16 aircraft we earned to the head of the headquarters."
"Yes!" Wang Dehou responded first, and then smiled, "The head of the headquarters will definitely be happy from ear to ear when he hears this news."
While talking, Wang Dehou took out a paper and pen, made a draft first, and then started writing the telegram quickly.
After Wang Dehou finished writing the telegram, Li Yunlong took it, read it, signed his name, and asked the combat staff to take it to the communications room to send the telegram out.
Zhang Dabiao said with emotion: "When Boss Chen's 24 rocket launchers are in place, the artillery firepower of our regiment will be qualitatively improved!"
Each Katyusha rocket launcher can fire 16 rockets within 10 seconds, and 24 Katyusha rockets can launch a salvo, which means that it can launch 384 rockets at enemy positions or assembly areas within 10 seconds.
bomb.
Currently, the new regiment is equipped with 150mm howitzers, with a rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute, and a total of more than 30 guns.
At a normal rate of fire, a 150mm howitzer battalion fired more than 100 shells at the enemy position in just one minute.
This density of firepower makes Zhang Dabiao excited just thinking about it.
Li Yunlong is also looking forward to the Katyusha rocket launcher, which boss Chen calls a weapon of mass destruction.
"Old Zhao." Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, "The Japs are lurking in our regiment's senior agents. We must hurry up and find him. This Japs is worth 2,000 Japanese army horses!"
…
[Yesterday, brothers reported that the aircraft was too advanced. After careful consideration, we decided to change the B29 bomber to an A20 attack aircraft. Strategic bombers like the B29 will not be released until later when Tokyo is grilled.
Since the Eighth Route Army has too few pilots, the Saber fighter jets will remain unchanged. However, the model of the Saber fighter jets will not be too advanced, just the type of Chao Zhan, and the weapons will not exceed that of the Chao Zhan.
Even the Hellcats and Mustangs equipped by the Eighth Route Army's air force are inferior to the Japanese Zero in terms of performance, but the Eighth Route Army currently has too few pilots, and the Japanese aviation force can wipe them out even if they are exhausted, so this time I will give you 10 A20s.
attack aircraft and 6 Saber fighters.
Again, if we already have planes, can the aircraft carrier fleet be far behind?]
