As the scarcest resource of the Second Expeditionary Army, the Second Special Artillery Regiment is under the direct command of Huang Hua. If the joint command headquarters wants to call it, it needs Huang Haifu and Walaifu to sign the order. Walaifu nodded and said: "Today's air strike
Our Japanese aviation force should be an elite force, and I support your decision!"
Huang Haifu: "Then I will draft an order." He sat on a chair made of ammunition boxes, picked up a pen and scribbled orders on the order notes, and said at the same time: "Xue Debing and the others should have detected the Japanese forward.
I don’t know if its main force will have the guts to continue attacking tomorrow!”
Waleff laughed: "Are you afraid that we won't be able to fight? Don't worry, the Japanese army will launch such a fierce air attack. It shouldn't end in a hurry."
"I hope so!"
The Xuebing Army launched the "Sink" operation, gathering the Guangzhou Aviation Corps, the Zhejiang Aviation Corps, and the Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps to conduct a long-distance raid of more than 1,000 kilometers and air raids on Kyushu Island, Japan, completely destroying the two important military ports of Nagasaki and Sasebo.
After the news was disclosed by the Xuebing Army Headquarters and published in the newspapers, people within the Xuebing Army's jurisdiction rushed to tell each other. All soldiers and civilians fell into great joy, and the morale of the people was once again united.
Takahashi Ryoko didn't know the news until a little later. Only then did the Japanese woman understand the purpose of those batches of fighter planes flying eastward that she saw during the day. Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the Guangzhou branch of the Anti-War Alliance
, listening to the cheers from the streets, she looked to the east, her heart filled with longing for her homeland, and she couldn't help but murmured: "The student army dared to attack Kyushu in the daytime, is this war almost over?
?”
The Xuebing Army suddenly dispatched an unprecedented scale of aviation forces to attack the Japanese mainland. This move shocked too many people.
After the Americans, the British also received relevant intelligence. In London, including British Prime Minister Churchill, British political officials believed that this was a sign that the Xuebing Army was about to launch a counterattack, and believed that the Xuebing Army's move would inevitably lead the main force of the Japanese army to
In the east, the pressure on the British army in India would be greatly reduced, so a series of telegrams were sent to Wavell to instruct him on what to do. The idea was that this was a great opportunity for the British army in the Far East to launch a counterattack, and they should seize it.
Wavell was aware of this, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but he could only act according to the order, so that night, he intercepted Ouyang Yun in the small Indian town of Varasina.
After the failure of the Battle of Pyay, Wavell's life was quite miserable. After the battle, the British army, which suffered heavy losses, no longer had the capital to fight a positional battle or even a major battle with the Japanese army, so they had to abandon a large defensive position north of Pyay.
Turn to the India-Myanmar border and make a strategic retreat.
The British agreed to lease Karachi to the Cadet Army, partly because of pressure from the U.S. government, but also because their Far East Air Force had suffered extensive losses and was in urgent need of additional fighter planes, so it viewed this as a way to enhance friendly relations with the Cadet Army.
An opportunity to purchase fighter jets from the Xuebing Army.
Today, the Xuebing Army's two iconic fighter aircraft types, the Baiji and the Sky Fortress, have long entered the ranks of the main front-line fighters. However, due to deep-rooted traditional concepts, including Americans, although they are professional
I appreciate these two fighter jets from a different perspective, but I don’t think that the Whiteback and the Sky Fortress are the most advanced. In the words of some so-called professionals - how could they develop a country that is so poor and backward in such a short period of time that far exceeds the world average?
Level of advanced fighters? Wavell is one of those who holds this concept, so he was initially willing to reach an agreement with the Xuebing Army to purchase fighters, and his purpose was just for emergency purposes.
But it's different now.
The Xuebing Army's courage to launch air attacks on two important Japanese military ports at the same time during the day must be due to its confidence in the powerful performance of its own fighter planes and its lack of fear of Japanese retaliation.
Wavell arrived at Valasina in a Xuebingjun Great Wall off-road vehicle. During the meeting in Bangkok, Wavell and Ouyang Yun reached many agreements, including the purchase of fifty Great Wall armed off-road vehicles.
It has been some time since fifty Great Wall off-road vehicles were handed over to the British army, but this was the first time for Wavell to ride on them for a long time. The longer the ride lasted, the better the understanding of the superior off-road performance of the Great Wall off-road vehicles.
The feeling became deeper and deeper, so he said with emotion: "It was my mistake. Xuebingjun can even build such an advanced car, so why can't it build a fighter plane with superior performance?"
The frontline battles were losing ground and large areas of colonies were captured by the Japanese army. This made it difficult for Wavell to maintain his usual arrogant attitude. When he saw Ouyang Yun again, the old British man's attitude was that of a gentleman. Xinbao, who had also met him in Bangkok, felt that
I couldn't help but make strange remarks again and again: It's strange that the old British man is so polite now.
Ouyang Yun's itinerary included meeting with Wavell and signing the terms of leasing Karachi. He was not surprised that the old British man intercepted him in the middle of the night. The situation in the India-Burma war was so corrupt that it was strange that the British were not impatient.
After a brief greeting, the old British man stopped talking nonsense and directly stated the main purpose of his trip. He summed it up in one sentence: "Fighter planes, fighter planes, we urgently need your army's fighter planes!"
The old British man looked anxious and angry, while Ouyang Yun's expression became calmer, and he talked about many difficulties casually: We only have two fighter production lines, and the production capacity can only meet the demand; our non-ferrous metal production is limited, and our fuel reserves are insufficient... Summary
The same thing I said when I got up was: I understand your urgency, but our military capabilities are only so great, so I’m sorry that I can’t help you.
If Ouyang Yun had had this attitude during the talks in Bangkok, the old British man would have slapped the table and walked away. But at this moment, even though the old British man was furious, he could only suppress it and said in a soothing tone as much as possible:
"But I heard that Ang Bos has purchased a large number of fighter planes from your army. Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, could you please discuss and sell those fighter planes to us first? If you have difficulty speaking, we will come forward to discuss with Ang Bos."
"But a considerable number of those fighters are old fighters. Are you sure?"
Regarding the fact that France has purchased a large number of fighter planes from the Xuebing Army, Wavell also heard about it and did not know the actual facts. If he knew that the so-called old fighters in Ouyang Yunkou were actually early Baiji models, he would probably not hesitate.
He agreed. The problem was that he didn't know, so he hesitated immediately after Ouyang Yun said this. Then, he took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind, stared into Ouyang Yun's eyes and said: "Your Excellency, we
We really need a group of fighter planes to maintain the war situation, you can make conditions, as long as we have the ability to do it, we will definitely accept it."
"Huh?" Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes, and the word "Hong Kong" immediately came to mind. It was a great temptation, but then he thought about it. The Japanese would definitely attack Hong Kong next, and he would just defeat it by then. There was no need to
Wasting this opportunity to exploit the British, he said: "You misunderstood me. I really can't help you. Well, please wait a moment. Tassel!"
"Brother?" Bai Liusu responded and looked at her.
"Send a telegram back to Guangzhou and ask if we can spare a few Baijis in the near future!"
"OK."
Wavell couldn't understand the Chinese language, so he quickly asked the translator next to him. Then, when the translator translated it, the old man almost went crazy when he heard "a few Baiji Dolphins".
"Fifty, please support us with at least fifty!" He said to Ouyang Yun, his face turning red.
