Nanhua, the capital, and the base camp of the Anjia Army.
After receiving battle reports from the front line, especially the news that the city of Baku and the port of Batumi were in flames, the busy and orderly combat command center burst into cheers.
Every general here knows very well what losing the annual supply of more than 20 million tons of oil means to the Germans, and everyone has more expectations for the coming war.
Deng Bin, who had always been calm, couldn't help but grin. After a long time, he said: "With this ultra-long-range and powerful attack weapon, we have nothing to fear...the two weapons from Baku and Batumi
The fire will definitely calm down the hot-headed Hitler, and he will have to think carefully about how to deal with the current predicament!"
"yes!"
Zhao Dongquan also looked excited: "Although the accuracy of the F-3 missile is not very high and cannot achieve fixed-point strikes on small targets, it is very effective in attacking strategically important locations such as stations, docks, and warehouses, especially
It's the enemy's ammunition depot and oil depot. If one of them falls, the explosion will destroy the entire area. It's too much of a deterrent!"
Minister of Operations Liu Yu nodded: "The German army has a high degree of mechanization and high logistics requirements. If we firmly grasp this, it will not be difficult to formulate targeted combat plans. In the future, the Germans will
It’s very difficult to do whatever you want under our noses!”
An Yi saw everyone talking about it, and his pride and pride were palpable. He couldn't help but smile, and said to himself that the ideal payload for this "Hot Wheels" No. 3 missile with a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers is a nuclear warhead. That thing
There is no need for precision. If one falls, everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers will be destroyed. That is the real killer weapon.
However, the power of the atomic bomb is still very small. The explosion power is only 20,000 tons of TNT equivalent, while the explosion power of ordinary hydrogen bombs is more than one million tons of TNT equivalent. The difference is very big. Currently, the Laizhou Institute of Nuclear Physics is conducting intensive research on hydrogen bombs.
According to Ding Molan, there is already a clue. Only when the Anjia Army's Second Artillery Force is equipped with a large number of hydrogen bombs that can be used in actual combat will the Anjia Army be truly invincible.
If you use it rashly now, it will only attract the attention of the world to you. Then it will not be fun to be criticized by thousands of people. It would be better to develop in a low-key manner for two years and wait until all the territory that should be occupied is occupied, and then use nuclear weapons.
After everyone had finished talking, An Yi took over:
"The F-2 and F-3 missiles carry high-explosive warheads and are not as powerful as you think... Generally speaking, good effects can only be achieved when hitting specific targets, and the error is also small.
It’s very troublesome. For example, today’s attack on more than 60 military camps located in the Middle East, Turkey and the Caucasus was very ineffective against the German troops gathering. Some of the missiles even missed the target by more than 200 meters, and no particles were recovered.
, making people dumbfounded.
"In my opinion, this kind of weapon at present is more of a psychological deterrent to the enemy. It blurs the concepts of front and rear, so that the enemy has to be distracted at all times to deal with our missile attacks, act forward and backward, and be cautious and cautious.
Dare to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the battle.
"These missiles are expensive to build. An air defense missile costs an average of 10,000 Chinese yuan. An F-2 missile costs 35,000 Chinese yuan. As for the F-3 missile, the cost has reached 50,000 yuan. Today's round
We fired a salvo of anti-aircraft missiles. We fired more than 2,000 anti-aircraft missiles, which meant more than 20 million were lost. Then we launched more than 400 F-3 missiles, which was more than 20 million.
"Of course, since production, manufacturing and use are all within our own system, the actual cost is just raw materials and workers' wages. However, given the production costs, we still cannot afford large-scale use, and we still have to find ways in conventional operations.
...
"We must not underestimate the fighting will of the Germans. After all, the army we are facing has experienced battles with the French Army and the Soviet Army, and is full of confidence. In today's aerial battle, the Germans suffered a big loss. Their
The Army definitely wants to move back to the first round, and the future war is not as optimistic as everyone thinks."
Yang Fei smiled and said: "Thanks to Hitler's addiction to pretense, in order to confuse us, he repeatedly postponed the launch of the war, which bought us ten precious days to build up our troops. The Germans did not expect that we did not just use the railway
To mobilize troops, sea routes and inland waterway shipping have also become another transportation channel for us.
"So far, although our military units are not in place yet, our entire western front army has increased from the original six armies to ten. The mountain group has successfully arrived in Afghanistan. In addition, there are five armies that are mobilizing westward at high speed.
China... At the same time, over the past year or so, we have improved the border defense system and built barriers and other blocking positions near major transportation lines. Even if the border is lost, we can rely on follow-up lines of defense to hold back the enemy.
Buy enough time for reinforcements to assemble!"
An Yi looked at his watch and said loudly:
"The Western Front has been handed over to Jinan. As the saying goes, do not use suspects but do not doubt people. I believe that Jinan, who has enough understanding of the German army, is capable of playing this card well. We only need to hear the news of his victory.
That's it. On the contrary, it's the Eastern Front. According to the plan, it's our turn to counterattack next!
"Previously when we assembled the bomber group, we dispatched a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the Japanese archipelago. The Japanese army's air defense system was indeed very complete. There were at least 5,000 anti-aircraft guns deployed on the entire archipelago, especially 100
Multiple Type 5 150mm anti-aircraft guns are a great threat to our bombers!
"Once the bomber is shot down in cross-border operations, the pilots and crew of the bomber will fall into the hands of the enemy... Everyone knows how difficult it is to train air force talents, seeing the effect of the F-3 missile this morning
Then, I suddenly had an idea, how about we simply use F-3 missiles to attack Japanese radar stations and important military locations, and mess up their air defense system?"
"It's not rude to come back without reciprocating. It's time to teach the little devil a lesson!"
Yang Jie stood up, his face flushed: "Don't the Japanese believe in their anti-aircraft artillery? We used F-3 missiles to break through the defenses, which made them panic. Then our air force was dispatched to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
"
The generals agreed one after another, so the matter was settled. The two missile brigades of the Second Artillery, which had just been transferred to the Dahan Peninsula and the Far East, immediately took action, and the sound of action bells rang throughout the launch base.
...
Four o'clock in the afternoon Japan time, Tokyo.
The news that the air raid had failed and that the land, sea and air force had been almost depleted was immediately placed on Tojo Hideki's desk. If it hadn't been for the news of a "great victory" from Germany, the new chief of staff, who had suffered consecutive defeats, would have been heartbroken.
It’s all there.
Army Aviation Director Anami Yuiki arrived at the General Staff Headquarters early in the morning and waited for the battle report with Tojo. He saw the reports of the failure of each pilot regiment flying in like pieces of paper, like a mourning heir:
"Tojo-kun, the Imperial Army originally deployed the First and Second Air Forces on the archipelago, a total of six aviation divisions and an educational pilot division, with more than 5,000 fighter planes of various types. Not many of them were able to return home after this sortie.
By 20%, more than 4,000 fighter planes remained on the opposite continent forever! I heard that the naval aviation force also lost more than 2,000 fighter planes in this battle. It can be said that after one war, we almost lost all the money we have accumulated over the years.
My family’s fortune has been ruined! How can I have the face to face His Majesty’s accusations?”
Tojo Hideki forced a smile:
"Ananjun, please don't be sad. Although we suffered heavy losses, we must have dealt a greater blow to our opponents! Our purpose is to cooperate with the allies' attacks in West Asia. In this battle, we have at least contained thousands of people.
Enemy planes, this is the glorious victory of friendly forces in West Asia! As long as Germany can break through the Chinese defense line in one fell swoop, burn the flames of war to India, and completely weaken the war potential of South China, all the efforts will be worth it!"
Anami shook his head: "However, the results we achieved are almost negligible... I heard that the Second Flying Division deployed in Hokkaido and Sakhalin suffered an unprecedented defeat. The opponent seemed to have used
An unheard-of weapon, our fleet was shot down by that rocket-like weapon before it even got close to the mainland."
Tojo Hideki saw that Anami was depressed and quickly comforted:
"Ananjun, you are His Majesty's favorite minister. You must cheer up. As far as I know, the Second Flying Division is a newly-built Army Flying Division. It turns out that this division is stationed in Manchuria, Mongolia and the Far East. In July
After the war broke out, most of the fighter planes were destroyed by the Chinese at the airport immediately. All the surviving pilots were taken back to the country by Ishihara, and were then sent to South America together with the outstanding pilots of the First Flying Division who withdrew from the North Branch.
.
"I heard that those pilots are currently in Colombia to take over the P37, P38, P40, P47 and P51 fighter jets and B17, B24, B29 bombers manufactured in the western United States. The current Second Flying Division is mostly composed of aviation schools.
They were transferred from civilian aviation clubs. Most of the pilots did not have much combat experience. Their annihilation was completely unexpected. This should be attributed to Ishihara's uncontrolled transfer!"
Anan Weiji said worriedly:
"After all, there are thousands of pilots. I don't know how long it will take to replenish the missing talents. Moreover, even if the Germans have made progress in the west, the problems we face are more direct...
.This air attack did not shake the foundation of the South China Army. Next, they are likely to dispatch the air force to retaliate against us. Our army, navy and air force have suffered heavy losses. How should we respond?"
Tojo laughed loudly: "I guess the dictator in Southern China must be dumbfounded now. He must not have thought that after our air strikes were launched, the Germans would take action on the Western Front. Now he must be exhausted and can only attack from East Asia."
Mobilize troops to plug the loophole!
"Ananjun, I heard that the Germans dispatched tens of thousands of fighter planes today. The South China Army's fighter planes in West Asia must have been wiped out. Elite forces must be mobilized from East Asia to resist, especially the air force. In this case, Anan
Do you think the South China Army still has the intention to invade us?"
Anan Weiji felt relieved after hearing what he said made sense.
As if to slap Tojo Hideki in the face, Anami was just about to leave when the shrill air-raid sirens of Tokyo City suddenly sounded.
Tojo Hideki's face became ugly. He turned to Anami Yuki and saw that he was also pale. He quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Anami-kun, Tokyo is impregnable. There are large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in the east, west, south and north. According to Ishihara's design, the enemy
If you want to break through the defense of our Type 5 150mm anti-aircraft guns, you will pay a heavy price. Today the Chinese gave us a huge setback with their solid defense, and we just gave them a disastrous defeat!"
Anan Weiji complained endlessly in his heart.
In any case, he never expected that he would take over such a hot position. Since he had served as an auxiliary military attache for a long time, Anami's career was closely related to Hirohito's respect.
The counterattack on the East Asian continent and the subsequent air raid plan were a plan that Hirohito and his ministers came up with. They needed to find a loyal person to lead the Army Air Force, so they sent Anami, who had returned to the new capital to report on his duties, from the 10th Army Air Force.
He was transferred from the position of Commander of the Eighth Army, and after being promoted to general, he was appointed as Director of Army Aviation.
At first, Anan was extremely grateful, thinking that this was the emperor's trust in him. Only now did he realize how difficult this position was.
If you follow a long-sighted officer like Ishihara Kanji, the Army Aviation Director is naturally a plus or minus. Ishihara Kanji likes to consider the gains and losses and analyze the pros and cons during wars. He is like a businessman who must compare every penny. He will never make a loss-making business. Unfortunately, the current Army
The chief of staff was Hideki Tojo, known as the "Emperor's loyal dog". He always carried out Hirohito's orders meticulously, even if he couldn't do it, he had to do it with all his strength. The result was disastrous defeats again and again.

ps: Ah, August is over like this, I really look forward to good luck in September!
By the way, on the first day of the month, the emperor sincerely begs for a guaranteed monthly ticket for September!
