Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 575 Type 98 Bomber
"No problem!" Sun Erwei nodded: "It's not difficult, we have many factories in Asan, and I can ask them to provide it!"

At this time, Ah San can be said to be a foundry of Ying Jiang and Sun Never Set.

As for the colonies, they will definitely be crazily exploited by the big powers during the war... Asan has a lot of cheap labor, and its geographical location is close to China and Africa. Whether it is aiding China or the North African battlefield where the sun never sets, most of the strategic materials are actually provided by India.

(Note: Another kangaroo that provides strategic supplies for the never-setting sun as a colony)

Wang Xuexin added: "I hope this is a loan from the independent group or myself, I don't know..."

"No problem!" Sun Erwei agreed without thinking about it: "One set is only two thousand dollars, and ten sets is only twenty thousand dollars. I don't think they will have any objections. I'll discuss it with them. Maybe it can be used as a gift." your present!"

This price surprised Wang Xuexin.

But after thinking about it, more than 2000 US dollars in this era is actually not a small amount, and it is a second-hand loom bought from Ah Sana.

It's just that the munitions I've talked with Ying Jiang during this period are tens of millions, and it feels like it's less if it becomes thousands of dollars.

"Thank you so much!" Wang Xuexin said, secretly thinking that if he knew it was so cheap, he should use the funds in his account to buy more.

But having said that, if you ask for more, there may be no such thing as a "gift".

When Wang Xuexin was busy, Neji Okamura was not idle either.

Okamura Ningji looked at the Nakajo Mountain on the map with a cold gaze, feeling that the Nakajo Mountain facing him was like a spike, which made him restless.

Several times he wanted to desperately send troops to fight, but in the end he suppressed the impulse.

He analyzed it with Yoshio Shinozuka in this way: "The Eighth Route Army is good at fighting in the mountains, so even though we attacked from the south of Zhongtiao Mountain, we still inevitably fell into rubber combat. However, our supplies cannot support the war of large troops, so ..."

Yoshio Shinozuka had no doubts about this.

At this time, the imperial army was blooming everywhere, and supplies were so scarce that even he, the commander of the first army, could only eat canned food.

"Your Excellency General, you mean..." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Shall we prepare for a while longer?"

Neiji Okamura shook his head, then threw a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, saying, "We may not be able to wait any longer!"

Yoshio Shinozuka took the telegram and saw that it was the information that the Eighth Route Army had received a large amount of food from the recalcitrant army.

Yoshio Shinozuka was a little strange. The stubborn army has always been at odds with the Eighth Route Army and has not provided supplies to the Eighth Route Army for a long time. Why is there such a move now?
What made Shinozuka Yoshio even more puzzled was that the stubborn army provided food for the Eighth Route Army. Why did Neji Okamura feel that he could not wait any longer?
Neiji Okamura seemed to have seen through Yoshio Shinozuka's doubts, and explained: "According to unreliable information, this was arranged by Taka-chan!"

Shinozuka Yoshio let out a "huh", then gritted his teeth and scolded: "Bastard, is Taka-chan trying to unite these two armies? This is whimsical!"

"Xiaozuka-kun!" Neiji Okamura shook his head and said, "We can't underestimate the enemy. In the past, the possibility of uniting the stubborn army and the Eighth Route Army might not be great. But now... the stubborn army is confronting our army on the south bank of the Yellow River. , The more active the Eighth Route Army is on the north bank of the Yellow River, the safer the recalcitrant army is! They have common interests and a reason to unite."

Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly realized.

The situation is indeed as Neiji Okamura said, there is a reason for the stubborn army and the Eighth Route Army to unite.

Moreover, Yingjiang also hopes that the stubborn army can unite with the Eighth Route Army out of its own interests. This is not what the empire wants to see, so Okamura Ningji is eager to take Zhongtiao Mountain...

Otherwise, the stubborn army can give the Eighth Route Army food today, and the stubborn army can give the Eighth Route Army ammunition and even equipment tomorrow.

The fighting will and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army are higher than that of the recalcitrant army. What they lack is equipment.

If the Eighth Route Army can obtain a large amount of equipment from the stubborn army... Zhongtiao Mountain will become more and more difficult to attack, and it is only a matter of time before the imperial army withdraws from the north bank of the Yellow River.

After thinking for a while, Yoshio Shinozuka said in embarrassment: "But Your Excellency, since it is not feasible to attack only from the south, do we have other methods? Attack from the north?"

Flanking from the north is a tactic that has been denied.

The reason is that the Imperial Army is afraid of the T34 tanks in the hands of the Eighth Route Army... Although the Eighth Route Army does not have many T34s, only ten, this kind of tank is almost invincible in front of the Imperial tanks. The "one style" that comes is sent up.

"We need planes!" Okamura said.

Airplanes are indeed a good way, because in this way, the advantages of aircraft against tanks and tanks against infantry can be formed, so the war will become much simpler.

"But...we don't have a plane!"

At this time, the North China Front Army was short of ammunition and gasoline, let alone aircraft.

"No, we have!" Neiji Okamura pointed to Hong Kong on the map and said, "The 45th Flying Battalion has completed its attack on Hong Kong. I have contacted Captain Maruyama and hope they can come to support us!"

"At this time..." Shinozuka Yoshio was still a little worried.

Because at this time the Imperial Army needs aircraft more than ever, even though the 45th Squadron has completed the task of capturing Hong Kong.

But Yoshio Shinozuka still underestimated Ningji Okamura.

There is a reason why Okamura Ningji took a fancy to the 45th team. He had done enough intelligence before that and knew that most of the 45th team's models were backward Type 98 light bombers.

Type 98 light bomber, also known as KI-32.

Because the engine of this bomber is water-cooled, it is quite troublesome to use, so it has already lost in the competition of the Type 97 bomber. (Note: Type 97 bomber is air-cooled)

However, this fighter, which was eliminated and should not exist, was put into production together with its competitors because of the urgent need for fighters due to the outbreak of the war of aggression against China.

Just as everyone predicted, this kind of water-cooled engine is not ideal because of the need for "water cooling", so the ammunition capacity and range are not ideal. The superiors have planned to withdraw all of them to the country as trainers.

(Note: The attack on Hong Kong in history was the last time this fighter participated in actual combat, and then completely faded out of the front line as a trainer)

Under such circumstances, what if the North China Front urgently needs the support of these fighter planes, and at the same time Captain Maruyama is eager to fight the last battle?

This is why Okamura Ningji directly contacted Captain Maruyama instead of contacting his superiors.

Neiji Okamura is very clear that the imperial army encourages soldiers to take the initiative to fight with courage.

So even if they didn't support the battle, they did because of the courage of the soldiers.

For the top management, this is a kind of spirit, a kind of spirit that can stimulate the morale of the whole army, and they will not give up this opportunity of publicity easily.
