Chapter 360 Prelude to the General Attack
In May of 1941, more than [-] troops from China and Japan were slaughtered in Zhongtiao Mountain, but the United States on the other side of the world was peaceful through singing and dancing.

On a sunny morning, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then President of the United States, was sitting on the lawn quietly basking in the rising sun. A tall, elegant woman with short blond hair was accompanying him Next to him, this woman is his lover and secretary, Missy Lehand.

Roosevelt closed the newspaper, handed it to Missy, and said, "Look, the Japanese and the Chinese are fighting again in Zhongtiao Mountain. Can't these two countries calm down?"

Missy put the newspaper in the back pocket of the wheelchair and replied with a smile: "Mr. President, I don't care whether these two countries are fighting. I only know that you have been basking in the sun for half an hour. Stay in Lawns can take a toll on your skin."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Roosevelt laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the dignified president of the United States of America can't even decide the time to bask in the sun."

Missy ignored Roosevelt's complaints, and pushed the wheelchair towards the office not far away, "If you have any problems with me, you can change to a secretary."

"That's impossible. Without you, what's the point of being the president?"

The two came to the office while flirting, and his presidential advisers Harry Hopkins, Samuel Rosenman and Robert Sherwood were already waiting inside.

Seeing Roosevelt coming in, all three stood up and greeted him.

"Everyone, sit down."

Roosevelt waved his hand to signal the three to sit down, then turned his head and said, "Dear Missy, can you give us each a cup of coffee, please?"

"of course can."

Missy twisted her sexy waist and walked out.

Roosevelt watched her leave, and after closing the door, he turned his head back and looked at the three of them, "Everyone, you didn't come here early in the morning to have breakfast with me, did you?"

"Of course not, Mr. President."

Harry stood up, took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Roosevelt, "Mr. President, this is news from China. I think you'd better read it."

After Roosevelt took the folder, he took the glasses from the side and put them on before reading.

After a while, he put down the folder and became serious: "Harry, is the authenticity of this information reliable?"

"I think the reliability is at least 80.00%. After all, Mr. Gao Si (the US ambassador to China) will not and does not have the guts to deceive us with this kind of fake news. It will not do him any good!"

"If that's the case, there's a serious problem."

Roosevelt took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, his complexion became particularly gloomy: "I never thought that a small local armed force in China would be equipped with fighter jets that the United States of America has not mass-produced yet, who can tell me what's going on? Could it be that the Chinese stole our fighter blueprints?"

"This is the problem." Harry smiled wryly, spreading his hands together: "But everyone knows that this is impossible. With China's industrial strength, let alone stealing our blueprints and imitating them, even if we Give them the aircraft parts, whether they can assemble them by themselves is still unknown."

Samuel and Robert on the side also showed distressed expressions, wanting to accuse the Chinese of stealing advanced American aircraft design drawings and producing them themselves. I am afraid that even the Americans themselves do not believe this sentence. It is as absurd to build an aircraft carrier yourself after drawing the aircraft carrier blueprint.

"That's because someone within us sold planes to Huaxia privately... Uh... I didn't say anything." Speaking of the general, Roosevelt also came to his senses, how could a plane that had just been tested and not even mass-produced by the United States itself be so big? Sell ​​to Chinese people in bulk.

"Mr. President, do you think there is such a possibility." Robert, who was sitting on the other side, tentatively said, "Other countries stole our blueprints and gave them to the local warlord named Gao Hongming after they were manufactured."

"It's not very likely." Samuel shook his head. "There are only a few countries in the world that can manufacture airplanes. Germany has broken off diplomatic relations with China. The United Kingdom is too busy to take care of itself. The Soviet Union is now busy dealing with the Germans. How can they have time to specialize?" Open up an aircraft production line for the Chinese people."

"Yes!"

Just as everyone sighed softly, the door of the office was opened. Missy walked in with a tray, handed everyone a cup of coffee, and then walked out lightly.

After taking a sip of coffee, Roosevelt said domineeringly: "Actually, in my opinion, there is no need to make it so complicated. We just send someone to find him. I don't believe there is anyone in China who would dare to refuse the inquiry of the great United States of America. "

After hearing the words, several staff members also expressed their approval. There are indeed countries in this world that have the guts not to give face to the United States, but they definitely do not include China...

Bullets flew all over the sky and roared over Gaojiazhuang. Dozens of B-25 bombers and Stuka dive bombers covered the entire sky. Bombs fell in clusters on the positions of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army. Destroying the entire division, almost the second day after the 215th regiment attacked Yangping Town and was wiped out by the entire army, the 33rd suffered the most intensive bombing and shelling in history.

As the ground shook for a while, soil particles and gravels fell from the side walls of the front trenches, and the gravels fell on the helmets, making a light and crisp metal knocking sound. The officers and soldiers squatting in the trenches looked up to the sky and saw A dozen twin-engine B-25 bombers pass overhead.

Wu Chengfeng, who was patrolling in the trench, looked at the huge puff of smoke rising into the air in the distance, and knew that it was the dust and smoke from the explosion of the 250 kg aerial bomb. The Air Force dropped at least hundreds of tons of heavy aerial bombs here.

Attack against attack, this is the decision made by Gao Hongming, Brigadier Chen, and Tang Huaiyuan.

Instead of allowing the Japanese army to take turns attacking and destroying each of the three sides, it is better to take advantage of the time when the Japanese army aviation unit has been severely damaged and cannot deploy troops to support Zhongtiao Mountain for a while, and concentrate its superior forces to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. The best way to launch a counterattack The location is naturally Yangping Town with open terrain.

Stretching out his head and looking forward, Wu Chengfeng only felt his whole body was boiling with excitement, and a great joy was born in his heart. He heard the symphonic explosion sound from the Japanese army camp, and looked at the black smoke when the bomb exploded on the Japanese army camp. With the flames, he felt as if he was in a sea of ​​​​heat waves, his body was a little bumpy, and his heart was beating violently. The intensive bombing and shelling were the prelude to the general offensive.
