The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 241 Killing Intent Surges

Nanjing.In the command hall of the exercise director's department, a combat staff officer with an obviously inclined attitude shouted loudly: "The red team successfully discovered and thwarted an operation by the blue team to break through the barrier with a sea-going ship disguise."

Immediately there was a burst of not-so-warm applause in the hall. Lao Jiang's face looked a little better, and he nodded reservedly, not as gloomy as before.

He also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly exclaimed: "It's so hanging! I almost let that guy succeed." Looking at the detailed report that followed, the two large seagoing ships with thousands of tons are most likely armed belts. For the artillery version, if you break through the defense line of the Jiangyin fortress and reach the upper reaches, you can randomly choose a position that others neglect, cover it with several naval guns, and put down a large number of speedboats to land, you can put down several companies in less than half an hour. At that time, a sudden rear attack will be launched, and the Jiangyin fortress will be in danger!

And once the fortress is lost, several large landing ships can drive straight in. At that time, as long as they transport heavy troops up, the Wufu defense line and Xicheng defense line in the whole concept are all in vain!Attack from both sides, break through easily, and then respond to the land army's strong push all the way, and you can directly hit the city of Nanjing!

What a vicious method!Disguise the plane, disguise the freighter, what will they do next?I hope Gui Yongqing can seize this opportunity and be vigilant!

A group of Germans see it deeper than Lao Jiang.Both Seckett and General Falkenhausen frowned, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.The waterway of the Yangtze River is the most complicated in the world. It is not just that the waterway has not been completely cleared, the width of each section is variable, the water flow is uneven, and accidents are prone to occur if one is not careful.The key point is that the important cities on both sides of the water, such as Wuhan and Chongqing, have concessions, and they are connected with investments and factories from various countries. Ships bearing the signs of various countries are constantly coming and going, and there are even warships from Britain, Japan, etc. Gunboats patrol, the environment is complex, and it is difficult to defend.

In this case, it is normal for the task force to pretend that the freighter has entered, because it is difficult for the defenders to determine its nationality and camp, and this exercise did not completely block the channel—mainly because it cannot be done, then there will be Opportunity to take advantage of!The question is, judging from the report just now, the defenders only "discovered" and did not sink or capture them. Was it intentional by the other side?Not sure, how did you run away?I don't know either!

Gui Yongqing's claws are indeed numb now!Suddenly received the report, at first he couldn't believe it was true, but when he was convinced that the two seagoing ships turned around and fled, he woke up in a cold sweat, and quickly ordered the Jiangfang ships to pursue them, but the speed of the freighter going down the river It's not slow at all, and they carry naval guns. How easy is it to stop them?

He hastily ordered all the ministries along the line to step up their efforts to border the river and the river bank, so as not to give the opponent an opportunity, but at this moment, the front-end air defense police sentry reported that enemy fighter planes had come from the sea!

Contrary to the expectations of most of the observers, the Blue Army did not immediately dispatch fighter planes to fight for air supremacy at the beginning of the exercise, but used various sneaky methods to detect infiltration and test the situation. After only a few tricks, it attracted half of the Red Army. The troops mobilized.The strength of a regiment to guard the [-]-kilometer-wide river defense line is simply too stretched!It's as if you're losing your face, it's just passive coping, and you're the first to lose!

Originally, the focus of the exercise was on a few places, the Wufu line of defense, the Jiangyin fortress, a certain place in Jiangfang and the air.All the troops have been pulled to pieces!Looking at the small groups of troops scattered all over the mountains and plains on the sand table, many anxious observing officers are already shaking their heads. If this goes on like this, they will definitely lose!

Now that the Air Force has finally appeared, what will be the result of the two sides?

舟山基地。十二架p-21a战机在短短3分钟内接连不断的升上天空，爬上3000米高度略加编组，直接朝着江yin方向以360公里的时速突进！这个速度，正好处于zhong yang空军的波音218和霍克3的320-400公里速度之间，算是找个等差。

This kind of take-off speed and formation speed has already amazed the observation group. In their minds, the Chinese Air Force is still in its primitive stage, and it is good to be able to fly in the sky without falling.Including the Japanese Air Force, in their view, they are very immature. The First World War in Shanghai and the First World War on the Great Wall both showed that the two sides did not have a very large number, poor techniques and tactics, and wrong usage.Especially from the perspective of the Germans, why should there be hundreds of fighters scattered?It is better to gather together and cooperate with powerful and fast troops to tear open the battlefield defense line and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop to secure the victory!How can there be random misuse!

The on-site referee team counted by pinching the watch, and there were observers in the air, so they couldn't tell lies.Zhoushan Airport is very narrow, and the planes take off one after another. This speed is already impressive!

In view of the advantages of local operations, it was normal to find fighter planes attacking at sea. Nanjing and Zhenjiang airports responded immediately. Two squadrons of the Zhong Yang Air Force headed by Gao Zhihang took off to meet 18 Hawker IIIs. The two fleets met in the airspace near Wuxi. The twelve fighter planes of the blue army immediately dispersed into two fleets to open up gaps, forcing the two squadrons of the red team to pursue and take care of each other, and the battlefield suddenly expanded.

Hawke's three formations, which could not take advantage of their numbers, immediately showed their disadvantages!It is true that their biplanes turn flexibly and climb quickly, but the horsepower is small, the range is small, the protection is almost non-existent, and there is no radio communication. The open cabin is a great threat to the pilot. The two calibers are 12.7mm and 7.62mm respectively. The opponent's machine gun is even more dwarfed by the opponent's 20mm machine gun.

In terms of technique and tactics, people like Gao Zhihang are already top in the country, even compared with the Japanese Air Force, they are considered excellent, but compared to the trump cards of the special service fleet HNA, they are not a star and a half behind!These guys are all veterans who have passed the assessment in the simulated training center. In their eyes, Hawke III's speed and movements are ridiculously slow!After thousands of hours of running-in on the simulator, the tacit understanding of the two-machine formation has reached an outrageous level!

Relying on their strong physique to fight hard and resist the unreasonable dog fight, the two red squadrons killed more than half of them in less than half an hour!With the exception of Gao Zhihang and a few others who barely fled the battlefield with scars due to their tenacious will and genius skills, the rest were all covered in colorful bullets, and they were hit by countless bullets!

Lao Jiang's face is black again!But this result passed the review of the jury without any problems. The cockpit armor of the p-21a cannot even be pierced by a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. .

However, the fighter planes of the Zhongyang Air Force are all light-weight shrunken versions of the wings, none of which have radios, none of them have bullet seats, none of them have closed cockpits, and none of them have armor... In short, once hit by a 20mm cannon, you will either die or be injured, without exception. !

Lao Jiang is aggrieved!But helpless, in order to ensure the balance of power, he limited the blue army to only dispatch 12 fighters. What about his side? 12 Boeing 218s, 18 Hawker IIIs, and dozens of miscellaneous fighters, including the cr.Four or five times the strength to fight, should be no problem?

But he neglected too many things. It might be possible to pull out fifty or sixty fights, but it is impossible to do it at all, and commanding is a problem!

But there is good news. When the blue army ran out of fuel and ammunition and retreated, they were followed and found the take-off field. It could be an aircraft carrier representing the enemy or an airport by the sea, like the Gongda Spinning Factory during the Battle of Shanghai. Followed by 12 Boeing 218s and a squadron of cr.32s carrying bombs and took off to attack and bomb.This is an important method taught by the German instructors on the mainland and the advisory group. After the war started, find the enemy's airport and aircraft carrier and concentrate the air force to sink it!

The air defense capabilities of all sea ships in this era are not very good, and only the newly built "German-class armored ships" by the Germans and Japan's Miao-class and Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers are equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. It is not systematic, and the bombing of the fleet may not be so easy.

Not long after the p-21a fleet flew back to the Zhoushan base, the shrill air defense siren sounded suddenly!

Residents near the Zhoushan base, including people in the county, knew that the drills were going to happen these days, so they were not surprised when they heard the movement. What to do, or simply stop to watch the fun, but it scared a few people in the fishing port A big jump!

On a small fishing boat with the most ordinary appearance, a few short men dressed as fishermen jumped up reflexively, reaching out to touch the guns in the mezzanine of the cabin, the leader turned his head and shouted in broken Chinese: "Asshole! This is a military exercise, why are you panicking?!"

Looking up, it was the long-lost Takashi Tanaka!

At this time, where is Nakasa Tanaka still as strong as he was two years ago?He was dark and thin, with an unshaven beard. If it wasn't for the hostility on his face, he couldn't hide it. When he grinned and smiled with yellow teeth, he was really not much different from a local fisherman.

To come here to investigate, Tanaka Longji took a great risk.But he has no other choice. The "Zhu Organ" has been established for more than a year and has not achieved an inch. The unprecedented big action of the empire is imminent. If he still can't seize the opportunity, he can only get out of here in despair That's it.

How could the arrogant Tanaka accept such a failure?Gritting his teeth, he decided to do it himself, disguised as a fisherman and embedded himself in Zhoushan Port to investigate the situation.Needless to say, in the past two years he has made up his mind to practice Chinese, and he speaks it in a decent manner. He has no problem fooling ordinary people. He has been here for two days. On the surface, he is a foreign fisherman taking shelter from the wind, surrounded by people like them There are hundreds of ships, a good means of camouflage!

After reprimanding the others, he went out steadily and stood on the deck. Like everyone else, he looked up at the fighter planes flying in the distance, and then glanced at the twin-mounted 305 turrets on the top of the hill. Clenching his short fingers tightly, he felt ruthless in his heart: "Damn Zhu Bin, this time he will be completely wiped out! Wait, wait for the thunder strike!"

A series of radio waves were quickly sent out with the exercise situation shortly afterwards.Thousands of kilometers away, on the sea east of the Ryukyu Islands, the "Kaga" aircraft carrier was accompanied by more than a dozen warships, among which there were four "Takao-class" heavy cruisers that had just been built.

In the flagship command room, Major General Yoshida Zengo stared indifferently at the due west direction, and shouted in a low voice: "Order all, turn!"
