The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 245 The Devil Takes the Bait

The exercise was declared over, and the troops of both sides assembled on the spot and returned to their original stations. The director department and the referee team, as well as the commanders and staff departments of both sides, and other key personnel had to stay and listen to the chairman's instructions and comments from the director department and the advisory group. And to sum up, cutscenes have to be walked.

But the more important program is at the back. There are too many new things on display this time, which is enough to make the representatives of various countries burn with enthusiasm.

Zhu Bin has only one attitude towards this, no matter which party it is from, no matter what background it is from, no matter what request it is, just delay it for me!Wait until the matter with Japan is resolved, and then talk slowly, and the place will not be here---in front of the eyes and ears of so many people in Lao Jiang and Zhong Yang, how can we say too much to make them envious and jealous Hate the deal!

After the last round of air strikes, the formation of fighter planes landed at Zhenjiang Airport to refuel and replenish, but secretly replaced all the ammunition for the exercise with real ones; after the ground troops were assembled, they were loaded on the ship as they were, and after a little repair, they turned around and returned along the river. Everything was arranged as it was at the beginning. The same, there does not seem to be any abnormalities.

When the fleet was approaching Chongming Island, the air force had already arrived in Shanghai, and it would arrive at Zhoushan Airport in less than half an hour.But at this moment, a series of urgent reports came to Zhu Bin's desk continuously.

"Report! The maritime patrol and reconnaissance of the 'Longtan' base found a suspicious Japanese fleet, heading southeast, 80 nautical miles away!"

"Report! The 'Longtan' radar station found a fleet of aircraft in the air, heading southeast, 120 kilometers away!"

"Report! The 'Tiger Cave' radar station found a fleet of aircraft in the air, heading northeast, 150 kilometers away!"

"Report! Qingdao No. [-] found a change in the Japanese army, and an enemy marine brigade began to unload and land!"

"Report!……."

As if a flood had opened, more than a dozen reports came rushing in like snowflakes. In the exercise headquarters that had not yet been fully closed, Zhu Bin opened the map of the country with his hands, and Hu Yibo marked several big red fists on it. Fully launched, multi-channel siege posture!

"Master, what a leg! The little devil is trying to take over our foundation!"

The timing is perfect!It happened to be the return of all members of the exercise force. As soon as the fleet left the Yangtze River Estuary and reached the surface of the East China Sea, it might enter the course of the Japanese fleet. As soon as the fighter planes landed, the opponent's fleet could reach the sky and drop bombs. There was no preparation at all in a hurry. It will definitely be wiped out!The bad thing is that according to the original arrangement, the anti-aircraft weapons are all fakes and can't play a role at all!All senior commanders are in Nanjing, beyond reach... Ri himself has calculated to such an extent, how much manpower and resources have they mobilized? !

If you add the movement in Qingdao, the Third Fleet's bluff for three consecutive days, I'm afraid that the Guzhenkou base will relax its vigilance in theory, and at this time, they made a landing gesture, thinking that they are going to focus on Qingdao, and the center of gravity has shifted. , I never imagined that half an hour later, there would be a huge fleet of aircraft suddenly descending on the top of the head, inflicting a devastating blow!

Hard enough!Enough venomous!Accurate enough!

Zhu Bin was amazed!This is the true demeanor of the Japanese army!Immovable like a mountain, moving like a thunder, make full and meticulous preparations in the early stage, follow up and investigate in the middle stage in detail, until the initiation of the final battle, it will be thunderbolt immediately, decisive and ferocious, the first battle is decisive, and there will be no way out for yourself. Do not give the other party any breathing space!

It has to be said that this set of warlord troops or central yang troops who are hesitant in the face of combat and always expect to preserve their strength or expect external forces to intervene is quite effective!Those people basically couldn't stop such a stormy three axes.

But it's a pity, this time, they found the wrong target, saw the wrong object, and provoked the wrong person!

At this juncture, Zhu Bin actually relaxed. He sat in the grand teacher's chair with his arms folded, stared at the map from a distance, and asked, "Where are Gong Lang and the others?"

Immediately someone called and got feedback: "It has reached the sky above Qingpu."

"Order them to keep their course and make a landing posture after arriving at the Zhoushan base. If the enemy plane is found in advance, they will turn to the Huxue base and lead them to pursue them. The speed should not be too fast, as long as they are not shot down."

"Yes!" The play has to be a full set, since Ri himself likes to play tricks, then play with them first, at least let them feel that there is a chance to be sweet, before proceeding to the next big scene!

"When the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Huangpu River, it made a gesture of turning in for repairs. If any Japanese ships blocked it, it would immediately turn to the sea and head north at full speed!"

"Additionally notify 'Tiger's Den' and activate 'Mirage'!"

"Yes!"

Hu Yibo and Cao Han were a little dumbfounded. The things in front were normal, but what was this "mirage" behind?I understand the literal meaning, and know that it is a natural phenomenon, but I have never heard that there is any way to "activate". Could it be that at the "Tiger's Den", an unknown coping strategy has been prepared? !

Do not understand!

Several high-level executives couldn't help sighing secretly. The longer I worked with Zhu Bin, the more I felt that this guy always had more new things to dig out. No matter what kind of crisis he encountered, he had a way to deal with it calmly. Once, the Japanese army put on such a huge formation, two fleets, two fleets, and two directions at the same time. Ordinary people would have been dumbfounded. He dared to play. He was either short-sighted or had strong confidence!

Forget it, let's see if we can really save the day this time, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull will be wiped out!

In Zhoushan Fishing Port, Takashi Tanaka sat cross-legged on the bow calmly, looking at the sky lazily and seemingly leisurely, but in fact his heart was already messed up like a cat's paw, and he wanted to jump up several times to let the people below sail away from this place.

The empire's fighter planes are about to fly over, and within two hours, the empire's powerful warships will also arrive nearby. At that time, a blow like a storm will hit this base, and everything will be blown to pieces Annihilated, torn to shreds!Staying here is absolutely dangerous!As long as a cannonball is fired, a shuttle bullet is slanted, and the few of them can "serve the country with seven lives".

"Director! Can we...can we retreat now?!"

After all, his subordinates are not as good-looking as he is. He suggested softly, and at the same time looked up at the sky in fear. He wished he could grow two telescopes and see the sky hundreds of miles away.

Takashi Tanaka shouted with a stern face: "Bastard! I'm not afraid, what are you worried about?! The empire's fighter planes and naval artillery strikes will be very accurate, and we will never be accidentally injured! Continue to observe carefully and make sure the last moment No problems at all!"

"Hi! Yes! Yes!"

The subordinate retracted his head with a bitter face, and he was already cursing in his heart, how can there be such a commander who is willing to die for meritorious service?Obviously he has done well enough, so what if he waits?

But Longji Tanaka has difficulties that they can't tell!He has lost three times in a row on Zhu Bin, and each time is worse than the last. He has to make sure that he is safe this time in order to make up for his previous crimes.

Why is he not afraid?But that doesn't solve anything, wait, wait, wait....

Another full 10 minutes later, the subordinate who shrank in the cabin and looked at the sky through the telescope suddenly called out, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff! The China fighter plane has returned!"

As soon as the words fell, the shrill alarm sounded from Zhoushan Island again!The people in Dinghai County and the two major ports who have been listening to it for three days are used to it, and they do everything except feel a little harsh and disturbing.

But this time is obviously different. With the sound of the alarm, the county magistrate and the security team shouted solemnly and urgently from the loudspeakers all over the county and every corner of the town: "Fathers and folks! This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill! There are really enemy planes coming to bomb! Hurry up and hide!"

The whole Zhoushan Island exploded!People on the street ran to the nearest air defense fortification, people in the countryside went to the cellar, the ships in the port were busy setting fire and raising their sails to prepare to escape, the security team and the garrison in the barracks ran out to direct the evacuation and prepare for air defense operations. The scene is like facing the enemy!

"Hahaha! The alarm was issued at this time, it's too late! Damn China pigs, all go to hell!" Longji Tanaka laughed happily, and waved his hand vigorously, "Let's go!"

The impatient subordinates who had been waiting for a long time untied the cables in a hurry, started the small steamer disguised as a fishing boat, and rushed out of the fishing port first, heading towards Mount Putuo.

In a room on the pier less than 200 meters away from them, several plainclothes stalkers put away their binoculars, and the leader was Hu Sheng.A young inner guard murmured unhappily: "Boss Tiger! Why did you let these devils leave safely? Just take them down and torture them to find out why!"

Hu Sheng bared his big white teeth and grinned, and muttered in a low voice, "I want to obey orders! Boss Zhu said it's still useful to keep him, and put a long line to catch big fish, or I'll screw his head off already! Well, I'm going to do it soon!" There is a blow coming, hurry up and tell me!"

He left in a hurry with a group of people, and rushed to the direction of Mount Putuo by land.

In the sky, Gong Lang led the fighter group just arrived over the Zhoushan Islands, listening to the position and distance of the enemy aircraft group reported by the ground radar station in his ears.

"...Attention! Attention! The enemy plane has entered the 15-kilometer danger zone, the number is 56, approach the enemy carefully!"

Gong Lang shouted through the radio: "Be careful, there are four times as many Firebirds flying here, enter the dangerous airspace immediately, and maintain a formation posture!"

The entire formation changed their landing posture in unison, and quickly rose from a height of 1000 meters to 3000 meters. Only 1 minute later, a group of fighter planes emerged from the clouds directly in front of them, screaming strangely at a maximum speed of 360 kilometers per hour. Pounce head on!

"Attention all! After a long shot, immediately separate into groups and escape according to the plan!" Gong Lang calmly issued an order, urging the fighters to go up first!

The distance of fifteen kilometers is only one minute to face each other at a combined speed of 800 kilometers per hour. Both sides are full of confidence. After a few breaths, they enter less than five kilometers. The p1a fleet with 20mm machine guns Fire first, and each of the two guns erupted with flashing fire chains and swept out. In a blink of an eye, a series of colorful light mist burst out from the fuselage on the opposite side!

The terrified Japanese pilot thought he was doomed, but when he took a closer look, it turned out that he was intact, but he was besieged by a large group of colored fans, and immediately screamed excitedly: "Hahaha! They really have no ammunition! Let's kill them all together! "

After seeing the truth together, Riji's confidence soared, and they surrounded him like crazy!

Gong Lang calmly shouted: "The turkey is on the bait! Everyone breaks out!" He suddenly urged the fighter plane to accelerate to a speed of 380 kilometers per hour, swung the fuselage to avoid the dense rain of bullets, and pierced through the first wave of Japanese troops with a roar The fleet turned around and headed northeast, "fleeing!"

Playing a full set, in order to ensure that the other party was duped seriously, the twelve fighters each fired a longer drill and were forced to break out of the encirclement. They were inevitably hit and fired by the 7.7mm heavy machine guns of the Japanese aircraft. Unlucky, three or four were spotted together, seven or eight shots were shot in the blink of an eye, the fuel tank was damaged when the wing was shot, and the black smoke seemed to be finished at any time!

This kind of victory made the Japanese military fleet even more crazy. They used the flexibility and high climbing speed of the biplane fighters to turn around and chase after each other. At a distance of less than 5 kilometers behind the opponent's butt, they increased the power of the engine to the maximum. Stitched their tails!

More than 30 Japanese A3N1 Type 18 fighters chased after them, while [-] fighters from the other two squadrons lowered their heads and swooped down, first dropping two bombs towards the base and airport below, and then sweeping at low altitude.

The anti-aircraft artillery fire below began to counterattack, probably because the exercise had just ended, and the exercise bombs had not had time to be replaced. "Boom boom boom" exploded into pieces of colorful light clouds in the sky, but no shrapnel hurt the enemy plane. , The same is true for the subsequent explosion of anti-aircraft machine guns. Obviously everything is as the intelligence said, and the opponent was caught off guard!

"Boom! Boom!" On the ground, 50 kg aerial bombs fell one after another, and groups of violently churning flames rose, and large areas of buildings were blown to pieces. ah!

60 nautical miles away, a fleet of more than a dozen warships of various types is heading towards the Zhoushan Islands. In the "Kaga Aircraft Carrier" where the flagship is temporarily seated, the captain Okada Kazuo praised with a look of reverence: "Commander Your Excellency is indeed exhaustive! China’s air force and air defense forces have no live ammunition, and can only be attacked and wiped out by our fighters!"

Major General Yoshida Zengo tried his best to keep calm, with an understatement on his face, and said in a majestic voice: "We should express our appreciation for the work of the intelligence agencies. Without their efforts, there would be no success in this sudden battle!"

"Hi! Your Excellency the Commander is right. Then, can we send out a second wave of fighters?"

Yoshida Zengo pretended to think about it deeply, and nodded: "Okay! The opportunity is rare, so we must defeat them as much as possible! Order the fleet to dispatch, and the fleet will move forward at full speed!"

On the "Kaga", another 20 fighter jets took off immediately. In addition, a total of 12 carrier-based planes on the other four "Kaohsiung-class" heavy cruisers also took off one after another, and they will form a second wave of aircraft to go straight to the Zhoushan base. !And the entire fleet also galloped at full speed, heading straight to Zhoushan at a speed of 35 knots!It is estimated that in one and a half hours, you will be able to enter the attack range of the naval gun!

At the Nanjing headquarters, Zhu Bin looked at the report and said with a serious smile: "The little devil has finally taken the bait!"
