Chapter 1861 Wavell Cuts the Way

As the most scarce resource of the Second Expeditionary Army, the Second Special Artillery Regiment was directly commanded by Huang Hua.If the Joint Command wants to call, Huang Haifu and Hua Laifu need to sign the order together.Hua Laifu nodded and said: "The Japanese air force that attacked us today should be an elite force. I support your decision!"

Huang Haifu: "Then I will draw up the order." He sat on a chair made of ammunition boxes, picked up a pen and wrote the order on the order note, and said: "Xue Debing and the others should have detected the Japanese forward. I don’t know if its main force will have the guts to continue the attack tomorrow!”

Hua Laifu laughed: "Are you afraid that there will be no battle? Don't worry, the Japanese army launched such a violent air strike, and it shouldn't be anticlimactic."

"I wish!"

The Xuebing Army launched the "sinking" operation. The three aviation regiments of the Guangzhou Aviation Corps, the South Zhejiang Aviation Corps, and the Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps traveled more than [-] kilometers to attack Japan's Kyushu Island and completely destroyed the two important military ports of Nagasaki and Sasebo. After the news was disclosed by the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army and appeared in the newspapers, the people in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Army rushed to tell the news. All the soldiers and civilians fell into great joy, and the morale of the people was once again united.

Ryoko Takahashi didn't know the news until a little later, and the Japanese woman didn't understand the purpose of those batches of fighter planes flying east that she saw during the day until now.Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the Guangzhou Branch of the Anti-War Alliance, listening to the cheers coming from the street, she looked to the east, and yearning for her homeland surged in her heart, and she couldn't help murmuring: "School soldiers dare to fight in the daytime." The air raid on Kyushu is over, is this war coming to an end?"

The Xuebing Army suddenly dispatched an unprecedented air force to attack the Japanese mainland, which shocked too many people.

After the Americans, the British also received relevant intelligence.In London, including British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, British military and political officials thought this was a sign that the Xuebing Army was about to launch a counterattack, thinking that this move of the Xuebing Army would inevitably lead the main force of the Japanese army to the east, and that the Indian and British troops would inevitably be under great pressure So a series of telegrams were sent to Wavell, instructing him on what to do. The central meaning was that this was a great opportunity for the British army in the Far East to launch a counterattack, and it should be grasped well.

In this regard, Wavell knew it bitterly, and he could only follow orders while being dumbfounded. So that night, he intercepted Ouyang Yun in the small Indian town of Varashina.

Since the defeat at the Battle of Humble, Wavell's life has been quite difficult.After this battle, the heavily damaged British army no longer had the capital to fight positional warfare or even a major battle with the Japanese army, so they had to abandon a large defensive position north of Pyay and turned to the India-Myanmar border for a strategic retreat.

The British agreed to lease Karachi to the cadet army. On the one hand, it was because of the pressure from the US government, and on the other hand, because their Far East Air Force was completely lost and they urgently needed to replenish fighter jets. An opportunity to buy fighter planes from the student army.

Today, the two iconic fighters of the Xuebing Army, the Baiji and the Sky Fortress, have already entered the ranks of the first-line main fighters.However, it stems from deep-rooted traditional concepts, including Americans. Although they appreciate these two fighters from a professional perspective, they do not think that Baiji and Sky Fortress are the most advanced.In the words of some so-called professionals—China is so poor and backward, why can they develop advanced fighter jets far exceeding the world average in such a short period of time?Wavell is a member of this concept, so he was initially willing to reach an agreement with the cadet army to purchase fighters, and his purpose was just for emergency.

It's different now.

The Xuebing Army dared to launch air strikes on two important Japanese military ports at the same time during the day. It must have come from their confidence in the powerful performance of their own fighters, and they were not afraid of Japanese retaliation.

Wavell rushed to Varasina in a Great Wall off-road vehicle of the Xuebing Army.During that meeting in Bangkok, Wavell and Ouyang Yun reached many agreements, among which was the purchase of fifty Great Wall brand armed off-road vehicles.It has been a while since fifty Great Wall off-road vehicles were handed over to the British army, but it was the first time for Wavell to ride for a long time.The longer the riding time, the more he felt the superior off-road performance of the Great Wall off-road vehicle, so he said with emotion: "It was my mistake. The Xuebing Army can even manufacture such an advanced car, so why? Why can’t we create a fighter with superior performance?”

Successive defeats in the frontline wars and a large number of colonies were captured by the Japanese army, which made it difficult for Wavell to maintain his usual arrogant attitude. When we met Ouyang Yun again, the British old man's attitude was that gentleman, which made Xin Bao, who had seen him in Bangkok, feel in private. Can't help saying strange words again and again: Strange, the old British man is so polite now.

In Ouyang Yun's itinerary, there is a setting to meet with Wavell and sign the terms of renting Karachi.He was not surprised that the old British man stopped the road in the middle of the night. The situation in the India-Myanmar war was so rotten that it was no wonder that the British were not impatient.

After the brief greetings, the old British man didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the main purpose of his trip, summed up in one sentence: "Fighters, fighters, we urgently need your fighters!"

The British old man looked impatient and angry, Ouyang Yun's expression became more and more calm, and many difficulties were casually mentioned: We only have two production lines for fighter jets, and the production capacity can only meet the demand; our non-ferrous metal production is limited, and our fuel reserves are insufficient... Summary It's just a sentence: I understand your urgency, but our student army is only so capable, so I can't help you.

If Ouyang Yun had such an attitude during the meeting in Bangkok, the old British man would definitely slap the table and get out of the way.But from time to time, even though the British old man was furious, he could only suppress it, and said in a soothing tone as much as possible: "But I heard that Emboss bought a large number of fighter planes from your army, Commander Ouyang, can you fight?" Let’s discuss, sell those fighter planes to us first. If you are having trouble opening your mouth, let us come forward to discuss with Emboss.”

"But among that batch of fighters, quite a few are old fighters, are you sure?"

Wavell also heard about the fact that the French Restoration Army purchased a large number of fighter planes from the Xuebing Army, and he didn't know the truth. If he knew that the so-called old fighter planes that Ouyang Yun said were actually early Baiji models, he would probably be unreasonable. He hesitated to agree.The problem is that he doesn't know, so he hesitated immediately after Ouyang Yun said this.Then, he took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind, stared into Ouyang Yun's eyes and said, "Your Excellency, we really need a batch of fighter planes to maintain the battle. You can make a condition, as long as we have the ability to do it, We definitely accept it."

"Huh?" Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes, and the word "Hong Kong" immediately came to mind.It was a great temptation, but he thought about it again, the Japanese would definitely attack Hong Kong next, and he would just attack them at that time, there was no need to waste such an opportunity to exploit the British, so he said: "You misunderstood me, I really can't help it. Well, just wait a moment, Tassel!"

"Brother?" Bai Liusu looked at her in response.

"You send a telegram back to Guangzhou to ask if we can spare a few baiji recently!"

"Ok."

Wavell couldn't understand Chinese, so he hurriedly asked the translator next to him.Then, after listening to the translation, the old man almost went crazy when he heard "several baiji dolphins".

"Fifty, please support us at least fifty!" He said to Ouyang Yun, his face flushed.
