Rise from the sword

Chapter 500 Armored Company, Attack!

"Airdrop supplies?"

Hearing Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao's request, Huang Quan, the captain of the flying brigade, frowned.

"Correct."

Li Yunlong took out a map, pointed to the combat locations of the first battalion and the second battalion and continued:
"Can these two places be done?"

Taking the map and looking at the two points drawn on it, Huang Quan fell into deep thought.

After a few days of familiarization, he has initially mastered the two new aircrafts, and also figured out the performance of the aircraft.

The aircraft equipped by the Independent Regiment, whether they are attack aircraft or fighter jets, are the most advanced and well-manufactured aircraft he has ever seen. The engines, fuel systems, and electrical systems are all top-notch.

Even the design concept wowed him.

fighter.

Designed with low altitude and high horsepower, the speed and maneuverability are greatly enhanced. Under 6000 meters, both acceleration and roll are excellent, especially the acceleration, which is better than the strongest aircraft he knows in Britain, the United States and Germany. many.

Give him a month to familiarize himself with it, and he is sure to fly this fighter to fight against all active fighters of various countries at low and medium altitudes.

But high-altitude is not enough, this fighter is obviously not a high-altitude type.

attack aircraft.

It is designed with high horsepower, high defense, straight wings, and multiple speedbrakes. It can not only dive bomb, but also low-altitude horizontal bombing. One aircraft is multi-purpose, with a large ammunition load, high armor and damage resistance. Highly efficient air-cooled engine, the survival rate of pilots on the battlefield is extremely high.

Airdropping materials, although there is no dedicated transport plane, it is also very simple to use an attack plane to airdrop, the only problem is...
"The principle of using fighter jets to mount airdrop supplies is no problem."

"but."

Huang Quan paused before saying:

"We only have parachutes used by pilots, and there is no special material airdrop parachute, and the airdrop material will affect the stability of the aircraft. When airdropping materials, it must be maintained at more than 130 kilometers to ensure the stability of the aircraft."

"This speed airdrops, the supplies may..."

At a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour and dropped from a height of tens of meters, the shells can be broken even on dirt ground.

"Will it work if you wrap it in quilt cotton and bundle it into a shape with low wind resistance?"

Li Yunlong said.

The first and second battalions needed shells and mortar shells most. Under the siege of the devils, the more shells, the fewer casualties.

Boss Chen provided it for free. There are more independent regiments of cotton and cotton cloth. With the quilt factory in the headquarters, more than a dozen quilt factories in the base area, and the mobilization of women comrades to start work together, almost all the soldiers in the army and all the people in the base area are now Sleep on a warm new quilt.

"Even if only half of the supplies are intact, it's worth it."

Li Yunlong finally added.

"I'll give it a try."

Huang Quan nodded.

The task is arduous and there are many difficulties, but as long as you think carefully, you can always come up with a solution to the problem.Moreover, the Independent Regiment had plenty of supplies, so he had plenty of time and opportunity to experiment again and again.

Li Yunlong left after arranging the supplies, and Huang Quan immediately organized troops to start testing.

······
The war was overcast, and the devil could clearly feel that the date was approaching.

Yamamoto immediately ordered the frontline positions to speed up the excavation of the positions.

February [-]th.

Inside the Ping'an County Headquarters.

"airplane."

Looking at the news sent back by the intelligence personnel lurking in Heyuan County, Yamamoto's tone was a little surprised, but it was only a little surprised.

Does the independent group finally have a plane?
That Chen Fan would provide Li Yunlong with the plane, Yamamoto had expected it a long time ago, and he had already made mental preparations, so when he saw this information, he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart.

Anyway, the imperial army in Ping'an County is at a disadvantage in all aspects of weaponry, and the opponent has a plane.

"How many?"

But Yamamoto went on to ask:
"Can you know the exact model?"

"I don't know."

The devil who came to report shook his head:
"The Independent Regiment Airfield is near the industrial area, where there are a large number of guards, and the aircraft training area is blocked by a large number of troops. Several intelligence personnel were arrested for using binoculars."

"Ah."

Yamamoto nodded silently, no surprises.

He and the First Army sent a large number of imperial intelligence personnel to infiltrate into the Zhaojiayu base area, and they could quickly get news inside. However, the opponent's anti-infiltration has also been strengthening, and imperial intelligence personnel were arrested from time to time.

"but."

The reporting devil paused, and then said:

"Although the size of the airport is large, the actual number of aircraft is not large. According to analysis, there are only five to seven aircraft at most, and they are repeatedly practicing low-altitude parallel bombing."

"Parallel bombing at low altitude?"

Yamamoto was taken aback.

This news was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Nowadays, the best offensive method for fighter planes is to dive and drop bombs. The low-altitude parallel hit rate is too low, too many factors are uncontrollable, and parallel attacks are very easy to be concentrated by anti-aircraft fire.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto's mouth suddenly twitched.

At this moment, he remembered that the only anti-aircraft weapons in his garrison around Ping'an County were the large-caliber heavy machine guns captured by the Independent Regiment by luck, and they did not bring anti-aircraft tripods.

"We didn't hear the explosion, and we also sent people to sneak into the training ground to check, and found no trace of the explosion. It is speculated that it was a practice bomb."

The reporting devil continued.

It is reasonable to use practice ammunition to train, this is not intelligence, but an attempt, but facing the independent regiment that can waste [-] rounds of shells a day, it does not seem to be common sense.

"Practice?"

Yamamoto muttered to himself.

The news gathered here all pointed to the lack of independent regiment aircraft, insufficient technology, and insufficient bombs. They all started to use practice bombs for training.But based on the previous painful lessons, he did not directly draw conclusions.

"Order the front-line troops, pay attention to...strengthen the defense against air attacks."

When this order was issued, Yamamoto's tone was somewhat helpless.

The war was imminent, and the independent regiment suddenly took out seven planes, which really made him helpless. Generally speaking, the air defense positions should be strengthened, but he really has no air defense weapons.

Not a single anti-aircraft machine gun nor anti-aircraft artillery was allocated to him by the Empire.

······
February seven.

Heyuan County.

Amidst the hissing sound, the ten-wheel truck slowly stopped outside the airport. Three young men in leather clothes got off the truck and looked at the Heyuan County Airport in the distance. Outside the truck, Huang Quan, the captain of the independent flight team, was already waiting .

"Ha ha···"

Seeing someone coming, Huang Quan stretched out his hand to greet him.

The three people in front of him are his friends, they are also overseas Chinese, and all of them are master fighter pilots.

The kind with rich practical experience.

These people originally planned to return to China to join the national air force, but they were recruited by him. Under his guarantee, they entered the frontline troops directly without going through much review.

"This····"

The three people who just got out of the car suddenly stared at the airport in front of them with wide eyes.

At this moment, seven fighter planes were parked on the flat runway, and one plane was parked in each of the dozens of hangars that were opened.

"Why didn't I lie to you?"

Huang Quan's tone was triumphant.

The other six pilots behind him looked at their captain and couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths—it's only been a few days, and the captain's temper has become so similar.

"How's the performance? How's the weapon configuration?"

"Is there enough fuel?"

The three asked quickly.

"The fighter jets here are equipped with four 20mm cannons, and their performance is completely capable of facing the current main fighter jets of various countries. They are invincible below 6000 meters."

Huang Quan grinned:
"As for the oil..."

"Hehehe, we arrived here on February 70st, and it has been exactly seven days now. The lowest has [-] hours of flying experience, and the highest has more than [-] hours of flying experience."

"damn it!"

The three newcomers cursed in unison.

Huang Quan and the others are familiar with each other, and they never brag. Whatever he says, it must be true.

This also means.

The seven days they missed, they flew at least fifty hours less than others.

Before, Huang Quan invited them to come here, but the three of them disliked the poor conditions of the Eighth Route, unable to provide high-performance aircraft and logistics, and planned to join the national army, until they received the news again a few days ago, in which Huang Quan vowed to say that the conditions here It's better than Guofu, so they came here.

"Hahaha."

Huang Quan waved:

"Go to the flight manual now, there's going to be a big fight in a week."

······
February NO.13.

Taiyuan.

"General."

The captain of the Yoshino Regiment, Colonel Yoshino, walked into the headquarters of the First Army and bowed his head to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"How is Yoshino-kun's health now?"

Yoshio Shinozuka spoke calmly.

In the previous attack on Heyuan County, not only the Yoshino Regiment lost a lot, but even the leader of the Regiment, Yoshino Dazuo, was hit by shrapnel from a shell. It was not a serious injury, but it was not a light one.

"Thank you General for your concern."

Yoshino bowed his head:

"It has fully recovered."

"Yo Xi."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded:
"According to the recent intelligence analysis of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong will inevitably launch an attack on Ping'an County in the near future. Although Yamamoto-kun is the best to respond adequately, the opponent is Li Yunlong after all, and he is powerful."

"So, you are ready. When the time is right, I need you to lead the troops to raid Heyuan County again."

"Hi... hi."

Rarely, the captain of the First Army Mobile Wing, who has always been brave enough to fight, Yoshino Osamu hesitated in his tone.

As the captain of the Dazuo United, he naturally knew that the Heyuan County garrison at this time not only had stronger firepower than his last attack, but also had 72 heavy artillery with a diameter of more than [-] mm, and also had an air force.

Before his regiment was forcibly blocked by other artillery, a brigade was killed and injured, and even himself was injured. This time, he attacked Heyuan County, which has a stronger defense force. I'm afraid it wasn't...

"You don't need to worry, Yoshino-kun."

Hearing Yoshino's tone, Yoshio Shinozuka was not angry, but smiled slightly:
"This time, the unit stationed in Fu'an and the Kasai unit that just arrived from the Kwantung Army will also participate in the attack."

"The Kasai Brigade is the real elite of the Kwantung Army. It once fought against the Soviet Army at Nuomenkan and achieved some gains."

"In addition, the Heavy Artillery Wing directly under the First Army will also participate in the battle, and the Peiping Flying Squadron will also send a brigade of bombers and attack aircraft to support your attack on Heyuan County."

Although Operation No. [-] is about to begin, the First Army does not participate, and it can be used in combat. As for the aircraft, it is Yoshio Shinozuka's second priority to Okamura Ning.

'Hi. '

Yoshino's tone suddenly recovered, even louder than before.

Three regiments, that is 1 troops, and there is also a heavy artillery regiment. Although the heavy artillery regiment of the First Army cannot suppress the artillery fire of the Heyuan County Independent Regiment, it can also contain part of it.

The experience of Ping'an County shows that although the independent regiment has many artillery pieces, it lacks excellent gunners.

And, there are planes.

Airplanes are the most suitable for dealing with artillery.

but···
In addition to feeling emotional in his heart, Yoshino was also amazed in his heart. Fu'an is an important stronghold on the Tongpu railway line. The general dared to mobilize this regiment to join the battle. It is really courageous.

·····
February [-]th.

early morning.

From Heyuan County to Pan County.

Five kilometers away from the devil's position.

A company of 105 tanks and [-] armored vehicles from the Armored Battalion of the Independent Regiment began to assemble. On the rear position, seventy [-] howitzers raised their barrels.

"Armor company, attack."

Behind the team, Sun Desheng rode a military horse, held a saber, and gave the order to attack.

The former battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, now the director of the machinery factory in Zhaojiayu base area, has decided to give up commanding the troops at the front line after driving a tank and devote himself wholeheartedly to the work of the machinery factory.

　There will be two changes tomorrow, and there is not enough time for the next chapter, so I can't finish writing. . .
