Rise from the sword

Chapter 659

"One, two, three..."

In the field airport near the [-] Lions station, a group of generals held their heads up, stretched their necks and looked at the giant transport planes landing in the distance, with their mouths and eyes wide open.

It's all shocking.

They have been fighting the devils here with the expeditionary force abroad, and almost no one has returned home.

Although I have heard that the Tuba Road is so powerful and powerful today, with advanced weapons, well-trained, and fighting power that crushes devils, but it is hearsay after all.

It's hard to feel.

Seeing these falling transport planes now, the huge body is as big as the largest B29 bomber in the United States of America, and the huge cabin is obviously much heavier than the American bomber.

The heavier the plane, the more power it needs, and they are still very clear about this.

In other words, the aircraft engine in front of us has more horsepower than the Americans.There are also five-bladed propellers and streamlined engine nacelles, which seem to be more advanced than American bombers.

and.

American bombers cannot land on this kind of earthy airport.

At this time, the first few transport planes had already started to land, and the hatch at the rear was opened, and the soldiers of Sanwubashi rushed up one after another, skillfully taking out ten-wheel trucks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery.

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times."

A general sighed.

They have heard many times that the group of people is very strong, very powerful, and the devils who beat them throw away their armor, including tanks, planes, and cannons.

But hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

They rely on the Americans, they have the latest American weapons in their hands, and they are paid in US dollars. Although they are not as good as the Americans, they are at least much better than the domestic ones. They are naturally arrogant and look down on the domestic troops.

Coupled with more than ten years of concepts, the group of people who have been hiding in the mountains and forests haha.

I still think that I am better than Tubalu.

At most, it's [-]-[-].

As for the devils fighting in the country, I am afraid that they are dealing with some second-rate divisions, and they are facing incredible first-rate divisions, A-type divisions, which cannot be directly compared.

But after seeing it now, even if it's just some planes, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture, and then you really realize that it's not just a [-]-[-] split, I'm afraid I'm not even worthy of carrying shoes.

People directly benchmark against the United States, and even have an advantage.

The Americans also do not have the ability to transport heavy artillery of this caliber, nor can they transport armored vehicles, heavy trucks by air.

"This plane has to transport about ten tons."

Someone sighed.

"If there were such a transport aircraft on the hump route back then..."

Another general sighed.

The hump route, because of the special route and the lack of powerful transport planes, can only transport small supplies, but cannot transport heavy weapons, and the quantity transported at one time is very small.

"Humph."

Someone snorted coldly:
"Even if the Americans had them, they probably wouldn't give them to us. Back then, they refused to give us even a few heavy artillery pieces. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they suspended trade with us, but sold them to the little devils on a large scale for various military supplies."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yunfei deliberately turned his head to look at this person.

During the discussion among the people, two hundred transport planes had already landed, and two full regiments, together with Chu Yunfei's guard battalion, also quickly unloaded the supplies in the plane.

"This unloading speed is too fast!"

Looking at the supplies piled up on the edge of the airport and guarded by the guard battalion, the high-level person who spoke first shrank his pupils.

The unloading speed is really too fast.

Although this kind of transport aircraft with a large rear door is much more convenient to unload than the American transport aircraft, armored vehicles, trucks, and heavy artillery can be directly driven in and out as a whole, which is very convenient, and the unloading speed is theoretically very fast.

However, transport aircraft must be fixed to transport heavy materials, and it is not an easy task to untie those fixed ropes.

unless.

These soldiers have been trained, or very experienced, and are familiar with the unloading process of this type of aircraft.

This is a new aircraft.

Thinking of this, the high-ranking officer began to sweat dripping down his back. He swallowed his throat and wiped his forehead. He quietly stepped back a few more steps and silently retreated into the crowd.

······
subcontinent.

"The Bohai Bay defense line has been defeated."

Gangcun looked at the telegram in his hand and heaved a long sigh.

After sighing, Gangcun suddenly realized that he has been moaning more and more recently. To be precise, he liked to sigh since he started dealing with the independent regiment, and then it became more and more intense.

This is not a good thing.

After settling his mind, Gangcun concentrated his thoughts and began to think:

"In just one day, the five lines of defense collapsed, and more than 20 divisions were defeated. In the next three days, the entire line of defense collapsed completely, with the loss of more than one-fifth of the troops and almost all of the heavy equipment."

"In the end what happened?"

He couldn't figure it out.

More than [-] divisions, unprecedented strength, last year's No. [-] battle, but the size of the force, and many of them are veteran divisions, Type A divisions, with rich combat experience and outstanding commanders.

Coupled with abundant materials, a solid position built for several months, naval fleet support, an air force jointly formed by the navy, land and air force, and Lieutenant General Hattori Kotaro, commander of Chengde and the Independence Regiment, who confronted each other for several months.

The strength is very strong.

The fact that he blocked the enemy's attack many times before is proof.

How could there be a total collapse all of a sudden, and so quickly?

"It's simple."

Yamamoto put down the telegram in his hand, and also heaved a long sigh:

"The confrontation is too long, and the morale has actually collapsed before the war begins."

Without even thinking about it, Yamamoto guessed the reason why the army collapsed so quickly. It is normal for an army to lose morale and fail.

"Morale collapse..."

Gangcun was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a long silence. After thinking about it, he sighed deeply again.

It has been several months since the mainland of the Empire was bombed, the Locust Palace was burned down, and countless citizens were buried in the sea of ​​flames. This point can hardly be concealed. The fallen photos of Tokyo almost covered Bohai Bay, and the morale was greatly affected.

Many soldiers have no intention of fighting.

Also.

The samurai carefully selected by the Bushido spirit are indeed very resilient, and they can be called the strongest soldiers. In the early battles, almost no locust warriors were captured. , the beginning is already close to double digits, and the number of soldiers is exhausted. Even in the Type A division, the quality of soldiers has plummeted.

There is no way out on the island, you can fight to the death.

But in the Bohai Bay area, there are more escape routes, and in order to collect fuel, food and other supplies, the locust army is forced to open the channel and let the soldiers communicate with the outside world, and the independent group will inevitably infiltrate and corrupt on a large scale.

The roots have started to rot.

He has fought against the independent regiment many times. Although he is not as good as Yamamoto, he is also very clear about the methods of that group.

Tanks are like torrents, if one is lost, one can be replenished immediately, artillery is like a storm, and aircraft are like swarms of locusts, covering the sky and covering the sky.There are also special weapons such as ground penetrating bombs.

Ammunition is completely unlimited.

The imperial troops, no matter how strengthened they are, still have dozens of times the difference in firepower.

The confrontation in Bohai Bay lasted for three months, and the number of enemies was not less than that of the locust army. Although the empire was able to keep the airspace of its position during the confrontation, the daily bombardment must be indispensable.

At that time, a unit of the size of the regiment had artillery fire several times more than that of the Imperial Division. It was hard to imagine how powerful this army, which was about the same size as the locust army in the Bohai Bay area, could have.

Tank troops, not only have powerful firepower and thick armor, but also have another advantage, that is, strong mobility.

Very strong penetration ability.

Bohai Bay is a plain terrain, relying on strong fortresses to defend key nodes, but the empire is not capable of covering the entire position with fortresses like the Independence Regiment, and there are many defensive loopholes.
How many casualties must have been incurred in order to hold positions during a three-month standoff?
How low should morale be?

In such a situation, it is normal to lead to a collapse.

"The Empire Now..."

As soon as this topic started, Gangcun wisely changed the subject.

He wanted to talk about what to do, but there was nothing to talk about on this topic.

Can't talk.

The mainland is still being bombed, and the enemy is still expanding the scale of the bombing. According to the information he knows, on average, more than [-] tons of bombs were dropped every day last month.

The oilfields of Southeast Asia were also devastated, and the empire's plans for self-sufficiency in fuel oil were also shattered.

After the failure of Bohai Bay, the acquisition of food, fuel and other supplies will also decrease sharply. It can be expected that the most difficult days for the empire will follow.

"The supplies we provide should allow the empire to last for a while."

Gangcun finally choked out this sentence.

Thanks to the fact that Li Yunlong and his group have not been able to cut off the Southeast Asian route, their supplies can still be transported to the mainland. Although they have to detour more than 1000 kilometers, they can barely support it for a while.

But that expeditionary force has already begun to attack them. Although this force is not strong, it is still a trouble, and the future situation of the empire is clouded.

There was no hope in sight.

"Persist for a while?"

Yamamoto snorted coldly:
"impossible."

"Li Yunlong definitely has a way to cut off our connection with the mainland."

"Ok?"

Gangcun's first reaction was disbelief.

Although Li Yunlong's actions are incredible.

But unless Li Yunlong can occupy an island in the South China Sea, build an airport, and deploy bombers to cut off the South China Sea route, and it must be very close to the Southeast Asian route.

At least one air force airport must be deployed more than [-] kilometers south of the coastline.

This is impossible.

"They can build an airport in Nan County in a week, deploy more than [-] aircraft, and build an island airport in the South China Sea in a short period of time. It is not difficult."

Yamamoto said quietly:

"Also, who knows what weird new weapons they can come up with."

"The bomb this time is something we've never seen, or even thought about..."

As soon as Yamamoto reminded him, Gangcun suddenly trembled all over.

The defenders of the Palembang Oilfield have detailed reports on the new bombs.

The power of the explosion exceeds 300 tons of yellow explosives, which can clear the rainforest in a radius of [-] meters. It will cause people in the underground fortifications to suffocate and die. The explosion will first spill a layer of white matter before it explodes.

Based on the explosion, they speculated that the explosion should be generated with the help of oxygen in the air to form an explosive power of [-] tons, to form suffocation, and to cover such a large area.

However, I have no idea how to make it, and can only guess that the spilled substances are the key.

Gangcun was thankful that thanks to the previous battles, for example, Li Yunlong did not have such bombs during the Yuzhong Battle, otherwise none of his North China Front Army would have survived.

"Hey."

Gangcun sighed deeply.

······
south county.

"deal."

Inside Wang Gensheng's temporary headquarters, a telegraph operator rushed in with a telegram.

"where?"

Wang Gensheng asked quickly.

"According to the order of the regiment headquarters, they will build a sea and air base overseas, deploy the latest guided missile destroyers, and a bomber fleet equipped with missiles."

Yes, guided missile destroyers.

After regaining Bohai Bay, they changed their equipment and obtained new warships, guided missile destroyers, with enhanced tonnage, longer range and more advanced performance.

"Natuna!"

The telegraph operator spat out a place name.
