Chapter 329 Preparing for a Large BBQ
Gao Jianwu's invitation did not receive a positive response from Major General Smith, but Gao Jianwu didn't care. After eating up the little devils he met by chance, he continued to take Smith south.

He didn't do anything on purpose, but it was the inadvertently shown strong strength now that Major General Smith was convinced.

Back at the Allied Southeast Asia Theater Command, Major General Smith gave a detailed report to General Steven, and soon, General Steven made another report directly to his superior and the President.

The content of the report is very simple, the main thing is to tell the higher-ups that now using Wanwan Island as a base, the conditions for attacking the mainland of Xiaotian have been fully met!

Soon, the high-level allied forces made a decision, using Taibei as a central base, and began to prepare for a wave of memorable blows to Xiaotian mainland.

Before that, the Allied Forces will clean up the Xiaoritian Air Force Base from Wanwan Island to Kyushu!
This task will be handed over to Major General Smith and a new major general named Li Mei. He brought the 21st Allied Bomber Unit.
"Gao, this is General Li Mei." As a landlord, Gao Jianwu quickly met General Li Mei.

Major General Smith brought General Li Mei to visit, and they also coordinated the use of the base.

"General Li Mei, this is Gao Jianwu, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Task Force."

"Welcome General Li Mei to Taibei, I hope that General Li Mei can have a good time here." Gao Jianwu greeted General Li Mei with a smile, and greeted General Li Mei according to the custom in the army.

General Li Mei with silver-gray hair returned the salute solemnly, "Commander Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After finishing speaking without saying a word, Gao Jianwu invited the two of them to the office to sit down.

"Does General Li Mei want tea or coffee?" Gao Jianwu asked. As for Major General Smith, he already knew it very well, so there was no need to ask.

"Tea, thank you!" General Li Mei said.

Seeing General Li Mei for the first time, Gao Jianwu felt that he was a very different person from Major General Smith. He cherished words like gold when communicating with others. He sat on the sofa with an upright posture and a serious face, which made him have a kind of coldness and indifference to strangers. aura.

After a while, Gao Jianwu's orderly brought tea and coffee.

"John, this is your coffee; General Li Mei, this is our oolong tea, a specialty tea on Wanwan Island. See if it suits your taste?"

General Li Mei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a fresh fragrance came out, which was refreshing.

"Good tea! I like it very much." General Li Mei finished speaking and put down the teacup.

"It's good if you like it, the two generals, I don't know if we come together today, what can I do to help the two generals?" Gao Jianwu was not polite, and went directly to the topic.

Dealing with these serious soldiers in the beautiful country, he is used to being straightforward.

"Gao, we came here today mainly to settle a few things." Major General Smith was used to Gao Jianwu, so he was not polite.

"The first thing, I hope that from the port to the airport, there will be a special transport team responsible for the transfer of fuel and ammunition. This bombing lasted for a long time and the scale is large. The amount of oil transfer and ammunition transfer involved It is relatively large, and the safety guarantee and quantity of transshipment personnel are required to be high."

"Understood, John, I will personally supervise this matter, organize a transportation team with clear members, and give me the specific data on the weight and volume that need to be transported every day, and I will organize enough transportation capacity to solve this problem."

Gao Jianwu replied without hesitation.

"The second thing is, high, the number of fighter planes we use this time is relatively large, and the bomber planes may reach 400 at the peak. In terms of airport and camp support, we hope it can be resolved in advance. Our crew may be as high as more than 2000 people. Plus ground support, I hope to get a camp of about 6000 people."

"No problem, now we can directly provide camps for 5000 people around several airports in the north! It has been built according to the standards of the Allied Forces. It is an apartment-style camp for 4 people with a separate bathroom." Gao Jianwu replied simply.He had communicated these matters with Major General Smith in advance, and there was basically no mistake.

However, General Li Mei is here today, especially because his bomber crew is large and demanding, so Major General Smith asked Gao Jianwu to confirm with General Li Mei in person.

"The third thing is that our bomber fleet is large, but there are not enough fighter jets to escort it. I hope to get assistance from the air force of the Southeast Task Force and participate in the combat escort during the mission." Major General Smith continued.

"No problem." Gao Jianwu said happily, "But the Allied forces have to bear the battle damage and the consumption of supplies and ammunition."

"Of course, General Li Mei, if you need anything else, you can ask Gao now."

"Commander Gao, I want to know, if our bomber returns and it is too late to fly back to Taibei, do you have a spare place for us to land?" General Li Mei asked.

Although General Li Mei was asking, in fact, he had already learned something before coming here.He wanted to know Gao Jianwu's views on this matter and Gao Jianwu's status within the Eighth Route.

"Of course, we still have two areas that can provide alternate landings for Allied bombers." Gao Jianwu took out a map and pointed to two different areas on it.

"On this peninsula, we have already controlled this place. We have built a large field airport here, which can support the landing of hundreds of fighter planes at least. It is about 1500 kilometers away from Jingjing. There is no doubt that this is the longest bomber fleet. Good alternate airport.

If necessary, we can also expand the new field airfield in this area. "

"In addition, here, we have also built a large field airport, which is about 1600 kilometers away from Jingjing. We have deployed about 40 fighter jets to ensure the security of these two airspaces. It is our solid base."

Hearing what Gao Jianwu said, General Li Mei's eyes lit up. What he actually wanted was to have a safe landing zone on the peninsula and the coastal area. Gao Jianwu said it right away.

It is convenient to talk to wise people.

"When can we conduct a field inspection?" General Li Mei continued to ask.

"General Li Mei is welcome to inspect at any time." Gao Jianwu responded, obviously full of confidence in these places.

Gao Jianwu's actions were simply unexpected by General Li Mei. He did not expect that one of the two major problems he had been worrying about would be solved so quickly by Gao Jianwu.

Although he has not seen the field airport mentioned by Gao Jianwu, needless to say, if he promises to inspect it at any time, he has already prepared for it.

Although General Li Mei didn't have much idea of ​​the situation on the opposite side of the mainland, he still had a certain understanding of Gao Jianwu and the Eighth Route through Major General Smith.

Judging from what he saw on Wanwan Island, at least Gao Jianwu is not a casual talker.

"Commander Gao, if we launch a bombing on Thrush, what method will be the most effective?" General Li Mei couldn't help asking the second question of concern.

"Low-altitude bombing at night, of course!" Gao Jianwu blurted out, as if he already knew the answer.

"Why?" General Li Mei frowned, and Gao Jianwu answered too quickly, making it appear that he hadn't thought about it.

Gao Jianwu was taken aback, isn't this the hard work you did yourself?Why is the answer wrong?

But Gao Jianwu thought about it again, the big bombing of Thrush had not yet started, and General Li Mei himself may not have found the answer.

"Low-altitude bombing at night can ensure the accuracy of bombing, and if incendiary bombs are used for night bombing, the bombing damage effect will be maximized!

Because many of the buildings in the small books are wooden buildings, it is obvious that the destructive power of conventionally used high-explosive bombs to wooden buildings is far less than that of masonry buildings.But incendiary bombs can have a deadly effect on these wooden structures. "Gao Jianwu gave the answer directly.

This answer caused General Li Mei to fall into brief contemplation, "Incendiary bombing at night?" General Li Mei pondered Gao Jianwu's idea for a while.

Major General Smith next to him gasped, this Gao Jianwu is really a ruthless person who doesn't talk too much.

The night bombing is still an incendiary bomb that damages a large area. If it is really like Gao Jianwu said that the small book building is still mainly made of wood, then after this bombing, there will be almost no large cities, even a big city like Tsujing , I am afraid that it will be overfired if it cannot withstand a few bombings!
The more General Li Mei thought about it, the more he felt that what Gao Jianwu said made sense, and he felt suddenly enlightened.

As the leader of a bomber unit, what he has to do is to maximize the effect of the bombing, and other considerations are secondary.

Gao Jianwu's words immediately solved the problem he had been troubled with recently.

During daytime bombing, the high-altitude mode must be adopted, otherwise the intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire of the little devils would be too lethal to the huge bomber.

The biggest problem with high-altitude bombing is the loss of bombing accuracy. Before that, bombers had been organized to attack Tsuginjing, but General Li Mei knew that the local weather in Xiaobenzi did not support high-altitude precision bombing, and only 10% of the bombs hit. The target, the bombing effect is not ideal.

If low-altitude bombing is used at night, and incendiary bombs are used as a surface-killing weapon, then there is no need to doubt the accuracy of the bombing, but it is right to throw it wherever the lights can be seen!

"Commander Gao, you have solved another big problem for us." The unsmiling General Li Mei said to Gao Jianwu excitedly.

"It's no wonder General Smith admires you so much. Commander Gao is indeed a war genius, and he can think of places that people can't think of."

"General Li Mei, you're being polite. I've stayed in Xiaobenzi for a while, so I know a little bit about their situation." Gao Jianwu said politely.

"People like Xiaobenzi, you have to really convince them before they will give up. Before that, they won't listen to you well. Now all the little devils are still dreaming. I hope we can be in their dreams. Only by setting a fire in the middle and truly shattering their illusions will the war end."

General Li Mei and Major General Smith nodded after hearing Gao Jianwu's words. They had seen Gao Jianwu again.

The radio wave transmitted Gao Jianwu's opinion to the headquarters, and soon it was sent back from the headquarters to Gao Jianwu, and General Li Mei's inspection tour was able to take place soon.

Mr. Chen from the Lianghuai base area and Mr. Luo from the Qilu base area started a large-scale construction of field airports in accordance with Gao Jianwu's suggestion in several key areas of the base area after the initial wave of development.

At first they didn't want to understand what Gao Jianwu was going to do, but Gao Jianwu impressed them so much, so the two bosses did it without asking any questions!

After the airport was built, it didn't just sit on the shelf like this. The air force of the new Hubei-Yuan-Wan Military Region once stationed in and provided large-scale air support for their local strategy.

Let the two bosses have a preliminary understanding of air-ground cooperative operations. With the mass production of the Mustang fighter jets in the Jinyang Arsenal and the fighter reconnaissance planes that were captured by some little devils in the battle, these two bases have also established their own flight operations. The brigade has lived a new life that was unimaginable in the past.

At Sheyang Airport, as four Mustang fighter jets arrived first, a B-4 Super Fortress bomber appeared in the sight of a group of special visitors.

"Mr. Chen, they are here!" Next to the tallest figure in the crowd, a communication staff officer hurried over and said to the tallest figure.

"Order the Air Defense Battalion to continue vigilance, and all fighter planes of the Air Force will continue to patrol the air. We must ensure the safety of our guests!" The tall and straight man known as Mr. Chen said loudly.

The special guests who came today, according to the headquarters, must do their best to ensure safety.

"Yes!" The communications staff member hurried away.

"Mr. Chen, who are we going to meet today? Why is there such a big battle!" A teacher who stayed here asked curiously.

"Old Huang, the person who came today is the one you need to thank." Mr. Chen replied with a smile.

"It's him!" Mr. Huang was shocked, and immediately connected with someone in his mind. "Isn't he managing that island? Why do you have time to come to us, but I really have to thank him!"

"It's not just him, there is another guest who is also a great person, and this time it is the one who personally accompanied the guest to inspect."

In the previous and present lives, Gao Jianwu was picked up by someone for the first time, and his feelings are really hard to describe.

"General Li Mei, some leaders from our base area are here to welcome us. They don't mean anything but simply welcome us." Uncle Nian's temper is that of a real professional soldier.

Not good at talking, but also very principled.

"It doesn't matter, Gao, I just hope that when I inspect, I don't need a large group of people to follow, I can just watch it myself." General Li Mei said.

"No problem, General Li Mei, let's go down."

"Warmly welcome Commander Gao and General Li Mei to Sheyang." Seeing Gao Jianwu and General Li Mei get off the plane, President Chen came over and greeted warmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, this is General Li Mei of the Allied Forces," Gao Jianwu saw the familiar figure, and responded with a smile, "This is Mr. Chen, the commander of our central China base."

"Thank you, Commander Chen. Next, I want to check the specific situation of the airport first. It would be even better if there are engineers for the construction of the airport. I can ask about the specific situation of the airport, but it doesn't matter if you don't have one. I will look it up myself. "General Li Mei didn't come to play. After shaking hands with Mr. Chen, he wanted to start work.

General Gao Jian translated General Li Mei's words to Mr. Chen, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, the style of the Allied Army is like this. Do the work first and then talk about other things. I think we have finished the welcome ceremony here, so we will stay behind Just send some engineering and technical personnel and security guards, and other leading comrades will not be used as companions. After I accompany General Li Mei to inspect the alternate airport, I have to go to the peninsula to see the next one. This matter is very important to the alliance. It is very important to the military, so they have to come and see for themselves to be at ease."

"Well, just come to my place. You have to eat a bite before you leave. Commander Gao, you supported our department some time ago. We are comrades and brothers now. We don't speak the same language as a family. If you have any requirements, please directly Tell me, don't say that you can do it if you have the conditions, but if you don't have the conditions to do it now, you should try your best to do it well if you have the conditions!"

Mr. Chen is also a straightforward person. Hearing what Gao Jianwu said, he didn't say much, and expressed his opinion directly.

"Mr. Chen is serious. There is nothing serious about it now. We basically control the entire shipping line of our Huaihe River. We hope to find more shipping and engineering experts in China to carry out some governance on the Huaihe River. On the one hand, it is to reduce flooding, and on the other hand, to improve shipping as soon as possible, our raw materials in Nanyang will be sent to Shanxi, Sui, Hubei, Henan and Anhui through this large channel in the future.”

Gao Jianwu really didn't have time, so in a hurry, he told Mr. Chen what he was concerned about. After speaking, he followed General Li Mei to conduct a field inspection along the airport.

On this newly built field airport, of course, there are no modern things such as the concrete runway that Gao Jianwu is familiar with. The ground is simply leveled and compacted with huge stone rollers so that it can bear the huge pressure of transport aircraft taking off and landing.

General Li Mei followed the runway all the way, and used a hammer in his hand to test from time to time along the way.

The road surface is very clean and compacted. It is obvious that engineering experts have participated in the construction of this airport, and they are very responsible. It is difficult for General Li Mei to imagine how this airport can do this without the help of modern construction machinery.

As he inspected a complete runway, his serious face began to relax.

"Gao, you are really amazing. This is one of the best field airports I have ever seen. I admire you for building such a high-quality field airport." General Li Mei said with a thumbs up.

"Thank you for your approval, General Li Mei. I think the biggest weakness here is that there is no cover. When the Allied bombers landed on a large scale, they couldn't avoid the eyes and ears of Xiaoben, so we need more fighter jets to guard the surrounding area. Otherwise, the bombers we landed here would be easy targets for the little ones, you know we don't have any anti-aircraft defenses, very little anti-aircraft artillery."

"Other than that, as long as it's something we can work out, we're fine."

Gao Jianwu also told the truth, this place is too close to the little devil's East China occupation area, if there is no strong air force guard, it is indeed easy to be attacked by the little devil.

"They will not have such an opportunity. Before bombing Tsuginyo, we will carry out a powerful bombing of the line from Ryukyu to Kyushu, the main air base in the small occupied area of ​​East China, and then I will apply for at least 3 squadrons of Mustang fighter jets to enter Escorts around this airfield may have been undertaken by the Flying Tigers, or by General Smith's Allied Air Force."

General Li Mei was not worried about this. He checked along the second runway while observing the wind direction.

The orientation of the runway is southeast, facing the southeast wind that is easy to rise, and the takeoff will be faster. It can be seen that the designer has considered the details of takeoff and landing in advance.

Every few steps, General Li Mei tapped the ground as hard as a rock. A few hours passed by. After a simple lunch, Gao Jianwu and General Li Mei finished their work and flew directly to the easternmost field on the Qilu Peninsula. Airport.

There, General Li Mei also saw a high-quality field airfield. At the end of the airport, he also saw a huge stone mill as high as one person used to build the airport. For General Li Mei, it was very difficult to understand how these things It was transported here without mechanized support, and then how to drive them to carry out airport construction.

But all of this is not important now. The important thing is that Gao Jianwu did not lie. In the base area, they really have several field airports capable of taking off and landing large B-29 bombers.

General Li Mei not only personally drove the plane to land in these places, but also conducted a detailed inspection and acceptance of the runway.

It proves that there is really no problem with taking off and landing super sky fortresses in these places.

For a large bomber with extremely high take-off and landing requirements, the Qilu Peninsula and the field airports in Sheyang are nothing. It was hard as a rock indeed.

In addition, the surrounding areas are all solid bases controlled by the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army. The ground is not worried that the little devils can rush in, and the security aspect is also greatly guaranteed.

In addition, it is close to the sea, and supplies are convenient. For General Li Mei, there is no other base that is more ideal than these two bases.

Seven days later, the Allied Air Forces first carried out a round of devastating bombing on the Little Devils Air Force Base in Modu, directly destroying more than 20 fighters of various types left by the Little Devils at the base, and then the Little Devils near the airport commanded Buildings, barracks, etc. were razed to the ground by heavy bombs.

At the same time, the Little Devils Airport in the Ryukyu-Kyushu area also began to suffer catastrophe. Most of the fighters were wiped out at the airport. The fighters that got out of control by chance last time, at most, lingered for a day or two, and swarmed in The Mustang fighter group covered the sky densely, so that the little devil officers who wanted to exchange for the bombers could not find a chance to break into the restricted area set by the Mustang fighter jets.

In this one-sided bombing, the little devil has almost no ability to resist.
