Chapter 378 Strong Wind ()

In the combat command room of the "Izumo".

Hase Qingchuan and others looked at the map in front of them, their faces more solemn than ever before.

Even when they were bombed by Shen Chonghui's bombers just now, everyone's faces were not as ugly as they are now.

Although from their perspective, they were basically unable to see the fighting in the sky over Zhabei, the air patrols at the Naval Command clearly saw the scene of four Japanese fighter jets exploding above their heads.

Even through the faint rain curtain, they discovered the location of Lu Feng's firepower point.

Immediately, Rear Admiral Ouchikawa of the Naval Command passed this information to Hase Aokawa.

After learning that the target suspected of being Zhang Wenbai's headquarters was not eliminated by his own artillery fire, and that four more Japanese aircraft were shot down, Hase Aokawa and the others knew that things were a bit troublesome.

"This air defense force will be a very huge threat."

This time, it was Inoue Narumi who spoke first.

Hase Aokawa and others did not answer, but they all acquiesced to Inoue Narumi's statement.

"Is this possible? As the supreme commander of the national army, would Zhang Wenbai put himself in such a dangerous position?"

Therefore, even though the other party only showed such a sign, Hase Qingchuan and others still attached great importance to this air defense force.

It doesn't matter if you lose face, as long as you have the strength, you can earn it back sooner or later.

And now, this Chinese air defense force has shown an ability that is almost game-breaking.

Hase Aokawa pointed to the Patriotic Girls' School area on the map and said in a serious tone.

The modern battlefield is a complex and unified overall structure. War is no longer a confrontation between a single service. The coordination ability between the navy, army, and air force is a more important consideration.

Link by link, one move affects the whole body.

If our own planes hadn't driven away the Chinese Air Force planes after taking off, I'm afraid they would still be fleeing in confusion on the river.

If the bombing by Shen Chonghui and the others just now meant that the Third Fleet had lost face, the existence of this air defense force now makes it possible for the Third Fleet to lose face.

If luck could be used as an excuse for downing two water reconnaissance planes before, then this time downing four fighter jets is irrefutable strength.

The lack of air superiority has brought about a decrease in the survivability of naval warships, making it difficult to provide timely artillery support to the Marine Corps on land.

But if you lose your dignity, it will not be easy to earn it back.

As the fleet commander of the Navy, although Hase Aokawa does not agree with Yamamoto's seven-by-eight naval aviation victory theory, he is still very positive about the role of the air force.

Inoue Narumi asked with some doubt:

"Judging from the information collected so far, this force obviously went in the opposite direction under the artillery fire coverage just now, moved to the east, and penetrated into our defense circle."

In such a state, the most important weapon of the warship: the large-caliber naval gun, is basically reduced to a decoration and cannot play its role at all.

With such an amazingly accurate air defense force, the Japanese Air Force will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation in its confrontation with the Chinese Air Force.

Just like just now, once they were attacked by the air force, their fleet would be unable to make an effective counterattack except for maneuvering to avoid it.

Hase Qingchuan narrowed his eyes and said:

"The intelligence agency has collected a lot of information about Zhang Wenbai. According to the judgment of the intelligence agency, he is a bold and careful general whose use of troops cannot be judged by common sense.

In the last "SH Incident", the opponent personally led his troops into the battle and defeated the 9th Brigade Kurume Mixed Brigade, establishing his position in the national army in one fell swoop. I have every reason to believe that the other party will still choose to fight on the front line in person this time. Otherwise, this air defense force would not appear here. "

Although Hase Aokawa's analysis sounded reasonable, Inoue Narumi still had some doubts in her heart.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

Because at this time, as the commander, Hase Aokawa cannot be questioned, and his judgment cannot be wrong.

Even if it is wrong, we have to wait until after the war to summarize it, not now.

"So, what do we do now?"

Inoue Narumi asked.

After Hase Qingchuan stared at the Patriotic Girls' School for a long time, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Order, the fleet's guns adjust their positions and cover this area with another round of artillery fire. I don't believe they have such good luck."

"But your Excellency, Commander, there are still our soldiers here. If the naval guns bombard us, we will hit our own people."

"Then what do you think we should do? Let them shoot down all our planes wherever they are? Or ban our planes from approaching there? Let the elite of our Empire of Japan retreat to the Chinese army?"

Being slapped with such a big hat by Hase Aokawa, Inoue Narumi couldn't bear it. He collected his thoughts and said:

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think that even if there is to be an artillery strike, the troops over there must first be notified to retreat into the fortification bunker to take shelter. Then I think this time the artillery attack only requires the use of secondary guns and 75mm rapid-fire cannons. You can just attack without using the main gun.

The strength of the fortifications we built there can completely withstand such artillery attacks, but the national troops have no choice.

In this way, they must find a place to shelter the artillery fire. After the artillery bombardment is over, we will order the Marine Corps there to search and annihilate the enemy, and we will definitely be able to catch them all. "

After listening to Inoue Narumi's plan, Hase Aokawa also thought about it for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Inoue Narumi's plan was good.

"Yoshi, let's follow Inoue-kun's plan and issue orders to each ship, and then contact Rear Admiral Ouchikawa and ask him to arrange the marines now. As soon as the artillery fire stops, they will immediately go out to search and try to capture all of this unit. Surrounded and annihilated."

"Hi."

Soon, Hase Aokawa's order was issued to the warships of the Third Fleet. Dozens of Japanese ships began to adjust their guns and aimed at the area of ​​the Patriotic Girls' School.

Five minutes later, Major General Ouchikawa, who had completed the retreat and cover of his personnel, sent a message to Hase Aokawa that artillery bombardment was possible.

"fire!"

With an order, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers began to unleash their firepower on the Patriotic Girls' School and Yuedong Middle School.

Although the bombardment this time did not include those large-caliber main guns and was slightly less powerful, the scene was still shocking.

Except for those solid fortresses carefully built by the Japanese army, residential buildings, as well as various temporary fortifications and bunkers built by the Japanese army on the streets were all blown to bits and were basically useless.

On the outer position of Chizhi University.

Zhou Weiguo and others, who were still observing Xu Hu's surprise attack, were also attracted by the huge momentum.

Looking at the fire bombing scene to the east that was almost the same as the Eight-shaped Bridge just now, Zhou Weiguo knew that Lu Feng's fishing was successful.

I just don’t know, how are the battalion commander and the others doing now?
