Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1430, reassurance

It’s rare!

Things are changing!

Zhang Yong held a telescope in the air to watch the excitement.

The little devil also has today.

Being chased and beaten by a plane. Even if you fall into a latrine, you can't escape.

The Japanese invaders were indeed careless.

Unexpectedly, I would also be bombarded by planes.

Not only does it not have enough anti-aircraft firepower, even the bunkers on the ground do not have anti-aircraft functions.

How to say it?

Worse than the national army.

For this alone, his death was not unjust.

It is estimated that from now on, we will have to be careful about air defense.

Otherwise, planes may appear at any time to teach them how to behave.

Unfortunately, there are no bombs.

Those heavy weapons cannot cause fatal damage.

Any 25 kilogram bomb can destroy some 105 mm heavy cannons.

Vaguely, Zhang Yong noticed that there were several Hawker-3 fighter jets eager to try. Trying to crash.

"Pheasant, pheasant!"

"Don't do anything stupid!"

Zhang Yong reminded those pilots.

Don't be too hot-headed, just risk your own life.

Not worth it.

People are more valuable than weapons.

Especially you pilots.

Now, you are still a rookie. There is not enough combat experience.

However, as long as I, Zhang Yong, lead the team, as long as you are still alive, you will become veterans in two or three years.

Now, the performance of the fighter jets assisted by the Soviet Union is indeed not very good. Wait a few more years for US aid to arrive.

The performance of the aircraft aided by US imperialism is quite good.

In the later period, there were even monsters like the P-51. There are also B-29s and so on.

At that time, the American imperialists were very generous with aid in order to defeat the Japanese invaders.

The problem is, if you don’t have a skilled pilot, even if you are given a plane, you won’t be able to control it.

This is the reason why the national air force was rarely dispatched in the later period.

Stuck by Chennault.

The national air force itself does not have enough pilots.

I think the Flying Tigers are enough. Neglected to develop their own pilots.

As a result, someone took advantage of him at a critical moment.

Therefore, in the Battle of Changsha, the Battle of Changde, and the Battle of Hengyang, the National Air Force clearly had a large number of aircraft, but there was never any major action.

As long as more than a dozen planes are dispatched, the Japanese invaders will be in a difficult position. The losses were heavy.

I have to say that the internal disputes, contradictions, and tensions... are really very sad.

Forging iron depends on one's own strength.

If the National Air Force had its own pilots, it would not be subject to so many constraints.

You won't be stuck because of the appearance fee.

That's a life-saving moment!

well…

"Hurry up and use up all the bullets before returning home."

Zhang Yong continued to order.

Over there, the Japanese Type 97 fighter jets have arrived in Jinling.

Standard mourning. Just in time for them to report the loss of Jinling. This time, I wonder how many Japanese officers wanted to commit seppuku?

Look at the fuel gauge.

There is very little oil.

I guess I won’t be able to go back to Hankou Airport.

However, Zhang Yong didn't care at all. As long as I can go back to Jiujiang Airport.

Bombers cannot take off from Jiujiang Airport, but ordinary fighter jets can still take off. Especially landing. Fighters are already very light.

Command return.

He also followed the others leisurely.

Don't dare to fly too fast, lest you can't even fly to Jiujiang. It would be a bit dangerous if we had to make an emergency landing on the Yangtze River.

Of course, skydiving in advance is the best option. You can make sure you are safe. The cost is the loss of a fighter jet.

I wish I had an air tanker!

It would be great if we could refuel in the air.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it.

The system will not provide technology that is too advanced.

Aerial refueling is a post-World War II technology.

Don't think about it...

The air map shows that near Nanchang Airport, white dots and red dots seem to be playing hide and seek.

There was no melee. But staggered. No one was caught.

Or the Type 97 fighter jet from Hangzhou.

Nothing more was found.

Could it be that the Japanese fighter planes at Songshan Airport were not dispatched?

Maybe...

Look at the oil. It is no longer possible to reach Nanchang Airport.

You must first land at Jiujiang Airport and then replenish fuel. Then continue taking off.

However, after all this trouble, the battle at Nanchang Airport may be over. The Japanese fighter planes must be returning.

Flying silently over Anqing...

Suddenly I found that Anqing Airport seemed to be able to land.

The previous Anqing Airport was relatively simple. The runway may have been expanded during this period.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, airports across the country were expanded.

Among them, the most important point is to extend the runway.

OK, we will land at Anqing Airport. Just in time to say hello to the 67th Army. Look at the situation of the 67th Army.

Putt.

Lower the height.

Landed slowly at Anqing Airport.

Just stopped. He was immediately surrounded by a large group of national soldiers.

Loaded with live ammunition.

Fully armed.

Open the cockpit. Stick your head out.

"Mr. Commissioner!"

He was recognized immediately.

Zhang Yong still has a lot of face in the 67th Army.

After all, he often led the officers and soldiers of the 67th Army to charge. Many people know him.

We might meet each other on a regular basis, just by chance. Then forget about it. But on the battlefield, the memory is absolutely profound.

"Mr. Commissioner!"

"Mr. Commissioner!"

The surrounding officers gathered around him.

Every one of them is a surprise. All very happy. A little excited again.

They have not seen the Commissioner since they withdrew from Jinling. Unexpectedly, the troops stationed in Anqing, and the Commissioner came again.

"Liu Hao..."

"Zhang Nan..."

Zhang Yong called the names one by one.

I found that after the system upgrade, it was extremely magical.

Anything that requires memory. All automatically proxied. Including the other party's name, etc.

As a result, Zhang Yong called out all the officers and soldiers of the national army present. Suddenly, everyone became more excited.

The Commissioner actually remembered his name!

Not knowing.

Yes remember!

Even after such a long time, the Commissioner can remember his name accurately.

For a moment, everyone felt that this was a supreme honor.

finally…

It gradually quieted down.

Only then did the airport staff come up.

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

"Help me come on."

"Your Majesty Commissioner, we have no gas."

"Arrange someone to transport it to the dock. A transport ship will arrive soon."

"yes."

The staff turned around to make arrangements.

Zhang Yong found that there were very few people at Anqing Airport. Maybe only a dozen.

There are also no complete equipment and facilities. It's not so much an airport as it has only one runway. That's all.

After the 67th Army entered Anqing, they simply used the airport as a training ground.

At the same time, it was also to prevent the Japanese invaders from airborne.

Well, it's airborne. I don’t know where I got the information from. He actually knows how to counter-airborne.

As a result, Zhang Yong was surrounded as soon as he landed. In fact, the Japanese invaders currently have no professional airborne troops at all.

Even if the Japanese invaders have airborne troops a few years later, they will still be rubbish. Nothing to worry about.

"Commissioner!"

"Commander Wu!"

While talking, Wu Keren arrived.

Came by myself. There is no teacher around. All three division commanders were in position.

To be precise, it was an inspection on the riverside. To prevent Japanese invaders from going upstream along the Yangtze River. Attack from the river.

"How's the situation?"

"The information is unknown."

Wu Keren answered straightforwardly.

They had just arrived in Anqing and had not received any notification of the enemy's situation.

When will the Japanese invaders launch an attack and where will they launch their attack? How many troops will be dispatched...

Don't know anything.

We can only make blind guesses and deploy our own defenses.

"The headquarters doesn't know yet."

"Well…"

Wu Keren was silent.

Then there is nothing we can do. You can only rely on yourself.

Come to the 67th Army Headquarters.

In a landlord's compound.

The landlord and his family have all moved to Hankou.

Understand the situation of the 67th Army.

After withdrawing from Jinling, the 67th Army passed through Chuzhou and moved westward.

On the way, they gradually collected some broken soldiers from other units and added them to their own troops.

Along the way, some strong men from the fleeing common people were recruited. Replenish battle losses.

Some of the new soldiers sent from the rear also arrived one after another.

"Now, there are more than 33,000 people in the army."

"very good."

Zhang Yong expressed his approval with satisfaction.

The data provided by Wu Keren are similar to the numbers displayed by the system.

The strength of the 67th Army displayed by the system is 35,244. A little more than Wu Keren said. Maybe some haven't been counted yet.

"Chaos. It's chaos everywhere. A lot of security groups are running around."

"How to say?"

"In places like Wuwei and Songyang, the Japanese invaders had not even arrived, and the local security teams had disappeared without a trace."

"oh?"

"Lujiang, Tongcheng and other places also fled after hearing the news. It was basically a white field."

"oh."

Zhang Yong was not surprised.

These are indeed the most chaotic times.

There were no regular troops stationed at the southeastern foothills of the Dabie Mountains.

We have to wait for the defeat of the Battle of Xuzhou and the retreat of the troops in the Fifth Theater before there will be a regular national army around the Dabie Mountains.

However, even so, there are still many places that are beyond the reach of the national army.

At the same time, the Japanese invaders themselves were insufficient in strength. Unable to pepper.

These white areas, where no army is stationed, will be filled by a new army. That is the New Fourth Army.

"Are there any New Fourth Army troops nearby?"

"New Fourth Army?"

"Yes. Ever heard of it?"

"No."

Wu Keren shook his head.

He received no relevant news.

Zhang Yong's radar map didn't find too many yellow dots. Just a few here and there.

This shows that there are no organized units of the New Fourth Army near Anqing. Maybe it hasn't unfolded yet.

At this time period, maybe the adaptation has just been completed?

Forget it, let's wait for the New Fourth Army to straighten out its internal relations first. It seems quite complicated. It was also the cause of something that happened later.

Arrange for the delivery of weapons and ammunition.

The 67th Army is his heartthrob, so of course he must give priority to it.

There are not only light weapons, but also 20mm Suratung machine cannon and 37mm Bofors double-barreled anti-aircraft gun.

As always, enough cannonballs.

Can be used for air defense. Or used to hit solid targets.

Especially for horizontal shooting, the effect is very good against Japanese tanks. It can also be used to deal with Japanese invaders' small motorboats.

During the Japanese attack up the river, many small motorboats acted as vanguards.

Those small motorboats are equipped with 7.7mm heavy machine guns. It's quite lethal.

The average national army is reluctant to use artillery shells against such small motorboats. Or maybe there is no direct fire cannon. Only machine gun fire can be used.

Those Japanese invaders who fought in the vanguard were very fanatical. Tough. Not afraid of death. After several battles, the national army along the coast collapsed.

but!

All this does not exist in the 67th Army!

As long as the Japanese motorboat dares to appear, the 20mm machine gun will definitely teach it how to behave.

There is no need to use 37mm twin anti-aircraft guns.

"Commissioner, do you have any field artillery?"

"No."

Zhang Yong shook his head.

The 75mm field gun is in hot demand right now.

The Soviets did not have 75mm mountain guns. Only 76mm. It is said that it is also on the aid list.

However, so far, Zhang Yong does not know the situation yet.

Even if assistance arrives, it should be the first to replenish the main German weapon divisions such as the 88th Division and the 87th Division.

and…

"The Soviet artillery is very heavy and probably not suitable for us."

"That…"

Wu Keren hesitated to speak.

He wanted to say that if the Japanese warships went up the river...

Without field artillery, it would be impossible to fight!

"We have planes."

Zhang Yong gave the other party reassurance.

If the Japanese warships really charge up, the 75mm mountain cannon will be useless!

Even an antique like the Minekaze-class destroyer is not afraid of the 75mm mountain cannon. Because it cannot cause fatal damage at all.

However, it is different if it is an airplane.

The aircraft can carry aerial bombs. There are ones with a maximum equivalent weight of 500 kilograms.

If one hits, it will explode into two pieces. Even if the bullet is near miss, the damage is not small.

"Then it'll be fine."

Wu Keren was relieved immediately. Then laugh at yourself.

Forgot. The Commissioner not only supervises the 67th Army, he is also the star of the National Air Force! The aircraft can be mobilized at any time.

Fighters from Hankou Airport and Nanchang Airport can come to reinforce Anqing.

"The Japanese warships can't get on board."

Zhang Yong is full of confidence.

He suddenly felt that it would be very difficult for Anqing to fall.

For such a strategic location, as long as the defenders did not make mistakes, the Japanese invaders would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to take it.

The Japanese invaders were counting on warship reinforcements, so don't even think about it.

As long as the Japanese warship dared to come up, he would dare to send out bombers and sink it directly.

If the Japanese invaders send out aircraft for support, he can also send out fighter jets to intercept them.

Therefore, the Japanese invaders could only attack from land.

Attack Luzhou first.

Attack Anqing again.

As a result, Luzhou became a protrusion. There is a possibility of being besieged by Japanese invaders.

However, the protrusion also serves as a protrusion. It was to threaten the Japanese flanks. This forced the Japanese invaders to go north to attack Xuzhou without fear.

In one sentence, everything depends on man-made efforts.

Passive defense has no future, taking the initiative is the way to go.

Find an opportunity to attack from Luzhou and attack the Japanese invaders. To prevent the Japanese invaders from heading north without worry?

"Report!"

A staff officer came quickly.

Submit a telegram to Wu Keren.

Wu Keren finished reading. Pass it to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong finished reading. His brows were furrowed. A little unhappy.

Someone is acting like a monster again!
