Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

On September 11, 1942, before dawn, the northern section of the Jinpu Railway.

In the dark night, rows of carriages armed to the teeth were moving forward at full speed, pulled by the armored fronts. In the power room, several notebook workers worked round-the-clock shifts, all just to reach the destination as soon as possible.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Army Colonel Taro Kimoto, who had stayed up all night, rubbed his dry eyes. He had extremely severe dark circles under his eyes, and he looked exhausted.

After the colleague who was about to take over walked into the carriage with his adjutant, the old Japanese finally complained unbearably:

"Hey, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army Air Force would put such great pressure on us. More than twenty squadrons continued to fight, but they couldn't protect a railway transportation line of more than 300 kilometers."

"Also! Those **** railway guerrillas are so disgusting, they're as annoying as a bunch of bugs."

"After this battle is over, I will personally lead a team to sweep along the Jinpu Railway from south to north. I must completely eliminate those despicable people who only attack behind the scenes!"

In the increasingly fierce all-out war, the Eighth Route Army is always summing up combat experience and improving the combat effectiveness of its troops as much as possible.

The same is true for the Japanese, especially the Kwantung Army, which has the most elite equipment and soldiers.

As early as the preparation stage for Operation No. 1, Commander Umezu Yoshijiro speculated on the fatal threat of the Second Air Division to railway transportation based on the information and battle reports left by the troops stationed in Mongolia.

In response to the nearly endless air strikes, the response plan given by the old Japanese was very professional. He handed over the combat answer sheet of avoiding its sharp edges and combining air and ground.

Hearing the complaints from his colleagues, Army Colonel Akatsuka Kunio, who came to take over the shift, also sighed. This was the first time since the Battle of Nomenhan that their 23rd Division felt so aggrieved.

Sometimes, the old devil really wants to curse, if he has the ability to fight with real swords and guns.

Attacking from the air is the behavior of a villain.

Considering the challenges he would face next, Akatsuka Kunio finally suppressed his helplessness. He first secretly made up his mind to do something big in Shandong Province, and then comforted his colleagues:

"Kimoto-kun, you'd better take the time to rest."

"The next two hours will be a period of high incidence of enemy air attacks, and we can't even avoid it. Once a battle breaks out, I will definitely not be able to take care of it myself. Air defense operations require the coordinated command of your team."

"Hey, I hope everything will be safe and sound. We are about to arrive at Quancheng City, and I don't want to end up falling short in our efforts."

To put it bluntly, the so-called avoidance of the sharp edge means to transport at night as much as possible and use the natural cover of night to reduce the possibility of being discovered by the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

To this end, the Japanese not only used mesh, paint and other tools to camouflage the whole train in a natural way. They also tried every means to send agents to infiltrate the Jiaodong area and guard the movements of major military airports around the clock.

All in all, this operation focuses on giving in. The whole army is implementing the principle of "the enemy flies and we stop, and the enemy stops and we move."

This trick is indeed effective. At least the losses of the Kwantung Army now are significantly less than those of the Mongolian Army. But he is a bit useless, whether he is the mid-level commander accompanying the vehicle or the front-line intelligence personnel.

"Okay, I understand. Then the command will be given to you first. If you need anything, you can do it in time."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before Taro Kimoto finished speaking, a violent explosion forcibly interrupted his spellcasting.

Obviously, this was not the first time that the two old devils had encountered a similar emergency. They quickly grabbed hold of the fixed handrails in the car to prevent them from falling in the ensuing sudden braking.

Sure enough, with the harsh friction sound of wheelsets and rails, the entire transport train began to slow down in the most brutal way. Fortunately, the Japanese were quite lucky and finally avoided the tragedy of derailment and overturning.

"Beep beep!"

When the train barely came to a stop, whistles sounded one after another in the carriages.

After a while, the workers responsible for maintaining the railway and checking risks were the first to get off the train. They have a clear division of labor and are quick and agile. They are not afraid of ambushes on both sides of the road. They have obviously received professional training.

At the same time, nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers began to build defensive positions under the command of their respective squadron leaders.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were brought out, sandbags prepared in advance were placed in the most suitable positions, and the soldiers even wore plaster turbans that symbolized fighting to the end.

If the scene were changed to a large battleship, it would really feel like filming an "anti-war" movie.

"Kimoto-kun, where we are now, there are no tunnels or reinforced bunkers to protect the train. It seems that a battle with the Eighth Route Army Air Force is inevitable."

"I have called for Army aviation support. The nearest squadron can reach the battlefield in twenty minutes. The garrison troops on standby along the railway will also come for reinforcements. They are highly mobile reinforcements."

"I will command the position. You stayed up all night and your condition is not particularly good. Just be responsible for commanding the train's air defense system."

"Hold on! Workers are doing their best to make repairs."

After avoiding their sharp edges, it was naturally the Japanese's second move: joint air and ground operations.

In order to cope with possible air attacks at any time, Umezu Yoshijiro divided the northern section of Jinpu Railway into several grids according to distance, and arranged a highly mobile reserve team in each grid.

The equipment of these troops is mainly anti-aircraft weapons. Once any of their own trains is attacked or air raided, they will respond to the call and take immediate action.

There is no way, who makes the army have no radar to provide early warning. If you are backward in science and technology, you can only use the most primitive and stupid methods.

In addition, the Army Airlines deployed locally to the North China Front also adopted similar arrangements.

These quick-flying rookies were placed on standby by their respective superiors at a temporarily built field airport. No matter the time or place, once a train is attacked, they will attack quickly.

In order for the dispatching work of Operation No. 1 to proceed smoothly, Umezu Yoshijiro and Okamura Neji even made harsh words about the aviation fuel pipe.

This was also in 1942, otherwise the Army Air Force would have to lie down collectively before the war broke out against the Japanese.

"Okay! I'll leave it to Akatsuka-kun for that position!" "We keep in touch and must guard the transport carriage. We are only one step away from Quancheng. I will never allow the Eighth Route Army Air Force to act recklessly on the head of the 23rd Division. !”

After speaking, Kimoto Taro quickly ran to the rear command box. Under his unified dispatch, the entire armored train's anti-aircraft armament was quickly deployed, making it look like it was ready for battle at any time.

"Air defense battery! Full alert!"

In order to compete passionately with the Kong Er Division, the Kwantung Army almost emptied its own wealth.

On five different flat cars, the Japanese prepared a total of nine Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft cannons, two Type 1 37mm anti-aircraft guns and one Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun.

The main Type 98 is imitated from the Swedish 20mm Oerlikon. Its performance is very excellent, and its short-range air defense effect is far superior to that of the Jiuliu Shengun.

This weapon, unique to the Army, even comes with a dedicated commander. Being able to take out all the treasures at the bottom of the box shows that Umezu Yoshijiro is really determined to fight to the end.

······

Just as the 23rd Division was busy setting up its positions, eighteen monoplanes in all-black paint were rushing to the battlefield at top speed.

It is worth mentioning that the aerodynamic shape of these close support aircraft is very rounded.

With its strong and thick wings, coupled with the thick main landing gear and towering vertical tail, anyone can tell that it is an attack aircraft with mature design, strong power and excellent performance.

"Team Fang, the data of our new fighter jets are truly incredible. Especially the top speed and maneuverability at medium and low altitudes, which are several percent stronger than the previous Typhoon."

"Of course, what satisfies me the most is the appearance. Although he is a little fatter and looks a bit like A Chou's P-47 milk bottle, he is really handsome without the big chin. Let's see who dares to say that we are the second master of the air force in the future. The plane is ugly.”

"By the way, do you think there is a chance for an air battle with the Japanese Army Aviation today? With the maneuverability of the Storm fighter, I feel that our comrades can completely circumvent the Japanese Type 97 fighter jets, Type 1 Fighting Falcon and Type 2 Zhongkui."

That's right, the fighter plane Fang Ziyi and his team were flying on this mission was the famous Storm.

Please note that this storm is not an improved version of Typhoon, nor is it the Storm MK5 with a weight of 5.7 in War Thunder, nor is it the MK2 with a weight of 6.0.

If Fatty Qiu has a chance to argue with the Typhoon fighter jet, let's talk about the production license or the original source.

So in the storm, this old boy has no chance at all.

As an upgraded version of the premium product provided by the Awakening Brave Tiger system, the engine used by the Storm MK6 is the 7th generation Saber developed after the end of the war.

This piston engine, which is ahead of several larger versions, has a huge horsepower of 3155. This allows the brand-new ground-licking aircraft to fly at a maximum speed of 777 kilometers per hour in an airspace of 5,000 meters.

And thanks to the existence of the spring trimming device, the Baofeng MK6 has an excellent control feel.

Although its hovering performance is not as good as that of the last generation Mustang and Spitfire, it is definitely more than enough to deal with a series of fighter jets developed before 1944, such as Type 97, Type 1 and Type 2.

At this point, Huanghe can loudly announce that the Second Air Division has officially entered the Cold War era from today on.

The problem the Japanese will face in the future is no longer how to chase or drive away the ground lickers, but how to survive under the hands of comrades who have dropped their bombs.

Hearing the wingman pilot's complaints on the communication channel, Fang Zizhi couldn't help but smile. To put it bluntly, he doesn't like Typhoon's big-mouthed radiator either.

However, judging from the data provided by the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, the air resistance of the radiator, which everyone nicknamed the chin, is actually much smaller than imagined.

"Okay, everyone, please stop making trouble."

"However, I have approved the matter of air combat with the enemy. The actual combat data of the new fighter aircraft need to continue to be collected. This is a task assigned by Director Huang of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau."

"If we happen to encounter an enemy fighter jet after completing the bombing mission, we will attack it directly. So, remember to save more ammunition for the cannon."

As a ground-licking aircraft in the early Cold War, the Storm finally got rid of the common problem of short legs of British fighters.

With four large fuel tanks, its maximum range has reached 2,850 kilometers. The combat distance at this level has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

In terms of firepower, Baofeng can choose the level of aerial bombs according to mission requirements. Its maximum carrying capacity is two 500kg rockets, plus eight Red Sun rockets.

The cannons, of course, are the four Hispano MK5s.

However, each Western artillery piece now has a full 210 rounds of ammunition, and its firepower and endurance are much stronger than before. This is the greatest confidence that Fang Ziyi allows his comrades to engage in air combat with the enemy.

"Yes! Received! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

······

Five minutes later, Fang Ziyi and his party arrived at the Jinpu Railway smoothly.

Although the Japanese used many methods to try to hide the traces of the entire transport train. But the sun rising from the east still made it impossible for the Japanese hiding in the shadows to hide.

Looking at the enemy who was unable to move, the soldiers of the Second Air Division showed excited expressions. This is Storm's first battle, and everyone is looking forward to the performance of the new equipment.

"Comrades, according to the arrangements before the operation, let's attack!"

"I have only one request, and that is not to let down the trust of the railway guerrillas! The friendly forces have suffered a lot of casualties recently, and we must let the Japanese pay for their debt with blood!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziyi piloted his storm into a dive.

As the test pilot of this fighter, he is very familiar with the performance of the new equipment and has the ability to squeeze out the full potential of the seventh generation Saber.

The black monoplane fighter was seen poking out of the clouds, and then began to dive towards the Japs on the ground at a top speed of 900 kilometers per hour.

Mass-produced fighters that should not exist in the first place, coupled with exaggerated maneuvers that even the Antonians may not be able to perform, immediately plunged the Japs of the 23rd Division into chaos. (End of chapter)
