Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

This is no small task!

You know, the P51 Mustang fighter is a fighter, not a bomber. How can it carry out an air strike on Taiyuan?

Fighters and bombers are aircraft with completely different functions and performance.

Simply put, fighter jets are mainly used for air combat, and their targets are generally enemy fighter jets, bombers and other aircraft in the air.

Therefore, the flight maneuverability of fighter jets is generally very good, the speed is fast enough, and the air combat capability is strong.

The bombers mainly carried out ground bombing, bombing the ground targets of the "763" enemy.

Generally speaking, bombers have a relatively large load capacity, a long range, and can carry a large number of aerial bombs.

Precisely because bombers have poor maneuverability and self-protection capabilities, fighter jets are generally responsible for escorting bombers when they are performing bombing missions.

This is also the reason why Zero fighters appeared when the Japanese bombed the Xinzhongcun base before.

The Zero fighter was used for escort missions.

If the P51 Mustang fighter jets were to carry out an air strike on Taiyuan now, the effect would be very limited.

After all, there is no ammunition capacity at all.

It is impossible to carry large-scale aerial artillery shells to carry out air strikes and bombing of some important military facilities in Taiyuan.

Fighter planes of this era are not like those of the 21st century that can carry missiles and the like.

After all, the P51 Mustang fighter is not a bomber.

The P51 Mustang fighter is mainly equipped with machine guns and cannons.

A machine gun is also known as a machine gun. It is generally a weapon with a caliber greater than 20mm and a continuous firing mechanism. Its main function is to equip fighter jets to provide ground fire coverage.

Taiyuan is a big city.

It is not an endless plain. If machine guns and heavy machine guns are used to strafe at low altitude, the air strike effect will be very poor and innocent people will be hurt.

It is obviously unrealistic to use machine guns and heavy machine guns to fire at low altitudes.

But if you don’t air raid Taiyuan, the reward will be too tempting!

If the independent battalion obtains the M2A1 105 caliber howitzer, its artillery strike capability will be greatly enhanced!

After thinking about it...Su Zheng suddenly came up with a solution!

That is to modify the P51 Mustang fighter.

Just do it.

After returning to the battalion headquarters, Su Zheng said to Chen Yi and Xiao Ya in front of him: "Chen Yi, Xiao Ya, I am preparing to launch an airstrike on Taiyuan!"

Air raid on Taiyuan?

As soon as these words were spoken, both Chen Yi and Xiao Ya were stunned.

Do you dare to launch an air strike on Taiyuan with just one fighter jet?

Or is Su Zheng going to attack Tai Yuan?

Just one battalion dares to attack Taiyuan?

Isn’t that crazy?

Although the independent battalion now has more than 10,000 combat troops, it is not confident enough to attack Taiyuan.

It is conservatively estimated that the combat strength of the Japanese in Taiyuan and the Taiyuan area exceeded 100,000.

After all, there is not only the First Army in the Taiyuan area of ​​North China, but also the Second Army.

This does not include the Imperial Army, puppet troops and traitors.

Therefore, no matter how strong the independent battalion is, more than 10,000 people cannot defeat Taiyuan.

If the independent battalion grows to more than 50,000 people and is equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, it can capture Taiyuan.

Chen Yi and Xiao Ya both stared at Su Zheng in amazement, completely stunned.

I didn’t expect that Su Zheng, who had just obtained a fighter jet, would dare to attract Tai Yuan’s attention.

Is it really because of one’s skill that one becomes bolder?

Xiao Ya looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, are you going to hit Tai Yuan?"

Chen Yi: "We are now an independent battalion and want to attack Taiyuan. It's still a bit difficult, right?"

Su Zheng smiled and said, "No, no, no... I'm not going to hit Taiyuan!"

"I know my own strengths and weaknesses. Even if we go to attack Taiyuan with the strength of my battalion, we will definitely not be able to take it. There is no need to do such a stupid thing as trying to take advantage of a fat guy in one bite!"

"I'm planning to launch an air strike on Taiyuan, but the P51 Mustang fighters of our independent battalion are fighters, not bombers, so their bombing capabilities are limited!"

"Since we can't carry out ground-based fire bombing, let's carry out psychological bombing!"

"Chen Yi, arrange for the printing factory in our Xinzhong Village base to print 30,000 leaflets within three days. Print as many as you can. I plan to drop leaflets over Taiyuan!"

"Xiao Ya, prepare an aerial bomb. I plan to modify our P51 Mustang fighter a little bit and hang an aerial bomb on it. The target of the bombing is the First Army Headquarters!"

The P51 Mustang fighter is a fighter with excellent combat performance.

Although it is not a bomber, it can still be used if it is slightly modified and a bomb is hung under the plane.

Chen Yi and Xiao Ya understood what Su Zheng meant.

Su Zheng wanted to use both soft and hard tactics.

The soft way... is to launch a psychological offensive by dropping leaflets on Taiyuan City.

The hard way... is to accurately hit the First Army Headquarters with an aerial bomb, to scare them and intimidate them.

This is the main purpose of Su Zheng’s air raid on Taiyuan.

Wanting to carpet bomb Taiyuan with a single P51 Mustang fighter...that's unrealistic.

Moreover, there are still many civilians in Taiyuan City, so indiscriminate bombing is not appropriate.

Such an air strike arrangement is the best option.

Chen Yi and Xiao Ya both responded loudly: "Yes!"

Afterwards, the two of them went downstairs to prepare.

Immediately afterwards, Su Zheng called Shangguan Yufei again.

Su Zhengwang said to Shangguan Yufei: "Shangguan, how is our intelligence network in Taiyuan?"

The Skynet Intelligence Bureau has already set up its presence in Taiyuan, started to build an intelligence network, and formally established the Skynet Intelligence Bureau Taiyuan Branch. ...

Shangguan Yufei: "Captain, our intelligence network in Taiyuan is on the right track and is gradually infiltrating and developing. What's wrong?"

Su Zheng: "Well... very good, it's like this, I'm going to air raid the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan, you notify the Skynet Intelligence Bureau and ask them to give me the exact location of the First Army Headquarters."

"Only with a precise location can I bomb accurately!"

Shangguan Yufei nodded and said, "No problem, this is a small matter, I will arrange it immediately!"

The location of the Japanese First Army Headquarters was not confidential information and its exact location was easy to obtain.

Su Zheng: "Okay, let's arrange it immediately."

Shangguan Yufei: "Yes!"

Afterwards, the Logistics Department and Skynet Intelligence Agency were busy preparing for the airstrike on Taiyuan.

This air raid on Taiyuan is also an opportunity to show muscle and strength.

Let the Japanese know that the independent battalion is not easy to bully.

In this way, the Japanese would not dare to attack the Xinzhongcun base easily.

At the same time, it is also to test the combat performance and combat capability of the P51 Mustang fighter.

Therefore, this air raid on Taiyuan is imperative.

As for exposing the information that the independent battalion had combat achievements... there is no such thing as exposing or not exposing.

Because fighter planes are not small weapons and equipment, when the P51 Mustang fighter appeared in the Xinzhong Village base and the Xinzhong Airport was built, the Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel lurking in the Xinzhong base naturally knew the relevant intelligence information.

This means that the Japanese will definitely know that the independent battalion has fighter planes.

So whether Su Zheng goes to bomb Taiyuan or not, the Japanese will know that the independent battalion has fighter planes.

Soon, after some simple modifications, the P51 Mustang fighter could carry a small aerial bomb and leaflets.

At the same time, the specific location of the Japanese First Army Headquarters has also been found.

As long as you fly at low altitude, you will definitely be able to see the headquarters of the 3.0 Japanese First Army.

Everything is ready!

this day.

The weather is clear and clear.

Cloudless.

The weather is quite good.

Suitable for long-range air combat missions.

Xinzhong Airport.

Chen Yi, Xiao Ya, Shangguan Yufei, Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng and others watched Su Zheng board the P51 Mustang fighter at the airport.

Although everyone looked very worried about Su Zheng's actions.

But they also knew that there was no way to stop Su Zheng's air strike on Taiyuan.

Moreover, anyone with strategic awareness can realize that Su Zheng’s air raid and bombing of Taiyuan this time has a more important strategic purpose.

Su Zheng sat in the cockpit of the P51 Mustang fighter, waved to everyone, and then started the engine.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

The propellers spin rapidly.

Gusts of wind began to blow.

The P51 Mustang fighter began to taxi.

After gliding for a certain distance, the P51 Mustang fighter began to take off, flying at high altitude, and flew directly towards Taiyuan...

Chapter 376: Su Zheng takes command! Landmark air raid and bombing! (More updates, please subscribe)

So far, the Japanese have not fully understood the situation of the independent battalion's possession of fighter jets.

The Japanese and puppet spies lurking in the Shin-Nakamura base, including Nanzō Yunko...although they guessed that the independent battalion might have fighter planes.

However, they could not get close to the Xinzhong Airport and had not witnessed it with their own eyes, so naturally they had no way of confirming this information.

Since the information cannot be confirmed, it certainly cannot be transmitted back to Taiyuan.

In other words, the Japanese in Taiyuan now don’t know that the independent battalion has fighter jets.

Even though they knew that the independent battalion had aircraft, Taiyuan did not build a firepower network.

Because the Japanese have never taken the air force of the anti-Japanese forces seriously.

Naturally, no anti-aircraft firepower network was deployed.

Even the Japanese didn't have any advanced anti-aircraft weapons, at most they had anti-aircraft guns.

At most, after discovering enemy aircraft, they would dispatch Zero fighters to intercept and engage in air combat.

Even when facing the Zero fighter, the P51 Mustang fighter was not at all inferior.

So this time Su Zheng's air raid on Taiyuan was to catch Taiyuan off guard.

The problem is not big.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

Su Zheng was skillfully controlling the P51 Mustang fighter jet in the air.
