Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

"There was a bug in the first few chapters. Saburo Endo should be the major general of the Army Air Force. I really couldn't find the commander of the Hainan Airlines, so I just named it randomly and then changed it after I found it. I wrote more than a hundred words. This section is free."

Yichang, Army Aviation Base.

"Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up and fill up the aviation fuel needed by all the fighter planes!"

"In addition to the 97 Heavy Explosion and 97 Single Light aerial bombs, the Type 97 fighter jets also need to be loaded with bombs! Every more bomb means more possibilities!"

"If that group of navy red deer take away all the credit, where should we put the face of our Japanese brother, the Air Force!"

Hearing the roar of their major general, every ground crew showed expressions of pain and helplessness.

In order to speed up the preparations, the entire staff of Yichang Airport was extremely busy. The Japs had been working since the afternoon, and they only regretted that their parents had given them less hands.

Logically speaking, a normal commander would not be able to find any faults at such a speed.

However, Saburo Endo was not an aviation major. He had been in charge of the artillery of the Kwantung Army for a long time. He could be said to be a typical layman leading an expert.

This old devil is not only a rookie but also has no humility to learn. As a major general of the Army Air Force, he doesn't even understand the most basic preparation procedures. He only beats and scolds his subordinates on weekdays.

In fact, many senior generals in the Japanese army aviation were transferred from different branches of the military. Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshi, the leader of the 3rd Flying Group and the defeated general of the Sora 1st Division, was originally an infantryman.

Frequent chaos is one of the reasons why Army Airlines is inferior to Hainan Airlines.

Just as Saburo Endo was about to return to his command post, a chief of staff hurriedly came to him. The other party's face was extremely pale, and one could tell at a glance that something unexpected had happened.

"Your Excellency Major General, something big has happened!"

"The 1st Air Division of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield and fought an air battle with the 11th Air Force of the Navy Red Deer on the outskirts of the mountain city."

"According to the intelligence fed back from various outposts, the enemy now has the upper hand across the board, and it is estimated that it will not take long to eat up HNA's first batch of attacking troops!"

"Nani!?"

As soon as these words came out, Saburo Endo was shocked.

This was not because the old Japanese suddenly realized what it means to be cold-hearted, but he was simply afraid that the Eighth Route Army Air Force would attack their Yichang Airport.

After the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Army Aviation Division in various regions basically changed their colors after hearing the news.

Not only is the opponent far ahead in terms of fighter aircraft performance, but they are also very ungrateful and will start a group fight every time a battle begins.

With both quality and quantity inferior to the enemy, the entire dispatched force, except for the Kwantung Army Army Aviation, was not qualified to fight the Eighth Route Army's air force.

Currently, there are three flying fleets stationed at Yichang Airport, with more than a hundred fighter planes of various types.

However, because the Army Aviation Group collected basic information about the Hurricane and Spitfire fighter jets, it was judged from the range that the First Air Division of the Eighth Route Army had no possibility of supporting the mountain city.

As a result, among the three flight teams, only the 60th team is in the combat branch.

The remaining 12th and 98th squadrons are all heavy bomber formations composed of the 97th Heavy Explosion.

If the Eighth Route Army, after taking out the Red Deer Navy, surprises them without saying a word, the three flying squadrons will definitely not escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

After all, there are only more than thirty fighter jets, and they are a force composed purely of fighter jets.

We can't let more than seventy 97 Heavy Explosives take off forcibly, leap over the enemy's heads and drop aerial bombs.

Those two flying squadrons are the most valuable treasures of the Kwantung Army. They were originally established to deal with the steel torrent of Maozi in the north.

Once the precious plane is destroyed at Yichang Airport, I am afraid that even if Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata comes forward personally, he will inevitably end up committing seppuku to apologize.

Thinking of this, Saburo Endo immediately said to the chief of staff and communications soldier beside him:

"Sound the air defense siren! Let all fighter jets take off immediately! Prevent the enemy from attacking from the west!"

"All 97 heavy explosions and 97 single light unload aerial bombs! Don't worry about the other issues, quickly take off and transfer to Dingjiazhou Airport and Yanglinshan Airport."

"I will notify the superiors. You are only responsible for retreating!"

The emergency evacuation order was immediately transmitted to every pilot's ears through the airport's broadcast.

Under the threat of death, all the Japs broke out to 200% cohesion. Type 97 fighter jets took off one after another, and then dispersed to the surrounding area to take on security duties.

The ground team also began to remove the hung aerial bombs and strictly implemented the orders of their major generals.

The deficient 1st Division had no immediate plans to attack Yichang Airport due to insufficient fuel and ammunition. Otherwise, Saburo Endo's arrogant operation of unloading bombs before the battle would definitely precede Nagumo Tadashi and become a joke for future generations.

······

Hankou, Eleventh Air Force base.

"Baga! What do you do for food!"

"Why haven't we contacted the first batch of attacking teams yet? Could it be that Fruit Preserved still has hidden aviation power that can kill the 96 land attack aircraft group escorted by more than a dozen Zero fighter jets!"

"Waste! They are all waste! Spread your legs! Raise your hands! Clench your teeth!"

As a war machine designed for the Pacific and Southeast Asia, the Nine-Six Land Attack is equipped with a radio station for long-distance communication.

When the attack fleet was about to arrive at the mountain city, the colonel who led the attack sent back a telegram in accordance with the rules.

But now nearly an hour has passed, and the battle report that should have been sent back has not yet been received. There are various signs that our advance troops are likely to encounter unexpected events.

In anger, Tsunayoshi Tsuchida directly took out the navy's heirloom spirit infusion stick. He was going to vent his grievances on the unfortunate group of communication soldiers in front of him!

Looking at the communications soldiers who were obediently getting ready, Rear Admiral HNA nodded with great satisfaction.

The spirit-infused stick in Tsuchida Tsuna's hand is half a meter long and five centimeters wide. In order to add weight to the wooden stick, he specially injected mercury inside.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a tortured soldier to walk out of the door standing, and the bruises on his buttocks will never fade away for ten days and a half.

However, the old devil doesn't care about such trivial matters. In his opinion, only physical punishment can instill the concept of victory in the soldiers. Only mentally weak and incompetent people will make mistakes due to lack of will.

"Snapped!"

When the first stick fell, the communications soldier staggered forward.

When soldiers were punished, not only were they not allowed to cry out in pain, they were also required to shout loudly while being beaten. Otherwise, the spiritual injection is unsuccessful and the punishment will continue to increase.

Obviously, Tsunaro Tsuchida was playing a little high. He didn't care at all about his subordinates' painful expressions, and even wanted to change to a thicker and larger spiritual infusion rod.

"Understand the spirit of our navy!"

"You must learn to recognize your shame and then be brave! Enter the noble battle order! You must assume the corresponding responsibilities!"

Serving in the 11th HNA Air Force is a very torturous thing.

The major general who was originally responsible for training the aviation force was Yamaguchi Dawen, who was famous for his strict training and unkindness.

During the 101 combat record period last year, several pilots died in training accidents while trying to complete the demanding and difficult training courses at Yamaguchi.

Privately, the soldiers called him the murderous commander.

After finally hoping for the stars and the moon, Yamaguchi Takan was sent away, but the lunatic Tsuchida Tsunayoshi came from the mainland again.

It seems that the old Japanese soldier suffered severe bullying during his school days and early days in the army. Whenever something went wrong, he would intensify the corporal punishment of the soldiers.

When receiving the spiritual infusion rod, the Japanese would be ridiculed and ridiculed, and often had to bear the insults of other people's words.

Such double psychological and physical torture caused the beaten communications soldiers to gradually have the idea of ​​​​subduing themselves. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he would turn around and fight back the next second.

But at this moment, the Chinese fleet commander, Admiral Shitaro Yuda, walked into the communications room.

The sudden arrival of the top leader made Tsuchida Tsuna stop corporally punishing the soldiers. And he waved his hand to signal all the communications soldiers to leave the room.

"Commander Yuta! Are you here to ask about the attacking troops?"

"I have just punished the communications soldiers responsible for liaison matters. It is estimated that the battle report from the front line will be sent back soon. Please wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence for half a minute.

As Shitaro Nishida sighed, a big cock slapped Tsuchida Tsunaira firmly on the face. In a sense, it was retaliation.

"Baga! You are also a waste!"

"The first batch of attacking troops have been completely wiped out! Do you know who the enemy is? It's the Eighth Route Army that you keep promising not to appear on the battlefield!"

"The news actually came back from the Army! I'm going to be embarrassed by you!"

As soon as he said this, Tsuchida Tsunayoshi fell into panic.

The meaning of his superior's words was very obvious. He had to bear the blame for the failure of this combat mission. The loss of fifty fighter planes of various types can definitely knock a major general to the ground.

"Your Majesty Commander! Please give me another chance!"

"In the days to come, we will also implement the No. 102 combat plan! You need a frontline commander to formulate various complicated combat plans!"

"Please spare my life! As long as the more advanced Type 1 land attack and more Zero fighters arrive at the Hankou base, I will personally lead the team to wash away the shame."

The so-called Operation Plan No. 102 was actually a bombing operation designed to further destroy Guo Preserved's will to resist the war and thereby force the people of the Republic of China to surrender.

This plan was put forward by Shitaro Nishida, who was the advocate and implementer of using air power to force the surrender of preserved fruits.

The old Japanese also made wild remarks in public on many occasions, believing that in order to quickly deal with the Japan-China incident, it was necessary to deal a devastating blow to the mountain city, and the aviation force was the main force of the attack.

It has to be said that he definitely has something in common with Meyer, who is recovering from his lollipop addiction. After all, Desan's air force thought the same way at Dunkirk.

Under normal circumstances, Tsuchida Tsuna's proposal just now would definitely be a successful flattery.

Even if you can't keep your military rank because of the failure of the mission, there is definitely no problem in saving your own life.

But who knew that after Commander Shitaro Yuda heard the battle plan No. 102, a very unhappy expression immediately appeared on his old face.

"Operation Plan 102 will cease to exist soon. Our superiors may be writing new orders!"

"Those damn Army Red Deer actually argued that bombing a mountain city is useless because of some small losses! They are all sinners of my brother's country! They are worms!"

"After you die, I will support your wife on my own, so don't worry about it."

Although Saburo Endo is only a major general, as a senior officer who worked his way up from the grassroots level, he can be said to be full of scheming.

Since arriving in Yichang and taking charge of commanding Army Aviation to attack the mountain city, he began to prepare a way out for himself.

After receiving the information about the disastrous defeat of HNA's 11th Air Force, the old Japanese commanded the troops to move to a safe rear while submitting the "Opinions on Inland Offensive Operations" that he had prepared long ago to his superiors.

In the letter, Saburo Endo pointed out that the bombing effects reported by the troops were too exaggerated. The mountain city has not turned into a ruin at all, but has been developing from the peninsula area to its surroundings.

After years of baptism, the people of the Republic of China seemed to have developed immunity and no longer felt much about the bombing. The idea of ​​subduing it simply through the power of aviation is absolutely impossible to achieve.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army Air Force already has a way to increase the range of fighter jets and can support mountain cities at any time. Even if the Army Aviation equips a large number of Type One Fighting Falcons, it is meaningless.

This move was a real blow to the bottom. It not only made the military brass give up the idea of ​​continuing to bomb the mountain city, but also allowed their troops to be transferred from the dangerous Yichang Airport.

He threw all the blame for the failure of the mission on HNA, and even washed away the sin of retreating without a fight in a few words.

After explaining everything, Shitaro Nishida left the communication room without looking back, leaving only Tsuchida Tsunira who was like a puddle of mud.

······

The perspective returns to the mountain city.

Half an hour after the Japanese Eleventh Air Force was completely annihilated, the lanterns in the city were gradually changed to green, and citizens hiding in major public air-raid shelters came to light again.

Thanks to the Kong 1st Division's clean resolution of the battle, the oxygen in the large tunnel was barely enough, and no large-scale suffocation tragedy occurred.

When the air-raid shelter door was opened, there were only some weak and sick citizens inside who fell into coma.

After learning the truth from relatives and friends outside the city, the people cheered and ran around telling each other in the city. After three full years, everyone finally waited for the Fog City Eagle capable of protecting the airspace.

Suddenly, the prestige and reputation of the border area once again experienced a surge. A world where only bald heads are injured has been achieved.

In Huangshan Villa, the treacherous gentleman and General Pig stood uncomfortably in front of their boss.

"It's too much to bully others! It's really too much to bully others!"

"The Desperate Foxes have crossed the border. The mountain city is where their Eighth Route Army goes wild!"

"You military commanders, please take action! Arrest a few people to scare the monkeys! We can't let them continue their propaganda in the city! Otherwise, what else can I, the chairman of the committee, do?"

"The Air Defense Command is also moving! Didn't a few Eighth Route Army pilots parachute? You must find them first, and ask me who is the plane that provided them with assistance!"

This chapter can be regarded as paving the way for the Second Battle of Tanzhou, so that the people in the central and southern regions will suffer less.

I will open a new volume tomorrow and work hard until 1942 to prepare for the Great Famine.
