Chapter 496 Carpet Bombing!!

After several days of preparation, nearly a hundred trucks, under the arrangement of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, were all filled with various supplies. At the same time, almost every truck compartment was dragging a brand-new artillery piece behind it. Of course,

Among these artillery pieces, except for dozens of anti-aircraft guns from two air defense regiments, a mountain artillery battalion and 12 mountain guns equipped by the guard brigade, the remaining fifty or so artillery pieces are all redundant artillery pieces drawn from various places.

It is used as a gift from the military region to the Party Central Committee.

"Commander, this is the list of supplies we sent to the Party Central Committee. Take a look and see if there is anything else that needs to be added. If so, I can add it now..." Inside the headquarters, political commissar Luo Ronghuan took out

A list filled with various data was handed to Commander Liu Hua and said...

"Haha, political commissar, among the supplies you prepared, there is nothing missing. However, there is only one thing missing, and this kind of thing is a very important material for the chairman... Don't forget

, among all the heads of the central government, there are few who do not smoke. This time, we mixed a lot of American cigarettes in the Pingjin area, and they were all high-end cigarettes. They were left in the headquarters, so we might as well send them to

Central Committee, let the chiefs quench their greed... What I mean is, take the cigarettes we seized, put them on a truck, and give them to Chairman Mao. As for the rest, let them be distributed to the smokers in our military region, so that everyone can enjoy them too.

...." After reading the list, Liu Hua said with a smile...

"I forgot, I forgot, I was really too busy. I forgot about such an important thing. Damn it... Commander, I'm going to do it right away. Let the logistics department prepare a truck of cigarettes and send it to Chairman Mao of the Central Committee.

...." While speaking, Luo Ronghuan had already rushed out of the headquarters...

One day later, after all the work of the headquarters was handed over to Chief of Staff Li Qing, the entire transport convoy, under Liu Hua's orders, drove out of Taiyuan City and headed toward Yan'an, nearly a thousand kilometers away.

Drive away. At the same time, the accompanying guard brigade, cavalry brigade, two air defense regiments, and an engineering regiment also set off immediately with the convoy...

Among all the troops responsible for escorting along the route, more than a thousand soldiers from the Engineer Regiment, escorted by nearly a thousand cavalry from a cavalry brigade and a cavalry regiment, cleared roads through mountains and built bridges over water to build a complete route for the convoy behind them.

Driving channel. As for the remaining two regiments of the cavalry brigade, more than 2,000 cavalrymen are distributed on both wings of the transport brigade, responsible for detecting all enemy situations within ten kilometers around the convoy. As for the guard brigade, the two air defense regiments have nearly 10,000 cavalrymen.

The soldiers followed the two wings of the convoy on foot. The entire convoy, consisting of nearly a hundred large trucks, plus nearly 10,000 soldiers, stretched for a full length of four kilometers, and drove toward Yan'an in a mighty manner.

Of course, such a large convoy passed through the base area. In addition, the commander of the Shanxi Military Region, Liu Hua, and the political commissar Luo Ronghuan were both in the convoy. Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big thing and still hide it.

The eyes of the little Japanese intelligence officers in the military region. Just as the entire convoy left Taiyuan City, a piece of intelligence was sent from Taiyuan City to the hands of the Japanese army...

Faced with a huge amount of supplies, a large number of weapons and ammunition, especially the commander Liu Hua and the political commissar Luo Ronghuan who were mixed in the convoy. After receiving telegrams from intelligence personnel from various places, no little Japanese commander could not help but

Tempting. As a result, a combat plan for bombing the Eighth Route Army transport convoy appeared in the hands of the Japanese commander in Shijiazhuang...

"Gentlemen, everyone has read the information that the intelligence department has just received on their mobile phones. It can be said that this is the best opportunity for our North China garrison to avenge our hatred and wash away our shame. The entire North China garrison is under the leadership of Liu Hua

Under the attack of the Japanese army, it can be said that he suffered heavy losses and almost lost his combat capability. Even His Majesty the Emperor vomited blood several times when he thought of Liu Hua during the imperial meeting. Therefore, for the sake of the empire, for

Your Majesty the Emperor. No matter what, we must kill Liu Hua in this operation..." The supreme commander of Shijiazhuang, who was sitting at the front of the entire conference table, placed the telegram in his hand that he had read countless times on the table.

After getting on, he said in a calm voice.

"Hi, Commander, your Excellency is wise. I completely agree with your suggestion. In this operation, Liu Hua will be killed and the shame of our North China garrison will be washed away..." After the commander finished speaking, Gangang, the chief of staff next to him, stood up.

He stood up and said.

"Everyone, we all understand the situation. Do you have any opinions on how we should destroy this convoy and kill Liu Hua, the commander of the Japanese division, when we fight against the Japanese imperial army? Now please speak freely. Who came up with the method?

Adopt, who gets the credit for the success of this mission. I believe that after His Majesty the Emperor knows about this, he will definitely meet with this hero in person and praise him... Please speak freely..." the commander continued

said.

"Hi, Commander, I have a suggestion... Every time our army sends troops to the Eighth Route Army base area, it will be attacked by everyone from the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. This time, why don't we do the opposite and concentrate all the intelligence in the Eighth Route Army base area

The personnel continued to attack the convoy, and finally achieved the goal of destroying the convoy and killing Liu Hua..." Under the temptation of the commander, a captain who had suffered deeply from the guerrilla war immediately stood up and said.

"Nani, it is absolutely not possible to use guerrilla warfare against the Eighth Route Army. This will not only have no effect, but will expose all the intelligence personnel deployed in the Eighth Route Army base area in our empire. It can be said that it will have no effect. According to us

The intelligence collected by the intelligence department showed that the Eighth Route Army dispatched two cavalry regiments around the convoy to be responsible for security patrols along the way. Under the sweep of so many cavalry, with the convoy as the center, within a radius of several kilometers

, there is no place at all to launch an attack..." After hearing the suggestion just now, that he wanted to expose the intelligence network he had worked so hard to build, the director of the intelligence department immediately stood up and vetoed loudly.

"The highway from Taiyuan to Yan'an, as well as a large area around the highway, has been completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and there is not a single soldier of our Communist empire. Therefore, I believe that using infantry will never be able to complete this arduous task.

The mission..." At this moment, Colonel Oda, commander of the aviation wing stationed in Shijiazhuang, stood up and said loudly.

"Yoshi, what Xiao Tianjun said is very correct. It is basically impossible to complete this task using army troops. I wonder if Xiaotian Jun has any good suggestions on this matter..." The commander nodded and continued to ask...

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that we should concentrate all the combat aircraft we can to conduct a carpet bombing of the Eighth Route Army convoy. I believe that no matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is, they will not be able to escape our troops.

Carpet bombing..." Colonel Oda said firmly without any hesitation.

As the captain of the Air Force Colonel Wing, he can be said to have great admiration for the carpet bombing of the Air Force. However, due to the lack of resources in the empire, although he has been flying combat aircraft for more than ten years, he only has little respect for carpet bombing.

I have experienced it once. However, that bombing left a very deep impression on me... Thinking of the scene at that time, with the end of the bombing, the smoke that filled the battlefield slowly dissipated. Several people gathered in the wilderness

Ten tanks, together with thousands of soldiers, few people can continue to fight. Even those who are alive have been completely frightened by such intensive bombing and have lost their combat effectiveness...

"Nani, carpet bombing? Oda-kun, does this really work?" Not only the commander, but all the army officers in the entire conference room showed a look of doubt almost at the same time. After all, few of them have experienced it.

That bombing, coupled with the lack of supplies in the empire, meant that carpet bombing had only been seen in textbooks.

"Hi, Commander, gentlemen, the situation is like this... Therefore, I believe that as long as our army can gather enough aircraft to launch a carpet bombing of the Eighth Route Army convoy. I guarantee that the entire convoy, together with the

The nearly 10,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers who were responsible for escorting were all wiped out..." Facing the confused looks of everyone, Colonel Oda told his past experience verbatim, and then said with confidence.

"Nani, is this true? Oda-kun, if carpet bombing is so powerful, why didn't the aviation force carry out carpet bombing on our enemies during the battle against China? If so, we are

In the course of the battle, so many elite imperial soldiers would not have been lost?" an army officer said, still doubtful.

"This is absolutely true. The power of carpet bombing will only be greater than what I just said. As for our aviation unit, why don't we target the Japanese troops and launch carpet bombing? The reason is very simple. Various strategic materials of the empire

It is very scarce and cannot withstand this kind of trumpet. After all, the ammunition of a trumpet for a carpet bombing is more than ten times that of a normal bombing..." Colonel Oda said with certainty.

"Okay, gentlemen, I believe what Mr. Oda said. Don't make things difficult for Mr. Oda anymore. Mr. Oda, I completely agree with your plan. However, in order to launch a carpet bombing, how many bombers must we gather at once...

"In response to Colonel Oda's answer, the commander nodded thoughtfully. Then, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, he asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the size of the Eighth Route Army convoy, in order to achieve the planned bombing effect, I think it is best for us to gather a hundred bombers at once to bomb the entire convoy at the same time. Of course, if we can gather more bombers,

Bombers, of course the bombing effect will be better if we go there..." Colonel Oda replied affirmatively...

"One hundred bombers?" Hearing this astonishing number, the commander bit his head speechlessly. Because after the Ping-Tianjin area was attacked by the Japanese Army, an aviation wing staying at Beiping Airport also followed the attack.

The army was destroyed. At this moment, the entire North China garrison aviation force, plus the combat aircraft supported by the Kwantung Army, had a total of only more than a hundred bombers. And these more than a hundred aircraft also had to defend the Pingjin area that Gan Gang had recovered.

As well as supporting operations in several other important cities, it is simply impossible to assemble them all. Thinking of this, the commander smiled bitterly and said.

"Oda-kun, one hundred bombers are too many. According to the current strength of the North China garrison, only two bomber wings can be assembled at most. By then, these two bomber wings will all be under your command. I hope you don't

It failed all of our hopes... Destroyed the Eighth Route Army convoy and killed Liu Hua, the commander of the *** Division..."

Although, Colonel Xiaotian was very disappointed with the commander's answer. He was also very doubtful about whether he could succeed. However, he saw that everyone's eyes were all focused on him at the same time. Under the command of the commander

Under the officer's gaze, Colonel Oda nodded affirmatively and said: "Hi, Commander, I promise to complete the mission."

Just when the Japanese army began to deploy bombers throughout North China for a convoy of nearly a hundred vehicles, the convoy led by Commander Liu Hua had already left Taiyuan City for two days. At 150 kilometers per day

At a marching speed, the entire convoy has already left the Shanxi Military Region...

On the morning of the third day, after eating the marching breakfast, the troops started moving again. Under Liu Hua's orders, the entire convoy began to move forward at the fastest speed on the simple road.

OK...Commander Liu Hua and Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan are still sitting in the carriage of a truck as they were two days ago, discussing something...

"Commander, this is beyond my expectation. Two days have passed, and the little devil has not launched even one attack on our convoy. I really hope that in the next four days, the convoy can be like this

It was as peaceful as the previous two days, and we arrived in Yan'an smoothly..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a smile...

"Political Commissar, I think so too. But it's not like you can't understand the little devil's character. If you put such a big piece of fat in front of them, do you think he would take a bite? The reason why he didn't launch an attack two days ago

, because they are making preparations. I believe that as long as the little devil moves, the blow to us will be fatal. Therefore, no matter what, the troops cannot relax their vigilance. Tell the commander of the cavalry brigade to ensure that the convoy is within a certain radius.

There is no enemy situation within ten kilometers of defense. In addition, we must pay attention to air defense. If there is any situation, we will fire warning shots immediately. The road ahead is basically a plain. If the Japs launch an air attack, we will not even have a place to hide.

No..." Liu Hua shook his head and said.

An hour later, when Liu Hua was sitting in the constantly shaking carriage, squinting his eyes and about to fall asleep, the sound of a gunshot reached his ears. In an instant, Liu Hua, whose nerves were in a tense state, immediately fell asleep.

He opened his eyes and asked the guard beside him: "What else is going on with the gunshots coming from there..."

"Commander, what's wrong, the air raid by the Japs is an air raid warning issued by the Cavalry Brigade..." Before Liu Hua could finish his words, a guard who reacted loudly exclaimed...

"What, the little devil's air attack, what are you talking about? Order the convoy to stop immediately, disperse into the cornfields on both sides of the road, and hide. The guard brigade is responsible for assisting... The air defense group, make preparations for prevention and control immediately. All defenses

Control the artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, and the light and heavy machine guns of the guard brigade, and be ready for air-to-air shooting. I have only one order, and I must not let the Japanese planes drop bombs..." Liu Hua slapped his head hard and shouted loudly.

commanded.

"Yes, Commander... Tick tock, tick tock..." Immediately, an emergency horn sounded in the convoy. Upon hearing this horn that had been arranged in advance, nearly a hundred trucks immediately seemed to be acting like they were acting.

Dragging the artillery behind him, with the assistance of the soldiers from the guard brigade next to the convoy, he drove into the cornfields on both sides of the convoy.

Immediately, bundles of corn stalks were quickly thrown on the roof of the truck by the soldiers, hiding the cars around them. At the same time, two anti-aircraft regiments, thousands of soldiers, also quickly unloaded the anti-aircraft guns behind the trucks.

.The black muzzles of anti-aircraft guns were quickly pointed at the sky. Anti-aircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns also quickly raised their black muzzles. Everyone, in just a few minutes,

, and made preparations for air defense...

"Buzz buzz..." A huge roar of engines reached the ears of the soldiers who were busy on the ground. In just a moment, dense black spots appeared in the eyes of the soldiers. In an instant, countless people passed by

The soldiers who had gone through the drill immediately stopped what they were doing. The ordinary infantry immediately fell to the ground. All the machine gunners and air defense troops set up their machine guns and pointed their muzzles steadily at them.

Correct the direction of the plane.

"Damn, the Japs really think highly of us, and they sent out so many planes at once. Order all air defense forces, as long as the Japs' planes come within range, don't hesitate and open fire for me immediately. No matter what,

, we can’t even let the Japanese planes drop bombs..." Liu Hua said, looking at the densely packed Japanese planes.

"Commander, I estimate that what the little devils value is not the supplies we transport, but you. If it is the supplies of nearly a hundred trucks, the little devils do not need to use so many aircraft. It is obvious that they are targeting you.

You want to wipe us out in this bombing... Commander, you are really proud..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a smile.
