Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to find the 2nd and 3rd Division, Feng Xiaoming's squadron has to set off before dawn every day these days. After flying for a long time, he comes back to refuel, has a hurried lunch, and sets off again until the sun sets.  We didn't return to the airport until sunset.

    Within three days of this kind of life, the entire squadron had lost a lot of weight. They flew more carefully to search for the Japanese troops. The pilots lowered the flying altitude from 800 meters to 500 or even 300 meters.  , many pilots lamented that once the Japanese troops were found, they could switch to flying reconnaissance aircraft.

    After searching for a while, Luo Gan started to chatter again: "Boss, in my opinion, this little Japan is not here at all. Unless they can become ants on the ground, even if they can grow wings in these days, we  We have found them a long time ago! Maybe they can still swim over!"

    "Um!"

    The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. As soon as Luo Gan finished speaking, Feng Xiaoming's body shook violently, his face quickly changed color, and he lost his voice: "Luo Gan, what did you say? Say it again!"

    "What's wrong?" Luo Gan's strange voice came from the headset, "Sir, I mean I can't find the little devil. He couldn't have come by swimming."

    "The enemy is swimming!" Feng Xiaoming shouted loudly, with excitement in his voice, "Luo Gan, change the course immediately and follow me." After saying that, he moved the control stick, and the entire Mustang fighter jet violently  Shocked, the nose of the plane also turned, and then suddenly shot upwards towards the sky like an arrow from a string.

    Dozens of seconds later, Luo Gan¡¯s voice came from Feng Xiaoming¡¯s headset, ¡°Sir, where are we going?¡±

    "By the sea!" Luo Gan only answered simply.

    Just when Feng Xiaoming turned around and flew east, in a small village more than two hundred miles away from Nanping, Bai Chongxi was also taking a walk on a field path, but it was different from the leisurely way ordinary people walked.  But from time to time he showed a hint of worry.

    As a veteran who has been in the military for decades, Bai Chongxi has the experience to match.  Although he has never commanded such a powerful force.  But that doesn't mean he won't use him. Since taking over all the troops and supplies of the Seventh Army in Fujian, Bai Chongxi has been more surprised the more he understands the details of this army.

    He found that although he had fully improved the strength of this unit before coming, when he got to know it personally, he found that he still underestimated the strength of this unit.  In addition to more than 200 aircraft, Bai Jingran's 400th Army also has a heavy artillery brigade containing more than 200 heavy artillery pieces, as well as a mysterious chemical defense battalion. This chemical defense battalion is equipped with enough poison gas bombs to destroy the enemy in half an hour.  Within a short period of time, all animals and animals in Nanping City were wiped out.

    ?Some people may say that it is a good thing that the Four Hundred Army has become stronger. Why is Bai Chongxi still frowning?  In fact, Bai Chongxi was worried for a reason. He knew very well that although he now held the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield in Fujian.  But behind him there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him.  Li Zongren from the Fifth War Zone and Su Rui from Guangdong all had their eyes fixed on themselves, because this war was their first war since they cooperated.  At the same time, it is also a test for Su Rui. If he cannot give a satisfactory answer in this test, although it cannot be said that he will not have the opportunity to lead troops in the future, his image in Su Rui's heart will inevitably be greatly reduced.  It will also affect your future status in this group.  So not only must he win this battle, but he must also win it beautifully.

    But the problem now is.  The two Japanese divisions moving south are still missing.  The situation of the enemy is unknown. This situation is a taboo for military strategists both at home and abroad, both ancient and modern.  The unknown situation of the enemy means that Bai Chongxi has no way to make arrangements and adjustments to the battlefield situation. It also means that he can only passively and tiredly deal with the next Japanese offensive. This situation is difficult for any qualified commander.  It's not allowed to say anything.  Because of this matter, Bai Chongxi has not had a peaceful sleep for several days.

    There was a slight sound of footsteps behind you, and Bai Jingran's voice sounded from behind: "Sir Bai, why are you here? It's easy for me to find you."

    Bai Chongxi stopped and turned around with a smile: "What? What do you want from me, an old man? Is there any news coming from the front?"

    Bai Jingran sighed softly and said: "Sir Bai, just now, news came from our intelligence stations in Zhejiang and other places. There have been no large-scale Japanese troops passing by these days. Both roads and railways are exactly the same as usual.  Nothing unusual."

    "Huh!" A trace of worry flashed across Bai Chongxi's face.  But he did not hide it from Bai Jingran's eyes. He couldn't help but said: "Sir Bai, now we can be sure that the two divisions of the Japanese army must be hiding in some secret place."??fall.  They are waiting for us to make a mistake and then bite us hard.  "

    Bai Chongxi interrupted Bai Jingran: "Then what do you think we should do now? Continue searching and waiting?"

    Bai Jingran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is also what puzzles the staff. In the past few days, the Air Force has investigated all the places in Fujian, and even went deep into Zhejiang for investigation, but the result is still no trace.  Combined with the news from the Military Intelligence Bureau, we have been able to confirm that the Japanese 2nd and 3rd Divisions are indeed not in Zhejiang. But what I still can't figure out is that the two divisions have nearly 60,000 troops.  , these are not 60,000 ants, how could they completely disappear?" Bai Jingran's voice was full of confusion and confusion.

    Bai Chongxi was silent for a long time and then slowly said: "Commander Bai, I have been thinking just now, the reason why we can't find these two divisions is that we have chosen the wrong direction of investigation all this time?"

    "Sir, you mean"

    Bai Chongxi said solemnly: "Ever since we got the information that the Japanese 2nd and 3rd divisions got on the train in Fengtian, we have always subconsciously thought that the Japanese must have entered the customs by land, and North China entered Central China.  Then they entered Fujian. But all of us have forgotten one thingThe Japanese still have a powerful force"

    Having said this, Bai Jingran's expression suddenly changed. He and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and they both said word by word at the same time: "Navy!"

    Bai Chongxi sighed: "Yes, all of us have forgotten that in addition to the army, the Japanese also have a powerful navy!"

    Bai Jingran¡¯s originally dark complexion turned purple at this moment. He patted his head in annoyance and immediately shouted: "Sir, we will send a plane to search immediately! We must find them!"

    "It's too late!" Bai Chongxi's face was full of annoyance, and he smiled bitterly: "The sea is not as good as the land. Although I am not proficient in naval warfare, I also know that the sea is vast and it is not easy to find a fleet. Besides, our Fujian Province is close to the sea.  Whether it is Quanzhou, Futian or Xiamen, there are enough places for the Japanese to log in. The Japanese have the maritime advantage. They can log in whenever and wherever they want. The initiative is in their hands, and we can only wait until they  We can only deal with it passively after launching an attack, so we are really at a disadvantage. And if my estimate is good, the Japanese fleet carrying two divisions should be ready to log in at a certain port at any time.  "

    "Asshole!" Bai Jingran's hands had veins swollen due to excessive force, and there was a look of annoyance on his face.  Not having a powerful navy has always been the shortcoming of the Chinese army. Although China has a long coastline, it does not have a powerful navy to match it. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, China has never had a fleet that can  A fleet that protects the security of its own territorial waters.  The saying "there is no defense against the sea" has been with China for half a century, and it has not changed even now.

    "That's right." At this time, Bai Chongxi suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Jingran: "Commander Bai, I heard that Zhongxin formed a fleet in Guangzhou last year. There are several destroyers in this fleet. That's it.  ?"

    Bai Jingran smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's true, but if Commander Bai wants this fleet to help, I'm afraid it won't work. Commander Su regards this fleet as his darling. He has long said that this fleet is  Our seeds, he will rely on this fleet to expand our own navy. Besides, if the Japanese really send troop transports to carry two divisions, their escort force must be terrifyingly strong. If they want to rely on just a few  A destroyer to stop them is nothing more than a pipe dream."

    "well¡­¡­"

    Bai Chongxi also sighed and stopped talking. At this time, he was full of strategies, but when the enemy pressed forward with absolute strength, he still felt that he had little power to fight back.  However, Bai Chongxi was no better than ordinary people after all, and it was not his style to sit back and wait for death. After thinking about it, he resolutely said: "Commander Bai, please send me an order immediately, and the Air Force 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Air Division will immediately send out no less than two squadrons of troops.  Troops, conduct non-stop patrols in the coastal area from Fuqing to Xiamen, and report immediately if any Japanese fleet is discovered!"

    "yes!"

    Bai Jingran agreed, but felt sad in his heart.  In his opinion, although such a search is not very useful, it is still better than nothing.

    When Bai Jingran was about to leave, an officer hurried over not far away.  Bai Chongxi took a closer look and recognized that he was a staff officer from the headquarters. Seeing his messy steps and nervous expression, his heart suddenly tightened. Could something serious have happened?

    As expected, this staff officer againAfter running a few steps, he panted and shouted: "Sir Bai, the air reconnaissance from ahead has reported that they discovered the Japanese fleet near Mazu Island!"
