Zhou Huangzu's expression was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Jianjun, you don't know about Chief Bai's situation. It's a critical moment now. What Chief Bai has to face in Nanping is three Japanese infantry divisions plus one battle group. The chariot division's pressure is only greater than ours. At this time, it's fine if we don't share the worry for the commander. Are we going to cause him more trouble?"
Deng Dazhi¡¯s face turned red, he lowered his head and stopped talking. He graduated from the Nanning Branch of the Central Army Military Academy and the third batch of the Army University General Officer Class B. Naturally, he knew the pressure Bai Chongxi had to face in Nanping. What he just said was just blurted out. As soon as he said it, he knew that he was wrong. Now that he was reprimanded by Zhou Huangzu, he felt even more embarrassed.
Seeing Deng Dazhi lowering his head, Zhou Huangzu gritted his teeth and said, "Jianjun, you should immediately prepare the military guard regiment. Whenever reinforcements are needed, they will be sent there. We must not lose this battle. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Deng Dazhi understood that Zhou Huangzu was going to fight for his life. The military guard regiment was already the last mobile force in Zhou Huangzu's hands. He sent this force that was originally supposed to protect the military headquarters to prove that He had already made up his mind to burn the boat. Deng Dazhi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, military commander. Whenever there is a danger, I will personally lead the guard regiment up. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield."
"Okay!" Zhou Huangzu looked at Deng Dazhi with admiration: "If a general has a will to die, a soldier will not be greedy for life. Brother Jianjun, you have the heart to serve the country. As a brother, why should I cherish this life! Don't worry, I will tell you later. We will organize all the military service personnel to form the last reserve team, and then I will personally lead the team up!"
"Military seat!" Deng Dazhi's eyes were moist. When Zhou Huangzu said this, he was clearly determined to die here
Just when Zhou Huangzu made up his mind to fight to the death, in the combat command room of the Seventh Army Headquarters far away in Guangzhou, Su Rui was also looking at the large military map hanging on the wall and pondering in the direction of Minqing. Liang Zhi on the side was also reporting the latest battle report to him.
"Sir, according to the report of our liaison officer stationed in the Seventh Army, the Seventh Army has now reached a critical juncture. The Japanese Second and Third Divisions are attacking us on a front of more than ten square kilometers along the Fujian and Qing defense lines. The army launched a comprehensive counterattack, and Zhou Huangzu commanded the 170, 171 and 401 divisions to fight very hard.
Since the reorganization of the Seventh Army was too short, there was no heavy artillery brigade. The entire army only had two artillery regiments with nearly a hundred artillery pieces. Including the artillery regiments of the 401st Division, there were only more than 160 artillery pieces in total. Therefore, they are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of artillery and troops. In addition, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of aircraft to reinforce Minqing. Therefore, the current main task of our air force stationed in Fujian is to compete with Japan's army aviation Air superiority, so support for ground forces is extremely limited. Now the war situation in Minqing has reached a critical juncture. Should we find ways to support them? "
Su Rui frowned and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked: "What about the security brigade? Can they get to Minqing on time today?"
"I'm afraid not!" Liang Zhi shook his head helplessly: "Wu Dali reported an hour ago that the roads in Fujian are worse than we expected. Although we have equipped the security brigade with a large number of cars, the roads there are really bad. Too bad, the security brigade has been rushing all the way, but now we are still more than a hundred kilometers away from Minqing. It is estimated that we will not be able to reach Minqing until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Su Rui was silent. The security brigade failed to detect Minqing on time. Logically speaking, Su Rui should have reprimanded Wu Dali, the leader of the security brigade. But after being a soldier for several years, Su Rui knew that war matters could not be solved by drawing a few lines on a map and giving orders to the troops. Reality is more complicated than planning. For example, this time the general staff underestimated the fragility of Fujian's road network, which was the reason why the reinforcements failed to arrive on time.
Thinking of this, Su Rui frowned slowly, and then asked: "Ziran. What's going on with our air force? It's been two days, and Zheng Shaoyu still can't drive away the Japanese plane from the sky over Fujian." go?"
"Judging from the current situation, it's still not possible." Speaking of this, Liang Zhi also showed a trace of anxiety on his face. "This time, Neji Okamura is probably determined to fight with us. In the three days since the war started, we have shot down at least more than 250 Japanese planes, but their planes are still like moths to the flames. A steady stream of people rushed towards us, assuming a posture of fighting us desperately. Zheng Shaoyu reported that we have lost more than 30 fighter planes in the past few days."
As the most elite and most powerful local armed force in China, the Seventh Army continues to steal food from the Japanese and expand its territory. In addition to the seventh groupIn addition to the hard work of everyone, one thing recognized by the Chinese people is that Surui has a very powerful air force.
Throughout the Seventh Group Army's previous battles, almost all of them were air forces that first seized air supremacy and bombed the enemy indiscriminately, and then the infantry followed closely. Relying on the quality of fighter planes far exceeding the Japanese army and its considerable quantity, in so many battles against Japan, the Seventh Army has never worried about the sky above its head. This is also the case with the Central Army of China and various countries. The biggest difference between the Lu Mixed Army.
There are good and bad aspects to this situation. The good thing is that due to the successive victories against Japan, the soldiers of the Seventh Army did not feel afraid when facing the Japanese army like many troops in China did after seeing the Japanese army. On the contrary, they felt kind Advantage. But the disadvantages are not without them. The most obvious one is that the troops are increasingly dependent on air support. When they encounter a position or fortress that is difficult to conquer, the first thing they think of is to call for air support.
Su Rui sometimes feels a little confused about this situation. Has he trained another American-style young master soldier? If there is no air support in the future, will this unit not be able to fight against the enemy?
But Suri didn't have any good ideas for this situation. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too, and there's nothing wrong with the Yankees' style of play. Wouldn't future generations of Yankees also rely on this to get their share of unpaid jobs? Are you happy working as a world police officer?
Su Rui frowned, then relaxed. To be honest, he was a little surprised at this time. He thought that after sending two pilots to Fujian, he would be able to gain control of Fujian's air power. However, he never thought that this old guy Okamura Neiji didn't know what happened. You have to fight with yourself like this. Does he really want to mobilize all the fighter planes of the Central China Front to fight him?
Su Rui rolled his eyes a few times and said with some confusion: "It shouldn't be. According to the intelligence we obtained before, the Central China Front's fighter planes are only more than 500 in full. After these few days of fierce fighting, his fighter planes are at least Half of it was lost. Does he really want to lose all his limited air power in Fujian?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Liang Zhi didn't know what he thought of and suddenly said: "Sir, I guess Okamura had this idea. It's not that he doesn't care about his fighter plane, but reality has forced him to do this.
Originally, Okamura wanted to send the 2nd and 3rd divisions to the rear of Fujian through the navy, but unfortunately they were discovered by our plane. In desperation, he had to change his plan and devote his troops to the battle for Minqing. As long as he defeated our three divisions in Minqing, he would have solved the game. By then, his four divisions can surround our remaining three divisions in Nanping to the north, and directly occupy the entire territory of Fujian to the south and even cut off all retreat routes for our troops in Fujian.
It can be said that as long as our three divisions in Minqing are defeated, it will be a matter of time before Fujian falls into their hands again. Do you think that since there are such great benefits, can Okamura Neji not fight tooth and nail? The loss of a few aircraft is nothing in comparison. Don't forget, the war potential of the Japanese is far beyond what our weak country can match. A few hundred aircraft is less than a month's production for them. "
Liang Zhi¡¯s words woke up the dreamer, and Su Rui finally woke up. Emotions themselves are still hampered by some experiences of later generations.
What era is it now? This is not that time in later generations. The aircraft of later generations are extremely expensive, often costing tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars per aircraft. For example, the purchase price of the F-22, which is known as the most advanced Yankee, has reached 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. Even if The US Air Force, which has deep pockets, purchased less than 200 aircraft.
And the unit price of the B-2 Phantom bomber, which is said to be the size of a small bird on the radar screen, is an outrageous US$2.2 billion, and only twenty are equipped in the United States.
And now? Today's aircraft are not as valuable as those of later generations. Their annual output can reach tens of thousands of aircraft. Even a resource-poor island country like Japan produces thousands of aircraft per year, and losing hundreds of fighter planes is nothing. Unfortunately, I thought that the Japanese would be timid after losing hundreds of fighter planes. Today they retracted the planes. It turns out that they don't care about this loss at all.
Thinking of this, Su Rui's eyebrows raised. He said fiercely: "Zi Ran, since the Japanese don't care about this loss, then let's help them again. You can transfer another flight group to Fujian. I don't believe it. Wait until I send the remaining planes If we kill him, what else can he use to compete with us for air supremacy?" (To be continued)
