Chapter 1678 Risks and Benefits

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is no way to bomb the little devil's homeland now, because there is no suitable air force base. Even if there is a b-29 bomber, the Americans can only fly this bomber to take off from Chongqing.  Because the distance is too far, the advantage of the b-29 bomber's large bomb load cannot be used.  They need to use the main load for fuel, so that they can meet the needs of the round-trip voyage.  Originally, nine tons of bombs could be loaded, but in fact, only three tons could be loaded, and the remaining six tons were used for fuel.

    If you take off from Shanxi, it will be much closer than taking off from Chongqing.

    Even if it is the current b-25 bomber, if you choose a suitable site, it will be no problem to take off from Shanxi, fly to Japan, and then fly back.

    But this is only considered from the perspective of the range of the bomber.  If we consider this issue from other angles, then there will be a lot of trouble.

    Although it is said that the Eighth Route Army has large bases in Shanxi, these bases are not stable.  If the little devil found out that the American bombers used this place as a base, then the little devil would have to blow up Mao. No matter how many troops were dispatched, the base would definitely be destroyed.  At the same time, this will cause huge troubles for the Eighth Route Army. Little devils will take revenge. If they find out the location of the air force base, then needless to say anything else, they will definitely implement the Sanguang policy on the villages around the air force base.  I don't know how many ordinary people will be killed by little devils.  Such a bad idea like Qin Baoshan's is simply a firestorm.

    But Qin Baoshan still made this proposal, because it would be of great benefit to the Eighth Route Army, so that the Americans would get closer to the Eighth Route Army.  Since the airfield of the Eighth Route Army is to be used, the Eighth Route Army must be given a lot of benefits.  For example, it is impossible for Lao Jiang to withhold all those military materials. Under the pressure of the Americans, Lao Jiang will definitely provide a large amount of materials to the Eighth Route Army. It can be said that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.  And if there is an accident, then such a batch of bombers will definitely fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.  Although it is said that the military industry of the Eighth Route Army cannot produce aircraft, they can use various means to make an empty-handed white wolf!  Qin Baoshan fooled them to fly to bomb, but in fact he also had the idea of ??getting these bombers into his hands.  Of course, if you do it, you must be more cautious, so as not to annoy the Americans.

    However, this is just one of his proposals. It is still unknown whether the Americans will agree.

    Just now, when Major Kromlin heard Qin Baoshan's idea, he had already raised all kinds of questions. When Qin Baoshan proposed aerial refueling just now, he still held back and did not refute, but now he directly  He expressed all his concerns.

    "If you want to meet the requirements of bombers, the size of the airport must be huge. You need a hangar to accommodate the aircraft, and you need a large number of supply vehicles to meet the transportation tasks of the aircraft's fuel and ammunition. You also need to install various equipment, and you need a lot of equipment.  Ground crews, aircraft maintenance and other work. There is no such condition in Shanxi now. If we invest too much, then the danger will be very high. If it is discovered by the little devil, maybe this base  We will be attacked by little devils, and our thousands of ground crews and our large number of bombers will be in danger."

    The base areas of the Eighth Route Army are of course not safe. If the little devils are not active, the Eighth Route Army will expand the scope of its base areas.  If the little devils raided everywhere, the base area of ??the Eighth Route Army would rapidly shrink.  If you look at the North China Plain today, you can see that the base areas opened up by the Eighth Route Army have been eaten away by the little devils, and the area has been greatly reduced.

    As it is now, the Eighth Route Army still wants to set up an air force base in Shanxi to provide assistance to the U.S. Air Force that bombed the Japanese mainland. If the little devils know about it, they may not be able to attack crazily.  So Major Cromlin expressed deep concern about this.

    "Yeah, it would be very risky. But in order to bomb the little devil's homeland, we are willing to do anything. If you think this kind of bombing is too dangerous, then maybe you can change it. For example, we  Build an alternate airport in the Shanxi base area. Your planes flew over from Chongqing, landed at our place, refueled, and then flew to Japan. After dropping bombs, they landed after returning, and flew back after refueling. Everything was in the dark  In this way, the security will be greatly improved. What do you think?"

    Qin Baoshan's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a new alternative. Since this place cannot be used as a base, it should be used as a temporary transfer station.  In this way, the Americans do not need to send a large number of ground crews to stay here, and their safety is also reduced.?Guaranteed.

    Qin Baoshan's suggestion made Major Kromlin's eyes shine.  It's really feasible as an alternative.  Just treat it as a temporary gas station, then you only need to build a runway and guide it at night.  After they landed, they refueled, flew to Japan, and after the bombing was over, they flew over here to refuel, and then returned to Chongqing.  Although this has been a lot of trouble, it has greatly reduced the probability of being discovered here.  Everything happens at night.  During the day, it can be camouflaged.  Even the little devils found that American planes frequently appeared here.  Nor can they necessarily find a specific location.  Even if it is found, it will take time for the little devil to mobilize the army. If there is any trouble, the Eighth Route Army can find it in advance.  At that time, they will give up this air force base at a big deal, just don't use it.

    Thinking of this, Major Kromlin nodded with satisfaction: "Your plan is not bad, I will report your plan to the superior. If you can continue to bomb the Japanese mainland, it will hit Little Japan hard.  morale. Personally, I think the plan is doable."

    Qin Baoshan's heart was suddenly filled with excitement.  Although it can only be used as an aerial refueling base for them, it has somehow become related to the Americans.  If they want to use this base, they must give the Eighth Route Army more benefits.  Now I can't believe that Lao Jiang didn't bow his head and let him return all the ammunition supplies that he had withheld from the Eighth Route Army in the past few years.

    Just like walking all the way, I finally came to the field hospital.  Richard, who persisted all the way, finally saw hope.  When it was heard that an injured American pilot had arrived, the field hospital immediately became busy.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
