Just when Okamura Ningji thanked you again, Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Your North China Dispatch Army does not have many independent artillery units, and you must defend the Yellow River defense line, so it must not be easily mobilized. In this way, I will transfer some independent artillery units from the Kwantung Army. The troops give you the specific number is one 105mm howitzer battalion, two 150mm heavy howitzer battalions, one 105mm cannon battalion, one light mortar battalion, and one heavy mortar battalion.
These are all heavy artillery. No matter how strong the defensive positions are built by those soil eight roads, they will definitely be blasted into slag after a few shells. "In order to guard against the Soviet Army and send troops to the Far East at any time, the Japanese Army assigned almost 80% of its heavy artillery to the Kwantung Army, resulting in ten heavy artillery regiments with a caliber of 100 mm or more, and more than 30 independent heavy artillery brigades. 1. Using two regiments and three brigades of artillery to support the North China Dispatch Army will not have much impact on its artillery firepower.?
When Gangcun Ningci heard the words, he immediately said happily: "I am so grateful to Your Excellency Meijin. With these heavy artillery, the chances of defeating the Eighth Route Army and regaining Shanxi will be even greater."
Umezu Yoshijiro laughed: "You're welcome, oh yes, those Tuba Roads now have an air force, and the anti-aircraft firepower of your internal troops has always been weak. I will transfer two more field anti-aircraft artillery brigades to you!" Strengthen the anti-aircraft firepower! "
It's okay not to mention the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army, but Ning Ci's heart sank when he mentioned Gangcun: "Your Excellency Meijin, you don't know that the anti-aircraft artillery currently equipped by our army is basically unable to cause much damage to the aircraft of the Eighth Route Army. The bomber used by the Tuba Road is the b17 aided by the Yankees. The ceiling of this aircraft can reach 10,000 meters. Generally, the flying altitude is about five or six kilometers, and even the bombing altitude will be two to three kilometers. about¡¡"
Umezu Yoshijiro interrupted: "If this is the case, you can use fighter jets to intercept it!"
Gangcun Ningci said in a sad tone: "When the b17s of the Eighth Route Army bombed Linfen before, we dispatched two huge formations of about 100 aircraft each to intercept them. But they were countered by the Eighth Route Army fighter units. Intercept. In the end, none of the planes we dispatched came back.¡±
Although he knew that Shanxi's air force had suffered heavy losses, Umezu Yoshijiro, who didn't know the details, was shocked when he heard this: "How is this possible? The performance of the Falcon fighter jets we equip is comparable to that of the most advanced bf-109 and fire-breathing fighters in the world." It is basically on the same level as the American p40 and f4f. Even if you lose, it is impossible not to come back at once. Could it be that the number of fighter jets dispatched by the Eighth Route Army is several times that of our side? When did they have such a huge air power?"
Neji Okamura explained: "According to the witnesses, the number of fighter jets dispatched by the Eighth Route Army will never exceed 30, and they said that these fighter jets are propelled by tail jets, and their flying speed is very fast, and the speed may have exceeded 800 kilometers, and the weapons used. We have never seen it before. It is said that they can blow up our military aircraft into fireballs at a distance of several kilometers. But because we have not collected specific information about this aircraft, So all of this remains to be verified. But what is certain is that the fighter jets of the Eighth Route Army are very powerful, and by no means can they compete with the "Fighting Falcons" we are currently equipped with.
? ? ? ? Unexpectedly, when Meizu Meijiro heard this, he suddenly asked loudly: "You mean, you mean that the fighter jets of the Eighth Route Army fly forward by relying on their tail jets?"
? ? ? Neiji Okamura said suspiciously: "Yes! According to the soldiers who witnessed, when their fighter jets are flying, there will be long smoke trails behind the tail, which should be ejected from the plane. (Actually, it is not, correct The explanation should be that after the exhaust gas from the aircraft mixes with the surrounding air, the water vapor condenses to form a special cloud system, which is called the aircraft wake in the aviation flight industry and aviation meteorology.) What¡¯s the matter, Mr. Meizu, did you think of something? ?"
Umezu Yoshijiro said solemnly: "I heard that the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States are developing a new type of fighter jet propulsion by tail jets. This type of aircraft is an epoch-making weapon, and its speed can reach more than twice that of existing propeller aircraft. , and these are exactly in line with the characteristics of the Eighth Route Army fighter jets. Could it bewrong, that kind of new fighter jets, even the powerful Britain, the United States and Germany, are still in the development stage and have not yet been deployed. Where did those eight roads come from What did you get?"
Neji Okamura knew what he wanted to say: "No, even the mighty Britain, the United States and Germany are still in the development stage of that new type of fighter jet, and have not yet been put into service. It is estimated that the soldiers who witnessed it were dazzled. The Eighth Route Army is equipped with only a kind of propeller aircraft that we have never seen before.already! "
? ? ? Although Umezu Yoshijiro was still full of doubts, he had to admit that what Okamura Neji said was indeed the most reasonable explanation, and then he said: "In any case, the strength of the Eighth Route Army fighter jets is an indisputable fact. We must find a way Regain the initiative. Otherwise, the ground troops will have to be beaten passively. How about this, I will send you a flying team each of the latest dragon-slaying fighters and Zhongkui fighters of the Second Air Division. The performance of these two fighters is very good. Very powerful. It should be able to deal with the fighters and bombers of the Eighth Route Army."
The organization of the Japanese Army Aviation is completely different from that of the West. Its largest unit is the flying division, which is equivalent to the theater air force of the German Air Force. Each flying division is composed of two flying regiments. The flying regiment has ten flying teams under its jurisdiction, and each flying team is divided into three flying squadrons. The flying squadron is the basic unit of the Japanese Army Aviation. The standard configuration of its fighters is ten, but because of different combat missions, the actual number fluctuates slightly. Under normal circumstances, the number of fighter squadrons ranges from eight to twelve, and the number of bomber or reconnaissance aircraft squadrons is half that of fighter jets. That is, 4 to 6, rarely reaching eight.
Tu Long and Zhong Kui are the latest fighter jets equipped by the Japanese Army. Let's briefly introduce each of them below.
Tulong: The internal number k1-45, also known as the second type of re-combat, is a two-seat, two-engine heavy fighter that can perform various tasks such as long-range escort, ground bombing, interception bomber and night fighter, with a maximum speed of 540 kilometers per hour, The maximum range is 2,000 kilometers, and the maximum ceiling is 10,000 meters. The nose of the aircraft is equipped with two 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns, and the right side has a 20mm cannon that can shoot obliquely. There is also a 7.92mm caliber revolving machine gun specially used for shooting at the rear of the rear cabin. One 250kg and two 100kg aerial bombs can be mounted. It was the only fighter jet in Japan that could intercept US high-altitude bombers and conduct night operations. It is also the only heavy fighter equipped with twin engines.
Zhong Kui: The internal number k1-44, also known as the Type 2 fighter, was a high-altitude interception fighter used by the Japanese army in World War II. Because it was based on the Falcon type, Zhong Kui continued the light and agile style of the Japanese fighter jets. , with a total weight of only 2.1 tons, a maximum time of 605 kilometers, and a maximum range of 1,600 kilometers. on firepower. Zhong Kui is slightly stronger than the Falcon type. It is equipped with four 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine guns on the nose and wings, and can carry up to two 100 kg aerial bombs. In terms of performance, it was considered one of the most advanced light fighters in Japan at the time.
Say something extra. The reason why this fighter is named Zhong Kui. It is because in the early days of entering the battlefield, its main task was to suppress the P38 and P40 fighter jets of the U.S. military, and the P38 was also called a "ghost" by the Japanese army. Therefore, all the bosses of the Japanese army expected this fighter to catch ghosts like Zhong Kui. Annihilate all enemy planes. Hey, the Japanese in the second grade are so upright!
Both of these fighters were only in service in 1942, and the number of production so far is not large. And it is mainly equipped in the southern front army. In addition, only the Kwantung Army is equipped with two aviation teams. The Chinese Expeditionary Force has none.
Now Umezu Yoshijiro has provided half of the amount to support the North China Dispatch Army at once, which shows how much he is interested in Okamura Neiji!
Hearing this, Okamura Ningji naturally couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Umezu Yoshijiro's several times of assistance also moved him, and he said: "Your Excellency Umezu, I am really grateful. After the victory of this battle, I In the name of the North China Dispatched Army, I must ask His Majesty the Emperor for your credit!"
? ? ? ? Umezu Yoshijiro smiled and said: "They are all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. It is also necessary to help each other. You don't need to ask for credit. You still invite me to drink. I haven't had authentic Shanxi Fenjiu for several years. gone."
Gangcun Ning Ci sternly agreed: "If you want to pay for your credit, you must also drink it. I assure you, after the war, I will definitely go to Fengtian to treat you to the most authentic Fen wine and the most authentic Japanese cuisine."
Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Then it's a deal, Mr. Gangcun, I wish you great success in recovering lost ground and destroying all those annoying Eighth Route Army."
"Okay, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire to last forever, and for the Rising Sun Flag to fly around the world, I will definitely do my best!" Neiji Okamura said solemnly.
? ? ?
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The two former alumni, former superiors and subordinates, and lifelong comrades-in-arms ended the call amid such shouts.
After this incident, both of them changed their previous views on each other. And there is a faint sense of sympathy. They all hope that they can have a good drink in the next meeting.
What a pity! They are doomed to miss this chance! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
