May 2nd, Du Qingming Headquarters
"Brother Jianchu, have all our supplies arrived? Have all the incendiary bombs and special bombs been brought?"
Du Qingming stood in front of the sand table and asked without raising his head.
"We have arrived a long time ago. Our incendiary bombs and special bombs were already in place the day before yesterday. Just Qingming, have you really decided to use special bombs?
Once we use this kind of thing on a large scale on the battlefield, I'm afraid we will fall into chemical warfare. At that time, this will be a double-edged sword. It can hurt the enemy, but it can also hurt ourselves! "
"Special ammunition, China has it, Citigroup also has it. If it is not used properly, I am afraid that it will be a chemical war with no distinction between ourselves and the enemy.
"I know! So I don't plan to use special bombs for the time being. I am just transporting them here to store them. If the Citi Army insists on forcing me to use special bombs, I don't mind using them.
It’s just that we need to be careful to face the challenge when the time comes! "
Du Qingming has his own thoughts, as long as Australia is completely taken over. With Tasmania in the hands of China, they can move their troops north to attack Papua Guinea, the Bismarck Islands and the Solomon Islands.
By then, it can be said that half of the process is completed when we gain control of the South Pacific region. But if Tasmania cannot be captured as soon as possible and left alone overseas, this will also be a threat to China.
Since May 3, 1943, China has continuously dispatched reconnaissance aircraft into the skies over Tasmania for reconnaissance.
Although Citigroup no longer has an air force, they still have air defense forces. Every time a Chinese reconnaissance plane comes, their biggest reliance is anti-aircraft artillery.
It’s just that sometimes there are too many reconnaissance planes, even at night, which makes Citigroup feel tired. But Barton and Stilwell also felt that China's investigation operations were a bit too abnormal.
It stands to reason that there are reconnaissance planes dispatched at night for reconnaissance?
But China has it! What are you investigating at night?
For this point, Patton and Stilwell have always been puzzled.
But they couldn’t figure it out, but there was a sand table that had never been touched in Du Qingming’s headquarters.
As the investigation time passed, more and more small flags were placed on the sand table, and the subordinates of the Citi Army began to slowly appear in front of Du Qingming.
Tasmania is indeed an island full of mountains and jungles, just like the information they obtained before.
The Citi Army’s positions are also located in those forests, relying on the natural forests to locate their important positions. Judging from the intentions of the Citi Army in this arrangement, it is clear that the Citi Army wants to rely on the jungle to prevent the Chinese army from using air strikes.
Generally in the jungle, the power of bombers' aerial bombs will be reduced to a minimum. Little damage was done to Citigroup soldiers in the jungle. It can be seen that Citigroup is also well prepared.
"Haha! The Citi Army really had a wishful thinking. If we really attack the Citi Army rashly, relying on their position, we can completely turn Tasmania into a meat grinder.
By then, even though we have sacrificed countless soldiers, we may not be able to defeat it! "
Du Qingming looked at the information detected by the reconnaissance plane and couldn't help but smile.
Who said intelligence cannot be detected at night? The fires lit by Citigroup at night, or other shiny things, can indicate the scope of activities of Citigroup and other information.
"There is nothing the Citi Army can do! Now that the Citi Army has lost air supremacy, it is simply impossible to mobilize thousands of fighter planes to compete with us for air supremacy in a short period of time.
Don’t forget that they still need to spend a lot of energy to support the European battlefield. In addition, their support is also needed on the island of Papua Guinea.
"Multiple battlefields require their support. In such a short period of time, how can they provide air force support?" "
In order to support the Ying country, the Citi Army itself has been in consumption, and the consumption is not small. Now China suddenly launched a war on multiple battlefields.
And each battlefield requires a large-scale air force. Even with Citi’s national strength, it is impossible for them to fully support the battles on each battlefield in such a short period of time.
"So we must capture Tasmania before Citigroup's support! Qingming, have you decided when to attack?"
Liao Yaoxiang looked up at Du Qingming and asked.
"Of course! The attack will begin tomorrow, May 7th! "
May 7, 1943, the weather was fine.
Today’s weather gives China an excellent opportunity.
Because Tasmania has a maritime climate, heavy fog often occurs over the island, which will interfere with the air force's operations.
But today, it’s sunny! Sunny day!
It was a clear sunny day with an unobstructed view. There was no heavy fog on Tasmania, and there was nothing that could obstruct the pilot's view.
More than 500 Stuka dive bombers and more than 100 B24 heavy bombers flew over Tasmania and began to circle.
Patton Command
Patton’s headquarters was set up underground in the jungle. He asked the soldiers to hollow out a place and then built the headquarters by pouring cement.
It is also covered with thick soil. With natural barriers like the jungle and the headquarters' own defense system, Patton believed that his headquarters was safe.
"What are these Chinese people going to do? Listen to this sound, it seems to be the sound of a bomber!"
Barton frowned, he didn’t understand what China was going to do. Why did they send a plane here?
This is a jungle area. Citigroup’s positions are all in the jungle. Bombers cannot play a big role in such terrain.
"I don't know! Maybe they want to try it?"
Stilwell said with a helpless shrug.
"I always feel something is wrong. Call the air defense observation post and ask what the Chinese are going to do. How many planes have they sent!"
"yes!"
And just as Patton was speaking, bombers in the sky began to drop bombs.
Bombs continued to fall into the jungle one after another, but these bombs were not ordinary aerial bombs. Because they are all incendiary bombs - napalm!
This type of napalm is called the most inhumane type of napalm bomb. After it falls to the ground and explodes, it will form a layer of flames and spatter around, emitting a high temperature of about a thousand degrees.
And it can stick to other objects and burn for a long time. It can be said that if anyone is stuck with this thing, congratulations, you are very unfortunate. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
