Chapter 1420, I’ll take you flying tonight(1/3)
In the morning, Zhang Yong came to Commander Qian's office.
Commander Qian handed him a secret message. Only a few people knew it.
"so much?"
"Yes. Three bomber groups. Thirty-six."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded slowly.
It felt like the Soviets were a little out of control.
The last time the Japanese invaders carried out a suicide attack on Lanzhou Airport, they caused great losses to the Soviets.
This incident greatly stimulated the Soviets.
Of course the Soviets are not willing to give in. They still remember the feud in 1903!
Without any suspense, he reported back to his country and immediately increased his troops.
War is like this. It starts off as a small fight, but then it escalates.
As casualties increased, the hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper. More and more manpower and material resources were invested.
In the end, the two sides came to blows at Nomenkan and a bloody battle broke out.
Then the Japanese invaders withered.
"What suggestions do you have for bomber deployment?" Commander Qian asked slowly.
"Two brigades are stationed in Hankou and one brigade is stationed in Nanchang." Zhang Yong replied.
"That's it. I'll be there in the afternoon."
"good."
Zhang Yong is full of expectations.
He has been inactive for the past few days.
Night raids were originally possible, but were later cancelled.
The main purpose was to paralyze the Japanese airport for a period of time, and then dispatch a large fleet of bombers.
A fatal blow.
The Japanese aircraft did not move either.
Both sides are secretly accumulating strength in order to launch a more violent attack.
Intelligence from all parties shows that a large number of aircraft are stationed at the Japanese invaders' frontline airports, Taiyuan, Jinling, Hangzhou and other places.
Especially at Taiyuan Airport, the number of Japanese fighter planes exceeded 150.
Obviously, the Japanese invaders regarded Lanzhou Airport as the main target of attack. They would not give up until Lanzhou Airport was wiped out.
At the same time, the Soviet Union also had a large number of I-16 fighter jets stationed.
We don’t want all the backward I-15s.
The newcomers are all I-16s, and the pilots are all young guys.
There is no doubt that both sides are hoarding heavy troops. Once a war begins, the number is likely to exceed the upper limit.
Both sides are likely to dispatch hundreds of fighter planes. The scale is unprecedented.
caused a side effect.
It was the Soviet Union that asked Zhang Yong to be on call at any time.
As a result, Zhang Yong is now a little constrained and does not dare to make any big moves.
It is very possible that with just one phone call, you will be asked to go to Lanzhou Airport.
"Report."
"Come in."
The staff officer sent a piece of information.
Commander Qian asked Zhang Yong to take a look first.
Zhang Yong took it, glanced at it, frowned, and then nodded.
"What content?"
"The Japanese invaders want to expand Songshan Airport. They are preparing to assemble bombers at Songshan Airport."
"oh?"
"The long-range bombers purchased from the Italians. Model BR-20. The first batch has arrived, a total of forty-eight."
"Let me see."
Commander Qian took the information.
The information was sent by the Air Force Planning Department. It was based on a comprehensive judgment of intelligence from all parties.
Zhang Yong suddenly realized it later.
It seems that he is the director of the Air Force Strategic Intelligence Division.
He actually didn't know this information about the Japanese invaders purchasing long-range bombers from the Italians.
What a dereliction of duty!
What a dereliction of duty!
I didn't even do my job well.
The problem is, he doesn't have time to process relevant information at all!
Running around all day long. What I do is not my own profession. I am a proper fire captain and go wherever I need him.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
As long as you have an empty finger map, it is more useful than any strategic information.
If necessary, they can quietly go out at night at most to reconnoiter Songshan Airport, and then bring back the "intelligence".
After scanning the aerial map and combining it with the radar map, what is there that you don’t know?
You can even draw detailed deployment diagrams.
Mark all the oil depots, ammunition depots, etc.
Then when a large formation of bombers was dispatched, they bombed the map indiscriminately.
If you don't take action, it will be fatal. If you take action, it will be fatal.
Right.
reconnaissance……
Looks like I can go tonight.
Appear quietly without alerting the Japanese invaders.
"The Japanese invaders have a big appetite!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
Indeed, this action of the Japanese invaders was extraordinary.
The Japanese Navy already had Type 96 land-based long-range bombers, but they actually wanted to import them from Italy.
There may be two reasons.
First, the losses in the previous Nine-Six Land Attack were too great and could not be quickly replenished.
Second, it may be to unite with Italy and strengthen ties through military trade. This is the prototype of the military alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan.
It is now 1938, very close to the formal formation of the Axis Alliance.
Alas, I haven’t had contact with the intelligence community for a long time.
I feel like I have a lot of information that I can sell for money!
For example, Sudetenland.
For example, Mustache Blitz Poland.
I was busy fighting all day long and neglected to make money.
well……
But we can only accept reality.
After all, a person is just one person. He cannot be split into several and used at the same time.
There is movement in the portable space.
To be continued...
