Chapter 262 The River of Blood
The bald man is not stupid, and doing this is offensive. The rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the basis of his rule. It is not impossible to use fiat currency to make money, but at least it is far from that. Anyway, Yang Feng has many payment methods for payment, and he can still hold on for a while. It is a big gain for him to get a 30% discount.
This problem is done, and one more thing is the issue of the Sichuan Army's participation in the war. The Sichuan Army is basically Yang Feng's ally. Sichuan disaster relief has made this guy a life Buddha of Sichuan people. During the Battle of Rehe, Liu Xiang and others mobilized two armies to prepare to go north, but the war ended too quickly and they had not had time to set off.
"Don't worry about this. In the time of crisis, all the generals in Sichuan are all people who understand the righteousness and will definitely obey the orders of the Chairman." Yang Feng agreed without hesitation. Originally, Liu Xiang and others sent troops so happily in history, so naturally there will be no surprises now. Why not do such a kind of favorable person?
Yang Feng gave him face so much, so the bald man was naturally very satisfied. While he was happy, Yang Feng began to instigate him to bomb Japan.
"Chairman, for the Japanese, we must directly attack their hearts. It is insignificant to kill many Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. Now that Japan is in a recession, there are poor people in China who have no life. They all regard joining the army as a profession, and they make money by relying on this job. They don't care even if they die. Moreover, most of the Japanese men have received military training, so it is very convenient to replenish the source of troops. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people will not take it seriously for Japanese zhengfu at all.
But their factories are different, that is the lifeblood of the Japanese. If you destroy one of their divisions, the effect is not as good as destroying one of them. So if you want to end the war as soon as possible, there is only one way to bomb the Japanese mainland and keep bombing, just like the Martin bomber carrying a top half a ton of bombs. It is enough to bomb all cities along the coast of Kyushu, especially Japanese economic pillars like Hachiman Iron are also within the range of the Martin bomber. We can bomb it completely. Only by letting the Japanese understand that the result of the war is a loss-win situation, rather than believing that this is just a unilateral damage to us. Only then will they be truly afraid." Yang Feng said.
The bald man looked at him meaningfully, and he naturally knew that this guy wanted to lure him and the Japanese to death. However, bombing the Japanese mainland was a good way to force the Japanese to negotiate. Judging from the effect of Yang Feng's bombing of Tokyo, this was indeed the most effective method. I didn't see that this guy only exploded once. It forced the Japanese to look at the coast of Shandong and dare not take action.
Seeing him tempted, Yang Feng then said: "If the Air Force is really ready to bomb Japan, I can provide some help. Some of my pilots are very experienced in night bombing and are equipped with night vision devices. In addition, my navigation station can also provide escort for bombers, and can also support a batch of napalm bombs free of charge. We only play night bombing. We burn it every night. If the bomber is damaged, I can also let Chongqing imitate a batch of Martin bombers. This is not technically difficult. At Chongqing's level, everything else can be built except engines.
The bald man pondered, thinking about the consequences of doing so. If he bombed Japan, it would inevitably anger Japan and force them to take large-scale revenge on China. If nothing else, he would be afraid that they would bombard China's coastal areas, which would be a bit of a loss.
"Chairman, are you worried that Japan will retaliate against our coastal cities? "Yang Feng, who guessed that he was concerned, continued: "If that happens, then my bomber troops can use this as an excuse to join the bombing."
Speaking of this war, if he didn't say anything, it would probably have an impact on his reputation. Send a few bombers to support him and you can block others' words.
The bald man's eyes lit up immediately. If Yang Feng's bomber participated in the war, it would be possible to rely on bombing to force the Japanese to surrender. Moreover, Yang Feng's bomber participated in the war, it would be natural for fighter jets to participate in the war. Not to mention too much, even if he transferred a brigade of lightning to help him in the name of escort, there would be no danger in the sky in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Just as these two guys were conspiring to bomb Japan, the Japanese army of Kinshan Guard finally completed the landing, including the 9th Division and the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters headed by the bald man's old friend General Matsui Ishione, all completed the landing. Fujita Jin's losses did not affect Commander Matsui's ambition to fight to Nanjing to meet his old friend.
He knew the situation in Nanjing better than anyone else. He didn't believe that his old friend was qualified to play artillery. However, since the Third Division was indeed blown up, after a little rest, he divided into three groups, and the Ninth Division was equipped with a Duli Field Heavy Artillery Regiment to attack the Huangpu River defense line north, and pulled out a corps from the Third Division to sweep east to prevent crossing the river to attack his flanks in Shanghai. Fujita Jin led the main force of the Third Division to attack the Chapingjia defense line westward.
"You guys, don't be scared by a little setback. Nanjing has no technology and no financial resources to supply heavy artillery shells. This has been clearly stated from their stopping artillery. Take out the courage of the Imperial Japanese Army of the Imperial Army of Japan to tear the enemy's defense line with your bayonets. In front of you is the most prosperous city in the Far East, where everything you want, gold, women, and the glory of the conqueror. His Majesty the Emperor's loyal warriors, fight! Onboard!" General Matsui personally waved his saber to mobilize before the war. At this moment, suddenly the roar of bombs breaking through the air above his head, and then he saw five two-body demons pounced down from the clouds. Before the anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire, the five planes dropped bombs while stragging, and then immediately climbed into the clouds and ran.
Before General Matsui's saber was put down, there were already people and horses in front of him. Twenty huge smoke pillars rose slowly among the gathering Japanese troops. The smoke pillars were very consistent with his standards. That was called a sea of corpses and blood!
Of course, this small setback cannot affect the fighting spirit of General Matsui. The culprit in this situation is the cowards of the navy. Because air combat is really equivalent to suicide, especially those excellent pilots who fly Type 96 fighters have no room for fighting against the twin demons, so Takasu Shiro no longer lets carrier-based aircraft take off at all. Unless the Chinese Air Force attacks his fleet, the carrier-based aircraft and warships cooperate to defend each other. Without the cover of the fleet's air defense firepower, he will resolutely no longer waste the pilot's life, which also forces the army to attack forward with bombs.
Fortunately, the number of Chinese Air Force aircraft is limited, and it is mainly to deter Japanese carrier-based aircraft, so it only occasionally attacks the army. Otherwise, Matsui Ishien would be a little bit unconfident.
The Japanese army, stimulated by gold and women, didn't even have the corpses of their dead companions in the air strike, so they screamed and rushed to the Huangpu River defense line. The twenty-four 150 mm howitzers belonging to the field heavy artillery corps quickly arranged positions less than ten kilometers south of the Chinese military defense line, preparing to tear the enemy apart with cannons.
It’s not that the Japanese army did not know that there were heavy artillery from the Chinese army on the other side. And they didn’t know that the heavy artillery was far higher than their range, but before landing, Matsui Ishigen had received a notice from friendly people in Nanjing that there were no shells on the front line. Zhang Zhizhong made more than a dozen calls to urge the shells, and he already made it clear. There was no one shot now. If the Japanese army launched an attack at this time, the only heavy artillery that could still be used was the 105 cannon produced in Peking. It was precisely because of this information that Matsui Ishigen made the decision to attack.
But what he didn't know was that this was a completely beautiful misunderstanding, which Zhang Zhizhong said. But it was not that there were no shells. He knew very well that the efficiency of Nanjing's logistics department. If the situation was not serious, the shells would not be shipped to the rest of their lives! But those Chinese and Japanese friendly people didn't know this. When they heard that there were no shells on the front line, they would not show their friendship to the Japanese immediately, which would make Matsui Ishigen pit miserable.
The heavy artillery gang had just set up the cannon, and a small Hawk appeared above his head. The 25mm anti-aircraft cannon to the gang was ready to shoot down the invading enemy at any time. However, the Hawk did not lower the height and then attack, but circled over the Japanese heads.
The captain of the heavy artillery wing immediately had an ominous premonition, just as he ordered the Chinese military positions to be bombarded based on the coordinates sent back by the artillery observers in front. Suddenly, the whistling of large-caliber artillery shells came from above his head.
"Baga!" The captain of the regiment roared, and he didn't know who he was scolding! But no one would know this, because the first round of artillery bombing of the 130 cannon tore him into a bloody mist.
Twenty kilometers away from the Japanese heavy artillery position, the thirty-six 130 cannon barrels placed in the circular artillery position pointed to the sky, and the muzzle was spraying long flames, hitting one after another of the artillery shells above the Japanese heads. The commanders next to them were adjusting according to the coordinates transmitted by the school launcher with radio, and their target was already a sea of fire at this time.
"Baga! These bastards, these despicable traitors!" Matsui Ishigen looked at the heavy artillery position that was swallowed by the explosion of flames not far away, and his hands holding the saber were trembling, and the twenty-four heavy artillery were gone.
"Sent the 9th Division to fight the Huangpu River at all costs!" He shouted at the chief of staff beside him with a ferocious face.
The 9th Division, which lacked artillery fire protection, launched a charge of bloody seas on the other side of the Huangpu River. After the battle, the largest meat grinder began to operate.
Because there was indeed a lack of shells, the heavy artillery troops immediately stopped shooting under Zhang Zhizhong's strict order after destroying the Japanese heavy artillery corps. In this way, both front-line armies mainly fired artillery with caliber below 105. At this point, the Chinese army still took a little advantage. Wang Jingjiu's troops had twelve German-made 105 guns, which also suppressed all artillery members of the Japanese division in terms of range. In addition, he and Song Xilian each had twenty-four seven-five guns, and the shells were relatively sufficient.
There is no substantial gap between the two sides in artillery, and no one can really suppress the other side. In this way, the battle becomes a contest between infantry. Wang Jingjiu's two troops, who have perfect fortifications, naturally have an advantage compared to the Japanese army that needs to attack through the open Huangpu River. German equipment is no worse than the Japanese army. The dense bullets are so dense that the Japanese army that forcibly cross the river can be said to be floating corpses all over the river.
Matsui Ishien also made a desperate attempt. He knew very well that if he did not break through the Huangpu River as soon as possible, then as time went by, more and more Chinese troops would be reinforced, and the war would inevitably become the most unfavorable stalemate for Japan. Therefore, this old guy went to the front line to supervise the attack. In addition to forcing the traversal, he also found a shallow water area upstream and directly wades into the water and attacks with a brigade.
However, he wanted to use one division to force. In this case, it would be too naive to break through the defense of the two German armed divisions with strong fortifications. The battle continued until dark and the Ninth Division, which had suffered more than a thousand casualties, did not make any progress.
At night, taking advantage of the night to cover the cover. The Ninth Division launched another sneak attack, but Wang Jingjiu and Song Xilian opposite them were not stupid, so they had already made sufficient preparations. The Japanese army that attacked left half of the brigade in the Huangpu River. Now the Japanese army was relieved and no longer had the spirit of rushing over to grab money and women at the beginning.
However, the Third Division, which was sent to both wings by Matsui Ishiken, had gained a lot. The wing that swept east quickly cleaned up the Chinese army on the east coast of Shanghai. It was blocked by the Marines when attacking Gaochang Temple. Although he won, the losses were not small. The main force of the Third Division, which attacked the Chapingjia Line, was also hit by a hard nail. Although Sun Yuanliang was greedy for money and lustful, he was afraid of death, but he still had some tricks in the war. His troops were elite troops and fortifications guided by the Germans. If he could not stop the Japanese, the bald man would really have to shoot him.
However, on the second day, after the reinforcement of the 18th Division arrived, with the support of naval naval guns, the Third Division finally broke through Sun Yuanliang's defense line. In fact, the Chapingjia Line was abandoned in the entire defense strategy, so after being bombarded by large-caliber naval guns, Sun Yuanliang quickly gave up his position and retreated westward. While he was retreating, Zhang Fakui's troops had also arrived for reinforcements and quickly blocked the offensive of the Third Division.
Just as the Japanese army broke through the Zhapingjia Line, the Chinese army also added two divisions to reinforce the Huangpu River defense line. At the same time, two divisions were loading ships in Japan to prepare for reinforcements. Both sides increased their efforts little by little on both sides of the Huangpu River, transporting countless corpses and blood into the river that was only 100 kilometers long.
A river of blood.
Boss Yang felt very good, never before, especially after the bald man ordered the bombing of Nagasaki, the smile on his face never stopped. In the eyes of all the big guys in Nanjing, he was quite proud.
While the Huangpu River was fighting fiercely, the transport planes from Peking transported napalm bombs to Nanjing and quickly loaded bombers to bomb Japan. The first batch of twenty Martin bombers will take off from here. The transport planes will come with the bombing navigators specially equipped for bald men. These people have participated in the last bombing of Tokyo, and they will now bomb Japan for the second time.
In order to boost morale, Chairman Jiang and Boss Yang personally went to the airport to see off the warriors on the expedition. However, this bombing was quite confidential. Many pilots only knew what they were going to do now. However, there was no fear of having the precedent of Beijing bombing Tokyo, especially after seeing those navigators with night vision telescopes appear, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Chairman Jiang used his unclear Fenghua accent to mobilize pre-warly, and then shook hands with the pilots one by one under the camera of the reporter, the Martin bomber loaded with ten tons of napalm bombs began to slide and take off one by one and disappear into the night sky.
From Nanjing to Nagasaki, even bombers like Martin only had a range of more than two hours. Soon, these twenty bombers arrived above the target under the guidance of the Roland navigation system.
Because he would not pass through any Japanese controlled areas in the middle of this time, Nagasaki was not prepared at all at midnight, and even the few air defense positions on the ground were empty. After the navigator determined the target below through the night vision instrument, Xu Huansheng, the captain of the bomber brigade, immediately issued a bomb drop order to all aircraft.
Because the Martin bomber's flight altitude and speed are far inferior to those of the Liberator, if you carefully find the target at a low altitude and then bomb, it may give the Japanese enough reaction time. Once they fight back, it may cause damage to the bomber. So this time, they did not aim carefully. After flying to Nagasaki, they will be directly at high altitude. When they see where the buildings are the largest, they will throw them directly. Therefore, the ten tons of napalm bombs were basically all dropped into the Japanese civilian areas.
The wind was already quite strong along the coast, and the bombs fell more scattered, so shortly after landing, the fire area began to spread at an extremely fast speed. The bomber flew out more than ten kilometers and could see the raging fire behind. The bombardment eventually caused more than 5,000 civilians in Nagasaki, which caused an uproar internationally. No one dared to blame Yang Feng for doing this, but the bald man could not do so.
Japan is like a mad dog, accusing bald guys of crimes all over the world and even demanding that the League of Nations impose sanctions on China, especially severe sanctions on aircraft, especially the United States. Japan directly protested to the United States to protest against bombers sold to China by the United States to massacre their civilians. Of course, this designation is of no effect. Now the United States and Britain want China and Japan to fight harder! It would be nice if they didn't add fuel to the fire, and can they still expect him to put out the fire?
