Chapter 3: The Plan of Light
Iron Wing Eagle Raising Chapter 3 The Plan of Light
Season 4 Thief on the Airship Chapter 3 Project of Light
On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, Lukenard, who had been studying the battle plan in the middle of the night, was woken up, and in a daze, he rushed to the hatch and opened it, thinking in his mind that the fleet had been attacked.
In fact, when he is awake, he will not make such mistakes. It is impossible for a task force to be attacked while it is in transit, except in bad weather. Otherwise, the four "Eagle Eyes" in the sky belonging to the two fleets will become an ornament, and with these four guys, there will be no way to carry out a sneak attack on the submarines on the surface, in the air, or even under the sea.
After all, at this time, the range of the aircraft, the speed of the warship, and the underwater range of the submarine make them invisible under the gaze of the "eagle eye". It is already quite impossible to enter the reconnaissance circle of the airship without being detected in the slightest, and it is even more difficult to avoid the naval aviation, which needs to patrol and fly every day in the sky.
According to Luknar's official rank, the new technologies that will sharpen the "Eagle Eye" (completely secret content radar, infrared, television, laser, and so on) are being built in strict secrecy, and are being developed day and night in the "military scientific research" center that has been built together with the civilian scientific research center and has already been completed.
It is believed that in the next 3~5 years, it will be possible to prepare the troops. Sometimes, Luknall was really worried about the future German fleet, and when the confrontation with the Chinese fleet turned into a clash with the Chinese fleet, and there were no secrets to keep within a radius of thousands of kilometers, what kind of combat situation would be.
Therefore, if he was sober, he was already accustomed to quoting "Eagle Eye" to provide information for combat, and he was really confused.
Outside the open hatch was a crowd of naval officers who were not on duty, and although they were in the process of combat mission, the habit of "greeting the New Year" on the first day of the Lunar New Year still did not give up. Led by Cheng Biguang, the captain of the battleship Qingdao and deputy commander of the 1st Task Force, a group of officers were going around to pay New Year's greetings.
"Happy New Year, Sir, I wish you a ...... in the new year"
In the face of the salute of his subordinates, Lucknar actually reacted to him when he was a little embarrassed by his disheveled clothes. He clasped his hands into fists, came to a Chinese courtesy, and learned to speak strange German Chinese in his mouth.
"Happy New Year, everyone, Wishing you prosperity and Wishing you prosperity......!"
Then he hurriedly washed his face with cold water, and together with other naval officers, he went to pay New Year's greetings to those officers who were on duty, seamen, pilots, and mechanics.
The aircraft carrier was bustling with activity, and even in the spare space on the flight deck, a long dining table was set up, and on the white tablecloth was the food that had been brought with him when he came, and the only thing that was not there was alcoholic beverages. Of course, this has to be ruled out as a rheumatism, anti-eye tonic as part of the navy's rations, and happily Lucknar gave his soldiers a double portion today.
In the military, the length of the New Year is quite short, especially when they are burdened with combat missions, and it is only half a day, and if they want to complain, they can only complain that Japan is too close to China. However, the marines on the amphibious assault ship, Cai Yi's heavy division, and the light division under the command of Zhang Xiaohuai did not have so many scruples, and they had fun for two days in a row.
Two days later, on the third day, they were not happy, because they had already reached the waters of Japan and were about to prepare for a landing operation.
However, since the loss of the navy, Japan has been preparing for two months to resist the landing. The 12.7mm machine guns that were prepared overtime in the factory can almost be said to be all over the mountains. In particular, the shipbuilding industry at the Saseburg Naval Base, Kitakyushu Industrial Zone, Nagasaki and other places is under special protection.
These are all places that are vulnerable to the landing of the Chinese army, and they are also the most vulnerable to the attack of the other side. Here, it's like what the idlers say in the newspapers and radio in Shandong. Some people began to complain that Tang Yunyang did not immediately fight against the Japanese mainland after the Japanese navy was defeated, but ran to help the Germans.
Why to help the Germans, people who do not have strategic vision do not understand, and I will not explain them one by one here.
As in the previous landing operation, the first to enter the Japanese mainland was the special forces unit responsible for reconnaissance and guided landing. Under the cover of night, wearing rubber wetsuits and using paragliders, they were spilled into the weakly defended Seto Inland Sea of Japan by an airship with its engine turned off from the sky.
These guys, who were trained by Cheng Tianyun to be a little more dexterous than monkeys and more treacherous than mice, dived into the mountains and forests near Japan one after another, approaching their intended target.
Some of these special forces indicated targets for the landing force, some met the air assault division as air guides, and some simply infiltrated Japan for the purpose of destroying the enemy's heavy artillery. Due to the large number of teams, the tasks are extremely fragmented. Before this operation, it was predicted that there would be heavy casualties among the special forces.
Faced with this situation, Cheng Tianyun, who personally participated in the operation, only made one request to Tang Yunyang.
"Sir, please believe in the soldiers you brought out, we can guarantee that we will complete the mission, but I have one request. If we are badly wounded, please give us an extension! ”
Tang Yunyang agreed to this condition without hesitation, just think about the United States today, the total number of its citizens is not even a fraction of China's, but the number of special and professional troops is much more than that of China. Moreover, expanding the scale of special forces is also what Tang Yunyang has always thought.
After all, he knows from today that the specialization of infantry and squad-level operations are the only way for the development of the lightly armed army. Since this is the case, there is no need to shirk Cheng Tianyun's request.
Facing Cheng Tianyun, whose face was covered in camouflage, he nodded.
"I can do this request, if you come back, I promise to give you the establishment of division-level troops, and tell your brothers, if you can't do anything, don't act reluctantly, and withdraw to a safe place to wait for the army and navy to respond!"
Cheng Tianyun, who was about to act, didn't say much, just nodded coolly and said his very characteristic answer.
"Medium, sir!"
Since the landings in August, the special forces, who had never participated in combat, had been suffocated by frenzied training and had left airships off the coast of Japan in small groups every minute.
In the dark sky, they couldn't see anything except the fluorescent markings on the helmets of their teammates in front of them. The cold winter wind blows their floating figures in the air, and below them is the rattling sea.
In order to avoid the influence of Japan's mountainous terrain, their infiltration is to parachute out of the sea and dive in two rubber dinghys in small teams.
Almost 50 squads infiltrated at the same time, and it was impossible to be completely undetected by the Japanese. Skirmishes unfolded in the cold night winds of winter, but no matter how good the Japanese infantry was, they could not compare with modern special forces, whose training methods were a century ahead of their time, and they were even more silent weapons and absolutely ruthless killers at night.
Therefore, the Japanese side had nothing to gain except for preventing the landing of several squads, despite the huge casualties. The team that was stopped was just paddling for two more hours and the dinghy was going ashore in a different place.
Subsequently, skirmishes occurred. However, this made the suspicious Japanese army more and more reluctant to leave the solid defensive line they had constructed, because they guessed that a large-scale landing was imminent.
If you disperse your forces to hunt down these guerrillas, who are at best doing some small damage, you will fall for the other side's ploy to disperse your own forces. Therefore, apart from informing the various ministries about the situation, the Japanese army did not pursue these special forces in any way.
Also, they used to be on the Shandong Peninsula to protect the Japanese "Imperial Army" that was tormented by special forces, and they will all be under the guard of the leather whip to build bridges and roads that can never be built for Shandong construction. So where will the local "imperial army" know how powerful these guys are.
One day, after two days of waiting, the fog that shrouded the Sea of Japan lifted under a gust of sea breeze from the south, and the whole of Kyushu was like a girl stripped naked. The difference is that this time in the eyes of the observers of "Hawkeye", she is considered to have been laid, so she owes a ...... Finish.
"Three old ironclad warships at Fukuoka Naval Base, × long-range shore guns, and ...... ground defense"
If the Japanese Army had seen the situation at this time, it would probably have felt nervous. In the sky, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, there are 300 planes, and all kinds of bombs are hung under the wings, including napalm, rocket launch nests, and "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" personnel killing bombs.
Of course, there are also few armor-piercing shells that are airdropped and used to destroy fortifications everywhere. Of course, there is no shortage of these bombs with ordinary aerial bombs modified with large-mouth artillery shells. Their target, of course, was not the Japanese infantry fortifications near the shore, but the safety of the airborne landing field behind, as the Chinese fleet had done in the past.
The piles of bombs would have smashed the Japanese fortifications at the airborne field, the first to be included in the eyes of the "Hawkeye" observers.
If you look further up from the planes, there is a group of 200 airships carrying the entire air assault division. They were to follow the "safe passage" that would then be opened by air power to drop the paratroopers behind the Japanese defensive lines.
As for the defense of the Japanese army, it was still used at this time in the form of an ancient and back-moving line defense. According to the description of the armored forces, this is nothing more than a means of defense that penetrates with one blow and flattens with one push. Chapter 3: The Plan of Light
