Chapter 731: Marley
The two division commanders who arrived first at the airport were discussing there after answering Hu Bin's phone call at this time.
They now know what Hu Bin means, that is, they want to blow up the devil's airport first while the devil has not yet reacted, so that they can buy more time for the ground troops, and they can also buy more time for themselves, and their fighter group will not have to fight the devil in the air, after all, their actual combat experience is zero, and there are not many planes here in Yan'an. If you fall too much, you will lose a lot.
"Report, the airport has now completed the transfer of information from the front line, and our staff officers are making specific analyses based on the intelligence!" At this time, a staff officer came over and said to Zeng Zhiqiang.
"Let's go. Look at it, we have to figure out a way now, according to the commander's intentions, if there is a sneak attack, this battle will start before dark tomorrow! Zeng Zhiqiang looked at Zhao Xiren and said.
"Let's go!" Zhao Xiren also nodded, agreeing with his statement.
The two of them arrived at the staff room of the airport, and the staff officers inside were busy analyzing information, each staff officer had his own content to analyze, and in front of the staff room, a huge map was hung on it, and there were two ladders next to it, which were used by the staff officers to mark the situation.
"The devil has an airfield in Mandalay, there is an air defense division and regiment of troops, if you want to fight, you can only quickly sneak attack, fighters and bombers attack at the same time, bombers bomb the airfield, fighters solve the air defense forces on the ground, only in this way can we succeed in a sneak attack!" Zhao Xiren looked at Zeng Zhiqiang and said.
"Well, if our plane arrives at the devil's airport, it will be easy to fight, but who can guarantee that the devil doesn't know that we are here now? If they knew, they wouldn't have been unprepared. If they design to annihilate us, it is not impossible! Zeng Zhiqiang looked at the map and said.
"If this is the case, we can only use one division fighter to attack first, and the fighter of the other division will escort two division bombers from behind, so as to avoid being surrounded by devil planes, after all, our bombers' evasion ability is not as good as that of fighters!
We have also studied the Zero fighters, and our fighters have no problem dealing with them, but the bombers are the main force to be used by the future commander, so if we really want to make a surprise attack, we can only arrange a surprise attack like this! Zhao Xiren said.
"It's going to be fought, but we need more intelligence support from the commander's side, the commander will come over at night, we can take care of him!" Zeng Zhiqiang nodded and said.
The current intelligence is not clear, if you really want to sneak attack the devil's airport, as long as the devil learns the news an hour in advance, then the devil's airport will definitely be prepared, so if you want to sneak attack the devil's airport, you must do a good job of intelligence work in advance, and there is also secrecy work.
"Also, if the sneak attack is not successful, our troops may be in trouble." Zhao Xiren nodded and said.
Now in the whole of Yan'an, there are only 3 aviation divisions, one to defend the arsenal around Yan'an, so the troops of the remaining 2 divisions are all sent here, if the losses are heavy, there is no problem with the fighters, but there will still be a shortage of pilots.
Now the whole Yan'an is selecting a large number of outstanding soldiers to study in aviation schools, although there are many people, but there are not many who can graduate, and now this batch of pilots who have come over have not graduated, but they are relatively good, so they have been selected to the army in advance, and they still have to continue to study in their spare time! Therefore, for Yan'an, the plane is not a problem, the problem is the pilot.
On Hu Bin's side, Hu Bin was quickly giving an order, ordering all troops to push their troops to the edge 50 kilometers in front of Marais before it got dark tomorrow.
Hu Bin thought, the air force is coming, no matter how it fights, it can withstand the devil's bombers for a few days, and for a few days, Hu Bin wants to raid Marlai's defense line, if he can kill Marlai's devils, then his troops will enter the bunkers repaired by the devils, and they will also be able to avoid the bombing of devils.
Because now Hu Bin doesn't know whether his air force can win the devil's air force, Hu Bin is very confident in the planes equipped by the current troops, but for those pilots, Hu Bin doesn't dare to put too much pressure on them.
After all, they were all in the army before, whether they were ordinary pilots or commanders, they all ran on land, and it was only 8 months, and now they have to fly in the sky and fight devils, Hu Bin doesn't know if it can be done, so Hu Bin is also mentally prepared that these planes will all be shot down.
"Report, the support troops are now on the front line, and now all ten division commanders have come over!" A staff officer reported to Hu Bin.
"Okay, take them to the conference room next to them, and in addition, send some information on the front line to the past, let them take a look first, I'll come over later!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
Hu Bin is thinking about how to defeat Malai, Malai is the bridgehead of Mandalay, kill Malai, Hu Bin has a firm foothold around Mandalay, and then he can drive straight in, or he can sweep away the devils on the periphery first, how to fight, his own troops also occupy the initiative.
In addition, it is also for the British and the United States to see, China has the strength to defeat the Japanese troops, no matter how many troops Japan has, China can eat him, so that the support of the United States and the United Kingdom will continue to be sent to China.
Now the United States and Britain are losing the war, in Europe, in Asia, in the Americas, so if China can take Mandalay, it will be very helpful to boost the morale of the Allies.
"Commander, the latest information from Marlai, there is no movement, whether it is the strength of the troops, or the logistics supply, it is the same as 2 hours ago!" A staff officer came to Hu Bin's side and reported.
At present, the reconnaissance units on each front line have to report the situation once every two hours, and the staff officers of the headquarters have to analyze the information and then report it to Hu Bin.
"Very good, Lao Li, come here!" Hu Bin stood in front of the map, glanced behind, and shouted at Li Dalong, who was busy.
"What's wrong?" Li Dalong heard Hu Bin's greeting and immediately walked over.
"You come with me, Zhang Fan will send a map of Ma Lai in!" Hu Bin walked to a small conference room in the headquarters as he spoke, and Li Dalong also followed, Zhang Fan took a map and spread it on the table, then withdrew from the headquarters, then closed the door and stood there guarding.
"Come, look, tomorrow before dark, our troops will be able to reach 50 kilometers in front of Marais, there may be other troops who will not be able to arrive, but it doesn't matter, to fight a Marais, you don't need so many troops, so, I thought, raid Marais tomorrow night!" Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and said.
"Raids starting tomorrow? Isn't it in a hurry? If we want to raid, now we have 3 armored divisions, plus those cars controlled by our troops, we can only carry 4 divisions of troops over, but we have to deal with 7 divisions of devils, can we win? Li Dalong heard Hu Bin say this, and said in surprise.
"Hmph, 7 divisions, we have consumed a lot of them in the past few days, 7 divisions and regiments are 80,000 or 90,000 people, if it is their native troops before, I still have to think about it, now these divisions, at least two-thirds of the troops are these people in Southeast Asia, and the training is only more than half a year, our 4 divisions of troops, 3 armored divisions, and an infantry division, if you can't win, then you don't have to fight.
The troops of the armored division are a surprise attack, tearing the defensive line, and when the troops behind us arrive, it will be easy to fight, and I am ready to send 3 infantry divisions of troops to march quickly after they start to act, and it is expected that before dawn the day after tomorrow, they will be able to reach Marais, so that there is no problem in eating Marais! Hu Bin looked at Li Dalong and said.
"Huh? But, Commander, now that we have the Air Force, why are we still in such a hurry? Li Dalong nodded, and then asked Hu Bin why Hu Bin was in such a hurry.
"Can I not be in a hurry? There is no problem with our aircraft, and the performance of those aircraft is better than that of most of the planes in the world today, but our pilots are seriously lacking in both training and actual combat experience, especially the actual combat experience, which is zero, and the same is true for commanders.
You tell me, do you think I can put all the chips on our Air Force? Not only can I not hold it down, but our air defense brigade has been transferred to protect that side.
Our Air Force still needs to grow, we can't expect them to perform too well, planes are going to fall, I don't care how much they fall, but pilots have to grow. So I thought about taking advantage of the air force to come over, fight and dry quickly, and when our planes are almost exhausted, we probably will completely occupy Marais. Hu Bin heard Li Dalong's question, sighed, and said to Li Dalong.
"You say our pilots have never fought?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin in surprise.
"Eight months ago, most of them were ordinary soldiers of the army!" Hu Bin glanced at him and said.
"It's hard to fly a plane?" Li Dalong looked at Hu Bin and asked again.
"How so? It's hard to say, but if you want to kill an opponent in the sky, it's difficult, if you think about it, how many bullets do we need to kill an opponent on the ground, let alone in the sky! Hu Bin thought for a moment and said to Li Dalong.
"This, then these planes of ours, maybe, may not really play a big role!" Li Dalong said with a little disappointment. (To be continued.) )
