Chapter 186: Airborne Training
9.186 Airborne training
From the day Okamura Ninji's proposal was approved by Admiral Shunroku Hata, Kiike, located in the Japanese-occupied zone, became a city that had been cut off from the outside world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Japanese troops stationed in Guichi not only imposed martial law on the city, but also sent troops to control the main towns and villages near the city, as well as all the main communication arteries. Through the presidents of the maintenance associations in each village, the devil warned the people in the villages near Guichi Castle that they were absolutely not allowed to go out of the house during the day. Even at night, the Japanese only allowed the name of the village to move near his residence, and if anyone dared to appear near the road, he would be killed on the spot.
In order to make the villagers obey these orders, the Japanese army also kidnapped several hostages from each village and put them in a prison in Guichi Castle, and if the name of any village violated the orders issued by the Japanese army, then the hostages of this village would be pulled to feed the wolf dogs of the gendarmerie.
After such a toss, the area within a radius of more than ten miles of Guichi Castle has completely become the world of the Japanese! This is exactly what Kagesa Zhenzhao wants.
According to Kagesa's plan, these 3,000 Japanese troops must have the ability to parachute before several divisions reinforcing the 11th Army can attack, otherwise, the plan to surprise attack Huang Haoran's headquarters can only be a dead letter.
The failed night airdrop on the 6th Division has now become a scandal within the Japanese Army! There is such a typical example of failure in front of me, and I can't help but be careless with Shadow Sazhen Showa and Okamura Ninji.
The airborne operation carried out in Huang Haoran's hinterland this time really did not allow the Japanese army to be sloppy in the slightest!
Such a technical job must be performed by professional personnel! Kagesa Showa and Okamura Ninji don't believe in those nonsense that "the spiritual will can conquer everything", even if they get the airborne glider, the Japanese troops participating in this mission must go through a period of training to ensure that their combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected after landing.
Kagesa Showa and Okamura Ninji didn't want to make the low-level mistake of using infantry as an airborne force like General Shunroku Hata.
Since it was a long-distance attack, the airborne glider that was dispatched this time would be towed and taken off by a steel cable attached to the back of the Japanese fighters, and then detach and fly to the target area after flying to a certain height and distance.
The airborne gliders in the hands of Akira Showa and Okamura Ninji are quite advanced models, which can not only glide horizontally, but also climb high with the help of rising heating, and have better maneuverability.
In fact, this airborne glider is already very similar to that of a powered aircraft, with the pilot being able to steer the elevator and aileron with the steering stick and the rudder with the pedals. Despite its relatively small carrying capacity, this airborne glider can fly over heavily fortified lines at night without being detected, making it a very useful tool for launching surprise attacks.
Compared to the process of landing on the runway in a powered conventional aircraft, the experience of landing in an airborne glider is full of dangers, once there is a violent air flow in the air, or the glider pilot makes a mistake, then the unpowered aircraft will smash into the ground like a brick, and the survival index of the people on board is almost zero.
But all this, only those who are familiar with airborne gliders will know, how can the elite of the Japanese Army, who were transferred by Kagesa Showa and Okamura Ninji, know this?
Pride is the precious quality of the Japanese army, and it is also the biggest problem of the Japanese army! The thousands of Japanese soldiers who were secretly gathered in Guichi by Kagesa, Showa and Okamura Ninji were naturally no exception. Perhaps in the minds of these people, this airborne operation is just another journey by plane, and it is really a piece of cake for the elite infantry wing of the Kwantung Army and the elite special combat team under the command of General Shunroku Hata.
Looking at these ignorant and fearless Japanese officers and soldiers in front of them, Kagezazhen Showa and Okamura Ninji sighed in unison!
"What to do? Kagesa-kun, it looks like we're going to have to teach these bastards a lesson! ”
"Okamura-kun, just do as you say......"
Kagesa, Showa, and Okamura Ninji decided to give these elite soldiers of the Kwantung Army and the elite of the special operations team under the command of General Shunroku Hata.
So early in the morning of the second day after the arrival of these Japanese troops in Guichi, they gathered on the runway side of the airport to watch the first airborne training of the glider unit according to the orders of Kagesa Showa and Okamura Ninji.
As a result, during this airborne training, three gliders crashed and fell to pieces! If it weren't for the very prescient decision of Kagesa Showa and Okamura Ninji to use an air glider that was not loaded with infantry in the first airborne training, then on this day alone, more than a hundred Imperial officers and soldiers would have returned to the East!
After witnessing the cruelty of airborne operations, especially after visiting the mutilated corpse of the glider pilot, the Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in this airborne unit could no longer laugh! They finally understood that this battle was not a pleasant journey, and that there would be very few of them who could triumphant......
So in the following days, the Japanese troops who participated in the airborne operation launched crazy training! The members of the elite infantry wing and the special operations team of General Shunroku Hata, who were transferred from the Kwantung Army, repeated the same thing every day: they landed in an airborne glider to the outskirts of Guichi during the day, and at night they drove in a military car to the airport where they boarded, and so on......
Not wanting to die is definitely a very powerful motivation, and after continuous high-intensity training, this airborne unit of the Central China Dispatch Army began to gradually take on a little shape.
Now, it is up to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao to fulfill his promise and let Huang Haoran leave the heavily guarded Tianjiazhen fortress and go to a place where the Japanese army will carry out airborne operations!
"Kagesa-kun, now, it's up to you to do it!"
"Don't worry, Okamura-kun! I won't let you down! ”
Shadow Zuozhen smiled very confidently, looking confident.
Due to the Japanese army's strong secrecy measures, these events in Guichi successfully avoided the eyes and ears of the Wuhan government intelligence department......
**************************************************************************
When it was about to be dinner, Wang Zhaoming, vice chairman of the Supreme Council of National Defense, suddenly paid a visit to the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Knowing that the highest authorities were very disgusted with Wang Zhaoming's small group, Minister He wanted to find a reason to avoid it, but before he could explain his intentions to the adjutant, Wang Zhaoming directly broke into Minister He's office.
Due to Wang Zhaoming's public status in the government, Minister He could not offend Wang Zhaoming to death, so he could only dispel the idea of avoiding it, and asked Wang Zhaoming to serve tea with a smile.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Zhaoming, a veteran of the government, sat in the high position of vice chairman of the Supreme Council of National Defense and chairman of the National Council for Political Participation. In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Zhaoming's power in the government is only below the highest authority. But in the eyes of high-ranking government officials like Minister He, they have a completely different view, and the big figures in the Wuhan government know that the top authorities have given Wang Zhaoming nothing more than idle posts and no real power. It's hard to hear, Wang Zhaoming, the vice chairman, may not have more weight than a military commander with heavy troops!
So when facing Wang Zhaoming, Minister He behaved very calmly, he knew that Wang Zhaoming did not pose any threat to him..... (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
