It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers.

Meng Xiang also deeply regretted the devil's repeated successful escapes.

"Knock out one more, let the devil hurt and the flesh hurt!" Meng Xiang said to Fan Chong, "Persimmon first found a soft pinch, destroyed the 114th Division first, and sealed the Longhai line." ”

"Yes, the Longhai line has always been a threat to us!" Fan Chong nodded and said, "Then follow the No. 7 battle plan of the General Staff Department!" ”

For many battles, it is the staff officers who go first. In non-war times, all kinds of situations must be taken into account, and the General Staff is always collecting relevant information and formulating various plans. Many plans may not be used for a lifetime, but some can be taken out directly and slightly modified and improved when they are urgently needed.

"Yes!" Meng Xiang was also familiar with it for a long time, and although he couldn't remember it all, he knew the general framework of each plan.

Also on the 27th, when the devil had just received the annihilation of the 110th Division, a brigade and four teams of the 41st Division, 81st Division, 22nd Division, and 50th Division south of the Vanguard Army launched an attack at the same time, and the 57th Army and the 21st Army of the Gui Department also participated in the attack. Due to the urgency of time, these two teams are not ready, but the soldiers are very fast, and Meng Xiang does not expect them to attack the city, their task is only to wave the banner.

The 81st Division feinted to attack Shangqiu and actually attacked Dangshan. The 21st Army cooperated with the 41st Division's Hu Minghe Brigade to feint an attack on Xuzhou, and the 57th Army attacked from Tancheng, and attacked the 114th Division together with the 41st Division's Huang Huamin Brigade and Zhang Lingpu's Brigade plus the 22nd Division and the brigade commanded by Huang Baitao.

More than half of the 114th Division was wiped out, and after being replenished, half of it was crippled in Linyi, and only recently did it replenish some new recruits.

At this time, only one of his divisions was left in the Lianyungang area, and a few marines were cleaning up the port.

"Don't worry about the port, blow them up first." Yi Fuen said. This is what was planned before. Now the vanguard army does not need a port, it only needs to destroy the enemy.

The tactical bomber group he was responsible for consisted of only 30 Ju88A-4 bombers. Each aircraft is a group, three aircraft are a squad, nine aircraft is a squadron, and a group has 30 aircraft.

At this time, there were two wings in the vanguard army, one was a complete fighter wing, and this one was organized according to the normal 44 system.

Subordinate to a BF-109 brigade, including Type B and Type F.

Two P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft brigades. As for the FW-190, because the surname of the aircraft produced before the barrier of 41 years is not very good, and the aircraft produced after the barrier is only half price. The equally practical Mustang is also the product of 41 years of barriers, although it can be produced at this time, but the surname-to-price ratio is much inferior to that of thunder and lightning. Therefore, Meng Xiang still chose to use the thick-skinned thunder and lightning as the main force. 6 large-caliber machine guns are still invincible. Even if the devil's zero style comes out, it can be resisted.

The other wing is a combination of other aircraft groups, mainly two bomber groups, one transport group, and one dive bomber group.

A bomber group is the B-17 high-altitude bomber that Meng Xiang is accumulating, although it can also produce B-29, but Meng Xiang saw that his price was almost three times that of the B-17, and after the discount of the base, it was at least six times worse. In the face of the fact that the devil's air defense is not very strong at this time, the B-17 is enough.

It's just that when it was only half price before, because of the high price, the price of the B-17 was too high, even if the production was accelerated after the upgrade, it was only 21 B-17Bs. If you don't get together 50 planes, Meng Xiang doesn't plan to make a move. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the devils, there is only one best chance for an air attack.

Transport aircraft brigade with 3 squadrons of 12 aircraft and a squadron of 12 C-47s. This number is still increasing, and it will be read out in the future to form a wing of transport aircraft.

The dive bomber group consisted mainly of two squadrons of the Stuka D and two squadrons of HS-123 of the four-four formation. When there is no alternative aircraft with a higher surname price ratio for the time being, these two aircraft will remain in service. Of course, as Meng Xiang's pockets become more and more full, these two planes will also change. At least Meng Xiang already had a plan to move these two planes to the army. With the increase in personnel, it is better to deal with some problems as soon as possible.

Another bomber group is the JU88A-4 bomber group of Yi Fuen. This fight is also their first appearance.

The Germans were once very angry at the appearance of the JU88, but when they saw that the JU88A-4 of the Vanguard Army was more advanced than the A-1 they experimented, they had to participate in the cooperation with the copycat company to introduce more advanced technology. This kind of breath-holding was eaten by the Germans when the Vanguard allowed all sorts of Flying Tigers to use the BF-109B.

At that time, the Germans directly stopped the transportation of the Vanguard, but when the copycat company came to their door, they directly showed the F model, and then asked if they needed to supply the Flying Tigers F type, or if the copycat company cooperated with the German company to use the F type.

The Germans wisely chose to cooperate, and the BF-109B was already outdated. Similarly, as soon as JU88A-4 came out, their experiments were also a little outdated.

"Start attacking!" Yi Fuen directly ordered, taking advantage of the fact that the devil did not have air superiority at this time, the entire brigade collectively appeared in the sky above Lianyungang.

At this time, he had already discovered the arrival of the Pioneer Army's aircraft. Sharp air defense sirens echoed everywhere. But the bomber group had already selected the target according to the coordinates transmitted back by the reconnaissance plane, and the belly magazine had been opened.

After observing for a moment, Wittingenstein directly ordered his partners to drop the bomb. At this time, the JU88A-4 attacked, and the Germans even secretly came over with 22 pilots to participate in the battle, which just solved the problem of Meng Xiang's lack of pilots. There are four people on one JU88A-4, and even if not all of them are pilots, it takes up a lot of manpower.

The bomb fell with a scream. 30 bombers dropped bombs together, and it was like a hail in the sky.

In the belly magazine of the JU88A-4, 28 50-kilogram bombs could be placed. In addition, it can be equipped with larger bombs on the outer pylons. Because Lianyungang did not have a strong fortress that was too worthy of bombing, this time the vanguard army chose six 250-kilogram bombs.

The first bombardment of the unsuspecting devils is to drop as many bombs as possible on their heads.

"Hidden! Quickly order the troops to hide! The commander of the 128th Brigade, Major General Obaof, shouted loudly that in the last attack, the division commander Shigeharu Suematsu and the 127th Brigade were finished, and he also saved the complete 150th Wing because he escaped the catastrophe in Zhucheng. Because it also shouldered a certain responsibility, the base camp sent a new division commander, Lieutenant General Motojiro Taniguchi, to reorganize the 114th Division.

However, the last time it was attacked by the vanguard army, it had already greatly damaged its vitality, and the vast majority of those who were replenished into the division at this time were reservists and novices.

Hearing the screaming bombs falling from the sky, he didn't need to shout, and the devils were actively looking for a place to hide from the bombing, but all this seemed to be a little futile in the bombs in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom" was full of smoke and detonation from bombs, masking the monotonous sound of the six anti-aircraft guns.

"This is carpet bombing? It's like a carpet embroidered with flames spreading out on the ground! Chen Shufu looked down from the plane, and the flames were like red flowers blooming, and he couldn't help but admire.

According to the information provided by the reconnaissance plane, this time the bombers mainly aimed at the areas where personnel were concentrated in the front-line positions of the 114th Division. In order to prepare for the vanguard, most of the forces of the 128 brigade were gathered there. In order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy, the bomber formation tried a carpet bombing and dropped most of the large and small bombs directly in that area.

"Keep throwing, let's return and reload when we're done!" Lu Youde shouted loudly.

The ammunition consumed was so great that Yi Fuen's bomber brigade threw all the bombs in less than five minutes. But the effect of the carpet bombing was also obvious, and the flames and smoke had obscured the land.

The scene of nearly 1,000 large and small bombs falling and exploding in a few minutes shocked everyone.

"Ahh In such a situation, can you still hide from the bombs in the sky? Zhang Lingfu in the distance was holding a telescope and looking at this side, and couldn't help but speak. In the past, as long as you saw and heard the bombing of the devil's plane, you could basically avoid it, and you were afraid of the machine guns of the devil's plane. But the bombing of this situation is unavoidable, shrapnel is flying everywhere, and flames are rising everywhere. In such an environment, one can only pray for luck.

"This kind of bombing can be regarded as carpet bombing!" Huang Huamin is also lamenting that he is in poor condition due to the simulated carpet bombing, all the way downhill. But the artillery and machine-gun attacks were still far worse than the roar of hundreds of bombs now.

"There are still few planes!" Meng Xiang sighed when he heard this, others were shocked by the power of carpet bombing, but he was ashamed to say that without the bombardment of a hundred bombers, he was embarrassed to say that he was bombing. Seeing the war footage of later generations, he still feels that he lacks a lot of bombing of this plane. But Meng Xiang also ignored that live viewing and image viewing are definitely two different concepts.

The immersive experience feels even different.

"Ahh The commander of the 150th Wing, Yamamoto Shigetoku Nakasa, dragged a broken arm and stood on the ground and howled loudly into the sky. After just a few minutes of bombardment, there were not many living people in his wing.
