958, set yourself on fire
Regarding the sudden appearance of the little Japanese devil in the large troop movement, although Bai Shujie knew, he could only say that he could not do anything.
Because he knew very well in his heart that he suddenly appeared on the South China Sea Islands and blasted the little devil out, and the resulting chain reaction finally broke out completely.
According to the inherent history, the Philippine Islands, Borneo Islands, Sulawesi Islands, and Papua Island should all be the territory of people's little devils.
With such a large territory, it required a lot of troops to garrison, and then start playing a game of peek-a-boo with MacArthur on one island after another.
But now the situation has completely changed, and it has changed beyond recognition.
The originally tragic battle for Kuah Island is now basically a tiger's head, and the two sides are over. After all, what will happen next, I'm afraid it will need to be broken down next time.
Because the Papua Islands, Mindanao, and Philippine Islands are not in their hands, all the actions of the little devils are in a state of worrying that the "China Devil" Bai Shujie will take advantage of the fire to rob and cause problems in his west.
Yamamoto Isoroku and Hyakutake Haruyoshi quickly decided to abandon the Bismarck Sea Islands after suffering a loss on Kuah Island, so the 2nd Division, which was urgently transferred, was not damaged and has now been engaged in fighting in Burma.
The worst thing is that the territory of the little devils has become greatly smaller, and now there is only one island of Java and one island of Sumatra, and although the resource plundering of the little devils has been compressed, the density of the troops has increased significantly.
Judging from the current situation, although he killed Masaharu Honma's 14th Army and successively destroyed the 65th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, and the 30th Brigade, because the defensive area was reduced by 60%, the little devil was equivalent to a sudden increase of 300,000 people.
Of course, Bai Shujie knew that Hou Zide was reasonable, and now the little devil was mobilizing troops, which was similar to the situation when he ate the Fourth Division, and it was the best time to take advantage of the chaos to take Java Island.
However, nothing in the world exists in isolation, and everything seems to happen by chance, as long as you analyze it a little yourself, in fact, it has its inherent inevitability.
For example, if the Japanese devils increase their troops in Burma and India, they will inevitably make the shameless Churchill burn his ass.
As soon as Churchill burns his ass, the lame Roosevelt gets the news, and then everything comes together.
Bai Shujie did not answer Hou Zide's question, but handed him a telegram in his hand: "You three take a good look, this is just received a telegram from Darwin from Chen Jie." Because the little devils increased their troops on a large scale, the British could not bear it, so they desperately called for reinforcements, and as a result, the first batch of aid from the Americans had already entered the Timor Sea. ”
Zhao Jinxi was anxious when he heard this: "In this way, if the fleet passes through the Banda Sea, it will arrive at Kuching Port in half a month." When the time comes, we will be more chaotic than the little devils, we will simply take care of ourselves, and we will not have a chance to do it at all. ”
Before Hou Zide finished reading the telegram, he had already scolded: "Damn, Americans are not things." When it's not good to send supplies, I have to make trouble at this juncture! He only needs to be half a month late, and Lao Tzu will have the overall situation decided. ”
Lu Ming picked up the telegram on the ground and said with a smile: "Brother Hou, Commander Hou: If the little devil didn't increase his troops in India and Burma on a large scale, how could it cause the little devil opposite us to be empty?" It is precisely because of the little devil's move that the Americans, of course, have to take targeted measures and make a big move. ”
Zhao Jinxi also smiled: "Yes, Lu Ming is right. None of these things seem to have anything to do with each other, but they're all connected. We already have an agreement with the Americans, so naturally we will be involved. This is the so-called League of Nations, and no one can set up a stage to watch the play. Brother Hou wants to be idle alone, of course he can only dream. ”
Bai Shujie spread his hands: "It's not that I don't want to take Java Island, it's that this neighborhood has become the most sensitive area now." The little devils gathered three of the eight fleets over, just across Vietnam and the Gulf of Thailand. If we move, the Americans and the British will say that we don't care about the big picture and will certainly sit idly by. ”
"As a result, the little devils hate us to the core, and absolutely concentrate all their forces against us, and the final outcome is that our people still have to retreat. A lot of troops are invested, a lot of ammunition is consumed, and nothing is gained, which is more than worth the loss. ”
As the first deputy commander-in-chief, Zhao Jinxi quickly made a decision: "I don't know what the Americans have sent here, but don't think about anything now." Quickly organize people to organize the port and prepare for unloading, and then assist them to send these things to the front line in India. ”
Americans are monkeys, better than rabbits.
Bai Shujie originally agreed to provide a port and land for the construction of the airport.
But when the matter came to an end, Bai Shujie realized that he was not thoughtful, and he said a very crucial word at the beginning.
Because he said one less word, a lot of trouble fell on his head as a result.
Yes, the Americans sent things over for free, and they were very thoughtful, so to speak, everything that was needed on the battlefield, was delivered.
The Americans came with a colonel liaison officer and brought twenty-four supervisors, but they didn't bring planes.
However, these things needed on the battlefield did not have long legs, let alone wings, and it was absolutely impossible for it to run to India on its own.
When Bai Shujie received Zhao Jinxi's report, his head was immediately clouded, and he hurriedly summoned the American liaison officer: "Mr. Liaison Officer, why didn't your transport plane come?" You have sent 20,000 tons of various materials at one time, can't you just put them here? Hurry up and find a way to get rid of it, lest people in the world still say that I have been corrupted. ”
The liaison officer was not in a hurry at all: "Your Excellency Commander, our president has said that your transport plane is much more powerful than our DC series, of course you will find a way to send it away." Of course, we can't sit idly by, and seventy-two transport planes will arrive the day after tomorrow. The second batch of 40,000 tons of supplies is already on the way, and it is naturally about to arrive. ”
Bai Shujie's heart suddenly cooled: "Seventy-two? The range of the DC-47 medium-haul transport aircraft is barely enough at 2600 km. But it can only carry half the load, that is, six tons, and seventy-two planes can only be four hundred and thirty tons at a time. Two batches of 60,000 tons of supplies, this will be the end of the year of the monkey? ”
The liaison officer said with a smile: "As far as we know, the transport plane of Your Excellency Commander seems to have a take-off weight of more than one hundred and twenty tons and a carrying capacity of more than fifty tons. If Your Excellency the Commander goes all out, he should be able to complete the transport mission. ”
Bai Shujie knew that this kind of thing was unbearable: "Yes, you are right. But I have only twelve transport planes, and I can only transport six hundred tons at a time. It would take more than 300 batches and more than 2,000 sorties to transport 60,000 tons of supplies. Because some materials are too large to be calculated by weight at all. ”
The liaison officer shrugged: "The order I received is: Your Excellency the Commander transports 30,000 tons of supplies, and the destination is Kunming Airport, which is for the Jiang government army." Your Excellency the Commander is a Chinese, and if you send something to your motherland, you won't talk about conditions, right? ”
Bai Shujie knew that he had been calculated, and he could only eat coptis dumbly, and he couldn't say anything.
However, Bai Shujie's face-to-face complaint is reasonable, that is, the Americans cannot be allowed to take advantage.
The maximum take-off weight of the Lanfang Republic's foreign transport aircraft is indeed 128 tons, but in fact, the maximum take-off weight of the current "Yun-10" large aircraft is 198 tons.
It carries 94 tons of fuel oil, has a payload of 58 tons, and has a range of 15,500 kilometers; Carrying 65 tons of fuel, 75 tons of internal load, or simply 25 tons of external load, the range can reach 11,500 kilometers.
Kuching Airport is less than 3,000 kilometers from Kunming, and only 35 tons of fuel is required for a round trip. To be on the safe side, if fifty tons of fuel are carried, one hundred tons of cargo can be transported at a time.
Bai Shujie called him poor and said that he only had twelve transport planes, which was the twelve transport aircraft brigade he was talking about. In fact, Bai Shujie had three transport aircraft brigades in his hands, a total of thirty-six planes.
Finally finalized their respective responsibilities with the American liaison officer, and Bai Shujie was a little relieved.
Then he received the radio frequency from the liaison officer to contact Wang Longyun in Yunnan, and Zhao Jinxi began to contact the Kunming side.
In fact, Bai Shujie was a little worried, because many of the materials that the Americans transported to Kunming in history were not used on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, but were snapped up on the black market.
For example, a quarter of the materials sent by the Americans this time were compressed convenience food on the battlefield, which was originally a measure taken by the Americans to enhance the enduring combat effectiveness of the national army. But in the hands of someone Jiang, it has become a sought-after commodity to make money on the black market.
Bai Shujie found Zhao Jinxi and said, "Jin Xi, secretly contact Yan'an." We flew 12 transport planes at a time, two of which did not land in Kunming, but flew directly to Yan'an. Everyone is an anti-Japanese team, and we cannot favor one over the other. According to one-sixth of the share, Lao Tzu was sent to Yan'an. ”
Zhao Jinxi made a comparison on the map, and then pinched his fingers and calculated: "A round trip to Yan'an is 9,000 kilometers, and you can only send 75 tons at a time, not 100 tons as you calculated." And the distance is too far, and two crews are needed to fly continuously. ”
Bai Shujie shook his head: "At the beginning, the Americans must have been staring very closely. But in the final stage, it will be a little looser. Find an opportunity to dispatch thirty-six planes at one time, and let twenty-six fly to Yan'an. At the beginning, the past two were just to guide Yan'an to build an airstrip. ”
In the next half month, there was a dense fleet of large aircraft between Borneo and India, and all of them were the most advanced transport aircraft, and it was impossible to go undetected.
Let's not talk about ordinary people, at least it has attracted the attention of those division commanders, brigade commanders, and wing commanders of the little devils.
Bai Shujie, the "devil of China", was full of food, and unscrupulously colluded with the Americans to aid the Indo-Burmese British army, causing huge losses to the imperial army!
This is the report received by the base camp of the little devils.
As soon as Hideki Tojo saw the information, he immediately became anxious: "Yaga! Bai Shujie's conscience is greatly broken, greatly broken, broken! ”
There is no such thing as absolute secrecy in the world, and such a huge transportation task will definitely come to light.
For the Japanese devil to lose his temper after knowing it, Bai Shujie had some scruples, so he naturally had some arrangements.
But what happened next was completely beyond the reaction of normal people, and it still caught Bai Shujie a little off guard.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
