"One, two, three..."
In the field airfield near the 358 Lions' station, a group of generals held their heads high, craned their necks and looked at the giant transport planes landing one by one in the distance, their mouths wide open, and their eyes widened.
It's all shocking.
They were abroad with the expeditionary force, and they had been fighting the devils here, and almost no one had returned home.
Although they have all heard how powerful and powerful the Tuba Road is today, how powerful it is, with advanced weapons, well-trained, and combat effectiveness to crush devils, it is hearsay after all.
It's hard to feel.
And now you see these transport planes that have fallen, and they're as big as the largest B29 bomber in the United States of America, and that huge cabin is obviously a lot heavier than the American bombers.
The heavier the plane, the more power it needs, and they know that.
That is, the aircraft engine in front of it has more horsepower than the Americans. There are also five-bladed propellers, streamlined engine nacelles, which seem to be more technologically advanced than the bombers of the Americans.
And.
American bombers could not land at such earthen airfields.
At this time, the first few transport planes had already begun to land, the tail hatch was opened, and the soldiers of the 358 lions rushed up one after another, skillfully taking out the ten-wheeled trucks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery.
"It's better to see than to hear."
A general sighed.
They had heard many times that the gang was very strong, very powerful, and the devils who fought threw away their armor, tanks, planes, artillery.
But hearing is false, seeing is believing.
They have their backs to the Americans, they have the latest American weapons in their hands, and they are paid US dollars, although they are not as good as the Americans, but at least they are much better than those in China, and they are naturally arrogant in their hearts and look down on the domestic troops.
Coupled with the concept of more than ten years, the group of Tuhaha who have always been hiding in the mountains and forests.
I still think I'm better than Dirt Eight Road.
At most, it's five or five.
As for the devils who fought in the country and threw away their armor, I am afraid that they are not dealing with some second-rate divisions, and the incredible first-class divisions and first-class divisions they are facing cannot be directly compared.
But after really seeing it now, even if it is just some planes, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture, and I really realize that I am not even worthy of lifting shoes.
People directly target the United States, and even have an advantage.
The Americans also do not have the ability to transport heavy artillery of this caliber, nor can they airlift armored vehicles, heavy trucks.
"This plane has to carry about ten tons."
Someone sighed.
"If there had been such a transport plane on the Hump route back then..."
Another general let out a long sigh.
The Hump route, because of the special path, and the lack of powerful transport aircraft, can only transport small supplies, cannot transport heavy weapons, and the number of one-time transports is very small.
"Hmph."
Someone snorted coldly:
"Even if the Americans have it, it is estimated that they will not use it for us, and they refused to give us even a few heavy artillery pieces back then, and in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they suspended trade with us, but sold all kinds of military supplies to the little devils on a large scale."
When the words fell, Chu Yunfei deliberately glanced back at this person.
During the discussion, two hundred transport planes had landed, and the two fully formed regiments, plus Chu Yunfei's guard battalion, also quickly unloaded the materials in the plane.
"It's too fast!"
Looking at the supplies piled up on the edge of the airport, guarded by the guard battalion, the high-level who spoke first narrowed his pupils.
The unloading speed is simply too fast.
Although this kind of tail large warehouse door transport aircraft is much more convenient than the American transport plane, armored vehicles, trucks, and heavy artillery can be driven in and out directly as a whole, which is very convenient, and theoretically the unloading speed is very fast.
But transport planes have to be fixed to transport heavy supplies, and it is not easy to untie those fixed ropes.
Unless.
These soldiers are all trained, or very experienced, and are familiar with the unloading process of such aircraft.
It's a new aircraft.
Thinking of this, the high-ranking man began to sweat coldly behind his back, swallowed his throat, wiped his forehead, and quietly took a few steps back again, silently retreating into the crowd.
······
Subcontinent.
"The Bohai Bay defense line has been defeated."
Gangcun looked at the telegram in his hand and sighed.
After sighing, Gangcun suddenly realized that he had been sighing more and more recently, to be precise, he liked to sigh since he started dealing with the independent regiment, and then it intensified.
That's not a good thing.
After settling his mind, Gangcun concentrated his thoughts and began to think:
"In just one day, the five lines of defense collapsed, more than 20 divisions and regiments collapsed, and in the following three days, the entire defense line completely collapsed, with more than one-fifth of the soldiers and almost all heavy equipment lost."
"What the hell is going on?"
He couldn't figure it out.
There are more than 20 divisions and regiments, an unprecedented number of troops, and last year's No. 1 operation was only the size of this force, and many of them were veteran divisions and regiments, with rich combat experience and outstanding command ability.
Coupled with the abundance of supplies, the construction of fortified positions for several months, the support of the naval fleet, the joint formation of the air force of the navy, the army and air force, and the commander of Lieutenant General Kotaro Hattori who had been in confrontation with the independent regiment for several months.
It's very powerful.
This is evidenced by the fact that he has blocked the enemy's attacks many times before.
How could it suddenly collapse completely, and so quickly?
"It's simple."
Yamamoto put down the telegram in his hand and let out an equally long sigh:
"The confrontation lasted too long, and the morale actually collapsed before the war began."
Yamamoto didn't even have to think about it, he guessed the reason why the troops collapsed so quickly, a unit had no morale, and it was normal for it to fail.
"Morale Breaks..."
Gangcun was stunned, then fell into a long silence, and after thinking about it, he sighed deeply again.
It has been months since the bombing of the Imperial mainland, the locust palace has been burned down, and countless citizens have been burned to the ground, which can hardly be concealed, and the pictures of Tokyo that have fallen almost all over the bay of Bo have been greatly damaged.
Many soldiers have no intention of fighting.
Other than that.
The samurai carefully selected by the spirit of bushido are indeed full of resilience and can be called the strongest soldiers, and almost none of the locust warriors were captured in the early battles This is an example, but at the moment, after seven consecutive years of fighting, the samurai jade shattered the Republic of China, which was already close to double digits at the beginning, and the soldiers were exhausted, even if they were a division, the quality of the soldiers was plummeting.
There is no way back on the island, and there is no way to fight to the death.
However, in the Bohai Bay area, there are more escape routes, and in order to collect fuel, food and other materials, the locust army is forced to open the passage and let the soldiers communicate with the outside world, and the independent regiment will inevitably infiltrate and corrupt on a large scale.
The roots have begun to rot.
He fought many times with the independent group, and although he was not as good as Yamamoto, he was also well aware of the methods of that group.
Tanks are like a torrent, the loss of one can be replenished immediately, the artillery is like a storm, and the planes are like a swarm of locusts, overwhelming. There are also such special weapons as ground-penetrating bullets.
There are no restrictions on ammunition at all.
The Imperial troops, no matter how they are strengthened, are more than dozens of times different in firepower.
The confrontation in Bohai Bay lasted for three months, and the number of enemies was no less than that of the locust army, and although during the confrontation, the empire was able to maintain the airspace of its own positions, but the daily shelling was certainly indispensable.
At that time, a unit the size of a wing had artillery fire several times that surpassed that of the Imperial Division, and it was hard to imagine how powerful the artillery fire of a unit about the size of the Locust Army in the Bohai Bay Area could have.
And the tank troops, not only have great firepower and thick armor, but also have an advantage, that is, great mobility.
Extremely interspersed.
Bo Bay is a plain terrain, relying on a strong fortress to hold the key nodes, but the empire does not have the ability to spread the fortress all over the entire position like an independent regiment, there are many defense holes, the first few positions have to be interspersed by the enemy?
In the three-month standoff, how heavy were the casualties in order to hold the position?
How low should morale be?
In such a situation, it is normal to lead to a collapse rout.
"Now the Empire..."
As soon as this topic started, Gangcun wisely changed the topic.
He wanted to say what to do, but there was nothing to talk about.
Can't talk.
The mainland is still being bombed, and the enemy is still expanding the scale of bombardment, and according to what he knows, on average, more than 5,000 tons of bombs have been dropped every day for the past month.
Southeast Asian oil fields were also devastated and the empire's plans for fuel self-sufficiency were shattered.
After the defeat of Bo Bay, the availability of food, fuel and other materials will also be drastically reduced, and it can be expected that the next will be the most difficult days for the empire.
"The materials we provide should still allow the empire to hold out for a while."
Gangcun finally held back this sentence.
Thanks to Li Yunlong's gang, they are not yet able to cut off the Southeast Asian route, and the materials on their side can still be transported to the mainland, although they have to go around more than 1,000 kilometers of waterways, they can barely support it for a while.
But the expeditionary force had already begun to attack them, and although this force was not strong, it was also a trouble, and the situation in the future empire was clouded.
There is no hope in sight.
"Hold on for a while?"
Yamamoto snorted coldly:
"Impossible."
"Li Yunlong definitely has a way to cut off our contact with the mainland."
"Huh?"
Gangcun's first reaction was disbelief.
Although Li Yunlong's actions are incredible.
But unless Li Yunlong can occupy an island in the South China Sea, build an airfield, and deploy bombers to cut off the South China Sea route, and it must be very close to the Southeast Asian route.
At the very least, an air force airfield must be deployed more than a thousand kilometers south of the coastline.
That's impossible.
"It is not difficult for them to build an airport in Nanxian County in a week, deploy more than 300 aircraft, and build an island airport in the South China Sea in a short time."
Yamamoto's tone was quiet:
"And, who knows what weird new weapons they can come up with."
"This bomb is something we've never seen before, and we never even thought about it..."
Yamamoto reminded him, and Gangcun suddenly trembled.
The defenders of the Palembang oil field, with detailed reports on the new bombs.
The explosion was more than 20 tons of yellow explosives, which could clear a 300-meter radius of rainforest, and would suffocate the people in the underground fortifications.
Based on the explosion, they speculated that the explosion should be produced with the help of oxygen in the air in order to form a twenty-ton explosion power, to form a suffocation, and to cover such a large area.
However, there is no clue as to how to make it, and only guessing at the spilled substance is the key.
Gangcun was glad in his heart, thanks to the previous battles, such as Li Yunlong did not have this kind of bomb during the Battle of Central Henan, otherwise his North China Front army would not survive.
"Hey."
Gangcun sighed deeply.
······
Nan.
"It's settled."
In Wang Gensheng's temporary headquarters, a telegraph operator rushed in with a telegram in his hand.
"Where?"
Wang Gensheng hurriedly asked.
"According to the order of the regimental headquarters, they are going to build a sea and air base overseas, deploy the latest missile destroyers, and bomber groups equipped with missiles."
Yes, missile destroyers.
After recovering Bo Bay, they were heavily refitted, acquiring new warships, guided missile destroyers, increased tonnage, longer range, and more advanced performance.
"Natuna!"
The telegraph operator spat out a place name.
