Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth cannons hit warships
Gao Jiu is going to play a new way of playing this time.
Gao Jiu brought 120 special forces members including Wang Zhankui. Now in Yichang, the Japanese army is full of heavy troops. Even if Gao Jiu and others can fight, they will definitely suffer heavy losses if they are besieged by the Japanese army. Therefore, he does not intend to take these team members to sneak attack the Japanese airport.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Makio Yokota, saying that he would do another business with them, and then he told Makio Yokota about his intentions.
The husband of Hengtian said that he would find a way to do this.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the boss of the Military Control Commission, asking him to prepare a 3 million yuan deposit coupon and ask Ouyang Xue to arrange a plane to send it directly to Taohua Mountain.
Yichang has been rainy for two consecutive days, and Japanese planes have not come to bomb. Deputy Commander Zhang and others are counting on Gao Jiu and others to quickly attack the Japanese airport. They have provided Gao Jiu with locations at several airports for the Japanese army, and are waiting for Gao Jiu and others to set off.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu had no intention of leaving Yichang at all. Not only that, his special forces members also took a lot of money to eat, drink and have fun in Yichang City, and also purchased supplies everywhere.
Deputy Commander Zhang felt a little unhappy, but he was not convenient to ask Gao Jiu directly, so he asked Li Fengming, the combat director who was close to Gao Jiu, to come to find Gao Jiu.
After seeing Gao Jiu, Li Fengming said straight to the point: "Master Jiu, you also saw it two days ago. How much damage did the Japanese plane bomb Yichang? When are you planning to destroy the Japanese airport?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't the Japanese plane not come these two days?"
Li Fengming said: "This is not that the Japanese are not coming. Isn't it always raining in Yichang these two days? The Japanese are not coming. When the Japanese are sunny, they will come to bomb again.
The Air Force has informed us that they can only find opportunities to fight the Japanese Air Force. They alone cannot stop the bombing of the Japanese Air Force."
Gao Jiu said: "Director Li, we fought side by side in Zhiyuan County back then. When did the things I promised never count?"
When Li Fengming heard Gao Jiu say this, he immediately laughed. He said, "Master Jiu, I believe in you. I will go back and report to Deputy Commander Zhang to reassure them. Just say, "Master Jiu, you already have a way to deal with the bombing of the Japanese Air Force."
Li Fengming returned to the Ninth War Zone Command and reported to Deputy Commander Zhang, Chief of Staff and others about the content of his conversation with Gao Jiu.
Deputy Commander Zhang, Chief of Staff and others also believed in Gao Jiu, but they didn't understand that Gao Jiu and his group wandered around Yichang City every day. How could this prevent the Japanese Air Force from coming to bomb?
The weather in Yichang City was bad these two days, and Japanese planes could not come, but other places were sunny. A plane took off from the Third Air Force in Jinan, landed at the lockdown airport, and a major officer got off the plane, who was the adjutant of Makio Yokota.
A colonel officer from the Sixth Air Force personally went to the airport to greet him. The two got into a car, but the car did not leave the airport. Instead, the driver and others got out of the car. They wanted to make room for the colonel officer and the adjutant to have a secret talk.
The Colonel Officer was the chief of staff of the Sixth Air Force. He said: "You said Gao Jiu himself is in Yichang City. Is the news accurate?"
"It's true," said Makio Yokota's adjutant.
The chief of staff scratched his head and said, "Why did this damn Gao Jiu come here again?"
The adjutant said: "His Chief of Staff, what are your Sixth Air Force going to do? Are you going to bomb Yichang City?"
The Chief of Staff said: "The Central China Expeditionary Army Command has issued combat missions. After the weather clears up, we will continue to bomb Yichang City and the Zhina Army's positions outside Yichang City."
The adjutant said: "Our third air force was blown up by Gao Jiu at the airport in Jinan, and the losses were heavy. Mortar shells were also dropped in the courtyard of our headquarters. The first air force in Peking, the second air force in Zhengzhou, the fifth air force in Rongcheng, and the ninth air force in Hanoi, I believe the Chief of Staff knew what their outcome would be?"
The Chief of Staff looked very ugly. He nodded silently and said, "I am also worried about this, and I don't know what to do. Your Commander asked you to come here. What does it mean?"
The adjutant said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the business you have been doing with our Third Air Force and the CSC coupons, to be honest, are all related to Gao Jiu."
"What?" Chief of Staff was shocked, and he said, "You actually got involved with Gao Jiu."
The adjutant smiled and said, "Our commander, you are an old friend who has known you for many years. He asked me to tell you about this matter, you can report us, but we will not admit it.
However, if Gao Jiu knew about this, I don’t know if your Sixth Air Force is sure to deal with Gao Jiu?”
The Chief of Staff was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "If Gao Jiu was really as terrifying as the legendary one, we would not be able to deal with him."
The adjutant said: "No, Gao Jiu's power is even more terrifying than you think. You also know that there are many things that the superiors concealed. What I know about Gao Jiu's things are much more terrifying than you heard of.
Think about it, the commander of the Second Air Force, the neck was broken by someone in his sleep. I don’t think you want to encounter such a thing.”
Hearing this, Chief of Staff
He touched his neck consciously and said, "Your Commander sent you here, what do you want to talk to me?"
The adjutant talked with the Chief of Staff for a long time, and the two sides reached an agreement. The Chief of Staff sent someone to board the Third Air Force's transport plane, moved several large sacks from it, and then left the airport.
Yokota's adjutant waited for the transport plane to fill up the oil, got on the plane, and flew to the airport of the Seventh Air Force.
Three days later, the weather cleared. The Japanese bomber group flew to Yichang again under the escort of fighter jets.
The National Air Force is having a hard time now. Although Gao Jiu helped them get a batch of aircraft, the losses of these aircraft were one less. After this period of combat operations, the number has dropped to the point where small-scale operations can only be carried out.
The Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Yichang, and the Ninth War Zone asked the Air Force to cooperate with them in the battle, and the Air Force was in a dilemma.
If the air clears up today, the Japanese army will definitely bomb the national army on the front line of Yichang again. The Air Force gritted its bullet and organized 12 fighter jets to prepare to go to the sky above Yichang for combat.
At this moment, the Ninth War Zone sent a telegram asking them not to dispatch the plane for the time being.
The Air Force felt very grateful, but also a little curious. He didn't understand that these guys in the Ninth War Zone used to urge them to take off the air like death-hunting ghosts. This time they took the wrong medicine and actually refused the Air Force to support it?
The Japanese bomber group did not fly to Yichang City, but flew over the position of the 26th Corps on the east side of Yichang City.
The leader of the Japanese bomber group carefully observed the ground and finally saw a dazzling flash on the ground.
These flashes are reflected by people on the ground holding mirrors and reflecting the sunlight. This is a signal to indicate the target as agreed in advance.
The bomber leader took the lead in bombing the positions of the national army.
Not long after, the Japanese bomber group threw the bomb and turned the plane back.
The Japanese army's bombing was very fierce, but the target of their bombing was not the position of the National Army, but a wasteland several miles away from the position of the National Army. Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the National Army did not lose a single person.
In the following battles, whether it was the Sixth Air Force or the Seventh Air Force, they often came to bomb the positions of the National Army, but after the fierce bombing, the positions of the National Army were still intact.
It turned out that this was how Gao Jiu worked through the Sixth Air Force and the Seventh Air Force through Makio Yokota. Gao Jiu used a large deposit ticket to exchange for the safety of Yichang City and the National Army's positions.
The threat from the Japanese Air Force was lifted like this.
Of course, this matter is strictly confidential, and only a few people, including the boss of the Military Control Commission, and Deputy Commander Zhang from the Ninth War Zone, know the reason.
Next, Gao Jiu and others will help Commander Yang to deal with another branch of the military that posed a huge threat to the national army - the Japanese Navy.
In order to give full play to the role of the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Navy specially drove many inland ships from the country, as well as the National Navy and the Jiang Defense Fleet ships they seized from the National Army, with nearly a hundred ships.
Yichang City is at the dividing point of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The river surface here is wide and the water depth is enough for the small Japanese navy ships to go up the river. They not only have fierce artillery fire that can directly attack the positions of the Kuomintang, but also carry the Japanese army and land at any location on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which poses a great threat to the Kuomintang.
That morning, Gao Jiu, Li Fengming, Wang Zhankui, Director Niu of the 26th Corps' Investigation Department and others came to the reeds on the Yangtze River.
On the vast Yangtze River, the Japanese ships showed off their power. They bullied the Kuomintang army without long-range artillery and cruised on the Yangtze River in a big way. Some gunboats were dragging fishing boats behind them, with many Japanese soldiers on them.
Director Niu said: "We have tried to attack Japanese warships with artillery. The Japanese warships are numerous, with large caliber artillery on them and can be maneuvered at any time. It is difficult for our artillery to hit them. Once the fire exposed the target, a large number of enemy artillery fired over.
Our cannons are fixed on the ground and cannot run away, which is simply not feasible."
Gao Jiu said nothing and held up the telescope to continue observing.
After a while, Li Fengming saw him put down his telescope and asked, "Master Jiu, is there any way to deal with these Japanese warships?"
Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not easy to deal with."
Warships are really hard to deal with. There are no missiles at this time and there are no other weapons with great power. The Kuomintang does not have many large-caliber artillery in its hands. Even large-caliber artillery cannons cannot sink a warship with just one or two guns. As long as they can't sink the enemy's warship for a while, they can't even run away when they fight back. With the existing means, it's really difficult to deal with these Japanese naval ships.
Everyone, including Director Wang of the 26th Corps, knew Gao Jiu. When he heard what Gao Jiu said was that it was difficult to deal with, not that there was no way, he knew that he would definitely have a solution.
Gao Jiu asked: "You said, what are the weaknesses of the Japanese warships?"
Everyone thought for a long time, and with the existing methods, they could not see any weaknesses of those warships.
The Taohuashan Special Forces have a fine tradition, that is, the players are good at thinking. Wang Zhankui thought about it and said, "Jiu Ye, the Japanese warships have weaknesses. I think there are two aspects. One is that although it is powerful, once it sinks, it will be completely destroyed. There is another weakness, that is, the construction of warships is very difficult, and the cycle is very long. One is lost and one less is impossible to replenish in a short period of time."
When others heard Wang Zhankui's words, they felt that they were nonsense. Although what he said made sense, the prerequisite was that you had to find a way to silence others first.
Gao Jiu said, "Yes, brother Zhan Kui makes sense."
Li Fengming asked in confusion: "How can we fight the Japanese warship?"
Gao Jiu said: "The matter is due to human affairs, let's go back first."
After returning to the 26th Corps headquarters, Gao Jiu drew a drawing and asked someone to go to Yichang City to process according to the drawings.
Then the Ninth War Zone sent him a 57mm anti-aircraft cannon with a two-unit mount.
The Ninth War Zone Command.
Deputy Commander Zhang asked in confusion: "What do Gao Jiu want anti-aircraft guns for? Do he want to use anti-aircraft guns to attack the Japanese warships?"
The Chief of Staff also felt that it was a bit unreliable. The Japanese warship had armor on them. How long would it take to use anti-aircraft guns to destroy a warship? Besides, there were so many cannons on the Japanese warship. Are you afraid of them fighting against each other?
He shook his head and said, "I don't know, Mr. Gao is elusive in his work. Who knows what he can do?"
Deputy Commander Zhang said: "No matter what, just do what he said and send someone to him immediately."
Not long after, anti-aircraft guns were sent over. Gao Jiuzhang led Wang Zhankui, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others to the riverside in a military truck. They unloaded anti-aircraft guns from the truck and hid them in the reed marsh.
Gao Jiu and others waited for about an hour and saw the Japanese warship coming. Not only one ship, but three ships came. Gao Jiu did not dare to take action and continued to wait patiently.
Another 40 minutes later, a gunboat sailed over. The gunboat was not big, with a displacement of about five or six hundred tons. It only had the front main gun, two small cannons on the side, and an anti-aircraft machine gun behind it.
The Japanese gunboat was very arrogant and dared to sail along the west bank of the Yangtze River near the position of the National Army.
