285 Bomber Brigade, Attack!

Air Force, attack!

Using some of the military equipment production drawings in my mind, a large number of advanced technologies and equipment exchanged from Germany and the United States. In addition, Li Guosheng's mind, the development ideas of the future direction of the world's air force. In just one year, the aviation divisions under the Ninth Army replaced all the guns and equipped them with the Yiyuan Military Industry Group, and they studied and produced their own fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and bombers...

After a year of great development, the Aviation Division of the Ninth Army directly expanded the number of pilots in Li Guosheng to more than 150 through self-training and poaching from other local forces.

At this moment, the entire aviation division has a total of one reconnaissance aircraft squadron, one fighter brigade, and one bomber brigade. In addition, its equipment advantages, looking at the whole country, it can be regarded as the leading air force in the country.

When jet fighters have not been studied, even if they are equipped with piston engines, even the best fighters in World War II have a flight speed of only four or five hundred kilometers per hour. From later generations, they are very clear about speed, which is the most important criterion for measuring the performance of a fighter. Of course, Li Guosheng, who is currently equipped with propeller aircraft, is not as favourable as the propeller aircraft currently equipped by various countries.

In addition, Li Guosheng knew that it would be impossible for China to break out in large-scale air combat in the next few years.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, Li Guosheng directly decided to suspend the development of the fighter brigade before the jet fighter was developed.

Of course, this suspension is not to completely stagnate the development of the fighter brigade. Instead, to allow the entire fighter brigade to no longer expand its scale before the jet fighter is developed. Use existing fighter jets to give the aviation divisions under the Ninth Army. As much as possible, train a sufficient number of Air Force fighter pilots to prepare for future wartime needs.

The fighter brigade under the Aviation Division has temporarily suspended its development. The bomber brigade has undoubtedly become the key development goal of the Aviation Division. Although the bombers equipped by the Bomber brigade still use piston engines, the speed is not comparable to that of later jet aircraft. However, compared with fighters, bombers value fighter load capacity and range more.

Looking at the entire World War II, Germany will soon develop and produce the He111 bomber in a few years. Because of its powerful bomb loading capacity, super speed and endurance, it has become Li Guosheng's first choice for the current bomber types.

In addition, Li Guosheng clearly knew the advantages and disadvantages of the He111 bomber on the battlefield of World War II.

Under the guidance of Li Guosheng based on his memory, he only took a few months to develop and develop the "H-1" bomber after a large number of improvements and production. Two months ago, he officially started to be equipped with a bomber brigade of the Ninth Army.

Facing the commander-in-chief looking at him, the commander of the Aviation Division said proudly: "Commander-in-chief, so far, the bomber brigade has successfully formed four aviation squadrons, a total of 48 'H-1' bombers. According to the bomb load of each bomber, 48 bombers can be dropped at the same time to instantly drop 48 tons of bombs to the predetermined target of attack..."

After getting the affirmative answer, Li Guosheng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, in his heart, he began to conduct a brief analysis.

Under Guo Zhenghua's gaze, waiting for less than a minute, an excited scream came from Li Guosheng's mouth.

"48 tons of bombs... If calculated based on the weight of fifty kilograms per bomb, 48 tons of bombs will be a total of 960 aviation bombs. Because this is the first time that the bomber brigade has participated in actual combat, and it is enough to drop bombs on the sea surface moving targets. I will calculate it based on a hit rate of 10%. However, even so, after a round of bombs, no less than a hundred bombs will accurately hit the target."

"A hundred aviation bombs with a large number of strong savages exploded. I believe that the protective armor of the enemy ships, no matter how thick they are, will be blown up to pieces."

Just after a sentence was finished, another trace of inspiration came to Li Guosheng's mind.

Fighters equipped with thick protective armor have greater power when bombers cannot throw armor-piercing bombs and can instantly generate high temperatures. Inflammable bombs that completely melt the armor are undoubtedly the best choice.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued to ask at the aviation commander Guo Zhenghua in front of him.

"Team Commander Guo, what ammunition is currently equipped with by the bomber brigade? I remember that when the "H-1" bomber was specifically formulated and produced, I specifically told the military factory to produce a batch of incendiary bombs suitable for bombers for backup. Now, so long has passed, will your ammunition depot stockpile a batch of incendiary bombs as required..."

"Incendiary Bomb..." Hearing these three words, Commander Guo immediately recalled the scene of live-fire training for incendiary bombs more than a month ago...

As soon as the incendiary bomb went down, an area with a width of twenty meters and a length of more than one hundred meters was instantly burned into a sea of ​​fire. Of course, this was not the most shocking thing about Commander Guo.

Because the incendiary bomb contains all kinds of flammable materials such as gasoline, as long as we get a little dye, it cannot be extinguished. In the end, we can only watch the target area quickly covered by fire. And as the burning fire is exhausted, the hundreds of steel plates with a thickness of more than five centimeters erected in the target area to test the specific power of the incendiary bomb were directly melted and turned into pieces of hot molten iron...

Even the five-centimeter-thick steel plate could melt, and Commander Guo could not imagine what kind of tragic scene would appear if these flammable materials were contaminated on people.

Facing the powerful and almost tragic mass destruction ammunition, Commander Guo, who was first exposed to this kind of incendiary bomb, was excited and also very clear about the strategic significance of this incendiary bomb to the bomber. Without any hesitation, he directly listed the incendiary bomb as a secret Air Force. After a batch was produced by a military factory, he secretly reserved a batch.

So far, the entire aviation division's reserves for incendiary bombs have unknowingly reached an astonishing five hundred tons.

At this moment, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the aviation division, who had been thinking for a while, slowly realized something from Li Guosheng's question. He asked subconsciously: "Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean is to use incendiary bombs to deal with the Japanese warships... Is this a bit cruel..."

Before the Japanese government launched the "September 18th" Incident, many Chinese people did not realize the Japanese's ambitions for China. Of course, even if they realized the Japanese's ambitions. Because they belong to Asians, many people have studied in Japan. Their attitude towards the Japanese is far less tough and hatred than they have since the outbreak of the war of aggression against China.

Therefore, Li Guosheng did not show any other than Guo Zhenghua's answer. After a brief contemplation, he directly sneered and responded.

"Cruel? I think there is almost no comparison with the methods the Japanese used to treat our Chinese people.... Commander Guo, think about Taiwan, which was still occupied by the Japanese, and think about the countless Chinese people who were massacred by the Japanese army. You will think that it is not a cruel thing to burn all the Japanese into roasted suckling pigs. So, the entire bombing, the bomber brigade switched to the air strikes with incendiary bombs..."

After saying a word, Li Guosheng's face became serious unknowingly.

He ordered Guo Zhenghua without any room for negotiation: "Teacher Guo. I don't care how great the Aviation Division's results are in the entire battle. I only have one requirement for the Aviation Division: after receiving the headquarters attack order, the Aviation Division must at all costs to ensure at least two hours of uninterrupted aerial strike against the Japanese mixed fleet..."

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and with the help of thousands of ground crew members, four squadrons under the Bomber Brigade, including hundreds of tons of incendiary bombs, were all transferred to a military airport not far from Qingdao Military Port.

As time goes by, the distance between the Japanese Navy from Qingdao has changed from thousands of kilometers to 150 kilometers today. According to the speed of the Japanese mixed fleet, the entire mixed fleet can visit the coast of Qingdao in the latest four hours.

The attack on the Japanese mixed fleet was about to be made: countless ground crew members began to install incendiary bombs on the bombers under the command of commanders at all levels.

The entire bomber brigade still had hundreds of pilots and bombers who were still unknown. They were very surprised to receive an order: they all gathered in the only huge conference room in the airport to listen to a historical battle to tell them about the various crimes that the Japanese had committed against the Chinese over the past few years.

Before the war, I listened to the history instructors and "tell stories" to hundreds of pilots and bombers. On the surface, it seemed incomprehensible. However, this seemingly funny and incomprehensible method can inspire more than any inspiring words to the hatred of more than 100 pilots and bombers towards the Japanese and stimulate their morale before the war.

After the history fights, the division commander Guo Zhenghua immediately walked onto the rostrum. Looking at the subordinates who were clenched in front of him, all of whom were indignant and murderous intent. At the strange proposal of Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, the division commander Guo Zhenghua couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"It seems that what the Commander-in-Chief is right. The Chinese, especially these young people, do not lack blood at all. The only thing they lack is the catalyst to trigger blood and hatred in their hearts. The shame left to this country in history is the best catalyst for this group of patriotic youth."

Of course, no matter how emotional he is, Guo Zhenghua has not forgotten the upcoming battle against Japan that will break out a few hours later.

After sweeping around all the subordinates sitting in front of him, he spoke: "Brothers, after listening to what Professor Wang had just told me, I don't know if you have any ideas. Here, I will tell you about my own feelings, Guo Zhenghua..."

"It has always been said that the Japanese are friendly neighbors of our Chinese nation. However, after listening to Professor Wang's story, I truly realized that this so-called friendly neighbor is completely our wish. In the eyes of the Japanese, we Chinese are just a group of weak and bullied sheep. And the Japanese are hungry wolves that may pounce on us at any time..."

"Think about the large number of compatriots who have died at the hands of the Japanese for decades, think about the shame of Sino-Japanese War, and think about the Taiwan Island that was still occupied by the Japanese. Brothers, tell me what should we do when facing the Japanese..."

"Revenge..." A roar full of anger came directly from everyone's mouth.

The division commander Guo Zhenghua clenched his fist and slammed his harshly towards the desk in front of him, shouting: "Yes. Everyone is right, that is, revenge... And now, there is a chance to avenge everyone. Now, please ask your brigade leader Fang Kevin to give you a detailed introduction to why our bomber brigade had transferred to Qingdao Military Airport overnight..."

Compared with everyone's righteous indignation, Fang Kaiwen's face seemed much more serious.

Under the gaze of more than one hundred people, he walked up to the rostrum and introduced: "Brothers, I just received a telegram from the General Command that the Japanese government had retaliated against the military operation of our Ninth Army to recover Dalian. Two days ago, he sent a mixed fleet to prepare to launch an attack on our Shandong Province from the sea.

"Now, this naval fleet is less than 150 kilometers away from Qingdao. For the sake of Qingdao's safety and to avoid the Lushun massacre in that year, it was staged in Qingdao again. Everyone tells me what we should do..."

In an instant, more than a hundred pilots and bombers wanted to suddenly see an enemy with a deep blood hatred with him. He raised his clenched fists and roared in a mess: "Destroy them, destroy them on the sea..."

"We must never let them get close to Qingdao, we must defeat them..."

Facing all kinds of chaotic screams and a strong smile slowly enveloped Fang Kaiwen's face. He pressed his hands. The eyes of more than a hundred people gathered on him again. He spoke in his strong voice.

"Brothers are right. In any case, we must not let the Japanese warships plunder in our Chinese waters..."

After receiving the instructions from the commander Guo Zhenghua next to him, he quickly took out a combat order issued by the commander-in-chief himself and continued to order with a serious look on his face.

"Next, I will read to you the latest combat order issued by the Commander-in-Chief a few hours ago to me: This order: The bomber brigade under the Aviation Division will attack immediately after three hours, and at all costs, block the Japanese mixed fleet outside the coast of Qingdao..."

The order was issued, and the faces of more than 100 pilots and bombers suddenly showed an expression of expectation. He raised his clenched fists again and asked Guo Zhenghua and Fang Kaiwen on the rostrum in chaos and said, "Secretary, give orders, our bomber brigade, guarantee that there is no coward..."

"Please give orders to us, we promise that the Japanese fleet will never return..."

"I finally have a chance to kill the Japanese. Sir, please give orders quickly. I can't wait..."

When the conference room returned to peace and hundreds of subordinates were waiting for specific combat orders, the calm voice of the captain Fang Kevin finally rang out: "Brothers, in order to better complete the combat mission assigned by the Commander-in-Chief to me the bomber brigade, I will now order."

"Two hours later, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the First Bomber Squadron set out on time and launched an air strike against the Japanese mixed fleet under the guidance of the reconnaissance squadron..."

"The first squadron responsible for the first round of attacks must ensure that it will attack the Japanese mixed fleet for up to fifteen minutes. After the fifteen-minute attack is completed, retreat immediately, return to the airport to replenish ammunition, and continue to prepare for takeoff operations..."

"The Second Bomber Squadron took off to the battlefield fifteen minutes after the first squadron set off, replaced the first squadron and launched an attack on the Japanese mixed fleet. As for the attack time, it is still fifteen minutes..."

"The third and fourth bomber squadrons will take off to fight one after another after fifteen minutes apart..."

"Each bomber squadron has a fifteen-minute attack time. I believe: Calculate based on the distance between the airport and the air combat battlefield and the speed of my bomber: When the fourth bomber squadron took off to fight, the first bomber squadron that successfully returned to the airport was ready to take off to fight again and carry out the second round of attacks on the Japanese Navy fleet..."

After the order was issued, a pair of sharp eyes swept to the expectant and excited subordinates in the conference room again, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, tell me if you have the confidence to fight the first battle since the formation of my bomber brigade. Let the Japanese Combined Fleet that invaded our waters pay the price of bleeding..."

"There is..." A loud shout came directly from the mouths of more than 100 people with high morale.

At this moment, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the Aviation Division, who was very satisfied with the performance of all the officers and soldiers of the bomber brigade in the conference room, spoke again: "Brothers, everyone knows the mission. Next, I will give you the last explanation before the war, and I hope everyone will remember it. You must know that this explanation may save your lives at a critical moment..."

Although there are more than 100 people in the Bomber Brigade, although they are young people in their twenties and thirties. However, at least middle school or above, they have the spirit of hating evil spirits, but they are not as reckless as angry young people. They are rational and they know that if a bad fight in the Air Force may lead to plane destruction and death.

So, the voice of Commander Guo Zhenghua had just fallen, and the people who were still excited a minute ago suddenly became serious. They stared at each other and waited for Commander Guo Zhenghua to say the following words.

The commander Guo Tiansheng did not ask everyone to wait too long. He waved his hand and spoke directly.

"After the approval of the commander-in-chief, our bomber brigade decided to use incendiary bombs for this bombing of the Japanese mixed fleet. Therefore, during the bombing process, I hope that the brothers will maintain a certain height as much as possible and do not use low-altitude bombing to avoid the incendiary bombs producing hot air that threatens the safety of the bomber..."

"In addition, according to the latest information sent by the headquarters, the battleships in the Japanese mixed fleet have four anti-aircraft guns, two cruisers, four anti-aircraft guns, and six destroyers, and two anti-aircraft guns respectively. Therefore, when performing bombing missions, you must avoid the Japanese Navy's anti-aircraft guns as much as possible. Of course, if possible, the first squadron participating in the first round of bombing must remove all anti-aircraft guns from the enemy ships..."

After quickly looking at the conference room, Guo Zhenghua finally spoke: "Brothers, there are two reminders in total, I hope everyone can remember them. Finally, I, Guo Zhenghua, are here, I wish you all the victory in the first battle and the majesty of my Ninth Army Aviation Division..."
