Chapter 312 Bombing Suzhou

As soon as Ye Feng entered the command center, everyone stood up, stood attentively and saluted.

In the command center, Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan and several division commanders reported some of the situation to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng listened carefully to everyone's report.

Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan arrived one day before Ye Feng. Guo Weiquan and several commanders of the participating divisions formed a temporary pre-war command center. Everyone was responsible for specific commands. Unless major matters need to be reported and asked for instructions, Ye Feng gave everyone great power.

Deputy Commanders Chu Tianyuan, Qian Hu, Liu Yongyan and others were in charge of command in Hangzhou, providing logistical support for the restoration of Suzhou and preparing a large number of reserve troops. The rest of the divisions that did not participate in the war for the time being were already in a first-level combat readiness state and acted as reserve troops.

After all the reports were reported, Chief of Staff Guo Weiquan sighed: "Standard, we have always wanted to attract the remaining aircraft from the Shanghai Airport in Japan, but these aircraft have not been able to conceal them, and we have no chance to destroy them for the time being."

A large number of "air fortresses" bombers were sent to carry out large-scale and high-density bombings in the Shanghai area, and no fighter plane was sent to escort it. In addition to attacking the Japanese and creating the illusion of launching a large-scale attack on Shanghai, there was another purpose, which was to lure the snake out of the cave, attract the Japanese aircraft and annihilate them.

After all, it was all bombers and no fighter escort. It seemed to be a great opportunity for ordinary people. Unexpectedly, the Japanese were afraid of being beaten and did not have the courage to fight against the bombers of the newly formed 6th Army.

If it weren't for the deployment of a large number of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns at the Shanghai Airport in Japan, Ye Feng might have ordered a large number of "air fortress" bombers to forcefully bomb.

After hearing Guo Weiquan's sigh, Ye Feng smiled and said, "No hurry, we have obtained reliable information. The main force of the Chinese fleet in the Japanese side is sailing towards the Shanghai area and is expected to arrive in the Shanghai area tomorrow morning. This time, the Japanese dispatched an aircraft carrier and made a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, Guo Weiquan had a sudden inspiration and said: "Martial Arts, are you saying that the plane from the Shanghai Airport in Japan is waiting for the arrival of this aircraft carrier, and then attack our 'Air Fortress' bomber with these carrier-based aircraft."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "It's very likely."

"Military, should we attack Suzhou as planned today, or postpone it for one day, and wait until the Japanese Chinese fleet arrives in Shanghai." Guo Weiquan asked for instructions.

Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "We will start to restore Suzhou from today and act according to our combat plan."

The combat plan has been formulated, and Ye Feng does not want to change it easily.

*******

Southern suburbs of Suzhou.

The Japanese soldier has been operating in Suzhou for many years. He has built a large number of fortifications in Suzhou, and the southern suburbs of Suzhou is no different. Especially near several highways leading to Suzhou City, a large number of artillery towers were built. Usually, many Japanese and puppet troops set up checkpoints on these highways entering the city to check the people coming and going.

On one of the highways, less than ten kilometers away from Suzhou City, several artillery towers stand, and many Japanese and puppet troops are stationed here.

Not far away there is a large village. All the people in the village seem to have been driven away, and the entire village has become a military camp of the Japanese.

There are also machine guns at the entrance of the village. There are also several artillery towers, and even several anti-aircraft machine guns. There seem to be war defense cannons in the artillery tower. Of course, machine guns are not a problem. Each artillery tower has at least one or two machine guns, and at most three or four machine guns.

Near the highway and around the villages, there are at least a thousand Japanese and puppet troops. There are more than 50,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Suzhou area, and there are several such places in the southern Suzhou area. Each place has a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.

Starting yesterday, in addition to the Japanese and puppet troops were transferred to reinforce Shanghai, there were about 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops in Suzhou. After all, Suzhou is too close to Jiaxing, so Okamura Yasuji dared not draw troops to reinforce Shanghai on a large scale.

The Japanese in this area still look like the same thing, and they do whatever they should do. The Japanese are better and have a little alertness. The puppet troops are very lazy, and some are even basking in the sun, smoking and chatting.

A roar of planes suddenly came from the sky.

A huge group of aircraft was flying towards this side in the distance. These were at least hundreds of "air fortresses" bombers. Because each bomber was relatively large, more than one hundred bombers were already very spectacular, looking very shocking and very visually impactful.

On the road, more than a dozen Japanese, twenty or thirty puppet troops were checking the passing people. Suddenly, seeing so many planes coming, these Japanese and puppet troops couldn't believe their eyes.

A puppet army with a crooked back on Hanyang was also wearing a crooked hat, completely lazy and absent-minded. However, when he saw so many planes, his face changed drastically, and there was no laziness at all, and his face was full of nervousness.

A Japanese soldier also looked up at the sky and did not take his eyes back for a long time. He seemed to be completely stunned. This scene was too shocking. A large area was covered with bombers.

In a gun tower, a Japanese captain was shaking his phone anxiously and reporting the situation to Suzhou City. A group of bombers from the newly formed 6th Army was coming on a large scale!

Most of the more than 100 aircraft ignored these Japanese and puppet troops. There were only about one squadron, with a total of more than 20 bombers leaving the large army and lowered the altitude and flew over. The other aircraft remained unchanged in altitude and continued to fly.

Everyone has more than one bombing target, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Suzhou area are all the targets of everyone's bombing.

As soon as more than twenty "air fortresses" bombers flew over, they immediately dropped bombs on a large scale in the area. Bombs roared down and exploded.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The explosion was still extremely fierce. The people on the road had already run away, leaving behind stunned Japanese and puppet soldiers. A bomb happened to explode on the road, and exploded among dozens of Japanese and puppet soldiers.

With a loud bang, it was obviously a heavy aviation bomb with great power. A large pit of more than 20 meters was blown out on the highway. After the explosion, none of these dozens of Japanese and puppet troops were left, all of which were blown away or directly shattered.

A cannon tower next to the highway was directly blown up by a bomb. The Japanese inside had no time to run out and almost all of them were killed. Even if they were not killed, they were buried alive and buried under the ruins of the cannon.

There were only three or five bombers on the road area, and most of the remaining planes directly bombed the village not far away.

Faced with the frequent bombing of the newly-organized 6th Army bombers, the Japanese also learned to be "smart" in addition to the large number of casualties and injuries. They basically no longer built military camps in the wild, but occupied them, driving away some of the people in the villages near the road. A large area of ​​villages became Japanese military camps and garrisons.

The Japanese believe that the aircraft of the newly formed 6th Army would never dare to carry out large-scale bombings on such villages. Who knows if there are Chinese people in the village? What if there are a large number of Chinese people, what if they accidentally hurt Chinese people?

The Japanese made a thunderous plan, and the Japanese would never think that all this situation had been controlled by the newly compiled 6th Army. Asakagumiya Hirohiko, a super spy, is not a decoration.

Nearly twenty "Air Fortress" bombers braved the anti-aircraft fire of Japan and intensively dropped bombs on this village. Before the anti-aircraft machine guns of Japan were fired, only one and two "Air Fortresses" were slightly damaged, and the dense explosions destroyed these machine guns.

In just a few minutes, this large village turned into a sea of ​​fire and ruins. The entire village was almost completely destroyed, leaving behind a large amount of ruins, leaving behind a large number of black smoke and burning ruins.

Most of the Japanese in the village were bombed to death, and there were corpses everywhere on the ground, and some corpses were even mixed in the ruins, revealing a little bit. The whole village was in a mess and terrible sight, and thousands of Japanese devils were almost dead.

Such bombings continued to be carried out in Suzhou since this morning, and the death toll of Japanese and puppet troops in Suzhou has continued to rise sharply.

In Suzhou City, Suzhou Japanese Army Command.

The lieutenant general of the 29th Division, Nobu Mizuno, received the report and was shocked. The newly formed 6th Army actually carried out a large-scale bombing of the Suzhou area, and his troops were killed and injured.

Nobu Mizuno was extremely puzzled. Isn’t the newly-organized 6th Army attacking Shanghai on a large scale? Are they preparing to start a war on both ends, both attacking Shanghai and Suzhou?

Thinking that the newly formed 6th Army might attack Suzhou, Nobumi Mizuno felt a little uneasy. In the Suzhou area, more than 10,000 people had just been drawn away, but the entire independent mixed brigade of thousands of people was drawn away, as well as thousands of puppet troops.

At present, only the 29th Division remained in Suzhou, including a security force of thousands of people and more than 10,000 puppet troops. The 29th Division is still a newly established division.

As the war progressed and expanded, in addition to permanent divisions and special divisions, new divisions, security divisions, supplementary divisions, etc. have appeared in the Japanese army.

Since 1938, the Japanese army has mainly adopted the method of drawing an elite gang from the standing division as the base and then recruiting supplementary troops, and successively formed a new division with a serial number of 20, a "Public Security Division" with a serial number of 30 to 40, and a "Supplementary Division" with a serial number of 50.

This type of division adopts an internationally common "three-unit system" (the division does not have three brigades directly under the command of the brigade), and the number of troops is only 14,000. Divisions with serial numbers from 21 to 57 are considered fourth-class units, but because their officers come from standing troops, their soldiers are young, and their combat effectiveness is often higher than those of third-class divisions.

Mizuno Nobumi's 29th Division is such a unit, with poor combat power. Mizuno Nobumi was once the brigade commander of a permanent division, and he served as the commander of the 29th Division for only more than a year.
