Chapter 638: Unintentional Misleading
"This airport is built in a hidden valley, surrounded by dense woods. Since it is a field airport, it takes frequent take-offs and lands, they did not build a permanent nest. The airport leads to a simple road. The situation inside the airport, based on our current intelligence summary, I drew a sketch, Captain Lu, take a look."
Lu Tianlong took the sketch and looked at it, showing a hint of surprise: "From this sketch, the size of this field airport is not a north-south runway, and at least four aircraft can take off and land at the same time."
"That's right, at least one Japanese army and one flight brigade was stationed in this field airport, with at least 30 aircraft. We are not sure about the specific numbers. They take off and land frequently every day and bomb us. If the Japanese Segaya detachment trapped in Taierzhuang continues to receive air support, they will persist for a longer time, which will be extremely unfavorable to our army!"
"I agree with you, but we only have four bombers in total. Even if we count the br20, there are only five. The others are all combat power. Isn't five bombers bomb such a large airport a bit thin?"
"Captain Lu, we can learn from the Japanese, reduce fuel by half and increase the load capacity. In this way, the load capacity of the five bombers is very considerable!" Cong Hu explained.
Lu Tianlong nodded. The distance from Yanzhou to Dawenkou is very close. Basically, if you fly in the sky, you can get there within twenty minutes, which can be said to be very close!
The combat radius of ordinary bombers is at least five or six hundred kilometers, and the round trip is thousands of kilometers. If the fuel is reduced, you can bring more bombs.
This is theoretically feasible, and Japanese aircraft have all made such modifications. Some aircraft have even installed mounting equipment, and the storage space is limited, so they can only find solutions outside the cabin.
"Also, the airport is so secretly built and there are woods around it. In addition to destroying the airport facilities, we also need to bring more burning bullets. In this way, we can greatly increase the destructive power..."
"Well, it seems that Staff Cong has been studying this bombing for a long time!" Lu Tianlong said with a thumbs up that many of the materials made by the Japanese are made of wooden materials. Although fire-proof materials are coated, the wood is prone to fire, which is an objective fact that cannot be changed.
Japan is a country with shortage of resources. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft and increase its performance in the air, it is a helpless choice to use wooden materials in less important parts. If it is used for aviation aluminum, it will not be like this, but the cost will increase dramatically, which is not something that Japan can afford.
"I'm also thinking nonsense. What I said is wrong. Please criticize and correct me!" Cong Hu said humbly.
"Staff General Cong's research on air combat in this way, do you want our air force to develop in the future?" Lu Tianlong suddenly felt his mind and asked casually.
"This is still being considered, considering..." Cong Hu smiled, not denying it, but did not admit it either.
Lu Tianlong also knew that he was a bit abrupt in asking this question suddenly, so he immediately moved to the bombing mission. The specific amount of bombs and fuel each aircraft carried, all of which need to be strictly calculated. The plane is in the sky, not on the ground, and the trucks on the ground break down and there is no fuel. If they stop there, at least people will not have any trouble, but once the engine of the plane stops in the air and leaves no fuel, it will be the end of the plane being destroyed and people being killed.
Lu Tianlong also called the pilots to discuss and improve them. Cong Hu also joined in to discuss and learn. Although they studied with the Japanese prisoners for a while, they were just theoretical things and had no practical experience, but they were better than those who had no knowledge of air combat.
This temporary combination and accomplishing such an unprecedented feat made many people feel worried.
In Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek was in a state of great mood this day, and he was always worried about his wife's safety, and he was a little distracted during the meeting.
Although the news of the recovery of Jining has not been announced, the GMD senior management has already known it. However, the Japanese have not yet noticed the existence of the Honorary First Division and are still suspicious about spying information, so it has not been made public yet.
This is also to give the Honorary First Division more time, and the advantage of unequal intelligence cannot be lost on its own initiative.
I ate very little dinner, and the guards could see that Mr. Jiang was in a bad mood and had a bad appetite today.
"Sir, the lady has arrived in Xuzhou safely and lived in Leng Mansion."
"Leng Mansion?"
"It was a small building where Leng Guoguang lived in Xuzhou. It was not taken back and kept it. Colonel Wu kept with his wife." Lin Wei explained carefully.
"I understand. I'll tell my wife, be careful. Xuzhou is already a battlefield. After the condolences work is over, I'll return immediately." Old Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is news.
"The Luxi Corps has formulated a bombing plan. Do you take a look?"
"Bombing plan?" Old Jiang was stunned. When did the Luxi Corps have an air force? Still have a bombing plan? Who do he want to bomb?
"It was the 7th Squadron of the Third Air Force Battalion that flew to Yanzhou this morning. They planned to bomb the secret field airport built by the Japanese army in Dawenkou, Tai'an, early tomorrow morning." Lin Wei explained.
"What, they want to bomb the Japanese with Japanese planes?"
"Yes, that's what they mean."
Lao Jiang was shocked. This was a crazy idea, but I have to admit that if this matter was done, it would definitely cause a sensation around the world.
There has never been such a battle in the world. It has seized the enemy's airport and drove the enemy's plane to bomb the enemy's airport. If it succeeds, it will definitely become the greatest air strike since the birth of the plane.
"How sure are they?" Old Jiang was a little excited. He finally understood why Leng Feng was able to convince his wife to go there in person through Wu Xiaoyun.
No one wants the strength of the Chinese Air Force more than his wife.
"I don't know, I can only know anything after I do it."
"Based on my understanding of Leng Guoguang, he has started to prepare now. Even if I don't agree, he will do his own thing." Lao Jiang said slowly.
"Sir, will you stop immediately?"
"Stop, no, no matter whether it is successful or failure, we have won half of it. If we can win more brilliantly, why would I stop it?" Lao Jiang shook his head and said.
"What do you mean is, agree to their action this time?"
"Well, if the bombing is successful, it will be very beneficial to the Taierzhuang battle. Next, the air superiority will turn to us in part, and the determination to annihilate the Japanese Seya Detachment will be even greater!"
"That Tang Keqin's suggestion..."
"Look at it again..." Although Lao Jiang was moved, he knew that the person commanding the front line was Li Delin, and Li Delin did not agree. Obviously, there was his reason. If he favored Tang Keqin too much, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many generals in the Five War Zones. At this time, he must not intervene too much.
The Second Army Headquarters held a meeting overnight, and the North China Front Army sent people to Tokyo directly, and the base camp held an emergency military meeting. Emperor Hirohito even summoned Prime Minister Mitsuki and others overnight to discuss how to solve the current dilemma.
But it won't come out for a while.
