Xinchang, Tianmu Mountain.

Because the Japanese army occupied Sheng County, Xinchang County and various main transportation roads, Zhong Yi and the accompanying special operations brigade chose to take the small path.

Tianmu Mountain is the only way to go.

At this time, Zhong Yi was standing on the top of the Baiyunjian Mountain and looking towards the northeast.

An Zhenyuan walked to Zhong Yi and asked, "Shenzhen, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at Shanghai." Zhong Yi pointed to the northeast where Shanghai is located and said, "Xiao Anzi, do you think the night sky in the northeast should be brighter?"

An Zhenyuan didn't pay attention at first, but after Zhong Yi said this, he found that it was true.

An Zhenyuan exclaimed lightly and said, "It's true that the night sky in the northeast is really brighter?"

"You also think the night sky in the northeast is brighter?" Zhong Yi's face immediately showed a hint of joy, and said, "It seems that Jianwei and the others have succeeded."

"Jianwei?" An Zhenyuan didn't know the Dunhuang plan and asked, "What actions did Jianwei and the others do?"

Zhong Yi said: "More than half a month ago, I had drafted a Dunhuang plan for Jianwei and the others, with the purpose of blowing up the combat readiness oil depot in Pudong and making the Japanese air force unable to reach the sky!"

"Really?" An Zhenyuan said overjoyed, "that must be the movement that Jianwei and the others made."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chao hurried over and reported urgently: "Seat, Shanghai is in urgent need of electricity!"

"The news is coming!" An Zhenyuan took the lead and took the telegram. After reading it hurriedly, he said to Zhong Yi, "As soon as the Dunhuang plan has been successful, the Pudong combat oil depot has been blown up!"

"Okay!" Zhong Yi clenched his fists hard when he heard this.

The direct losses caused to Japan by blowing up the combat readiness oil depot in Pudong will not be mentioned for now. It will only indirectly prevent the Japanese army and navy from taking off in a short period of time, which has greatly supported the Yinjiang defense battle!

Of course, for the Japanese, the losses caused by the bombing of the combat readiness oil depot itself are probably greater. It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely strategically level for Japan!

In another time and space, the Japanese Navy successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, causing the US Navy's Pacific Fleet to lose more than 40 ships and more than 200 combat aircraft. Unfortunately, the Japanese Navy made a fatal mistake in the end, canceling the third wave of attacks because it was too cautious, but failed to blow up the Pearl Harbor's combat oil depot.

If the Japanese Navy blows up the Pearl Harbor's combat readiness oil depot and detonates more than 4 million tons of oil stored in the oil depot, the entire port's infrastructure will be razed to the ground and the strategic materials accumulated by the US Navy will be completely destroyed. In this way, the US Navy can only directly retract back to the west coast.

The combat readiness oil depot in Pudong is naturally not comparable to the combat readiness oil depot in Pearl Harbor. Not only does it have a worse status, but it also has an incomparable amount of oil in it, because the fuel depot in Pudong is less than 100,000 tons, while the fuel deposits in Pearl Harbor are more than 4 million tons.

But even so, this is also a strategic loss for Japan!

Because Japan is a barren island country, 100,000 tons of gasoline are of great importance!

For example, the Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft refuels about three tons at a time, and 100,000 tons of aircraft gasoline means that the Japanese army can dispatch more than 33,000 Type 96 land attack aircraft!

Let me give you another example. During the eight-year war, the Japanese army dispatched a total of about 9,000 bombers to bomb Chongqing.

This means that the aviation gasoline stored in the Pudong oil depot of Japan is more than three times the aviation gasoline they consumed in bombing Chongqing in eight years!

Such losses are not considered strategic?

...

Such losses are of course strategic!

When he learned that the combat readiness oil depot in Pudong had been blown up, the Japanese Navy's command minister Fushimi Miyagi Hirokyo's lungs were almost irritated, and immediately drove straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It is necessary to note that the combat readiness oil depot in Pudong is not owned by the Japanese Army, but by the Navy.

As early as three years ago, just as the Battle of Songhu ended, the Japanese Navy began to build combat oil depots in Pudong.

The Japanese Navy's military command minister, Hiroki Fushimiya, was a famous southward faction. He firmly advocated going to war against the United States and Britain, occupying the entire Southeast Asia to seize strategic resources in Southeast Asia.

The chief of staff of the Japanese Army, Miyao Miyatomiya, was a northern faction. He advocated that war against the Soviet Union and that strategic resources such as oil and wood could be obtained from northbound occupation of the Far East.

The so-called struggle between going south and going north is actually a dispute between sea and land power.

By the way, at this time, the Battle of Nomenkan had been fought for several months.

Judging from the situation, the Soviet army has gained the initiative in the Battle of Nomenkan, and the Japanese army has fallen into a full passive position. If no major accidents occur, Japan will soon seek peace from the Soviet Union.

This is undoubtedly a strategic downturn for the mainland power faction, that is, the northern faction.

Then, on the other hand, it is a victory for the maritime faction, that is, the southward faction.

Therefore, Fushimi Miyagi Hirokyo was already ready to sweep across Southeast Asia. He had even asked the naval staff of the Military Command to formulate a combat plan to invade Southeast Asia.

Once the military operation to invade Southeast Asia is launched, the 100,000 tons of aviation gasoline stored in the Pudong combat oil depot will play an important role.

Just two days ago, Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo was still secretly happy about his "preparation for the future".

Because if the military operation to invade Southeast Asia is launched and then find a place to build a combat oil depot, it will be too late in time and will miss the opportunity for war.

However, Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo was happy for less than two days and was hit by a blow.

The Chinese actually exploded the combat readiness oil depot in Pudong. The 100,000 tons of aviation gasoline stored in the combat readiness oil depot turned into a huge gasoline bomb, blowing up the entire combat readiness depot and even the naval port in Pudong, as well as the two cruisers, six destroyers and more than ten patrol boats anchored in the port!

Even Pudong's military airport was affected, and more than 50 attack aircraft were damaged and injured!

What makes Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo even more intolerant is that these more than 20 attack aircraft are dive attack aircraft!

According to the concept of the commander of the Navy Joint Fleet Iroru Yamamoto, the most critical factor that determines future naval warfare is the dive attack aircraft of the Japanese and American navies!

But now the whole family has lost more than fifty dive attack aircraft!
