Chapter 248 Becoming obedient
Luo Jiu: "Any important information?"
Tian Siyu said, "Yes, the telegram shows that because their planes have been destroyed one after another, Dongjing has transported 800 new planes and 1,000 pilots to land at Lian Port at 9 o'clock tomorrow night, preparing to launch a secret surprise attack."
The generals attending the meeting could not help but be shocked and said, "The Japanese have been fighting for so long, and they still have so much equipment?"
"Eight hundred planes? I'm afraid they will blow our fortifications to pieces."
The commander of the 17th Division, Qin Gang, looked at Luo Jiu and said, "Commander Luo, what should we do?"
Although they were all division commanders, Luo Jiu's military rank was major general, so everyone addressed him as "senior".
It's strange to say, there are only six of them now, without a base, no logistical supplies, and no normal configuration of a reorganized division, and they are just here to rely on friendly forces.
Fighting every day, going out to seize all kinds of equipment from the Japanese, and robbing all kinds of things. When I come back, I eat, drink and live with the friendly forces, and by the way, I direct everyone's next battle plan.
Cheng Yaoyao laughed and said that they were the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, and by the way, they also gave the magpie to the leader. She didn't know if Lao Jiang would have a heart attack if he knew about this.
Wei Sanbao once murmured to Qin Gang, "Are we too trusting our allies? We have already disclosed all our assets. Although we are on the united front now, what will we do if we drive away the devils and a war breaks out again in the future?"
Qin Gang said: "Let's wait until the devils are driven away first, otherwise we will all be in trouble and have no future."
The old subordinates around him reminded him, "But Jizhou is our base after all. Whether it is the brother troops coming to reinforce or the Red Army, they should all take your command suggestions as the priority. You should still fight for the right to speak and command."
"Me?" Qin Gang pointed at his forehead, "I just got promoted from regimental commander. These division commanders of brother units have a lot of experience and are senior. Who would obey me?
Besides, if I were to command, I wouldn't be able to take responsibility if we lost.
I think Commander Luo is in command very well, I won't argue with him, I can't win."
Luo Jiu is the kind of person who is born with a leadership aura. Whenever she opens her mouth, she can always give everyone reassurance.
No matter how big the problem is, no matter how much everyone argues or feels helpless, the problem will always be solved as soon as Luo Jiu arrives.
Gradually, everyone formed a tacit understanding. Whenever there was a dispute, someone would always jump out and say something to calm things down: "Don't get angry. Let's wait for Commander Luo to come and see what she says, okay?"
Even an old fellow like Lu Youhe, who was very unwilling and resentful at the beginning, became obedient after fighting a few battles.
One night a big battle ended and everyone was exhausted.
Lu Youhe fell asleep as soon as he came back. He got up at 2 a.m. to go to the bathroom and found Fubao eating roasted sweet potatoes in the yard. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Captain Hu, why aren't you resting so late?"
Fu Bao said: "Waiting for combat missions, there is still a meeting inside."
Through the window, Lu Youhe saw four people sitting around a table, drawing on a map with one hand and drinking coffee from a cup with the other.
The war was urgent during those days, and others only had to fight the big battles on the front battlefield. The Air Force Special Operations Division, in addition to the front battlefield, also had to destroy the Japanese arsenals, bomb their airports, steal planes, etc., and there were countless sneak attacks and bombing missions.
They only slept for one or two hours every day, and asked Tian Siyu to wake them up at any time if there was any emergency.
Lu Youhe saw it all and couldn't help but admire it deeply.
After hearing the Japanese army's telegram, Lu Youhe hurriedly said, "Commander Luo, you still have to make a decision on this matter."
Luo Jiu pulled the map over and took a look. His fingertips wandered over Jizhou and Liangang for a while. "Our Air Force Special Operations Division will go to Liangang to deal with the Japanese pilots and planes."
Qin Gang said: "Then we will hold on for a few days and wait for you to come back."
Luo Jiu shook his head, "Since the Japs are planning to launch a surprise attack, it can't just be bombing, there must be ground forces cooperating with them.
They are now stationed in Taicheng. In order to cooperate with the surprise attack, most of the defenders in Taicheng will definitely come out.
You will ambush at this high point, fight a siege, and then march north to seize the city and recover the lost territory."
"Ah? Us?" Qin Gang was worried. "With you not here, we are unsure."
Luo Jiu frowned, "There are eight divisions here now, nearly 100,000 people. If there are five more or five less of us, can't we fight?"
Lu Youhe said, “That’s not the case, but every time the soldiers see Commander Feng and Captain Hu rushing to the front, their morale is high and their blood is boiling. Suddenly you are not here, it is indeed a bit…”
Feng Qi couldn't help but say, "The five of us are going to deal with eight hundred planes, one thousand pilots, and the garrison at Lian Port. It's five against several thousand or even tens of thousands.
The current strength of Taicheng is definitely less than 100,000. Can't you defeat them one on one?"
Cheng Yaoyao also said: "Don't worry, everyone. Their arsenal was destroyed by us two days ago. The enemy's morale is low now, and their weapons and equipment are tight. They are different from before, and they can't be so arrogant anymore.
Moreover, our Red Army's reinforcements are arriving soon, and another 20,000 people will join the battle. Fight with confidence, and you will surely win."
This group of people are not afraid of fighting, but they have been defeated in the past and are confused.
In addition, the five of them are now regarded as supernatural beings, and even their own people feel that they are mythical.
Everyone assumed that they could win because of this buff, and suddenly the blessing of good fortune was gone, so everyone was a little scared.
But Luo Jiu gave the order, asking them to take Taicheng. Then, let's fight.
Their task is arduous, and Luo Jiu and others do not have an easy time either.
Because this time they plan to get these 800 planes, they have determined that within two months at most, they should be able to achieve a phased victory on the domestic battlefield. They must train their own air force, and the Air Force Special Operations Division cannot always have the same few people.
The Japanese sent them a big gift package, and they planned to accept it all. These 800 planes, let alone using them for training, would be a pleasure even if they were dismantled and used as scrap metal.
If you want something, you can't just drop the bomb and run away. You have to sneak in at close range and then collect it into the space.
As for those thousand pilots, Luo Jiu estimated that the Japanese talent pool might have been emptied.
Normally, 800 fighter planes should be equipped with at least 1,600 pilots, including a captain and a co-pilot. Most bombers of this period also had two driving seats.
But during this period, they relied on their advanced fighter planes to bombard the enemy's base. Their planes were at high altitudes, so the enemy could not hit them. They were also quiet, so they never failed in their sneak attacks. It was estimated that many of the enemy pilots had died, and they were running out of supplies.
While preparing to launch the attack, new upgrade conditions were updated in the space. Zhong Jialing found them outrageous at first glance.
It read: "Defeated 0/100 countries."
Zhong Jialing: "Is this what I meant? Forcing us to become Thanos?"
Luo Jiu smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. At worst, I can just stay here. But I guess it definitely doesn't mean to destroy a hundred countries. Let's go, let's practice on the Japanese first."
The five people put on diving equipment and dived into the water silently from the shore of Lian Harbor.
