Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 691 The war cannot be dragged on any longer. We must force the Japanese to fight a decisive

"Attention, all aircraft, heading 362, target Datongbao Airport, maintain an altitude of meters. Visibility tonight is very good. Follow the navigation lights closely and don't fall behind!"

Lin Zhenhua held the intercom in his hand and gave a few more instructions with some concern, then drove the heavy bomber towards Datongbao Airport.

"College student, the Japanese have gained a lot of advantages in today's daytime air battle. We must teach them a lesson. I have ordered Zhuzi to mobilize two artillery battalions and a rocket launcher battalion to lurk near the Japanese camp and launch a night attack on them."

"The night attack on the ground will be led by the artillery battalion and the rocket launcher battalion, and the two armored vehicle battalions will serve as guards. The night attack will be launched at 11 o'clock tonight. We must bomb the enemy's airport at the same time, not too early or too late, otherwise we will not be able to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack!"

"Lao Kong and Lao Ding will also launch a night attack at the same time. Since we have decided to launch a counterattack, we should make it louder and make it harder for the Japanese to figure out our next plan. Only in this way can we deal a huge blow to the Japanese!"

Lin Zhenhua nodded in agreement and replied in a brisk tone: "Old Li, tonight's night attack is the beginning of a major counterattack. We can't just defend without attacking. We must carry the war to the enemy's occupied areas. Only in this way can we ensure stable production in the rear."

"It is already mid-November and the weather has turned cold. Winter uniforms for the troops are being urgently produced and are expected to be completed and shipped to the front line by early December."

"We must seize the current favorable opportunity and launch rounds of counterattacks against the devils. We should use our firepower advantage to continuously consume the devils' manpower and force them to fight us in advance."

"For us right now, the sooner we fight the decisive battle, the better our situation will be. We have occupied a large amount of territory before, but we have not completely digested it. If we cannot end the war on the front line as soon as possible, we will not be able to spare the energy to manage the territory we have conquered."

"It's not a big problem in the short term, but if it lasts for a very long time, the consequences will be disastrous. This is why I went against all odds and launched a tactic of attacking instead of defending, in order to end the war on the front line as soon as possible."

"Especially after the Japanese won the Battle of Midway, the impact on us was very great. The news we received before was wrong. The Japanese navy defeated the Allied naval fleet and successfully captured Midway. This can be called a turning point in the Pacific War. The days to come will only be more difficult. If we cannot establish our own advantages in a very short period of time, we are likely to be consumed bit by bit by the Japanese."

"Although the Japanese's industrial strength is far inferior to that of the Allies, fighting is not just about weapons and equipment. The most important thing is people. It is better to rely on ourselves than on others. We must launch a major counterattack as soon as possible and recapture the military factories in the Northeast. Our top priority is the Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district."

"The brigade and the headquarters have already gone to Shandong and Henan provinces and established new bases there. They will not develop in our northwest Shanxi region in the short term. Our Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district must shoulder a big responsibility and open up the material channels with the other two provinces as soon as possible to provide material assistance to the brigade and the headquarters."

The two chatted for nearly two hours before they decided on the next combat strategies. At this time, they had already arrived in the vicinity of Datong Fort.

Relying on the system radar, Lin Zhenhua accurately found the location of Datongbao Airport. He checked the time and found that it was only 11 minutes until 15 o'clock in the evening. He immediately issued the order for pre-war preparations.

"Attention, all aircraft! Correct your course immediately and prepare to attack the enemy's Datongbao Airport with me. According to the information we received in advance, the enemy has deployed more than 80 combat aircraft here. Our goal is to destroy all of the more than 80 combat aircraft here."

"It is now 48:12 pm. There are only minutes left until the attack. Each bomber squadron will be assigned attack targets according to the pre-determined combat missions."

Five minutes later, the three bomber squadrons accurately entered the bombing route. In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, the bombing altitude was directly set to three thousand meters, and a horizontal bombing method was adopted, which greatly improved the safety of the bombers.

"Enter the attack route immediately, open the bomb bay door, and prepare to start the attack!"

At Lin Zhenhua's command, the three bomber squadrons flew straight to the Datongbao Airport of the Japanese in a pre-arranged formation. The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery troops stationed near the airport did not neglect their duties. Dozens of searchlights kept shining into the sky, searching for traces of enemy aircraft.

With only two minutes left before the attack, the Japanese searchlight battalion discovered the incoming enemy bombers and immediately sounded the air defense alarm. The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery battalion, which was on high alert, immediately opened fire and kept firing into the sky!
