Chapter 401 Air dominance

Zhang Yunfei is well aware of the importance of air supremacy. This time, since his 36th Army has an absolute air superiority, he must give full play to this advantage.

After reading this combat plan, a smile appeared on Zhang Yunfei's lips.

The next morning, the pre-war mobilization meeting of the 36th Army Group.

The command center of the 36th Group Army was very lively, and the huge conference room was full of people. Even the commanders of the 10 columns came to attend the meeting.

When we learned that it was a major war, everyone seemed very happy and in a very high mood. They had reached the conference room and were chatting happily together.

At about 9 a.m., Zhang Yunfei came to the conference room surrounded by Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Liu Dazhu, Fang Zheng and others.

When everyone saw the commander-in-chief coming in, they stopped talking one after another. The huge conference room immediately became quiet and a burst of thunderous applause burst out.

Zhang Yunfei and others sat on the rostrum in front, and Zhang Yunfei personally presided over the meeting.

Looking around, Zhang Yunfei raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet. Zhang Yunfei said in a pride: "Hello, comrades! On June 5, the Japanese attacked the American Pearl Harbor. I believe many people here know about this......"

Zhang Yunfei introduced in detail the situation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and based on his own point of view, he briefly analyzed the impact of the Pearl Harbor incident and the opportunities it brought to the 36th Army.

Finally, Zhang Yunfei emphasized the meeting discipline and required everyone to strictly keep the content of the meeting confidential. Finally, Zhang Yunfei announced his decision and prepared to launch a large-scale counterattack on North China.

After hearing Zhang Yunfei's decision, everyone was confident and inspired, especially the commanders of the 10 columns, all their eyes shining. Everyone had been holding it in for too long and had long wanted to fight.

Next, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, informed everyone of the combat plan. This combat plan has been revised and the intensity of air strikes has been increased. It also reported to Yan'an for approval.

The meeting lasted for a morning. After the meeting, the commanders of the participating troops were all happy and returned to their troops station happily, and began to prepare for the battle.

Specific combat plans and tasks will be sent to the hands of each participating troops through the radio.

June 12, 1940.

On the 7th day after the Pearl Harbor incident, the 36th Army's strategic counterattack against the Japanese North China Front began.

Originally, Zhang Yunfei was planning to develop a year or two before launching a large counterattack against the Japanese, but once the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they greatly advanced this strategic counterattack. Now they can only fight and work hard to develop.

Fortunately, there are Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Liu Dazhu and other right-hand assistants in the war, and Fang Zheng, the development base area. No matter how busy Zhang Yunfei is, he will not be busy. Everyone can share a lot of work for Zhang Yunfei.

Now, the United States has launched a major war mobilization. With the release of the Wartime Law, the entire state machine has been running at high speed. The stolen Pacific Fleet is also being reorganized quickly. An aircraft carrier and several battleships allocated to the Pacific Fleet have also been in place.

Several shipyards in the United States are now driving at full speed. They are working hard to build various ships day and night, but they are afraid that in just one year, a large number of new ships will be launched one after another.

The time for counterattacking the Japanese North China Front Army is fully ripe.

This time, according to Yan'an's deployment, the Eighth Route Army will also cooperate with the 36th Army to fight together and launch a large-scale counterattack on the Japanese.

At dawn on June 12, Datong and Taiyuan Airport were busy, with a large number of ground crews filling up the Mustang fighter jets and hanging aviation bombs one by one.

There were 10 Mustang fighter squadrons in the two airports, and 240 Mustang fighter jets lined up in neat rows on the apron, with a pilot ready to go.

After several expansions, Datong and Taiyuan Airports have been the two largest airports of the 36th Army. Each airport can accommodate two or three hundred aircraft without any problem.

At seven o'clock in the morning, facing the rising sun, teams of pilots lined up in neat rows, trotting all the way to their respective planes, and boarded their own fighter planes nimblely.

When boarding the plane, Mustang fighters, the transparent overall nacelle slowly closed, and Mustang fighters filled with fuel and air bombs slid to the runway in turn and flew into the blue sky.

Each airport has hundreds of fighter jets. After completing the formation in the air, it was like a dense area covering the sky and a dense area, heading straight to the two main airports of the Japanese North China Front Army, Beiping Airport and Shijiazhuang Airport.

The purpose of this air strike is very obvious, which is to quickly destroy a large number of Japanese aircraft at lightning speed, causing Japanese to completely lose air supremacy.

................

Beiping, the command of the Japanese North China Front Army.

The Pearl Harbor incident a few days ago made many Japanese devils immersed in joy. Even the large number of senior Japanese personnel from the North China Front Army of the Japanese devils also increased their confidence in establishing the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle. Many senior Japanese generals began to brag there again, "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is invincible."

The Japanese command center was also full of peace. Even the Japanese commander, Okamura Yasuji, felt that his life has been so comfortable recently.

The Eighth Route Army, which was very fierce in North China, also stopped a few months ago. Its big opponent, Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army, has been very "stagnant" in the past six months and there is not much sign of attacking itself.

During the peaceful days for several consecutive months, not only did Okamura Yanji not feel the atmosphere of war, but even many Japanese troops below were lazy all day long and very relaxed.

Now the former permanent divisions of the North China Front Army have fallen to the Southeast Asian battlefield, and the ones that have been added are all Class B or C divisions, and some are even some local garrison brigades.

Although the total number of the entire North China Front Army has not decreased, and all combatants plus auxiliary personnel, the total number of the entire Japanese North China Front Army has reached 500,000, but its combat effectiveness has decreased to a certain extent.

Compared with the formerly established divisions, these newly added divisions still have a certain gap in combat effectiveness. Because their combat effectiveness has declined, they were caught off guard by a hundred regiment battle of the Eighth Route Army a few months ago and suffered heavy losses.

The Beiping Airport, outside the suburbs of Peking, is one of the three major airports of the Japanese North China Front Army. The most docked aircraft are among the three airports. There are fighter jets with more than one squadron and more than one squadron are stationed all year round. In addition, there are many bombers and transport aircraft, with a total of nearly 50 aircraft.

Not only were there a large number of planes docked at the Japanese Beijing Airport, but there were also many pilots, ground crews and a large number of security forces at the airport, with a total of several thousand people.

The defense force alone has a field wing, which can be said to be highly conservative, and it also shows how much Okamura Yasuji attaches importance to this airport.

The second largest airport of the Japanese North China Front Army, Shijiazhuang Airport, also has more than 30 aircraft, and the defense force is also a strengthening field brigade. With a large number of pilots and ground crews, the total number of personnel also exceeds more than 2,000.

On the morning of June 12, the Japanese were at Peking Airport.

Due to the long-term lack of war, the Japanese aircraft rarely dispatched, and they were all docked neatly on the apron. The Japanese fighters were basically mid-island fighters.

The Japanese Zero fighter jets are now equipped with the navy. The Japanese army troops in China are still equipped with the relatively backward old-style mid-island fighter jets.

Due to the long-term lack of war, the Japanese pilots at the airport seemed relatively lazy. Many Japanese were still thinking about whether to go to the city to gamble for a few times or find Miss Hua.

The Japanese were in charge of the airport guards. Many soldiers looked at the pilots in groups, as if they were leaving the airport again and going to the city of Peking for fun and leisurely.

The Japanese in these field corps were full of envy and thought to themselves that these pilots were treated very well. Not only were the food standards much higher than theirs, but they could also go to Peking City every few days to enjoy themselves.

As a soldier in the field wing, he does not have this treatment. Even if there is no war, he can only stay at the base honestly. Those who should stand guard must stand guard and those who should train must train. If you want to go out, at least your own squadron leader must personally approve it.

When many Japanese pilots were about to leave the airport to enjoy themselves, suddenly, a sharp alarm sound broke the tranquility of the airport. Many Japanese soldiers' expressions remained unchanged when they heard such an alarm.

Although such an alarm has not been around for a long time, it is located near its front headquarters, with heavy troops stationed everywhere. I don’t know which Chinese army is coming to the airport again.

A few months ago, there was a ** army, about a few hundred people in a battalion. I don’t know why I touched the edge of the airport, and such an alarm was also sounded.

At that time, all the Japanese were nervous and thought that there were a large number of Chinese teams coming to play at their airport. Later, they found that it was a unit of hundreds of people. In the end, the Japanese successfully repelled the troops, and the Japanese airport was intact.

This time, when he heard the alarm again, many Japanese devils disagreed and prepared to pick up their weapons and teach this Chinese army that was ignorant of life and death.

The Japanese pilots who were walking outside the airport just stopped and were not ready to enter the battle state immediately.

Obviously, these Japanese pilots didn't take it seriously. The Japanese pilots thought it was the ground force of the Central Team. There was a wing guard force at the airport, so there was no need to take action on their own.
