Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Liu Zhenhua's eyes sparkled with passion. Since the commander specifically asked him about the air force's training, it must be that he was preparing to send the air force to participate in the war.

If the flying squadron's sophisticated fighter jets fail to perform well, Liu Zhenhua could really go home and hug his children.

He also wanted to see the power of the MiG-15 jet fighter in actual combat.

"Good job! I didn't expect you to be faster than the original plan! It seems I didn't misjudge you!" Lin Tian's pupils dilated when he heard this and he praised. He had a big training buff, so it was understandable that the troops were training fast, but the difficulty of air force training was not comparable to that of infantry, artillery or armored troops.

I didn’t expect that Liu Zhenhua not only completed the task ahead of schedule, but also ensured quality and quantity. That’s really great.

The only threat to Lin Tian is the Japanese air force.

Now that this problem has been solved, Lin Tian feels more at ease.

"Zhenhua, the straight-line distance between Laowang Mountain and Taiyuan is 560 kilometers, and the combat radius of the MiG-15 fighter is 1000 kilometers!"

"Take off from Laowang Mountain and you will reach the sky above Taiyuan in just over ten minutes. As soon as our attack begins, you will lead your troops and use your air superiority to suppress the Japanese. You can also scout their movements!"

"In short, the air force's operations are under your command!"

Lin Tian patted Liu Zhenhua on the shoulder and said excitedly.

This is the first battle of the First Division Air Force, and Lin Tian is looking forward to it.

"Yes! Commander! We will ensure the completion of the mission!" Liu Zhenhua saluted solemnly.

"Hehe, Commander, actually our bomber squadron has been training for a few days..." Liu Zhenhua then smiled and said.

"Oh? I didn't expect you guys to be so fast. I originally thought that the fighter jets would be enough to be trained, but I didn't expect that you bombers have also started training. Zhenhua, Zhenhua, you are really good at hiding! Tell me, how is the bomber formation training going?" Lin Tian was overjoyed. Of course, he wanted to send bombers to bomb the devils. Liu Zhenhua's surprise came at the right time.

Liu Zhenhua was also surprised at the speed of the Air Force training. Although he couldn't figure it out, it was a good thing anyway. No matter why, the sooner the Air Force joins the battle, the better!

"Commander, the bombers have only been training for three days, and everyone is just accurate in simulating bombing, which is not that great..." Liu Zhenhua touched his nose and pretended to be awesome.

"Great! That's really fast! I don't care how accurate your bombs are, as long as you drop them on top of the enemy's heads!"

"By the way, how many groups of bombers have you trained?"

Lin Tian was very excited. With the participation of bombers, the chances of victory would be even greater. Apart from anything else, he had not used those high-powered bombs and napalm bombs in his hands yet. This time he had to treat the Japanese well.

A 107mm rocket or a 132mm Katyusha rocket is only loaded with a few dozen kilograms of explosives. Even if a whole artillery piece is fired, the total amount of ammunition is only a few hundred kilograms.

But aerial bombs are different. A 500-kilogram aerial bomb is enough to flatten a hill, and the shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to kill enemies within a radius of 500 meters.

Lin Tian also has more useful aerial bombs, 2000-kilogram bombs, one of which is enough to kill thousands of Japanese devils.

The Japanese would never have thought that there would be heavy bombers of the Eighth Route Army overhead, let alone 2000-kilogram bombs falling on their heads.

Even though the Japanese formation was very scattered and their lethality was limited, the B-29 heavy bomber did not drop only one bomb each time.

As for aerial bombs, the more the better. Lin Tian has plenty of them, so he can make as many as he wants.

"Well, we only trained two groups of bombers, because the fighter squadron is basically composed of experienced pilots. They can fly after a few days of training, but the bomber crew is more difficult to deal with."

"I pulled four key members of the fighter squadron to take up important positions in the bomber squadron, and the other positions were selected from the troops."

Liu Zhenhua seemed dissatisfied with the fact that he had only trained two groups of bombers. The two bombers did not seem to be of much use...

"That's great! Zhenhua, you did a great job! These two groups of bombers will be of great use in this operation!"

"I have a lot of bombs and napalm bombs here. Tell those two bombers to load up quickly. When I give the order, take off and bomb!"

Lin Tian was very satisfied. After all, this was something created from nothing.

Just two, two B-29 Super Fortress bombers, that's enough to give the Japanese a hard time.

Lin Tian was worried that the MiG-15 could only strafe and was of limited use. Now, once the bomber arrived, it could deal a devastating blow to the Japanese.

Liu Zhenhua felt Lin Tian's approving gaze and his confidence increased greatly, especially when he heard that Division 1 still had a large number of aerial bombs and napalm bombs, Liu Zhenhua was even happier.

Since he came to the First Division, he had not achieved any success and always felt inferior, especially in front of veterans like Zhou Weiguo. This battle was his chance to make achievements! It was also the time for the First Division Air Force to show off!

Liu Zhenhua nodded vigorously and went out to prepare. He wanted to tell every pilot the good news!

The troops had already had breakfast in the morning, and Lin Tian had finalized the general direction. The remaining troops then headed for Qucheng in an orderly manner.

This time, Laowangshan only left more than 500 logistics personnel to be responsible for livestock breeding and farm work in the base. Everyone else, including cooks and grooms, went to the front line with guns.

……

Ping'an County.

Yamamoto Ikki was almost unable to hold on. There were originally 3800 Japanese invaders and puppet troops in the city, but now there were less than 800 left, including more than 500 puppet troops.

Yamamoto was so angry that he was about to explode. Once these puppet soldiers were faced with a life-and-death situation, they would think of surrendering. In the past few days, there have been more than a dozen cases of puppet army rebellions.

If he hadn't been so ruthless, he would have been kidnapped by the puppet army and sent away to ask for credit.

"Tony! Where are the reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet? Is Commander Shouqi really going to watch us die without helping? Even if you don't save me, Yamamoto Ikki, you have to come to save Ping'an County!" Yamamoto Ikki listened to the insults from the Eighth Route Army outside the city and became furious. He grabbed Tony Dashu and asked anxiously.

"Report to His Excellency the Colonel! The latest news is that the vanguard of the reinforcements, Terauchi Marseille's 41st Brigade, has already started fighting with the Eighth Route Army outside Ping'an County!"

"It's just... the advancement is not very smooth at the moment, but... but, Lieutenant General Xi Guang's main force has also caught up, and I believe they will soon be able to break through the blockade and reach the city!"

Tony Dashu reported it quickly, but cursed in his heart, "What a bastard Yamamoto Ikki! He didn't even read the telegram himself but insisted on asking him. Isn't he crazy?"
