Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning
Chapter 870 Loss of Offensive Capability
The fighter planes of the first flight formation soon ran out of bullets, and the bombers also used up their bombs, and they all turned around and returned.
But within two minutes, the second flight formation arrived and continued to strafe and bomb for several minutes.
Next came the third flight formation. As the last air strike force, they did not have much time because it would soon be dark. They had to return to the airport and land safely before dark.
They had to use up all their bullets and drop all their aerial bombs in the shortest possible time, and to cause the greatest possible damage.
When the last fighter plane flew away, only wailing was left in the Japanese camp. Many Japanese soldiers looked at the devastation, broken limbs everywhere, and the miserable scene with dazed expressions.
The Japanese soldiers couldn't understand why their planes had always bombed the Chinese. Where had their planes gone? Where had their air superiority gone?
After dark, Kanichiro Ueno sat next to the conference table in the tent, his face serious and angry.
"Have the casualties and losses been counted?" he asked.
Chief of Staff Xiongxiong stood up and opened the folder and said, "In this bombing, as many as 746 brave men of our division were killed on the spot or by machine gun fire. 538 were slightly injured, and 423 were seriously injured. The wounded are currently being treated by the medical team!"
"837 guns were lost, including 17 light and heavy machine guns, 6 anti-aircraft machine guns, and the rest were Type 38 rifles. 33 large and small caliber artillery pieces were lost, and almost half of the entire division's heavy firepower was lost."
"70% of our cars, trucks, and horse-drawn carriages were destroyed. Only 22% of our ammunition and other military supplies remain. The food supply was completely destroyed in the explosion. If we don't gather food quickly, we will run out of food tomorrow and will almost lose our combat effectiveness..."
In the tent, the faces of the senior Japanese officers sitting on both sides of the conference table turned pale when they heard the reports of battle damage and casualties.
Division Commander Kanichiro Ueno clenched his white-gloved fists, his rage uncontrollable. He suddenly stood up, slammed his fist on the conference table, and roared, "Baga Yalu! What the hell is the Air Force Command doing? How dare they let the Chinese Air Force run so rampant?"
At this moment, a signalman opened the curtain and rushed in, "Report--"
Without waiting for the signalman to finish his words, Ueno Kanichiro, still furious, pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at the signalman: "Bang, bang, bang..."
He kept pulling the trigger until he had used up all the bullets in the magazine.
"Sir, division commander, please calm down, calm down!" Chief of Staff Kumao Ohashi hurriedly stepped forward and pressed down Ueno Kanichiro's arm holding the gun and persuaded him.
"Hu——Hu——" Kanichiro Ueno panted heavily.
Ohashi Xiongxiong said hurriedly, "He didn't call for help and broke into the meeting room without permission to eavesdrop on military secrets. He deserves to be shot on the spot. The Intelligence Department should investigate him thoroughly!"
Just one sentence gave Kanichiro Ueno a reason to shoot and kill people.
Kanichiro Ueno calmed down, patted Ohashi Kumao on the shoulder and accepted his kindness.
In the conference room, the other officers were silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Ohashi Xiongxiong saw the slain communications officer holding a folder. He walked over, bent down, picked it up, and opened it. He then looked up and said to Ueno Kanichiro, "Your Excellency, the Air Force Command sent a message saying that the airport has been repaired. Just two hours ago, 100 fighters and bombers were transferred here!"
"Starting tomorrow, we can fight the Chinese on the island for the right to accuse!"
Upon hearing this, Ueno Kanichiro couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! Why didn't they send a telegram two hours earlier? They waited until the Chinese bombed us to the point of losing our combat effectiveness before sending a telegram saying they had fighter planes?"
Ohashi Xiongxiong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, there's nothing we can do about it. Even if they sent the telegram two hours in advance, they would have just completed the transfer and would not have had the ability to fly and fight. We could only watch the Chinese flight formation leave."
The conference room fell silent again.
A full five minutes later, Ueno Kan'ichirō said to Ohashi Kumao, "Send a telegram to the 23rd Army Headquarters. Tell them that we've been bombed repeatedly by Chinese air formations, suffering heavy losses and having lost our offensive capability. We're afraid our operations on the island will have to be postponed. Report the casualties and supply losses, and have them dispatch food, military supplies, and ammunition as quickly as possible!"
"If the military insists on launching the attack on time, then we can only send other troops to take over. Until the logistical supplies catch up, our division will not be able to fight for the time being!"
"This is the only way for now!" Ohashi Kumao sighed.
At this time, an officer stood up and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander and Chief of Staff, we can still make do with a meal tonight, and the soldiers still have one or two rice balls in their pockets, but there will be no food to survive tomorrow morning. What will the warriors eat then?"
Upon hearing this, Ueno Kanichiro turned to Ohashi Kumao and said, "Ohashi-kun, until the supplies arrive, all the food and drink problems of the entire division will be left to you to solve!"
After saying that, he turned and left the tent.
After a moment's contemplation, Ohashi Xiongxiong said to the officers, "Tonight, each unit should send out grain collection teams within a 20-kilometer radius, especially in nearby towns and county towns. Ordinary farmers certainly don't have any grain stored at home, but rural landlords, wealthy merchants in towns, and granaries and oil stores in county towns should have food!"
"Go and requisition all the food from these places. I don't care what method you use. Tomorrow morning, I don't want to see our warriors hungry. Do you understand?"
All the officers stood up and bowed their heads: "Ha Yi!"
……
At 9 o'clock in the evening, at the Governor's Headquarters on the island.
Outside the meeting room, four fully armed guards stood guard, not allowing anyone to approach.
In the conference room, Zhang Yunhe waved a battle plan and said to the military commanders attending the meeting, "I've read the battle plan prepared by Yang Xiong, the commander of the First Regiment. It's very good and takes all aspects into consideration. After the revisions by the headquarters staff, I think it can be implemented. I'm sending it out now. Everyone, please take a look."
"What has been handed to you is what your units need to execute. It is not part of your combat mission, and it is not included in the combat plan you received."
At Zhang Yunhe's instruction, the combat staff distributed combat plans to the military commanders present.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Have you all finished reviewing your missions? If you have any questions, feel free to ask now!"
The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment raised his hand and asked, "Sir, are we strictly following the schedule in the battle plan?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "If you don't receive a call from me before the launch, then execute the combat mission according to the time and mission specified in the combat plan you received!"
"Of course, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Once the battle begins, you can make your own changes as long as it is beneficial to the battle!"
