Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Ma Leizi looked towards Rehe with some concern. After the main forces of the 1st and 2nd Brigades left, Zhang Mazi's 4th Brigade went over to fill in the gaps. Although it was still in the process of reorganization, this guy was also a good fighter. Seeing others making achievements, he certainly couldn't sit idle.

At this moment, at the junction of Rehe and the Northeast, there are about hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops still entrenched here, but they have received orders from above that before the 72nd Division fights with the Russian army, they must strictly avoid fighting with the 72nd Division. Shifting the disaster eastward is the strategy formulated by the headquarters, and no one can violate it.

If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. In the past half month, Zhang Maozi has been constantly having his men create friction with the Japanese, forcing the Japanese to retreat more than ten kilometers. The originally well-built defense lines have all fallen into Zhang Maozi's hands.

At this moment, this guy is inspecting the Aohan airport.

"I just received an order to concentrate our superior forces to launch a devastating attack on the Japanese First Division. You must be prepared. If you hurt the Japanese, you'll be in trouble..."

Li Qiankun came to see Zhang Maozi in a jeep with Li Shaoyi's order, and reminded the army to make preparations in this regard.

"Go ahead and fight with confidence. Although my Fourth Brigade has never fought any tough battles, our brothers are not immune to hardship. If the Japanese really come, we will never let them get away with it. You don't have to worry about me."

Through the small-scale battles in the past few days, Zhang Maozi has come to realize that although his army is indeed composed of new recruits, new recruits can still win against the Japanese army, and with the support of tanks and armored vehicles, it is much more comfortable than in Peiping, where they were timid, but here they can just go for it.

"Then I'll go fight without worry."

To be honest, Li Qiankun was a little worried about Zhang Maozi's Fourth Brigade, but Zhang Maozi had fought tough battles before, and his Fourth Brigade had not been idle these days, carrying out bandit suppression tasks throughout Rehe and making sneak attacks on the Japanese defense lines, and basically had no defeats.

"The Japanese First Air Division has retreated to Liaoyuan. That's not our place. If you guys parachute out, the chances of you coming back are slim."

Zhang Maozi said with some concern, no matter what Li Shaoyi said or what other superiors said, pilots are the most valuable in our team. When fighting on their own territory, once they parachute, there will be someone to pick them up within half an hour, because a search team driving jeeps has been deployed in the combat area. But on the enemy's territory, we may not have this ability.

"There are always casualties on the battlefield. We can't just ignore combat outside our area because pilots are so valuable. If that's the case, how long will it take to defeat the First Air Division?"

Li Qiankun also felt sorry for these pilots, but the battlefield is not a game of house. Any branch of the military must be prepared to sacrifice themselves for the country, especially these pilots.

"Then, based on your estimate, roughly draw out some areas. I've just formed a special forces company. Have them help the search team. Even though that's in Japanese-occupied territory, these guys have been carrying out surprise attacks lately. As long as they have enough fuel, they can get back."

Zhang Maozi thought of his own special forces company. This was what Li Shaoyi had said before. Every infantry brigade must first form a special forces company, find the best soldiers in the entire brigade to participate, and perform some special tasks.

"Thank you brothers for me. I'll send you the map later. It's confidential..."

"Brother, I understand. Apart from me and the commander of the special forces company, I will never let anyone else see it."

Zhang Maozi patted his chest and said, Li Qiankun would not waste any more words here, and hurried back to formulate a battle plan. He would soon send out the largest bomber fleet to launch a surprise attack on the First Flying Division's airport in Liaoyuan.

Of course, before the surprise attack, we have to make proper arrangements around our airport. There are three anti-aircraft companies nearby, equipped with fifteen German 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

This is the main force for air defense. In addition, there are a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and 40mm anti-aircraft guns, but compared with the German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, they are a bit inferior.

When a shell from this thing explodes in the air, the flying shrapnel can damage aircraft within hundreds of meters, especially slower-flying Japanese aircraft. It is so accurate that every shot hits one.

Now is a good time for a surprise attack. After the Japanese 1st Air Division retreated to Liaoyuan, they believed that they were not close to Aohan, so there would not be too much danger. The original air patrol of one sortie per hour has now become one sortie every two hours.

Of course, this is also the reason for the lack of aviation fuel. Japan does not produce oil on its own. There is plenty of oil in the Northeast, but the Japanese cannot dig it up.

They are just like the current Longguo. All fuel is imported. The country has little foreign exchange reserves. Every time they buy fuel, it is like cutting the Japanese's flesh.

Therefore, whether it is the Air Force or the Army, they are very cautious when using fuel. Compared with the 72nd Division, it is very appropriate to describe them as prodigal sons and poor households.

It took Li Qiankun about half an hour to formulate a battle plan. Targeting the First Air Division in Liaoyuan, Li Qiankun planned to send three batches of air strikes, totaling more than 400 sorties.

The main force of the air attack was 190 Stuka dive bombers, escorted by 60 fighters.

The first batch consisted of ninety Stuka bombers and thirty-two Bf109 fighters.

At this moment, these planes are ready. After the expansion of Aohan Airport, there are a total of four runways for them to take off, and eight aircraft of various types can take off at a time.

"This battle concerns the safety of all our troops in Rehe. I hope everyone will give it their all."

Li Qiankun was very clear about the importance of this battle. If we won, the Japanese First Air Division would lose their combat effectiveness, and we would not have to face the danger from overhead in any army. Although the First Air Division's air strikes were not strong during this period, they also caused us hundreds of casualties.

According to Li Shaoyi's request, this time we have to clip the wings of Japan's First Air Division. Do you think that you can just retreat to Liaoyuan and forget about it?

If we don’t see your burning remains in our 72nd Division, then we have to blow you up!

Bomb you until you can no longer take off and fight!
