Chapter 328: Target: bomb the Japanese island of Honshu. If you don't succeed, you will die! Th
Time passed by unknowingly and it was the end of November. There were only 11 days left before the launch of Operation Boomerang, and the plan began to count down. Lin Zhenhua felt it necessary to gather everyone together to complete the final deployment before the war.
After everyone arrived, Lin Zhenhua arranged for the monks to be in charge of guarding outside. Duan Peng stayed in the transit station to be responsible for the transportation of materials. He would return in ten days. The monks had been in charge of the security of the base these days.
"After our efforts over the past few days, all preparations are nearing completion. Six branch roads and two backup airports have been built, and the base's communication network has been built both above and below ground to ensure that there will be no communication problems on the battlefield."
"The arsenal has produced a large number of weapons these days. The training work at the battlefield simulation training base will be completed in three days. The next step is to familiarize ourselves with the positions, distribute guns and ammunition, and complete the early deployment of various troops while keeping things tight on the outside!"
"The Boomerang Operation Plan has been perfected, and the modification and reinforcement of the four-engine bombers have also been completed. I originally planned to give our current bombers a domineering name, but when I thought about their lifespan of only 30 hours, I gave up the idea."
"According to the route I planned, it only takes 11 hours to reach the Japanese mainland from our base at full speed. Two hours of civil aviation time is reserved, which means we will spend 26 hours in the air. Bombing takes one hour, but half an hour is enough. In order to find valuable bombing targets, I can only prepare more time. This means that we only have three hours to turn around. If we include the return trip, we only have one and a half hours to change the combat target. I decided to control it within one hour so that there will not be much risk!"
"Our first target is the Japanese's Honshu Island. The reason why we didn't choose Kyushu Island, which is closest to us, is mainly because of the impact. After all, Kyushu Island is quite far away from the Japanese's Honshu Island. In addition, the Japanese blockade at sea makes it difficult to pass the message over. Therefore, we can only take the risk of launching an air strike on the Japanese Honshu Island."
"The only good news is that the Japanese haven't suffered any air raids on their homeland. The previous paper air raid in Nanjing didn't actually play any role. In addition, a large area of our country has been lost, and we are no longer able to launch a long-distance expedition against the Japanese. The Japanese will never expect that we will launch a surprise expedition against them at this time. The chance of success is 90%. The only danger is that if we are intercepted by the Japanese Zero fighters on the way back, the losses will be very heavy!"
Lin Zhenhua was telling the truth. The speed of the Japanese Zero fighter was hundreds of kilometers higher than the bomber he designed. Even he was prepared to go there without returning.
The only hope is the turbocharger he developed, which can greatly increase the speed of the bomber in a short period of time, but how much it can increase is a big question mark for him. He can only make more preparations in advance. As for the final result, he can only leave it to fate!
Li Yunlong was the first to step forward and said, "After these days of expansion, the troops have expanded to 5000 people. Among them, have been trained. The remaining people have only undergone simple queue training. We will take ten days to conduct live-fire shooting training for them to ensure that the basic training outline is completed before the war begins!"
"Although our troops have expanded so much, their combat effectiveness is actually very weak. The troops are basically full of new recruits. The ratio of new recruits to veterans has reached a terrifying 10 to 1, and that's the average result. In some battalions, it's even 20 to 1. It's really worrying me to death!"
"But if we don't blindly expand the army, there is no way to defend such a large base. After discussing with Lao Ding, Lao Kong and I, we have completed the reorganization plan. Today is a good time to have a good chat with you. If you have any opinions, you can raise them so that we can make improvements!"
"Our base is now quite large, so we must increase our troop deployment in terms of defense. The original two garrison battalions can no longer meet the current needs. After discussion, we decided to place six battalions in the base to be responsible for the security of the base. We will begin to set up checkpoints between villages to prevent the infiltration of small groups of Japanese troops. The strength of each battalion is tentatively set at 800 people, and the headquarters will arrange another 200 people for defense. The number of troops responsible for the internal defense of the base is tentatively set at 5000!"
"In terms of the armored force, we have formed a total of four battalions. The first armored battalion is equipped with 64 Bull tanks and 750 people. The second armored battalion is equipped with 96 Rabbit armored vehicles, half of which are tracked and half are wheeled, with a total of 950 people. The first two battalions are armored forces, and the last two battalions are support forces. In order to improve their mobility, each battalion is equipped with 60 three-wheeled motorcycles. Due to the insufficient production capacity of the arsenal, each battalion is now only equipped with 40 vehicles. It is estimated that in another half a month, the gap will be filled!"
"In order to distinguish them from other battalions, these two are temporarily designated as Special Battalion 1000 and Special Battalion 3700. Each battalion has people. The total strength of the armored forces adds up to people. They will serve as a sharp knife force in our base! This is also the number one main force in our base. If we don't go out, it's fine. But once we go out, we must inflict heavy damage on the Japanese!"
"As our real trump card, the armored forces are listed separately and are no longer under the command of each regiment. Next, I will talk about the situation of the three regiments. We plan to assign four battalions to each regiment, and we are armed to the teeth in terms of weapons and equipment. Anyway, I have never been so rich, and I never thought that the independent regiment would surpass the Japanese in terms of weapons and equipment!"
"According to the three of us, each regiment will be composed of two infantry battalions. Each infantry battalion will have 900 men, and each battalion will have exactly six companies. They will be equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars to ensure that each company has a very complete firepower deployment. When fighting the Japanese, one company will definitely be able to confront a small squad of the Japanese head-on."
"This time it's not that our three leaders are so ambitious that they want to destroy our prestige. It's just that there are too many new recruits and the combat effectiveness of the troops is declining too quickly. We can only rely on the advantages of manpower and firepower to reduce the casualties of the troops and win the battle at the same time!"
"In addition to the two infantry battalions, we also deployed an artillery battalion and an anti-aircraft battalion. The two battalions have the same number of people, both 800 people. Equipped with various types of artillery currently available in our independent regiment, the combined firepower of the two is equivalent to % of an artillery regiment of the Japanese. We are definitely qualified to fight them head-on!"
"In total, each of our regiments has 3400 people. The three regiments combined are responsible for the defense of the six positions in the base, so we are very confident that we can hold on. I just carefully calculated that these troops add up to 1100 people. The remaining people have already been arranged and divided into two battalions in advance. One is responsible for protecting the safety of the arsenal, temporarily named Guard Battalion , and the other is responsible for protecting the safety of the airport, temporarily named Guard Battalion !"
"The two battalions originally responsible for the airport ground service and the arsenal guard are not included in the calculation, and these two battalions will not be used. Even at the most critical moment, their mission will not be changed. In future battles, these two battalions will not participate. The only thing they have to do is to stick to the periphery of the airport and the arsenal and protect their safety!"
"As for the personnel appointments and equipment configurations of each unit, the three of us have already prepared a list in advance. After the meeting, you can take a good look at it and raise any issues you find in a timely manner!"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, wanting him to tell everyone about the base's financial situation so that everyone could be reassured. Zhao Gang received Li Yunlong's signal, calmed down, cleared his throat and said, "After our efforts these days, the results are very gratifying! Let me first talk about the food issue that everyone is most concerned about. After our efforts these days, the food gap has been very small. We have already stored 6000 million catties of food, enough for our 50 people to eat for four months. This is not counting the compressed biscuits and canned beef we have stored, which weigh more than 200 million catties in total. This is far beyond my previous expectations."
"Our food crisis has been temporarily resolved. The main reason for this is that the food harvested in our base is not included in the calculation. Even I did not expect those merchants to be so crazy. These days, they transport millions of kilograms of food every day, which makes me dumbfounded."
Li Yunlong interrupted at this time and said, "Old Zhao, we sold all the medicines in stock, and we also sold off the guns and ammunition in stock. The reason why there is so much food is that these merchants are not fools. More than half of them are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other grains. They will not miss such a good opportunity to make money. Otherwise, where can we buy so much food?"
"Sweet potatoes in particular have a very high yield. One cart can hold thousands of pounds of this stuff, and hundreds of horse-drawn carts can hold 100,000 pounds. There are so many merchants trading with us, but they only brought in 30 million pounds of grains, which is beyond my previous expectations! These bastards will never sit idle. If they have such a good opportunity, they will definitely grab it. According to my estimation, in the next half month, we will also harvest a large amount of sweet potatoes, potatoes and other grains!"
"For our base, it is better to have something to eat than nothing to eat. The weather has been very good these days. We must hurry up and store the sweet potatoes and potatoes. At the same time, we must use our processing plant to dry the sweet potatoes and potato chips as quickly as possible and store them!"
"In addition, we also need to study various ways to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, and make them into potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli. In short, we must not let these potatoes and sweet potatoes go bad in large quantities due to improper storage!"
