Chapter 320: You are braver than me. I didn’t expect you to have such a big trick!
For the next half month, the base was a scene of bustling activity. The three main roads connecting the base had been half built, more than 100,000 disaster victims also helped build their own houses, and the arsenal was also working at full capacity to provide large quantities of cement and steel bars for the construction of the base. The entire base was extremely busy.
"Captain, our army has expanded by three battalions these days. I have arranged for them to go to the boot camp for training. After a month of training, they will undergo live-fire target shooting training for half a month, and finally battlefield simulation training. It will take two months in total, which is really a bit tight."
"Captain, can you give some advice to the college student and ask him to delay the plan? This hard-earned period of peace should not be easily broken. As long as we can get through this winter, I can train all the new recruits under my command. By then, no matter how many Japanese invaders come, we will not be afraid!" Xing Zhiguo persuaded with a bitter face.
Li Yunlong had no idea what Lin Zhenhua was up to. Xing Zhiguo's words made him wonder. Now that he had finally gotten some free time, he could take this opportunity to digest the existing territory and train new recruits. At the same time, he could accumulate more weapons and ammunition. Then he could launch a counterattack against the Japanese with a thunder-sweeping move. This was what Li Yunlong really wanted to do.
Otherwise, how could Li Yunlong, such a restless man, stay in the base obediently? A month had made him very depressed, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it. Now Lin Zhenhua didn't even give a definite answer, which made Li Yunlong feel a little uneasy.
"Old Xing, immediately notify the political commissar and the others to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting tonight. I have to find a way to pry open the college student's mouth and find out what he is up to two months later."
"Tomorrow, the college students will lead a fleet of transport planes to the transfer station and will stay there for at least three days. We must make this kid give an explanation tonight, otherwise he will not be allowed to leave tomorrow!"
Li Yunlong was really ruthless this time. He felt that it would not be a big deal to continue demolishing. He really didn't believe that Lin Zhenhua could make such a big noise. Could it be that he was planning to kill the commander of the 12th Army, Yoshio Shinozuka?
Li Yunlong's proposal was recognized by Zhao Gang and others. They also urgently needed to know what big thing Lin Zhenhua was planning to do in December. If they didn't find out, they wouldn't be able to sleep well. These days, they have been busy dealing with the affairs of the prefectures and cities, which has already made them exhausted. They even had to take time out to guess Lin Zhenhua's next action plan, which was really a bit overwhelming for everyone.
Lin Zhenhua received the order to attend a meeting at the regiment headquarters, but he did not take it seriously. After handing over the matters at hand, he arrived at the headquarters early, had lunch with everyone, and arranged for Xing Zhiguo to be responsible for the outer perimeter security, which shows how much importance they attached to it.
Lin Zhenhua didn't expect that Li Yunlong would actually arrange Deputy Commander Xing to be in charge of the outer perimeter security. This was beyond his expectations. He asked anxiously, "Old Li, what happened? You all looked so serious, and you didn't talk during the meal just now. Could it be that something went wrong at the base, but I didn't hear about it?"
Li Yunlong coughed lightly and asked seriously, "College student, you have been telling us that you are planning a big operation in December. Especially in the past half month, you have accelerated the mass production of bombers. What are you thinking? You must tell me the truth, otherwise you can't leave the base during this period. I will never let you go out and cause a big disaster. If you do that, I will not be able to explain to the brigade commander and the headquarters!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't expect that Li Yunlong wanted to ask about this matter. This matter was bound to happen in the future, but he didn't dare to reveal it easily. Now he has been forced into a desperate situation. If he doesn't tell the truth this time, his actions will most likely be restricted. In desperation, he decided to tell his plan in full. With the support of everyone, the probability of success of the plan will be much greater.
"Since everyone is so concerned about my action plan, I have nothing to hide. First of all, I have to make sure that the headquarters is very safe and ensure that the plan will not be leaked in advance. Now we need to check it carefully. In ten minutes, I will explain the action plan to everyone!"
Hearing Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, everyone immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Li Yunlong directly transferred the guard company over, and set up machine guns and artillery. Without his order, no one was allowed to approach the command center within 100 meters. In order to prevent eavesdropping, even the command center's telephone was completely cut off. The command center was also checked inside and out, which took a full half an hour before everyone sat down again.
Lin Zhenhua said solemnly, "I have increased the production of bombers these days in order to carry out a secret operation, which I call Operation Boomerang. The air supremacy in our country has basically been firmly controlled by the devils. Every time, the fighter planes can launch bombing operations against us at any time and anywhere, but we have no ability to fight back. We have been under attack. I decided to really start a revenge operation, and the goal is to bomb the devil's homeland."
"According to my understanding, due to frequent earthquakes in the Japanese homeland, most of the houses are made of wood. The effect of bombing against the Japanese is not as good as that of incendiary bombs. The eighth workshop of the arsenal is secretly manufacturing napalm incendiary bombs. The preliminary manufacturing of the bomb body has been completed and it is currently being rapidly stockpiled."
"As for napalm paste, the Sixth Chemical Plant is also secretly producing it. It will start assembling it half a month before the operation, so that it will not be delayed and can be used when the time comes. This time I want to teach the Japs a lesson. The war has spread to the Japs' homeland, and you are telling me that the Japs' civilians are innocent. I think this is complete nonsense. Without the Japs' civilians supplying ammunition and manpower, the Japs' war machine cannot be started at all!"
"The difficulty I'm facing now is that I've never flown over the Japanese mainland, nor have I conducted reconnaissance there before. I can't determine the target at the moment. I can only drop the napalm bombs I carry on my ship immediately after encountering the Japanese city. This is a very risky operation."
"I plan to dispatch 12 bombers and drop more than 20 tons of bombs on the enemy's city, so that the enemy can also feel the cruelty of war. This action is very bold. If it is leaked in advance, our base will be completely wiped out by the enemy's 12th Army. Before the action is successful, I don't plan to tell the action plan to anyone. After all, the more people know, the more dangerous it is. I don't even dare to talk in my sleep, for fear of leaking the battle plan."
"I have already demonstrated Operation Boomerang many times. In order to ensure that the bombers carrying out this mission can successfully fly over the Japanese and return safely, I have greatly increased the size of the bombers and adopted a four-engine layout for the first time, which can provide the bombers with more power and a longer range."
"For this Boomerang operation, I have paid a lot. The actual flight life of the bombers we produced is only 30 hours, which means that they will be completely scrapped after completing the mission. But I think it is worth paying such a high price. We want to show the devils that we have the ability to bomb their homeland. We can bring the war to the devils' homeland. The devils are afraid of power but not morality. If we want to make the devils not dare to use fighter planes to bomb civilians on a large scale in the future, we can only fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Only in this way will the devils learn their lesson."
"I know that my plan is too shocking, and many people may not even understand it. They think that it is not worth it for me to pay such a high price. After all, 12 bombers dropped more than 20 tons of bombs. Even if the bombing effect is good, it will not kill many people. At most, it will only burn some houses of the devils."
"But I think that no matter how much it costs, we have to do this plan. Having guns but not using them and having no guns to use are two completely different situations. We have to let the devils know that we are also capable of bringing the war to their homeland. Although the price we pay will be much greater than what we gain, I have no regrets. I am very stubborn about this matter. Even if I hit a wall, I will not turn back. I must knock down the wall!"
Lin Zhenhua expressed his determination at this moment. Li Yunlong and others were stunned with shock. They had thought before that Lin Zhenhua was planning an attack on the Japanese, but they never dreamed that Lin Zhenhua was so bold that he actually planned to send bombers to bomb the Japanese homeland. After fighting for so many years, they had never done such a thing. Even though they felt it was impossible in their hearts, they became proud of it one by one. Even if this plan could not be successfully implemented in the end, they felt that it had something to do with it.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but exclaimed, "Damn it, I, Li Yunlong, am already very courageous. Compared with you, a college student, I, Li Yunlong, am very timid. I am completely convinced this time. You, a college student, are the most courageous person in our independent regiment. It should be said that you are the most courageous person in northwest Shanxi. You are really daring and daring. No wonder I always thought you were holding back a big move. I didn't expect that I was right!"
"College student, bring me your action plan. No, you will never leave any paper records. It is very easy to leak secrets. Take this opportunity to tell us about your action plan and the performance of the bomber. I said that something is wrong with the arsenal during this period. The number of staff has almost doubled, but the production capacity of fighter jets has not increased. Even the production capacity of transport aircraft is the same. On the contrary, the production capacity of bombers has doubled. It seems that you have been prepared for it!"
"Don't hide it this time, kid. Hurry up and show us your wealth so that we can be prepared. At the same time, let us, a few cobblers, find loopholes for you. Regardless of whether the action will be carried out or not, let's make a good plan first. This way, we don't have to cram at the last minute. I don't want something to go wrong and let this action fail!"
