the world is at stake

Chapter 49 'Stuka' Comes to Join in the Fun?

"Let the Kuomintang find a way to provide fuel to the Turkish Communist Party. What kind of magical situation is this?"

The imperial capital, Zhongnanhai.

Xiao Jinlang held a position of 'external liaison' in the Government Affairs Council, and also occupied a room in this ancient royal garden to work.He received a telegram from the United States, and after translating the telegram, he found that Zhou Qingfeng was messing up again.

They forced Yu Jishi to get Qian Xuesen and other Chinese scientists back, and lured the Kuomintang President's bodyguard to buy fuel.The quantity is on the order of millions of tons, completely exceeding the current domestic fuel reserve capacity.

"This kid is real. I just mentioned to him that there is a shortage of fuel in the country. He just got so much fuel, and there is no place to store it all over the country."

Xiao Jinlang was dumbfounded by the news.

Oil is the lubricant of modern industry and warfare.But it is not enough to have oil, one must have refining capabilities.At present, mainland China has neither oil nor refining capacity.

Zhou Qingfeng really got 200 million tons of fuel oil, which can greatly promote the development of domestic industry.Xiao Jinlang shook his head at this, so he could only write a report to the prime minister, requesting to coordinate the construction of oil storage facilities.

At this moment, the time has come to February 51, and the fifty "Freedom Ships" prepared by Zhou Qingfeng from the United States are sailing to the mainland in batches, and they are expected to arrive in mid-March.

How to get the fleet to Hong Kong safely has become a difficult task, because at the moment there are still a large number of islands in the southeast coast controlled by the Kuomintang.With the advantage of its navy and air force, it has blocked and harassed the mainland.

After Lao Xiao finished his report on oil storage preparations, he wanted to write a suggestion on how to deal with the stubborn coastal enemies as soon as possible, otherwise the ship would be wrecked at the door of the house when it came, and the loss would be too great.

But as soon as I started writing, the secretary sent me the latest briefing on the domestic situation.

First, the PLA Air Force has organized a regiment of 24 'Tu-4's to bomb Dachen Island off the coast of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province since yesterday.

"Hehe...the CCP is no longer here, and I'm starting to learn how to bomb. I also wanted to say that we should do it in advance, which is really ahead of time. There will be 24 planes in one shot. Lao Jiang who hid in Taiwan should have a headache."

Dachen Island is less than [-] kilometers away from Taizhou.

After retreating from the mainland, the Kuomintang bullied the weak navy of the Turkish Communist Party, and stationed warships here as a stronghold for counterattacking the mainland, and blocked the coast for many years.

The mainland has been harassed by the Kuomintang troops on Dachen Island, and suffered great losses. The PLA did not gather enough strength to liberate Yijiangshan Island until 55, forcing Lao Jiang to withdraw the garrison of Dachen Island.

It's good now, the PLA's warships didn't come, but the bombers came.

'Tu-4' went during the day, and most of the pilots were from the Soviet Air Corps, who dropped bombs at low altitude to improve the accuracy.The Kuomintang on the island was unprepared for the bombing, and the docks, positions, camps, and warehouses were all recruited.

'La-11' controlled the field, 'Il-2' licked the ground, and 'Tu-4' smashed the field. The bombing lasted all day, blinding the Kuomintang on the island.

Judging from the report, the PLA Air Force's morale was greatly shaken by this bombing—it couldn't deal with the US Air Force on the Korean battlefield, and couldn't it deal with the Kuomintang scum nesting in Taiwan?

The troops have already reported to the Military Commission, saying that the conditions for solving Dachen Island have been met, and the Kuomintang's sea and air blockade is about to collapse, and they have applied for night bombing of Taiwan.

"Alright, set an alarm clock for Lao Jiang to remind him to get up and pee at night."

Xiao Jinlang was delighted to see this kind of news. The help of the 'Holy Light' team has greatly accelerated the development of domestic military power.Tanks, airplanes, cannons, trucks, and a large number of heavy equipment are continuously strengthening PLA.

This is to break the coastal blockade five years in advance, which is of great benefit to economic development.In particular, hundreds of 'Freedom Ships' will arrive in Shanghai soon, and coastal security has become crucial.

The defeat of Jinmen in 49 greatly shocked the PLA.This seriously delayed the progress of the domestic liberation of coastal islands and the settlement of Taiwan, and continued the life of the Kuomintang for decades.

"Before, the Volunteer Army Air Force used radio positioning to attack and bomb the US aircraft carrier in the east coast of North Korea, successfully forcing the enemy's naval aviation to stay away from the coastline.

Now that the defenders of Dachen Island have been defeated by bombing alone, they should start thinking about taking Kinmen and Matsu islands again. "

Xiao Jinlang rubbed his hands excitedly, but he didn't know that at the underground headquarters of the Shilin Mansion in Taipei, Lao Jiang was throwing a tantrum and scolding 'Niang Xipi'.

Gui Yongqing, the naval commander of the Kuomintang, was present impressively, his face tightened.His adjutants came to report one after another as if reporting a funeral.

"President, Commander, gentlemen, just got the news that the 'Taiping' ship was bombed and sunk. Commander Hu sent us a report, requesting support."

'Slinger Hu' is Hu Zongnan.

Zhou Qingfeng flapped his wings indiscriminately, causing Hu Zongnan, who originally arrived at Dachen Island in September 51, to run ahead of schedule to form the 'Anti-Communist National Salvation Army'.At this moment, he has more than 9 people under him, and he also commands the Kuomintang defenders on many surrounding islands, and his strength is not bad.

The terrain of Dachen Island is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Before the war, Hu Zongnan was so arrogant that he used the pseudonym 'Qin Dongchang' to rectify the island, vowing to build a second Golden Gate and wipe out the Communist bandits on the beach.As a result, as soon as the fortifications were repaired, he was bombed by the PLA Air Force.

The 'Taiping' ship is a [-]-ton US-made destroyer, which is already the main force of the national army at sea. It was originally overturned by PLA torpedo boats, but now it was sunk by bombs five years in advance.

Hearing that the 'Taiping' ship was finished, Gui Yongqing was so distressed that he died.At present, the United States has not yet provided large-scale assistance to Taiwan, and the national army only has more than [-] warships, and there are only a handful of them that can fight.

"President, Commander Hu issued a report saying that the communist army bombed Dachen three times in a row yesterday, and today it used hundreds of American-made B-29 heavy bombers. The bombs in the air rained down, and our defenders suffered carpet bombing.

The barracks, fortifications, docks, and oil depots on the island were all damaged, and the casualties were hard to count, roughly estimated to exceed a thousand.Ask the president to send the air force to assist, otherwise there may be accidents. "

The adjutant came to report one after another, but there was no good news.

Hearing Hu Zongnan talking nonsense about 'B-29', Lao Jiang slapped the table and scolded: "Could it be that Hu Shoushan is blind? The Communist Army can at most buy Soviet fighter jets, how can it use American bombers?"

This scolding seems to have some truth.But Zhou Zhirou, commander of the national army's air force, is also in the underground headquarters. He knows that the Soviet Union copied the American B-29.

Although its performance is not as good as the original version, but the coastal bombing can be fully loaded with nine tons of bombs, maybe Dachen Island is really "bombs raining down, heavy casualties on the ground" at the moment.

Although the president's face is important, but the military situation is urgent, Commander Zhou still tactfully stated that the communist army may indeed get heavy bombers.As for whether there are hundreds of them...

To tell the truth, Zhou Zhirou was also beating drums in his heart - there are really hundreds of 'B-29skis' crossing the sea to bomb Taiwan, and his air force will be in bad luck.

Especially on the Korean battlefield, the Volunteer Air Force has carried out night bombings many times, using the loopholes that fighter jets are difficult to take off and intercept at night, to carry out raids on US military airports.

It is very strange that everyone is basically blind at night, but the Volunteer Army Air Force can accurately find the location of the US military airport in the dark.

Every time at least a dozen Tu-4s fly over and drop bombs at an altitude of 6000 meters, they can also blow up the US military.

At any rate, the U.S. military still has anti-aircraft weapons such as the Mk12 127mm naval gun, but the national army does not.When the Communist bombers flew over, Zhou Zhirou probably had no choice but to use the Tianling cover to top the bomb.

Lao Jiang kept scolding, but he couldn't let Chen Daoguang be bombed and not fight back.Before he could open his mouth, Zhou Zhirou took the initiative to say that he had sent fighter planes to support him, and he would be able to drive away the attacking communist bombers.

Anyone can say beautiful words, but the attitude must be correct, whether it can be done is another matter.

It is more than 500 kilometers away from Dachen Island in Taipei. Neither the explosion can be heard, nor the flesh and blood can be seen. Only the heavy and angry breathing of Lao Jiang in the underground headquarters is alerting the party and state officials present.

The meeting was supposed to discuss how to deal with the communist army's attack on Dachen Island, but unbelievable situations emerged one after another.The military situation is constantly coming from the radio waves, the latest situation...

"President, General Chen reported in tears that the air offensive of the communist army is extremely strong. I'm afraid the island's defenses will not be able to hold up today." The adjutant who came to report the letter was about to cry. He came to report all the bad news.

Lao Jiang was also angry, and he still wanted to appease the frontline soldiers who worked for him and encourage them to stick to it sincerely. The support of the party and the state is on the way, and we must persist.

Unexpectedly, the adjutant who reported the letter was holding a telegram with trembling fingers, and read out the new problems encountered on Dachen Island, "The communist army dispatched German-made 'Stuka' dive bombers to bombard our Dachen garrison with heavy bombs. headquarters.

Commander Hu commanded the defense of the entire island in the headquarters, but the bomb pierced through the five-meter-thick concrete fortifications of the headquarters and exploded inside.Commander Hu and more than 20 military staff officers of the Anti-Communist and National Salvation Army guarding the island were all killed, with no bones left. "

Ah... Hu Zongnan is dead?

Wait, how did he die?Killed by a blockbuster that hit the headquarters?

It is understandable to say that he was killed by a bomb, but a dive bomber or something, or a 'Stuka'?

Is this a joke?

President Jiang was very puzzled, he looked at Zhou Zhirou - you said that the Soviet Union imitated the B-29, I can understand.But did the Soviet Union imitate the German 'Stuka'?

Zhou Zhirou was also in a daze - I don't know, why did she get out of 'Stuka'?Could it be that the national army on Dachen Island is all blind?

'Stuka' can be seen in Europe, but in East Asia, it is impossible to encounter 'Screaming Vulture' even if you encounter the 'Fearless' dive bomber of the US imperialists.

What kind of drama is this?

But now the iconic scream of the 'Screaming Vulture' really appeared in the sky above Dachen Island, resounding throughout the sea and sky.It dives obliquely from a height of 700 meters, and the shape of its inverted gull wings is very iconic and too conspicuous.

On Yijiangshan Island, which is more than ten kilometers away from Dachen Island, Colonel Wang Shengming, who was guarding the place, was stunned.

This "hero who overcomes difficulties" always thought that if the communist army wanted to attack Dachen Island, it must first attack Yijiangshan Island where he was stationed.Who knew that they not only used the 'B-29', but also moved out the 'Stuka'.

Without air force cover and ground air defense, more than a dozen 'Stukas' unscrupulously dropped bombs on Dachen Island without any hindrance.Judging from their proficiency in diving and pulling up, the pilots are well-trained masters.

The advantage of dive bombing is its accuracy.As long as the target is locked, a [-]-kilogram aerial bomb is dropped, and the fortifications that are not particularly reinforced will be blown into the sky.

Seeing screams coming from Dachen Island, and then a dozen thick columns of smoke rising into the sky, the communication between Colonel Wang and his chief Hu Zongnan was cut off.

"This is... blowing up the headquarters? Commander Hu is already martyred? Could it be that the Germans came to help the communist army? What kind of world is this!"

Chapter 50 Hu Zongnan

On the front line of Taizhou, the PLA Air Force built a field airport.

It took less than a week for the airport to be repaired, and several heavy Soviet-made Deutsche 54 bulldozers were still building roads beside the runway.Two 'Stukas' with inverted gull wings flew from the coast and landed on the runway lightly.

This kind of fighter plane has become famous on the European battlefield. As long as it hears its piercing scream, the air defense personnel on the ground feel as if their hearts are tightened, and they must be nervous.

The landed 'Stuka' was towed to the hangar by a ground trailer, and the service personnel immediately added bombs to it.

The two pilots on board did not need to get off or refuel, and set off again half an hour later to bomb Dachen Island, which was very close.

Due to the incomplete airport facilities, Commander Liu of the PLA Air Force could only stand by the runway, smiling cheerfully with a few staff officers under him.

Can't be unhappy, because this batch of 'Stukas' arrived just in time.

Although Commander Liu was happy to see the pilots fighting frequently, he still asked a "Hans" from the "GDR China Aid Air Corps" next to him if he wanted to let the pilots take a rest.

Through the translation, the 'Hans' said disdainfully: "This kind of combat mission is too simple, and the enemy is always a target. Our pilots would rather fly a few more sorties and kill a few more targets."

Commander Liu also laughed out loud when he heard that, he wished that the Germans would win more victories, and at the same time lamented the power of the modern air force.

China and East Germany established diplomatic relations 50 years ago, and the relationship has not been good for a long time.But Xiao Jinlang slammed behind him, not only begging for an order in US dollars, but also asking the Prime Minister to actively seek a loan from East Germany.

After the establishment of the Soviet-led "Economic and Mutual Association", it imposed great restrictions on the countries in the camp.What is particularly pitiful is the so-called "transfer ruble", which is essentially an accounting currency, similar to barter.

For an industrially developed country like East Germany, the more business you do, the more you lose money.

Through the visit of the prime minister, and the fact that East Germany sent people to China to investigate, the other party also saw China's current population of [-] million and the huge market that urgently needed to develop domestic industries.

The size of this market, like the foundation of a powerful country, made East Germany feel excited.China hoped that East Germany would provide low-interest loans to buy its industrial products, and the other party agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, Zhou Qingfeng collected armaments everywhere in Europe, not only army equipment, but also air force fighter planes.A batch of 'Stuka' was dug out together with aerial bombs, spare engines and maintenance equipment.

There are more than [-] 'Stukas' in this batch, which were dismantled and shipped to Leningrad.The Soviets were deeply influenced by this thing and gritted their teeth in hatred.

The famous Rudel drove it on the Eastern Front to kill more than 500 tanks, 150 artillery positions, thousands of trucks, sink and damage one battleship each, and a lot of other miscellaneous targets.

These records are basically brushed from the Soviet army.

After picking up the tattered 'Stuka' and reassembling it, they simply flew all the way to China and joined the PLA Air Force.Although the country is happy, no one will use this thing at all.

East Germany set up a "China Aid Air Corps" and recruited a group of pilots to come to China for training and combat, and there happened to be many masters flying "Stuka".

The result was that the Kuomintang defenders on Dachen Island tasted the bombs 'falling from the sky'.

Dive bombing is rapidly becoming obsolete after World War II, and more advanced avionics do not require pilots to risk their lives to fight against ground air defense firepower.

In North Korea, the Americans are still firmly in control of the air, and letting the slow 'Stuka' pass is death.But the KMT's air defense is the best of the best, and it has no power to fight back in the face of bombing.

More than a dozen 'Stukas' dispatched three or four sorties a day. Although they only dropped less than a hundred bombs, their bombing efficiency was higher than that of the 24 'Tu-4's that dropped bombs horizontally.

Hu Zongnan built a lot of strong and permanent fortifications on Dachen Island. If his teeth were not good, he would have to bite them hard, which would inevitably break a few teeth and make his face bloody.

But with 'Stuka', it seems like you have mastered a hammer in the face of walnuts. The veteran 'Hans' has good skills. On average, two aerial bombs can kill one permanent fortification of the enemy, which is frighteningly efficient.

Before dark, a 'Tu-4' took off as a guest reconnaissance plane with a camera and flew around Dachen Island.The photographs were developed during the night and confirmed a wireless telegram deciphered during the day.

The commander-in-chief of the island's defense 'Qin Dongchang' was killed in an air strike.An aerial bomb penetrated the top of its headquarters, producing the effect of a ground-penetrating bomb, and implemented a 'beheading' tactic.

The remnants of the island were greatly shocked. More than 2 troops originally wanted to repeat the "Golden Gate Miracle", but now the group has no leader, and the remaining division commanders are all panicked.

Although the bombing stopped after dark, what about tomorrow?

Taizhou did not know who 'Qin Dongchang' was, but the island sent a telegram, and they also happily sent a telegram to the chairman of the imperial capital, announcing that they had mastered the air supremacy of Dachen Island, making up for the lack of naval power, and creating conditions to wipe out stubborn enemies on the island .

But at this moment, in Da'aoli Village near the sea in the south of Dachen Island, Hu Zongnan, with a dusty face and a gray face, was staring at a deep pit on the mountainside of the village in the dark.

Zhao Xia, the deputy commander of Dachen's garrison at the side, took a few steps closer and said in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, we found that the headquarters was bombed and there were no bones left at the scene, so we went to Taipei..."

At this moment, Hu Zongnan looked like a little old man, wearing an old military uniform without a military rank. Ordinary people would not recognize him as the famous "Northwest King" back then.

He waved his hand to stop the deputy commander's words, only looked up at the dark sky, and said to himself: "How did the communist fighter planes become so powerful in just one year? If I hadn't happened to go out to patrol, I would have died at this moment .”

Deputy Commander Zhao added: "Mr. Hu is an auspicious person, but it's a pity that there are more than [-] military staff members in the headquarters. How about I send a telegram to Taipei immediately, first to correct the mistake, and second to ask for support."

"I'm afraid it's not enough to send a telegram. You send a boat to go back to Taipei overnight to report." After Hu Zongnan finished speaking, he sighed and turned his head to look at the village on the mountainside.

The vegetation around the headquarters is dense, and there are a lot of secret passages, bunkers, and air-raid shelters.But the 'Stuka' that dived in the air didn't blow up anyone, but it just hit its own headquarters.

The 20-kilogram aerial bomb smashed through the headquarters bunker, leaving a crater with a diameter of more than [-] meters and a depth of more than ten meters on the scene.The blasted topsoil piled up around, like a crater.

The surrounding landforms have changed.Gravel, dirt, broken trees, and building debris are all mixed together, but you can't see what was before.

Hu Zongnan was puzzled. He came to Dachen Island not long ago, and the construction of the island's fortifications was also recently carried out. Only a handful of members of the "Anti-Communist National Salvation Army" gathered on the island knew where the headquarters was...

How did the communist army know about this place?

Could it be that the communist army knows magic, calculated by counting fingers, and knows that Hu is going to dig a hole here to build a headquarters?

Even if Hu Zongnan wanted to break his head, he would not understand that his headquarters will be an unknown tourist attraction after decades.On the map information submitted by Xiao Jinlang, this place was naturally marked.

The 'Stuka' pilot who came to bombarded glanced at the map, asked for an interpreter, and took advantage of the opportunity to raise Hu Zongnan's nest.
