Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 92 Air Force Goes to War

There are not many large coal mines around the capital, but there are many small coal kilns. As long as you are willing to pay, it is not a problem to produce a hundred tons of coal a day. After all, our current maximum authority is only 30 tons a day. No matter how much coal we have, it will be useless if it exceeds this range.

China itself is a place with abundant coal and less oil. Its coal reserves are very rich, but its oil and gas resources are not so good.

Of course, at this stage, it would definitely be a good idea to exploit the oil and gas resources. After all, the demand is not that large at this time.

There was a small coal mine not far from Mao Yuanshan’s military base. Due to the war, the place had been abandoned and the workers had disappeared. So when Mao Yuanshan wanted to buy the mine, he couldn’t even find the owner.

After asking around with the local residents, I learned that the coal miners here were all from several surrounding villages. Because the Japanese devils occupied a place, they would first seize the local resources, so they were afraid of what the Japanese devils would do to them, so they all went home and quit their jobs.

The original output here can reach about 40 tons per day. Of course, this is due to insufficient productivity. There are two mines here, but because there are not enough workers, only one is used. If both mines are mined, the output can be more than doubled.

Monkey quickly brought the special forces to find the workers from the mine.

There is no other reason for calling you here except to ask you to resume production as soon as possible.

In addition to the original three dollars a month, there is also an extra salary.

In addition to the fixed amount of coal you mine every day, if you work overtime, you can get an extra dime for every extra ton of coal you mine.

When the workers heard this, they were a little bit unbelievable. When did they get overtime pay? The previous boss had never mentioned this before. For them, this was simply unbelievable.

Moreover, as long as the daily coal production exceeds 50 tons, each person can also get a can of meat.

Mao Yuanshan asked professionals to take a look at another mine, which could actually be put into production immediately, so he recruited many coal miners from the surrounding area.

On the first day, the output reached 75 tons.

A week later it had reached 100 tons.

At this time, Mao Yuanshan has not set a production limit for them. As long as you have the ability, you can produce as much as you can at any time. If Mao Yuanshan is upgraded slightly, there will be more exchanges. No one can complain about having too many resources, especially in times of war, it will be very miserable if there are no resources.

During this week, the Japanese devils, with the support of airplanes and artillery, launched many attacks on the Chinese army's positions. The Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suffered heavy losses. For some reason, Mao Yuanshan's security brigade did not suffer much loss.

The Japanese North China Garrison Army Headquarters had already formulated a battle plan, which was not to launch a forced attack on Mao Yuanshan's security brigade, but to follow the policy of occupying Tianjin Railway Station, drive away all other troops, and then attack Mao Yuanshan's army. In this way, they would fight alone without the help of friendly forces, which would put a certain amount of psychological pressure on them. If it was really a forced attack, the Japanese would suffer great losses, and it would be a bit of a loss.

Even if they had seen through the Japanese strategy, there was no other way to do anything. After all, their numbers were too small and their strength was too weak, and they had not yet reached a stage where they could delay the entire war process.

"Brigade Commander, the 19th Division of the Central Army in our left front has retreated. They can't hold on any longer. The two infantry regiments' attack on them for an entire afternoon has already made them stupidly confused. I just went to the front line to see that the shells were piling up and hitting them so hard that they were completely helpless." Zhuzi took a look at the situation of the friendly forces around him in the afternoon and was not optimistic. Basically, they had lost more than half of their troops, and most of them had lost more than 2/3.

"The Japanese devils' move can really be regarded as cutting off the source of our firewood. It's just like what happened to us in Tianjin. No matter how well we fight, we have no choice but to retreat without our friendly forces around us. The Military and Political Department will not believe that we can hold on on our own. If we really insist on persisting, I'm afraid our army will be wiped out." Mao Yuanshan said depressedly as he looked at the army map on the map. A few days ago, there were several divisions of friendly forces around, but now there is only one division of the Central Army on the left front. It seems that they will not be able to hold on for much longer.

"We have now retreated to the third line of defense, and there is the last line of defense right behind us, which is close to the city wall." Zhang Zizhong said, pointing to the map.

"We can't bring the war to the capital. The buildings in the capital have been built over many generations. If they are all destroyed because of a war, we will be national sinners." Xie Tianhua pointed to the imperial city in the capital. This thing was built over several dynasties. It would be a shame if it was destroyed by the Japanese devils.

I don’t know what the course of history would have been at that time. Anyway, the Forbidden City was not destroyed in later generations, and I don’t know what the Japanese devils were thinking.

Some rumors say that after the Japanese emperor visited the Forbidden City, he felt that something was not right with his palace. He might have thought that he wanted to bring all of China under his rule in the future, and the Forbidden City must not be destroyed, otherwise it might become the Japanese palace in the future.

"The evacuation work is almost completed. In the past month, most of the cultural relics and some important assets have been moved inland." Monkey is very familiar with some people's livelihood issues in the capital.

"Take away as much as you can, and tell the people about the brutal rule of the Japanese devils. They have already slaughtered all the people in the surrounding towns and villages." Although there are still some Japanese expatriates in the capital, the devils who are bloodthirsty can do anything.

"Brigade Commander, I have sent people out to persuade them, but we Chinese people's minds are still here, and we are unwilling to leave our homes. The capital has changed several rulers, and they all feel the same. We have never imagined how brutal the Japanese devils are." Monkey said with a frown, and he didn't know how to explain it to these ordinary people.

"What are these people thinking? In the past, all the rulers were Chinese, but now they are all Japanese devils. How can it be the same?" Xie Tianhua is a student who returned from abroad. Of course, he is not as educated as the current Chinese people. For them, things like national justice are still far away, and being able to have enough food to eat is the best thing.

"Although I am reluctant to announce the retreat, I have to let you know the next plan of our security brigade. We are preparing to retreat to this city." Mao Yuanshan pointed to a place on the map. That was Duolun City in Chahar.

Basically all the policies and guidelines have been announced in recent times, and they all know a little bit about them. Now that Mao Yuanshan has announced them, there is nothing unacceptable. However, they feel a little uncomfortable about giving up the glamorous world of the capital and going to the desolate place on the grassland.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This war will not end in a day or two, nor will it be reflected in the gains and losses of a few places. This is a long-term war. Maybe our entire North China will fall. The main reason is that we are not strong enough. We can only use space to exchange time. Give us enough time to develop. The Japanese devils are not our opponents." It feels like the capital is about to be lost. The mood of the crowd is not very high, and Mao Yuanshan can only cheer them up.

In the hearts of ordinary people, the capital cannot be lost. Although Nanjing is no longer the capital, it has been the capital for more than 1000 years after all.

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese planes are coming, everyone, please go into the air-raid shelter." During this period, the Japanese would launch an air raid almost every day. Although their ground forces had no effect on the Security Brigade, the Air Force would often come to take care of the Security Brigade.

Because the Japanese devils knew that the Security Brigade had many large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, they also flew very high to carry out horizontal bombing, which made their large-caliber machine guns basically useless.

Just as everyone was preparing to enter the air-raid shelter, eight planes appeared behind the security brigade. Mao Yuanshan could tell at a glance that they were his own squadron.

What's this Gao Zhihang doing? Didn't I tell him that there would be no combat missions within three months?

The aircraft of this era were not as complicated to learn as those of later generations. If you were willing to put in the effort, there would be no problem within a month or two. It was not that these pilots were unable to fly planes, they just had not adapted to such a good aircraft. In times of national crisis, they all demonstrated their potential, so in just over a month, they basically mastered this new aircraft.

On the battlefield in North China, the Japanese air force had never seen the Chinese air force, so when their opponent's planes flew over, they thought they were their own planes.

"Two planes in a formation, kill them." With Gao Zhihang's order, eight planes were divided into four formations and flew towards the dozen planes in the distance. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, their quality was many times better than that of the Japanese.

Two heavy machine guns opened fire immediately, and the plane flying straight in front of Captain Gao was blown up in mid-air.

The Japanese were flying old Type 109 bombers, and they didn't even have the ability to escape when facing the BFs of the Security Corps.

Although there were several escorting fighters, they were no match for the BF109 in terms of climbing ability, speed and protection capabilities, and they would only be killed if they came over.

The skills of the Chinese pilots may need to be improved, but after a period of time, they became familiar with it. In addition, the combat effectiveness of their own aircraft was several levels stronger than that of others. A one-sided massacre began at this time, and the Japanese Air Force suffered a tragedy.

Zhou Xiaowu was a student at the old Northeast Aviation School.

This was her first time flying a fighter jet into the battlefield. In the past, she had only flown some biplane planes that were from her grandfather's generation.

After the fall of Northeast China, this guy went to the central government with most of the people from the old Northeast Aviation School. However, because they were from the old Northeast Aviation School and there were clear factions, they had no chance of getting the good planes. Even for some old ones, the number of times they could take off each month was very limited.

Hearing that there were the latest aircraft here, he came to try it out. He didn't expect that there really were such aircrafts here, and that there were opportunities to fly into the sky every day.
