Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 156

The unpopular model of the aerial gunboat machine is only suitable for use when the side has absolute air supremacy.

And the Air Force of the Northeast Border Defense Army happens to be the top in the world at the moment.

It has absolute air supremacy on the domestic battlefield.

So it can be of great use in the war at home.

This aerial gunboat machine in front of Zhang Xueming's eyes.

Not only the platform uses a full-fledged C-47 transport aircraft.

The weapon systems and equipment it carries are also current mature technologies.

Its brilliance is the integration of many mature weapons with new concepts.

Become a new and powerful weapons platform.

Its armament consisted of four M2HB large-caliber heavy machine guns, two 20 mm Erlikon guns and a 40 mm Bofors gun.

Among them, the 40-mm cannon was placed at the tail compartment door.

The 20 mm Erlikon cannon was in the porthole next to the aft cargo compartment door.

Then four M2HB12.7mm heavy machine guns were neatly placed at the rear of the wing.

A total of 8,000 rounds of ammunition, 2,000 rounds of 20mm shells and 500 rounds of 40mm shells can be stored inside the cabin.

In addition to this, to take into account night combat.

It is also equipped with 48 flares, one of which can burn for 3 minutes.

This firepower is much stronger than the A-1 Sky Raider attack aircraft.

After all, the power of the 40mm cannon is not small.

The ammunition carried on it also allows the gunboat to conduct long-term aerial operations.

Its way of fighting is also very simple.

It is with this side with weapons.

Make a beacon circling around the target.

At the same time, lean to the left and maintain this posture.

This allows the sights inside the cabin to catch the target.

The general combat altitude is around 1,000 meters, and the speed is about 200 kilometers per hour.

A general tour of this gunboat machine.

Zhang Xueming asked: "Can it be put into battle now?"

The chief master on the side thought for a moment and said, "Although it has not undergone too many aerial tests.

But the above technologies and platforms are very mature.

We are still confident that there may be small problems, but there will not be fundamentally big problems. "

Zhang Xueming was satisfied: "Well, let it go to the battlefield to test, tell the Air Force to use it." "

High mobile cavalry against three horses.

Is there anything more suitable than this aerial gunboat machine?

You can chase them down in the air all the time.

At the same time, Zhang Xueming continued: "Continue to expedite the modification of gunboat machines, if you want any support, just talk to me and give priority to satisfying you."

Your task now is to modify and get me a few more. "

C-47 transport aircraft are now equipped with a lot of equipment in the Northeast Army Air Force.

The scale is about 120 aircraft.

How many are needed, how many are sent by the Air Force.

The Air Force soon took over the gunboat with joy.

The Air Force designation AY-1 aerial gunboat aircraft.

This is also the first fighter that has not yet been finalized, but has just produced a prototype and entered service with the Air Force.

After hearing the news that Yang Hucheng had surrendered to the Northeast Army.

The three brothers of the Ma family are not lightly angry.

Their troops also stopped their advance in the area of Guyuan.

The three Ma brothers also began to discuss their next move.

However, the atmosphere is somewhat subtle.

Although they are the three Ma brothers, they are not very comfortable with Ningma and Qingma.

They all have their own little calculations with each other.

After a night of discussion.

They decided to divide the troops.

Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing, led by Qingma, went to Tianshui.

From Tianshui, an attack on Shaanxi was launched.

Their purpose was not the Northeast Army, but the villages and county towns of Shaanxi.

As the saying goes, a thief does not go empty.

So do they.

So they want to loot something from Shaanxi and go back.

Otherwise, they would have traveled thousands of miles from the Qinghai side.

It's a loss not to go back with something.

Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin of Ningma went northeast and entered the Suiyuan area to loot.

The terrain of Suiyuan is open, mostly grassland and Gobi terrain, which is more suitable for their cavalry mobile combat.

However, they did not know that the Air Force of the Northeast Border Defense Army had organized a large air strike team.

Their tens of thousands of cavalry and nearly 100,000 horses gathered in the Guyuan area, which was really eye-catching.

It is difficult for their reconnaissance aircraft not to be detected.

Since they are willing to concentrate together.

Then the Air Force is naturally not polite here. Directly served them in one pot.

This time, the Air Force transferred a total of 10 bomber groups from the First and Second Air Forces.

All B-29 strategic bombers, the number of up to 300.

In addition to this, there are more than 600 fighters and attack aircraft.

First use the Air Force to cripple their main forces.

In this way, it is much easier for the three northwestern provinces to take down.

Early the next morning, several camps of Ma Jiajun began to be lively.

Eat breakfast, feed the horses:

It's the same as before, it's no different.

"The weather today was very nice. "

Ma Bufang looked at the cloudless clear sky, and his mood was much better.

Brother Ma Buqing came to his side at this time.

"Big brother, I have already prepared the brethren to go, and I will be able to pack my things in less than an hour. "

"Good!"

Just as he withdrew his gaze, he suddenly saw a black dot appear in the sky.

He frowned and squinted in the direction where the black dot was.

There are more and more black spots.

This also made him very puzzled.

Is it a flock of birds?

"What's that?"

More and more people are finding abnormalities.

They all looked curiously at the distant sky.

Ma Buqing shouted, "Bring me my binoculars." "

In less than half a minute, a telescope was handed to him.

With the help of the telescope, he finally knew what these black spots were this time.

When you see an incoming swarm.

His pupils couldn't help but constrict.

"The plane is a plane of the Northeast Army, and the plane of the Northeast Army has called. "

Ma Bufang felt that her heart stopped beating at this moment.

Fear couldn't stop pouring out of my heart.

The power of the Northeast Army Air Force is well known.

They haven't started looting yet.

How did the planes of the Northeast Army come over.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Immediately organize the brothers to disperse, and everyone will get on their horses and evacuate the camp. "

Their men were all in a camp that stretched for more than ten miles in the surrounding area.

This time, the Northeast Army came with a large number of aircraft.

It came specifically for them.

When the target camp came into view of the bomber group.

The fleet also began to accelerate.

Even the B-29 strategic bomber reached a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

Not to mention the P-51D Mustang, P-47D Thunderbolt and A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft.

A large number of Ma Jiajun began to run towards the camp specializing in horse breeding.

However, this distance is usually not long.

In their opinion, it is so long.

"Swish..."

The P-51D Mustang fighters that rushed over the camp were the first to attack.

Rockets fell from the sky.

Accurately landed in the crowd and exploded.

Immediately, they were beaten on their backs.

After throwing down the rockets and aerial bombs under the wings.

The pilot then began to strafe the ground with his aerial machine gun.

None of them will return without emptying the bullets.

After arriving over the camp with P-47D Thunderbolt fighters and A-1 SkyRaider attack aircraft.

They also joined the attack on the ground.

The camp of tens of thousands of people was completely chaotic.

Everywhere were Ma Jiajun running to avoid the attack.

Some planes began strafing and bombing the places where they stored their horses.

Even a war horse can't hide the fear in his heart in the face of this situation.

Fear spreads, and it's animal nature.

A large number of war horses began to frantically break free of the reins and ran in all directions.

"It's over, it's over!"

Ma Buqing hid behind the bunker and looked at the fighters that kept whistling in the sky, his face was a little pale.

"Immediately organize aerial fire and stabilize me. "

However, tens of thousands of people and horses once messed up.

How could His orders stop it? (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

Although Ma Jiajun is fierce.

But in the face of this situation, they are simply powerless to fight back.

At this time, the group of bombers who rushed over with enough horsepower also began to lay eggs.

The types of aerial bombs they carry on this mission are still relatively rich.

Most of them are ordinary high-explosive steel bullets.

In addition, it carried a large number of improved napalm incendiary bombs and a new type of aerial bomb.

This bomb is a 500-kilogram cluster bomb modified from the World War II butterfly bomb.

It can also be called a sub-mother bomb.

IT CARRIES A TOTAL OF 9 50KG SUBMUNITIONS IN ITS BODY.

Each submunition carried 20 bomblets weighing 2 kg.

In just one cluster bomb, 180 2-kilogram bomblets were carried.

How cruel and powerful cluster bombs are.

This has been confirmed by numerous wars.

In addition to its extremely wide killing range.

The same are bombs that have not been detonated for various reasons

Such a powerful weapon, how could Zhang Xueming not come up with it.

This is not to catch up with the bombing of the Ma Family Army.

So the Air Force also took out this powerful cluster bomb.

To deal with beasts like them, we should use the means of dealing with animals.

The arrival of the bomber group was the beginning of Ma Jiajun's real nightmare.

"Tweet Tweet . . ."

One by one, bombs of various types fell like dumplings in the camp below.

The explosion of the aerial bomb spread slowly on the ground.

Dense explosions resounded throughout the camp.

Especially those cluster bombs.

Bullets were thrown in the air like flowers scattered by the goddess.

Then it caused a large-scale dense explosion.

Two kilograms of small bombs is not small.

THE HEAVIER DEFENSIVE GRENADE IS ONLY 1KG.

Under the cover of cluster bombs.

It is simply a purgatory on earth, full of corpses.

300 bombers dropped more than two thousand tons of aerial bombs in these camps ...........

Under the explosion of napalm.

Flames began to burst into the camp.

A raging fire even formed on the ground, so that the fighters did not dare to fly too low.

When the bomber group finished dropping bombs and left.

The camps in the basin where Ma Jiajun was stationed were in ruins.

Craters, corpses, fire, and smoke filled the camp.

The bomber left the scene though.

But fighters and attack aircraft are still attacking.

At this time, a special plane began to enter the field.

This is the AY-1 aerial gunboat aircraft that has just entered service in the Air Force, codenamed Silei.

Once the AY-1 gunboat aircraft entered, they selected a larger camp as their target.

So the driver began to use superb driving skills.

Let the gunboat start circling around the camp.

Also tilt the right side.

The crew members can also see clearly through the sighting device at this time.

Despite the heavy bombing, there are still many remaining Ma Jiajun running to avoid the fighters in the sky.

"Da-da-da..."

"Knock knock..."

Machine guns and cannons fired in unison.

A chain of bullets and shells hit the ground.

Immediately, the corpse of Ma Jiajun on the ground flew around.

It was a little better to be hit by a 12.7 mm bullet.

If you're lucky, you can keep a whole corpse.

If it is hit directly by a 20mm or 40mm shell.

I'm afraid even the body can't be found.

This is completely a slaughter feast of air weapons on the ground.

And after the fighters returned, they replenished ammunition and fuel, and rushed over again for a new round of attacks.

This continued until late afternoon.

A total of more than 5,000 sorties were flown by fighters.

More than 20,000 tons of aerial bombs were dropped.

It was also the first large-scale non-contact war by the Northeast Air Force.

Using his own air superiority, he directly crippled Ma Jiajun.

Among them, Ma Buqing and Ma Hongbin both died directly in the air raid.

Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui escaped.

But Ma Hongkui's situation is not very good.

He was hit in the arm by a 12.7mm caliber bullet.

Directly interrupted.

He himself fainted due to excessive blood loss.

And the treatment conditions here are very bad.

Whether you can survive this evening is another matter.

Ma Bufang's luck is very good, still intact.

Not to mention how the brothers are doing.

Ma Jiajun was directly crippled this time.

This time they had nearly seventy thousand cavalry.

More than half of the casualties are already there.

Count those who have broken through successfully.

At present, among the cavalry brought over by the three horses, there are less than 20,000 people who are still intact.

The loss of war horses is even more serious.

A large number of warhorses ran away.

They were able to gather less than 10,000 war horses.

This time an air strike against Samma.

It directly broke their backbones.

The fruitful results obtained surprised Zhang Xueming.

"Take advantage of the situation to take the land of the three northwestern provinces.

Push all the way over, and when you encounter the enemy, you will beat me to death. 5.9

After occupying a place, a military government was established and a military management system was implemented. "

Later, Zhang Xueming ordered: "Mobilize Wang Yizhe's 50th Group Army and He Zhuguo's 51st Group Army to garrison the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia."

Responsible for clearing out the remnants of the enemy, according to the model of suppressing bandits in the northeast.

Organize regular bandit suppression tasks.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the way of working and not to provoke disputes.

Troops also need to respect local customs. "

Although the land of the three provinces belonged to China, the Ma family ruled for decades.

It has been too long since it has been free from Han rule.

So the situation in these three provinces is more special.

It is very necessary to implement military control in the short term.

After the situation has calmed down, government agencies are being formed.

With the implementation of land reform, education, transportation, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry and other work will also be quickly followed.

This is also a lengthy process.

The mobility of the First Army was demonstrated in the basin and Gobi terrain of the Great Northwest.

It was like an armed parade.

The Ma brothers are also left, and Ma Bufang's strength is not bad.

But at this moment, he was also driven by the First Army like a dog who lost his family.

In the end, he could only enter Xikang with the remnants of the defeated army.

It took almost a month.

The Northeast Army completely controlled the five provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Jin, and Suiyuan.

The entire north, except for the area south of Shijiazhuang in Henan, is controlled by the Jinling government.

Zhang Xueming has essentially completed his control over the entire north.

The population under his rule has reached more than 130 million.

It accounts for about 30% of the country's population.

During this time, Jiang Guangtou did not stop moving.

In the face of the threat of the Northeast Army.

Many warlords in Sichuan and Guizhou announced their participation in the Jinling government.

In the south, only Long Yun of western Yunnan, Li and Bai of the Gui family, and Chen Jitang of the Cantonese family remained outside the control of Jiang Guangtou.

However, this situation will not last long.
