Vol 3 Chapter 360: Yamato fuel (1)

As soon as the plan to bomb the Japanese islands was decided, the powerful military power of the Republic went wild, and the plan to bomb Japan was named directly. [] Burning Yamato continued the name of the previous plan. Elite staff members were deployed by the Air Force Staff, the General Staff, and the War Department to organize a capable team to complete the plan.
Zhang Shusheng explicitly demanded that such a major strategic bombing plan must establish a special temporary department to take overall responsibility. Therefore, the headquarters of the Japanese bombing command was suspended.
Jiang Baili came to the head of state's office early in the morning with the list and handed it to Zhang Shusheng.
"Chairman, this is the preliminary structure of the Japanese bombing command and the candidate list for the selection of responsible personnel. The choice of the commander must be determined by the chairperson."
"I'll see who you guys recommend, huh."
In this candidate list jointly provided by the three departments, there are four candidates for the commander-in-chief, all from the Air Force.
Air Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping is currently the Air Force Far East Theater Commander.
Air Force Lieutenant Ni Nan is currently the Air Force Northeast Theater Commander.
Air Force Lieutenant Wei Ran is currently the Air Force East China Commander.
Air Force Lieutenant Qin Zibin, a former Northwest Commander of the Air Force, is currently the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force Staff.
Zhang Shusheng nodded secretly. These four people have overall command experience in the Air Force's theater. The overall situation is very good, especially Fan Chaoping. This person has performed well in Mongolia before, and then successfully organized against Japan in the Far East Theater. The human butcher plan and the fight for air control over the Far East Theater with the Allies over the next half year have been suppressing the Allies, making it impossible for the Allies to cross the border near them and attack China's mainland.
The remaining three have advantages and disadvantages, and some have more experience in organizing the battlefield air force, while others, such as Qin Zibin, have work experience in the staff. On the whole, Zhang Shusheng is still the commander of the Far East Theater in Italy.
"I'm more optimistic about this Comrade Fan Chaoping, but he is responsible for commanding the Air Force's Far East Theater. Will the temporary relocation affect the situation in the Far East Theater?" Zhang Shusheng asked.
Jiang Barry groaned and said, "At present, the overall situation in the Far East Theater is relatively stable, and the Allies are accumulating strength. It is expected that there will be a large-scale battle outbreak after the beginning of the spring. At present, there is no problem. For the time being, secondment is responsible for strategic bombing of Japan. feasible."
The Far East Theater is definitely one of the first priority. If there is a problem with airpower over one million troops, it will be a great disaster. However, since there is no major war, let such a person know the Japanese Air Force very well. It is best to have a seasoned general in charge of the overall situation. []
Zhang Shusheng also knew that the bombing of Japan could not be as smooth as imagined. The Allies had a considerable number of night combat aircraft in the Far East Theater, and relying on the American godfather, the Japanese air force upgrade plan was carried out in an orderly manner, even in the early bombing. It ’s going very well, and it will evolve from mere bombardment to strait-style air combat. There may even be a long-lasting large-scale air combat in the middle of the sea between China and Japan. In this way, it ’s not just directing the plane to fly past and drop some bombs. The problems involved are much more serious.
"Let ’s leave Comrade Fan Chaoping in charge of this big bombing plan. This plan may evolve into a British-German-style Straits air combat later on. A strong and outstanding commander is required to take charge of the overall situation. The command of the Air Force Far East Theater is temporarily given to Comrade Liang Yuanguang, Deputy Commander of the Air Force Far East Theater. "
Zhang Shusheng thought for a moment and decided that it would be appropriate for the deputy to temporarily take over the air force affairs in the Far East Theater.
"Zhongshang Bell ..., the phone ringing of Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping's Defense Forces Far East Air Force Command in Jiamusi, the red internal telephone, he took a slight glance, picked up the phone, and as the Far East war calmed down, On the eve of the storm, the phone has had time to remember the night.
"Hello, I'm Fan Chaoping, Air Force Far East Theater Command."
"Chaoping, I'm Fan Siran. You temporarily hand over the work in the Far East Theater to Deputy Commander Liang Yuanguang, and return to Beijing. There is an important task to be given to you. The task time will be longer in the night. You may not be able to take care of your work. The detailed order book will be telexed to you soon. You must hurry up to take over the night to get the job done ... The voice of the Defense Air Force Commander General Fan Siran is on the phone.
Fan Chaoping heard a word, which war zone is tight? Or is it that Southeast Asian theater needs to deploy manpower to organize a large air war?
Guessing, guessing, he picked up the phone and called Lieutenant General Liang Yuanguang, deputy commander.
"Commander."
"Lao Liang, have you been working and working in the middle of your life? You have been busy in the past, but I rarely care about you as a good assistant in this position, huh." Fan Chaoping motioned for him to sit.
"The commander is polite, the Allies are not roaring, and no large-scale fighting has broken out between the enemy and us. Now there are some petty fights in the sky. I still feel so annoyed that this is a difficult day."
Liang Yuanguang smiled and said that he didn't know he was about to fight against the air force command banner of the Far East Theater.
"You, like me, can't sleep without hearing the takeoff and landing of the plane, haha. Speaking of which we have been partners for several years, I have always recognized your ability, and I will tell you a good news, Commander Fan asked me to hand over the work to you, allowing you to temporarily command air affairs in the Far East Theater. "
Fan Chaoping said with a smile, he is actually very happy that his old partner can stand alone, and he is very clear that Liang Yuanguang's ability is completely sufficient.
"Ah ..." Liang Yuanguang suddenly hesitated. "What about you commander?"
"I? I will return to Beijing to report on my job and arrange work separately, hehe."
The two looked at each other, but they both understood a bit. During this time, the night people's calls for increasing the intensity of the war against Japan were very high. As the Air Force generals who deal with the Japanese most, more than once they proposed strategic bombing to Japan. Destroy the war potential of the Japanese army and provide assistance for future Far East wars and Southeast Asian wars. "Then congratulate the commander on his success and build new merits in his new post." Liang Yuanguang also said little more, got up and saluted him, and it was a good job.
The transfer of work between the two was very smooth. The electric order from the base camp arrived at noon at noon. Fan Chaoping hosted a high-level meeting in the theater, announced the base camp's order, and officially handed over the air command of the Far East Theater to Liang Yuan Guang, he flew back to Beijing that afternoon, and landed at Hanjing Airport just at the beginning of the lights.
Early the next morning, Fan Chaoping rushed to base camp to report his job.
"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Fan Chaoping, Air Force Far East Theater Commander, to report to you." Although it was already time to go home last night, the wife and daughter were naturally very happy to see themselves suddenly returning home. Dinner, coaxed her daughter to sleep, the two of them fought a battle, and today is naturally trembling.
"Chaoping, you come here quickly." Fan Siran put down his work, looked at the powerful servant of the dusty servant, nodded with satisfaction, took the papers on the table and handed him, "Look, This is your new mission. "
Fan Chaoping took a look at the documents and turned out to be a letter of appointment.
"Hereby appoints Comrade Fan Chaoping as the leader of the" Burning Yamato "plan, as commander-in-chief of the strategic bombing command against Japan, and is fully responsible for the bombing of Japan and the future air war between China and Japan ... Although the appointment letter only confirms his ideas, Fan Chaoping is still thrilled. How can he not be so excited that so many talents of the Republic Air Force let himself take up such an important position.
"This task is very difficult. Besides your Japanese, it is likely that your opponents also have Americans behind them. The chairman asked us to blow up Japan and make us feel confident." Fan Siran asked seriously.
"Report, there is!" Fan Chaoping saluted.
At this point, the headquarters of the Japanese bombing headquarters was formally established, thus kicking off a large-scale bombing and air combat that had a profound impact on Japan.
At the same time, in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito also received intelligence from China.
"His Majesty, the large-scale demonstrations against us in China are intensifying. Their government used the assassination of Zhang Shusheng as an excuse to instigate this demonstration. Now it seems that they have instigated public opinion and in turn they have received public opinion. Strengthening, the government's prestige reached its peak, and the best excuses for a deeper war were found. "
Kenji Doihara, the intelligence director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, is a one-China official who has lived in China for a long time. He has always believed that intelligence work on China should account for at least two-thirds of the imperial intelligence mission. Especially after China became more and more powerful, he tried to expand the funding and scale of the Intelligence Department to better spy on this opponent.
Yu Ren's brow frowned, and he looked at the information in his hand, as if he hadn't heard him, and asked halfway, "Did they really dare to attack the Empire?"
"Her Majesty, this may be very small. I think their real purpose should be to bombard us across the sea, as the Germans did to the British. At least for now, the Chinese people will not want to attack us across the sea. They Even arrogant enough to openly ask their government to attack our homeland in the newspapers, or, like the Germans, to bomb Tokyo in London ... "Tomihara Kenji saw that the Emperor was a little lost, and he secretly said, During the assassination plan, His Majesty was more active than anyone else, and he could not wait for Zhang Shu's life and death in Myanmar. As a result, things were so troubled now, and he was afraid that the Chinese would turn their fingers and focus on Japan, and even directly attack Japan. Still a little crazy.
"The general situation has actually reached this point ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Will it really be a bombing across the sea?" Yu Ren closed her eyes slightly, but was not angry at the words of Toihara Kenji. He seemed to see Britain, London, and was Hundreds of German planes bombed and suffered heavy losses, and apparently, China. The Chinese Air Force is much stronger than the Germans.
No one in the world knows this better than the Japanese. "Do Fe Yuanjun, do you have any suggestions based on your knowledge of China and your views on things?"
"I suggest His Majesty you contact the Americans immediately and ask them to help us. Once the Chinese bombard, we need more aircraft, more advanced radars, more advanced anti-aircraft weapons. If we suffer heavy losses, the strength of the Allies will also It will be weakened. At this time, Americans must help us. Only with their strength will we be able to defend ourselves in the face of the violent bombing of the Chinese people. "
"You pay close attention to the direction of China's direction, and notify me and the military at any time." The Emperor nodded and instructed the officials on the side, "Give the military the order to let them come up with a comprehensive response plan, and inform the United States People, you can start negotiations and ask them to support us. "
