On Huya Island, where the sea and sky are one tile, Song Yuhang stood on Huzhi Island and said: "From the command and dispatch tower, he looked at several landing craft and nearly 100 armored vehicles riding the wind and waves on the sea east of the island; before that, Song Yuhang invested the troops of an engineer brigade and two lightly armed divisions to build a 500-meter-long and 30-meter-high wave-proof embankment in the eastern part of Huwa to simulate the landing ground of Iwo Jima.
Song Yuhang looked at the newcomers who could be said to be newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers in the telescope, and before the landing craft could rush to the beach, they jumped off the landing craft one after another, and the troops who were bound on the amphibious armored vehicles also abandoned their vehicles and rushed to land on the beach, in waist-deep water.
Chinese soldiers raise their weapons high above their heads.
Wading through the knee-deep waters began to rush to the beach.
Under the guidance of one military flag after another, the first batch of six main attack battalions to seize the beach shouted and pounced on the wave-proof embankment, and the Sherman tank and four-millimeter rocket artillery units and the 10,000-millimeter "wounded-millimeter howitzer units" transported by the follow-up tank landing ships landed one after another.
Under the cover of strong firepower, Rokusuke launched an attack inland.
It took only twenty minutes for the main attack battalion to plant the military flag on the core position of the Japanese army, and Song Yuhang was very reluctant about all this in front of him.
After the exercise, Song Yuhang convened an analysis meeting of officers at and above the company level of the participating units.
At the beginning of the meeting, Song Yuhang was unusual, and said in a deep voice with a cold face: "I don't know how you feel about today's exercise."
Qi Baiming and Liang Chao exchanged glances with each other.
Then the two of them focused on Zhang Tiansheng, and between the six main attack battalions, the second and third light divisions and the mountain infantry cluster each had two battalions, and all technical arms were all under Zhang Wei's command.
Qi Baiming, Liang Chao, Zhang Tiansheng, and Zhang Wei felt a slight difference from Song Yuhang's cold attitude, and the four of them could only remain silent about Commander Song's thunderous anger, they knew very well that this Xuan could be said to be too much and more wrong Song Yuhang saw that everyone was silent.
So he slapped the table and yelled: "Are you doing exercises or acting to show me, do you sweat less in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, do you want me to emphasize that you can still do it, you can still do it, you can do it or not, get out of here, what do you officers usually think, we are not afraid of sacrifice, but sacrifice must be meaningful" Song Yuhang's anger made Qi Baiming, Liang Chao, Zhang Tiansheng, and Xiao Zhang Wei red-faced, Song Yuhang was rarely so excited, so he didn't save face for his subordinates, this was the first time For today's performance-like exercise, Qi Baiming, Liang Chao, Zhang Tiansheng, Zhang Wei and other four people were speechless and faced the rebuke from Song Yuhang.
All can only remain silent.
Song Yuhang, who gradually calmed down, looked around.
With a long sigh, he said solemnly: "Today I will remind you that every soldier of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is a precious asset of the nation-state, and that you as an officer should know how to take care of your subordinates and comrades, which is your basic duty as an officer.
After the meeting, Song Yuhang returned to his headquarters in Hawaii, and the U.S. military was about to win the Philippine campaign, which would mean that the Chinese expeditionary force could launch a landing operation on Iwo Jima at any time.
As the main force of the Iwo Jima landing, Song Yuhang, the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, was very helpless many times.
The Japanese army in the county still maintained an absolute superiority, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as the most elite of the squadron, was fighting overseas, although it was also fighting the Japanese army, but there were very many people who could not understand Song Yuhang's arrangement.
In fact, people who know the real inside story know very well that the reason why the United States provides China with a large amount of military aid and lend-lease materials is because the squadron is more and more responsible, the world is fair, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, and the Chinese expeditionary force can be said to be exchanging its own blood for a steady stream of international weapons and materials for China.
Although China and the United States are allies, the United States is not obliged to provide free support to China.
All the assistance is obtained by the Chinese through their own continuous struggle, what is this?
The world is extremely realistic, and there is no gain without paying, which is the most basic conservation law.
In the Year of the Duck, in order to force the Chinese Expeditionary Force to send troops to Burma under extremely inadequate preparations, the United States even threatened to interrupt international aid, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force played an extremely important balancing role as a bargaining chip.
Without China's expeditionary force sending troops to Burma, fighting India, and staining the Pacific with blood, there would have been no continuous and strong support from the United States.
Moreover, Song Yuhang was clearly aware that the Chinese Expeditionary Force could play a greater role in the Pacific theater.
If it is in the domestic battlefield, in terms of the real situation in the country and the volume of transportation on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Ostrich Peak route, it will simply not be able to afford the supply of combat materials for as many as five mechanized armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
The total strength of the First Corps, the Second Corps, and the Third Corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Force under the name of Song Yuhang is close to 700,000, and all the elite and the Niang Army are concentrated here, but under the direct command of Song Yuhang, the supreme commander, only the five mechanized corps of the First Corps, and the Second Corps and the Third Corps are directly under the orders of Chongqing.
Regarding the incomprehension of the people at home, Song Yuhang, as the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, also had a misunderstanding and incomprehension that as a soldier, he had to bear everything.
For Japan, the Allied Forces' Pacific strategy was as clear and clear as reported in the newspapers, and the Allied Forces' "sub-heart Gangbiao" after the Philippines was Iwo Jima, which was located on the island of the absolute defensive ring.
Taking advantage of the gap between the US and Japanese armies fighting fiercely around the Philippines, the Chinese Expeditionary Force shipped all the troops except the Second Mechanized Corps under the command of Lieutenant General Qi Baiming, the Third Mechanized Corps under the command of Lieutenant General Liang Chao, the mountain infantry group under the command of Major General Zhang Tiansheng, the combat brigade under the command of Major General Wang Youliang of the Marine Corps, and the artillery group of the Chinese Expeditionary Force under the command of Zhang Wei back to Calcutta, India.
In order to gain an absolute strategic advantage over the Japanese-Indian dispatch forces, which were entrenched in India and were colluding with the German forces that controlled half of the Middle East, three of the five main mechanized armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were now all deployed in Calcutta, among which the most powerful ace troops such as the First Heavy Division were among them.
In order to coordinate Chang Tianfang, Zheng Dongguo and others, Song Yuhang sent Deputy Commander Cui Zhijun and Second Chief of Staff Lu Long back to Calcutta, and Song Yuhang's attitude towards the Japanese Indian Dispatch Army was to give uninterrupted blows, but to give the Japanese army time to recover, it can be said that the Japanese Indian Dispatch Army is the best sparring partner for the training of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Song Yuhang hesitated for a moment when seeing off Cui Zhijun, Lu Long and others, and said to Cui Zhijun: "The whole of India on this trip is entrusted to you, brother, and our army still implements the strategy formulated before.
To increase the speed of plundering India, we must also pay attention to the movements of the German army in the Middle East; although the Japanese regard India as something in their pockets, they must also let the Japanese dog jump over the wall in a hurry.
As the saying goes, it is not enough to plan for a while, the naval forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are not yet ready, Song Yuhang knows that the time he has left is already very tight, and the Philippine campaign that the US army is carrying out at the moment can be described as extremely smooth, and Song Yuhang knows that the smoother the US campaign in the Philippines, it also indicates that the Chinese Expeditionary Force's island landing operation and the subsequent landing on the Japanese mainland will encounter greater difficulties and resistance in the future.
Historically, the U.S. military was worried that it would suffer heavy casualties when landing in Japan, so it chose to drop the successfully developed set of bullets on the net, forcing the Japanese army to surrender unconditionally, while in history, Italy and Germany had already surrendered, and the so-called Axis powers were only a remnant of Japan.
However, the current situation is that the German army is still raging in Europe, the Soviet army is still unable to achieve a strategic advantage over the German army and its client states and the White Russian puppet army in all its might, the Soviet and German armies are completely fighting attrition, from the perspective of the nation-state, Song Yuhang hopes that the arrogant and greedy polar bear of the Soviet Union will suffer heavy losses in the war with the German army, only this polar bear becomes very weak, his threat to China will be reduced to a minimum, only in this way Song Yuhang will be able to get some benefits from the Far East in the future.
From the perspective of unpredictable international politics; Song Yuhang does not believe that there will be permanent allies in the world, and certainly not permanent enemies.
Everything has its own interests, and the fact that Japan, a little brother who has been following the United States since the beginning of World War I, can turn around and stab the boss in the face can explain everything.
In Song Yuhang's view, even if Germany occupied most of Europe, and France and Belgium, which had disappeared, were all victims of German expansion, there was no territorial border conflict between Germany and China, and it was the Soviet Union, one of the so-called four giants of the Central Powers, that has been devouring China's territory since modern times, and it is the Soviet Union, one of the so-called four giants of the Allies, that has a huge threat to China.
Bloodletting polar bears has always been a very urgent desire of Song Yuhang, so Song Yuhang has been encouraging Chiang Kai-shek and himself to spare no effort to sell Roosevelt his strategy of first Asia and then Europe. and exaggerated Roosevelt infinitely from the threat of the Soviet Union's Russian Red Empire in the future post-war period, and Song Yuhang's alarmism planted a seed of vigilance in the heart of Roosevelt, who originally supported the use of Soviet Russian attrition to fight against Germany.
On the 25th, Song Yuhang, who was discussing whether to replace the assault rifles of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India, received good news from Washington that seven two-port Super Fortress strategic bombers had completed the modification of their gunboat planes and would arrive in Hawaii at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
"This is really exciting good news," Song Yuhang waved his arms happily.
Early in the morning of the moon, Song Yuhang wore a straight military uniform, accompanied by Xu Tu'an, Xiao Liangchao, Fang Lin and others, waiting at the airport, the wait is always long, Song Yuhang was casually looking at his watch repeatedly, and Brigadier General Monteka, the commander of the 30th Army Air Corps who accompanied him, wiped the sweat overflowing from his head with a handkerchief from time to time, compared to Song Yuhang, who was wearing a shirt and tie and a khaki lapel general's egg, was still much cooler.

Song Yuhang, who was soaked with sweat, raised his binoculars from time to time to look around, and there was nothing in the blue sky except for a few white clouds that were slowly fluttering.
"Who is the commander of the fleet" Song Yuhang frowned, the group was already twenty minutes late than scheduled, Brigadier General Monteka checked the records and said to Song Yuhang: "It's Major Li Sufis of the original transport brigade" "Sophie" Song Yuhang's heart suddenly chuckled, the plane transition is different from the army troops' march, and its time is generally accurate to the minute.
Twenty minutes late in a poor connection is definitely not a normal behavior.
Eventually, the tower made contact with the gunboat brigade that had been transferred to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the familiar female voice on the radio allowed Song Yuhang to immediately identify that Major Li Sophie was the one who had not been in contact with him since his trip to Washington.
Song Zaihang didn't expect it anyway.
Sophie, who had already been promoted to major, turned out to be his gunboat," the voice of the captain Sophie, who was immediately recognized, made Song Yuhang not know what to say.
Little Old Voyage found himself unable to give orders to Sophie, as if he couldn't get himself to give orders to Suna.
It is true that Song Yuhang ignored one point, as an excellent Chinese pilot, Sophie has flown all types of US military transport planes, and is also an excellent crew member who has completed 70 flights from the "Hump Line", which can be called the most difficult air line in the world, and is one of the very few female pilots who have flown the Cong bomber.
But the above qualifications are not enough for Sophie to serve as the captain of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Gunboat Aircraft Brigade, the most important thing is that Sophie is Chinese, and Song Yuhang has an inexplicable layer of Song Yuhang himself has deep hopes for the gunboat machine transformed from the four super air fortresses, Song Yuhang originally did not have too much hope that the gunboat machine could be quickly modified, at least he did not expect the progress of the gunboat machine transformation to be so fast At the Hawaii airport, Song Yuhang looked at the seven small black dots and appeared in the sky first.
Then the seven behemoths slowly entered the parking position after circling, slowing down, entering, and sliding to stop.
Song Yuhang turned around the seven gunboats that had been sprayed with the blue sky and white Japanese insignia on the fuselage and turned around excitedly, and after Sophie led all the crew members to line up, half of Feng Du turned to Song Yuhang, and simply saluted a military salute and reported: "Report to the commander, the gunboat and aircraft brigade of the Chinese volunteers of the US Army Air Corps has been assembled, please instruct" Song Yuhang nodded with satisfaction, the Sophie in his eyes was still so heroic.
It's still so wild.
Song Yuhang snorted softly when passing in front of Sophie, and straightened his boat-shaped hat with a serious face for a Chinese female newspaper operator next to Sophie, and the energetic young men were all excited to hold their chests and stomachs, Song Yuhang standing in front of them can be described as a hero in the hearts of Chinese Americans, and the topics they talk about most are related to Song Yuhang, a Chinese general with huge influence in the United States, and behind this general there is a powerful elite division that Britain and the United States admire, A national armed force belonging to China.
Song Yuhang boarded the gunboat and found that there was a very big difference from the modification plan he had seen before, first of all, the wounded millimeter howitzer he had been expecting became two stone millimeter guns, and then there were four more quadruple 10,000-millimeter machine guns, and the original six twin-linked closed-inch caliber azimuth machine gun turrets were all retained, which made the Yu Super Aerial Fortress strategic bombing buckle still have a certain air self-defense capability, but the crew also increased by eight people, making the narrow space in the cabin more crowded.
Especially in the gun position of the two millimeter guns arranged on top and bottom, the people who came and went could only jump up and down.
Song Yuhang stroked the modified Naimm guns that were all retracted into the engine room at this moment, and he found that the two Namm guns were fixed on the same pair of upper and lower hydraulic systems, which was very obvious, and this group of two sets of hydraulic systems was the hydraulic control system of the Naimm guns.
Song Yuhang saw at a glance that these two millimeter guns were actually lightweight and improved versions of rapid-fire guns, and what surprised Song Yuhang was that the aiming system of the guns was very unexpected, because of the lack of precise fire control calculation devices, it was difficult for the gunboats to achieve accurate shooting when hovering in the air, and the hit rate of the guns was relatively low.
In addition, the so-called curved speed calculation pusher installed on the 20-inch quadruple projection scope mount can be said to alleviate the shortcomings of the gun's low hit rate due to the speed to a certain extent, and the most innovative is the so-called automatic loading system of the millimeter gun.
The shells are lifted into the chamber through two manpower-hydraulic rocker arm support lifting systems to complete the locking system to achieve the purpose of firing, while the latest special tail deshelling armor-piercing shells are manually loaded.
In Song Yuhang's view, two millimeter guns plus four quadruple 10,000-millimeter machine guns as the main firepower of the gunboat machine is enough, which is enough to deal with the Japanese army, which is mainly lightly armed, and the 10,000-millimeter artillery equipped with special ammunition can also meet the tactical support needs of the Chinese expeditionary force.
The U.S.
Army Aviation Department has also paid special attention to these seven gunboat planes converted from the Yu Super Air Fortress, and since the Boeing company's modification plan was released, Lieutenant General Chegnandez, the first deputy secretary of the Army Aviation Department, has realized that the gunboat aircraft is a unique weapon.
Its broad prospects and great application utility.
Under the supervision of the Army Aviation Department, Song Yuhang's urgently needed gunboat aircraft was able to complete the transformation and equip it so quickly.
Shegnandez sent a large number of technicians to follow the gunboat brigade, nominally as a technical service support guarantee, but in fact to extract and accumulate key data on the actual combat of the gunboat aircraft.
After the gunboat began its routine inspection, Song Yuhang received a letter from China "Important.
