Chapter 102 Target confirmed: Yangmingbao Airport!
"How to say?"
Seeing Yu Ye’s reaction, Li Yunlong knew that Yu Ye had a solution.
"Old Li, let's say you want to catch a castrated rooster. This rooster is extremely ferocious, runs very fast, and likes to grab you with its mouth and scratch you with its claws. What are you going to do?"
"Besides, you haven't got the right guy to catch it yet."
Yu Ye did not answer his question directly.
"Then I'll wait until it returns to its cage at night and then catch it."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, Lao Li, we can wait until he enters the cage and can't fly, then catch him, right?"
Zhao Gang also understood Yu Ye's intention.
Since the Japanese plane is flying too fast and we can't catch it, why don't we just wait until it stops on the ground and then catch it?
"Old Zhao, go and say hello to the guerrillas and local comrades, and keep an eye on the movements of these planes.
Although the designed range of this reconnaissance aircraft is 2400 kilometers, I estimate that it should be under the command of the First Army of the North China Expeditionary Force.
Moreover, by analyzing their flying posture, it can be seen that the amount of fuel consumed by the Japanese planes flying over should not be large.
I judge that their airport should be within 150 kilometers."
Yu Ye made a simple analysis based on the current situation.
"Okay, I will immediately arrange for local comrades to help us gather some information. It will be easier for us once we have a target." Zhao Gang nodded.
"Then Old Yu, how do you plan to deal with this Japanese airport?" Li Yunlong asked.
"Of course it's fried!"
Yu Ye answered without thinking.
"By the way, regiment commander and political commissar, you should pay attention to evacuating the masses in the next two days, and let the soldiers be stationed as dispersed as possible, while also making it easy to assemble.
I infer that since the Japanese have discovered the existence of our military forces in this direction, they will definitely arrange bombers to bomb. "
"Okay!" Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang responded together.
"Oh, by the way, we must tell the soldiers not to act rashly when facing enemy aircraft. No, we must not expose our firepower.
Using our current firepower to fight the Japs head-on is like hitting a rock with an egg."
Yu Ye said very seriously.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded seriously.
The entire independent regiment could clearly see the damage caused by the exposed firepower.
Yu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, not because he was afraid of fighting, but because with the current level of firepower, the success rate of ambushing the enemy's planes was extremely low.
Using dozens of lives to gamble on a possible probability is really a losing business. Even if one comrade of the Eighth Route Army died, Yu Ye felt extremely distressed.
What’s more, dozens of lives?
After returning to Liaoyuan Arsenal, Yu Ye issued instructions to all workers and college students, requiring them to stay inside the arsenal and work hard on production for the near future.
Some less hazardous processes require three shifts of work around the clock.
It was not only to provide sufficient firepower for the subsequent bombing of the Japanese airport, but Yu Ye also had a hunch that if the Japanese airport was really destroyed, the hatred of the Independent Regiment in the eyes of the Japanese would deepen, and at that time the Independent Regiment would probably face a crazy counterattack from the Japanese.
At this time, firepower reserves must be strengthened.
Sure enough, as Yu Ye had expected, after the Japanese reconnaissance plane discovered the existence of our armed forces, it attracted bombers.
Even the Japs' speed was unusually fast.
Almost on the same day, when the independent regiment had finished evacuating the people, more than a dozen Japanese bombers arrived.
Dozens of bombs were dropped in large numbers.
Because the location of the Liaoyuan Arsenal was very concealed, and the Japanese did not have bunker-buster bombs at the time, the Liaoyuan Arsenal was not discovered at all and did not suffer any bombing.
Yu Ye and two students who were temporarily unemployed stood at the hidden window of the Liaoyuan Arsenal on the cliff cave, watching the Japanese bombers dropping bombs one after another and the people's houses being blown down.
Yu Ye said nothing, but this picture is the best patriotic education.
The two young men were already in tears: "Mr. Yu, is there any way to stop these little devils?
These are the houses where the villagers live.
A few days ago, the villagers gave us fruit and pickled vegetables to eat.”
"There is no way now, but the solution to this problem is in your hands." Yu Ye said with a long sigh.
"Sir, is there any good way to shoot down these Japanese planes?"
"We can use our aircraft, our own anti-aircraft artillery arrays, and our own missile arrays."
"Then sir, with our current industrial level, which one will produce the fastest results?"
The student who was speaking clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and tears were already streaming down his face.
"Build our own anti-aircraft artillery array."
"What can I do?" The young man answered very straightforwardly without any nonsense. He just wanted to get to work as soon as possible.
He only knew that if he started working one minute earlier, the Japanese would have one minute less time to wantonly humiliate Chinese land.
"Okay, I have a design for an anti-aircraft gun, and I've just started. But the most difficult part is casting the gun barrel.
It needs to withstand extremely high temperature and pressure repeatedly in a short period of time without any deformation.
I have an idea to solve this problem, and I need you to continue to implement it.
Can you do it? Li Zhengang. "
"Sir, no matter whether I can do it now or not, I will definitely be able to do it in the end." The young man named Li Zhengang nodded heavily, his lips had been bitten white by him.
"Sir, what technology is that?"
“Electroslag remelting.”
......
After the Japanese invaders wreaked havoc for several days, bombing almost all the villages and places where possible sentry posts, they finally calmed down.
But the village is in a complete mess.
Hardly a single house was left intact.
Fortunately, after the people were evacuated in advance, there were no casualties. In this day and age, as long as people are alive, it is better than anything else.
At this time, the guerrillas and local comrades sent news at the same time, saying that the airport where this batch of Japanese reconnaissance planes and bombers took off had been found.
As Yu Ye expected, it was no more than 150 kilometers, and the straight-line distance was 137 kilometers away.
Yangmingbao Airport.
