    Dive bombers are a type of bomber that attack enemy ground or water targets in a high-speed dive. They were active in World War II.  Due to its small bomb load, it is mainly used for tactical bombing, but it can also be used for strategic bombing.  Compared with horizontal bombers of the same period, the advantage of dive bombers is that they have a high bombing hit rate and are much more efficient.  During World War II, the most famous dive bomber was the German Stuka, known as the "Screaming Death".  But it¡¯s not just the Germans who have dive bombers. The Americans have them, the British have them, and the Soviets also have them.  This time, the Chinese Air Force used to bomb Guangzhou City was the Soviet PE-2 dive bomber.  There are not many, just thirty.  This is not because Qin Wei is stingy, the key is that the Soviets simply cannot spare many aircraft to "support" China now.  Faced with the indiscriminate bombing by the Germans, almost all the aircraft they could use were used.  Had they not been eager to break the German "ice and snow defense line" outside Stalingrad, there was no way they would have agreed to this condition proposed by Qin Wei.  Unfortunately, the situation they faced did not allow them to bargain with Qin Wei, and in the end they could only squeeze out a few PE-2s.  Not only that, when each plane flew back from the Soviet Union, it also brought "a few kilograms" of gold with it As for the amount, that is a secret.  Dive bombers dive very quickly, and as long as they do not drop below 1,000 meters, it is almost difficult for anti-aircraft guns to hit the target.  However, Qin Wei did not use these precious bombers to deal with the concentrating Guangzhou defenders. His target was the anti-aircraft guns.  The anti-aircraft shooting just now has exposed many hidden anti-aircraft gun positions. He wants to use these PE-2s to carry out targeted elimination.  In this way, under the horrified gaze of Governor Tada, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery stronghold in Guangzhou City received a violent blow.  And not long after the flames rose from those anti-aircraft gun positions.  A larger number of bombers and transport aircraft also appeared in the distant sky.  ¡­ ¡°So far, the operation is going well.¡± Guilin, the Fourth Theater Command.  After receiving the report from the front line, Wu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.  Although he is a senior member of the national army and his qualifications are relatively old.  He and Bai Chongxi could even be considered classmates, but since returning from abroad, his main job was as a combat consultant, and he rarely actually commanded a battle.  This raid on Guangzhou was the largest battle he had commanded since joining the army.  It is inevitable that I feel a little nervous.  But it was okay in the end because I had calculated it properly beforehand.  All departments are progressing fairly smoothly.  "The First Paratrooper Division has broken into Guangzhou and is fighting the Japanese defenders in the streets. In addition, Wang Yaowu has already set off from Wuzhou. He will land at Tianhe Airport in about an hour or two and can directly command the frontline battle." "The airport has been captured.  ?" Bai Chongxi stayed aside and asked hurriedly after hearing this.  "Basically won." Wu Shi let out a sigh of relief.  "Because the Japanese didn't expect that we would launch an attack on the outside, they had no time to respond. They didn't even have time to destroy the airport roads, and they left us with dozens of planes." "That's good." Bai Chongxi's expression  He also relaxed, "With the airport in hand, even if we can't take Guangzhou, we can advance and retreat freely. We won't be attacked by the enemy." "The one who besieged the airport is also the 1st Paratrooper Division, right?" Zhang Fakui asked Qin Wei.  "Yes." Qin Wei nodded.  "They are the oldest and most elite airborne troops. Only they can perform this mission." "Then how did you send them near the airport without the Japanese noticing?" Zhang Fakui asked again.  road.  Whether or not the airport can be captured is crucial to this operation.  Because if there is no airport, they can only use airborne for this raid.  Although the Airborne Army has been expanded several times, there are still only one or two divisions that have truly formed combat effectiveness. The rest of the divisions have just entered airborne training not long ago. Being able to jump from the sky is already good. If you want to quickly form combat effectiveness after landing,  , basically impossible.  But obviously, it is unrealistic to win the city of Guangzhou with just one or two divisions.  What's more.  Even if they can capture Guangzhou, in the face of the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army, these airborne troops will most likely become meat buns and beat up dogs, with no return.  But it's different with the airport. They can continuously transport troops and supplies to Guangzhou.  The real realization lies in the internal and external cooperation in the entire theater.  Even if the final plan fails, as long as the airport is not lost, we can still retreat calmly.  But the only thing is that up until now, Qin Wei has been very secretive about how to seize the airport, and has not told them whether or not they will.  This made them feel itchy all the time, especially after they learned that the battle in the direction of the airport was progressing smoothly.  "To put it bluntly, it's actually not a great method. But most people really can't do it." Qin Wei said with a smile.  "I know you are great."Chong Xi glared at him: "We are not outsiders here, what's the point of hiding it? Come on!" "Haha," Qin Wei smiled and pursed his lips: "We use  "Basically skydiving?" "Basically skydiving?" Several people didn't understand and were a little confused.  "At present, although there have not been many airborne operations in the world, these limited data can allow us to discover one thing, that is, 60%-70% of the combat attrition of the airborne troops occurs in the air. Paratroopers  From the time they jump out of the plane to the time they land, they have basically no combat effectiveness. Therefore, at this time, they become a living target for the enemy's ground anti-airborne firepower." Qin Wei breathed out, "So, Wang Yaowu took over the airborne troops.  After that, I instructed him to conduct low-altitude parachuting training, because the lower the parachuting height, the shorter the time the paratroopers stay in the air, the more effectively they can reduce casualties, and the smaller the area where people and equipment are scattered after landing, which facilitates the rapid assembly of troops and rapid formation of combat effectiveness.  According to the training data, we found that when the paratroopers performed a low-altitude parachute jump, the anti-aircraft guns basically landed safely. "But the First Paratrooper Division was attacking Tianhe Airport from the outside!"  The brows are slightly raised.  There was a lot of data in Qin Wei's words, which opened his eyes for a while, and he also saw the tactical value of low-altitude skydiving.  But he has always been paying attention to the progress of the battle and is very clear about the actions of the 1st Paratrooper Division.  The First Parachute Division did not parachute over Tianhe Airport, but on the periphery. Even before they launched their attack, the defenders at Tianhe Airport had not discovered them.  "Low-altitude skydiving is very dangerous because the paratroopers only have a few seconds to open the parachute bag. Once it is too late, the person will have fallen to the ground before the parachute opens If there are enemies below at this time,  Do you think they are invincible Xiaoqiang?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes at this guy, "So, the First Paratrooper Division parachuted a few kilometers away from the Tianhe Airport and then conducted a forced march" "Listen to what you said,  This kind of low-altitude parachuting is really dangerous. It's really not easy for the First Paratrooper Division to do it," Xu Tingyao sighed.  "Of course it's not easy." Qin Wei snorted coldly and gritted his teeth again, "Just during training, forty-seven fell to death alive! This bastard Wang Yaowu, I asked him to do it step by step, and he actually fell to death all of a sudden.  Give me a whole division If I hadn't realized it early, I wouldn't have had to wait for the war with the Japanese to start, and the first paratrooper division would have been reduced by several percent!" "" Unexpectedly, Qin Wei would suddenly get angry, and Bai Chongxi and the others looked at each other.  After a quick glance, they all felt helpless and a little funny If the paratroopers could land safely before the enemy's anti-aircraft guns were aimed at them, the tactical value of the paratroopers would skyrocket by several levels.  Compared to this, what does it mean to kill a few people?  Not to mention a mere forty-seven, even four hundred and seventy is not too many.  Think about it, if this kind of training is not carried out, when the paratroopers fall from the sky, 60 to 70% of them will be killed at once, wouldn't there be many more dead than these people?  "Let the front line prepare. When the Japanese heard that Guangzhou was attacked, they will definitely return to rescue. We can't let them withdraw so easily." Zhang Fakui said fiercely on the side.  "What a pity." Bai Chongxi shook his head and sighed, "If we didn't care about the people in Guangzhou City, what if we just put all these Japs back? Let them fight to the death with the Yankees." "That's fine too.  The Yankees must first break through the interception of Sano Tadayoshi's 38th Division," Wu Shi said.  "With MacArthur's ability, even if the equipment is insufficient, Sano Tadayoshi should not be able to stop him." Bai Zongxi smiled, "It's a pity that this old guy is too smart and refuses to conduct military exercises at the same time as the war. Otherwise, while he is away,  , we have a greater chance of winning. " "I have to help you fight again, and you have to beat me up. Do you think that you have lived so many years in vain?" Qin Wei looked at him with disdain, "You can become a general.  "Yes, who is not as smart as a ghost?" "According to your statement, there are actually a bunch of ghosts living here?" Bai Chongxi said with a smile.  "Hey, don't talk about me," Wu Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just a lieutenant general. He's not very smart." "And me." Xu Tingyao also raised his hand with a smile, "I'm also a lieutenant general.  "You were a ghost before, but now you are a ghost." Zhang Fakui also pointed at Xu Tingyao with a smile, "But it will be a matter of time." "Come on.  If we say that again, we will become a 'ghost against a ghost' with the Japanese!" Qin Wei smiled bitterly and said worriedly: "Wang Yaowu only has one army. It will be difficult for him to capture Guangzhou. I want to give him more.  "People." "You underestimate people." Bai Chongxi snorted.??: "One army, and they are all elites selected from each ministry. If it can't take down the mere city of Guangzhou, Wang Yaowu's years of wandering will be in vain. Compared with him, I am more worried about MacArthur's side Although  I don¡¯t think Tadayoshi Sano can stop him, but who can guarantee what the actual situation will be?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I don¡¯t know how the Americans are doing now.¡± Everyone was also a little worried.
