Chapter 318: Pleasant Mountain Village
On the political chessboard of China, the relationship between Omanrik and Jiang Wufa is like a complicated rope, intertwined with interests and contradictions.
Jiang Wufa, the overlord who dominated one side, knew that his own strength was not enough to confront the powerful Omanrek and the People's Liberation Army head-on, so he was quite dependent on Omanrek's technical support and weapons and equipment.
Russia's advanced weapon systems, such as towed 155mm cannons and M1 tanks, became the backbone of Jiang Wufa's army, greatly enhancing its combat effectiveness.
However, dependence does not mean submission.
Jiang Wufa's loyalty to the Chinese nation and his desire for national unity made it impossible for him to accept Omanrek's proposal of reconciliation with the Japanese pirates.
In his view, the Japanese pirates were enemies of China, and making peace with the enemy was tantamount to betrayal.
This difference in position has kept the relationship between Jiang Wufa and Omanrik in a delicate balance.
At this time, a shocking news quietly spread in the Omanrek military camp - a scientific expedition team of the People's Liberation Army was secretly heading to Lop Nur in the western desert to prepare for the test of mushroom bombs.
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in Omanrek and attracting high attention.
In Omanrek's heavily guarded and tense combat command center, various military data and dynamic maps kept flashing on the huge electronic screen, and a depressing atmosphere filled the room.
The staff officers hurried along, exchanging various intelligence information in low voices, and the slight humming of the machines added a sense of solemnity.
Commander-in-Chief Durres had a stern expression on his face, wearing a neat military uniform, standing in front of a huge map of China. His eyes were fixed on the location of Lop Nur in the western desert, and his eyes were filled with deep worry and thought.
He recalled the fierce air battle with the Chinese Air Force over Shimen. It was a painful memory.
At that time, Omanrek relied on the strength of its air force and launched a surprise attack on China. However, it did not expect that the Chinese Air Force would resist stubbornly. With excellent tactics and heroic fighting spirit, Omanrek lost most of its fighter planes and bombers, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.
The failure of that battle dealt a heavy blow to Omanrek's air force, and Durres still has lingering fears.
Chief of Staff Jessbon hurried in, holding a document tightly in his hand. He came to Durres with a nervous look and said:
"General, I just verified the news. The Chinese People's Liberation Army's scientific expedition team is rapidly advancing towards Lop Nur. All signs indicate that they are very likely to conduct mushroom bomb experiments there."
Durres turned his head slightly, his face showing even more worry, and said in a low voice:
“Sure enough, this news confirms our concerns.
If China successfully develops mushroom bombs, the international situation will be extremely unfavorable to us, and our strategic advantages will be greatly impacted."
Jessbon nodded slightly, his brows furrowed.
"Yes, General.
The power of the strategic weapon "Mushroom Bomb" is too great. Once China masters it, our military influence in this region will be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, their military technology has advanced rapidly in recent years. If this test is successful, the subsequent military threat will be difficult to predict."
Durres folded his arms across his chest, lowered his head slightly, and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly said:
“We have to stop them, but it’s easier said than done.
Do you remember the air battle over Shimen? We paid a heavy price. The strength of the Chinese Air Force should not be underestimated.
If we act rashly again this time, especially using the air force, can we really succeed?"
Jessbon frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"Commander-in-Chief, I understand your concerns. The defeat in the Shimen air battle was a painful loss for us.
But the situation is different this time. The Chinese expedition team mainly focuses on scientific research tasks, and their defense forces are relatively dispersed.
Moreover, after this period of reorganization and development, the equipment and tactics of the Air Force have been greatly improved.
As long as we plan carefully and choose the right time and route, we are confident that we can complete the task.
Moreover, Gu Shousan in the northwest seems to have had conflicts with the liberated areas.”
Durres raised his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes:
“Having said that, the risks remain enormous.
If the operation fails, not only will we fail to stop China's mushroom bomb test, but we will also suffer another heavy blow and lose face internationally."
Jessbon took a step forward and said firmly:
"Commander-in-Chief, I understand your concerns, but we don't have many options now.
If we sit idly by and do nothing, we will be faced with an even more passive situation once China possesses mushroom bombs.
We can select the most elite pilots, equip them with the most advanced fighter jets, develop a detailed combat plan, avoid the main defense areas of the Chinese Air Force, and catch them off guard."
Durres paced slowly on the spot, struggling fiercely in his heart.
Recalling the disastrous defeat in the Shimen air battle, he was filled with conflict, but faced with the huge threat posed by China's mushroom bomb test, he felt that he could not sit idly by and wait for death.
Finally, he stopped, a look of determination flashing in his eyes:
"Well, in that case, let's take a chance.
You must make careful preparations, select the best air force, and formulate a foolproof battle plan. We must not repeat the mistakes of the Shimen air battle."
Jessbon immediately stood at attention and saluted solemnly:
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief! I will do my utmost to ensure the smooth implementation of the operation and deal a heavy blow to the Chinese expedition team."
After saying this, Jessbon turned and walked away quickly. Durres watched him leave, then cast his gaze back to Lop Nur on the map, silently praying that this operation would be successful...
Shantun Ningci, who was parasitic in Peking, enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable time for nearly half a year.
In the past six months, the Omanriks have finally stopped using themselves as pawns and sending their own men to their deaths.
Once upon a time, Japanese pirate soldiers were used as cannon fodder. Even though they knew they were no match for the enemy, they were forced to pick up their swords, rush forward howling like ghosts and wolves, and be torn to pieces by cannonballs.
After that, he was called "waste" by the Omanrik people, who blamed his big plaster warriors for not being able to withstand even a small 155mm howitzer shell!
"Get your ass to work! Let your Omanriks try to take on a 155mm howitzer!"
Now, the Omanriks' focus has shifted to being the first to develop mushroom bombs.
The Japanese pirates were finally able to stop and train their troops, lick their wounds, and restore their strength.
This seemingly peaceful six months was like the eerie calm before a storm, which gradually relaxed the nerves of the Japanese puppet army soldiers.
The patrolling soldiers hummed a tuneless plaster tune, and the butts of their guns tapped the ground weakly with their steps, as if this land had completely surrendered to their iron hooves.
However, their plundering pace never stopped for a moment.
There are endless treasures hidden under the black soil of Northeast China.
Coal mines lie dormant in the depths of the earth like black giants, iron mines gleam with a cold metallic luster, and copper mines exude a mysterious aura through the years of sedimentation.
There are also other precious non-ferrous metal minerals, like scattered stars, waiting to be snatched by the greedy.
The Omanriks and Japanese pirates, armed with advanced exploration equipment and cruel ambitions, frantically exploited these resources.
Their mine carts shuttled through the mining area day and night, transporting cartloads of ore to the port, which were then loaded onto huge ships and shipped to distant factories.
If they had not passed by the Daqing Oilfield during their exploration and failed to discover the black gold buried deep underground, China's oil resources would probably have suffered a catastrophe.
With the rich resources plundered from the Northeast and the technical support provided by the Omanriks, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese pirates seemed to be infused with evil magic and were constantly upgraded.
New types of guns were born in the factory, flashing a cold and deadly light;
Armored vehicles roared past on the tracks, raising clouds of dust;
Jet fighters circled in the sky, making a harsh roar.
As their military power grew, so did their ambitions.
With the "reconciliation" with the Omanrik people, Gaoyao and Omanrik quickly demarcated their sphere of influence, and the Japanese pirates' troops in Southeast Asia withdrew to their homeland like a tide.
These soldiers who returned from the tropical rainforest, covered in miasma and the smell of blood, set foot on Chinese soil again without even taking a bath.
Their arrival further strengthened the Japanese pirates' military strength.
Of the only 10 aircraft carriers owned by the Japanese pirates, 8 are concentrated in the waters of China.
The division that was once beaten to pieces and in a miserable state by our army on the battlefield in China has now been reorganized.
Those destroyed and crippled units reappeared on the military flags like ghosts, as if announcing to the world that their sins would not end there.
However, the problem of recruiting soldiers for the Japanese pirates became increasingly serious.
The long-term war consumption caused the Japanese population to decrease sharply, and the supply of troops became scarce.
In order to fill the gap in military strength, the Japanese pirate leaders came up with a crazy idea - to form a female soldier corps and a veteran soldier corps.
Under the propaganda that was severely brainwashed by militarist ideas, countless plaster women were blinded. They cut their hair short, put plasters on their foreheads, put on military uniforms, picked up weapons, and became members of the Japanese pirate army.
These female soldiers were sweating on the training ground, but their eyes revealed a twisted fanaticism, as if they were not fighting to defend their country, but sacrificing themselves for a crazy nightmare.
And the veterans were drafted back into the army.
In this life you will either die of old age or die in battle, so don't expect to be demobilized and go home.
In terms of weapons and equipment, our army's "divine birds" were like sharp swords, which severely stung the nerves of the Japanese pirates.
On the battlefield, the "divine bird" repeatedly tore through the Japanese pirates' defenses and turned their strongholds into a sea of fire.
The tanks and armored vehicles destroyed by the "Divine Bird" piled up on the battlefield like scrap metal, witnessing the bravery and strength of our army.
The Japanese pirates were terrified when they heard about the "divine bird". They were both afraid of and longed for it. They dreamed of owning this weapon that could change the situation on the battlefield.
However, reality dealt them a heavy blow.
Even the missile technology of the Omanriks is far behind that of our army, not to mention the pitiful little technology that the Omanriks revealed to the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese scientists studied day and night but were unable to break through the technical bottleneck.
They looked at the wreckage of the "divine birds" with despair and greed in their eyes.
In the abyss of despair, the Japanese pirates finally came up with a crazy plan - "man-carrying divine bird".
They loaded a Japanese soldier who had been completely brainwashed by militarism into the missile cockpit like cargo.
They pilot missiles to strike ground targets.
For this type of missile, once the hatch is closed, it cannot be reopened, either from the inside or the outside.
If the people inside do not sacrifice themselves voluntarily, they will eventually starve to death in the missile.
These soldiers had crazy lights flashing in their eyes. They thought they were fulfilling their loyalty to the Heavenly Locusts and fighting for the glory of the empire.
In fact, they were just victims of the crazy plans of the Japanese pirate leaders.
When the missile explodes, they will be reduced to ashes along with the missile and become the victims of this evil war.
However, the irony is that despite the high cost, the hit rate of this biologically guided missile is extremely low!
Even without any interference factors, the hit rate is less than 30%.
In the eyes of the Japanese pirate leaders, a probability of less than 30% is not low, at least several times higher than the hit rate of less than 50% of unguided rockets!
