Chapter 58 Aircraft Carrier Attack Plan

  Wu Bing heard that General Chen Cheng of the Command Headquarters had arrived at the 51st Division Headquarters and specifically asked to see him. Not daring to be slow, he hastily handed over the training matters and rushed to the division headquarters.

  Arriving at the entrance of the commander's tent, Zheng said to Wu Bing: "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and report."

  Wu Bing nodded and said: "En, you go!" Zheng Canmou hastily went into the division headquarters to report, while Wu Bing waited outside the door.

  Before long, a commotion was heard from within the command center, and then more than a dozen people walked out. The insignia on several of their collars were shining brightly with golden light, dazzling Wu Bing's eyes.

  The person surrounded in the middle was none other than Chen Cheng, a renowned figure in the history of the GMD's Civil Engineering Department.

  Wu Bing recognized Chen Cheng, who was now the commander of the 15th Group Army, but pretended not to know him. He shouted to the people standing on the steps: "Greetings, sir!"

  Commander-in-Chief Chen Cheng, surrounded in the middle of the 15th Group Army, saw the person saluting himself below the steps. The man in front had that unique tenacity and ferocity peculiar to soldiers.

  Wu Bing saw his superior Wang Yaowu whispering a few words in Chen Cheng's ear, and Chen Cheng smiled and nodded after listening.

  Chen Cheng smiled and said to Wu Bing: "You are the one who bravely broke into the R Army Division Command, killing the R Army 11th Division Major General Chief of Staff. You are the Wu Bing who 'lured' the R Navy to shell the east bank of the Panjing River!"

  The vanguard was indeed the Wu army, but it was my entire third battalion that charged into the enemy's division headquarters and killed their chief of staff. The 'deception' to lure the enemy's naval gunfire to the east bank of the Panjing River would have been difficult to succeed without the close cooperation of all officers and men of the 51st Division.

  After listening to Wu Bing's words, Chen Cheng burst out laughing and said: Good! No need to take credit, no need to be arrogant. With talents like you in our party and country, what are we afraid of? The bandits will be driven away soon!

  At this time, Wang Yaowu said in a timely manner: Director Chen, let's go inside the house to talk, don't stand outside.

  Chen Cheng patted his forehead and laughed: Right, right, you see how excited I am. Come on, let's go inside the house to talk.

  He then said to Wu Bing: This time I came with an important matter to discuss with you, let's go to the house and talk slowly.

  Wu Bing immediately stood at attention and shouted: Yes!

  Chen Cheng and several others turned around and walked into the house, with Wang Yaowu pulling up the rear. He said to Wu Bing: "The special forces' outstanding performance behind enemy lines has received attention from the Group Army Command. This time, Director Chen is on a secret mission for you to complete, so he came personally to the 51st Division."

  Wu Bing followed behind his superior, Wang Yaowu, to a temporarily prepared conference room. Upon entering the room, Wu Bing saw that there were only a handful of people inside, all of whom were generals with golden insignia on their collars.

  Wu Bing thought to himself: This mission is very arduous and difficult to complete. Otherwise, even the commander of the 15th Army Group, Chen Cheng, would not have come in person to issue the task at the headquarters of the 51st Division.

  At this time, Chen Cheng, who was waiting in the conference room, let Wang Yaowu and Wu Bing sit down, and then said to the two: Your 51st Division has brought out the prestige of our country's soldiers, not only earning glory for your 51st Division but also for the 15th Army Group.

  The command sword of Lieutenant General Xiong Ben, the chief of staff of the 11th Division, which you sent over the day before yesterday, has been delivered to Nanking and presented to the Chairman. This is the first general-level command sword we have captured since the war with Japan began.

  Moreover, according to the Intelligence Department, because their navy was deceived and mistakenly bombed its own army, their naval commander has committed seppuku to apologize to the army. So this time you not only killed a major general-level chief of staff but also forced a naval lieutenant general-level commander to death.

  Wu Bing and his instructor Wang Yaowu exchanged a glance, both seeing delight in each other's eyes.

  Chen Cheng continued: I reckon your unit will soon receive another commendation from the commander-in-chief, and I hope you'll continue to strive for excellence.

  Wu Bing and Wang Yaowu stood up after listening, and then heard Wang Yaowu say: My troops will surely fight bravely, and we will not betray the trust of your excellency and Director Chen.

  Chen Cheng nodded and let the two sit down, saying to Wang Yaowu: Because your 51st Special Warfare Brigade has made outstanding achievements in the recent period, we have come this time with a mission to 'hand over' to them.

  Wang Yaowu immediately asked Chen Cheng: "What task does Director Chen have that he wants to 'hand over' to the 51st Special Warfare Brigade? Please explain?"

  Although the little devil in front was severely damaged and its attack speed slowed down, after these few days of replenishment and rest, the little devil has made preparations for another attack.

  You also saw that although the little devils' ground forces did not launch an attack on us, but the little devils' planes dropped bombs on the front lines every day, and the brothers on the front lines were bombed to the point of unbearable suffering.

  According to frontline reconnaissance, these planes all came from the "Chiyoda" aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy anchored at Wusongkou. Perhaps they wanted revenge for their commander, and the intensity of the attack was very strong in the past few days.

  Based on your previous performance, I thought of you. Said Commander-in-Chief Chen Cheng of the 15th Group Army.

  Commander Wang Yaowu cautiously asked Chen Cheng: "General Chen, you can't be suggesting that the 51st Special Forces go and blow up the 'Chiyoda' aircraft carrier of the R naval forces?"

  Chen Cheng smiled and said to Wang Yaowu: What's wrong, can't bear to part with your special forces?

  Master Wang Yaowu hastily denied; it's not that I don't want to give up, but the special forces team doesn't have experience in this area. I'm afraid there will be losses when the time comes. If you must go, you must discuss with Wu Bing first, he is more familiar with this aspect.

  King Yaowu immediately asked Wu Bing beside him: What do you think? If there's anything on your mind, just tell Officer Chen directly.

  Wu Bing thought for a moment and then directly said to Chen Cheng: If Officer Chen can provide me with the equipment I need, we can try it out when the time comes.

  "What equipment do you need? Chen Cheng asked."

  I need a timed bomb with magnetic properties, capable of blasting through the hull of a ship. Also, I want the diving equipment that foreign powers are currently equipping their troops with. If we can be equipped with these devices, we can give it a try.

  Chen Cheng listened to Wu Bing's request and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, saying: "Don't even mention preparing these equipment for you, I've never even heard of them."

  Wu Bing's heart was also filled with a sense of helplessness. The current Z country can be said to have everything it wants, but nothing is its own! Everything is imported from abroad, but who would sell advanced equipment to another country?

  It also seems that history recorded the "Yamato" aircraft carrier was sunk by bombing, and it seemed to be sunk after a torpedo was sent to the vicinity of the ship by a diver and detonated.

  Then asked: Is there a naval mine?

  Yes, I can prepare this for you. Chen Cheng said.

  Wu Bing said to his superior Wang Yaowu: "Sir, if there are naval mines, we can give it a try."

  Master Wang Yaowu asked: How confident are you?

  Wu Bing thought for a moment and said: Seventy percent confidence.

  Alright! Since you're confident, then go ahead! I'll hand you over to Officer Chen. Wang Yaowu said.
