By June 1942, the war had undergone irreversible changes.
Liu Yimin was holding a press conference. The commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Okamura Yasuji, and Wang Yitang, chairman of the puppet North China Government Affairs Committee, were frightened by Liu Yimin's "Letter to Urge Okamura Yasuji", but the land of North China was already in a state of turmoil.
Early in the morning, the Chinese and US Air Force bomber formations that took off from Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Dalian, Jinzhou, Yingkou, Huludao and other airports flew to the North China Plain and carried out fierce bombings on the Japanese and puppet troops concentrating on Jinpu Road, Pinghan Road and Deshi Road.
Dezhou is a strategic point connecting Shandong, Hebei and Shanxi, and it is also the East Gate prepared by Okamura Yasuji to defend Shandong. If there were no Air Force, this place would be very safe now.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops in Dezhou were already on high alert because they received the order from the North China Front Command to retreat from Peking and the First Army to retreat from Shanxi. Especially at Dezhou Railway Station, the Japanese troops in Tianjin passed through Jinpu Road, the Japanese troops in Peking passed through Pinghan Road, and the Japanese troops in Taiyuan passed through Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road to Jinan, and the Japanese troops in Taiyuan passed through Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road to transport supplies to Jinan.
At 8 a.m., the first train full of arms from Beiping ran overnight, passed by Pinghan Road through Shimen and turned to Deshi Road, and finally drove into Dezhou Railway Station.
The military line entered the station, and the Japanese on the platform were on guard, one post at five steps and one whistle in ten steps.
At this moment, a small black dot appeared in the horizon. Slowly, a small black dot turned into several small black dots, and gradually turned into more than a dozen geese.
The Japanese air defense forces in Texas are air combat forces. They are not literati and poets who admire the wind and the moon. The geese flying from the sky fell into their eyes. In an instant, the air defense alarm sounded, and the Japanese anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft machine gun positions became busy and were about to open fire to intercept them.
The Japanese saw it very accurately. It was not a big geese that came. It was a bomber formation composed of twelve bombers from our aviation team led by Chang Qiankun.
When the Dezhou city was still 10 kilometers away, the bomber formation had already lowered its altitude and began to rush along the Jinpu Railway in a low-altitude scooping attitude.
Such a low altitude made the Japanese high-fire firepower positions deployed to defend north outside Texas City suddenly lost their effect. In the midst of lightning, bombers raiding along the railway line at a low altitude flew over the military train stopping at the Texas Railway Station. Aerial bombs fell accurately on the military train carriages, and rumbling sounds continued.
The doomsday of the Japanese and puppet troops at Texas Railway Station has arrived! The ammunition box on the army that has been hit by the aviation bombs has exploded. The sound of shells and grenade explosions have turned into shrapnel and bullets. The crossfire power of the mortar and heavy machine guns has become much fiercer. Not only are the Japanese troops at the railway station killed by the deadly bullets, but shrapnel has exploded everywhere, and even the box office of the railway station has been barred to the ground.
After bombing the railway station, the bomber formation continued to maintain a low-altitude horizontal scourge, crossing Dezhou city from north to south. After leaving Dezhou City, it began to clear the Japanese blockade strongholds along the railway, and the target was the Japanese artillery tower.
The cloudless sky was clear, and the Japanese army was separated by one or two kilometers, and the brick-wood-structured artillery tower was lonely. The plaster flag floating on it was so conspicuous in the eyes of the bomber pilots that it was impossible to miss it.
Without Japanese fighter interception and harassment, and without ground air defense fire interception and blocking, the bomber pilots were having an air-to-ground attack target shooting competition: see whose bomb can directly hit the target!
A bomb end landed on the roof of a gun tower, and exploded in the astonished eyes of the Japanese sentry. With a loud bang, the upper half of the gun tower collapsed directly. As a result, the bomber flying in the air dropped another bomb, directly exploding the lower half of the gun tower. The artillery tower that once blocked traffic lines was turned into a pile of bricks, and the Japanese army inside enjoyed their happiness. They went back to grandma's house to report in the morning.
The sudden attack made the Japanese and puppet troops in Dezhou panic. The Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery tower a little further away from Dezhou City were rushed to run out after receiving the notice, fearing that the bomb would fall over the head and even the graves. At this time, the wide and deep blockade ditch became the favorite of the Japanese and puppet troops, and it seemed that it would be safe to hide in the blockade ditch.
The bomber formation roared past, exploding the artillery towers all the way, and ignored the Japanese and puppet troops in the blockade ditch, which was obviously clearing the obstacles for the future large forces. When the bomber formation turned around, it was the turn of the Japanese and puppet troops in the blockade ditch that were in trouble. The good luck of these guys was over, and it was their turn to get bombs and bullets.
The air bomb was exploding, and the airborne machine gun was firing. The blockade ditch that blocked our anti-Japanese military and civilians became a graveyard for the Japanese and puppet troops who were hiding inside. Blood was flowing, and the crying sounds of parents were rising one after another, echoing in the blockade ditch.
Chang Qiankun led a bomber formation to hover around the Jinpu Road south of Dezhou several times, destroying the Japanese and puppet troops in this area, blew the blockade ditch into blood, and then returned to Dezhou City to check the results of the first bombing of the Texas Railway Station.
The plane was too fast, and Chang Qiankun led the bomber formation to return to the sky above the Texas Railway Station. The troops of the Japanese and puppet troops who rescued the Texas Railway Station had just arrived and were busy extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the bodies of the Japanese army and the wreckage of the army!
Chang Qiankun was very happy and commanded the formation to attack again.
In a short period of time, Texas Railway Station suffered two blows. No matter how tenacious the Japanese are, they can't withstand such blows?
The aviation bomb was exploding, the airborne machine gun was clattering, and the bullets swept towards the Japanese devils at the Texas Railway Station like a wind, causing a bloody storm.
The railway hub at the intersection of Jinpu Road and Deshi Road, the hub station where the Japanese army in Peking, Tianjin, and Taiyuan Japanese army were completely paralyzed on the morning of June 12.
When Chang Qiankun and his team passed through the railway station, they were intercepted by the Japanese ground air defense firepower.
When the bomber group was rushing towards the station along the railway at a very low altitude, the Japanese air defense forces were in a hurry because the height was too low, so they could only watch the smoke from the ignition of the railway station army and the flames rose in the air. Now the bomb formation bombed the station for the second time. After the bomb dropping, the nose of the plane was heading north, which was equivalent to returning. With the altitude, the Japanese army in Texas began to fire and intercept it desperately.
Dezhou is an important support point for the Japanese and puppet troops to defend, with tight defense. There is a brigade of air defense troops stationed, equipped with nine anti-aircraft cannons and six anti-aircraft machine guns. This air defense brigade has nothing to do on weekdays, because when Liu Yimin was entrenched in Shandong, he did not dispatch an aviation brigade to bomb Dezhou. This means that since the war started, the air defense brigade has never actually fought except for the exercises. This was the emergency order last night. The Japanese soldiers who went to the comfort station all went to the position, staring at the sky in the north, and guarding closely. I didn't expect that they would really wait for the enemy situation. Our bomber formation was like going on a date, very trustworthy, and it was really here. But this was a death date. Our bomber formation was the life-dead of the Japanese air defense brigade.
As soon as the Japanese air defense fired, the air defense position was exposed to the bomber formation. Chang Qiankun was old in war and naturally knew that when air-to-ground attacks, the primary target of attack was the enemy's air defense position to relieve the threat. So, the bomber formation that had already been lifted out of the Japanese air defense fire intercepted, quickly turned in the air, used the same trick again, and rushed down to rush towards the Japanese air defense position in a low-altitude sprinting attitude.
No air force in the world can rely on seizures like our aviation force, and no air force can use the low-altitude plundering tactics so perfectly to protect fighter jets and improve combat effectiveness. So, our bombers are close to the treetops and roofs toward the Japanese air defense firepower positions. The airflow blows the treetops rustling and even breaking. At this height, the Japanese anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns can only lose their function again, waiting to be beaten!
When Chang Qiankun rushed down, through the goggles, he could clearly see the Japanese anti-aircraft gunners, ammunition hands, and commanders waving small flags on the Japanese air defense positions outside Dezhou City.
Chang Qiankun had no idea what was going on in his mind at this moment, only the figure of the Japanese army. When he flew over, he looked directly at him and could clearly see the Japanese panic.
The airborne machine gun spit out the flames and covered the Japanese Japanese air defense positions tightly into the fire net, causing the Japanese to struggle in the fire net.
When Chang Qiankun and his team were lifting up and turning to the second attack on the Japanese air defense positions, the Japanese were still fighting stubbornly. The anti-aircraft guns lost their function because the bomber formation was too low. The Japanese could only continue to pounce on the anti-aircraft machine guns, and operated the anti-aircraft machine guns to fire desperately, trying to shoot down the bomber formation that was coming again.
A heavy bomber was equipped with at least four large-caliber aircraft-borne machine guns. How fierce is the fire? The fire broke out again, and the Japanese air defense positions were flooded in the rain of bullets. It was not until the anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese air defense positions, and the parts of the anti-aircraft machine guns were scattered all over the ground, and the anti-aircraft shells loaded with fuses exploded. Chang Qiankun and others returned to the flight and refueled and prepared to carry out the mission again.
Texas air-to-ground attack operations are just a microcosm.
On the morning of that day, the Chinese and US Air Force bomber formations dispatched a large-scale bombing of enemies in cities such as Tianjin, Baoding, Cangzhou, Dezhou, Hengshui, etc., focusing on attacking the enemies gathered in Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, and Deshi Road. The bomber formations with air supremacy in Northeast China even saved fighter escorts, and used aviation bombs and record machine guns to blow the Japanese up, and never dared to march and transport them in broad daylight.
