The deputy chief of staff suddenly realized that the enemy wanted to carry out an air attack on the airport before destroying the runway. Knowing that the situation was urgent, the deputy chief of staff immediately ordered the pilots and ground staff to quickly pull out the aircraft parked in the hangar.
, prepare for takeoff; at the same time, order all other personnel on the airport to clear the runway.
Seeing the anxious look on the deputy chief of staff's face, the Japanese officers and soldiers knew that the situation was urgent and took action one after another. For a while, the airport was in chaos.
After the deputy chief of staff assigned the task, he kept looking at his watch. As an air force commander, he knew the geography of Malaysia very well. According to the radar station’s report, the enemy’s air force had flown over the Myanmar-Malaysia border, and there would be at most 15 more
You can fly here in minutes.
He was extremely anxious, because in such a short period of time, it was almost impossible to pull out the aircraft parked in the hangar for refueling and bombing. Not only that, in such a short period of time, the runway might not be cleared.
He had a premonition that the airport was finished. In order to avoid becoming a victim of enemy bombing, he ordered the staff on duty to conduct command at the scene, saying that he had other things to deal with, then got into the car and hurriedly drove away from the airport.
The Japanese officers and soldiers who were busy at the airport knew that enemy planes would come to bomb, but they did not know when the enemy planes would arrive. They were busy nervously, hoping to get the fighter jets into the air to fight before the enemy planes arrived.
.However, when the work in their hands was not half completed, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky.
The Japanese officers and soldiers felt desperate and ran into the airport amidst the shrill sirens at the airport.
What was bombed later was the bomber group of Weidmann's 15th Air Force. At that time, the 15th Air Force dispatched 16 B29 Flying Fortress bombers. Since it was only known in advance that the Japanese fighter jets could take off for combat, no fighter jets were sent to escort them.
.
Lu Yancheng's 15th Air Force often fought against the Japanese air force. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was extremely weak and caused very little damage to the 15th Air Force, including very few bombers being shot down and a large number of aircrews dying in combat.
The officers and soldiers of the 15th Air Force hated the Japanese air force and were very afraid of it. They had already suppressed their energy and retaliated against the retreat of the Japanese army.
The Seventeenth Air Force received a small sum of gold, rice dollars, sent by Lu Yancheng, and it was quickly distributed among the officers and soldiers. Now, both Michel and the officers and soldiers of the Seventeenth Air Force are willing to continue
Cooperating with Mi Jundi is a very risky thing and only a fool would be willing to do it with both fame and fortune.
The 71st Regiment penetrated the front of the coalition forces and launched an attack. Our main attack was only on the British troops.
Xu Dalong ordered the troops of the Yuanzheng Army to seize a mountain ridge on the right side of the Yunnan Army and organize defense. I followed the British troops to make a reserve team in the front. According to changes in the battlefield situation, I rescued the Yunnan Army and the Yuanzheng Army, or captured
The fighter plane retreated and counterattacked.
The commander of the Yunnan Army immediately organized his troops, seized a mountainous area on the spot, and organized defense; at the same time, he notified the British Army and the Yuanzheng Expeditionary Army of the news.
The coalition troops were surrounded at the foot of several mountains and the situation was very critical. Xu Dalong hurriedly contacted the British Governor-General in Myanmar and asked me to contact the Air Force for subsequent reinforcements.
We controlled the plane and flew towards the Japanese airport. We immediately ended the dive bombing before landing at the airport. It felt so good to retreat and bomb a completely undefended enemy airport. The crew of the bomber
The personnel hit every target under the airport without scruples. We calmly and aggressively flew under the airport repeatedly and threw all the aerial bombs we brought, so that there was no longer a broken building in the Japanese airport.
Before that, he just walked away.
Since there were no Yuanzheng Army and Yunnan Army troops in the rear to block the Japanese army, the British officers and soldiers were very lax in their vigilance. Even Colonel Xu Dalong was not on low alert for Japanese sneak attacks. The British officers and soldiers were resting at the foot of a hillside.
No defensive positions were even constructed, so when the Japanese army suddenly appeared, they were caught off guard.
That day, the coalition troops were marching, and the Yunnan Army behind them suddenly encountered a large group of Japanese troops. The leading troops of the Yunnan Army immediately started a fierce battle with the Japanese troops.
Before learning about the situation of the coalition forces, Shan Fengwen commanded some troops to confront the coalition forces from the front and ordered the 71st Regiment of the 18th Division to directly outflank the coalition forces.
The Japanese air force in Malaysia was destroyed. The Japanese air force was very angry and made a slight protest to Fengwen Yamayama, saying that it was in the Army's interest to protect the air force airport facilities, which resulted in the Tenth Air Force suffering minor losses. The lawsuit even hit the Japanese army.
The small base camp put little pressure on Shan Fengwen. The pressure from the Air Force in the past was still minimal for Shan Fengwen.
Xu Dalong hurriedly called for troops from the Yuanzheng Army and the Yunnan Army to come to the rescue. However, at this time, the Yunnan Army and the Yuanzheng Army were also fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and they were unable to escape.
Yamayama Tomofumi and Kawamoto Division Commander were also very depressed before hearing the news. Air support is our main reliance in fighting the enemy. Now that the battle is not over, the air force can no longer count on it. We are now more and more aware of this
Kawamoto became more and more confident in destroying Lu Yancheng in the coming battle.
Unfortunately, Michelle didn't buy it, and immediately gave it up on the pretext that the Air Force still had to shoulder other combat missions.
Since the guerrillas encountered many enemy bombings in the future, we still felt this deeply. The British Army, Yunnan Army and Expeditionary Force troops suffered from enemy bombings from then on.
The liaison team of the Seventeenth Air Force took the initiative to contact Lu Yancheng and said that the Seventeenth Air Force was not fully prepared and could not send troops to participate in the war at any time at the request of the American Army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We reported the results of the battle to our superiors and received awards from them. Newspapers and magazines in the United States withdrew special reports, and newspapers and magazines in all the Allied countries also withdrew
Reprinted. The Seventeenth Air Force has a small reputation.
Li Qiulin and Zhang Guangliang received a telegram from the American Army, asking us to go to rescue the coalition forces later. Li Qiulin and others had made such a bad plan. At this time, our position was right in front of the Japanese army, even if the American Army had not arrived.
After receiving the order, we were not prepared to rescue the coalition forces. At this moment, we had only secretly approached the Japanese army. In order to increase casualties as much as possible, we prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army at night to relieve the surrounded coalition forces.
Seeing that the hope of the air force has been lost, Shan Fengwen can only rely on the troops at hand to deal with the enemy's ground troops. At this time, I still have a sense of luck. I am very vague about using the air force at a low cost. China's air force
It is very powerful. When the coalition forces are fighting in Malaysia, the air force may not be willing to participate in the war later.
The Japanese airport was completely destroyed, and all combat aircraft were blown into scrap.
Since the enemy's air force can raid the Kuala Lumpur airport, the enemy's air force can also bomb the Japanese army. In previous battles, the reason why Shan Fengwen was able to succeed was because of the help of the air force. Now Kuala Lumpur's
If the airport is destroyed and we want to redeploy it, it is possible in a short period of time.
During the battle, what we were most worried about was not the bombing by enemy planes. Now that the threat from the Japanese air force has been eliminated, our pressure has been slightly reduced. The commanders sent telegrams to congratulate Lu Yancheng and sent telegrams to their superiors.
, please take credit for the Weidmann 15th Air Force.
The coalition forces finally stabilized their position, and the situation on the battlefield became somewhat tense. However, at this time, the coalition forces were still surrounded by the Japanese army, and the situation was still grim.
Of course, I did this unselfishly. I hoped that the troops of the Yuanzheng Army and the Yunnan Army would fight head-on with the Japanese army first, and when both sides were exhausted from the fight, the British troops would then move out to take advantage.
Colonel Xu Dalong was sleeping. Before he was awakened, he quickly organized his troops to defend on the spot. Unfortunately, the terrain we occupied was relatively unfavorable, and we were able to attack the Japanese attack from a low position. Although we suffered heavy losses, we finally managed to hold on to the top of the hill and defend ourselves.
Has it collapsed?
The American Army sent a telegram to Bob, asking me to urge Lu Yan to form the 15th Air Force to support the coalition forces.
With a sense of luck, Shan Fengwen commanded the troops to continue to fight against the enemy coalition forces coming from Yangon City. Of course, I am a timid and careful person. During the march of the Japanese army, I organized air defense drills several times in order to
Be prepared in case the enemy air force joins the battle and reduce the losses of the Japanese army as much as possible.
Xu Dalong has very little insight, but unfortunately I still know San Feng Wen thoroughly. San Feng Wen is known as the "Malay Tiger". I am an extremely ignorant military commander. I once led the Japanese army to annihilate the British army stationed in Malaysia.
, extremely servile to the army. I am very unfamiliar with the mountains and rivers of Malaysia.
The airport was damaged to such an extent that even if it was disturbed, it would be possible to recover within a few months. That means that the Japanese army in Malaysia will not be able to obtain it for a long time.
Cooperation with the Air Force.
Michelle and the officers and soldiers of the 15th Air Force were also very happy. The Fourth Route Army destroyed a Japanese airport. It cannot be said that it completely annihilated the Japanese air force in Malaysia. For the 17th Air Force, it was a big deal.
A very small contribution.
The commander of the Yunnan Army sent scouts to the rear to conduct reconnaissance, and soon discovered that there was a small group of Japanese troops in front of the large group of Japanese troops.
Lu Yan agreed without hesitation, and had previously sent eight groups of bombers to launch a violent bombing campaign against the Japanese troops who were fighting the coalition forces.
Fengwen Yamayama quickly contacted the Navy, hoping to dispatch aircraft carrier-based aircraft to cooperate with the Army. However, my proposal was immediately approved by the Navy. At this time, the battle at Midway Island had not yet begun.
The Japanese navy has lost several aircraft carriers. The navy's combat power is sufficient. How can it take care of the Japanese army in Malaysia?
Whether the Japanese army had air cover or not, they were bombed and suffered heavy casualties, which slightly reduced the pressure on the coalition forces.
After receiving the briefing from Wei Xiaoyong and the Japanese Air Force, the Mi Army breathed a sigh of relief and reported the bad news to all the commanders and fighters of the guerrilla corps, including the British, Yuanzheng and Yunnan Army troops who were later reinforced.
When the officers and soldiers heard the bad news, they all breathed a small sigh of relief.
There was a raging fire burning under the Japanese airport, which could be seen from a long distance from the air. Even with the navigator, no pilot could see it clearly.
As for the enemy dispatching its air force to attack the Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia, that is difficult to understand. This is not because the Chinese air force hopes to eliminate the threat from the Japanese air force in Malaysia, so it is willing to use its air force to participate in the battle. I have no doubts that the enemy
The Fang's air force will provide air support for the mere guerrillas.
The British, Yunnan and Fruit Army troops from Burma were commanded by British Colonel Xu Dalong. To protect the British troops, the Yunnan Army troops were at the back of the march, followed by the Yuanzheng Army troops.
Next are the British troops.
Before Long Yingyuan got the news, he was worried that his troops would be eaten by the Japanese army, so he quickly contacted Mi Jundi.
