"Baga!" Mizuno Nobu cursed loudly, then looked down at the military map for a while, then turned to look at the Japanese Brigade Chief of Staff Takaoka Si next to him, and asked in a sophisticated tone: "Takaoka-kun, you
What do you have in mind?"
Takaokaji said in a deep voice: "Such a powerful, solid and complete mountain fortress cannot be conquered by infantry alone. We also need the Imperial Air Corps to continue to carry out devastating bombings." Mizuno Shin waved his hand: "If the Empire
The aviation regiment's bombing can effectively destroy this mountain fortress, but it will no longer be like this!
According to the reconnaissance information, the defense level of this mountain fortress is very high. The main fort on the top of the mountain is enough to withstand all bombings, not to mention there are a large number of permanent defenses inside the mountain! Although it is not yet known whether the giant cannon in the mountain fortress is already equipped.
Combat power, but a large number of artillery scattered throughout the fortress are enough to cause devastating damage to surrounding ground troops.
It is simply wishful thinking to capture this mountain fortress through the front. Even if our entire brigade is shattered, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake this mountain fortress!" After a long confrontation with the Shandong Group Army, the Japanese will naturally not be idle and are always passing through.
By conducting reconnaissance and infiltration in various ways, we still have some understanding of the dynamics of the adjacent Shandong Group Army defense zone.
Takaokaji asked with some confusion: "In that case, why did Mizuno-kun send two squadrons of imperial soldiers to attack? Wouldn't this be a waste of death?" Faced with the question, Mizuno Nobu did not feel any guilt at all.
He said easily: "If you don't try it, how will you know that the inference is correct? What's more, there are so many military orders. Even if we know that there is a dead end, don't we just carry out the combat orders from the headquarters? So the two squadrons of imperial soldiers
The sacrifice is not without value!" "..."
Takaokaji was at a loss for words, and after a while he asked: "From Mizuno-kun's tone, you must have another plan, right?" Mizuno pointed at the military map and said: "It is definitely not feasible to launch a frontal attack from the plains.
We can only take a detour through this hilly area and go deep into the hinterland, and we may still have a chance to succeed in a sneak attack!"
Takaokaji's eyes narrowed and he said: "Isn't this too risky? Our enemy is very good at defense, how could he leave such a big loophole?" "Do we have a better way now?" Mizuno Nobu sneered.
: "As the old Chinese saying goes, a wise man will always make a mistake, and a fool will always gain something. The imperial special forces have detected a very secret road.
As long as we maintain enough pressure from the front and send an elite force to covertly attack Chencang, there is still a chance!" "Hey, that's all we can do now!" After hearing Mizuno Nobu's overall plan, Takaokaji nodded lightly,
From the moment he received the order to attack, he knew that he would face an extremely brutal battle, and that the entire brigade might even become cannon fodder.
Now that Mizuno Nobu has come up with such a plan, Takaokaji has new expectations. "Why is there no movement from the Japs? Is it because the thunder is loud and the rain is small again?" After waiting for a long time, the Japs troops were far away.
Hiding in the village and building fortifications, there was no sign of continuing to launch a frontal attack. Zhang Zhenshu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Xie Kangquan was calm and asked with a smile: "Is this strange? If it were you, knowing that you would die in vain, would you still let the troops attack the fortress head-on? It can only be said that the Japanese commander's head is not burned out.
!" "Hey, I'm not in a hurry!"
Zhang Zhenshu grinned, and then said: "We finally built this fortress, and the fortress's cannon hasn't fired a few shots so far! It's been sitting there like this without any use, I feel like it's a waste of resources!"
"This is called subduing the enemy without fighting. What's the waste? If it weren't for the deterrent of this fortress, the little devil would have treated us like weak persimmons!"
Zhang Zhenshu nodded and said: "What Master said is absolutely true. I think back then when our weapons and equipment were at a loss, we were bombed and suffered heavy casualties before we even saw the Japs. How could we dare to easily attack the Japs soldiers who were defending the city fortress? Now it's the other way around.
It is normal for the Japanese to be afraid of our artillery fire."
"It's good to know that the commander-in-chief has worked hard to arm us and repeatedly emphasized that firepower is the priority. This is to reduce casualties as much as possible and give our brothers a chance to see the day of victory! Therefore, we must not fight like before.
In human sea tactics, you must have enough patience and strategic vision, and use your brain more when fighting!"
After a pause, Xie Kangquan waved his hand and said: "Since there is probably no fighting here, I won't delay here anymore. The Japanese are fighting fiercely over there in Zichuan, so I have to go and have a look! I leave this place to you!" After that, he also
Regardless of the dissatisfied Zhang Zhenshu, Xie Kangquan turned around and left.
There are many mountains in Boshan County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with the existence of Waizui Mountain Fortress, the Japanese did not dare to attack from the front. After a brief exchange of fire, they stopped. Therefore, Mizuno, the leader of the Japanese Brigade,
Xin then cleverly played the trick of "building plank roads in the open and concealing them in Chen Cang", and sent an elite team of hundreds of people to sneak attack the fortress by taking a detour through the mountain path.
It's just that these little devils are simply overthinking. Although the mountainous area is vast and densely wooded, it can hide its whereabouts very well, but why didn't Xie Kangquan guard against the Japanese taking a detour through the mountain paths? Not long after this Japanese troop entered the mountainous area through a detour,
His whereabouts were discovered by the sentry of the Shandong Army.
Then, then nothing! In the direction of Yutai County and Jinxiang County, since the third detachment had already evacuated in advance, the Japanese troops successfully occupied these two cities that had become ruins. They captured the two county towns without any blood.
This fact really made the little devils a little excited. Although these were two worthless ruins, they could still be regarded as "recovering lost territory"!
However, this is of little use. It can only provide an incision and a fulcrum for the forward attack! The fighting in Qidong County and Zichuan County was particularly fierce. The Japanese mobilized a large number of troops under the cover of aircraft and tanks.
Round after round of strong attacks were launched.
The defenders of the Shandong Group Army relied on their extremely solid defense system and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for several days, causing serious casualties to the Japanese army with their blood and lives! After three days of bloody battle with the Japanese army, in view of the changes in the situation, the flying plan that had been temporarily shelved was once again
Put it on the agenda.
At three o'clock in the morning on August 14, 80 bombers and 120 fighter jets of the Flying Tigers of the Shandong Group Army took off one after another. The troops divided into two paths and attacked Zhangzhuang Airport and Baitawa Airport. After many days of reconnaissance, the details of the Japanese apron were found.
The location and number of combat aircraft were basically clear. Jiang Qiang, who had been holding back for many days, finally took out his sword and prepared to jump over the tower and kill them. He wanted to teach the Japanese Third Flying Group, which was becoming increasingly rampant, a lesson.
This time, the Flying Tigers of the Shandong Army did not take a detour to avoid the Japanese radar station, but directly divided their forces into two groups to attack the two Japanese airports. "Bagaya Road! No, Chinese planes are launching a large-scale air attack!"
More than ten minutes after takeoff, the Jaap ground radar station in Pen County finally detected the signal. It was so frightened that it hurriedly called for warning. "Woo~woo~woo~" soon followed, including Changqing County and other places.
The air defense alarm sounded. "Nani? What's going on?" "No, air strike, hurry up, get into the gun position immediately!"
The shrill siren rang through the sky, which was particularly harsh in the silent night. The Japanese soldiers woke up one after another. "You little devils, I will let you taste the taste of being bombed today!" "Brothers, prepare to light a fire.
!" The Shandong Army agents who had ambushed Zhangzhuang Airport and Baitawa Airport in advance seemed extremely excited. While continuing to use the radio to guide the Flying Tigers fighter planes, they poured gasoline into the dug pits.
"Baga Ya Road! Fire immediately!" "Boom boom boom!" Although the number of Japanese anti-aircraft guns is far less than that of the Shandong Army, they have also deployed a lot of them. After receiving the air raid warning, they were distributed in Penang County and Penang County.
The Japanese air defense troops from Baoding Prefecture and other places entered their positions immediately.
After bursts of buzzing sounds were heard above the ground, the ground searchlights were turned on to shine into the sky, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns opened fire wildly. A stream of flames shot up into the sky, drawing bright trajectories. A few seconds later, shells were fired one after another in mid-air.
It exploded, crackling like fried beans, and exploded into a hail of bullets.
However, under the dark lights and using primitive delay fuses, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire was nothing more than anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes, with no accuracy whatsoever. The Flying Tigers ignored the Japanese ground artillery fire and charged in as fast as possible. In just ten seconds,
It took just a few seconds to break through the Japanese air defense position. "Light the fire!" Waiting until 3:20 in the morning, the Shandong Army agent near Zhangjiazhuang Airport lit a match, gently threw it into the gas and oil pit, and it ignited with a bang.
Raging fire.
Soon a big burning arrow was formed, pointing directly at the Japs apron. Due to the tight security of the Japs airport, Shandong Army agents were unable to penetrate into the core area to find out the specific situation for a long time, let alone directly target the Japs.
Carry out sabotage at the airport.
However, as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. After unremitting efforts, the Shandong Army Special Agent Action Team finally figured out the general situation and found a positioning method:
In a wild area 10 kilometers away from the Japanese landing pad, first use the radio to conduct signal navigation. When the time is almost up, use a burning arrow to point to the Japanese landing. "Baga Ya Road! Get up quickly! The Chinese plane is coming!"
What should we do?" "Take off into the air to meet the enemy?"
After receiving the air raid warning, the two Japanese airfields seemed extremely chaotic. The Japanese pilots woke up one after another. For a moment, they didn't know whether to take off immediately or brake quietly so as not to expose the target. Since the Flying Tigers had not been aware of the surrounding Japanese
The Japanese have developed a habit of bombing occupied towns and cities, and have developed a habit of thinking and taking chances.
In addition, this was a night air raid, and the sky was so dark that it was completely impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and there was no condition for launching a large-scale air battle. The airport had blackout lights to avoid bombing, and it was also completely dark. Therefore, taking off to meet the enemy at this time was not only difficult to operate.
It's very big, and it might be self-defeating and expose the specific location of the hangar, which could lead to disaster.
However, the opportunity was fleeting. After hesitating for a while, the Flying Tigers, flying at full speed, finally arrived at the Zhangjiazhuang Airport. "The shells are still burning, let's try blasting one!"
After seeing the burning arrows on the ground, the bombers continued to fly forward for about 10 kilometers and began to drop bombs! Chirp, chirp, chirp, a string of shadows in the dark sky fell from the sky with a sharp scream! About 20 seconds later, they dropped sulfur
After the bomb hit the ground and exploded, it instantly ignited a raging fire, illuminating a large area.
It's just that the range of the Japanese Succession Act is too large, and the burning of sulfur bombs will produce a lot of thick smoke. The bomber group at an altitude of 3,000 meters still cannot see the ground targets clearly. "Brothers, forget it! Drop the bombs with all your strength immediately, and don't leave any bombs behind."
!" "Blow up these idiots!" "Do it!"
Since it was impossible to pinpoint the enemy's stopping position, they could only carry out blind bombings on a large scale at this time. As for the specific effect, they could only rely on faith! Then one after another heavy aerial bombs landed and exploded, and earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another.
, groups of dazzling flames shot up into the sky, and the extremely powerful explosion power set off a death storm.
40 bombers loaded with bombs, with a total bomb load of more than 30 tons. This is no joke. With such high-intensity carpet bombing, the blind cat will always encounter a dead mouse. Not only the Japanese airport runway and airport buildings were blown up in large areas
The explosion collapsed, and the Japanese defenders guarding the airport were blown to pieces. Several Japanese hangars near the foot of the mountain were not spared in the end.
Dozens of aerial bombs hit the Japanese planes one after another, destroying dozens of Japanese planes, triggering a series of explosions. The torrential sea of flames lit up the entire airport and illuminated most of the sky. "Haha, the hard work was not in vain. Return immediately.
!" "Well done, I finally got my revenge!" "Finish the fight and call it a day, retreat quickly!"
Listening to the loud commotion on the ground, the Flying Tigers pilots could tell what was going on. Even if they did not blow up all the Japanese planes, they had definitely hit the jackpot. After the bombs were dropped, the Shandong military aircraft group did not delay much.
Even after turning around and flying in the direction of Zhaoyuan, a few minutes later, another group of Flying Tigers bombers finally arrived in the sky near the Japanese Baitawa Airport.
The same recipe and the same taste. After seeing the arrows on the ground clearly pointing, the bomber group went straight to the Japanese airport 10 kilometers away and started bombing without explanation!
Dozens of tons of bombs were thrown wildly regardless of cost. The explosive power and destructive power produced can be imagined. In just two or three minutes, Baitawa Airport was blown into a sea of flames. Houses, runways, barracks and other buildings were destroyed
Severely destroyed, the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and an unknown number of Japanese aircraft parked on the ground were blown up.
"Haha, well done! It's not in vain that we lurked for so long!" "Finally, the flying plan has been successfully completed!" "After watching the fireworks, brothers, it's time for us to withdraw!" "Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time!" etc.
Their own bombers turned the Japanese airport into a sea of flames. The Shandong Army agents became satisfied, packed up their belongings, and evacuated the scene.
Baoding Japanese Army Headquarters. After receiving the air defense warning, Tada Shun, Okabe Naosaburo, Kawabe Shozo, Terauchi Juichi, Kobayashi Asaburo and other old Japanese soldiers got up one after another and ran to the headquarters war room in panic.
As soon as Tada Shun rushed into the war room, he loudly asked Kobayashi Asaburo who had arrived earlier: "Kobayashi-kun, how is the situation now? Where are the planes of the Shandong Group Army? Have you figured out their combat intentions?"
Asaburo Kobayashi quickly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the latest information from the radar station, the Chinese aircraft group is divided into two groups. They have passed through Penang County and are heading towards Zhangzhuang Airport at full speed.
Another Chinese aircraft fleet has now entered the sky above Tai'an County and is flying to Baitawa Airport at full speed. It is obvious that the bombing targets of the Chinese aircraft fleet are the two airports of Zhangzhuang and Baitawa in the empire. This time, China has dispatched more than 200 combat aircraft.
.”
"Baga!" Tada Shun's face turned ugly. Although he had expected this and prepared as much defense as possible, the sudden attack still made him feel extremely uneasy. After a pause, Tada Jun turned around
He looked at Kinoshita Toshiro and said, "Kinoshita-kun, have you contacted Zhangzhuang Airport and Baitawa Airport? How are you going to respond?"
Kinoshita Toshiro replied in a deep voice: "After the radar station discovered the incoming enemy plane, it called the headquarters to report the situation as soon as possible. The headquarters immediately called the two airports, but the phone lines were cut off by Chinese agents, so we could only
Switch to radio communication. The two airports have now received the information, but the time is a little rushed. It is relatively difficult to take off at night. It takes at least fifteen minutes to take off a squadron of fighters.
According to the fastest speed of China's fleet of escort fighters, it can reach the two airports in up to 10 minutes! Even if all the runways are opened now, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Tada Shun widened his eyes and said: "Doesn't that mean that our empire
The air force didn’t even have time to react when it took off to meet the enemy? Didn’t you already have an air strike plan in place?”
Kinoshita said with a grimace: "The two airports are still too close to the radar station. From the time the Chinese aircraft fleet is detected to the time the Chinese aircraft fleet arrives at the airport, it only takes 27 minutes at most. Excluding the necessary communication time, the airport can have 22 minutes
Minutes is a good time. If the Chinese aircraft fleet takes a detour to avoid the radar station, the reaction time given to us will be even shorter! The enemy air attack tonight was too sudden, and the pilots still need a certain amount of reaction time. However, the Chinese agents also cut off the airport's access to the outside world.
phone line,..."
In this regard, Kinoshita Toshi was really helpless. Although there was a radar station, the airport was still too far forward, making it difficult to implement timely and effective countermeasures! "Okay!" Tada Shun frowned and couldn't bear to listen.
He waved his hand and interrupted: "Kinoshita-kun, you mean that now you can only be beaten passively?" Kinoshita said with a blushing face: "In order to deal with night air raids, we have expanded the airport's warning range and the hangar location is extremely secretive. Night air raids
It is difficult to deal with it. It is difficult for the same enemy to accurately find the location of the hangar within a range of dozens of square kilometers. Logically speaking, the chance of hitting the hangar is not high!
At this time, if you rashly take off to fight, not only will you not be able to form a combat effectiveness, but you will also have a high chance of exposing the location of the hangar!" "..."
Tada Jun heard a lot of dark things. This was not a countermeasure, it was simply passive defense and gambling. Boom boom boom, not long after, explosions continued to come from the direction of Zhangzhuang Airport, even though it was far away.
20 kilometers away, but the sound of the explosion is still clear to the ears. "Baga!" "No! I'm afraid the loss is not small this time!" Tada Shun, Kinoshita Satoshi and others' faces became extremely gloomy. Listening to this sound, they knew that the Chinese aircraft had dropped the target.
The bombs are at least 500 kilograms. Once this thing falls in the hangar, it will be a devastating disaster!
"Report, Zhangzhuang Airport lost 16 fighter jets and 14 bombers, with more than 500 casualties. The ground runway and airport facilities suffered serious damage, which will be difficult to recover in a short time!" "Report, Baitawa Airport lost 12 fighter jets, bombers
10 aircraft,..." After waiting for an hour, the battle damage reports of the two airports were sent to the Japanese headquarters. "Nani, a total of 52 aircraft were lost. Is the loss so serious? Doesn't it mean that there are only a few aircraft left in total?
Has it reached 100?"
Kinoshita Satoshi's heart kept twitching. He brought more than 300 combat aircraft to participate in the battle in high spirits. He originally wanted to show off his power and make a lot of achievements. However, after only 20 days of fighting, he lost his money.
There are more than 200 aircraft, and the damage rate has reached an astonishing two-thirds. "Bagaya Road!"
Shun Tada was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. The Army Aviation side was originally at a disadvantage, and now it has suffered heavy losses. If it continues a few more times, I'm afraid they will all be doomed. Although the Navy still has a very powerful aviation force,
It is obvious that there are great obstacles in dispatching and commanding. It is difficult to use one's hands and fingers like an arm, and the effect of participating in the war will definitely be greatly reduced. "..."
Naosaburo Okabe, Shozo Kawabe, Hisashi Terauchi and other old Japanese soldiers also looked very ugly, but what could they do? They didn’t have the ability to fly a plane to retrieve the place! "Well done! According to the feedback from frontline intelligence personnel, this night
The attack was very successful, and both Japanese airports were severely damaged." After receiving confirmation of the results, Jiang Qiang immediately called Li Jinglin to give verbal praise. Li Jinglin replied happily: "This is not the fault of the commander-in-chief.
Fang, thanks also to the spy brothers who sneaked into the Japanese-occupied areas, otherwise this fool would not be able to find his direction."
"Don't be humble, too modest is equal to pride!" Jiang Qiang laughed and cursed, and then said murderously: "The Japanese Lu Hang is no longer a concern. What needs to be done now is to pursue the victory and kill him while he is sick. Then.
It will be daybreak in an hour. When the time comes, all the bombers will be dispatched to continue bombing me. The Japanese radar station, heavy artillery brigade, airport, and ground troops must not be spared!
If you need intelligence support, just call Huang Hong. He will provide you with any information on military targets you want! Anyway, just give it your best, and don't be afraid of wasting bombs and gasoline!" "Great, I don't have to feel cowardly anymore!
"
Li Jinglin responded with excitement: "Yes! Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely blow up the little Japs until they cry like ghosts and howl like wolves, and send them back to their hometown!" Jiang Qiang gave a friendly reminder: "The Japs at HNA will definitely not stand idly by. This needs to be done.
Be careful and pay attention to the early warning information from the radar station at any time!" "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for reminding us, we will pay attention!" Li Jinglin responded happily, hung up the phone, and urgently summoned his senior generals for a meeting to discuss.
