At this time, Yang Jicai didn't know that Wang Guangyu had strengthened the security force around him to a battalion despite Yang Zhen's objections. He thought that he, the eldest brother and the top commander who always disliked being surrounded by a large number of security personnel, would be surrounded by such people. He didn't bring too many escort troops back this time, and he thought that if he came south to the paddock, it would be too big for him to bring at most one guard platoon with him based on his habit.
The current situation in Heshiketeng Banner is unclear. How many Japanese and puppet troops there are? Whether the Japanese and puppet troops that were defeated by us are still in Heshiketeng Banner. These Japanese and puppet troops who are stranded in Heshiketeng Banner are still unknown. , whether the safety of No. 1 going south to the paddock will be endangered, is something Yang Jicai is very worried about. Once No. 1 is in danger, it will not only be related to the safety of the leader of the Anti-League No. 1, but also his family ties. He How can you not be in a hurry.
After receiving the order, he was a little in a hurry. At this time, Yang Jicai was galloping towards the Keshiketeng Banner. He was currently sitting in the best jeep selected by Wang Guangyu and was reading carefully a telegram sent from the headquarters. Yang Zhen frowned slightly. Although he was on the march, the situation at the headquarters was constantly relayed through the communication vehicle.
The telegram in his hand that made him frown was jointly sent from Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who are currently in charge of the overall situation at the headquarters. Although the content of the telegram looks like an ordinary enemy situation report, the actual content is It made Yang Zhen very uncomfortable.
At almost the same time as he and Wang Guangyu were talking, multiple batches of Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared on the lower reaches of the Nen River, the Nen River in Fuyu, the intersection of the Songhua River, and the main stream of the Songhua River below Fuyu, and the aviation forces stationed in various places were dispatched urgently. , with the cooperation of anti-aircraft artillery, although three of them were shot down, not a single Japanese pilot was captured.
Because Guo Bingxun deliberately wanted to capture the Japanese pilots in order to obtain intelligence, the aviation force was consciously merciful and was not blown up by the volley. However, its pilots did not have no chance to parachute. These three Japanese reconnaissance planes did not have a pilot. After parachuting, all the Japanese aircrew on the reconnaissance aircraft perished together with their own aircraft.
Another Japanese reconnaissance plane, which was surrounded by three P-39 fighter jets and found that it could neither escape nor resist after being surrounded, simply rushed directly into the Songhua River. It was obvious that the pilots of these Japanese reconnaissance planes had been strictly trained. Under the orders, no one is allowed to be captured.
At the same time, after receiving reports from Tao Jingfei and Yang Jingyu, who is currently in charge of the work of the Nenjiang Military Region, the Songhua River and the Nenjiang River produced the largest flood peaks in recent times almost at the same time. According to the current estimates of the water conservancy technicians in the military region, these flood peaks will be Within two days, they will meet at the Sancha River in Fuyu.
Although the intelligence agencies and aviation forces tried their best and even used a spy who was deeply lurking in the Kwantung Army headquarters and had not been used before, they still could not detect the deployment of such a large number of bombers by the Japanese army. specific location.
Where can nearly 200 bombers be hidden? The fuel and ammunition required for bombing, as well as the crew's rest and recuperation, and the runways for aircraft takeoff and landing. It is impossible to hide them all. At present, except for the East Japan-controlled area, Outside of the Changbai Mountains, most of them are the most densely populated areas in Northeast China. It is impossible for such a large number of aircraft to be hidden without being discovered.
Even if the Japanese army deploys these aircraft dispersedly and uses different airports as base tactics, with so many aircraft, including the fighter jets required for escort, the airports required will not be just a few simple field airports. Even if the current aircraft
, taking off and landing only requires hard enough ground.
But now the entire Northeast is in the rainy season, and the rain this year is obviously heavy. At this time, a large number of aircraft, including relatively heavy bombers, still need a permanent airport. This permanent runway made of reinforced concrete is not that
It is difficult to find a field airport built on solid flat ground or grass, but at least the target is quite obvious and relatively easy to find.
But so far, apart from knowing that the Japanese army has mobilized a large number of so-called heavy bombers to the Northeast, I know nothing about where these Japanese aircraft are gathered so far and what is the real intention of the Japanese army.
, but we can only guess based on it.
However, the current intelligence is barely good news. Japanese reconnaissance planes have appeared in the Nenjiang River Basin, which is not the main battlefield, and in the Sancha River area where the fighting has ended. They shouldn't be sightseeing. There are so many Japanese troops.
The reconnaissance plane probably wanted to observe the water situation. After all, except for the upper reaches of the Songhua River, the entire basin of the Nen River has become a base for the Anti-Japanese War.
Even if the Japanese army has a comprehensive grasp of the hydrology of the two rivers, if they want to get first-hand information, they still have to go to the front lines to observe. The most important thing is that the position of the Hongfeng thing is not fixed. It changes with the rainfall.
The river is always flowing depending on its volume and the trend of the river. If the Japanese army wants to grasp first-hand information, they still have to observe it.
It’s just that this is a precursor to the Japanese army’s actions, or is it a confusing method adopted by the Japanese army. It’s still impossible to tell. After all, this is only the first action of the Japanese army, and it can’t prove anything. If the same batch of reconnaissance methods were used, the Japanese army would adopt it one or two more times.
, we can basically conclude.
But being passively beaten is not Yang Zhen's style. He also has bombers with a range that is almost the same as the so-called heavy bombers of the Japanese army and a larger bomb load. It is not that he does not have the ability to pre-emptively strike. If he can find out the location of the airport where these Japanese aircraft are located,
The exact location is fully capable of completely wiping them out on the ground.
After careful consideration, Yang Zhen still wanted to take a preemptive strike and completely eliminate these Japanese troops at the airport. Once these bombers were dispatched, no matter how many planes he dispatched to intercept, there would still be considerable variables. As long as one bomber broke through
Blockade will bring fatal danger.
A so-called Japanese Type 97 heavy bomber has a maximum bomb load of thousands of kilograms. Coupled with the fuel carried by the aircraft itself, the whole thing is a super bomb. As long as an aircraft breaks through the air blockade, it will carry as many bombs as possible.
Throwing it towards the river embankment or directly hitting the Songhua River dam may bring serious consequences.
It’s not like Japanese pilots have never done this kind of thing before. When Japanese bombers bombed Harbin Airport in the early spring, a Japanese Type 98 light bomber crashed into the airport after being injured during the air battle and unable to return.
If the navigation station hadn't responded quickly to a Soviet-made 37mm anti-aircraft gun deployed at the airport at that time, and quickly fired ten rounds, four of them accurately hit the aircraft, knocking the plane into the air and exploding, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
For those Japanese pilots who have been carried away by the so-called bushido spirit, who are prone to do anything and are proud of their allegiance to the emperor by dying gloriously, they cannot be judged by the standards of pilots in other countries. Therefore, in Yang Zhen's view, these lunatics must be completely eliminated. Eliminating it on the ground and nipping the danger in the bud is the best and most correct choice.
Therefore, after receiving the information about the mobilization of Japanese troops from the intelligence department, the aviation force immediately dispatched a large number of light and heavy bombers to conduct multiple raids on the identified airports in Xinjing, Siping Street, Jilin, and Tongliao. Although not many Japanese aircraft were destroyed in these bombings, these airports have basically lost their use value after the bombing.
In particular, the three airports in Xinjing were completely unusable because they were too close to the front line. However, at these airports, the aviation force failed to find the main target of the bombing. The heavy bombers mobilized by the Japanese army destroyed them. Most of them are reconnaissance aircraft, artillery correction aircraft, and light bombers and fighters with short combat radius.
Just before Yang Zhen set off for Linxi, in order to carry out Yang Zhen's order to eliminate the threat on the ground, the aviation force even dispatched thirty-six Il-4 medium bombers with the longest range of the Anti-Japanese Alliance at one time. The long-distance raid at night bombed Dongta Airport in Fengtian, the largest Japanese aviation base in the entire Northeast, as well as Beiling and other Kwantung Army military airports around Shenyang.
However, except for the destruction of some Japanese aircraft at Dongta Airport, nothing was found at several other airports. A large amount of gasoline and bombs were consumed, and two Il-4 bombers were lost and one lost its way and crashed when returning. But it only blew up the airport's runway and command and control tower.
However, these operations only destroyed some of the Japanese army's permanent airports. At best, they prevented the Japanese army from using these airports as front-line airports and supply airports. However, they continued to destroy the Japanese heavy bombers that might pose the greatest threat to the base area. Not a single hair was damaged.
In other words, the aviation force's action to alert the enemy did not play the role that he and the headquarters hoped to play. Without destroying these heavy bombers of the Japanese army, for the Anti-Alliance, it means that the Japanese army can still attack the enemy at any time. Open Pandora's box in your hand and release the devil inside.
It's just that these Japanese aircraft are hidden somewhere, and their exact location cannot be found. No matter how many preemptive measures are used, what's the use? Repeated attacks are in vain, and the efforts are in vain. Not only do they not see any results, but they are A lot of aviation gasoline and bombs that were originally precious to the Anti-Japanese Alliance were wasted.
For Yang Zhen, these attacks are like you stretching out your hand and punching your opponent in the chest, but the opponent shrinks his neck and retracts his head, leaving you nowhere to exert your strength, even Hiding so that you can never find where they are.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen looked at the undulating mountains on both sides of the road outside the car at night, but his mind was on hundreds of kilometers away. The Japanese army's approach of keeping you invisible made him dislike it. Yang Zhen, who passively accepted the challenge, was extremely annoyed by you.
Yang Zhen hates this feeling of knowing that the enemy is plotting against you, but you can't find the traces and methods of his plot against you. What's even more annoying is that this kind of helpless waiting, before the enemy draws his sword, is his consistent style. , completely nipping all dangers in the bud is his favorite feeling. However, for him now, he is exactly in the situation he dislikes the most.
