Not only did the vital infantry suffer heavy losses, but an accompanying field artillery squadron and eight mountain field guns of the regiment artillery squadron were also blown into the sky. The brigade artillery squad to which the infantry brigade belonged, as well as the heavy machine guns of each machine gun squadron,
There were also heavy losses in this bombing.
By nightfall, only half of the heavy machine gun firepower of the 28th Regiment survived the bombardment. Only one of the four Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft guns of a field anti-aircraft artillery squadron was left.
There is an anti-aircraft machine gun squadron attached to the door. It is better, but there are still three guns left.
However, the packhorse team carrying ammunition was completely lost under the cover of a 100 kilogram bomb. In other words, these three Type 93 Type 13 advanced anti-aircraft machine guns currently do not even have a single round of anti-aircraft machine gun ammunition available for use.
.The three anti-aircraft machine guns have basically become decorations.
Compared with Haolai's remaining heavy machine guns, the artillery suffered the most heavy losses. In addition to one Type 41 mountain cannon and four Type 92 infantry cannons, there were only three Type 37 infantry rapid-fire cannons left.
Two Type 94 90mm mortars. The rest of the artillery in the formation, as well as the attached artillery and tractor horses, were all blown into the sky.
What's even more serious is that the horses carrying the artillery shells were frightened during the bombing. Except for a few pack horses, which were rescued by the artillerymen desperately, most of the others were lost. These five only had to rely on the artillery to risk their lives.
Unload from the draft horse as quickly as possible to survive.
Fortunately, because his marching route was on the far right wing of the division, he was only hit by bombs. Because the distance was too far, the accuracy dropped sharply, and he did not encounter too many rocket launchers. He was only hit by a one-two-two
The rocket launcher fired several volleys at intervals of half an hour.
And because of accuracy, only ordinary anti-personnel explosive rockets were used. Otherwise, with the power of the one-two-two rocket launchers and the firepower killing radius when firing salvos, according to his marching posture, only two salvos per battalion would be enough.
His 28th Regiment was able to be completely wiped out.
During the air raid during the day, Colonel Kiyonao Ichiki suffered a heavy loss and was frightened by the beating. He was afraid that he would not get his general position and medals, but that he would be sent home early due to heavy losses in troops.
Not only did he curb his ambitions, he even became a little overly cautious. Instead of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, he fell into a state of complete indifference.
In fact, there are not many people like him in this world, and there are even more Japanese people who are particular about bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Before he was beaten, his nostrils were pointed in the sky, thinking that I am the best in the world. After receiving a fat beating,
After recognizing the gap between himself and his opponent, he fell into hysterical fear.
Not only is the tail tucked up, but even the head wants to be retracted into the crotch. Therefore, the performance of Ichiki Kiyonao is not too strange. It’s just that the performance of Colonel Ichiki Kiyonao is slightly exaggerated.
That's it. From one extreme to another.
Looking at the mountains under the vast night in the telescope, the illumination bombs falling continuously in the sky and the flashing anti-collision lights of the night bombers. Then he looked at the marching route of the 26th Regiment on his left wing, dropped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance night bombers.
A raging fire caused by napalm bombs.
Knowing that the bombing of the Anti-Japanese Alliance would probably not stop at night, Ichiki Qingnao completely gave up the idea of marching in a group posture. He knew very well that if he continued to march in the same way during the day, he was afraid that his twenty-eight
The regiment will collectively turn into a roast chicken. For this reason, the only way is to make full use of the superb military qualities of the Imperial Army officers and break up the troops as much as possible.
It’s just that he couldn’t understand that even the well-trained Japanese Army Air Forces basically did not conduct ground attacks at night due to bombing accuracy issues. Why did these rubbish from the Anti-Union not only not stop bombing at night?
Instead, they increased the intensity of bombing?
Even if they have ambushed guides on the ground to guide the bombers for bombing, the accuracy of bombing at night is far from being comparable to that during the day. Even with the assistance of flares, it is impossible to really make the visibility at night the same as during the day.
.Isn’t this night bombing an obvious waste of bombs?
In fact, it’s not his fault. Even his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki, who was being bombed at the moment, couldn’t figure it out. Not only did the night bombings of the Anti-Japanese Alliance not stop, it was even more intense than during the day. At night
Carrying out an air strike against an army marching in the field is something that even the most elite Imperial Japanese Air Force in the world cannot do.
Night air strikes are difficult to say about air strikes on a city. Because the city is fixed there, it does not matter whether it is bombing during the day or at night. The target of the city is obvious, and even if it is bombed at night, it will not go too far.
Even if it's slightly off track, it's not too exaggerated.
But on the battlefield, I am afraid that not many armies would do this at night to bomb an army in a hilly area. This is undoubtedly a waste of ammunition and fuel. However, the current Anti-Japanese Alliance not only dispatched bombers, but even the bombing accuracy was almost no better than
Carpet bombing during the day makes a huge difference.
They were chasing the marching 26th Regiment almost all the way to bombard them. At the same time, the bombardment of the 27th Regiment never stopped. Even amidst the explosion of bombs, Lieutenant General Kunizaki Noboru could clearly understand
I heard the thunder-like explosion of artillery shells coming from the marching route of the 27th Regiment.
Is there an enemy ground guide nearby? It doesn't seem like it. When night fell, I had ordered each regiment to send out troops to search the surrounding area several times. But I barely lifted up the ground, and there was nothing.
Discovered. Could it be that the aviation forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were all like the magical monkeys in their Chinese mythology, with a pair of golden eyes that could penetrate the night?
In fact, all the officers and soldiers of the 7th Division, including Kunizaki Noboru, were enjoying the same treatment as they were traveling from Changtu and Kangping to Lishu and Shuangshan. Even because that road was closer to Qiqihar, they suffered even more misfortunes.
None of my colleagues know.
The reason why the Anti-Japanese Alliance did not stop bombing at night, and the accuracy of the bombing was not much less than during the day, was to chase them all the way and bomb. It was not because of anything else, but because the radios they constantly communicated with each other played a role in navigation.
Especially at night, after adjusting the marching sequence, in order to strengthen the control of the troops, the 7th Division's radio signals were much stronger and denser than during the day.
In fact, if their radios were not needed for navigation, I am afraid that Kunisaki Noboru's attempt to use radios to communicate with his troops after entering the battlefield could only be a fantasy. According to previous practice, the Anti-Japanese Alliance's radio interference aircraft would have already intercepted their radios.
The signal was jammed across the entire spectrum. Only because their radio was needed for navigation, their radio was not jammed for the time being.
At this time, the electronic warfare aircraft equipped by the Anti-Japanese Alliance were no longer in a single working situation that could only perform radio interference. Although there were no radars or infrared equipment, and the imported radio direction finders were also quite bulky. However, using two DC
The radio direction finding aircraft modified from three passenger planes can play a role in night navigation and even partial precise positioning.
Originally, Yang Zhen modified these two radio direction finding and navigation aircraft to prepare for bombing the Japanese mainland. However, considering the actual situation of the battlefield, especially the overall depth of the Aruhorqin Banner battlefield is not enough. Night bombing is also needed.
, in order to make up for the intensity of the daytime bombing, and to weaken the combat effectiveness of the 7th Division to the greatest extent in the shortest possible time.
Under Yang Zhen's personal decision, these two machines, like the electronic jammers, were called the most top-secret equipment. They were put into use on the battlefield in advance. First, to ensure that the fire sea tactics he formulated would not be interrupted by night. At the same time,
Conduct certain inspections on the working status of this aircraft.
In order to prepare for the sea of fire tactics, the Anti-Alliance Air Force transferred almost two-thirds of the bombs and three-quarters of the napalm bombs to Linxi, Jiangjun Temple, and Qiqihar Airport. At present, the coagulant and gasoline imported from the United States
, and the steel for bombs were blocked in the Soviet port.
Due to the shortage of raw materials, at least until all this batch of materials is shipped, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has no ability to continue production. At present, every bomb is extremely precious. Therefore, in order to maximize the use of this batch of bombs, Yang Zhen
It took a lot of determination to approve the use of these two secret weapons for future bombings against Japan.
In fact, these two radio signal collecting aircraft are said to be very mysterious, but the principle is quite simple. They are to move the radio monitoring equipment and high-power direction finder used on the ground to the air after certain modifications. As for the modification,
It’s not too difficult. Yagi antennas for radio signal collection are installed under the fuselage and wings.
At the same time, the radio direction finding equipment installed inside the aircraft is used to roughly locate the radio signals appearing on the ground. The intelligence personnel on the aircraft distinguish and distinguish the collected radio signals to find out whether these radio waves are their own.
Either human or Japanese.
Although radio signals on the battlefield are usually quite chaotic, the various signals are extremely complicated and difficult to distinguish in a short time. However, the frequencies of various radio communications used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, especially those used by the Japanese army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance
Radio frequencies are not the same. Although some of them overlap, intercepted radio signals can be distinguished by taking some necessary means.
The radio signals emitted by the Anti-Japanese Alliance are mixed with clear codes that can be used to identify ourselves and the enemy. These clear codes that appear according to certain rules are pieced together like ancient Chinese poems. The radio operator on board can easily distinguish those signals from the ground.
Friendly forces, those signals are from the Japanese army.
The radio stations that appear in clear codes within a certain pattern and can be pieced together into poems are the radio stations of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. On the contrary, they are the radio stations of the Japanese army. Because there is no need to decipher, let alone analyze the content of the intercepted signal, although the signal is relatively confusing,
The signals between ourselves and the enemy can be distinguished in the shortest possible time.
After determining that the intercepted radio signal was friendly or enemy, the British-made high-power radio direction finder and locator imported through the United States re-exported on board, coupled with the newly compiled grid-format map, could determine the source of the signal based on the signal source.
The strength roughly determines the position of the radio station.
At present, Britain has entered the war, the urgent need of the war situation, and the rich technology accumulation from pre-war research. Therefore, it is far superior in advanced electronic equipment such as radar and radio navigation, but it is still grinding and hesitating.
The Americans. The existing radar technology of the Americans was imported from the British.
The similar equipment that Americans can provide is far inferior to that of the British in terms of accuracy and coverage. So Yang Zhen spent a lot of money to import more than ten units made by the British Marconi Company through the Americans, which were originally used to attack the Germans.
Radio direction finders and locators used in bombing. Specially used for bombing, especially night bombing as technical support.
