Due to the heavy rainstorm that swept through the entire Baoqing, Muling, and Mudanjiang areas a few days ago. [.Com text] The reason for the rare heavy rain in early summer in Northeast Manchuria. In order to avoid the use of soil runways or lawn runways
Several field airports were destroyed by heavy rains. Last year, Jiamusi Airport was hit by heavy rains, and a large number of aircraft were washed into the Songhua River by flash floods caused by the rain. The scene of heavy losses was repeated again.
After receiving notification from the meteorological department, the Kwantung Army Aviation Group re-arranged the aviation teams deployed at several field airports early. This changed from the method of dispersing the aviation forces to field airports as much as possible after the attack on Jiamusi Airport last year.
All the aircraft deployed for the war were concentrated at Mudanjiang Hailang Airport, which had a concrete runway built as a permanent airport, and Muling's Bamiantong. After these two Japanese troops were lost at Jiamusi Airport, they spread throughout the Northeast Manchuria region.
Among the two largest permanent military airports.
The Japanese Air Force did this, firstly, to ensure that after the heavy rain, the air force would not be washed away by the heavy rain at the airport and runway, which would affect the number of aviation operations. Second, the Japanese Army found that by dispersing the air force to field airports, the losses in the event of an attack could be reduced to
It is the lowest, but it undoubtedly affects the coordinated operations of various aviation teams.
The most critical thing is that the guard force that was already barely available was dispersed. Moreover, with the number of transport trucks obviously insufficient, the fleet was too dispersed, which also caused certain troubles for the replenishment of supplies, especially oil bombs.
Compared with Tuanshanzi Field Airport and other airports in Mudanjiang, which are both located in Muling, as well as Bolixingshu Airport, which was temporarily abandoned because it was too close to the war zone. Muling Bamiantong Airport and Mudanjiang Hailang Airport, plus
The abandoned Jiamusi Jiangbei Airport was a large permanent airport built by the Kwantung Army for the war against the Soviet Union and specially used to station heavy bombers.
Not only are all the runways and shelters constructed of concrete, but the capacity of these airports is also huge. Each airport is built to accommodate more than a hundred aircraft. The most important thing is that the transportation is convenient, just in Binsui.
Being near the railway line, it is also very convenient to replenish supplies.
Therefore, after receiving the heavy rain warning, the Kwantung Army Flying Group regrouped the aircraft that were originally scattered at several other field airports that were still using earthen runways to these two airports. They also expanded the airport guard force, especially
Bamiantong Airport suddenly increased to include a brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the puppet Manchukuo army.
However, after the main force of the 29th Division was transferred to rescue the 6th Division, due to insufficient troops, a squadron of guard troops from a brigade here was transferred away to replace the transferred main force of the 29th Division and take on the responsibility.
The garrison tasks of various strategic points in Muling.
Although almost all aviation troops transferred to frontline operations are now concentrated in Muling Bamiantong Airport and Mudanjiang Hailang Airport, after all the aircraft transferred to the war have been concentrated in these two airports, the overall guard strength has not been strengthened.
, on the contrary, because the war situation was unfavorable and too many troops were deployed, it became weaker than before.
On June 7th, the weather in Muling was quite good. After the heavy rainfall a few days ago finally passed, the sky in Muling was spotless and blue, making people feel very comfortable. For airplanes,
It’s even more excellent weather.
While Southern Manchuria and China Guan Nei have either very hot or hot flash climates, summer in Northern Manchuria is not so hot. The relatively cool climate always makes people feel very suitable. Especially for those who grow in a marine climate.
For Japanese people, this place is much more comfortable than inside China Pass.
Therefore, since they were transferred to Muleng Bamiantong Airport to participate in the war, the officers and soldiers of several teams of the Kwantung Army Army Aviation Corps stationed here were not only dispatched too frequently due to the tense battle on the front line, which made the pilots and ground staff feel a little tired,
Life is pretty comfortable.
Of course, if the teams that were originally stationed at the Tuanshanzi Field Airport in southern Muleng, because the dirt runway of the field airport collapsed due to heavy rains in the past few days, were transferred to the Palmiantong Airport as the permanent airport, which has concrete runways.
If they could go back as soon as possible and restore their cramped residences to their original spaciousness, the lives of these army aviation officers and soldiers would be more comfortable.
At noon, just after a group of heavy bombers returned from the air raid on Jiamusi, the ground crew once again seized the time to get busy. They refueled these heavy bombers and transported new bombs so that they could prepare for the afternoon air raid after lunch.
Prepare. The flight crew picked up the sumptuous lunch that had been prepared and started eating.
Although the replenishment of fuel and bombs has been difficult due to the interruption of the Binsui Railway, there is still no shortage of living materials for these pilots. Because of the tense war situation and too frequent dispatches, the Kwantung Army, in order to ensure the health of these aviation troops,
All supplies were transported by air using transport planes. Therefore, they were not affected by the railway interruption and were still plentiful.
The lunch prepared by the ground crew for these pilots at noon today is sticky rice cooked with red beans, miso soup, Japanese grilled chicken, pork stewed with burdock and vinegar with shredded radish, yokan and other side dishes, as well as the new sour drinks and
A rare tropical fruit in Manchuria. This standard can only be enjoyed by at least the rank of colonel or above in an army field division. In combat situations, even the rank of division commander may not be able to eat it.
The pilots started eating, but the base guard soldiers could only look at the sumptuous lunch of the pilots on the side and drool while they ate coarse rice mixed with barley, kimchi, miso soup, prunes, canned food for two people, these inferior foods
.In fact, these security forces should not complain. At this level, they still rely on the station. In addition, they can get some of the supplies flown in for the aviation force.
On the front line, due to the paralysis of the Binsui Railway, except for the 14th Division on the western line not far from Harbin and the 11th Division in the Hutou Fortress, which has a large reserve of military supplies, the remaining divisions have encountered supply problems.
We arrived in considerable straits. In addition to the 63rd Regiment of the 10th Division, which was still starving, the supplies of the 29th and 8th Divisions were all in difficulty.
In order to clear out the banditry, the main combat area had already completed the settlement and consolidation of households, and there was almost no human habitation within dozens of miles. Even if these Japanese divisions wanted to recruit troops on the spot, they had no place to recruit troops. The food level had already plummeted.
I don’t know how much it has dropped compared to when I was first transferred to the Kwantung Army. Many people are holding hard ones that can knock out teeth. They don’t know that the so-called grain essence produced in the year of the monkey is military biscuits.
But for these guard squadrons, they were unaware of the predicament on the frontier. Just as these guard troops drawn from the 29th Division were indignant as they watched the pilots and aviation troops having a luxurious lunch, outside the airport, a group of people suddenly came.
The extremely heavily guarded convoy interrupted them and they only dared to curse in their hearts.
Looking at the group of cars headed by a Type 93 high-end six-wheeled special vehicle used by senior Japanese military officers in the field and the heavily guarded truck group behind it covered with canvas, after carefully checking the other party's ID, he looked at the clear words on the ID.
Showing the name of the Kwantung Army's Special Intelligence Department, the guard squadron did not dare to hesitate and let the opponent into the airport.
After seeing Major General Toshiro Kawabe who was personally stationed at the Hachimitsu Airport and the commander of the Kwantung Army's 7th Flying Regiment. The man who led the team, who wore the rank of major, paid a standard military salute and cautiously greeted the major general.
Report, several secret transport planes transporting a special bomb will arrive in Muling from Harbin."
He came here this time hoping that General Hebian could provide several of the best heavy bombers in accordance with the orders of the Kwantung Army headquarters to carry out deep bombing of the place. However, due to the special nature of this mission, all pilots for this operation were sent from the base camp.
Transfer it here, and it will arrive with the transport plane later. The pilots from Muling Base will not be used.
Originally, Major General Toshiro Kawabe was very suspicious of this major who claimed to be the senior staff officer of the Special Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army. However, this guy spoke a fluent and authentic Jingshan accent and was extremely familiar with Jingshan's characters and features. He soon made his hometown
Just as the Major General in Jingshan dispelled his doubts, he immediately felt a strong sense of nostalgia.
The major told Major General Toshiro Kawabe who was curious about the mysterious bomb he was talking about mysteriously that the reason why this kind of bomb was not transmitted by telegram was because they were worried that the code would be deciphered by the other party, so they had to carry it out personally. Moreover, this new type of special
The bomb is extremely powerful and is the latest special smoke bomb developed by the Xiye Special School affiliated with the base camp.
Just as the major's separate report to the major general was about to end, several transport planes without any markings on their bodies arrived at Bamiantong Airport. One of the planes reported to the ground using the new code that the major brought. These were transported from Harbin.
The transport plane carrying the special bomb is now requesting an immediate landing.
In the past few days, Type 100 transport aircraft and Type 97 transport aircraft have flown to Babiantong Airport almost every day, transporting supplies from Harbin or Xinjing or airdropping front-line troops. Moreover, among the transport aircraft flying in, the leader of the team
They were also the Empire's new 100-type transport aircraft. Coupled with the report from the major officer, no one in the entire Hachimantong Airport doubted the identity of these aircraft as being sent by the opponent.
In fact, among the dozen or so transport aircraft dispatched by Yang Zhen this time, only two were Japanese-made Hyaku-type transport aircraft. The others were American-made C-47 and Li-2. But the Hyaku-type transport aircraft itself was purchased in Japan as a C-47 transport aircraft.
It is a replica. Except for the engine, it is no different from the original American product. And when the Japanese spent 90,000 US dollars to purchase the right to imitate, they purchased several aircraft at the same time in accordance with the requirements of the Americans.
Except for one of these American-made aircraft that remains in the country for research by the aircraft manufacturer, they are all currently assigned to the Kwantung Army Aviation Group and used as special aircraft for high-ranking officials. This kind of U.S.-made aircraft is much smaller than the original Type 97 transport aircraft of the Kwantung Army.
It can be said that the transport aircraft modified from bombers are much more comfortable. Major General Toshiro Kawabe has flown on them himself, so he did not feel any surprise at the arrival of such a batch of American transport aircraft.
