Compared with the complicated story of the attack on Bamiantong Airport. [.Com text] The story of the attack on Mudanjiang Hailang Airport was much simpler. At noon, the light bomber squadron 16 and the heavy bomber 90 were dispatched to bomb the opponent in depth.
Team 8, with a total of twenty-two planes, had just returned. Less than ten minutes after landing, a group of unidentified planes suddenly flew over the airport.
Compared to Major General Toshiro Kawabe who was almost seamlessly fooled by the opponent and still managed to get in touch with his superiors, the commander of Hailang Airport, Major General Tian Fudan of the 8th Flying Group of the Kwantung Army, simply thought that this was the case.
It was a friendly aircraft that transferred over from there, or a newly reinforced aircraft from the base camp.
Because Major General Tian Fudeng is similar to all his colleagues in at least one point of view. They also believe that the other side does not have a single aircraft. The Kwantung Army has always been the master of the Manchurian sky. In this land, not only the land, the sea,
Even the jurisdiction over the sky belongs to the Kwantung Army.
He never thought that the unidentified aircraft that suddenly flew over his airport could be the enemy's Major General Tian Fudeng. He mistook the unidentified single-engine aircraft in the sky for the Army Aviation Type 98 light bombers. As for the transfer,
Those aircraft with twin engines and twin tail booms were imaginatively regarded by him as HNA's Type 96 bombers.
When the opponent's plane had begun to dive and entered the bombing sequence. Even the dropped bombs had already landed on the airport, he was still cursing those damn superiors, and did not give advance notice when the naval aviation force was about to transfer. He vowed to report to
The superiors accuse these pilots of having the audacity to take such dangerous actions regardless of the safety of the aircraft, regardless of whether they are in the Army or the Navy.
He was equally unprepared. Even the man who saw the opponent dropping a bomb relied on his agility to hide in a concealment next to the command post and escaped. However, he was shot all over by machine guns fired by the opponent's single-engine aircraft that swooped down.
The brittle deputy Tian was even more wary than the good-looking Major General Toshiro Kawabe who still wanted to get in touch with his superiors.
The opponent's bombs have already fallen into the neatly arranged fleet of aircraft on the ground, setting the planes on the ground on fire one by one. He still stubbornly believed that those planes were naval aviation coming to support, and vowed to sue these planes to the Tokyo base camp.
There is no distinction between the enemy and the navy. These bastards who throw bombs will all be court-martialed.
After personally interrogating the survivors at the two airports, Namada Shigeichi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Everyone, including the always arrogant staff officers of the Fifth Army, were shocked by the opponent's seemingly unconstrained thinking and creativity.
If the opponent at Mudanjiang Hailang Airport adopted a normal follow-up attack, the attack on Bamiantong Airport could be described as an extraordinary tactic.
After being attacked one after another last year, the Kwantung Army aviation force has significantly strengthened its alert on airports. Various airports, especially the periphery of Yeongbei Airport, not only cleared out a large number of unmanned zones, but even deployed a large number of landmines. But they did not expect that,
In addition to being disguised as Japanese troops, the opponent's attack this time came from the sky where they had no defense at all.
More than ten planes were so arrogantly hijacked from under their noses, and the Muling Airport was blown up with bombs personally loaded by the aviation soldiers carried on these planes. This result was very surprising.
While it was difficult for Hatada Juichi to accept it, he also didn't know how to explain it to the Kwantung Army headquarters and base camp.
More than 300 aircraft, plus more than 300 crews, accounted for one-third of the entire fleet of the Kwantung Army Flight Group. They were blown up by others at their own airport using their own aircraft, and ended up under their own eyes.
More than a dozen were stolen from under the bed, would anyone believe this?
In order to cover up this reason that was really hard to see, after hesitating for a long time, Namada Juichi modified the reported materials. After shooting the only surviving guard squadron leader at Muling Airport on the charge of dereliction of duty, he ordered all those with knowledge of the matter to do so.
All personnel were kept strictly confidential and no word was allowed to be leaked. As for the guys from the Muling Gendarmerie who were the first to know about it, he sent them all to the front line. He also personally called the 11th Division to temporarily transform these soldiers into infantry.
The military police picked the most dangerous place.
After completing the work of killing people and silencing them, he modified the incident of the attack on Hachimantori Airport to the same situation as Hailang Airport, which suffered a large number of enemy aviation air attacks. At the same time, he asked Major Hashimoto Ryuichi of the intelligence squadron directly under the army to use the opponent's weapons.
The fact that the equipment contained Polish-made arms was also written down and sent to the Kwantung Army headquarters by Major Hashimoto himself as quickly as possible.
It’s just that there are no planes and railways are blocked. This time, the materials can only be submitted by car and by road. In order to ensure that the materials are delivered to the Kwantung Army headquarters intact under the same unsafe conditions on the roads, it is even more important.
To protect the safety of his illegitimate son, Juichi Hata specially deployed six armored vehicles and a mechanized infantry squadron to protect him.
Namada Juichi, who was troubled by how to report aviation losses, did not know that his opponent had already started planning this surprise attack on the airport as early as last year after he obtained the first batch of transport aircraft.
This plan was basically based on Yang Zhen's improved tactics of the Soviet army's surprise attack on Prague Airport in later generations. However, unlike the Soviet army that aimed to seize the entire Czech Republic, Yang Zhen not only wanted to destroy the entire Japanese airport, but also always wanted to
Just take advantage of the situation and get back as many planes as you want.
It's just that it doesn't have the kind of large-scale aircraft used by the Soviet army in later generations, with a maximum load capacity of 80 tons. It can easily load a main battle tank and armored vehicle onto the plane, and uses a clamshell door, which can be easily loaded and unloaded by personnel and weapons.
The An-22 is a large military transport aircraft. There is no An-22 transport aircraft with a maximum load capacity of 20 tons that can carry a company of paratroopers.
He only has the C-47 transport plane with a maximum load capacity of over one ton, which can carry more than 20 people, and the imitation Li-2 transport aircraft and Bai-type transport aircraft whose performance has been greatly reduced. The maximum load capacity is only six.
The C-47 transport aircraft weighing around 1,000 tons is incomparable to the Soviet army that had a large number of large-tonnage military transport aircraft in later generations.
Moreover, with limited capital on hand, he could only make decisions according to the materials and could not invest all the transport aircraft at once. Yang Zhen finally decided to use the tactic of combining ground assault and transport aircraft landing. It was to use the main force of the reconnaissance battalion to strengthen the overall
Several reconnaissance companies carefully selected by the army formed a detachment and carried out ground penetration attacks to attack the Muleng Bamiantong Airport, which is closest to the battlefield and poses the greatest threat to front-line troops.
The tactics of air landing at Mudanjiang Hailang Airport, which was located deep within the Japanese army, were adopted. Transport planes were used to land in the same way that Japanese aircraft were lost, and part of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region carried by the aircraft was used to seize and destroy the entire airport. In order to complete this task, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the military region was used to complete this task.
The battalion has already conducted long-term response training at Luobei Airport.
However, after receiving the Polish-made bombers transferred from Jiangbei, especially after these bombers completed training and returned to China, Yang Zhen hesitated for a long time and decided to change his tactics. He could not use ready-made weapons and adopt more dangerous ones.
Let's do an airborne assault.
After much thought, Yang Zhen gave up the special operations against Mudanjiang Airport and instead used bombers to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had no knowledge of the fact that he had aviation forces in his hands. He followed the situation and dispatched all bombers to carry bombs against Mudanjiang without escort.
Conduct an air raid on Hailang Airport to save the next part of the transport aircraft.
Although the light and heavy bombers on hand were even the five PZL 37 bombers captured in Lithuania that Jiangbei later transferred to Jiangbei, the two Jiangbei introduced as reference for the development of its own new bomber were torn into pieces and reassembled.
There are only 19 Seoul-type 17 bombers in total.
Among them, there are only nine twin-engine bombers with larger bomb loads. The rest are all light bombers with relatively close bomb loads and range. But Yang Zhen still decided to take a risk and gamble. He was betting on himself.
Whether the confidentiality work was really done, the Japanese army knew nothing about the aviation force they had on hand.
Due to strict confidentiality measures, the Japanese army not only knew nothing about the fighters and bombers Yang Zhen had on hand, but also the transport aircraft. With this premise, Yang Zhen's plan to use the air force on a large scale can be said to be at least
There is a 30% certainty.
In addition, Li Mingrui, who was ordered to infiltrate into the Mulengri-occupied area, ambushed a Japanese army car convoy before the plan was fully launched. Part of the Japanese-style trucks were seized. In addition, the Intelligence Department on hand carefully crafted a plan to facilitate their activities behind enemy lines.
The fake ones can be confused with the real ones, and even real Japanese military intelligence personnel may not be able to distinguish the certificates of the Kwantung Army Special Intelligence Department.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of this plan, Yang Zhen not only deployed four C-46 transport planes and replaced the two Hundred-type transport planes to serve as the insurgents, but also all the pilots on hand who had been fully trained and returned to China.
Sent out.
In order to ensure the success of the operation, external communication between the two airports of the Japanese army was cut off. Even the entire army, which had only been used at night, and even the only electronic warfare aircraft in the world at this time, were sent out to forcibly attack the two airports.
, especially the high-power radio station at Muling Bamiantong Airport that conducts electronic suppression and interferes with its communication with superiors.
After a period of use, the operators on the aircraft have become very skilled in using these jamming devices. In addition, although the Japanese aviation code could not be deciphered before, the Japanese ground-to-air communication frequency was captured from the downed Japanese aircraft.
and call signs for liaison between various components of the Army Aviation Corps.
In addition, this time only a few radio stations at two Japanese airports need to be suppressed, which is much less troublesome than dispatching to suppress all Japanese tactical radio stations on the entire front line the night before. Therefore, this electronic warfare aircraft performed extremely well this time, in addition to
In addition to the extremely high-power radio station used by the Japanese army to communicate with Tokyo, it was still unable to suppress the wireless communication between the two airports.
In order to ensure the success of this raid and break the Japanese air supremacy, Yang Zhen had been planning for a long time. Not only did he send out all the pilots who had completed the formation flight, he also sent out all the bombers on hand that could take off for combat.
Sent out. To use what he said to Guo Bingxun after the operation began: "If this mission fails, our aviation force will probably be injured."
