At about five o'clock in the morning on November 10th, just after dawn, the two Japanese soldiers on duty at Xiaokeng Post in Taipei County, Taiwan were listless. Suddenly, one of them heard the roar of an engine. He immediately woke up and said, "Strange. It sounds like the sound of a plane." He said to himself, looked towards the place where the sound came from, and then screamed: "Fighter plane, fighter plane, Chinese fighter plane."
The companion next to him immediately stood up straight, shouting: "Where, where, what, what." Then he looked in the direction of his finger, "Ah, really, report to the squadron leader quickly, the Chinese people won't want it." Air raid us."
A silver-white fighter plane flew straight from the northwest, then made a semicircle and turned to the northeast.
Five minutes later, when the top commander in the military camp behind the post, a captain, received the report and came out to check, although the engine sound of the fighter plane could still be heard, the figure of the fighter plane had disappeared in the endless light that was still radiating from the east.
"Are you sure it's a Chinese fighter plane?" the captain asked the two sentries.
The two sentries were not sure. Upon seeing this, the captain asked them to continue on duty and returned to the barracks. The matter of the Guards Division entering Taiwan to aid Taiwan was regarded as highly confidential by Xiao Lin. These Japanese soldiers were too low-level and had no way of knowing. Cai Liansen also learned about it from Guangcun Yixiong by chance, and told his old father Cai Yinghao. Cai Yinghao regarded it as a capital to show off, and then he was discovered by Guo Dai and others.
The man piloting the Baiji was a captain of the 1st Air Division named Hong Guangyi.
When Tie Linfei, Xue Changkong and others were formulating their air strike plan, they designated the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, about 150 kilometers away from the coast of Taipei, as the site for the air strike. Fuzhou is only about 500 kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands in a straight line. At this distance, the Baiji Dolphin It can fly there in an hour. After careful calculations, they determined that the Guards Division's reinforcement fleet would arrive in the sea area between 7 and 8 am. To be on the safe side, starting at 4 am, every twenty minutes , Fuzhou Airport will release a white-fin dolphin to conduct a reconnaissance mission. Hong Guangyi will be responsible for the first reconnaissance mission, and his route is to approach the coast of Taipei first, and then turn towards the Diaoyu Islands from there to prevent the possibility of missing the incoming reinforcements fleet.
The co-pilot of this Baiji had a transmitter temporarily installed next to it. After passing over the coast of Taipei, Hong Guang said to Zhang Liulian, communications staff officer of the Air Force Command, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat: "Commander Zhang, you can send electricity to the headquarters. Well, no enemy ship group was found."
"Okay." Zhang Liulian responded, turned on the transmitter, and skillfully sent out a series of radio waves.
A few seconds later, the "Capsize" operation headquarters located in the aviation building of Fuzhou Airport received the message. The message was quickly deciphered and presented to Tie Linfei. Tie Linfei glanced at it and asked Deputy Commander Zhuang Hou. Zhong said: "Let others implement the second plan."
Zhuang Houzhong agreed, picked up the phone and called the pilot lounge below, telling Xue Changkong who was sitting there: The next few reconnaissance planes will be executed according to the second plan.
Ten minutes later, another Baiji took off into the sky, and then flew directly towards the Diaoyu Islands. Twenty minutes later, another Baiji took off, following the flight direction of the previous fighter plane, and soon disappeared into the blue sky. in white clouds,
The cruising distance of the Baiji Dolphin can reach 1,500 kilometers, far exceeding that of contemporary reconnaissance aircraft. This is one of the reasons why Ouyang Yun is confident in this air raid. As long as the exact time of the Guards Division's departure to sea is known in advance, Then, the student army air force will be able to obtain the specific location of the incoming fleet through continuous reconnaissance, and then launch an air strike, which is basically a sure thing.
For this "capsize" operation, Tielin Fei dispatched almost all the Baijis and Aerial Fortresses. Among them, the Baiji fighter jets alone reached a scale of forty-eight in four brigades. In addition, the prototype of the Baiji that was manufactured recently was The five modified "Iron Harrier" bombers and three "Alligator" torpedo planes will also be put into the battlefield. In addition to the few that are undergoing overhaul, the Flying Fortress will also participate, with a total of thirty-four.
The Xuebing Army has a total of five military airports in Fujian and Guangdong, of which Baiyunshan and Fuzhou Airports are the largest. The Xuebing Army Air Force has grown to the scale it is today. Many of the former soldiers have become squadron leaders and group captains. These once served in Comrades who have trained together in a division or even a squadron and have fought for many years have been on separate sides since they were promoted to squadron leader, group leader and even division commander. Now that they are reunited for this operation, everyone's mood is very high.
"Third brother, we were not able to participate in 'Sink It'. This time, we have to give it our best performance."
"My goal is not high, three ships, ten thousand tons."
"This is not high, you kid, don't brag too hard."
Those who are discussing how to blow up and sink several ships are all pilots of the Sky Fortress. The bomb load of the Sky Fortress is about ten tons. They really have the capital to be so awesome.
"Lao Zuo, I heard that you have shot down two Japanese fighter planes."
"Well, try to fight for three this time, hehe, then you will become a trump card."
"Damn it, I used to fly Hawker, but now I fly Baiji Dolphin, and everything has to start from scratch."
"Take your time. I walked through it step by step like this. You can't rush this kind of thing."
Those who talk like this are naturally fighter pilots. The bomber pilots are discussing how many enemy ships they want to sink. They are discussing how many enemy planes they want to shoot down. This old Zuo is a newly promoted captain of the 3rd Air Force Division. His name is His name is Zuo Anzhao. Zuo Anzhao once participated in the "Sink It" operation. At that time, he flew a Hawker bomber. But this time, he will fly a Baiji to escort the bomber force.
After Xue Changkong accumulated military exploits and was promoted to deputy commander of the Air Force, his deputy Wang Hai took over his position and became the commander of the First Air Division. Seeing that everyone seemed unwilling to calm down, he coughed twice and shouted: "You are all very energetic. If you have this skill, why not think about how to fly later, Zuo Anzhao."
"arrive."
"This time, the little devil is escorted by the aircraft carrier Canglong, and there are at least about fifty fighter planes. We only have forty-eight fighter planes, so we can't be careless."
"yes."
…
While his subordinates were having a heated discussion, Xue Changkong kept his eyes closed and rested. After more than an hour, when everyone was getting tired, he opened his eyes and said to Wang Hai: "Wang Hai, let everyone sing a song." Bar."
"ah."
"Just sing "Returning from Target Shooting". I hope that this 'overturning' operation is just a tactical exercise for us. I don't hope that when I come back here to gather the troops, some people will not be able to return."
