In Zhoushan, since Zhuang Houzhong, who is in charge of sea and air defense affairs along the coast of southern Zhejiang, raised the alert level from level three to level one, the streets in the small county town of Zhoushan that were not lively immediately fell silent. At the same time, , groups of heavily armed cadets wearing rock-colored camouflage uniforms poured out from each barracks and rushed to their respective fighting positions nearby. In just a quarter of an hour, two air defense positions and twenty-nine shore defenses were formed. The forts were all activated. Twin 70mm-caliber anti-aircraft guns and 240mm-caliber coastal defense guns stretched out to the sky and sea with camouflage nets. Behind these coastal defense batteries, more than two thousand infantrymen were loaded with live ammunition. Standing ready to prevent possible landing operations by the Japanese army,
To the west of Zhoushan, coastal cities such as Ningbo also quickly entered wartime. In the cities, people on the streets, workers in factories, children in schools, as well as hospitals and other enterprises and institutions, residents, and government workers Under the command of the police, they began to enter the nearby air defense facilities in an orderly manner; in the countryside, farmers in the fields picked up hoes and began to return home, and fishing boats at sea began to return. With the assistance of the Self-Defense Forces in various regions, the people staying in the village They entered the air-raid shelters in each village immediately. When they entered the air-raid shelters in advance, the heavily armed cadets and various types of air defense tanks covered with camouflage nets drove in the opposite direction and began to enter their respective preset positions.
With the Zhoushan Islands as the boundary, among the vast expanse of blue waves from east to west, submarines and torpedo boats were chopping the waves and sailing eastward. Radio waves were passing through the air. Echoing this was a A fighter jet roared and flew toward the southeast, causing people below to look up and sigh: "Are we going to fight again?"
"The little devil is determined not to let us live this year well." Wang Hai, who was dressed as a pilot in the aviation building of Ningbo Airport, said to several of his generals,
"Whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life." Chief of Staff Miao Taishan suddenly said this in a strange way,
Everyone was stunned. Wang Hai was the first to react and laughed loudly and said: "Taishan, you are preparing to be Cixi."
Only then did the others remember the origin of this sentence. Liu Xuefeng clenched his hands into fists and made a crackling sound with his knuckles. He said domineeringly: "I like to hear these words. It's disrespectful to come back and forth. I don't want you to let that go." After we have had a good year, we will give him a big gift, Commander, let us give him another 'sink'."
Wang Hai waved his hand: "The Japanese are not fools. 'Sink It' cannot be copied. We will wait until Qiu Zhan comes back."
Because the student aviation unit performing a routine reconnaissance mission failed to obtain specific information about the incoming Japanese fleet, Wang Hai sent Qiu Zhan, captain of the 202nd Battalion of the 201st Fighter Division, out. Qiu Zhan had been out for half an hour. If the Japanese If people can't keep him, they should be able to bring back detailed information soon.
Qiu Zhan did not disappoint Wang Hai. A quarter of an hour later, he returned successfully, and then after the technical officer processed it, he handed Wang Hai a roll of film.
A slide projector was used to project the film, and everyone watched quietly for a while. Miao Taishan said with a worried look on his face: "With seven aircraft carriers, the Japanese are afraid that they are not just trying to avenge their previous shame."
"The Japanese just sank two of their ships and captured one in the Green Island waters. Why are there still seven more?" Liu Xuefeng also frowned.
Luo Chunfu was also puzzled: "There is no troop transport ship in such a huge fleet. Why did the Japanese come?"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. It doesn't matter what the little devils do, we just need to ensure that they will fall as much as they come." Wang Hai said calmly, and then ordered the entire army to execute the No. 2 battle plan.
After everyone was ordered, Major General Chang Baolin of the airport security force, Luo Chunfu, commander of the 202 Long Range Aviation Division, and Guan Jianping, commander of the 203 Medium Range Aviation Division, walked out hand in hand. The former would be responsible for activating the airport air defense warning, and the latter two would lead the division's jurisdiction. Flying Fortress, Tiger Shark, and Chinese Sturgeon leave Ningbo Airport for local air defense operations. Pure ground-to-sea attack aircraft such as bombers will basically leave the combat airspace to avoid unnecessary losses.
Twenty minutes later, when only Wang Hai and Miao Taishan were left in the headquarters, suddenly, communications staff officer Fu Guosheng reported: "The Zhoushan radar station reported that two enemy planes were sighted in the southeast direction."
"Reconnaissance plane." Miao Taishan said,
Wang Hai's eyes flashed coldly, and he picked up the phone and called Liu Xuefeng: "Xiao Liu, Song Qiaoan and the others discovered two Japanese fighter planes. Shoot them down for me. Tell the brothers, no matter what method is used, do not let the Japanese reconnaissance planes Cross the line."
"yes."
With the help of radar stations, the Xuebing Army could always detect the enemy first and intercept the reconnaissance aircraft sent by the combined fleet. The Japanese army dispatched two reconnaissance aircraft for the first time, but they were intercepted by four Whitebacks before they even reached the airspace of the last battle. Head-on, the Japanese Air Force tried their best to escape the fate of being destroyed.
When two planes failed, Tsukahara 243 sent out five planes at once.
So what if there were five planes? Liu Xuefeng immediately dispatched a brigade to intercept them. As a result, these five fighter planes were still trapped before they could fly to the last battle airspace. The two sides engaged in a fierce chase, and three of the five Japanese reconnaissance planes were destroyed. The remaining intact aircraft saw that the situation was not right and could only return sadly.
Six reconnaissance planes were lost in a row, not to mention the value of the lost fighter planes and aviation forces. The turmoil in the morale of the troops caused by this was unbearable for Tsukahara. After asking Yamamoto for instructions, he simply sent out a squadron of zero reconnaissance aircraft. carried out a reconnaissance mission, vowing to uncover the garrison's veil and see what they had done in air defense.
At this time, the Japanese fleet was already very close to Zhoushan, so the Japanese fighter plane was captured by Song Qiaoan and others just after it took off. He reported the new enemy situation to Wang Hai. Wang Hai was very happy and said to Miao Taishan: "What do you mean, little Japanese? Get ready to play." Just a fuel tactic?"
Miao Taishan thought for a while and said, "Maybe he is afraid of our special artillery unit and wants to conduct a clear reconnaissance first."
Wang Hai smiled coldly: "Then we won't let them get what they want." Then he looked at his watch: "Old Xue's support force is coming soon. Hehe, two hundred Baiji dolphins should be enough for the little devil to drink a pot."
Liu Xuefeng led the entire division to attack in this wave. When the thirty-six Whitebacks pounced toward the incoming Japanese aircraft cluster, the Japanese commander who led the team was also smart. Knowing that he was losing, he only had a face-to-face encounter and ordered everyone to return.
The Baiji had an advantage over the Zero in terms of speed. Liu Xuefeng led his troops to chase them for about a hundred kilometers and shot down two Japanese planes. Then he came back in dismay and reported to Wang Hai: "The little Japanese fighter has learned a lot. "
Nine fighter planes were lost successively, including three main battle Zeros that exploded, but no information was obtained at all. This made Tsukahara 243 feel very embarrassed. The little devil was so angry that he had no choice but to He pinched his nose and asked Yamamoto in humiliation to change the combat plan. He suggested launching an air strike first, hoping that the Xuebing Army would expose the position of the ground air defense forces.
