In the second half of the Xiaoshan Battle, when the Xuebing Army turned back from the defense and launched an attack on the north bank of the Qiantang River, the senior traitors in the Wang Puppet Government felt that something was wrong. They waited until Rao Guohua took the Madang Fortress, liberated most of Jiangxi, and moved northern Jiangxi and western Zhejiang. There was also the southern Anhui area connected together, which gave them a feeling of horror, because this meant that the Xuebing Army had actually formed a three-sided encirclement of Nanjing. They did not know when the Xuebing Army would launch a general counterattack, and before they It seems that Xuebingjun has fully possessed this ability, so many people feel anxious all day long.
At this point in World War II, any capable military force would dispatch the air force to bomb the enemy's military targets and even civilian facilities before starting a major battle. Three batches of fighter planes from the cadet army flew to Nanjing. This was too easy. People misunderstood, but the Wang Puppet Government did not receive the report of the fierce air battle taking place in the Santai area at all. Wang Jingwei regarded himself as a loyal follower of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and believed that the Republic of China was orthodox. He claimed that the Nanjing government was formed to pursue "the independence of the nation." and self-determination", but what is the real situation? Aren't you a true believer in Sun Yat-sen? The Japanese refuse to let you mention the Three People's Principles. You claim to be orthodox in the Republic of China, so the Japanese add a yellow border to the blue sky and white sun flag and write "Peace* *Saving the nation"; if you want to pursue national independence and self-determination, the Japanese will assign you a bunch of consultants in various departments... All of the above, in fact, from the time the Wang Puppet Nanjing government was established, the meaning of its existence became the Japanese Tools to rule the occupied areas, and in the eyes of the Japanese they are just a bunch of dogs,
The puppet officials under Wang's puppet Nanjing government were already panicking. Now that a large number of fighter planes from the Xuebing Army were flying over Nanjing, some people couldn't help but have other thoughts. They had no way out and could only go one way with Wang Jingwei and other traitors. It's different in the dark. These pseudo mayors, pseudo county magistrates, pseudo regimental leaders and even pseudo commanders began to curb their traitorous behavior when Hu Tong, a student army, launched a vigorous campaign to suppress traitors in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This is why they did not suffer the consequences. The reason why the purge was able to survive, to be precise, from that time on, they were considering their retreat, and now, they had restrained their traitorous behavior, which undoubtedly gave them a certain leeway when choosing a retreat.
Back to business,
Xue Changkong's first three medium-range aviation divisions that entered the battle arrived at the nearest target half an hour later. The Japanese army's two radar stations were located in Nanling and Langxi. Hutong, the intelligence department of the Xuebing Army, was located in the Japanese intelligence department The Japanese army always maintained an overwhelming advantage in the battle. The Japanese army regarded the forward radar coordinate stations as top secret. Little did they know that when these radar stations were first built, the relevant information had been sent to the General Staff of the Xuebing Army. Therefore, now Xue Changkong issued an order to destroy these radar stations. By issuing combat orders from the radar station, the Xuebing Army Air Force attack force can easily find the target.
The Japanese aviation force suffered greatly from radar in its early confrontations with the Xuebing Army Air Force, which prompted them to also begin to pay attention to the relationship between radar and air combat. Many Japanese radar stations densely scattered along the Yangtze River were built in this environment. , and after the Xuebing army advanced to the northern Zhejiang and southern Anhui areas, the importance of the two radar stations in Nanling and Langxi suddenly became highlighted. Radar stations in areas such as Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou, and radar stations located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the south and along the Yangtze River have not only been equipped with the latest high-power radars, but the ground defense forces have also increased to the size of two brigades, including one equipped with equipment imported from Germany. 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun anti-aircraft brigade,
The latest Japanese military radar has a monitoring radius of more than 300 kilometers. Taking the Nanling radar station as an example, this search radius has covered the entire northern Jiangxi region.
The first one to be bombed was the Nanling Radar Station, and what embarrassed the commander of the radar station, Captain Montarō Samura, was that it was not their new radar that first discovered the enemy, but the soldiers of the ground guard force.
At that time, Montaro Samura was lying in front of the radar screen, watching the air battle in the Santai area. The light spots on the radar screen flashed, and new changes appeared after each scan. Because he could not determine what the light spots represented. Samura and his men were in a very anxious mood as one side's fighter planes were attacking. Many of them clenched their fists and kept chanting: "The Imperial Army must win, the Imperial Army must win." As if their slogans could influence the outcome of the battle.
Samura is not so naive, but his nervousness is no less than that of his subordinates shouting slogans. This will be a decisive air battle for air supremacy in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The imperial army can only win but not lose in this battle. He is Silently muttering this sentence in his mind, he suddenly heard the air raid siren. At first, he thought he heard it wrong, because there was no light spot near the center of the scan line on the screen. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. For a moment, hysteria sounded outside. He shouted: "Air strike, Chinese fighter planes." He felt a shiver in his heart and his body was frozen. His ears subconsciously stood up. Sure enough, he heard the roar of the fighter engine. His heart tightened and he shouted loudly: "Quick, immediately Cut off the power, and everyone goes out to disassemble the radar."
Radars, especially high-power radars, require a lot of electronic components, but Japan does not have the production capacity and can only rely on imports. This leads to the high cost of Japanese radars. This is why Ouyang Yun initially agreed to the Osaka Fourth Division after weighing the considerations. The reason why Junichiro Koguro of the regiment smuggled cadet military electronic products was for no other reason than to take the opportunity to ruthlessly kill the Japanese. Since the cost of building radars was so high, the Japanese base camp issued instructions to stipulate that the radar stations should be attacked. The radar should be rescued as much as possible. This is the main reason why Samura made this decision immediately after confirming the air raid warning.
A squadron of Tiger Sharks kept flying at a height of 300 meters above the ground and headed towards the Nanling radar station. After the navigation aircraft found the landmark building of the radar station, the radar antenna began to climb. At this time, they were only a few meters away from the radar station. About 7,000 meters away, the first Japs who discovered the enemy's presence was a superior soldier. The Japs were freely releasing water in a jungle near the radar station. Suddenly, they heard the faint roar of fighter engines. He looked up in confusion and saw the tiger shark. figure,
The distance was too close, and the Xuebingjun logo on the Tiger Shark's fuselage was clearly visible. Moreover, the Tiger Shark was modified from the white-tip dolphin, and the white-tip dolphin left such a deep impression on the Japanese army that the Japanese soldier was so frightened that he walked towards the mountainside with his pants raised. The air defense positions were dashed, shouting alarms at the same time,
The distance of seven thousand meters could be reached in an instant at the speed of a tiger shark. So when Samura and his men rushed out of the room and ran under the radar base, he desperately found that the enemy plane had appeared overhead. He was not stupid enough to understand the situation. He knew that it was impossible to dismantle the radar, so he could only order to enter the air-raid shelter. At the same time, he shouted loudly to his subordinates who stayed in the computer room, hoping that they could rescue the display screen and other equipment.
