The victory or defeat of the decisive battle in Changping will not only determine the fate of Xuebingjun or Jicha. It is no exaggeration to say that the meaning behind it will determine whether this historical time and space has really been changed. In other words, Is Ouyang Yun's trip in vain? As a time traveler, no matter what abilities he possesses and what ambitions he has, even General Chen has laid the groundwork for him. However, if he cannot defeat the Japanese army this time, , thereby consolidating the rule of the Xuebing Army in Jicha, then the fate of Jicha, North China, and even China as a whole may become worse than the established history of that time and space.
Looking back at this period of history as a later person, there are two completely different opinions on many of Ouyang Yun's methods at that time. Among them, the more contrasting positions are about how he promoted the Japanese army to speed up military research through his own development, and This risky move was to change the outcome of the war with the Soviet Union and indirectly improve China's status in World War II.
When Ouyang Yun did this, it really gave people the feeling of dancing on a wire rope.
After gaining a tacit understanding with the 57th Army, Ouyang Yun had a phone call with Qin Dechun. The relationship between the 29th Army and the Xuebing Army had undergone a qualitative change after the death of Song Zheyuan, the veteran commander of the 29th Army. A few years later, when history When the book had already made a conclusion about the personnel at that time, Ouyang Yun was very dissatisfied with the paragraph describing Qin Dechun. The conclusion about Qin in the history book was neither praise nor disparagement. Ouyang Yun, one of the main parties involved, believed that: Qin It was a great achievement. If not for Qin's willingness, the 29th Army would not have become a true ally or even a vassal of the Xuebing Army. Then, the decisive battle in Changping would probably have had another outcome.
After the Dingzhou air battle, although on the surface the Japanese army did not admit this defeat, and even the Japanese Navy Headquarters and the Army Ministry were fooled, the battle status report sent to Juichi Terauchi, Seiji Kozuki and other front-line combat officers also announced a great victory. This directly resulted in the misjudgment of two senior Japanese military officials, who decisively dispatched the aviation force that had been hiding for many days.
Because of this, the air force of both sides was still the first to start the decisive battle in Changping.
The Japanese army also has an airport in Rehe, located in Lingyuan. Compared with Chengde Airport, Lingyuan Airport is much smaller. In order to meet the needs of the North China Front, Lingyuan has been basically able to to accommodate its subordinate aviation regiments,
In order to completely eliminate the serious threat of the Xuebing Army and obtain the long-awaited strategic location in North China, the Japanese military headquarters spent a lot of money this time. After the Chengde Airport was bombed and most of the fighter planes were destroyed, it mobilized forces from the country and the Kwantung Army. One hundred and thirty-six fighter planes were stationed at Lingyuan Airport. Among them, the ones transferred from China were relatively advanced models, including the more famous Type 97 fighter jets, namely: Ki-27, manufactured by Nakajima, and Ki -30, that is, Type 97 critical attack machine,
Ouyang Yun's order to Tielinfei was to use fighter planes to completely destroy the Japanese heavy artillery force. Tielinfei led the fighter planes in front and the bombers in the rear. They arrived in the sky above Changping at about 7:40 in the morning. Then, under the fighter planes, Under the cover of the 1st Army, the bomber group of the Xuebing Army quickly found the heavy artillery brigade following the First Army.
On the ground, the Japanese army is making arrangements for the Wangjiawei position. A considerable number of Japanese soldiers, definitely no less than a regiment, are repairing the fortifications at the moment, while soldiers from the Japanese artillery brigade are resting the land in preparation for setting up artillery positions. Tielin When the planes roared past, the Japanese officers and soldiers thought they were fighters from their own side. Therefore, from the brigade commander to the ordinary soldiers, no one was alert to their appearance.
When Tie Linfei witnessed all this, he thought that God was helping me, and was about to order the bombing. Suddenly, Huo Xiutian, the pilot of a "Hawker" III flying at the front on a reconnaissance mission, sent back a message that in the northeast, After discovering the enemy plane, it was estimated that it would take at most ten minutes to arrive at the battlefield. Tielin Fei was startled, and after thinking for a while, he decisively ordered that all fighter jets fly forward to meet the enemy. The bombers continued to carry out the bombing plan, and they were limited to five minutes Drop all the bombs and then return immediately,
The Xuebing Army dispatched a total of sixty-eight bombers this time. Using sixty-eight bombers to deal with a heavy artillery brigade felt like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. However, Tielin Fei's previous plan was to use only twenty of them. bombers to perform this main task, and the remaining fighter planes will give priority to bombing targets such as Japanese ammunition depots and headquarters. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army also dispatched its air force. Now, all sixty-eight bombers will really be destroyed. Used to bomb the heavy artillery brigade,
Ouyang Yun and Tielin Fei should both feel lucky. The aviation regiment assigned to the North China Front by the Japanese military is mainly bombers, with only one squadron of twelve fighter jets. This is why they dispatched aircraft carriers to attack the Dingzhou base. The main reason for bombing is
According to Juichi Terauchi's arrangement, his aviation regiment will be divided into three waves to provide air support for the decisive battle of Changping. The first and second waves will consist of three squadrons of fighter planes, including one reconnaissance plane, five fighter planes, and the other thirty are bombers. , the third wave consists of two squadrons of fighter planes. After the first wave of air strikes on the Wangjiawei position, the ground attack begins, while the second wave will be responsible for the bombing of Changping City, with the focus of the bombing being on the Xuebing Army. chariot troops and city defenses,
With one hundred and nine fighters against thirty-six fighters, the fighter ratio was 41 to five. Judging from the numbers alone, the Xuebing Army Air Force had a great chance of winning. Tielin Fei seemed a bit cautious in issuing such an order. Overdone, however, the facts proved that his decision was correct, because, from the perspective of fighter performance, the performance of the Type 97 fighter exceeded any fighter in the Xuebing Army, and the quality of its pilots was also far better than that of the young fighter. The pilots of the student army are high,
When iron eggs began to rain from the sky, some Japs who were looking up at the majestic appearance of the fighter planes felt something bad and couldn't help shouting: "Air strike, air strike."
On the Japanese heavy artillery brigade position, almost all the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers raised their heads. The next moment, they couldn't help but exclaimed, and then they ran away without any discipline. The Shaojiazi artilleryman was still thinking about his own cannon and wanted to withdraw the cannon. However, there was no such chance. As the first bomb exploded on the ground, one after another explosions sounded. In the series of explosions, The whole ground trembled,
The headquarters of the First Army was not far from the position of the heavy artillery brigade, only about two kilometers away. At this time, Xiangyue Qingji was looking at the map, calculating whether other attack methods could be carried out, when the sudden sound of explosions The sound of the sound shook everything in the tent, and dust fell from the roof. Xiangyue Qingji had already heard the roar of the aircraft motor, and like his men, he initially thought it was... Fang's fighter plane arrived. At that time, he was extremely satisfied with the quality of the pilots and believed that they arrived on the battlefield in time. From this, he couldn't help but have considerable confidence in the next war. Now, his first reaction was to curse: "Ba Ge ." I was wondering what was going on with the commanders on the ground. Didn't they provide effective guidance to the fighters? At this time, a staff officer covered in dirt ran in and stammered: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, no. Okay, the Chinese fighter plane."
"What." Xiangyue Qingji was confused. He rushed out, raised his binoculars and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw the hateful Xuebing Army logo on the fighter plane. He staggered and almost fell down.
The deployment of Japanese troops outside Wangjiawei was arranged by him personally. He could tell just by the sound that the heavy artillery brigade positions were being bombed. The North China Front Army was equipped with only three heavy artillery brigades in total. There is only one heavy artillery brigade assigned to the First Army. The reason why he is so anxious is because there are artillery regiments from other divisions on that artillery position. His idea of arranging it like this is a good one, to gather all the artillery. It was used uniformly to strengthen the intensity of the artillery bombardment, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy's fortifications by artillery bombardment alone. But now it is better, and it has been stewed by the Xuebing Army Air Force.
In desperation, he even cursed a Chinese national curse: "Haven't all the Chinese fighter planes been destroyed? These are the sons of bitches of the Navy."
Behind him, the staff officers of the First Army saw for the first time that the commander of the army was swearing so disrespectfully. For a moment, they looked at each other and remained silent.
The young bomber pilots of the Xuexi Army in the air did not know that what they had just blown up was not just a heavy artillery regiment. Among them, the deputy commander Zhuang Houzhong, who was specifically responsible for the bombing mission, was satisfied with the result after circling the field for a week. After seeing the results of the battle for himself and his subordinates, he shouted: "Everyone returns." He led all the unharmed bombers to fly quickly towards Dingzhou.
A raging fire broke out on the position of the heavy artillery brigade, and the detonated artillery shells continued to explode. Tie Linfei did not know that his men had just severely damaged the First Army. He thought it was because of the density of the bombs. It was too big to cause such a scene, and I couldn't help but feel very sorry: If only the little devil's plane had arrived half an hour later, it was a pity that so many bombs were lost.
In the air heading northeast about thirty kilometers away from his fighter plane, Major Motori Motoki was also lucky enough to witness the glorious scene on the ground. The commander in charge of the first wave of bombing missions suddenly turned pale. From the discovery After learning the fighter planes of the Bing Army, he felt something was not good. At first, because he found that the number of enemy planes was far more than his own, he hesitated whether to report it and request to return. After all, there were only five in total in his wave. Judging from the number of enemy planes, the number of fighter planes must be far greater than that of his own side. Later, the little devil thought that he was flying the most advanced Type 97, while the Chinese fighters were all It was old-fashioned. I heard that there were airplane wings made of wood. His desire to fight arose again.
After ordering all the bombers to slow down their flight speed and carry out air strikes independently, he led the other four fighter jets to accelerate towards them. At this moment, the enemy planes began to drop bombs, and dense bombs fell from the sky like sesame seeds. Immediately afterwards, something appeared on the ground. Hearing the overwhelming sound of explosions and the flames soaring into the sky, he could even imagine the tragedy on the ground. The little devil who had participated in the first battle of the Great Wall was enraged. Only the imperial army had ever bombed the foreheads of the Chinese people. When ,This scene was reversed, the imperial army turned out to be the target of bombing,
