The bombers flew past Taiyuan Airport and dropped a series of aviation bombs, overturning, tearing and detonating Japanese aircraft on the apron one by one.
The air defense fire at the Japanese airport opened fire at the first time, and bullets and anti-aircraft shells were swaying and swaying, wrapping around the bomber, which made the Eighth Route Army pilots furious. After the first wave of bombing was lifted up, the bomber headed towards him.
The Japanese high-fire firepower position rushed towards them.
The Japanese army did not pay enough attention to air defense. An airport is usually a garrison of anti-aircraft machine gun squadron and an anti-aircraft artillery squadron. Since Liu Yimin led his mentor to occupy Taiyuan and asked David to lead a team to bomb the Japanese airport, the Japanese army has continuously strengthened the air defense force at the airport, like
At a base-type airport like Taiyuan, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun brigade and two anti-aircraft artillery squadrons. However, the Japanese army still used traditional air defense tactics and did not understand the melee tactics of gathering fire. Each artillery fights on its own, so the hit rate is relatively low.
many.
The Eighth Route Army bombers rushed down roaring, bombs kept throwing down, airborne machine guns and machine guns were like windy, and the Japanese high-fire firepower positions were filled with smoke, blood and blood, and they were ravaged.
Unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army pilots still had short flight time and were not comprehensive in technology. In the Japanese army's desperate counterattack of high-fire firepower, two light bombers were still hit. Although Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan repeatedly warned the pilots not to choose to die with the enemy, the young Eighth Route Army aviation troops
They flew into the Japanese high-fire firepower position one after another. The huge explosion and the fire that soared into the sky completely frozen the surprise and fear of the Japanese air defense forces in the impression of the ancient city of Taiyuan.
After solving the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, the bomber formation rushed to the airport again, and it was not until the Japanese oil depot was detonated that it would lift the triumph.
While Taiyuan Airport was completely bombed, the Japanese airport in Shijiazhuang also welcomed its least welcome guests. The bomber formation led by Chang Qiankun, the captain of the Second Air Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, drilled out of the clouds and began to rush towards the airport.
Shijiazhuang Airport was once sneak attacked twice, especially the first time. The ammunition depot and oil explosion caused by the air strikes completely turned the airport into a purgatory on earth. Therefore, the alert at Shijiazhuang Airport was very strict. As soon as the sky was dawn, two fighter planes were upgraded.
Alert.
Unlike Taiyuan Airport, which mainly undertakes the task of supporting the First Army to clear out the war, Shijiazhuang Airport is responsible for bombing southern Hebei. Therefore, early in the morning, Japanese planes began to refuel and mount bombings and take off to carry out reconnaissance and bombing missions in Jingxian.
When Chang Qiankun led a bomber formation to the sky above Shijiazhuang, he was discovered by Japanese fighters on duty. Japanese planes rushed over to block them. Chang Qiankun ordered Nick to lead Wu Le and Lei Zhicheng and his fighter squadron to fight against Japanese fighters, and led the bomber to rush directly.
Go to the Japanese airport.
Looking at the Japanese planes that were taxiing and taking off at the airport, Chang Qiankun knew that Shijiazhuang Airport had received a warning report from fighter planes, and immediately ordered the Japanese planes to be intercepted and bombed. He rushed down as soon as he pressed the nose.
A Japanese plane that was gliding was just raised to the nose when it was hit in the abdomen by Chang Qiankun's machine guns and exploded and caught fire. When Chang Qiankun saw that he had made contributions in the first battle, he flew past the plane in an ultra-low altitude flight.
The bomb dropper, the shooter kept dropping bombs and firing, cutting a bloody path on the airport.
After being pulled up, Chang Qiankun saw that the bombing effect was good and the Japanese planes were basically destroyed. Just as he was about to press the nose and dive again, Nick's stiff Chinese came from the headphones: "Chang, I discovered the formation of Japanese fighter jets.
”
Chang Qiankun looked at Shijiazhuang Airport with some regrets, and decisively ordered the bomber formation to leave the battlefield and retreat quickly. He ordered Nick to lead the fighter squadron to cover and retreat at the right time.
The arriving Japanese fighter formation was the fighter squadron that had just taken off at Shijiazhuang Airport and headed for reconnaissance missions near Jingxian County. There were four fighter jets. Not far from Shijiazhuang, they received an order from the airport to encounter air strikes and demanded to return to the airport to intercept the Eighth Route Army bombers.
Nick and the fighter squadron had just dealt with a Japanese fighter jet on duty when he saw four Japanese fighter jets rushing up. While calling Chang Qiankun the police, they quickly lifted up. The young men who commanded the fighter jet squadron occupied a favorable position.
In contrast, the Japanese fighter pilots were well-trained. Four fighter jets plus one fighter on duty, and five Japanese fighter jets rushed forward in a fierce manner.
When Nick saw this formation, he knew that his young men were still a little tender and were not the opponent of Japanese aircraft. He hurriedly ordered the fighter squadron to retreat. He and his comrade Sorens flew into the Japanese army on the fighter plane, fighting and retreating, and flying towards Shaanxi.
Go. Nick knew that as long as he flew across the Yellow River, he could be saved even if he skydiving.
The pilots of the Japanese fighter squadron already knew that the airport was destroyed, the oil had just been filled and the ammunition was sufficient, so they bit Nick and Sorens tightly and chased them all the way.
It was not easy to fly across the Yellow River. Nick and Sorens knew it was safe and stopped escaping. They turned around and fought with the Japanese plane.
When the Japanese plane saw that the Eighth Route Army pilots stopped running away, they were naturally very surprised and immediately rushed up and started fighting.
On one hand is a senior flight instructor of the US military, and on the other hand is a well-trained Japanese pilot. The fighter jets are the same fighter jets, which depends on who has excellent skills. The two sides roll and fight against each other in the sky of Shaanxi. The ending is that both sides are both.
Without taking advantage, Nick and Sorens shot down a Japanese plane with their superb skills, and they both abandoned the plane and parachute because the oil was exhausted.
After the Eighth Route Army fighter jets attacked Taiyuan Airport, the information about Shijiazhuang Airport was transmitted to the command of the North China Front Flight Group of Japan, Lieutenant General Nagakishita Toshiba was furious and immediately ordered the rapid repair of Shijiazhuang Airport. He dispatched a reconnaissance aircraft squadron to enter Shijiazhuang Airport and began to respond to the situation.
Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Base Area conducted a new round of comprehensive investigation and search, and ordered all Japanese planes in Baoding to take off and retaliate bombing in Xi'an again. Major General Seika Kita, the chief of the Japanese secret service agency, also ordered the intelligence agencies to search for the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army Airport in Shaanxi, with the intention of taking one stone
Destroy the newly born Eighth Route Army aviation force.
After arriving in Xi'an, the Japanese plane that took off from Baoding Airport arrived in Xi'an, they encountered an interception by the Eighth Route Army Air Force fighter squadron who had returned to the airport. Chang Qiankun and David, Loshir, Ross, and Sdier took off with four retired US military instructors, taking off with the fighter squadron.
Welcoming the enemy, the first air battle in Shaanxi's history occurred over Xi'an. This time, the Japanese army did not seek good things and was shot down four bombers and one fighter. The Eighth Route Army aviation also lost two fighter jets. The combat loss ratio was 5
:2. Fortunately, it was in Xi'an. The Eighth Route Army pilot was rescued immediately after parachuting, and the Japanese pilot was in trouble. The best outcome was to be captured.
After the Japanese army suffered a loss, Lieutenant General Kinoshita, who remembered the story of his former Lieutenant General Tokugawa's suicide by committing suicide by committing suicide by cesarean section, had nowhere to vent his anger. He forgot all the orders of General Tsouchi Seuchi to concentrate all the planes to the Jingxian area to investigate and search, and mobilized North China Flight Group
All aircraft and joint fleet carrier-based aircraft conducted a comprehensive search and reconnaissance of Shaanxi, attempting to find the Eighth Route Army's airport to destroy it. As a result, the Japanese planes at the airport were not found. They were so angry that they dropped all the bombs on the Eighth Route Army's Yellow River Defense Position, and the
On the position of Tiaoshan National Army, the position of Jinxi Jinsui Army, and the position of Jinzhong Eighth Route Army, the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Xiang Yueqingsi, called Yoxi, Yoxi.
Afterwards, when the Chairman sent a report to Liu Yimin, he specifically raised the question of how to avoid revenge on Japanese aircraft. This made Liu Yimin walk for several days in a row, and his teeth were clattering loudly when he spoke, and he wanted to arrest Lieutenant General Kinoshita immediately.
public trial.
General Soichi Desouchi didn't wake up until noon. When he woke up, he asked General Naossaki Okabe if he found the exact location of the main force of the instructor Liu Yimin?
Naosaburo Okabe reported the situation of the Eighth Route Army Air Force's sneak attack on Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang Airport, and said that in order to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army Air Force, Lieutenant General Kinoshita had ordered his efforts to go to Shaanxi to search and reconnaise the Eighth Route Army Airport, and was preparing to destroy the Eighth Route Army Air Force in one fell swoop.
When General Toshikazui heard this, he felt that Lieutenant General Kinoshita's mind was covered in mucus. He dared to put the order to find the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching staff aside and bomb the distant Shaanxi and Shanxi. It was simply picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, which was so stupid.
Immediately asked Lieutenant General Naosaki Okabe to notify Lieutenant General Kinoshita to stop bombing Shaanxi and Shanxi missions, and immediately concentrate on searching and reconnaissance to find the main force of Teacher Liu Yimin.
Lieutenant General Naosaki Okabe went to call Lieutenant General Kinisho Toshita, and then General Tsouichi Teraunuchi got up to wash and eat.
While eating, Lieutenant General Naosaki Okabe came in to report that Lieutenant General Kinoshita said he could not execute the command of the commander because all the fighter planes had taken off to Shaanxi to perform reconnaissance, search and bombing tasks. After completing the task,
If you have time, go to the Hebei-zhong area to carry out reconnaissance missions.
When the general Shouyi of the Temple heard this, he was so angry that he threw the chopsticks on the dining table. He opened his mouth and was about to scold Bageyalu, but a shark fin stuck in his throat, making the dignified Count of the Empire and the Army General drum.
He looked at his eyes and his mouth was wide open and he couldn't speak.
After letting the military doctor go for a long time, he pulled out the shark fin. The general of Teraunuchi Hoshita who restored his speaking function was the eighth gay road. Lieutenant General Kinoshita did not understand the strategy and was not worthy of being the commander of the North China Front Flight Group. He was only worthy of
Go to Hokkaido to fish. Then he ordered Lieutenant General Naossabu Okabe to go to the Flight Group Command in person, and must carry out strict search and reconnaissance in the Jingxian area in the afternoon.
Thinking about it, General Toichi Desouchi ordered General Naossaku Okabe to contact the troops along Cangshi Road in person to inquire about the enemy situation.
It was not until 4 pm that the fighter planes of the North China Front Flight Group began to conduct careful search and reconnaissance in Linqing, Jingxian, Fucheng, Jiaohe and Xianxian. The results were beyond the expectations of General Shou'ani Shou, and the aviation army actually reported that the Eighth Route Army was not discovered.
The main force of the instructor.
Shi Nai Shou Yiyi was anxious. He knew that Liu Yimin was leading the army in this area, and the damn air force was blind, but he couldn't find them. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Shi Nai Shou Yiyi lamented that God would not bless me, so he simply closed his eyes and opened it.
I have the skill of meditation.
At six o'clock, the main force of the Eighth Route Army's instructor began to gather along Cangshi Road. At exactly eight o'clock, Liu Yimin gave the order, the artillery brigade began to bombard Cangshi Road. Under the cover of artillery fire, the three first-class main brigades and cavalry brigades of the instructors and
The division-level troops broke through Cangshi Road in three directions and swept towards Xian County.
The Japanese army defending Cangshi Road was the 23rd Division and the 24th Division. Since these two divisions also undertake the garrison tasks of the Pinghan Line, Jinpu Line and Deshi Line. The front line is too long and the troops are insufficient.
Yu Cangshi Road defends only the troops of one regiment. If you encounter ordinary national troops and the Japanese deputies of two regiments defend Cangshi Road, it can be said to be as stable as a rock and can be called heavy defense.
Unfortunately, the Japanese army was hit on Deshi Road and rushed to Cangshi Road to set up defenses. They encountered the main force of the instructor. This force was just two regiments in the instructor's army, and they were still spread.
On the long Cangshi Road, every section of the road seems to have empty troops. Where can we stop the extremely powerful tutor?
Seeing the powerful firepower of the teacher, the defender completely became a turtle with his head and no longer had the courage to pursue him. He just carefully and meticulously did not report to the division: "At 8 o'clock tonight, the Eighth Route Army gathered several artillery regiments to bombard Cangshi
Then, under the guidance of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, the defenders were attacked in different directions, and all the defenders were broken. These Eighth Route Army wore the imperial uniforms, and their commands were all in Japanese, with extremely strong firepower. They are now heading towards 3 Xian County."
The report was quickly transferred to the North China Front Army Headquarters. General Tsouchi Seunuchi was hungry and stopped meditating. He stood in front of the map, his hands holding the telegram were trembling constantly.
It was Lieutenant General Naosabu Okabe who reminded him that the situation was urgent and asked the commander to make a decision early, so that the frightened general Tochi of Teraunuchi woke up and ordered the 23rd Division and the 24th Division immediately went from Cangshi Road.
, Deshi Road withdrew troops, concentrated all its forces to Baoda Road to set up defense, ordered the 22nd Division to draw troops north, to undertake Pinghan Road defense of the 23rd Division, and ordered the 108th Division to undertake the 24th Division II
The 12th Division and the 108th Division are responsible for the combat missions to support Baoda Road.
After giving the order, Soichi Seiyasu sent a report to Kita Seiya who had arrived in Shijiazhuang, asking him to rush to southern Hebei overnight and urgently meet with the representative of the Eighth Route Army to discuss the issue of the Eighth Route Army going north to attack Pingjin. No matter what, he should be stable.
Live in the Eighth Route Army.
Naosaburo Okabe is now increasingly unable to understand the general of Hoshiichi Temple. What is there? Liu Yimin's instructor rushed to the foot of the city of Peking. That's not what he could come in just if he wanted to enter Peking. The walls of the city of Peking are so strong, so guard them.
There should be no problem in a few days. In a few days, you can transfer the main force back to encircle and annihilate the instructor. Why be so panicked!
Naosaburo Okabe did not know the suffering of General Sorai Shinaka. If Liu Yimin really arrived in Peking, he would not be able to keep his teacher with the strength of the Beiping defenders. Once the city was broken, General Sorai Shinaka would have to commit suicide by cesarean section.
No matter how thick-skinned he is, Emperor Hirohito will not tolerate his guilt for losing Peking.
All of Sakaichi's behavior fell into the ears of Liu Yimin, who was advancing to Xian County. He immediately ordered the entire army to change back to the Eighth Route Army uniforms and divide the troops on the spot. The first brigade went north to Hejian and took offensive defense against Baodalu; the second
The brigade went out of Raoyang, Anping, and Anguo; the 3rd brigade took Wuqiang, Shenxian, Xianxian and Jiaohe; the cavalry brigade was equipped with a medium-sized mortar regiment to capture Suning, Lixian and Boye; the division headquarters led the guard regiment, Xin 2
Regiment, New Third Regiment, Field Artillery Regiment, Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, Special Operations Brigade, Sniper Brigade turned around and headed south to seize Fucheng, Jingxian, and Wuyi, and monitored the enemy on the Jinpu Road. The Western Front Group was ordered to evacuate the Japanese army from Germany.
The militia mobilized after the stone line, and the masses completely destroyed the Deshi Line. The Fourth Education Brigade was sent to the Second Field Artillery Regiment to recover Gaocheng, Wuji, Jinxian, Shenze, and the Sixth Education Brigade to the Mountain Artillery Regiment to capture Luancheng, Zhaoxian, and the Eighth Education Brigade
Capturing Shulu and Hengshui. Among them, the Fourth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade had the mission of monitoring the Japanese army on the Pinghan Line.
After Liu Yimin gave the order, Luo Ronghuan smiled and said, "Teacher Commander, you are going to take advantage of the Japanese army's retreat and recover Jizhong without fighting!"
Liu Yimin immediately retorted: "What the political commissar said is wrong. Our 100,000 army has fought for several days and nights, and the shells have been fired for so many times and hundreds of miles. How can we say that we will recover Jizhong without fighting? We are fighting in one battle.
!”
When Luo Ronghuan saw Liu Yimin rebutting, his face was full of smiles. He knew that he was proud of him, and then said, "I think this battle is called Liu Yimin scaring away the temple. But, although the Japanese army retreated, the war in Shanxi may be
It is getting more and more intense. On the Pinghan Line, Kenji Doihara's 14th Division has not been moved. It is hard to say whether he will return from northern Henan to attack southern Hebei or join the battlefield in Shanxi. On the Jinpu Line, the Japanese army's
The 5th, the 10th, and the 16th Division are still eyeing each other. It is hard to say whether they will go north to siege our army. The battle is getting bigger and bigger. Our army is relatively tired and needs a short period of rest.
ah!"
Liu Yimin nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is obvious that the Japanese army wants to take the defensive momentum in central Hebei, southern Hebei, and western Shandong, and concentrate their efforts on fighting in Shanxi and Xuzhou. There is no problem with Shanxi, we have four main divisions there.
, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng and several division commanders are the most talented and practical military leaders of our army. Although the Japanese devils were powerful for a while, they had no choice but to do anything to us. At worst, the enemy would advance and retreat.
Advance. The defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain in Wei Lihuang will not be able to capture the Japanese devils for a while. Xuzhou depends on the development of the war. At worst, we will be able to attack the Japanese army with Li Zongren. However, our Eighth Route Army is here.
If you fight against the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang is not sure that the Kuomintang army will be in charge of the Japanese army. This is not good. You have to think of the Kuomintang army taking the initiative to defend and attack actively."
Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, we can go with the flow and use this time to focus on base construction and army construction. There are too many troops concentrated in southern Hebei now, and the training headquarters alone cannot be busy, and Wu Zheng is busy again.
To strengthen logistics, we need to strengthen our strength.”
Liu Yimin has been thinking about this issue for several days, and the war was too tight to arrange. Seeing Luo Ronghuan bringing it up, Liu Yimin said: "I hate that there is only a small amount of troops when it is used. I think our army urgently needs to expand its troops. In this way, we both are also
I am here to command the troops, and the political commissar goes back to Nangong to hold a funeral for Comrade Li Yimo and General Fan Zhuxian, and is in charge of commanding the reorganization of the Hebei Central Army and the reorganization of the Western Shandong armed forces. In principle, our army's Hebei Central Army is unified into the Hebei Central Military Region troops
, I have different opinions on the candidates. After the political commissar returned, I expressed my opinions to the chairman, the boss, the commander Lin, and the political commissar Nie. I suggest that Meng Qingshan's deputy commander of the Hebei Central Military Region be changed to the political commissar of the Hebei Central Military Region, Lu Zhengcao was appointed as the commander, and Lu Ben
Comrades served as secretary of Jizhong District. After returning, the political commissar came up with a specific reorganization plan and directly reported to the Military Commission and headquarters. Remember to report to the Chief Lin and Political Commissar Nie. In addition, Zhao Yunxiang, Duan Haizhou, Qiao Mingli, Fan Zixia's troops and various armed forces in Jizhong
All forces are incorporated into our army. I plan to rename the First Brigade, Second Brigade, and Third Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Jiangsu First, Second, and Third Divisions, each division's 9th Regiment, with artillery regiments and heavy machine guns
Regiment, cavalry regiment, engineering regiment, and baggage regiment. The other brigades are also built according to the division-level scale. After they arrive in Shandong, they are named the security division after the combat area. What needs to be expanded now are the security divisions in southern Hebei and the security divisions in western Shandong. Anyway, we
There are enough cadres and sufficient soldiers, and weapons and equipment are not a problem. What is needed is a period of running-in training. This matter will be considered by the political commissar.”
Luo Ronghuan thought for a while and said, "The expansion of the troops requires approval from the Military Commission and the headquarters. Should I ask for instructions first?"
Liu Yimin shook his head: "I have asked for instructions when I left Xi'an, and the Chairman and the CEO have approved it. You can do it boldly, it's okay. Of course, it's necessary to ask for instructions again. You can do it as you please, first reorganize the Hebei Central Army.
, let them return to Hebei as soon as possible. The main force of our army must seize the time to go south to attack Hanji Road, and also seize the time to enter Shandong east. It is impossible to stay here for a long time. The situation in Hebei is very good now, and the Japanese army will sweep this time.
It is equivalent to exposing all the faces of various varied armed forces and cleaning them. This time our army recovered Hebei Zhong, and it will wipe out all the traitor forces in one fell swoop. In this way, the foundation for the future development of Hebei Zhong will be laid. The Hebei Central troops will be quickly
It will grow stronger. If there are any difficult things during reorganization, discuss with Comrades Meng Qingshan, Lu Zhengcao, and Lu Ben, and you can also divide the Hebei Central Army into the 115th Division, 120th Division, and 129th Division. Especially the 120th Division
, the foundation is already weak, and the Jinsui River is sparsely populated and has no soldiers. Hebei Central is densely populated, has many soldiers and high quality, so we can give them more supplements."
Luo Ronghuan felt that Liu Yimin was considering it very comprehensively. He thought that the task was very heavy, so he immediately wanted to rush back to Nangong. Liu Yimin ordered the cavalry battalion of the Third Regiment to escort Luo Ronghuan back to Nangong and strengthen the garrison force of Nangong.
When the breakup was broken, Luo Ronghuan once again advised Liu Yimin that if the Japanese do not take the initiative to attack, they should not attack Pingjin and concentrate their efforts to restore the base in Hebei. No matter what kind of deployment is, they should not take risks. It is okay to take strange moves, but they should be very cautious when taking risks.
.
Liu Yimin knew that the political commissar was worried about his safety, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't have anything to do. What are our strong brigades by my side? "
Luo Ronghuan laughed as he said.
The two of them walked and chatted. After the Cavalry Battalion of the Third Brigade caught up, Liu Yimin shook hands and said goodbye with Luo Ronghuan and walked separately.
