According to common sense, the Eighth Route Army Air Force does not have fighter escorts and should be dispatched in batches when dispatching to perform missions. However, Feng Dafei knew that Luoyang Airport had been exposed, and the Japanese army would definitely investigate and block it. In addition, Luoyang is a famous city and a strategic location, and Japanese spies would
I am afraid that the spies have been lurking in Luoyang several years ago, or even more than ten years ago. Although I have taken confidentiality measures, the Chief of the First War Zone will also strictly
It is kept secret, but the fact that the plane is flying in the sky and landing on the ground cannot be hidden in any way. As long as there are Japanese spies in Luoyang City, the Japanese planes will definitely come to retaliate. The Japanese army has many fighter jets, and the bomber formation is no match for them, so they can only concentrate
He just took one shot and left, fighting guerrilla warfare in the air with the Japs so that they could not trace them. Therefore, he took off all the fighter planes from the three squadrons of the brigade.
Before taking off, Feng Dafei used the radio to contact Hankou Airport and exchanged communication frequencies with the fighter squadron responsible for escort missions.
When Feng Dafei led the aviation brigade to the Xinluo battlefield, it was when the Japanese army launched an attack. Feng Dafei looked down and saw that the enemy and our fronts were clearly defined. The Japanese artillery positions were divided into several levels and were shelling frantically. The Japanese infantry had already deployed combat teams.
shape, moving towards the garrison position under the cover of artillery fire.
Feng Dafei is not a simple air force cadre. He graduated from the first class of Huangpu. He studied at the Moscow Advanced Aviation School and the Army University of the Soviet Union. He served as the Red Army battalion commander, regimental commander, acting commander, deputy captain and education director of the teaching corps, and central guard.
Division Deputy Commander
, the commander of the only division of the Seventh Red Army, a senior general who was highly regarded by Liu Yimin. He was not only proficient in air combat, but also had in-depth research on infantry tactics. Based on this observation, Feng Dafei immediately determined the focus of the first wave of attacks, which was to resolutely destroy the Japanese army.
Artillery position.
Feng Dafei immediately issued the battle order through the throat intercom: "Attention all: I am Feng Dafei, the second squadron is in the front, the third squadron is in the middle, the first squadron is in the back, the target is the Japanese artillery position, the first wave of bombs, the second wave of dive shooting, all launch
Attack. Repeat, the second squadron is in front, the third squadron is in the middle, and the first squadron is in the rear. The target is the Japanese artillery position. All attack. Attack!"
The second squadron and the third squadron are both light bombers and are faster. The first squadron is a heavy bomber and is naturally behind.
The sky was so clear. In the eyes of the pilots, the Japanese artillery positions were simply targets. Now that there were no Japanese planes to intercept them, it was a rare opportunity for target training. Who doesn't know how to do target shooting? If you don't shoot, you won't shoot.
All the bombers of the Second Squadron, the Third Squadron, and the First Squadron pounced downwards in battle formation.
The troops of the 3rd Japanese Division were launching an attack on the position of Dong Zhao's 28th Division. Cooperating with the attack were the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Division and the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Second Army that had been reinforced.
A brigade of the brigade. At this time, Colonel Seiichi Takeda, commander of the third field artillery regiment, was directing the artillery to carry out artillery bombardment against the Chinese army.
Seeing the artillery shells exploding on the Chinese army positions and setting off white fireworks, Takeda Seiichi felt that he was not a soldier, but an artist. Look, how gorgeous the fireworks show he directed was!
Takeda Seiichi held a telescope in the command post and observed the effects of the bombardment. He kept calling "Yoshi" and ordered the staff to modify the bombardment parameters and correct the coordinates.
In the words of ordinary people, the Japanese army is the most shameless army in the world. It likes to exaggerate the results when it wins, and always minimizes the damage when it loses. When they encounter something they think is very embarrassing, such as the annihilation of an entire brigade or division.
, or the collective destruction of the North China Air Force, the loss of Tianjin, etc., he
They can always keep it secret for as long as they want. It will not be until the Chinese military battle report is released, and newspapers and radio stations around the world are stirred up into a pot of porridge, that the Japanese military headquarters will come out to clarify. In this way, the Japanese people at home and even the frontline troops will be confused all day long.
I was in a fog and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Takeda Seiichi is considered a mid-level officer of the Japanese army. Naturally, he did not know about the bombing of Kaifeng Airport, Shangqiu Airport, and Anyang Airport at this time. He also thought that the lack of aviation bombing today would give his artillery an opportunity to perform on the stage.
Let him show off his power.
Of course, the Japanese army is a well-trained elite after all. Although Takeda Seiichi did not know why the Japanese aviation aircraft did not come to bomb today, he still made air defense preparations because it is far away from Wuhan and Chinese Air Force aircraft often come to bomb.
, and even launched a fierce aerial battle with Japanese planes.
Just when Takeda Seiichi shouted "Hey!" and was triumphant, 24 Eagles swooped down from the sky, and began to strangle the Japanese artillery positions like flies fighting rabbits.
From the day it was formed, the Eighth Route Army Air Force has been engaged in sneak attacks. It is very experienced in how to sneak attack Japanese airports and artillery positions. In addition, it integrates the Soviet tactics learned from the Soviet Union by Feng Dafei, Chang Qiankun and David's American troops.
Tactics, abnormal style
He is tough and cherishes ammunition, so he never engages in high-altitude bomb drops. His favorites are low-altitude skimming and dive bomb drops. What matters is the first hit. No, after Feng Dafei gave the attack order, the three squadrons of the entire brigade formed a flying goose formation.
A dive attack began.
Takeda Seiichi was feeling proud when a strange scene suddenly appeared in his telescope: just above his artillery position, a group of fighter planes suddenly appeared, roaring towards his artillery position. Takeda Seiichi took a closer look and saw the words written on the fuselage
It was the Eighth Route Army Air Force. Immediately afterwards, Takeda Sei heard a huge explosion in his ears.
Takeda Seiichi's mouth turned into an O shape in surprise, and his eyes were staring at the bombs exploding on the artillery position, blowing up the cannons in pieces, and throwing the broken limbs of the artillery soldiers high.
, wrapped in a mist woven from masses of mud and smoke.
Takeda Seiichi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's still the airplanes. The fireworks they set off were much larger, more colorful, and bloody than those set off by their own artillery shells.
Before Seiichi Takeda could continue to be surprised and sighing, the Eighth Route Army fighter planes, which had completed the first wave of bombing attacks, pulled up and started the second round of attacks. This time, the Eighth Route Army fighter planes almost flew over the treetops, firing machine cannons and machine guns.
The loud noise was loud, chasing the figures of the Japanese artillerymen, harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese artillery that was still bullying the Chinese defenders just now became the meat of the Chinese Air Force's chopping block in the blink of an eye. The contrast was so great that Seiichi Takeda, who just moments ago was applauding his artillery's precise bombardment, could not react for a moment.
Come on. Wait for him to stare at you in confusion and say,
When he ordered the anti-aircraft firepower to fire, the commander of the air defense force who was observing the position like him was already frightened, staring blankly, and staggering around the position as if he was drunk, until a shuttle of machine gun bullets came.
He was completely nailed to Chinese soil.
Seeing artillery shells exploding at the Japanese artillery positions, causing smoke and dust that affected his vision, Feng Dafei, who was particularly satisfied with the results, ordered to stop the attack and led his formation to ravage the Japanese infantry who were attacking the defending positions.
After finally waiting for the Eighth Route Army fighter planes to fly away, Takeda Seiichi was completely awake. At this time, his bushido spirit came back. He pulled out his fighting spirit and rushed out of the artillery command post with a roar. He went up to the position and saw, Amaterasu.
Ah, this is still
Is it an artillery position that I carefully built? There are corpses of soldiers everywhere, and occasionally there are wounded people with missing arms and legs wailing. There is not even a complete cannon left, parts are scattered all over the ground, and the wheels of the artillery truck don't know how to roll.
Where has it gone?
Takeda Seiichi raised his sword and shouted "Uday" when a piece of shrapnel from the explosion flew over and broke his command sword into two pieces. Takeda Seiichi was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and then
He crawled on his feet and rolled back to the command post.
After returning to the command post, Takeda Sei regained his composure and issued a series of orders to send a report to the division commander, Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, and General Hata Shunroku. His third field artillery
The whole regiment was destroyed by the bombs of the Eighth Route Army aviation. They were asked to hold the damn aviation responsible for the poor cover and avenge his artillery.
Dong Zhao couldn't believe his eyes. Just now he was thinking that if there was a plane, he would take the Japs' artillery first, but in the end, his own plane really came. And as soon as it came, there were twenty or thirty bombers.
, completely destroying the little devil’s artillery position. Then, the air force brothers opened fire again
The Japanese infantry were bombed. Look how accurately the bomb exploded. When one bomb dropped, a cloud of little Japs were brought dancing in the air. When a row of machine guns were hit, the heavy machine gun positions or infantry cannons of the Japs could be thrown into the air.
The cannon position was blown up into smoke. What a great air force hero!
Dong Zhao was so happy that he couldn't help but ran out of the command post, took off his military cap and waved at the planes in the sky.
Waving and waving, Dong Zhao's arms became stiff, and the joy on his face turned into a grim look. Because he clearly saw a red five-pointed star pattern on the plane, with the word "August 1st" printed on the five-pointed star.
Next to it are the words "Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade" written in Douda. Needless to say, these are Eighth Route Army aircraft coming to support him.
Dong Zhao had an inexplicable feeling about the Eighth Route Army, because the Eighth Route Army was the original Red Army, and the Seventh Red Army was the gravedigger of the original First Division of the World.
Seventh Army
The regiment's Eighth Route Army instructor. Only Liu Yimin's instructor took Taiyuan and attacked Tianjin, and had the chance to completely capture the Japanese aircraft. Looking at the Japanese bombers of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, Dong Zhao knew that his mortal enemy was coming to support him.
However, the expression on Dong Zhao's face only became stern for a moment. He is a soldier after all, and if there are people coming to rescue on the battlefield, they are all brothers. Why are you so wordy! Listen to the cheers of the brothers on the battlefield.
Higher than a wave, almost penetrating the roar of planes and the explosion of bombs, Dong Zhao had a smile on his face again.
After returning to the headquarters, Dong Zhao hung up the phone and reported that the Japanese army was about to launch a full-line attack under the cover of artillery bombardment. The Eighth Route Army Air Force descended from the sky, blew up the Japanese artillery positions, and then bombed the Japanese infantry. Now the Japanese army had been
He was so pissed off that he asked for a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army.
Everyone knows the principle of beating a drowned dog. Although Hu Zongnan has been described by Mr. Peng as a man of great ambition and talent in history, he can definitely seize this kind of opportunity. Soon, a loud charge horn sounded on the garrison position, and groups of soldiers
Jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the little Japanese infantry.
Feng Dafei commanded the aviation brigade to pursue the Japanese bombing raids and fight. As the fight was getting underway, he saw the defenders launching a counterattack. He felt overjoyed and felt that the Chinese army was not completely idiots and knew how to make the best use of the situation. Well, you are a man! We will make it happen.
Let them!
Therefore, Feng Dafei immediately issued an order to form three combat groups from three squadrons to guide the defenders to counterattack.
It became lively now. The Eighth Route Army's planes dropped bombs, machine cannons, and machine guns to the places where the Japs gathered, specifically to destroy the Japs' resistance positions, so that the ground troops could counterattack more smoothly and faster.
The officers in the southern part of Hu Zong quickly figured out that the Eighth Route Army's planes were guiding and covering their own counterattacks, and immediately ordered the troops to attack at the attack point of the planes. Often, as soon as the planes blew over, groups of infantrymen would attack.
They rushed forward and drowned the remaining Japanese troops in a hail of bullets.
In the end, even the National Army fighter squadron that came to escort accepted Feng Dafei's command. As the Eighth Route Army Air Force desperately attacked the Japanese ground troops, the Japanese Third Division's attack troops were staggered, unable to stand firm, and the entire battle line was shaken.
Start working with your butt back to open the way.
This sudden, perfect air-ground coordinated operation completely stunned the Third Division. This beast force, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people since the war began, was defeated for the first time and retreated to Luo
Shanxian City was able to stabilize its position. Hu Zongnan's Seventeenth Group Army, under the cover of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, achieved the first victory in defeating the Japanese permanent division. Its morale was greatly boosted, and it became the ace unit of the Central Army.
Feng Dafei and the others fought until they ran out of ammunition, then quit the battle and prepared to return home.
At this time, through wireless contact, Feng Dafei learned the news about the bombing of Luoyang Airport from the National Army Fighter Squadron, and also received an order from Wuhan for the Eighth Route Army Air Force to transfer to Hankou Airport.
Feng Dafei originally didn't want to transfer to Hankou Airport, but when he started fighting, he not only ran out of ammunition, but also ran out of fuel. He could still fly back to Luoyang, but it was absolutely impossible to fly back to Shaanxi Airport. He ran out of ammunition and ran out of fuel.
, the Eighth Route Army Air Force is at its weakest at this time. If it encounters an enemy plane, the only option is to collide with the plane. In that case, the Eighth Route Army Air Force, which embodies the efforts of countless people, will be ruined by one's own hands.
Inside.
With no other choice, Feng Dafei had no choice but to order a large group to accompany the National Army fighter squadron to transfer to Hankou Airport.
