The first ray of dawn fell on the horizon, and the whistle of Lashio Airport rang. The sound of complicated footsteps broke the silence between heaven and earth. Hundreds of British ground crews gathered in a hurry, and military vehicles dragged square vehicles filled with bombs.
The fighter jet entered the airport and slowly drove towards the neatly parked fighter jets.
The British Air Force, full of fighting spirit, is extremely busy. Since the war, the heroic British Imperial Air Force has won successive victories. Yesterday afternoon, it launched an effective bombing campaign against Ruili, Wanding and Tongbiguan, which were reoccupied by the Chinese Army.
The Chinese Air Force has suffered a lot.
Although the British Army Headquarters in Myanmar has long known that the Anjia Army, the most famous of the Chinese army, has three aviation groups and more than 70 fighter aircraft of various types imported from Germany and assembled using imported parts, but
The British Air Force stationed in Lashio believed very confidently that under the unpredictable climate conditions in the Yunnan and Burma regions, the lack of training of the Chinese aviation forces was simply incapable of taking off for combat operations.
Courage and experience, and the consecutive air combat victories on the first day of the war and the next day also well proved the judgment of the British army in Lashio. Furthermore, seeing that the armistice negotiations were imminent, if the rare good weather and precious few hours could be used,
Time, a beautiful air raid on the Chinese *** troops and important military targets can somewhat restore some reputation for the army troops that were driven out of western Yunnan.
The British Air Force targeted the last air strike at Baoshan Airport, the most important military airport in western Yunnan, and tried to blow up the old runway and all the buildings and facilities at Baoshan Airport, making it impossible for the Chinese troops to use it in the short term, thereby greatly damaging the air force's capabilities.
Reduce the potential threat posed by Chinese aviation forces to the Lashio and Myitkyina areas.
However, the arrogant British Air Force still seriously underestimated its opponents. Just as they were making intense preparations before taking off, a total of fifty-six fighter jets from two regiments of the Southern Sichuan Air Force Command that took off from Baoshan Airport in advance were already in batches.
When they arrived, the British officers and soldiers at the airport heard the roar of aircraft in the eastern sky. Most of them froze on the spot and looked up in disbelief, seeing clearly the formation of Junkers attack aircraft.
The densely packed bomber group suddenly screamed, and the airport was filled with screams and chaos. The ground crews who were loading bombs were running around like headless flies. The first formation of the Chinese Air Force was quickly in place, and the aviation machine guns on the attack planes were in full swing.
roared loudly, and the dense rain of bullets tore apart the vehicles and fleeing crowds at the airport. It was only then that the alarm horn above the airport control tower wailed loudly.
Three formations of six attack planes quickly passed over the airport, followed by huge Junkers bombers, which dropped densely packed high-power aerial bombs and newly developed 250-pound incendiary bombs one after another.
The airport shook violently amid violent explosions
The powerful shock wave easily overturned and blew up the twenty-one fighter planes and vehicles on the airport. The blazing flames spread rapidly with the explosions one after another, licking all the objects on the airport crazily.
Xu Airport was as miserable as hell.
The third fleet circled in the sky around the airport, showing no interest in paying attention to the burning battlefield that had changed beyond recognition, and instead pounced on the ammunition depot in the valley due south.
At the same time, the last batch of 17 Yunnan Army Aviation Force fighter planes flying out of Baoshan Airport had already arrived over Nalong Town, northwest of Lashio. The Mang officers and soldiers in the posts around the town looked at the low-flying planes in astonishment.
look
Only when they saw the flames ejected from the aircraft's aircraft machine guns did they realize that the still sleeping town had suffered an unexpected air attack. Before the sentry in Jestili rushed into the town to call the police, eight bombers took turns dropping a series of aerial bombs.
, most of
The Mang officers and soldiers who had just played an outstanding role in helping the British and Burmese troops evacuate their homeland did not know what happened until their death. The buildings in the small town were bombed repeatedly by Yunnan army fighter planes and round after round.
Under the crazy attack, it collapsed suddenly, the flaming masonry and broken wood were scattered in the air, the flames caused by incendiary bombs rose into the sky, the limbs of the galloping cattle and horses were flying under the strafing of the aircraft, and the endless and huge explosion sound lingered in the mountains for a long time.
echo.
Twenty minutes later, the fighter planes circling in the sky saw that a three-kilometer radius below had turned into a scorched earth. There was no longer a living person among the fires and ruins. Then they dropped all the remaining bombs and returned easily.
Counting classics and forgetting ancestors,
The Mang people, who created the miracle of tribal development in northern Myanmar through plunder and robbery, received the most severe punishment from the motherland. An emerging ethnic group with less than 20 years of history, together with the town of Nalong built by two generations of them, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
in the long river.
At 7:25 a.m., Anjia Army Headquarters in Xufu.
"Well done!"
An Yi's words of praise spoke to the thoughts of the entire hall. Confidential Secretary Zhao Bohan picked up the good news that was thrown into the air by An Yi and then floated to the ground. He happily stood aside and looked at An Yi, Yang Bin, and Ye Cheng.
I was so happy waiting for the superiors to give each other high fives.
"This battle was well fought. It finally cleared away the haze of the previous two air battles and rectified the name of our air force!" Gu Changfeng said with a proud look on his face.
Zhang Yang thought for a while, but finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and asked curiously: "Our air force has experienced the famous Shanghai 1.28 Anti-Japanese War and the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. Why did it lose in the first two air battles? Our air force failed in the first two air battles?
The Air Force has the latest radar and radio systems. Logically speaking, these British aircraft are not enough to see."
Ye Cheng was a little surprised that this guy who had always been lazy by nature actually used his brain to think. He smiled and said: "What? You guys can also use your brain to think? It's very simple. In the first two air battles, we didn't use our
Far superior to the opponent's radio and radar systems, our air force has withstood the test of life and death in blood and fire, but the fledgling Yunnan Army has not! Without personal experience
When can they grow up in such actual combat? Moreover, the secret of radar is only known to us and a few people. Foreigners have always dismissed our technology and always thought it was us bragging, so naturally we followed suit.
Their wishes must be kept secret, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the weak-minded central government people will not betray what we have worked so hard to research."
Yang Bin explained: "Another reason is that the traffic in western Yunnan is very bad. Our air defense troops cannot rush there in time. The radar troops and anti-aircraft artillery regiments rely heavily on roads. Although the actual test of new technologies and new arms has shown that
Application is very important, but at this time of internal and external troubles, there is no need for us to show this face."
An Yi nodded: "High technology is a good thing, but it is not good if it creates dependence. In the future Sino-Japanese war, the location of the air battle is not completely under our control. If we experience more air battles without radar guidance, it will be very difficult for our commanders and fighters."
Growth is very beneficial. The first two air battles were defeated by the British
All the downed fighter planes belonged to the Yunnan Army Air Force. Only the fighters of our Fourth Regiment were damaged, and the losses were very slight. I believe that after these two actual combat tests, the Yunnan Army Air Force, which has always felt good about itself, will make a good summary and humbly accept our
The opinions of the experts and coaches sent out!”
Zhao Bohan listened quietly on the side, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Director of the *** Department Zhan Zao quickly asked An Yi for permission, personally wrote a brief press release of more than 100 words, and handed it to the adjutant to immediately send it to the radio station to report the victory to the entire Chinese people.
…
At 8:50 in the morning, an old one-and-a-half-ton civilian truck was parked at the Xianghe intersection in the south of Xufu City. Several workers were carrying bundles of sacks from the store and loading them into the truck.
In the cab, Du Yi, who was wearing work clothes and a workman's hat, leaned over the steering wheel, and Shen Fengdao, who was sitting next to him dressed similarly, whispered:
"Commanders Huanqi and Huang Xunyi did a good job in the air raid and successfully completed the plan. The most satisfying thing for me was the elimination of the Shatong militants who were willing to be the lackeys of imperialism. If the report of the Yunnan Army Air Force is accurate, , there are no more Mang people in the world."
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "What brothers hate the most are traitors and lackeys. Even if the nine tribes are destroyed, it is not too much."
Du Yi lit a cigarette and took two comfortable puffs: "Do you think the British will accuse us all over the world?"
"Well, it's very possible that the British like to do this kind of thing, but I guess there's not much evidence. Think about it, how much can be left in the entire town after being bombarded by hundreds of aerial bombs and incendiary bombs? Even if it's alive If there were ten or eight people killed, they wouldn't be able to accuse unless they were blown up.
"We don't need to worry too much. The British are too busy with their own affairs. We still have a brigadier general and nearly a thousand prisoners of war in our hands. How can they be in the mood to cause trouble again? I guess what the British feel most distressed about is Lashio Airport. And the ammunition depot in the south of the city, as well as the front-line troops at Tongbiguan that are being bombed. Over the years, have you ever seen them take care of the life and death of ethnic minorities in northern Myanmar? At most, they barked a few times like a beaten and injured dog. It’s over.”
Shen Fengdao didn't care about the possible reaction of the British.
Du Yi suddenly became happy: "That's right, the commander has the same view... Look, Huang Han and that kid came out together, and the youngest uncle also came out to see them off."
Shen Fengdao looked at the corner grocery store more than forty meters ahead, and carefully observed the young man who looked like a student following Huang Han. When he saw the handsome and simple face of the young man, his eyes were sly, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of evil. A knowing smile.
The young man's surname is Chang, his original name is Chang Xiaofu, and his ancestral home is Guzhang, Xiangxi. Four years ago, Deng Bin, who served as the leader of Zhang Hongluan's teaching team, led his team for field training. When passing by the small village where Chang Xiaofu's family lived, he accidentally met Chang Xiaofu's sister Chang. Juan, Chang Juan was seventeen years old at the time. She shyly said a few words and was attracted by Deng Bin. When Deng Bin saw the beautiful little girl running away shyly, Deng Bin quickly sent a soldier borrowed from the local area to enter the house. After asking about the families in the small village, they learned that there were originally more than 20 families in the village. After the banditry, a plague came down, and in the end there were only six families left, 34 people old and young. Chang Juan's parents, grandparents were all there. He died in the plague. Less than half a month later, Zhang Hongluan learned that Deng Bin was in love with a little girl from a mountain village in Guzhang County. Without saying a word, he sent someone to come to talk to him as a matchmaker. He dropped fifty yuan and bought the youngest of the Chang family's only distant relatives. The uncle took the siblings into his hands.
Chang Juan lived a stable and sweet life after marrying Deng Bin. Deng Bin was very kind to his siblings and took good care of his wife. Seeing that his brother-in-law Chang Xiaofu liked to spend all day in his teaching group, he simply let this boy He joined the army and became a soldier. Chang Xiaofu was very smart and learned everything quickly. He liked spending time in the repair shop and the signal company the most. The brothers liked him when they saw that the sixteen-year-old guy was polite and had a sweet mouth. , I taught him two things if he had nothing to do. The little guy learned to repair guns and send and receive newspapers within a year. From not knowing a word to being able to roughly read newspapers, my sister and Deng Bin were very happy. I originally planned to let the little guy practice his two skills. He was sent to the Military Academy for further study in 2011. It happened that the rapidly expanding Xiangxi garrison needed a firearms repairman to go to the county below to help out for a few days. As they were unable to send any manpower, Chang Xiaofu was temporarily arrested and put in charge of the cylinder. Unexpectedly, he just arrived. The Red Army of the county's security regiment came over, and Huang Han, who was leading the troops, got into trouble. As a result, the security forces were disarmed and purged by Zhang Cunzhuang's regular division, and intelligence agents were secretly dispatched to sneak into the surrounding areas to collect intelligence on the Red Army.
Deng Bin, who was in charge of intelligence work, was already the deputy army commander at the time. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to temporarily send his brother-in-law Chang Xiaofu to follow Huang Han and work as an undercover agent in the Red Army for a few days. Unexpectedly, Du Yi came later on the order of An Yi.
After meeting Huang Han and listening to Deng Bin's private report, he left Chang Xiaofu with Huang Han.
The military relations and command power were transferred to Du Yi. Deng Bin regretted this for a long time. He was very worried that his brother-in-law was too young and inexperienced, and might not even get a whole body back. However, the military orders were overwhelming and he could only
He told his wife that his brother-in-law had transferred to serve under Commander An, and his wife was very happy about it for a long time.
The astute Chang Xiaofu had a special rapport with Huang Han. After he founded the Sichuan-Hunan Red Army with Huang Han, he won Huang Han's trust. Huang Han's political commissar also liked this child who could write a lot and repair firearms. Later he saw that
Chang Xiaofu was particularly fond of radio and had talent in this area, so he transferred Chang Xiaofu from a communications corpsman to a radio operator. He learned from an old comrade for two months and then officially left the army. The political commissar was happy and gave Chang Xiaofu
Xiaofu got a well-known name - Changsheng! From then on, Chang Xiaofu became a confidential member of Huang Han's military division. Moreover, Chang Xiaofu, who had a "good foundation and a strong talent", was "self-taught" and had many successful achievements in cultivation.
The malfunctioning radio stations and generators gained the favor and trust of Huang Hanhe and the political commissar. Chang Xiaofu was sent to Xufu twice to buy parts and repair tools, and he established his own intelligence by relying on the youngest uncle who immigrated to Xufu.
point.
Shen Fengdao knew that the youngest uncle had been silenced by Du Yi and became a non-staff member of Du Yi's intelligence bureau. While secretly praising Du Yi for his shrewdness, he also admired the young Chang Xiaofu very much: "Did Huang Han just leave after shopping?"
"Yes, I told him before we parted in the early morning that starting tonight we will launch a large-scale anti-rape operation in all counties and towns in southern Sichuan. We will arrest all suspicious persons and let him leave as soon as possible. But I am worried that Huang Han still has his own intelligence
We don't understand, so we came to see for ourselves, and at the same time, we also let you meet this little guy Chang Xiaofu. From now on, his relationship will be transferred to you." Du Yi explained in a low voice.
Shen Fengdao nodded and saw Huang Han and Chang Xiaofu boarding the bus bound for the city center, and quickly urged Du Yi to follow them.
