.The recently restored Zhalantun Airport is another
oThe fleet takes off.
Except for a few fighter jets that participated in the escort as a precaution, every other aircraft was fully loaded with bombs. Some specially modified bombers even had heavy aerial bombs weighing thousands of kilograms hanging under their belly, heading toward the southeast with murderous intent.
Fang flew away.
After more than ten minutes of flight, all the pilots could clearly see the battlefield where fire was taking place in the distance. On both sides of a vast white river, artillery fire roared, smoke columns shot straight into the sky, water tens of meters high splashed on the river, and countless small boats
As we sprint from west to east, pontoon bridges are taking shape, and the whole scene is extremely magnificent.
The commander-in-chief of this bombing mission was Major Xiang Shuang, the first female flight commander of the Anjia Army.
Xiang Shuang is the founder of the founding of Western Hubei. Like Fan Yaqin, a transportation pacesetter from Jingxian County in western Hunan, she is a beautiful Tujia girl. She was admitted to Yichang Aviation School at the end of 1937 and became the first batch of female pilot students in China. In early 1939, she was assigned
Interned in the Fifth Regiment of the 1st Air Division, and became a full-fledged pilot at the end of the year. He has participated in several air raids in Malaya and Myanmar. So far, he has achieved an excellent record of destroying fourteen enemy aircraft. He is a rare heroine in the Air Force.
Hero. In the middle of 2001, the Anjiajun Air Force expanded, and she was promoted to squadron leader due to her merit. This year, the flying group was transferred to the north, and she was given the opportunity to be promoted again, becoming the best pilot student in the same class at Yichang Aviation School.
After determining the target location a few kilometers away, Major Xiang Shuang, who was driving a B3 multifunctional bomber today, started to issue combat orders into the intercom: "Attention, everyone, our attack target this time is across the Nèn River from Liu
A solid fortress group composed of three fortresses! The fortress group stands on the bank of the Nèn River, five kilometers north of Qiqihar City, causing huge casualties to our various departments across the river! From now on, all aircraft will enter the attack route and completely destroy it!
"
Occasionally, there were remnants of anti-aircraft shells flying in the sky. These should be shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns deployed by the Japanese army at various anti-aircraft positions. However, they were not violent. Apparently, the long-range artillery of the Anjia Army and the first few soldiers during the river-crossing battle
o Bombers have long regarded those anti-aircraft positions as key targets, and there are only a few surviving anti-aircraft guns left.
After receiving replies from the lead pilots in the two-plane formation, Xiang Shuang piloted the bomber and was the first to adjust its course and enter the attack route.
At this time, the pilots began to adjust the dive angle to 35 degrees. This angle should be enough to target a large target such as a fortress.
At this time, fighting was raging on both sides of the Nèn River more than 60 kilometers north and south of Qiqihar.
Ye Cheng concentrated the troops of the Second Tank Army and the 19th and 43rd Army and began to launch a forced crossing operation to the east bank of the Nèn River.
Prior to this, Peng Wanjun's First Tank Army had crossed Fufeng in the upper reaches of the Nèn River and captured Tai'an Town behind Ningnian Town (today's Fuyu).
Where have the Japanese troops guarding Ningnian Town seen hundreds of tanks advancing rapidly on the plains? If they had managed to survive by relying on the hostages, they had already lost their lives after seeing the Anjiajun tank cluster.)
At that time, the Japanese rangers assigned to the First Tank Army entered the town holding white flags to persuade them to surrender. Soon, An Ruoyi's Second Tank Division occupied Ningnian without any blood.
After being blocked by Ningnian Town for several days, Colonel Mu Chun, the commander of the 133rd Division, met An Ruoyi and hurriedly led his troops eastward. At this time, the other two divisions of the 41st Group Army had already recovered Longmen.
In all the towns along the railway north of the town, the group army commander Major General Lei Dong ordered the 133rd Division to rush to Bei'an, join the main force of the group army and then go south together, advancing towards Harbin and recovering all areas north of the Songhua River.
On the southern front, the 55th Division of the 19th Group Army had already eliminated the Japanese troops defending Jiangqiao Town, crossed the Nèn River from the south, and continuously occupied Daxing and Tangchi.
After the cross-river battle was launched today, the First Tank Army pressed forward from north to south. The 55th Division blocked the passage of the Japanese army southward, while the main force launched a force-crossing attack from west to east. The entire Nèn River was filled with shouts of killing that shook the earth.
At the forced crossing point in Gannan Town (today's Fularji), Ye Cheng personally visited the front line for inspection. On the armored command vehicle, he saw dozens of pontoon bridges lined up on the river from a distance. A large number of troops were either on foot or in vehicles, from simple to
On the road to the ferry, in the wilderness in the distance, two long rows of Leopard II tanks drove forward with thick smoke from their diesel engines.
Around the river crossing point, the propaganda team was beating the Allegro to encourage the officers and soldiers to cross the river. On both wings, fighter planes of the Anjia Army and Air Force were constantly roaring past from west to east in the sky.
The armored command vehicle turned at least two hundred meters away from the ferry and turned into a dense grove.
After the car stopped in the woods, the guard in the front passenger seat got out of the car first and opened the door for Ye Cheng. The troops maintaining order at the ferry in the distance had already discovered this somewhat special convoy. So when Ye Cheng and his party walked out of the woods,
Before I had even walked a few steps, a famous lieutenant colonel came running over with his guards to report.
After listening to the report, Ye Cheng waved his hand: "Continue. Let the troops pass the ferry as soon as possible."
At this time, a group of energetic soldiers passed by Ye Cheng. The ordinary soldiers carried automatic rifles on their backs, the machine gunners held universal machine guns, and each squad platoon had a dedicated person carrying a rocket launcher. Behind them, a group of jeeps and trucks,
While pulling the cannon, Ye Cheng also saw mortar soldiers carrying 50mm and 60mm caliber mortar barrels and bases.
Ye Cheng and Chief of Staff Huang Hanqian looked on. They knew that these were officers and soldiers of the Northeast Front Army. Although their level of mechanization was not as good as that of the tank troops commanded by the two men, their energy and energy were not bad at all. All the soldiers moved towards the body.
Ye Cheng and Huang Hanqian, who were wearing uniforms, paid attention to the salute. Since they were on the battlefield, they did not return the salute. They just nodded slightly to pay tribute to these young officers and soldiers, who were generally around 20 years old.
Ye Cheng and his party came to the Nèn River and saw thick smoke billowing across the river. There were flashes of fire from exploding artillery shells everywhere. The shouts of killing were overwhelming. The troops who had crossed the river were advancing rapidly according to the predetermined plan.
Ye Cheng raised his telescope and saw a huge fortress five or six kilometers northeast of the ferry. It was constantly spraying tongues of flames. Although it was bombarded and flames appeared on the fortress, it still stood tall. There were everywhere in the sky.
It was filled with black gunpowder smoke, and violent explosions could be heard clearly.
At this time, the huge roar of aircraft engines came from the air, and almost everyone subconsciously looked above their heads.
Ye Cheng saw a group of planes descending. He quickly used a telescope to observe carefully. Then he smiled and said to Lieutenant General Huang Hanqian, the chief of staff beside him: "It's our bomber. It seems that it has brought a big guy with it. It is now entering the bombing route."
"
Huang Hanqian was also looking through the telescope: "I wonder if the Air Force can nail this hard nut! As long as this fortress is captured, there will be no obstacles all the way to the south of Qiqihar City!"
The two bombers in the air formed a formation and began to dive at a small angle.
Through the telescope, the commanders of various units watching could clearly see that when the aircraft was less than one meter above the top of the fortress, black bombs separated from the aircraft and hit various strike points of the fortress.
A violent explosion sounded, and a huge aerial bomb hit the top of the fortress, and a huge plume of smoke shot up tens of meters high! In the dazzling flash, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the entire castle was almost covered with falling dust. The pilot They dropped the bombs very accurately, and several bombs hit the center of the fortress accurately!
The second and third batch of bombers swooped down, and the tallest fortress was in the second batch.
oCollapsed in the explosion! When the five batches of planes dropped their bombs, the once majestic fortress group no longer existed, leaving only ruins in the smoke!
The pilots of the Anjia Army were not satisfied with this. Because many of the collapsed ruins were relatively intact, the Japanese army could still rely on the remains of these buildings to resist. Therefore, the bombers did not return immediately and continued to drop bombs. What was thrown back was a silver-colored napalm bomb, not the big one like before.
A dense explosion enveloped the remains of the entire fortress, and then burst into flames all over the sky. Not long after, the entire fortress was wrapped in fire. From a distance, it looked like the burning mountain of flames in myths and legends.
The plains are unobstructed, and the huge power of aircraft bombings shocks the hearts of all people who have never seen such a scene. The power of aerial bomb explosions cannot be compared with ordinary artillery bombardments, and napalm bombs are even more frightening! There are many The soldiers of the Northeast Front Army have never seen such a scene. They feel that their souls are greatly shocked, and their minds are filled with excitement and pride - this is our invincible Air Force!
Not only Anjia officers and soldiers saw this scene, but the Japanese troops in the northern city also saw the huge smoke cloud rising after the violent explosion of the fortress and the flaming hell afterwards, like a huge warning sign reminding the Japanese soldiers - Anjia The army is determined to capture Qiqihar and will do so at all costs!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, under the summer sunshine, the former Russian Consulate building in the south of Qiqihar City lost its former tranquility. Intensive gunfire and explosions turned the place into a hell of blood and fire. !
The infantry of a regiment of the 43rd Group Army were blocked near the intersection of the consulate and Longsha Park. This street leads directly to the city. Going north along the street, you can reach the provincial capital and barracks in the north of Qiqihar City. This area There were originally woods near the area, but they were cut down by the Japanese army. Only short tree stumps were left around, and the view was very wide.
The Japanese army not only built roadblocks on the roads and dug trenches in the forest, but also occupied the Russian Consulate, the only commanding height here. The consulate is as high as five floors, with the top tower over 45 meters high. The Japanese army not only built more than a dozen machine gun positions there, Mortars and infantry artillery were also moved up, becoming the commanding heights, observation posts and fire support points of this defensive zone!
The Japanese army was originally confident in defending this place. In their view, although the Anjiajun had fierce firepower, if they only relied on rocket launchers and other weapons, they would not even be able to get close to the ring-shaped light yellow outer wall of the consulate. The firepower from the commanding heights tightly controlled this place.
Area! The building of the consulate is like other Russian buildings. It is very solid. Direct fire with small weapons has no effect at all. Moreover, it is not only the threat of the Japanese troops stationed in the consulate building and nearby, but it can be clearly seen from the observation posts at high places.
Guide the artillery to conduct shelling in a large area!
However, this confidence was quickly shattered.
More than a dozen helicopters quickly flew to the consulate area. The densely packed honeycomb rocket launchers on both sides of the huge fuselage emitted a deep light. Almost in the blink of an eye, the armed helicopters fired like a rain of fire at the machine gun positions and artillery positions on the top of the consulate.
Meteor-like rockets, followed by violent flames on the top of the building, and explosions sounded one after another. After a round of ruthless baptism of rockets, these machine gun and artillery positions could only use the remaining sandbags to prove their existence.
Subsequently, the armed helicopters struck many fire points in the building. The Anjia Army infantry shouted and rushed into the consulate's yard, entered the building, and engaged in close combat with the Japanese troops. At this time, the armed helicopter group circled the consulate building.
After several rounds, it flew to other places for fire support.
Fierce exchanges of fire were taking place all over the city of Qiqihar. The firepower points built by the Japanese army on North-South Street, Xinfang Street and other places were emitting smoke or violent explosions. Anjiajun's armed helicopters and ground tanks cooperated with each other to attack these fire points one by one.
The defense fortifications launched targeted clearing operations, and each firepower point was wiped out in the attack.
After a day and night of fighting, at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the Japanese troops in Qiqihar were completely wiped out by the First Army. The 149th Division and a Japanese garrison stationed in Qiqihar were wiped out, leaving only two Japanese troops of more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers.
More than a thousand prisoners, 20,000 puppet Manchu troops and 11,000 surrendered, and the most important city north of the Songhua River was finally recovered.
