December 13, 1944, is the 28th day of the tenth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
It has been snowing heavily for a week, and yesterday the snowflakes gradually became lighter. The sky cleared up in the early morning. After eight o'clock in the morning, the rising sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, illuminating the snow-covered earth in an enchanting way.
At around 2:30 in the afternoon, the sun has already set in the west on Sakhalin Island, which is located at about 50 degrees north latitude. As dusk and clouds emerge, the sky will darken in another two hours. In a short period of time, this island in Northeast Asia will
The island will be plunged into long darkness.
At three o'clock sharp, a fleet of aircraft taking off from the airports in Temple Street, Khabarovsk, Youth City (former Komsomolsk), etc. gathered over the Resuscitation Port (former Soviet Port), and then flew towards the northeastern port of Alexandrovsk.
Going to Sakhalin Island, the Japanese army discovered the large-scale invading aircraft fleet through cleverly concealed and camouflaged land-based radars, and quickly reported the situation to the headquarters in Fengyuan City (another name for Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk during the Japanese occupation).
Since the liberation of the Far East, Anjia Army air raids on Sakhalin Island have become commonplace in the past two years. With their excellent performance, Anjia Army Air Force fighter jets, fighter jets, and bombers often fly in groups to bomb important targets on Sakhalin Island.
After entering November this year, the arrival of severe cold weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Anjia Army Air Force for air strikes. The bombing of Sakhalin Island became more dense and more intense. The Japanese army speculated that the Anjia Army's general offensive would be in the near future and gradually intensified the attack.
The vigilance of the Coast Guard.
Having a premonition that this might be the first wave of air strikes launched by the Anjia Army in the sea-crossing campaign, the Japanese commander, Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi, had to bite the bullet and dispatch more than two hundred carefully preserved "Falcon", "Zero" and
"Gale" fighter jets took off to fight.
Colonel Xiang Shuang, who was driving an A33F fighter jet, led ten fighter squadrons and was responsible for clearing the way for the fleet. When the Japanese fleet flew to a distance of 30 kilometers from our own fleet, the pilots immediately discovered the aircraft in the clouds through the radar warning receiver.
Hidden and sometimes visible traces of Japanese fighter planes.
As the First Flying Group expanded again and a group of new pilots were assigned from the reserve pilot division, Xiang Shuang had to give an advance warning and loudly remind him of the tactical essentials into his headset:
"Comrade, stay calm, don't be anxious, follow the usual shooting instructions, slowly push the joystick and dive downward. Pay attention to the rangefinder to stabilize it. Aim at the target before shooting!"
When the fighters at the head of the two groups approached a thousand meters away, Second Lieutenant Huang Zekai, who had just joined the 1st Flying Group of the 11th Aircraft Division from the 18th Reserve Pilot Division, followed the main aircraft in front of him and dived down from the high altitude.
To the Japanese military aircraft group, and then pressed the launch button according to the usual training instructions.
Just listen to the continuous sound of "dong dong", and a series of 20 mm caliber aircraft cannon shells were fired at the enemy aircraft formation like meteors.
Huang Zekai was lucky, and his first shot hit the Japanese Army Air Force's "Falcon" fighter jet below. The "Falcon" and "Zero" fighter jets were worthy of their nicknames of air lighters, and were quickly set on fire.
It rolled several times in the air and exploded in the air.
"Little Golden Flower" Yang Caiqi, who served as the host of Second Lieutenant Huang Zekai, is now a dignified air force major and the squadron leader of the 8th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Flying Group. Another "Gale" fighter she attacked was shot by dozens of missiles in succession.
2
The 0mm aerial cannon shell hit. Even though the "Gale" fighter was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, it could not withstand such a violent blow, dragging a long black smoke. It roared headlong into the frozen land thousands of miles below, and then "boomed"
"There was a violent explosion.
During the melee, a "Leifeng" fighter jet was damaged, trailing long black smoke and swaying like a drunkard. The Japanese pilot obviously had no intention of returning. The "Leifeng" struggled hard in the air.
, trying to find an opportunity to die together with the Anjia Army Air Force fighter planes.
Captain Li Qionghua, who once served as the wingman of the "Little Golden Flower", had bad luck before. When the enemy aircraft dived to attack, the enemy aircraft immediately made a snake-like evasion. As a result, a series of cannon shells were missed, and the wingman pilot who followed her attack also lost nothing. She was disgraced.
.
Seeing an opportunity this time, Captain Li Qionghua immediately rushed forward desperately, locked the injured "Gale" fighter firmly in the scope, and quickly pressed the cannon button 450 meters away from the enemy plane.
The four 20mm guns on the nose of the aircraft opened fire in unison, and the dense shells instantly broke the right wing of the "Gale" fighter.
The "Gale" fighter jet, which had lost one of its wings, was like a high-speed spinning top, making a shrill cry in the air, quickly rushing towards the snow-covered ground, and violently exploding.
Li Qionghua breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found that her master "Little Golden Flower" was at the back and top of her plane at the moment, firing four anti-air rockets. She looked with some surprise at the direction of the rockets that sprayed orange tail flames.
,1100 meters ahead, a low-flying "Zero" fighter exploded in the field of vision.
Li Qionghua pursed his lips and smiled. While carefully searching for traces of Japanese fighter planes, he used the radio to say to his master: "Sister Caiqi, you did a great job! I don't think you activated the fire control system? At such a long distance, you can shoot directly with rockets."
Hit the target, good technique!"
"Haha, I'm just lucky. I predicted that the guy might fly to the left and shot there in advance, and it worked!" Yang Caiqi's happy voice came.
In close air combat, because the enemy will make various maneuvers, if the computer analyzes and then fires, it will often delay the fighter. Therefore, advanced fire control systems are more used to attack distant targets.
It's amazing for someone like Yang Caiqi to rely on experience to predict and hit his opponent at close range!
Li Qionghua still wanted to say a few words when he suddenly discovered that two kilometers ahead on the right, a "Zero" fighter jet turned around and wanted to run away. He immediately accelerated and flew over. In just over twenty seconds, the distance between them had been reduced to five seconds.
100 meters, and then continuously fired at the enemy aircraft.
Dense barrages poured out, and the enemy planes swayed left and right, always avoiding the shells at the last moment. Just when Li Qionghua clenched his silver teeth and his pretty face turned red, there was a sudden flash of fire, and this "Zero"
The fighter jet rolled down from mid-air, filled with black smoke and fire.
Li Qionghua looked at the record and found that he had not shot down the fighter plane. Then he heard the laughter of the wingman pilot Second Lieutenant Xu Jing from the earphones, and immediately knew that it was his fellow countryman, an 18-year-old boy from Yiling, Hubei Province.
The girl got mad and immediately encouraged her: "Xiao Jing, you did a good job! You won the first battle!"
Xu Jing said cheerfully: "I saw that Sister Qionghua's firepower density was not enough, so I rushed to help. I didn't expect that the Japanese fighter plane would hit my shells on its own..."
At this time, the voice of the team leader, Colonel Xiang Shuang, suddenly came from the speakers on the bridge: "The Japanese fighter planes hid in the clouds. Everyone, keep the flying altitude and pay attention to the direction indicated by the radar!"
Li Qionghua and Xu Jing were both stunned. They first looked around cautiously, but found no trace of Japanese fighter planes. Then they looked at the electronic display on the bridge.
On the electronic display screen, the red dots representing the Japanese fighter planes scanned by radar waves were still flashing continuously, but the target could not be seen in the air. The two female pilots looked around again, and then, as usual training,
Pull down the helmet sight. Open the fire control center.
Although the clouds in the twilight can block the sun and people's sight, the radar can clearly display the enemy aircraft under the clouds. After discovering the target through the radar warning receiver and thermal imaging system, Captain Li Qionghua immediately connected the helmet to aim.
The indicator light started flashing continuously, pointing to the direction of the target.
Li Qionghua held his breath and kept turning his head according to the light instructions. As the helmet sight turned, the fire control center began to work, continuously obtaining the target's coordinate data relative to the aircraft's position, and transmitting these changing data again and again.
Computer center for fire control system.
After the computer center quickly processes the data, it immediately outputs aiming instructions such as direction and pitch angle, and corrects the flight attitude through the automatic control system. It controls the airborne weapon system to aim at the target.
A minute later, when the halo in the scope was completely aligned, the target indicator light suddenly went out. Li Qionghua knew that she could launch an attack. She pressed the launch button of the rocket nest without thinking. Four anti-air rockets were hung from the belly of the aircraft.
The rocket launch nest rushed out, carrying a brilliant tail flame, and flew towards the target 4.5 kilometers away diagonally below.
One of the rockets hit the target accurately, penetrating from the upper part of the cabin of the locked "Gale" fighter jet. The head of the Japanese Army Aviation Corps Commander Maki Nakano, who was leading the battle this time, exploded instantly, and his brains were blown away.
Splash. The body was blown to pieces, the entire cockpit was filled with flesh and blood, and then the "Gale" lost control and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Colonel Xiang Shuang, the commander of the flight group, also turned his head, captured the target through the helmet sight, and locked on a "Zero" fighter jet.
After the fire control system tracked and locked, Xiang Shuang pressed the launch button, and the four rockets were like a fire dragon, quickly devouring opponents five kilometers away.
The Japanese fighter planes flying in an echelon were in chaos. Although the forward fighters had failed, the follow-up fighter planes were still seven or eight kilometers away from the battlefield. Due to the obstruction of the clouds, they did not discover where the attacking planes were. They watched the fighter planes around them turn into fireballs inexplicably.
, fled in a hurry.
The formation of Japanese fighter planes was in chaos, which took advantage of the wishes of the pilots of the Anjia Army Air Force.
You must know that the top speed of the A33F fighter jet reached an astonishing Mach 1.5, and it was easy to pursue these stragglers of the Japanese aviation force who had lost their organization and cover.
Under the lock of the radar, A33F fighter jets flew towards their respective prey like arrows. When the speed exceeded the speed of sound, there was no need to use artillery shells to attack. As long as the fighter jets passed by the Japanese fighter jets at supersonic speed, the powerful
The sonic boom created a huge pulling force, and those "Falcon" and "Zero" fighter jets with unreliable structures disintegrated in the air.
The relatively strong "Gale Wind" was helpless when faced with the A33F fighter jets whose speed and performance were far superior to its own. They exploded in the air or fell to the ground.
After only half an hour, the Japanese attack fleet was completely wiped out, and the Anjiajun Air Force only paid the price of eighteen fighter planes crashing.
At this time, a large number of armed and transport helicopters entered the airspace of Sakhalin Island immediately after the group. They will shoulder the important task of searching and rescuing the crashed pilot!
After tearing apart the Japanese air interception network, the fleet continued to fly north and successfully arrived at the southeastern area of Pogibi Town, about 170 kilometers north of Alexandrovsk. The dense bomber group headed northwest towards the Japanese defenses along the Pogibi coast.
Make dense coverage.
Huge aerial bombs fell from the sky with a huge roar, blasting the ice-covered ground into craters, like the surface of the moon.
When the Japanese troops retreated into underground bunkers, about two hundred Yii transport planes at the rear of the fleet lowered their altitude. When they were seven or eight hundred meters in the air, the cabin door opened, and elite paratroopers wearing thick snow-white cotton clothes and trousers jumped out of the cabin.
After landing, the parachutes in the air bloomed one after another, and two hundred Yii transport planes delivered two airborne divisions, each with a tank regiment and an armored regiment, to the heart of the Japanese army in one breath.
At this time, the Japanese army was already at a loss. At first, its headquarters thought that the location of the Anjia Army's attack would be Alexandrovsk, so Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi, commander of the Japanese 56th Army, immediately ordered the northern and southern armies to move closer there.
, who knew that the Anjiajun air force fleet flew to the north with a false shot, and began to bomb the fortifications along the Pogibi coast.
At this point, Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi understood that the Pogibe line of defense in the narrowest area of the entire Tartar Strait was the main crossing point for the Anjia Army. However, since the Anjia Army had already implemented radio shielding on Sakhalin Island in time, he wanted to contact him again.
By the time we got to the various ministries, it was already too late.
Therefore, the airborne operations of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Airborne Divisions of the Sixth Airborne Army formed by the Anjia Army based on the Andong Military Region and the Mongolian Military Region went very smoothly. Before the Japanese army on the front could react, fifteen thousand officers and soldiers and more than three hundred
The combat vehicle has landed safely on the ground.
The officers and soldiers who grew up in severe cold areas were not afraid of the low temperature of minus 20 degrees. They quickly cut the parachute ropes with daggers, quickly gathered personnel, and collected the airborne tanks, tanks, self-propelled artillery and mortars that landed with the paratroopers.
, general machine guns, recoilless rifles, 105mm mountain grenades, 107mm rocket launchers and other heavy weapons.
The ground battle started at 4:30 in the afternoon. The paratrooper troops of the two divisions gathered their troops slightly and rushed towards the northwest coastline.
The main defense focus of the Japanese army on the Pogibi coastal defense line is in the west facing the Tatar Strait. Its eastern and southeastern defenses are extremely weak. It had suffered heavy losses from the fierce bombing by the Anjia Army Air Force before, and now it suddenly faced a fierce attack from behind.
It didn't take long for the defense line held by the two regiments to be completely broken through.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the remaining Japanese troops guarding the town of Pogiby were completely wiped out, and the Japanese troops who came for reinforcements from Qingai, Neftegorsk, Var and other places were ambushed by Anjia army paratroopers and collapsed one after another.
On the other side of the Tartar Strait, the 31st, 33rd, and 37th Army Groups that set out from Confucius City were responsible for the first batch of beach landing troops. The officers and soldiers were already sitting in transport trucks and tanks that had been treated with anti-freeze and anti-slip treatment.
, heading towards Bogibi Beach.
At nine o'clock that night, the main forces of the three group armies successfully landed ashore under the support of the airborne troops. Admiral Hu Jiyang, deputy commander of the Andong Military Region in charge of the battle, immediately established the former enemy headquarters in Pogibi Town. At ten thirty the next morning
, Var Town, located on the east coast of Sakhalin Island, was liberated. Before sunset in the afternoon, Chingai and Rybnovsk on the other side of Temple Street were liberated successively, and the Anjia army's crossing points increased to three.
On the 15th, Okha, an important oil town in the north of Sakhalin Island, was liberated. Nogliki, another oil producing area located at the mouth of the Temi River, had been captured as early as the early morning of the day before. By the early morning of the 16th, the forward troops of the Anjia Army had captured Temi.
The town of Temovskoye at the source of the river.
From the beginning of the Sakhalin War, the Anjia Army used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, cleaning up all the strategic points of the Japanese army on this island covering an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, and constantly pushed the war southward.
