The Japanese plane group circled in the air for a while, and saw that Lianhua Mountain was very calm, and the calm was somewhat abnormal, and the Japanese commander ordered the front team to bomb tentatively first. Dozens of planes dropped bombs on Lianhua Mountain at an altitude of 1,000 meters, and the Japanese commander carefully watched the movement of Lianhua Mountain and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he ordered the three aircraft groups in the front and rear to carry out the bombing mission of Lianhua Mountain.

"The little devil has finally lost his patience, and ordered the anti-aircraft artillery arrays in the east, west, south, south, and middle to shoot with all their might, and be sure to destroy all enemy planes!" Qiao Xinyu clenched his fists and gave orders fiercely.

After the soldiers who gave the order walked out, Shen Yushan said with a smile: "Political commissar, don't be nervous, the flight altitude of the little devil's plane has dropped to less than one thousand meters, maybe they never dreamed that our anti-aircraft guns can reach a range of 1,200 meters after being improved, can they run away?" ”

Qiao Xinyu let go of his fist, and his face, which was tense due to nervousness, slowly relaxed, with a confident smile.

When the front group of Japanese planes flew over the top of Lianhua Mountain, nearly 100 shells were fired from the antiaircraft artillery array in the west, and in the face of the sudden attack, several planes were hit and fell, and the planes that were lucky enough to avoid shooting also hurriedly rose into the air or fled to both sides.

The squadron and the rear group, at first thought that the explosion was from the shells bombing Lotus Mountain, when they learned that it was the front team that was attacked, they immediately prepared to flee this dangerous area, but they did not have time to react, countless tongues of fire rose on Lotus Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, several planes of the squadron and the rear team were also hit.

"Hey, it's still a waste of this anti-aircraft artillery to hit planes, a round of 300 shells only hit less than 20 planes, I hope there won't be too many enemy planes escaping this time."

"My big political commissar, a few years ago, we were almost helpless in the face of devils' planes, and occasionally we were able to shoot down one, which was enough for everyone to be happy for a long time. Besides, our five artillery arrays have only launched part of three at present, and when all five artillery arrays are launched, the fire will cross horizontally, basically covering all the altitudes below 1,200 meters, and even if the devil's planes can escape, there will never be too many. Shen Yushan took down the telescope and said to Qiao Xinyu helplessly.

Qiao Xinyu knew that Shen Yushan was telling the truth, in the early years, the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas everywhere had almost no way to think in the face of the devil's air superiority, and he didn't dare to imagine that they could achieve the result of annihilating dozens or hundreds of devils in one fell swoop. The reason why he was a little anxious was that he was worried that the devil's plane would escape too much, leaving hidden dangers for the subsequent defense of Changchun.

The main purpose of Lin Junxiong's failure to expose the Laochao Lianhua Mountain base was to lure the devil's plane to come and destroy the last air power of the Kwantung Army in the northeast, and of course, to attract the Japanese army out of Changchun, so as to take Changchun and defend Changchun afterwards. Although Lin Junxiong didn't put any pressure on Qiao Xinyu, Qiao Xinyu tried his best to annihilate the devil's air force.

"Order all three artillery arrays in the east and west to open fire to intercept the devil fighter's attempt to escape into the air!" The three artillery arrays were only launched at medium and low altitudes before, and Qiao Xinyu saw the devil's intention in the telescope, and ordered the anti-aircraft guns with a range of 1,200 meters to launch to block the devil's attempt to rise into the air.

The launch of the high-altitude anti-aircraft guns shocked the Japanese pilots, who were far from expecting that the range of the antiaircraft guns of the New First Army would reach such a height, and most of the enemy planes that rose into the air were hit, and the planes that were not hit looked at the shells above and did not dare to fly upwards again, so they could only fly to both sides.

The Japanese planes, which were basically at an altitude of 800 meters, panicked after the sky above them became unsafe, and the Japanese commander immediately ordered the remaining fighters to disperse and retreat to the north and south.

With the launch of the two antiaircraft artillery arrays in the north and south, the sky within a radius of 20 kilometers centered on Lianhua Mountain became a nightmare for the Japanese planes, and the fire of the antiaircraft guns at three ranges, high, medium, and low, made many devil pilots feel that there was no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the ground.

The air purgatory lasted less than fifteen minutes, and less than thirty of the more than one hundred Japanese planes were still fleeing for their lives, Qiao Xinyu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, at most ten minutes, and the remaining thirty or so Japanese fighters could not escape the doom of annihilation.

Looking at the smoke and artillery fire that filled the sky, he wanted to fight desperately but had no passage, and he knew that if this continued, the planes participating in the bombing mission would be completely annihilated, and the Japanese commander ordered the remaining fighters to suicidally rise from all sides, while he and another command plane rose from the middle. More than 30 fighter planes were constantly bombarded and exploded by artillery fire in the surrounding area, and the Japanese commander had no time to take care of it, and desperately drove the fighter planes up into the sky.

Seeing that the altitude was about to reach 1,200 meters, and there was basically no artillery fire going up, he was about to escape by chance, which made him feel relieved. Suddenly, two shells collided together in the sky above the fighter plane, one south and one north, he immediately let the plane brake sharply in the air, and it was too late to rejoice, another command plane below crashed into it rapidly, it turned out that the command plane found two shells flying over, and wanted to raise to dodge, but unexpectedly, the plane piloted by the commander above suddenly stopped, the two planes collided together, the smoke from the explosion in the sky dissipated, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ground gradually stopped, and the sky regained its tranquility again, just the smoke left by the explosion of more than 100 devil fighters, It filled the entire sky, giving the sky a gray color.

On 9 November, the commotion in Changchun was even worse; yesterday morning the last air force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast was completely annihilated by the New First Army in the Lianhua Mountain area; last night, the New First Army encircled Changchun from the south, west, and north, and several shells exploded outside the city every hour.

Throughout the morning, many Changchun residents who could not withstand the torture of artillery fire began to pour out of the city through various connections. After the Kwantung Army Headquarters issued an order to hold on, many high-ranking officials of the puppet Manchukuo also realized that the rumors of the New First Army attacking Changchun were true, and after being tossed by the artillery fire outside Changchun City all night, they secretly planned to retreat.

Wu Dafang organized five teams of men and horses scattered in five directions, east, west, south, south, and middle, and secretly attacked the police and garrison on the one hand, and incited the people to spread rumors that the New First Army was going to launch a general attack on Changchun in the evening.

There were originally nearly 30,000 Changchun garrisons, but by the afternoon of the 9th, there were less than 20,000 left, and seeing that Changchun was hopeless, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo quietly withdrew from the north in the evening with his cronies and more than 10,000 garrisons.

On the evening of November 9, Lin Junxiong entered Changchun from Andingmen with Feng Zhansong and Wang Lianfang's 111th Division. Hua Wei has already reverted to his real name, and the Japanese army in Andingmen has been smuggled by him to the location of the former Japanese army airfield in Jingyuetan last night, and all of them have been wiped out with the cooperation of Wang Bangzi. The moment Hua Wei saw Lin Junxiong, he burst into tears with excitement, and almost knelt down for Lin Junxiong, while repenting of his past, he vowed to change his mind and work with the New First Army to recover the Northeast.

As he was likely to face a Japanese Kwantung Army's onslaught on Changchun, Hayashi asked the New First Army north of Changchun to make way for the fleeing Manchukuo troops. The puppet Manchukuo relied on his Japanese masters, and as long as the Japanese were driven out of the northeast, the puppet Manchukuo that had lost its support would also collapse.

There is another reason in Lin Junxiong's mind to let the puppet Manchukuo leave, that is, the puppet Manchukuo are also Chinese, and before the Japanese devils have driven out of China, Lin Junxiong does not want to point his guns at the Chinese, even if they are heinous. As for the fact that after the devils are driven away, perhaps history will continue to move forward along the original trajectory, and the Kuomintang reactionaries will still start a civil war without hesitation, and whether they will pick up the gun in their hands and work hard for the new pattern of China at that time depends on how the Party Central Committee arranges it.

When Hayashi Toshio quietly led his troops into Changchun, Umezu Mijiro was furious in the conference room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

"Baga, Pu Yi, this bastard, actually abandoned Changchun and fled with the garrison! Baga, fortunately, there are still more than a thousand imperial warriors in the city, and thousands of garrisons loyal to the empire, hoping to hold it for a few days. After scolding for a while, Umezu Mijiro turned to an officer and asked, "How many days will the troops from the north arrive?" ”

"Your Excellency General, the troops in the north will not be able to reach Harbin in ten days, and if they reach Changchun, it will take at least half a month."

"Why so long, Baga, order them to speed up their march." Umezu Yoshijiro wanted to scold the officer, but in a flash, he remembered that he seemed to have ordered the troops in the north not to speed up the march, so he immediately ordered the other two divisions to approach Changchun first, to ensure that the road was clear, so that the march could be accelerated when the large army arrived.

Lin Junxiong ordered the troops of the Sixth Column in the northwest and two directions to also enter the city, and with the cooperation of the inside and outside and the superiority of numbers, by the early hours of the morning, the New First Army had completely controlled Changchun, and the troops, with the assistance of the detachments sent by Wu Dafang, carried out an inventory of Changchun overnight.

"Commander, under your planning, Changchun can be regarded as outwitted, it is too easy to take, Changchun is my homeland, thank you for letting me get my wish, let me lead the troops to recover Changchun." Feng Zhansong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Lin Junxiong gratefully.

"Brother Feng, if you can take Changchun, one is that the devils are too greedy, after I threw out the bait of the Lotus Mountain base, they want to end our new first army's lair, so that the troops in Changchun City are empty; Second, the mass offensive launched by the underground party comrades of our party made the people in Changchun City panic; The third is that the top brass of the Kwantung Army guessed our intentions and let the defenders of Changchun hold on, although the original intention was not wrong, but it became the last straw that crushed the puppet Manchukuo, and the reinforcements could not be rushed, so Pu Yi led the garrison to fight with us, and he did not dare. ”

Lin Junxiong then continued with a solemn face: "So Changchun can be easily taken, but it will not be easy to defend, and then I will do my best to make defensive deployments, as for An Min and other things, it will depend on Brother Feng, after all, you used to be the commander of the Jilin Self-Defense Army." ”

Feng Zhansong nodded solemnly.
