Chapter 718: The First Wave of Air Raids
"Jingle Bell ......"
A rapid bell rang in the bedroom, waking up Umezu Mijiro, who was sleeping soundly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Yaga, what kind of bastard called so early!"
Umezu Mijiro scolded and pushed a delicate ketone body in his arms to the side and sat up, last night, he had a little fun with a female junior high school student who had just come from Tokyo and was not yet sixteen years old, and he didn't sleep until more than two o'clock in the morning, plus he was a little older, and his energy was naturally not as strong as before, so once he overplayed it, it was easy to become listless the next day.
He turned on the light, the bright light illuminating Umezu Mijiro's scrawny body very clearly, and he grabbed the microphone at the head of the bed, swearing that if nothing particularly important, he would make the person who dared to disturb his sleep look good.
"Moses Moses, I'm Umezu Mijiro, what the hell happened? Nani? ”
After just a few seconds, Umezu Mijiro's face immediately turned pale, and he immediately shouted into the microphone when he felt that his brain was blank: "Yaga Yalu, I don't care what method you use, immediately call all the officers of all departments of the headquarters to the conference hall within ten minutes, otherwise I will shoot you!" ”
The effectiveness of the Japanese army was still very high, and in less than ten minutes, almost all the officers who could arrive rushed to the conference room. In addition to Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, there were more than 20 people, including Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, chief of staff, Major General Junhisa Ikeda, deputy chief of staff, Masao Terada, chief of the first senior staff section, Takushiro Hattori, chief of staff of operations, Toshio Nishimura, chief of the second section of the intelligence chief, Kajiro Muranaka, chief of the third section of the rear chief of staff, Tetsusa Koo, chief of the fourth section of the chief of staff of the policy director, Major General Kenichi Kamata, commander of the Continental Railway, and Yujiro Wakamatsu, director of the epidemic prevention and water supply department.
Looking at the more than twenty people who had already packed the conference room, Umezu Mijiro said his opening remarks with a calm face.
"Gentlemen, just ten minutes ago, the Huludao Garrison Command sent an urgent telegram, they have just been attacked by the Zhina, all the warships in the Huludao port have been destroyed, and the defenders have suffered heavy losses, now the Zhina people have captured the port of Huludao, and a large number of soldiers of the Third Group Army of the China have landed in Huludao, I don't know if you have any good suggestions?"
Speaking of this, Umezu Mijiro stopped and glanced at the people present with a gloomy look, and he found quite a few people.
The people present were all high-ranking members of the Kwantung Army, and they naturally knew the news that had just happened through various channels before the meeting. The faces of the vast majority of people are naturally how ugly and ugly they are, but there are also people who are very worried in their hearts, and this is Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, the chief of staff.
Yoshimoto Sadachi understood in his heart that the reason why Umezu Mijiro's face was so ugly was not because of the sneak attack launched by Su Jin, but because his "prophecy" was broken. Just a few days ago, he swore that the Huaxia people would not attack the Northeast as long as their brains were not burned out, but the other party gave him a hard slap in the face, which was naturally extremely uncomfortable for the arrogant Umezu Mijiro, especially after seeing that many people in the conference room had strange faces, his mood was even more worried.
As a chief of staff, in addition to helping his boss formulate a battle plan, he must also be able to help relieve the siege, this is a qualified assistant, seeing that Umezu Mijiro was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, although Su Jin, the butcher and his Third Army, have been famous in the Guannai over the years, but I think this is just a group of ignorant people boasting, he has no other skills except to throw special ammunition and rely on heavy artillery and chariots." This time he dared to invade Manchuria, and on the surface it seemed that he took us by surprise when our Kwantung Army was confronting the Soviets, but in fact it was the most stupid move. As long as he dares to attack, we will be sure that all the invading Chinese troops will be wiped out on the land of Manchuria! ”
"Yo Xi!"
Hearing that his chief of staff bragged about helping him to break the siege like this, Umezu Mijiro's face also looked a little better, and his face eased before he said: "Yoshimoto-kun is right, Manchuria is different from Kannai, and if Su Jin wants to invade Manchuria, he has to ask us if the millions of Kwantung athletes agree." But since he's here, don't go. Yoshimoto-kun, you immediately sent my order, and the 2nd Air Force immediately dispatched to bomb all the landing forces and warships on Huludao. Then he ordered the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 119th Division stationed in Yingkou to immediately advance at full speed to Huludao, and the Third Army of China must be wiped out in Huludao! ”
"Hay!"
Everyone present stood up in unison and bowed to Umezu Mijiro.
After everyone dispersed, Yoshimoto Sadachi stayed behind and said to Umezu Mijiro: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the Third Army is killing itself this time, there is an old saying in Shina, there is no vain under the fame, we should be cautious." I don't think the 135th Brigade and the 119th Division alone will be able to eliminate them, but they have a fleet to support them at sea! ”
Umezu Mijiro nodded: "I naturally know this, so I plan to transfer the 10th Division and the 71st Division from Hulunbuir when the war is unfavorable or stalemate, and wipe out these bold Shina people in one sentence!" ”
Yoshimoto Sadachi nodded approvingly, then he remembered something again, clapped his hands violently and said: "Your Excellency Commander, I remember that the day before yesterday, didn't we also transfer the first division of Manchukuo from Xinjing (Changchun), and now that they have arrived in Jinzhou, it is better to let them also launch a counterattack on Huludao?" ”
"That's right!" Yoshimoto Sadaichi's words immediately reminded Umezu Mijiro, and he glanced at his assistant appreciatively: "Yo Xi, Yoshimoto-kun's reminder is very timely, the first division has been trained for so long, it's time for them to gradually bleed." Yoshimoto-kun, you immediately order the 1st Division to advance towards Huludao as fast as possible, and be sure to launch an attack on the Chinese people before tomorrow afternoon! ”
"Hay!"
…………
The battle at the port of Huludao ended in less than an hour.
It cannot be said that the defenders of the harbor were too sloppy, but the attack of the Third Army was too sudden, and the defenders of Huludao were attacked by an overwhelmingly superior force without preparation, and several destroyers and gunboats in the harbor were sent to the bottom of the sea by bombs and torpedoes without warning, and the Japanese did not set up any defensive positions or batteries in the harbor, so that the whole fleet occupied the harbor after the warship was sunk.
Thick black smoke still enveloped the entire port, and several troop carriers and cargo ships were nervously unloading supplies and soldiers at the port. What is unexpected is that in addition to the first infantry regiment to land at the beginning, the next two air defense regiments were unloaded, which was also strongly requested by Su Jin, and he knew how fragile the troops that had just landed were from later generations. Most of his troops were still on board, and it would be a lot of fun if they were bombed by the planes of the Japanese himself, so in addition to sending a squadron of shrew fighters to patrol the sky non-stop, the first thing he did was to set up a ground air defense position.
A M1 90-mm anti-aircraft gun was unloaded from the cargo ship, and anti-aircraft artillery positions began to be set up throughout the port, and the antennas on the SCR-584 radar vehicles began to rotate as well.
At this time, Su Jin, who was still on the escort aircraft carrier Yue Fei and had not yet disembarked, looked at the soldiers who were busy on the dock and felt anxious, he answered the phone call of Zheng Laborde and asked: "Lieutenant General Laborade, can you speed up the unloading, at this time, I am afraid that my plane will visit the dock at any time!" ”
Laborde's cold and somewhat annoyed voice came from the microphone, "Your Excellency, if you have any doubts about my command skills, I suggest that you remove me as fleet commander and replace me with someone you think fit." ”
"Of course not, I believe in your command very much!" Su Jin was taken aback, if this old French man really picked his pick, where would he go to find a naval general who was proficient in naval warfare and command like him.
"Well, for God's sake, if you trust my command, don't push me to speed up."
"Smack!"
After Laborde's words fell, he hung up the phone, leaving only Chief Su who was holding the microphone in a daze.
"Grass, this old man dares to hang up Lao Tzu's phone, doesn't he know that I am his boss?"
Su Jin looked at the soldiers who were busy on the dock and sighed helplessly, in fact, he also knew that Laborde had done his best, many docks in Huludao were damaged in the bombing in the early hours of this morning, and there are only two docks that can still be used normally, and it is actually good to be able to unload so many goods in two hours, but Su Jin is still a little anxious, lest his plane will patronize here.
However, there are some things in this world that are really afraid of anything, just when Su Jin was worried, he heard the staff officer next to him shout: "Report to the commander, the destroyer Pingyuan reported that a large number of Japanese planes were flying a hundred kilometers due north, and the number was about thirty-five. ”
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and sound the air defense alarm!"
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
With the sound of the terrible siren, the shrew fighters who were originally patrolling the sky began to rush in the direction of due north, and Su Jin's order to those planes was very simple, that is, to shoot down this group of Japanese planes as quickly as possible, because he knew very well that this was just the first batch of planes that the Japanese himself attacked, and if he couldn't even kill the first batch of planes, then when the second and third groups of Japanese planes arrived, only death would await this fleet.
The first batch of Japanese planes to attack was the 13th Squadron of the 13th Flying Regiment under the 2nd Air Force of the Japanese Army, this squadron was equipped with 15 Type 4 heavy bombers, 15 Type 1 fighters and 5 latest Zero fighters, after receiving the order directly issued by the headquarters, this squadron immediately rushed towards Huludao with a roar. In his opinion, the planes equipped with the Chinese air force are all the oldest biplanes, and they will definitely disappear under the blows of the latest fighters they are equipped with.
This cannot be said to be arrogant and arrogant, but the Kwantung Army has been in the Northeast for so many years, and has long developed the temper of seeking defeat alone, except for the Soviet Air Force, which can make them look up to it, the air forces of other countries are simply not worth mentioning in their eyes. Although the reputation of the Third Army has also reached their ears over the years, in the eyes of many stubborn people, this is just an excuse for the Japanese army in the Kannai to find for their own defeat, and it is unfortunate that the Wuwei Hidemen belongs to that category.
Piloting the Empire's latest Zero fighter flying at the front of the formation of Wuwei Yingmen, he observed the ground and found that it was less than fifty kilometers away from Huludao, he turned his head to look at the formation behind him, manipulated the plane to shake its wings left and right, signaling the plane behind him to follow closely, and then he pushed the throttle valve, and the Zero fighter went from the cruising speed of 370 km/h to 450 km/h, and the fighters behind also accelerated to follow after seeing Wuwei Yingmen's movements.
Wuwei Yingmen turned on the microphone and said loudly in the public channel: "Everyone, you are about to arrive at Huludao, I hope that you will give full play to the bushido spirit of the Dainichi Empire, and be sure to destroy the warships of the Shina people!" ”
"Hay!"
The voices of the pilots in unison could be heard in the headset.
"It's not good, the fighter plane of the China people has been found ahead!"
At this moment, a Japanese plane on the far right wing of the formation suddenly shouted loudly, and with the alarm of this Japanese plane, dozens of planes painted in blue suddenly appeared in the sky, and I saw these fighters swooping down towards them from a high altitude at a speed of nearly 600 kilometers per hour.
"Meet the enemy!"
As soon as Wuwei Yingmen's words fell, the battle had already begun, and the first to contact the other party were the six Type 1 fighters at the outermost part of the formation.
As soon as the battle began, Wuwei Yingmen was surprised to see that the two Type One fighters were hit by the other side, and after several shining tracer bullets hit their own fighters, the two Type One fighters suddenly turned into two flames in the air, and then fell to the ground with thick smoke.
Gomi Hidemen could see clearly that one of the downed fighters was the fighter plane of his friend, Vice Captain Ono.
"Ono-kun!"
Wuwei Yingmen only felt that his mind was blank, and then shouted angrily.
But on the battlefield, there will never be a trace of other emotions, the opponent's fighter planes don't matter how sad and angry you are in your heart, thirty shrew fighters are like hungry wolves and swoop down towards the flight formation where the five flavors of Yingmen are located, one after another firelight keeps shining in the air, and one plane after another either falls with black smoke or explodes in the air......
