The shuttle bombing did not stop, and as soon as the two groups of bombers that took off from Yantai and other airfields landed in southern Liaoning, the bomber groups at the southern Liaoning airfield took off. Originally, there was no airfield in southern Liaoning that could take off and land four-engine bombers, and this behemoth needed more than two kilometers of runway to take off and land. Even after emergency reconstruction, the cement runway of Liaonan Airport is only 1,500 meters long. The next nearly 1,000 kilometers of runway were covered with thick steel plates.

Xiang Fei, deputy commander of the Air Force, sat at the airport in southern Liaoning, and Xiang Fei sincerely admired Chen Ke, chairman of the Central Military Commission, for his generosity. The steel plate comes from Anshan Iron and Steel, and the Northeast industry has developed rapidly after the liberation, especially the Anshan Iron and Steel Group has the foundation of Manchurian Iron, and the development speed is faster. Even so, seeing that the silver-gray metal runway did not bend and sink at all under the weight of the plane, Xiang Fei felt great pride for the first time as a soldier of an industrial country.

"Did you kill the Japanese airport?" Xiang Fei asked the commander of the Air Force's bomber unit.

The commander of the bomber unit replied excitedly: "Report to the commander, at least five or six bombs have been hit on the runway." We've taken pictures. Even if the Japanese airport can't be completely rendered useless this time, the airport will definitely not be able to withstand the next few rounds. ”

The preferred purpose of bombing is inevitably to destroy the enemy's combat capability, and once destroyed, it can relieve many troubles in the future. Rocket artillery covered fire can't take out all the enemy's important targets, so it's the turn of the air force to strike.

The commander then said regretfully: "But we are quite disappointed that we were not able to bomb the Japanese warship this time." I'll definitely try to blow it up next time. ”

"Don't say that, don't think that!" Xiang Fei immediately replied: "According to the order, our plane will not be able to withstand a single shot, don't think too much." The lives of comrades are the most important, and now is not the time to fight hard. ”

"Yes!" The commander of the bomber group immediately replied, "I'll prepare for takeoff now." ”

Watching the behemoths on the airport slowly turn around, Xiang Fei's heart was full of pride. With such war strength, we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese army and recover the country.

The Air Force could stay away from the enemy, while the Army had to fight the Japanese with bayonets. On the position leading to the fortress of Arthur, a pulled tricycle formed a mobile unit. This is the kind of diesel-powered three-wheeled wheels that were common in the mountainous areas of later generations, and can pull several tons of materials at a time. Ideal for driving in undulating areas.

"Party members and Komsomol members drove, and the comrades in the car immediately jumped out of the car when they saw that something was wrong. Did you hear that? The commander shouted, "I said one last time, when something is wrong, comrades immediately jump out of the car to protect themselves." ”

Attacking a fortress is not done with a rifle, and a bullet with a diameter of less than a centimeter is useless when it hits a solid cement. There must be offensive equipment. Carrying heavy fortified equipment to the front line by manpower will take a lot of time and even more manpower in the transportation process alone. No matter how fast New China develops, it is not capable of building tanks in World War II. So the improvised motorized tricycle was an important transport force for this assault.

After listening to the commander's shouting, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

"Then get in the car and go!" The commander shouted, and he himself jumped into the compartment of a tricycle very far ahead. There were already flares and other things piled up inside, and eleven soldiers from a squad jumped onto the tricycle. The teams behind boarded their own transport vehicles in the convoy according to their own formation.

The red flag on the commander's car was raised high and waved vigorously, which was the signal for the attack, and the convoy moved forward like a long dragon waking up from its slumber.

The vanguard officers opened roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, and the vanguard penetrated deep into the enemy's defensive position, not to let them rush to the enemy's position, but to control the starting point of the next step. The real offense is not their specialty, and the offense has to rely on more well-equipped troops. In addition to the soldiers, each compartment was stacked with bullets and other supplies. The heavy firepower unit also has a variety of small-caliber siege artillery as well as ammunition. The engineering unit also brought some engineering equipment and steel plates and other laying materials.

The compartments of these tricycles themselves are also removable, and once they are in position, the partitions are removed and thrown on the position to pave the road for a more vehicular situation. In the further back units, there are still 50 guns, 75 guns and 105 guns, since the fight is started, there is no need to leave any behind.

On the way there were not only three-wheeled convoys, but also quite a few infantry. Seeing the convoy rushing towards it, the troops immediately turned to the more difficult road to move on. Only the sappers continued to repair an improvised road that would allow motor vehicles to move on.

By this time it was already dawning, and the Japanese artillery had already begun to shoot at the advancing positions of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. The rocket artillery of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army immediately began to suppress the return fire. The possible direction of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's march was not to drop a single shell, and the Arthur fortress was constantly rising in patches of smoke. In such a counterfire, a shell could fly over and hit the convoy at any moment. After all, tricycles are not a small target, and the Japanese army will not turn a blind eye to the convoy.

But the drivers didn't hesitate and increased their speed to the maximum speed the road allowed. Most of the comrades of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army came from the countryside, and many of them had experience driving such vehicles even before joining the army. On the contrary, the comrades in the car felt that the tricycle was undulating like a boat on the waves. Many places seem to be about to topple. But everyone knows that this is an illusion, if it does not move, there is no problem with the vehicle, but once the comrades in the car move, it is easy to cause problems. The comrades clung to the vehicle and tried to maintain their bodies in their original position. At the same time, they also use their legs against the equipment and ammunition contained in the car, so that these things can also maintain their original positions.

Sure enough, the Japanese discovered the team and quickly approached the fortress. Without much thought, the Japanese army would have known what it meant for the enemy to be close to them. But this unit was as slippery as a cunning fish, and it was not simply caught by Japanese artillery.

The Fort Arthur consisted of more than 40 fortress complexes, and more than 70 batteries, all of which were protected by barbed wire, traps, mines, and a large number of infantry bunkers. The overlay fire of the rocket artillery reduced all barbed wire, traps, minefields, and infantry bunkers to dust, except for semi-permanent forts and batteries. The power of steel and fire of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army undermined the Japanese army's defense plans. The semi-permanent firing points, which were still immovable, were all hit by concentrated attacks by rocket artillery units. These firing points have to face a problem of probability, if a weapon with a large killing area such as rocket artillery keeps hitting it, then even the smallest muzzle will encounter the possibility of being hit. Not to mention the fact that the rocket artillery of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not just have a burst warhead, nor was it a launcher that could only be used as a gas bomb.

The convoy was located at a great distance from the battery, and only large-caliber artillery could hit. When the Japanese artillery adjusted the parameters according to the firing table and prepared to deal a devastating blow to the distant convoy, a new round of artillery flew violently towards the Japanese battery, and some of them exploded in volley. After the explosion, it was not only shrapnel that rushed into the surroundings like a storm, but also a large number of steel balls that were instantly heated to the point of red by the explosion high, and large pieces flew around.

When the dense steel balls flew towards the fort, the Japanese troops hiding in the fort were no longer safe and sound. Some unlucky enough Japanese soldiers were shot through the chest of their heads directly by steel balls, and their bodies fell softly. Some of the unlucky ones were not killed for a while, but they were seriously injured. Fell to the ground amid screams. The shooting was interrupted in an instant. Only a few shells flew towards the convoy.
