Chapter 1305 The Great Bombing of Shenyang
When Ni Hua returned from the United States, he brought four radar components with him. It was put into use when it was in Dadian, but the Japanese army never discovered that the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region Headquarters were in Dadian, and the radar did not play a role. After arriving in the northeast, the four radars were used separately, one was transported to Lushun, one was transported to Dalian, and two were deployed in Shenyang. I didn't expect that the radar would be successful as soon as it was deployed, and it was discovered that the Japanese aircraft group was coming.
After receiving Han Qianjian's call, Liu Yimin immediately realized that the Flying Fourth Group or the Fifth Flying Group, which had been transferred to the Southeast Asian battlefield by the Kwantung Army, had rushed back and had come to Shenyang to retaliate!
The sound of the air defense post was an order, and in an instant, the alarm on the airport was loud, and the fighters of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army took to the air one after another to meet the enemy; The First Air Defense Regiment of the Air Defense Brigade, the Shenyang Garrison Unit, and the Headquarters Guard Regiment stationed in Shenyang have all entered a state of air defense combat readiness.
Western-style buildings and Japanese-style buildings in Shenyang basically have basements and air-raid shelters, and there are air-raid shelters in the marshal's mansion to evacuate people. But the houses are not good, the brick and wood structures are everywhere, there are no air defense facilities, and the streets are crowded. If the little devils bomb residential areas, then the losses are great.
Liu Yimin grabbed the phone and asked Cheng Cuilin to organize cadres to go to residential areas, use the fire brigade in Shenyang, and make preparations to extinguish fires and treat the wounded.
Li Xiaoshuai and Hu Changbao ran up and asked Liu Yimin to enter the air-raid shelter. Liu Yimin took off the sniper rifle hanging on the wall of his office, checked it, loaded it, and then took out a few rows of bullets from the canvas bag and put them in his pocket, and then said to Li Xiaoshuai and Hu Changbao: "Protect Political Commissar Chen, Political Commissar Luo, and the US military liaison group into the air-raid shelter, and tell your regiment commander to make every effort to organize air defense, and the first battalion will concentrate all its efforts to fortify the Marshal's Mansion." Here is the focus of the bombing of the Japanese planes. ”
After speaking, Liu Yimin went to the roof of the third floor of Daqing Building, standing on his feet, holding a gun in one hand and a telescope in the other hand to observe the sky.
It was destined to be a bloody morning, with clear skies and high visibility. Through the telescope, Liu Yimin could see the scene of our army's fighter planes taking off one after another. You can also see wisps of smoke rising in Shenyang City, which is the troops making thick smoke to cover Shenyang City.
Shenyang City is a large city, there are air defense sirens and fire brigades in the city, Liu Yimin stood on the roof of Daqing Building, and the terrible screams of air defense sirens echoed in his ears. He knew that at this moment, the citizens of Shenyang, who had not heard the air raid siren for many years, must be panicked, children crying, adults screaming, and they don't know what kind of chaos will happen!
Liu Yimin sighed. The time for the liberation of Shenyang was too short, and it was too late to educate the citizens on air defense knowledge. The Japanese bombed this time, I don't know how many innocent people will be killed or wounded!
Qian Zhuangfei, Li Qiang, and He Xinghua commanded the cadres of the Intelligence Analysis Office to dismantle the antennas and move the radio station to the air-raid shelter, and the soldiers of the first guard battalion were busy setting up machine guns and preparing to meet the enemy. The nine members of the US liaison group, who had just laid down to rest, were also shouted and ran to the air-raid shelter under the guidance of the guard soldiers.
Ni Hua and Han Qing came out of the second floor with Jing'er in their arms, and met Li Xiaoshuai in the courtyard who was directing the soldiers to set up machine guns, and hurriedly asked where Liu Yimin was?
Li Xiaoshuai wanted to tell Ni Hua that Liu Yimin was on the roof of the building, but thinking about it could only make Ni Hua worried. He hurriedly said that No. 1 was very safe, and asked Dean Ni to enter the air-raid shelter.
Ni Hua is the vice president of the field hospital, and his post is not in the air-raid shelter, so he hurried back to the field hospital, and when he heard Li Xiaoshuai's answer, he didn't have time to think about it, so he told Hanqing to take Jing'er into the air-raid shelter. He hurried to the field hospital with two guards. Li Xiaoshuai couldn't stop it.
The shadow of the Japanese aircraft group appeared in the sky, and the black pressure looked like a flock of birds, rushing towards Shenyang.
Liu Yimin chuckled in his heart. The Japanese army also had hundreds of planes in this formation. What does the little devil want to do? Don't they dream of retaking Shenyang anymore? Do they want to blow up Shenyang's arsenal and railway junction?
How did Liu Yimin know that due to the rapid progress of our army, he had already scared the demons in the Japanese army base camp. These guys all knew in their hearts that if the Kwantung Army was defeated and the Northeast was lost, little Japan would have to survive and wait for surrender. Because without coal and steel in the Northeast, most of Japan's manufacturing industry would have to close down, and without ammunition and grain in the Northeast, 60% of the Japanese army's supplies would be gone. Therefore, in just a few days, orders from the Japanese army's base camp flew all over the sky, and one order was stricter than the other, and it was originally only the Fifth Flying Group that was transferred from the Southern Army to return to the northeast, but now it has become that the Fifth Flying Group and the Fourth Flying Group have all returned to the northeast and returned to the Kwantung Army. Today's bombing of Shenyang was carried out by the Fourth Flying Group, which was rushed back first, and the Fifth Flying Group was also on its way back to the northeast. The brutal battle for the Northeast is about to really begin!
Just when Liu Yimin had doubts, the fierce air battle had already begun, and the three squadrons of our army's fighter formation, which had risen into the air to meet the enemy in advance, seized the height, drilled out of the clouds, and fiercely pounced on the Japanese army cluster.
The Japanese army came with the main force of the Fourth Flying Group, and the combat goal was to completely destroy the airfields in Shenyang and annihilate the air force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army, which gave them a headache; destroying the Shenyang railway junction, forcing our army to be unable to quickly transport troops and supplies to the front line by rail; Destroy the Shenyang Marshal's Mansion, the Municipal Government Building, the Senate Building, and the barracks, and completely wipe out Liu Yimin and his headquarters.
The reason why the Japanese army chose the Shenyang Marshal's Mansion, the city government building, the Senate building, and the barracks as important bombing targets was because they had studied Liu Yimin and believed that Liu Yimin's wife was an intellectual and a famous lady, and that the requirements for accommodation conditions should be relatively high. Liu Yimin repeatedly attacked and occupied large cities controlled by the Japanese army, which shows that Liu Yimin himself also likes to live in the city and enjoy urban life. And Shenyang City, the most suitable place for Liu Yimin's headquarters is the Grand Marshal's Mansion occupied by the Kwantung Defense Army Headquarters, followed by the city government, the Fengtian Provincial Senate, and the third is several large barracks in Shenyang.
The little devils in North China often searched the thatched houses of ordinary people during the sweep, and as long as there was waste paper in them, they would immediately identify the family as a collaborator. Because people were poor at this time, ordinary people didn't use paper to go to the toilet, and those who used paper were female cadres of the Eighth Route Army who were foreign students in the city. The little devil in the Northeast has also learned well, and after analyzing that Liu Yimin often leads his troops to capture Japanese-occupied cities, and his two wives are both famous ladies from intellectuals, he judged that Liu Yimin would definitely set up his headquarters in Shenyang City.
The little devil can see this very accurately. Liu Yimin is a traverser, has good hygiene habits since he was a child, and likes to live in the city. If it were changed to Lin and Luo of the Northeast Field Army in history, the headquarters would not even enter Shenyang City, and it must be located in a relatively large village around Shenyang to facilitate security and guarding.
Liu Yimin has already said that he will evacuate the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army Headquarters from Shenyang, but the time for stationing in Shenyang is short, and it is too late to evacuate!
The Japanese army has been stationed in Shenyang for a long time, and they are very familiar with Shenyang, and there is no problem in bombing these targets!
Leading the command of the team was Lieutenant General Nagajimoto Kumaichi of the Second Flying Group of the Japanese Army. This old devil, in order to avenge the annihilation of the Second Flying Group, and also to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, took the initiative to ask Lieutenant General Saburo Ando, commander of the Kwantung Army Flying Group, to lead a team to bomb Shenyang and kill Liu Yimin. Lieutenant General Saburo Ando naturally agreed.
Lieutenant General Saburo Ando and Lieutenant General Kumaichi Teramoto both knew that Liu Yimin's air force was strong in combat and difficult to deal with. Therefore, they dispatched all the fighters they could, on the one hand, escort the bombers, and on the other hand, seek out the main force of the air force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance.
It should be said that with such a powerful group of Japanese troops, our fighters should avoid the real and attack the false. However, Shenyang has just been liberated, and the air force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army is another glorious unit, and in order to defend Shenyang and defend the honor of our army, our army's fighter formation did not hesitate to take to the air to meet the enemy and show its sword to the Japanese plane!
The air battle was extremely tragic!
After David led the fighter formation into the air, he quickly completed the formation, and just after climbing to an altitude of 5,500 meters, the Japanese aircraft group arrived. David David, the new chief of staff of the Air Force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance, shouted loudly in the throat microphone: "Boys, start work." There were a lot of yellow-skinned monkeys, and after the first wave of attacks, the crews engaged in air guerrilla warfare and attacked Japanese aircraft. After the plane was shot, please parachute urgently, dear Liu will find us a lot of planes. God bless Shenyang! ”
After Davy shouted this nondescript order, he pushed the head of the plane, and he got out of the cloud and took the lead in rushing down to the Japanese plane.
In fact, the Japanese army gathered out of Changchun and flew horizontally at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and when they reached the vicinity of Shenyang, they lowered their altitude and prepared to bomb. However, Lieutenant General Teramoto Kumaichi is a famous general of the Japanese Army Air Force, and he has just suffered a big loss and ended up in the annihilation of the whole army, and he has already become cunning. It was near Shenyang that he ordered the formation to lower its altitude and prepare for bombing, and he also kept a fighter squadron flying at an altitude of 5,000 to be on alert.
David: The first thing they attacked was the Japanese fighter squadron that remained on alert at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and they were all three fighter squadrons, three to three.
With a gap of only 500 meters in the air, our army has the lead. However, the Japanese aircraft are advanced "Hayabusa" fighters, and our army is an old-fashioned Type 97 fighter, and there is a big gap in the performance of the aircraft. Fortunately, our army has experience in air combat over the Bohai Bay and knows how to deal with such a Japanese plane with advanced performance.
