However, just when the Japanese aviation unit intercepted Han Yunhua and his guard regiment in Saibei, Okamura Ningji never imagined that there was also a small number of aviation units quietly killing the most important seaport of the Japanese army in northern China, Qingdao Port.

Speaking of Qingdao Port, we have to talk about the difficult predicament that the Japanese puppet army in the north has to face, originally it was the established national policy of the Japanese base camp to feed the war by war, but because a large area of occupied areas in northern China was recovered by the Chinese army, which made the Japanese army only with the output of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces and regions, it was simply unable to attack the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, so it had to transport a large number of weapons and ammunition and supplies from the country.

However, after the disastrous defeat of Tianjin and the Battle of Midway, Japan not only lost the natural and excellent seaport of Tianjin, China, but also lost a large number of naval forces, so at this time, both the Japanese army had a transport fleet and a port of call.

Okamura Ninji is also very good, and in a very short period of time, he sent troops and Chinese people to expand and repair Qingdao Port, the largest natural and excellent seaport in Shandong. To be honest, compared to the port of Tianjin, the port of Qingdao is undoubtedly another excellent seaport in northern China that is most suitable for Japan. It was precisely because of Okamura Ningji's move that Japan's domestic materials and ammunition were continuously transported into Shandong, which also allowed the remnants of the Japanese army to gain a firm foothold in Shandong in a short period of time, and was not taken by Han Yunhua's troops in one go.

Today is another rare sunny day, Qingdao port is still busy, whether it is the commander of the Japanese army Qingdao garrison Major General Otsuka relic, or the puppet security army commander of the 2nd Division Li Zhibin is in a very good mood, today not only a small fleet and more than a dozen large transport ships docked, but also dozens of large merchant ships anchored in Qingdao port. This is a real benefit for the entire Qingdao garrison force, in this troubled era there is a gun is the king of grass, Qingdao Port in the eyes of Otsuka and Li Zhibin is a fragrant bait, every day whether it is Chinese or Japanese or Korean, as long as it is not a warship, as long as you want to dock in Qingdao Port to replenish supplies, you must pay the corresponding taxes, this tax is not set by Japan, of course, it is not formulated by the North China Front Command, but the Qingdao Garrison Command or directly said that the Otsuka testament himself formulatedAs for how much to collect, to whom and how to collect, Li Zhibin and his Second Division of the Imperial Association Army are specifically responsible. In just over a year, Otsuka's widow and Li Zhibin were in cahoots, leviing heavy taxes on passing merchant ships and even fishing boats, making a lot of money.

But the two brainless guys apparently only cared about making money, and had forgotten their duties as soldiers, although the Japanese radar outside Qingdao had already detected a large number of planes flying towards Qingdao Port and had reported to the garrison headquarters. However, Otsuka's posthumous training, who was one of the participants in Okamura's plan this time, obviously did not expect, and certainly did not think that those big guys flying in the sky would be the Chinese air force, because the Chinese air force would not leave their secret airfield due to the difficulty of replenishing fighters, and of course, it would not appear in the coastal port of Qingdao. Moreover, the aviation units in the Qingdao garrison this time have also been transferred, and it is likely that the one who will come back at this time will be his own fleet, so Major General Otsuka's posthumous training did not care.

However, Shangguan Qingyun will not leave any mercy for Otsuka's posthumous training, Shangguan Qingyun knows better than anyone the current situation of the Japanese, because almost all the fighters have been sent to Saibei, so all the Japanese airfields in the entire Shandong are empty, and the Qingdao airfield, which originally had a flight squadron stationed, is now empty, and there will not be a fighter plane to prevent Shangguan Qingyun and others from enjoying this luxurious flying feast. …,

Although in Shangguan Qingyun's prediction, the air defense system of Qingdao Port and Qingdao Airport is likely to cause some trouble to his air force, after all, the coastal defense forces of Qingdao Port are not all vases, and the air defense system of Qingdao Port is also very perfect, so Shangguan Qingyun does not think that this combat mission will be easy at all.

But to Shangguan Qingyun's surprise, they had already appeared within the monitoring range of the Japanese radar, but the Japanese city defense troops still did not move at all. Although Shangguan Qingyun didn't know what the Japanese army had in mind, he would not miss this opportunity.

The group did not fly all of them to the airfield outside Qingdao, as the officers and men of the Japanese radar monitoring center thought, but split into two over the airfield, one part flew to the airfield, and the other part flew towards the coastal area. At this time, the Japanese officers in the radar monitoring center had realized that something was extraordinary, revealing a strange atmosphere.

Although the air defense sirens have been sounded, it is clearly too late. Following Shangguan Qingyun's order, dozens of bombers launched carpet bombardment against hundreds of large and small ships moored in the sea of Qingdao Port, especially the small fleet that stood out from the crowd was attacked. At the same time, the airport outside Qingdao was also attacked, not only was the oil depot completely destroyed by a heavy bomb, but even the runway where the planes took off and landed was completely destroyed.

The Japanese air force is indeed very strong, and the air defense battalion of Han Yunhua's guard regiment is the most rapid anti-aircraft fire unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and there is no one of them here. However, under the indiscriminate bombardment of nearly 200 Japanese fighters and bombers, the air defense battalion of the guard regiment suffered heavy casualties despite its strong firepower, and lost more than 370 fighters, six antiaircraft machine guns, and more than a dozen rapid-fire machine guns that had been improved by Han Yunhua himself in just one hour of fighting.

In addition, Han Yunhua's huge convoy was basically wiped out, and the motorcycles were okay, and the blown up was not too serious. But those huge targets are different, the focus of more than 200 aviation planes is not a joke, the whole grove is full of billowing smoke cars and burning trees, although it is winter, but the powerful incendiary bombs do not care about the thick snow on the ground and the trees lightly covered by ice and snow, still ignite the fire.

However, the results of the air defense battalion were also astonishing, shooting down 11 planes in less than an hour after the start of the battle, and probably damaging no less than 10 planes that forced to land, the Japanese air force was completely a deadly fight, and they did not seem to care how much the planes lost, and they vowed not to give up until the Chinese convoy and the resistance forces below were completely wiped out.

However, the Japanese army really made a bloody investment this time, and Okamura Ninji not only sent all the air units under the battle sequence of the North China Front, but even all the air units of the Chinese army near the Shandong region were also transferred, and there were more than 300 bombers, fighters, and transport planes, and the air battle of this scale was unprecedented in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even the number of times the Japanese army dispatched so many air units in the dozen or so large-scale battles organized by the Nationalist Government on the frontal battlefield was not seen.

However, what puzzled Major General Shimada was that the paratroopers and special forces should have participated in the attack a long time ago, but now there was no movement at all, which made people very anxious. Planes can't stay here for long, and with the combat performance of the current Imperial fighters, their combat radius is far from reaching the level of spanning several provinces of China. If the paratroopers do not move within 10 minutes, then Major General Shimada can only order the troops to return, otherwise the aviation units will not even have the fuel to return to the air. …,

Of course, the paratroopers will not be able to come, because now all the paratroopers and special combat teams have become ghosts under the knife of Han Yunhua's guard regiment, and they have died extremely unjustly. More than 3,300 people were all shot down from the sky before they could even organize effective resistance, in fact, not many Japanese soldiers died under the guns of the guard regiment, and the vast majority of paratroopers fell to their deaths because their parachutes were broken.

The Japanese aviation unit finally retreated, and Han Yunhua immediately ordered a small part of the troops to clean up the battlefield, and the rest hurried to the air defense positions in front to rescue the wounded. The entire air defense position has been blown up, and there are less than 150 people alive in the entire air defense battalion, and everyone is wounded, the casualty rate has reached a terrifying 100%, and the loss of weapons and equipment is also extremely heavy, there are only 2 anti-aircraft machine guns left that Han Yunhua worked so hard to get, and all other air defense weapons have basically been blown up, and almost none of the convoys used as bait are complete, and almost all of them have been blown up into scrap metal, and there is no value in recycling and repairing, which makes Han Yunhua extremely distressed.

In fact, the casualties of the air defense battalion were not large at the beginning, and the threat of Japanese fighters and bombers to the air defense battalion under the blockade of intensive artillery fire was not as great as imagined. However, at the end of the battle, the casualties of the troops increased sharply, because the ammunition of the air defense forces was insufficient, and because the escort of Han Yunhua did not expect to be intercepted by an aviation unit of such a scale by the Japanese army, the troops did not carry too much anti-aircraft ammunition. It would be enough to deal with a small Japanese air force, but it would be a little worse to deal with an air cluster of hundreds of Japanese aircraft. In addition, for some reason, the last round of bombing of the Japanese air force actually threw all the butts down, which became the last straw that crushed the air defense battalion, and after the smoke of gunpowder, there was not a single figure on the entire air defense position that could stand, and all kinds of machine guns that had been shouting for an hour and a half were also muted, and the Japanese air force retreated satisfactorily after circling for a while.

Of course, the air defense battalion was not sacrificed in vain, a battalion in more than an hour of battle to shoot down nearly 30 Japanese aircraft, such a record is embarrassing, although there was a surprise at the beginning of the Japanese army was taken by surprise, but the strong combat effectiveness shown by the air defense battalion is still shocking, but unfortunately, this powerful air defense force is now only an empty shell, including the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander 95% of the cadres died, more than 500 soldiers survived less than a third, Moreover, the vast majority of the wounded are seriously wounded, and even if they are healed, they may not be able to return to the building, in a word, the air defense battalion of the guard regiment is over.

However, I am reluctant to let the child set up a wolf, an air defense battalion and a convoy for a Japanese paratrooper brigade and a special combat team and an opportunity to sneak attack an important port of the Japanese army, this transaction is still very cost-effective, especially this time is basically a complete capture of all the equipment of the Japanese paratrooper brigade and the ammunition airborne, but don't think that the Japanese paratrooper unit still uses the 38 big cover, you must know that it is not 37 years now, as an important assault force of the Japanese army, although the number of paratroopers in the battle sequence of the Japanese army is not large, But the weapons and equipment are the best, each person has a submachine gun, and it is also an American product, although the quality is not as good as the German goods used in Han Yunhua's guard regiment, but it is durable, and it does not need much maintenance, and the quantity is enough.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, but because he lost all the means of transportation, Han Yunhua could only send a report to Shen Yuquan of the Northeast Army Division, asking him to quickly send a cavalry unit over, and send five thousand war horses back and forth by the way.

That night, Shangguan Qingyun sent Han Yunhua the details of the sneak attack on Qingdao, and because of the full preparation, Shangguan Qingyun's air fleet directly destroyed almost all the port facilities in Qingdao Port and a large number of ships anchored in Qingdao Port, including a small fleet, and also blew up the Japanese airfield outside Qingdao, and then Shangguan Qingyun returned to Baoding and added enough fuel and ammunition, and then took 44 fighters to intercept the returning Japanese aircraft group over Zhangjiakou. …,

Shangguan Qingyun concluded that the Japanese army's fleet was about to run out of fuel and ammunition, and that it could not compete with the Chinese air force with sufficient fuel and ammunition, and that this was the best time to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese air force.

Sure enough, there were more than 180 fighters of various types returned to the Japanese air force this time, but the basic state was the same, that is, the ammunition was insufficient and the fuel was about to run out. Relative to ammunition, running out of fuel is deadly. It's good to say that there is not enough ammunition, it's a big deal, can you escape, but if you can't provoke it, then I can still hide. But if you don't have enough fuel, it will be miserable, even if you have enough ammunition, you can't fight, and a few hovering planes will have to fall from the sky automatically, and it's terrifying to think about that scene.

I have to say that Major General Shimada's luck this time is really too bad, although Shangguan Qingyun's air force only has more than 40 planes, it can be seen that this is already the main force of China's air force. And his aviation unit alone has more than 100 fighters, if it were left in peacetime, Major General Shimada would really wish that the Chinese Air Force would have a main decisive battle with him, but now when he saw the Chinese fighter group, Rear Admiral Shimada's face turned green, and he secretly said that this luck was really too bad.

At this time, Major General Shimada regretted the most was to order all the fighters to be shot out when he was about to retreat, originally to make up for the last shot of Han Yunhua's department, from the traces of the final battle, Han Yunhua and his guard troops have little chance of survival, as an experienced commander, Major General Shimada knows very well how thorough the attack of this aviation force is, although the combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's guard troops is still as strong as their army, and a total of more than 30 imperial fighters have been shot down, But there is still no escape from the fate of destruction. In fact, the last round of bombing was no longer necessary, and there was almost no resistance on the Chinese position, but in order to hit Han Yunhua more thoroughly, Rear Admiral Shimada ordered all the troops of the air force to shoot out the last bit of ammunition on the plane.

The people of Zhangjiakou today are an eye-opener, and it is the first time that an air battle has been conducted over Zhangjiakou, and at the first time when the air defense siren is sounded, people have put down their work and rushed to the air-raid shelters inside and outside the city, which is basically what the people of Zhangjiakou have often done during this period of time; on the one hand, they are indeed afraid of the bombing of Japanese planes, and on the other hand, this is also what the leaders of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have requested, and for this reason, the heads of the military district headquarters will organize one or two such air defense drills every once or twice. So the people are used to it.

After all, in terms of air force, the Chinese army is still far behind the Japanese army, and Japan's annual output of thousands of planes is not comparable to China's, so the people have also developed antibodies, as soon as the air defense siren sounds, everyone immediately rushes to the air-raid shelter, and the security in the city is immediately taken over by the troops.

However, this time it was obviously different, not long after the people fled into the bomb shelter, there was a burst of cheers from the soldiers outside, and then someone shouted, "Look, it's our Chinese planes and little Japanese planes that are fighting."

In recent years, duels between the armies are common even for ordinary people, but battles between the air forces are not common, especially for the people in the small city of Zhangjiakou, so many people have run out to watch the air battle.

"Look at it, it's falling"

"yes, it's really falling, I don't know if it's small Japan or ours, take a look"

"It's the sun flag drawn, it's Japanese, folks, little Japan's plane has been shot down"

"Roar"

This was just the beginning, from that moment on, the sky in Zhangjiakou was like boiling water, completely boiling, and the fighters dragging billowing smoke or huge fire balls were constantly shot down, and some even disintegrated directly in the air. Although the vast majority of the planes could not see the marks on their bodies clearly, this could not hide the cheers of the people of Zhangjiakou, in their hearts, it was a miracle that our Chinese sky warriors could fight with little Japan in the sky for so long, and they did not have too high requirements for victory or defeat. The victory is certainly worth celebrating, and it is what people look forward to, but they will not blame the fighters for the defeat, because they have done a very satisfactory job.
