[217] The bombing of the left battalion
Since the Kuomintang never imagined that the PLA would have the ability to carry out air strikes on Taiwan so far on the other side of the strait, it was completely defenseless. The seaside observation posts on Taiwan's west coast are all set up to guard against the landing operations or covert infiltration of the PLA mysterious navy. As for the air defense radar, it is only used for the training of fighters stationed at the Zuoying airfield, and it is not supposed to be turned on in normal times.
At this time, Taiwan's Zuoying Naval Base is like a bar with an open door for the Eighth Division of the People's Liberation Army.
Yang Tao turned on the radio, at this moment, there was almost no need for radio silence like when flying across the strait, he coughed lightly and said: "This is 8040, I am Yang Tao, we have arrived at the target airspace, the brigades began to look for the target, prepare for the air attack." ”
Ma Weiming, who was holding back all the way, shouted: "This is 8001, our plane flies far and fast!" It's shijie first-class! We are confident that we will complete the task! ”
After spitting out his thoughts on the radio, Ma Weiming retracted the throttle and pushed the joystick, and the H-5 cluster pilot with the number 8001 made a dive maneuver and slammed away. The 8001 was followed by the H-5, a group of two and two in a box-shaped formation of the Eighth Bombing Division, and eleven bombers followed the 8001 like a silver snake, and under the guidance of the 8001 long plane, they lowered their flight altitude and entered the bombing route.
"The altitude is 2000, the speed is 500, each aircraft pays attention, and looks for their own bombing targets."
After Ma Weiming gave the command for self-bombing on the radio channel, he focused all his attention on the largest warship in front of Zuoying's inner harbor.
"Hao Liang, do you see it?"
"Hey! See, Commander, it's the Fenyang! ”
"Blow it up!"
"Yes!"
Hao Liang, who was in the glass cabin of the leader of the plane, leaned forward with his seat belt, pressed his head on the bombing sight, and quickly adjusted the bombing parameters according to the flight speed and altitude. After the adjustment, he quickly raised the telescope hanging on his chest and looked down at the beetle-like Fenyang in the harbor outside the glass cabin at his feet, felt the time difference, and stuck the eyepiece of the bombing scope on his eye again.
The crosshairs in the center of the eyepiece of the bombing sight kept moving with the glide of the bombing sight, and Hao Liang kept recalling and comparing the target scene in the field of vision just now.
"A boat...... Two boats...... Three boats...... There are also two boats, followed by the Fenyang. ”
The Fenyang finally appeared in the eyepiece, and Hao Liang unscrewed the magnification until it could not be enlarged. Soon, the Fenyang was trapped by the crosshairs.
"Bomb dropping!" Hao Liang roared, and his left hand, which had already been on the bomb dropper, slammed down the bomb throwing switch.
At this time, the following H-5 had also finished aiming, and opened the bomb bay one after another.
"Bomb dropping!"
"Bomb dropping!"
"Bomb dropping!"
A roar came from the H-5 navigator cabin that followed the 8001 after diving and entered the bombing route, and from the bomb bay opened by the H-5, a group of three tons of iron bombs broke away from the hook and poured down like rain. With the sound of death whistling, these bombs happily smashed into their respective targets with a sense of mission to get what they wanted.
Lu Ping and Lao Wei at the observation post on the beach outside the Kuomintang Left Camp Military Port had forgotten to continue to blow the guard post at this time, and they were watching everything that happened in the Left Camp from the sentry tower in a daze, and they had been conquered by this spectacular war scene in front of them. I saw a string of 12 sets of 250-kilogram low-drag missiles falling at high speed under inertia. The air flow was pierced by the steady flow of bullet wings, and it let out a piercing roar of excitement.
Lu Ping, who was stupid in the sentry tower, suddenly said: "Old Wei, maybe we will be able to go home soon...... At this time, the air defense siren in the Zuoying military port finally came belatedly and sounded harshly......
At this time, the bombs dropped by a large group of bombs finally began to come into close contact with the Zuoying Military Port, and this hell symphony was played. The explosion resounded through the left camp military port! The fires of the hit warships burst into the sky, the decks were shattered, the turrets rolled off, the bridges were skewed, and the gunboats of small tonnage were even blown out of the gaps, revealing their keels. Smoke billowed from warships, one after the other. After the sea water in the harbor was deviated from the target, angry bombs set off huge waves seven or eight meters high, and the water splashed dozens of meters into the air before falling.
"It's Fenyang! Fenyang has been bombed! Yang Dezhi, the machine gunner in the 8001 tail gun room, shouted excitedly.
Hearing Yang Dezhi's report, Hao Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt that the pressure on his shoulders was suddenly relieved. Captain Ma Weiming hurriedly pulled up the H-5 and returned directly to the other side of the strait.
The tail turrets of the rest of the planes also recorded their own battle results, and the bombardment of the Eighth Division and the first regiment and the first brigade made a good start, and the 144 bombs with a total of 36 tons dropped by the bombardment regiment and the first brigade actually hit 16 ships! The fact that the 12 H-5s had the effect of hitting 16 ships was inseparable from the dense berthing density in the Zuoying Military Port, where many ships were close to each other, and the scattered bombs were scattered like pepper, often hitting two or three ships in a single string.
In the bombing cluster over the Zuoying Military Port, Yang Tao, the acting commander of the Eighth Bombardment Division, continued to order step by step with an expressionless face: "Pay attention, the first regiment and the second brigade have begun to descend in altitude and enter the bombing route to select their respective targets. ”
"Yes! The first regiment and the second brigade received. ”
Soon, as the 1st and 2nd Bombardment Groups entered the bombing route, a new movement began to play.
The second group also carried three tons of ammunition on each plane, and the difference from the first group was that they carried a group of six 500-kilogram high-resistance bombs. Under the rectification of the ballistic ring and the tail, the high-resistance bomb fell precisely in the established parabola, making a whining organ-like sound.
Compared with low-drag bombs, high-drag bombs are more accurate, and the 500-kilogram charge is more ferocious. The 2nd Brigade, which was feverished by the bombardment in the harbor below, carried out a second round of strikes against the remaining ships that appeared to be relatively large in the port of Zuoying, in the spirit of replenishing their guns.
There was chaos in the military harbor of Zuoying, and many sailors who were on duty in the warships were screaming and jumping into the sea to escape, and the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns on the shore also began to sound sporadically. The soldiers and officers on the shore roared, shouted, ran wildly, and became a mess. The female communications corps, with trembling hands, were nervously wired and sent messages in the telecommunications room.
At this time, the headquarters of the Taiwan Navy was already churning chaotically like a burnt porridge pot, with chaotic people rushing in and out, and all kinds of news being sent out or incoming in a chaotic manner. Some officers even drew their pistols and ran to the small lawn outside to shoot at the sky; Some officers stood on a high ground outside the harbor and looked at their own ships that had caught fire and exploded, beating their chests and complaining bitterly; Some officers were even timid before they fought, and when the car arrived at the headquarters, it turned back and drove to Kaohsiung City.
Li Lianfan frantically made a phone call, roaring on the phone: "Give me the anti-aircraft artillery regiment of the left battalion!" …… Feed! …… Feed! I'm Li Lianfan! Supply troops in the air raid on the left camp inner harbor! Give me an immediate return shot! Fight back now! ……”
Staff officer Wu Lun made another urgent call on the side: "Pick me up at Zuoying Airport!" …… This is the command of the Navy! The port was attacked by the supply army! Fighters immediately take off for air defense! Fast! Fast! ……”
Many staff officers and officers of the Taiwan Navy rushed to the headquarters like headless flies, and none of them sat down, but they all stood together and discussed in fear.
"How is it possible that the supply army can bombard the left battalion from a long distance!"
"The Inner Harbor has been blown up in flames! What else is impossible! ”
"It's over! Now our navy is all over! ”
"What do you say! How could it be over! We have hundreds of ships, can we bomb them all? ”
"Are you blind! The bombers supplying the army are overwhelming, and they can't be blown up today, and they will be blown up to the fullest! ”
“…………”
Yang Tao, acting commander of the Eighth Bombardment Division, continued to calmly give orders: "Pay attention to the first brigade of the Second Bombardment Regiment and begin to enter the bombing route and carry out bombing. ”
"The first brigade of the second regiment has received!"
Yang Tao led a brigade of Zuihou, the Second Brigade of the Second Bombardment Regiment, and began to wrap up Zuihou.
"Attention to the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Bombardment Regiment, each aircraft descends to altitude and chooses its own bombing targets, and the 1st Squadron and I will carry out the task of bombing dock warehouses and shipyard docks."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The planes of the 2nd Bombardment Regiment and the 2nd Brigade constantly sent out excited replies on the radio.
At this time, the Air Force Division, which was composed entirely of fighters, also began to join the battle, and the Air First Regiment, which had long been hovering at the height of the Zuoying airfield, faced the two P51 Mustang that had only taken off at the Zuoying airfield with great difficulty. Without hesitation, the empty regiment sent a squadron of four Jian-5 to dive down, chasing the Mustang that had just been pulled up was a burst chrysanthemum, and the two Mustang were shot down before the speed was raised.
Wang Hai commanded in the air: "Attention of the third squadron, don't fly too low, the anti-aircraft machine guns at the enemy's airfield are under intense fire, be careful to get shot." The bombing campaign is coming to an end, and the planes are ready to return! ”
The target of the No. 8040 landline of Yang Tao, the acting commander of the Eighth Division, was the wharf shipyard in the Zuoying Military Port. The bombing of the shipyard and the loss of the ability to overhaul Taiwan's Zuoying Military Port were the second target of the bombing. At present, the fires and black smoke in the harbor are getting thicker and thicker, and the hot air currents from the combustion and explosion are constantly rolling up the air with black smoke, which will have some impact on the subsequent bombing.
Instead of blindly rushing into the sparse inner harbor that has been bombed, it is better to blow up the shipyard to the bottom. As a result, the tall red gantry crane in the shipyard attracted Yang Tao's attention.
"After blowing up this shipyard, Lao Jiang can't find a place to repair the ship." Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Tao's unsmiling mouth curled slightly.
He ordered in the intercom: "Jiang Shouzu, you see it, that red gantry crane, blew him up for me!" Height 1500, speed 400. ”
Jiang Shouzu, the navigator and bombardier, replied simply: "Okay!" He stopped talking, raised the telescope to observe the position of the lower gantry crane, leaned over and adjusted the altitude and speed parameters on the bombing sight, and quietly waited for the target to enter the eyepiece of the sight.
As Jiang Shouzu flipped the bomb throwing switch, six 500-kilogram high-resistance bombs fell down violently, and after the end of the howling had passed, a series of explosions sounded, and the gantry crane of the largest tonnage in the Zuoying Military Port collapsed in the violent air wave set off by the 500-kilogram bombs. The steel plates and shipbuilding facilities piled up around the gantry crane were also violently blown up.
Li Lianfan had stopped talking on the phone, and he was now standing on the roof of the headquarters building of the Zuoying Naval Base, standing with his hands tied. He looked up at the sky full of Bang Wu triumphantly called it a day, and his heart was as silent as ashes.
Seeing that the People's Liberation Army's large-scale bombing cluster had completed the bombing and then marched away, Li Lianfan looked down at the inner harbor of Zuoying in front of him.
"It's over...... It's over...... After this battle...... There is no longer a naval ...... in Taiwan"
