Chapter 150 Target: Japanese Army Shanghai Airport

Considering that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had already arrived in Shanghai, in order to ensure the suddenness and success rate of the operation, the Japanese army felt that it was first necessary to ensure the absolute superiority in the number of aircraft, and at the same time to ensure the unity of the operation, search for the target as quickly as possible, and then launch an attack at the fastest speed.

The Japanese also anticipated a response to various situations, such as the support of the Chinese Air Force or the participation of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi.

The Japanese plan was that the bombers would take off from Matsuyamaba in Taiwan and Nagasaki airfield in Japan, and after arriving in the airspace of Shanghai, they would be escorted by fighters from the Shanghai field airfield, and then complete the bombing mission together. Because Matsuyama and Nagasaki airports are far away from Shanghai, bombers taking off from these two places naturally had to take off first.

In order to cooperate with the success rate of air operations, the Japanese army also sent ground troops and intelligence personnel to sneak behind the Chinese army's defense line, as if they wanted to find out the Chinese army's artillery in advance when the aircraft group arrived.

It can be said that in order to succeed in this retaliatory operation, the Japanese army has made sufficient all-round arrangements and used all the means available at the moment. However, where did the Japanese army think that their seemingly meticulous and detailed actions had not yet been implemented, and they had already been almost mastered by Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi.

During the operation in Japan some time ago, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had already cracked the radio communication information of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army did not seem to have been aware of it until now.

Behind the Chinese army's defense line in Shanghai, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had already set up an electronic reconnaissance station, which not only intercepted the intelligence and communications of the Japanese army, but also grasped the communication information of the Nationalist army. On the other side, Tang Xinyi was staring at the early warning radar station, and within the monitoring range, the figure of the Japanese aircraft could escape the capture of the early warning radar.

Now the two are discussing how to deal with the next Japanese attack, of course, this is indispensable for the cooperation of the national government, and Wei Qidong has already reported the situation to Nanjing.

After learning that Wei Qidong had intercepted the intelligence of the Japanese army and formulated a relevant action plan, Chairman Chiang studied it a little and immediately ordered the air force to fully cooperate.

"On the ground, we've already had big wins, and if we're in the air this time, we'll be able to get big wins, so it's definitely a double blessing. It was immediately ordered that the airports in Nanjing, Wuhu, Guangzhou, and other places, with the planes that could be mobilized, fully cooperate with the actions of General Wei and General Tang this time. "Chairman Jiang is also a greedy person, after tasting the sweetness of last night, he wants to eat a big meal again, and his order is almost half of the strength of the Chinese Air Force.

After calculating the time, Wei Qidong ordered Nanjing, Wuhu, and other airfields to take off first to meet the Japanese bomber group flying from Nagasaki at a distance and near range, while the planes from Guangzhou and Nanchang were to intercept the Japanese bomber group flying from Taiwan's Songshan airfield. Because Wei Qidong informed the Chinese Air Force of the direction of the Japanese plane's appearance and the direction of the route, it was not difficult to intercept the target.

About an hour after the Chinese Air Force sorted, the Japanese army began to move at the field airfield in Shanghai, preparing to meet the bomber groups flying from the Songshan and Nagasaki airfields. However, how did the Japanese army think that the Chinese air force had already pounced in two directions one step ahead, and in order to ensure the success rate of the operation, the Chinese army was able to mobilize almost all the fighters that could be used, thus ensuring its numerical superiority.

After confirming that all the planes at the Japanese field airfield had taken off and had left Shanghai, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi quickly put away the electronic reconnaissance station and the early warning radar station, and then immediately connected with Commander Chen Cheng to get the ground action information.

"Okay, my troops are all ready, just wait for General Wei to give your order." When Chen Cheng knew that Wei Qidong's next action required the cooperation of ground troops, he immediately made arrangements according to Wei Qidong's requirements, three infantry divisions and two artillery regiments, and they were all elites that he could get now. This is a reserve team, which shows that Chen Cheng attaches great importance to Wei Qidong's tactics this time.

In order to ensure the timeliness and uniformity of the operation, Chen Cheng personally ordered this unit to be under the command of Wei Qidong. However, Wei Qidong did not take this order, the main purpose of his move was to destroy the field airfield of the Japanese army, he was not good at commanding formed troops to fight, and others were not in the front line, and the quality of command could not be guaranteed.

Wei Qidong did not accept this order, and Chen Cheng did not force it, so he used his headquarters as a transit, and he set up a temporary combat command headquarters to fully regulate and control the cooperation between Wei Qidong and the front-line troops.

After the two sides negotiated the order, Wei Qidong immediately let the ground troops move, while he and Tang Xinyi boarded the Viper and took off.

The reason why the destruction of the Japanese field airfield this time still required the cooperation of the troops on the ground was because Wei Qidong learned that in the area within 10 kilometers around the Japanese field airfield, a lot of anti-aircraft firepower was hidden more or less, and he knew that the Japanese army's move must be to prevent his Wei Qidong's surprise attack. There is no need to think that in the future, the airfields of the Japanese army may be built like this.

Wei Qidong did not ask the ground troops to attack the airfield directly, but as long as the Japanese anti-aircraft fire in the direction of the attack was destroyed, the Viper could attack from the breach, and then use the long-range strike ability of the Hellfire to destroy the airfield in one fell swoop.

If this airfield can be successfully destroyed, the Japanese army will no longer have any planes available in East China for a period of time, and the Japanese planes that flew out from the airfield before will not be able to come back.

The Japanese army's field airfield in Shanghai was between Yanghang and Yuepu, this area was occupied by the Japanese army in September, in order to ensure air superiority, the Japanese army chose here for the first time to temporarily establish a field airfield, the airport is not large, at most 30 planes can be stationed.

After receiving the order to act, the Chinese army quickly interspersed between Luodian and Liu Xing, which was a very bold move. You must know that the field airfield of the Japanese army is already in the rear of the Japanese army, and the Chinese army is now in a situation of retreat, and it is indeed quite bold to dare to draw out three divisions and two artillery regiments to attack from this direction.

However, after studying Wei Qidong's operational proposal, Chen Cheng still thought it was feasible, because in order to pursue the retreating Chinese army, the main force of the Japanese army had already pressed in front of the Chinese army that had left to block, but the rear that had already been occupied was empty.

Moreover, in Chen Cheng's staff, the Japanese army never imagined that the Chinese army would launch an attack, and they would definitely be caught off guard.

Moreover, even if the operation is exposed, the strength of the three divisions and two artillery regiments should not be underestimated, and it is not easy for the Japanese army in that direction to stay, not to mention the air support provided by Wei Qidong.

And so the plan of action was finalized. And the facts also proved that the actions of the Chinese army were indeed completely unexpected by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army suddenly got the news after the Chinese army successfully passed between Luodian and Liu Xing.

After getting the news, Matsui Shigen didn't even believe it for a while, he didn't understand what the Chinese army was going to do, "Is it that you have to leave Shanghai, and you still have to make my airport before leaving?" ā€

There will be no more fakes in verifying the news, Matsui Shigen's face is ugly, this field airport in Shanghai is now a treasure, and there is no room for error. Hearing that the scale of the Chinese army's attack was not small, Matsui had to send troops to reinforce the Chinese army's offensive flank.
