Chapter 382: The Fourth Great Counteroffensive
The six divisions of the 18th Group Army, which had already arrived at their destination, immediately attacked their respective targets, and the entire north of the river was full of battlefields. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, for the Japanese army outside Niangzi Pass did not launch an attack for the time being, the strength of the two divisions was a bit too much, and the strong attack was afraid that the damage would be serious.
However, the tactics had already been formulated in advance, that is, to let the fighters of the Air Force carry out air strikes first.
Whether it was Yan Xishan's air force or the air force of the 18th Group Army, almost all of them were concentrated here and took turns to attack them.
Due to the bombing of the Beidi Volunteer Army, the Japanese army was paralyzed in the airfields north of the river and lost its air superiority, but it was the 18th Group Army and Yan Xishan who grasped the air superiority and made a complete reversal.
Now the Japanese army is unlucky, and the one who was abused by these two armies is miserable.
Also, no matter how many and strong the army on the ground is, it is useless, and it can't reach the planes in the sky.
What else could the Japanese army do besides being beaten?
Of course, the Eighteenth Group Army will not lack ammunition, and with the strong support of the Northland Volunteers behind it, there is no need to save bullets and shells, just fight hard.
Yan Xishan had also prepared a large amount of weapons and ammunition before the war, so naturally there would be no shortage of ammunition, and the two air forces repeatedly turned against the Japanese army.
At this time, both the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Japanese Japanese Dispatch Army Headquarters were in a panic.
The commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Admiral Ueda Kaneyoshi, was awakened by the sound of a loud explosion, the Kwantung Army Headquarters located in Liancheng was not far from the airport, and Liancheng during this period was not as loud as in later generations, so could such a loud explosion not be heard?
General Ueda Kaneyoshi hurriedly put on his clothes and ran towards the headquarters, rushed into the headquarters, and shouted: "Hachigayalu, what happened, where is the explosion?" ”
The staff officers on duty in the Kwantung Army Headquarters were also awakened by the sound of explosions in a daze, and they also wanted to know what was going on, wasn't this being contacted everywhere, and the commander had already come in.
"Report to the Commander, I'm asking now, I don't know what's going on yet?" Faced with the commander's questioning, a staff officer on duty replied tremblingly.
"Nani, quickly find out, is there something wrong?" Admiral Kaneyoshi Ueda didn't realize the coming of the war, and thought it was an accident in that place.
Yes, Liancheng is located at the very top of the Liaodong Peninsula, close to the sea, and it is definitely a large rear, and the commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, could never have imagined that the war would take place in Liancheng, let alone be bombed.
It's night, can the plane fly at night?
At this moment, Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo barged in and asked, "What happened, where was the sound of the explosion?" ”
At this time, the commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, also calmed down and realized that the sound of the explosion came from the direction of the airport: "Hachiga, could it be that the fuel depot at the airport exploded?" ”
The words of General Ueda Kaneyoshi reminded the chief of staff, but no, the sound of the explosion came from the direction of the airport, and according to the sound of the explosion and the continuous explosion of savings, it may be the explosion of the fuel depot.
The explosions were still going on, and at this time the sky was dark, and the sound of the night was exceptionally clear, and the distance traveled was also very long.
At this moment, the phone rang in the headquarters.
The operational staff officer immediately picked up the phone: "Moxi Moxi, this is the headquarters of the Kwantung Army." ”
The language on the other end of the phone was extremely fast, and the person who spoke was obviously flustered: "@#¥@%& amp; amp; #¥%¥%#m%¥#%¥#¥%¥; #......”
Holding the telephone in his hand, the combat staff officer was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and reported to the commander: "Report to the commander, the garrison near the airport has called and said that the Liancheng airport has been bombed, and all the planes at the airport have been destroyed. ”
This statement by the airport personnel is not surprising, although because the sky is dark, the ground personnel cannot see the situation in the sky, and if they get close, they may hear the roar of the aircraft.
"Nani, it's a bombardment from the sky, how is this possible?" The commander, Admiral Ueda Kaneyoshi, looked at the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, with a strange expression, apparently neither of them believing that this was the truth.
Yes, it is impossible for an airplane to fly at night at the level of technology in this era, which is obviously a bit fantastical.
Neither the commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, nor the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, could accept this fact, and although it was reported that the bombing was coming from the sky, neither of them believed that a bomber would be able to fly to Renjo to bomb it.
"Jingle Bell ......" Before the two had time to communicate, the phone in the mainland of the house rang again, and it was not a phone.
The combat staff officer of "Moxi Moxi......" immediately picked up the phone.
“¥#%…… ¥¥%##¥@%......”
An operational staff officer put down the phone and reported: "Report to the commander, according to the Jinzhou report, a strong explosion occurred at the Jinzhou airport, and the airport may have suffered an unknown attack." ”
Another airport was bombed, and General Ueda Kaneyoshi's mind was a little confused.
The matter did not end there, and immediately after that, another staff officer reported: "Report to the commander, Panjin reports, there was an explosion at the airport, and the airfield was completely destroyed, probably from the heavens." ”
Then there was some excitement, the phones rang one after another, and the operational staff officers of the headquarters were overwhelmed.
At this moment, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, realized that he was in big trouble.
The question is, how is this possible?
Nima, this is not a problem of one airport in Liancheng, almost all the airports in the city have been bombed by unknown bombs, is it really the bombers of the Northland Volunteers who came to bomb?
Commander General Ueda Kaneyoshi said to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, "The last time the Hokkaichi Volunteers carried out a surprise attack on the Kwantung Army airfield in retaliation for the Kwantung Army and bombed the entire forward airfield.
However, it happened during the day.
It was not yet dawn, and even if the Northland Volunteers sent planes to bomb the airfield of the Imperial Army in retaliation for the attack of the Kwantung Army, how did they fly over in the big night, and how did they accurately target the bombing? ”
This is not only a problem that General Ueda Kaneyoshi does not understand, but also the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, cannot figure it out.
Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, shook his head and said: "I have not heard that there are still night flying aircraft, not even the Imperial Air Force, nor have I heard that European countries have the ability to manufacture night aircraft. It's possible that they sneaked in ahead of time and blew up the airport in some other way. ”
"Roar, the Chief of Staff's analysis is completely correct, Feng Tian is too cunning, specializing in doing some strange things to disrupt the attention of the Empire. The defenders were ordered to search the vicinity of the airport and arrest all suspicious elements. "The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, was self-righteous and took it for granted that this was a conspiracy.
It was not that the commander of the Kwantung Army was ignorant, but that it was impossible for aircraft to fly at night during this period.
This is the first generation of bomber Eagle of the Northland Volunteers, the aerodynamic layout adopts a slender streamlined fuselage, the wing is a single wing with a large sweep angle, six turbojet engines are suspended under the wing, a large sweep angle tail, the flat tail position is slightly higher, and the landing gear is arranged in a bicycle style. The inboard engine nacelles are equipped with retractable underwing auxiliary landing gear.
The eagle is a cantilevered upper single wing, with an all-metal stressed skin double-beam structure, and the skin is reinforced with trusses. The plane of the wing is trapezoidal, and the leading edge of the wing is swept back 35°.
The wing has slit flaps on the inner rear ratio, and ailerons on the outer trailing edge. There are adjustment tabs on the ailerons.
The tail is an all-metal structure, the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer are double girder structure, and the elevator and direction navigation have adjustment tabs.
The cockpit is an airtight cockpit with a total of three occupants, with the front and co-pilot seats lined up in front and behind, and the navigator's seat in front. Both use ejection seats, but the navigator seat ejects downwards. The upper part of the middle section of the fuselage is equipped with fuel tanks, the lower part is a bomb bay and landing gear compartment, and the tail section is equipped with a parachute.
The Eagle is equipped with six J47 turbojet engines of Jade Dragon Airlines, each with a static thrust of 2,720 kilograms on the ground. The engine characteristics of the two types are the same and they are interchangeable. There are 33 solid-fuel rocket flight aids with a thrust of 450 kg on the pylons in the rear section of the fuselage.
The Eagle is equipped with a fire control system, including a search radar and an aerial fire correction computer. The effective distance of the search radar in the search and automatic tracking state is from 250 to 22000 meters.
In the bomb bay between the two main landing gears of the fuselage section, the bomb bay is 7.9 meters long.
It can also carry 13 conventional bombs of 227 kg or 8 conventional bombs of 454 kg, and the bomb load scheme is several according to whether auxiliary fuel tanks are installed in the bomb bay, with a normal bomb load of 4,500 kg and a maximum bomb load of 10,000 kg.
The Eagle is equipped with two 20-mm cannons with a shooting radar sight on a tail remotely controlled rotary turret with a total ammunition capacity of 700 rounds and a maximum effective range of 1370 meters. Two cameras mounted on vertical photo racks were also installed on board to check the bomb results.
The bomber has a maximum level flight speed of 975 km/h (altitude 5000 meters), a cruising speed of 795 km/h, a practical ceiling of 12400 meters, and a maximum range of 6400 km.
This type of bomber developed by Fengtian is actually a bomber modeled after the level of the world's aviation manufacturing industry around the 50s in the previous life, and this kind of bomber can not only meet the operational needs of the Northland Volunteers, but also does not surpass this era too much.
With this bomber, the Northland Volunteers can even bomb enemy land targets and implement strategic deterrence.
With a range of 6,000 kilometers, wouldn't it cover the entire territory of Japan? (To be continued.) )
