[241] Overcast

Shi Dianwen heard that Dai Zijin also had the intention of defecting to the light, and immediately hit it off, and the two immediately combined.

Dai Zijin's hometown is in Puhai, and since he was coerced to Taiwan by Lao Jiang, his heart has always been concerned about his parents, family, relatives and friends who are still in the mainland. He once carried out the bombing of Japan in the Anti-Japanese War, accurately bombed the iron bridge of the Yellow River, and blocked the supply of the Japanese army.

Regarding the recent broadcast, Dai Zijin very much agrees with the truth said. The Central People's Radio repeatedly stressed in its broadcasts that World War II is over, and Lao Jiang still wants to engage the Chinese to fight the Chinese, and he will do everything possible to divide one side and obstruct the reunification of the Chinese nation. What's more, he hated Lao Chiang's bombing of Puhai and other places in the mainland from the bottom of his heart, which was his hometown, and his relatives still lived there! At the thought that his relatives might die in the bombing, Dai Zijin couldn't help but feel like a knife in pain.

Dai Zijin's military rank is major, the highest rank in this B25 crew, and he also has the task of monitoring the ideological movements of the crew of the aircraft, so when Shi Dianwen came to him to try to rebel, it was actually a bit risky. Fortunately, Dai Zijin also had the idea of surrendering, but he couldn't understand the thoughts of the other crew members. Now that he is driving Shi Dianwen and his co-pilot, they hit it off, and this matter of going to the light was immediately decided.

Early the next morning, Dai Zijin, Shi Dianwen, and all five members of the crew had to undergo routine training and take off. Unless this propeller aircraft is completely sealed in accordance with the regulations of Jishu, if it is parked for a long time, there may be mechanical failures when it is really used, so it is generally necessary to conduct regular ground tests, and if the time interval is longer, it is necessary to fly into the air to be safe.

Dai Zijin and Shi Dianwen set up a ground crew and filled up the B-25, which was originally only 30% fueled for training liftoff. After the five crew members, including the two of them, went into the sky, Shi Dianwen couldn't help but feel excited, and pulled the plane to 4,000 meters in one go, and continued to climb.

The navigator Fei Yue said puzzledly: "Shi Dianwen, what kind of fame are you doing, it's enough to pull up to 3,000, finish your business and go back to dinner." ”

Shi Dianwen smiled and said, "I haven't opened it for a while, and I want to practice today." ”

As he spoke, Shi Dianwen pulled the plane to 5,000 meters, and without going around in circles, he flew farther and farther, leaving Taipei Taoyuan Airport straight and flying straight to the sea. When the ground command station saw this scene, its heart immediately tightened, and it shouted on the radio: "Wrong, wrong, you flew the wrong 112 plane." ”

Dai Zijin showed a wry smile in the co-pilot seat and replied, "That's right! ”

With that, he left the passenger seat and pulled out his pistol. At this time, the ground command platform was completely stunned, and then came to its senses and cursed. And the other three people in the crew were also dumbfounded.

Under Dai Zijin's persuasion, I don't know if it was the pistol that worked, or the charm of the language, the navigator, the machine gunner and the deputy machine gunner all agreed, and followed the two to surrender together. Shi Dianwen continued to increase his horsepower and flew in the direction of Fuzhou all the time, but not a single fighter at Taoyuan Airport dared to take to the air to pursue.

The reason why no one dares to pursue is very simple, because at present, as long as the Taiwan plane dares to fly into the strait, the PLA fighter planes are like having clairvoyance, and they will definitely be able to accurately find and shoot down the plane. This has happened again and again before, so that no Taiwanese pilot dares to take a step beyond the minepool.

The B-25 flew into the strait together, and it appeared on the radar in Fuzhou. When this B-25 came to the sky over the sea near Fuzhou, two Jian-5s were already waiting for his arrival in the air.

Dai Zijin had already released the landing gear in the airspace near Fuzhou, and the Jian-5 pilots Chang Chunlai and Liu Tiehu knew at first sight in the air that this lone B-25 bomber flew over, and it did not bring escort fighters with it, but also released the landing gear early.

The "defection" of this B-25 completely made Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou mad, and ordered Taoyuan Airport to be temporarily closed, suspend all air training, and all pilots to be grounded pending investigation. Under this uninterrupted broadcast propaganda offensive that began the day after the end of the Battle of Kinmen, Zhou Zhirou completely lost confidence in his subordinates......

And it was at this time that the PLA Air Force began to sortie.

In view of the good performance of our air force, which was equipped with advanced aircraft, in the early stage, according to Commander Su Yu's Jihua, it was decided to use the Eighth Division to continuously bomb the Kuomintang 96th Army entrenched on Penghu Island in the middle of the strait, and a week later, launch a campaign to liberate Taiwan at the end of April.

The 2nd Regiment was commanded by Yang Tao, who had just been promoted from acting division commander to division commander, and the 1st Regiment was commanded by Ma Weiming, who had just been promoted from deputy regiment commander to regiment commander, and took off from Fuzhou and Xiamen airfields respectively to carry out combat missions.

Yang Tao commanded the 2nd H&B Regiment on the radio and said: "All squads should pay attention, according to the photos given by the 5th H&B Bombardment Reconnaissance Target, and return immediately after dropping the bomb at an altitude of 2,000 meters." ”

The 24 silver H-5s that attacked at high speed immediately swooped down and began to bombard the pre-assigned targets. The anti-aircraft fire of the Kuomintang 96th Army on Penghu Island also sounded wildly at this time.

After the bombing of the Zuoying military port in Kaohsiung, Chiang's navy was left with only a few small gunboats and a large number of landing ships left undamaged. During Lao Chiang's hospitalization, the result of the military's several helpless immortals would be dizzy and dizzy, judging that the PLA would continue to advance step by step, and the next target might be the Penghu Islands. As a result, the landing ships continued to deliver a large number of ammunition and supplies to Penghu Island, and most importantly, a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns.

In the past, the anti-aircraft machine guns in the hands of Lao Chiang were basically used as flat-fire firepower, and after World War II, there were no more purchases, let alone anti-aircraft guns. In the face of the PLA, which does not even have aircraft, what do you want air defense weapons?

As a result, the helpless move of suddenly turning the direction of defense to the sky really made Sun Liren, then Taiwan's defense commander, scramble.

What is even more tragic is that in the War of Liberation, Chiang's equipment was lost to bad pieces, and even less was brought to Taiwan. If it weren't for the fact that there were still some anti-aircraft machine guns left over from the Japanese occupation in Taiwan, Sun Liren would have fainted in the face of this mess.

After piecing together for a long time, Sun Liren finally collected 9 Bofors 75mm M1929 anti-aircraft guns and 35 Japanese 7.5-cm anti-aircraft guns produced by this model, which is not enough to defend Taipei. According to the calculation of four anti-aircraft artillery groups, this is only eleven anti-aircraft artillery groups.

In desperation, Sun Liren set up a total of 44 75mm anti-aircraft guns in these eleven groups in Taipei as a key air defense. As for the Penghu defenders who were shouting for anti-aircraft weapons, they just gritted their teeth and squeezed out 50 Japanese-made Type 93 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns and dialed them over. At the same time, the 96th Army in Penghu was ordered to find a shelf for heavy machine guns to be used as anti-aircraft machine guns.

At a bombing altitude of 2,000 meters, the bombing altitude of the 5th was completely indifferent to the Type 93 heavy machine gun with an altitude of only 1,300 to 1,500 meters.

After the 72-ton iron bomb carried by the Second Regiment of the Eighth Division was accurately dropped on the head of the 96th Army, Yu Zhaolong, the commander of the 96th Army, finally realized that the Type 93 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun sent by Sun Liren was purely a cheat.

Yu Zhaolong is so angry! Stamping your feet in anger! He stomped his feet in the cement observation post and cursed in Shandong: "Sun Liren, this anti-aircraft machine gun can't even reach the fart of the military plane!" You're playing with Lao Tzu! ”

Watching the explosions on the island sound one after another, Yu Zhaolong was simply terrified. Guo Siyi, the commander of the 212th Division beside him, said with a crying voice: "I know now, why are more than 100,000 people in Zhoushan gone in one day, and Kinmen fell in half a day, commander!" You can't keep it! ”

Yu Zhaolong said in horror: "Let the brothers lie down for me on the battlefield!" The supply army may be about to land. Call me Air Force Support, Air Force Support! ”

However, the PLA landing force did not arrive, but the second wave of bombardment did.

When Ma Weiming arrived with the First Bombardment Regiment, the Second Bombardment Regiment had already completed the first wave of bombing and left. Looking at the smoky airports and docks on the ground, Ma Weiming said: "Attention to all aircraft, it doesn't matter if you are late, there are still many targets, all planes should pay attention to selecting the target, I order, all squads disperse, and bomb at an altitude of 2,000 meters!" ”

So the second wave of bombardment began, and a series of explosions sounded on the Penghu Islands, and the artillery positions used by the 96th Army to block the sea near the islands and the various garrison positions on the islands had been bombed into a mess. Looking at the jet bomber that returned after Shi Shiran's big stab after the bomb was dropped, Yu Zhaolong didn't say a word and stood in the observation post in a daze.

"The navy is gone, and the air force doesn't dare to dispatch, so why should I defend it...... How to keep ......"

In recent days, people at the U.S. Consulate General in Taiwan have been panicking, and everyone has packed their suitcases in advance. Judging from the current situation, the People's Liberation Army is likely to land in the near future.

Robert Strong, director general of the US Government for Taiwan Affairs, has sent the photos of the PLA Air Force's H-5 bombers, Jian-5, and Jian-6 fighters that he had taken in Kaohsiung's left camp to the US Far East Command in Tokyo through a US military transport plane.

MacArthur sat behind his desk, smoking his walnut pipe and staring silently at the solid gold pen inserted in the white magnetic Japanese lady's pen holder on the table.

With the fall of Kinmen and Matsu, Taiwan has been isolated at sea, completely cut off from any connection with the mainland. Such a result is a secret relief for the United States. Chang Kaishen has lost all the bargaining chips for counterattacking the mainland, and all the coastal islands have been lost, which means that Taiwan's geopolitical position has changed from an unstable chess piece to a link in the chain of peripheral islands in the coastal fringe of East Asia.

In MacArthur's view, it is time to give Chinese mainland a warning, and maintaining Taiwan's current status is undoubtedly in the best interests of the United States. He has already sent his opinion to President Truman via a telegram, strongly claiming that once Taiwan is lost, the entire island chain of Southeast Asia and the main island of Japan of the United States will be cut off from it, and this is unacceptable to the United States in any way. MacArthur asked Truman for permission to send his Seventh Fleet to expel the warships currently cruising in the strait, immediately cut off the strait, and put an end to Chinese mainland's desire to recover Taiwan.

In the name of the US Far East Command, MacArthur ordered them to remain stationed in the US Consulate in Taiwan and to be ready to receive follow-up orders from the Far East Command.

In recent days, the message conveyed from the mainland's broadcasts has become even clearer and clearer: The People's Liberation Army (PLA) may launch a landing operation in the near future.

After receiving a translation from the Intelligence Section of the US Far East Command of the Central People's Radio, MacArthur was even more anxious.

"Truman, what are you hesitating about?!"
