The newly restored Zarantun airport, another

o Fleet take-off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Except for a few fighters that participated in the escort just in case, every other plane was loaded with bombs, and some specially modified bombers even hung heavy aerial bombs weighing more than 1,000 kilograms under their bellies, and flew murderously toward the southeast.

After more than ten minutes of flight, all the pilots were able to clearly see the battlefield where the fire was being exchanged in the distance. On both sides of a vast white river, the artillery fire rumbled, the smoke column soared straight into the sky, the water splashed dozens of meters high on the river surface, countless boats were sprinting from west to east, and the pontoon bridges were showing their prototypes, and the whole scene was extremely magnificent.

The commander-in-chief of the bombing mission was Major Xiang Shuang, the first female flight captain of the An Jiajun.

Xiang Shuang is the founder of western Hubei Province, and Fan Yaqin, a transport pacesetter from Jingxian County, Xiangxi, is a beautiful Tujia girl, at the end of 37 was admitted to the Yichang Aviation School, becoming China's first batch of female flight cadets, at the beginning of 39, she was assigned to the 5th Regiment of the 1st Air Force Division for internship, at the end of the year turned into a regular pilot, has participated in several air raids on Malaya, Burma, has achieved excellent results in destroying 14 enemy planes, is a rare heroine in the Air Force. In the middle of 41 years, the Anjiajun Air Force was expanded, and she was promoted to squadron leader for her merits, and this year, the flight regiment was transferred north to Méng Gu and was once again given the opportunity to be promoted, becoming the leader of the same class of flight cadets of Yichang Aviation School.

After determining the target position a few kilometers away, Major Xiang Shuang, who was piloting a B3 multi-purpose bomber today, spoke into the intercom and began to give the combat order: "All note, the target of our attack this time is a strong fortress group consisting of six fortresses on the other side of the Nèn River!" The fortress group stands on the bank of the Nèn River, five kilometers north of Qiqihar City, and has brought huge casualties to all my troops crossing the river! From now on, the planes enter the attack course and destroy it completely! ”

Occasionally, the remnants of anti-aircraft shells flew in the air, and these were supposed to be shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns deployed by the Japanese army on various air defense positions. However, it was not violent, apparently the long-range artillery and the first few of the Anjia army in the battle of crossing the river

o Bombers have long regarded those anti-aircraft positions as key targets, and there are few surviving anti-aircraft guns left.

After receiving replies from the pilots of the long planes in the two-plane formation, Xiang Shuang piloted the bomber and was the first to adjust the course and enter the attack route.

At this time, the pilots began to adjust the dive angle to thirty-five degrees, which should be enough for such a large target as the upper fortress.

At this time, the two banks of the Qiqihar River are more than 60 kilometers north and south. The war is raging.

Ye Cheng concentrated the forces of the Second Tank Army and the 19th and 43rd Armies under his command and began to launch a forcible crossing operation on the east bank of the Nèn River.

Prior to this, Peng Wanjun's 1st Tank Army had crossed the river at Fufeng in the upper reaches of the Nèn River and captured the town of Tai'an behind the town of Ningnian (now Fufu).

According to the Japanese army guarding Ningnian Town, where did they see the scene of hundreds of tanks rushing on the plain? If it was said that there was still a sense of earning a little bit of life by holding hostages, but it was over after seeing the tank cluster of the An Jiajun) At this time, the Japanese rangers attached to the First Tank Army carried a white flag into the town to persuade them to surrender, and soon, An Ruoyi's Second Tank Division occupied Ningnian without blood.

After Colonel Mu Chun, the commander of the 133rd Division, who had been blocked by Ning Nian Town for a few days, met with An Ruoyi, he hurriedly led his troops eastward. At this time, two other divisions of the 41st Army. Having recovered all the towns along the railway north of Longmen Town, Major General Lei Dong, commander of the group army, ordered the 133rd Division to rush to Bei'an, join up with the main force of the group army, and move south together to force Harbin. Recover all areas north of the Songhua River.

On the southern front, the 55th Division of the 19th Army had already wiped out the Japanese troops defending the town of Jiangqiao, crossed the Nèn River from the south, and successively occupied Daxing and Tangchi.

After the launch of today's battle to cross the river, the First Tank Army pressed from the north to the south, and the 55th Division blocked the passage of the Japanese army to the south, while the main force launched a forced attack from west to east.

Gannan Town (now Fularji) forced crossing point, Ye Cheng personally visited the front line. From a distance, he saw dozens of pontoon bridges lined up on the river, and a large number of troops were walking or riding from improvised roads to the ferry, in the fields in the distance. The long two-column Leopard II tanks, accompanied by smoke from diesel engines, "rumbled" forward.

Around the crossing point, the propaganda team was constantly beating the allegro to encourage the officers and men crossing the river, and on both wings, fighters of the Anjia Army Air Force were constantly whizzing through the air from west to east.

At least two hundred meters from the ferry, the armoured command vehicle turned around and turned into a dense grove.

After the car stopped in the woods, the guard in the front passenger seat was the first to get out of the car and opened the door for Ye Cheng. The troops who maintained order at the ferry in the distance had already discovered this somewhat peculiar convoy. Therefore, when Ye Cheng and his party walked out of the woods, they had not yet walked a few steps. A lieutenant colonel ran over with the guards to report.

After listening to the report, Ye Cheng waved his hand: "Go on." Let the troops through the ferry as soon as possible. ”

At this time, a team of energetic soldiers passed by Ye Cheng, ordinary soldiers carried automatic rifles, machine gunners held general-purpose machine guns, and each squad and platoon had special personnel carrying bazookas. Behind a group of jeeps and trucks, pulling cannons, Ye Cheng also saw mortars carrying 50mm and 60mm caliber mortar barrels and bases.

Ye Cheng and Chief of Staff Huang Hanqian watched from the sidelines, they knew that these were the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Front Army, and although their degree of mechanization was not as good as that of the tank troops under the command of the two, their spirit was not bad at all. All the soldiers saluted Ye Cheng and Huang Hanqian, who were dressed in regular clothes, and because it was a battlefield, the two did not return the salute, but only nodded slightly, greeting these young officers and soldiers who were generally around 20 years old.

Ye Cheng and his entourage came to the Nèn River, and saw the smoke billowing on the other side of the river, the open fire extinguishing the explosion of shells everywhere, and the shouts of killing were overwhelming, and the troops who had already crossed the river were advancing rapidly according to the predetermined plan.

Ye Cheng raised his telescope and saw a huge fortress five or six kilometers northeast of the ferry, constantly spraying tongues of fire outward, although it was shelled, and the fortress was bursting with fire, but it was not falling, and the sky was filled with black smoke, and the violent explosion sound was clearly audible.

At this time, there was a loud roar of aircraft engines in the air, and almost everyone subconsciously looked overhead.

Ye Cheng saw a group of planes descending in altitude. Hurriedly took a closer look with a telescope, and then showed a smile on his face, and said to Lieutenant General Huang Hanqian, the chief of staff beside him: "It's our bomber, it seems to have brought a big guy, and now it is entering the bombing route."

Huang Hanqian was also looking with a telescope: "I don't know if the Air Force can finalize this hard bone!" As long as this fortress is conquered, there will be no hindrance all the way to the south of Qiqihar City! ”

The bombers in the air formed two in a formation and began to dive at a small angle.

In the telescope, the commanders of the various units could clearly see that when the planes were less than a meter above the top of the fortress, one after another black bombs broke away from the aircraft. Smash into the various striking points of the fortress.

A violent explosion sounded, and a huge aerial bomb hit the top of the fortress, and a huge cloud of smoke jumped dozens of meters high! In the dazzling flash, the smoke was filled, and almost the entire castle was covered in scattered dust, and the pilots dropped it very accurately, and several bombs accurately hit the center of the fortress!

The second and third groups of bombers followed and swooped down, with the tallest of the forts in second

o Collapsed in an explosion! When five batches of planes have dropped their bombs, the once majestic fortress group is gone, and only a cloud of smoke remains!

In this way, the pilots of the An Jiajun are not satisfied. Because many of the collapsed ruins are still relatively intact, the Japanese army can still rely on the wreckage of these buildings to resist stubbornly. Therefore, the bomber did not immediately return home. The bombs continued to be dropped, this time dropping silvery napalm instead of the big ones like the one just now.

Dense explosions, enveloping the wreckage of the entire fortress, followed by a flood of fire, and it didn't take long for the entire fortress to be enveloped in fire, and from a distance it looked like a mountain of flames in myths and legends.

The plain was unobstructed, and the tremendous power of the bombing of the planes shook the hearts of all those who had never seen such a scene. The power of the explosion of the aerial bomb is not comparable to that of ordinary shelling, and the napalm is even more terrifying! Many fighters of the Northeast Front had never seen such a scene at all. I feel that my soul has been greatly impacted, and my imagination is full of excitement and pride -- this is our invincible air force!

Not only the officers and soldiers of Anjia saw this scene, but also the Japanese soldiers in the northern cities saw the huge smoke that rose after the violent explosion of the fortress and the flame hell after that, like a huge warning sign reminding the devil soldiers that the Anjia army was determined to capture Qiqihar and would do whatever it took to do so!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the former Russian consulate building south of Qiqihar City was illuminated by the summer sun, and the Russian-style building lost its former tranquility. Intense gunfire and explosions have turned this place into a hell of blood and fire!

Infantry of a regiment of the 43rd Army. Blocked near the intersection of the Consulate and Lonza Park, the street leads directly to the city. Along the street all the way to the north, you can reach the provincial capital and barracks in the north of Qiqihar City. This area was originally surrounded by woods, but it was cut down by the Japanese army, and only short tree stumps remained, and the view was very open.

The Japanese not only built barricades on the roads and dug trenches in the woodlands, but also occupied the only commanding heights here, the Russian consulate. The consulate was as high as the fifth floor, and the top tower was more than 45 meters high, and the Japanese not only built more than a dozen machine-gun positions there, but also moved mortars and infantry guns to them, becoming the commanding heights, observation posts and fire support points of this defensive zone!

The Japanese army was originally full of confidence in holding this place, in their opinion, although the Anjia army had fierce firepower, if they only relied on weapons such as rocket launchers, they would not even want to approach the light yellow sè outer wall of the consulate, and the firepower on the commanding heights strictly controlled this area! The building of the consulate, like other buildings of the Russians, was built very strongly, direct fire with small arms did not work at all, and it was not only the threat of the consulate building and the nearby Japanese troops, the observation post at the height could clearly see this large area, and guide the artillery to carry out the shelling!

However, this confidence was soon shattered.

More than a dozen helicopters quickly flew to the consulate area, the dense honeycomb rocket launchers on both sides of the huge fuselage emitted a deep light, almost in the blink of an eye, the helicopter gunships fired meteor-like rockets at the machine gun positions and artillery positions on the top of the consulate, and then the roof of the building burst into a violent fire, explosions sounded one after another, after a round of rocket merciless baptism, these machine guns and artillery positions can only use the remaining sandbags to prove their existence.

Subsequently, the helicopter gunships struck at a number of firing points in the building, and the infantry of the Anjia Army rushed into the courtyard of the consulate with shouts, entered the building, and engaged the Japanese troops at close range.

Everywhere in Qiqihar City, there were fierce firefights, and the firepower points built by the Japanese army on Nanbei Avenue and Xinfang Street rose one after another or exploded violently.

After a day and a night of fighting, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the Japanese army in Qiqihar was completely annihilated by the First Army, the 149th Division and a ** garrison stationed in Qiqihar were completely annihilated, more than 30,000 devils left only more than 2,000 prisoners, 20,000 puppet Manchu troops surrendered 11,000 people, and the most important city north of the Songhua River was finally recovered.
