Chapter 554: Divert the Tiger from the Mountain

However, just when the Japanese aviation unit intercepted Han Yunhua and his guard regiment in Saibei, Okamura Ningji never imagined that there was also a small number of aviation units quietly killing the most important seaport of the Japanese army in northern China, Qingdao Port.

Speaking of Qingdao Port, we have to talk about the difficult predicament that the Japanese puppet army in the north has to face, originally it was the established national policy of the Japanese base camp to feed the war by war, but because a large area of the occupied area in northern China was recovered by the squadron, which made the Japanese army only with the output of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces and regions, it was simply unable to attack the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, so it had to transport a large number of weapons and ammunition and supplies from the country.

However, after the disastrous defeat of Tianjin and the Battle of Midway, Japan not only lost the natural and excellent seaport of Tianjin, China, but also lost a large number of naval forces, so at this time, both the Japanese army had a transport fleet and a port of call.

Okamura Ninji is also very good, and in a very short period of time, he sent troops and Chinese people to expand and repair Qingdao Port, the largest natural and excellent seaport in Shandong. To be honest, compared to the port of Tianjin, the port of Qingdao is undoubtedly another excellent seaport in northern China that is most suitable for Japan. It was precisely because of Okamura Ningji's move that Japan's domestic materials and ammunition were continuously transported into Shandong, which also allowed the remnants of the Japanese army to gain a firm foothold in Shandong in a short period of time, and was not taken by Han Yunhua's troops in one go.

Today is another rare sunny day, Qingdao port is still busy, whether it is the commander of the Japanese army Qingdao garrison Major General Otsuka relic, or the puppet security army commander of the 2nd Division Li Zhibin is in a very good mood, today not only a small fleet and more than a dozen large transport ships docked, but also dozens of large merchant ships anchored in Qingdao port. This is a real benefit for the entire Qingdao garrison force, in this troubled era there is a gun is the king of grass, Qingdao Port in the eyes of Otsuka and Li Zhibin is a fragrant bait, every day whether it is Chinese or Japanese or Korean, as long as it is not a warship, as long as you want to dock in Qingdao Port to replenish supplies, you must pay the corresponding taxes, this tax is not set by Japan, of course, it is not formulated by the North China Front Command, but the Qingdao Garrison Command or directly said that the Otsuka testament himself formulatedAs for how much to collect, to whom and how to collect, Li Zhibin and his Second Division of the Imperial Association Army are specifically responsible. In just over a year, Otsuka's widow and Li Zhibin were in cahoots, leviing heavy taxes on passing merchant ships and even fishing boats, making a lot of money.

But the two brainless guys apparently only cared about making money, and had forgotten their duties as soldiers, although the Japanese radar outside Qingdao had already detected a large number of planes flying towards Qingdao Port and had reported to the garrison headquarters. However, Otsuka's posthumous training, who was one of the participants in Okamura's plan this time, obviously did not expect, and certainly did not think that those big guys flying in the sky would be the Chinese air force, because the Chinese air force would not leave their secret airfield due to the difficulty of replenishing fighters, and of course, it would not appear in the coastal port of Qingdao. Moreover, the aviation units in the Qingdao garrison this time have also been transferred, and it is likely that the one who will come back at this time will be his own fleet, so Major General Otsuka's posthumous training did not care.

However, Shangguan Qingyun will not leave any mercy for Otsuka's posthumous training, Shangguan Qingyun knows better than anyone the current situation of the Japanese, because almost all the fighters have been sent to Saibei, so all the Japanese airfields in the entire Shandong are empty, and the Qingdao airfield, which originally had a flight squadron stationed, is now empty, and there will not be a fighter plane to prevent Shangguan Qingyun and others from enjoying this luxurious flying feast.

Although in Shangguan Qingyun's prediction, the air defense system of Qingdao Port and Qingdao Airport is likely to cause some trouble to his air force, after all, the coastal defense forces of Qingdao Port are not all vases, and the air defense system of Qingdao Port is also very perfect, so Shangguan Qingyun does not think that this combat mission will be easy at all.

But to Shangguan Qingyun's surprise, they had already appeared within the monitoring range of the Japanese radar, but the Japanese city defense troops still did not move at all. Although Shangguan Qingyun didn't know what the Japanese army had in mind, he would not miss this opportunity.

The group did not fly all of them to the airfield outside Qingdao, as the officers and men of the Japanese radar monitoring center thought, but split into two over the airfield, one part flew to the airfield, and the other part flew towards the coastal area. At this time, the Japanese officers in the radar monitoring center had realized that something was extraordinary, revealing a strange atmosphere.

Although the air defense sirens have been sounded, it is clearly too late. Following Shangguan Qingyun's order, dozens of bombers launched carpet bombardment against hundreds of large and small ships moored in the sea of Qingdao Port, especially the small fleet that stood out from the crowd was attacked. At the same time, the airport outside Qingdao was also attacked, not only was the oil depot completely destroyed by a heavy bomb, but even the runway where the planes took off and landed was completely destroyed.

The Japanese air force is indeed very strong, and the air defense battalion of Han Yunhua's guard regiment is the most rapid anti-aircraft fire unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and there is no one of them here. However, under the indiscriminate bombardment of nearly 200 Japanese fighters and bombers, the air defense battalion of the guard regiment suffered heavy casualties despite its strong firepower, and lost more than 370 fighters, six antiaircraft machine guns, and more than a dozen rapid-fire machine guns that had been improved by Han Yunhua himself in just one hour of fighting.

In addition, Han Yunhua's huge convoy was basically wiped out, and the motorcycles were okay, and the blown up was not too serious. But those huge targets are different, the focus of more than 200 aviation planes is not a joke, the whole grove is full of billowing smoke cars and burning trees, although it is winter, but the powerful incendiary bombs do not care about the thick snow on the ground and the trees lightly covered by ice and snow, still ignite the fire.

However, the results of the air defense battalion were also astonishing, shooting down 11 planes in less than an hour after the start of the battle, and probably damaging no less than 10 planes that forced to land, the Japanese air force was completely a deadly fight, and they did not seem to care how much the planes lost, and they vowed not to give up until the Chinese convoy and the resistance forces below were completely wiped out.

However, the Japanese army really made a bloody investment this time, and Okamura Ninji not only sent out all the aviation units under the battle sequence of the North China Front, but even all the aviation units of the Chinese Dispatch Army near the Shandong region were also transferred, and there were more than 300 bombers, fighters, and transport planes.

However, what puzzled Major General Shimada was that the paratroopers and special forces should have participated in the attack a long time ago, but now there was no movement at all, which made people very anxious. Planes can't stay here for long, and with the combat performance of the current Imperial fighters, their combat radius is far from reaching the level of spanning several provinces of China. If the paratroopers do not move within 10 minutes, then Major General Shimada can only order the troops to return, otherwise the aviation units will not even have the fuel to return to the air.

Of course, the paratroopers will not be able to come, because now all the paratroopers and special combat teams have become ghosts under the knife of Han Yunhua's guard regiment, and they have died extremely unjustly. More than 3,300 people have effectively ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
