April 1, 1943, Hailan Pao, across the Heihe River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nearly seven months have passed since September last year. Northeast China and Yan'an repeatedly discussed, prepared a large amount of supplies, and mobilized a number of troops.

Spring has arrived, and intelligence from all sides indicates that now is the most difficult moment for the Japanese army. For the Northeast Coalition Army, now is the last chance to attack. Now, the temperature is gradually rising, and the thick ice sheet of Heilongjiang is gradually softening. Now, heavy equipment can still cross the river, and after a week, the ice sheet will not be able to withstand heavy equipment.

In two or three weeks, the river will be opened. After the opening of the river, it will be difficult for large troops to cross the river, because of the drift ice, no ship can sail.

So Yan'an decided to immediately start an attack on the Japanese army in the outer northeast.

The Northeast Allied Forces fought a comprehensive war against Japan in the Far East of the former Soviet Union, with the aim of recovering the country's territory and pulling the Soviet Union away from extinction.

The first step in the campaign is the Hailan bubble. Hailan Pao was the center of the Japanese army's communication line, and as soon as it was cut off here, the Japanese army's logistics supply was immediately cut off.

The strategic weakness of the Japanese occupation of the Far Eastern Railway was exposed: a long line, any place was cut off, and the whole situation was immediately paralyzed.

The nights of Hailan Bubble have gradually become shorter, the days have begun to get longer, at 4 o'clock in the morning, it is still very dark, however, if someone has night vision goggles, it can already be seen that some people in white clothes have begun to move around Hailan Bubble, each person has a bundle of hay branches, and piles of grass are arranged around Hailan Bubble. Viewed from above, these fires formed straight lines, and the intersection points to the military points of the Japanese army.

At half past four, the roar of planes was heard from the south, and all the fires on the ground were ignited together.

Those who are familiar with the tactics of the Northeast Coalition Army know that this tactic of guiding the air force from the ground is an important means for them to solve the problem of insufficient communication and search for areas and lack of aviation experience.

Soon, the plane flew, and now although it was night, when viewed from the plane, the arrows formed by these fires were still very clear to the plane, the intersection of the straight lines was still very clear, and the planes began to change formation, aim at the target, and drop bombs.

The bomb began to explode on the ground, and the fire that exploded on the ground immediately suppressed the bright light of the fire. Hundreds of aerial bombs were dropped in a few minutes, and the entire Hailan was in a sea of fire, and the vehicles, fuel, houses, and ammunition on the ground kept burning and exploding.

The explosion of the fortifications outside Hailan Pao City gradually stopped, and in the firelight, the Japanese army began to put out the fire and save people. Unexpectedly, not far from the edge of the position, people began to shoot, and the people who fired were very scattered, and there was only one person more than ten meters.

Less than half an hour after the first bombardment, the second wave began.

In Hailanpao, the Japanese army had an airfield with more than a dozen aircraft. In addition, the Japanese army had more than a dozen airfields along the railway, and having learned the lessons of the last time, the Japanese army had more than two hundred aircraft deployed here.

The original battle plan was that the planes would take off and be guided by the ground and bomb the Japanese airfields first, but this plan was not approved by the Air Force, and the Air Force complained that the Air Force in the northeast now has only more than 200 planes, all of which are of any type, and the double-winged planes assembled by themselves are all old Japanese planes. Not only is the quantity insufficient, but the quality is also insufficient.

Recent intelligence said that the Japanese army had deployed more than 100 new planes along the railway line, and the air force had asked various units to send special forces and ground troops to raid the Japanese airfields, and the air force was willing to send a large number of technical personnel to guide the various units in carrying out surprise attacks and get as many planes as possible.

This plan was approved by the operational meeting of the headquarters, but it was very difficult for the various units to carry it out, not only to destroy the Japanese personnel, but also to retain the aircraft, and the air force's requirements were very excessive, requiring not to blow up the oil depot and not to blow up the control tower.

The army complained, and while it could be done, it meant paying the price of the dead.

The command issued an order for the units to use their brains and come up with good ways not only to take the airfield, but also to reduce the number of deaths. It's been training for so long, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk. Fighting a war is not only a matter of being ruthless, but also of using one's brains. If you want the Air Force to support the operation, but you don't want to help the Air Force build, how can there be such a good thing?

Now this season, the snow has already begun to melt, the temperature is above zero during the day, the snow melts, and the temperature is below zero at night, and when the cold wind blows, it freezes again, and the air is humid, and it feels colder than in winter. The troops, dressed in white, near the airfield, have been lying in ambush on the snow and ice for several hours for the sake of the raid.

After half past four in the morning, explosions were heard in the city, and before five o'clock, three cars and several motorcycles drove up to the airfield, all Japanese vehicles, with military flags planted on the front of the cars.

Explosions have already been heard at the airfield, air defense has begun, planes have begun to prepare, and if there is a situation, they will take off immediately.

The sentry at the airfield shouted: "Stop for inspection." What's going on in the city? ”

The car stopped in front of the airport sentry post, and a man said: "It's the same as the other day, but more shells are falling." The command asked us to assist the airfield and prevent a sneak attack. ”

The sentry said, "Wait a minute, I'll report back." "Start calling.

The command at the airport received a call and immediately called Hailan Pao to verify, the phone had just been connected, and the earphones suddenly rang twice, and the voice of the headquarters said: "Which one?" ”

Airfield: "Excuse me, did you send someone to the airport?" ”

Command: "Yes. Three trucks, four motorcycles. ”

Airport: "Why couldn't I get through on the phone just now?" ”

Headquarters: "The Eighth Route Army bombed just now. "The phone hung up.

The airfield immediately gave an order: let reinforcements in.

As soon as the vehicle drove in, the soldiers got out of the car, and without even assembling, they immediately ran to the various posts, and in less than two minutes, all the posts had reinforcements.

The remaining two dozen or so people walked towards the command and the pilot's quarters.

Before the airfield command could verify it just now, the other party put down the phone, although he issued an order to let reinforcements in, he always felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?

He walked out of his office and was confronted by the captain of the reinforcements.

At this time, Hailan Bubble continued to hear the sound of explosions.

He suddenly knew something was wrong, an explosion. The sound of explosions in the urban area has been continuous, and in the phone just now, the other party's voice was clear, and there was no strong explosion sound.

As a commander, he knew that instead of calling the underground war room, he called the duty room on the first floor.

Sensing the problem, he immediately shouted, "Who are you?" ”

The other party said: "We are the Northeast Coalition Army. As he spoke, two people grabbed him, one left and one right.

Gunfire began to be heard from all over the airfield.

Soon, the gunfire thinned out.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

The troops who had been in ambush around the airfield rushed up. They saw what was going on inside the airfield and got their hands on it.

As soon as they rushed to the vicinity of the gate of the airfield, a snowdrift on the right side of the gate suddenly sounded machine guns, and the fighters quickly lay down, and more than a dozen people were shot.

It was a bunker, I don't know how, it wasn't occupied. The troops outside the airfield gate were suppressed.

At this moment, more than a hundred meters away from the south side of the airport gate, there was a tom sound, and then, a violent explosion came from the dark fort.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the airport was fully occupied, and the first captured planes took off and flew back to the Sun-Wu airfield. Zhu Chi sent a good news to Harbin, seized the plane, captured more than 50 Japanese pilots, and completely occupied the airfield. Without waiting for the headquarters to congratulate, the Air Force's congratulatory message had already been sent, and the gratitude was beyond words.

The Northeast Coalition continued to attack Hailan Pao. This time, the army made a loud noise and surrounded Hailan Bubble, and all the heavy weapons were put on the field to bombard the Japanese fortifications. This is a tough battle for the Northeast Coalition Army, and they have to test and temper their strength and tactics to attack the fortified positions. In the afternoon, the Japanese artillery positions were completely destroyed, and large troops and heavy equipment were scattered on the river surface for several tens of kilometers and crossed the river together.

In the afternoon, the large army crossed the river. Engineers reported that the intensity of the river ice had decreased, and the crossing of supplies had been suspended.

By the evening of April 1, all the fortifications on the outskirts had been conquered and the railroad had been cut off. The remnants of the Japanese army hid in the city of Hailan and prepared for street fighting.

At the beginning, in order not to waste security forces, the Japanese army carried out a massacre, and the Japanese killed red eyes, and almost all the residents of the Soviet Union were killed. There are almost no local civilians in the city, and the current civilians are all Japanese.

On April 2, the Northeast Coalition Air Force bombed again.

This time the bombing took place during the day, concentrated in the urban area, and the entire city was blown into ruins. This was an experimental bombing by the Northeast Coalition Army. Most of their air force pilots have only flown for a few dozen hours and have no actual combat experience. This time it's a battle to give them experience.

For the next three days, the Northeast Coalition and the Japanese army fought street battles. The street fighting was very fierce, and all the middle-level officers of Zhu Chi's troops had experience in street fighting in Nanjing, and they were all experts in street fighting.

On April 5, Zhu Chi sent a good news to Harbin that Hailanbao was fully occupied, and our troops were divided into two routes to attack the Japanese stronghold along the railway, actively expanding the results of the battle.

On April 6, the first batch of railway troops arrived at Hailanpao. The railway troops consisted of combat units, transport defense units, repair teams, drivers, crews. After arriving at Hailanpao, the railway began to be restored immediately.

On the evening of April 6, the results of Hailan Pao's battle came out, and the Northeast Coalition Army annihilated more than 4,000 enemies and captured more than 10,000 Japanese civilians. More than 2,000 soldiers were captured. Nearly 100 aircraft, a number of aviation facilities, and a number of aviation fuel were seized. The most important thing is that hundreds of tons of grain were seized here.

In addition to railway facilities and aviation facilities, most of the city is in ruins, only some of the sturdy houses can still be used, and all public facilities have been destroyed in street fighting.

After Hailanpao occupied, Yan'an immediately sent a congratulatory telegram, asking them to quickly occupy the other side, focusing on occupying the railway and destroying the Japanese army.
