On the evening of June 24, Yichun's Northeast People's Radio began broadcasting in Chinese and Japanese. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The radio station was purchased in the USSR. It is planned to buy two sets of equipment. Originally, the USSR was not ready to sell the equipment of the Yichun radio station, but the Nomenkan came, and the Soviet side urgently approved the purchase plan.
Radio station equipment for Yichun arrived after the first batch of weapons and equipment arrived. Along with the equipment came a specialist, who was an engineer and was familiar with the equipment. After Yichun completes his mission, he will also go to Yan'an to install a second set of equipment.
Yichun chose two very tall peaks and erected two tall wooden antenna towers on them. Originally, it would have been possible to build one, but for the sake of air defense, Yichun still built two.
The distance between Yichun and the transmission tower is connected by wire, which is very expensive and long. It took so much effort for a simple reason, and one of the target audiences was Japanese.
Koji was not very confident in broadcasting, and was not sure that Yichun's radio waves would definitely reach Japan, so he asked the tower to be as powerful as possible. The Soviets were so confident in their equipment that they said that if they were at a high enough height, they would be able to reach Japan.
At the same time as the equipment was installed, the announcers, editors, engineers, directors and other personnel of the radio station were gradually selected. The Chinese announcers were all young students from Harbin, the male announcers in Japanese were selected from the prisoners of soldiers, and the female announcers were found among the captives in Harbin.
Yichun's propaganda department was very strong, and the radio station was directly subordinate to the propaganda department.
Xiaolu personally designed several radio programs for the radio station to broadcast to Japan, one was world news, one was people's life, one was a literary program, and the other was anti-Japanese news. There are also life columns such as market quotes. Broadcasting to Japan includes Japanese news, the truth of Japan's invasion of China, Japan's family search programs, Japanese literature and art, Japanese literature, and so on.
A Korean and Mongolian program is also being planned.
On the first day, the broadcast reported on the Japanese defeat in the Nomenkan area and the victory of the Soviet army.
The Soviet side also had radio stations and propaganda departments, and they took some of the manuscripts to share with the Yichun side, and tried their best to break the Japanese army's will to fight.
Xiaolu listened to the broadcast of several programs and felt good. The next one is the publication of the newspaper.
On the same day, Iharu's intelligence service sent an inquiry to the underground party in Japan, asking them to determine whether the radio could be received and how effective it was.
The Japanese underground party immediately called back to confirm that the radio was working well and that it could be listened to in several major Japanese cities.
After finishing his propaganda work, he came to the headquarters and sent out a piece of information about the Japanese airfield in the Battle of Nomenkan: in the Hailar area, there are 10 airports; Honghuaerji area, there are 10 airports; (Honghuaerji is located on the banks of the Yimin River, about 100 kilometers south of Hailar); In the Amukulang area, there are 10 airports; In the area of General Temple, there are 4 airports; In the Arshan area, there are two airports.
Only a fraction of these airfields were destroyed. The Japanese Air Force also had the ability to counterattack on a large scale.
In the early hours of June 27, the front command of the Soviet army in Mongolia.
In the past few days, in addition to a lot of exciting news of rear raids and harassment in Yichun, the Soviet side also clearly felt that the enemy's supplies in the direction of Arshan were obviously insufficient, and reconnaissance showed that the Arshan railway station had stopped transporting supplies, and a large amount of supplies for the Japanese army were transported from the direction of Hailar.
However, the political commissar did not agree with Xiaolu's reminder that the Japanese army would sneak attack.
The Soviet Union had a command system, that is, a dual command system, and the political commissar had to sign the battle order before it could be executed.
In the Soviet Army, the political commissar and the commander formed a dual command system in the military unit, and all orders and operational orders had to be made by the commander and the political commissar, the political commissar had the final decision, and the combat order had to be signed by the political commissar. Marshal Zhukov proposed the restoration of the system of responsibility of a single head in response to the inefficiencies and problems caused by this system in the war.
This time, the political commissars focused on offensive and air combat for the operation of aircraft, believing that the Soviet army had dozens of airfields in the Mongolian region, and it would not be a big problem for the Japanese to blow up one or two. If the vast majority of Japanese aircraft were consumed in air combat, the Japanese would not have the ability to sneak attack.
In addition, the Soviet commanders still looked down on the Chinese commanders, believing that they were partisans and had no say in the battlefield.
In the early hours of June 27, Tamchag Prague.
In the early hours of the morning, a slight morning light had already appeared in the east, and the Soviet airfield lookout post was far away from the airfield, and the lookout post had a telephone, and when it was found that the enemy had a gap, it immediately called the airfield to tell the airfield that the air defense forces had time to prepare, and the fighters took off in time.
The phone doesn't work.
What the lookout post couldn't see at all was a few dark shadows shaking between the lookout post and the airfield. This is the prairie, it is the prairie, a few dark shadows, no one pays attention to it at all. I didn't see what the black shadow was doing.
The Black Shadow is a Japanese Einsatzgruppen who managed to find the telephone line and cut it.
Soon, the black shadow disappeared like a ghost, and neither the Soviet army nor the Mongolian army found them at all. Who could have imagined that there would be Japanese people so far from the border?
Soon after the shadow disappeared, the sun came out and the sky dawned.
A large black dot appeared in the eastern sky.
It was a Japanese plane. 30 bombers, under the cover of 74 fighters, pounced on three Soviet airfields.
Japan's military aircraft technology is currently in the early stage of the blowout stage, new and old aircraft coexist, and not many new planes have been put into the battlefield in the past two years. This time the bombers were Ki-30 Type 97 light explosion, and Ki-21 Type 97 heavy explosion. Both bombers were produced by Mitsubishi and were put into service in 1937, and the names were cool.
The aircraft numbers of the Japanese Army are all ki and ku, ki is a non-glider, and ku is a glider.
The shortcomings of the inadequate defense of the airfields of the Soviets were exposed.
As a result, the airfield was lined up with Soviet fighters who had no idea of the Japanese sneak attack, and when they found that the enemy planes were coming, the alarm sounded, and the entire airfield took urgent action, and the pilots ran to the planes, but before they could enter the planes, the Japanese bombs had already smashed on their heads, and almost all of the two dozen planes were blown into scrap metal.
The Soviet troops on the airfield had nothing to do with the bombing.
A few minutes later, the Japanese fighters finished bombing, and the Soviet planes flew away before reinforcements arrived at other airfields.
No sooner had the bombing of Tamchag Prague begun than the call reached the command. The command was shocked and immediately called all the other airfields and asked them to prepare immediately.
Fortunately, the Japanese planes that were preparing in time for the sneak attack on the other two airfields did not have such good luck, and they finally made a long-distance attack over the Soviet airfield.
According to statistics, the actual losses of the Soviet army were only 20, and some of the fighters were eventually repaired, while the losses of the Japanese army, including those shot down and damaged, were almost 20.
As a result of the discussion on the Soviet side, he sent a telegram to Yichun: Thanks to their timely information, the losses of the Soviet planes in the Japanese sneak attack were reduced to a minimum, and the Japanese planes were attacked head-on, and 20 enemy planes were eliminated.
The total number of warplanes parked at the three Soviet airfields that were attacked was only a few dozen. The loss is so small, which is really thankful.
In this sneak attack, Japan's domestic propaganda organizations went all out to create public opinion, saying that it was a great victory blessed by God. Newspapers all over Japan published in black and white the unprecedented results of "destroying 49 Soviet warplanes on the ground and shooting down 99 in the air." This figure is obviously much exaggerated. Three airports, how can so many planes be parked.
Secretly, it's not like that. The Kwantung Army reported the news of the air force's victory in attacking airfields in Mongolia to the Japanese base camp, and the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was furious and very dissatisfied with the Kwantung Army's disobedience. When the news came back, Masanobu Tsuji didn't care about the anger of the base camp.
Reports on Japan's war results are often cited by historians as a guideline, but they may not be accurate.
Yichun was briefed on the battle situation and was excited. The radio immediately broadcast the battle situation.
However, Yichun's attention was mostly focused on the Baicheng-Arshan railway line. At present, the Japanese army has mobilized large forces to reinforce Baicheng from the two directions of Xinjing and Qiqihar. Yichun asked Lin Meng's column to quickly dismantle the railway, and if it was too late to dismantle, it would be completely destroyed. After the destruction, the large forces withdrew, and did not come into contact with the Japanese army.
