Chapter 511 landed in Jinzhou Bay

After reading the European war report forwarded by the base camp, Okamura Ninji's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he immediately strode to the wall, looking at the huge map on the wall and fell into contemplation, the sudden appearance of armed helicopters on the European battlefield is so great a threat to the armored cluster, and more than 4,000 tanks of the German and Russian coalition forces were destroyed in one battle!?

If the squadron is also equipped with such helicopter gunships, how should the Kwantung Army respond?

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill rose in Okamura Ningji's heart, emotionally, he was very reluctant to believe that the squadron would have this gunship, but reason told him that the squadron ** team was likely to really have this big killing weapon, because in the past two months, the behavior of the squadron was too abnormal.

Suddenly, Okamura Ninji's eyes fell on Liaodong Bay on the map.

It's not good, I'm afraid that the squadron will give up the plan to counterattack the northeast by land and forcibly land from Liaodong Bay instead!

Originally, the Kwantung Army was least worried about the forced landing of the squadron in Liaodong Bay, but once the squadron was really equipped with armed helicopters, then the situation would be completely different.

"Command!" Okamura Ninji Huo Ran turned around and ordered sharply, "The 4th Front Army immediately strengthens the shore fortifications around Liaodong Bay, and the 20th Brigade of the Chariot is out of the camp in front!" ”

"Hello." Tamura Yoshitomi bowed his head suddenly, and then walked away with his sword.

Seeing Tamura Yoshitomi leave, Okamura Ninji slowly sat back in his chair, I hope there is still time to come, as long as the above 4 tank divisions and 7 heavy artillery brigades can arrive at the designated area in time, then they can use intensive coastal defense artillery fire to effectively block the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, and it will not be so easy for the squadron to land on the beach.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningji couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, if it wasn't for the purpose of deliberately selling a flaw and luring the Yòu squadron to land in Liaodong Bay, he would not have "intentionally" ignored the shore defense fortifications around Liaodong Bay, but Okamura Ningji never thought that the fake flaw that was deliberately left at the beginning has now become a real flaw! And it's a fatal flaw!

However, it is too late for Okamura Ningji, an old devil, to regret it now, because the squadron's beach-grabbing landing operation in Liaodong Bay has actually begun.

…………

After more than three months of intense training, the first batch of army aviation pilots in Siye finally passed the rigorous examination.

In addition, two helicopter factories in Myanmar have finally produced more than 300 KM-32 armed helicopters in 3 months under the condition of expanding and producing, Myanmar's production capacity is still incomparable with the United States, the same model, the Americans have produced more than 3,000 units!

Almost at the same time that Okamura Ninji got the news, Yue Weihan also received a good news from the Allied Headquarters.

At this time, more than 300 KM-32 helicopter gunships have been urgently airlifted by the transport plane (with the propellers removed) to Qingdao Cangkou Airport, and after reinstalling the coaxial reverse twin rotors, more than 300 helicopters have boarded the only four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy: Chang'an, Nanjing, Shanghai and Wuhan.

At this time, the range of the gunship was extremely short, so it was necessary to take off from the aircraft carrier to participate in the war.

As for the fixed-wing fighters of the aviation divisions of the Fourth Field Army, since the airfields in Qingdao, Tanggu, Beiping, and Jinan are not far from Liaodong Bay, they can completely take off from land airfields under the guidance and command of early warning planes and provide air fire support to ground troops rushing to land on beaches.

When everything was ready, Yue Weihan immediately ordered an attack.

In an instant, more than a dozen warships and hundreds of armed merchant ships of the Chinese Navy loaded with six infantry regiments and one tank regiment of the first echelon set sail from Tanggu, Qingdao, Weihai and other ports, and after completing their assembly near Daqin Island, they immediately pounced on Jinzhou Bay under the cover of more than 1,500 Mustang fighters of the aviation division!

When the Chinese Air Force's aircraft group broke into within 150 kilometers of the northeastern mainland, more than a dozen radar stations arranged by the Kwantung Army in the front line simultaneously captured a large number of air targets, and immediately issued an early warning to the Kwantung Army front-line command.

In the past few months, the Chinese Air Force has also twice dispatched more than 500 Mustang fighters to break into the airspace of the northeast, but the Kwantung Army Air Force has chosen to avoid the war, and only when the Chinese Mustang has carried heavy bombs or bombers have entered the airspace over the northeast, the Kwantung Army Air Force's zero fighter group will be dispatched in a big way.

However, this time, the aviation of the Kwantung Army could no longer avoid the war.

The old devil Okamura Ninji has just given a death order to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army aviation group, Admiral Hidetomo Yamamoto, to inflict heavy damage on the transport ships and aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy at all costs, especially the 4 air carriers of the Chinese Navy that can carry a large number of armed helicopters, and they must be destroyed!

The Chinese and Japanese air forces immediately broke out in the largest air battle in the history of Asia over the Bohai Sea!

From the outbreak of the war at 9 a.m. to the withdrawal of the two sides from the battlefield at 5 p.m., the Chinese side dispatched more than 12,000 fighters and shot down more than 200 of them, while the Japanese air force dispatched more than 25,000 fighters of various types and shot down more than 1,200 planes, including more than 900 bombers that ventured to attack.

The Kwantung Army Air Force was forced to engage in a head-on decisive battle with the Chinese Air Force in a specified area and at a specified time because of the serious backwardness of its fighters and the loss of the strategic initiative, so it suffered a major defeat in the air battle on the first day, and in just one day, the Kwantung Army Air Force lost less than one-third of all combat aircraft!

However, due to the desperate containment of the Kwantung Army's air force, the Chinese Air Force was no longer able to provide air fire support to the ground troops landing in Jinzhou Bay, and this caused great difficulties for the ground troops to land on the beach.

Fortunately, the Chinese Navy's naval guns still provided strong support for the landing force, and the Kwantung Army did not build impregnable coastal fortifications on the coastal coast of Jinzhou Bay, and the deployed defensive forces were not many, so the battle lasted until 4:05 p.m., and the six infantry regiments of the first echelon plus one tank regiment finally succeeded in seizing the beach.

The next day, the Chinese and Japanese air forces again broke out large-scale air battles in more than a dozen airspace over Bohai Bay.

The 10 infantry divisions, 2 tank divisions, and 4 heavy artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army, which had urgently returned from western Liaoning, finally approached Jinzhou Bay, and the pressure on the 4 infantry divisions, 1 tank division, and 1 heavy artillery division that had landed in Siye suddenly increased greatly, and the Siye headquarters immediately dispatched more than 500 Mustang fighters loaded with heavy aerial bombs and rockets to bomb.

On the way, the bomber group was intercepted by the Japanese air force, and the Mustang fighter plane was loaded with a bomb weighing 1,000 pounds, which caused a significant reduction in maneuverability, flight speed, and endurance.

At the critical moment, the only one army aviation division in Siye took off urgently from four aircraft carriers and rushed to the battlefield.

With unlimited air mobility and 8 90mm rockets on board, more than 300 armed helicopters of the Siye Army Aviation Division severely damaged 2 tank divisions and 4 heavy artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army returning from western Liaoning, destroying a total of more than 500 Japanese tanks and more than 400 150mm caliber heavy howitzers!

In the final analysis, the KM-32 is only the most primitive helicopter gunship, and although the steel plate installed on the fuselage is enough to resist the heavy machine gun of 12.7mm caliber, it is not enough to defend against the 20mm caliber machine gun.

In total, more than 60 KM-32 helicopter gunships were hit, 16 of which crashed.

Although the initial exercise of the armed helicopter in the Asian theater did not achieve such dazzling results as the European battlefield, it also severely damaged the armored cluster and heavy artillery cluster of the Kwantung Army's emergency reinforcement, and the Kwantung Army's counteroffensive posture on Jinzhou Bay suddenly collapsed.

…………

Jinzhou, the front command of the Kwantung Army.

The news of the defeat of the 3rd Front Army's reinforcement force finally came back, and Okamura Ninji put down the phone and remained silent for a long time.

With a wave of his hand, Yoshitomi Tamura, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, the entire command headquarters suddenly became a pot of porridge, the communications staff officers were busy carrying equipment, the combat staff officers were busy destroying materials, and those beautiful NV secrets were even rushed out of the headquarters like a rush, and they were locked up in almost airtight armored trucks.

Immediately, Tamura Yoshitomi walked to Okamura Ningji's side again, and said sincerely: "Your Excellency, the forward armored force of the Chinese Army is less than 20 kilometers away from Jinzhou, please evacuate quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"Yaga, Yaga, Yalu!" Okamura Ninji was furious, slapped Tamura Yoshitomi twice with his backhand, and said angrily, "Rice buckets, all rice buckets, dead and dead, all dripping and dripping!" ”

Okamura Ninji finally lost his composure, and finally burst into a rage.

Although there were already amazing examples of battles in the Balkan theater, Okamura Ninji still did not expect that the threat of helicopter gunships to armored targets on the ground and heavily equipped targets would be so great!

In the face of the air attack of the helicopter gunship, the Type 4 tank is as fragile and explosive as a jī bullet!

As for the large-caliber heavy howitzers that need to be towed by trucks and rely heavily on road mobility, once they are discovered by the gunships of the squadron, then it basically means that they will be destroyed, unless there happens to be a strong underground fortress nearby, otherwise, the clumsy heavy artillery has nothing to hide.

Although the gunship is only equipped with ordinary rockets and only has a rudimentary observation and sighting system, the unique hovering and overlooking attack method of the gunship greatly improves the hit rate of the rocket, because the trajectory of the rocket from the air is obviously much more affected by gravity.

What particularly made Okamura Ninji extremely depressed was that in the face of the air attack of the armed helicopters, it was difficult for the Kwantung Army's Type 4 tanks and heavy howitzers to carry out an effective counterattack, that is to say, the Kwantung Army's armored clusters and heavy artillery clusters could only be beaten but could not fight back, which was the most demoralizing shock.

"Hello!" Tamura Yoshitomi straightened his head, and suddenly bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency Marshal, please be sure to evacuate!" ”

"I won't withdraw, and I can't withdraw!" Okamura Ningji stared at Tamura Yoshitomi deadly, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, like a hungry tiger that chose people to eat, and then said, "Jinzhou is an important military town in South Manchuria, and it is the pivot that connects Liaoxi, Liaodong and North Manchuria, how can you give up easily?" ”

After saying that, Okamura Ninji sonorously chōu took out the saber given by Emperor Hirohito, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Order, the gendarmerie teams, police forces, armed pioneer regiments, and Manchurian ** of the nearby counties and townships immediately assemble in Jinzhou, and then send a telegram to the headquarters of the various armies in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and ask them to transfer the Jīng Rui troops and return to Jinzhou as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Tamura Yoshitomi said miserably, "Jinzhou is no longer defensible!" ”

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji was furious again, and the battle knife in his hand was put on Tamura Yoshitomi's neck, and he roared fiercely, "This is an order, execute it immediately!" ”

"Hello!" Yoshitomi Tamura bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order.

The Japanese staff officers, who had just been busy carrying radio equipment and destroying documents, looked at each other for a moment, and after a while, these staff officers returned to their respective posts amid Okamura's roar.

…………

Tianjin Xiǎo Station, Siye Front Command.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Mr. Zuo hurriedly walked into the battle hall, and in an instant, in the entire battle hall, the eyes of all the senior generals and staff officers gathered on Mr. Zuo, but just looking at the excited look on Mr. Zuo's face, he knew that there must be good news coming back from the front.

Sure enough, Zong Zuo stood up and said to Yue Weihan: "General seat, the front line is urgent, the Army Aviation Division has severely damaged the armored cluster and heavy artillery cluster of the Kwantung Army ten kilometers west of Jinzhou Bay, and destroyed a total of more than 500 Type IV tanks and more than 400 heavy howitzers of 150mm caliber, and the counteroffensive posture of the Kwantung Army has collapsed!" ”

Mr. Zuo's voice fell, and the entire battle hall suddenly thundered with joy, everyone hugged or high-fived correspondingly, and even burst into tears, today's victory is enough to go down in history, not only because this time Siye is a victory under absolute disadvantage, but also because this opponent is the powerful Kwantung Army and the "invincible" Okamura Ningji!
