Chapter 523: The Air Defense Battle of North Manchuria(1)
At this time, at the Harbin airport, several low-altitude flying formations made a huge roar, densely packed and circled over the airport one after another, four fighters landed first, followed by eight bombers, several fighters, and eight bombers, and the remaining eight fighters said that they went to the front to help the war and drove away, and there were still four planes hovering over the airport. Seeing that the commander of the Japanese airfield, Yokoo Hirokasa, was full of joy.
He ran out of the control tower to meet the arrival of the flight groups of the flight group, and a major of the aviation corps, who had just disembarked from the plane, saluted him, claiming to be the leader of the bomber group, Inoue, and led the first wave to come first, and the second wave would arrive in an hour, asking him to clear the runway as soon as possible to welcome the arrival of the large force.
Yokoo was overjoyed, thirty-six were the vanguard, and the large army was still behind, what a spectacular scene it should be. Back then, when the empire attacked Rehe and marched into eastern Hebei, the Kwantung Army only dispatched more than 50 planes, all of which were biplanes. It seems that this time the group of Zhina armed forces has provoked His Excellency the Commander, and he will not give up until they are blown up, but unfortunately he is too old to watch this spectacular scene on the plane. He hurriedly organized ground crew, machine inspection, transportation, security troops, and surrounding antiaircraft artillery units to help the technicians and maintenance personnel who disembarked from the plane clear the site and vacate the runway.
The long-awaited 44 planes of the Seventh Flying Regiment arrived in several batches like a flock of crows, large and small, but the common people of Harbin opened their eyes, and within an hour nearly 100 combat planes came, and they all knew that this time the Japanese seemed to have some big move, and at the same time, when they saw the continuous arrival of Japanese planes, they knew that the Japanese army must have some combat plan, and their target must be to keep an eye on the base area. Immediately, regardless of the danger exposed, a red alert was issued to the command of the military district.
A fighter squadron that arrived in advance of 12 planes, except for two patrols, and the remaining 10 planes all landed safely, and the ground crew quickly guided the planes to the tarmac to vacate the runway. Eighteen bombers from the two squadrons then landed smoothly and parked on the tarmac, where the pilots, regimental commanders, and mechanical maintenance personnel were warmly invited into the lounge.
Finally, 14 fighters and 12 reconnaissance fighters landed at Harbin airfield. Lieutenant General Toshinori Kinoshita, commander of the flight group, who was piloting a 97 fighter to land with the last group of planes, stepped off the plane with great interest, shook hands with the airport commander Yokoo Hirochusa, who saluted him, and walked to the lounge together.
Lieutenant General Kinoshita, commander of the flight group, said to the captains of the various flight groups in the lounge: "Your Excellency the commander has ordered us to destroy the anti-United Nations forces led by the cunning, vile, shameless, and cowardly Meng Qingshan of China. Shangjiang area, Nenjiang area, Heihe area. This branch of China not only caused heavy losses to the elite units of our Kwantung Army, but also directly destroyed and blew up hundreds of aircraft, which is a heinous crime! Warriors of the Emperor, you are the air ladies of the Great Japanese Empire, and the dignity of the Great Japanese Imperial Air Force cannot be tarnished! Now is the time for our revenge. I command you, set up your warhawks. Go to Beiman and tear up Meng Qingshan's Beiman base area. Tear apart the mob that supported Meng Qingshan. Let them see the power of my Imperial Japanese Aerial Warhawk! ”
"Onboard, onboard."
"Set off in an hour, now each of them looks at the target they want to bomb in a moment, and don't make a mistake."
"Hey!"
An hour later, hundreds of people walked out of the Japanese dormitory and entered the runway into the planes, and under the order of Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita, commander of the flight group, the planes took off one after another in the form of a group, and the group of planes suddenly divided into several formations and flew into the distance. There is a concentration in the direction of their flight, which is the area where the anti-Japanese alliance is active in the north.
The roar of the plane woke up the drunken Beiman. During this time, the bandits were eliminated due to the Anti-Union. He drove out the Japanese invaders, established anti-Japanese democratic regimes at all levels, and led the people of North Manchuria to organize production, dig tunnels, dig trenches, learn to bury mines, and learn to shoot guns. A vigorous anti-Japanese salvation movement was launched, and after many confrontations with the Japanese army, the people in the North Manchurian base area have identified with the Anti-Japanese Union. Although the anti-Japanese forces and democratic government cadres and propagandists are preaching anti-Japanese propaganda every day. Educate the masses to have experience in dealing with the devil's sweep. But looking at the strong anti-United Nations team, most of the people feel very safe, with such a strong soldier by their side. Secondly, they never want to go back to the past without enough food, and they have to suffer from the **** of the Japanese, are they afraid of some little devils! Discipline him to hit one by one. Let's play a pair of two! Although the Japanese army had captured most of the Shangjiang area, the price they paid was thousands of casualties, and they were attacked by small armed forces in almost a hundred meters.
After Liu Yalou, who was on duty at the headquarters, received the telegram of the red warning, he immediately asked the dispatcher to send a telegram to all military subdivisions and asked all military regions to make air defense preparations. I consciously went down the tunnel, or I hid in the bomb shelter. At this time, the prevention and control measures taken by the Anti-Japanese Federation in order to prevent Japanese air raids had been taken before, and the Japanese army had bombed many times before, which had already made a conditioned reflex for the people in the base area, and as soon as they heard the air defense siren, they consciously began to evade, and in addition, Meng Qingshan always publicized the dangers of aircraft to the people, and the most important thing was that the air defense forces in the base areas were concentrated in the Nenjiang and Heihe areas.
As soon as the Japanese planes entered the airspace of Sun Wu, the Japanese planes were desperately counterattacked by the First Air Defense Regiment of the Air Defense Division of the Northeast Field Army stationed in the fortress of Shengshan.
After receiving the report of the First Air Defense Regiment, the commander of the air defense division, Wang Runcheng, realized that the battle that he had been waiting for was finally coming, this time the Japanese army was really going to bomb Heihe, the air defense division from the division commander to the soldiers was not afraid at all, but the blood was boiling, and the hard training for nearly half a year was finally about to open the meat, all the troops were solemnly waiting under the leadership of each commander and fighter, the soldiers sat on the anti-aircraft machine gun and aimed at the sky, and the auxiliary personnel below also opened the ammunition box and filled the bullets of the machine gun, Box after box of bullets were moved by the logistics soldiers to the side of the anti-aircraft machine gun, you must know that the current air defense force of the Anti-United Nations does not want to be in the past, since the construction of Heihe, Meng Qingshan in order to prevent the Japanese aircraft, just like Jiangbei has repeatedly purchased anti-aircraft machine guns and hoarded ammunition, at the same time, he also sent people to Jiangbei to learn the use of anti-aircraft machine guns, coupled with the participation of Jews, so that the air defense force of the Anti-United Nations has been fully expanded to a division in the past six months. Waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army, Meng Qingshan was originally ready to personally participate in this battle, but Li Fuchun and others were worried about Meng Qingshan's safety, so they directly asked the guards to erect Meng Qingshan into the air-raid shelter.
There were only two routes for Japanese planes to attack Heihe, one was to pass through the Shengshan Fortress to reach the Heihe, and the other was to pass through the Nenjiang River to reach the Heihe, given that the Shengshan Fortress was one of the necessary routes for the Japanese air to attack the Heihe. For this reason, Meng Qingshan deliberately arranged the strength of an air defense regiment there, on the one hand, to let them add a guard post to Heihe, and on the other hand, to guard against the Japanese navy's attack on Heihe from Heilongjiang, when the first air defense regiment was designing its position. Three cluster positions were designed to defend the Heihe River and defend the banks of the Heilongjiang River from three directions. After Meng Qingshan saw the plan. Considering that the first air defense regiment had not been formed long after all, and that the dispersion of firepower was not as good as the concentration of firepower, Zhao Yingjun was asked to change the three positions into one position and directly place them at the southern end of the Heihe River to form a large-depth firepower network. And then. Meng Qingshan also specially taught the tactics of concentrated fire and close combat that our army summed up when it was fighting in Vietnam in later generations, and the First Air Defense Regiment of the small organization conducted several exercises. Feeling that the effect was good, Meng Qingshan ordered Zhao Yingjun to organize soldiers to go to the position to practice once a day, and do a good job of camouflaging the position.
As soon as the enemy planes entered the North Manchurian base area, a telegram from a column came, and on the position of the first air defense regiment, dozens of antiaircraft machine gun companies had already removed their camouflage, and the muzzles and muzzles of the guns in the black hole were pointed in the direction where the Japanese planes were coming, waiting for their arrival and gaining time for the main forces of Heihe in the rear.
