Chapter 107: The War Eagle That Shook the World (Part I)
Just as the transport planes were dropping supplies on Baoshan, more than a dozen transport planes also landed at the Nanjing airport, and the Second Front Army had completely taken over the place at this time. Except for the original ground crew and the flight cadets in Nanjing, everyone else was asked out of the airport. The bald head has invested a lot in this airport, and it can be regarded as fate, the instructor of this airport is Feng Ru's apprentice, when Feng Ru was fooled to Fangchenggang by Chen Shao, he also left a few students in Guangzhou, and now these students are here in Nanjing, training pilots for Nanjing.
Seeing the mighty Dapeng-class transport plane landing on it, it turned out that those people in Nanjing were stunned. Looking at his own planes parked next to the runway, he used to be very sorry for those plane treasures. Looking at other people's planes, their own planes are like eagles and chickens, not to mention anything else, if you disassemble your own planes, it is estimated that one of other people's planes can be stuffed with several planes.
Many soldiers wearing southwest camouflage uniforms came out of the plane, but these soldiers were not equipped with rifles, and even pistols were pinned to their waists. With the help of the soldiers guarding the airport, the ground crew quickly unloaded all the contents of the plane. After everything was removed, the ground crew skillfully installed the things one by one. Several iron frames were erected, stacked again, and then clamped with a movable valve in the middle of the iron frames. Soon a proposed conning tower was built. Then pull the cord and the radio intercom one by one.
After all this was done, a ground staff with the rank of lieutenant colonel looked at his watch and said, "Very good, fifteen minutes, standard!" ”
After the conning tower was erected, the transporters unloaded a whole host of other things, which were aviation fuel and ammunition for fighter jets, as well as bombs or fuel tanks that could be used to supply the Warhawk-2.
Ten minutes later, the first batch of fighters arrived over the Nanjing airfield. Under the control of the control tower, the fighters landed on the runway in turn. After waiting for the plane to stop, the ground crew hurriedly ran to the side of the plane, inspected the plane, refueled, and loaded the ammunition. The pilots also seized the time to relax, and in twenty minutes they were about to take off again, this time directly to meet the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
When the pilots in Nanjing saw the pilots of the fighters coming down, they hurriedly ran over. In the future, they will all have to mingle, and these people want to get acquainted with those pilots in the southwest.
As for the pilots in Nanjing, these pilots of the People's Army Air Force did not have the idea of superiority, and they were well educated, which made people feel very talkative. The performance of these aircraft is also explained in great detail.
Hearing the other party's introduction, those 20 or so pilots in Nanjing all felt that these years had been in vain. I have completely fallen behind in what I have learned, and now I am giving myself an airplane, and I don't know if I can fly it proficiently.
The first batch of fighters to support this time is a complete squadron, but the current Warhawk-2 is not fully equipped, and there are many Warhawk-1, but for the performance of the Warhawk-1, it can fully meet the needs of this battle.
Just as the Japanese aircraft carriers began to take off their fighters 50 nautical miles from Baoshan, 16 Hawk-2 and 20 Hawk-1 from the southwest had already completed their formation in the sky at the airfield in Nanjing, and they were heading straight for Baoshan. This is already the first batch of fighters mobilized at the fastest speed, and Nanjing's airport is not large, so it is impossible to take off and land more planes at one time.
The battle came quickly, by this time a wing of the Marine Corps armored wing had landed, and with the help of the transport force, the Japanese troops of the 7th Division had also begun to land on the beachhead. After landing a brigade as the vanguard force, the armored wing opened the way in front, and the soldiers of a brigade followed behind, rushing straight to Xue Yue's army.
The brigade commander who belonged to the Seventh Division was holding back a fire in his belly at this time, and in the face of the sarcasm of the navy, they were unhappy. Who told the Sixth Division to be completely annihilated, and he and others didn't even have an excuse to fight back, can they not be aggrieved?
The armored wing had 32 armored vehicles and 24 small beans, and the Japanese Army at this time had not yet established an armored division on its own, but the Marine Corps already had an armored brigade. Some things are inevitable, and the reason why the Japanese army and navy are always at odds can be directly seen from this.
Just as the Japanese army landed, the tank units of the People's Army in Nanjing, far away, also began to load.
Although the brigade commander of the Japanese Pioneer Brigade was very unhappy at this time, he did not blindly attack and set up artillery positions on the periphery of Baoshan.
The shelling came quickly, and the shelling began as soon as the Japanese artillery positions were constructed. At the same time as the shelling, the Japanese army followed the armored vehicles and Xiaodouding in small units, and slowly touched the 600 meters in front of the Baoshan position, and then stopped advancing. The first round of shelling was soon over, and a squad of infantry scattered and ran towards the position.
Xue Yue, who was on the position, looked at the Japanese army's offensive formation, and was a little puzzled, it was the first time he was dealing with the Japanese army, and he didn't know the other party's purpose in doing so. According to Xue Yue's idea, there are artillery and armored vehicles and tanks, and it is not possible to attack directly, which really makes him scratch his head. If you change the KPA generals, you can see that the other party's goal is not to say how powerful the KPA generals are, but because they have a sufficient understanding of the tactics of the Japanese army.
The defenders of the forward position, seeing that the Japanese infantry began to attack, just when the opponent was still a hundred meters away, the forward position began to attack, the light and heavy machine guns took the lead in firing, and the rifles also began to shoot, but this marksmanship was really not flattering.
A small squad of Japanese infantry was quickly repulsed, and just as the defenders were rejoicing, there was a burst of artillery fire, and all the light and heavy machine guns that had just begun firing were shelled. Xue Yue could see from the telescope that the Japanese troops in the distance who had not yet attacked were firing mortars, and the target was his forward position. The heavy firepower on his forward positions was pulled out one by one, and this time Xue Yue understood that the other party was trying to lure his machine gun to fire and position his artillery.
After the mortars ended, twenty-eight armored vehicles and small beans began to attack, and a brigade of infantry followed behind the combat vehicles. At this time, forty Japanese carrier-based aircraft also arrived at the Baoshan position, and the fuselage of the two-wing structure looked quite large. In the face of the combined attack of the land and air, Xue Yue's soldiers suffered many casualties at once. It was the first time they had faced such an attack, and the first line of defense was quickly breached.
Xue Yue really wanted to order his artillery to return fire at this time, but he did not let go of his firepower, and once his artillery was exposed, it would soon be wiped out by the Japanese planes.
On a mountain in the distance, those reporters and the ordinary workers who helped the excavation stood on it and watched the battle, and at the same time, many Shanghai citizens came to watch. Seeing that the Japanese attack was so sharp, many Chinese people were worried. At this time, a person pointed to the sky behind the Baoshan position and shouted: "Look, everyone, there is a plane coming there, Ken is our plane." ”
Hearing his cry, the people next to him turned their heads in the direction of his finger. Seeing the planes becoming clearer and clearer in the distance, these people also cheered.
The speed of the KPA space is very fast, but the Japanese carrier-based aircraft have also discovered them, but whether it is a type 1 or a type 2 warhawk, the speed is very fast, and those two-wing carrier-based aircraft have not yet begun to climb, and the attack of the warhawk has arrived. The lethality of the 12.7mm aviation machine gun was not something that the two-wing carrier-based aircraft could resist, and more than a dozen of them were destroyed in the moment of contact, but the sacrifice of these planes gave other planes a chance to climb up. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft, which thought they had a chance to counterattack, were disappointed, the speed of the other side was too fast and very flexible.
The two Japanese carrier-based planes had already been staring at one of the enemy troops, but just as the two carrier-based planes were about to open fire, the planes in front of them disappeared at once, and in the eyes of the pilots of the two carrier-based planes, they did disappear at once. At this moment, a machine gun sound came from behind, a Japanese carrier-based aircraft exploded directly in the air, and another carrier-based aircraft swayed from side to side desperately dodging, but the effect was not very good, in the face of the Warhawk-2, which did not know how superior the performance was, it was completely in vain, a few gunshots rang out, and soon followed in the footsteps of the carrier-based aircraft just now. He couldn't even figure out when the other party ran to the back. In fact, when the two carrier-based planes were about to open fire, the Warhawk-2 in front of them climbed directly at a high angle and at high speed, and rolled back a full 180 degrees, appearing directly behind them. This technique is very dazzling, but the quality requirements for the aircraft are too high. Only the Warhawk-2 can sit there, and if it is replaced by the Warhawk-1, it will only disintegrate in the air, and it will definitely not be spared. Moreover, this tactical action is also very demanding for the driver, and there are only a few hundred people in the People's Army who can do it. You must know that the amount of flight training of the KPA Air Force can definitely be regarded as terrifying, and the flight time in a month cannot be less than 300 hours, and if it is not enough, it must be made up, that is, it must fly 10 hours a day, and it is also necessary to learn cultural knowledge. At present, there are 2,000 regular pilots in the Air Force, and excluding those transport planes and bombers, there are only 5 or 600 fighter pilots, and under the training of flight instructors, only one-sixth of them can master this tactic.
In less than 10 minutes, all the 40-odd carrier-based planes were wiped out under the blows of the KPA Air Force. However, the fighters did not leave there, the Warhawk-2 that came this time all carried a 500kg aerial bomb, and sixteen Battlehawk-2 aircraft carried aerial bombs and went straight to the Japanese artillery position. Those Warhawk-1s dived directly down to deal with the Japanese armored vehicles and small beans, and in the face of the 12.7mm aviation machine guns, the Japanese thin skin and small shells could not resist at all, and the armored vehicles of a tank wing were quickly wiped out. The Hawk-2, which had eliminated the artillery position, began to cooperate with the Hawk-1 to eliminate the infantry below, and when the fuel reached the limit, the pilots flew back helplessly.
