There is no return
Wang Kai, the commander of the air defense division, had just received the order. Xiao Hua, the commander of the aviation regiment, was ready to breathe a sigh of relief when a rapid telephone rang in his office. Immediately after, Commander Xiao Hua, as if reflexive, walked quickly to the telephone and scooped up the phone...
"Is it Commander Xiao Hua, I am Zuo Quan, Chief of Staff of the Headquarters, and now I have an emergency to inform you..."
"Report to the Chief of Staff, I'm Xiao Hua, please instruct the Chief of Staff..."Hearing the voice of the Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, Xiao Hua didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied.
"Comrade Xiao Hua, according to the latest information from our intelligence department. In the face of the sudden arrival of our Northeast Field Army's air force units. The reaction of the Kwantung Army did not surprise the commander-in-chief. Half an hour ago, about a flight division and regiment, totaling more than 100 combat planes of various types, took off from Changchun Airport and were heading for our Fengtian Airport. How about it, is your aviation regiment ready to meet the enemy and protect our Mukden airfield ...
"Chief of Staff, ten minutes ago, the air defense divisions were all in place. So far, the entire Mukden airport has been prepared to meet the enemy. Please ask the chief of staff to tell the commander-in-chief and political commissar that with Xiao Hua here, I will definitely not let the air force units of the Kwantung Army continue to be arrogant in the sky above our base area..." With the reinforcement of the air defense division, Xiao Hua at this moment no longer has any worries. Talking into the microphone, he reported confidently.
"Okay, Comrade Xiao Hua, I will transfer your words to the commander-in-chief and political commissar as they are. We, right at the headquarters, are waiting for your good news...."
"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, ensure that the mission is completed, so that the little devil's flight division will not return...."
Putting down the phone in his hand, Xiao Hua's face was immediately enveloped by a look of excitement. Glancing at the airport plan in front of him, Xiao Hua commanded loudly to the guards at the door.
"Guard, immediately notify the commander of the air defense division Wang Kai and the commander of the 1st Fighter Regiment Comrade Peng Longfei to come to my office, quickly..."
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, a huge formation composed of nearly 100 combat planes of a flying division of the Japanese army is less than 50 kilometers away from the Mukden airfield.
Fifty kilometers, for infantry, even a rapid march, it will take seven or eight hours. However, for the Air Force units, it will take only a few tens of minutes. It can be said that the bomber group of the Kwantung Army, which is frantically retaliating, will come to the sky above Mukden Airport in an instant.
However, compared with the huge size of the Japanese bomber group, at this moment, the entire Mukden airfield, after more than an hour of deployment, has lost its former noise.
The ground crew, who are exceptionally good at camouflage, have disguised all the military facilities at the airport. As for the focus of the Japanese attack, more than 100 combat aircraft. Except for all the fighters of the first regiment of fighters, the rest of the fighters were all hidden in a safe underground hangar....
Compared with the deserted airport, at this moment, the underground headquarters located below the airport is busy. Xiao Hua, the supreme commander of the decisive battle in the open field, was sitting in his position with a calm face, listening to the busy operational staff officers in front of him, and constantly reporting the latest enemy situation to his ears.
"Report to the commander, the observer reports that the Japanese bombing cluster is less than thirty kilometers away from the airport...."A communications staff officer quickly put down the phone in his hand and reported loudly to Xiao Hua, who was silent in front of him.
"Order the observation post and continue the reconnaissance..."Xiao Hua ordered decisively.
As soon as Xiao Hua's order fell, another staff officer walked quickly in front of him and immediately reported.
"Report to the commander, the commander of the 1st Destroyer Regiment sent a telegram that the 1st Destroyer Regiment has all taken off, requesting the next combat order."
"Order Peng Longfei to cruise in the air and stand by. Without my orders, it is forbidden to expose the target. Otherwise, military justice engages in ..."
"Yes, Commander..."
"Report to the commander, the bomber group of the Kwantung Army is less than fifteen ......kilometers away from our Mukden airfield..."
"Report to the commander, the bomber group of the Kwantung Army has appeared over my Mukden airfield ...."
With the report of the combat staff officer in front of him, even if everyone was in the underground headquarters a few meters underground, they could clearly feel it. At this moment, over Tianjin Airport, the huge roar generated by the Kwantung Army bomber group flying through the sky. , feeling the deafening roar of the engine. Xiao Hua, who was still calm just now. At this moment, he finally showed a look of eagerness. Quickly got up from his seat and came to the huge battle map money, ready to give the troops a specific combat order.
"Report to the commander, ground observers report that three Japanese bombers broke away from formation and are preparing to launch a tentative attack on our airfield..." The voice of the combat staff officer quickly reached his ears.
"Well, the little devil is finally here. The order went down, after the Japanese bomber group entered the range of our anti-aircraft fire. All the troops that lure the enemy, open fire immediately..."While excited, Xiao Hua commanded with a murderous face to the combat staff officer in front of him.
"Yes, Commander...."
The sky over Mukden Airport, which was still sunny just now, was already shrouded in a group of bombers of the Kwantung Army that had covered the sky.
At this moment, three bombers loaded with various aerial bombs, under the command of the squad leader, menacingly broke away from the flight formation. Like an eagle that has discovered its prey, it quickly swoops towards the quiet airport at this moment, ready to launch the first round of tentative attacks.
However, just three arrogant pilots, piloted their own bombers. Looking at the Mukden Airport, which was already close to the ground and seemed to have no defense, it was about to drop the full load of aerial bombs in the cabin. A series of violent explosions suddenly reached his ears, waking him up from the excitement just now.
"Yaga, the people of China have anti-aircraft guns. Quick, immediately evade the climb and get out of the battlefield..."
The little devils of the Japanese army who reacted, the arrogance on their faces just now had long since disappeared, and they were replaced by a look of panic. Pointing into the microphone on his lips, he commanded eagerly.
Because, at this moment, what appeared in his eyes was the quiet Fengtian Airport just now. At this moment, it has become a huge trap, a trap that devours his life.
Around the Mukden airfield, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns of all sizes entered the firing range with three bombers. Without any hesitation, he immediately followed Commander Xiao Hua's order and fired one shell after another at the three bombers in the air.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen high-explosive shells exploded around the three bombers. The monolithic piece produced by the explosion of the artillery shell also quickly formed an impermeable net in the air, completely enveloping the three bombers...
"Bang bang bang..." Just now it was unusually smooth, with his skillful piloting skills, he was able to sensitively dodge a bomber with a shell, and immediately began to sway from side to side as the pieces continued to hit.
The plane lost its sensitivity, and was still within range of a dozen enemy anti-aircraft guns, looking at the engines that were already emitting black smoke. The captain of the Japanese squad understood that it was almost impossible for him to escape this catastrophe today.
However, the frustrated application on the squad leader's face was replaced by a thick murderous aura after only a split second. Looking at the plane that could explode at any time, the squad leader did not hesitate, piloted his own fighter, and launched a suicidal attack on an anti-aircraft gun position on the ground.
"Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina people. The Great Japanese Empire is invincible, long live His Majesty the Emperor... Boom..."
Although, the squad leader's wish before his death was good. However, it is almost impossible to achieve it completely. As soon as the squad leader's cursing ended, a shell accurately hit the plane's fuel tank. With the sound of a huge explosion, the bomber, which was still menacing just now, was immediately disintegrated by the volley. Ultimately. A raging fire burned and slowly fell to the ground.
After the achievement of shooting down a bomber, the morale of the ground artillery units can be said to have risen to the extreme. Immediately concentrate your fire on the two remaining bombers. In the end, under the fierce pursuit of more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, neither of the two planes was spared, and all of them became the achievements in the hands of the soldiers.
I watched as the three bombers under my command were shot down one by one under the fierce pursuit of more than a dozen enemy bombers. Major General Jingchuan, the Supreme Commander who was cruising at high altitude and observing every move of the airport, could be said to be an abnormal shock. On the one hand, anger at the cunning of the Northeast Field Army, and on the other, heartache for the vain loss of three bombers. ,
"Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina man, I must make you pay for your blood debts..."
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division. Around the airfield, the Chinas deployed at least one regiment of anti-aircraft artillery. What should we do next? Major General Jingchuan's cursing had just stopped. In the headset, the report of a wing commander was heard.
"Convey my order, fighter aircraft formation, continue to cruise at high altitude and stand by. Bomber formation, immediately attack. Be sure to clear all the firepower points around the airport within half an hour. Finally, under the cover of fighter formations, an attack was launched on the airfield. After a short period of thought, Major General Jingchuan ordered with a decisive face.
"Hayi, Your Excellency the Division Commander..."
"Buzz buzz...", a loud whistle of breaking through the air rang out over the airport. The two bomber wings of the Japanese army, under the command of their respective squadron leaders and squad leaders, immediately broke away from the formation with a huge whistling sound and launched an attack on the firepower exposed on the ground in the air battle that had just taken a few minutes.
However, what these 70-odd little devil pilots did not know was that just when they were full of confidence and believed that the bombing operation would be won. They don't know that overconfident in themselves, already
got into a huge trap carefully prepared by their opponent Xiao Hua.
Looking at the sky above the airport, the more than 70 planes that posed the greatest threat to the entire airport and to their own Mukden Airport were like a group of crazy people, without any worries, they got into a huge trap composed of more than 100 anti-aircraft guns. As the commander-in-chief of this air battle, Xiao Hua immediately showed a look of expectation on his face. Facing the combat staff officer who had already scooped up the phone beside him, he ordered excitedly.
"Order the air defense division, immediately open fire and destroy the Japanese bomber wing ..."
"It's all about... Da Da... Boom, boom..."
In an instant, hundreds of high-altitude guns and more than 100 antiaircraft machine guns hidden around the airfield immediately fired a dense rain of bullets at the dense group of bombers in the air. In the first round of more than 100 artillery shells alone, dozens of fighter planes, which were already less than a kilometer above the ground, exploded in the air and turned into huge fireballs...
In the face of the sudden attack around him, it has been intertwined into an impermeable anti-aircraft fire network. Seeing the dozens of bombers that exploded around them just by firing from the other side. The faces of the Japanese pilots who were lucky enough to avoid the first round of anti-aircraft fire could no longer see the arrogance they had just had, but instead had a look of panic.
At this moment, the only thought in their hearts was how to drive their fighters, get rid of the dense anti-aircraft fire network around them, and smoothly return to the formation. As for the combat mission of destroying ground anti-aircraft fire and bombing the entire Mukden airfield, which was just explained by the division commander, in the face of death, it has long been forgotten by these people.
However, in the face of the fierce attack of more than a hundred anti-aircraft guns, the remaining sixty or so bombers had little resistance and were extremely slow. It is almost impossible to successfully break through in the airtight anti-aircraft fire network.
In the sky over Mukden Airport, which had been completely enveloped in gunsmoke, there was almost no interval of a minute, at least one violent bomber explosion sounded. And with every explosion, a huge fireball would inevitably appear in the sky above Fengtian Airport, which was completely shrouded by Xiao Yan.
The entire air battle, counting from the beginning of the Japanese attack, took less than five minutes. More than 70 bombers were shot down, and almost 30 of them were shot down....As for the remaining bombers, they had already lost their formation and began to scurry back and forth in the air shrouded in gunsmoke...
The air battle that took place in the sky above Mukden not only shocked everyone around the airport, but also shocked Major General Jingchuan, the supreme commander of the Japanese Flying Division, who was patrolling at high altitude. Looking at his subordinates, under the blow of the intensive anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese people, there was almost no room to fight back, but they suffered heavy losses. I couldn't help but roar loudly.
"Bageyalu, this is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy... How so, how could the cunning Shina have air defense forces of such a size, how could this be ...
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the anti-aircraft fire of the people of China is too fierce. In less than five minutes, our bomber fleet paid the price of more than half of the losses. His Excellency, the commander of the division, suggests that the bomber formations be ordered to retreat immediately. Otherwise, our bomber formation will be wiped out...", the commander of the fighter wing, who was also stunned by the sudden battle in front of him, suggested with the same anxious face. "Yes, retreat right away...."
"Takahashi-kun, now I order, lead your fighter wing to attack immediately, cover the bomber formation, and withdraw from the battlefield. Hurry, go and execute it immediately, and save as many planes as you can...."The division commander who reacted turned into the microphone and ordered with an eager face.
"Hayi, please rest assured that Your Excellency the division commander will ensure that the task is completed..."
More than 30 fast and responsive fighters joined the battle, and the entire open-ground decisive battle immediately fell into anxiety. Although, under the continuous fire of more than 100 anti-aircraft guns of the air defense division, the dense clusters in the sky were still hit without interruption, and then exploded.
However, under the joint attack of Japanese fighters and bombers, the casualty data of the air defense forces also rose in a straight line. Almost every time an enemy aircraft is shot down, the air defense forces lose at least two anti-aircraft guns and the corresponding artillery crew.
"Report to the commander, report to Division Commander Wang. Under the fierce counterattack of the air force units of the Kwantung Army, the air defense units have already paid a huge price for the destruction of 28 anti-aircraft guns and the sacrifice of more than 400 artillery personnel. Just when Commander Xiao Hua was worried about the billowing smoke from the artillery position, an operational staff officer replied loudly.
"It seems that the little devil's fighter is really a fighter with good performance."
"Immediately convey the order to Division Commander Wang, ordering all anti-aircraft artillery to concentrate firepower and specifically deal with all fighters in the air. As for the remaining bombers of the little devils, they are left to our fighters. After a short period of thought, Xiao Hua decisively ordered.
"Yes, Commander...."
"Staff Officer Wang, immediately contact the 1st Fighter Regiment cruising on the periphery, and order the 1st Fighter Regiment to assemble immediately. Ten minutes later, launch an attack on the air force units of the Kwantung Army in the skies above Mukden..."Xiao Hua continued to order.
The powerful firepower of nearly 100 guns was concentrated on the head of the Japanese fighter wing. No matter how responsive the fighter plane piloted by the little devil is. In the face of absolute strength, there is still no way. In less than a few minutes, dozens of fighter planes became cannon fodder in the hands of the fighters.
The destruction of dozens of fighters, although not a big deal for the whole battle. However, at this moment, after the heavy price paid by the troops just now, the morale of the soldiers who were a little demoralized is undoubtedly a powerful stimulant, so that the morale of the soldiers has once again been raised to the extreme.
And for the devils in the sky, the fall of dozens of fighter planes ruthlessly destroyed their self-confidence that had just been ignited because of the addition of the fighter wing, and dealt a severe blow to their morale, which was not very high in the first place.
