Chapter 635: Landing in Yanzhou
At about half past one in the afternoon, a transport plane painted with the brightly colored flag of the Japanese Army's Asahi Army entered from the southwest of Yanzhou, and when the plane entered the sky over the Yanzhou area, it began to lower its altitude. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Switch Frequency!"
"Yes!"
"Call the tower, request the runway, and get ready to land!" Lu Tianlong personally piloted the transport plane and led the 17 pilots of the 7th Squadron to the skies over Yanzhou in full gear.
They could clearly see that the battle was going on below, the smoke and the fireballs that were burning from the explosion, and the deafening sound of explosions.
This is the first time he has carried out such a task, and when he received this task, he was also shocked, thinking that it was impossible to complete, and it was very dangerous.
You must know how difficult it is to train pilots, especially now that China urgently needs pilots, and pilots are almost a handful of talents on the top tower who can do it.
It's not just a person who can pull on a plane and drive it, even if you can fly a plane, then air fighting, it's definitely not ordinary people who have the guts.
Therefore, it is a matter of life and death of more than a dozen pilots, and he really does not dare to take this risk, once an accident occurs, the cost is too great.
Therefore, all the pilots on the transport plane brought their own parachutes this time, and if there was a real accident, a few would survive as a few.
They also came with a mortal heart.
If this mission is successful, these people will go down in the history of the Chinese Air Force and become world-famous heroes.
The seizure of the enemy's airfield by the ground troops and the dispatch of pilots by the Air Force to the enemy's airfield to drive back the enemy's planes is bound to shock the whole world.
Lu Tianlong and his comrades-in-arms are completing a shocking act.
Disguised as a Japanese transport plane, this is what Wu Xiaoyun meant, the Japanese army is not stupid, they can't let them find a plane that does not belong to them and enter the area they actually control.
And using the aircraft paint to confuse the Japanese army can at least buy them a certain amount of time, and by the time the Japanese army confirms that this transport plane is not their own plane, it is estimated that the truth has been revealed.
On the ground, Zhang Zhongling's command had already divided Yanzhou City and Dongda Battalion, and the 24 Liao Type 14 howitzers of the 17th Artillery Regiment were transferred up from the rear and bombarded the strong fortresses and watchtowers built by the Japanese army!
The Japanese army desperately resisted with the help of brick and concrete fortifications, but they did not have heavy weapons that could pose a threat to the new 39th Brigade, and they could not raise their heads when they were bombed.
By one o'clock in the afternoon, the watchtowers in the southeast and southwest corners of the Japanese East Battalion had collapsed one after another under heavy artillery fire, and the officers and men of the two battalions had broken into the camp separately.
The Japanese army desperately intercepted, but could not stop the bombardment of heavy artillery at all, and retreated one after another.
Yanzhou City, besieged but not attacked, part of the Japanese army and the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in the city were blocked in the city, and they could not support the Japanese troops in Dongdaying, and there was no way to get out.
All communications outside the city were cut off, and as the supreme commander of Yanzhou, Sakurai Osa could not control the situation outside the city, and he did not even know the news of the occupation of the airport.
The telephone line from the airport to Yanzhou has long been artificially cut off.
Radio communication was also interrupted.
In addition to asking for help from the Japanese troops in Jinan, Tai'an and other places, Sakurai Daisa also reported the news of the strong attack on Yanzhou to Ryosuke Isoya in Lincheng as soon as possible.
Jining was occupied, and Yanzhou was besieged.
Ryosuke Isoya received Sakurai's telegram and was shocked, what the hell is going on, how could Yanzhou be besieged by the GJ team?
Where did they come from?
According to the intelligence information transferred from the headquarters of the Second Army in Jinan, Ryosuke Isoya soon learned that the Chinese GJ team besieging Yanzhou had passed through Weishan Lake.
It is clear that this was a long-planned operation.
But he sent a vigilance force to Weishan Lake, why didn't he have any news in advance, and he dispatched planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance of Weishan Lake every day.
There has been no sign of a large number of ships massing, have you?
How the Chinese did it, Isoya Ryosuke couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out, Yanzhou was the location of the division headquarters of the 10th Division, and there was a strong city defense, and the military camp was also reinforced, and he thought that the GJ team would not be able to attack it for a while.
The self-confident Ryosuke Isoya removed a large group or so from the troops of Lieutenant General Nagase's detachment who were on guard against Weishan Lake and went north to help Yanzhou.
By the way, the Japanese troops who were let go by Zhang Zhongling from Yanzhou to Zoucheng were intercepted by Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment.
A cavalry-versus-infantry duel breaks out!
Killing in the rain, the scene is more cruel and bloody than imagined.
The result can be imagined, this Japanese army did not last long, and was eaten by Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment, and Hu did only pay dozens of casualties, which can be said to be a huge victory.
In this way, the significance of victory and the recovery of Jining is completely different, so the attention of this victory is naturally not as great as the latter.
However, Hu Bagui made a lot of windfalls, captured a batch of Japanese baggage, left what he could carry, and sent the rest to Xinglong Town and handed it over to Zhang Zhongling.
At around 1:40 p.m., after two attempts, Lu Tianlong successfully landed the transport plane on the runway of the former Japanese army's field airfield in Yanzhou.
The gunfire around has not stopped, but the airport is already quite safe.
A GJ captain walked in front of him, Lu Tianlong guessed that this might be the commander of the GJ side responsible for securing the airport, so he put down his flight cap and walked over.
Cong Hu and his people had just arrived at Yanzhou Airport, and before they could take a break from eating or resting, they received the news that their transport plane had landed, and hurriedly came over to greet them.
"Cong Hu, the staff officer of the Honorary First Division, temporarily responsible for the defense of Yanzhou Field Airport!"
"Hello Staff Officer Cong, I'm Lu Tianlong, the captain of the seventh squadron of the third brigade of the Air Force!" Lu Tianlong also introduced himself and returned a military salute.
"It turns out that you are the 'Air Dragon' Squadron Leader Lu of the Third Air Team, disrespectful!"
"What kind of dragon in the air, that's a nickname given by others."
"Captain Lu, please come to the conference room with your subordinates, and we will explain the situation to you first." Cong Hu said.
"No, let's go see the plane first!"
"That's fine, let's watch and talk as we go, so that you can also grasp the situation as soon as possible." Cong Hu nodded.
Cong Hu led Lu Tianlong and his entourage directly to the direction of the nest.
"The Japanese built a total of 19 aircraft nests at the airport, and when we attacked the airport, the shells accidentally hit two aircraft cabins, and the planes inside were partially damaged, and our maintenance engineers checked them and could not be used for the time being, and two of the other 17 aircraft were empty, leaving a total of 15 Japanese aircraft, including four 93 heavy bombers, eight 95 fighters, two 92 reconnaissance planes, and a BR20 twin-engine bomber......"
"Staff Officer Cong has learned to fly?"
"Not before, but now I'm just learning."
"That's right." Lu Tianlong walked into a cabin, and was surprised to see that there were actually people overhauling the plane, looking at their outfits, they were all wearing the clothes of the Japanese Air Force ground crew, and they were talking to each other, and they were also in Japanese.
"Staff Officer Cong, what the hell is going on?"
"Captain Lu rest assured, although they are Japanese, but now they are our people, after we take the airport, the original Japanese pilots and ground crews were captured, and we dare not use them, these people are brought by me, who are specifically responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft, we will arrange the division of labor, the responsibility is assigned to the people, whoever overhauls the aircraft has an accident, who will lose his head!" Cong Hu explained.
"But they're all Japanese, how can you have ......?"
"Captain Lu, that's the case, let me explain to you......" Cong Hu pulled Lu Tianlong aside and explained in a low voice the origin of these Japanese.
"I see, I really didn't expect that you have a batch of such captives in your hands." Lu Tianlong was shocked in his heart, according to the regulations, the capture of special prisoners must be reported, and they cannot be detained privately, and they need to be handed over to a prisoner camp or prison that specializes in guarding prisoners.
This honorary first division is so bold that he actually detains the prisoners in private, and forces them to be used by me, what other thoughts are there?
Lu Tianlong didn't want to get involved, he thought that when they came, they would have to take care of the ground work, but he didn't expect that people would have thought about it for them a long time ago.
This will greatly shorten the time to return home, and now they still have time to familiarize themselves with these Japanese fighters, although they have flown Japanese planes, but after all, it was many years ago.
"Staff Officer Cong, we need to familiarize ourselves with the Japanese fighters, do you have aircraft information and maintenance records at the airport?"
"Yes, but it's all in Japanese, can you understand it?"
"We've all flown Japanese planes, do you think you can understand Japanese?" Lu Tianlong smiled, fighting with the little devil, I don't know if I know if I can do it?
"Okay, I'll prepare a rest room for you, and you're all hungry, how about Japanese canned beef and rice, how about making it now, you can only wait until the evening."
"Well, it's good to be able to eat these during the war, as long as our pilots are nutritious enough, they are not picky eaters!" Lu Tianlong had a good impression of Cong Hu.
"This BR20......" Seeing the BR20 lying in the nest, Lu Tianlong thought deeply.
At dusk, a ray of sunset slowly signifies, meaning that tomorrow may be a good day.
The last gunshot fell in Taierzhuang.
A Japanese soldier, looking at the collar badge, seemed to be a military officer, his mouth kept spitting blood, his hand stretched out to the east, grappling hard, grabbing, but unfortunately he couldn't grasp anything, and gradually drooped down and closed his eyes.
"Dead, hey, I wanted to capture a captive."
"Forget it, it's not that you don't know, this Japanese elm pimple, brainless, has long been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, and will not surrender."
"But he doesn't look very old, so he probably hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet......"
"What the hell are you doing with that idleness, they are invaders, how many of our people have been killed, have you thought about our parents and folks?" The platoon commander's stern rebuke rang out, "Put away your poor sympathy and hurry up to clean up the battlefield." ”
"Yes!"
