Chapter 825: Xinxiang Field Airfield

Xinxiang Field Airport is located in Jinjiaying, Tiexi, where the Nationalist Government forcibly expropriated 1,200 acres of land from the common people in the 23rd year of the Republic of China and built a military airport here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Until February of the 27th year of the Republic of China, it was under the jurisdiction of the Aviation Committee.

Before Kenji Dohihara led the 14th Division to capture Xinxiang, the air force had already evacuated from the airport, taking away all the equipment and aircraft from the airport, and also destroying the terminal, runway, hangar and other facilities.

Naturally, the aim was not to allow the Japanese to use the airfield as an advance airfield, so that their planes would be able to enter the hinterland of southwest China more easily to carry out bombing and reconnaissance missions.

This is by no means what the Wuhan authorities want.

The retreat was in a hurry, and although some buildings were blown up, it was not difficult to repair, and it was mainly a matter of time.

After the Japanese army occupied Xinxiang, Kenji Dohihara started the project of repairing the Xinxiang field airfield as early as March, forcibly conscripting thousands of villagers near Jinjiaying to participate in the repair of the runway of the airport, the construction of the hangar and the airport building, and the nearby fortifications.

Two months have passed, and the runway and part of the facilities of the airport are nearing completion, followed by the fortifications near the airport, as well as the meteorological observatory.

The Army Flying Regiment of the North China Front Army also specially dispatched an expert technical team to guide the work.

Because the Japanese army is positioning the future Xinxiang military airfield as a first-class military airfield, it plans to expand this military airfield after the summer harvest.

Although the Jinjiaying Railway West Airport has not been completely repaired, it has been able to provide some simple services, such as aircraft take-off and landing, refueling and maintenance, etc.

This turned Xinxiang Airport into a standby landing airfield for the North China Army Air Corps to carry out combat missions.

In particular, the planes supporting the Tufeiyuan Division in the battle at Lanfeng were occasionally damaged and could not return to the original airfield to land, so they could choose to land at this airfield.

Therefore, Xinxiang Airport was still very busy before it was occupied by the New First Army.

The airfield was supposed to be equipped with an airfield squadron, but since everything was not yet completed, the Japanese army would have been insufficient in China in the first place, so there was only half a squadron.

This is a plain airfield, and there is nothing to cover around, and the Japanese troops in half of the airfield squadron are not capable of guarding the large airfield at all, and their usual task is to supervise the repair of the airfield by the captured civilians.

Despite the fact that at the first moment of the problem, the top military commander of the airfield, a Japanese captain, had already ordered his subordinates to be ready for battle.

But they were confronted by the most elite fighting units of the New First Army.

The battle at the airfield lasted almost three hours, and finally the airfield was captured by a special service group and the Japanese airfield squadron was eliminated.

Three Japanese planes were parked in a newly repaired hangar at the airport.

Pilots and repair technicians, as well as the technical team of the airfield, the resistance was killed, and the unarmed engineers and technicians were captured.

Two pilots died, one was slightly wounded, and one was simply wounded.

All three planes were wounded in the fighting a few days ago, and only landed at the temporary diversion airfield in Xinxiang, and were ready to return to the team after repairs.

However, although there is no shortage of maintenance engineers at Xinxiang Airport, the parts are not complete, so they can only wait for the parts to be shipped from other places first.

Then repair the plane and drive it back.

Originally, after receiving the news that the airfield was about to be attacked, the Japanese tried to drive the plane back, but they dismantled the plane and did not have time to put it back on.

Originally, it was only a small injury, maybe it could barely fly back, but now all of them are lying in the nest, and three planes that are not too badly damaged have actually been captured.

The fact that the Japanese did not choose to blow up these three planes directly is simply a surprise, you know, the planes are high-end weapons and equipment for GJ.

An airplane is worth hundreds of thousands, even if it is a broken plane, the value is not comparable to ordinary things.

Probably the Japanese army thought that such a high-end thing as the plane was not something that the "Chinese" could play casually, anyway, the plane was also dismantled by them, and the parts were damaged, they had no drawings and could not assemble it, which was equivalent to a pile of scrap iron.

Moreover, the National J Air Force is not equipped with Japanese-style aircraft, and the parts and components of each other are not common, and even if these things are taken away by them, it is just a waste of effort, it is better to keep them, maybe they can be recaptured in the future.

These planes were produced with a lot of manpower and material resources, but they were reluctant to be destroyed like this.

Indeed, these three Japanese fighters fell into the hands of other units of the G Army, if you want to repair it, it is really not easy, if there are drawings of the aircraft, as long as there is not a major problem with the parts, it is not a big problem, otherwise, it can only be directly dismembered, and the valuable part can be taken back for technical research (just like the BR20 bomber that Leng Feng fished out of Weishan Lake at the beginning, after the lake was soaked, although the damage was not serious, but if it was repaired, it would not be possible to do it with China's current technical strength, It is better to use it for reverse engineering, which can also drive the accumulation and progress of technology in China's aviation industry, first learn imitation, then manufacturing, and finally create).

But if it is to be repaired, it is not very difficult, the Chinese are originally one of the smartest races in the world, and all kinds of talents can be found.

Parts that cannot be produced by machines can be made by hand, and the most sophisticated in the world are all made by human hands, and high-skilled workers are less valuable than scientists.

"Quick, report to the head of the regiment immediately, and everyone listen to Lao Tzu, keep it secret, who dares to leak half a word, I will let him eat fried meat with bamboo shoots for three days and three nights!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

"What, three planes, are you sure they are all in good condition?"

"No, it's a minor injury."

"Lao Yang, if it was intact, the devil would have run away a long time ago, and it would be our turn to seize it?" Liang Dong was also very excited, but as soon as his mind turned, he immediately reacted.

"Mayor Liang, even if it's a broken devil plane, as long as it can be repaired, it's better than nothing." Yang Rui said, "Didn't the devil's pilot and technician say that the parts for repairing the plane were not shipped, and if we get him, won't we be able to repair the plane?" ”

"Do you know where the parts for this repair of this batch of planes are going?"

"You won't know if you check this, as long as this batch of parts exists, don't worry about not finding it, anyway, at this time, the Japanese probably forgot about it."

"We can't underestimate the Japanese, they have been deliberately invading China, they have been planning for so many years, and they are meticulous and meticulous in their work, if we are careless and underestimate the enemy, we will suffer great losses." Liang Dong solemnly reminded that he was under Leng Feng's hands, under the influence of Leng Feng, and he did not let go of any little thing, and there was no big mistake in being careful.

"The Japanese must not be allowed to know that the three planes at the airfield fell into our hands."

"Seal the airport tightly, don't leak the slightest bit of information, and immediately send a secret telegram to the military department to report this matter." Liang Dong ordered.

After receiving Liang Dong's telegram, Leng Feng was really surprised, at this time, he focused his energy on the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army and the fourth brigade.

The two brigades of the New 36th Brigade and the New 39th Brigade were to be independently mixed into the Fourth Brigade and besieged five or six villages east of the crossing.

Kawamura Dong was a little conceited, if he just found that there were enemy troops behind him, he would immediately break through, or leave a part of the broken back, and the main force quickly jumped out.

Not only can you save it, but you can even fight a beautiful counterattack.

But this guy is too conceited, coupled with dull tactics, while entangling with the new 39th Brigade. On the other hand, they divided their troops to contact the new 36th Brigade in an attempt to defeat the new 36th Brigade head-on.

Needless to say, it must be the bullshit bushido spirit, which is a common problem of many Japanese generals, who like to use "dignified" means to defeat the enemy, and then preach the theory that the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible.

When it comes to the general national army, it really doesn't mean that the attack power of the little devil's frontal breakthrough is really strong, and in the general frontal offensive and defensive battles, the final loss is GJ.

It's not that the Japanese don't know how to turn their brains, they will also take a detour and attack, but once they encounter the enemy, their brains will be hot, and then they will attack desperately, with a momentum that will not stop if they do not crush the opponent.

This kind of fighting spirit is indeed very powerful, and it is indeed very useful on the battlefield, but it is too much, if the battle is fought like this, one is strong against weak, no problem, but once you meet an opponent who is equal to yourself, then this trick will not work.

The new 36th Brigade is composed of veterans of the Songhu Battle of the Tax Police Corps, all of them are elite, and in the case of not inferior weapons and equipment, and the strength is superior to the other party, will it be a Japanese army reorganized from the garrison?

Attracted head-on, outflanked left and right, and by the time Kawamura Dong understood, the main force of his independent mixed fourth brigade had been surrounded.

At this time, it was no longer him who was going to save Xinxiang, and he still needed someone to save him.

The commander of the Xinxiang garrison, Ieda Ao, was beheaded, and the Japanese army in Xinxiang was leaderless, and Iida Amo's adjutant was unable to command the Japanese army in Xinxiang except for sending a telegram to Kawamura Dong and Dohihara Kenji to report the rescue.

In fact, the Japanese army in Xinxiang still elected a commander, but the attack of the special service group was too fast, and before the Japanese soldier could perform his duties, the garrison headquarters had already been breached.

And this Japanese soldier, after the capture of the garrison headquarters, shot himself himself.

If the Japanese army is really allowed to restore the command system, then the capture of Xinxiang by the special service regiment and the cavalry regiment will not be so smooth, at least, those Japanese reinforcements who received the telegram asking for help will not easily enter the army.

Just thinking that the information was not equal, the two Japanese troops who came to support were ambushed by the cavalry regiment and the whole army was annihilated, and the rest of them were frightened and simply went back.

The Japanese troops in Puyang City were surrounded by the 1st Division of the Luxi People's Army, and they knew that Hecun Dong was in a difficult situation, but they did not dare to go out of the city, fearing that this was a trap.

In this way, Kawamura Dong sat on wax.

"Cong Hu, you go to Xinxiang, bring Su Yuan and Xiong Tian with you, and can the big guy we hide on Weishan Island fly?" Leng Feng asked.

"The engine is flooded, the airplane body is not bad, the landing gear is broken, we can't fix it, there are no parts, it's just an ornament, you know all this."

"Forget it, let the people on the island dismantle it and transport it over, maybe we can get this thing to the sky." Leng Feng said.

"Okay, I'll go get ready." When Cong Hu heard that there was a plane at Xinxiang Airport that had captured the Japanese, his blood became excited.

If he can fix these planes, then he will have a chance to fly solo, although he has only learned a little.
