On the banks of the Yalu River in Sinuiju in the early morning, a deafening hum erupts from the Chongqing-made 9-cylinder star-cooled engine, and hundreds of double-bladed propellers fan a whirlwind across the tarmac, dwarfing even the most feared northwest wind. The ground crew pulled out the fuse latches of two 125-kilogram high-explosive bombs under the belly, and four 50-kilogram bombs under the wings were also unlocked at the same time.

Thirty-six Dapeng bombers and 12 Haedongqing fighters were ready for action, and although the Korean Japanese had only a measly number of aircraft, the Air Force regarded the mission as an actual combat exercise in escort and bombing subjects. Such a large number of aircraft has made many North Korean soldiers and civilians secretly afraid, and they could never have imagined that China, which was weak ten years ago, would actually undergo earth-shaking changes, and the army would be able to organize hundreds of fighters to fight in formation at any time.

After Yu Lei checked his flare gun, he waved his hand to the air crew. His No. 101 bomber was the first to leave the runway, and a moment later the air formation of 48 warplanes almost obscured the sky and whistled over people's heads towards Pyongyang. It takes 55 minutes to get from Sinuiju to Pyongyang, and the long flight in this freezing weather is a test for every pilot, especially the semi-open cabin is even colder, so countries are considering closing the cabin.

In order to save fuel, the aircraft chose to fly along the coastline in a straight line from the east, and then launched an attack along the route of the river after arriving at the mouth of the Datong River. The pilots follow the pilot fighter jets while joking with each other or munching on toffee and chocolate to distract themselves. When you see that your body is about to stiffen. The leading group of Haidongqing fighters suddenly stretched up and scattered to the east, and a beautiful snow-white frozen river appeared under their wings. At the end of the river is a large gray plain covered with low-rise buildings.

Pyongyang.

The most important city in the north of Korea!

However, to Yu Lei's surprise, there were no air-proof balloons in the sky over Pyongyang at this moment. Even several Haidongqing passed through the city at low altitude without being attacked by any anti-aircraft fire, which made him, who was accustomed to the air-proof balloons and anti-aircraft guns over the dense cities of Europe, a little at a loss, and it can also be seen that after the decline of Japan's national strength, it has been gradually distanced by the world powers, and many of the equipment used in the European war cannot be used even if they know it.

In the face of a city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people, 36 bombers are just a drop in the ocean, so Yu Lei's target this time is the Jinsan Fort in the north of Pyongyang. The fort was built three years ago. The main purpose was to prepare for the National Defense Forces to attack Pyongyang from the south. The battery is well-equipped, with a narrow minefield protecting the battery on the north side of the mountain, and 12 Type 38 150mm guns, a large number of 75mm rapid-fire guns and 2 240mm guns. Their mission was to destroy as many batteries as possible. Unplug this roadblock.

The reconnaissance plane quickly locked on to the position of the battery, and Yu Lei took the lead in descending altitude after seeing this. At this time, some sporadic machine guns and shells finally appeared on the ground, but this small disturbance could not threaten the aircraft group at a height of 1,000 meters, and when the battery at an altitude of more than 300 meters appeared in the distance, the bombardier began to calculate the angle. Specialized bombing sights are still in the drawing stage, so bombardiers need to rely more often on experience.

Two 125-kilogram high-explosive aerial bombs were the first to break free, followed by four 50-kilogram bomblets that also roared to the ground. Suddenly lightened by hundreds of kilograms, the bomber rose sharply by a hundred meters, making way for the bombing channel for the comrades behind him. The roaring fleet of aircraft caused chaos in the Jinxiushan Battery, which was built three years ago with no air threat in mind, as there were only two French-made 40mm balloon guns on the battery. So the Japanese soldiers could only watch as the bombs went straight to an exposed 150mm heavy artillery position.

After two loud bangs, the bomb accurately hit the heavy artillery position, and although it failed to hit the cannon directly, the flying rubble and earth still buried half of the position. The first hit encouraged the comrades behind them, and the Dapeng bombers began to drop bombs one by one, and many pilots even dropped bombs at a low altitude of 600 meters. The power of the 125-kilogram bomb was astonishing, far greater than the army's 203mm artillery shells of the same weight, and the 72 bombs caused terrible damage to the Jinxiushan battery, and many of the poorly concealed batteries were blown apart. And those lightweight 50-kilogram bomblets have poor accuracy, but they are mainly used for anti-personnel and have achieved some success. By the time the last bomber had finished dropping its bombs and had begun to return home, smoke was already billowing from the battery. In order to save the battery, many Japanese soldiers rushed out of the bunker when they saw the group leaving, picked up the basin and wooden barrel and tried to put out the fire, and for a time the mountain was full of hurried figures. The two Hai Dongqing discovered this opportunity, and the brave pilots suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese soldiers by grazing the treetops, and before they could react, the four 12.7mm machine guns began to fire, and the dense bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

Yu Lei didn't care about this, and when he arrived in the sky above Pingcheng, he fired a signal flare.

At the same time as the flare fell, the artillerymen who were ready to fire fired the first shell at the same time! Fierce artillery fire swept over the castle like a hurricane, and in an instant, fireballs and pillars of smoke rushed from all sides of the mountain castle into the sky. The scale of this artillery bombardment was even greater than the breakthrough of the Qingchuan River 10 days ago, and the heavy artillery regiments in which a steady stream of heavy artillery regiments arrived from the rear added to the momentum of the artillery.

Since ancient times, the troops that can be called the Guards are certainly good, and the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, which is holding on to Pingcheng, has such an aura on its head. As one of the six oldest divisions of the Japanese army, just by looking at the list of former division commanders, you can know how important this unit is. So they also reacted quickly, taking advantage of the fixed position to launch a roaring counterattack. The artillery battle between the two sides was very fierce, but as several Japanese artillery balloons were shot by the returning Hai Dongqing, the balance tilted instantly. The eyeless Japanese artillery could no longer carry out an oblique line-of-sight attack, while the Wehrmacht artillery fire was getting more and more accurate. The first to suffer heavy damage were the exposed Japanese artillery observation positions, and then the first-line bunkers and living forces. As the long-range cannon began to extend backwards, and when attacking the second-line forces under the guidance of aircraft and observation balloons, the headquarters of the 1st Division was instantly filled with all kinds of calls for fire support.

"It's a Sanhe Mountain position, the enemy firepower is very strong, ask for fire support."

"We need support, please fire 2000 meters ahead, the enemy's infantry is coming up."

"Ammunition, we need ammunition."

“。”

The situation of rain of bullets made the division commander Nishikawa Torajiro finally understand why the Wehrmacht broke through so quickly, such firepower was completely comparable to the European war, and his first division had a total of 54 artillery brigades and 12 150 heavy guns, and they were scattered on a defense line more than ten kilometers long. Before he could make a new deployment, the staff officer shouted again: "General, the enemy's tanks have been found in the riverbank position." As soon as he heard that it was a tank again, the faces of the Japanese generals, including Nishikawa Torajiro, changed. They are not afraid of artillery, they are not afraid of fighting with the opposing infantry, but they are completely indifferent to tanks. Even heavy machine guns are completely useless with thick skin and flesh, and they can only be damaged unless they are hit by shells, but it is not so easy for shells to hit a moving tank.

On the position near the Datong River, a Japanese officer stupidly walked out of the bunker, his pupils completely dimmigated. Two kilometers away from his front, a rolling iron stream was rushing here, two armored companies of 28 T2 tanks in a wedge-shaped formation, carrying bundles of logs on their backs, rushing towards him at an off-road speed of 50 meters apart and 15 kilometers per hour, followed by 16 Gray Wolf armored vehicles that had been in the limelight during the last war. Many of the Japanese troops who withdrew all the way here were almost desperate, and from the beginning of the war, as long as the opponent attacked in the field, they would sacrifice this kind of steel monster! Relying on its rough skin and thick flesh to cover the infantry, it broke through a little and expanded to the flanks to tear the gaps.

This time it was the same, the armored company of the 103rd Division slowly crushed all the way and gradually approached, and the Japanese army shouted in fear and madness, desperately spilling bullets on these big guys. The machine rifle clanged against the steel plate and burst into countless sparks. But even then it was not possible to stop the advance of the tank! The first tank stopped 50 meters from the position, and the 25mm machine guns and heavy machine guns rained down on the wide and deep trenches that were close at hand. "Boom!" Two 37mm infantry guns fired at the same time, finally knocking a T2 tank into black smoke, but the Japanese gunners didn't have time to cheer, and the tanks behind them were aimed at them. A 25mm grenade passed, and the infantry guns and artillery were all blown into parts.

This kind of bullying style of fighting with absolute superiority in equipment made many Japanese soldiers hate, and they did not know how many ways they had to think of digging deep trenches, setting up obstacles, using mines, etc., although they could also destroy some but still could not stop the endless torrent of steel. For this reason, the Japanese army even used their connections to ask Britain for help to find tactics and weapons to deal with tanks, but it was far from quenching their thirst, and even if they bought weapons, they could not equip the troops in a day or two, so the officer howled to boost morale, and hung a few grenades on his body to prepare to launch a meat bomb attack.

Since you can't stop it, let's die together!

Stimulated by the news of the "Shanghai Communiqué", the Japanese army, which had no way back, launched a desperate assault, and more and more Japanese soldiers put down their guns and rushed towards the tank with grenades. Unexpectedly, an even more desperate scene appeared, and a large number of Wehrmacht infantry began to jump out of the armored vehicles, all of which were semi-automatic rifles specially used for combat testing, and hundreds of semi-automatic rifles instantly filled the shooting dead spots of tank machine guns.

Two hours later, three red flares were launched from the direction of the riverbank position, and tens of thousands of IDF soldiers poured through the gap towards Pyongyang City. (To be continued.)
