Although these two radar stations were in the midst of the anti-United Nations air raids, they had been completely blown up by the bomber group of the anti-United Nations in adopting the tactics of low-altitude surprise attacks. Only one of the two radars was able to start up normally, and the remaining radar has been under repair for more than half a month since it was hit by an air attack. Because of the lack of spare parts, this radar was not repaired.

But the only remaining radar station is still a roadblock in front of the comprehensive space of the Anti-United Nations. If these two radar stations controlling the north of Anshan and even covering the south of Shenyang are not destroyed, the threat of the airborne operations of the United Nations will be too great. In particular, the radar that is in good condition has a monitoring range that happens to be on the passage that the anti-United transport group must pass through.

Before the full-scale airdrop operation, the only battle in the entire infiltration operation took place on these two radar stations. However, although these two radar stations were the two most heavily guarded areas of the entire Anshan Japanese garrison. However, the lack of troops still makes the security of these two radar stations not as strict as imagined.

With silent pistols, crossbows, and specially drilled tactics. The battle to capture these two radar stations lasted about ten minutes before it ended. The Japanese troops who garrisoned and controlled these two radar stations were cleaned up in a short time.

The complete capture of these two radar stations means that the entire channel for this airborne operation has been completely opened. In front of the group of transport planes participating in the battle, in addition to the continuous peaks around Anshan, only the anti-aircraft guns on the ground were left with a slight threat.

Received a battle report from the front, after checking the meteorological conditions in the entire predetermined airdrop area for the last time. Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Zhen gave the order to attack immediately. After receiving Yang Zhen's order, hundreds of transport planes, bombers temporarily acting as transport planes, and two paratrooper divisions participating in the operation all set off one after another in Xinjing, Jilin, Dunhua, Dehui, and Jiutai airfields.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of the 25th, under the guidance of the special operations forces that had infiltrated Anshan. A large number of transport planes carrying the 1st Paratrooper Division appeared in the sky over Anshan under the escort of a large number of fighters. Upon arrival over Anshan, all the transport planes began to act according to the pre-made plan.

During the airborne operation against Anshan, the entire First Paratrooper Division participating in the battle, except for a regiment and some heavy weapons, landed at Anshan Airport by plane. The remaining two regiments of nearly 5,000 paratroopers flew in 200 American-made C47 and British-made Stirling bombers, all of which were airborne over Anshan at an altitude of 500 meters.

The Junkers 52 transport group and C46 transport planes of the 1st Parachute Regiment and the 1st Parachute Division, which transported all the heavy weapons, also began to land at Anshan Airport and the surrounding areas at the same time. The 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion, Mountain Artillery Battalion, and Heavy Mortar Battalion of the 1st Paratrooper Division were quickly transported to the Anshan Theater and handed over to the 1st Paratrooper Division.

The Junkers 52 transport plane, which undertakes the task of transporting paratroopers in the airborne, is inferior to the American-made C47 transport planes in terms of performance and quantity. However, the excellent field take-off and landing ability of this transport aircraft bears a considerable burden in this air transport. All Junkers 52 transport planes, according to the predetermined plan, did not land directly at the airport.

Instead, the landing site was chosen in the northwest direction of Anshan, close to a road less than five miles away from Showa Steel. Although the ground infiltration force completely seized the Anshan Kwantung Army airfield, this small airfield could hardly bear the responsibility of transporting a paratrooper regiment and a large number of heavy weapons transport planes taking off and landing at the same time.

According to the performance of a large number of transport aircraft in hand, for this airborne operation. Under the leadership of Guo Bingxun, the air force and the headquarters worked out a complete plan. Using the German-made Junkers 52 transport aircraft group, excellent field take-off and landing performance. The landing site of the paratrooper regiment that was scheduled to land was on a road northwest of the Showa Steel Works.

The landing site of the C46 transport group, which transports heavy weapons, was placed at Anshan airfield in order to speed up the unloading of troops and equipment. To achieve the task of unloading airborne troops and equipment in the shortest possible time, and to maximize the use of transport fleets. After all the transport planes are unloaded, they will return to the aircraft immediately and do not make any stops in the Anshan area.

Taking advantage of the excellent field take-off and landing performance of the Junkers 52 transport aircraft, the problem of insufficient carrying capacity caused by the small scale and somewhat biased location of Anshan Airport was effectively solved, and the efficiency of unloading of troops was greatly accelerated. On the basis of aerial reconnaissance, the air force looked for a place with similar terrain in North Manchuria and specially practiced this method of landing on a road.

And according to the take-off and landing distances of the Junkers 52 transport aircraft, a careful plan was specially developed. The location of each plane's landing, the time to unload the infantry, were strictly regulated. In order to ensure the safety of take-off and landing, the air force equipped these Junkers 52 transport planes with the top pilots of the transport plane unit, and they were assembled for a full half-month exercise.

Specially practiced the tactics of quickly landing and unloading troops on the road under various conditions. With effective ground guidance, the entire unloading work is like a punctual clock, and the execution is almost perfect. Even though it's at night, it's still quite efficient.

Of course, such a high efficiency has a lot to do with the road conditions of the aircraft landing. It cannot but be said that the Japanese have put a lot of effort into southern Manchuria, which is different from the so-called national defense highway in northern Manchuria, which is all dirt. At least on the roads around Anshan, most of them are still asphalt.

In particular, the roads near the Showa Steel Works were all asphalted, perhaps in anticipation of inspections by the Japanese leadership. It can be said that in addition to being slightly narrower, the conditions for aircraft to take off and land are much stronger than those of the Kwantung Army airfield in the Anshan area.

This makes the speed and efficiency of aircraft take-off and landing, except for the lack of tower guidance, which can only rely on an ordinary terrestrial radio station to guide, and the rest of the aspects are even higher than at the airport. A deputy commander of the air force who commanded the operation regretted it, and it was better to transfer those C46 transport planes carrying heavy weapons to this line and land.

Just landing on the road, which wants to be kept secret, is impossible. In several villages around the highway, people were awakened from their dreams by the sound of huge engines taking off and landing by a large number of planes to see what had happened. He also looked at the transport planes one after another in amazement, and after landing in front of him, in the shortest possible time, after unloading a large number of fully armed soldiers, he took off quickly and left his sight again.

And these soldiers who fell from the sky, after getting off the plane and quickly assembling the whole army, ignored the onlookers on both sides of these roads and even on the roofs, and quickly rushed towards the Showa Steel Works, which was already close at hand. The dense gunfire that broke out immediately made these onlookers disappear quickly in a short period of time.

However, what shocked the local people was not only these iron birds that suddenly fell into the sky. Compared to the landing operation that is only in a small area, only within the landing range to cause a sensation. At the same time as these transport planes landed on the highway, the parachute operation carried out at the same time over the Anshan urban area really caused a sensation in the entire Anshan City and became the talk of the people of this steel city in the next few decades.

When a large number of transport planes full of paratroopers suddenly appeared in the sky over Anshan. The local Chinese people, who were also awakened from their sleep by the sound of a huge engine, and the workers of the Showa Steel Plant who worked the night shift, were stunned to see the white umbrella flowers that suddenly appeared in the sky, almost covering the small area of Anshan at this time.

Naturally, the local Chinese saw paratroopers for the first time, and they all felt strange. In just a few minutes, except for the production in the factory area that was still in full swing and some people who needed to get up early, there was still silence inside and outside Anshan City, and they suddenly woke up from their sleep.

In the whole Anshan City, everyone who can get up has come out of their homes to watch these rare Western scenery in a hundred years. When they saw these heavily armed soldiers hanging under the big umbrellas falling from the sky, these ordinary people were even more sensational. Many elderly and superstitious people even knelt on the ground to burn incense and kowtow, treating these airborne paratroopers as mortal immortals.

Of course, there are also some discordant factors, after all, it is difficult to accurately grasp the landing point in the sky. At the same time, it was airborne at night, and this landing site was also difficult to grasp. It's a bit unlucky, and the landing position is not very good. For example, smashing someone's roof, or falling into someone's not so good place.

Others are hung on certain trees, or on some outbuildings on the roof of a certain building. The most bizarre thing is that there are a few guys who not only landed in the wrong place, but also landed in some Fengyue places. also smashed the roof and entered the room directly, startling a lot of wild mandarin ducks with no clothes on.

And it was not only the Chinese who were shocked to see the airborne combat for the first time, but even the Japanese and Korean skilled workers of the Showa Steel Works were the first time to see so many paratroopers airborne, and at the same time they were stunned, and ran madly to the factory.

It was the first time I saw such a large-scale airborne landing on the ground, and it was too late when the overwhelmed Japanese army reacted and desperately fired into the sky. The first batch of paratroopers who had landed quickly unloaded their parachutes under the watchful eyes of the people.

Immediately, with the cooperation of the special forces that had infiltrated before, an attack was launched on the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery group to cover the airborne troops of the second echelon. In the shortest possible time, these antiaircraft artillery groups that had just reacted were directly shut up, ensuring the safety of the subsequent parachute landing and landing of the aircraft group.

Originally, it was thought that Anshan was in the rear, on the line from Shenyang to Benxi north of Anshan, but now it is heavily garrisoned. It is not as lacking in the protection of troops as it was in '42, and it is somewhat tight in addition to the troops. Therefore, in the entire Anshan urban area and the surrounding areas, the Japanese army did not have a lot of troops stationed in it.

The entire strength of the Japanese army on the entire Anshan front line consisted of only one Anshan independent garrison of eight or nine hundred men, plus a gendarmerie of several dozen people, and an anti-aircraft artillery brigade of the Showa Steel Works, which had barely resumed production in order to protect it, plus the strength of three independent anti-aircraft gun squadrons.

The forces deployed by the Kwantung Army in the Anshan area, in addition to the anti-aircraft artillery, were quite elite. The Anshan Independent Garrison, which was filled with a large number of temporarily mobilized expatriates and Japanese policemen enlisted, was almost third-rate in terms of combat effectiveness. These temporarily mobilized expatriates, both in terms of military literacy and will to fight, are more than three or five miles different from those soldiers in their hometowns who are composed of retired officers and soldiers.

Such a small number of troops are not opponents at all in the face of the first paratrooper division, which can be called the elite of the Anti-Japanese Union. Before this Anshan independent garrison could be assembled, it was defeated by some paratroopers who had already completed the assembly. And all the factories of Showa Steel, which Yang Zhen was most worried about, also fell into the hands of the First Division of the Paratroopers.
