Yang Zhen saw very clearly the idea contained in this practice of the US military, and they were using this opportunity to test the bombing capability of these B-29 bombers for some specific targets, especially the bombing accuracy of specific targets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause these B-29 bombers participated in the North Korean operation, the targets selected were clearly carefully selected.

But these goals, as a whole, still fall within the scope of tactical objectives. If the US military really wants to participate in the merger this time, it will be more suitable for them to put in the B-26 medium bombers in the North Manchurian base area, or to put in the P-51 fighters or P-38 fighters with ground attack capabilities.

And what they dispatched was this B-29 heavy strategic bomber, and what the idea was in it was a little tasteful. However, with the most advanced strategic bomber in the world, to bomb tactical targets such as railway lines and railway stations, I am afraid that only the Americans can have this kind of super wasteful idea.

Of course, as a strategic bomber, unless a world war breaks out again, it will definitely be useless after the smoke of this war that has burned all over the world has dissipated. But the Americans spent so much money to develop this almost ultra-modern bomber, and they will certainly not let it be retired in a short time.

So the Americans want to use this opportunity to test the role that this bomber can play in dealing with low-intensity conflicts. Yang Zhen still admires the Americans' forward-looking vision in tactics. But Yang Zhen still disagrees with the idea of the Americans.

For Yang Zhen, he knew that although this bomber was developed by the Americans at great expense. But in the coming jet age, this kind of bomber, which also uses a piston engine, is destined to not have a long-term fate. What awaits them, in addition to decommissioning, is to switch to special operations aircraft.

Of course, before jet aircraft reach certain performance, these huge bombers can still play a certain strategic deterrent role. But the positioning is also in terms of strategic deterrence, at least except for the outbreak of a new round of world war in a short time, there are so many functions.

After the war, this kind of strategic bomber will definitely not survive for more than six years, and it will be replaced by jet bombers. Of course, if the Americans are distressed, learning from the British is not a little possible to extend the service period. After all, jet fighters are expensive, and the cost of use is higher than that of piston fighters.

For some small countries, World War II aircraft picked up from powerful countries will remain in service for a long time. Therefore, this kind of bomber still has some role in dealing with those small countries after the war. The Americans, who are also working jet aircraft development, should be equally aware of this.

So they're using this opportunity to test the bomber's ability to bomb conventional tactical targets rather than with strategic bombing, in order to shut up their so-called taxpayers. For many countries, perhaps the biggest strategic goal is a train station.

Take this strategic bomber and go to strike at tactical targets to test the new use of this aircraft. This kind of super wasteful means can only be imagined by the Americans. For the Chinese, this forward-looking vision in the use of tactics is worth learning, but this super wasteful method is not worth learning from the Chinese.

Of course, this kind of experiment was carried out by the Americans in this way, and there has never been such a test that outweighs the losses. Facts have proved that this kind of bomber still has a certain power in carpet bombing when dealing with tactical targets. It's just that the cost is too high, and not only are those targets not as expensive as an airplane carrying fuel and aerial bombs.

And once an unusually expensive plane is shot down, it will be even more than worth the loss. However, the Americans participated in this combination, except for the P-51 Mustang fighters and the P-38 fighters, which participated in low-altitude fire strikes. The attempt to change careers of the B-29 bomber also played a huge role.

After all, the dozens of B-29 bombers involved carried hundreds of tons of bombs on this kind of flight were enough to raze a station or a bridge, along with all the surrounding targets. This thing is not a big threat to military trains, but it is very powerful to railway lines.

This tactical experiment conducted by the US military directly sent the railway line of the entire northern half of the Korean Peninsula into the sky. The participation of the US military has alleviated to a certain extent the tremendous pressure on the deployment of troops on the anti-coalition air force because of the wide range of battlefields.

Before a brigade reinforced by the North Korean army arrived in Sinuiju, it was bombed and lost its combat effectiveness. With this lesson from the past, the DPRK army did not dare to act rashly. The new brigades could only march on foot at night, and slowly reinforced to the south of Manchuria, with strict light control. By the time this brigade arrived at Anton, the defeat of the entire Kwantung Army was assured.

Yamada Otozo was very angry about the base camp and the Korean army, this trick to fool the Kwantung Army. But no matter how angry the Kwantung Army was, after all, the arms obviously couldn't twist the thighs. Seeing that the base camp had no intention of sending large-scale reinforcements to the Kwantung Army, the helpless General Yamada Otozo could only issue a general retreat order.

How else could it be done? Seeing that the last formed army of the Kwantung Army, as well as several divisions, were also lost along with Liaodong. At present, most of the fighting in the entire South Manchurian battlefield has ended, and most of the enemy troops who had been fighting in all directions have been freed up.

And their next goal, it is even more unthinkable. At present, in the entire South Manchurian battlefield, except for the Fifth Army, which is already a dead end, the only Kwantung Army is still a combat unit, and only the Third Army along the Anbong Railway is left. If the Third Army could not be withdrawn before the arrival of these enemy troops, then the Kwantung Army would really be completely wiped out after this battle.

The Fifth Army was already helpless, and the only thing General Yamada Otozo could do was to send an airplane to take advantage of the cover of night to bring back all the senior officers of the Fifth Army. It's just that the plane was sent out, but it never came back.

Not only this 100-style transport plane, but also the special plane of him, the commander of the Kwantung Army, was not able to return safely, and the high-ranking officers of the Fifth Army who had already boarded the plane also disappeared. This Zero transport plane, which was full of high-ranking officers of the Fifth Army, completely disappeared into the vast mountainous area of eastern Liaodong.

However, General Yamada Otozo wanted to find the traces of the senior officers of the Fifth Army, and the Anti-Japanese Federation could give him a satisfactory answer. After taking off from the Xinmin Field Airfield, this Japanese 100-type transport plane was discovered by two US P61 night fighters patrolling over Shenyang at the request of Yang Zhen and before the construction of the air defense radar network in the Shenyang area was completed.

This air battle was fought from Xinmin to the skies over Anshan, and this 100-type transport plane full of officers of the Fifth Army at and above the rank of Dazuo was not able to get rid of the US planes equipped with airborne radar, and no matter how much the so-called ace pilots of the Kwantung Army had tried their best, they were not able to get rid of the US planes equipped with airborne radar and turn the night into daytime.

In the end, in the sky north of Anshan, the 100-type transport plane, which was beaten all over the holes, could not bear the two P61 fighters, and rushed over after receiving the report, and saw that there was finally something to do, and excitedly grabbed the attack of other US night fighters who grabbed the prey with their comrades, and plunged headlong into the lofty mountains of Qianshan.

All the senior officers of the Fifth Army on board, including the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Keisaku Murakami, were killed. The two Dragon Slayer night fighters used as escort aircraft were also shot down in air combat. However, among some of the overly excited US pilots, there was also an unlucky one.

A US P61-night flight fighter plane crashed headlong into a steep mountain peak in the vast darkness of the night because the pilot was overexcited and couldn't care about playing a stunt over the mountainous area after shooting down the Japanese plane, and all the air crew members on the plane were killed on the spot.

In this operation, the Americans shot down a plane carrying all the high-ranking generals of the Fifth Army. There were only three lieutenant generals on the plane, three major generals and 11 big generals, which can be described as catching a big fish. But because of his own showmanship, he suffered losses that he shouldn't have suffered.

The planes carrying the senior officers of the Fifth Army have never returned, and the various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation are making every effort to reinforce the Liaodong battlefield. Whether it is General Yamada Otozo or Lieutenant General Qin Hiko Saburo, they all understand that the Kwantung Army is no longer able to return to heaven at this time in the war. At present, the overall situation of the entire South Manchurian battlefield has been decided, and even if the base camp is now allocating ten divisions and regiments to the Kwantung Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the defeat. The only thing they can do at the moment is to withdraw a division and regiment.

Knowing that things are urgent, the rapidly changing battle situation will not leave him too much time. He personally called the commander of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Nakayama, and personally gave him an order for the immediate retreat of the entire front. On the phone, General Yamada Otozo repeatedly told Lieutenant General Nakayama that as long as the main force of the general could be withdrawn, all the materials and equipment that could not be carried could be discarded.

In fact, after learning that the three enemy divisions behind him had approached Fengcheng and that more enemy troops were rushing over from the west and northwest battlefields, he had already lost his will to fight. He had secretly ordered all the troops on the front line to begin to gradually shrink, and made every effort to ensure that the line from Caohekou to Andong on the Anbong Railway, and that only the retreat of his Third Army was safe.

After receiving Yamada Otozo's order, Lieutenant General Nakayamatsu immediately issued an order for the general retreat of the entire line to all the units under his command that had maintained a complete structure and the most critical force was still relatively intact in accordance with the retreat plan that had been drawn up long ago. In order not to turn the retreat into a rout, so that more troops can be withdrawn. He sent out all the staff officers of his army headquarters and urged all divisions, regiments, brigades, and regiments to retreat according to the plan he had ordered.

After receiving the order of Lieutenant General Nakayama, the Japanese troops participating in the battle on the Anbong Line immediately adopted the tactic of gecko tail breaking. The troops on the front line who were too tightly entangled with the Anti-United Nations were directly left behind to entangle the pursuers of the Anti-United Nations. The second-line troops quickly lost all their supplies and heavy equipment, except for a force to deploy on the north and south flanks of Fengcheng to ensure the safety of the retreat route.

All the remaining troops that could be withdrawn retreated at full speed to the line of the East Yalu River in accordance with the pontoon bridge erected by the Korean army personally treated by General Otozo Yamada. As for the Anbong Railway, which has long been unable to open to traffic, and the rapid retreat through the Anbong Railway, the Japanese troops along the Anbong Railway have long dared not think about it.

After discovering signs of the retreat of the main force of the Third Army in front of him, Wang Xiaoming immediately organized the troops to pursue at full speed while quickly reporting the situation. And once again organized a division and a cavalry brigade to intersperse the Fengcheng line from the north of Kuandian to the Fengcheng line at full speed, trying to block the retreating forces of the Third Army on the Fengcheng line, and leave the main force of the Third Army on the Liaodong battlefield, so as to ensure the successful conclusion of the battle here.
