127 Air Raids

After reconnaissance, the Sino-US Joint Air Force decided to carry out a surprise bombing of the Sunshine Airfield where the Japanese troops were stationed. However, before that, it is necessary to further understand the deployment of anti-aircraft fire at the Japanese airfield.

Naturally, aerial reconnaissance could not understand the deployment of the Japanese army's concealed anti-aircraft fire points, so it was necessary to approach reconnaissance. At this time, the Myanmar Independence Army (MIA) will need to provide information.

After the last meeting between Sun Liren and Aung San, according to the agreement between the two sides, Zhang Qifu, a captain of the Reserve Cadre Department, assumed the alias of Khun Shah and returned to Yangon with Aung San. He was nominally the chief of Aung San's confidential section, but in reality he was the liaison between the expeditionary force and Daw Aung San.

This time, Kunsha felt that it was tricky after receiving this task. Not to mention that the Yangon airport does not allow ordinary people to approach even in normal times, and it is not easy to detect the deployment of their anti-aircraft firepower.

Without a pass, you can't even get close, how can you talk about reconnaissance? After smoking a few cigarettes in his office, Khun Sa tried to find Aung San for a solution, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

It is not known whether Aung San is reliable or not, and even Aung San will find it difficult to blend in with the Japanese. Besides, this guy has been vacillating lately, and if he makes too many requests, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the other party, and it is very likely that his previous efforts will be in vain.

Khun Sha paced back and forth, he knew that the above would not make such a request to him unless he had to, and it seemed that this was going to attack Yangon Airport.

Recently, the front line is very hot, and I heard that there are many planes at Yangon airport, and the Japanese have increased their control over Burma's air supremacy.

Thinking about it, a thought flashed through Kunsha's mind, it was better to drive over directly to investigate, but he quickly dispelled this thought.

The officers of the Burma Independence Army are no better than the officers of the Japanese army, and many times the Japanese do not pee on you at all.

Japanese officers? I might as well pretend to be a Japanese officer.

The thought crossed his mind, and Kunsha decided to go. You don't have to look for Japanese military uniforms, the military uniforms of the Burmese Independence Army are similar to the Japanese army's 98-style military uniforms, but there are some slight differences in the cockade and collar badge, as long as you can find a Japanese military cap and collar badge to change.

After deciding, he went to the laundry room of the headquarters. Many Japanese officers stationed here will hand over their clothes to the laundry room for uniform cleaning, which only requires a small tip and saves a lot of time, so these well-dressed officers in the headquarters like to send their clothes here for cleaning.

Naturally, some of the cockade collar badges on it will be removed and kept separately when washing clothes.

Thinking about it, Aung San went to the laundry room next door.

The collar badge and cockade were stored in the small classified cabinet next to it, the cabinet was locked, and it was naturally open, he took out a dirty military uniform, took off the collar badge from it, and after taking a number plate, he walked up.

There was a Japanese Shao Zuo in front of him, he was wearing four or five breeches and carrying a military uniform, which seemed to be ready to be washed.

Kun Sha pretended to follow him casually, and after a careful glance at his number plate, he quietly wrote it down.

After the Shao Zuo walked in, he tore off his collar badge and other things, Ann handed over the clothes to a few servants, and then went to the wardrobe to lock the collar badge and everything, and after doing this, Shao Zuo walked out gracefully.

Taking advantage of the gap when he went out and no one was around, Kun Sha ran to his cabinet, this is just an ordinary small lock, it is naturally not difficult for Kun Sha, who has learned intelligence reconnaissance, he took out a thin wire from his body, inserted it and drummed it a few times, and the small lock clicked open.

The Shao Zuo collar badge and the talisman emblem in the cabinet were all inside, and Kun Sha looked around to see that there was no one, so he picked up these things and put them in his pocket, and then wrote down the number, and then locked the lock and walked away.

After changing into the collar badge and military rank of this young minister, Khun Sa poured most of the bottle of wine into his mouth, pretended to be drunk, and rode a three-wheeled motorcycle of the Burmese Independence Army towards the airport.

The motorcycle was wearing a Japanese military flag, and he was wearing a Japanese military uniform and could speak a few words of Japanese, so he was naturally not subject to any strict interrogation, so he was able to enter the warning area of the airport.

Kun Sha didn't make too many stops, and after walking around the airport, he observed the basic deployment of some anti-aircraft fire points around him, and he kept these shorthand in his head.

On the way back, he encountered a Japanese soldier interrogating, he drove a motorcycle and staggered, and his mouth was full of alcohol, so that the Japanese soldier mistakenly thought that this was a drunk Shaozuo, and he didn't dare to stop more, so he hurried away.

After returning to the headquarters, he tore off the collar badge and put it back in its place, and began to record the location of these anti-aircraft fire points from memory.

Subsequently, he used a secret radio station to transmit the location of the place.

……

After obtaining the specific location of the air defense point near the Yangon airport, Fu Guoqiang submitted the battle plan to the Allied Command, and Stilwell immediately signed and approved it.

At the same time, Stilwell considered that if the existing planes flew out too much, it would be difficult to cope with the Japanese attack, so he asked for the Chinese Air Force stationed in Kunming to also come to the rescue.

The Nanjing side immediately approved this proposal. The 2nd Army of the Chinese Air Force stationed in Kunming also immediately organized personnel to prepare for the bombing.

In addition to the 16 P40 fighters that took off from Tonggu Airport, there were 16 P40 fighters from Mandalay Airport and 32 Lightning 3 fighters of the Chinese Air Force from Kunming Airport.

The 64 fighters were organized into eight combat groups, which were commanded by Fu Guoqiang.

Chennault originally wanted to participate in this bombing mission, but Fu Guoqiang considered that he was not familiar with the situation in Burma, so he did it himself.

In the morning, the planes were refueled and taxied off the runway at the scheduled time and in formation. The formation at Kunming airport had to take off first, and the formation at Mandalay and Tonggu airports would then slide off the runway, and three waves of planes would converge in the sky before heading towards Yangon.

The sky over Myanmar was cloudless, and the sun was shining down on the blue sky. Fu Guoqiang looked around, the brothers were already in place, and then looked at the watch, and they had probably arrived at the predetermined location.

"Flying Tiger Flying Tiger, I am the head of the tiger, and I have now entered the predetermined position, ready to pull up and enter the attack position." Fu Guoqiang turned on the radio communication and gave orders to everyone.

"Yes, Flying Tiger Group 1 received it, and Flying Tiger Group 1 pulled it up."

"Roger, Flying Tiger Group 2 pulled up."

……

The formations began to descend in altitude after entering the attack position, and the city of Rangoon appeared before their eyes.

Surprisingly, the Japanese air defense units did not open fire immediately, and there were no Japanese planes in the sky to meet them, and the streets of Yangon were as calm as ever, and the airfield was neatly parked with the newly arrived army airplanes.

During this time, everyone was accustomed to the frequent movement of Japanese planes, and they never thought that Chinese planes would attack Rangoon at this time.

However, in the midst of war, there are too many surprises.

"Little tigers, look at you! Attack your target freely! After Fu Guoqiang gave the order, he took the lead in diving down.

The assault has begun! The cannons of the P40 and the Lightning fighters strafed the ground, the sound of the Tata Tower shook the earth, and the air defense sirens roared on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers wearing sunshade dog-eared hats rushed to their gun positions like crazy, ripped off their gun jackets and opened fire into the air.

However, most of the anti-aircraft guns were not yet aimed, and the planes in the air were hit, and even the people with the guns were blown up on their backs.

"Target clear! Target clear! "The first wave of attacks was mainly aimed at the airfield runway and the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army, because the accurate intelligence provided in advance allowed the surprise attack to obtain the intended target.

The first wave of attacks swept through the airfield like thunder, and then the second wave of attacks followed like a raging storm towards the Japanese airfield.

The airborne guns and bombs were all inclining toward the Japanese airfield, and the oil depot and storehouse on the airfield continuously exploded with earth-shattering sounds, and in an instant, the ground airfield was filled with flames and debris splashed everywhere.

The group of Japanese fighters lined up in front of the hangar was suddenly swept up in flames like tongues of fire, and a group of Japanese pilots who tried to rush to the plane to meet them were bombed to pieces.

The entire airfield of the Japanese army in Rangoon was completely stunned by the sudden and powerful blow!

The air raid lasted for more than half an hour, and after more than half an hour, the attack reached the intended target, and Fu Guoqiang gave the order to return home. Because the ammunition in the fuselage had not yet been lost, they went around again towards the Japanese headquarters and other positions, and threw the rest * there.

After the attack, the entire Japanese airfield was like a hell on earth, everywhere there was a scene of fighter planes bursting, warehouses burning, vehicles rolling on the runway, blood and flesh splashing everywhere, Japanese firefighters pulling long water pipes everywhere to extinguish the fire, but to no avail, some caused a secondary explosion, swallowing these firefighters into the sea of fire.

The fire and explosion lasted for more than an hour, and in the face of a ruined airport and ruined buildings, the commander of the Burmese Front, Shozo Hebe, almost broke his tongue.

Dozens of planes were completely destroyed, and the airfield was badly damaged, although it was not fatal trauma, but it was undoubtedly terrible news for the battle that was currently underway.

"How long will it take for the airport to be repaired?" Kawabe Shozo asked with a cold face.

"The runway needs to be cleared, the tower needs to be re-expanded, and the hangar and oil depot need to be rebuilt......"

"I asked how long it would take you to recover?" Shozo Kawabe raised his voice again.

"Hayi, the preliminary estimate is that it will take at least two weeks."

"The two-week battle is over, and the recruitment of the people will be completed within a week anyway." After Kawabe Shozo dropped a word, he walked away stupidly.
