Chapter 101: Temptation
24 attack aircraft, including 10 Type 99 (as Japan's newest fighter at present, the Kaga was originally equipped with a squadron of Type 99, but two were destroyed yesterday) and 14 Tenzan; 36 bombers, including 24 Meteor bombers and 12 Type 99 carrier-based bombers with precision bombing capabilities - all of them are the latest fighters equipped by the Combined Fleet so far, a total of 60 fighters, fighters in front, bombers in the back, densely flying towards Wanning.
As soon as the group took off, it was captured by the Wuzhishan radar station, and at the same time, Zhang Dali's lookout soldiers of the 38th Brigade also discovered that the alarm was passed up layer by layer, and the little devil group was still dozens of kilometers away from Wanning, and a terrible air defense siren had sounded in Wanning City.
Blue Volcano received a report from the radar station and immediately recalled the two released white-sided dolphins, and then called the solo male to ask if he wanted to take off to meet the fight. There are a total of 24 fighters and 12 bombers at the Qiongzhou Military Airport, although the number is not as large as the Japanese army, but out of confidence in the white-sided dolphin, Blue Volcano and his air force boys are not afraid.
"No, stand still, do your disguise. The Japanese are now eager to fight a decisive battle with you, the deeper you hide, the greater the deterrence against the Japanese, and you are not allowed to act rashly without my orders! The solo male replied to Blue Volcano after much thought.
After Yamabegawa Sanjian led the attack aircraft formation to fly over the coastline, he gave orders to others through gestures: Disperse and look for attack targets!
24 attack aircraft, divided into 12 twin formations, began to spread along the coastline. After flying along the coastline for about five minutes with a Tenzan-like aircraft numbered 1251, Yamanbe suddenly plunged headlong towards a high ground.
There, it is the location of the battery called Continental. The Continental Fort is named because it is directly opposite the island of Continent. In addition to a reinforced concrete fortress, the Continental Fort also has an underground barracks and an escape tunnel that leads directly to two kilometers away. The fort is covered with a five-meter-thick layer of soil and vegetation, so if you look at it from the air, you will think that it is a high ground. The heights were suspiciously raised, out of place with the flat terrain of the rest of the world, and because of the dense vegetation, which seemed to be just right for enemy lurks, Yamanbe decided to lower the height to get a closer look.
It is impossible to discover the secrets of the fort from the air alone. The dense grass and artificial vegetation block the firing port of the fort tightly, one main firing port, two secondary firing ports, and the black hole of the three cannons that have taken off their gun jackets are facing the direction of the combined fleet, a total of four cadets, three of them as gunners are wearing thick protective clothing and asbestos gloves in front of the operating platform behind the cannon, and the battery company commander Guo Guizhang is holding a telescope and a headset, and is intensively watching the surrounding situation.
Dazhou, Beipo and Hele Forts are the main naval combat capabilities in the Wanning region, and with the temporary command post located in Dongshanling, they have an independent communication system. Just now, Guo Guizhang and the company commanders of the other two batteries received the latest order from the single hero, the order required them to stand still, and at the same time asked the infantry of the auxiliary defense battery to make preparations for prevention and control, if the Japanese army saw through the camouflage of the battery and carried out accurate bombing, then it could show a certain amount of air defense to distract the attention of the Japanese air force.
Yamabe's eyes were poisonous, and he saw the difference in the high ground where the Ozu Fort was located, and after flying around the high ground twice at an altitude of about 500 meters, he dropped a 59-kilogram bomb that he was carrying randomly.
The bomb fell behind the fort, and the "boom" exploded, shaking the dust inside the fort. An artilleryman took off his earmuffs and asked Guo Guizhang: "Lianza, did the little devil find us?" ”
Guo Guizhang shook his head: "How can there be such a simple thing, temptation, don't worry!" ”
"Oh!"
The Type 99 fighter carried a maximum of two bombs, and dropped one only to open up a piece of vegetation, revealing the loess below. It can't really be defenseless, right? Yamanbe would think so, because in his opinion, apart from this highland, there is really no more suitable terrain for hiding troops around.
Just as the Japanese aircraft formation began to look for targets along the coastline, Onizuka Shomuro got on a high-speed boat and quietly sailed to a place only about 500 meters away from the shore, and began to investigate the battle situation at close range. When Onizuka made this decision, he was unanimously opposed by his subordinates. So far, the Combined Fleet Command has not given the Marine Corps specific combat missions, so they think that such an adventure as Onizuka is really not worth it. If the headquarters is not preparing to land in the Wanning area, and the Cadet Army has deployed heavy troops in this area, then Onizuka's behavior is very likely to turn into a tragedy of throwing himself into the net.
Onizuka insisted. His reasoning was: there is no better forward base than Wanning, and Wanning, sooner or later, will be taken. The people of China will definitely think of this, so Wanning must have a heavy army, and I want to see how they are going to stop us from landing!
Onizuka's adventure was worthwhile, and although he didn't find any suspicious targets, he got the answer he wanted after seeing the undulating beach terrain that seemed to form naturally, and said to one of the captains of the same boat: "I dare to assert that the terrain above will definitely be the same as this beach, and this kind of rippling terrain is really good for defense." Go back, I'm going to make a new battle plan. If we really want to land at Wanning, we must prepare at least one brigade of troops. ”
"Hay!"
The bombing by the Japanese planes along the coastline was all tentative in nature, and the three batteries and the three underground barracks were not visited by the bombers. Yamabegawa Sankey cruised the coastline several times with all the fighters, and after dropping a dozen bombs, he began to do his duty as an escort, protecting the bombers of the three squadrons and flying towards Wanning City.
Yesterday's shelling has already destroyed Wanning. That night, the citizens of Wanning wept bitterly because of the loss of their homeland, and they experienced the cruelty of war for the first time because they thought they were far away from the battlefield, and the hatred in their hearts was ignited by the burning homeland. For the first time, they sincerely realized that the existence of the Cadet Army was too important.
The first Wanning Self-Defense Force was quickly established, then the first ambulance team, and then the mutual aid group was also formed, just when the Japanese army group came to the sky over Wanning, in the air defense facilities under Wanning, people encouraged each other, and they finally straightened out their relationship with this Sino-Japanese showdown.
