Chapter 3: The Decisive Battle of Changping (6)
Ouyang Yun was worried about the situation in Dingzhou, so he sat in front of the map until dawn. During this period, he guessed more than once where the Japanese fighters would launch a surprise attack on the Dingzhou base. Remembering that the large airfield in Chengde has been destroyed, what other airfield can be used by the Japanese army for large-scale combat aircraft take-off and landing? I really couldn't remember any other large airfields nearby, and in a flash of inspiration, he remembered the Japanese aircraft carriers. yes, how did you forget that? In World War II, the reason why the Japanese army did not have an independent air force was because the army and navy were too powerful, as a small island country, the Japanese army paid special attention to the construction of the navy, and Japan was the second country after Britain to build aircraft carriers. He vaguely remembered that the first Japanese aircraft carrier was called "Fengxiang", and after that, the Japanese army successfully modified the "Akagi" and "Longxiang" -- if the Japanese army sailed the aircraft carrier to the coastal waters of Tianjin or Shandong, it was completely feasible to launch an attack on Dingzhou by carrier-based aircraft.
Ouyang Yun was not bad, as early as two days ago, the Japanese army's "Chicheng" and "Longxiang" had already sailed to the waters of Dagukou in Tianjin. Dagukou had been blocked by the 57th Army before, so not to mention that Zhang Zizhong himself did not have the strength of the navy, even if he did, he could not go to sea to fight at this moment, so that it was not until he talked to Ouyang Yun on the phone that Zhang Zizhong knew that the little devil's aircraft carrier had actually driven under his nose. When he heard the news, he was taken aback, because if the Japanese were to carry out an air attack on the 57th Army, the 57th Army's air defense would not be enough for the other side to plug their teeth.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese aircraft carriers were already busy, and an hour later, a total of 98 fighters (including two reconnaissance planes with a pilot mission, 66 attack planes, and all the others were fighters) took off and flew in the direction of Dingzhou.
At the same time, the airport at the Dingzhou base was also busy. The current commander-in-chief of Dingzhou's defense is Liu Dakai, who was born in the wolf's tooth, that is, Chu Tiange's second senior brother. Liu Dakai was promoted so quickly, not only because of his skills and the good personal relationship between Chu Tiange and Ouyang Yun, but also because of the very important point, he is one of the very few martial arts people who have seriously read Western studies, whether it is ideology or style, it seems quite trendy, because of this, after staying by Ouyang Yun's side for a period of time, he was sent to the grassroots company, and then from the squad leader and platoon leader, in just half a year, he was promoted to colonel, and the current official name is the deputy director of the Dingzhou base.
As for the director, it is naturally Hou Debang. Hou Debang turned out to be a bit famous, but after getting Ouyang Yun's handheld computer, his heart died. However, no matter how indifferent he behaved to fame and fortune, Ouyang Yun still had to give what he should give, so he became the director of this unprofessional job (the words of the officers in the base).
After the alarm of the Japanese air raid was told by Ouyang Yun personally, because the relationship was too important, Hou Debang did not dare to ignore it, although he knew that Lu Dao was a layman in military affairs, but he still personally appeared and witnessed Liu Dakai's deployment work.
It is no accident that the Japanese army was able to obtain detailed information about the Dingzhou base, and the only explanation is that there are moles in the base. And because of the existence of this traitor, Fox Hitomi immediately sent a three-person team from the nearest stronghold, and Mu Jiandie was also on the way.
It is also because of the existence of this traitor, many of Liu Dakai's arrangements are more hidden, such as those camouflage machines used to confuse the enemy, because they are made of wooden shelves, they don't weigh much, and a few people can be carried into the camouflage airport, but now, they are pulled out with the front of the car.
Ouyang Yun has always attached great importance to the air defense strength of the Dingzhou base, so in addition to the small and movable anti-aircraft weapons equipped by the air defense units, it is also equipped with a considerable number of fixed anti-aircraft batteries. And if it weren't for the side effects of giant fireworks, as well as the excessive population density of the Dingzhou base and too much important equipment, the giant fireworks would have become the first choice for air defense weapons.
Hou Debang didn't know much about this, he stood on the balcony on the second floor of the base office building, watching Liu Dakai and everyone busy. Suddenly, he saw Tie Linfei and a few soldiers overhauling the plane, and remembered that a batch of rockets had just been made yesterday, which was a good time to test it. He hurriedly asked his personal guard Ge Zhuang to call Tie Linfei over.
At this time, the weather is already a little hot, but it is still very cold in the morning and evening. Hou Debang was still wearing a short jacket at this time, but Tie Linfei was only wearing a shirt, although he was only wearing a shirt, he was still busy sweating profusely.
Tie Linfei is only 25 years old this year, and at such an age, he has become the commander of the air force of the air force, which has more than 100 fighters, which is unthinkable if he is abroad. However, in the general environment of the Scholar Army, he is not the youngest in a high position, after all, its supreme commander Ouyang Yun is only twenty-three.
"Director, are you looking for me?" Tie Linfei asked while wiping his sweat with his sleeve.
Hou Debang said: "A batch of finished products has been made of rockets! ”
Tie Linfei was overjoyed: "That's great, can you use it now?" ”
Nodding, Hou Debang said, "But there is still a problem that has not been solved. I don't know if the reaction force caused by the ignition of the rocket will not damage the chances of battle. My advice is to find a few good pilots and try them out on their fighters. ”
Rockets and missiles are two concepts, the latter being able to automatically select and pursue targets, while the former will only fly according to a fixed flight trajectory. And in order to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy, it is actually a bundle of rockets mounted on the plane. And this idea of Hou Debang was inspired by the creation of "giant fireworks". What he didn't know was that the patent for this genius idea originally belonged to the Soviets.
Tie Linfei had seen the theoretical deduction of rockets attacking enemy troops before, so he was very confident in this new type of weapon. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Director, don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory test transcript!" ”
Feng Yuanxiu's information was still sent too late, and if he had known about it earlier, Liu Dakai would have prepared a richer meal to entertain the Japanese. However, fortunately, such exercises are often held in the base, so they are busy and not chaotic. When the little devil fighter was found at the observation post of Fox Tong's first station in Tianjin, the Dingzhou base had already completed combat preparations. A total of five fighters were selected, with rocket launchers attached. After that, the pilot and all the combatants started breakfast, just waiting for the nearest observation post to sound the air raid siren.
