Chapter 155 surprise attack on the airport 2
When all the planes were in the sky, the special forces members did not evacuate, but instead contacted the ground staff of Shanhaiguan Airport and Tangshan Airport in their very proficient Japanese..com issued a transfer order for the Chenyang Military Airport aircraft in the name of the Japanese Kanto Air Force Command, requiring the North China Garage Army Airport to cooperate with the reception and cooperation work to ensure the smooth operation of the North China Battle.
Therefore, when Zhou Weichang led the first batch of forty-six bombers and fighter jets to take off at seven o'clock and flew to the Japanese Tangshan Military Airport at around nine o'clock, the ground crew at the Tangshan Military Airport had successfully contacted the flight squadron through instructions and prepared to arrange the plane's transfer and landing.
At this time, Tangshan Airport was in the process of intense pre-war preparations. A large number of planes had just filled with ammunition and fuel. Because they had to accept the plane transfer from Chenyang Airport, they had to postpone the departure time. Therefore, nearly a hundred planes were parked on the airport apron and ready to go.
Zhou Weichang was extremely excited when he saw that the ground crew was unprepared for the air strike. Our special forces were so amazing. Not only did he rely on his powerful and terrifying combat power, he solved more than 2,000 Japanese devils at the Chenyang Military Airport with cold weapons, but did not alarm any other enemies, but also successfully controlled the Chenyang Airport, allowing our Air Force to successfully accept so many aircraft and air force supplies and equipment at the Chenyang Airport.
Through fake instructions, the time for the Japanese planes at Tangshan Airport to take off the air combat was delayed, and the casualties of our People's Liberation Army who were fighting desperately with the Japanese devils. At the same time, this air strike became a unilateral massacre.
Although Zhou Weichang was excited, he did not delay command at all. While commanding fighter jets to fly over Tangshan Airport and began to sneak attacks on air defense positions. On the other hand, he ordered bombers to fly directly to the apron and oil depots and over the arsenal. He intensively bombarded important facilities such as the airport.
It was not until the bombers in the sky poured over the heads of these aircraft and began to explode constantly. The planes at the airport made a series of explosions like fireworks during the bombing of the bombs. The entire Tangshan military airport was trapped in a sea of fire. At this time, the Japanese army on the ground gradually came back to their senses and their airport was attacked by enemy planes.
At this time, the air defense firepower that had been damaged by the first round of air strikes sounded sparsely, but it could no longer organize effective defense. More than 20 fighter planes were raging on the air defense site and the enemy ground troops, and machine guns were even more unscrupulously firing. The Japanese devils finally tasted the bitter fruit of their planes slaughtering their own army.
The massacre was not until after ten o'clock, when the ammunition of the mixed formation of the battle and bombers led by Zhou Weichang was used up, and the fuel was only enough to return. Zhou Weichang excitedly issued an order to return to Baoding to the entire team. Finally, he left the Japanese Tangshan military airport, which was already a sea of fire and hell on earth.
Almost at the same time, Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan Airport was also attacked by more than 60 fighter jet clusters led by Yan Wenkai, deputy commander of the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
The entire ground situation is even more miserable than that of Tangshan. Because Shanhaiguan Airport is a temporary airport in Japan, a large amount of oil is piled in the oil reservoir area in the open air, which makes it more convenient for aircraft bombing. In less than an hour, the entire Shanhaiguan Airport became a tragic hell on earth. Dozens of various fighter planes were all blown into pieces. The airport ground crew and air crew members who had already boarded and were ready to set sail at any time were almost wiped out. The entire airport was completely scrapped.
Seeing that the bottom had turned into a sea of fire, Yan Wenkai commanded the mixed fighter formation without any damage to return and flew to our army's Shijiazhuang Airport.
At the same time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was attacked by several other small and medium-sized airports in the Liaoning area by our army's fighter planes departing from Chenyang Airport. All kinds of aircraft and equipment on the airport were damaged by bombing.
By around ten o'clock, when the special forces evacuated the Shenyang Military Airport, the Chenyang Airport also ignited a raging fire in a series of explosions. The military facilities of the entire airport were engulfed by countless explosions and sky-sky fires. In the end, they turned into a piece of coke.
By the time the army troops stationed in Chenyang Kwantung Army arrived at Chenyang Airport, Zhou Gangshan had already led 600 special operations elites to disappear without a trace.
July 8th became the most tragic day in the history of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Garage Army Air Force.
On this day, more than 2,000 air and ground crews and garrison troops of the Chenyang military airport, the largest airport in Northeast China, were broken. More than 200 various fighter jets and a large amount of aviation equipment were seized and transferred to the People's Liberation Army. There were also seven military airports including the Japanese Tangshan Military Airport, Shanhaiguan Military Airport, and Yingkou Military Airport. More than 200 various fighter jets were damaged by air strikes. Almost all of these airport facilities were bombed and scrapped and could not be repaired.
More than 3,000 Japanese devils died in this air strike. After this battle, the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force had more than 100 fighter jets left at several airports in Beiman City. In the face of the powerful air force possessed by the People's Liberation Army, we almost dared to take off and participate in ground operations, which allowed our army to gain air supremacy for this Battle of North China in one fell swoop.
It was not until twenty days later that the two aircraft carriers of the Japanese Joint Fleet arrived in the Bohai bend area that slightly improved the air power comparison between the Japanese and the People's Liberation Army.
However, with the first batch of 24 fighter jets that reached the level of the J-7 of the People's Liberation Army in August 1937, which were later launched into the anti-Japanese battlefield, the Japanese army never had the opportunity to regain air supremacy.
Xun Huaizhou, who was organizing and commanding the People's Liberation Army to devote all-round efforts to the Japanese devils' battle in North China, could not suppress his excitement when he heard that our special forces and the air force had achieved such a brilliant record. His big hands were tightly held with Luo Ronghuan beside him.
At this moment, the heart that had been hanging in the throat for the special forces finally returned to my heart.
Since Zhou Gangshan and his team left Baoding in mid-June, in order to keep it absolutely confidential, the entire army has entered a radio silent state and left the contact with the Fifth Field Army Command.
Therefore, those insiders expressed concern about this unit that penetrated deep behind enemy lines and attacked Japanese airports. For this reason, Xun Huaizhou was under tremendous pressure.
At the beginning, when Xun Huaizhou formulated this special war plan and reported it to the Military Commission, many people raised doubts.
I think this move is too risky and countless links must be carefully considered before success. If there is a problem in one link, it may bring a devastating blow to my special forces and the still naive air force.
Moreover, if the target is exposed before July 7, the Japanese army will be vigilant. It may also destroy the combat deployment of the entire North China Battle. If this is the case, it will be too much of a loss of big things.
Finally, after the Chairman and Xun Huaizhou communicated secretly, he firmly stood on this side of Xun Huaizhou and barely passed this special war plan. Until today, the entire special war plan has achieved unprecedented success, which made Xun Huaizhou, a heart that was under tremendous pressure, feel a little relaxed.
At the same time, Xunhuaizhou also had a deeper understanding of the war and his understanding of coordinating the war of a large corps has become more profound.
July 8th is a day that is destined to be in full swing and attract attention from all over the world.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of July 8, the Chairman made a speech shocking the world at the Chongqing United Government Square, announcing that our People's Liberation Army's Fifth Field Army had repelled the multiple attacks launched by the Japanese North China garrison troops on our position on the night of July 7, and firmly held the position.
At the same time, it was announced that from now on, our China United Government will formally declare war on Japan, and the people of the whole country will use their greatest determination and enthusiasm to devote themselves to the Anti-Japanese War that defends our homeland.
Only until it drives Japanese imperialism out of all our territory, and at the same time, lets Japanese imperialism receive the punishment it deserves for its repeated wars of aggression against China.
In between, every Japanese imperialist element is the target of attack on our military and civilians, and every inch of land is the area that our military and civilians compete for. Everyone has the responsibility to defend their country.
Although the Chairman's speech was not much, it was extremely shocking. From then on, the eight-year iron-blooded war of resistance began on the land of China. The people of the whole country devoted great enthusiasm and great sacrifices to this decisive battle that concerns the life and death of the whole nation.
On the same day, Chiang Kai-shek also issued a declaration of the War of Resistance in the auditorium of the National Government of Nanjing, expressing his firm support for the Declaration of the War of Resistance of the Chinese Union Government. At the same time, he stated that once the war begins, there is no distinction between the north and the south, no distinction between the years and the young. No matter who is responsible for defending the territory and resisting the war, he should be determined to sacrifice everything.
Immediately, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang troops began to mobilize to the Songhu area as originally planned, preparing to open a second battlefield for combat against Japan in Shanghai.
Most of the current middle and senior generals of the Kuomintang army were captured by the Red Third Front Army that year, and were released after receiving anti-Japanese propaganda and anti-Japanese guidance for a considerable period of time. Therefore, their determination and understanding of the war of resistance are far beyond the hasty Kuomintang army formed by the later generations of Xunhuaizhou that participated in the Battle of Songhu.
Moreover, the Kuomintang army is almost a Qing-style German-style equipment, and after the past two years of training, its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Therefore, like in history, can the Battle of Songhu, which was first launched by the Kuomintang army, still achieve the same bad level in history? The answer is undoubtedly, no.
However, at this stage, Japan's troops stationed in Shanghai are far from less than 10,000 in the same period in history, but have reached more than 40,000, which has increased the difficulty of fighting the Battle of Shanghai for the Kuomintang troops.
However, in addition to the 600,000 Kuomintang troops that Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to participate in the war, our powerful Third Field Army troops of the People's Liberation Army had long been planting a huge trap in the Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi border areas, waiting for the Japanese devils to come and die. How could the Japanese devils succeed in their conspiracy?
