I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War
Chapter 554 Danger after Danger
The artillery convoy drove into Tieshan Valley on the east side of Chaishan at exactly six o'clock. They had just completed camouflage when the plane arrived. After hearing the noise, everyone left the convoy, bent over and trotted into the pine forest.
The trucks and artillery were covered with white cloth, and white cloth was also tied on the gun barrels. The black ruts were also cleaned up by the rear guards. The team members were hidden under the white cloaks. Several planes circled three times in front of and behind the mountains. It was not yet completely light, and they did not find the artillery convoy in the ravine.
Seeing the plane searching to the north, the two platoons of soldiers rushed over to cover up.
Sixty Japanese planes searched the Xiong'er Mountains for half an hour, but found no convoy, no cannon, and even no position.
The flight captain had no choice but to order the bombing of the suspicious target. The bomber opened the cabin towards the "suspicious target" and the fighter jets strafed back and forth at the Zhongxing mining area.
The Lunan Detachment, which was on the front line from Fangshan to Zhushan, almost suffered a disaster. Yang Qingfeng knew about the early morning artillery bombardment of the Guard Regiment and guessed that Japanese planes would retaliate. Lin Chuan also ordered a telegram to the Lunan Detachment. All the soldiers were lying in the iron-hard trenches. More than a dozen bombers dropped bombs 500 meters to their south. The soldiers lying in the unfinished trenches felt a strong shock. It was too dangerous.
After the Japanese planes flew away, the convoy continued to set off. After passing Tieshan Village, they evacuated separately. The heavy artillery was to go deep into the rear of the Lunan Detachment's position, the field artillery was to be pushed to the front slope of the Lunan Detachment's position, and as for the mountain artillery, they could just withdraw to the back of Dingpan Mountain.
In the direction of Qingdao, the sky was just getting light. Just twenty minutes after the plane took off from Bengbu Airport, six heavy bombers took off, with three people on each plane. After completing the formation, they appeared above the heads of the Japanese army in an instant and opened the ammunition bay before the Japanese army could react.
More than ten tons of bombs fell on the Japanese camp. The already tragic military camp was engulfed in flames. Countless Japanese soldiers pointed at the flying planes and cursed, saying it was too bullying!
At the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, Tada Shun's face was gloomy after reading the war situation report. The failure of the expedition was due to rigid thinking. The naval guns went into the river and the artillery went down the mountain. In addition to the two heavy artillery, the rest of the attack methods should have been thought of! The two commanders could not be blamed. After receiving the news, Tada Shun deduced three times and found helplessly that he would not consider these two aspects.
Tada Shun was impressed in his heart, Leng Qiang, this mysterious killer, has evolved into a master of tactics, he can always consume the enemy in the most reasonable way. At this moment, Tada Shun was a little bored, he really didn't know whether to continue or not, the losses had not been reported yet, but they would definitely not be small.
"Your Excellency General, General Isayama from Qingdao called with last night's damage statistics."
Tada Shun took the telegram and read it hurriedly. Fortunately, it was still within his acceptable range. Nearly two thousand soldiers were killed, more than one thousand five hundred were seriously injured, more than two thousand four hundred were slightly injured, and the total loss was less than six thousand. Two-thirds of the large-caliber artillery was lost, and only one-quarter of the small-caliber indirect fire artillery was lost.
There is still room for fighting. After all, Qingdao City has basically no heavy firepower except for the coastal defense artillery. If you hide from the naval guns and coastal defense artillery, as long as it engages in street fighting, the result will be in your favor.
"Report to the general, an urgent telegram from Qingdao says that the Chinese Air Force bombed again early this morning. Our attacking troops suffered heavy losses, and the estimated casualties are over a thousand."
Tada Shun took the telegram and seized the opportunity. The naval aviation force would arrive in more than half an hour, but in this short period of time, they were bombed again.
"Report, General, urgent telegram from Lincheng."
Tada Shun put down the telegram, waved his hand to signal the signalman that he could leave, and took the telegram from Lin Cheng, feeling nervous when reading it.
The casualties among the soldiers were not great. 1,300 were killed in action, 560 were seriously injured, and less than 1,000 were slightly injured. The total casualties were less than 3,000, which was completely within the acceptable range. However, the more you looked down, the more painful it became. Nearly half of the mountain artillery and field artillery were lost, two-thirds of the artillery shells were lost, and more than half of other supplies and ammunition were also lost.
Tada Shun convened the combat staff to discuss for more than an hour and issued instructions to the two attack sequences. The Qingdao direction must deploy a siege formation before noon, and the artillery shells must hit Qingdao city. The Lincheng direction must leave the Jinpu Line tomorrow morning. It doesn't matter if there is a shortage of supplies and munitions, and it doesn't matter if the Jinpu Line is broken. All support will be quickly replenished by nearby cities.
At Cangkou Airport, the bombers had just returned and entered the hangar when sirens sounded on the sea and air defense alarms were also sounded at various artillery positions.
More than 20 bombers, 18 in six echelons, flew over Cangkou Airport under anti-aircraft fire and began to dive in the dense rain of bullets.
Nine bombers in three echelons continued to fly north, and it seemed that their target was Liuting Airport.
All the anti-aircraft guns at Cangkou Airport opened fire, and chains of bullets with tracers formed a dense net in the air. The bomber did not retreat at all. The wings were on fire, and the planes next to it were blown up. Even though the pilot was shot, the plane still dived towards the runway.
Chen Rongwei's expression changed drastically. He was determined to blow up the runway even if he had to die! Was he that cruel?
The pilots of these bombers were given strict orders: either the bombs were dropped on the runway or the planes exploded on the runway.
A group of pilots and flight trainees also came out, looking at the sharply diving bomber with worry.
After two echelons of consecutive air explosions, the third echelon finally dropped its bombs.
"Swoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"
A sharp sound of death rang out, and the bombs exploded. Two bombs exploded outside the runway, and one exploded on the edge of the runway.
The Japanese pilots completely ignored the dense firepower network. One team after another, in the fifth wave of attack, a bomber successfully broke through the firepower network. It dropped the bomb without pulling up the plane. The bomb exploded at the end of the runway, and the bomber landed at the front of the runway and exploded.
In the last wave of attack, although all the planes were blown up in mid-air, six bombs were still dropped, and three of them exploded on the runway.
It wasn’t over yet. The two bombers rose high, raising white and black smoke. Seeing that they could not return to the aircraft carrier, they circled and dived down again.
boom!
One bomber was shot down at an altitude of seven or eight hundred meters. Although the other one was also shot down in mid-air, its nose had already sunk into the ground.
Of the eighteen bombers, only seven returned after taking off. There were still debris falling in the air. A few minutes later, the airport became quiet. Four bombers also flew from the north and flew towards the sea.
It's over. The runway of Cangkou Airport is completely destroyed. There are more than ten huge pits. It will take more than ten days or half a month to restore it in the middle of winter.
The runway of Liuting Airport was no longer suitable for takeoff, so the Japanese army bombed it again out of concern. Five of the nine bombers in three echelons were lost, and five or six large holes appeared on the runway of Liuting Airport. The Japanese were too cruel and were determined to prevent Qingdao's planes from taking off.
