Chapter 500: Bombing
Almost at the same time that the 123rd Division of the Japanese Army was bombed to pieces, the air raid on Shenyang also began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Yamaxia was far from a little prepared...... Just now, more than a dozen enemy fighters flew over Shenyang, which made Yamashita Wenyuan suddenly realize that the opponent still had air power, and while he was glad that these enemy fighters were just passing by and not bombing the Japanese Dongta Airport, he ordered all the planes at the Dongta Airport to take off and disperse as quickly as possible......
From this point of view, Yamashita still has some combat experience, and those who have never fought in air combat are likely to have a fluke mentality at this time thinking that the enemy will not bomb the airfield.
However, the speed of the mountain is still a little slower...... The time between the first and second fighters was only thirteen minutes, which meant that the Japanese army had less than thirteen minutes to prepare.
In these thirteen minutes, the Japanese only had time to take off five Type 96 fighters, three bombers, and five transport planes...... In times of emergency, priority take-off of combat aircraft is inevitable, as they can play a point in the air.
But these efforts were in vain, because the Chinese army's fleet had the "Hellcat", an "air killer" that crushed the Japanese fighters in all directions, so it took less than a minute...... The planes, which had just taken off and had not had time to make two sharp turns, were shot down to the ground in a single bullet.
In fact, you don't need a "hellcat" at this time...... The reason is that the Type 96 fighter is already a thing to be eliminated, and it even uses an open cockpit, that is, a fighter without a cockpit canopy. Its performance is much inferior to that of the "Wildcat" fighter.
But this doesn't seem surprising.
On the one hand, Japan is a country with a shortage of resources, and of course the obsolete fighters will not be scrapped or recycled easily.
On the other hand, the enemy's air power on the Chinese battlefield is very weak, and the fighters with weak performance can also show off their might.
So there is no need to think about it, these fighters that are about to be eliminated will soon be transferred to the Chinese battlefield.
It's just that the Japanese army kicked the iron plate at this time, and the air supremacy was completely in the hands of the Chinese Air Force in a few minutes.
Then came the happy hour of the Chinese Air Force, where fighter planes swooped down again and again, turning the transport planes parked at the airfield into fireballs, and bombers dropping bombs on hangars, oil depots, warehouses, etc...... Because the Japanese never thought that their airfields would be bombed by the enemy, they can be said to have no enemy here, at least there will be no enemy in the air, so their oil depots, warehouses, etc. are basically not prepared for air defense.
The damage was great, and the East Tower airfield was soon blown up and burst into flames, and a few minutes later, perhaps because the ammunition depot was affected...... The Japanese army needed to transport the ammunition produced in the arsenal in Shenyang to the front line by transport planes, so a lot of ammunition was piled up at the airport.
The munitions caused a chain explosion in the fire, one after another, looking down from the air like fireworks, and in a short time the entire East Tower airfield was drowned in flames and smoke.
Then the group turned to Beiling Airport, and there was another round of indiscriminate bombing...... In fact, Beiling Airport was called civilian, and at this time, because the Japanese army concentrated its forces on fighting against Chiang, it was also used as a military to continuously transport ammunition and supplies on the front line of North Korea, and it was naturally a heavy loss when it was bombed by the Chinese Air Force.
But that's just the beginning...... Shenyang's reinforcement of the Japanese army on the front line, the airport is only a small force, and the larger capacity is the railway, so it is obvious that the next target of the fighter bombing is the railway.
As for why not the bombing of the railway station...... Needless to say, there must have been a lot of supplies piled up at the railway station, which were also needed by the Chinese army, especially the Chinese army that was running from a long distance.
Of course, this will be a few hours later.
Of the three bombing targets of the Chinese army, the smallest loss in the bombing can be said to be the 203rd Wing sent by Shanxia Wenyuan to reinforce Anshan...... The 203rd Wing also took the train to reinforce Anshan, and the cars were of course safer, but a large number of the cars in Shenyang were transferred by the Matsumoto Wing and annihilated, so the 203rd Wing could only take the train.
The commander of the 203rd Wing, Ishida Daisa, did not take this reinforcement mission to heart, although Lieutenant General Yamashita had repeatedly emphasized that the opponent's combat effectiveness was extraordinary, and asked him to deal with it carefully.
But Ishida Osa is a veteran, a veteran of the Japanese army who once participated in the Battle of Wuhan...... So he understands the Chinese and the Chinese army.
Ishida Daisa believes that the Chinese expeditionary force, which has strong combat effectiveness, is just blown out by the Chinese army, and it is ridiculous that the lieutenant general does not know that the Chinese army has this habit and let the enemy frighten it.
Therefore, the "combat experience" thing is sometimes not a good thing, because with experience, it is more likely that this experience will be used to misjudge the enemy, and then there will be serious consequences.
This idea was almost shaken when Ishida Osa saw a large number of warplanes flying through the sky.
But human nature is subjectively unwilling to fear an adversary whom he has long despised for a long time...... It's like looking down on a poor relative all along, and suddenly one day the poor relative becomes rich, and you are still psychologically unwilling to accept this change, and instead you will find some excuses to find fault with them to maintain your psychological superiority.
At this time, Ishida Daisa was in such a state of mind.
The first batch of fighters flew by the train where the 203rd Wing was seated, and Ishida Osa was taken aback, but think about it...... There are only a dozen of them, which is nothing, these fighters will soon be solved by the flying brigade in Shenyang! (Ishida has been fighting in the Chinese battlefield all along, and he doesn't know that these fighters flying in the air have thrown off the Japanese fighters a few streets, and only a few planes can annihilate all the flying groups in Shenyang)
The second batch of fighters was a group of forty or fifty fighters, and Ishida Daisa was a little panicked.
However, he soon found another explanation: "This must be the ghost of the Americans, and it is impossible for the Chinese army to have such an airplane!" ”
Thinking that these fighters were likely to be American pilots, Ishida Osa ordered the train to stop and get off as fast as possible to prepare for air defense.
This allowed the 203rd Wing to avoid losses from the bombing...... The ensuing bombing only paralyzed the train and killed a few devils along the way.
At this time, Ishida Dazuo received an order from Yamashita Yuan: "Destroy the road and railway, and return to Shenyang immediately!" ”
When he heard this order, Ishida hesitated.
