Chapter 648: Large-scale air battle
Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.
At this time, the command headquarters was unusually busy, hundreds of thousands of troops were steadily advancing towards Changchun, getting closer and closer to Changchun, and some columns were only 50 or 60 kilometers away from the outskirts of Changchun.
All kinds of telegrams from the front line have been sent back one by one, and they are summarized here, and the big war is about to start, and whether it is a group of operational staff officers in the command headquarters or a few high-ranking members of the 36th Group Army, these days have been relatively busy.
At this time, in the command hall, Zhang Yunfei, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Fang Zheng, Liu Dazhu and others were all seated.
"Commander-in-chief, according to the plan, starting this afternoon, the columns will enter the designated positions, and tomorrow morning, our general attack will begin."
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, began to report to Zhang Yunfei.
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded, "Order all columns to carry out operations in accordance with our battle plan, and start the general offensive tomorrow morning." ”
This time, the little devils gathered about 200,000 troops in Changchun and its surroundings, in addition, there were tens of thousands of puppet Manchukuo troops, and the little devils were also on the periphery of Changchun, setting up a formation, taking advantage of the favorable terrain, the little devils would definitely resist stubbornly.
Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, said: "Commander-in-chief! In the past few days, a lot of the little devils in Changchun have been killed by us, but it is estimated that there are about 200,000 little devils in Changchun, and there will be a big war next. ”
"yes!" Zhang Yunfei nodded, "We have fought the Changchun Battle this time and wiped out all these little devils, then the recovery of the entire Northeast is basically not a big problem." ”
Zhang Yunfei is right, as long as the 200,000 troops of the little devils in Changchun are completely annihilated, the main force of the entire Kwantung Army will be basically wiped out, and the remaining little devils will basically not be able to make any big waves.
At this time, everyone did not know that the little devils had formed a large number of new divisions, and many divisions had already landed in Korea. I'm heading to Shenyang.
After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, everyone was full of confidence, at this time, the main force of the 36th Group Army went north, hundreds of thousands of troops. The gap is there. It is only a matter of time before the little devils in Changchun are annihilated, and everyone has the certainty of annihilating the little devils in Changchun in one fell swoop.
"Commander-in-Chief! The little devils still have a large number of planes in Changchun, and our planes have been bombing the periphery of Changchun for several days. The little devil's plane has been standing still, so it is better for us to take the little devil's airport and these planes all in one pot. ”
Zhang Yunfei shook his head and took the initiative to send planes to bomb the little devil's Changchun Airport, which was not cost-effective.
Changchun Airport has been carefully reconnoitred by the special combat forces lurking in Changchun, and there are dozens of fighter planes at Changchun Airport of the little devils. Two dozen bombers and several transport aircraft, in addition, a number of 25-mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed at the airfield.
The anti-aircraft machine guns of the little devils pose a certain threat to the planes of the 36th Group Army, and it is not advisable to take the initiative to attack and bomb the airfields of the little devils.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunfei said slowly: "Increase the number of early warning aircraft in the Changchun area." Keep a close eye on the little devils' planes, and give me the opportunity to annihilate their planes. ”
*******
More than ten kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Changchun.
12 Mustang fighters were bombarding a small defensive position of the little devils, and after more than ten minutes of bombing, the little devils' positions below were already in shambles.
"Comrades. Return! Seeing that all the bombs had been dropped, the leader of the Mustang fighter squadron who led the team immediately gave the order to return home.
"Captain! Aren't we going to rush down and strafe a few rounds? "See the position below, there are still some little devils. One of the fighters asked.
The squadron leader, through the hood. Seeing some of the little devils on the battlefield below, he immediately pursed his lips and showed a lack of interest, "Go back, don't waste bullets." ”
Seeing that their captain said this, everyone immediately formed a formation and began to return.
The warriors had not traveled far when suddenly, one of the warriors noticed a large number of planes in the distant sky, at least sixty or seventy planes, flying towards him.
"Captain! You see, there are a lot of planes at three o'clock. ”
Hearing this, the captain immediately looked over, but soon, the captain found that it was the little devil's plane, and the captain was very familiar with his Mustang fighters, obviously, those planes were not Mustang fighters.
"Comrades, that's a little devil's plane, everyone quickly withdraw."
After speaking, the soldiers pulled the operating stick, increased the throttle, and flew away, the flight speed of the Mustang fighter was a lot faster than the little devil's plane, and it was far away after a while.
Those dozens of planes were indeed little devils' planes, and they all took off from Changchun Airport.
As the bombing of the flying group progressed, the soldiers' Mustang fighter formations became smaller and smaller, and everyone became more and more dispersed; two days ago, there were two or three Mustang fighter squadrons in one formation, and now, it is often a dozen Mustang fighters, or even several Mustang fighters in one formation.
The little devils have been paying close attention to the fighters' planes, two days ago, the fighters' planes were all together in large numbers, and the little devils had no chance, and now, the fighters have reduced the size of the aircraft formation, and the little devils feel that the opportunity has come.
A large number of planes of the little devils quietly took off from Changchun Airport, and after completing the formation, they searched for the fighters' planes in the vicinity with Changchun as the center.
The little devils don't have early warning aircraft, and they don't have early warning radars, these are relatively new things, not only did the little devil Kwantung Army not have them, but many little devil officers have not even heard of these things.
The little devils can only concentrate a large number of superior planes and look around, trying to find some Mustang fighter formations, and shoot down these Mustang fighters by virtue of their absolute superiority in the number of aircraft.
Just now, these dozen or so Mustang fighters, while retreating, away from the group of little devils, used the radio system to report the situation.
At the same time as the soldiers reported the situation, several early warning planes circled at high altitude around Changchun, and they all discovered the group of little devils, although these early warning planes were nearly 100 kilometers away from Changchun, but the movement of the group of little devils was immediately monitored by everyone.
Many Mustang fighters carrying out bombing missions on the outskirts of Changchun received combat orders, ordering them to immediately assemble over the eastern suburbs of Changchun and discover a large number of enemy planes in the eastern suburbs of Changchun.
After receiving the order, a large number of Mustang fighters began to fly to the east of Changchun, and some Mustang fighters who were dropping bombs also began to hurry up and finish dropping their bombs and began to fly towards their destinations.
A lot of Mustang fighters began to form formations, preparing to encircle and annihilate the little devil's planes.
Under the surveillance of the early warning aircraft, the pilots of the Mustang fighters knew the location of the little devil group clearly, and everyone could calmly form a formation and completely take the initiative.
This time, it's the enemy who is in the light and I am in the dark.
And the group of little devils, completely unaware of their whereabouts, has been locked by early warning aircraft, and the little devils are still searching for the soldiers' wild horse fighters in the eastern suburbs of Changchun.
Just now, more than a dozen Mustang fighters were discovered, but these Mustang flew away quickly, which made many little devil pilots angry and screamed, and the little devils were obviously unwilling to run away like this with the fat on their mouths, and the little devils were ready to look for the next aircraft formation of the 36th Group Army.
The little devils circled around dozens of kilometers in the eastern suburbs of Changchun, and found no trace of the Mustang fighter, and many little devils wondered for a while.
When I didn't come over, many ground troops kept reporting that they were bombed by planes of the 36th Group Army, and they came over in a rage, and there was no trace of the planes of the 36th Group Army.
Many little devil pilots wondered in their hearts, could it be that the planes of the 36th Group Army were loaches.
Just when many little devil pilots were eagerly hoping to find the planes of the 36th Group Army, a large number of Mustang fighters were attacking the plane group of the little devils from several directions.
Soon, several imp pilots discovered a large number of Mustang fighters.
A little devil pilot, a little frightened, shouted into his microphone: "Your Excellency, Captain! A large number of aircraft of the 36th Army were found. ”
The captain of the little devil's Dazuo Brigade immediately looked into the sky in the distance, only to see that in the distance, dozens of Mustang fighters were flying over his head.
There were two Mustang fighter squadrons, a total of 48 Mustang fighters, and the flight altitude of the Mustang fighters was obviously thousands of meters higher than the group of little devils.
Seeing dozens of Mustang fighters, the little devil Dazuo's heart tightened, although the number of planes on the other side was a little less than his own, but there were at least forty or fifty, which should not be underestimated, it would be a vicious battle.
However, soon, another little devil flew and shouted, and behind the little devil group, two squadrons of Mustang fighters also appeared, and these Mustang fighters were also condescending, facing the little devil's group and preparing to dive and strafe.
That's not all, what makes the little devils even more frightened is that on the flank of the little devil group, a squadron of Mustang fighters also appeared.
This time, a total of five Mustang fighter squadrons came to the flight group, and all the Mustang fighters in Changchun and its vicinity rushed over after receiving the order.
Seeing that his fleet was almost surrounded, and that the number of planes of the 36th Army was almost twice as many as his own, the little devil flight captain's face was a little pale.
"Yaga! We're surrounded. The little devil Dazuo yelled.
A large number of fighters completely occupied a favorable position, and everyone seized the opportunity and immediately began to dive, and swooped over against the group of little devils.
The fierce air battle, the largest air battle between China and Japan, began immediately.
