Chapter 761 Night Battle
Dong Ku rarely gets so angry, and rarely explodes foully. He was really angry, he could have annihilated more Japanese troops more easily, but he had to rely on helicopters with limited range to carry out air raids, and it would take six or seven hours for the ground troops to reach Yingkou, and they would not be able to catch up with Lushun at dawn, so that most of the Japanese troops in Lushun, Dalian, could escape, or even more.
Even if Du Yuming was active, he would make a feint attack on Yingkou, which would force the Japanese troops near Yingkou to rush to Dandong or Lushun, resulting in the inability of the brigade to escape.
Now, they can only take advantage of air raids, but they may not be able to retain all the Japanese troops.
Dong Ku didn't care much about supplies, killing and injuring the Japanese army was his main purpose. He needed to kill these Japanese soldiers so as not to leave behind the fighting power and cause trouble for the future landing operation. At the same time, he did not want these executioners stained with the blood of the Chinese to escape from China, and although sooner or later they would die, Dong Ku still did not want to let them live one more day.
Liu Yucheng and others could understand Dong Ku's feelings, they did not persuade Dong Ku, and while carrying out the order, they reformulated the air raid plan.
Soon, a new air raid plan was hatched. At Yingkou, 200 planes were divided into four batches, 50 at a time, taking off half an hour apart, and the cycle continued, so that the Japanese warships and cargo ships could not dock in port, and cut off the passage for the Japanese army to evacuate, instead of strangling how many Japanese troops were killed, and the strangulation was handed over to the armored troops who rushed to the emergency breakthrough.
The two ports of Lushun and Dalian each had 500 planes, and the first batch of 500 planes were all dispatched to deal with warships and aircraft. Although the Japanese army is still a problem in night battles, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take off. Although the helicopter is flexible, the transmitter recognition alarm in air combat is still slow, and it is difficult to say whether the Japanese army will turn on the lights, and it is equally difficult to lock on the target. It's just better than them so that they don't accidentally hurt their own people.
Just when Dong Ku's helicopter brigade took off and carried out air raids in batches, Du Yuming was stationed in Jinzhou safely, and did not take a step forward, but urged the two divisions in the direction of Tongliao to speed up and advance towards Tongliao.
His intentions were extremely clear. The occupation of Tongliao was a flank attack on Shenyang City, but a flank attack on Changchun and a remote attack on Changchun. Once something happens, Tongliao will become an indispensable vanguard.
He was nervously busy, Liu Canghao also received an order from above, he has no combat effectiveness now, he needs at least two months or more for these puppet troops to form combat effectiveness. Received an order. He had only one main division that was not split, and three divisions followed Liu Hai's aftermath troops to Shenyang.
Nominally, he went to receive the puppet army there, but in fact, didn't Liu Canghao want to share some more benefits? After all, he had to master all the Japanese-style equipment that the advance army didn't want, and he must not give it to Lao Jiang.
Although the skin has not been torn yet, everyone knows that there is no idea about this because the War of Resistance has not yet ended, and the attitude of the advance army is still unclear. So, now it's going to be okay. Once the War of Resistance is over. The situation is very delicate, if you don't have some strength, how can you form a strong momentum at that time?
In the midst of these chaotic movements, Dong Ku's helicopter brigade had already taken off and rushed straight to Yingkou and Lushun in the dark night. Dalian.
The fire in Yingkou has not been completely extinguished, and there are still burning freighter wreckage on the sea. However, the withdrawal of the Japanese troops was basically interrupted, and the freighters that had been hiding in the dark and were not affected all docked when the enemy planes left, and the soldiers were transported in the fastest way. As for the supplies, no one has any scruples, and they don't know when the air raids will come.
And the remaining cargo ships simply could not pull away all the Japanese troops. After half an hour of panic, most of the Japanese troops were left in the harbor, and the freighters left the shore one by one, and disappeared mercilessly into the vast sea, rushing to the place where the fleet was assembled.
Aircraft carriers are also coming from Qingdao, where their escort action in Qingdao has ended, Shandong, most of the troops have been evacuated, and the remaining ones who stayed behind to block the attack, everyone knows that within the agreed time, they may not have the opportunity to catch up with the retreat. The only thing to be thankful for is that most of the two divisions in Jinan have withdrawn, and they are rushing to Qingdao at this time, and it is expected to be able to catch up with the evacuation time at the least.
All the freighters in Yingkou disappeared within half an hour, and for more than an hour, there was no longer a sign of ships in the port, leaving the Japanese soldiers who were almost collapsing in the port to wail all over the place.
They don't know when there will be a boat, and they don't know if they can leave this ghost place. Since the order to retreat was given, their arrogance, their arrogance was shattered. But they still have faith that the defeat of the Dao is only temporary, and they will make a comeback.
But now you can't leave here, what do you expect to make a comeback? Ghosts?
In order to survive, these Japanese soldiers did not lie on the ground and wait for death in their wailing, after more than ten minutes of confusion, under the order of the commander of the singer, they began to build a position, they held out until they retreated, waiting for the ship to pick them up, they could not wait for death.
The positions of Panshan and Panjin poured into the troops of a brigade and regiment, and under the mood of resolutely going to the death, they built up their positions. They knew that if they really got into contact with the advance army, their hope of leaving would be dashed. The advance army is now invincible in their eyes, and no matter how strong they are, they also know that there is no chance to defeat the advance army on the battlefield, and even the defense line designed as an impregnable wall cannot stop the pace of the advance army, how can they block the pace of the advance army with their simple bunkers?
The same is true of Haikou, which guards the passage of Yingkou, Dalian and Lushun, which is the only throat. There metallurgically accommodated the strength of a brigade with two wings, which, together with the original garrison, exceeded the strength of a division.
Dandong is also ready for a comprehensive defense, and will do the most reluctantly blocking for the troops and materials that are transported away from here. They were ready for a desperate battle, and all the Japanese troops who entered the position knew that there was little hope of their survival, but for the sake of the emperor and the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, they were ready to break jade.
At Yingkou, the Japanese occupied one house after another, set up machine guns, and were obviously preparing to intercept air raids. The destroyed air defense facilities were also urgently repaired, anti-aircraft guns were sparsely erected, and anti-aircraft machine guns were also erected in the dark of night, waiting for the air raids to come. They believed that the enemy would definitely attack, and there would definitely be air strikes.
In Dalian, all air defense positions began to change. Concentrate on airfields and ports, and set up all the anti-aircraft machine guns in stock in tension. On the roofs of each building, a stiff crooked handle was propped up, and an impermeable defensive network was built near the port. They believed that as long as the planes of the advance army were dry in the port of Film, they would be able to repel the air raids.
Meantime. The shipment of the port has also entered a tense moment, all the bulky materials have been abandoned, and they are still everywhere, full of panicked and busy figures, nervously boarding, and loading some small and high-value materials onto the docked freighters.
A total of seven destroyers and two battleships were parked outside the harbor, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns had all been erected. The lights were gone, and the Japanese nervously waited for a possible air raid.
It was the same with Lushun, which was prepared accordingly, invested all its air defense and waited for the air attack of the advance army. Their airfield, the attack planes are all ready, although night combat is not a strong point, and they do not even have the ability to identify their own fighters. But they had no choice, they had to take to the skies to fight. Otherwise, those air defense facilities may not be able to stop the slaughter of the advance army.
In the midst of intense preparations, news came from the observation posts along the way that the enemy planes really diverged their ways, and one group flew to Yingkou, and the other flew over the Anshan position and flew in the direction of Dalian or Dandong.
Received an early warning call. Dandong is better, they think that the air raids will not be concentrated on them, after all, there is no massive distribution of materials, and there is no concentration of Japanese troops who answered correctly, according to the theory. This will not be the first target of the advance army's air strikes. And Dalian and Lushun, where there are ports, there are mountains of supplies, air raids, of course, will be the first choice there. This is not difficult to see from the air raid at Yingkou, where the city and positions were not subjected to artillery fire except for air defense facilities. Therefore, as soon as the early warning call arrived, the air in Dalian and Lushun suddenly became tense, the air defense sirens sounded violently and for a long time, the searchlights were ready one by one, and the airports were also ready to take off.
Although there were still about 200 kilometers to come, the Japanese army had to prepare in advance, because this distance could not be used for an hour, and the enemy planes would fly.
Near the port of Dalian, several figures lurked like cheetahs, and there were Japanese troops walking more than ten meters in front of them, and they were responsible for pointing out the target to the air raid formation.
There are also figures lurking near the positions of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, who are also giving directions to air strikes, and these places must be marked as soon as possible, and these places are the focus of air strikes.
In the midst of the nervous and anxious waiting, the loading and boarding of the ship still did not stop, and everyone knew that it would be safe to leave the port, and the enemy planes would not chase them to the sea to bomb, and it would be difficult to find the target at night.
As one report after another rang on the phone, the Japanese troops at the front heard a buzzing roar in the sky, and the air raid was coming!
Japanese drama your airport is immediately tense and busy, one after another attack planes take off, roaring into the sky, under the guidance of the lights in the cockpit, quickly formation, widen the distance, and avoid accidental collisions.
Just as the plane took off, the two warehouses in the port that had already moved air force supplies and only sundries suddenly exploded, and in the roar, the fire immediately lit up the sky of the port, and the fire clouds rolled up, pointing out the direction for the upcoming helicopter in the distance.
At the same time, more than a dozen anti-aircraft artillery positions and buildings around the anti-aircraft positions also exploded, and clusters of fire burst out, immediately making these positions invisible in the light.
The violent explosion terrified the Japanese and howled to put out the fire, trying to extinguish the lights before the planes flew overhead.
But where did they know that it was better not to splash water, the fire was just churning in the unpleasant smell, and when the water was splashed, the fire suddenly exploded, and the sea of fire was formed in a short period of time, and the burning area spread everywhere with the river of flames, and before the next time it came, it was already as bright as day, and there was no possibility of extinguishing.
The Japanese army was completely dumbfounded. This means that they will love you to fight in Guangliang Li, and will use their flesh and blood to face the enemy planes that come and go like the wind and have dense firepower, and their air defense will be in the open at this moment, and there will be no concealment.
The Japanese knew that not only bombs were planted at the location of these explosions, but also several barrels of 30 catties of thickened gasoline, which was the fuel used for flamethrowers. These are already difficult to extinguish, and the rebels douse them with water, isn't that like adding fuel to the fire?
Before the Japanese army could react, the roar over Dalian was deafening, and helicopters flew one after another from under the belly of the Japanese planes at ultra-low altitudes. Directly pounced on those burning positions, so that the intercepted Japanese planes could not stop a single enemy plane in the distant flames behind them.
At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns roared in the firelight, and the light machine guns on the roof of the building also roared, spraying out chains of light into the sky. Quickly compile an airtight barrage network.
However, the flight altitude of the helicopter was already lower than those three- and four-story buildings under the light of the fire in the distance, and the barrage interception of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns did not work at all, and those light machine guns, at the moment of spewing out tongues of fire, were immediately drowned by the rain of bullets in the buzzing sound, and most of them were torn apart before they could lock on to the target, and then one after another, the planes drilled out of the residential area. Straight to the location where the fire is blazing.
The air raid has officially begun!
Three attack helicopters fired shells at the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns behind the fire, and in the tom, accompanied by the terrifying sound of the humming Vulcan cannon, the position in front of Tibai more than a meter away immediately roared, and the rain of bullets tore apart the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who were looking for targets, and the blood mist steamed rapidly in the cold Confucius, making it impossible to tell whether it was gunpowder smoke or fog.
In just a few seconds, four anti-aircraft guns and six anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed here. Then the three attack helicopters circled and turned behind the team. Their target is cleared. They were going to intercept the Japanese plane flying overhead.
The goal was cleared, and the work behind was the life of the transport planes carrying bombs and a large number of bullets, and at the moment when they circled and left, one after another the transport planes showed their faces in the firelight that made the Japanese soldiers fearful, hum! The door of the cabin will be tested for public testing next year, and the rain of bullets will be sprinkled in an instant. The Japanese soldiers who returned fire with machine guns were drowned in an impenetrable rain of bullets before the bullet chain could catch up with the fast-flying attack planes, and then one by one the oil drums landed in volleys, and before they landed, the Zhan Dan attached to it was detonated.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang. A dazzling fireball rose twenty or thirty meters below the plane, and the flames flew out, and the helicopter that chased the flame-spewing tongue fell to the ground.
As the oil barrel exploded, a large cloud of flame meteorite rained down in the air, igniting a large area of combustibles below in the miserable shouts of the Japanese army.
The houses of the people were set on fire, and the sacks on the bunkers were also ignited, and the sea of fire was completely formed in just a few seconds, and the firelight illuminated the sky of Dalian, making the night sky like day.
The air defense positions of the Japanese army were concocted in the same way, and the formation of a sea of fire meant that night battles were no longer carried out in the dark.
From the beginning of the air raid to the formation of the sea of fire, there was not even two minutes before and after, and the sky above Dalian was blocked, and the naked eye could see the figure running wildly in the sea of fire below.
At the moment when the sea of fire formed, the follow-up planes clinged to the roof and pounced on the final target, the dock, where their real battlefield was made, and the attack planes that turned back were carrying auxiliary fuel tanks and did not have much ammunition, so there was no need to join the air attack sequence, they wanted to crush the planes that took off, and turn them into fireworks in the air in the firelight.
The moment the attack planes that turned over and came back formed a sea of fire behind them, they saw a group of Japanese planes rushing into the sky in the distance.
"Beat these dogs. Day! ”
"Kill them!!"
The roars of fighter Li rang out one by one, and then all the weapons without fire control opened fire, and there were still several hundred meters away from the Japanese planes, and the tongues of fire erupted.
The range of the Vulcan cannon and machine gun is longer than the 7.62 machine gun on the Japanese aircraft, and the power is dense and powerful, the most important thing is not to startle the snake, but to purposefully disrupt their battle formation, so that the flexible helicopter will have an absolute overwhelming advantage.
Sure enough, at the moment when the fire snake erupted here, the Japanese army evaded one after another, and the engine howled and made a move from side to side.
Without entering the most effective range, the Japanese planes did not open fire, but evaded one after another, and the battle formation immediately dispersed and rushed towards the helicopters.
One thing they forgot was that the helicopter didn't fly like them and if they missed, they had to turn and adjust the angle of fire.
At the moment when the Japanese plane group exploded, in the firelight, those helicopters hovered in the air in groups of threes and threes, twisting the nose of the plane, and pumping towards the flying Japanese planes like a chain whip.
The protruding change makes the billing Zhou Ning's day machine where can it react? During the rapid flight, one plane after another was struck by the bullet chain, and in the sound of beating drums, explosions suddenly sounded in the air.
Fireballs bloomed in the air, one after another Japanese planes broke their wings, tumbled and smashed to the ground in despair, and one after another Japanese planes smoked, lost control, and rushed towards the sea of fire below with a firm goal.
In just one shot, the helicopter predicted the trajectory, and the barrage built by hovering in advance loved you to shoot down most of the Japanese planes, and the hearts of the Japanese pilots who showed off their flying skills in the firelight sank to the bottom.
They have never seen this kind of air combat before, and according to experience, after evading, pulling up, or circling, they will detour behind the enemy plane, and then bite the enemy plane and annihilate it. How did they know that the other party had just moved the direction of the muzzle of the gun when they had bothered to flip and sent them to hell.
The results of the battle were brilliant, the pilots of the advance army did not relax, and one after another helicopters chased the escaped Japanese troops and began to lock on, they wanted to leave these brutes, these Japanese aces who had bombed the northeast and caused countless casualties among soldiers and civilians.
