In the heart of the arithmetic without the mind. 【. com text] In addition to the seven-point plan, three points of hard work, fortunately Yang Zhen won the bet. Not only did they steal back seven Type 97 heavy bombers from the noses of the Japanese army, but they also stole 12 Type 97 fighters and five Type 97 transport planes, which were far inferior in performance to American-made transport planes.

ruthlessly swept the Kwantung Army Aviation Group up and down, together with the Kwantung Army Headquarters. They also used the newly manufactured napalm to completely destroy the two permanent airfields and the more than 300 planes they had stored.

At this time, standing in front of the mountain of plane wreckage at Mudanjianghai 1ang Airport, he smelled the smell of barbecue meat in the air full of burnt human flesh. Compared with the other accompanying officers who vomited, Shigeichi Hata, who had a blue face and didn't look at him. And what Yang Zhen, the mastermind of this battle, didn't know.

This is a campaign that Yang Zhen planned and actively promoted. Because Yang Zhen didn't want this combat method to leak out, he kept it strictly secret. On the Japanese side, because all the parties involved had already been killed, and Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata, who knew the truth, thought that the battle was too embarrassing for the imperial army, and immediately issued a gag order. Later, several people who knew about it were sent to the front line again, and 6 were killed in battle to cover up this battle that greatly humiliated them.

Since we were kept strictly secret at the time, it was kept a secret. It wasn't until more than ten years later that the history of the anti-coalition army was leaked out. It not only solved the mystery of the loss of the Kwantung Army's aviation, which was later called one of the ten most insoluble mysteries in the course of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition operation, but also was regarded as a classic battle by the United States and the Soviet Union and several other major powers, and was successively written into the textbooks of military academies.

After this battle, because several divisions under his command were almost wiped out, he was ordered to retire from active duty by the Japanese army base camp, and was extradited back by the Chinese government after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. Shigeichi Hata, who has just spent more than ten years of re-education through labor in the China War Criminals Management Center, has been in his last years.

After seeing the battle in the newspaper, he could only shake his head and say nothing, and sighed to his old subordinate, Hashimoto Ryuichi, who was also his illegitimate son: "The Japanese have only learned the art of war a single scratch, and they can only play those small conspiracies and tricks that cannot be elegant." really plays conspiracy, and the old opponent back then is everyone. ”

"When the empire was just rising, it failed to do its best to exterminate it, and repeated errors of judgment made it bigger, which was the most wrong part of the empire back then. The Kwantung Army's light enemy not only ruined the good situation in Manchuria, but also cultivated a strong opponent for itself. ”

It was almost the same time that Shigeichi Harata went to Mudanjiang Airport for inspection. Yang Zhen, who was standing on the edge of the runway of Jiamusi Airport and waiting for the results, kept his heart hanging until all the planes involved in the operation landed safely at Jiamusi North Airport.

Looking at the neatly arranged 20 Japanese fighters, heavy bombers, and transport planes in front of him, after listening to the report, Yang Zhen said with considerable satisfaction to Li Mingrui, who personally led the team, and Yuan Bin, who has now been promoted to the political commissar of the aviation division: "You have made great contributions to ensuring the victory of this battle. The whole army should be grateful for this qiē you have done for this victory. Headquarters has made a collective commendation to you. ”

Yuan Bin and Li Mingrui listened to Yang Zhen's praise, and Hehe Yile said a little embarrassed: "No. 1, this is what we should do." Although we still have the strength to defeat the Japanese air force face to face in a real air battle. But with the plan of the headquarters, we can still do it. ”

"Besides, No. 1, getting so many planes at once this time can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient air power, especially bombers. In particular, these Type 97 fighters can fill the gap in our air power before Jiangbei completes the refitting and forms combat effectiveness. No. 1, can you give us all these planes? ”

Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "These heavy bombers, fighters, and transport planes can all be given to you." But there is one thing you have to keep in mind, these aircraft should not all be integrated into the combat unit. Pick out the best of these planes and leave them to form an imaginary enemy squadron, which will be directly subordinate to your air force. Specially designed to be a sparring partner for our pilots. ”

"Lao Yuan, look at our first batch of pilots, although they have completed basic flight training, they have not yet participated in real battles. These two types of aircraft of the Japanese army are still very unfamiliar. I took out these two Type 97 fighters this time to let the comrades understand the performance of this kind of aircraft and find out their weak points so that we can better deal with them in air combat. ”

Yuan Bin was slightly stunned when he heard that Yang Zhen did not agree to integrate all the bombers and fighters urgently needed by this group of troops into the combat unit, and then was confused by Yang Zhen's new term: "Imaginary enemy squadron? What kind of troops is this? One, do you have any new ideas? ”

Seeing that Yuan Bin didn't understand what he meant, Yang Zhen smiled and explained in more detail: "The so-called imaginary enemy squadron means that all the fighters used by this squadron are Japanese-style fighters. Moreover, all the norms were carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Japanese air force, and the Japanese military tactical requirements were strictly followed as daily training. ”

"To put it bluntly, it is to use this imaginary enemy squadron to give our fighters and even bombers as air sparring partners. Stand up these Japanese fighters and engage in aerial combat with our pilots. In order to allow our army to familiarize ourselves with the performance of this aircraft in the shortest possible time, and find out the weaknesses of this fighter. ”

"For example, how can you bite your opponent in an air fight, and when you fire, you can hail there to shoot them down as quickly as possible. If the aircraft we use are not as good as the Japanese ones, what fighters should we achieve in air combat to shoot them down and save ourselves? This is the so-called imaginary enemy squadron. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Yuan Bin, who was reluctant to let these planes not participate in the war, and knew that he must be a little reluctant to let these old Balu, who were used to living a hard life, take out several planes at once, and use them exclusively as sparring partners. He smiled and said, "Old Yuan, don't be too petty, and look at the problem in the long term." ”

"These planes are all standard fighters of the Japanese army, and we cannot use them as main fighters. One is the problem of spare parts, which we can't solve. Another is that it is easy to cause chaos on the battlefield. Our pilots, for the most part, have no real experience in air combat. If it is found that there are Japanese planes in your own fleet, it will be difficult to have another cannibalistic fight. ”

"The most important thing is to let our pilots master the performance of the current main fighter of the Japanese army, which will help them survive on the battlefield. The Jiangbei side has already begun six consecutive deliveries of US-made fighter jets and has begun training. More than 300 fighters at once, enough for you. Don't worry about these planes. ”

"We, as commanders, can be equipped with just the fool in front of us. But we must have a long-term vision and never be too rushed. I also know that you are anxious when you see the ground forces in a bitter battle, but an air force with strong combat effectiveness is definitely not something that can be built up with a single blood. ”

"There is a famous saying in Western countries called five years and six armies, ten years of air force, and one hundred years of navy. I agree with this sentence, the more advanced, the more technical and complex the military branches, the more time it takes to form. And building an efficient and combat-ready air force is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time. Don't rush it, you still have to eat it in one bite.

"Now that we have solved the problem of whether we have equipment, we should also solve the problem of how to make our rookies survive more in air combat, instead of being beaten down by others as soon as they go to the sky. Don't forget, you are the hope and seed of our Air Force. If all the seeds are dug up, to whom shall I go for the fruits of the harvest? ”

"You pick two of the best planes and send them to the training base of our army's aviation in Jiangbei for the pilots there to conduct hostile training. The rest of you have two more left here, and the rest are being integrated into the combat units of the Air Force. Remember, this imaginary enemy squadron must select the best pilots who can fully exploit the performance of these aircraft. It's a good idea to pick some of the seeds that you're going to use as instructors. ”

The battle on the front line is urgent, and Yang Zhen naturally will not stay in Jiamusi for too long. And the final destination of these air forces is not Jiamusi, an airport too close to the Japanese frontier, but a top-secret permanent airfield newly built in Luobei. After seeing off the aviation troops who landed and refueled halfway, Yang Zhen hurriedly returned to the front line.

The 29th Division's 18th and 50th Wings, reinforced by the 3rd Brigade and the 1st Brigade, as well as the 1st Artillery Division of the Division, had already completed the annihilation of the 6th Division's eastward advance detachment in the southwest area of Boli, and in order to cover the strategic attempt of the 1st and 5th Brigades to conceal the eastward advance, especially to ensure the concealment of the eastward flank of Du Kaishan, the troops of the 2nd Brigade at the junction of Boli and Ning'an encountered and engaged in a fierce battle.

Now that there is no threat from the Japanese air force, the troops, both in action and deployment, are much more open than before. There is no need to worry about the Japanese planes hovering over their heads all day to reconnoiter and expose their whereabouts, and there is no need to worry about the Japanese planes bombing the marching brigade indiscriminately, causing unnecessary losses.

The progress of the three detachments of the encirclement and annihilation of the embankment was faster than expected after the addition of the first brigade that had cleaned up the southern battlefield of Yilan, but the number of casualties was also much larger than expected. In the previous battle, although the 2nd Brigade entangled the eastward detachment of the 6th Division and inflicted heavy casualties on it, it still lacked some confidence to eat this reinforced wing in one bite.

After receiving a telegram from the division headquarters immediately withdrawing westward to reinforce the main force of the division, Pingdao Fumihei fought hard to the death, although he could not get rid of the entanglement of the Second Brigade and could not meet the requirements of the division headquarters to immediately withdraw and reinforce the division.

However, with its tenacious will and fierce style, it fought against the Second Brigade. After a few days of fierce fighting, although the eastward detachment was wounded, the second brigade, which was defeated and wounded, did not get any better, and the three regiments suffered one-third casualties, which also damaged their vitality.
