Taiyuan originally had no airport. After the fall of Taiyuan, the Japanese built a military airport in Wusu next to Taiyuan in 1939 in order to strengthen their rule over Shanxi. Most of the aircraft of the 21st Flying Group were stationed in the entire airport.
In addition to pilots and ground crews, there are also two infantry squadrons and anti-aircraft artillery squadrons, totaling more than a thousand people.
Since it was built, in view of the strong defense force of the airport, neither the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, nor the various armed forces from various places dared to attack it. Over time, the defenders here have also become somewhat lax.
It was around five o'clock in the morning, when people were deep in sleep. Except for the sentries, everyone else at Taiyuan Airport was still immersed in sleep. Little did they know that in the sky a few kilometers away from them, a group of planes loaded with bombs were quietly disappearing.
It flew toward them soundlessly.
"Attention all units...Attention all units...We are still five kilometers away from the target. We will start to turn off the engine and enter the glide...repeat..."
Huang Kebiao's voice rang in the ears of all pilots. Within just a few seconds after the order was issued, the roar that originally filled the sky immediately stopped.
Yes, you heard it right, before the attack, the bomber group actually shut down its engines.
If this order was heard by other pilots, they would think that the commander must be crazy.
With the rapid development of flight technology, aircraft have also changed from wooden structures to all-metal ones, biplanes and even triplanes have also changed to monoplanes, and aircraft are also developing in the direction of being higher, faster, and stronger.
But what followed was that the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft also changed greatly.
Let’s put it this way, the aerodynamic layout of the original aircraft was more like that of a glider. In addition, most of them were made of wood and were light in weight. Even after losing power, they could still rely on the air to glide. However, with the rapid development of flight technology, the weight of the aircraft has also increased.
It is also becoming heavier and heavier, and the sweep angle of the wings is also getting larger and larger, so that once the current aircraft loses power, it will fall directly like a weight.
But the Wave 2 driven by Huang Kebiao and others is different. The wooden structure makes the aircraft very light. The empty weight of the entire aircraft is only 635 kilograms, and the fully loaded take-off weight is only a little more than one ton.
Compared with the current Japanese Type 1 fighter, which weighs up to 2.58 tons, it is not much lighter. This is why the Wave 2 can still perform gliding attacks after turning off the engine.
Taiyuan Airport
Not far from the airport runway stands a tall sentry tower. There are two sentries on it 24 hours a day to observe the surrounding activities. It is so quiet at night that the two sentries are a little drowsy, but strict military discipline
Still prompting them to stand strong.
A sentry stretched and let out a big yawn, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and gave it to the superior soldier on the side, "Taniguchi... don't look at it, let's have a cigarette first."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to actually have some private goods." When my companion saw the cigarettes, he was shocked. "When I asked you today, you actually dared to lie to me and said you were done smoking. You are really bad.
"
The sentry rolled his eyes and said, "If I hadn't said that, you would have finished smoking this pack of cigarettes long ago. You are a stingy man who sends all the cigarettes home after your salary is paid. You are reluctant to even buy a pack of cigarettes. You always waste your money."
I smoke."
"I'm getting ready to go back to China. I'm going to get married to Nanzi when I go back, so of course I have to save some money."
"I really envy you." The sentry sighed, "Your service period will be up in one month. Unlike me, you have to continue to endure it. When will it end?"
Taniguchi patted his companion on the shoulder: "Nakamura-kun, don't sigh. Two years will pass soon. When I came to China, I was not worried and hasty. It has passed now, and we can be here."
Being a garrison is already a good job, but it will be unlucky if you encounter the China Liantai Militia like those unlucky ones in the 41st Division."
"Shh..." the sentry quickly raised his index finger and said nervously: "Be careful. If the squadron leader hears you, you will be in trouble. His younger brother is serving in the 41st Division. I heard that he was in Qixia
His younger brother died in the Great War. From then on, he would go crazy whenever he heard anything about the 41st Division. You are leaving next month, so don’t get in trouble with him at this time, otherwise
You will be in trouble."
"Of course I know, you don't need to say this. Besides, it's just you and me now, who can hear it?" Taniguchi rolled his eyes and was about to say something more, but then he looked stunned and listened.
.
"Nakamura-kun, did you hear anything?"
The sentry was a little disapproving: "There is no one here within a radius of more than ten kilometers. How can there be... eh... no... it seems like there is really some sound..."
The two stopped talking, turned on the searchlight and looked around for a while, but found nothing, but the whistling sound in their ears seemed to be louder.
The two looked at each other, as if something had arrived first. The sentry suddenly turned the searchlight in his hand toward the sky. A bright beam of light pierced the night sky in an instant. Soon they saw a huge aircraft formation suddenly appear above their heads.
Like a black ghost, it was flying towards the airport silently.
"てきしゅう(enemy attack)...てきしゅう..."
The sentry immediately slammed the button not far away with trembling hands, and in an instant, a shrill alarm sounded at the airport.
Along with the sound of the siren, the originally silent airport immediately began to boil as if a pot was boiling. Countless lights lit up one after another, and soon the sound of panicked footsteps could be heard.
"The plane...the Chinese plane is coming..."
The two sentries raised the alarm while setting up the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the sentry tower and shooting towards the sky. Unfortunately, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was not designed to shoot in the air. The elevation angle was quite limited and it could not reach the sky at all.
s plane.
The two men were so anxious that they picked up Type 38 rifles and pulled the triggers at the sky. They just used the rifles to masturbate the plane. Its power and accuracy can be imagined. In addition to tickling the plane, it was more like being on the plane.
Welcome unexpected enemies.
With the help of searchlights, the two sentries and the airport staff guard who had just ran out of the dormitory finally saw the group of uninvited guests clearly.
This was a huge fleet, with dozens of aircraft in total, but what surprised them was that they were all biplanes, and all of these aircraft turned off their engines and used the air to glide.
In everyone's desperate eyes, the fleet of planes flew over the airport, and as two black bombs fell from the belly of the first plane, two soaring flames were heard simultaneously with a huge explosion...
