The commander was not a simple figure. He immediately held a meeting. In front of the officers and soldiers of the Second Air Force, he greatly praised Takayama Yisuo, praised him for his noble spirit of heroic sacrifice for Tian Huang Huang Bixia and the Japanese Huang Army, and called for
The officers and soldiers learned from Yasuo Takayama and became the real warriors of the Yellow Army of Japan.
He said that those who participated in this operation will be praised by the Japanese people, and their souls will be sent to a certain place after death to be enshrined by the Japanese people.
There are many Japanese officers and soldiers who have been brainwashed by the Japanese propaganda education. After Takayama Yisuo took the lead and was deceived by the commander, many Japanese officers and soldiers signed up on the spot to participate in this air raid.
In order to reduce losses as much as possible, the commander finally decided to send two bombers to carry out the bombing mission.
At this moment, Takayama Yisuo and the nine crew members of two bombers were being inspected by the commander of the Second Air Force.
In order to encourage these cannon fodder who were about to go on the expedition, the commander of the Second Air Force solemnly held a review ceremony.
After the review, he stood in front of the crew members, solemnly gave them a military salute, and said some inflammatory words. After that, he read the names of Takayama Yisuo and others, and said: "For the honor of the Japanese Yellow Army
, and for the honor of our Second Air Force, I hope and believe that you will be able to complete this bombing mission, please."
After saying this, he bowed very deeply to the crew.
Takayama Yisuo and the crew members were all excited at this moment, shouting together: "Hai!" and then bowed to the commander in return.
The bomber took off, and the commander stood on the airport, waving to the bomber as it took off.
Takayama Yisuo and others also specially flew the bomber in a circle in the sky to say their final goodbyes, and then flew towards Mawu Mountain.
Guancheng County, Airport.
The airport is small in size and poorly equipped, and does not even have a control tower. There are some buildings built next to the airport, including oil depots, ammunition depots, and dormitories for security personnel.
The guerrillas have a total of eight bombers, five of which are on the tarmac. The other three currently have mechanical problems and are parked next to the maintenance workshop.
An infantry battalion of the independent brigade is responsible for airport security. The airport is one of the most important targets of the Mawushan guerrillas. The security measures of the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion are quite strict. In addition to setting up defensive positions around the airport, the airport and
There are two patrol teams patrolling the area day and night.
On this day, a patrol team was circling the airport when they suddenly heard the roar of airplanes in the sky.
The squad leader of the patrol did not react at first, thinking it was the sound made by a guerrilla plane.
But when he heard that the sound did not come from the airport, and then looked at the eight planes at the airport, all of which were parked there, he realized that the plane coming was definitely an enemy plane. He immediately fired the alarm and notified the people at the airport.
Security forces conduct air defense.
The guerrillas also have some anti-aircraft weapons. Among them, the four anti-aircraft machine guns obtained by Lin Xueying were equipped with Cui Zhenyue's tank troops, as well as the 24 23mm rapid-fire cannons captured from the 32nd Garrison Division. They can also be used in both high and low positions.
, the effective range during air-to-air shooting can reach more than 1,700 meters, 16 of which are deployed in defensive positions around the airport, but they are mainly used to defend ground targets, because Xu Dalong, including Xu Dalong, did not expect that the Japanese would carry out the attack.
air attack.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion in the defensive positions around the airport hurriedly operated the rapid-fire cannons and prepared to shoot into the air.
Takayama Yisuo had already seen the bombers parked at the airport, and he also saw the anti-aircraft weapons surrounding the airport. His heart sank suddenly.
After the 32nd garrison division lost these rapid-fire artillery pieces, it reported the battle damage to its superiors in order to replenish it. In order to warn the Japanese troops and guard against guerrilla attacks, the North China Front Army Headquarters also issued a report.
Mentioned these rapid-fire cannons.
The commander of the Japanese Second Air Force read the relevant report and guessed that the enemy would most likely deploy these rapid-fire artillery pieces around the airport. However, in order to prevent Takayama Yisao and others from retreating, he pretended to have forgotten.
He did not remind Yasuo Takayama and others.
Takayama Yisuo was in a bad mood and felt like he had been fooled. At this time, he could not allow him to think too much. He gritted his teeth and took the lead in diving towards the bomber parked at the airport.
When the officers and soldiers of the guard camp saw the enemy plane swooping down, they opened fire violently at the enemy plane. As white smoke rose from the muzzle, dense shells flew into the sky.
As Takayama approached the airport, several rapid-fire cannon shells hit his plane, and one of its engines was hit and caught fire.
The bomber piloted by Takayama Yisao had two engines. Although the power was affected to a certain extent at this time, the bomber was still able to keep flying.
The enemy's firepower became more intense the closer they got to the airport. Takayama Yifu couldn't control it anymore and continued to dive towards the bombers parked on the airport.
Takayama Yisuo piloted the bomber successfully through the enemy's bullets and rushed towards several bombers parked on the tarmac.
The Japanese bombardiers had already dropped aerial bombs in advance. The aerial bombs were stored in the magazine. As soon as the cover below was opened, 12 aerial bombs fell together.
"Boom, boom, boom." The aerial bomb exploded violently, causing thick smoke and dust to rise on the tarmac, and then a raging fire broke out.
The bomber behind Takayama Yifu also followed and dropped aerial bombs.
At this time, the thick smoke rising from the ground had obscured their sight, and the bombardiers dropped aerial bombs at the approximate location.
After Takayama finished dropping the bomb, he quickly pulled up and prepared to turn around and bomb the three bombers parked in front of the maintenance shop.
Just as he began to pull up and pass the defensive position on the ground, a row of rapid-fire cannon shells hit the nose of the bomber behind him. The Japanese pilot was killed on the spot, and the bomber plunged to the ground, near the airport.
The plane crashed. The plane exploded, caught fire, and detonated an aerial bomb in the cabin. In the violent explosion, the enemy plane was blown to pieces.
The bomber piloted by Takayama Yisuo successfully escaped from the shooting range of the rapid-fire cannon on the ground. However, the plane was still hit by several more shells. Although it still did not hit the vital part, the plane began to turbulence violently, making it difficult to control.
.
At this time, Takayama Yisuo had two choices. One was to use the remaining fuel in the tank to fly away quickly. He might also be able to fly out of the edge of the base and then parachute to survive.
But when he saw the three bombers parked at the airport, he made up his mind, turned the nose of the plane again, and dived over.
Takayama Yisuo was not so lucky this time. Since he had lost an engine and the fuselage was shot, the flight speed slowed down a bit. The guerrillas on the ground had the shooting experience just now and the shooting accuracy
It has also been greatly improved.
Seeing the enemy plane dive down again, they opened fire violently in front of the nose of the plane, intercepting it with a hail of bullets.
Takayama Yisuo couldn't care anymore. He stared at the three bombers parked at the airport and rushed over desperately.
There was only a "boom" sound, and a shell hit the nose of Yisu Takayama's bomber. The explosion of the shell shattered the glass of the cockpit, and the glass fragments hit Yifu Takayama. He only felt that his vision went dark, and his eyes were already gone.
Lost vision.
Takayama Yisuo knew that he was doomed and that he could not accurately fly over the enemy planes and provide the bombardiers with the opportunity to drop bombs.
He simply pushed the control stick, lowered the nose of the aircraft, and crashed directly into the target.
At this time, there were some air force ground staff and security personnel in the aircraft maintenance workshop. When they saw the enemy plane swooping over, they panicked and fled in all directions.
The guard battalion commander at the airport saw the airport with flames and smoke billowing into the sky. His heart was already half cold. Now when he saw the enemy planes rushing towards the three bombers parked in front of the maintenance workshop, his heartbeat almost stopped.
It's about to pause.
He closed his eyes unconsciously and couldn't bear to see the three bombers being blown up by enemy planes.
There was a loud bang, followed by a series of explosions. The guard battalion commander opened his eyes and saw thick smoke billowing in front of him, and could not see anything.
His heart felt cold and he didn't know how to explain it to his superiors.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the guard battalion commander was surprised to find that the three bombers were intact. He couldn't help but cheered.
It turned out that Takayama Yisuo was blind after being injured. He could only dive in a general direction. As a result, the angle of the dive was too large, and he hit the runway directly before reaching the target. The plane caught fire and exploded about that distance away.
The three planes were still dozens of meters away. Except for the shell of the bomber closest to the explosion site that suffered some impact from the explosion debris, causing some minor damage, the other two planes and the buildings behind them remained intact.
.
After receiving the report from the airport guard, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others drove to the airport. Everyone was shocked to see the mess at the airport.
Zhao Gang was so anxious that before the guard battalion commander who came to report the situation could speak, he hurriedly asked: "What have been lost?"
The guard battalion commander said: "Four of the five planes parked on the tarmac were blown up. One of the three planes being repaired was slightly damaged, but the problem is not serious. The other two planes are well preserved. The buildings on the airport
There is nothing wrong with anything, and the most important thing is that no one was injured."
The guerrillas only had eight bombers in total, and four of them were destroyed at once. Zhao Gang shivered with heartache.
Before the guard battalion commander finished his report, he ran to the bombed planes, looking at the broken wreckage, his eyes became red.
The guard battalion commander continued to report to Xu Dalong and others. After speaking, he said with some shame: "Captain, leaders, I am really sorry. It was my dereliction of duty for not protecting the airport. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Xu Dalong said: "I don't blame you for this matter. Even I didn't expect that the little devils would send planes to sneak attacks. However, after this incident, we still need to strengthen our vigilance. You can set up some distant warning posts around the airport.
, as long as an enemy plane is discovered, fire an alarm and use a relay method to issue the alarm."
The guard battalion commander said: "Yes, captain, I understand. I have a suggestion. These Japanese planes are flying from the direction of Houma. I will send people to set up a surveillance post on the hilltop in that direction. However, I still have a suggestion.
Please ask your superiors to equip us with two radios so that we can give early warning once enemy planes are discovered."
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "That's right. It should be like this. Every time you learn something, you will gain wisdom. Being able to think of this method shows that you have used your brain. I believe that your security battalion will be able to protect the airport."
There was a problem at the airport, and the people responsible for protecting the airport were from the independent brigade. Wang Limin looked a little confused. He originally wanted to reprimand the guard battalion commander, but when he saw that Xu Dalong did not blame the guard battalion commander, it was equivalent to giving him this independence.
The brigade commander saved face, and he felt better.
He said to the guard battalion commander: "Did you hear that? The captain was magnanimous and did not hold you accountable, but you must be more careful in the future and this situation will never happen again, otherwise I will not be able to spare you."
The guard battalion commander hurriedly said: "Yes, brigade commander, I understand."
Li Yunlong saw that Zhao Gang was sad, so he asked someone to help him, came to Zhao Gang, patted his shoulder, and said: "Old Zhao, didn't you just lose a few planes? It's nothing special. Find an opportunity.
We, Lao Li, will help you seize some more."
At this time, Xu Dalong and others also came over. After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Xu Dalong also said: "Yes, Zhao Zhengwei, the regiment leader is right. After our newly recruited pilots arrive, we will sneak attack on the little devils."
From the airport, bring dozens of them back at once."
Zhao Gang himself is an open-minded person, but because he is the chief steward of the base area, the enemy's sneak attack caused property losses, which will inevitably make him feel distressed.
Hearing everyone comforting himself, he also knew that being sad was useless, so he said: "You are right. If you destroy it, just destroy it. Anyway, these planes were also seized from the little devils. If the little devils blew up four of our planes, we
Just go and capture forty of them."
At this time, Bob and the American pilots also rushed over after hearing the news. They were all dumbfounded when they saw the tragic situation at the airport.
Bob asked: "Captain, what will we do if there are no planes?"
Xu Dalong smiled easily and said: "We didn't snatch these planes back together. The losses are just losses. At worst, we can go to the Japanese to snatch some more back."
Bob was a little anxious and asked: "When are we going to steal the Japanese plane?"
