Chapter 601: Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (18)
After working hard all night, the Japanese army's plane that forced a landing in Weishan Lake was finally caught and dragged it to Weishan Island.
It's really a big behemoth to hide such a big monster, but now that it's dismembered, it's much easier to deal with. There are caves on Weishan Island. It's not difficult to find a dry and large space.
After Lu Tianlong returned to Guide and advanced to the airport, he immediately reported the situation of the Japanese bomber who had been forced to land. At this time, ground troops needed to cooperate.
However, he was soon asked to talk!
The commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone gave him a strange closure. He could only say that he had "shooted down" the Japanese bomber that forced a landfall in Weishan Lake, and he could not say a single word.
Of course, the military achievements of shooting down enemy planes will still be counted on him.
As a soldier, Lu Tianlong also knew that there might be military secrets that he didn't know. If he insisted on knowing, it would cause trouble for him.
This incident was suppressed. Later, after the Identification Period, Lu Tianlong wrote this story in his memoirs, and the world realized that this Japanese bomber was a forced landing, not a crash.
Although the pilot who was flying the reconnaissance plane discovered the falling plane, he did not know the specific situation of the plane. Later, China announced the number of destructions.
After the Japanese army calculated this, they just took the opportunity to count this one. The war was tense and the plane crashed into the lake again. It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to salvage it, and it was easy to be discovered by the Chinese.
So the Japanese army simply gave up.
If the Japanese army knew that the bomber had just landed on the water, the plane was basically intact, and the possibility of personnel surviving it, this would probably not be the decision.
Of course, this is definitely the best for the Honorary First Division. Leng Feng’s least expects now is the Japanese to enter Weishan Lake on a large scale.
However, he also knew that it would be a matter of time before the Japanese entered Weishan Lake. They were also wary of the squadrons that could come from Weishan Lake at any time and arranged considerable guards on the east bank of Weishan Lake, mainly responsible for the 8th Brigade of Takehei Nagase.
As soon as the plane was dragged into the cave, Leng Feng took people to inspect it.
Power system, avionics system, weapon system
After careful inspection, although the aircraft was damaged to some extent, it was caused during disassembly and transportation, and the possibility of repair is very high.
Judging from the basic data of the aircraft and the information on the equipment on the aircraft, this is obviously not a twin-engine bomber produced in Japan, but is obviously an engine imported from abroad.
Fiat air-cooled 14-cylinder, dual-engine, 1,000 horsepower, and the nameplate on the engine is clearly marked. It is not difficult to guess the origin of this aircraft.
First of all, the lineage has been confirmed. The engine is the heart of an aircraft, and the heart is the source of power. Therefore, unless it is a country that does not have the ability to produce engines, as long as it has a certain aviation industry, it will definitely have its own aviation engine manufacturer.
When building aircraft, choosing your own domestic enterprise will not be subject to localization considerations.
Although Japan is not the world's top aircraft manufacturing, they have their own aircraft engine production technology. If it is an aircraft developed by itself, their first choice is their own engine. Unless their engines do not meet the aircraft design requirements, they may seek external help.
This twin-engine bomber came to Italy.
The twin-engine heavy bomber produced in Italy only has one series of 20s. Although Leng Front did not see the complete aircraft, it is basically certain that this is a 20 or an improved model.
Although this aircraft is not the most advanced twin-engine heavy bomber, it is still very advanced for China, which has basically zero aviation industry.
If the technical memory of this aircraft can be reversely engineered and absorbed, it will also be a huge progress for China's aviation industry.
Some things always need to be done by someone. The aviation industry is a systematic project, and it is not something that can be done by introducing a few talents or building a few factories.
It is necessary to support a country in completing the industrial system. At present, it is still difficult for China to find a supporting industrial chain.
Of course, it is easy to build aircraft now in countries with a complete industrial system. If you can’t buy other people’s parts, it’s not a big problem to assemble them yourself when you come back.
Some things are now impossible to make by themselves, such as aircraft engines. In China, from large aircraft tanks to small transistors and screws, they all have to be imported from abroad.
Over the past century, the Chinese have worked hard to carry out the industrial revolution and keep up with the world's footsteps, but they are always interrupted, warlords fight and invasion of the great powers, which is heartbreaking.
Leng Feng was very worried. He not only wanted to build guns and cannons, but also airplanes, tanks and ships. He even thought about nuclear weapons, but he had to eat every lesson and take the road step by step.
Now we will accumulate talents and cultivate talents first, and conduct basic research.
The layout in the southwest is already urgent.
"Find a few talents who know how to use machinery and drawing, continue to disassemble the plane, mark all the parts and their locations, and you must not miss a screw. Also, according to the appearance of the plane, you should have large and partial pictures. There is no need to worry about this work, you can take it slowly, we have time." Leng Feng ordered.
Although I don’t quite understand why Leng Feng did this, there must be his reason.
I don’t know if the teacher has arrived in the Soviet Union. Leng Feng is not interested in the Soviet-made weapons, except for those that cannot be made. He has too many light weapons in his mind.
As long as he is given equipment and raw materials, what he makes may not be worse than the Russians' own.
The Soviet Union's technology is not the best, but they have some technical equipment they want, and some are necessary for manufacturing weapons. Although they are one or two generations behind Europe and the United States, they are always better than China.
Time is not waiting for me, Leng Feng wishes to build up China's weapons manufacturing and aviation industry now, but he is now a clever woman, so he can only take his time.
On the third day of the fierce battle, the Japanese army's artillery density was significantly weakened. Luo Yufeng and others inferred that the Japanese army's ammunition supply might not be available.
If they had fought like the Japanese army, they would have been unable to live a long time ago.
The artillery battalion has been exposed, so Luo Yufeng no longer hides it. In yesterday's battle, if the artillery battalion had not shared part of the pressure, the pressure and casualties of the group guarding Taierzhuang City would have been greater.
Cao Xingyang led his team to retreat to Lanling Town, and happened to meet Yang Rui and Guo Xing who were detouring from Fei County to return to Taierzhuang. The two teams immediately joined forces and attacked a head-on attack on a squadron of the pursuing Japanese army!
The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.
Lanling Town was controlled by the squadron, which was a huge security on the left side of the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang. Furong Zhenping had to send some troops to guard the direction of Lanling Town.
On the third day, just a ray of light appeared in the horizon in the morning, the Japanese army organized an attack, and thousands of Japanese troops launched a fierce attack on the front guarding Taierzhuang.
In addition to the new 38th Brigade guarding Taierzhuang, the 31st and the 27th Division of the Second Army also entered the battle. Artillery fire flew across the front dozens of kilometers, and the sound of killing was shocking.
In Taierzhuang City, the First Regiment of the New 38th Brigade and the Third Battalion of the 63rd Regiment of the Japanese Army repeatedly competed for every street and every house in the city.
Almost every second, people fell down, including Japanese troops and New 38th Brigade.
The Japanese army's offensive was quite fierce. Obviously, they wanted to take down Taierzhuang as soon as possible and reveal the news they sent to Tokyo, which would be unfavorable.
The Japanese army once bombarded the northwest corner with heavy artillery and rushed in from the northwest corner, but the 1st and 2nd Company of the 1st and 2nd Company were defeated and retreated.
Later, after several battles, the northwest corner was occupied by the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese army that entered the solemn Japanese army had almost two Japanese squadrons.
With the advantage of artillery fire, the Japanese army finally occupied the north of the city, which was about less than one-third of Taierzhuang.
Seeing his troops gaining a foothold in the north of Taierzhuang City, Furong Zhenping felt relieved. As long as he breaks through the opponent's city defense, it is only a matter of time before he takes down Taierzhuang. All that is left is water grinding skills, which can also grind the opponent to death.
The atmosphere of the new 38th Brigade Command outside the village was tense. When the Japanese army broke in, it was easy to bring about an avalanche effect. When defending Taierzhuang City, Luo Yufeng made a military order in front of Chief Li. People were in the city, and people died.
"Can Lao Wu resist?"
"He hasn't called for help yet, it means he still has enough energy!" Luo Yufeng said calmly.
After fighting so many battles, there is still a tacit understanding. The strategy that guarding Taierzhuang was originally formulated was to fight street battles with the enemy and fight at night, and to exhaust and drag the Japanese army to death here.
The intensity of the battle in the village was beyond imagination. The Japanese army once rushed to a place less than twenty meters away from Wu Youyuan's command.
Fortunately, the Japanese didn't know, otherwise, they would have fought over with a charge.
At the most critical moment, Wu Youyuan personally led the reserve team to kill and defeat the Japanese army. The place where the two armies fought was not just that you had me, but that I had you, but that they were all mixed together.
Even the commanders of both sides could not control this battle. How to control it? They were all fighting on their own. With one order, even the commander might not be able to find someone.
There is no place in the entire Taierzhuang City without gunfire.
In general, for the prepared regiment, the Japanese army suffered a loss. As the attacking side, they must aim to occupy Taierzhuang City, while the guard side only needs to defend their own positions and take advantage of familiar terrain. Before that, a large number of bunkers and underground fortifications were built.
These bunkers and underground fortifications played a huge role, not only protecting a regiment of officers and soldiers from casualties during the Japanese artillery and bombardment, but also flexibly attacked in the subsequent street fighting and ensuring the smooth flow of news. In fact, Wu Youyuan's grasp of his troops was much better than that of the Japanese army, so he was able to quickly adjust his deployment, react or fight back!
Although the Japanese army seemed to be making good progress, they actually suffered huge casualties. By the time the Japanese front-line commander discovered the problem and ordered the contraction of troops, it was too late.
As soon as the Japanese army contracted, Wu Youyuan immediately seized the opportunity to recover the lost territory. Soon, the Japanese army worked hard for a whole morning and killed hundreds of people, but got nothing.
The bunker, a well-connected underground secret passage, forms a spider-web-like defense system. Only by breaking through this defense system can Taierzhuang be truly occupied.
To be continued.
