Chapter 635: Landing in Yanzhou
At around 1:30 p.m., a transport plane painted with brightly colored Japanese Army Rising Sun flag entered from the southwest of Yanzhou. When the plane entered the air above the Yanzhou area, it began to lower its altitude.
“Switch frequency!”
"yes!"
"Call the tower, ask for the runway, and prepare to land!" Lu Tianlong personally drove the transport plane and led the seventeen pilots of the Seventh Squadron to the sky above Yanzhou with full equipment.
They could clearly see the battle below continued, with gunpowder smoke, fireballs that exploded and burned, and deafening explosions.
This was the first time he had performed such a task. When he received this task, he was shocked and thought it was impossible to complete, and it was very dangerous.
You should know how difficult it is to train pilots, especially in China today, where pilots are urgently needed, and pilots are almost a small group of talents on the top towers that can be competent.
It’s not something that can be driven by just pulling on the plane alone. Even if you can fly the plane, then fighting in the air is definitely not an ordinary person with this courage.
Therefore, it involves the life and death of more than a dozen pilots. He really dares not take this risk. If something happens, the cost will be too high.
Therefore, all the pilots on the transport plane brought their own parachutes this time. If an accident really happens, it is only a few that can survive.
They came with a heart that would die.
If this mission is successful, they will be recorded in the history of the Chinese Air Force and become world-famous heroes. I am afraid there will be no such examples in air combat abroad.
The ground forces seized the enemy's airport, and the air force dispatched pilots to the enemy's airport to drive their planes back. Such a seizure would definitely shock the whole world.
Lu Tianlong and his comrades are completing a stunning move.
Disguising as a Japanese transport plane, this is what Wu Xiaoyun means. The Japanese army is not stupid and cannot let them find that an aircraft that does not belong to them enters the area they actually control.
If you use aircraft painting to confuse the Japanese army, you can at least get them a certain amount of time. When the Japanese army confirms that the transport plane is not their own, it will probably seem to have been revealed.
On the ground, Zhang Zhongling's command troops had already divided Yanzhou City and Dongdaying. The 24 Liao Type 14 howitzers from the 17th Artillery Regiment were transferred from behind and bombarded violently at the solid fortresses and watchtowers built by the Japanese army!
The Japanese army desperately resisted with the help of brick-concrete cement fortifications built, but they did not have heavy weapons that could pose a threat to the new 39th Brigade and were so bombarded that they could not raise their heads.
At 1:00 p.m., the watchtowers in the southeast and southwest corners of the Japanese East Camp collapsed one after another under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions broke in.
The Japanese army tried desperately to block the bombardment of heavy artillery at all, and retreated step by step.
Yanzhou City, surrounded but did not attack, some of the Japanese troops stationed in the city and the Japanese military police were blocked in the city. They could neither support the Japanese troops in Dongdaying nor could they come out.
All communications outside the city were cut off. As the highest commander of Yanzhou, Colonel Sakurai was unable to control the situation outside the city, and he did not even know the news that the airport was occupied.
The telephone line leading to Yanzhou City at the airport has long been artificially cut off.
Radio communications were also interrupted.
In addition to asking for help from the Japanese troops in Jinan, Tai'an and other places, Colonel Sakurai also reported the news of a strong attack in Yanzhou to Risuke Isotani in Lincheng.
Jining was occupied and Yanzhou was besieged again.
When Isotani Ryosuke received a telegram from Sakurai, he was shocked. What was going on? How could Yanzhou be besieged by the GJ team?
Where did they come from?
According to the information transferred from the Jinan Second Army Command, Aosuke Isotani soon learned that the Zhonggj team besieged Yanzhou passed by Weishan Lake.
Obviously, this is a long-planned action.
But he sent a warning force to Weishan Lake, so there was no news in advance, and he dispatched planes to conduct aviation reconnaissance on Weishan Lake every day.
Have you never noticed any signs of agglomeration of a large number of ships?
How the Chinese did it? Isotani Risuke couldn't figure it out, nor could he understand that Yanzhou was the location of the division headquarters of the 10th Division, and had solid city defenses and the military camp was strengthened. He thought that he would not be able to conquer the GJ team in a while.
The confident Ryosuke Isotani drew up about one brigade of troops from the troops guarding Weishan Lake from Lieutenant General Nagase's detachment and went north to help Yanzhou.
By the way, the Japanese army troops released by Zhang Zhongling from Yanzhou to Zoucheng were intercepted by Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment.
A cavalry vs. infantry showdown broke out!
The final victory in the rain is more cruel and bloody than imagined.
The result is conceivable. The Japanese army did not last long before it was eaten by Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment, and Hu Que only suffered dozens of casualties, which could be said to be a huge victory.
This victory is completely different from the recovery of Jining, so the attention of this victory is naturally not as great as the latter.
However, Hu Bagui made a considerable fortune, seized a batch of Japanese troops, kept the rest, and sent people to Xinglong Town and handed them over to Zhang Zhongling.
At around 1:40 pm, after two trials, Lu Tianlong successfully landed the transport plane on the runway of the former Japanese army's field airport in Yanzhou.
The gunfire around has not stopped yet, but the airport is already quite safe.
A captain GJ came towards him. Lu Tianlong guessed that this might be the commander in charge of occupying the airport security, so he put on his flying hat and walked over.
Cong Hu and his men also arrived at Yanzhou Airport. Before they could eat and rest, they received the news that their transport plane had landed and came to greet them quickly.
"Conghu, honored the staff of the First Division, and is temporarily responsible for the security of Yanzhou field airport!"
"Hello, Staff Cong, I am Lu Tianlong, the squadron leader of the 7th Squadron of the Third Air Force Battalion!" Lu Tianlong also introduced himself and saluted him.
"So you are Captain Lu, the 'Air Dragon' of the Air Third Team, and you are so rude!"
"What kind of dragon in the air is all nicknames given by others."
"Captain Lu, please and your subordinates go to the conference room. We will explain the situation to you first." Cong Hu said.
"No, let's go see the plane first!"
"That's fine, let's talk while watching, so that you can grasp the situation as soon as possible." Cong Hu nodded.
Cong Hu led Lu Tianlong and his party directly towards the Jiwo.
"The Japanese built a total of nineteen aircraft nests at the airport. When we attacked the airport, the shell accidentally hit two aircraft nests. The aircraft inside were partially damaged. Our maintenance engineers checked it and cannot be used for the time being. Two of the other seventeen aircraft nests were empty, leaving a total of fifteen Japanese aircraft, including 93HH, 895 fighter jets, two 92 reconnaissance aircraft, and a br20 twin-engine bomber..."
"Staff General Cong learned to fly?"
"Not before, I'm just learning now."
"That's right." Lu Tianlong walked into a nest and saw strangely that someone was repairing the plane. Seeing their outfits, they were wearing Japanese Air Force ground staff clothes, communicating and talking to each other, and also using Japanese.
"Staff Officer Cong, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, Captain Lu, although they are Japanese, they are now ours. After we took the airport, the original Japanese pilots and ground crew members were captured, and we dare not use them. These people were brought by me and were specifically responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft. We will arrange division of labor and responsibilities. Whoever has an accident in the maintenance aircraft will lose his head!" Cong Hu explained.
"But they are all Japanese, how could you...?"
"Captain Lu Squadron, this is the case, I will explain it to you..." Cong Hu pulled Lu Tianlong aside and explained the origins of these Japanese people in a low voice.
"So that's the case. I really didn't expect that you actually have a group of such prisoners in your hands." Lu Tianlong was shocked. According to regulations, special prisoners must be reported and cannot be seized privately. They need to be handed over to prison camps or prisons that specialize in the supervision of the prisoners.
The Honorary First Division had such a courageous courage. He actually took down the prisoners in private and forced them to use them for my own use. What other ideas do you have?
Lu Tianlong was unwilling to get involved. He thought that they would have to take into account the work of groundwork, but he didn't expect that he had already thought about it for them.
This will greatly shorten the time for return. Moreover, they still have time to get familiar with these Japanese fighter jets. Although they have used Japanese planes, it was many years ago after all.
"Staff General Cong, we need to be familiar with Japanese fighter jets. Do the airport have aircraft information and maintenance records?"
"Yes, but they are all in Japanese. Can you understand?"
"We have all driven Japanese planes. Do you think you can understand Japanese?" Lu Tianlong smiled and said, "Can you know your enemy without knowing yourself or your enemy?"
"Okay, I'll prepare a lounge for you, and you're all hungry. Japanese canned beef and rice, how about it? I can only wait until the evening."
"Okay, it's great to be able to eat these during the war. As long as we pilots are nutritious enough, we are not picky about food!" Lu Tianlong had a good impression of Cong Hu.
"This br20..." Seeing the br20 lying in the nest, Lu Tianlong felt deeply thinking.
At dusk, a ray of setting sun slowly sets, which means tomorrow may be a good day.
The last gunshot in Taier Village fell.
A Japanese soldier, looking at the neck of the neck, seemed to be a sergeant. He kept spitting blood out of his mouth, stretching his hand to the east, holding it hard, but unfortunately he couldn't grasp anything, gradually drooping and closing his eyes.
"Diet, hey, I wanted to capture a prisoner."
"Forget it, you don't know that this Japanese guy is so stupid that he has been brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and will not surrender."
"But he seems to be not old last year and probably hasn't married yet..."
"What are you doing with that idleness? They are the invaders. How many ordinary people have killed us? Have you ever thought about our parents and fellow villagers?" The platoon leader's stern rebuke rang, "Put your pitiful sympathy and clean up the battlefield quickly."
"yes!"
