When Anan Weiji rushed to Nanyuan Airport after hearing the news, it was already half an hour later. Fast updates and no ads.
At this time, what appeared in front of Anami Weiji, apart from the mess on the ground at the airport, were only the body of Kojima, the captain of the airport guard team, and the more than 100 officers and soldiers of the guard team, each of them looked like a wooden chicken, with expressions Standing there numbly, waiting for the announcement from Anan Weiji, the commander of the front army.
Seeing this scene, Anan suddenly became furious.
Nanyuan Airport, this is the largest military airport in North China. Three fighter squadrons, two attack squadrons and one transport aircraft squadron are stationed here. It’s not bad. Two attack aircraft squadrons and one transport aircraft squadron have been seconded. The Kwantung Army was not at Nanyuan Airport at this time.
There are also those three fighter squadrons, one of which has not returned yet.
But even so, two fighter squadrons and a total of twenty-four fighter jets were lost this time. This is an unprecedented loss for the North China Front! Since the full-scale Sino-Japanese war broke out, I am afraid that only the attack on Yangmingbao Airport caused greater losses than now.
However, no matter how great the losses were in the Yangmingbao battle, it had nothing to do with him.
But in the battle at Nanyuan Airport in front of him, Anan Weiji bears the unshirkable responsibility for tactical misjudgment!
"Baga Yalu, these idiots, all idiots!" Looking at the frightened officers and soldiers of the garrison, Anan immediately became furious and roared hysterically, "Send them to Manchuria immediately to dig coal. All of them will be sent to Manchuria to dig coal. No one will be allowed to return to China until they have dug for twenty years. Hurry up!"
Kaneko Eijiro, who also serves as Anami's adjutant, waved slightly, and a team of military police immediately stepped forward and escorted the more than a hundred garrison officers and soldiers who were stunned.
Watching the airport guard being escorted away, Anan's anger finally subsided.
Taking a deep breath, Anami Weiji asked Jinguang Keijiro: "Jinguang-kun, in your opinion, who is the person who attacked Nanyuan Airport this time?"
Kanemitsu Keijiro said: "According to the information provided by the air traffic controller, these were two stray Kwantung Army attack planes. The militants who attacked Nanyuan Airport all got off these two attack planes, but the Kwantung Army pilots absolutely It is impossible to take the initiative to attack Nanyuan Airport, so the identity of this group of militants is already very obvious."
After a pause, Kaneko Eijiro said decisively: "It must be Langya!"
"Langya? Xu Rui?!" Anan Wei frowned and said, "But didn't Xu Rui threaten to go to Nanjing for revenge? This guy has always kept his word and almost never breaks his promise. Will this time be an exception? "
"That's not the case." Kanemitsu Keijiro shook his head and said, "If you think about it carefully, the information we got that Xu Rui was going to Nanjing to seek revenge on Lord Tada Shun was only obtained from the spies lurking in Suiyuan, and Xu Rui, in fact, was not published publicly in the newspapers, nor was it broadcast nationwide."
Anan Weiji's expression immediately changed.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. Xu Rui really did not publish the newspaper publicly this time, nor did he make a public call. It was just the news spread through the Sui Army. However, they have already formed a belief in Xu Rui's words. Because of this, I didn't pay attention to this detail, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a big mistake!
"Baga!" Ananwei gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Rui is so cunning!"
After a pause, Anan Weiji asked again: "Jin Guangjun, where will Xu Rui and the others go after they hijack the plane?"
"There is no doubt about this." Jinguang Kejiro said, "After Xu Rui and the others rob the plane, they will definitely go to Baotou!"
"Going to Baotou?" Anan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable coldness, and he said sternly, "Bring me the map!"
The accompanying operational staff officer immediately took out a map of North China from his bag. Anan stretched out his hand and scratched the map twice, then a murderous intent appeared in the corner of his mouth and said: "From a time perspective, Xu Rui and the others will be there at most now." Yu County, if fighter jets are scrambled from Zhangjiakou Airport to intercept at this time, it should be too late!"
Kanemitsu Keijiro followed the gesture, nodded and said: "It will definitely be in time!"
"Hey!" Anan said with a ferocious voice, "Immediately call the First Army and the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, and order them to closely monitor the entire North China through all the strongholds on the ground. If they find an aircraft flying over, report it immediately. , In addition, the fourth squadron of fighter jets stationed in Zhangjiakou was ordered to take off urgently and search in the direction of Datong."
"Hai!" Kaneko Keijiro paused heavily, turned around and hurried away.
Anan Weiji's order was quickly conveyed.
The execution ability of the little devil is still very good.
In less than ten minutes, there was a report from a puppet army stronghold near Yu County. Less than ten minutes ago, a large group of aircraft flew over their heads. There were at least a dozen aircraft in this group. After receiving the report, Kanemitsu Keijiro It was immediately judged that this group of aircraft must be the fighter group driven by Xu Rui and others.
Therefore, Kanemitsu Keijiro immediately contacted the Fifth Squadron of fighter jets that took off from Zhangjiakou Airport. Although the fighters of the Fifth Squadron were not equipped with airborne wireless phones, they were accompanied by a Type 97 land attack aircraft and the fighter jets. This land attack aircraft was equipped with an onboard wireless phone.
Therefore, the control tower at Zhangjiakou Airport can remotely control the Fifth Squadron through this Type 97 attack aircraft. After receiving a call from the North China Front Army Headquarters, the flight control tower at Zhangjiakou Airport immediately notified the fighter aircraft through the airborne wireless phone. The Fifth Squadron detoured to the airspace west of Yu County to intercept.
…
The intelligence provided by the puppet military stronghold in Yu County was correct. The fleet of more than ten fighter jets that just flew over Yu County was indeed the fleet flown by Langya.
To be honest, Xu Rui's luck is really good.
When the two Type 96 land attack aircraft they landed on landed at Nanyuan Airport, the two fighter squadrons that had gone to Henan to intercept them had just returned. What was more advantageous was that the Japanese pilots of these two squadrons were at that time I happened to be drinking coffee in the lounge, so after the raid, no Japanese pilots took off.
In addition, when Xu Rui and the others landed, the ground crew had just refueled the aircraft and filled the ammunition box of the aircraft's heavy machine gun with bullets. Therefore, after the attack, the Langya team members only needed to get into the cockpit. Start the engine and take off, which saves a lot of time than previously expected.
Therefore, every fighter jet is fully fueled and fully loaded with ammunition.
After catching up with the fleet in front, Xu Rui first guided the fleet to fly in formation, and then ordered the entire fleet to maintain a flying altitude of two thousand meters. He himself formed a three-person combat team with Di Gua and Leng Tiefeng, and then climbed to an altitude of three thousand meters. , monitor nearby airspace from high altitude and be responsible for warning.
Xu Rui and the other three were flying Type 96 fighter jets with a range of 1,200 kilometers.
The rest of the Langya team members flew Type 97 fighter jets with a range of only 800 kilometers.
Therefore, Xu Rui and the three of them drove their own planes and shouldered the duty of guarding.
The three people are not monitoring at fixed points. Every once in a while, one of the three people will fly his own plane and patrol around both sides to see if there are any Japanese fighter jets approaching. The reason why only one aircraft is arranged to patrol, and then Taking turns is naturally to save fuel. After all, the straight-line distance from Peiping to Baotou is almost 700 kilometers. Therefore, there is not much left to spare, so of course we still have to save fuel.
After flying for about half an hour, when it was Xu Rui's turn to patrol, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something abnormal in the three o'clock direction. Xu Rui raised his telescope and looked in the three o'clock direction, and saw a large group of Japanese planes approaching quickly. Carefully, Counting them, no more, no less than twelve, a fighter squadron.
The altitude of the Japanese fighter jets was also maintained at about two thousand meters, so Xu Rui was not found above them.
Business is coming! A sinister smile appeared on Xu Rui's lips, and he pushed the joystick fiercely. The plane immediately made a large circle and flew in front of Leng Tiefeng and Digua, and then spoke sign language to the two of them through the porthole window. After receiving Xu Rui's order, both of them made OK gestures, understand!
At this time, the Japanese fighter group had already approached within a thousand meters!
The Japanese fighter jets, which remained at an altitude of two thousand meters, only discovered the Langya aircraft group at the same height, but did not find the other three fighter jets that were ambushing at an altitude of three thousand meters. The next moment, Xu Rui and the others pushed the joystick forward fiercely, and the three fighters A Type 96 carrier-based modified fighter jet had already swooped down.
It wasn't until they were less than a hundred meters apart that the Japanese fighter jets swooped over finally discovered the enemy's situation.
Ambush in higher airspace in advance and wait for the enemy aircraft to enter the attack range before launching a dive attack. This is the most basic and classic air combat tactic in the era of propeller aircraft. The reason why this ambush tactic is classic is because it is practical, because it seizes the commanding heights in advance and Gaining a speed advantage, the ambushed party often fails to react and is shot down.
The three Type 96 fighter jets driven by Xu Rui and others dived down at a high speed of more than 120 meters per second. In less than ten seconds, they were less than 100 meters away from the enemy plane. In the next moment, Xu Rui was three Everyone pressed the firing button at the same time, and the heavy machine gun installed directly above the nose of the aircraft immediately opened fire violently.
The three fighter jets in the Japanese fleet were caught off guard and were instantly hit by dense bullets. One of the Japanese fighter jets was penetrated by the fuel tank, causing an explosion and instantly disintegrated in the air. Although the other Japanese fighter jet was not hit in the fuel tank, it suffered a fatal fate. It wasn't much better. The wings of the plane were broken, and it slowly fell from the sky while spinning.
Only Digua missed, and his flying skills were still not good enough.
In the blink of an eye, two of the three-plane formation flying at the rear of the Japanese aircraft group were shot down. The remaining Japanese aircraft was in shock and quickly rolled over with a barrel to dodge to the side. At the same time, the fighter aircraft accompanying it flew to the side. A Type 97 attack plane also sent out a signal in time to remind its companions that there were three more enemy planes behind them.
