Chapter 512 Bloody Battle 4 Draws (5)
Commander Chen paced back and forth, his face becoming increasingly grim.
Chemical plant? Air raid?
what is happening?
After all, today, the 88th and 91st divisions have encountered crazy attacks from the Communist Army, and the 87th division is the only fresh force in his hands! It is also the last hope for defending the city!
And this air raid!
Last time I reported that the Communist Army had an air force, with the most advanced jet fighters, and now they even have bombers!
However, Commander Chen changed his mind.
Since the Americans could provide so much aid to the Kuomintang, it was normal for the Soviets to provide aircraft to the Communist Party!
The situation in Northeast China is becoming increasingly difficult. The Communist army has more people and its equipment is no less than that of the National Army. How can we fight this war?
In his heart, he gradually lost confidence in defending the city!
After pondering for a while, he suddenly made up his mind.
"Pass on my order. Military headquarters should move out of the city immediately. Notify the 87th Division defending the east of the city to prepare for the response!"
Everyone's faces showed joy. The commander had figured it out. He was finally going to break out! Everyone finally had a way to survive!
In the sky, Yin Xinjun was already on his way back in his Stuka bomber.
He came to Siping this time because he received a telegram from Dingshan. What interested him most was that there were many Japanese factories in Siping, which meant that there should be many workers in Siping!
The most urgent need of the Mulan Arsenal is workers! Although the aircraft manufacturing is progressing steadily according to plan, Yin Xinjun still feels that the progress is too slow!
Therefore, Siping must be taken, and it must be taken as soon as possible, so as to avoid sacrificing many soldiers and obtain many workers!
Yin Xinjun thought about various options, and suddenly he thought of the Stuka B bomber in the hangar of Tonghe County Airport.
Originally, there was only this one bomber in his space, but Yin Xinjun had never considered the bombing combat mode. He just wanted to develop jet fighters to compete for air supremacy in the Korean battlefield, or to prevent the Americans from easily gaining air supremacy. The earliest he would develop bombers would be next year or the year after!
This Stuka B bomber could carry a 500 kg bomb under its belly and a 110 kg bomb on each wing.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Stuka dive bomber are very obvious. The advantage is that it can strike ground targets very accurately, causing huge casualties and psychological panic to the enemy. The disadvantages are mainly slow speed, poor maneuverability, short range, and weak defense. It is very dependent on fighter escort.
The Stuka bomber was equipped with an air-driven sound-generating device on the cooling air intake of its nose, so when it dived to drop bombs it would often emit a shrill, ear-piercing sound like an air defense alarm. Since each shrieking sound was inevitably followed by a violent explosion, it was also called the "Screaming Death."
However, Yin Xinjun's inspiration came from his listening and positioning, and now the range has reached 3 kilometers, while the Stuka bomber's bombing height is only a few hundred meters. At this height, Yin Xinjun can lock the target very accurately without any assistance!
Especially after the last airborne landing in Xi'an County, he became more and more adept at the tactical use of the Air Force!
This is why he came to bomb Siping tonight. He doesn’t have to worry about the Kuomintang fighter planes at night, and he will not be affected in any way!
And during this bombing, he deliberately avoided the Kuomintang Siping Front Command. After all, Commander Chen was the future general of the Republic and made great contributions to the peaceful liberation of Changsha!
After only one and a half hours of flying, he returned to Tonghe County Airport. At this time, it was not yet 11 o'clock at night, and he notified the ground crew to refuel and reload the bombs.
There were more than 30 Japanese bombs of various types in the airport's warehouse, all of which were captured from Fengtian that year. He also specifically instructed the ground crew to choose the bombs with delayed fuses!
This type of bomb has a small propeller at the tail and the logo is also unique!
Yin Xinjun made detailed calculations and decided that he could go out twice this night to bomb Siping repeatedly!
The plane slowly landed on the runway of Tonghe Airport.
After stopping,
A group of ground crew members immediately ran over, busy figures shuttling around the plane.
A tanker truck also drove over quickly, and several ground crew members began to refuel the plane!
Another group of ground crew members worked together to push the heavy bomb forward slowly. Sweat dripped from their foreheads and soaked their collars, but their hands still controlled the direction of the bomb steadily. Every step seemed so heavy, yet so firm.
They nervously operated the crane, lifted the bomb accurately, and slowly moved it to the aircraft's mounting point. When the bomb was close to the mounting point, the ground crew carefully adjusted the position to ensure that every connecting part was accurately connected. Their eyes revealed tension and concentration, because any small mistake could have disastrous consequences.
During the tense operation, they cooperated with each other, conveying information through gestures and short commands, as if forming a close-knit combat team.
Finally, the bomb was successfully mounted on the plane, and the ground crew quickly cleaned up the scene and made final preparations for the plane to take off again.
Siping City,
Southeast,
At the foot of Tazi Mountain,
The position of the 6th Regiment of the 18th Division of the 54th Column,
Guo Qiang was extremely upset.
In addition, the sound of gunfire continued in Siping City.
It was not until the early morning that he managed to close his eyes for a while.
During the day, their regiment attacked the Tazishan position for a whole day.
The whole regiment suffered more than 400 casualties!
The enemy built a large number of fortifications on the mountain, including more than 100 bunkers, all of which were reinforced concrete structures!
The division commander has given a death order that after daybreak, we must continue to attack Tazi Mountain. If we cannot take it during the day, we must withdraw their regiment!
This is a shame for Guo Qiang and all the officers and soldiers of the regiment!
Tazi Mountain is the commanding height of Siping. By taking Tazi Mountain, you can overlook the entire city and guide the artillery to attack enemy targets throughout the city!
There were bursts of shrill roars.
Boom boom boom, several loud noises were heard!
Guo Qiang, who had just fallen asleep for less than half an hour, shuddered all over and woke up again!
The explosion seemed to be very close, right on the mountain!
He hurried out of the tent, picked up the telescope and looked at the mountain. There were several fires burning!
This made Guo Qiang wonder, who was shelling Tazishan?
He walked back to the tent and checked his watch.
Four thirty-five in the morning!
Guo Qiang yawned, took out a cigarette and started smoking. It was almost dawn and he couldn't sleep!
After a while,
A surprised voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Captain, commander, the enemy on the mountain has raised the white flag of surrender!"
