Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

At nightfall, a TBM-3W AWACS aircraft took off from the Pulandian front-line airfield.

They took off this time not to carry out a mission, but to debug the data link equipment of the ground intelligence processing center.

"Hawkeye called the eagle's nest, the radar has captured the target signal of the target aircraft, the signal is being transmitted back, please check."

The radar operator in the back seat shouted through the headset without ~ line electricity.

"The eagle's nest received and is analyzing the radar data information."

In the ground intelligence station, more than a dozen staff members were busy at their respective posts.

With the help of a mechanical computer, the information transmitted by the radar was parsed in a few minutes.

"Successful, the radar echo signal has been resolved."

Suddenly everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And then at this time, the aberration happened.

"Eagle's Nest Eagle's Nest, the radar has caught an abnormal radar signal and is being transmitted back."

"I want to ask, is this a sudden maneuver?"

At this moment, on the radar display of the AWACS aircraft, green dot echoes appeared, and there were several.

Suddenly, everyone in the intelligence processing center was nervous.

The director of the intelligence processing center said with a serious face: "Hawkeye, detect the signal of the opposing party's transponder." "

The way to tell if you are friend or foe is very simple.

All the fighters of the Northeast Army Air Force are equipped with identification transponders for friend or foe.

If there is no response, it is enemy aircraft.

And these fighters naturally have no answer signal.

"I have tested several times and there is no answer."

"We have already analyzed the target, which took off from Lushun's side, and it was the little devil's plane.

They can hide really tightly, they were bombed so badly, they actually have fighter planes hidden. "

Then the director of the intelligence processing center immediately shouted: "Order the Night Wandering God Brigade to intercept it." "

In the Pulandian front-line airfield, the night fighter group of the night wandering god that had just landed for a few hours received the sortie mission.

"Interception of incoming Japanese fighters, number 6."

Soon a squadron of 12 P-61 Black Widow fighters was taking off from the airfield.

It was indeed the Japanese that took off from Lushun, and it was also a light crit fighter of Hainan Airlines.

During the day, they took advantage of the gap time and risked death to take off three reconnaissance aircraft.

Although it was shot down in less than ten minutes.

But they also probably figured out where Gustav's position was.

This is their last chance.

Although they knew very well that even if they destroyed these three giant cannons, they would not be able to save the fate of Lushun's fall.

But it is enough to be able to destroy these three giant cannons.

They don't think much about it.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid this is our last mission."

"See you at Yasukuni Shrine after completing your mission."

"Maybe Amaterasu will bless us."

Obviously, Amaterasu will not bless them.

And they didn't have a chance to return to Yasukuni Shrine.

A dense sound of engines reached their ears.

And their light crit engine sound completely different.

Immediately they began to search everywhere.

Unfortunately, in the dark night sky, their vision is very poor, and they can only barely see the ground hundreds of meters with the help of moonlight.

Soon, tongues of fire spewed towards them.

A nighttime aerial hunt took place.

It's a battle without suspense.

12 P-61 Black Widow night fighters easily shot down these 6 Japanese crit aircraft.

"Return home."

Although there are many monks and porridge, for the night fighter group, which already has few tasks.

It's nice to be able to reap the benefits.

The TBM-3W AWACS aircraft, which originally needed to return home, were asked to extend their return by an hour to continue to monitor the movement of Lushun.

At the same time, an additional fighter plane was sent to the northern waters of Bohai Bay to carry out a vigilance mission.

This is just an inconspicuous episode in the Battle of Lushun.

The entry into service of the TBM-3W AWACS aircraft also gives the Northeast Army the capability of long-range air alert.

If their fighters or warships want to sneak attack, it will be much more difficult.

However, what can really make the TBM-3W AWACS aircraft play the greatest role is above the ocean.

If the enemy can be discovered first, it will be able to attack the enemy first, and it will have a great advantage in naval battles.

"The sign-in was successful, congratulations on obtaining three water fighter groups."

"Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining a large steam turbine manufacturing plant."

Today's check-in rewards are a bit less than yesterday.

However, it is impossible to reward so richly every day.

Moreover, these two awards are actually very good, filling the current vacancy in the northeast.

Seaplanes may not be remarkable, but you can't deny their importance.

Of the three seaplane groups, Zhang Xueming chose the most successful PBY-5A Catalina amphibious transport aircraft of World War II.

The maximum take-off weight is 16 tons, the load is 1.5 tons, the maximum flight speed is 341 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 4000 kilometers.

With a long endurance, it can fully undertake patrol, anti-submarine, water rescue and other tasks.

Especially water rescue missions.

In the event of a naval battle in the future, it can brave artillery fire to rescue pilots who eject and land in the ocean.

The second reward is actually very good.

The role of the steam turbine is undeniable.

It can be used both for power plants to generate electricity and for driving large industrial equipment.

Especially in the chemical, refining, metallurgical and other industrial fields, it has a wide range of applications.

The most important thing is the marine steam turbine.

Most ships now use steam turbines.

In the future, it will be the main power plant of transport ships, and it can also be used in nuclear-powered ships for driving.

If transport ships or merchant ships are built, steam turbines are obviously much more advantageous than steam turbines.

Its emergence solves the gap in the current Northeast shipbuilding industry, and its importance is self-evident.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xueming got up very early.

Because today is an important day to launch the second phase of the Lushun campaign.

After the first two days of rounds of bombing and shelling.

The fortifications on the eastern and western fronts and the hidden fortifications on the high ground were almost cleared by large-caliber artillery shells and heavy aerial bombs.

Therefore, the former commander of Lushun decided to launch a tentative attack today.

Today's goal is to take the 203 heights.

As long as the 203 Heights, the commanding height of the brigade, were taken, artillery fire was placed on it.

Attacking other highlands will also be much easier.

A tank battalion and an infantry regiment will be deployed.

However, before that, Lushun concentrated all the artillery of the whole army and prepared to cover the attack of the ground forces.

There were also two Stuka dive bomber groups and a P-47D Thunderbolt fighter group covering them.

This firepower configuration no longer needs to be described as luxurious, it is simply luxurious.

The regimental headquarters of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the new 1st Division was set up on a mountainside about 8 kilometers from Heights 203.

And Zhang Xueming also arrived here early. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

This battle will create the history of the artillery of the Northeast Army, and the scene will be very grand and spectacular.

How could Zhang Xueming miss this opportunity.

His arrival also flattered the whole group.

Accompanying Zhang Xueming was Commander Huang Baitao.

And Yu Chen was naturally thrown in the front finger and was responsible for directing the battle.

From the military high-powered telescope, Zhang Xueming can clearly see the situation of the 203 heights.

The 203 Heights at this moment can simply be described as miserable.

After two days of bombardment, there were craters and loose mud everywhere.

Even the soil appears black under the high temperature.

There is not even a living creature on it.

Zhang Xueming is very suspicious, is there really a little devil on this?

When the time came to eight o'clock sharp, Huang Baitao said and began.

Sure enough, there was a dense whistle of shells overhead.

Then there was a roar overhead.

In response to the attack on Heights 203, the front finger concentrated all the light and heavy artillery of the whole army.

There are more than 500 guns above 105 mm.

These include 54BM13-12 self-propelled rocket launchers and 42 BM13 Katyusha self-propelled rocket launchers.

The firepower of these 96 rocket launchers alone is enough for the little devil to drink a pot.

These 96 rockets alone can fire more than 1,300 rockets.

1,300 rockets, including half of the 300-mm large-caliber rockets.

Covering only 0.5 square kilometers of the 203 Heights, its fire density is shocking.

Hundreds of shells fell one after another, and the volley of thousands of rockets was even more spectacular.

There is even a rocket bridge made up of rockets in the sky.

Like a shooting star, it fell towards Heights 203.

Dense explosions continued on the hilltops of Heights 203.

In particular, thousands of rockets fell one after another in more than ten seconds.

At this moment, the 203 Heights seemed to become a mountain of flames.

The entire mountain was wrapped in flames from the explosion.

Even the momentum of dozens of 240 large-caliber heavy guns was suppressed.

But then three super-large-caliber heavy guns began to fall.

It was the three Gustav cannons that participated in the shelling.

This time they fired high-explosive shells weighing 4.8 guns and a charge of 700 kg.

Three huge plumes of smoke rose from the heights.

The movement caused by the 800-millimeter cannon can be described as landslides and ground cracking, and the ground shaking.

Its power is far from what other artillery can provoke, even large-caliber rocket artillery.

At this moment, two groups of 54 B-29 strategic bombers appeared in the sky clouds.

Looking at the situation of Heights 203 at this moment, even the members of the flight crew couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is there really a little devil alive here?"

"Even earthworms can't live, let alone little devils."

"Stop talking nonsense, work."

Soon, 250 kg and 500 kg bombs fell like dumplings.

The Air Force again carpeted at Heights 203.

A denser and more intense explosion rose above Heights 203.

Are there Japanese troops on Heights 203?

Apparently there is.

How could there be no troops deployed on such an important plateau, how could there be no tunnel fortifications?

However, there are not many little devils surviving at the moment, and there are less than a hundred left.

At this moment, they were shivering in the tunnel behind the mountain.

After two days of indiscriminate bombardment, their faces were already full of numbness.

The shelling lasted more than an hour.

When the shells of the second round of Gustav's giant artillery fell, it was also a signal for the ground forces to attack.

"The whole army attacked!"

Dozens of T-34/85 medium tanks, under the cover of three infantry companies, launched an attack on Heights 203.

After they reached the foot of the mountain, the artillery fire began to extend.

More than a dozen sections of covering the flat ground behind Heights 203 were launched, cutting off the passage for Japanese reinforcements to Heights 203.

And at this time the heavy mortar brigades of the heavy artillery division began to appear.

A total of 96 heavy mortars of 160 mm caliber launched intensive shelling on the hillhead and mountainside.

The coordination of infantry artillery tactics is still quite tacit.

"The Chi Na people are coming up, quickly enter the position."

Despite such intensive shelling.

When the attacking forces began to attack the top of the mountain.

A Japanese soldier appeared out of nowhere and launched sporadic counterattacks.

However, their counterattack was met with a fierce counterattack from the tank troops.

Tank guns and tank machine guns covered the charge of three infantry companies.

At the same time, the STG44 smash rifle in the soldier's hand began to sound continuously.

Sporadic Japanese counterattacks did not halt the attack of the three infantry companies in the slightest.

The sky began to hear the screeching of Stuka dive bombers.

Stuka dive bombers and P-47 Thunderbolts dived down from the clouds.

The B-29 strategic bombers were gone, and the second wave of support fighters arrived.

At this time, the little devils who emerged from the tunnel fortifications behind the hillside were attacked by the fierce attack of the fighter group.

Aerial bombs, rockets, and machine-gun bullets were poured into the sky as if they were not paying money.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed out immediately suffered heavy casualties.

In less than ten minutes, the flag of the Northeast Army was planted on the top of the 203 Heights.

Looking at the fluttering flag, Zhang Xueming smiled.

It seems that his own artillery tactics are still very effective.

At a very weak price, it took this 203 Heights Nine, which the Japanese army had spent more than 50,000 casualties to take.
