Chapter 42
At this time, in a corner of a street in Shanghai, veteran military spy Luo Bingqian was gathering information everywhere and reported the names, locations, production conditions and bombing targets of heavy factories in Shanghai to Mao Renfeng.
For example, there were five power plants in Shanghai: Yangshupu Power Plant of Shanghai Electric Company, Zhabei Hydropower Company, Nanshi Huashang Electric Company, Lujiawan French Electric Company, Pudong Electric Company, etc.
A huge conspiracy was brewing.
……
At this time.
In the mayor’s office.
General Chen asked the secretary:”How is it? Has the headquarters responded to the defense force?”
Secretary and staff officer Yang Hucheng said:”It has been replied. General Bang said that a batch of newly developed air defense weapons will be transferred to us to defend the airspace of the Magic City. It will arrive tomorrow night.……”
Anti-aircraft weapons?
Upon hearing this, General Chen looked somewhat unhappy:”Anti-aircraft guns again… It can’t solve the source problem at all. What we want is air force and fighter jets, not anti-aircraft guns.”
When the People’s Liberation Army entered the Magic City, there were two newly formed anti-aircraft artillery regiments and an anti-aircraft machine gun platoon, as well as a radar unit that was completely ineffective.
In addition, most of the officers and soldiers of our anti-aircraft artillery unit came from the infantry, and most of them came from workers and peasants. The level of education is not high.
As a qualified anti-aircraft artillery soldier, you need to master at least algebra and geometry knowledge.
At the same time, some anti-aircraft gunners only used 60 guns during the war years. The 60 guns had only more than 70 parts, large and small, while an ordinary anti-aircraft gun had tens of thousands of parts.
Without good instructors, the soldiers could not master such complex technology for a while.
Therefore, General Chen could only watch the Guo Party Air Force drop bombs wantonly, and even arrogantly fly at low altitudes, using machine guns to shoot pedestrians on the ground. It was really heartbreaking.
For this reason, General Chen did not have a good impression of anti-aircraft guns.
“Immediately call the Central Government and tell them that we need air force and fighter jets… If we don’t have any, we can ask the Russian bear for assistance.……”
“”Yes, Chief!” Yang Hucheng walked down quickly.
Time soon came to February 6, 1950. There were still ten days to the Chinese New Year, and less than three days to the Little New Year in the north.
The citizens of the Magic City began to prepare for the New Year early, and there was already a hint of the New Year in the air.
However.
The Magic City air defense alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill sound of the whistle resounded through the streets and alleys of the ten-mile foreign market.
At this time, 14 bombers and 3 fighters of the Kuomintang Air Force flew over the Magic City.
These fighters included B-25 bombers, P-51 fighters
B-The 25 bomber is a high-wing, twin-tail, twin-engine medium bomber that uses a Wright R-2600 Cyclone piston engine system with a maximum output of 3,400 horsepower.
It has a normal cruising speed of 230 miles per hour and a maximum combat radius of 1,350 miles.
The maximum take-off weight is 35,000 pounds and the maximum bomb load is 3,000 pounds.B-The weapons and equipment of the 25 bomber include 12.7mm machine guns, 75mm cannons, MK18 torpedoes and rockets, etc., which can undertake land and sea combat missions.
At the same time, the crew of the B-25 bomber has 5 or 6 people, who are responsible for driving, navigation, bombing, shooting and other duties.
The P51 fighter responsible for cover first flew on October 26, 1940 and was officially adopted by the US military in December 1941.
As a single-seat, single-engine, single-wing fighter, the maximum speed of the P-51″Mustang” reached 708 kilometers per hour and the range was 2,755 kilometers.
Such performance was first-class among fighters at the time and provided strong support for the US military in air combat.
It was equipped with 4 12.7mm Browning heavy machine guns and 4 7.62mm Browning light machine guns, with powerful firepower, enough to fight any enemy aircraft at the time.
In actual combat, the P-51″Mustang” fighter showed amazing combat effectiveness.
It played a key role in many important battles and won valuable victories for the US military. The most famous battle was John Bull’s”Battle of Britain”.
Its outstanding performance and brilliant record have become a beautiful landscape of the US air force and one of the most famous fighters during World War II.
This time, the bald man dispatched the best fighters and bombers in World War II, which is enough to show his importance to this bombing.
In the flight.
The Kuomintang pilot was arrogantly saying:”Brother, let’s bomb as much as we want. The rabbits have no anti-aircraft weapons… They can’t do anything to us!”
“No, they have anti-aircraft weapons, but they don’t know how to use them. Last time I flew my plane in front of them and strafed them with machine guns, but they didn’t even turn on the safety. It was really funny.……”
“Can a group of rural children operate a weapon like an anti-aircraft gun?”
“He doesn’t look like a prince even when he wears the dragon robe. The country will be at least ten years behind if it is handed over to such an illiterate person.……”
“Let’s go home……”
Ruthless ridicule, ignoring…
They can fly fighters and bombers in the airspace of the rabbits freely, just like going home. They don’t take the PLA seriously at all.
Buzz buzz buzz… fighters fly towards the target.
Beep beep beep… ordinary people listen to this familiar air defense warning sound and subconsciously run to the surrounding shelters.
The busy streets are suddenly in chaos.
“Quick! Report to General Chen, the Guo Party’s plane is coming again”
