Chapter 1579 Retaliation against the Japanese Transport Team
Although the golden eagle fired fiercely at the militants in the woods, it was blind fire and had little effect. The lush forest blocked the golden eagle's vision.
The Japanese squad leader had not expected to encounter such fierce resistance and suffered heavy losses. However, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
At the same time, the First Army's air force also received orders to quickly rush to the battlefield to provide support.
Machine gun shells exploded in the dense woods, blowing away the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the trees.
After the air force bombing, the escort members began to rush into the grove and engage in close combat with the militants.
After a brief and fierce battle, all the militants in the woods were wiped out.
This confrontation ruined the Japanese army's sabotage plan, but more than 30 members of the escort team were killed or wounded.
Leng Feng would definitely not swallow the bitter fruit of having more than 30 soldiers killed or wounded in his own territory, so he immediately began to plan a revenge operation.
The Japanese army had more troops preparing to attack Harbin and needed to raise more ammunition and supplies.
He immediately sent a telegram, asking Secretary Li to use his connections to find out the route of the Japanese transport team.
He named this operation "Aerial Strangulation". It imitated the US military's strangulation of their logistical supply lines during the Korean War. However, due to the shortage of aircraft and ammunition, he could not imitate the US military's indiscriminate bombing this time. He could only carry out limited aerial strangulation based on intelligence.
In order to successfully "strangle the Eighth Route Army from the air", Leng Feng also specially ordered bombers to transport a large amount of ammunition from the tribe to Xinjing Airport.
In order to complete this "air strangulation" mission, Deputy Commander Xu arranged the combat missions of the Xinjing Aviation Force into squadrons.
Secretary Li also assigned a task to each underground communication station in Heilongjiang Province: to scout the Japanese army's supply transport team.
Soon, couriers from various places sent in intelligence one after another.
The New Beijing Air Force, which was on standby, received the intelligence and immediately took off to bomb and strafe the suspicious Japanese convoy.
Although these convoys were not necessarily material transport teams, Deputy Captain Xu bombed them all with the mentality of rather bombing the wrong ones than letting them go.
The Xinjing Air Force's air raid on the Japanese transport team caused great trouble and losses to the Japanese army.
Especially to a Japanese transport team in Jiamusi.
At that time, a Japanese transport team was delivering troops to Jiamusi. When the convoy was driving on a dirt road in the wilderness, it was attacked by an aviation squadron from Xinjing.
Seeing that this was a remote wilderness with no residents, the squadron leader used incendiary bombs.
The squadron leader opened the belly of the cabin and turned on a special switch. A light yellow liquid covered the Japanese transport convoy on the ground like rain.
As soon as the commander of the Japanese convoy saw the planes of the Devil Force, he was about to order the soldiers to disperse and avoid the air raid.
Who knew that the devil's army's planes didn't drop bombs, but instead started to "rain".
The "rain" fell on the commander's face. The commander smelled it and felt something was wrong.
At this time, a incendiary bomb fell from the sky.
Then an explosion sounded, igniting the "rain and fog" that had just fallen.
The entire wilderness was engulfed in a sea of fire.
The soldiers of the Japanese transport team howled and struggled in pain in the sea of fire.
However, all this is in vain.
Then another incendiary bomb exploded, intensifying the flames.
After more than two hours, the fire gradually died down.
