    It should be said that the skills of the artillery staff of the Kwantung Army are still very good. Indeed, the artillery shells that landed on the Jiamusi Airport were captured by Du Kaishan when he swept through Yilan.  Fired by a 150mm gun.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    And just as they said, there is indeed a small reconnaissance force sent by Yang Zhen around Jiamusi Airport to provide calibration for artillery fire.  After discovering that the Japanese troops in the south of the Yangtze River had made unusual movements and began large-scale assembly and mobilization, Yang Zhen divided the reconnaissance battalions into platoon-level units and entered Tongjiang, Fujin, Yilan, Jiamusi, Boli and other areas to carry out operations.  Tactical reconnaissance.

    After learning of the reconnaissance force's report that a large number of Japanese aviation aircraft had gathered at Jiamusi Airport, Yang Zhen immediately decided to personally lead the team under the direct control of Artillery Regiment Deputy Commander Ma Qichang, using Du Kaishan's two guns captured from Yilan with a range of up to 18 kilometers.  The Japanese anti-aircraft cannon launched a fire strike on Jiamusi Airport.

    The two Japanese-style field cannons, which went through a lot of effort and were secretly moved to a hidden position on the other side of Jiamusi City under the noses of the Japanese army, used the maximum charge and rained down on Jiamusi Airport within thirty minutes.  More than a hundred rounds of artillery shells.

    Although the artillerymen who used this kind of artillery for the first time were extremely unfamiliar with this kind of artillery, under the guidance of the scouts hidden on the other side of the river, 80% of the artillery shells landed on the target.  The airport is a huge target. As long as it is guided well, it won't be too outrageous.

    Yang Zhen didn't know much about the impact of this shelling. He hoped that the shelling would have a deterrent effect on the Japanese army rather than an actual combat effect. It wasn't until he received the report that Yang Zhen learned about his sudden attack.  The decision to bombard would have such a big effect.

    When the report was received, Yang Zhen was in Luobei.  The first was to select an office location for the Northeast Bureau and inspect the defense, and the second was to inspect a Japanese bomber that had made an emergency landing at the original Japanese field airport in Luobei the previous afternoon.

    And this Japanese bomber that landed in Luobei due to wandering was equipped by the Twelfth Air Force, which was captured by General Umezu Yoshijiro. Because the range is far longer than the Type 93 bomber with a combat radius of only 400 kilometers, it has a long endurance.  One of the two Italian bombers that Huang He had just sent out for reconnaissance, but Huang He never returned.

    In fact, he accompanied General Umezu Yoshijiro to Jiamusi. Lieutenant General Teramoto Kumaichi, the commander of the Kwantung Army¡¯s Second Flying Group, who was responsible for commanding the entire aviation operations of this battle, did not agree with sending these thin-skinned and bulky Italian-made bombers for reconnaissance.  It is recommended to send Type 97 or Type 98 reconnaissance planes there.

    But helplessly, General Umezu Yoshijiro believed that he needed not only tactical intelligence, but also strategic intelligence.  Especially the location of the opponent's arsenal, and whether this bandit had contacted Jiangbei through Heilongjiang to obtain Jiangbei's material and equipment assistance.  Insisted on sending bombers with long legs.

    Whether it is a Type 97 reconnaissance aircraft or a Type 98 reconnaissance aircraft, although its performance is good, its range is not small.  But it was no match for these leggy Italian-made bombers.  Large-scale, long-term reconnaissance requires an aircraft that can stay in the air as long as possible, rather than an aircraft that simply flies fast.

    As for the Type 97 heavy bomber with better performance, General Umezu Yoshijiro had already ordered the bombs to be installed.  Once the intelligence is transmitted back, it will immediately take off to bomb the reconnaissance targets.  The Kwantung Army has occupied Northeast China for more than eight years, although the location of the opponent's arsenal has not yet been found.  However, it still knows several usable riverside docks within its control area.

    ¡°However, in order to prevent the war in Nomonhan from gradually calming down from being heated up again by his own bombing, General Umezu Yoshijiro had already prepared an excuse for the accidental bombing.  Because he had never thought about bombing during the day, and he planned to bomb all the docks in Jiangbei that could be used for unloading and loading goods.  To completely cut off, at least temporarily, the other party's external contact.

    So as soon as the runway that was washed away in the flood was repaired enough to take off and land aircraft, he ordered the 98th Squadron equipped with Type 97 bombers to be ready to take off for bombing at any time.  This is also the reason why Japanese aircraft suffered heavy losses in Yang Zhen's shelling.

    Except for a large amount of bombs and gasoline, it was never thought that an opponent without a plane would have the strength to launch an air strike against itself.  We never thought that the opponent could hit the airport more than ten kilometers away from the river with heavy artillery, so we didn¡¯t think about air defense and anti-artillery, but just piled them on the edge of the airport and covered them with tarpaulin without taking any measures.

    These Type 97 bombers, fully fueled and loaded with bombs, were neatly arranged in a corner of the airport and ready to take off at any time. The Type 97 bombers, which had the typical thin-skinned characteristics of Japanese aircraft, almost turned into an extra-large explosive pack under the bombardment.  .  One was hit, causing a chainThe reaction was that all the planes of a team were cancelled.

    The culprit that caused an entire fleet of Type 97 heavy bombers to be blown up was the almost intact Italian-made BR-20 bomber that was displayed in front of Yang Zhen at this moment.

    It was because the two bombers sent out for reconnaissance disappeared without a trace, could not take off due to the delay in getting the information, and because the General ordered to be ready at all times, the Type 97 bomber was in bad luck.

    The stray plane in front of Yang Zhen was one of the two planes sent out for reconnaissance. As for why it landed here, we will have to wait for the interrogation pilot's confession to be known.  It is estimated that these guys hovered for too long and couldn't find the way they came. They got lost and mistook Luobei Airport for the field airports built by the Japanese army all over almost the entire Northeast.

    Looking at the almost intact BR-20 bomber in front of him, Yang Zhen took a deep breath.  I don't have a pilot on hand, so I can at least make use of this plane.  For example, a single machine broke in and caused some trouble for the Japanese army.

    When Wang Xiaoming, the political commissar of the First Division who came with him for inspection, asked whether this plane, which was of almost no value to him, had been blown up, Yang Zhen shook his head: "Drag this plane to a hidden place and disguise it.  We need to trade this plane with Jiangbei. If we don¡¯t need it, someone will want it.¡±

    According to Yang Zhen¡¯s later understanding, this kind of aircraft once competed with the Soviet I-5 fighter jets during the Spanish Civil War not long ago.  Because it is faster than this fighter, which is still the main force of the Soviet army, there is no loss.  Presumably Jiangbei will be very interested in this kind of bomber that performed extremely well in the Spanish Civil War.  This plane should fetch a good price in Jiangbei.

    As expected, it was not what Yang Zhen expected.  After receiving the information that Yang Zhen had captured a complete BR-20 bomber, the aviation force of the Soviet Far East Military Region dispatched several aviation experts and the best pilots as quickly as possible.  The leader of the team was Lieutenant Colonel Kovalev, an old acquaintance of Yang Zhen.

    Of course, when acquaintances meet, they will inevitably have a moment of intimacy.  It's just that after being intimate, you should make the same calculations as the other person during negotiations.  It has not been reduced by half because of meeting old acquaintances.  According to Kovalev, this plane was discounted as part of the previous aid supplies.  However, Yang Zhen insisted on using the single-base propellant used in the Mosin-Nagant rifle ammunition to pay the bill.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s meaning is very simple.  Nowadays, the Japanese troops in Songhua Jiangnan are mobilized frequently, and a big war is imminent.  He is making every effort to increase the production of 107mm rocket launchers and artillery shells.  As for the large amount of propellant required to produce rockets, its current output is very limited.  When the inventory has dropped to a dangerous level, it is not suitable to use the inventory for mass production.  Jiangbei wants this plane, okay.  Get the propellant in exchange.

    "But Jiangbei does not intend to pay a dime for this aircraft, not even for supplies.  From Jiangbei's point of view, Yang Zhen still owed him 10,000 tons of grain, so why did he have to pay cash to buy this plane that the Chinese comrades almost picked up?

    Looking at Yang Zhen, who opened his mouth wide and asked for five tons of propellant, Kovalev shook his shoulders and said: "Dear Comrade Yang, don't you think this behavior of yours is a rip-off in Chinese terms?  What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a rip off of the great Soviets who have given you selfless help.¡±

    "I must tell you seriously that as friends and brothers, our two parties must help each other, rather than one party making endless unilateral demands for the other. The Soviets, out of international obligations, risked an all-out war between Japan and the Soviet Union.  Despite the danger, we have provided you with a large amount of much-needed equipment and supplies.¡±

    "Even at the risk of weakening the combat effectiveness of the Far East Military Region, since the equipment you require is difficult to produce at the moment, we will extract the Deshka anti-aircraft machine guns and 120mm mortars you need from the active forces.  . Are you prepared to repay the great Soviet Union by blackmailing us with such an aircraft that has almost no use value to you? "

    "We have helped you build an almost complete arsenal, and the Far East Military Region has also given away a large amount of supplies. Only food has been sold to you by barter at an extremely good price, half the international price.  Thousands of tons. But so far you have not given us a ton of the ore we need, but only less than a thousand tons of coal.¡±

    "How can you still make such a concession to the great Soviet Union when you are extremely dishonest and have only paid less than 10% of the payment for our food and other supplies that have been delivered for more than half a month?"  Intolerable demands? How did you come up with the five-ton propellant for Mosin-Nagant rifle ammunition? Do you really not want to work with the great Soviet Union in the future?Got any supplies?  "

    ¡°Obviously, Kovalev was very dissatisfied with Yang Zhen¡¯s persistence.  The last tone even took on a threatening tone.  He believed that Yang Zhen was consciously blackmailing the great Soviet.

    Regarding Kovalev's dissatisfaction, Yang Zhen imitated him and shrugged his shoulders: "Dear Comrade Kovalev, I am not blackmailing our fraternal parties. I think the great Soviet intelligence agency's keen sense of smell will not fail to detect it.  The Japanese army is now mobilizing troops and preparing to launch a large-scale offensive against our army, right?¡±

    "Our current arsenal has just been put into operation for less than two months, and the production capacity is still very low. Especially for smokeless gunpowder, which is relatively difficult to produce, the yield is very low. And we are in urgent need of a large number of rocket shells, so we are now  What is most needed is a single-base propellant that can be used as a rocket propellant.¡±

    "To be honest, I am willing to give this aircraft to the great Soviet Union for free for testing in order to improve the great Soviet air combat capability, but we do not have the capital now. As for the issue of paying for the previous material costs you mentioned, Science and Technology  Comrade Valev, we have done our best.¡±

    "In order to cope with the evil Japanese fascist threat, we can only recruit a large number of soldiers among the miners, making the number of coal miners in Heli area less than one-third of the previous number. Coupled with the serious lack of technical personnel,  The decline in coal production is inevitable."

    "Coupled with the severe lack of transportation, we can only use extremely slow animal transportation, so these one thousand tons of coal are already our production limit. In order to meet the great Soviet demand, we even use only one in the arsenal power plant  Set up coal-fired units to save precious coal to meet the requirements of the great Soviet Union.¡±

    "But I can assure you that if the great Soviet Union can provide some transportation, we will guarantee to provide the 20,000 tons of coal required by the contract before winter. If the Soviet Union has problems in this regard, we will provide it before the beginning of next spring.  Complete the contract."

    Hearing Yang Zhen¡¯s words, Kovalev¡¯s lungs almost exploded with anger.  Isn't this naked blackmail?  How can anyone do this?  It was the guy in front of me who proposed exchanging coal that was urgently needed in the Far East for grain and other supplies. After the great Soviet Union completed the contract unilaterally, this guy found various reasons to delay the supply, and even had to do it himself.  Transportation is provided.  This is simply unreasonable.

    Who is Kovalev?  He is the head of the Intelligence Department of the Soviet General Staff in the Far East Military Region. Although his internal intelligence is not as sensitive as the guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is better at external intelligence.  Although I cannot fully understand the internal situation of Yang Zhen's army, I am not as ignorant as the Kwantung Army.

    Seeing Yang Zhen acting like a scoundrel, Kovalev was so angry: "Does this guy really think he is worth two hundred and fifty? Or does he think the great Soviet is a bank that they can embody at any time? Why don't we expose some of this guy's background?"  , this guy is still playing tricks on himself.¡±

    Kovalev, who decided to reveal some of Yang Zhen's old tricks, cleared his throat and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, you don't seem to be lacking in transportation. As far as I know, you have at least more than a hundred captured Japanese trucks on hand.  "With the present size of your forces there is no need for cars from the Great Soviet."

    "As far as I know, when you welcomed the central delegation of your party, you drove out more than 20 trucks at once. Don't forget that I was on this convoy when I was about to return to the country. So, right?  It¡¯s still clear whether you have the necessary means of transportation.¡±

    After saying that, Kovalev, who thought he had exposed Yang Zhen's background, winked at Yang Zhen in a considerate manner.  The meaning is obvious. Those lies of yours can be fooled by others, but you are still far behind in fooling me.  You really think I don¡¯t know anything.
