When the German fighter planes bravely rushed to the Japanese fleet, the radar at the southernmost tip of Sakhalin Island alerted the surrounding anti-artillery fire, and a large number of hk23 quad-mounted 13mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns made by Krupp, hk22 dual-mounted 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, hk19 single-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns, hk24 dual-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns and fa1 75mm car anti-aircraft guns made by Ehart Company were also fired near the airports and port transportation hubs on the island. Fa23 semi-tracked armored vehicle with four sets of 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, Gigi arms fg21 mm anti-aircraft guns and fg23 tracked armored vehicle with single set of mm anti-aircraft guns are waiting for Japanese fighters to come. These anti-aircraft weapons are far beyond the Japanese imagination in terms of performance and maneuverability. More importantly, the German defense forces have gradually transported radar technology to the anti-aircraft guns to shoot and guide this battle, which is doomed to be a mystery.

After the German bomber group left, Tokyo continued to burn in tears. Although more than half of the bombs carried by the German bomber group were high-explosive bombs, the destructive power of incendiary bombs was the greatest against the wooden building owner Tokyo. With a large number of high-explosive bombs, the morale of the Japanese military and civilians was hit hard at the beginning of the war
Although the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was not directly bombed, Hirohito and his military and political dignitaries were obviously not in the mood to speak of, but the bad news came one after another in Shikoku and Hokkaido, where the German bomber group bombs also brought great pain to Japanese residents. The number of people who died directly from the bombing was over 34oo, and hundreds of people were killed by the fire. After the bombing, they could return home to tens of millions of people-about an hour later, the battle in Sakhalin Island was over. After the prosecution, Tanaka told the emperor that half of the fighters were shot down on the attack day, but their courage would definitely make the Germans feel timid. In addition, the second wave of fighters were preparing to attack again when the German bomber group returned and landed
Stay for a long time and say four words, "Fight to the death!"
Since then, the "glorious death war" has become a slogan for the Japanese army to boost morale. However, the Japanese army, eager to retaliate, has gradually gone astray in strategy, and the balance of war has never been completely balanced.
Destroy the day Chapter 42 Eastern Army Battlefield
"I can’t believe we really dropped the bomb on the Japanese head and it was Tokyo!"
"And it is extremely easy to fly!"
"I don’t know if the emperor is scared to pee his pants!"
"I’m sure maybe the fire has spread to his palace!"
"The Japanese must be very angry. Oh, those generals must have smelly faces!"
In a Dornier iii engine room, the pilots chatted happily. After dropping all the bombs on the emperor’s head, the German bomber pilots felt as relaxed as their landline. Although they were still flying in Hokkaido, even when the Japanese defense forces were here in Tokyo, it was even less likely that there would be close fire.
Although the casualties were smaller than expected, the destruction of Japanese military targets by German military bombing did not cause psychological blow to Japanese people-hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs caused certain losses to several cities such as Tokyo, Kawasaki, Yokohama and Osaka, and the incendiary bombs and subsequent fires did burn tens of thousands of buildings. The biggest drawback of high-explosive bombing is that the most valuable military targets in these cities are mostly safe and sound.
According to the reconnaissance report of the German army on the second day, the largest arsenals-Tokyo Arsenal and Osaka Arsenal were only attacked by several high-explosive bombs, of which one factory in Tokyo Arsenal was damaged and one was damaged, which can be said to have negligible impact on production, and Osaka Arsenal also lost several auxiliary buildings; Although the main shipyards located along the coast of Tokyo Bay-Tokyo Naval Shipyard, Kawasaki Shipyard and Yokosuga Naval Shipyard were affected by the fire wave, only a few production vehicles were damaged, and several ship bases under construction in the dock were not affected. In addition, the important military targets in the Tokyo Bay area, Nakajima Aircraft Factory and Imperial University, also escaped the initial robbery.
The largest steel base in Japan-Zan Steel Works is one of the main targets of the strategic bombing of the German army, and it is also the defense focus of the Japanese defense forces. In wartime, the Japanese army deployed 200 anti-aircraft guns of various calibers here.
Heavy shelling was carried out on the flying German bomber group, but the dense artillery fire caused the German fleet to have a good target, indicating that dozens of tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs destroyed a small corner of the factory, but it also cost the German army two Dornier iii.
When flying off the edge of Hokkaido, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes for the huge fleet to descend from 10,000 meters and finally land on the ground. When taking off, it takes more than ten minutes. Theoretically, this period is also the best time for Japanese fighters to attack German bombers. In fact, the Japanese not only did this, but also came up with a more vicious method.
"Now the enemy plane is approaching from the rear!"
A bomber radar operator located at the tail of the fleet first showed a low tail on the radar screen, and then the warning of the Japanese fighter plane was sent to the bomber ground forces through the line.
At this time, the military airports in Sakhalin Island are still cleaning up the remnants after the first attack by Japanese planes. Although the Japanese counterattack proved to be not worth the loss, some Japanese bombers succeeded in dropping bombs on the island, and two of them hit the main runway of the German airport in the south of the island. Fortunately, the bombs carried by Japanese planes were limited in power, and the Germans built many standby runways before the war, so it would not affect the landing of bomber groups. In addition, many Japanese planes and German warplanes were shot down in the war and crashed in various parts of Sakhalin Island, which was dry and windy. In winter, the burning debris caused forest fires in several dense forests and crashed near roads, towns, ports and military bases, but it was properly handled. On the day of parachuting and escape, more than 100 pilots, half of them were captured by German patrol forces after landing, while others fled into the mountains under the cover of darkness.
Soon, the Sakhalin Army Command issued instructions to the bombers returning home to hover as high as possible when the fuel allows. The fuel is about to run out and the fighter plane will cover the first landing!
Then, the 6-base fighter plane rose again after hastily replenishing oil and ammunition. Although it faced the invasion of JAL troops for the second time in a row on the same night, Sakhalin Island did not get into trouble because of it. It can be said that the Germans have been nervous and orderly for months, and this is the moment.
On the other hand, the German troops stationed in Vladivostok were attacked by route 6. Although the Russians claimed that the Japanese troops invaded Russia illegally, the Russian troops deployed in the Far East, especially near Vladivostok, did not show any resistance, and even helped the Japanese troops transport troops and equipment privately, which enabled the Japanese army to advance on the defense line of Vladivostok in Germany so quickly.
"regimental headquarters, this is position 16. We were really attacked by a large number of Japanese infantry! Request artillery support! Request artillery support! " Holding a microphone, he anxiously reported to the class that a German junior officer wearing a 26-type helmet was shining a bullet outside the headquarters of this small bunker. Black cannons, guns and shouts were shining hundreds of meters in front of his ears, while shooting and advancing. Japanese soldiers were scattered in the fields and hung on the front end of the rifle. The plaster flag was faintly visible.
"Artillery coordinates 1o121oo5o221 request artillery coverage! Now! Horse! "
Just then, a shell from the Japanese field artillery suddenly landed next to the bunker, and the loud noise almost deafened the German officer’s ears. When he did not take off the dust and picked up the words again, he really couldn’t hear anything now.
"Hey beep … damn it!" The officer turned to a communication soldier wearing a cloth military cap and headphones next to him. "The line is probably blown off. Help me connect the walkie-talkie to the regimental headquarters! Besides, let’s see if we can repair the phone line! These damn Japanese! "
This is a frontier guard position of the German Vladivostok defense line, with infantry positions and anti-shelling bunkers. The fortifications are located at an altitude of 16 meters. On the north side of the hill, there are rugged stones and cliffs. On the southeast and west sides, there are gentle slopes. Although the northern part of the downtown area of Vladivostok is hilly, it is not really mountainous, but it is all hills and hills. Therefore, there are not many frontier guard posts. The Germans have stationed half an infantry company and a 6-base warning radar in this position 16.
Japan’s largest overseas army, Dongjun, has always been known for being tough and unruly. This 6 th Army Corps, which was established after the Russo-Japanese War, is much more aggressive than their company-Japan’s 6 th Army Corps attacked Zhang Lin, led by warlords, and caused the Shenyang Incident to annex the three northeastern provinces on a large scale. They are all outstanding, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Japan’s old main divisions, namely, the first division in Tokyo, the second division in Sendai, the third division in Nagoya, the fifth division in Hiroshima, the seventh division in Sapporo, the tenth division in Hiji, The 16th Division of Kyoto is among them. Although the main force of the Eastern Army was still along the three northeastern provinces and the Great Wall when Germany declared war on Japan, its elite 5th Division, 11th Division and 2nd Tank Brigade have been stationed in Mudanjiang, near the Russian territory, and there is also a large fighter in the 6th Army Aviation Base in Mudanjiang and Yanji.
Vladivostok, the most important naval base in the Far East during the period of tsarist Russia, has gradually become a strong coastal defense fortress since 177. The initial fortifications were completed in 17 years, and then expanded three times in 196, 1900 and 19o4. During the Russo-Japanese War, it was shelled by the 2 nd Fleet of the Japanese United Fleet, but the strong fortifications and a large number of fortress troops eventually failed to capture the surrounding areas of Vladivostok.
After the Russo-Japanese War, the Fortress Vladivostok underwent two large-scale renovations and expansions in 191 battles in 1916 and 1922 in 1926, and finally formed the current huge fortress group of reinforced concrete fortifications. After absorbing the experience of the battle for Lushunkou in 19o419o5, the new fortress body built many bunkers and ground facilities. The concrete ceiling is made of U-shaped steel pipes. A T-shaped beam and asphalt form the side for the fortress capable for withstanding the power for 420 mm artillery shells; and a special artillery bunker is built by concrete. The main fortification for the fortress is that the concrete breast wall is equipped with infantry; the concrete shelter is built on the breast wall for observation; and other garrison troops build special bunkers at the back for the fortress; and all parts for the fortress are built with passages and ditches; mainly for resisting storms.
There are many similarities between Vladivostok and Lushun, a strategic place. After losing Lushun, the Russians lamented that they had lost more than half of the Far East. With the end of the German-Russian war and the handover of Vladivostok, the Russians now have a foothold in the Pacific Ocean. However, whether they inherit the mantle of the Russian empire, democratic Russia or the separatist warlord government in the Far East, the same method flies in Vladivostok against the wishes of the strong.
When the line of sight returned to the position No.16 under German control, the German artillery had already bombarded the designated area, and the Japanese army was scurrying about in the position under heavy artillery bombardment. The German officers and men also continued mortar bombardment and tried to attack the Japanese infantry from the other three sides around the steep north. This tactic successfully delayed the Japanese army’s advance and caused it to pay 100 casualties. However, the limited artillery fire alone completely prevented the Japanese army from attacking the Japanese army, and the Japanese backup troops arrived soon. Their officers then announced to the soldiers that the German attack on Japanese soil had disappeared. Japanese soldiers, who have been influenced by Bushido for a long time, became furious as if they had been drugged. On this cold winter night, Japanese commandos made a charge. These Japanese soldiers, with their heads tied with white cloth strips, simply looked at German artillery shells and shells and swept down a piece of Japanese army, but then more guys with bayonets and red eyes poured in. After 24 years, the Japanese army made a meat bomb attack in Lushun again.
After passing through the fire blockade of the German position, the Japanese commandos advanced from the east and west of the hill to the German radar and warning position at the top of the hill. Although the position at the top of the hill was circular, the threatening Japanese army obviously occupied a numerical advantage. While continuing to call for artillery support and dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army with weapons in their hands, the German officers and men made preparations before the commander led them to retreat.
The radar structure at the top of the mountain is not complicated, but the radar equipment inside is valuable and has very important military significance-it is still more than 2o kilometers away from the downtown area of Vladivostok, which means that under normal circumstances, the radar can attack enemy fighters a few minutes earlier than the radar in the urban area, but it seems short enough to change the situation of a war. Nevertheless, German officers and men have reluctantly placed a lot of explosives here. In William III’s words, the equipment is dead and destroyed and can be rebuilt, but every German soldier is a valuable wave. The life of a soldier is treason with the enemy.
One hour before dawn, the commander at the top of the mountain sent a request for retreat through the line.
"I agree to break through, but I will blow up all the laws, take away equipment and ordnance, and leave a telephone and a rifle to the Japanese!"
Although it seems that this will leave a good observation position and artillery position for the Japanese army, many tactical ideas during the Russo-Japanese War are out of date. If you want to make the artillery fire on those hills, I am afraid you have to ask the German army to dive bombers first.
Before dawn, the German officers and men who were deployed in front of the main position continued to withdraw to their own main position. The Japanese army won the first "victory" in the war at the cost of nearly 2,000 people. Facing the strong fortress and the garrison with unity, the highest commander of the East Army, Okamura Taro, also felt that the Sixth Army must be in another "Lushun fortress" when talking about the next battle.
A large number of troops were lost before, and the results of Qingdao’s offensive and defensive war show that Germany has a well-trained and powerful "White Plus Black Force" in the Far East. Those German African soldiers have shown destructive power in the battle. Today, many Japanese officers and soldiers are still worried about the emperor’s "three-day invasion of Vladivostok" strategic instruction. Okamura Taro thinks this is too reluctant at the time.
Destroy the day Chapter 43 Aircraft cemetery
At the northernmost tip of the Japanese archipelago, a night of fighting and killing finally ended when Lebanon was coming. There were several pieces of aircraft floating on the cold water. At night, it was impossible to tell whether it was silvery white, dark green or silvery gray. Several small ships chugged slowly on the calm sea. If you want to see the white floating objects similar to giant jellyfish, you have to lean over and either save people or collect the bodies.
After a noisy midnight, Sakhalin Island is tired of the military airports on the island, and more than 20,000 German officers and men are tired of guarding the island. After the middle-low battle, the heavy bombers with huge bodies have to return to the ground in a thrilling way. If JAL troops attack again at this time, I am afraid that the losses of the German army will increase a lot. Nevertheless, 35 Dornier iii bombers landed before due to oil and mechanical problems, and they were attacked by Japanese planes in the middle or on the ground, and three of them crashed when they landed in a hurry. There are still 12 seriously damaged aircraft, and most of them suffered some minor injuries. Generally speaking, the Japanese air force’s counterattack has achieved much better results than soil defense, but it has also paid a very heavy price.
After rough statistics, the joint command of the three armed forces of Sakhalin, the German Far East, sent troops to Qingdao and Berlin to report the first results. The German army and the ground defense forces shot down more than 27 Japanese planes, 17 airships injured more than 100 Japanese planes and 2 airships in the surrounding area of Sakhalin, while the party lost a total of 47 fighters and 6 pilots together with bombers. In addition, two coastal radars were bombed and 22 ground defense forces soldiers were killed in the battle.
The Supreme Command of the Three Armies of the Berlin Empire, Germany
"Positions with remarkable results! As expected, this warning radar has made great efforts to establish straight-line contact with radar, fighters of the war headquarters and ground defense forces, which greatly improved our efficiency in preventing war! Originally, according to the performance of our Japanese fighters and the level of pilots, the war damage ratio was 1 to 2 to 1 to 3, and now it has reached 1 to 9! "
General Walter Weaver, chief of the general staff and technical director of the army, said with great interest that it was 10 o’clock in Berlin at this time, but most of the important generals of the six armed forces were still in the high command. Of course, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Kaiser, had not returned to the palace. When William Anderes served in the six armed forces and Princess Sasha was traveling in the East, it was not much different for him to live in the high command and live in the palace. Similarly, important generals like Ollie, ludendorff, Hoffman and Lei Deer were ready to stay in the high command. The biggest advantage of this was that they could receive the
"1 to 9 …" Chen Tian looked up "is a good phenomenon, but we pilots can’t relax! As far as the comprehensive strength of aviation technology is concerned, Japan is far stronger than Russia and the United States! Bombing, we must constantly increase the intensity of bombing their soil and completely bomb the Japanese archipelago back to its original state! "
"The original state? Positions ….. "Aside Ollie some in stitches this statement will be very popular after more than half a century, but I’m afraid it is still very creative in this era.
Chen Tian occasionally jokes with these generals who have close personal relationships and patiently explains, "Without industry and technology, people live a life of farming, fishing and hunting. Isn’t that the original state?"
Most of the generals laughed at home, only one side Feng seeckt said with a serious face
"Positions although this proposal is really popular, I’m afraid it’s very difficult to really implement it! At present, we can bomb the Japanese archipelago bases in Qingdao, Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island.
Vladivostok has already faced a heavy Japanese attack on Sakhalin Island Hokkaido, and the distance is also a great hidden danger. If Qingdao can be the Far East military base, the number of bombers we can make is very limited! "
"How long can Vladivostok stick to it is really unknown, especially in the face of the Japanese sea 6 attack! If the navy can defeat the Japanese joint fleet in World War I and hold Vladivostok, the hope will be greatly increased! " Said ludendorff will look forward to the 66-year-old Admiral Bohr, hoping to get some favorable answers from the top of the navy.
It’s a pity that Marshal Bohr’s calm expression tells everyone that the best time for a decisive battle may not have come yet. At this moment, William Zuxiong, commander of the North Sea Fleet, came to ludendorff’s side. "General, although our Pacific fleet has never been stronger and has battleships, such as Caesar William II, Albert, Bavaria, heavy aircraft carrier Georg and Alsace, the number of Japanese-Japanese joint fleet ships in the Turkish waters is several times that of us, even if we can win naval battles very, very lucky.
Ludendorff turned to look at this dark-skinned and strong "old sailor". He once served as commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, the Baltic Fleet, the Kiel Naval Base and the North Sea Fleet. He can be described as a veteran of the German navy. Soon he will also serve as commander of the allied fleet composed of Germany, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. This fleet is responsible for defeating the Japanese forces stationed in Oceania and assisting the allied Coalition forces to recover Australia and New Zealand’s weight.
"More importantly, our Pacific Fleet has the battleship Caesar William ii and two heavy aircraft carriers equipped with Hawkeye II radar, and the rest of the ships have not yet been modified. It should be said that the biggest weapon of our navy in the Far East at present is General Deng Nici’s submarine force. The island country and Britain have many similarities, and we have to kill their sea transportation lines …" The commander of the German Atlantic Fleet, Ke Haijun, said that his last sentence was even more reserved for people to daydream about the fact that the German Atlantic ship was powerful. The Pacific Expeditionary Force, composed of seven naval divisions, is connecting the Hawaiian Islands and Polynesia Islands in puerto montt, Chile and Sallie Knuckles the Echidna, Mexico. The Japanese Navy stationed in two places will be an opponent to be reckoned with.
