The Northeast Field Army carried out the penetration tactic and wiped out the temporary 22nd division of the Kuomingtang army in the north of Jinzhou. It shocked the Kuomingtang garrison in Jinzhou. Fan Hanjie felt that the main force of the People's Liberation Army was approaching Jinzhou and repeatedly asked for help from the Northeast and Nanjing. On September 24, Wei Lihuang went to Nanjing for a meeting. When he received it, Jiang decided to quickly send planes from Shenyang to the 49th Army to reinforce Jinzhou's defense. On the 26th, Wei Lihuang and Gu Zhutong flew back to Shen Yang. When they passed by Jin Zhou, they sent a telegram to Fan Hanjie." The plan has been decided. Let's start now."
There were two airfields in Jinzhou. One was located in the south of Liushui Castle in Jinbei. It was built during Zhang Xueliang's time. It was 2000 meters long from east to west and 1000 meters wide from north to south. It had not been abandoned for many years. The other was built by the Japanese army in 1940 between Tangzhuangzi and Xiaolingzi in the southwest of Jinzhou. It was 1200 meters long from north to south and 800 meters wide. It had always been controlled by the Jinzhou garrison. Since the winter offensive, the Northeast Chinese army had been divided into three places, and land transportation had been completely cut off. They could only rely on air transportation to transport supplies and materials to Shengyang and Changchun. For this, they had to ask for the help of American transport planes. Jinzhou Airport had nine planes a day, serving as the air transport between Shenyang and Changchun. Therefore, Jinzhou Airport not only directly maintained the defense of Jinzhou area, but also affected the battle situation in the northeast battlefield. The Northeast's "Suppression Chief" had always regarded Jinzhou Airport as a key target. He also encouraged the tank soldiers.
As the outer barriers of Jinzhou were broken through by the People's Liberation Army one by one, in order to strengthen the garrison forces and ensure that Jinzhou was safe, the commander of the "suppression" of Shenyang, Wei Lihuang, decided to transfer two armies from Shenyang to Jinzhou by air as a dying struggle. [TPPeople's Liberation Army launched a general attack.TIF, BBP #][TS(][THT5H][JZ(] People's Liberation Army launched a general attack [JZ)][MT][TS)]
After the Northeast People's Liberation Army headquarters intercepted the news, they immediately sent a message to the 8th column to "block the airport and prevent the enemy from transporting air." The order emphasized that the key to the liberation of Jinzhou was not only to cut off the enemy's reinforcements from land and sea, but also to cut off the enemy's reinforcements from the air. That was why the famous 8th Battalion's command center called. There are two airfields in Jinzhou. Jintun Airport in the eastern suburbs has not been used for several years, and Xiaoling Airport in the western suburbs is still in use. Which airport should be blocked?
"Nonsense!" Liu Yalou was so angry that he flew into a rage." Why do you need to block the useless airport!”
"The enemy is being transported by air!"** He also lost his temper." We've been delayed for two days. We'll issue a notice of criticism to the 8th vertical! Order the 9th column to take control of the airport!”
The enemy planes took advantage of the rare opportunity when the 9th column took over the 8th column to frequently take off and land at Xiaoling Airport in the western suburbs of Jinzhou. Enemy 49th Corps 1 division airlifted to Jinzhou.
On the afternoon of the day the 9th Brigade took over control of the airport, thunder rumbled faintly in the northeast corner of the sky, getting louder and louder. In an instant, more than 50 transport planes circled overhead like a large group of flies and landed on the airport runway without any scruples. The wings of the plane created a wave of air, sending sand and stones flying from the ground. Even the treetops fell to one side. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The cannon of the 9th column was fired at the runway. The enemy plane was falling without knowing the truth. "Whoosh!" The enemy plane that had just landed was blasted into pieces by the 9th column's artillery shells. However, the other enemy planes were still landing regardless of their lives. The artillery shells of the 9th column exploded on the runway, and the five enemy planes were instantly buried in the sea of fire. The remaining enemy mecha wanted to land, but they did not dare to fly down. They could only look at the flames on the ground like they were mourning. They circled in the air and wailed. In the end, the enemy had no choice but to turn around and fly back.
However, the enemy plane was unwilling to give up, and the airborne landing failed. Instead, it airdropped supplies to save its dying fate. The planes came in batches after batches, with 20 to 30 planes in each batch. The parachute carried a large amount of American rice, flour, canned food, biscuits, gasoline, weapons, ammunition... They fell sluggishly. They were like torn rags, white and dusty, blown into pieces by the wind in the sky. Because the enemy planes were too panicked, airdrops often landed on the positions of the People's Liberation Army. The more the enemy airdropped, the happier the soldiers were, saying,""The captain of the transportation team is here with gifts!" "There's no need to give Jiang Jieshi a receipt!”Sometimes, the airdropped supplies would land between the People's Liberation Army and the enemy's position, and even if the enemy were to use firepower to stop them from picking them up. At night, the People's Liberation Army would send out small teams to bring them back in bundles. Sometimes, when supplies landed on the airport, the People's Liberation Army bombarded it with artillery fire and turned it into ashes.
The enemy's air transport plan had gone bankrupt.
It was at this moment that the police called and issued an order to reward the 9th Battalion. At the same time, they criticized the 8th Battalion for delaying the two-day blockade of the airport."When the army is fighting, the military orders should be stricter.”
The pressure on the 8th vertical was huge.
