Light attack & observation roles I found this yak 12
Can possibly be fitted with small rockets underwing and maybe gun pods?

Portugal and france used similar planes in africa

Washing Machine Charlie.

Sidenote on the Original Washing Machine Charlie: (Note the date!) The Japanese used to send over a pair of planes to make nightly nuisance bombing missions against Henderson Field. This was to deny the air garrison and the Marines any rest.
 
The yak 18 carried 4 x 50 kg bombs right ?
Can they carry any fragmentation bombs like IL2 carried in ww2 ?

If you mean cassette bombs, no, but dumb iron bombs from hardpoints? Sure, up to the load bearing limits of the hardpoints and of the loft ability of the plane.
