Chapter 275: Seizing Air Supremacy in the High Ground (2)

"Yes!" Zhang Fei shouted, and immediately went with Li Yu to meet the devil plane on the Jinjiang Bridge. Xu Da led Zhao Xiaoting to deal with the plane on Huayang Road.

These pilots are all-round pilots, J-20 fighters, Y-8-transport planes, Z-8-helicopters, all of which can be driven, which has won a number of favorable factors for the war.

The battle on the ground is also in full swing, and the water and fire are intolerable.

Wang Yaowu, commander of the 74th Army, reacted very quickly, and he could not solve the air attack on the Jinjiang Bridge by the Japanese air force, so he could only deal with it by the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army. If Huayang loses, the 57th Division will be more auspicious. He knew that Zhang Lingfu's 58th Division was also fighting hard in Zhuguling, and it was impossible to send troops for reinforcements.

Wang Yaowu decisively took out his guard battalion and immediately rushed to the position of the 57th Division to give reinforcements.

At the same time, Wang Yaowu ordered Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division, to immediately transfer one regiment and occupy Huayang within 15 minutes. If you can't get it in 15 minutes, military law will punish you severely!

After Li Tianxia received the order, he immediately dispatched the 51st Division to supplement the regiment, and asked them to throw away all their luggage, including water bottles, and carry only guns and ammunition, and march at high speed to Huayang.

The replenishment regiment immediately set off, and the officers and men carried only the bare minimum of weapons and ammunition.

At this time, Chongmu's four Zero planes had already rushed to the sky over Huayang. Shigeki looked at it, haha...... It's really full of meat, and the team of more than 1,000 people, lined up neatly on the ground, is running towards Huayang.

It's really better to come early than to come at a good time, and Shigeki decisively gave the order: "Attack, attack, attack the Chinese army on the ground-"

The Japanese Zeros, the most advanced first-class aircraft in the world at the time, immediately launched a wave of strafing and bombing at the olive troops on the ground.

The company commander asked the battalion commander, and the battalion commander hurriedly asked the regiment commander: "The enemy plane is coming, do you want to dodge?" ”

The 74th Army was trained in German air defense at that time, and it should immediately take refuge in the event of bombardment and try not to return fire. Because infantry light weapons shoot at the air, they basically have no effect, and can only expose their own targets.

The regiment leader shouted loudly: "What to dodge, or run forward!" ”

The battalion commander pleaded again: "Our formation is too dense, and if we don't dodge, we can only be killed and blown up by enemy planes." The troops wanted to stay alive and asked to take shelter from the enemy's air raids for a while. ”

The regiment commander was also anxious, and scolded loudly: "15 minutes to occupy Huayang, this is an iron order, if you can't run, the whole regiment will be sanctioned." Let the enemy planes bomb it, even if there is the last person left, they will also occupy Huayang. ”

The battalion commander had no choice but to order his troops: "Keep running and advancing, even if you have the last person left, you will also run to Huayang." ”

The team of more than 1,000 people ignored the air raids from the sky and continued to run forward.

The Japanese Zero planes were constantly strafing in the sky, and in such a dense procession, there were almost no bullets, and groups of officers and men were shot and fell to the ground.

The 7.7 mm aviation machine gun bullets of the Japanese aircraft were very powerful, and they were either killed or injured when they were shot. But at this time, how can you take care of this, the comrade-in-arms in front was shot and fell, the national army medical soldiers in the back immediately stopped and bandaged, and the other troops jumped over the body of this comrade who was injured or even killed in battle, and continued to run.

Another 25-kilogram aerial bomb fell, exploded right next to the troops, and dozens of soldiers fell. Continuing to run, his face was covered with blood and sweat, as well as the grooves that were ploughed down by blood and sweat.

The officers and men continued to run and move forward, without slowing down the slightest bit.

The battle has been fought like this, and the completion of the task has become the only goal, and as far as one's own life and death are concerned, it is already secondary.

There was no end to the sky, and Xu Da's J-20 fighters arrived in time to attack the enemy's Zero aircraft.

Two Thunderbolt-8 air-to-air missiles were detached from the J-20 fighter and after forty or fifty meters of free fall, they were automatically ignited. The missile gained life and then flew towards the Japanese Zero at Mach 2.5.

When Shigeki saw it, he shouted badly: "You hateful missiles, I can't afford to provoke and hide!" Why don't you pester me? Oh my God, my Majesty the Emperor, my Amaterasu, what can I do? What can I do? ”

"Boom-" Two sounds, and the two Zero planes in front of them instantly turned into countless fragments, forming two spherical shapes, and bursting out in all directions.

The former is dead, and it's too late to think about them. The question is, what to do with the remaining two fighters? If you continue to resist, you can only end up in a dead end.

At this time, Chongmu's teeth gritted, his eyes widened, and he said loudly to the plane next to him: "Xiaomu, we don't have any good way to do it now." We will follow the strength of the Chinese army, and according to the words of the Chinese, even if we are about to die, we will pull a back. Towards the Chinese army, ducks give—"

Although Xiaomu was young, only 18 years old, he didn't want to die, but he still accepted the order given by the commander with tears in his eyes. If you don't obey the orders of your superiors, you will die if you go back. For the sake of his father and mother, he had no other way but to resolutely obey the orders of his superiors.

After Shigeki finished this order, he took the lead and took the lead towards the supplementary regiment of the 51st Division, lowered the nose of the plane, and rushed down.

The plane rushed down from top to bottom, gaining extremely high speeds, reaching a maximum of 629.7 km/h, or 175 meters per second. A distance of several kilometers is the blink of an eye.

Xu Dagang finished firing the first missile, and was taken aback when he saw the devil's plane rushing down, and the devil's eyes were red -- bad blood, this is going to be desperate. In the unlikely event that the plane crashed into this replenishment regiment on the ground, the fuel of one plane, plus four aerial bombs, would have almost been reimbursed to the regiment.

He was nervously manipulating the display on the plane, and when he wiped it, he didn't wipe the missile sight, but the 30mm cannon sight. It was too late, it was really too late, and the distance was about the same, so he put the Zero on the sight and pressed the shooting button.

"Tom ......"

The 30-mm artillery shells, almost in a straight line, flew towards the oncoming Zero.

The 30mm cannon has a fast rate of fire and excellent accuracy, with less than two dense positions for target dispersion. The gun has a maximum rate of fire of 1,800 rounds per minute and is loaded with 150 spare rounds.

A few shells hit the cockpit of the heavy wood at once.

Chongmu only felt that there was a flash of white light in front of him, flashing countless golden lights, and his eyes couldn't open them immediately. He thought that the big thing was not good, and his time was running out.

The plane had lost its exact course, and like a headless fly, it swayed in the air, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west.

Xu Da was afraid that this plane would harm the army again, so he gave it a few more cannons, and it exploded, turning into countless fragments in the air, and falling down towards the earth one after another. Like the fragments of an airplane, the body of the heavy wood splits into several parts, slowly descending as the fragments of aluminum fall one by one.

Before Shigeki's body was not divided, he still had a sweet dream, at the cost of one of his own planes, let a few tons of fuel and powerful aerial bombs smash this Chinese team of more than 1,000 people, and he would become the eternal pride of the Japanese naval aviation.

But a dream is a dream, and under the blow of Xu Da J-20 fighter, the dream burst like a soap bubble.

Another Xiaomu's Zero plane was also shot down by Zhao Xiaoting's Thunderbolt 8 air-to-air missile.

The air battle on the Jinjiang Bridge has also ended, and the fighters of the second squad have also been wiped out by Zhang Fei and Li Yu's J-20 fighters. However, the Jinjiang Bridge also suffered serious damage, and the stone bridge, which was not too wide, had already been blown up with several large holes, and the infantry could barely pass, and vehicles and stretchers could not pass.

Seeing that this stage of the air battle had ended, Xu Da immediately led the J-20 fighter formation and went back to reload.

The rapid march of the 51st Division's supplementary regiment was not in vain, as soon as they reached Huayang on the front foot, the Japanese army arrived on the back foot, and the difference between the two sides was less than 10 minutes.

The 2nd Battalion of the Supplementary Regiment, which was the first to arrive, encountered the Japanese army head-on, and the two sides exchanged fire fiercely, and the Japanese army also received an order to occupy Huayang, so the battle was also played with its life.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the supplementary regiment did not show weakness at all, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The battle was extremely fierce, but fortunately, the supplementary regiment arrived one step earlier and occupied the advantageous terrain, and this battle had a certain advantage.

The troops of Lieutenant Li Xing, the platoon commander of the machine gun company of the 2nd battalion, were in the front line, and he led the whole platoon to crush several Japanese charges with several machine guns.

After the Japanese army left the corpses on the ground and retreated, they used artillery to fiercely bombard the Huayang Mountain Peak, where the 3rd Battalion was located, and then charged again.

What did the Southern Expeditionary Army do, as long as the Southern Expeditionary Army was there, the Japanese artillery could not be allowed to go berserk.

At the headquarters of the Provisional Southern Expeditionary Army outside Shanggao City, Han Xing had long seen the artillery that was striking the enemy, and it had become the top priority of the campaign. He said to Hou Dashan: "Commander Hou, are your artillery ready?" ”

Hou Dashan straightened his chest and said, "I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for your order?" ”

"Alright," Han Xing said, "you guys get started!" ”

Hou Dashan said loudly: "Yes!" "I'm going to carry out the order right away.

At this time, Han Xing suddenly became very interested in artillery warfare. He said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Commander Liu, you are in charge of the headquarters, and I will go to Hou Dashan's artillery regiment to take a look?" ”

"That's not going to work," Liu objected. "As a commander, I don't do the task of commanding the overall situation, but I have to take care of other people's affairs. What do you call this, this is called leaving your post without permission and interfering with other people's commands. ”

Han Xing also has his own old idea: "There is Xu Da in air combat, you are under the command of Chief of Staff Liu in the infantry, and there is Commander Hou in the artillery." I would like to follow Commander Hou to see how their artillery fought, which was also an important part of the campaign. You'll work hard, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”
