At the observation post of the real airfield, not far from where the fake airfield is located, many commanders and fighters of the Eagle Strike Flying Group were watching the scene of the confrontation between the air defense battalion and the Japanese fighters. When I saw the downed battlefield, I felt the urge to cheer.

Originally, when the Eagle Strike Brigade learned the news, they sent a telegram to Hu Biao asking for battle. As a result, it was obvious that this order to take the initiative to ask for war was rejected by Hu Biao. The reason for this is that the Eagle Strike Brigade does not yet have this strength.

From the day he built the fake airport, Hu Biao had thought about letting the airport be blown up by the Japanese army. If you don't give the little devil a chance to blow it up, I believe that the follow-up bombardment of the little devil will continue. At that time, it will affect the normal production of the factory.

Without Hu Biao's permission, the pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade became observers, and under the leadership of Captain Wu Haotian, they all went to the observation post on the top of the hill where the airport was located to carefully observe the formation of the Japanese army in the air.

Seeing the enemy planes that were constantly being shot down, Wu Haotian also said happily: "Air defense battalion, fight well!" ”

"Definitely! At least seven or eight planes were shot down by them. Even if the little devil has a lot of money and loses so many pilots, I'm afraid it will make them hurt for a while. Listen to the wolf's head, the little devil attaches great importance to pilots? ”

"It's all the same there! Pilots are technical arms, and it is not easy to train a qualified pilot! Because of this, the wolf head kept telling us that if we could not control the plane during the battle, we should parachute as soon as possible to escape. ”

After experiencing the bloody battle in the air over Longzhou before, Wu Haotian and others have also become much more mature. Some of the lessons summed up after the war also made the pilots who participated in the war dare not forget. After all, these experiences and lessons were bought with the blood of comrades-in-arms!

The officers and men of the air defense battalion who were talked about by Wu Haotian and others kept replenishing new ammunition to the empty guns. Waiting for the first batch of Japanese fighters to raid, more than half of the losses returned to the sky in horror, and the remaining Japanese pilots also felt that it was very tricky.

One of the flight squadron leaders even signaled: "No anti-aircraft artillery has been found, whether to let the bombers carry out a high-altitude bombing." As long as they drop their bombs in the valley, we can take advantage of the chaos to attack! ”

After some deliberation, the Japanese pilot finally decided to draw out a few bombers and carry out high-altitude bombing of the valley. Even if the accuracy will be reduced a lot, it should not be a big problem to drop the bomb at the location of the valley.

The Japanese fighter group ended the raid, and the air defense battalion commander continued to use binoculars to observe enemy aircraft at high altitudes. Seeing several bombers floating behind the group, it seemed that they were planning to carry out high-altitude bombing, and the air defense battalion commander quickly reacted.

"Command! Anti-aircraft gunners, immediately enter combat positions. Lock the sky above the valley and wait for my command! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

While the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine gunners were temporarily resting, the anti-aircraft gunners, who had never used their hands before, also entered combat positions one after another. The anti-aircraft artillery in charge was quickly shaken, and according to the arrangement of the air defense battalion commander, the muzzle of the gun was aimed over the valley.

When a few Japanese bombers flew into the airspace over the valley, the commander of the air defense battalion sneered: "Fire!" ”

The huge cannon sound of 'tom tom' soon resounded through the valley, and the Japanese pilot who was at high altitude said with a shocked face: "Not good! It's anti-aircraft artillery! Damn, that's a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun! Baga, these people actually hid a hand! ”

As the dense anti-aircraft artillery soared into the air, the bomber pilots who were about to drop bombs into the valley also soon saw the shells coming straight for the fighters. By the time it accelerated again, the shells had already made close contact with the fighters.

The sound of 'boom boom' explosions sounded, and several Japanese bombers were quickly blown up by volleys. Looking at the Japanese bombers that began to smoke and fall, the pilots of the Eagle Strike Group who were watching the battle couldn't help but cheer.

And the captain Wu Haotian, looking at the place where the bomber crashed, quickly said: "Call the nearby alert troops and ask them to pay close attention to the fallen enemy plane." If a fire is ignited, it should be extinguished as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

It is natural to be happy to shoot down an enemy plane, but at this moment, most of the areas where the fighters fell are located in mountainous areas and dense forests. Once a wildfire is ignited, it must also be extinguished in time. If left unchecked, wildfires could spiral out of control and burn down factories and villages in the forest.

Originally, they hoped that the bombers would create conditions for themselves to attack from the ground, but they did not expect that the anti-aircraft firepower in the valley was far beyond their imagination. Looking at the falling bomber, the Japanese pilots at high altitude also felt extremely tricky.

"Captain, what's next? Did you change the bombing position? ”

"Yaga! With so many fighters lost, how could they give up bombing? Didn't you see that this valley has a lot of warplanes? If you don't rush it to destroy, in the future, we will all have to be cautious when we attack a single squadron! ”

In desperation, the commander of the flight wing quickly changed his strategy and ordered fighter formations to raid the firing points in the valley in groups of two. Take advantage of its superb flight skills and attract anti-aircraft fire in the valley as much as possible.

The same is true of the bomber formation, which no longer pursues the effect of killing a single bomber, but adopts the method of a single bomber to take turns to drop bombs, consume as much firepower as possible of the valley air defense unit, and create opportunities for subsequent bombing.

Even if it does, it may cause more fighters to fall here. But at this point, it was impossible for the Wing Commander to give up the bombing. In his opinion, if this airport is not destroyed, there will be endless troubles in the future.

As the Japanese army adjusted its strike methods, the air defense battalion also found that the little devil's fighters became more difficult to aim. In desperation, the commander of the air defense battalion could only order the air defense fortresses to form a network of crossfire as much as possible to maintain uninterrupted strikes.

In the face of the bombs accidentally dropped by the Japanese bombers, the jungles on both sides of the valley also began to be covered with thick smoke. Seeing this scene, the commander of the air defense battalion suddenly said: "The little devils want to fish in troubled waters, so let's add fire to them." ”

Just when the officer next to him was curious, what the commander of the air defense battalion was going to do. The commander of the air defense battalion called the ground crews in the valley and asked them to create more smoke, which shrouded the entire valley in smoke and confusing the Japanese pilots.

As the valley soon rose with billowing smoke, and after a large amount of smoke rose into the air, the Japanese pilots suddenly realized that they did not dare to fly at low altitudes easily. If you don't have a good line of sight, you can crash into the valley on both sides.

The captain of the flight wing, who commanded the bombing, also said angrily: "Baga! These cunning Shina people! ”

"Captain, what should I do?"

"No way! In this case, the only way to do this is to increase the amount of bombs. As long as the bomb is dropped in the smoke area, it will not blow up the planes of the Chinese people, and it will also blow up the valley to the ground. Bomb, let the bombers form up, increase the intensity of bombing! ”

In the face of the billowing smoke rising from the valley, many anti-aircraft fortresses of the anti-aircraft battalion were also filled with smoke. Under these circumstances, the commander of the air defense battalion immediately ordered them to withdraw from the battle immediately. If you continue to stay, it won't do much.

What's more, the Japanese army began to increase the intensity of bomb dropping, and it was really not easy to guard against this kind of random throwing. Thinking of Hu Biao's confession earlier, even if he didn't think he had fought enough, the air defense battalion commander felt that it was almost enough to fight so far.

When the anti-aircraft forts were prepared for bomb attacks, the firepower of the anti-aircraft battalions also became much smaller in an instant. Seeing the reduction in anti-aircraft fire below, the commander of the Japanese flying wing also seemed very happy and said: "Stupid defenders! ”

The smoke obscured the Japanese pilots, as well as the air defense forces, preventing them from targeting aircraft at high altitudes. In the final analysis, this method is somewhat of a feeling of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!

But for the air defense battalion commander, if the little devils can aim accurately, I am afraid that many of the air defense fortresses built on both sides of the valley will be exposed. And the planes in the valley may also make the little devil think it is fake.

Only in this case, let the little devil blow up the entire valley, and the little devil will believe that the airport in the valley has been destroyed by them. Even if it is not destroyed, after this bombing, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.

In order to convince the little devil that there is a real airfield in the valley, first of all, the air defense battalion must show the illusion of desperately protecting it. Just keep some anti-aircraft firepower so that the little devils don't dare to arbitrarily lower the flight altitude.

The rest of the air defense forces, temporarily withdrawing from the fighting, can also reduce the possible casualties of the air defense battalion. In the face of the aerial bomb dropped by the little devil, if it really falls on the air defense fortress, even if it cannot be blown up, it may also injure the insiders.

This kind of illusion deliberately created by the air defense battalion really made the little devil extremely excited. Seeing that the fire from below had weakened a little, the little devil's bomber also deliberately lowered some altitude and dumped the bombs it carried into the valley.

At this time, the air defense battalion, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, still fired anti-aircraft shells intermittently. In this blind firing situation, it can occasionally hit the hapless bomber, knocking it down completely, leaving it to die in Shillong.

When the bomber formation finished pouring the ammunition it carried, the fighter formation, which was responsible for covering, also realized that it was leaving. It's a pity that the valley is still full of smoke, and no one knows what the specific results of the bombing will be.

Thinking of this, the commander of the flight wing immediately said: "Return first, replenish ammunition and fuel, and then send a reconnaissance plane over to check the situation." If the bombing doesn't work well, let's come back and continue to bomb. Be sure to destroy it completely! ”

"Understood!"

Limited to the amount of fuel they carried, it was not enough to keep them in the air for too long. The Japanese bombing formation, which could not know the results of the bombing for the time being, could only decide to return first. Looking at the fighters in the distance, the pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade who were watching the battle were somewhat eager to try.

"Captain, if we attack at this time, we should be able to leave most of the enemy planes behind, right?"

"And what's next? Next, our airport will be exposed, and then the little devils will send a steady stream of fighters to bomb it. Bear with me! Our strength is not enough to fully confront the air force of the little devils! ”

If it wants to build a flying group that can compete with the Japanese army for air supremacy, the Eagle Strike Group still has a long way to go. What's more, Wu Haotian had already learned from Hu Biao that the little devil had a new fighter that was about to be installed in the army.

The little devil air force, which has been replaced with a new type of fighter, will become more difficult to deal with when the time comes. This also means that if the Eagle Strike Brigade wants to fly in the sky with real peace of mind, it really needs to wait patiently!
