Chapter 354: Fierce Air Battle
Chongteng Shinya's guess was not wrong, after learning that most of the soldiers in the garrison here were from Taiwan, Huang Weiguo was enraged, and under his order, another regiment of troops joined the battle, and before dark, the Japanese defense line was compressed to two streets in the north of the city, only a hundred meters away from each other, and it was possible to be broken through at any time.
In the evening, with an earth-shattering explosion, an earth-shattering explosion rose from the street north of the city wall, which was so strong that almost the entire street ceased to exist in the explosion, and even the attacking troops who were pressing up their time to attack two streets away were affected.
With this unprecedented explosion, one of the largest Japanese material warehouses in Shitai was blown up, and Shige Shinya and the hundreds of remaining Japanese defenders were also blown up into the western sky with this explosion......
The destruction of the Chongteng Wing not only shocked and angered Kazuichiro Sonobe, but also strengthened his determination to annihilate this Chinese army that dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area, and he not only ordered the 13th Division to rush to Shitai day and night, but also contacted Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro, the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and asked for his help. Upon hearing the news, Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro sent the 60th and 61st Divisions to rush straight towards Shitai, trying to completely wipe out the 347th Division at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi by attacking from both sides.
The commander of the 13th Division, Tanaka Shizuichi, who was connected to several urgent telegrams from Sonobe and Ichiro, did not dare to slack off, urging the troops to hurry up and press towards the stone platform, after all, the gaffe Chongteng Wing had several telegrams for help every day these days and the strict orders of Sonobe Kazuichiro made him dare not slack off in the slightest.
It was Tanaka Shizuichi who urged his troops to keep speeding up and marching towards the stone platform. But I forgot the most basic one, it is not impossible for a large army to dare to march on the road in broad daylight, but there is a premise for this. That is, you have to be careful of the planes in the sky, otherwise once you are discovered by the other party's plane, it will be followed by memories that make people live in nightmares for the rest of their lives......
Just when the 13th Division crossed the Taihu Lake and marched towards Shitai, the nightmare of the 13th Division came, first of all, a group of sudden fighters launched strafing and bombing on the Japanese in batches and batches during the day, and the Japanese troops who were caught off guard were beaten with heavy casualties.
I saw dive bombers lining up in a neat formation to dive and strafe them indiscriminately, and a Japanese soldier who had no time to dodge was hit by a bullet with the thickness of his thumb and was cut into several pieces. The originally neat marching formation became scattered, and then these dive bombers continued to drop bombs on them, and the queue of more than ten kilometers was full of explosions and black smoke rising from their faces.
The angry Japanese army quickly reacted. It's just that when more than 20 Japanese fighters arrived in a hurry, those clumsy dive bombers had already left, and what was waiting for them was ten Wildcat fighters that swooped down from a high altitude.
"Wildcat Seven, watch behind you."
"I can't see him. Where is he. ”
"He's right behind you. Get out of the way...... Block multi-opening...... He's firing at you! ”
"Damn it...... Fuck it, bastard...... Yes! Help me, I was bitten by him. ”
"Guys, the Wildcat squadron is entangled in devils, it's time for us to get on, all of them, dive quickly!"
"Wildcat squadron, this is Tiger Shark squadron, here we are!"
Thousands of meters in the air. Ten F4F Wildcat fighters are engaged in life-and-death battles with more than 20 Japanese Type 1 fighters in the air, although the performance of the Wildcat fighters is much more advanced than that of Type 1 fighters. However, due to the numerical superiority of the Japanese army, they were inextricably killed for a while, but with the arrival of ten Bf-109 fighters of the Tiger Shark squadron, the balance of victory immediately poured towards the Chinese fighters, and in less than ten minutes, the Japanese planes were shot down seven or eight, and the remaining ten or so Japanese planes were also defeated, just as this air battle was about to end, more than 20 Type 97 fighters flew to the east, which was the reinforcements sent by the Fifth Flying Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Hengzhou, and saw that their own reinforcements came, The Japanese plane, who was about to retreat, was suddenly shocked, and immediately rushed over again, and a fierce battle began in the sky again.
"Keep your speed and don't get too close. Tiger Shark squadron, don't fly too close, keep a certain distance! ”
The sound of the pilots of the two squadrons shouting loudly was constantly heard in the headphones, but now no one cared about anyone. Chu Yuan violently pushed the joystick to the right and made a beautiful roll again, and several strings of bright tracer bullets almost grazed the cockpit cover of the plane and flew over.
It seems that the guy behind is really difficult to deal with, this type of fighter has been following Chu closely for about a minute, no matter how Chu Yuan maneuvers and flies, he just can't shake off that tail. That type 1 fighter would open fire as long as there was a chance, and if it weren't for Chu Yuan's quick reaction, he would have almost been hit several times.
At this time, the sky was completely disrupted, and the long planes, wingmen, squads, and squadrons were all scattered. The Chinese and Japanese pilots had forgotten the rules of tactics, and now they were just mechanically maneuvering their planes and attacking the nearest enemy plane. There is no mutual cooperation, and there are no traps, only naked killing, and those who hit the opponent will win, and those who are hit will go to hell.
The battlefield was also completely chaotic, with one fighter plane after another turning into fireballs burning in the air, some falling rapidly to the ground with black smoke, and constantly being shot down and destroyed.
When the battle came to this, the pilots on both sides were already red-eyed at this time. The fierce battle, the scattered wreckage, the exploding fireballs, the fiery tracer bullets, the crazy adrenaline secretion made the pilots too excited to control themselves, and the only thing left in their minds was the ingrained technology, the technology of killing. Almost instinctively, they manipulated the war machines that could fly up and down in the air, and their minds were left with nothing but how to destroy their opponents, and they called out to their companions to take down the lone enemy, and they stared coldly at the target in the aperture with bloodthirsty eyes. Now in the eyes of these pilots, those are just targets, and the ones who fly them are just some goddamn beasts, because he is a part of the beasts himself.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the curtain gradually came to an end, and the exhausted pilots finally dragged their scarred bodies back to their respective airfields...... (To be continued.) )
