Chapter 350: Spiritual Battle

This really hurt the Japanese army.

The Japanese army has always been known for slamming the door, especially like to "give up people and give up weapons", and the sense of revenge is particularly strong, and was actually killed by the Chinese fighter more than 20 heavy artillery, this is not to their lives, in a fit of anger, Tohihara Kenji ordered the Japanese fighters, and taught the defenders and air force of China a hard lesson.

Due to the fact that there are obviously fewer fighters in the Huaxia.

In order to ensure the victory of the air battle, even the bomber group that had originally set out from Beiping to support the Cangzhou operation also joined the air operation against Shijiazhuang one by one.

In the end, the number of Japanese fighters reached more than 170, of which about 50 were Type 97 army fighters, and the rest were bombers of various types.

I don't know if there is something wrong with the air finger center of the Japanese army.

More than 170 Japanese planes were chaotic like a chicken's nest, and the various air clusters did not seem to buy it very much, and there was no superiority in forming a joint force at all, but a group in the east and a group in the west, and a good air battle turned into a tactic of adding fuel.

Huaxia has only 40 fighters, but they can fight alternately.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, the first Japanese planes to arrive in the sky over Shijiazhuang turned out to be a group of bombers.

There were only more than 10 Huaxia fighters in the air, and there were 38 enemy planes, all of which were Type 93 heavy bombers.

Perhaps the Japanese army was too superstitious about the propaganda of its own people - the Imperial Army was invincible.

The Japanese bomber group did not even notice that these more than a dozen fighters were actually the Flying Leopard II fighters that the navy feared, instead of the clouded leopard fighters that were common on the Shanxi battlefield, and what was even worse was that these fighters also had special skills, and all of them were equipped with rockets.

Rockets, fighting fighters known for their dexterity, I'm afraid it's a little okay, but when it comes to fighting bomber groups, it's like a magic weapon.

As soon as the two planes looked at each other, they saw 120 rockets fired out in an instant, and they quickly burrowed into the Japanese planes with long exhaust gases.

The Japanese also knew that it was not good, and it was probably the first time they encountered an air-launched rocket, and they could not think of any way for a while, even if they wanted to evade it by dispersing the formation, they were afraid that they would not be able to do it, because they had never expected that such a situation would occur in an air battle.

Even if you want to disperse in a hurry, the Japanese machine can't make it happen to your own people first.

Before World War II, when the air forces of each other were engaged in war, they all relied on the visual air combat of the pilots, and the air combat distance was relatively close, so the criss-crossing rockets only took more than ten seconds from launching to approaching the vicinity of the enemy planes, and the Japanese aircraft group was quickly caught by the rockets.

Because it was the first battle of rockets, the effect was surprisingly good, often as long as one or two hits, the enemy plane would catch fire and burn, or disintegrate and explode, and in just a few seconds, more than 10 Japanese planes were shot down, and the sky over Shijiazhuang was full of smoke and shrapnel.

In an instant, a third of them were killed, which simply subverted the cognition of the Japanese pilots, and they were immediately frightened, and the remaining bombers fled one after another, and they didn't even have time to drop the bombshells, their speed was too slow, and they were soon caught up by the flying leopards and sent off by the machine guns.

At 9:28, the second wave of the Japanese army arrived, this time it was all 97-type land battles, and there were more than 30 planes, just with a new round of flying leopard planes.

Or do it according to the old rules, and all the rockets will be fired as soon as you look at your face.

This time, the effect was much worse, more than 100 rockets, only seven or eight Japanese planes were shot down, but fortunately, the formation of enemy planes had been disrupted, and the rest was time to chase and fight with dogs.

The Type 97 Marine War was not equipped with a cannon, and the 7.7 mm machine gun equipped with it had relatively limited lethality, and its trajectory in the air turned out to be a parabola, which was later ridiculed by the Allied Air Force as an "air urinal", so even if it occasionally hit the Flying Leopard, it was only a disturbing itch, unless it was particularly bad luck and was hit by a fuel tank or a pilot or something, it would be killed with one shot.

In less than 10 minutes of the battle, the Japanese planes were shot down by more than a dozen Flying Leopard fighters, and the remaining enemy planes fled one after another, ignoring the follow-up friendly forces.

In this air battle, the Flying Leopard fighters also suffered casualties, two were shot down, three were seriously injured, and five or six were shaved a little.

One of the pilots who parachuted was rescued, and the other fell into the Japanese position.

Liu Yun can't take care of these for the time being, he is also out of the box this time, he has already installed an air defense radar on the nearby high mountains, and he also knows that the Japanese aircraft are menacing, in order to allow the pilot to continue to fight, it is still no problem for one person to have three primary treatment fluids, and theoretically he can take turns to fight three times.

The truth is far more brutal than it might be.

When the fifth wave of enemy planes attacked, only five fighters in the entire Huangjiayu airfield were able to take to the air for combat.

In desperation, Liu Yun had no choice but to participate in the battle in person.

This guy never likes to take unnecessary risks, so after merging the Phantom Mech with a battered Flying Leopard to form a new Leopard fighter, he then personally led the team to face the enemy plane.

The fifth wave of enemy planes, the last of the Japanese troops, numbered about 40 fighters, a mixed force of fighters and bombers, but they already knew about the existence of rockets, so after being fired by a burst of rockets, only one bomber was shot down.

However, Major General Liu did not take part in this fire-gathering operation, but took advantage of the disruption of the enemy plane formation, took the initiative to drill into the enemy's aircraft group, and fought with the enemy plane with bayonets.

Seeing that the Huaxia Air Force was so desperate, the Japanese aircraft group was also chaotic, because they were afraid of each other's accidental injury, so they did not dare to fire at all, but Liu Yicheng relied on the protection of ant robots and the flexibility of the mecha to act recklessly in the enemy's aircraft group.

The most exaggerated thing is that through the precise calculation of the brain, within a few seconds of interlacing each other, Major General Liu shot out all the rockets, and they hit one by one, and none of them missed.

He himself was not idle, and also shot down an enemy plane with a cannon.

Therefore, in just over ten seconds, as many as seven Japanese planes fell, and now the Japanese pilots were really afraid, where are they still people, and they are clearly a devil, so they have avoided the devil fighters and tried their best to fight with other flying leopard fighters.

If you are really targeted by the devil's fighter plane, you should quickly flee to the outer circle.

It will be interesting to see if the Devil fighters will come to chase it, or whether they will continue to stay on the battlefield and maintain their air supremacy.

In the face of such a rogue tactic, even if Major General Liu is really the devil incarnate, he can't do anything for the time being, but fortunately, the Japanese fighters are famous for their short legs, so another meaning is that "the fighters' stay time in the air is short", so he decided to simply spend time with the enemy planes.

He thought very well, as long as he watched the Japanese bombers kill and did not let them drop their bombs accurately, then there would be a chance to shoot them all down here.

The Japanese pilots were not stupid, and after more than ten minutes, although they were all shot down by a few of them, they also guessed the intention of the devil fighters, and they had an intuition that if they were dragged for a few more minutes, the Huaxia backup fighters would arrive, so they were ready to return.

The bombers didn't care much, and they didn't care whether the ground was a Japanese position, a Chinese position, or an open field and a field, and they just threw it down in a row.

I don't know if Amaterasu is asleep, I'm sorry, most of the bombs were thrown on the Japanese positions, because most of the Japanese positions were in the open space, and the Chinese troops were all in the city, so the bombs thrown down were unreasonable if they didn't blow up the Japanese army.

However, a few bombs that were accidentally exploded could not blow up the bushido spirit of the Imperial Japanese Army.

But today's air battle really frightened the Japanese army, who always believed that they were the greatest samurai, who had a fearless spirit of sacrifice, just like the national anthem they sang, "Rush to the mountains, let the corpses pile up the mountains, rush to the sea, let the corpses fill the sea."

However, after collectively watching the air battle, the Japanese army realized that it was completely wrong, and the sacrifice spirit of the Huaxia Air Force was even better than that of these samurai.

Huaxia obviously only has a few dozen fighter planes, but regardless of their personal life and death and safety, they stubbornly defeated nearly 200 enemy planes, how fearless and brave this is, whether they can conquer such a brave nation, they really have no bottom, should this war of aggression really be fought?

Kenji Dohihara is a professional soldier, and in his eyes, ordinary Japanese soldiers are groups of abstract numbers, and tools that allow him to achieve victory and destroy the enemy.

Therefore, he didn't feel any interest in the real thoughts of ordinary Japanese soldiers at all, let alone wanted to know how tragic this air battle was, but he had a keen insight into one point, the Huaxia Air Force had been exhausted, and it was a good time to capture Zhengding County.

When the Japanese army's heavy artillery cluster began to speak again, Tohihara also showed his killer weapon, which was two 240 mm caliber mortars.

This thing weighs about 30 tons, and with the current technology of the Japanese army, it is impossible to transport it by road, so it has to be placed on a special train, which is used as the Japanese army's version of the train gun, with a range of more than 20 kilometers, a shell weighs nearly 200 kilograms, and the rate of fire is 30 rounds per hour.

But with a slight advantage, 240-mm mortars were especially suitable for the destruction of permanent fortifications.

Just listen to the sound of "knock".

The roar of the mortar cannon when it was fired made the Cihe River stunned.

When the shells fell near Zhengding County, the loud sound made the entire Zhengding County tremble, and there was a scene of the coming of the end, so that the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division defending in the city also shook or fluctuated one after another, and their faces turned white, knowing that the Zhengding defense battle, I am afraid that it was more than auspicious, and they had to whisper to the Buddha, and life and death were up to the sky.

Let his city walls be strong and majestic, let his fortifications stand and hide, under the alternating bombardment of two mortar cannons, in less than half an hour, on the north wall of Zhengding County, there are several large gaps, along with some hidden hidden forts are also affected, and the soldiers of the 122nd Division have suffered heavy losses.

As soon as the mortar was fired, Liu Yun, who was resting at the airport, had already received the news.

However, this kind of super-heavy artillery is not something that one or two planes can do at all, not to mention that the Japanese army is not stupid, and a large amount of anti-aircraft fire should be deployed near these two mortars, so unless dozens of Flying Bear bombers are dispatched, there is no way to take it.

In order to find out the specific situation of the enemy's mortars, Major General Liu had no choice but to take off again in the air, and with him there were five or six wingmen.

These fighters are the last combat planes in the entire Huangjiayu airport, if there is any more accident, the fighter brigade in Shijiazhuang, even if the whole army is wiped out, but in order to find out the deployment of the Japanese army's heavy artillery, and then destroy them, everyone has to make one last effort.

In the face of the harassment of a few fighters, the Japanese artillery did not care at all, and there were still dozens of antiaircraft guns in the two dignified heavy artillery brigades, and if a few fighters dared to attack the mortars, they had to have the consciousness that the whole army would be annihilated, not to mention that a little machine gun fire or a few small bombs could not hurt the train guns at all, and the train guns have always been known for their thick armor.

However, the Japanese were also afraid of detonating the ammunition, so they stopped temporarily.

After circling for a while, six or seven fighters carefully wedged into the dead corners of many antiaircraft guns, and then instantly fired all the rockets at the ammunition depot of the mortars, which immediately caused a big explosion, and the surrounding Japanese troops were frightened.

The big explosion was supposed to cause a chain reaction and completely blow up the hateful mortars, but unfortunately, the consciousness of the devil soldiers was too high, and they used their bodies to suppress the flammable and explosives, and in the end, many soldiers were burned alive by the flames, but the two huge mortars were unharmed.

When Liu Yicheng saw this scene through the "eyes" of Zhi Brain, he had no choice but to admit it, but Zhi Brain also told him a good news that it had scanned the specific coordinates of the Japanese heavy artillery positions one by one, including the extremely murderous 240 mm mortar.

And the specific location of the two mortars is not close or far, just located in the South Railway Station of Xinle County, which is less than 20 kilometers away from Zhengding County.

Liu Yun's heart moved, and let Zhi Brain recheck the coordinates.

Focusing on the calculation of the straight-line distance between the heavy artillery positions on the south bank of the Hutuo River and the Japanese mortar positions, as expected, if the air compressed concave shells were used, the effective firing range of the 152 mm heavy guns would be as high as 35 kilometers, which was enough to cover this area.
