The two sneak attacks launched by the Wolf Warriors in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, although the number of killed and injured little devils was not large. But the blow to the morale of the little devils is undoubtedly very huge.

After some tossing, looking at the temporary camp on both sides, the little devil was still in the mood to rest. Before coming to Davao, many little devils thought it was a one-sided battle, but now it seems that it is true.

It's just that the side that fell was not the Xinghua Army, but they who had a division!

The sound of the battle outside Davao City naturally touched the hearts of the aircraft carrier formation. As the rain gradually subsided, the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet also ordered the warships to move as far forward as possible to give more confidence to the infantry on shore.

As long as the aircraft carrier formation is here, it can ensure that the Japanese divisions and regiments that have landed have no worries. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the destroyers of the aircraft carrier formation, which are responsible for patrolling and guarding the perimeter, also carry out uninterrupted patrols.

After all, the previous attack on the Japanese fleet here is enough to show that there is a submarine formation of the US military hiding in the vicinity. What's more, according to the information they had earlier, the US submarine was transferred ahead of schedule before they captured Luzon.

According to some of the interrogated U.S. troops, the most likely hiding place for that submarine group was on this side of Mindanao. As for where the base of the submarine formation is, these American prisoners also said that they do not know.

With such information, the Japanese aircraft carrier group staying in the sea of Davao Harbor naturally had to be more cautious. Compared with the periscope that is easier to spot before a submarine attack during the day, it is undoubtedly a little more difficult to spot a sneak attack submarine at night.

For the aircraft carrier group and infantry divisions that came to attack Davao this time, they all knew that the first night was the most dangerous. Until the harbor is cleared, the fleet cruising on the sea may be attacked at any time.

Similarly, before a solid fortification was established, the landing infantry divisions also needed to be careful of the counterattack of the Xinghua army. And it turned out that their fears were normal, and the Xinghua army decisively counterattacked them at night.

Even if there were two counterattacks, they did not bring much damage to the infantry division. However, the casualties of nearly 1,000 people, coupled with the blow of low morale, still made the Japanese division commander very angry and helpless, knowing that it was difficult to make a difference today.

The only thing that can be done may be to clear Davao City, which has become a ruin as soon as possible, but can still be used as a garrison. Compared with being stationed in an open field outside the city, the commander of the infantry division felt that it might be safer to live in the city.

When the Japanese began to look forward to the dawn of time, it would make them feel safer. Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in the depths of the jungle, also did not rest all night, and walked out of the headquarters from time to time to look at the sky above his head.

Feeling the rain that gradually decreased until it stopped completely, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said: "Send a report to the Second Air Force Brigade, and order it to be dispatched after dawn and fly to Davao to prepare to participate in the next Air Force raid battle!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"By the way, if the weather does not allow it, the combat mission can be canceled. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the base camp. After the planes take off in formation, try to adopt the method of high-altitude flight and concealment.

As soon as the formation arrives near Davao, a telegram will be sent informing you that I will give specific and corresponding orders for attack. At the same time, he called a large group of the Air Force and ordered a large group of fighters to start loading weapons and ammunition and be ready to take off at any time! ”

In Zhao Tiehu's view, yesterday's battle and last night's toss believe that for the Japanese navy and infantry attacking Davao, I am afraid that they will be a little tired. In this case, even if their fighters take off, it will not be too early.

After all, in Mindanao, where it has rained, there will be fog in many places. In this case, the role of the fighter in the air is also not great. But for Zhao Tiehu, he felt that he had a great chance of winning by using two air force brigades to fight the Japanese army.

If we can blow up those carrier-based planes on the aircraft carrier before the Japanese aircraft carrier fighters take off, I believe that the fighters dispatched by the two air force groups will be enough to completely destroy the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet cruising in the Davao harbor at this moment.

After solving this aircraft carrier fleet, the Japanese infantry division that completed the landing this time is believed to be unable to resist for too long. Even if the Japanese troops stationed on Luzon Island rushed to support, it was believed that this time difference would be enough for the two air groups to withdraw from the battle.

Received a telegram from the base camp that the 2nd Air Force Group in Borneo, although it had not been formed for a long time. However, these pilots are all relatively skilled pilots who were transferred from the base camp flight base earlier.

During this time, even if it has not gone through several formation exercises. But for the pilots of the Second Air Force Group, they are eager to take to the skies for combat. Piloting the captured Japanese fighters, he really competed with the Japanese army.

After receiving the telegram from Zhao Tiehu, the captain of the Second Air Force Brigade quickly sounded the battle alarm located in the underground warehouse. All the officers and men of the jungle airfield also acted quickly.

Remove the turf laid in the dense forest valley and quickly clear the runway. One after another, the fighters hidden in the underground hangar were immediately towed to the airport to line up for the final preparations for liftoff.

The ground staff at the airport also began to refuel the ammunition on the fighter planes. Everything was ready, and looking at the sky with a glimmer of light, the air force captain immediately said: "Send a telegram to the wolf's head and inform our department that everything is ready and ready to go at any time!" ”

After receiving a telegram from the Second Air Force Brigade, Zhao Tiehu immediately said: "Order the Second Brigade to take off!" Be sure to keep in touch with the base camp at all times! The jungle airfield on the Borneo side was closed as soon as the plane formation took off.

Send a telegram to the No. 2 Jungle Airfield, so that the troops at the No. 2 Jungle Airfield are ready to receive the fighters to land at any time. Once the two teams have completed the bombing raid mission, the second team will be transferred to our No. 2 Jungle Airport! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Compared to Borneo and Xinjiapo, the Xinghua Army in these two places only built a large jungle airfield, capable of accommodating at least 300 aircraft. In Mindanao, three forested airports have been built.

Today's Air Force First Brigade has already opened one. The remaining two jungle airports have never been activated. For this reason, the Second Brigade of the Air Force was transferred to help in the war this time, and Zhao Tiehu decided to let them switch to war.

After all, if the second brigade returned to Borneo after participating in the war, it was very likely to encounter a formation of Japanese fighters coming to help on the way. In this case, having them transfer directly to Jungle Airport 2 will shorten the time it takes for them to land and hide.

When Zhao Tiehu sent the order of 'you can take off and keep the communication smooth', Song Dabao, who is also in the base of the second brigade, also said seriously: "Brothers, I wish you all a smooth journey!" ”

"Thank you Song Tou! Flying 2nd Brigade, guaranteed to complete the mission! ”

With the captain of the second air force group, the first fighter plane to take off into the air, and the fighters parked on the three runways also began to take off three at a time. It didn't take long for the fighter formation to successfully complete the lift-off and formation.

After the bomber formation began to rise into the air, the two flight formations were completed. Under the orders of the captain of the second group, the bomber formation entered a high-altitude flight, and the fighter formation carried out a cover cruise below the bomber formation.

From Borneo to Mindanao, the distance itself is not far. When he received a telegram from the Second Air Force Group that it had successfully taken off in formation and was rushing to the skies over Davao, Mindanao, Zhao Tiehu immediately ordered a large group of fighters to take off.

Compared with the Second Air Force Brigade, they are all Chinese pilots. In the first group of the Air Force, there are some US pilots. They had combat experience with Japanese fighters earlier, and they were also a little worried when they were ordered to attack.

But Li Tianbang, who is the captain of the brigade, immediately said: "We have trained many low-altitude penetration exercises in the past, and the purpose is for today's battle. The eagle should soar in the sky, not hide in the jungle and dare not take off.

What's more, this time we are not alone, we also have a flying group that will fly from Borneo to fight alongside us. Moreover, the plane they flew was the main fighter of the Japanese army, the Zero.

In this battle, we launched a surprise attack, first attacking the Japanese aircraft carriers and destroying their carrier-based aircraft. After our surprise attack, our reinforcements will launch a second wave of attacks and bombardments against the Japanese from the rest of the directions.

Even if the fighters on the Japanese aircraft carrier take off, our two air force groups and more than 300 fighters of all kinds will not be able to deal with the fighters on the little devil aircraft carrier? Don't you want to avenge your comrades? ”

After Li Tianbang was agitated, these US pilots finally stopped saying anything. During their time at Mirin Airport, these American pilots had realized how eager these Chinese pilots were for battle.

Even during training, these Chinese pilots were not afraid of death at all, and they challenged the limits of their flying lessons every time. Even if they have not experienced actual combat, the US military pilots know very well that these Chinese pilots are elite.

The formation of fighters successfully lifted off, although the sky was already bright. But for many people, this is still a time of sweet sleep. When Li Tianbang ordered a low-altitude formation to fly, this formation of American fighters began to fly at a low altitude.

Flying over the jungle below and over the sea level, a combined formation of fighters and bombers was making a detour to pounce on the Japanese aircraft carrier group cruising in the harbor of Davao.

The commanders of the two air force groups, after their respective sorties, received the distance between the base camps one after another. Knowing that the second group had entered the combat airspace, Li Tianbang also knew that they would soon be able to see the Japanese aircraft carrier formation.

When a large group raided at low altitude along the coast, they finally saw the Japanese fleet in front of them. Many observation posts on Japanese warships looked at the wave of planes flying in front of them, and they mistook them for seabirds.

It wasn't until Li Tianbang took the lead in pulling up the fighters, followed the fighter formation, and began to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier formation not far away with maximum horsepower. Seeing the US fighter planes that suddenly appeared in the air, the officers and men of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation were a little dumbfounded.

After all, they know very well how dangerous it is to fly at low altitudes, and they know even more that flying at low altitudes at this point in time is a fatal move. But they know better that now their aircraft carrier formation is in a big crisis!
