Chapter 1172: The Devil with Wings
However, Matsushinono was horrified to find that the enemy planes not only chased after him without difficulty, but also opened fire continuously at him, but fortunately, the pilot of this national army was obviously a novice, and his shooting level was very poor, except for a round of cannons that grazed the wings of Matsushino's plane, and did not bring substantial damage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Matsushitano gritted his teeth and swooped the plane into a low altitude, almost grazing the treetops and pulling it up, and the national army plane pursuing in the rear didn't seem to dare to fly at such a low altitude before turning around and flying away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Matsushita Ye returned to the aircraft carrier base in Hangzhou Bay without looking back, and after getting off the plane, he was still in shock, facing the soldiers on the ship and shouting: "This is not an airplane, this is a devil with wings." ”
He probably didn't expect that the entire team of more than 120 planes went into battle, and he was the only one who flew back completely without any damage, and less than 10 of them barely came back with scars, and the others were all annihilated in the sky over northern Anhui, and even the most courageous general under his command, who once piloted a zero battle over the Pacific Ocean to shoot down 89 fighters of the Mi Army, known as the strongest ace pilot of the island navy, and was known as the "Demon King", also died.
The 11th Flying Regiment was no better, and the 2nd Flying Regiment of the Army Airlines relied on the advantages of close distance and convenient landing of planes to escape a group, but it was less than one-third of the total. Because of this unexpected situation, the 4th Flying Regiment did not continue to take off and enter the battle at all, but escaped disaster.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, Jinan, the former enemy headquarters of the island army.
At this time, the command headquarters was already a gloomy fog, the thunderous blow of the national army completely disrupted Okamura Ningji's position, and only then did he expect Jiang Haoran's power, and he co-developed a new aircraft, which completely abused the locust army's aviation with super high performance and powerful firepower, this is the capital he openly shouted, and the poor locust army didn't know it before this, and fell into the ambush circle he carefully arranged.
According to the reports of the soldiers who escaped by chance, Jiang Haoran's plane has an all-metal semi-monocoque structure, a streamlined fuselage, no propellers, a flight speed of about 800 kilometers per hour, four 30-millimeter cannons, and a flight altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
Not to mention its other performance, this speed and firepower alone is enough to completely abuse the Locust Army, the Locust Army's current most advanced "Gale" fighter, the maximum flight speed is 650 kilometers per hour, zero combat is even worse, only 520 kilometers per hour, equipped with firepower is a 20 mm cannon, two 7.7 mm machine guns, how can this speed and firepower compete with them?
The sudden attack made Okamura Ningji, Ishihara Waner, Kinoshita Isamu and other staff generals panic, this is no longer a tactical problem, the locust army has lost its air supremacy, and it will not be able to regain it in the short term, and the entire sky over Central and North China can only watch the planes of the national army shuttle back and forth, which is simply inferior to the national army in the early stage of the war, at least at the beginning of the terrible bomb napalm.
Hundreds of thousands of troops have to fight under the threat of such a terrifying bomb moment, and the serious consequences are unimaginable.
At the same time, the armed helicopter produced by the imperial army with great effort was originally expected to suddenly have miraculous results, but now the air supremacy has been lost, and it has lost its due value, but Jiang Haoran's helicopter can run rampant, coupled with his invincible tank troops, they simply don't know how to fight the next battle.
Moreover, this aircraft is obviously a new revolution in the history of aviation, the empire is not able to catch up, and the serious consequences are far more than these predicaments in front of them, the locust army will face the dilemma of completely losing air supremacy, and even the mainland is not safe, especially in the case that the combined fleet has suffered heavy losses, the empire may be even less able to block their high-altitude threats.
Can this battle continue? Does the Locust Army still have a chance to win? These questions are probably the questions that these high-ranking officials in the command headquarters think about the most, of course, they can only think about it in their hearts, no one dares to say it, as long as the locust does not give the order to stop this war, this war must continue.
The gloomy clouds and mist here have not yet been lifted, and there is news from the front, the bombers of the national army have begun to appear, Jiang Haoran did not break his promise, a large number of napalm began to pour on the heads of the locust soldiers, the casualties on the front line are extremely large, the scene is extremely terrifying, if there is no practical plan, I am afraid that the entire defense line will collapse in a few days.
Okamura Ninji was so angry that he almost fainted again, and a telegram was sent to the Tokyo base camp, urgently requesting tactical guidance, but there was no solution, and the reply was that the battle must be carried out to the end no matter what, and Xuzhou must be defended to the death, and the conspiracy of the army must not be allowed to succeed, and the current attack on the Soviet Union has just been effective, but there is still a distance from the German-Japanese division, and Xuzhou cannot be lost until the Soviet Union cannot be completely resolved, otherwise the rear line of the Kwantung Army will be unstable, and the Soviet Union will become tough, The catastrophe brought to the locust army in this way is simply extinctional.
How could Okamura Ninji not understand the truth, but how to stick to it has become the most headache at the moment.
At the critical moment, Ishihara was still insightful, and the command headquarters was in a hurry, but he sent telegrams to the front one by one, carefully inquiring about the troops who were "entertained" by napalm, and soon came to a conclusion, but all the areas bombed by napalm were wild and deserted, and slightly densely populated villages and towns were not among the bombardments, and Jiang Haoran still cared about the lives of the common people in the end, which gave the campaign the possibility of continuing.
According to Ishihara's plan, the troops immediately moved closer to densely populated villages and towns, relying on areas that met these conditions to build defensive lines, and at the same time, they continued to encircle and suppress the troops in the encirclement, and they must be exterminated before the outer defense line was breached.
This plan immediately became a lifesaver for Okamura Ninji, and the order was quickly issued to the troops at the front.
At the same time, Wuhan Xingying, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.
The news that the Zhan Tiger jet fighter swept through the sky had already spread throughout the command headquarters, and all kinds of splendid battle scenes had also spread all over the country through radio, telephone, radio, and other means of communication.
President Li Zongjian waved the telegram in his hand and excitedly told everyone in the command that President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill of Britain, and Marshal Stalin of the Soviet Union had all sent congratulatory telegrams, highly praising the brilliant achievements of the national army, and that all kinds of aid materials would enter China at a faster pace to ensure the final victory in the Battle of Xuzhou.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, not to mention that the materials were guaranteed, and it was a long time for foreigners to come to China to observe and study.
