Chapter 1523 Xinkou Victory (I)

At 9 o'clock on the morning of 21 July, in order to save the lives of more than 100,000 Japanese troops in the encirclement, the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters in Beiping had no choice but to make an emergency response against its will, first dispatching a large number of fighters from the airfields in Beiping, Tianjin, and other places to Xinkou to fight the Chinese Air Force in order to save the critical situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Half an hour after the air battle at Xinkou began, after consulting with the Air Force Command of the Chinese Dispatch Army, the Japanese army sent reconnaissance planes, fighters, and bombers from the airfields in Baoding, Shijiazhuang, and Handan to form a surprise attack detachment to bomb the airfield of the Chinese Air Force while the Chinese Air Force was concentrating on the air battle at Xinkou, so as to achieve the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it by surprise.

In the sky above Xinkou, the fighter pilots who had been depressed for a day yesterday after watching the bomber unit exert their might were having enough of it this time. The Japanese army invested a lot of money, and the Hayabusa fighters and Curtis XP-40 fighters ordered from the United States sent 200 fighters in one go, which appeared to be full of momentum, and they were entangled with 180 A26 and A27 fighters from 12 squadrons of the Anjia Air Force (there was still a group maneuvering).

Because the radar system predicted the movement of the Japanese fighter group in advance, and the Anjia Air Force preset an ambush circle in the sky, the Japanese army lost 21 fighters at the beginning of the battle, and the gap in numbers between the two sides was flattened at once.

It has to be said that this time the Japanese pilots had the determination and courage to die, but the development of the battle situation once again confirmed Ishihara's prediction, and they returned with a disastrous defeat.

After half an hour of air combat and the heavy price of 92 fighters, the remaining Japanese pilots fled in panic over Xinkou.

In the air battle over Xinkou, the Anjia Army Air Force won a complete victory, losing only 31 fighters in battle, 21 half-wooden A27 fighters, and 10 A26 fighters with thick skin.

Except for the eight fighters that happened to break through the fuel tank and disintegrate in the air, the pilots of the other damaged fighters were all rescued, and almost all the pilots who escaped by jumping into the Japanese parachute were beaten to death with hoes and sticks by the peasants who rushed to the vicinity after hearing the news, and they could not be rescued by the time they were discovered.

When the battle over Xinkou was in full swing, the pilots of the 15 th Air Force Brigade stationed at Yangquan Airport were eating instant noodles and luncheon meat delivered by the ground crew next to their planes. Not far from them were scattered, anti-aircraft bombers and anti-aircraft guns.

"Woo-woo-"

The moment the air defense siren was heard, all the pilots jumped into the cockpit as fast as they could, and a loud call from the tower came from the intercom:

"The radar found a large formation of Japanese planes, which came from the direction of one o'clock, three o'clock and five o'clock, the closest distance was eighty-five kilometers from us, the farthest was one hundred and seventy kilometers, and the altitude was three thousand meters!"

The command tower kept repeating the call, and the commander of the 15th Regiment, who personally led the attack, Colonel Lei Yizhi, replied: "I am Lei Yizhi, I understand, the nearest 85 kilometers, the farthest 170 kilometers, and the height 3,000 meters. ”

Starting the engine and turning up the speed, Lei Yizhi said into the microphone: "I'm Lei Yizhi, all the emergency takeoff, all the fighter squadrons follow me, let's kill the devils in the direction of three o'clock first, and then meet the enemy from one o'clock and five o'clock." ”

With that, with a push of the joystick, Lei Yizhi was the first to take off, followed by 90 improved AB26 fighters equipped with high-powered cannons, aviation machine guns and rockets.

After 10 minutes of climbing formation, the fighter formation of the whole regiment was completed, and the air monitoring the eastern sky was 20 kilometers east of Yangquan.

Soon, an early warning came from the ground control tower, and at the same time the S3 high-altitude reconnaissance plane sent a message that the Japanese army at three o'clock was flying over the Taihang Mountains.

Lei Yizhi led the formation, hid at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and soon saw a huge group of planes, flying from east to west, and immediately issued an order:

"I'm Reizhi, the first and second squadrons are attacking enemy bombers with all their might, let those shit days taste your secret weapon! Three, four, five, six squadrons, with all their might to disperse the Japanese fighters! When this wave is defeated, we have to turn around and face the opponent! ”

The pilots were just about to answer "Understood", when they heard Rei's knowingly laugh from the headphones: "Hahaha, fuck, this time it's finally enjoyable!" ”

This sentence made the ninety pilots laugh after answering "understood".

Then, Lei Yizhi's roar came from the earphones: "Hit Lao Tzu hard!" Tell Little Japan to have a good taste of the power of our Anjia Army Air Force! ”

This time, under the cabin of the A26 fighter, it is equipped with a sufficient number of rockets! At a time when the officers and men of the air force going to Central Asia have not yet been used, the domestic battlefield will first have a place to use, and this will be the first time that airborne rockets will participate in actual combat.

The reconnaissance planes led by the Japanese army had apparently detected the ambush of the Chinese Air Force, and the group behind began to panic to a certain extent, and the fighters at the head took the initiative to meet them.

But at this time, the dive of the A26 fighter group had already begun, and each fighter had locked on to its own target, and the fuselage made a "clatter" sound during the rapid descent.

In the first wave of attacks, the Japanese fighters scattered in all directions, there were still 17 that could not dodge, and were hit by machine gun and machine gun attacks from above, and then the A26 fighter group, like lightning, penetrated into the rear of the Japanese aircraft group, turned course again, sorted out the formation, and bit the tail of the Japanese aircraft group.

The Japanese fighter group at one end and one tail, the heavy bomber group and the light bomber group sandwiched in the middle, had lost their position, and the fighters desperately turned to meet the fighters of the An Jiajun, while the clumsy bombers could only keep accelerating, like a frightened deer herd, trying to break free from the sneak attack of the "wolf pack".

When the fighters of the six squadrons were more than 500 meters away from the Japanese aircraft formation, they simultaneously fired rockets at the Japanese aircraft formation, and for a time, ninety-one bombs with flame tails were displayed in the air, and the first salvo of rockets was announced to be completed within a few seconds.

This wave of rocket attacks completely disrupted the Japanese aircraft formation, and there were eleven rockets that hit directly, seven bombers and two Curtiss XP-40 fighters had already dragged thick smoke to the ground, and the two Hayabusa fighters, worthy of the title of "air lighters", were so poorly defended that the fuel tank wall located in the wing burned violently on the spot and then exploded and disintegrated.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese fighter formation collided with our air force, and planes flew in all directions in the air, and aviation machine gun bullets and machine gun shells flew indiscriminately.

Reichi's eyes widened, and a single shot sent a Hayabusa fighter into the air, and then pushed the joystick forward to the right, and a twin-engine bomber appeared in his field of vision.

"Dare to stand in the way, go and die!"

The twin cannon and two large-caliber machine guns fired a three-barreled salvo, and the four ballistics accurately hit the new Japanese Ki-48 Kawasaki twin-shot crit in front of him, and four lines of fist-sized bullet holes instantly appeared in the tail of the crit plane, penetrating from the tail to the nose, and then triggered the bomb in the magazine, and a violent explosion occurred!

At this time, the air was already in a melee, and the Japanese bomber group had obviously been frightened by the first wave of terrifying attacks just now, and did not expect its own fighter group to disperse the fighters of the An Jia Army, so they turned around and ran.

This group of fighters from Shijiazhuang consisted of 120 fighters, of which only 45 fighters, five of which were damaged in the first wave of attacks, and nine of them were damaged in a wave of air battles, and the remaining 31 fighters were not at all opponents of the fighters of their four squadrons, and the situation was full of dangers, and it was difficult to protect even themselves, so it was no wonder that the bomber pilots had no confidence.

However, it was not easy for the bombers to turn around and escape, and the A26 fighters of the two groups chased after them, and one after another fell into the ground like dumplings under the powerful fire of aviation machine guns and machine guns.

The Japanese fighter pilots were already red-eyed, and the air raid that they thought was foolproof actually crashed headlong into the ambush circle carefully set up by the Anjia Army's fighter group, and the terrifying rocket offensive just now brought people too much psychological pressure, and at this time, their own planes were shot down from time to time, which stimulated the Japanese fighter pilots to forget their own danger and desperately want to destroy their opponents.

However, no matter how the Japanese planes fought, the A26 fighters with a sturdy fuselage of the An Jiajun did not pay attention to this set at all, and adopted a resolute and decisive fighting style, approaching and attacking at high speed, disengaged, and attacking again! In front of the A26 fighter, which has completely superior performance, the Falcon fighter has lost its original aura, like a juggling monkey, and it cannot be powerful.

Planes continued to fall in the air, and the fighters of the An Jiajun occupied an absolute advantage, and the Japanese fighters fought fewer and fewer.

Finally, some Japanese fighters couldn't hold on and began to retreat, followed by a domino-like effect, and the other fighters who were still fighting also turned their noses and fled.

"I'm Lei Yizhi, don't pursue, the enemy has already broken through his courage and doesn't dare to turn back! We will now immediately head north to meet the Japanese aircraft group from Baoding! Everyone should be fast, still seize the commanding heights, and then decisively launch an attack! ”

The group intercepted the group of Japanese planes heading south on the line of Niangzi Pass, and it was another melee, and the Japanese group composed of 80 fighters finally managed to escape less than 50.

After turning south and defeating the group of 60 Japanese fighters coming from the direction of Handan, the red-eyed Lei Yi knew that he had no worries about the future and ordered the tail to pursue, and so far he had only lost 19 fighters in the group, and he pursued and fought fiercely all the way, and finally shot down the last Japanese fighter plane over the Handan airport.

When he learned of the defeat in the Xinkou air battle, the heavy losses of the Japanese air forces in Beiping and Tianjin, the greatest losses suffered by the Shijiazhuang and Baoding flight squadrons since their formation, and that the five flight squadrons stationed at Handan Airport were all wiped out, Lieutenant General Watanabe Akimitsu, commander of the Japanese air force in North China, knew that he was finished. With such a heavy loss, someone has to come out and bear the blame, and it is obvious that the dispatch army command is unwilling to bear such a responsibility!

Lieutenant General Akimitsu Watanabe asked Chief of Staff Kazudo Asano to send a telegram to Senior General Tokukawa Yoshitoshi of the Army Air Corps Headquarters in Shenyang: The surprise attack failed, and our sortie aircraft group suffered heavy losses!

Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Watanabe used the ancestral short knife in his hand to cut open his stomach, and at the moment when he shouted "Long live the Emperor", the staff officers behind him cut off his head, and when his head hit the ground, a pair of eyes were wide open, and he couldn't blink to death!

Just when the Chinese and Japanese fighters in the sky were killing each other happily in Jinzhong, Jindong, and Jixi, the Second Theater also launched a general attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

As the three signal flares rose into the sky, a total of 144 large-caliber howitzers of the artillery regiment of the four divisions took the lead in firing their might, and the rumbling sound of the artillery exploded on the position of the devils.

One shell after another, like a human meat mixer, those unlucky devils who fell into the explosion radius of the grenade turned into powder in an instant, and there was not even anything left to identify them.

Heavy artillery, terrible heavy artillery!

There was a low sound of breaking the air, and the whole earth trembled after it landed.

The lethality of heavy artillery is naturally undoubted, but the greater blow to people is the powerful shock it brings when it fires a salvo.

When the artillery fire was extended, the four tank battalions, supported by the accompanying fire of more than 400 mortars, led the anti-aircraft sports cars and a large number of infantry to kill the devils in a wedge-shaped formation.

The charge has officially begun!

The devils found a large group of tanks making a strange rumbling sound, and in the tooth-aching crawler crushing sound, they killed themselves, and they were all terrified, but they still fought hard.

The high-speed shelling of more than 400 mortars from two divisions filled the gaps left by the 120mm and 150mm howitzers and completely disrupted the resistance of the Japanese army.

The high-speed assault of tanks and anti-aircraft combat vehicles without the cover of heavy fire is nothing less than a bloody and brutal one-sided massacre.

With the cooperation of the powerful machine-gun fire of the anti-aircraft combat vehicles, the tank units led the troops, dividing, encircling, annihilating, dividing, encircling, and annihilating again.

A large number of infantry closely followed the tanks and anti-aircraft combat vehicles and covered each other, bringing into full play the power of infantry and artillery coordination during training.

Faced with this never-before-seen way of fighting, coupled with the loss of artillery coordination, the devil soldiers suddenly became unable to fight.

The ferocious Japanese army, quickly surrounded by tanks and anti-aircraft fighting vehicles, was wiped out not long after. Occasionally, the devil hit the tank with the remaining anti-tank guns, but was surprised to find that the tank did not catch fire or even explode, but only paused slightly and rushed forward again.

Since the J1 Wolf tank and the J2 Leopard tank both used high-horsepower diesel engines, the probability of fire was greatly reduced, and the thickness of the armor was far beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.

Most of the devil's anti-aircraft guns had already been destroyed in last night's "burning mountain" operation, and with the destruction of all the artillery units, the rolling torrent of tanks was overwhelming, killing and injuring a large number of devil soldiers.

Just as the torrent of tanks rushed towards the devils, the officers and men of the 17th Division and the New Sixth Division, as well as the officers and men of the teaching brigade and special service regiment as strategic reserves, rushed to the enemy one after another, using their skilled melee skills to exert great power.

"Punch and rush!"

"Don't look to the rear!"

"Don't think about the enemy!"

"Dare to take the enemy! Dare to fight! ”

"Fight wherever you go!"

"Don't be afraid to disrupt the system, quickly intersperse and divide in small groups!"

"Don't be afraid of chaos! Mess with yourself and the enemy is even more messy! ”

These words continue to echo in the ears of the soldiers of the An Family Army, who rushed into the midst of the enemy without any scruples, like a group of myths and legends that specialize in harvesting people's lives, dancing out of a beautiful rhythm on the stage of death.

The Japanese generals in the encirclement, such as Seki Kameji and Murakami Keisaku, tried several times to gather their troops, but their efforts failed again and again. Those brave Shina warriors, it seems that everyone thinks that they are King Kong's incorruptible body, and they will attack wherever there are many people, and the battlefield no longer seems to belong to the Great Japanese Empire.

Tanks and anti-aircraft combat vehicles were incomparably ferocious, rampage through the devils, and blood and flesh flew everywhere they went.

It's messed up, it's all messed up!

The soldiers could not find the company, the company could not find the battalion, the battalion could not find the regiment, the regiment could not find the brigade, the brigade could not find the division, and the officers and men of the Anjia Army had only one belief, and where there was gunfire, they would attack there.

Two or three officers and soldiers who were shouting dared to chase a squad of devils running around.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, even the elite such as the Japanese soldiers can not escape this fate, there are panicked devils everywhere, and there are soldiers chasing devils everywhere.

No matter how strong your beliefs and excellent combat skills are, once you are coerced by the defeated crowd, you can only do nothing, quickly make yourself mediocre, or even become one of them.

Fear and panic spread and amplified like a plague among people. One person can take ten people, ten people can take hundreds of people, and the rout happened irresistibly in a panic!

In desperation, Japanese generals such as Seki Kameji and Murakami Keisaku had no choice but to flee to the Hutuo River in the east, surrounded by military police and staff officers.

After witnessing the chaos of the Japanese army's structure and the lack of consciousness of resistance, the 170th Division, which had sacrificed a huge amount yesterday, also began to move. Under the leadership of division commander Li Jun, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 170th Division went to cover up and kill in the direction where the devils fled at an incredible speed.

This unit, which has been attacked by the Japanese army and held the battle line, has completed the process of transforming from a recruit to an elite, like a sharp awl, revealing its murderous edge from the bag. They penetrated through the Japanese battle line and quickly spread out to the flanks, strangling and annihilating the enemy.

The officers and men of the Anjia Army, who were constantly moving south from the rear, followed behind the 170th Division, and fought their way into the chaotic battlefield through its torn openings.

One side is frightened, and the other side is murderous and judgmental.

The blood of youth finally boiled, and the murderous warriors rushed forward, and the devils in front of them immediately collapsed. The soldiers followed the scattered devils directly after the commander of the Japanese army, and often the troops that had just been gathered were immediately scattered by their own people and the enemy.
