Chapter 489: The Eagle Over Wuhan (5)

According to common sense, the Eighth Route Army Air Force does not have fighter escorts, and it should be dispatched in batches when it is dispatched to carry out missions. However, Feng Dafei knew that Luoyang Airport had been exposed, and the army would definitely investigate and block it. In addition, Luoyang is a famous city and a strategic location, and military spies and spies may have been lurking in Luoyang a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago. Although they themselves have taken secrecy measures, and the headquarters of the First Theater Commander will also keep it strictly secret, the fact that the planes are flying in the sky and landing on the ground cannot be concealed in any case, and as long as there are military spies in Luoyang City, the military planes will definitely come to retaliate. However, there are many fighters in the army, and the bomber formation is not their opponent, so they can only concentrate their forces and leave with one vote, and fight guerrilla warfare in the air with the little devils, so that they cannot find a trace. Therefore, he took all three squadrons of fighters with the whole group and took off.

Before taking off, Feng Dafei used the radio to get in touch with Hankou Airport and exchanged communication frequencies with the fighter squadron on escort duty.

When Feng Dafei led the first aviation team to arrive at the Xinluo battlefield, it was the time when the army launched an attack. Feng Dafei looked down, the enemy and our positions were clearly distinguished, and the artillery positions of the army were divided into several levels, and they were shelling frantically. The devil's infantry had already formed battle formations and moved towards the defenders' positions under the cover of artillery fire.

Feng Dafei is not a simple air force cadre, he is a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, studied at the Moscow Higher Aviation School and the Army University of the Soviet Union, served as a battalion commander, regiment commander, acting army commander, deputy captain of the teaching corps and chief of education, deputy commander of the Central Guard Division, commander of the only division of the Red Seventh Army Corps, and a senior general who is highly regarded by Liu Yimin. With this observation, Feng Dafei immediately determined the focus of the first wave of attacks, that is, to resolutely destroy the artillery positions of the Yue Army.

Feng Dafei immediately gave a battle order through the throat intercom: "All attention: I am Feng Dafei, the second squadron is in the front, the third squadron is in the center, the first brigade is behind, the target devil artillery position, the first wave of bombs, the second wave of dive shooting, all of them attack." Repeat that the second squadron is in front, the third squadron is in the center, and the first squadron is behind, and the target devil artillery position is launched. Attack! ”

The second and third squadrons are both light bombers and are fast, and the first squadron is heavy bombers, so naturally they will be behind.

The sky is so clear, in the eyes of the pilots, the little devil's artillery positions are simply targets. Now that there are no military planes to intercept them, this is a rare opportunity for target training. Who doesn't know how to shoot a target? Don't fight for nothing, don't fight.

All the bombers of the 2nd, 3rd, and 1st squadrons swooped down in battle formation.

The troops of the 3rd Division of the Devils were attacking the position of Dong Zhao's 28th Division, and the 3rd Wing of the Field Artillery of the 3rd Division and a brigade of the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, which was originally part of the Second Army, were cooperating with the attack. At this time, the commander of the 3rd Field Artillery Wing, Seiichi Takeda, was directing the artillerymen to carry out the artillery bombardment of the central [***] team.

Seeing the shells explode on the position of the squadron and set off white fireworks, Seiichi Takeda felt that he was not a soldier, but an artist. Look at how gorgeous this fireworks drama he directed!

Seiichi Takeda held a telescope in the command post, observing the effect of the shelling, while constantly shouting yo Xi, and constantly ordering the staff officers to modify the shelling parameters and correct the coordinates.

In the words of the common people, this army is the most shameless army in the world, and when it wins, it likes to boast about the results of the battle, and when it fails, it always shrinks the battle losses. When they encounter things that they think are very humiliating, such as the annihilation of entire brigades and divisions, or the collective jade fragmentation of the North China Air Force, the loss of Tianjin, and so on, they can always hold on for as long as they want, and it is not until the battle report of the Central [***] team is published and the newspapers and radio stations of various countries are fried into a pot of porridge that the military headquarters will come out to clarify. As a result, the people in the military and even the troops on the front line were in a fog all day long, and they could not figure out what was going on.

Takeda Seiichi is a middle-level officer of the army, and naturally he does not know about the bombing of Kaifeng Airport, Shangqiu Airport, and Anyang Airport at this time. He also thought that the fact that the air force did not come to bomb today provided an opportunity for his artillery to perform on stage, and just so happened to allow him to show off his might.

Of course, after all, the Yue army is a well-trained elite, and although Takeda Seiichi did not know why the planes of the Yue Army Air Force did not come to bomb today, he still made air defense preparations, because the distance between this place and Wuhan was unwilling, and the planes of the Chinese Air Force often came to bomb, and even engaged in fierce air battles with the planes.

Just when Takeda Seiichi shouted yo xi and triumphant, 24 eagles swooped down from the sky, like flies fighting rabbits, and began to strangle the artillery positions of the army.

From the day it was formed, the Eighth Route Army Air Force was engaged in sneak attacks, and it was very experienced in how to sneak attack devil airfields and artillery positions. In addition, it integrates the Soviet tactics learned by Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun from the Soviet Union and David's US military tactics, and his style is extremely fierce, and he cherishes ammunition, so he never engages in high-altitude bombing, and his favorite is low-altitude skimming and dive bombing, and he pays attention to the first hit. No, after Feng Dafei gave the order to attack, the three squadrons of the whole brigade lined up in a wild goose formation and began to dive and attack.

Seiichi Takeda was complacent, and a strange scene suddenly appeared in the telescope: just above his artillery position, a group of warplanes suddenly appeared, roaring towards his artillery position. Takeda Seiichi took a closer look, and the fuselage was written on the Eighth Route Army Air Force. Immediately after, a huge explosion sounded in Takeda's ears.

Seiichi Takeda's mouth grew into a 0 in surprise, and his eyes stared at the bombs exploding on the artillery position, scattering the cannons and throwing the artillerymen's stumps into the air, wrapped in a fog of mud and soot.

Takeda Seiichi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's still an airplane cow, the fireworks they set off are more than the fireworks set off by their own shells, and they are much more gorgeous and bloody.

Without waiting for Takeda Seiichi to continue to be surprised and sigh, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army, which had completed the first wave of bomb attacks, pulled up and started the second round of attacks. This time, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army flew almost skimming the treetops, and the earth-shattering sound of machine guns and machine guns chased the figures of the artillery of the Yue Army and harvested the lives of the Yue Army.

The artillery of the Chinese army, who was still bullying the Chinese defenders just now, became fish and meat on the chopping board of the Chinese Air Force in the blink of an eye. This contrast was so great that Seiichi Takeda, who was still applauding the accurate shelling of his artillery just now, couldn't react for a while. By the time he came over in a daze and ordered the anti-aircraft fire to open fire one after another, the commander of the air defense unit, who was observing the position like him, was already frightened, stared, drunk, and staggered around the position, until a shuttle of machine-gun bullets hit him and completely nailed him to Chinese soil.

Seeing that the artillery shells had exploded in the artillery position of the Yue army, and the smoke and dust had already affected the line of sight, Feng Dafei, who was particularly satisfied with the results of the battle, ordered to stop the attack and led the formation to ravage the infantry of the Yue army, who was attacking the defenders' position.

Finally waited until the Eighth Route Army fighter flew away, and Takeda Seiichi was completely sober, at this time his bushido spirit returned, pulled out of the battle, roared and rushed out of the artillery command post, and went up to the position to take a look, Amaterasu, is this still an artillery position carefully constructed by himself? There were corpses of soldiers everywhere, and occasionally wounded men with missing arms and legs wailing, and the cannon was not even intact, parts were scattered all over the ground, and the wheels of the gun carriage did not know where to go.

Takeda Sei raised his sword as soon as he roared "Uday", and a piece of shrapnel flew over, breaking his command knife in two at once. Seiichi Takeda sat down on the ground in fright, and then crawled and rolled back to the command post.

After returning to the command post, Seiichi Takeda returned to his senses and ordered a telegram to be sent to the division commander, to Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, and to General Shunroku Hata, whose Third Field Artillery Wing had all been buried under the bombs of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, and asked them to hold the damned Air Force responsible for its poor cover and avenge his artillery.

Dong Zhao couldn't believe his eyes, just now he was still thinking that if there was a plane, he would first bring the little devil's artillery, but it turned out that it was really his own plane coming. And there were twenty or thirty bombers, which completely destroyed the artillery positions of the little devils. Then, the air force brothers began to bomb the infantry again, and you can see how accurately the bombs exploded, and if they went down, they would be a group of little devils being taken to the air to dance, and a row of machine guns would blow up the heavy machine gun positions or infantry artillery and grenadier positions of the little devils. Awesome, such an awesome Air Force hero!

Dong Zhao couldn't help but run out of the command post happily, took off his military hat and waved it at the plane in the sky.

With a wave, Dong Zhao's arm stiffened, and the joy on his face turned cold. Because he clearly saw that the plane was covered with a red five-pointed star pattern, and the five-pointed star was also printed with the word "August 1", and the words "Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade" were written next to it, needless to say that this was the plane of the Eighth Route Army to support him.

For the Eighth Route Army, Dong Zhao had an indescribable feeling in his heart, because the Eighth Route Army was the original Red Army, and the Red Seventh Army was the gravedigger of the original First Division in the world, and this Eighth Route Army Aviation Team must have been born from the Eighth Route Army instructor adapted from the Red Seventh Army. Only Liu Yimin's instructor took Taiyuan and attacked Tianjin, and he had the opportunity to completely capture the planes of the Yue army. Looking at the bombers of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, Dong Zhao knew that it was his sworn enemy who came to support him.

However, the expression on Dong Zhao's face was only cold for a moment. After all, he is a soldier, and there are people on the battlefield who come to the rescue, they are all brothers, what are you doing so much! Listening to the cheers of the brothers on his own position, wave after wave, almost penetrating the roar of planes and the explosion of bombs, Dong Zhao's face was once again smiling.

After returning to the headquarters, Dong Zhao hung up Hu Zongnan's phone and reported that when the Yue Army was about to launch an attack on the whole line under the cover of artillery bombardment, the Eighth Route Army Air Force descended from the sky, blew up the artillery positions of the Yue Army, and then bombed the infantry of the Yue Army. Now that the army has been bombed, it is requested to launch a counterattack on all fronts.

Everyone understands the truth of beating the water dog, although Hu Zongnan was known as a great and talented man by Mr. Peng in history, he can definitely grasp this kind of fighter. Soon, a loud charge sounded from the defenders' positions, and groups of soldiers jumped out of the trenches and pounced on the little devil infantry.

Feng Dafei commanded a large aviation team to chase the bombing and fighting of the Yue army, and when the battle was rising, he saw that the defenders launched a counterattack, and he felt that this [***] was not completely a straw bag, and he also knew that the situation was advantageous. Okay, enough for a man! Let's make them perfect!

As a result, Feng Dafei immediately gave an order, and the three squadrons formed three battle groups to guide the defenders to counterattack.

The planes of the Eighth Route Army specially threw bombs at the places where the little devils were gathered, and the machine guns and machine guns specially destroyed the resistance positions of the little devils, so that the counterattack of the ground troops could be smoother and faster.

The officers in the southern part of Hu Zong quickly saw that the planes of the Eighth Route Army were guiding and covering their counterattacks, and immediately commanded their troops to attack with the planes' attack points. In the end, even the [***] fighter squadron that rushed to escort the escort also accepted Feng Dafei's command, and as the Eighth Route Army Air Force desperately attacked the ground troops of the Yue Army, the attack troops of the Third Division of the Yue Army were staggered and unable to gain a foothold, and the entire battle line was shaken, and they even began to work to open the road backwards.

This sudden, perfect air-ground coordinated operation completely stunned the Third Division. This beast army, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people since the beginning of the war, suffered a rout for the first time, and it was only when it retreated to Luoshan County that it could be considered to stabilize its position. Under the cover of the Eighth Route Army's air force, Hu Zongnan's 17th Group Army achieved the first record of defeating the permanent divisions of the Chinese Army, and its morale was greatly boosted, and it became the ace unit in the Central Army.

Feng Dafei and the others fought until they ran out of ammunition, and then withdrew from the battle and prepared to return.

At this time, through wireless contact, Feng Dafei learned the news of the bombing of Luoyang Airport from the [***] fighter squadron, and also received an order from Wuhan to transfer the Eighth Route Army Air Force to Hankou Airport.

Feng Dafei didn't want to transfer to Hankou Airport, but the rise of his fight, not only ran out of ammunition, but even the fuel was insufficient, and it was okay to fly back to Luoyang, but it was absolutely impossible to fly back to Shaanxi Airport. With ammunition running out and fuel insufficient, the Eighth Route Army Air Force at this time was at its weakest, and in case it encountered enemy planes, there was only one way to collide with them. In that case, the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army's aviation, which embodies the efforts of countless people, will be buried in their own hands.

In desperation, Feng Dafei had no choice but to order a large group to transfer to Hankou Airport with the [***] fighter squadron.
