As Han Yunhua expected, Wei Peng and the others were really in trouble, but it was not a good opportunity for Wei Peng and the others. Major General Shigeichi Hatada, who was commanding the troops at Madang Fortress, couldn't rest assured that Peng Ze was on his side, so he led a large group of infantry to Peng Ze overnight to inspect it.

Therefore, when Wei Peng and others lurked into Pengze City, they found that the entire Pengze City was full of devils with loaded guns, and all commanding heights were also guarded by the army, and it was simply an impossible task to open the West City Gate silently in this situation. However, Wei Peng's heart is relatively fine, and he found that Yue Jun did not know that he was coming, but seemed to be waiting for someone.

Wei Peng analyzed it in his heart, and felt that it was definitely not an ordinary person who could let the captain of Peng Zecheng's garrison send so many troops to maintain order, and it was likely to be a senior officer of the Botian detachment, or even a senior general of the Central China Front Command. At this moment, Wei Peng's mind suddenly became active, and he knew that there were four snipers in the special operations team he led. With these four snipers present, Wei Peng was confident that he could catch the army off guard.

Hiding in a dark corner of a small two-story building, Wei Peng made a few gestures to a few special combat soldiers not far away, telling them: "The snipers stay, the others retreat, and tell the commander to attack immediately when he hears the gunshots." ”

The special forces did not allow the slightest hesitation in their operations, and the special combat team members did not drag their feet and carried out Wei Peng's order very simply. After arranging the task, Wei Peng said (gesture) to the four snipers left: "Solve it according to the military rank, the officers above the Panther Major General belong to you, and after solving the important people, cover the others." Dark Leopard, if you deal with the officers above the junior sa, the first thing to solve is the officer at the middle sa level, because the most direct commander of the defenders in the city is a middle saga. Your mission is to deal with nearby firepower points and the technical units of the army, especially the machine gunners. Iron Leopard, your task is to solve a dozen nearby commanding heights and devils lurking in the shadows, eliminate them one by one from near and far, and don't let them pose a threat to other team members, I know your gun is fast, at this time you have to play a faster shooting speed than usual training, and it's up to you next. ”

The remaining five special combat team members dispersed and hid themselves, and waited for the arrival of the big fish. Besides, Kuda Mi Izhong Sasa was also taken aback when he received that Major General Hakata Shigeichi's convoy had arrived ten miles away from the east gate of Pengze County, but thinking about the temper of this chief, Hinata Mi Izhong Sasa was also relieved, such a thing Major General Hamada Shigeichi has not done less, and it is not bad this time.

However, Kuda Mi Izhong Zuo is still a little unhappy in his heart, in the past, Major General Hakuda Shigeichi often conducted surprise inspections on his five infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, but he never inspected the first brigade, saying that he was absolutely relieved about the first brigade, how did he think of suddenly inspecting the first brigade today.

If you are not happy, you will not be happy, but you still have to greet it, and the etiquette should not be wasted. Kuda Mii Nakasa knows that although Major General Hakata Shigeichi is very good at commanding, this person has a shortcoming, although it is not enough to be fatal, but it is very annoying, that is, he loves face. Every time Major General Shigeichi Harata inspected the troops below, he had to secretly let out a little rumor and let his subordinates prepare for the ceremony. However, Major General Shigeichi Harata also knew what the purpose of the surprise inspection was, so he was very accurate when he released the news, usually ten minutes before he was about to arrive at the destination, and he didn't need to be out of the list this time.

When Kuda Mii Nakasa led the first officer of the 1st Brigade to the east gate, Major General Shigeichi Harata and his party were also about to arrive. Kuda Mii was no stranger to this kind of thing, and he had accompanied Major General Shigeichi Harata to inspect the troops below many times before.

Kuda Mi Izhong Sa, who was familiar with the road, opened the car door for Major General Hakata Shigeichi and welcomed Major General Hakata Shigeichi into Pengze County. Major General Shigeichi Harata did not immediately go to the headquarters to rest as Kuda Mii suggested, but first went to the east gate of Pengze and looked around at the defensive position that Kuda Mii Nakasa had placed.

After looking at the defensive position of the east gate of Pengze, Major General Shigeichi Hauda was very satisfied with the arrangement of Kuda Mii Nakasa. So he asked Kuda Mi Izhongsa to take him to the West Gate to see, and he wanted to make sure that nothing went wrong. To tell the truth, after reading the achievements of Han Yunhua's headquarters sent by the Central China Front Headquarters, Major General Hakata Shigeichi was also shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of Han Yunhua's department.

Therefore, Major General Shigeichi Harata was very uneasy, he didn't want to be the second to be mixed into the 15th Brigade, let alone the second Yamashita Fubun. In his eyes, Han Yunhua has become synonymous with demonity.

Along the way, Major General Shigeichi Harata was riding in a very slow car, and he wanted to see how Kuda Mi Ichusa was running the small county town of China that he had just occupied. But on the surface, it doesn't seem to be bad, at least I haven't seen any disharmony along the way, and I think it's not much of a problem to stick to a small county town with the talent of Kuda Mi Izhongsa.

Thinking of the telegram sent by His Excellency the Commander just now, he said that due to the effects of the sudden destruction of the Third Fleet, the situation of the Imperial Army was now very bad. Yesterday morning, all the air units of the empire in southern China were sent out by the North China Front Command, mainly to search for the fate of the Third Fleet, whose fate was uncertain. However, the result turned out to be a decisive battle between the China Air Force and the Air Corps directly under the command of the Central China Front Army.

At about 10 a.m. on 14 October, the Chinese Air Force engaged in a rare aerial decisive battle with the Chinese Air Force over Huanggang. In order to prevent the Chinese Navy from taking over the main warships of the Third Fleet, the Chinese military transferred all the air forces that could be mobilized now, and even the Third Air Regiment, which was used to defend the port of Shanghai, was also transferred.

However, although the strength of the Chinese Air Force is not as strong as that of the Chinese Air Force, the Nationalist Government in southern China does have a set of effective air defense early warning systems, and with the help of this air defense early warning system, the Chinese Air Force has almost nothing to hide, and as long as the planes fly together from the airport, the Chinese authorities will be able to get the news and mobilize air forces to intercept or set up an ambush to besiege the Air Force in the shortest possible time. This time was no exception, as soon as the fighter planes of the Yueben Air Force at the Nanjing airport took off, the special agents of the Wuhan Nationalist Political Axe Military Command received the news and sent this information to Chiang Kai-shek's desk as quickly as possible.

Chiang Kai-shek himself had dealt with this kind of thing many times, and he was familiar with it. Soon Chiang Kai-shek judged that the target of this army could not be Wuhan or other cities in the rear, but probably the more than 30 warships that were sailing on the Yangtze River. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek ordered to stop the enemy reinforcements at all costs, and all the fighters of the Chinese air force in the Wuhan area and the Soviet Voluntary Air Force in Nanchang, which were now in Nanchang, took to the air together to block the enemy planes, and at the same time all the bombers took advantage of the absence of all the fighters of the army to quickly rush to the two famous Chinese cities of Nanjing and Shanghai.

In order to meet the unprecedented scale of the Japanese air force, the Chinese air force made operational arrangements ahead of schedule, transferred two Chinese and Soviet fighter groups from Nanchang to Wuhan to prepare for the battle, and made tactical arrangements in advance. Sure enough, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Han Yunhua's headquarters stationed at Hukou sent a telegram saying that a large number of fighters of the Chinese army were protecting dozens of bombers and were heading up the Yangtze River, as if they were going to pursue the naval fleet, and the total number of Syrian planes had reached more than 150. In fact, in order to complete this mission, the army dispatched a total of 87 Type 96 heavy bombers, covered by 6 groups of 12 destroyers, and escorted by 25 old fighters, and the total number of planes reached a terrifying 184. The army was divided into multi-layered formations and quickly approached the Chinese naval fleet.

The Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Volunteer Air Force were already in full array, dispatching 104 fighters from three groups to intercept the attack, and the two air forces met at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters above Huanggang. After the two planes met, the Chinese Air Force first used E-15 fighters to induce the fighters to break away from the bomber group, and the E-16 fighters to annihilate the bombers. At the same time, the Chinese naval fleet cruising in the middle of the river also assisted the air force in the operation, and hundreds of ship-based antiaircraft machine guns opened fire together, forming an extremely solid air defense position over the Yangtze River, which is several kilometers wide. For a time, "from Huanggang to the sky over Wuhan, the sky was full of fireworks, all of which belonged to the wreckage of the enemy's heavy bomber that was shot down by us."

Sixty-nine E-15 planes and 45 E-16 planes of three groups of the Chinese Air Force bravely resisted as many as 184 enemy planes, and in this situation of great disparity in strength between the enemy and us, the Chinese and Soviet air force fighters, with the assistance of the naval fleet, shot down a total of 34 fighters and 54 bombers of the Chinese Air Force, and the 25 old fighters were quickly dismembered at the beginning. The Chinese Air Force lost 28 planes, and the "10?14 Air Battle" was not only the most fierce air battle during the Wuhan War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also the most fierce air battle during the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the country.

It was the soul of the two nations that collided, and it was the indomitable soul of the Han nation that struggled with the soul of the Yamato national militarism, and an air battle ended with the army receiving Nanjing and Shanghai and being bombed by Chinese bombers and returning urgently. The air battle did not last long, less than two hours from the time the two countries' flying teams met and the end of the air battle, but the impact was enormous.

Although it is said that the battle on the ground has not yet ended, without the strong support of the air force and navy, no one knows whether the army will be as invincible as before, and for a time public opinion at home and abroad began to develop in favor of China.
