In order to carry out air strikes against several large tank groups of the newly formed Sixth Army, which was advancing toward Shanghai, Okamura Ninji issued an air combat order, ordering two bomber squadrons and one fighter squadron to take off from the Shanghai airfield to quickly carry out air strikes on one of the tank groups of the newly formed Sixth Army.

The three tank regiments of the 1st Armored Division are divided into three routes, each of which is equipped with hundreds of tanks and dozens of armored vehicles, and the scale is huge, and the bombing capacity of the Shanghai airfield in small Japan is not bad if it can hit one such tank group at a time.

It is the strategy of small Japan to strike one of them by surprise first, and then to find an opportunity to strike at the second, or even the third.

After all, the speed of the plane is very fast, come quickly, and leave after dropping the bomb, which can make the new 6th Army defenseless, Jiaxing is not far from Shanghai, only 70 or 80 kilometers, and the devil plane that took off from Shanghai can come over quickly.

When the planes of the new 6th Army heard the news, they were afraid that these planes of the little Japanese would have returned home after dropping their bombs, and if the planes of the new 6th Army were a little faster, these planes would have rushed over before they had finished dropping their bombs, and there would be a group of fighters in the little Japanese army.

The two bomber formations of Little Japan are both relatively advanced Nakajima Type 97 heavy bombers, which can carry up to 1000KG of aerial bombs at a time, and are also one of the main bombers of the Little Japanese Army.

In addition to two such heavy bomber formations, there was also a fighter formation, a total of 24 Nakajima Type 97 fighters. This kind of aircraft is one of the more advanced aircraft of the small Japanese army at present, and the Shanghai airfield of small Japan was destroyed by the new 6th Army, and later. Little Japan has successively added a lot of aircraft to Shanghai Airport, and the fighter jets are mainly Type 97.

One plane after another took off from Shanghai Airport and then completed the formation of planes in the sky. For the sake of safety, fearing that in case of being pursued by the newly formed 6th Army Group, Little Japan still took off such a fighter squadron composed of 24 Nakajima Type 97 fighters.

The little devils thought that they were unaware, and one plane after another was taking off and completing the aircraft formation in the air, and the radar of the newly formed 6th Army was monitoring the situation here

Dozens of kilometers east of Jiaxing City, past Zhujia Town. On a road leading to Shanghai, the long line of the 3rd Tank Regiment was marching, and everyone seemed to be in no hurry. Take your time.

Everyone's task is to feint and attack Shanghai, not a real attack, the purpose is just to attract and mobilize as many troops as possible to the Shanghai area, and the speed cannot be too fast. Give the little devil a certain amount of time.

A battalion of tanks was at the front of the ranks. The position of the infantry battalion was in the center, and the position of the second tank battalion was the most aarity, and the tank group rumbled along the road.

On an M3 armored car, a soldier jokingly said: "Company commander, we are marching so much, the little devils must know our marching position, what if the little devils make a surprise attack on us?" ”

The captain and company commander pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Little devil knows what about our position?" How they raided us, using their anti-aircraft artillery. Or a sortie of tank groups. ”

Several soldiers next to him also laughed, full of confidence in their laughter. Everyone has full confidence in their tanks, and it's not the first time they've fought with the little devils, what can the little devils do!

One soldier even smiled and said, "Company commander, maybe the little devil has planted a large number of mines in front of the highway and is waiting for us." ”

"I'm so scared of mines." One of the fighters pretended to be scared and patted his chest exaggeratedly.

Seeing this, especially seeing the exaggerated expression of this soldier, everyone laughed loudly, and even some soldiers who usually did not smile also laughed lightly.

A Tiger tank company is in front of the road, even if the little devil is not afraid of laying mines, can the little devil's mines blow up the sturdy Tiger tank. Anti-tank mines are a kind of professional mines, and ordinary mines are really incompetent.

Seeing that everyone was in a good atmosphere, the captain and company commander did not take it lightly while being happy, but pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "If there is a certain threat to us, it is the fleet of the little devils, I heard that the Shanghai airport of the little devils has been rebuilt, and it is equipped with a large number of various aircraft. ”

What the armored forces are most afraid of is the fleet of aircraft, especially the bomber.

The company commander's prudence was not entirely unreasonable, and the approach here was too close to Shanghai, only a few dozen kilometers away.

No, I'm going to report this situation to the battalion commander and remind the battalion commander to be prepared. The captain, the company commander, thought about this, and immediately reported his thoughts to his battalion commander through the radio communication system on the car.

The battalion commander thought about it for a while, and still reported it to his regiment commander, the third regiment commander received the report, smiled lightly, it is a good thing to take precautions, and it is a good thing to be prepared, and he has already thought of this, just now in Zhujia Town, he annihilated thousands of little devils, and his whereabouts of the little devils must also know the way, and it is also possible to dispatch planes to carry out air strikes on themselves.

The little devils can't afford to lose, and they will be wiped out by two or three thousand tank regiments of the First Armored Division one after another, and they may send planes to retaliate from a long distance.

"Pass my orders, pay attention to the !! of air defense"

As the order was given, the hatches on the top of the tanks were opened, and one soldier poked his head out, and the fighters were wielding high-level dual-purpose Browning heavy machine guns of 0.5-inch caliber to prepare for air defense.

This is true of every M4 Sherman tank, even on those M3 half-track armored vehicles, with a strong light and heavy machine gun pointed at the sky.

Tank regiments can be responsible for low-altitude air defense on their own, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns can form a low-altitude fire network, and the fighters are powerless for medium and high-altitude air defense.

Everyone's inference is still accurate, a large group of small devils is flying in this direction, forty or fifty heavy bombers, more than twenty fighters.

"The Fleet !! Little Devils"

The distance is very far, this group is still far away in the sky, just a group of small black spots, many soldiers have found it. The fighters have been doing air defense all the time, and as soon as there is a situation, they will naturally find out immediately.

The commander of the Third Tank Regiment also picked up the binoculars and looked at the group of little devils in the distance, and there were many large bombers, and suddenly, his face changed slightly, if these bombers of small Japan dropped bombs at high altitude above their heads, they would be more troublesome.

After all, if you rely on heavy machine guns for air defense, the air defense altitude is limited, and if the altitude of the small Japanese fleet is too high, these machine guns will not be able to reach.

"Everyone evacuate the formation, pay attention to air defense!"

The commander of the third regiment shouted, and the order was quickly transmitted through the inter-vehicle radio communication system. Suddenly, the fighters' tanks and armored vehicles were evacuated one after another, and many combat vehicles drove off the road.

The area between Jiaxing and Shanghai is a plain terrain with flat terrain, and the only disadvantage is that there are many river networks, and under normal circumstances, the tanks and armored vehicles of the new 6th Army are driven along the road.

The little devil plane came, and the terrain on both sides of the road was flat again, and soon, the fighters began to evacuate, and their movements were orderly.

in the sky.

The group of little devils has already flown over, flying in this direction, reducing altitude. The little devil pilot on the plane was ecstatic when he saw so many tanks.

"Yo Xi!"

Seeing so many tanks and armored vehicles for the first time, a little devil pilot Nakasa who led the team was ecstatic.

"Send a message to the Shanghai airport, get ready, we will be back within an hour." Through his own radio system, the devil Nakasa became arrogant and carried away.

The devil Nakasa thinks that he can finish dropping the bomb in 20 minutes, and it is enough to leave another 20 or 30 minutes to return.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, what a chance, at this time, even if the tank group of the newly formed 6th Army below calls for their own aircraft reinforcements, it is already too late, Ha Luha"

Just when the little devils got carried away and felt that they had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, high in the sky, a large number of planes and a huge group of fighter jets were rushing towards the group of little devils.

Five fighter squadrons that took off from Hangzhou airfield, a huge fleet of 120 BF-109 Messersmit fighters, have been here for several minutes, and have been hiding in the distance.

These planes are last-mover first-served!

Seeing that the group of little devils lowered its altitude, the opportunity was rare, and the group of fighters rushed over at the fastest speed.
