Chapter 341: The Battle of Busan 1 2nd Update
The Japanese planes that took off were the Type 95 fighters they were generally equipped with, which was a generation behind the Zero fighters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The performance of the two sides in all aspects is not at the same level at all, and the aircraft group led by Zhang Xinghua has an absolute numerical advantage.
In a single shot, several Japanese planes were hit by a dense rain of bullets and exploded in the air, or fell with a long stream of smoke.
After shooting down a few Japanese planes, Zhang Xinghua and his men also quickly flew the fighters back home, because of the fuel problem, they could not stay longer, and their whereabouts had been exposed, and the bomber group could be intercepted by Japan's sea-based and land-based air forces at any time.
So they had to immediately chase after Pig Island and say 3w. to provide escort for the return of the bomber group.

In the city of Fukuoka, where the fire is raging, Kamei Shigeichi is holding a corpse in grief and indignation.
This corpse was none other than his younger brother Kamei Shigeji, who was killed by an explosion in order to save him in the air raid bombardment of the Shina Army just now.
The city is littered with ruins, wooden houses are on fire, and the Japanese are screaming for help.
The whole of Fukuoka is like a miserable scene of the end of the world.
When several firefighters and police arrived, Kamei pushed them away and left on his own like a dead man, holding his brother's body.
……………………
Busan, the headquarters of the Japanese army in Korea.
Okamura Ninji was answering the phone, the call was from the front, the battle was good, they defeated several attacks of the Chinese army, and also destroyed a lot of tanks.
Okamura Ninji's heart that had been hanging was also slightly relaxed, and the Busan Defense Line, which he had high hopes for, finally played its due role.
As long as the Busan defense line can hold out for three to five days, as soon as reinforcements arrive, he can rest easy.
According to the current situation, it is not a problem for the Busan defense line to hold on for ten days and half a month.
Okamura Ninji's mood can be described as quite good, and he just put down the phone with great interest.
I was attracted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Looking up, I saw that the person who came was his chief of staff, Goro Sakurada, his face was heavy, and his steps were hurried, seeing this, Okamura Ninji couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could it be that something bad had happened again?
Okamura Ninji was confused, and took the initiative to ask, "Sakurada-kun, you are so anxious, what happened?" "Okamura Ninji can't think of it right now. Where could something worse happen, because he had lost 90 percent of the entire Goryeo Peninsula, and only a corner of Busan remained.
The Busan Line successfully withstood the attack of the Northeast Frontier Army, so what could be wrong?
Sakurada Goro jerked his feet in salute and replied, "Your Excellency the Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the base camp. ”
"Base camp? How so? Okamura Ninji was even more puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
Sakurada Goro paused with a sad face, looked up and said word by word: "The base camp called and said that Kyushu Island was attacked by the people of China two hours ago!" ”
"What?" Okamura stood up in surprise. With a shocked face, he said, "Sakurada-kun, what did you say?" The island of Kyushu was attacked by the people of China? This, how is this possible? And what about our air defense forces? And what about our naval combined fleet? What do they eat? ”
"General, it's true. Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima on the island of Kyushu were bombed by the Shina Army almost simultaneously, and our soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. The exact number is still being counted.
At that time, the people in the three places were sending off the newly recruited warriors, so the casualty figure must not be too small, except for the urban area. The Chinese air force also attacked one port and two air bases. Sakurada Goro lowered his head and said sadly: "As for the combined fleet of the Navy and the air defense forces, the former failed to detect it in time and naturally could not intercept it, and the latter was caught off guard and could not take effective precautions at all." ”
"In other words, these people attacked our homeland at the cost of zero losses?" The corners of Okamura Ninji's mouth couldn't help twitching, and the green tendons clenched in his fists burst out.
Sakurada Goro nodded and said, "It should be, at least I haven't received any news about shooting down the fighter plane of the Shina Army yet." ”
"Yaga Tooth Road! How can this be justified, the hateful people of China can threaten our homeland?! It's incredible! Okamura roared in anger.
Sakurada Gorou waited for him to finish roaring, and said cautiously: "General, there is one more thing, the base camp said in the telegram that because our homeland is already under the threat of air raids by the Chinese people, and the air raid on the Kyushu area is seriously damaged, the 30,000 imperial army reinforcements originally assembled in the Kyushu area have to change the departure time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to rush in reinforcements within two days, that is, we can only get reinforcements of 20,000 reinforcements at most." ”
Okamura Ninji was furious when he heard this, and angrily pulled out his Emperor's Imperial Sword and slashed at the corner of his desk, and the sharp saber neatly cut off a large piece of the corner of the table.
Okamura Ninji was still angry, kicked the desk to the ground again, and slashed a few times.
It wasn't until he vented that Sakurada Goro persuaded in time: "Your Excellency General, please calm your anger, everything is important to the overall situation!" ”
After Okamura Ninji vented, his anger had been slightly relieved, and after the saber was withdrawn, he said coldly: "Restore the power to the base camp, now the people of China have continuously attacked and advanced thousands of kilometers, and its momentum is already the end of the strong bow This battle continues, and the victory must belong to our Japanese Imperial Army, and the minister Okamura Ninji is willing to lead 30,000 imperial soldiers to stick to Busan, and urgently need to rush to help, in order to ensure the victory of the battle of Busan and even the Goryeo Peninsula, please send reinforcements to the base camp quickly, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and recapture the Goryeo Peninsula and Manchuria." ”
"Hay!" Sakurada Goro bowed his head abruptly in response, and then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.
…………………………
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had just crossed the Han River with the guard battalion and were refueling the convoy in Seoul.
Guo Zhongxing rushed over, saluted and reported: "Headquarters, Staff, our air raid has been successful." ”
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were overjoyed when they heard this, and Zhang Xinghan asked with concern: "How about the casualties and losses of our air force?" ”
"There were no casualties." Guo Zhong replied.
"Great, their attack this time is a historic breakthrough, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of shock the Japanese militarists, who have always claimed to be invincible, will have." Jiang Baili said excitedly.
Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, you send another telegram to Gao Zhihang, order him, send a reconnaissance plane to immediately conduct a large-scale reconnaissance of the range of 300 nautical miles in the Korean Strait, and once the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet are discovered, immediately dispatch fighters to attack." ”
"Soza, are you worried about Japanese reinforcements?" Jiang Baili suddenly asked.
"Yes, the Japanese on the Goryeo Peninsula are now compressed by us to the small land of Busan, and if the Japanese don't want to give up easily, they will inevitably send reinforcements to Busan." Zhang Xinghan nodded.
"However, the Korean Strait is so big, and even if we can send fighter planes to blockade and attack during the day, there will still be night." Jiang Baili muttered with some concern: "I don't think it's better to send the air force to carry out a careful aerial reconnaissance operation in the Korean Strait on the one hand, and on the other hand, immediately dispatch the air force to bomb the port of Busan as much as possible, and it is best to destroy all the dock facilities of the Japanese." ”
"Well, this is a good proposal, as for the blockade of the Korean Strait, we can only do our best." Zhang Xinghan said: "Because the most important thing is that we still have to break through the Japanese defense line in Busan as soon as possible, as long as the remnants of the Japanese army in Busan are annihilated, everything will be solved." ”
Seeing Guo Zhong take the order to leave, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said, "Okay, without further ado, let's set off quickly and reach the front line in Busan as soon as possible." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xinghan took the lead in getting into an armored personnel carrier, and Jiang Baili nodded and bent down to follow.
When Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived at the front line in Busan with the guard battalion, the main forces of the Southern Route Army also completed the entire occupation of the entire area south of the Han River except Busan, and after leaving behind the necessary defenders, the troops rushed to Daegu one after another.
So far, the Northeast Frontier Army has gathered more than 120,000 troops on the Pusan front, and the other 50,000 troops have been stationed in various places south of the Han River, of which Incheon and Seoul have the largest garrisons, with a full 20,000 troops.
Compared with the Japanese army's strength of less than 40,000 troops, it was four to one, and it had a staggering number of tanks and fighting vehicles, three heavy artillery brigades, and a powerful artillery group composed of five howitzer regiments directly under the division.
In addition to this, it also has absolute air supremacy and air fire support.
When Zhang Xinghan arrived in Daegu, Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng handed over the command of the front to Feng Zhanhai and returned to Daegu early to greet him.
As soon as they met, Gao Chu lowered his head in shame: "Commander, Counselor, humble and incompetent, please punish you!" ”
"Okay, don't give Lao Tzu this set, let's talk about what to do after this battle." Zhang Xinghan reprimanded with a straight face, and then said: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and follow Lao Tzu in the car, and introduce me to the situation on the front line as soon as possible, I will go to the front line to command." ”
Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got into the car.
Zhang Xinghan set out with the guard battalion, Wang Yizhe stayed in Seoul, and Zhao Zhenfan and Liu Jianguo became the supreme military commanders of Daegu.
In the armored personnel carrier in which Zhang Xinghan was riding, after listening to Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng's report on the map on 1510, Zhang Xinghan's face couldn't help but become solemn.
"According to what you say, the terrain on the outskirts of Busan is really not conducive to the development of our army's advantages." Zhang Xinghan groaned: "It seems that we have to use our paratrooper brigade this time." (To be continued......)
