The first to start the battle to defend Fengtian was the first regiment of the Volunteer Air Force, although this regiment is still being formed, Gao Zhihang still has some real materials, in order to live up to Long Yuntian's trust, he is determined to blow up the artillery of the 15th brigade. Therefore, Gao Zhihang first sent a reconnaissance plane to understand www.biquge.info the enemy's situation.

Chen Haihua, deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Aviation Department, has been appointed chief of staff of the Air Force, and has been instructed by the former enemy command of the Volunteer Army to vigorously support Gao Zhihang's formation of the first regiment of the Air Force.

The first regiment of Gao Zhihang only selected more than 30 pilots, and the rest were all students recommended by Feng Yong.

Gao Zhihang knew that pilots were precious, and the Northeast Aviation Department wanted to set up three flight regiments, and the original pilots should leave some for other flight regiments, and the new flight just took this opportunity to fight in real life, which was a rare opportunity.

The Aviation Regiment, also known as the Flying Regiment, is the tactical unit of the Aviation Corps.

According to the establishment of the flight regiment, there are 3 flight groups and 1 maintenance group, and each flight group has 3 flight squadrons, and each squadron has 9~11 pilots (the bomber group is 2 squadrons, and each squadron also has an air service group). In fact, each brigade generally has 27~36 pilots.

And if Gao Zhihang's flight regiment is fully staffed, it will probably have about 100 pilots. Of course, it is certainly impossible to have full capacity now.

The Mukden Air Force was similar in strength to that of the Japanese army, and was mainly set up to deal with the Japanese air force.

The ratio of aircraft to pilots is generally 1:1.2. All aircraft are under the unified management of the regiment, and the maintenance team is responsible for maintenance. Pilots generally do not have dedicated aircraft.

At present, there are enough aircraft for the air force, and there is a shortage of qualified pilots.

In this special period, it is impossible for Gao Zhihang to divide the types of air forces too finely, fighters and bombers are mixed, and pilots are also required to be all-rounders.

Gao Zhihang's flying regiment now has only more than 30 veteran pilots, and the rest are all new pilots, and the entire flying regiment is equipped with more than 90 planes, and it is impossible for them to go out together.

Just after 9 o'clock this morning, Gao Zhihang personally piloted a plane to lead a squadron of this newly formed and not yet perfect flying regiment, and a total of 10 planes including Gao Zhihang set off.

This flying regiment was not yet a normal formation, and except for some old pilots, Gao Zhihang tried his best to let all the new pilots participate in the battle.

The planes used this time are all old-fashioned models, and they are used as a real combat training, and the other party does not have an aircraft anyway.

Gao Zhihang thought far ahead, and the planes in good condition were reserved for the future confrontation with the Japanese air force.

The commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, and the commander of the 15th Brigade, Major General Rokuro Amano, were not aware that Mukden would send planes to bomb them, and the Japanese troops were unprepared for the march.

When they heard the roar of the plane, the commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, and the brigade commander, Major General Rokuro Amano, were stunned, where did the plane come from?

The 15th Brigade was in brief confusion, but did not take precautions against air raids, mainly because they were surprised by the planes of the Northeast Army, which had never realized that the Japanese Kwantung Army would be attacked by the Northeast Army.

Gao Zhihang, on the other hand, would not give them a chance, and confidently led the flight formation to attack the Japanese artillery.

"Boom--boom--boom--"

The Volunteer Flying Team flew by at a low altitude, and the bombs were continuously dropped on the ranks of the enemy artillery, and the explosions of the planes followed one after another.

Although the planes are old, most of the pilots who participated in the battle are cadets, and their hit rates are indeed not good, but there are many planes that cannot be supported.

The front dropped aerial bombs, pulled up the planes, and the rear swooped down, bombing along the ranks of the artillerymen.

Explosions came and went, aircraft engines roared incessantly, and all the planes were aimed at the artillery.

The marching formation of the 15th Brigade stopped, but it did not dodge, and they all stood at a distance and watched the position of the artillerymen, and they became observers.

Suddenly hit by an air blow, Major General Rokuro Amano couldn't help but shudder when he saw the direction of the explosion, it's over, my artillery.

Not only the commanders of Japanese divisions and brigades knew that their artillery was finished, but even the soldiers of the Japanese army knew that artillery would not be spared under such bombardment.

True, during the march the bulky artillery could not hide from the aerial bombardment, the target was too obvious.

Coupled with Gao Zhihang's prior estimate, it is too unlikely that he will survive by carrying out a devastating blow in a targeted manner.

Gao Zhihang looked at the masterpiece just now in the air, and was very satisfied, in the continuous bombing, the artillery unit of the 15th Brigade was almost bombed, and the other infantry could not be let go, and the aerial bombs could not be brought back, right?

Gao Zhihang shook the wings of the plane, took the lead and swooped down on the Japanese troops who were still a little stunned, bombing all the way along the long formation.

It was only then that the Japanese soldiers came to their senses and fled one after another, looking for a place to escape the bombing.

Gao Zhihang led the flight team and flew away, leaving behind a chaotic Japanese 15th Brigade and a mess after the bombing.

The air raid was lifted, and Major General Rokuro Amano hurried to check on his artillery, and in the face of a piece of bent barrels and gun racks, Major General Rokuro Amano almost couldn't control his crying.

Although a few of the guns are still in good condition, the wheels of these guns are either damaged or other parts are damaged, and they will not be repaired for a while.

Time is pressing, I really can't take care of it.

He died before he left the division, and the artillery burned and turned into slag.

Major General Rokuro Amano hated the root of his teeth in his heart, and he was only one step away from reaching Mukden, and he fell short!

Without the support of artillery, the military strength of the 15th Brigade would be greatly reduced, but thinking of the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, Major General Rokuro Amano felt a burst of contempt in his heart, and even without artillery, they would be beaten all over the ground.

Major General Rokuro Amano ordered the army to assemble and move on.

But after taking a few steps, the roar of the plane's motor was heard in the distance, and the enemy plane came again.

This time, the commander of the 15th Brigade had an eye on his mind and urgently evacuated and hid to avoid the bombing of enemy planes.

Unlike the previous time, only two planes came this time, and they dived, dropped bombs, strafed and strafed in the direction of the 15th Brigade column, then pulled up, and then dived again.

Due to the Japanese army's precautions, the effect of the gap was not good, and the enemy's casualties were only a few dozen, and the fighters flew away after the ammunition was consumed.

The commanders of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, and Major General Rokuro Noda got up from the ground, patted the dust on their bodies, and breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the planes in the distance.

After all, the casualties were not large, and the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Tamonjiro, and the brigade commander, Major General Rokuro Noda, did not realize how serious the situation was, and gathered their troops to continue their advance towards Mukden City.

But the problem was not over, as the 15th Brigade had just begun to advance, the roar of planes could be heard in the distance, and the troops that had just assembled began to evacuate and hide again.

Or two planes, repeating the same thing.

Such three times and two tosses made the commanders of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon and Major General Rokuro Noda, angry, and they saw that they were about to reach their destination, but now they are unable to move an inch, how can this be rectified?

Although the mortality rate of each bombing is not large, it adds up to a lot.

Casualties aren't the most critical thing, you always have to let us get to Mukden City, right?

The movement of this bag requires several push-ups in a row, and there are no flower girls just push-ups, isn't it in vain, is there such a toss?

The second division marched all the way to push-ups, but it was busy with energy, from the division commander Lieutenant General Domen Jiro down, everyone was gray-headed and gray-faced.

Push-ups, in addition to push-ups or push-ups, this is the rhythm of the death of the person......

Yes, Gao Zhihang just wanted to toss the Japanese army, didn't Commander Long Yuntian ask to delay the progress of the enemy army, I calculated the time to take turns to send planes to bomb, and I have the courage to let me bomb openly if you don't hide it.

Gao Zhihang's toss can make the Second Division of the Kwantung Army miserable, even if Lieutenant General Domen Jiro and Major General Noda Rokuro look up to the sky and scold, it is useless, it is still a toss.

Doesn't the Mukden Volunteers have this advantage and not play it as much as possible?

This is a rare opportunity, and once a full-scale invasion decision is made at home, this advantage will not be repeated.

After all, Japan is the power of one country, and the Mukden Volunteer Army is only an armed force that has just opened the shelf, and there is no comparison between the two sides.
