The results of the battle in Nanhuaihua were quickly counted, and the Chinese army won a remarkable victory in the sky and on the ground, and the 25 planes sent by the Japanese air force were all wiped out. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The ground troops, with the cooperation of the air, inflicted heavy losses on the attacking Japanese troops, two wings of the enemy, and a Japanese army of nearly 8,000 men, and conservatively estimated that the casualties should have exceeded 4,000 plus.

In a frontal confrontation battle, more than half of the enemy's casualties were lost, which was a very unimaginable victory, and the results were quickly fed back to Taiyuan and also spread to Nanjing for the first time.

"Okay, good, good ......" Yan Laoxi was so happy that after getting the battle report, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, this time, Shanxi can be said to be in the limelight in the whole country, don't think about it, he can make a lot of political capital.

In Nanjing, Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang were also inexplicably excited after receiving the detailed report.

"This big victory must be hyped up, and Wei Qidong, Tang Xinyi, Hao Mengling, etc. will be notified and rewarded......"

"And those officers and men of the Air Force, ......" Madame Chiang, as the commander-in-chief of the national air force, did not forget to add that as the supreme commander of the air force, she was also very happy that the air force performed well this time.

"All front-line soldiers should be commended...... The war in Shanghai was not going well, and Chairman Chiang had been in a bad mood, but this great victory could be described as timely rain, which made him very happy.

As a result, through the propaganda of the national government's propaganda agency, the first big victory in the Battle of Xinkou was quickly publicized, and the whole country was a sensation, and many people recalled the resounding names again, Wei Qidong, Tang Xinyi, Hao Mengling, and so on......

At this time, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had already returned to the base in Luliang Mountain.

Sun Yue got a bottle of red wine out of nowhere, and after opening it, he happily poured a glass for Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi.

"Cheers to our heroes, to our victory......" Sun Yue took the initiative to raise his glass.

"Kudos to you behind-the-scenes heroes, too." Tang Xinyi said.

Wei Qidong also nodded very approvingly, this big victory, without the support of Sun Yue, Song Xiaoya and all walks of life behind them, it would be impossible to achieve such a record. It has once again proved the hard truth: The united Chinese nation is completely capable of defeating an enemy stronger than itself.

Wei Qidong was simply celebrating, but on the Japanese side, it was as uncomfortable as a dead mother.

In the command headquarters, Tojo Hideki's face sank like water, he didn't expect that as soon as he took over the command, he fell hard as soon as he went out. Because of the previous defeat of Sakagaki, the North China Front Command and the Japanese base camp did not reprimand him for this defeat, but he himself felt very gloomy.

However, there is also a major reason for the defeat of the Japanese army, that is, they never calculated that Wei Qidong could participate in the battle during the day, because since the July 7 Incident, Wei Qidong has never used an aircraft to participate in the battle during the day.

In this way, the Japanese army was given the illusion that Wei Qidong's planes were not suitable for daytime operations due to slow speed and other reasons, and could only carry out night attacks with good night combat functions.

However, the Japanese army did not expect that this aircraft could not only fight during the day, but also had very powerful performance, and cooperated with the Chinese Air Force to carry out a massacre of the air force of the Imperial Japanese Army, which had never been done before. Moreover, the lethality of this plane to the ground forces was also very amazing, and the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated disastrous under the combined air-ground attack of the Chinese army.

The lesson of blood made the Japanese army realize a fact and never be self-righteous.

However, Hideki Tojo, like Sakagaki, is very arrogant, and this kind of person will not admit defeat easily, and the same is true of Hideki Tojo now, defeat has happened, and now he thinks most about how to carry out the next battle.

Although it was defeated, the Japanese army also had a lot of useful information from the process of air warfare, which was obtained at the cost of blood, and it was still very useful to them. It was with this information that Hideki Tojo made various arrangements.

It was night, and Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi got up again when they rested until about eleven o'clock.

The two quickly boarded the Apache and disappeared into the night sky in a few moments. This Apache attack was not for a night attack, but mainly for reconnaissance of the enemy.

The cautious Wei Qidong knew very well that the little devil had suffered such a big loss, it was impossible not to make changes, for the next battle, he had to know the enemy, so he took advantage of the night to investigate whether the Japanese army had any new arrangements.

At the end of October, Shanxi was still relatively cold, and the evening wind howled, covering the sound of Apache, and the night was as dark as ink, which also hid Apache's petite figure.

Apache turned off all the lights, so he flew as high as he could in order to avoid the high-powered searchlights on the Japanese position.

Although it was late at night, through the night vision equipment, Wei Qidong could still see that the Japanese position was brightly lit and busy, and he was not disturbed, but just observed carefully.

"The little devil is stepping up to move the air defense forces forward, and I haven't seen so much anti-aircraft fire during the day, it seems that the little devil has reinforced a lot of air defense equipment from the rear......"

At this moment, Wei Qidong's gaze froze, and he actually saw a few beams of flat light in the sky in the distance.

"Wow...... , little devils stepped up air patrols at night......"

"Withdraw ...... first," Wei Qidong said immediately.

Tang Xinyi raised the height of the Apache again, and then slowly withdrew to the periphery, as the Japanese defense became more and more strict, the opportunity for his side to attack became less and less.

But no matter what, Wei Qidong would not let go of any opportunity to strike, and the Apache once again landed at a position about forty or fifty kilometers away from the Japanese position.

"There is a bright light in the sky in the distance, it should be the night fighter of the little devil, if we attack here, the plane of the little devil will be able to find the target immediately." Tang Xinyi naturally knew Wei Qidong's purpose for letting Apache land here.

"We will shoot a salvo until the Apache takes off, and it will only take two or three minutes, and we will prepare first, wait for the little devil's plane to get farther away, and quickly launch an attack. Still, it's going to be fast. Wei Qidong said with a deep sigh.

Tang Xinyi nodded, but she also knew that this was a big risk, after all, with the distance of the little devil's plane from here, it would only be a few minutes away, and there could be no mistakes on her side, otherwise it would be too late to take off.

Just in case, Wei Qidong only took out two tornadoes and prepared to control one with Tang Xinyi, which would also save time. Wei Qidong first marked the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and Tang Xinyi was in charge of guarding in case the Japanese planes suddenly patrolled.

"The little devil's plane went in the other direction." Tang Xinyi had been observing carefully, and immediately said after seeing Wei Qidong calibrate the shooting Zhuyuan.

It seems that the little devil did not send a large number of night patrol aircraft, and the area that needs to be patrolled is relatively wide, which naturally has a loophole.

In fact, it was not that the Japanese army did not want to send more aircraft, but that they had only begun to develop this night aircraft, although it was the most rudimentary night fighter, but in a hurry, they could not produce much for a while.

And in order to ensure that there are aircraft patrolling for 10 hours at night, they also have to divide these night planes into multiple batches, so that the number of aircraft patrolling in each batch is smaller.
