The three first-class divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army were marching northward to join the battle group attacking the Northland Volunteers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The battle was raging at the front, and the Japanese 24th and 25th Divisions were still storming the positions of the Northland Volunteers.

Due to the destruction of the artillery unit, the Japanese and Japanese Kwantung Army Command ordered the air force to support the ground troops in the operation, and the Japanese and Japanese air force fighters stationed at the Panjin airport took off urgently, and a total of eight planes flew over the battlefield.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the Beidi Volunteer Army had radar, and once the plane took off, this side had already discovered that the First Army of the Beidi Volunteer Air Force had dispatched 30 fighters at a time to intercept the Japanese air force fighters.

Although there are many fighters dispatched by the Northland Volunteers, in fact, there are only a few veteran pilots, and most of them are rookies.

Because most of these pilots were pilots trained by the Northland Volunteer Army for the Eighteenth Group Army.

The planes were provided by the Northland Volunteers, and the pilots were all carefully selected army soldiers of the 18th Group Army. The Eighteenth Army attaches great importance to this opportunity, and is a top soldier in terms of age, physical fitness, and personal consciousness.

At the same time, these pilots have all experienced the test of war.

You can understand the mood of the Eighteenth Group Army, just like a poor man who suddenly has a fortune of ten thousand yuan, can he not be ecstatic?

Feng Tian knew very well in his heart that history proved that the 18th Group Army was the ultimate victor, and their army fought very bravely, and if they wanted to achieve a decisive victory on the battlefield of resistance against Japan as soon as possible and drive the Japanese invasion army out of China as soon as possible, the only way was to unite them.

It is a bit unreliable to expect Lao Jiang, the most important thing is that Lao Jiang is too incompetent, especially the level of commanding the war is too bad.

The problem is, don't look at this guy's low level of commanding wars, and he always likes to intervene in the operational command at the front, and it is impossible not to fail.

Another important reason is that the Northern Volunteer Army and the Eighteenth Group Army are in the same northern battlefield, and it is logical for the two sides to fight together.

Feng Tian wants to cooperate with Lao Jiang, one in the north and the other in the south, and the two sides do not have a boundary.

The weapons and equipment of the Northland Volunteer Army have been replaced, and a large number of old weapons and biplanes that have been vacated are no longer used.

Of course, Feng Tian also wants to sell for some money, but unfortunately, the Eighteenth Group Army is a poor army, so poor that it is scum, where is the money for Feng Tian?

Therefore, if you want to get rich this time, there is no way, all weapons, including airplanes, are given away for nothing, and pilots must be trained for them.

It can be said that in order to achieve the victory of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fengtian spared no effort to support the 18th Group Army.

Of course, according to Feng Tian's shrewdness, the two sides did not have a statement in private, and no one believed it.

Feng Tian and the Eighteenth Group Army privately issued an agreement, and he will definitely not say it.

Moreover, this operation against Japan was not a joint operation with the 18th Group Army, which also included Yan Xishan, and the entire north formed a joint operation of the Beidi Volunteer Army, the 18th Group Army and Yan Xishan.

Feng Tian's threat of a big counteroffensive is not just a casual talk, if you don't fight, you will win, if you want to fight, you will definitely win, and it will be a blockbuster!

The new pilots of the 18th Group Army could not be called real pilots because they only relied on peacetime training and had not experienced actual combat, and this air battle just provided them with the opportunity to fight in real combat.

Of course, this is their first air battle, and it seems a bit difficult to expect them rookies to win the air battle.

This is not a problem, there is no experience in air combat, it doesn't matter if the combat effectiveness is poor, then rely on the number to win, who let us have more planes?

Thirty planes against eight planes, no matter what the level of these rookies is, the formation alone is a bit scary.

Nima, group fighting, how can this kind of battle make the Japanese Kwantung Army fight?

The number is still second, the Beidi Volunteer Army's eliminated biplane fighters, its artillery is much more advanced than the Japanese army aircraft, the range of the artillery is long, plus those rookies who have just entered the battlefield are too excited, the fighters on both sides are far apart, just entered the range of the artillery, these rookies have already fired.

Thirty fighters, even if the old pilots of the Northland Volunteer Army didn't open fire, just those rookies would be killed, and the aerial artillery fired at the opposite fighters, and the density of the aerial artillery was simply amazing.

In this case, the accuracy of the rookies does not seem to matter, so many planes always have one or two shells hit the target, and two Japanese fighters were shot down on the spot.

I don't know if these air combat rookies are excited to participate in air combat for the first time, or for other reasons, anyway, there is no tactic to speak of, the fighters rushed straight forward against the opponent, and the dense aerial artillery fired wildly.

As soon as the Japanese air force saw that the situation was not good, the opponent's fighters were several times their own, and there was really no way to fight this kind of air battle with unequal strength, and the remaining six planes would be sent to death.

Run, the rest of the fighters quickly turned around, intending to flee for their lives.

Although the Japanese fighters were about to flee for their lives, the fighters on the opposite side were not idle, and the guns were still firing, but by chance another fighter plane was hit and exploded, while the other fighter plane was injured.

It's so tragic, the Japanese pilots are all veterans and have a lot of combat experience, but they were beaten by a group of rookies.

Generally speaking, new pilots are a little timid when they go to the battlefield, or they are panicked and deviated, and it is difficult to say that they have combat effectiveness.

However, these rookies are different, although they are very brave when they go to the battlefield for the first time, because they are all outstanding elements selected from the combat units, and they have no fear of war at all, and they don't care what level the Japanese pilots on the other side are, as long as there are planes in the sky, they will fight.

Nima, this is a group of grumpy guys, and the number of them is intimidating.

The time of this air battle was very short, and the Japanese air force could not figure out the intentions of the Northland Volunteers, so they only dispatched eight fighters to test it, but three of them were shot down on the spot, leaving one wounded plane and four other planes to flee back in a hurry.

Nima, there is no such bullying, in a war, the strength of the two sides must always be equal, how can they fight in groups.

The Kwantung Army was very annoyed, the problem was serious, and under the command order, the flight teams of the Kwantung Army stationed in Panjin and Mukden took off again.

This time, instead of eight more fighters, thirty aircraft were sorted.

Hehe, is thirty planes a lot?

The Northland Volunteers are not afraid of the opponent's aircraft, there are many here, don't forget the First Army of the Northland Volunteers Aviation, the establishment of the army level.

Gao Zhihang was even more straightforward in this battle against the Japanese air force, and ordered all the new pilots of the 18th Group Army trained to participate in the operation, a total of 50 new pilots, plus 20 veteran pilots of the Beidi Volunteer Army, and 70 fighters to meet 30 Japanese fighters.

Nima, it's still a group fight!

Gao Zhihang also had another idea: instead of sending new pilots to the sky to participate in actual combat one by one, it was better to take this opportunity to complete the first battle of new pilots at one time.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, these pilots have participated in actual combat anyway.

In other words, Gao Zhihang's mission was completed, and the pilots of the 18th Army could return to their own flight bases.

Gao Zhihang's order was very simple, there was no tactic in this battle, just rely on numbers to win, when it came to home, it was a wolf pack tactic, and the Northland Volunteer Aviation Corps attacked the Japanese and Japanese air force fighters.

In the face of absolute superiority in forces, all conspiracies and all so-called tactics are scum.

Seventy fighters from the Northland Volunteer Army flew onto the battlefield and flew straight past against the Japanese fighters.

In this battle, the veteran pilots of the Beidi Volunteer Army Aviation Corps played the role of escort, and the pilots of the 18th Group Army took the lead and rushed straight forward.

As soon as they entered the range of the plane's guns, 50 fighters opened fire almost simultaneously, shooting down five fighters of the opposite Japanese flying team on the spot, and then, almost all of them rushed fiercely towards this fighter.

The Japanese air force was very tragic, originally thought that this time sending 30 fighters was enough, but who knew that the other side was still several times its own, and one by one, their own side had not yet opened fire, and several fighters had already been shot down.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Japanese fighters, the guns of the Northland Volunteer fighters continued to fire, and three more fighters were hit and exploded in the air.

What's the big deal about having experience in air combat, and there's nothing great about the old pilots, the rookies are extremely fierce, two or three planes fight together, and the aerial bombs are not cherished at all, and they continue to fire, and the two sides have not yet fought in close combat, and the Japanese fighters have lost a small half.

The Japanese flying team wanted to cry without tears, and if they didn't bully people like this, they were beaten again.

The fighters of the Japanese air force were already a little afraid of war, and each took mobile measures to avoid it, and the formation would definitely not be maintained.

And those rookies didn't care how the other side evaded, all of them were on a rampage, two or three fighters bit a Japanese fighter plane, and the guns opened fire fiercely until the opponent was shot down.

The surviving Japanese fighters were reduced again, and this kind of air combat could not be fought, and their so-called evasion actually ended up flying backwards, in a delusional attempt to escape from the battlefield.

The rookies of the 18th Group Army were quite brave, chasing the rear tail of the enemy planes without relaxing, and the aerial artillery did not stop firing fiercely.

There was almost no suspense in this air battle, and the Japanese air force dispatched 30 fighters, and it was good to be able to escape half of them.

The Northland Volunteer Army Aviation pursued too fiercely, and the captain saw that this was not good, should he chase it to the enemy's lair?

There is no way, hurry up and order a retreat.

The fighting on the ground continued, and the Japanese 24th and 25th Divisions dispatched a total of four wings of troops to launch an attack on the Northland Volunteers on a vast battlefield.

Originally, he thought that his side had air cover, and this attack would definitely conquer the position of the Northern Volunteers, but who thought that the aviation of the Kwantung Army would not be good, and they were severely abused by the other side and fled in embarrassment.

At this moment, the ground troops were unlucky, there was no artillery cover, no air cover, and the artillery units of the Northland Volunteer Army on the opposite side bombarded indiscriminately, causing countless casualties to the Kwantung Army.

This kind of battle is really tragic, and there is no way to go on.

The casualties of the 24th and 25th Divisions were too great, and they obviously felt that it would be difficult to win on their own, so they withdrew their troops early at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and waited for reinforcements from the rear to arrive.

In this battle, the pilots of the 18th Group Army were shot in only two planes and barely flew back to their own territory.

This air battle was the final test, they had completed all their training, and in the evening fifty pilots flew away in biplanes and returned to their Eighteenth Army.

There is still fighting ahead, and they need to support the ground operations of the Eighteenth Army.

That is, from then on, the XVIII Army had its own air force.

The pilots of the 18th Group Army excitedly flew away in the planes presented by the Beidi Volunteers, although these pilots were very bad, but after all, they were the first batch of air combat forces of the 18th Group Army.

In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, jumped like thunder, the ground forces failed in the attack, and the air force lost again, this battle swept the prestige of the Kwantung Army, how could the commander Ueda Kaneyoshi not be angry?

originally thought that the Panjin Flying Team and the Fengtian Flying Team were enough to deal with the battle situation, but who knew that the aviation of the Northland Volunteer Army was so fierce.

According to what was known at the front, the pilots of the Northland Volunteer Army Air Force were very rusty in air combat, but the number of planes dispatched was too large for the Kwantung Army Flying Corps to cope with the existing number of fighters.

Due to the fierce fighting on the Siberian battlefield, most of the aviation units went to support the Far Eastern Army, and the number of aviation units of the entire Kwantung Army was only four flying teams, which were distributed in the entire northeast and were quite a lot, so they couldn't all be concentrated on this battlefield, right?

Now it seems that the planes from other airports must be transferred, otherwise, they will not be able to deal with the huge aviation force of the Northland Volunteers.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, slapped the table and shouted: "Eight grids, they are all a bunch of waste, and they were defeated by some rookie pilots.

The Kwantung Army Aviation Corps was ordered to dispatch flying teams to participate in tomorrow's air battle, and the arrogance of the Northern Volunteers must be defeated. The 1st, 9th, and 10th Divisions must take part in the battle tomorrow and wipe out the Northland Volunteers in one fell swoop. ”

As a matter of fact, even if the aviation units of the Kwantung Army are adjusted, their number is not as large as the number of fighters of the First Army of the Northland Volunteer Army, which is far behind.

However, the Kwantung Army had so many aviation, unless seconded from other theaters of operations.

Don't think about the Far Eastern battlefield, the air battle there is even more intense, and the Japanese air force is obviously at a disadvantage, and it is impossible to agree to the demands of the Kwantung Army.

The only aviation unit that can be deployed is the aviation unit of the North River Theater.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff, suggested: "It's really not possible, let the North of the River theater send aviation to support it tomorrow, without the cover of air power, the ground troops will suffer great losses, which is not conducive to the development of the war situation." ”

"Yanxi, contact the North of the River Theater tomorrow to see if we can transfer some aviation, this Fengtian is quite capable, there are so many fighters." Admiral Ueda Kamiyoshi accepted the suggestion of Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo to increase air power by transferring air forces from the north of the river.

Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, said: "It is not surprising that it is said that the pilots and planes of Mukden were all taken over by the Beidi Volunteers, and after so many years, the Beidi Volunteers will always develop, and air power should be their strength." ”

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, also knew these things, nodded, and said with a smile: "Zhang Zuolin spent several years, or even a lifetime, to accumulate a family foundation, and suddenly cheapened this guy Fengtian. Thinking about it, Zhang Zuolin was probably restless underground, gave birth to a loser, and lost his brain, hahahaha. (To be continued.) )
