The two silver boiled fighters flew in formation. Instead of pursuing the military reconnaissance plane that was hurrying eastward, the www.biquge.info lowered its altitude, circled two large circles in mid-air, and flew eastward instead.

Immediately after that, two destroyers with blue sky and white sun emblems quickly entered the sky above the ground troops and flew northward, and did not seem to see the southbound troops on the ground that were particularly conspicuous against the white snow.

Two more destroyers followed, one of them circled, lowered its course, slowly lowered its flight altitude from the northern airspace, dropped a small orange umbrella bag at an altitude of about 300 meters, and then instigated two wings and rose high again to the air.

In less than a minute, Baita Town, four kilometers away to the south, suddenly rose high explosion smoke and intense firelight, and the violent continuous explosion sound shook the mountain, and the 7,000 soldiers four kilometers away were actually alarmed, and all of them subconsciously stopped their pace of advancement, looking at the red sky of Baita Town in the south, and were dumbfounded, the power of the new high-power aerial bombs and incendiary bombs was really amazing.

A war horse galloped back from the front team, and the lieutenant colonel in charge of the rear of the palace handed over the orange air communication bag to the chief of staff Liang Zhenyu on the horse:

"Report to the chief of staff, this was dropped by the low-flying plane of our army just now, and the subordinates clearly saw that the fuselage number was concave. Number. ”

"Roger, return!"

"Yes!"

Liang Zhenyu opened the olive-shaped delicate leather bag, took out the neatly folded drawing paper, threw the leather bag to the adjutant behind him, opened the drawing paper and looked at it carefully, and said to Gu Changfeng while watching:

"Division, this is the map cast by Lieutenant Colonel Liu Ziyun, the captain of the 11th Brigade of my Air Force, which marks the defensive layout of the Japanese army two kilometers north of Baita Town, and more importantly, a wing of the Japanese army in Jianchang has come from the east, and it is about eight kilometers away from our army, please see the division, the label is very detailed, and there is an explanation, Brother Ziyun is really powerful, no wonder the commander has been with him for just two months, and he has appointed him as the captain of the 11th Aviation Brigade."

"You are wrong, they have been together for more than two months, and Liu Ziyun has given the commander a special plane for half a year.

Gu Changfeng took the map and read it, nodded with satisfaction, and handed it to Yang Jiuxiao beside him: "Brother Jiu, you can also take a look, think about it after reading it, whether we should turn around immediately." ”

Yang Jiuxiao smiled indifferently and said resolutely: "Don't look at it, it is recommended that a regiment and a machine gun battalion advance to Baita Town in front continue to advance, beat the Japanese army two kilometers north of the town, attract the attention of the enemy, and then turn around to chase after our brigade." Now it's almost night, let's find a place to shelter from the wind and snow to rest, and when the battle in the north of Baita Town starts, it will be completely dark, and the enemy reconnaissance team has not dared to approach, and we can't figure out our movements. When the enemy is mobilized by us, it is not too late for us to move. ”

"Good!"

Gu Changfeng did not hesitate, and immediately instructed the herald to convey the order for the next move, turned over and dismounted, took out a telescope and looked at the direction of Jianchang from afar, from the faintly flickering red light in the distant sky, he deduced that the intensity of the aerial bombardment suffered by the Japanese army in Jianchang was definitely not lower than that of the Japanese army in Baita Town.

Ni Zhiqiang rode on a horse, held a telescope and looked at the sky, and sighed: "It's good to have air support!" I didn't expect Little Japan to be attacked by air raids, ***, it's really hateful! Haha"

Yang Jiuxiao, who dismounted to smoke, walked to Gu Changfeng's side and asked curiously, "Tiger Head, how many planes does our Eleventh Aviation Brigade have?" ”

Gu Changfeng put away the binoculars, took the homemade Mohe cigarette handed by Yang Jiuxiao, lit it and took a sharp puff, and slowly exhaled the spicy smoke:

"Although the aviation unit of our Anjia Army is also the official number awarded by the Central Military Commission, outsiders who don't know it think that they are directly under the leadership of the Aviation Administration of the Central Military Commission, but in fact, we are self-contained, and our establishment and equipment are completely different from the Central Army, called the brigade, in fact, there have been a lot of formations.

"Since last year's 129 Great War after the heavy losses of our fighters, the commander gritted his teeth and focused on the construction of two troops, one is the aviation with two brigade numbers, and the other is Tu Zhirong's air defense anti-aircraft artillery brigade. An aviation brigade of the Central Army has about 24 warplanes, and the vast majority of them only have 18 planes, and they are divided into various categories, and they are divided into expulsion, bombing, reconnaissance, surveying and mapping, and transportation brigades.

"When the commander saw this situation, he kept it in mind and divided each of our aviation brigades into six squadrons according to their functions and operational requirements, which were jointly commanded by the group leader, chief of staff, and advisory group, and each brigade had 48 fighters of various kinds, which was much more awesome than the central aviation brigade."

"I didn't expect the commander to be so willing to pay for it, thinking of the more than 200 planes that were easily occupied by small Japan without resistance in 918, my heart is like a knife cut, and now it seems that only the commander is the real man, and only the Anjia Army is the steel backbone of Baojia County!" Yang Jiuxiao sighed very much.

Gu Changfeng said with a smile: "Our An Jiajun are all well-known iron men, Ninth Brother, aren't you and all the soldiers of the Duer Division also a member of our Anjia Army now?" ”

The surrounding generals were stunned for a moment, and then burst into happy laughter, Yang Jiuxiao touched his beard, thinking about the number of the independent second division on his head, and smiled happily.

Gu Changfeng saw that there was time, and then introduced: "The two brigades participating in the war this time only dispatched half of the fighters, so that the armies and the Japanese think that our aviation brigade is also the same as the Central Army, in fact, this time the fighters of the two brigades left in the garrison are estimated to have flown over, but they are scattered at different airports in the rear of North China, and they can fly to Baoding or Beiping at any time as needed, so as to replenish the battle damage in time and assist in the operation, which is the reason why the Japanese army has 19 planes and only six self-losses in more than a month.

"Of course, our planes are more advanced than those of small Japan, and the planes of the Kwantung Army are basically those old planes of the former Northeast Army, but our planes were bought back from Germany and the United States at a great price last year, and even the two aviation schools in Xiangxi and Syria have no less than 20 planes of various latest models for teaching and training.

Ni Zhiqiang asked unsatisfactorily: "I listened to Zhenyu just now" The pilot of Han Yan is the captain of the Tenth Aviation Brigade, seeing him flying so low when he was in Tianchi Bian Jian, I really sweated for him at that time, this skill is really good! ”

Gu Changfeng explained: "Liu Ziyun is from Huaqiao, who came back from studying in the United States, and Lin Fei, the colonel captain of the 12th Aviation Brigade, is a classmate, and both families are overseas Chinese who lived in Nanyang on their ancestors, this guy is only twenty-three years old this year, but he already has seven years of flying experience.

As soon as Lin Fei's telegram went, this kid immediately took a ship to Shanghai, and Lin Fei personally drove the latest American fighter plane to pick him up in Shanghai. At that time, I was next to the commander in the name of the General Staff Headquarters when he reported to the Aviation Administration and issued the order for the plane to be on duty, and held a reception banquet for Liu Ziyun in Lao Nanchang that night. When we first met, we saw him so young, and the commander and I were very surprised, but I didn't expect this guy to be very old, and he spoke politely, but his accent was a little weird.

"Soon after, the captain Huang Yuyi, who was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, was ordered to set up an aviation command, so he transferred this kid to the commander to open a special plane, often Liu Ziyun was the captain, and the commander was the first officer, and after half a year, the commander said no, it was a waste to keep Liu Ziyun, who was highly skilled and wanted to drive a fighter all day long with little Japan, to stay by his side, so he was transferred to the 11th Aviation Brigade and was exceptionally promoted to the captain, and the original captain Gan Buyun was promoted to the deputy commander of the aviation command and went to be Huang Yuyi's assistant, haha!"

While the brothers were laughing and talking, there was a dense blast of mortar fire to the south, followed by the sound of machine gunfire. Gu Changfeng glanced at the dark and dreary sky, and felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately waved his hand, and the order was issued: "All listen to the order: turn around and move north, all advance, after half an hour, the whole army will remain silent, and the people will be in the mouth of the Mahler, follow the preset mark of the vanguard troops, and advance in an orderly manner!" ”

"Yes!"

At 7:10 p.m., Jianchang City, the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the division, Itamoto Uemon, stood on the platform on the roof on the left side of the headquarters with a pale face, and the generals stood silently behind the board itself, looking at the raging fire of the Qiandian military camp in the east of the city, listening to the struggle, sorrow and confusion from time to time, and feeling that the anger burning in their hearts almost melted them.

After a long time, Itamoto Uemon shook his head and sighed quietly: "This beautiful barracks expanded on the basis of the original Manchu army barracks has since died out" After speaking, he didn't look back, strode to the staircase, and the generals immediately followed behind him and hurried downstairs.

Under the repeated ravages of more than 100 high-powered bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by six Junker bombers, only two guns remained intact of an artillery brigade of the Sixth Division stationed here.

What made the generals of the Sixth Division even more angry was that the 23rd Wing, which was quietly detouring north and preparing to attack Gu Changfeng's division from east to west, was also bombed indiscriminately by more than 10 Chinese fighters that suddenly appeared.

When he returned to the headquarters, the generals were still talking a lot, and they had great opinions about the aviation units of the Kwantung Army, and Senior Captain Koizumi Huangya of the Eighth Engineer Brigade, which was attached to the Sixth Division, asked angrily: "What are the aviation units doing?" ”

Chief of Staff Yoshira Sasaki scolded loudly: "Koizumi-kun, now is not the time for you to be angry!" Ladies and gentlemen, everyone thinks that our air force is far superior to the Chinese army in terms of the number of fighters and combat experience, but in the air battle of more than a month, our air force has been severely challenged by the China Air Force, and the number of fighters they have, as well as the advanced performance of the fighters, and the flexibility and changeability of their combat methods, have far exceeded our expectations and brought considerable losses to our air force.

"Due to the current freezing of the Bohai Sea, the two aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi are unable to come to help in the war, and the bureaucrats of the domestic military department are all high above the top, thinking that the existing 200-odd battered fighters in China are not at all the opponents of the major units of our Kwantung Army Aviation Command, and they have never sent new fighters with excellent performance to Manchuria to help in the war, with the result that although our army has an absolute superiority in numbers, it is very passive because of the backward performance of the fighters.

"But the most important thing is. The current warplanes of our army, as well as the facilities of the existing airfields, could not guarantee the night take-off and landing of the fighters, but the two air groups in China did, and they did it with the great help of the Germans and the Americans, so they dared to strike at us frequently around dawn and at nightfall.

"In such conditions, we should not blame the aviation command, but self-reflection! Ladies and gentlemen, please ask yourself, an enemy army of less than 10,000 people is already surrounded by tens of thousands of our soldiers, we can't quickly annihilate them, but instead blame the air force, is it reasonable? Ladies and gentlemen, where is the spirit of the 6th Army of the Great Japanese Empire in you? What is your bushido spirit? ”

"Hi Yi"

A group of generals all bent down, bowed their heads and were extremely ashamed, and the division commander Itamoto Uemon nodded to Sasaki with great satisfaction, forcibly suppressed his anger, and analyzed the battle situation in a very calm tone:

The 45th Wing in front of the front received an urgent report from Zhuanjun, and after being attacked by an air raid, it was again fiercely attacked by about two regiments of the enemy, and it was judged that the enemy wanted to break through its defensive line, break through to the south, and urgently ask for reinforcements.

"Although I sent the Nagashima Brigade to reinforce it, I do not believe that the enemy will necessarily break through from the direction of Baita, and I make this judgment because we are facing the strongest force in China with strong fighting and strong will, and excellent commanders!

"Therefore, I order: immediately call the 11th Brigade of Ronglaqin, order its Eagle Wing stationed in Nanshao Town to fire south, and if the enemy feints to attack the south and flees to the north, give the enemy a head-on attack, and if the enemy really wants to break through and flee south, give a fierce flanking attack! At the same time, the order: The 23rd Wing immediately abandoned the defensive, braved the enemy's artillery fire, and bravely rushed forward, I do not believe that the 6th Army of the Japanese Empire could not defeat the Shina people. Gentlemen, let's work together! ”

"Hi Yi"
