Compared with Hanzhuang's air support, the sky over Taierzhuang was even more upside down at this time, and it was the first time that the troops participating in the entire Taierzhuang Campaign saw such a number of planes taking off above their heads, and a huge fleet of hundreds of sorties patrolling back and forth in the air.

Whether it was Sun Lianzhong or Tang Enbo, it was the first time that they felt the benefits of being fully protected by their own fleet in the sky. Although there were more Japanese planes overhead than in the past, I saw that those planes of the Northwest Air Force were staging a fierce battle that was not inferior to that on the ground.

"Red wolf, red wolf, five o'clock, two animals. Turn towards the black bear, and I'll cover you. Xiao Yun's slightly flat voice was transmitted from the communication equipment to the ears of his comrades.

"Roger!" The pilot, codenamed Red Wolf, responded.

Xiao Yun piloted the plane, carefully watching the movements of the enemy plane. Seeing that one of the two enemy planes had shifted its attention elsewhere, Xiao Yun pulled the joystick. The fighter plane accelerated abruptly, and rushed towards the other plane at an extremely tricky angle, and the gap between the two sides was rapidly narrowing.

"Grass egg, what does Xiao Yun want to do? Come back! ”

After Chen Zhipeng saw Xiao Yun's actions, he was immediately furious, since Xiao Yun entered the flight team, Chen Zhipeng wiped his butt several times. Without his cover, Xiao Yun would have been shot down by Japanese planes at least more than ten times. After several months of fighting, they made three forced landings and lost a valuable Wyvern fighter. Out of the need to fight for himself, Chen Zhipeng kicked Xiao Yun out and replaced his wingman. For Xiao Yun, a guy who comes out with some moths from time to time, let others worry about it.

However, Chen Zhipeng, who originally thought that he would transfer Xiao Yun out of the wingman, thought that he could save his worries, but after seeing Xiao Yun's quick and reckless move of going straight to the enemy plane, Chen Zhipeng couldn't help but curse again.

"Die!" When the Japanese pilots saw the rapidly approaching enemy plane, they opened fire without hesitation.

But at the same time as the Japanese pilots were smiling. The Flying Dragon 2 fighter piloted by Xiao Yun suddenly rolled sideways, and then quickly climbed.

"No!" After seeing that the enemy plane had easily avoided the bullets fired by it, the Japanese plane crew screamed in despair.

Da-da-da

After the two sides approached a dangerous distance, Xiao Yun decisively attacked.

The bullets swept all the way from the fuselage of the Japanese aircraft to the cockpit. The pilot who was shot was no longer able to control his plane, and the 95-Type lost control and cut a straight line in the air and fell to the ground.

"This kid." Chen Zhipeng breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be just a false alarm. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart that Xiao Yun was too bold, and he was so close to attack at such a close distance. Once the attack is unsuccessful, it will be very disadvantageous to himself, and the two sides will be entangled in close proximity, and even experienced pilots can easily capsize in the gutter.

"Hit!" Xiao Yun felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this was the second Japanese plane he shot down. Several near-deaths in air combat, as well as some useful and useless attacks, flashed through his mind like a movie. Summing up the previous experience, Xiao Yun had a realization in his heart, maybe air combat does not need to be around in the distance and attack as the instructor said. Although it is dangerous to hit when it is close, as long as the attack is accurate enough. After the attack, a considerable part of those seemingly fatal threats can be avoided. And the accuracy of the attack can be greatly improved.

Da-da-da

This time, Xiao Yun attacked a Japanese bomber. Just like the previous offensive thinking, of course, before the attack, careful observation of nearby enemy planes is indispensable. Although he has some understanding of air combat in his heart, it does not mean that he can really find another way now.

"This kid, something is different." As one of the few aces in the Northwest Air Force, Chen Zhipeng soon discovered Xiao Yun's abnormality. actually killed two Japanese planes in an air battle, which completely changed his opinion of Xiao Yun.

More than 100 or so planes fought back and forth in the air, and all kinds of planes sometimes rolled, sometimes dived, and sometimes climbed, and staged an incomparably fierce scene above the heads of the ground troops of China and Japan.

From time to time, planes in the sky fall straight down from the sky like dumplings.

"Well played!" Although the battle on the ground was still scorching at this time, the soldiers of the national * army on the ground were cheering with earth-shattering. Even if the Japanese artillery fire was still fierce at this time, even if they were still facing the superiority of the Japanese army's firepower, watching many Japanese planes flying in the air in embarrassment, this feeling was unprecedented since the start of the war.

"Little devils, you also have today!" Another Japanese fighter plane painted with a plaster flag was seen crashing to the ground. These soldiers of the Nationalist Army, who had eaten enough of the losses of the Japanese planes, gritted their teeth one after another, and at the same time felt a burst of hearty happiness.

At this time, all the ground forces of the Nationalist Army did not realize that the Northwest Air Force was like a pair of strong hands, holding up the sky above their heads.

"Kill!" In the whole Taierzhuang, the morale of the soldiers of the National * Army was like a rainbow, and they launched the most fierce counterattack against the Japanese army in various streets. On almost all positions, the defenders can be seen counterattacking. Whether it was Sakamoto, the Taierzhuang Dispatch Army, or the Seya Detachment, they all felt unprecedented pressure at this time.

Qiang

At the same time as the Japanese firepower weakened, part of the defenders even rushed to the positions of the Sakamoto detachment and engaged in a tragic hand-to-hand combat. It was also one of the few times that the defenders were able to break through the blockade and reach the Japanese positions in a large number of regular encounters.

After the temporary merger of the Western Northwest Air Force and the Central Military Air Force, more than 36 bombers bombed the Sakamoto and Seya detachments. At the same time that the Japanese Sakamoto detachment and the defenders were fighting head-on, the relatively surplus strength of the 20th Army completely cut off the connection between the Japanese Sakamoto detachment and the rear. At this time, food and ammunition could no longer be obtained from the 5th Division on the Linyi side. Therefore, the Sakamoto detachment had to be cheeky to ask the Seya detachment for supplies.

That night, the Sakamoto detachment ordered to begin a retreat, but at this time there were more than a dozen national * army divisions on the periphery alone. At this time, the Japanese army had lost absolute air supremacy, and the ammunition and food supply of the Japanese army in the encirclement had also begun to become tight, and the situation was already very serious for the Japanese army.

"Baga, ammunition, ammunition, do I have enough ammunition on my side?" Only then did he give a part to the Sakamoto detachment, and Seya Kai received a request for help from the Taierzhuang dispatch army. Seya Kai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows angrily. He still has some ammunition on his side, but the extremely important fuel, but because the Hanzhuang railway station was occupied by the enemy, the fuel that should have been transported to the detachment was interrupted, and the limited oil in his hand was almost bottomed out at this time, and there was not a single tank in his hand at this time, or the armored car was full of fuel. Otherwise, it would not have been so hard to support the counteroffensive of the national * army during the day.

At this time, the Zhina Army had already entered the mud ditch, near the west of Zhangshan, and at the same time, the number of the Central Army of Zhina also appeared in the area of Zhangloudi. And the Sakamoto detachment is now surrounded on three sides in the Xingjialou, Dagushan area. They are going to leave tonight. The situation on the side of the Taierzhuang Dispatch Army is no better than that of the Sakamoto detachment, and the current division headquarters ordered our department to maintain the current situation for the time being, and then break through after the main force is reinforced. The staff officer next to him said with a calm face.

"Maintain the current situation for the time being? How to maintain? The dozens of tanks in our hands don't even have enough gasoline now, if the main force of the Zhina Army comes over tomorrow, will the soldiers of the detachment retreat with those steel coffins? Seya Kai's face was hideous, and it was the first time he had encountered such a difficult situation since he entered the Republic of China to fight.

"But what about the orders from the divisional troops? Also, those tanks and armored vehicles are waiting for the fuel to be transported from behind, and now they are withdrawn, but they can't be completely transported. ”

The staff officer hesitated. The reason why Ryosuke Isoya gave such an order was naturally not so selfless as to abandon the troops under his command to complete Sakagaki Seishiro. THE REASON IS THAT THE SEYA DETACHMENT HAS DOZENS OF TANKS, ARMORED VEHICLES, AS WELL AS 2 155MM HEAVY GUNS, VARIOUS TYPES OF ARTILLERY, AND AMMUNITION IS TEMPORARILY RELATIVE TO THE SAKAMOTO DETACHMENT, AND THE TAIERZHUANG DISPATCH ARMY IS ALSO THE MOST SUFFICIENT.

"It's perfunctory, let us maintain it, is it possible that when the Sakamoto detachment withdraws from the encirclement, will we all sacrifice our lives for the emperor here? Taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Zhina army has not yet been completely combined, we must seize this only opportunity to withdraw, otherwise it will be too late to leave. Seya Kai snorted, covering the Sakamoto detachment, but they used their own lives in the back, he couldn't do this kind of thing, people don't do it for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

"As for those tanks, armored vehicles. There is really no way to use all the oil that can be used, so I will blow it up by myself and leave it to the Chinese army. Seya Kai took a breath, if the main force of the front army could really break through the enemy's obstruction and fight with them in Taierzhuang, there would have been a battle report coming. Now they are almost still standing still, and there is a lot of resistance to it. Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan.

In the dark night, the artillery that was too high was raised, and the Japanese soldiers around them looked depressed, throwing corpses or quilts into the fire. The retreat is imminent, so there is no such thing at all. As for the corpses of comrades-in-arms, there is no way to take them away.

"Shitian-kun, let's go." The soldier with a scar on his forehead next to him pulled his comrade next to him. Looking at the familiar tanks in front of me, my eyes were full of reluctance.

Rumble! In the sound of explosions, six of the dozen tanks were engulfed in flames. After the other few shook, the head sparked and it didn't take long for it to go out. Although the destruction was not complete, but the pressure from above was tight, and the sound of gunfire in the distance was incessant, and the national * army was not idle at night, trying with all its might to compress their front, and they had to go.

The Japanese troops in the brigade were dejected and drifted away in the light of the burning fire.

After the Sakamoto detachment learned that the Laigu detachment had taken the lead in fleeing north, it also accelerated its flight north that night. It's just that the Sakamoto detachment originally wanted to move to the northeast and join the main force of the 5th Division in Linyi, but at this time the northeast direction has been blocked by the main force of the 20th Army, and with the strength of the Sakamoto detachment at this time, it no longer has the strength to fight head-on with the main force of the 20th Army Corps. As a last resort, the Sakamoto detachment had no choice but to move to the northwest and retreat in the direction in which the Seya detachment had withdrawn. Move closer to the troops of the 10th Division.

The movements of a large number of Japanese troops could not be concealed from the ears and eyes of Li Zongren, the commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, and when he learned that most of the Japanese troops had fled north, Li Zongren immediately issued an order to pursue, seeing that the main force of the Japanese army in front of Taierzhuang was about to flee, Li Zongren, who had given the order, was so angry that he scolded his mother, of course, the object of the scolding was Tang Enbo.

"Tang Enbo, take your mother, if it weren't for the dog's *day* delay, why wouldn't it be like this. In this battle, if Seya and Sakamoto's detachment escape, Lao Tzu will fight in the ring to Wuhan, and he will also splash his face! Li Zongren was so angry that he tore the telegram in his hand to shreds.

"Okay, don't be angry, Tang Enbo is a close confidant of someone Jiang, and he is also capable, even if he is not right with us, someone Jiang may not necessarily be able to clean him up." Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Finally, the Japanese army has not all escaped, and the encirclement will be closed later, and this toss is not in vain." Besides, the retreat of the Seya detachment may not be so smooth, we can't transfer troops now, but there is a force that should be able to fill this gap. ”

"Which army?" Li Zongren frowned and said, in the military, sometimes Bai Chongxi still has some advantages, he and Bai Chongxi are the leaders of the Gui family, and in the past, Bai Chongxi has always been his strong pillar in the military.

"Naturally, the slogan has been shouted for a long time, and the Northwest Army has not even seen the ghost shadow. They were supposed to appear in Taierzhuang, but the result was a false shot, with the advance speed of the Northwest Army, even if they are not stopped by the Japanese army's retreat now, it should not be difficult to catch up with this Japanese army. During this time, I have studied the past combat records of the Northwest Army, and there are not a few military trucks used in their battles and long-distance raids. ”

"Okay, so our plan hasn't been ruined yet."

Gotta get it

The cavalry of the brigade advanced rapidly under the leadership of the local villagers, and the moon stars were scarce, and by the moonlight, the speed of the thousands of cavalry was not slow.

"Quick, quick!" In the back, there are the trucks of the brigade.

Syllable! As the back of the truck opened, the soldiers jumped down from it one by one like dumplings. In the dark, the lights are blazing.

"Ge Laozi, I finally got ahead of the Japanese army, hurry up, bring the machine gun down, I don't know when these little devils will be killed. There is an order from the division, since we went out of Sichuan, we have eaten and drunk all the way, and we have clothes and quilts. But until now, I haven't made an inch, and I have been training in Henan for a long time, at this juncture, if anyone drags his feet and pulls, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

"Tuanzao, don't worry, the army has been in charge for a few months, if you don't kill a few devils, you won't be able to raise your head when you return to Sichuan." The soldiers next to him should drink one after another. (To be continued.) )
