Chapter 227: The Wandering Air Guard
Airplanes...... Airplanes...... Tweeted......
A few minutes later, the air force of the devil Anhui reached the sky above the wrong place to cross the river. Immediately after that, a slippery aerial bomb fell from the belly of the plane and landed on the boat crossing the river.
Rumble...... Whoa......
Rumble...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Yes......
Some of the aerial bombs fell into the water, blowing up columns of water several meters high. And some of the bombs were like eyes, and they fell directly on the boats crossing the river. The small ship was blown to pieces in one fell swoop, the hull was completely disintegrated, and the soldiers on board were killed and wounded, and all fell into the river. And those larger hulls, or ships made of iron, were either blown out of a large hole, or the cannonballs that were pierced were detonated, and thick black smoke began to rise.
"Hurry up, row quickly, we'll get ashore, quick."
Bang la, bla blah
The soldiers who were responsible for the frontal battle across the river plunged their guns into the water and began to work with the rowing warriors, desperately trying to make the boat go faster and reach the shore earlier.
Tweet ...... Boom Boom Boom ......
The devil's air force struck again and began a second bombardment. Again, a flurry of shells began to come towards the troops crossing the river, as if with the breath of death.
"Little devil, order all the anti-aircraft guns on the shore to be loaded onto the ship, and shoot down all the planes that I will give me."
Chen Jinghui watched with a telescope as the Devil Air Force wreaked havoc in the skies over his river-crossing troops, and he was also very anxious. In order to relieve the pressure on the troops crossing the river, he ordered all the antiaircraft guns deployed in Jiujiang to be loaded onto the ship, and he wanted to empty the river.
"Hurry, wait for our brother troops above to save our lives, load the ship quickly, quickly."
The air defense units received an order to immediately disassemble all anti-aircraft guns and transport them to the ship. Once on board, the rapid assembly begins.
"Get out of the boat, quick."
The commander of the anti-aircraft gun was in a hurry, and before the anti-aircraft guns were fully assembled, he began to urge the fighters to drive the ship and go to the area of engagement.
"Report, gun No. 1 is assembled."
"Report, number two is assembled."
……
"Okay, adjust the parameters immediately, and teach me a hard lesson, quickly."
Squeak, squeak......
The anti-aircraft artillery began to shake the guards at an adjusted angle, and the barrels made a sound as they turned.
"All a salvo, fire."
Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ......
The test projectile flew into the sky and began to explode in the area of the Devil Air Force flight. Although it didn't hit the devil's plane, the frightened devils and the pilots became vigilant.
Boom Boom Boom ...... Rumble......
After a second accurate shot, dozens of anti-aircraft guns went towards the devil's plane again. A devil plane that was dropping bombs was hit and exploded directly in the air. Because the plane was carrying aerial bombs, the power of the explosion was quite terrifying, tearing the pilot to pieces.
"Baga, pull up, pull up."
Boom Boom Boom ...... Rumble......
Seeing that some planes were hit, the commander of the Devil Air Force immediately ordered all planes to pull up and avoid the anti-aircraft artillery attack below. However, the anti-aircraft guns of the flying fox are nearly 20 years more advanced than those of the current era, and the range can be imagined, even if the devil's quick reaction is not much compared to the attack of the anti-aircraft guns. At the moment when the devil's plane rose, a plane was hit in the back, and the plane was directly blown in half. The pilot reacted just in time to parachute, and the aerial bombs scattered in the air exploded, turning him and his parachute into ashes.
"Baga, Baga, drop all the bombs and return to the home, hurry back."
The devil saw that even if they increased their flight altitude, they were still within the enemy's range. In addition, the bombs on the plane were almost gone, so the devil commander immediately ordered to return.
Tweet ...... Boom Boom Boom ......
The devil's plane opened the ambush's bomb magazine at a high altitude, dropped the last aerial bombs, and then left without looking back.
"Hurry up and land, hurry."
Seeing that the devil's plane was gone, the officers of the landing force began to shout loudly, ordering the boats on the river to seize the opportunity and quickly approach the opposite bank.
"Report, the plane of the devil in the direction of Anhui was withdrawn, and the anti-aircraft artillery unit asked if it was possible to go ashore." The Signal Corps reported.
"No, let them continue to stay on the river, and they must not dock without my order."
The battle situation is still unclear, and it is likely that the Devil Air Force will only be temporarily withdrawn. And the front line to cross the river by himself is so long, what if the devil attacks other places. As a precaution, Chen Jinghui decided to let the anti-aircraft artillery unit remain on the river and use it as an agitated air defense unit.
"Report, the Air Force reports that they are now suffering heavy losses and ask the commander to decide."
The anti-aircraft artillery unit had just been arranged, and the communications corps again brought the report of the Air Force.
As soon as Chen Jinghui saw the telegram, his face immediately sank. The Air Force reported that due to the large difference in numbers between the two sides. They've fought hard, but they're still at a disadvantage. Of the sixteen J-1 fighters that took off, nine have already been lost.
"Order the anti-aircraft artillery unit in Shangrao to move forward immediately, and order the empty troops in Nanchang to also rush to Shangrao and participate in the empty air together. In addition, Director Hu was notified to transfer the newly produced anti-aircraft guns to Nanchang. ”
Chen Jinghui pondered for a while and felt that the Air Force must not be wiped out at this moment, which would greatly affect the morale of everyone's troops.
"Order the air force units to hold out for another 10 minutes, and all of them will return after 10 minutes." Then another order was given.
"What is the situation of the troops crossing the river now?" Chen Jinghui arranged the affairs of Nanchang and began to inquire about the situation of the troops crossing the river.
"It has just been reported that the troops of the divisions have begun to land gradually, and all the troops have already been put on board." A staff officer replied.
"Okay, order the divisions, and quickly establish a defensive line after landing on the shore. When the large army has completely landed, give me the devil's defense line to be crushed in one fell swoop. Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Report, the air force unit has returned safely, and the devil's air force has also returned after the attack of the air force."
Half an hour later, a staff officer handed Chen Jinghui a telegram from the Air Force and gave him a brief account of the battle situation.
"Order the airfield to pay attention to air defense, and order the air defense forces of the Nanchang defense line to remain vigilant to prevent the devil air force from sneaking up again." Chen Jinghui ordered after reading the telegram.
"Hurry, hurry, get ashore, hurry."
At this moment, the four divisions of the river-crossing troops had begun to land on the other side of the Yangtze River on a large scale, and the platoon commanders of those companies were standing by the river at the moment, making nervous arrangements.
"Report, division report, they have begun a large-scale landing, and it is expected that in two hours, they will be able to complete all landings." Signal Corps Report.
"Okay, let them hurry up and go ashore, and then hide to prevent the sneak attack of the devil's air force." Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Yes"
"Oh no, commander, you see this is a telegram from a reconnaissance plane just sent back."
An hour later, a staff officer hurriedly ran to Chen Jinghui, while constantly shouting that it was not good.
"What's the panic, bring it to me and take a look."
Chen Jinghui looked at the telegram as a result, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, his eyes became smaller and smaller, and they were about to squint into a slit.
"Okamura Ninji, you're ruthless enough. The air defense units on the river were ordered to move immediately, and when they found the devil's plane, they immediately opened fire, without asking for instructions. Order the troops who have already come ashore to immediately start advancing, leaving the shore as soon as possible and entering the woods. ”
The newspaper said that the devil's Anhui Airport had just received a batch of planes from the quilt, about 40 planes. In this way, the number of planes at the Devil's Anhui Airport will reach as many as 50, and this threat is too great. Chan must be prepared for the unexpected.
Buzz Buzz......
Sure enough, half an hour later, all the planes at the devil's Anhui airport were dispatched. This time they did not come towards the troops on the Jiujiang side, but went directly towards the second division on Peng Ze's side.
"Division, look at the plane." The guard of the second division commander Wang Dabao reminded.
"Well, order the troops to enter the woods immediately, and order the troops who are still on the river to pay attention to the air and go ashore as soon as possible." After the second division commander Wang Dabao scolded, he immediately made arrangements.
Tweet ...... Boom Boom Boom ......
But the speed of the plane was so fast, and it reached the sky above the second division as soon as he spoke. Flying down with a slippery aerial bomb.
"Hide, hide, hide."
Without the order of the second division commander, those officers and soldiers at the grassroots level began to look for hidden places on their own and began to evade the bombardment of devils.
Da-da-da, da-da-da
"Come on, little devil! Look at Lao Tzu if you don't do it. ”
On the river, the machine gunners began to strafe the planes in the air with machine guns, although the probability of hitting was very low, but they played a large role in jamming. And those machine gunners still shoot on the one hand, and insult the devils on the other.
"Run, run."
Boom Boom Boom ......
Twenty minutes later, before the hurried air-release troops could stop their ships, they began to run towards the devil plane in the air. A series of shells shot out and exploded in the air, like fireworks.
Boom Boom Boom ...... Rumble...... Rumble......
Boom Boom Boom ...... Airplanes......
Round after round of anti-aircraft shells were fired, and before the devils could react, several planes were hit. Two exploded directly in the air, and three were hit in the wings and tail and began to smoke and fell into the general.
"Baga, pull up, go to the direction of subsistence."
Buzz Buzz......
After being attacked by the air defense forces, the devil plane immediately changed its course and began to fly in the direction of Jiujiang and Mukou.
"What are you doing over there, what are you doing over there, how good are we fighting here. All the ships immediately turned to reinforce Mukou and Jiujiang. ”
Seeing that as soon as the devil was attacked by himself, he began to hurriedly change the combat goal. The commander of the air defense regiment was depressed, so he could only follow the devil's plane, and some began to go in the direction of Jiujiang and Mukou.
