Chapter 208: Fighting More with Less!

Perhaps the Japanese army never dreamed that their so-called tactics of diverting the tiger from the mountains to divide and encircle them gave the Eighth Route Army, which had a small number of fighters, a chance to break through one by one. As a seductive Kwantung Army www.biquge.info defeat would come so quickly.

The air battle that took place over Chengde could not hide the people on the ground and the Eighth Route Army, and naturally it could not hide the intelligence officers of the special high school who were lurking in the local area. In the face of the fleeing domestic fighters, many intelligence officers found it incredulous.

When will their supposed invincible air force be chased and beaten like a lost dog? But one after another crashed fighters, the paint on them clearly told them that this was their fighter.

When he felt that this situation was very important, the latent intelligence officer of the Special High School naturally tried every means to transmit the battle situation here back to the headquarters of the Special High School in Beiping in time. Unfortunately, their information seems to have come a little late.

When the Japanese naval aviation did not hide its whereabouts at all, the large formation flew over Tianxian and went straight to Shijiazhuang. The intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army, who had been collecting information, quickly transmitted this information back to the headquarters.

Knowing that the Japanese army had dispatched hundreds of fighters this time, He Zhengdao, who was staying on the front line, also said with a solemn expression: "It seems that the little devil is really ruthless this time, and he really wants to solve our air force at one time!"

Send a telegram to the 2nd Group, ordering all their fighters to take off immediately and rush to the airspace of Shijiazhuang or Baoding to engage in a decisive battle with the invading enemy planes. In addition, send a telegram to Zheng Shaoyu, they can also take off and be ready to support at any time.

At the same time, send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, so that our ground forces are ready for rescue. As soon as a pilot parachutes, the ground forces immediately provide search and rescue, and it is important to ensure the safety of our pilots.

Second, air defense units in various localities should be ready for war. Looking at the little devil's plane, it should go around our two airports. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the antiaircraft artillery units stationed at the airport are ready to respond to the battle at any time. ”

With He Zhengdao's order decisively issued, the second group of pilots on standby at Taiyuan Airport soon heard a piercing siren. When the pilots heard the battle alarm, they immediately picked up the helmets that were placed beside them.

'All of them, board!' Takeoff! Team up in the air! ’

Two fighter squadrons, nearly fifty Hawk fighters, soon took off from the Taiyuan airfield. In the face of this air force unit that had not long been transferred to Taiyuan, the defenders near the airport were also full of expectation and respect.

Everyone knows that today's air battle should be remembered by history. So can their slightly immature air force withstand the crazy counterattack of the little devils? After all, they have much fewer planes than the little devils!

The fighters at the Taiyuan airport took off en masse, leaving only four fighters on combat readiness. Zheng Shaoyu and others, who were far away in Zhangjiakou, also quickly completed the boarding formation and began to prepare to join the Blue Eagle Squadron.

According to He Zhengdao's operational arrangements, the Second Air Force Group will be responsible for the main attack task of the Japanese naval aviation in the future. And Zheng Shaoyu and them are ready to prepare troops to enter the battle at any time.

If you do this, you can also catch the little devils off guard, and at the same time form a deterrent effect on the attacking Japanese army. After all, after fighting with the Second Air Force Brigade, I suddenly saw the reinforcements of the Eighth Road, and I believe that the little devil will also be frightened.

When the Japanese air force flew over the sky where the two armies were fighting, looking at the dense fighter planes in the sky, the Japanese ground troops, who had been holding back for several days, undoubtedly looked very excited, and began to shout "Long live the air force" one by one.

Regarding the arrogant behavior of the little devil defenders, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was responsible for organizing the attack, was also in a bad mood and said: "Tell the front-line snipers, shoot Lao Tzu and kill these arrogant little devils!" Arrogant fart! ”

Accompanied by snipers hiding at the front of the position, they began to shoot the defenders of the early little devil position. The defenders of the little devil's position, who had just been excited, quickly became honest again. They know that it seems a little premature to rejoice now.

Seeing the appearance of their own air force, the little devils who have been holding on for a long time also feel that they can breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from the current offensive situation, it seems that the Eighth Route Army has also weakened the intensity of the offensive, and they can finally take a breather.

Many unwilling Japanese commanders said in a timely manner: "Now that our air force has appeared, can we organize a counterattack?" While the Air Force can provide air cover, we will also fight a counterattack by the Eighth Route Army, right? ”

In the face of the advice of these commanders, most of the Japanese commanders said: "Wait! Taking advantage of the postponement of the offensive on the Eighth Front, we let the troops rest and recuperate. In the past few days, the troops have not been able to get enough rest.

When our air force solves the air force of the Eighth Route, it will be relatively easy for us to counterattack. Most importantly, our ammunition supply is very expensive, and we also need to give the rear some time to prepare supplies and ammunition.

The most important thing is that with our current strength alone, we will not pose much of a threat to the Eighth Route at all. The reinforcements that came over yesterday will take some time to reach the battlefield. When they join us, it's time for us to fight back! ”

Although they understood that these commanders wanted to regain their lost face, for many commanders, they quickly saw through the situation on the battlefield that the Eighth Route Army was also somewhat prepared. If you fight back, you will only lose more than you lose.

In this case, maintaining this brief period of tranquility is the best option for both offensive and defensive forces. As for when the counterattack will begin, it will ultimately depend on the next air battle, which side can win the final victory.

The bomber unit that followed behind the fighter formation was originally going to find some artillery units or barracks of the Eighth Route Army to bully them. As a result, when they flew over the battle, they did not find a large force of the Eighth Route Army.

Many bomber observers said with a little puzzlement: "Well, didn't you say that the Eighth Route dispatched a large force and cluster artillery fire?" How come we have been spinning around for so long and not finding anything? ”

While the pilots of these Japanese bombers were puzzled, the hidden artillery units and ground force observers also looked at the Japanese bombers hovering in the sky. Naturally, they also know the reason why these fighters are circling.

However, these observers knew that it was undoubtedly impossible to discover the hidden main forces of the ground forces and artillery units on the basis of this kind of aerial reconnaissance alone. After all, they were prepared in advance.

'Humph! Let's turn it! Take a turn a little longer, and you'll know what the consequences will be! ’

When the Japanese fighter formation flew over Shijiazhuang, they looked at Shijiazhuang City, which was still full of gunfire. Many fighter pilots also know that the two armies below are at war.

It's a pity that in the face of the situation that the two armies have begun to engage in short-handed combat, they can't help even if they want to. The reason is simple, if they open fire in the air, they can also hurt the defending Japanese troops.

Looking at these little devil fighters circling in the sky, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was responsible for commanding at the front of the battlefield, still said very calmly: "Don't pay attention to these little devils' planes, continue to attack as planned." They wouldn't dare shoot! ”

With no way to help these ground forces, the Japanese pilots finally decided to continue looking for opportunities to fight the Eighth Route Air Force. At this time, two Japanese reconnaissance planes, which were in charge of reconnaissance, soon returned to the large formation.

Just seeing the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance planes pursuing behind the two reconnaissance fuselages, many naval aviation officers said: "Baga, these Eighth Route reconnaissance planes are too arrogant!" Surround them and kill them! ”

Just when many naval aviation units were ready to take two eight-way reconnaissance planes to steam their anger. The Japanese flight commander in charge of piloting the navigation soon saw the formation of fighters of the Eighth Route Army appearing in the sky ahead.

'Get ready for battle!' Baga, our intelligence is wrong, and there are no more than 20 fighters in Balu. That's at least fifty or so fighters! Damn it! Surround them and kill them! ’

When the pilot of the pilot aircraft makes a combat gesture and directs the wingman next to him to convey the order. It had long been discovered that the 2nd Air Force Group, which was in the formation of Japanese fighters, had already formed a battle formation and began to dive and attack.

In the face of the attack initiated by the Eighth Route Army Air Force, the huge Japanese fighter group was quickly dispersed. But even so, some naval aviation units soon discovered that the Eighth Route Army's fighters seemed to be more flexible than them.

Most importantly, the pilots of these Eighth Route Army did not have bad flying skills. In pairs of twos, they bit a fighter plane and opened cross-fire, making it difficult for them to escape the blow at all. For a time, many Japanese fighters were shot and fell.

Looking at the warplanes of the two countries entangled together again in the air, there are also countless pairs of eyes on the ground. It was also at this time that the captain of the 2nd Flying Group soon heard a report that a fighter plane had been hit.

'Eagle four five, skydive! Your gas tank has been hit! I ordered, skydive now! ’

'Captain, I can still hold on!' ’

'It's an order!' Quick, bunny, carry out the command! ’

Under the captain's hurried but stern order, the slowly falling Eagle fighter cockpit suddenly bounced away. Shortly after a person ejected, the fighter plane quickly crashed straight to the ground.

Faced with the fall of the first fighter, the pilots of the second group were undoubtedly a little angry. But through this incident, they also learned that little devils are also not easy to mess with. Anyway, they have more fighters than them!

It was also at this time that the captain of the Second Flying Group said in a timely manner: "Comrades, hold on!" Although we had one fighter shot down, there were more enemy planes shot down by us, hold steady, don't mess around!

In addition, I told the comrades good news that the regiment commander had led the Blue Eagle squadron and a large group of comrades to arrive. I believe that it will not be long before we can successfully converge. Then is the time for us to fight back. Hold on! ”

When the second captain used the on-board radio to calm the somewhat flustered pilot. Knowing that the reinforcements would arrive soon, the pilots of the second group gradually became much more relieved.

They all knew that once Zheng Shaoyu led the reinforcements to arrive. Then the situation on the battlefield will inevitably be reversed. At present, the numerical advantage that the little devils rely on will soon be broken!
