Chapter 488: The Scene of the Disaster

"Yaga, what's the matter, how could the bomber of the Shina people fly so high?" Sawada Harugami, the Japanese pilot flying the Type 92 fighter, watched in disbelief as the enemy plane soared above their heads, and the enemy bomber was able to fly to an altitude beyond their reach.

There are many pilots who are in the same bad mood as Sawada Harukami.

At the same time, Nagatokugawa Haomin, who received the news, was furious, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, and this fear made him feel ashamed from the bottom of his heart, first of all, the cutting-edge monoplane equipped by the Northwest Army, and the most elite Type 95 fighter of the Army Aviation with sexual ability, relying on its superb speed, still played a good record in the face of superior Japanese aircraft, sheltering the ground troops under the wing.

This is still the case with the Army's most advanced Type 95 fighters, and once those bombers are caught by the Flying Dragon fighters, they will basically be killed. The Northwest Air Force's fighter jets are already so advanced, and as the fighting gets longer and longer, the proportion of Wyverns appearing over the battlefield is gradually increasing. It is hard for Nagatokugawa to imagine what a terrible situation it will be once all the Northwest fighters that appear in front of him become Flying Dragon fighters.

Even if the fighters of the Northwest Air Force are advanced, I didn't expect that the other side's bombers would be so domineering, and in terms of the opponent's flight altitude alone, the current army aviation could not find a fighter that could easily shoot it down. This means that in the future, the bombers in the northwest can appear above their heads at will, but I don't know what the range of these bombers is, if the range is long enough, it will be tantamount to a disaster for the future Japanese army.

Nagatokugawa's worries were a little ahead of schedule. After all, with the strength of the Northwest at this time. There is no capacity to mass-produce Kunpeng rebombardment. There is also no strength in a large number of equipment. Whether it is fuel or manufacturing costs, it is several times higher than other aircraft in service in the Northwest.

If it weren't for the astonishing reserves of the newly discovered Karamay oilfield in Xinjiang, Jiang Li would not even dare to use this heavy bombardment formation recklessly. Although the northwest is a little remote, fortunately, strategic materials such as oil and steel are still self-sufficient. It turned out that Jiang Li spent a huge price and advocated the construction of a direct railway from Lanzhou to Dihua under extremely difficult conditions, which also proved Jiang Li's foresight at this moment. Otherwise, even if the oil fields over there are discovered, but there is no railway, it will never be easy to exploit them, let alone hundreds of thousands of tons or millions of tons of crude oil will be refined and smoothly transported to Gansu, Qingdao, Ning, Shaanxi and other places. It will also take several years to build the railway after the fact. In such an extremely difficult moment as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, where can we afford to wait for a few years? Machinery imported from the Soviet side. crude steel, but also crude oil from Xinjiang. Some small and medium-sized iron mines, this railway is not an exaggeration to say that it is the main artery in the northwest at this time. Moreover, in the rear, it is absolutely safe, and for a time there is no need to think about the possible invasion of the Japanese.

The size of the Karamay oil field group is enough to meet the needs of the nearest and even later in the northwest. This also laid the necessary power foundation for the further take-off of the automobile and aviation industries in the northwest. At present, the only thing that restricts Kunpeng is the refining capacity of the northwest, and the refining of high-quality aviation fuel is not so simple. Craftsmanship, technology, and skilled technicians are indispensable. Even in the Soviet Union, the production of jet fuel above No. 99 was blank during the war, and basically relied on British and American assistance. At this time, the oil resources in the northwest are already available, and once the ability of the northwest to refine oil is improved, the shackles that hinder Kunpeng's wings will be completely released. In the future, Kunpeng will also soar in the blue sky.

THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE OF THE JAPANESE TROOPS IN THE AREA AROUND THE RAILWAY STATION WAS IN FULL SWING, BUT THE FIREPOWER OF MOST OF THE 20MM MACHINE GUNS, WHICH WAS MAINLY BASED ON 20MM MACHINE GUNS, COULD NOT REACH THE KUNPENG ABOVE THE SKY. At this time, Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi could only hope that the accuracy of the bombing of these bombers would be affected by the problem of flight altitude, after all, to keep the Japanese bombers at this altitude, their bombing effect can only be described as miserable.

Rumble! The sound of the explosion at the train station shaking made Nagatokugawa feel like falling into the abyss.

As one of the essences of the Northwest Air Force, Kunpeng's lethality was exhausted after several explosions sounded at this time. At such a high altitude, even if there was a bomb sight, the bomb dropping at the beginning was much worse, but I don't know how many times the pilots had done similar experiments, and soon, the successive explosions plunged the entire square near the railway station into a sea of fire, and a heavy bomb weighing 500 kilograms fell directly next to the train on the platform. The two long carriages were lifted several meters high in the violent explosion. Then the torn carriage fell hard. The huge shock wave even sent a cannon flying four or five meters away like a piece of paper, and as for the Japanese soldiers who were carrying ordnance nearby, there were no words to describe the fear in their hearts.

"No!" Xiquan Siming, who was in charge of the security of the entire railway station, saw several aerial bombs fall not far from the piled up shell box, and his eyes were undisguised with fear.

The detonated shells echoed the sound of aerial bombs.

Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi, who had a hint of luck in his heart, witnessed the rain of bullets and knew how ridiculous it was to hope that these bombers would have a limited bomb load. Even if the three bombers under his command were combined, they couldn't catch up. At this time, Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi knew why at such a critical juncture, the opponent's first wave of aircraft only had these 19. Because the destructive power caused by the bomber formation in front of him is enough to catch up with more than 60 ordinary bombers. In Baoding, such a large-scale bombing was used, and Nagatokugawa Haomin knew how amazing the northwest was this time. Near the station, it was like a catastrophe, and many of the brave soldiers were still trying to control the spread of the fire, but more were scattered and fled, their faces frightened.

The logistics department will soon be troubled by the scolding of the front-line combat troops. However, this is not something that he, the commander of the aviation regiment, should consider, what he has to do is to make a good report, prepare to deal with the rebuke of Terauchi Shouichi after this accident, and his rebuke to the Imperial Aviation Department.

China, a country that the high-level people of the empire did not pay attention to, even after the tragic Battle of Mukden and the War of Resistance on the Great Wall, still did not arouse their sufficient vigilance, and most of the Japanese high-level believed that although the northwest was a great threat, there was still a huge gap compared with the empire, and at the juncture of the all-out war between China and Japan. Northwest slapped them several times with practical actions. The Northwest not only built its own fighters with excellent performance, but also equipped bombers with amazing destructive power.
