It seems that it has become the habit of the Chinese army to build field airfields every time it is captured, and whether it is defensive or offensive operations, it seems that calling for air support has also become a habit of grassroots commanders, and soldiers have also begun to get used to fighting under the cover of the air force. The officers and soldiers of the Army and Marine Corps enjoyed the battle comfortably, but they suffered from the pilots, ground crews, airport commanders, engineers, etc., and they were no longer the envy of everyone, even the soldiers on the ground could feel the fatigue of the pilots in the plane.

Ma Xin, the pilot of the 19th Dive Bomber Squadron, was exhausted, and in the first half month or so of the beginning of the war, he made an average of four sorties a day, threw a total of nearly 7 tons of ammunition, destroyed more than 30 targets, and destroyed more than 300 enemies through bombs, machine guns, and machine guns. He was also awarded a third-class medal and a bonus of 500 won, but what Ma Shin wanted most was not a medal or a bonus, but a vacation, preferably on Jeju Island, where he could enjoy fine wine and the warmth of Korean girls for only a third of his salary and allowances.

It's a pity that his wish will not come true anytime soon, there is no wine and beautiful women here, only cold joysticks and bombs. His dreadnought dive bomber, with aerial bombs on its belly, was tasked with finding and attacking the Japanese assembly points along Highway 4, a job that was skillful and boring for Ma Shin, and the thrill of the dive gradually faded, even if the vehicle parts and residual value of the broken arm turned into explosions on the ground could not excite Ma Shin.

"Oh my God, look down, look down!" As if he had discovered something terrible, Ma Xin suddenly became excited and shouted in the wireless intercom.

"It's the Japanese army, a lot of Japanese soldiers!" The situation on the ground was alerted by Ma Xin, which quickly attracted the attention of the squadron pilots, who were stimulated by the spectacular sight of adrenaline.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers crowded the road, their khaki uniforms looking down from the sky like a lake, interspersed with vehicles and horses, and Ma Shin could even hear the noise below from the sky. On both sides of the road were more Japanese soldiers, equally crowded and dense, who immediately got up when they saw the Chinese planes in the sky, and became even more chaotic in panic.

"At least tens of thousands! Disperse the attack and watch out for Japanese anti-aircraft fire! The squadron leader gave the order, Ma Xin's fearless wings flailed, and the metal plane increased its horsepower as excitedly as Ma Xin, and dived down after finding the right direction.

The Japanese soldiers knew exactly what this kind of plane meant, and they hated the terrible sound of the plane to the extreme, calling it "the crows of death", and at this moment these pitch-black crows scattered and pounced, aiming at the most dense places of the Japanese army and dropping the bombs mounted under the belly of the plane.

The bomb accurately hit the Japanese crowd that could not be avoided, the explosion and the shock wave instantly took the lives of hundreds of soldiers, after throwing away the bomb, Ma Xin pulled the bomber up, rose to a certain height and circled, the comrades have dropped all the bombs, causing huge casualties to the enemy. Despite this, countless Japanese soldiers fled on the ground, many returning fire with rifles and machine guns in an attempt to drive away the crows of the Grim Reaper.

"Squad No. 1 dealt with the Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and the rest of the fighters continued to attack with machine guns and machine guns!" The squadron leader gave the order, and he was reluctant to leave such a good hunting ground. The bombers became lighter and easier to handle after dropping the bombs, the 20mm cannon in the nose carried 150 shells, and the two self-defense machine guns on the wings were also well stocked, and they decided to use up the ammunition before returning home.

The Japanese army on the ground happened to have an air defense brigade, thirty anti-aircraft machine guns and fifteen small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were not bad in firepower, but unfortunately they were not unloaded on horse-drawn carriages or motor vehicles, and the ammunition was also on different vehicles, and it was not easy for the soldiers of the air defense brigade to unload weapons, install and find ammunition from this chaos and the attack of aircraft.

The first team also spotted suspicious vehicles carrying anti-aircraft weapons and opened heavy fire on those vehicles and the surrounding Japanese soldiers, suppressing the threat at the source. Ten minutes later, the squadron of dive bombers left the battlefield, according to the squadron leader, that is, hurry back to replenish ammunition and fuel, and wreak havoc again, leaving bunkers and trenches and crowding together is rare!

The command headquarters, which received the information of the Japanese confusion, immediately sent a larger group of planes, including medium bombers, to take off, and even the Mustang fighters were equipped with small bombs. Japanese assembly points, bridges, warehouses, etc. have become the main targets, and the only thing that makes Matsunaga Masatoshi feel somewhat relieved is that his precious tank division was lucky to escape the bombing because it was at the end of the retreat sequence.

"Heaven help me, order, Panzer Corps, attack!" He Guangsha was overjoyed to receive the order, and after giving the order to attack, he got into his open-top jeep, surrounded by the roaring armored troops, and the steel torrent composed of Leopard tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks could not be seen at a glance.

Lifting the top hatch, Li Fei, the commander of car No. 114, showed his head and used a telescope to observe the village in the distance. After putting down the binoculars, he stroked the steel touch of the tank with his right hand, so gently, like touching his lover. In fact, Li Fei regarded his tank as a lover, and this Leopard tank painted with "114" was so beautiful and perfect that Li Fei fell in love with her soon after receiving it.

"There were Japanese defensive positions in the direction of eleven o'clock, and Japanese soldiers were suspected in the grove at the other two o'clock, and Japanese artillery positions and anti-tank gun positions were not found. 113, you and 115 went around from the left flank and captured the Japanese positions, I went around from the right flank to see what was going on in the grove and finally converged in the village. Each vehicle should pay attention to protect the grenadiers behind it. "Li Fei's offensive tactics are relatively bold, but intelligence shows that there are not many Japanese defensive forces in front, and the most important thing now is speed, interspersed with the fastest time.

After arranging the tank tactics, Li Fei jumped out of the car, walked up to a grenadier platoon commander, and after discussing with him, he decided on the attack tactics. The Leopard tank started, and No. 114 turned to the right, followed by ten grenadiers.

The village not far away can be said to be a ruin, this should be the former Japanese army cantonment point or material distribution point, so it was attacked fearlessly, the smoke has not completely dissipated, and it is uncertain whether there are any remaining Japanese soldiers inside.

"Whoosh!" A small-caliber anti-tank shell flew out of that Japanese position, a few meters to the right of Tank No. 114, where there were Japanese soldiers, and the defense was not weak, at least one anti-tank gun - didn't they all escape?

The Japanese reacted quickly, first of all, the No. 114 tank, which had leaked into view, was again attacked by an anti-tank shell, and it was fired from different positions, indicating that the enemy's anti-tank fire was in more than one place. However, the accuracy of the Japanese artillery was very poor, and it still did not hit the No. 114 - perhaps it was too nervous, and the Japanese artillery opened fire from a distance of more than 700 meters.

The 75mm long-barreled gun emitted a cloud of flames, and a high-explosive shell hit a leaking anti-tank gun position, turning it into useless parts.

Just as the second high-explosive shell was about to be launched, the shell flying from the direction of the grove hit the side turret of tank No. 114, and the slight shock made Li Fei and other tank crew members shake for a while, and the collision between the body and the bulkhead was not violent, and they reacted immediately.

The small-caliber anti-tank shell was fired from a grove more than three hundred meters away, hitting accurately, but it did not penetrate the turret armor, leaving only a shallow black mark.

"Reverse, reverse!" The tank's tracks stopped rolling forward, and the engine emitted a puff of smoke, and it keenly felt the driver's will and perfectly played the performance of its transmission. The smoke launcher emits puffs of smoke that will soon make the Leopard disappear into smoke.

The grenadiers retreated at the same time, and the Japanese anti-tank guns did not continue to attack. After returning to the range of the anti-tank gun, Li Fei calmly observed, on the other side, tanks No. 113 and No. 115 had appeared in front of the Japanese position and destroyed an anti-tank gun.

"Attack!" Li Fei shouted loudly, it was really a bit embarrassing just now, he was carelessly attacked by the Japanese army from both sides, if it weren't for their lack of anti-tank firepower and good enough Leopard tank armor, their own vehicle crew might be damaged, and such a thing must not happen to him!

It turned out that the rise of the Japanese army was only at the beginning of the moment, there were more than 300 Japanese soldiers here, and they were also reserves, the fortifications were very simple, and the three anti-tank guns were temporarily taken out of the warehouse after the discovery of the Chinese tanks. The artillery was not professional, and the shell that hit 114 could be said to be lucky, but a second lieutenant named Yamashita Fumi commanded these reserves, and also forced back a Chinese tank, and when the other two Chinese tanks appeared, Yamashita ordered the anti-tank guns to continue firing, only to find that the retreating tank on the side of the forest had reappeared.
