Chapter 271: The Great Wall War of Resistance 13
No, the pilot shouted in despair, and finally the wing was completely broken, the plane with the broken wing fell to the ground, and the pilot broke out of the cockpit and fell from the air screaming hand and foot paddling, this scene made the officers and men of the 37th Division and the 15th Route Army as the enemy also look very sympathetic, even if they die, they have to experience such a long time of despair in the air, and the feeling of panic in the heart of falling down is probably not very comfortable, and if you don't fall to death, you will be scared to death. The plane that followed closely behind was lucky, and it stretched the plane up in time.
"Oh!" There was an earth-shattering cheer on the defending positions, not only because the Japanese planes had crashed, but because they were no longer powerless to fight back in the face of the Japanese bombardment.
Vaguely seeing the busy air defense troops in the crowd, Zhang Zizhong's throat was dry, and there were a large number of machine guns and a large number of mortars. Zhang Zizhong did not even dare to think that the formed air defense units in Nanjing, which did not even have the planes in the sky, could shoot down the planes in the sky.
Not only Zhang Zizhong, but also Weng Zhaoyuan, who had joined the 15th Route Army, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene. The firepower of the Fourth Brigade mixed in Jiang Wenhao made him envious for a while, but there was no good way for the Japanese aircraft, and it was quite a loss in the face of the Japanese army's heavy artillery suppression, but he didn't expect that it had only been a year, and the 15th Route Army was not only equipped with a large number of heavy artillery. Even anti-aircraft weapons were equipped. I heard that it has been set up independently, and the Northwest Air Force Staff has also vigorously updated its aircraft. The performance is longer than that of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. After the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. The 19th Route Army, which was greatly injured, was suppressed by Nanjing, and it is far from recovering until now, while the combat power of the 15th Route Army is increasing at a visible speed.
What Weng Zhaoyuan saw was not only the improvement of weapons, but the understanding and acceptance of new weapons by the 15th Route Army was far higher than that of other domestic armies. With the troops of a brigade in his hand, Weng Zhaoyuan was confident that the Japanese brigade in front of him, which had been injured to a certain extent, would be able to repel the Japanese brigade in front of him, and replace it with other troops of the Republic of China, at least three divisions could only do it by fighting to the death, and his own losses would be several times more than that of the Japanese army. It was a momentary success that was completely piled up with human lives, once the Japanese army recovered its vitality and consumed ammunition supply. You can quickly get the field back again. Even at this time, Nanjing's understanding of army construction was probably far behind the 15th Route Army at this time, and it was still taking the road of expanding the size of the army.
Even during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, it was rumored that Jiang Li had blocked the Japanese army in Fengtian City with more than 100,000 troops for several months, losing more than 100,000 himself, and the Japanese army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, which seemed somewhat incredible to Weng Zhaoyuan. In Songhu, whether it was the 19th Route Army or Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army, it was impossible to fight without life, but under the Japanese planes and artillery, Weng Zhaoyuan also had to admit that fighting was not desperate. And at this time, with the temporary 2 brigade and 8 heavy guns in hand. Weng Zhaoyuan had the confidence to shake a brigade of the Japanese army. Wasn't this inconceivable before?
At this time, Weng Zhaoyuan also had to sigh. The Battle of Mukden has been regarded as a miracle on the battlefield in the East by those foreigners who are above the top. Perhaps only a far-sighted person like Jiang Li has such a miracle hand, turning these miscellaneous cards that originally belonged to the Northeast into elites that can hardly shake the Japanese army.
However, although there is a frontal repulsion of the strength of the Japanese brigades, it is not the time to demonstrate, and the encirclement of the Japanese army is about to be closed. If it is delayed in Chengde, even the brigade sent by Weng Zhaoyuan will not be able to leave.
Under the cover of anti-aircraft fire, the Japanese planes had to raise the altitude, originally at this time the bomb sight had not yet come out, and the bombing carried out by raising the altitude could only be described in two words reluctantly, although it still brought certain losses to Weng Zhaoyuan and Zhang Zizhong on the ground, but the remaining few planes were no longer enough to affect the defensive retreat formation of the ground defenders. Weng Zhaoyuan and Zhang Zizhong fought and retreated, giving up Chengde, where the Japanese army had recovered and lost, and the Japanese army also reoccupied the capital of Rehe, which had been almost destroyed.
And Gao Zhihang, who was supposed to provide air support to Chengde, was by no means eating dry rice because he did not send a plane to Chengde. At the same time as the fierce battle in Chengde, the Ca30 and Fokker D16 of the brigade appeared in the sky above Shanhaiguan and fought fiercely with the Japanese planes, and the air force of the Republic of China appeared in the heart of the Japanese army for the first time, which once brought a great blow to the Japanese army in Shanhaiguan.
However, just like the previous situation when the Japanese army sent troops to occupy Shanhaiguan and made a large-scale landing in Bohai Bay, Gao Zhihang's large-scale fight with the Japanese air force at Shanhaiguan was just a false shot. The real killing was that when the night was still dark, the bomber formation that quietly set sail from Tangshan and Nanyuan Airport in advance went all the way east by sea to the north, and then turned left and west, and when most of the Japanese fighters rushed to Shanhaiguan to support, the bomber formation appeared in the sky over the Japanese airfield in Jinzhou as if it were no man's land. In an instant, bullets rained down over Jinzhou Airport.
"On 11 March, the Imperial Air Force fighter squadron went to Shanhaiguan to fight fiercely with the China Air Force, and the Ranchina bomber group suddenly appeared at Jinzhou Airport, and our army still had 31 Kawasaki Type 87 heavy bomb planes, Mitsubishi Type 87 light bomb planes, and Kawasaki Type 88 light bomb planes, but only five of them had time to take off, and the remaining 26 planes were all destroyed on the ground. The ammunition and fuel depot were also destroyed by enemy planes in China, 37 pilots were killed on the spot, and 107 ground crew members were killed and wounded. ”
After sending this telegram in a lamenting tone, the head of Jinzhou Airport, Wicker Daisa, did not have the courage to face the people sent by the military police headquarters, and plunged a saber into his abdomen for many years.
"The air battle of Shanhaiguan was the largest and most lost air experience of our army since the outbreak of the Rehe War of Resistance, during which 7 Japanese planes of all kinds were shot down and our army lost 6. However, our bomber formation destroyed more than 20 Japanese troops at Jinzhou Airport, and the Japanese army could no longer use Jinzhou Airport for more than a month. For a long time to come, our army will only face Japanese planes from Shanhaiguan. Zhang Niansco reported a series of combat losses and results to Gao Zhihang. (To be continued.) )
