"Hurry up, one by one, all hurry!"

At this time, the entire Baoding Railway Station was busy, and the Japanese army's roundabout detachment made breakthrough progress at this time, but the battlefield has always been a whole, if the main force of the Japanese army in front can not effectively contain the main force of Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu's group army, with the strength of the roundabout detachment, there is a slight respite, whether it is Yang Hucheng or Zhao Tieshu, you can clean up this Japanese army when you turn back. Sensing that the opportunity was coming, and at the same time intending to be ashamed, Kiyoshi Kazuki commanded the main force of the First Army to fully press the enemy forces on the opposite side.

At the same time as the Japanese army was frantically attacking, hundreds of thousands of troops were in a big melee, and under the condition of maintaining a high-intensity offensive, the daily consumption of food and ammunition was an astronomical amount. Before Yang Hucheng withdrew from Baoding at the same time, dismantled a section of railroad tracks, the railway station was also blown into ruins, but the Japanese army that occupied Baoding quickly drove the people in the occupied area to clean up this messy place, under the stimulation of the war, the construction team also quickly reopened the railway, but it takes time to repair the railway after all, some days ago when the Japanese railway was not smooth, a large number of materials collected from the north were piled up in Baoding, and the empty area in front of the railway station that was cleaned up was piled up like a mountain. In this area, the Japanese army gathered a large number of anti-aircraft guns to avoid being overwhelmed by enemy bombers. After all, the air force of the Northwest Army is also very powerful.

As soon as the railway was opened, the wagons from the north quickly pulled these supplies south, and delivered the supplies to the combat troops as quickly as possible. The Japanese soldiers in the front were fighting with their lives, but the transport teams in the rear were no less responsible than the troops on the front. With a large number of troops sent to the front, the Japanese forces in the rear were relatively inadequate. Therefore, the Japanese army had to drive a large number of people in the occupied areas to carry the daily necessities in the food. But for arms. In order to prevent enemy agents from infiltrating and wreaking. The Japanese army basically organized its own expatriates and soldiers to do it themselves. The officer in charge of supervising the work urged loudly to load medicine, food, and ammunition onto the train in batches, and the entire transit station was full of people and the neighing of horses continued.

Woo -

Soon, however, the air raids that the Japanese had been fearing came to pass. It's sudden, but it's also expected. It is absolutely impossible for the Northwest Army to sit idly by and watch the main force of Shijiazhuang being encircled and annihilated, and in order to maintain this battle-hardened main force, the Northwest Army will absolutely use all its strength, and Baoding, as the largest advance station to support the Battle of Shijiazhuang, will definitely be the key target of the opposing air force. Due to the previous successive bombing of Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and Datong by the Northwest Air Force, more than 60 Japanese planes and hundreds of pilots were directly destroyed. There were hundreds of ground crews, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded. For a time, the Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan were panicked. After all, nearly a hundred bombers were dispatched in a row. If it is an army with a weak will, it will collapse directly. After several losses, the Northwest Air Force still existed in strength, which was a well-known thing in the Japanese army. This is still the case in Shanxi, let alone in Shijiazhuang, but there are a large number of elites in the northwest.

"Yo Xi, I finally caught the bomber formation of the Northwest Air Force, and ordered the Caomu Flight Squadron and the Haraji Flight Squadron to take off immediately, and be sure to shoot down all the 19 bombers that appeared!" As the commander of the North China Provisional Aviation Corps, Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi personally inquired about the air defense mission over Baoding this time, and Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi had long expected the bombing of the Northwest Air Force, but there were some accidents, which always happened as expected. In other words, all the Japanese pilots, including Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi, could not imagine that this 19-plane bomber formation was unexpected by them in many aspects.

It is true that these 19 bombers are all the Kunpeng four-engine heavy bombers that the northwest has already been preparing and has managed to accumulate, and these bombers have quietly stationed themselves at several airfields in Shaanxi the night before yesterday, and then they took off directly from Shaanxi, crossed Shanxi, and flew directly to the airspace over Baoding to carry out this bombing. Originally, Jiang Li was also going to let Kunpeng bombard and hide in the snow for a while, and when the scale was larger, he would give the Japanese army a dismount. However, during the war, many plans had to be adjusted to suit the timing, and it was very naïve to expect that the plans would be implemented.

Just as expected by the top brass of the Japanese army, in order to enable the two group armies of Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu to retreat smoothly, this time the Northwest Army can be regarded as using another great skill to press the bottom of the box -- long-range strategic bombing. Although the size of the bomber formation this time was far from Jiang Li's expectations. But Jiang Li, as a traverser, naturally has a vision beyond the Asian level of this era. But in fact, in the entire Far East, only in the northwest, there is such a heavy bombardment cluster. In addition to the fact that the industrial scale has not been improved, at least the advanced nature of the heavy bombardment cluster in the northwest has stood at the forefront of the world's most advanced tide like Britain and the United States. Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, and the layout of the northwest for heavy bombardment has long been more than a thousand days. The accumulation of several years of hard work has revealed its effects at this moment.

"Hey little guys, **** go!" The huge body of the Kunpeng arrogantly sailed in the air, and the large-caliber machine guns equipped on it rained bullets at the Japanese army's rapidly speeding fighter group, and the basic equipment of the Japanese fighters at this time was only 7.7 caliber imitation of the Vickers aviation machine gun, which was only a cut ahead in terms of range alone. Chen Shuhua shook the machine gun and laughed wantonly.

"Captain, I haven't had enough of it." Before Chen Shuhua and another machine gunner could show their skills, Captain Liang Musheng steered the plane to climb slowly before the Japanese entered a dangerous distance.

Originally, the bomber formation maintained a flight altitude of nearly 8,000 meters, which was close to the limit of the Japanese fighters. Although the harassing fire of the machine gun did not cause any casualties to the Japanese pilots, it kept them busy for a while, and with this effort, the huge body of the Kunpeng climbed again and reached a higher altitude.

Eight thousand one, eight thousand two, eight thousand five hundred meters, all the way to more than nine thousand seven hundred meters. Everything on the ground has become a blur, and it is impossible to judge the target on the ground with a pair of naked eyes. The production of bomb sights in the northwest was extremely slow, and even a considerable part of it had to be done by hand. This is also an important reason restricting the expansion of Kunpeng's production scale. In the past six months, Lanzhou Optics has only produced 27 bomb sights.

However, in the process of production, the yield rate is constantly improving, and the proficiency of those workers has also been greatly improved, and the new workers are also in intensive training, and everything seems to be developing in a good way. (To be continued.) )
