The next morning was early in the morning.

At Datong Airport, two Mustang fighter squadrons are making final preparations before takeoff, and 48 pilots are also ready to board.

On the huge tarmac, rows of neat field planes have been filled with fuel, bombs have been hung, and every 12.7 mm machine gun is full of bullets.

"Let's go!"

Looking at his watch, Gao Zhihang personally gave the order to take off.

Immediately, one after another Mustang fighters slowly drove to the runway, and after a while, one after another, Mustang fighters took off into the air, flew straight into the blue sky, and flew eastward.

This time, the two squadrons of Mustang fighters attacked two positions outside Tangshan City.

According to the speed of the little devil's march, most of the little devil's reinforcements will reach Tangshan at noon today.

On the position outside Tangshan City, there were not only people from the 39th Division, but also little devils from the 71st and 72nd Divisions who had already arrived and hurriedly joined the defense.

Tangshan City in the morning, facing the rising sun, is ushering in a round of rising red, the whole Tangshan City, clothed with a layer of sun brilliance, looks very beautiful.

If it weren't for the war, today would be a beautiful day, and Tangshan City is also a beautiful city.

However, now, under the rising sun, there are many little devils who have built a large number of fortifications outside the city, and there are a large number of little devils in the fortifications, and the 71st and 72nd divisions of the little devils have arrived in Tangshan one after another, so that the little devils' troops have been greatly replenished.

The entire Tangshan City was tightly defended by little devils, and outside the city, two or three kilometers away, there were also a lot of troops of the 9th Column, which happened to confront a large number of little devils.

The commander of the 9th Column, looking at his watch, thought to himself, the planes of the flying group should be coming soon, and the vanguard of the 10th column should also be coming.

That's right, now, the two Mustang fighter squadrons of the flight group are approaching Tangshan, and it will not take ten minutes to reach the airspace over Tangshan.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the planes of the flying group to arrive.

"Look! Look, it looks like our Mustang fleet. ”

Many sharp-eyed warriors had already seen a large number of small black dots in the distant sky, and many warriors had also heard the faint roar in the sky.

Many commanders looked at these planes with binoculars, and saw that in the binoculars, the figure of the Mustang fighter plane was clearly visible, and even the bombs hanging under the planes could be clearly seen.

"Comrades! It's really our plane. ”

Many commanders with binoculars shouted happily.

A minute or two later, the flight altitude of the Mustang fighter group was already very low, and it was very close to the fighters, and 48 Mustang fighters roared over the heads of the soldiers, and then immediately divided into two groups and went straight to the little devil's position two or three kilometers ahead.

It seems that these Mustang fighters will hit two positions of the imp at the same time.

In the distance, on the position of the little devils.

Many little devils are still seizing the last time to build and consolidate fortifications, and now, the little devils are becoming more and more "smart", fighting more battles with the 36th Group Army, and the little devils' experience is becoming more and more "rich."

The little devils not only dug anti-tank trenches in front of their positions, but also laid some mines within 100 meters of their positions in an attempt to stop the charge of the 36th Army.

Many battalion commanders of the 9th Column saw these actions and measures of the little devils clearly, and everyone smiled disdainfully, because everyone knew that this morning, the first round of attacks would be carried out by the Mustang fighters of the flying group.

It didn't take long for the little devils to hear the roar of the plane in the sky, and when they heard this sound, many little devils tightened their faces and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came.

I saw that a large number of planes appeared in the sky only a few hundred meters high, at least dozens of them, and the little devils immediately stopped what they were doing and began to dodge in a hurry to avoid the bombing of the planes.

This time, it was a squadron of Mustang fighters that bombed the position of the little devils in the northeast of Tangshan, a total of 24 Mustang fighters, and as soon as these Mustang fighters flew above the positions of the little devils, they immediately began to drop bombs.

I saw that huge bombs fell from the plane and smashed into the position of the little devils, making bursts of explosions.

However, the strange thing is that the bombs dropped this time are a little different from the previous bombs, in the past, the power of the aviation bombs was huge, and when they exploded, they were all earth-shattering and amazingly powerful.

This time, the explosion was not very powerful, and even the sound was much quieter.

Many little devils are wondering, what's the matter, could it be that the planes of the 36th Group Army are all inferior products, which has greatly reduced the power of the bombs.

However, there is no need for the little devils to think too much, as these bombs exploded, there were immediately flames in the sky, and many flames flew everywhere, flying out of the center of the explosion at least a hundred meters away.

Napalm?

Many little devil officers, seeing this scene, immediately remembered this terrible term.

Yes, just now these Mustang fighters dropped napalm bombs, the first batch of napalm bombs newly developed in the Datong base area, this time, the little devils have become very good test targets.

Napalm is a bomb containing napalm, which can produce a high-temperature flame when it explodes, and contains a gelatinous substance made of gasoline and other chemicals, which is splashed around when it explodes, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.

After the napalm explodes, the napalm splashed on the body is like lard paste, viscous and burn-resistant. If someone slaps it with their hands, the more they slap it, the bigger the fire gets, and if they roll on the ground to extinguish the fire, they will get the whole body on fire.

Once there is a lot of fire on the person, the people on the side should try to stay away from the person on fire, because the struggle of the person on fire can easily throw the burning oil block on the person to form a secondary killing effect.

For humanitarian reasons, it is advisable to end the life of the person on fire with a gun, because for the victims of napalm, it can be said that death is the greatest relief.

As dozens of napalm bombs were dropped, many areas of the little devils' positions were filled with a large sea of fire, and many of the little devils were on fire and screaming fiercely.

Some little devils only have a few small flames on their bodies, and the little devils are slapping vigorously, trying to extinguish these small flames, but, to the surprise of the little devils, these flames are getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, the whole body is raging with fire.

There are also some little devils, who are on fire and rolling on the ground in pain, but this method obviously does not work, until these little devils are burned alive, and the fire on their bodies cannot be extinguished.

There are also some little devils, their bodies are on fire, and they have seen a lot of little devils burned to death, and they died very miserably, these little devils of this fire, their hearts are extremely terrifying, and they are so frightened that they run around with the flames, and it doesn't take long for more and more little devils to catch fire.

The flames were raging, burning violently, consuming a lot of oxygen, and some of the little devils hiding in the trenches or in the anti-artillery holes, although they were not burned to death, were suffocated to death.

On the little devil position, there are still some areas that are not on fire for the time being, and there are many surviving little devils, these little devils, seeing such a miserable scene in the distance, turned pale with fright.

Immediately, these little devils also tasted the taste of being burned.

The second round of bombing of the Mustang fighter group began immediately, and one after another huge napalm bombs were dropped, and the entire position of the little devils suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and all of them were covered by fire.

The anomaly on the little devil's position was immediately seen by the soldiers in the distance.

"Comrades! Look, the little devil's position is full of fire. ”

"What kind of bomb is that! It's amazing. ”

"Wow, it seems that the smell of meat is wafting over, and the little devils have all turned into roast pigs."

“……”

Looking at the position of the little devils, the soldiers talked happily together, and immediately, many soldiers also knew from their battalion commanders or company commanders that the Mustang fighters dropped napalm just now.

Seeing the napalm show its might, the soldiers cheered.

The raging fire on the little devil's position burned for at least half an hour before it was extinguished, and the little devil's two largest positions outside Tangshan were attacked by napalm, and the little devil suffered heavy losses.

After the fire was extinguished, the soldiers occupied the two positions of the little devils without a single shot, stepping on the ground that was still slightly hot, and seeing the scene in front of them, many soldiers were stunned.

It's hell on earth!

A lot of little devils have been burned to charcoal, a lot of guns have been burned and deformed, there are charred corpses of little devils everywhere, and the things that can be burned on the battlefield have basically been burned clean.

In the entire position, there are no more than three digits of little devils still alive, and these living little devils are also burned to death, miserable, and stabbed to death by soldiers with bayonets, it is a good relief for these little devils to die so happily.

Temporary command of the 9th Column.

Comrade Wu Youqing, the commander, saw the tragic scene on the little devil's position through the telescope, and he was also very emotional, but he did not expect that the napalm was so terrifying.

Before, I had only heard of this kind of bomb, but I didn't expect that its actual effect was so good, it was simply a big artifact that killed little devils, and wherever you threw it, the little devils would die.

At present, with the two largest positions of the little devils burned down by napalm, the remaining slightly smaller positions are much easier to fight, and the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade and the two artillery regiments should also be fired.
