At this time, on the Yangtze River, the three gunboats of the little devils were firing at a position of the 59th Army on the riverside, and a battalion of soldiers was stationed in this position, mainly to defend the little devils from grabbing the beach and landing on the river, and defending several nearby batteries.

Of the three gunboats of the little devils, one is relatively large, with a displacement of more than a thousand tons, and the main guns on the gunboats are 105 mm large-caliber guns, while the other two gunboats are slightly smaller, with an estimated displacement of only four or five hundred tons, and they are also equipped with a 75 mm gun and several machine guns.

The gunboats of the little devils hit the front line of the defensive position of the 59th Army one by one, but fortunately, the 59th Army built a solid cement fortification with a permanent surname, and it was no big deal for the soldiers to hide in the fortifications, but as a soldier, everyone was very aggrieved by the little devil's tricks.

On the little devil's gunboat, several little devils didn't dare to raise their heads when they watched their gunboats hit the opposite squadron, they were standing on the gunboat and laughing arrogantly, and made various provocative actions at the opposite squadron, and the little devil's eyes were also full of contempt.

In the headquarters of the 59th Army, Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Zizhong's face full of anger, so he comforted: "Big brother, don't worry, a few gunboats of the little devil dare to be so arrogant, today, we will tell him to go and never return." ”

"Oh", Zhang Zizhong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Yunfei with interest and said, "Brother, do you have a good way to deal with the little devil's gunboat." ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled mysteriously, and then reminded Zhang Zizhong: "Big brother, have you forgotten our plane at Yichang Airport." ”

Zhang Zizhong suddenly realized, and hurriedly patted his head gently, he was really angry, he didn't expect that Zhang Yunfei's flight team was stationed at Yichang Airport, and there were nearly 20 fighters alone, which was more than enough to deal with a few small gunboats of the little devils.

Zhang Zizhong, who thought about this, immediately changed his anger and grievances just now, and immediately said with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother, then you will order your flying team to attack, and give me a good breath of evil anger." ”

"No problem!" Zhang Yunfei immediately happily agreed.

At Yichang Airport, Gao Zhihang, who received Zhang Yunfei's order, immediately arranged for six Mustang fighters to go to the three gunboats to deal with the little devils.

Just when the little devils were having a good time, there was a roar of planes in the sky, and a few small black dots appeared in the distance, the planes came, and the little devils on the gunboats saw the planes in the distance, and the arrogant laughter became even stronger, and many little devils thought to themselves, but they didn't expect the planes of the empire to also come to join in the fun.

In the hearts of the little devils, many little devils take it for granted that the planes that appear in the sky must be their own planes, and the squadron has no planes, and the only few planes were lost as early as the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.

So many little devils seemed very happy, looking forward to waiting for a good match with their own planes, and hitting the opposite squadron hard, and almost no one on the gunboat carefully observed the planes in the sky.

On the opposite side of the 59th Army's riverside position, the soldiers hiding in the cement fortifications also heard the roar of the plane in the sky, and many soldiers also saw the plane in the sky, but because it was far away, it was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, and most of the soldiers did not look carefully.

Everyone is accustomed to the little devil planes that appear in the sky every three or five times, and today is no exception, everyone agrees that these planes are little devils' planes, but these "little devils' planes" came at this time, which made many soldiers feel even more uncomfortable.

One of the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, his face was full of pain, he held his Czech machine gun, ran beside his company commander, and begged: "Company commander, let me go out and fight with the little devil of the dog!" I've had enough. ”

The company commander held down the soldier who was about to rush out, and said loudly: "Huzi, don't be impulsive, calm down, calm down, you know?" ”

"Hey!" The warrior let out a long sigh of pain and lowered his muzzle helplessly.

Not long after, the planes had already flown over the river, and I saw these planes, under the puzzled gaze of many soldiers of the 59th Army, lower their altitude and began to dive and drop bombs, only to see that each plane dropped two or three huge bombs.

This kind of bomb of more than 100 kilograms, the power is amazing, two of them accurately hit the largest little devil gunboat, the violent explosion sounded on the little devil's gunboat, there was a bomb, the little devil gunboat on the cannon weighing several tons directly exploded, fell into the river,

Another bomb exploded in the middle of the little devil's gunboat, blowing up the little devil's cabin to a thousand holes, and the raging river poured in along the hole in the gunboat, and at the same time the violent explosion tore many of the little devils on the deck to pieces.

After the explosion, the imp's gunboat ignited a raging fire, and the few surviving imps saw that the hull was in the water and the boat caught fire, and immediately jumped into the river with a lifebuoy.

Most of the bombs exploded in the water, setting off waves more than ten meters high, and one bomb exploded near the smallest gunboat of the little devil, and the air waves and shock waves generated by the explosion almost overturned the gunboat of the little devil, and in the violent shaking of the gunboat, many little devils fell into the water.

When the little devils saw that the plane in the sky was not their own plane, but a Chinese plane, they immediately screamed, and a few little devils were so frightened that their hearts were broken, and some of the little devils were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were drenched in cold sweat.

On the opposite riverside position, the soldiers of the 59th Army saw that it was their friendly plane, and immediately cheered and applauded, sweeping away the pain and grievances just now.

The soldier who was about to fight hard with a machine gun just now burst into tears of joy, hugged the company commander in front of him, shook it vigorously, and shouted happily: "Company commander, it's our own plane, it's our own plane, company commander, we're not dreaming." ”

This company commander, who is also experienced in a hundred battles, is also choked at the moment, "Huzi, we are not dreaming, it is really our own plane, it is really our own plane." ”

Above the river, the planes that completed the first round of bombing immediately pulled up, and then with a beautiful maneuver, they began the second round of bombing.

A small number of little devils, holding their own crooked machine guns, strafed the whistling planes, but the speed of the planes was too fast, and the little devils' crooked machine guns had limited air defense power, so they basically did not pose a threat to the Mustang fighters who dive-dropped bombs.

Most of the little devils, seeing that it was impossible to stop the Chinese planes in the sky from dropping bombs, jumped into the river with lifebuoys, and at this time, there were many little devils who fled for their lives scattered on the river.

The second round of bombing by the Mustang fighters began immediately, and everyone dropped all the remaining bombs on the planes, and at least one-third of the dozen or so heavy aerial bombs on the six planes directly hit the two small gunboats.

In a violent explosion, the gunboats of the two little devils were blown to pieces, and many of the little devils on the gunboats who did not have time to escape for their lives were directly killed, and the gunboats of the little devils also began to sink slowly.

On the position of the 59th Army on the riverside, at this time, many soldiers had already walked out of the defensive position, standing outside, looking at this wonderful scene with excited faces, and the soldiers saw that the three little devil gunboats that were still showing off their might just now were burning with raging fire, billowing smoke, and slowly sinking, and everyone immediately cheered again.

There were even a small number of soldiers on the position, shouting at the sky: "The Chinese Air Force is mighty, and the brothers of the 36th Group Army are good." ”

When everyone saw the little devils scattered on the river, who were carrying a lifebuoy on the river and were about to flee downstream, everyone shouted in unison: "Brothers in the sky, kill the little devils on the river, don't let them run away." ”

The six Mustang fighters in the sky, as if they heard the shouts of the soldiers of the 59th Army on the ground, circled in the sky, adjusted the angle, lowered the altitude, and flew towards the river.

But everything the little devil did was in vain, and it didn't take long for the Mustang fighters to start strafing the river, and the planes swept over the river. The strafing of the machine guns stirred up a long series of snow-white waves, and many little devils were hit by machine guns, and a cloud of red blood mist appeared on the river surface, mixed with the screams of the little devils.

It didn't take long for the fighters to kill all the little devils who escaped on the river, the corpses of the little devils loomed in the heart of the river, drifting with the tide, the soldiers on the riverside saw the victory of the Mustang planes, and wiped out the little devils, so they applauded and celebrated, and the six Mustang fighters also cooperated with the hovering over the riverside position before flying to Yichang Airport.

As soon as the plane returned smoothly and arrived at Yichang Airport, Gao Zhihang reported the news of the total annihilation of the little devil gunboat to Zhang Yunfei, who received a call from Gao Zhihang from the airport and said happily again and again, Well done, the flight brigade is doing well.

Zhang Zizhong, who was next to him, was immediately very happy when he saw that the little devil gunboat that had been completely annihilated so quickly, and he was so excited that he held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly and said: "Brother, the flying team is really great, with the flying team stationed in Yichang, I am full of confidence in this battle in the future." ”

The headquarters of the 59th Army in Yichang was jubilant, and everyone was excited, but in the headquarters of the 10th Army of the Little Devils in Wuhan, a telegram had already been received from the Little Devil Gunboat before it was blown up and sunk, and the commander of the 10th Army of the Little Devils looked at the telegram with a solemn face.
