Just as the counteroffensive troops under Liu Jianhua were preparing to attack, dozens of fighters of his land-based air force, which had cooperated with the Japanese counteroffensive, finally arrived from Huludao, Jinzhou, and other directions.

After arriving in the airspace near the battlefield, these Japanese fighters ignored the battlefield outside the airport filled with gunsmoke, and instead rushed straight to the airport with the terminal.

Like a flock of vultures, it roared down and swooped down.

Fortunately, the air defense brigade did not relax its vigilance because of the counteroffensive launched by its ground forces, except for the ten 88 anti-aircraft guns that were deployed to support the counteroffensive, the rest of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were all guarding their air defense positions.

Therefore, as soon as the enemy aircraft appeared, it was detected.

Zhou Zhibing, who was sitting near an anti-aircraft gun position and taking a nap, stood up in shock, and immediately shouted: "Give me a hard beat!" Don't let the little devils get their way! ”

The air defense brigade was once again full firepower, and Liu Jianhua was also taken aback after getting the news in the command center: "Damn, the little devil is cunning enough, the air raid came batch after batch, and immediately ordered the armored guard battalion to set up all the machine guns and fully cooperate with the air defense brigade to intercept the enemy plane." ”

At this time, there was only one armored guard battalion left by Liu Jianhua's side, and he threw himself into the air defense battle without hesitation.

Whoosh ...... The anti-aircraft machine gun was the first to let out a roar, continued to roar, fired at high speed, countless high-power armor-piercing shells pierced the air, emitted a piercing whistling sound, and fired in a chain pattern at the group of enemy planes diving in the air.

The 88MM anti-aircraft guns opened fire right after, and the devil's land-based aviation did not expect to be intercepted by such dense anti-aircraft fire before they arrived at Wanjiazhuang Airport.

Therefore, as soon as the guns and cannons rang out below, the dense anti-aircraft fire was continuous, which frightened them a lot, and even a devil fighter plane that dived in front couldn't avoid it, and was hit by a string of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and the bullets penetrated the glass of the cockpit of the plane, directly killing the devil pilot inside.

The Devil Fighter quickly lost control, spun around, and fell to the ground.

The rest of the devil fighters hurriedly pulled up, or flew left and right to avoid the anti-aircraft fire on the ground.

But in this way, they could not go to the air raid to bomb Wanjiazhuang Airport, because the fighters and bombers of this era did not carry all kinds of precision-guided air-to-ground or air-to-air missiles.

Whether it is the dive strafing of fighter planes or the bombing of bombers, they all have to rely on the naked eye to lock on, and high-altitude bombing is extremely poor, and a large number of aircraft groups are generally used to carry out large-scale coverage bombing.

Therefore, if the devil can't see the target, or in other words, if he can't get close to the airport, he can't destroy the own fighters in the airport that fall into the hands of the dragon's tooth column.

Although the speed of the plane was very fast, it was much slower than the anti-aircraft artillery shells and anti-aircraft machine gun shells, and the fire of the air defense brigade was very dense and sudden, which caught the devil pilots off guard.

Therefore, while the other fighters of the devil turned around and pulled up to dodge, two more enemy planes were hit one after another, both of which were hit by the blast wave of anti-aircraft shells, and exploded in the air on the spot, turning into debris and fire.

Looking at the splendid firepower network in the air and the brutal air defense battle, an adjutant from the brigade headquarters came to Liu Jianhua's side and said to him, who was holding a telescope and watching his own air defense battle: "Brigade seat, now that the devils have another batch of fighters, will our counteroffensive plan be postponed?" Wait until the enemy fighter is repelled before executing? ”

Liu Jianhua put down the binoculars, turned his head and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "The fighter plane is fleeting, how can it change the order overnight?" The enemy's planes had their own air defense brigade to deal with it, and told the attacking troops to carry out the original plan for Lao Tzu, and at all costs, drive the little devil to five kilometers away. ”

The adjutant lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Yes, I understand the humble position." ”

In fact, in such a melee situation, the attacking devil pilots also fell into a dilemma, and they never imagined that Wanjiazhuang Airport, which had just fallen into the hands of the Dragon's Tooth Column, would become so dense with anti-aircraft firepower.

"Sir, with such dense anti-aircraft fire, obviously, the damned Shina people have been prepared, and this mission may be difficult to complete." On the devil's on-board radio, a devil pilot said in a panicked tone.

Another leader of the team, the Devil Flying Captain, while piloting the landline to evade the interception of the ground anti-aircraft fire, formed a joint counter-fire with the wingman to dive and strafe several air defense positions on the ground.

Kill Quack! It is a shame for the Imperial soldiers to fire with all their might, cover the bombers flying over this airspace with dense anti-aircraft firepower, bomb the airfield, and destroy the fallen Imperial fighters in the airfield at all costs, and they must not be allowed to fall intact into the hands of the despicable China! You guys understand?! ”

Soon, a resolute response came over the radio of the devil's other planes: "Hail! Hail! Hail! ”

However, some devils were extremely unlucky, and just made up their minds to fight to the death, they were hit by the roaring dense anti-aircraft fire, and the fighters instantly caught fire and exploded, and the rumbling explosion was transmitted to the other devil fighters through radio waves, which was terrifying, making the scalps of other devil pilots numb and timid, and the heart of death that had just risen was like a tide in an instant.

At this time, the anti-aircraft guns and tank guns covering the ground had begun to extend towards the rear of the enemy positions, and thousands of Longya infantry, under the cover of dozens of No. 4 tank fighting vehicles, swarmed upwards and rushed towards the positions captured by the Japanese.

"Rush! Kill! "Countless dragon's tooth infantry roared with all kinds of weapons, and charged bravely.

The ground troops of the devil were caught off guard by the artillery raid of the Dragon's Tooth Column just now, not to mention the heavy casualties, and they had not yet recovered from the panic, so they gave the counterattacking troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column a precious time to charge.

Under the cover of tanks, the soldiers were able to rush through the most dangerous distance of three to five hundred meters without any hindrance, and rushed to a place less than two hundred meters away from the Japanese trenches.

At this time, although the devil had already found himself back to his senses and began to fire back one after another, but at this distance, it was already under the absolute artillery fire of the Dragon's Tooth Tank and the fire of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, and the submachine guns in the hands of the Dragon's Tooth infantry and the semi-automatic rifles of the Sun-destroying infantry could also give the enemy effective firepower to counterattack.

General-purpose machine guns and grenadier mortars can pose a great threat to the devils, and a tragic offensive and defensive battle officially began.
