Chapter 1007: Air raids begin
Inside the city of Tianjin, the headquarters of the Japanese army.
Okamura Ninji had already been alarmed, and he, Iizawa Mamoru and other senior generals immediately performed their duties, sat in the headquarters, and commanded all the units of the Japanese puppet army in the city to meet the attack of the dragon's tooth column.
The Japanese army's communications corps, operational staff officers, and one by one hurriedly went in and out, and for a time there was an endless stream, and the entire Japanese army headquarters was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
At the same time, Wanjiazhuang Airport is more than ten kilometers away.
Qiao Youhua and the three of them stood in front of a tarmac, constantly looking towards the entrance of the airport, and behind them were four fighters and bombers that had already been prepared.
Listening to the rumbling cannons and dense gunfire coming from Tianjin City in the distance, and the overwhelming shouts of killing, Qiao Youhua raised his left hand a little impatiently and looked at his watch.
frowned slightly: "It seems that Wu Ming can't make it in time." ”
Ma Biao said without hesitation: "This little four-eyed always drops the chain at critical moments, Dragon King, deduct his military salary for one year!" ”
Jiang Haidong said: "Perhaps, he encountered some trouble on the road, after all, thousands of miles away, although there are cars to travel, but the road conditions of this era, and the quality of the car, all kinds of accidents can happen." ”
Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "Then the three of us." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in stretching out his right fist, looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Brothers together!" ”
Bang! Bang! Ma Biao and Jiang Haidong also stretched out their fists, and the three hard fists collided together as always, and the two responded in unison: "Its profit is gold!" ”
At this moment, the roar of a car engine came quickly from far and near, and the three of them all looked up and turned to look in the direction of the entrance of the airport, only to see a striking swarm of smoke and dust covering the sky on the dirt road leading to the airport.
Soon, the deafening roar of the engine rushed into the airport with the billowing smoke and dust, a dusty, weather-beaten looking military jeep.
In the car, one of the drivers was covered with dust and looked down on his true face.
The military jeep was speeding up until it came to a stop near the tarmac, and an unkempt man with glasses jumped out of the car.
Seeing this, Qiao Youhua and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Wu Ming didn't care about wiping the dust off his face, strode towards Qiao Youhua and the others, arrived in front of him, stood up and saluted: "Dragon King, I'm sorry, I'm a little late!" When I arrived in Cangzhou, the tires of the car were broken, I left a few guards to repair the car, and I took a car from the 2nd Division's guard, and hurried to catch up, but I didn't expect it to be late. ”
Qiao Youhua knew that he had to pay a lot of hardships in such a short period of time to come from Texas, so he didn't need Wu Ming to say much, he could understand, and immediately said: "It's not too late, hurry up and change your clothes, give you five minutes, and we'll set off immediately." ”
Wu Ming looked at his three comrades-in-arms, showed a happy smile, and saluted Qiao Youhua and said, "Yes!" ”
Five minutes later, two Type 95 fighters piloted by Ma Biao and Jiang Haidong successfully took off one after another, followed by Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming, each piloting a Type 91 bomber, and took off one after another.
The roar of the huge aircraft engines resounded over Wanjiazhuang Airport in an instant, and after all of them successfully lifted off, the four of them drove the fighter planes to circle in the air, and then, with the two fighters in front and the bombers behind, formed a small formation and flew towards the urban area of Tianjin, which was shrouded in artillery fire and gunsmoke.
Inside and outside the airport, the officers and soldiers of Longya and the ground staff who had been temporarily transferred from the take-off operation broke out into cheers when they saw that Qiao Youhua and the four of them had really successfully piloted the fighter plane into the sky.
At this time, the attack of the dragon tooth column on Tianjin was at the most intense moment, both sides were red-eyed, and they fought with their lives everywhere, but the combat strength of the devils and the puppet army was obviously inferior to the battle-experienced dragon tooth column, so the casualty ratio of both sides has always been less dragon tooth column and more devils.
If this war is fought like this, without the intervention of external forces, the final victory will definitely be the Dragon's Tooth Column, but everyone knows that from the perspective of the overall strategic situation and the war potential of both sides, the Dragon's Tooth Column wants a quick victory, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be.
After all, Japan is already an industrialized quasi-modern country, and once it is given enough time, its national strength and financial strength will be quickly restored, and at that time, it will not be whether the Dragon's Tooth Column can recover much lost territory, but whether it can withstand the devil's counterattack and re-invasion. That is exactly what the devil wants.
Therefore, Okamura Ninji and other people of insight in the Japanese army would take an active defensive position desperately in order to preserve as many favorable bases in China as possible for the Japanese Empire, and to serve as a bridgehead and springboard for the future counteroffensive.
As mentioned earlier, Wanjiazhuang Airport is only a few dozen miles away from Tianjin City, although in this era, the speed of Japanese fighters is not very fast, but it is also a blink of an eye.
Four fighters passed through the airspace of the area where the two sides were fighting from an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and came to the top of the devil's headquarters in the city.
Because it was known that the Dragon's Tooth Column did not have an air force, the Japanese army headquarters did not move away from the original Tianjin Japanese Army City Defense Headquarters, and the location of this headquarters was not a secret in Tianjin.
Also because they believed that the Dragon's Tooth Column had no air force, Okamura Ninji and Iizawa Mamoru did not deploy air defense forces after they were stationed, but deployed more troops on the ground, and all the traffic arteries, streets and alleys, and commanding heights around the headquarters were garrisoned by Japanese troops, which can be described as impregnable.
It can be said that as long as the Japanese army's defense line outside is not completely lost, the Japanese army headquarters will be as stable as Mount Tai here. However, all this had to be built on the premise that the Dragon's Tooth Column did not have an air force.
Since Wanjiazhuang Airport was captured by the Dragon Tooth Column, a number of fighters fell into the hands of the Dragon Tooth Column, Okamura Ninji was bent on destroying them, not because he was worried that those planes would be used by the Dragon Tooth Column in a short time, but purely to vent his anger.
However, now that the four fighters suddenly flew in, the Japanese army headquarters inside and outside the command could be said to be unprepared, and for a time fell into extreme panic and panic.
"Wu Ming, did you see the courtyard of that building? ? That's the command of the little devils, drop all the bombs I carry, and try to finish them! Qiao Youhua drove the bomber to reduce the altitude and fly towards the target, while reporting to Wu Mingtong through wireless intercom.
"Roger! Got it! Wu Ming responded happily, driving the bomber to follow, and in front of them, Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao had already taken the lead in driving the fighter plane to dive down, straight to the Japanese headquarters, their target would be those exposed Japanese troops and the Japanese high-ranking who might escape, as well as the Japanese anti-aircraft fire points.
