Devastating air strikes

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our army was suddenly hit by unknown enemy artillery fire, and the troops suffered heavy losses, and even His Excellency the Chief of Staff was shattered. At present, the entire wing, under the sudden blow of the enemy, has fallen into chaos. What's next....what should we do next? Seeing the wing-captain's eyes full of anger in front of him, the squadron leader of the guard squadron beside him hurriedly told what he knew.

"Nani, unidentified artillery fire... How can this be, what kind of artillery fire can destroy so many troop carriers of our army in one salvo. Impossible, absolutely impossible..."After a short period of truth, Takahashi asked with an incredulous expression.

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the lowly position is not clear. At the moment, more than half of the troops have been lost, and they have fallen into chaos, which can almost be called combat effectiveness ...."

"Eight Tooth Road... Order the troops, immediately carry out the contraction, the individual troops, organize the defense on the spot ... The communications staff officer immediately reported the situation of our army to the headquarters of the North China Front Army and asked for tactical guidance..."After a short period of shock, I saw the soldiers of the Imperial Army in the middle of the convoy, constantly struggling in the midst of the flames. Takahashi Daisa, who reacted, commanded loudly.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Wing Captain...."

Japanese reinforcements, a ghost soldier of an infantry wing, have not yet engaged in any head-to-head combat with the 3rd Special Operations Regiment. Just under the blow of more than a hundred bazookas, about two-thirds of the combat effectiveness was lost. The entire wing was almost crippled, and it no longer had the combat ability to continue the offensive.

The second wave of reinforcements discharged by the Japanese army, because there was no transportation by car, did not arrive at the battlefield out of breath until an hour later. However, at this moment, the Tianjin Airport, under the attack of the Second Special Operations Regiment, has turned into a sea of fire. About 180 intact combat planes, also piloted by pilots, were successfully flown into the sky.

Li Xingguo, the top commander of all the pilots in this assault on Tianjin Airport, was driving the last light bomber in the airport, under the command of the tower, successfully took off, and his teammates were completely in the sky and after. A total of 186 combat planes of various types have all taken to the skies and have begun to hover over the airfield, waiting for him to give a specific order to return to the Mukden airfield.

However, just when Li Xingguo was about to give the order to return home. The battle of artillery on the ground was reflected in his eyes. At the same time, the scene of the bomber's belly being full of aerial bombs before taking off also came into his mind.

Thinking of this, Li Xingguo's face immediately showed a thick murderous aura. At the same time, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Having already made a decision in his heart, he quickly commanded the microphone next to his lips.

"Comrades, teammates of the special operations division, in order to protect these planes, in order to cover our successful flight of aircraft. At present, it has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army. Now, with the aircraft in our hands, we have mastered all the air supremacy of the entire battle. A retreat could be carried out at any time, but it was difficult for the ground combat forces, surrounded by heavy Japanese troops, to successfully break through without reinforcements from troops. ”

"So, I decided to lead everyone and use our landlines to cover the ground forces for a breakthrough. Now I order all combat aircraft, under the command of their respective squad leaders, to disperse to support the ground forces in the operation. I will give you ten minutes, and after ten minutes, all combat planes must consume all the ammunition on board, assemble over the airport, and return to Mukden Airport. ”

"Captain, you can rest assured that the task will be completed. Tonight, let the little devils also taste what kind of fate it will be when they are hit by superior air fire after losing air support..."

"Please rest assured, the captain will ensure that he will complete the mission and will definitely consume all the ammunition on the plane to the little devil on the ground. Let them taste the taste of being fried...."

"Please rest assured, captain, promise to complete the task, and treat the little devil well..."

…… As soon as the captain Li Xingguo's words fell, the excited voices of all the squad leaders came from the earphones.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 combat planes hovering over the airfield immediately dispersed in small formations, and quickly dived towards the area where the exchange of fire on the ground was most fierce and the largest number of Japanese troops gathered. On the highway about five kilometers away from Tianjin Airport, a fire dragon composed of countless torches is rapidly advancing towards the location of the airport. This two-kilometer-long contingent was an infantry wing that had just been drawn from the Tianjin Defense Force after learning of the devastating blow to the first wave of reinforcements.

Less than two kilometers in front of this road, the first batch of reinforcements sent by the Japanese army, an infantry wing, and after a fierce blow, the remaining 1,000 or so people were engaged in a fierce battle for position with the 3rd Special Operations Regiment under the command of Wing Commander Takahashi Daisa.

Although, the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment is very strong. However, this toughness is limited to various special operations. In regular field warfare, in the face of the little devils with superior troops, the Third Special Operations Regiment did not have too many advantages. At this moment, the battle for the position of the two armies has entered the most intense, and it can be said that it is a critical juncture.

As you can imagine, at such a critical juncture. If the living force of an infantry wing of the Japanese army suddenly joins the battlefield, it will surround the two German forces that are in the midst of fierce fighting. What kind of situation will the Third Special Operations Regiment, which is currently in the midst of a bitter battle, fall into, and what kind of outcome will it face?

And at this moment, Li Xingguo, the captain who knows the entire battlefield situation well, did not hesitate. Immediately, he led a squadron of light bombers behind him and rushed towards the position where the second wave of Japanese reinforcements on the ground was located. Prepare to use bombers to stop the second wave of Japanese reinforcements and reduce the pressure on the third ground special operations regiment.

"Comrades, the teammates of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment have reached a critical juncture of life and death. Now I order, indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese reinforcements, the crushing of the Japanese reinforcements, and the reduction of the pressure on the 3rd Special Operations Regiment on the ground..."

Li Xingguo's order immediately aroused the most primitive blood in the hearts of the soldiers. As soon as the captain's words fell, the dozens of bombers following Li Xingguo immediately swooped towards their bombing targets like bloodthirsty eagles that had discovered their prey.

"Buzz buzz..."A huge roar of an airplane, from far and near, quickly transmitted to the ears of every little devil on the ground. The fire dragon, which was still moving fast just now, immediately stopped abruptly in place.

Because, in the understanding of these little devils, the combat aircraft equipped by the Great Japanese Empire did not yet have the ability to sail at night. Facing the roar of the engine in the sky, everyone's faces showed a look of doubt. Some soldiers are already imagining that the Tianjin airfield, which they are about to reinforce, has fallen. Otherwise, why would the airport pilot risk the cost of destroying the plane and killing people, and rashly drive the plane into the air in the dark night?

Ordinary soldiers have such thoughts, and Kawada Daisa, as the supreme commander of this reinforcement force, also has this idea. Wing Commander Kawada Daisa, who was sitting in the only armored car of the entire reinforcement force, listened to the loud roar from the sky, and also frowned himself, and asked rhetorically to the chief of staff beside him.

"Chief of Staff, what's going on, where did the planes come from in the sky. As far as I know, in the entire Pingjin region, only the Tianjin airfield has combat aircraft ...."

"Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, it is not clear what you are doing....According to the operational regulations of our army, in order to avoid the cost of aircraft destruction and loss of life due to night takeoff. Except in case of emergency, it is forbidden for any combat aircraft to take off rashly at night. If nothing else, the current Tianjin Airport has reached a life-and-death juncture. Even, it may even be...," replied the chief of staff cautiously.

"Nani? What do you mean is that the reason why these planes took off in a hurry at the risk of destroying their planes and killing people is that it is very likely that the Tianjin airfield, which we need reinforcements, has already fallen...."After hearing the chief of staff's answer, the wing commander asked with a shocked expression.

However, after understanding the specific meaning of the Chief of Staff's words, Wing Commander Kawada Daisa was immediately relieved. Immediately, he ordered to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the airport garrison to inquire about the current situation at the airport. At the same time, call Takahashi Daisa in front to see if the troops break through the defense line of the Shina people ...

"Hayi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander..."

"Wait a minute, order the signal corps, immediately call the air force in the air, get in touch with the air pilot, and ask about the specific situation." Wing Commander Kawada Daisa continued to order. , however, just when the chief of staff had just pushed the car door and had not yet had time to get out of the armored car. A sharp whistling sound reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, the face of the wing commander who was riding in the armored car also turned pale in an instant.

"Woooooo

"Your Excellency Wing Commander, be careful, air strikes..."

"Boom, boom..."

A series of 50-kilogram aerial bombs rained down the road in the middle of the dense formation. And the armored vehicle in which the Japanese wing commander was riding, this particular target, was located right in the center of the attack range.

The explosive power of a 50-kilogram aerial bomb is not comparable to the explosion of a 105-mm rocket. As one aerial bomb after another exploded, huge fireballs began to rise up on the road. On the highway without any concealment, with the explosion point as the center, all the devil soldiers within a radius of several tens of meters fell in a pool of blood like wheat that had been cut down.

As for the armored command vehicle that carried the Japanese Wing Commander Kawada Daisa, the Chief of Staff and others. Again, there are no surprises. In the explosion of a close-range aerial bomb, it was thrown high into the sky like a toy. Then, it fell heavily on both sides of the road and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

As for Kawada Daisa, who was riding in an armored car, although there were countless guards dutifully protecting him. However, in the face of such a powerful aerial bomb, the fate of death was also not escaped. Together with the armored vehicle and several staff officers in the car, it was smashed into meatloaf, and not even a single intact corpse remained.

Wing Commander Kawada Daisa, who was protected by armored vehicles, was not spared by the explosion of one aerial bomb after another. It is conceivable that ordinary infantry of little devils, located in front and behind the armored vehicles, advancing quickly in two formations, and without any protection. In the face of such a powerful bomb, there is basically only one way out, and that is to die on the spot.

An airplane and dozens of aerial bombs exploded in a straight line as they landed in the ranks of the Japanese marching troops. In just a few seconds, a gap of 500 meters appeared in the column, which stretched for several kilometers. And in this 500-meter-long gap, most of the devil soldiers of the infantry brigade fell in a pool of blood and turned into corpses.

After a plane dropped a bomb and climbed back into the air. Another plane followed, appearing over the marching column of the little devils, and began to drop the bombs in the second round.

Round after round. For a while, one aerial bomb after another, like rain, fell in the middle of the Japanese marching column, which stretched for several kilometers. One by one, the devil soldiers, under the attack of bombs like raindrops, in the explosion of such powerful aerial bombs, there was no possibility of surviving at all.

The screams of the soldiers, the explosion of aerial bombs, like a symphony, began to sound on the road that stretched for several kilometers. In less than 10 minutes, more than a dozen tons of ammunition carried by dozens of bombers in the sky were all poured on the heads of these little devils, sending pieces of little devils into the western sky.

More than 20 bombers successfully completed the bombing mission. On the highway, the reinforcements of an infantry wing of the Japanese army, in the face of bombers raging in the air, tasted for the first time that they could only be bombed without air reinforcements. And during the ten-minute bombing, the only thing they could do was to run for their lives and pray, hoping that they could escape the bombers in the air.

However, in this ten-minute fierce bombardment, most of the little devils' wishes were frustrated. In the face of more than 20 bombers, the saturation bombing of more than a dozen tons of aerial bombs, and the road, which stretched for less than three kilometers, was almost ploughed by raindrops of bombs, and it was almost impossible to find a single intact land.

As the smoke shrouded in the highway slowly dissipated, the tragic scene on the highway slowly appeared in everyone's eyes. On the highway several kilometers long, the originally smooth road surface has appeared densely packed with large potholes with a depth of two meters. As for the area around the pit, there are broken arms of little devils, a corpse with blurred flesh and blood, and floating soil stained red with blood...

And the reinforcements of an infantry wing of the Japanese army, after ten minutes of intensive bombardment. As the sound of the explosion stopped, the soldiers who were just able to stand up on the entire road were less than the strength of a squadron. As for the whole road, you can hear the heart-rending screams of the wounded and sick everywhere...., and on the road, under the reflection of piles of bonfires. Seeing the tremendous results achieved by more than 20 light bombers behind him on the highway stretching for several kilometers, Captain Li Xingguo, who led the team, immediately showed an excited smile on his face. Turning into the microphone next to his mouth, he commanded excitedly.

"Comrades, well done. The devil soldiers of a wing of the Japanese army have lost their combat effectiveness under our repeated bombardment. Now I order, all combat aircraft, immediately return home, to the airfield. Then, form a flight formation and prepare to rush back to Mukden Airport before dawn..."

"Yes, captain, prepare to return...."Li Xingguo's voice just fell, and in the concentration, the equally excited voices of his teammates came. Obviously, at this moment, the teammates who flew the plane are happy and excited that they have achieved such a huge result with their first record.

"Okay, return immediately..."Li Xingguo ordered unusually decisively. As he spoke, his landline flew away from the battlefield with a sharp whistle that broke through the air.

In 10 minutes, more than 20 light bombers led by Li Xingguo successfully defeated an infantry wing of the Japanese army with bombs prepared by the Japanese, causing this infantry wing to completely lose its combat effectiveness. At the same time, the 3rd Special Operations Regiment, which was in trouble, was successfully rescued from the encirclement that the Japanese army was about to form. Of course, these more than 20 light bombers are only responsible for sorties, and less than one-sixth of all combat aircraft.

As for the remaining more than 100 combat planes, they visited the area around the Tianjin airfield, all the military bases of the Japanese army, and the barracks in the past ten minutes. Even the Tianjin wharf, about a dozen kilometers away from the airport, was visited by dozens of fighters and bombers.

The entire wharf, together with a dozen or so large warehouses stockpiled with supplies for the North China Front. Under the continuous bombing of a large number of bombers, none of them were spared, and all of them turned into a sea of fire. At the same time, several warships staying at the Tianjin wharf also turned into fireballs under the sudden air strike, waiting for the end of sinking.

In 10 minutes, all the brightly lit Japanese puppet military camps and important military installations in the entire Pingjin area became the best bombing targets for more than 100 combat planes.

With the end of the ten-minute bombardment, the Supreme Headquarters of the North China Front immediately received one telegram after another for help like snowflakes. It was only at this moment that the Supreme Commander of the North China Front Army knew that the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army's operation was the accident in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, and the Tianjin Airport, which the Eighth Route Army had coveted for a long time.

Of course, what made the commander feel even more desperate was that in the space of 10 minutes, more than 100 combat planes at the Tianjin airfield had dealt a devastating blow to almost the entire North China Front Army in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
