Chapter 682: The Kwantung Army's Revenge (Ask for Subscription!) ）

The counterattack of the Kwantung Army

Looking at the six tongues of fire that suddenly appeared in front of him, the squad leader who had just spoken disrespectfully to the cunning opponent in front of him immediately stayed there and was speechless.

Facing the dense fire network composed of six tongues of fire in front of him, the squad leader knew that with the unresponsive bomber in his hands, he would have to explain here today. However, as an officer of the Kwantung Army who has been influenced by the spirit of bushido for a long time. Even if you die on the battlefield, you have to pull one or two cushions.

As a result, under the differential gaze of several pilots of the Fighter Regiment, the little devil bomber, who was already close to death, did not dodge in the face of the dense rain of bullets. Instead, he raised the fuselage and rushed towards him quickly at his fastest flight speed, ready to come to a jade burn.

"It's not good, the little devil of the dog day wants to burn with us....quick, concentrate the firepower, shoot it down immediately, concentrate the fire..." Sun Guang, the supreme commander of the six fighter planes, hurriedly ordered while being shocked and surprised.

Finally, when the two fighters were less than 500 meters apart, a huge explosion sounded directly opposite the six fighters. The bomber, which was still extremely arrogant just now and was about to die, finally couldn't hold on under the continuous fire of six machine guns, and directly disintegrated in the air and exploded...

"Well played... Comrades, now I order that all fighters immediately form a squad to support other battlefields..."Looking at the Japanese bombers that disintegrated in the air. Then look at the six fighters of our own side that did not damage a single one. Sun Guang's face immediately showed an excited smile and ordered loudly.

In just two rounds, in less than five minutes, three Japanese bombers. Under the combined siege of a total of six fighters of our first regiment, the whole army was annihilated.

The remaining three bomber squads, under the fierce attack of more than a dozen fighter planes, were also beaten to the ground.

Five minutes of air combat, except for the Japanese squadron leader, a squad leader. Piloting his own landline, with skillful driving skills, he evaded the attacks of the fighters again and again, and escaped from the encirclement of the fighters in a hurry. The remaining ten bombers, none of which escaped the net, all turned into huge fireballs that slowly fell.

"Regiment commander, the two little devil planes have escaped, do you want to pursue them immediately...."Looking at the two little devil bombers that flew away quickly. The excited voice of the squadron leader of the first squadron reached the ears of the regiment commander Peng Longfei.

"Captain Wang, don't worry. Don't forget, the 12 bombers of the 3rd Squadron are waiting for the little devils to slip through the net. Now I order the 1st and 2nd squadrons to return at once, refill with fuel and ammunition, and prepare for a possible counterattack by the Kwantung Army. As for the Kwantung Army's fish that slipped through the net, it will be handed over to the third squadron..."As soon as the words of the squadron leader of the first squadron fell, Commander Peng Longfei ordered with a decisive face.

"Yes, Commander...."

Twenty-four fighter planes, under the command of regiment commander Peng Longfei, achieved the tremendous result of shooting down 10 enemy planes without paying any price. Then, under the command of the regiment commander Peng Longfei, with the joy of victory, he flew back to Fengtian Airport.

At this moment, after dozens of minutes of bloody fighting, one of the two bombers that successfully escaped from the encirclement belonged to the squadron leader. As for the other bomber, it was none other than Captain Konoha, the most trusted confidant of the leader of the Japanese bomber squadron.

After a few minutes of flight, after the frightened Captain Konoha, he slowly reacted from the shock. looked straight ahead, the squadron leader who escaped with him. Captain Xiao Ye said with a frightened expression.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, when did the people of China have their own air force. If it weren't for the fact that the pilots of China had little combat experience, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to escape from the encirclement of the people of China with the help of bombers piloted by their humble duties. ”

"Xiao Yejun is right, I didn't expect when the people of China had such a powerful air force. It's just a pity that our bomber squadron, one squadron, a whole 12 bombers, only two of us remained. However, according to the current strength of the China Air Force, it is absolutely impossible to let the two of us go easily..."The squadron leader replied with a worried face while being angry. ,

"Nani? Won't let either of us go... Your Excellency Squadron Leader, what should we do next? As soon as the squadron leader's words fell, Captain Xiao Ye, whose nervousness had just calmed down for less than a minute, became nervous again. Turning into the microphone on the side of his mouth, he asked eagerly.

"Koba-kun, as an excellent samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, even if we die on the battlefield, we will do our last part for the Great Japanese Empire. All of us, we must report the news of the air battle that happened in the sky over Mukden and the fact that the Northeast Field Army of China has an air force to the Kwantung Army Command before the jade is shattered, so that the Kwantung Army Command can avenge us..."The squadron leader said with a decisive face.

"Ha Yi, please give an order, Your Excellency Squadron Leader..."Captain Xiao Ye replied.

"Yo Xi, Xiao Yejun, now I order, you are responsible for patrolling and guarding, and if there is any situation, report it immediately. I immediately reported to the Kwantung Army command on the radio that my bomber squadron had been ambushed. The squadron leader then ordered.

"Hayi...."

A few minutes later, with the last word of the telegram, accompanied by radio waves, flew towards the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, which was hundreds of kilometers away. The two bombers that escaped by luck had already flown away from the Mukden domain. However, just in front of them, the 3rd Squadron, which had already received a specific briefing from the regiment commander Peng Longfei, was already waiting for the two bombers to throw themselves into the net.

"Squadron leader, the two bombers that escaped from our encirclement have appeared in the airspace two kilometers in front of our third squadron, and they may engage at any time..."

"Okay, it's finally here."

The squadron leader said excitedly. Immediately, he commanded loudly into the microphone next to his mouth.

"Comrades, the main forces eat meat, let's drink soup. Now, the soup has arrived. We had 12 fighters, and the enemy had only two bombers with little combat effectiveness. With the third squadron having an absolute advantage, if we can't shoot down these two enemy planes, then we might as well go home and pick up our children. ”

"Captain, don't worry, we promise to complete the task and let the little devil come and go..." As soon as the squadron leader's voice fell, the voice of one of his squad leaders came from the earphones.

"Well said, let's let the little devil come and go today. Now I order, the first squad, to attack the bombers in front. The second squad, attacking the rear bombers. As for the third squad, they will be prepared for it, and if the first and second squads fail to attack, they will attack immediately. In a word, let go of the little devil bomber, and then, we didn't have a good life. The squadron leader ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, Squadron Leader..."

"Very good, squad 1 or 2, get ready immediately to meet the enemy..."....

In less than five minutes, under the blow of the absolute superior firepower of 12 fighter planes, two huge explosions soon sounded in the sky. The two bombers, without any accidents, together with the pilots, directly turned into two huge fireballs.

Under the fierce blows of the first group of fighters, none of the bombers in charge of the attack escaped the net, and the whole army was wiped out. And at this moment, the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Changchun, which was far away, was also full of gunpowder.

Looking at the losses handed over to him by the commander of the Air Force, and thinking of an hour ago, the command received information from the Air Force Command that the Northeast Field Army had formed an air force unit. The commander, General Umejiro Mitsu, roared loudly at the officers in front of him.

"Baga, Bage Yalu, what the hell is your intelligence department doing? The Northeast Field Army has such a powerful air force, and we don't even have any news. An entire squadron, 12 heavy bombers, was lost to your mistakes. You should all apologize to His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Please calm your anger, your Excellency, it is a dereliction of duty, and you are willing to accept any punishment from Your Excellency Commander..." What the chief of the intelligence section of the Kwantung Army could do was to keep his head down and not say a word.

"Punishment? You bastard, do you still have a little bit of Teijin's backbone? The urgency of the delay now is not to punish them, but to find a way to avenge the broken air force warriors. Nip out the air force units of the Northeast Field Army in the bud. Otherwise, according to the development trend of the Northeast Field Army, in the near future, the units of our Kwantung Army will be lost, and only air superiority will remain. Impatiently interrupted the answer of the intelligence chief in front of him. The commander, Admiral Umejiro Mitsu, reprimanded with an angry face. ,

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise...."Facing the commander with an angry face, the officers quickly replied.

"Wise....if wise, the Northeast Field Army can develop from less than 10,000 troops to a group army with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries under the heavy encirclement of our Kwantung Army. And also in such a short period of time, the development of an air force unit of such a size. Let's talk about it, what to do, how to solve this rapidly rising hidden danger..."After glaring at the subordinates in front of him fiercely at everyone's flattering words, he retorted with an angry face.

Under the repeated rhetorical questions of His Excellency the Commander, the chief of staff, who was standing at the front, could only be the first to stand up and speak.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, I think that what Your Excellency Commander just said is very correct, we must nip the air force units of the Northeast Field Army in the bud. Otherwise, we won't have such a good chance after it grows..."

"Yo Xi, the chief of staff said very well, I don't know, do you have any good suggestions?" The commander nodded approvingly, and then asked with a puzzled expression.

"According to the reconnaissance of our intelligence department, in the entire Liaoning region, only Fengtian Airport can be used as an air base for the Northeast Field Army. According to the intelligence from the Air Force Command, in the battle an hour ago, the Northeast Field Army dispatched only one group of fighters... Combining this information, the size of the air force units of the Northeast Field Army is at most only one aviation division. And the base of this aviation division is at the Mukden airfield...", replied the chief of staff pointedly.

"Chief of Staff, you mean, immediately dispatch air forces to destroy the entire Mukden airfield...", the commander replied thoughtfully.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise. As long as we can destroy the entire Mukden airfield, destroy all the combat aircraft staying in the airfield. After losing its planes, the air force units of the Northeast Field Army really existed in name only. The chief of staff replied.

Faced with the chief of staff's proposal, the commander, General Umejiro Mitsu, immediately fell into deep thought and began to think about the pros and cons. Finally, a minute later, in the midst of everyone's anxious waiting, the commander's eyes immediately flashed a hint of sharpness. Immediately behind, he raised his head and commanded with a decisive face to his subordinates in front of him.

"Yo Xi, that's it. Chief of Staff, immediately give the Air Force Commander an operational order. “

"Concentrate all the combat planes at Changchun airfield, take off an hour later, bomb and destroy the entire Mukden airfield. Eliminate the air force units of the Northeast Field Army in the bud. Go and give orders at once, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise..."

"Buzz, buzz...", with a loud roar, began to sound in Changchun Airport. Major General Jing Chuan, commander of the Japanese Air Force, personally led a flying division and a huge flight formation consisting of more than 30 fighters and more than 70 bombers, flew into the sky and headed for the Mukden airfield, the target of the bombing.

Inside the Mukden airfield, the first battle of the aviation regiment ended with a result of twelve to zero. In the end, the victory of the total annihilation of the Japanese bomber squadron was achieved. At this moment, the entire airport, whether it was all the pilots of the First Fighter Regiment that had just participated in the battle, or the ground staff in the airport, were immersed in the joy of victory.

However, Xiao Hua, as the commander of the aviation regiment, was not happy for long. After congratulating the 36 pilots on their victory, Commander Xiao Hua frowned and returned to his office.

Because he believes that with the character of the Japanese army and his understanding of the Japanese army. In this air battle, the Kwantung Army suffered such a big loss, it was impossible not to retaliate. And just before the start of the air battle, the commander-in-chief also repeatedly explained himself, paying attention to the counterattack of the air force units of the Kwantung Army ....

Thinking of this kind of thought, Xiao Hua's frowning brows wrinkled even deeper. If the Kwantung Army counterattacked, then, in a few hours, what awaited them would inevitably be an unprecedented attack by the Kwantung Army's air force. And in his own hands, there is only one anti-aircraft artillery regiment and a destroyer regiment that can be used.

How to protect the entire airport from losses with limited troops has become a question that Xiao Hua thinks about the most at this moment. However, just when Xiao Hua was still in deep thought when he looked at the map in front of him. A loud report reached his ears. ,

"Report to Commander Xiao, Wang Kai, commander of the air defense division directly under the Northeast Field Army, who was ordered to come and report..."

"Senior Commander Wang, are you..."For the sudden arrival of Senior Commander Wang Kai at the door of the office, Xiao Hua asked with a puzzled expression.

"Commander Xiao, the situation is like this. The commander-in-chief learned the good news that the Air Corps had won the first battle and had successfully shot down 12 Japanese bombers. Fearing retaliation by the air force units of the Kwantung Army, the air defense division was transferred to assist the aviation regiment and encircle the entire Mukden airfield. According to the commander-in-chief's request, I have brought a total of three anti-aircraft artillery regiments and one anti-aircraft machine gun regiment with me this time...."Facing the doubts of Commander Xiao Hua in front of him, Wang Kai hurriedly replied.

"Good, good... Master Wang, you are really timely. Just now I was still worried about how our air regiment would defend the airfield if the air force of the Kwantung Army launched a retaliatory air strike against our Mukden airfield. Now with reinforcements from air defense divisions, I don't have to worry about it ... The commander-in-chief thought it was really good...", after learning the specific reason. The frown on Xiao Hua's face immediately relaxed. Holding the hands of Master Wang Kai in front of him tightly, he said excitedly.

"Commander Xiao, the four regiments of our air defense division have now rushed to the periphery of the airport. Comrade Commander, please give the battle order immediately..."After a few minutes of excitement, Wang Kai cautiously reminded.

"Senior Commander Wang, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, the crisis may come at any time, and we must hurry up and deploy. The specific situation is this, at present our aviation regiment has an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, plus three anti-aircraft artillery regiments in your hands, a total of four anti-aircraft artillery regiments. My opinion is that there are four anti-aircraft artillery regiments, which are deployed in four directions of the airfield, under your unified command. With dense firepower, an impermeable fire net was created over the airport. Then, shoot down all the Japanese planes that dared to attack the airfield. ”

"As for the anti-aircraft machine-gun regiments, they were scattered in companies at all the commanding heights in the airfield. Responsible for the elimination of Japanese aircraft that could break through the net of anti-aircraft artillery fire. ”

"Please rest assured, Commander Xiao, with my Wang Kai here, I will definitely not let the air force of the Kwantung Army be arrogant in the sky above my Fengtian Airport. Commander Xiao, time is pressing, I'll go down to arrange, and when the time comes, prepare a huge surprise for the little devil..."Regarding Xiao Hua's order, Wang Kai replied confidently.

"Go ahead, Master Wang. This time, the two of us will work together to defeat the possible retaliatory attack of the Kwantung Army Air Force in World War I, and deal a fatal blow to the Kwantung Army Air Force Force..."As he spoke, Xiao Hua's face was slowly replaced by a confident look.
