Chapter 1078: Easy Annihilation
Chapter 1078: Easy Annihilation
The ground garrison and air defense units of the Japanese airfield in Jinzhou had no idea that as soon as their fighters flew away, a group of enemy fighters would attack, so when Li Yansan led more than 40 of his own fighters to launch a surprise air attack on Jinzhou airfield, the devil's air defense units were completely defenseless.
Da Da Da ...... Tom tom tom ...... The on-board machine guns and cannons suddenly opened fire, and a large amount of scorching bullets rained down in a dazzling tongue of fire, enveloping several anti-aircraft positions set up by the devils around the airport.
Li Yansan and the members of the Falcon Flying Regiment have studied in Germany for so long, and they have participated in many air raids with the German Air Force, plus the guidance of Qiao Youhua and other four super soldiers, so they have a deep grasp of air raids and air combat.
Air strikes on airfields, of course, are the first to hit the air defense positions of the devils, and then the infrastructure of airfields such as runways, oil depots, ammunition depots and terminals.
The dense rain of bullets poured down, and the devil air defense soldiers were caught off guard, and they all fell in a pool of blood with screams, and some air defense ammunition was also hit by machine gun shells, resulting in a martyrdom!
Some of the devil's air defense soldiers and orderlies who were hiding under the bunkers of the air defense positions were killed and injured in an instant, and they died tragically on the spot.
In less than three minutes, the more than 30 fighters escorting the escort destroyed all the Japanese air defense positions around Jinzhou Airport, and the devil's air defense troops were also killed and wounded. In addition, more than a dozen bombers began to bomb several extravagant places in the airfield with impunity.
In less than five minutes, the bombers of the Dragon's Tooth Corps dropped hundreds of bombs, all of which were high-explosive and heavy aerial bombs, and the Jinzhou Airport was blown into ruins.
The fighters were not idle, and launched a frantic air raid and strafing on the Japanese troops who rushed to Jinzhou City after hearing the news, causing great damage to the devils.
When the air raid was completed, they flapped their wings and began to return with a swagger.
Since the Chinese army had never had an air force capable of posing a threat to the Japanese air force, let alone an air raid on the Japanese theater, the Japanese army, which believed that it had absolute air supremacy, was very weak in the allocation of air defense forces.
Even, the number of anti-aircraft weapons equipped by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the Kwantung Army is not as large as that of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, and the Japanese army does not have any German-style 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped with the Dragon's Tooth Corps, only 37mm Japanese-style anti-aircraft guns, which are backward in performance, short in range, and insufficient in power.
Therefore, as long as the Japanese fighters are defeated, the Dragon Tooth Corps will also be equivalent to seizing air supremacy outside the pass.
Shenyang, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.
Deputy Chief of Staff Saburo Nato was in charge of the sending, receiving, and processing of confidential documents, and when the communications staff officer gave him the telegram he had just received, he took a look at it, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he immediately stumbled into the war room.
There, Hideki Tojo, a senior soldier, was discussing the military situation with Kimura Hyotaro, saying that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was where Tojo Hideki expressed his opinions, and the chief of staff, Kimura Hyotaro, nodded from time to time, because he is now very disappointed in Tojo Hideki, this arrogant guy, no wonder Ishihara Waner will call him a first-class soldier, Kimura Hyotaro even has a premonition that the battle of Liaoxi, the imperial army is likely to be defeated.
Just when Kimura Hyotaro was restless to deal with Hideki Tojo, Deputy Chief of Staff Nagado Saburo suddenly ran in in a hurry, and seeing Endo Saburo's panicked expression, Kimura Hyotaro couldn't help but jump in his heart, and took the lead in asking: "Endo-kun, what happened?" ”
Saburo Endo glanced at Hideki Tojo and Hyotaro Kimura in mourning, and raised the telegram in his hand: "Two commanders, the big thing is not good, the 12th Division sent an urgent telegram from Jinzhou, and as soon as the Imperial Air Force stationed in Jinzhou left, the fighter group of the Chinese Army arrived as scheduled and launched a fierce air attack on the airport.
The air defense forces did not have time to make any preparations, and they were completely annihilated by the enemy's air raids, and the entire airfield was completely destroyed under the enemy's bombing and strafing fire.
The imperial fighters that took off from Jinzhou Airport have no way to retreat, and now if they are ordered to stop flying to the Xingxian front line in time, it is still too late to turn around and return to Dalian Airport, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Hyotaro Kimura didn't show too much surprise, but had a feeling of sitting and speculating in his heart, he quietly looked at Hideki Tojo with a sideways face, only to see Hideki Tojo standing on the spot as if petrified.
His face was pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched, so you can imagine how angry he was at the moment.
"Your Excellency Commander, what Endo-kun said is right, let's order the imperial fighters that took off from Jinzhou to return as soon as possible, otherwise when they participate in the battle in Wanxing County, the fuel may not be enough to support the return to Dalian Airport, and the aviation troops from Dalian Airport should also return immediately, and I suspect that the Chinese Army may even go to attack Dalian Airport." Hyotaro Kimura was a little anxious, so he spoke in a heavier tone.
This made Hideki Tojo, who was already very angry, very dissatisfied, and he glared at Kimura Hyotaro and said, "Kimura-kun, don't you think you just said something funny?" ”
Kimura Hyotaro felt that Tojo Hideki was smiling a little contemptuous, and said with a solemn face: "I don't know what I said wrong, please make it clear to the general." ”
"You just said that the fighters of the China Army might even go to the air raid on Dalian Airport, but you don't know that the fighters of the China Army all took off from the Guannai? How could they arrive at the Dalian airport to carry out an air raid and then calmly return, could it be that the enemy's fighters had a higher combat radius than the imperial fighters? Hideki Tojo said angrily.
"Your Excellency, you must explain one thing, because this is very important, we cannot judge the combat radius of the enemy's fighters by the range of the Imperial fighters, you must know that they are not equipped with the same fighters as us.
As far as I know, the fighters of the Dragon's Tooth Column were all imported from Germany, so it cannot be ruled out at all that the enemy's fighters had a longer range than the Imperial fighters, so we must also be prepared for possible enemy air attacks.
In the event of another air attack on the Dalian airport, the air supremacy of the entire South Manchurian region will fall into the hands of the Chinese army, and how should we deal with the enemy's ground-air joint attack at that time? ”
"You're still too alarmist." Hideki Tojo snorted coldly and said: "Since the fighters took off from Dalian and can participate in the battle of Xingxian, then the batch of fighters that took off from Jinzhou will naturally be able to return to Dalian Airport, so they can continue to rush to Xingxian and participate in the battle to support Xingxian." ”
Kimura Hyotaro said: "I'm just worried that the aviation forces in Dalian Airport alone will not be enough to defeat the incoming China aircraft group, after all, their fighter performance is much more advanced than ours. ”
"Enough, these are all your speculations, if the fighters of the Zhina Army don't come to attack Dalian, then won't we want to kill the imperial warriors of the 7th Division?" Hideki Tojo said in a cold voice: "Order the imperial fighters that took off from Jinzhou Airport to carry out the orders of the headquarters according to the original plan and quickly rush to the aid of the Xingxian battlefield. The Imperial Air Forces stationed at Dalian Airport are on standby, and once they discover the appearance of the Chinese fighters, they will immediately take to the air to intercept them, unite with ground air defense forces, and destroy them all!
Then order the 12th and 11th Divisions and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th independent mixed brigades to speed up the assembly and mobilization, and rush to Liaoxi to participate in the battle! ”…… 0
