Chapter 787: The Eagle Falcon Fights for Food
At the moment of seeing the camps, the oil drums in the helicopter fell unceremoniously, and the muzzles of the guns were sprayed with tongues of fire continuously, sweeping away the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who fled for their lives in the skyfire, so that the flames were filled with a thick smell of blood and the smell of burnt corpses.
Most of the materials scattered by the Japanese army were concentrated in a position close to the mountain col, where the Japanese army was preparing to concentrate on building a factory, and the flames fell, very concentrated, and in just a few minutes, this piece was covered by the skyrocketing fire. It is estimated that when the flames are extinguished, there will only be some scrap metal left here.
The helicopter circled above the sea of fire, and when it saw the vacant position of the flames, it threw two oil drums, so that there was no gap in the sea of fire, and the place was completely white.
Their mission was not to kill people, but to destroy the defensive positions that were being constructed, and the main target was the supplies, especially the equipment that the Japanese could restore to the military industry.
After turning into a sea of fire, the helicopters circled over Lhasa for a circle, did not bomb the houses below, and after making sure that no supplies had been missed, the fleet dispersed.
The Japanese troops hiding in the surrounding area were very strange, the enemy planes only bombed the barracks, and even the outer defensive positions only destroyed weapons and supplies, but did not carry out air strikes on Lhasa, as if they knew that most of them were not in the city.
Indeed, the Japanese army was not wrong in this point, and after the helicopters completed the bombing of the material assembly area, they only burned or fired at a few material storage points that could be seen, but did not move the civilian houses. Because, they know that there are not many Japanese troops in the city except Tibetans, and even the Potala Palace has no Japanese troops stationed in it.
After the group dispersed, it flew straight into the surrounding woods and ravines, and several planes were in a group. Air strikes were launched on scattered targets.
Seeing the enemy plane coming straight towards them, the Japanese army was terrified, this plane can actually see them hiding in the woods, isn't this to explain here?
But where can they hide? In the midst of the buzzing gunfire, the rain of bullets tore apart the branches of the trees and crushed the Japanese troops hiding in the forest. As the debris flew in the woods, the blood mist flew into the sky.
The fierce strafing fire then lifted the camouflage of those supplies, and at the moment when the oil drums fell, the Japanese troops there fled frantically in all directions.
It's not equipment, it's mostly guns and ammunition, and if they stay around, even if they don't get consumed by the flames, they will tear them to shreds.
They were right. But on the plateau, how can there be such a fast movement speed? Before they could run a thousand meters through the forest, the helicopter had already left the sea of fire, there was a loud bang, flames rose into the air, and a black and red mushroom cloud tumbled into the sky, and the violent shock wave swept out of all directions, trees along the way. Rocks, shattered. Rolling in the waves, rushing forward.
A visible wave was based at the center of the explosion, destroying everything within a kilometer of the surrounding area, swallowing up the Japanese troops who were running along the way, and even the Japanese troops in the distance. Even if it was not torn to pieces, the moment the shock wave approached the body, the body flew and spewed out the lobes of the lungs or internal organs.
Huge quantities of gunpowder and raw materials were piled up here, which were needed to make bullets and shells. The explosion was no worse than the explosives, or in other words, some of the high-explosive charges in it were originally intense, resulting in an unimaginable explosion this time.
The plane obviously did not expect such a great power, although the moment the oil barrel was dropped, it had been urgently lifted into the air and dodged into the distance, but there were still two planes at the moment of the arrival of the shock wave, the glass shattered, and the personnel inside spurted blood, and in the uncontrolled fall of the plane, there was no breath at all.
The remaining planes were also difficult to control, and in the turbulence, they swooped dangerously into the distant ravine, and narrowly escaped. But the glass is all cracked, even if it is short and not broken, it is almost the same.
The explosion here frightened the Japanese army, and at the moment when the mushroom cloud rose, even the high-ranking Japanese soldiers who were separated by a hill gathered away and watched, and ran wildly towards the shady slope behind them as if they were fleeing for their lives, no longer caring about panting, no longer caring about any blocking, and no longer caring about calmness. They all have a variety of ammunition nearby.
Air raids, here is the most successful, other positions in the case of the movement of the Japanese army, it is difficult to get close, you can't get the exact position, the helicopter can only search forward, stick to the treetops, look for those supplies, see the exposed Japanese army, come to a shuttle.
But although this violent explosion could not affect the Japanese troops in other places, they still understood the information of shaking and destructive power, so the mountains were full of running Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers, and no one dared to stay near those flame tubes.
Now, it was wrong, the panic of the Japanese army just saved their lives and saved those supplies. Although the helicopter has a wide field of vision, it is not yet possible to see the materials covered with snow or fallen leaves over the woods, and if the Japanese are still nearby, they will find traces of these materials during the shooting.
As a result, one plane after another chased the fleeing puppet army and the Japanese army, like a hawk falcon in the sky, from time to time a rain of bullets, strangling those who saw it, but it was getting farther and farther away from those materials, so that piles of shells, bullets, and weapons could be saved.
During the air raid, several hiding places were discovered, but the amount was obviously not as large as the materials in the ravine before, and in the sea of fire, there was only a violent explosion, destroying everything in the vicinity of three or five hundred meters, and making all the surrounding trees disappear, compared to the first explosion, the destructive power was much smaller.
As the Japanese army fled for their lives, the helicopters were led away from the hiding place of those supplies by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army, who were chasing and killing all over the mountain, never found a hiding place.
When all the Japanese high-ranking soldiers ran to the bottom of the ditch on the back slope of the mountain, they stretched out their tongues one by one and gasped wildly, just like the reaction of a hound after tracking its prey, and some of them even suffered from extreme hypoxia and fell to the ground the moment they stopped running. Unfortunately, there was no oxygen for them, and they didn't know that they needed oxygen here. What awaits these people is only death, and there is no way to live.
Even if they are lucky enough not to die, under the extremely poor medical conditions here, the water coming out of the brain and the lungs will make them almost the same as the dead, and they will live for ten and a half months more, just wasting food.
Hideki Tojo doesn't have any ambitions anymore. He couldn't figure it out, the previous Imperial planes tested the opportunity, and after crashing four of them, they couldn't overcome the high-altitude ice and abandoned the plan of transporting them by plane. In their opinion, they could not fly to Lhasa, and no one else could. Even the advance army is not good.
However, how did they fly in the air raid of hundreds of enemy planes? How did you fly here with such a weight?
Okamura Ninji was also puzzled, this was not something that Hideki Tojo couldn't figure out alone, but something that all the Japanese generals who could still think about it couldn't understand. At this point, they begin to wonder if the reason for the crash is accurate, that is, whether the reason for this is the no-fly zone is correct.
Those who say that the engine stalls because of icing, the wing freezes and the balance cannot be controlled, or it breaks directly in the bumpy air flow, is not the cause of the accident made up by the pilot himself.
It's a pity that they won't get an answer, and there is no place to buy regret medicine. It was precisely because they judged that the plane could not reach Lhasa, so they did not care much about piling up the supplies in the open.
When they were full of search for answers and regrets, the helicopter kept circling in the sky, pouring this bullet, so that the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who fled for their lives did not understand, where did these planes get so much ammunition?
The strangulation will not stop because there are trees to cover it, and those Japanese soldiers who can't run hide themselves in hidden places as much as possible in desperation. Unfortunately, although there is no indiscriminate felling here in Lhasa, the trees do not have the dense forests in the northeast because of the environment, so the so-called forests are only a few ancient trees, with many branches, which can cover a large area, and it is difficult to hide all the Japanese troops, resulting in almost no stop to strangle, and the dead bodies all over the mountains quickly release heat in the cold.
The whole air raid lasted for nearly half an hour, and the helicopters ran out, so they circled and assembled in the roar, formed an undisguised battle formation over Lhasa, and under the gaze of the Tibetans, they left Lhasa with a bang and returned to Yushu.
At this time, all the surviving Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers looked at the corpses around them in a daze, they didn't know what to do and what to take. The plane was gone, but their souls were gone.
The power of the air raid is too domineering and bloody, so that these guys who have seen blood can hardly bear it.
As the first person vomited, the sound of vomiting and crying all over the mountains became a loud one, and the Japanese army and the puppet army, whose information had collapsed, could no longer control it, wailed, and fell to the ground.
They want to get out of here, they know that if the enemy can come with an air attack, there will be a second time, this time they are alive, and what about the next time? What about the next time? They could come once a day, or in batches, so that they would not even have a chance to build a position when the enemy army arrived.
Hundreds of Japanese troops sat there and did not bother to care about the losses. They are thinking more about what to do, those who are already dead, but there is less consumption of supplies, but they are still alive, and they have to find a way to return to their homeland alive.
At this moment, some generals began to regret that there were transport planes in Shanxi to and from Shandong, and they had the opportunity to leave, instead of going to this place where birds don't and enduring the air raids that destroyed everything by the advance army.
But these are meaningless, and the first thing they have to consider is how to deal with the enemy's air raids, complete the defense line in the air raids, and hold the most difficult foothold. (To be continued......)
