As soon as the Japanese fighters took off, the Eighth Theater Air Force Command Center knew about it, and after the radar troops reported the enemy situation to the command headquarters, Liu Nijia immediately ordered the fighters at Zhangjiakou Airport to take off and go to the Zhulu battlefield to intercept them.

This time, the Japanese air force dispatched a total of 38 fighters and 25 bombers in an attempt to destroy all the heavy weapons of the Chinese army on the front line in one fell swoop. The Eighth Theater placed an army aviation brigade on the Zhangjiakou front, and another fighter brigade was mobilized from the Northern Air Force to Zhangjiakou to assist the army aviation brigade in combat.

In order to completely wipe out this Japanese air force, Xue Chenghu, commander-in-chief of the air force on the Zhangjiakou front, dispatched 84 fighters to participate in the battle at once.

Although the Japanese defenders in the city only had an infantry brigade and a puppet infantry regiment, with the help of strong city fortifications, they could withstand the onslaught of the two infantry regiments of the 52nd Group Army.

After more than an hour of fighting, the two sides fought across the city wall for more than an hour, although the defenders suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the instructor, but the entire Zhulu City was still in the hands of the little devils, and there was a feeling of immobility.

Former enemy headquarters, Wang Jiming looked at the officers in front of him with a blue face.

"Rice buckets, all of them are rice buckets, a small county town of Zhulu has not been beaten down for an hour, how do you let Lao Tzu explain to the general seat!"

"Division, although the strength of the Japanese army is far less than that of our army, it occupies a favorable terrain, and the fortifications of Zhulu City are extremely complete and solid. The devil's will to fight is also extremely tenacious, and it is difficult to defeat it without using heavy artillery. Major General Zhou Yonghua, deputy division commander, said.

"These are not reasons, when the commander raised the army, there were no heavy artillery, not even a few small mountain guns, and it was not a little devil who fought with a lot of fart, our current weapons and equipment are far stronger than two years ago, but they were blocked by a small Zhulu City for a full hour and a half, and it is a shame to say it." Wang Jiming said loudly.

"Master, I think this group of little devils has received a death order, otherwise they won't be able to hold on until now!" Jia Jingzhong, the head of the first regiment, analyzed.

". They were given death orders. Didn't you receive a death order, you just saw the attack Lao Tzu just now, and fought bravely, so he didn't have a fucking brain. I didn't see the little devils put dozens of heavy machine guns on the head of the city. You're still a fucking company charge. So far, you've suffered the most casualties. Wang Jiming said angrily.

“”

"Hu Da Fat, have you figured out the situation of the Japanese army in Zhulu City?" Wang Jiming asked the director of the instructor's intelligence department.

"Master, I've figured it out. The garrison of Zhulu Castle was a part of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, about 1,200 people, and the commander was called Sasaki Tadaichi, with the rank of Shosa. In addition, there is an infantry regiment of the puppet army in the city, about 800 people, which belongs to the sixth infantry division of the puppet North China Public Security Army. So the defenders of the city should be around two thousand. ”

Wang Jiming said: "There should be more than two thousand people, if there are two thousand people, the little devil will not be able to last so long, and there should be hidden troops in the city." And there are quite a few of them. ”

After a while, Hu Dapang spoke again: "A telegram has just been sent from the inner line in the city, and there are indeed no other regular Japanese troops in the city, but there are thirty or forty companies and trading houses, and half an hour ago, the Japanese workers and men in the various trading houses were all gathered, and they were also shot, it should be these people who participated in the battle." ”

"Japanese expatriates? How many people? Wang Jiming said with a frown.

"More than 1,200 people, the vast majority of them are Japanese veterans, and some are Japanese ronin samurai."

"Hmph, I still want to wrestle with Lao Tzu with this little force. On the way, our division has already killed an infantry squadron of the little devils, and there are less than a thousand regular troops left of the devils in the city. Those puppet soldiers are not real soldiers, they will collapse at the first touch, ignore them, the rest are those veterans, the devils who have been beaten down in more than an hour have suffered at least one-third of the casualties, so there will not be too many devils in the city. Call the artillerymen and ask them to concentrate their firepower on the west gate, Jia Bald, take your regiment to hit the east gate, and if you can't beat it, don't come back. Wang Jiming said.

"Division, why did the artillery bombard the West Gate, but we want to attack the East Gate, why not the West Gate?" Jia Jingzhong hurriedly asked.

"You stupid, what will the artillery do when the little devil bombards Simon?"

"What can I do, of course it's a counterattack!" Jia Jingzhong said.

", I really don't know how you kid got into the position of colonel. Let me tell you, the little devil has limited troops now, so he can't defend on all sides at all, and he must be prioritized. If we shell the West Gate, this will be tantamount to giving the Japanese army a signal, and our main attack direction will be at the West Gate, then the little devils will transfer the most elite troops to the West Gate, and when the time comes, you will suddenly appear at the East Gate, and the attack will definitely be easier. Wang Jiming said.

"The master is wise!"

"Wise fart, it's still the same sentence just now, don't see Lao Tzu if you can't beat it!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Jia Jingzhong and the others came out, there was a sudden "Woo woo!" in the sky! Wang Jiming, who has rich combat experience, was taken aback for a moment, and shouted at the officers in the combat headquarters: "All lie down, it's an airplane!" ”

Sure enough, before Jia Jingzhong's voice fell, a violent explosion sounded outside.

"It's not good, it's heavy artillery! Hurry up and let the heavy artillery units hide, the planes of the little devils are coming at them! Wang Jiming said.

After speaking, Wang Jiming ignored the obstruction of Zhou Yonghua and others, grabbed the binoculars on the table and ran outside.

Seeing dozens of Japanese fighters rushing in the direction of the heavy artillery unit, Wang Jiming felt cold in his heart, because he was in too much hurry this time, he did not carry air defense troops at all, and the only dozen or so antiaircraft machine guns were still used as suppressive fire in the forward positions, and no air defense positions were built at all, and the heavy artillery troops were finished.

However, the Japanese bomber group only had time to drop bombs once before it was interrupted by the Chinese fighters that were diving in, only to see dozens of fighters with the wolf heads printed on the Saibei steppe suddenly emerge from the clouds, and pounced on the Japanese planes.

"Da Da Da!"

Machine guns are strafing, fighters are roaring! One hundred and fifty or sixty warplanes fought each other in the sky above the deer, and the scene was magnificent, and at some point the battle on the ground stopped, and the soldiers on both sides raised their heads to watch the competition in the air.

"Boom"

A Japanese Type 95 fighter was blown up in the air, and the burning fragments of the plane fell to the ground with a long tail.

"Whew"

An Iraq-15 fighter plane was damaged by a Japanese fighter, and the plane staggered into the distance, and just flew less than five kilometers before planting headlong into the enemy, and then the pilot parachuted in time, and a huge white lotus floated to the enemy-occupied area!

"Boom!" A bomber full of ammunition was destroyed, and the ammunition in the plane exploded, not only blowing up the bomber, but also the flying debris turned the surrounding area of several hundred meters into a zone of death, two Japanese bombers and two fighters of the Northern Air Force were affected, and were injured by those destructive fragments, and suddenly these fighters dragged the billowing smoke into the distance.

The Japanese commander in charge of the bombing mission was Yamashita Shosa, a very good Japanese pilot and one of the few officers in the Japanese Air Force who was not an academic.

Suddenly attacked, Yamashita Shaozo knew that this mission was a failure, and the air force of the Zhina people lost the lead as soon as they came, even if they shot down these Zhina fighters, the mission could not be completed, after all, the Zhina army below was not a fool, and the heavy artillery troops had already been transferred during this time.

In fact, what Yamashita Shaozo didn't know was that the performance of the Chinese army under Zhulu City at this time was not as good as a fool, they were the first time to see such a large-scale air battle, so both sides tacitly chose a temporary truce, and all eyes were focused on the sky, as for the safety of the transferred artillery troops, Wang Jiming and others had long been left behind.

However, it is a pity that this time the Chinese Air Force came prepared, not only did the number of fighters more than a dozen more than the Japanese army, but all of them were fighters, but the Japanese army had less than 40 fighters, and the gap was not ordinarily large.

Yamashita Shaosa, knowing that it is not the same thing for the road to go on like this, he hurriedly asked the ground air force command center for help, hoping that His Excellency Kinoshita Toshita could send reinforcements from the latest Zero team.

Major General Kinoshita knows the character of Yamashita Shaosa, and he will not ask the headquarters for help unless he has to, and now that he has spoken, it must be a time of great danger, and after asking General Binshan Yuan for instructions, Kinoshita Min immediately ordered a zero team hidden at Baoding Airport to take off immediately and rush to the battlefield of Zhulu.

After half an hour of fighting, the fighter group of the Army Aviation Brigade of the 52nd Group Army not only shot down 16 Japanese fighters but also shot down 18 bombers, and more than a dozen fighters were damaged, while only 6 fighters were shot down and 8 fighters were damaged.

Seeing that the remaining Japanese fighters had fled with their tails between their legs, Lieutenant Colonel Niu Yong, who was in charge of the interception operation, ordered the group to return immediately. In the past few days, the combat tasks of the army aviation brigade have been very heavy, and the fighters must always be in peak condition, and now the troops must return to the airfield to refuel and replenish ammunition, and the Japanese fighters may attack at any time, and if the fighters are not in perfect condition, it will be difficult to compete with the Japanese army in the air.

However, as soon as Niu Yong and the others turned around, they received an order from the former enemy headquarters, and 32 Japanese fighters were rushing towards the Zhulu battlefield in the direction of Baoding, and the headquarters ordered them to go immediately to intercept them. No one knows that the direction of Baoding is not the old Japanese army's 95 and 97 fighter groups, nor 96 fighters, but the newly produced Zero team! (To be continued......)
