Chapter 645: Kill the Tail

Since the last time it suffered the loss of the large group of Japanese aircraft, the independent division air force has been in a state of instability, the most important manifestation is that everyone is eager to take revenge, to beat down the arrogance of the Japanese, several sorties in a row, did not take advantage, although no plane was shot down, but also did not hit the Japanese plane, let alone protect the transport supply line, and many planes were damaged, according to the pilots' intentions, simply fight.

and the little devil in the sky to do a hard job, fortunately Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang can still calm down, although the heart is angry, has not yet made an irrational decision, the battle is not smooth, the pilot is unstable, there is no good way to solve it, the division commander was on the way to Jinan, trapped by the Japanese army in the Taihang Mountains, lost contact, many things together, Le Yiqin has never been so cowardly.

He took measures to avoid the battle, and ordered the planes not to take to the air for a few days to fight, which was a last resort, and the battle loss rate of the planes in his hands was almost more than one-third.

Today, he was really depressed and panicked, with a wingman, he tried his luck to cruise to the Taihang Mountains, the ground can't help, and he can take care of it in the sky, just in time for Tang Qiuli to lead the troops to break through from Shuzhanggou, at a critical moment, it played a decisive role, thinking about today's battle, he was afraid in his heart, if he hadn't arrived in time, the division commander would have been surrounded by superior Japanese troops in the valley, what would the result be, who could have predicted?

If the division commander has an accident, he is the sinner of the independent division, Le Yiqin convened a meeting of all the pilots, but also wanted to discuss a feasible combat plan before the division commander arrived, and argued for a long time, but did not come up with an appropriate solution, after returning to the office, he and Liu Cuigang were staring at each other, at a loss.

Tang Qiuli in Linqi, but he was relaxed, the battle plan had been deployed, there was nothing to worry about, he was thinking about Mei Xue, this girl must be scared enough today, just outside the door, he heard Mei Xue's voice, "Sister, don't tell Sù Qiuli, he is busy directing the war now, I can't help, it's also a mess, just rest for a night"

"Silly girl, Qiu will leave for a while, can you still not see it?" This is Mei Ting's voice, Tang Qiuli was stunned, what's wrong with Mei Xue, is she injured or is there something else? Pushing the door in, Mei Xue was lying on the bed with a pale face, with a snow-white towel on her forehead, looking haggard and mentally exhausted.

Chu Chu's pitiful appearance, seeing that his heart was tight, he hurriedly went over to hold Mei Xue's hand, his palms were cold, and he touched his forehead, Mei Ting next to him told him that Mei Xue had a little fever a few days ago, and after breaking out of the palm ditch, his condition worsened again, but he just held on, afraid of distracting his mind, Tang Qiuli was shocked, he was still careless, why didn't he see it?

Hurriedly about to find a doctor, Mei Ting grabbed it, and said angrily: "Look at you, running over in such a panic, people still think something big has happened, I have already seen the doctor, I know that Master Tang's wife is sick, who dares to slack off, the military doctors of several troops have come over, there is no big problem, just a cold and fright, take some medicine, just rest for a few days, you are busy, I will take care of it here."

Mei Ting said a few words, Mei Xue's pale face flew a flush, her heart was sweet, she was cared for by the person she liked, what kind of warmth and happiness feeling, it was really moving, Tang Qiuli didn't have anything to do, just chatted with the sisters, it was all some anecdotes, he took out almost all the things in his stomach, all over the world, and his thoughts gradually expanded to the world he had experienced, and Mei Ting and Mei Xue's beautiful eyes were brilliant when he heard it.

This man who deals with blood and fire all day long, there is still such a side in his heart, Tang Qiuli is talking, while holding Mei Ting's little hand, Dongfang wants to know, the night has passed so unconsciously, the three of them are not tired, Mei Xue's spirit is obviously much better, or the footsteps of the mountain tiger outside the door, Tang Qiuli woke up from some kind of dream-like feeling.

This night, he seemed to forget where he was, and returned to the quiet tea house in his previous life in a trance, and a few childhood friends talked about the past and the present, the War of Resistance against Japan is the eternal theme between them, the world is unpredictable, he used to stand in the perspective of an outsider, but now, he is in it, and he is still an important person who can influence the situation.

I don't know if there is a flaw in the words, he apologized to the two sisters who were still immersed in historical time and space, and the deep future was addicted, got up and left, behind the back were two pairs of eyes that could not escape, indulged or intoxicated, this man's body, why is there always something that makes people give up?

At more than five o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army began to approach Linqi, a wing from the front, the other two wings outflanked left and right, it seems that the appetite is not small, want to eat this small army in one bite, don't you know, overnight, the prey has become a tiger full of sharp teeth, things are often like this, the role between the prey and the hunter can be changed in an instant, but who can grasp the initiative.

The Japanese army was also forced, after Okamura Ningji received their report, his intestines were so hung that he regretted it, and the only person who could mobilize the plane to protect him was the devil Tang Qiuli, who gave an order to this Japanese army, before Tang Qiuli did not join the main force of the independent division, bite it tightly, and be sure to annihilate it all, at any cost, the Linqi area in Henan is an excellent battlefield.

Solve this person, the war against China can be said to be more than half of the victory, these Japanese commanders did not think much about it, Tang Qiuli knew that thousands of pursuers were behind, and he didn't leave overnight, could he camp in Linqi? They were tired, thinking that Tang Qiuli's troops were also tired, but they just put a lot of monitoring posts, afraid that Tang Qiuli would escape with people overnight.

Stared all night, Lin Qi did not move at all, the three Japanese army wing captains were relieved, the devil Tang Qiuli was quite cooperative, knowing that the imperial army was not good at night fighting, as soon as the sky was bright, he commanded the troops to pounce, crashed into the encirclement, there were gunshots everywhere, Lin Qi's periphery was like a boiling pot, and after a fierce battle, the Japanese troops of the three wings, except for a small number of those who broke through and fled, most of them were annihilated.

Tang Qiuli didn't order to chase, he took this blow, and he didn't dare to come back, he was more satisfied with this battle, and when he left the Taihang Mountains, he also cut off one of Okamura Ningci's fingers, and carried a lot of captured equipment, all of which were left to Geng Zhijie's third brigade, the cheapest is still the troops of the Eighth Route Army, a company of soldiers, all Japanese-style equipment, ammunition can be taken, Xu is the Eighth Route Army is poor, the soldiers' bodies are full of ammunition, not enough to be stuffed, some soldiers, simply take off their shirts to load, Seeing Tang Qiuli's heart, he felt sour.

After sending away the company of the Eighth Route Army, they immediately rushed to Hebi, and after having a brief understanding of the situation in Henan with Yuan Jinghao, who was waiting in Hebi, they did not make any more stops, changed to the car that had been prepared for a long time, and marched eastward through Zhengzhou, and the speed immediately came up, hundreds of kilometers of road, and arrived at noon the next day.

As soon as he got out of the car and looked at these pilots, Tang Qiuli obviously felt an abnormal atmosphere, impatient, everyone's heart, there seemed to be a fire, he couldn't take a break, after lunch, immediately held a meeting of all pilots, for air combat, Tang Qiuli is a layman, but this does not prevent him from commanding air combat from another angle.

In the afternoon, Tang Qiuli spent all his time listening to the pilots' previous air battles and the tactics adopted by the Japanese planes, and the following points can be summed up: The main purpose of the Japanese planes was to block the supply line from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang, and the battlefield on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang, because the anti-aircraft fire of the Sulu Mobile Corps was extremely fierce, the Japanese planes could not take advantage, and they stopped their air raids on our positions.

Japanese planes mainly took off from Nanyuan Airport in Beiping, and there were about 150 planes of various types, of which about 100 were fighters, and the mode of combat was as follows: the fighters took off first, and the bombers took off afterwards.

After several encounters, we were all at a disadvantage, often one had to face four or five Japanese planes, and the Japanese bombers that were not hit became more and more rampant; not only were the entire supply lines cut off, but even Taiyuan was bombed several times; if it were not for the air defense fire around Jinan forming layers of fire nets, the Japanese planes would have blown up the Jinan airport into ruins long ago.

Just a few days after Tang Qiuli was besieged in the Taihang Mountains, a large group of Japanese planes attacked Jinan Airport and had a vicious battle with our ground air defense firepower, the Japanese dropped four fighters and five bombers were defeated and retreated, and they no longer dared to come to Jinan to look for trouble

The pilots were talking nonsense, Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "What, put a high hat on me as soon as you come?" When did you winged guys learn to pat on the back? Just a few words, which made the pilots laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, but Tang Qiuli also understood, the pilots felt that their planes were too few, and they couldn't use their strength, basically killing one plane was enough, and killing two planes would make money, and their lives were so safe that they didn't care about it.

Back in the rest room, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not there, he was lying quietly on the bed alone, his mind was still the situation when the afternoon meeting was held, these pilots were not afraid of death, but this was not what he needed, even if they were all spelled out, the Japanese planes would lose at most a little and a half, and their own family would be tossed away, and these pilots in front of him were the seeds of their future plans, dealing with not only the little devil in front of him, but also the behemoth in the north.

Air warfare and land warfare have their own ways of fighting, but as long as it is a war, there are similarities, and where is the common denominator? Tang Qiuli fell into thought.
