Chapter 722 "Mad Dog" Nishimura Uemon

The air defense battle of Nanjing, which lasted five days and five nights, came to an end, and the air forces of the Japanese Navy's First and Third Fleets were almost completely annihilated, although the city of Nanjing was almost in ruins, and the price of more than 10,000 casualties was paid.

Tang Qiuli, who had walked out of the underground headquarters of the Nanjing Air Defense General Headquarters, which had not left for five days and five nights, had just thought about the telegram sent by Chairman Chiang from Wuhan when he was hurriedly called back by the communications staff officer, and the radar found that a large number of Japanese planes were rushing in the direction of Nanjing.

Tang Qiuli rushed back to the command headquarters and ordered: "Immediately sound the air defense alarm, and all the troops immediately enter the battle position," Strange, the air force of the Japanese Navy has been disabled in the sky over Nanjing, where did the large Japanese aircraft group come from? In the headquarters, there was a busy and tense atmosphere, and all the radars launched an all-out search, and before he could sit down in his chair to "report the number, altitude, and course of the Japanese planes," he issued a series of orders.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the number of Japanese planes is about one hundred and forty, the altitude is seven thousand five, the course is due north, and the target is the direction of Nanjing," the radar operator immediately reported, "Is there any report from the Changxing Island radar station transferred by Commander Zhang Zhizhong?" Tang Qiuli then asked, "Report to the commander-in-chief, no," Tang Qiuli was stunned, no?

It's strange, where did this Japanese fleet come from? He looked at the track of the Japanese army group again, the location in Fuzhou, is a big turning point, from the southeast to due north, suddenly understood, it is the Japanese plane in Taiwan, a burst of excitement in his heart, **, the Japanese navy and army planes, have attracted to Nanjing, the more the better, here and the Japanese to fight consumption, to see if the Japanese have more planes, or my shells and bullets, the Japanese army planes, also left in the sky over Nanjing, for the future operations in the Jiangnan area, reduce the threat from the air.

"Order, all the anti-aircraft fire group, at any cost, to shoot down the Japanese plane, this is the last battle, just use the Japanese plane, the death salute blooming in the sky of Nanjing, to end the battle of Nanjing air defense, after the battle, the whole army rested for three days," the unique order, the pre-war mobilization and order, but also particularly inciting, and gave all the soldiers an expectation, after today's battle, you can take a holiday and rest, and worry that the soldiers do not work hard to fight this last battle?

The terrible siren sounded again in the sky over the city of Nanjing, which had just been quiet for a day, and all the soldiers immediately rushed to the battle position, and then, the order of Commander-in-Chief Tang was also conveyed to the various fire groups, and the soldiers were excited, Wang Genbao is now the commander of the air defense battalion directly under the headquarters of the 38th Division, and there are nearly two firepower groups under his command.

After Tang Qiuli gave the order, he grabbed the outside phone on the table and wanted to call Gao Zhihang's destroyer unit, "Gao Zhihang?" I'm Tang Qiuli, I order your unit to prepare for battle, about 140 Japanese planes, taking off from the Taiwan base, the target is Nanjing, waiting for my sortie order, be sure to leave all the Japanese planes in the sky over the mainland" On the other side of the phone, it was Gao Zhihang's voice that was so excited that it almost changed tone, "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, I will destroy the aircraft unit, and I will definitely turn the little devil's planes into air turkeys"

Tang Qiuli laughed, admired Gao Zhihang's mental state, and believed that he could knock down as many Japanese planes as possible, this is another typical air ambush war, Gao Zhihang and them, have tasted the sweetness, several sorties, at the cost of losing six fighters and thirteen wounded, a total of 14 Japanese bombers and battles were shot down, and the results of each fighter pilot broke through zero, Gao Zhihang personally, there are thirteen Japanese planes in the account, ranking among the top shooters of the Chinese Air Force, When has the Chinese Air Force ever fought such an enjoyable battle.

Nishimura Uemon led the aircraft group into the airspace of the mainland, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, it was a good weather for the operation, the aircraft group swept through the hills, lakes, and rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and the road was unimpeded, there was no plane of the Shina people to take off and intercept, and there was no smoke ball of anti-aircraft fire on the ground, this was simply the easiest bombing operation in the world, Nishimura looked back at the majestic and magnificent huge aircraft group, and could not help but feel proud of the strong force of the Great Japanese Empire, and at the same time, the heart of a bloodthirsty beast beat vigorously.

The Japanese plane group flew over Nanjing, and Nishimura looked down at the city of Nanjing, which was almost full of ruins under the wings, and could see the scars after being bombed by a large group of planes, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Nanjing, which had been almost destroyed, why couldn't those guys in the navy, with more than 400 planes, be victorious? In such a city that has been riddled with holes, how much resistance and determination can the defending soldiers of China have?

Doubts are doubts, Nishimura Uemon started but there is no ambiguity at all, he is going to give the soldiers in Nanjing a little taste, fighter planes hovering at high altitude to monitor, once the anti-aircraft fire point of the defenders of China is discovered, it will be immediately cleared, clearing the way for the bombers.

The bomber group took a dense formation and carpet bombed to completely wipe Nanjing off the map, and after giving the order, Nishimura Uemon shouted loudly: "Imperial air warriors, the opportunity to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor of Tianjin has arrived, let the inferior Shina people taste the taste of our bombs and attack all."

On the ground, the Chinese soldiers who were waiting for the battle, looking at the Japanese bombers flying overhead next to each other, wondered, it was also strange, how could the little devil's plane line up like this to be beaten, except for the first day, I have never encountered such a cheap thing, it must be a new little devil plane, I have never suffered a loss, so what else is there to say, beat him up a dog*.

Tang Qiuli, who was in the command headquarters below, was laughed angrily by the formation of Japanese bombers, but he also understood that the Japanese were such stinky virtues, and it seemed that this battle would not be able to take advantage of it, with the command of the command, all corners of Nanjing City suddenly erupted, and a burst of light blue smoke rose from the ground, and countless anti-aircraft shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets flew into the sky.

Wang Genbao's air defense battalion, because it was all heavy machine guns, specially prepared for the little devil fighters who entered Nanjing City at an ultra-low altitude, did not get a chance to shoot, which made Wang Genbao depressed for a while, and secretly scolded himself for miscalculation, the heavy machine guns did not fire, but the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were all over the city, but the dense formation of Japanese bombers suffered a big loss.

Anti-aircraft shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets were flying all over the sky, weaving a dense network of fire, and the Japanese bombers that had already entered the dive bombing channel had no chance to evade at all; except for the bombers that were full of smoke and fire and planted themselves on the ground, most of the Japanese bombers were hit into a volley and exploded, but in a few minutes, only 40 or so of the 90 Japanese bombers were left with bombs thrown away in a hurry and desperately scattered in all directions.

Where are the anti-aircraft artillery fire willing to let go of these slow, big-bellied and stupid Japanese bombers, and they are beaten up again, more than a dozen Japanese bombers, and they were hit by a volley explosion, and Nishimura Uemon, who was hovering at high altitude and commanding the fighters, was so surprised that he almost fainted, and couldn't help but scold those bastards of the naval air force, and the people of China had such a well-organized and effective, fierce anti-aircraft fire, why was it not mentioned in the war briefing.

He didn't want to think about it, how could he have wanted to ask, no revenge for losses, not the style of the air warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, Nishimura commanded the fighter group, swooped down from a high altitude, and wanted to eliminate the firepower of the defenders of China, Nishimura cunning commanded the fighter group, using the performance of the fighters, ultra-low altitude entry, in this way, just hit the heavy machine gun fire group that specializes in dealing with fighters, facing a string of flying Venus, and the Zero fighters exploded in the air one after another black flowers.

At this point in the battle, Tang Qiuli knew that there was no suspense, he ordered Gao Zhihang's destroyer unit to immediately rush to the airspace of Fuzhou, where to ambush the returning Japanese aircraft group, Nishimura Uemon relied on his superb operation skills, and finally escaped with his life, and on the left wing, a row of black holes were drilled out by heavy machine gun bullets, and even the wingtips were cut off, which affected the piloting performance of the aircraft.

Nishimura, who escaped from the fire net, saw that there were only more than 20 fighters that flew into the sky again, including the bombers that escaped by chance, there were no more than 60 planes left, and the Nishimura Air Force was finished, and in more than half an hour, it was disabled by the hateful Shina people, who originally thought that the Nishimura Air Force could complete the tasks that more than 400 planes of the Naval Air Force could not complete, and for this reason, they laughed at those people in the Navy, and now it seems that the clown on the stage is himself.

As if it was a nightmare, a tragic defeat, a huge humiliation, and an unacceptable reality, Nishimura Uemon almost went crazy, and he fought hard, and he pressed the fighter who was already difficult to control, ready to turn into a suicide bomb, and he had to make the despicable Shina soldier pay the price when he died, and his wingman knew as soon as he saw the movements of the long plane that His Excellency the commander, nicknamed "Mad Dog", was going crazy again.

It's not that there are many comrades-in-arms, this mad dog commander, short-tempered, usually gives his subordinates a lot of hardship, I wish he was called by Amaterasu to go quickly, but he can't be buried with him, and quickly reminded: "Your Excellency Commander, please consider your identity, the Imperial Army Air Force needs you, and the Nishimura Air Force needs you" Nishimura Uemon came to his senses, yes, if this is broken, there will be no chance to continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor

Nishimura Uemon gave the order to retreat, and the first one turned around and flew away, and behind him were more than 60 fighters and dejected pilots, who rushed to the scene and went back miserably, which can vividly illustrate his mood at this time, the feelings of all the pilots of the Nishimura Air Force, and the remnants of the Nishimura Air Force were defeated, and they returned to the Taiwan base along the route they came.
