Chapter 293: Defeated Soldiers (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Boss, how many days do you think I can kill me just now?" On a B-24 heavy bomber, the bombardier asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"At least a hundred of them have to be blown up, right? It is not an exaggeration to say that 24 bombs of 500 pounds killed 100 days* himself. The captain thought for a moment, and then said very seriously.
"Captain, it's also possible that the bombing killed the Thais. The number of Thais below is much greater than that of the day himself. The co-pilot interjected.
"Grass! Damn, if all the people killed in the bombing were Thais, it would be a big loss. The captain said with some sadness.
Obviously, in the eyes of these bomber pilots, the life of the Japanese themselves is undoubtedly much more valuable than that of the Thais. They would rather drop a bomb themselves, killing the Japanese themselves than killing the Thais.
It's just that whether there are more Japanese* people killed in the bombing, or more Thai people, I am afraid it depends on God's arrangement.
After dropping the bombs, 24 B-25 medium bombers and 12 B-24 heavy bombers swaggered away. They were nothing more than bombers in the first wave of bombing. Later, more bombers will be involved in the attack. In this way, it can be ensured that in this battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can win this battle at the lowest cost.
The air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was bombed. However, the Japanese and the Thais on the ground are very unhappy. The bombers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army covered a section of the bombing line, and all of them were blown up. All the trenches were blown up, and the firing points and pillboxes were blown to smithereens. As for the casualties, they are even more devastating. The Japanese-Thai forces stationed in this section of the position were almost completely annihilated.
Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi, commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, and Lieutenant General Saburo Isata, commander of the 22nd Division, gathered together with ugly faces. The defensive line where their troops were stationed was now under indiscriminate bombardment by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The defensive positions that had been painstakingly built were being destroyed little by little. Casualties among the troops are also rising. It can be said that this has undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese troops. In particular, the 15th and 22nd Divisions of the Japanese Army, which originally belonged to the divisions that were rebuilt after being completely annihilated, were not only unfamiliar to officers and soldiers, but were still in the process of running-in. But after suffering such a heavy blow, it directly caused their morale to be devastated.
"Isata-kun, the current situation is very bad! The people of China are not going to attack at all, but they are going to crush us with powerful firepower! What are we going to do if this continues! Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi said with an ugly face.
"The people of China are so despicable, we should have thought that this was their usual tactic. Before, there were already so many armies, all of which were defeated by their tricks. Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda said.
"Shibata-kun, our artillerymen, are you still going to be silent?" Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda asked. Because the firepower that erupted from the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was too terrifying. So, in order to preserve strength, they did not order the artillery to launch a counterattack. Because, they knew that once their artillery launched a counterattack, it would be like a meat bun beating a dog, and it would soon be dealt with by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
The artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was far stronger than them. And on the head, there is also the cooperation of the fighters of the air force. If the more than 200 cannons of the Japanese-Thai alliance dare to participate in the battle, I am afraid that it will not be long before they are eliminated.
"Let the artillerymen remain silent. The firepower of the people of China was too strong, and there was absolutely no need to let the artillery lose in vain. Let's wait for the infantry of the Chinese to attack, and then the artillery will start shelling. In that case, it will be possible to inflict greater casualties on the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Shibata said.
Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda nodded, agreeing with Lieutenant General Shibata's point of view.
It's just that if their artillery doesn't fight back, then they can only watch their positions destroyed by the artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Look at their soldiers, who died in the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.
Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi, seeing Lieutenant General Isoda Saburo's concern, said, "Your Excellency the Commander has asked the 3rd Air Force to intervene. If our fighters were able to destroy the artillery of the Chinese people, the situation could be reversed. ”
However, can their fighter units really destroy the artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army? No matter how you look at it, this seems like a fantasy! Last time, the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army was defeated. Even now that it has regained its strength. But if you want to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, I'm afraid it's still a difficult thing!
"Let's hope Amaterasu can bless us!" Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi sighed.
At the same time, the Japanese 3rd Air Army, having received a request from the 18th Front, immediately launched an operation.
Although, they knew that the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was very powerful. But avoiding a fight is clearly not the style of these days* themselves. On the contrary, they thought that they were blessed by Amaterasu and would be able to defeat the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in battle. Of course, soon the cruel reality will clear their minds.
Lieutenant General Tian Debo, the new commander of the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army, ordered the dispatch of fighter planes to destroy the artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, look for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with the anti-Japanese salvation army air force to avenge the previous one-arrow revenge.
After receiving the order, the 64th and 81st Flying Squadrons of the Japanese Army went into action.
A full 36 Type 1 attack aircraft and 36 Type 99 light crit fighters, under the cover of 36 Type 1 fighters, flew to the front line. At the same time, there is a fleet of 72 Type 1 fighters that make a detour through northern Thailand and then fly south. Obviously, this is a trap dug by the Japanese himself. They wanted to wait for the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force to attack their bombers, and then give the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army a fatal blow.
It's just that the Japanese themselves didn't think at all that all their actions were within the radar monitoring range of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force.
The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force built a radar station in Mawlamyine. The detection range of a large anti-aircraft search radar is up to three hundred kilometers. As a result, Japanese planes flying from airfields in western or northern Thailand would be under the detection of air search radars.
When the radar crew discovered the situation of the Japanese aircraft group, they immediately reported it to the air force headquarters in Yangon. And the commander of the air force, Xu Huansheng, immediately reacted.
