Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ambush (Seeking Collection)

The aircraft used by the Japanese Army Air Force and the Japanese Naval Air Force are not universal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 To be precise, because of the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy, each of its various weapons has been developed separately.

In terms of fighter planes, the main fighters of the Japanese army air force are Type 1 fighters, while the navy's fighters are the famous Zero fighters.

In terms of bombers, the Japanese Navy has a series of bombers, such as the Type 97 Naval Attack Aircraft and the 99 Naval Bomber, while the Japanese Army has a series of bombers, such as the Type 1 Land Attack Aircraft, the Type 96 Land Attack Aircraft, the Type 99 Light Crit Aircraft, the Type 100 Heavy Attack Aircraft, and the Type 99 Attack Aircraft.

The air force under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Southern Army is mainly the 3rd Air Army. This time, it was the 64th Flying Regiment of the 5th Flying Division of the 4th Flying Division under the 3rd Air Force of the Japanese Army that went to Myitkyina to bomb the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Yesterday, after the attack of the Japanese 18th Division was blocked, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya requested support from the Japanese Army Air Force. It's just that the airfields of the Japanese Army Air Corps are all in Thailand. Coupled with the timing, the air raid was adjusted to the next morning.

After the Japanese commander's attack order was given, six Type 96 land attack planes and Type 99 light critter planes launched an attack.

After the bomb magazine was opened, bombs were dropped from the Type 96 land attack plane and fell to the ground. The Type 99 light crit aircraft chose to dive and drop bombs. It's just that, compared with the Stuka dive bomber of the Germans, who shocked Europe, the Japanese Army's Type 99 light crit fighter is much backward in performance and has a much smaller dive angle. If the dive angle is too large, it may cause their aircraft to disintegrate in the air.

But even so, in the face of the bombing of the Japanese Army Air Force, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had no other way than to bear it silently.

Fortunately, when the Japanese planes were discovered, the 2nd and 6th regiments on the ground were hidden. Of these, the 2nd Regiment was hidden in a fortified position, and the 6th Regiment was hidden in the dense forest.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ā€

One bomb after another exploded on the positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, rising columns of smoke and leaving craters on the ground.

A 50-kilogram bomb landed right in a trench. Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers inside were killed on the spot.

"Dog* day. Fire on Lao Tzu! Knock down these planes of the little devils to Lao Tzu! Yu Chengyin yelled.

"Knock knock! Da-da-da-da! ā€

The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which had been prepared for a long time, tore through the camouflage and began to fire at the Japanese aircraft in the sky.

The air defense units of the 2nd and 6th regiments of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army each had four Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, four 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, eight 20-mm anti-aircraft guns and 12 anti-aircraft machine guns. Such anti-aircraft firepower is not strong. However, the Japanese army air force was caught off guard and still paid a lot of losses.

When they saw a series of shells and bullets rising from the ground, the Japanese pilots were frightened.

"Damn, there's an ambush. Hurry up and pull it up! The commander of the Japanese army ordered.

However, by this time it was already too late.

Two Type 96 land attack planes were smashed into fireballs on the spot. A Type 99 light crit plane was also disintegrated in the air. Another Type 99 light critter failed to change its dive course in time in order to avoid shells, and fell directly to the ground.

"Yaga!" The loss of four aircraft at once drove the Japanese commander mad.

"A type of fighter to suppress the anti-aircraft fire, attack aircraft and critique aircraft of the Chinese people, destroy them!" The commander of the Japanese army ordered.

A fighter with a maximum speed of 492 km/h was armed with two 12.7 mm aviation machine guns. Such speed and firepower, if placed on the European battlefield, would have been abused to scum a long time ago. Even in the Pacific theater, it was difficult to confront the Americans. However, in the skies of Southeast Asia, they are able to claim dominance.

Six Japanese Type 1 fighters launched an attack, using aviation machine guns to strafe the anti-aircraft gun positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Dangdang!"

Dense bullets hit the anti-aircraft guns, splashing sparks one after another. At the same time, there were the screams of the air defense crews when they were shot.

Although, the air defense troops on the ground desperately fought back, the bullets and shells were often hit by the planes chasing the Japanese themselves, and it was difficult to hit.

On the one hand, it is true that the anti-aircraft weapons are too bad. On the other hand, it is also the lack of combat quality of these air defense troops. Otherwise, how could this be the case?

The fact that four Japanese planes were knocked out at once was completely because the Japanese themselves were defenseless, and they were successful.

"Boom!"

A bomb fell next to the 40-mm anti-aircraft gun of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and the anti-aircraft gun was directly blown into parts, and even the gunners were torn to pieces.

"Bastard!" Seeing this scene, Yu Chengyin and the others gritted their teeth, but there was no way.

Even though the Japanese planes attacked fiercely, the air defense soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were still stubbornly fighting back.

When the Japanese planes dropped all the bombs and had to turn back, they only had 11 left. In the battle just now, the Japanese lost one Type 1 fighter, four Type 96 land attack planes, and two Type 99 light critter planes.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army lost hundreds of people under the bombing and attacks of the Japanese army.

Such a battle loss ratio, whether it was the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army or the Japanese army, was very dissatisfied, thinking that they had suffered a loss. Especially the Japanese army, they have been rampaging in the skies of Southeast Asia for a long time, when have they suffered such a loss!

When the news reached the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Hideyo Obata, immediately ordered retaliation.

At the same time, Qin Shou, the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, also had a very ugly face.

"Dog*day, as soon as the little devil's army air force is dispatched, we will lose a lot of money! Someday, we'll have to build our own air force. Qin Shou made up his mind.

It's just that to build an air force, it is still very early. Even if it is possible to get planes from the Americans, pilots are a big problem.

"Commander, since the Japanese themselves have already dispatched planes, then Myitkyina will definitely become their target." Sun Changwu was a little worried.

Qin Shou nodded: "It's inevitable, who let us not have air supremacy." In the future, we can only count on the Americans to send planes to compete with the little devils for air supremacy, or to support us in building up an air force. But now, we've got to find a way to give the little devil a bit of a hard time. Let them know that we are not easy to deal with. ā€

Subsequently, Qin Shou ordered to deploy a large number of anti-aircraft weapons in Myitkyina, set up an ambush circle, and wait for the Japanese * himself to attack. Anyway, they all decided to give up Myitkyina, even if it was blown up, Qin Shou didn't feel distressed at all.
