Chapter 137: Counterattack (Ask for Collection)
Anti-aircraft guns of various calibers constantly moved their positions with the arrival of the Japanese aircraft group. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info90 mm anti-aircraft guns, 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, 20 mm anti-aircraft guns and 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, all aimed at the sky.
"Fire!"
As soon as the commander of the air defense corps gave the order, the anti-aircraft gun positions deployed around the airfield opened fire one after another.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "One anti-aircraft gun after another, raining shells into the sky. The shell exploded in the air, bursting into a cloud of black smoke and shrapnel in all directions.
"Da Da Da!" Anti-aircraft machine guns also began to rain bullets, tracer bullets flew in the air, forming an impermeable anti-aircraft fire network.
And it was at this time that the Japanese fleet launched an attack on the Morey airfield.
"Fighters, suppress the anti-aircraft fire of the China. Attack aircraft and crit fighters, destroy the runways and hangars of the China! Hideo Miyabe commanded. Because there are not many attack aircraft and critter left. Therefore, they can only pick up important targets and launch an attack.
If the runway of the airport can be blown up, then the planes of the anti-Japanese salvation army air force will not be able to land. When the time comes, I'm afraid these planes will all be lost. Inside the hangar, I don't know if there are still planes parked. If there is a plane parked in it, it will be destroyed at the same time.
Dozens of Type 1 fighters of the Japanese army began to rush towards those anti-aircraft gun positions, hoping to destroy the anti-aircraft fire on the ground and clear the way for the attack of the Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft and Type 99 light critique planes.
"Da Da Da!" Japanese fighters began to strafe, and bullets hit the anti-aircraft gun positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, causing many casualties among the air defense soldiers.
But in the same way, the Japanese fighters who participated in the attack were constantly hit by anti-aircraft fire.
"Boom!" A 90-mm anti-aircraft gun hit a Japanese Type 1 fighter. The fragile Type 1 fighter was blown to pieces on the spot. The pilot also died on the spot and did not survive.
"Da Da Da!" Two anti-aircraft machine guns, forming crossfire, chased a Japanese fighter plane.
A fighter tried to pass through the fire net, but still failed to succeed, and was hit by a bullet.
The pilot was killed on the spot, so much so that the plane lost control and fell into the open space outside the airport, exploding into a ball of fire.
"Die! Little devil! "An anti-aircraft machine gunner, roaring loudly, while constantly firing. 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, frantically fired. A Type 96 land attack plane, which was about to drop bombs, was hit squarely. The fuselage was riddled with bullet holes, and then disintegrated in the air.
The Japanese Army's Type 96 land attack aircraft, although it was a two-engine bomber, was not structurally strong. So much so that they can only bully the Chinese * army, which lacks air defense. Actually facing a strong opponent, they will lose a lot.
"Yaga!" Seeing this situation, Hideo Miyabe couldn't help but scold.
"You cowards, attack me at once." Hideo Miyabe couldn't help but shout angrily at the pilots of the Type 96 land attack aircraft and the Type 99 light crit planes that were lingering.
There was no way, these pilots had to brave the powerful anti-aircraft fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to launch an attack.
"Spare the fighters of the Japanese * themselves and focus on attacking their bombers. Their fighters, naturally, have our fighters to deal with! ”
Those fighters of the Japanese army could hardly cause any damage to the airfield. It is only the bombs carried by those attack planes and critique planes that can inflict heavy damage on airfields.
"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, all anti-aircraft gun positions made corresponding adjustments.
This made it more difficult for the Japanese attack planes and critter planes to attack.
"Yaga, I was hit!" As soon as a Type 96 land attack plane entered the airfield and was about to drop bombs, it was hit by a dense barrage of anti-aircraft shells. After being hit hard, he fell to the ground.
"Boom!" A Type 99 light crit broke through the interception of the anti-aircraft fire network and dropped the bomb on the airfield. It's a pity that the shell was not hit, and in the grass next to the shell, a large crater was blown up.
"Yaga!" The pilot couldn't help but curse when he was about to pull up the fighter plane and withdraw from the battle. Several 20-mm anti-aircraft artillery shells, which hit the hapless plane, destroyed it in one fell swoop.
The bombing of the Japanese army did not go well. In their attacks, the losses were very large. Moreover, their attack aircraft and crit fighters, the probability of successfully hitting the airfield, is very low.
The only remaining six Type 96 land attack planes and eight Type 99 light critique planes were shot down. But their only success was the blowing up of two runways. On both runways, several large pits were left. Until the pit is filled, it is obviously unusable.
However, this is not a major damage to the airport. As long as the pit is filled in and compacted, it can be used continuously. Besides, Morey's airport has a total of four runways. Two runways are temporarily unusable, and two more runways can be used, which does not affect the take-off and landing of aircraft. It's just that the efficiency of the dispatch has been affected to a certain extent.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Seeing this scene, Hideo Miyabe was furious.
But even then, he had no other way. Their attack aircraft and critter aircraft have all been lost. There are not many fighters left. It is impossible to destroy this airport again.
"All fighters, retreat immediately!" Hideo Miyabe commanded.
However, it was not so easy for them to retreat safely. Those P-51B fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have been hovering near the airfield. As soon as the Japanese fighters retreated, they followed. It may be very difficult for these Japanese fighters to escape.
"Commander, we have resisted the attack of the Japanese himself. The airfield was not damaged too much. Xu Huansheng looked happy.
"Well, it seems that even if the day himself launches a fierce attack, he can't help us." Qin Shou had a smile on his face.
"Yes, Commander. This time, the Japanese 5th Flying Division may be completely lost. Next, if we can launch a counterattack in one fell swoop, blow up their airfield as well. For a long time, their planes will not appear in the skies of Myanmar. Xu Huansheng proposed.
"Well, then prepare to launch a counterattack. Is it to fight back now, or tomorrow? Qin Shou asked.
"Tomorrow. Now it's too late to fight back. Our pilots, most of whom were novices, had not been trained to land at night. Dispatch early tomorrow morning to destroy the Japanese airfield in one fell swoop and seize air supremacy! ”
