Chapter 35: Sunset Project (2)
Without waiting for the outlying air defense positions to react, the fighters broke in at an extremely fast speed, and the air-to-ground rocket launchers mounted under the wings poured all 38 uncontrolled rockets they carried in one breath and roared away.
The 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army's Field Heavy Artillery, Brigade Commander Major General Eitaro Uchiyama, looked at the smoke of gunpowder on the forward artillery positions in the rear, and made a phone call directly to the artillery positions, "What's the matter!" Why did there be an explosion on the position! ”
"Report! We were attacked, yes, yes, understood! Hung up the phone, picked up another phone, and connected to the outlying defensive positions of the artillery, "Bastard! What are you eating? Fortify your defenses now! If there is a problem, you will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”
At this moment, the dense warplanes in the sky swooped down like black clouds.
Right in front of this young man's eyes, dense rockets smashed viciously into the position, like a short rain of fire, and the magnificence revealed a smell of death.
Shao Zuo waved his hand weakly to stop the soldiers who wanted to rush up to save people, and a large pile of ammunition boxes placed in the open air was detonated, and the huge explosion raised dust in the sky, leaving a huge "scar".
Just when this Shaozo knelt on the ground in despair and began to be loyal to the emperor.
At this time, on the relatively quiet Yangtze River, the 3rd Squadron of the 11th Fleet of the Japanese Navy was sailing upstream, and was about to reach the periphery of Nanjing.
Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro sat in the Yaeyama conning tower, raised his binoculars, looked at the Jiangyin fortress in the distance, and was about to give the order to attack, before the words could be spoken, a shadow flashed in the sky, and an aerial bomb drew a graceful arc and crashed through the deck of the Yaeyama.
There was a dead silence in the conning tower, and Mataro Tanimoto had an unbelievable expression on his face, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the violent explosion, he was thrown high and disappeared in the flames.
The Ataka, Toba, Seta, Katata, Hira, Hozu, Retsu, Futami, Kuri, Kun, and Lotus were a total of 11 warships, and they were named one by one.
The commander of the 3rd Fleet, who was far away in Shanghai, Kawatani Qing, put down the farewell telegram in his hand and suppressed the anger in his chest, "Check! Check it out now! ”
After the herald left, Kawatani Kiyoshi looked at Nagumo Tadaichi beside him, and finally couldn't help but roar angrily, "Shame on you!" Shame! Never since the inception of our Imperial Navy have there been such heavy losses! Tanimoto is a piece of waste! ”
A group of 6 fighters formed a formation at high altitude, and under the guidance of the drone, they went to the field airfield located in the rear of the Japanese army.
"Attention all aircraft, they are about to reach the sky above the target. Attention of all aircraft, they are about to reach the sky above the target. ”
The six fighters lowered their altitude at the same time, and swept over the airport at an ultra-low altitude, and the strong sonic boom caused the Japanese soldiers on the ground to have a brief tinnitus.
Six fighters used only 100 rockets to lick the entire airfield along the runway, and the fragile old propeller fighters were easily torn to pieces by large-caliber rockets.
Six warplanes circled back and forth over the airfield, emptied of all the ammunition, and then turned around contentedly and began to return home, leaving behind the field airfield that had been bombed into ruins.
A lucky Japanese soldier survived, and at this moment, he looked at the corpses all over the ground alone, shivering and hiding in the ruins and crying quietly.
The Japanese siege position, the main position of the 6th Division.
The division commander Gu Shoufu walked into the command room a little anxiously, frowned and asked, "Is it time to attack?" ”
Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuho glanced at the time, "It's been five minutes." ”
"Then why haven't the artillery bastards started shelling yet!" Gu Shoufu slapped heavily on the map, his face full of impatience.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an exclamation, "What's that!" ”
Then he heard a roar, and Gu Shoufu strode out of the bunker, and saw that the sky was full of fire spots, and then his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.
After the explosion stopped, a drone flew quietly over and found Tani's charred body in the rubble.
After a while, the body of Kazuho Shimono was found again.
"The command of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army confirmed the destruction, the commander of the division, Toshio Tani, and the chief of staff, Kazuho Shimono, confirmed the death, repeated, the command of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army confirmed the destruction, and the commander of the division, Toshio Tani, and the chief of staff, Kazuho Shimono, confirmed the death." The drone pilot loudly reported the results of the investigation.
Soon after the news was summarized, Chen Changming received a report.
"Report to the Commander! For the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th, and 114th divisions of the Japanese army, a total of eight divisions, and the beheading mission of the two detachments of Shigeto and Kunisaki was completed, and all targets were confirmed dead. ”
"Three Japanese artillery positions were cleared."
"The Japanese field airfield was destroyed."
"The command system of the Japanese troops in the east, west, and center has been paralyzed, and they have basically lost their offensive capability."
"Good." Chen Changming grinned, showed a bloodthirsty smile, and picked up the intercom.
Chen Changming's voice sounded in the ears of all the pilots who participated in the battle, "This is the transfer station, I am Commander Chen Changming, the latest mission, to clear all the moving targets of the Japanese army on the spot!" ”
"01 received, 01 received, clear all Japanese moving targets on the spot, over." As soon as Lu Desheng pressed the joystick, the fighter plane set off a sonic boom at an ultra-low altitude, and began to look for the target close to the ground.
Suddenly, Lu Desheng's eyes lit up, and he was attracted by an officer standing on a high place in the distance and shouting.
At the push of a button, the cannon drew a line of fire and smashed the officer to pieces.
The position, which was originally quite orderly, instantly became a mess.
The two cannons roared and hit the ground, stirring up two dirt waterfalls, and the Japanese soldiers who were swept into the waterfalls turned into dotted colors, dyeing the originally earthy yellow waterfalls into bright and festive red.
The Japanese army's proud Type 97 tank, with its ridiculously weak armor, was defenseless in the face of 30 mm cannon fire, and was exploded one by one and turned into a torch.
The desperate Japanese soldiers set up their machine guns one after another and tried to resist, but they were swept by the machine guns and torn to pieces.
Under the strafing fire of the 30-mm large-caliber cannon, once hit, there is no possibility of survival, and even leaving a whole corpse is a luxury.
The positions of the entire Sixth Division were so vulnerable in the face of these horrific and highly effective weapons of killing.
This brutal method of death was obviously unacceptable to the Japanese soldiers who believed in Shinto religion and the emperor, and some of the soldiers covered their heads and wailed loudly, and the whole thing collapsed.
"This is not a war, this is a planned and premeditated massacre." A Japanese military reporter looked at the Shura Hell in front of him and muttered and pressed the shutter.
This scene appeared on every inch of the Japanese battlefield near Nanjing at the same time.
And until this time, Chen Changming looked at the time, and only three hours had passed since the start of the sunset plan, and the time was still very long.
