Chapter 288: A belated counterattack
"Damn it! The two 40-caliber anti-aircraft guns were also extinguished! ”
Yu Xiaoqing, who was full of anger, couldn't help but slam his fist on the trunk of the tree, and the miserable scene in the distance made him resentful.
"Have you contacted Hertling!?" Liao Mingyu put down the binoculars, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Report to the sir, the telegram has been sent, and Colonel Hertling has replied that two squadrons of fighters have been lifted into the air." The communications soldier immediately replied.
Hearing this, Liao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Hertling's flight squadron is in Baoshan, and if it takes off now, it will not take off in 10 minutes to reach the sky over Chanda.
The convoy was still two miles away from Chanda, and the soldiers had all taken refuge in the woods, and all the trucks had moved under the big trees on both sides of the road, which were covered with branches and banana leaves to prevent them from being discovered by enemy planes.
In the face of the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the little devils, their 300 or so people were completely helpless, and they could only watch the enemy's planes wreak havoc on their heads, and there was no other way but to call for aircraft support.
The only thing to be thankful for is that I didn't enter Zenda before the bombing started, otherwise I would have been in the middle of it.
The chief of staff of a division and the commander of a corps here, if anything goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow to the two troops.
"Aren't those upright Yankees flying into the sky all day long? As a result, so many Japanese fighters didn't find out, what the hell were they eating! ”
He Shuguang on the side was indignantly complaining about the bad words of the Americans, and was glared at by Yu Xiaoqing before he shut his mouth stupidly.
As a matter of fact, the Americans' reconnaissance planes patrol the sky almost every day, but they don't know why the Japanese didn't even give the slightest warning of such a big move.
"Most of them were found out by the little devils about their patrol time."
Liao Mingyu's eyes showed a cold light, staring at Chan Da who was filled with gunpowder smoke in the distance and said slowly. In addition to this, the confusion and malfeasance of these two Chinese armies are the biggest reasons.
The bombing operation of Little Japan was very successful, and several barracks around Zenda were plunged into a sea of fire, and countless people were killed and wounded.
The 8th and 6th armies suffered losses of varying degrees in their formation, and under the blows of the Japanese, they could hardly even make a normal counterattack.
In the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than a lack of air defense awareness and means. Many soldiers and officers did not think about how to fight back when they were attacked, but instead mixed in with the crowd and ran away.
Only a few people with backbone still gathered around the few remaining anti-aircraft guns, trying to put up a tough resistance.
……
"Don't grind and chirp there, move for Lao Tzu!"
Milong raised his pistol and yelled, and after killing the major officer, he urged the deserters to return to the anti-aircraft gun position.
Several deserters were frightened by the murderous dragon, and a company commander said that he would kill him, which was definitely not something that ordinary people dared to do, how could they dare to resist more.
In addition to the destroyed 40mm anti-aircraft gun, the other one is still standing intact in place, the dragon is angry in his heart, obviously there are anti-aircraft weapons, these deflated calves actually only want to escape, are they still worthy of being called soldiers?
"How are you going to play this cannon? Hurry up and move Lao Tzu! ”
The soldiers hurriedly started to operate, and at this time the enemy planes were still roaring in the sky, and there was not much resistance on the Chanda position.
The three Type 96 bombers had already dropped their aerial bombs and were preparing to return home under the protection of several Falcons, while the remaining fighters had no intention of leaving.
There weren't many anti-aircraft guns on the ground, but they also shot down 4 Japanese fighters, and although the little devils destroyed all of them, they didn't want to give up.
In the sky, the six Falcon turned their noses again and continued to dive and strafe at the crowd below, and the soldiers and civilians who had lost their ability to fight back were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Two Hayabusa skimmed the sky at low altitude, and the devil pilots were obsessed with the situation below, still looking for what other targets could be attacked below.
"Bump! Touch! Touch! Touching ......"
At this moment, a long series of shells suddenly came from behind him, and before he could react, the shrapnel that exploded hit the fuselage, and the plane instantly lost control and fell to the ground.
The wingman accompanying the fighter was startled, and the pilot immediately pulled up the control stick to dodge, but the shells fired from the same direction bit him deadly.
"Keep it up! Don't let him run! ”
Mi Long shouted loudly next to the anti-aircraft gun, and although he couldn't operate the gun, he also carried the ammunition box to help carry the shells.
Rumble!
The plane was unable to escape the shells, and one of the shots hit the wing directly, and the thin-skinned Hayabusa tumbled down like a large bird with folded wings.
"Haha, that's right!"
The dragon laughed happily and slapped a soldier on the back, causing the latter to stumble to the ground.
The skills of these air defense soldiers are really good, and they successfully killed the two birds as soon as they made a move.
It's just that they obviously have rich operating skills, but they don't have the will to fight, as long as the situation is not right, they immediately think of running away instead of finding a way to continue fighting.
However, at the moment, it can also play a role under the high pressure of the dragon, after all, there are no natural wasters in this world, only kings who do not work hard.
"Ammunition! Fast! ”
The Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun was fed by magazines, but only 20 rounds of ammunition at a time, and the air defense quickly ran out of ammunition under a fierce fire.
The soldiers began to press and turn in a hurry, and although they knocked out the two enemy planes, their positions were also exposed, and you could think with your toes that the other Japanese fighters would definitely fly towards this side in an instant!
At the same time, the remaining Hayabusa were just about to turn their noses and attack again, but suddenly there were several rapid whistling sounds from the direction above their heads.
Twelve U.S. P40 fighters finally arrived at the battlefield, and without saying a word, they immediately swooped down from a high altitude and fired wildly at these Japanese fighters.
Two Hayabusa planes were beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, and they exploded in the air with a piercing sound.
The Yankees followed closely behind and continued the pursuit, and they were determined to destroy this little Japan before they would give up.
They were scolded by the commander before they attacked, and they were already holding their stomachs angry, how could they let this group of little Japan leave safely at this moment.
The fierce battle in the sky continued, and the devastated Zenda was finally calmed down at this moment, but the town had lost its former prosperity.
The streets were in shambles, countless houses and buildings were blown up, several military camps around the town were also devastated, and even the Huitong Bridge, which had been repaired for a short time, was blown up.
