Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese air force, which has always been the absolute dominant air supremacy, never dreamed that the Eighth Route would actually conceal such an astonishing anti-aircraft strike firepower on the north bank of the Jindi River.

Prior to this, the firepower of the Japanese aviation units was basically attracted by the firepower of the troops dominated by the Tang Keqin Group Army, which were blocking the Devil's Jihadist Army and armored troops on the south bank of the Jindi River.

Caught off guard under the cover of artillery fire.

The Japanese fighters, especially the bombers that were diving down at low altitudes, were simply unable to dodge.

Explosions visible to the naked eye connected in various parts of the fighter.

Today, after further development, the power of the anti-aircraft weapons in the hands of the elite of the Eighth Route Army is so amazing that it has long passed the embarrassment of being able to hold earthen guns and cannons and look at the roaring fighters of devils.

It's just this round of anti-aircraft firepower.

There were more than 20 Japanese fighters in the sky above the Jindi River, dragging the smoke hanging from the tail, and soon after the crumbling of the earth, they had an intimate kiss with the earth.

Some of the fighters completely lost control, and the planes plunged headlong into the rough waters of the Jindi River.

Soon, it sank to the bottom of the river and was gone.

"Quick, seize the opportunity to shoot this scene, this is the best material for us to beat the Japanese invaders!"

War correspondent Xiao Song also participated in this battle, and he hid inside the air defense fortifications with the shooting team, and when he saw this scene, he danced excitedly.

Such an explosive scene.

It is not only an excellent propaganda for the anti-Japanese resistance, but also a historical curtain that will never fade in the history of the development of the film and television industry of the Eighth Route Army!

In the Battle of Northern Henan, the Eighth Route Army used anti-aircraft firepower to hit the Japanese invaders, and shot down more than 20 Japanese fighters on the north bank of the Jindi River in one go.

It was a shocking situation.

The eyes of the little soldier carrying the camera widened, and even his hairs stood on end.

He is convinced that if the scene filmed today is thoroughly publicized, it will definitely cause a great shock in the world.

And just a few kilometers away, in the upper reaches of the Jindi River, relying on the hidden place of the mountains, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, who were still fishing, had already lost their fishing rods and were watching the battle from a distance with high-powered binoculars.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's hidden anti-aircraft firepower destroyed many Japanese fighters in the first round of raids, several old comrades-in-arms applauded.

"Haha, it's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable! This devil's fighter plane crashed nearly thirty percent in the blink of an eye, and the old devil of Hata Junroku is afraid that he will die of distress, and I want to say, this is the big scene that the battle should have! Kong Jie sighed.

Li Yunlong also shouted happily, but he felt a pity: "Damn, if our old Li is also on the north bank of the Jindi River at this time, we will have to set up an anti-aircraft gun and fight a few devil fighters to come down." ”

Ding Wei smiled on the side: "Lao Li, don't be a pity, when you get to Kanto, there are more such scenes, some planes let you take a hit, this time let's have a good time!" ”

"It's just that my heart is itching, and this taste is not good!" Li Yunlong said.

As time passed, under the intensive anti-aircraft fire, more Japanese fighters were constantly destroyed, and then completely fell.

At this time, the situation surrounding the Jindi River was reversed in an instant.

With the crash of dozens of fighter planes over the Jindi River, the morale of the Japanese army, which had been advancing rampantly, plummeted, and even the old devil Yamashita and Inoue, who were commanding in the rear, watched with amazement at the scene of the Imperial Army's aviation unit being severely damaged and deflated in the sky over the Jindi River.

Ding Wei, who was watching the battle, had sharp eyes, and then discovered a new trend: "Interesting, Tang Keqin's department, which was still cowering in the fortifications and passively defending, actually took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Haha, the little devil's flight unit has just been hit hard, and the ammunition carried by the plane is estimated to have been almost wasted on our air defense fortifications. ”

As the trio looked through the telescope:

A large number of planes came whizzing from farther away with the roar of the engines.

There are many Japanese-style fighters, as well as many clearly marked fighters produced by Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

The two sides were still separated by a distance, and the fighters who came over quickly opened up the strangulation formation and fired head-on at the devil's plane over the Jindi River.

It is clear that this is the arrival of the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army!

The south bank of the Jindi River.

Commander Tang, who led the troops all the way to the south bank fortifications, was still distressed.

The maneuvering elite of the devil behind him chased too quickly.

The Japanese aviation units came in large numbers to reinforce them.

According to the agreement reached between Commander Tang and the command of the Eighth Route Army on joint operations before the war.

Tang Keqin's group army was responsible for luring the pursuing Japanese mobile troops to the south bank of the Jindi River, and then only needed to use the fortifications on the south bank of the Jindi River to hold on to the danger and wait for the rear of the Eighth Route Army.

But what is the back hand of the eight roads?

Commander Tang didn't know anything about this, he originally thought that the growing aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army might also come over and fight the Japanese aviation unit.

Who would have thought that the Eighth Route would directly make the devil's aviation unit suffer such a big loss just by using the anti-aircraft firepower hidden on the north bank of the Jindi River.

All of a sudden, Commander Tang felt a little ashamed, to say that the troops of his national army also had a lot of anti-aircraft weapons in their hands.

But every time the devil's flying unit comes to bomb and sneak attack, these anti-aircraft weapons are simply decorations, as if they are shooting mosquitoes in mid-air!

In the same situation as in front of him, dozens of Japanese fighters were destroyed in the blink of an eye.

and then the Eighth Route Army Aviation Unit, which Commander Tang has always been thinking about, made his debut.

Under a clear division of labor, the fighters of the Eighth Route were quickly divided into two combat units.

The anti-aircraft unit composed of fighters was responsible for meeting the remaining fighters of the devils who had been badly damaged and had lost their strength over the Jindi River.

The ground and air fire reinforcements, composed of bombers, were escorted by fighters on both flanks to launch air strikes against the devil's jihadist army and mobile units.

At this moment, in the sky above the Jindi River, the strength displayed by the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army, whether it is the number of fighters or firepower, as well as the superb flying skills and air combat coordination of the pilots, are all amazing.

As Kong Jie said, starting from the May Day sweep fiasco of the devils and then to the many major counteroffensives of the Eighth Route Army, with the defeat and retreat of the Japanese army in North China, the base area of the Eighth Route Army has become more and more stable.

The development of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, especially the development of the military industry, ushered in a golden age of leaps and bounds.

From all kinds of infantry weapons, guns and ammunition, artillery cars, combat vehicles and tanks.

and then to all kinds of fighters belonging to the Air Force, carrying aviation machine guns, and all kinds of bombs with strike performance.

The growth of quantity and the improvement of quality can be said to be changing with each passing day.

A large number of military factories and explosives factories have sprung up one after another in the Eighth Route Army's solid anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas behind enemy lines.

Just because of the continuation of the war and the shortage of resources, the little devil had to fight the idea to the national army on the frontal battlefield, and one battle after another broke out, in order to feed the war with war.

The Eighth Route Army implemented the principle of making a lot of money in silence.

With the help of the resources quickly purchased from the national control area and even the enemy-occupied areas, as well as the large amount of technical and material assistance provided by the allied countries such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union in order to rely on the Eighth Route Army to contain the Japanese army, the opportunity was seized and the rapid development was seized.

Judging from the strength of the aviation forces shown only by the Eighth Route Army this time.

Although the Japanese gritted their teeth, considering that many battles on the frontal battlefield also required the assistance of air firepower, they tightened their belts and pulled out a large number of them from Central China, North China, and Northeast China, so that they could barely form 30 squadrons of fighters and 15 squadrons of bombers.

It seems that it can run rampant above northern Henan.

But in fact, after more than half a year of golden development, the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army has once again been greatly expanded.

The original six aviation bases have been increased to tenth.

After resting and replenishing, according to the preliminary calculation of Kong Jie, the head of the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army:

If we don't hide our strength, we can pull out all the aviation forces, including Commander Fu's team.

We can make up at least 50 fighter squadrons of various types.

Including squadrons of medium, light and heavy bombers, we can also make up at least 50 of them.

This is still a conservative calculation, if you count those old aircraft and those with poor combat performance, the old ones that have almost been eliminated.

Even I can't tell for a moment what a huge flying force we can build!

And this time in order to deal with the Japanese flying units at the Gimje River.

In addition to the anti-aircraft firepower group of the Eighth Route Army lurking on the north bank of the Jindi River.

And then there was the aviation unit that was dispatched.

This time, it is to fight the inferior with the fine, and to fight the weak with the strong.

Under the orders of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Command, 20 ace fighter squadrons were formed from three veteran aviation bases, plus 8 medium bomber squadrons and 3 heavy bomber squadrons.

Launch a counterattack against the Devil's flying unit.

The two sides clashed over the Jindi River, and the devil pilots experienced for the first time the shock from the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Prior to this, they carried out their air battle plan, which was basically to use aviation units against Chinese infantry with little counterattack ability.

Perhaps it is because it has been in this mode of operation for a long time, and it is unfamiliar with the air side of the operation.

When faced with the flexible and lightweight new fighters of the Eighth Route Army, the devils, who are only equipped with the army's flying units, and the backward fighters of all kinds are simply difficult to parry.

If all kinds of new fighters belonging to the Japanese Navy are transferred back from the Pacific Theater, they may be able to compete with these ace squadrons of the Eighth Route Army at present.

At this time.

The brilliant confrontation in the air even made the infantry on both sides of the ground battle stunned and focused their attention on mid-air.

For these infantry on the ground, the battle in the air is not only a wonderful show, but the final victory or defeat of the air forces of the two sides even determines the direction of the ground force operation.

Many soldiers even prayed in their hearts that everyone wanted to win their own fighters.

Until...... The Japanese flying units, which had already been tragically attacked by the anti-aircraft fire on the north bank of the Jindi River, were completely expelled by the aviation units of the Eighth Army in a state of confusion, and moved away from the airspace over the Jindi River and marched farther into the sky.

The camp of the Eighth Route Army cheered.

The soldiers of the National Army of Tang Keqin's group army burst into tears with excitement.

"Hit me, hit me hard!"

Looking at the defeated Japanese fighters, as well as the holy war army and armored troops of the devils who were destroyed and killed and suffered heavy losses under the bombing of the bomber units of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Commander Tang still hesitated.

With such a big stage and such a wonderful performance, can't the limelight be robbed by the Eighth Route Army, right?

"Give Lao Tzu to rush forward, launch a full-scale counterattack, pass on the order of my headquarters, and the whole army will kill a devil Lao Tzu will award twenty yuan of ocean, and kill a devil officer, and Lao Tzu will award fifty yuan of ocean!

There is no upper limit to the number.

Brethren, whether or not we can completely restore the reputation of our army depends on this battle! ”

In an instant, the Japanese troops on the opposite side, who were already languishing under the blow of the Eighth Route Army's aerial firepower, became like a gold nugget in the eyes of the poor jingling soldiers of the Nationalist Army with their eyes shining.

One by one, they immediately screamed and rushed forward.

Naturally, the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army, who fought in concert, naturally did not need to say much, and also launched a counteroffensive.

Until on the way, I heard that Commander Tang had given an order, as long as the devil was killed, there would be a big ocean.

When charging, some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army shouted at the soldiers of the National Army who were fighting side by side: "Brother, I heard that Commander Tang wants to give a reward, can we the devils killed by the Eighth Route Army also go to Commander Tang to receive the reward?" ”

The soldiers of the national army shook their heads: "Brother, I'm sorry, our commander said that only those of our group army count!" ”

The Eighth Route Warrior immediately squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother, you are confused!

How many devils can you kill alone?

Why don't you cooperate with us in the Eight Ways, the devils we killed can be counted as your heads, and you will receive the reward and share half of us, so that you can earn more, and we will also drink some soup, right? ”

As the old saying goes, it works up.

It is worthy of the team brought out by Commander Tang, which is not only a good hand in war, but also in business.

When the soldier heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately agreed.

It's a good deal!

The two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding, and after the news spread, the number of "comrades-in-arms" who reached this "cooperation" became more and more.

For a while, the little devils who were originally pressed by the black pressure felt that they were a little too little in the eyes of the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army and the Tang Keqin Group Army.

The charging troops on both sides soon mixed, as if they had started a chase race, and no one refused to show weakness, and the earth-gray Eighth Route Army uniforms and the yellow and green national army uniforms were completely mixed together.

The original 120,000 elites of the Tang Keqin Group, although they lost a lot in the previous battles, there were still more than 100,000 at this time.

The number of people on the side of the Eighth Route Army is smaller, but there is the convergence of the main forces of Jizhong, northern Henan, and western Luxi, which should not be underestimated.

The key is that the Eighth Route Army has a considerable number of mobile troops, and it takes the lead in launching an offensive using military combat vehicles of various modifications.

It was only after being bombed by the bomber units of the Eighth Route Army, and the Devil Holy War Army and the armored troops, which had not had time to gain a firm foothold, were forced to meet the enemy in a hurry......
