Ten minutes later, Yutai County was also subjected to devastating bombing, and the entire county was subjected to seedlings! Not only did Yutai County and Jinxiang County in the urban area not have much air defense force, but most of the houses and buildings in the city were brick and wood bungalows, and when the bombs fell, they were either razed to the ground or set on fire.

There was absolutely no resistance at all, and in just one or two hours, the base area that the third detachment had worked so hard to operate was destroyed by the war and turned into a hell on earth. However, the devil bombers in Zichuan County, Hengtai County, and Zichuan County, which were next to each other, did not go, and I don't know whether they ran out of ammunition or were afraid of the anti-aircraft artillery of the Shandong Group Army.

"Ahem, ahem! How so? "These brutes actually use brimstone bombs on a large scale!" "The little devil of the dog day must not die well!" "Eighteen generations of grass ancestors, these beasts!"

After the devil's plane left, Ma Yaonan, Yang Guofu and others came out of the underground air defense bunker one after another, but what caught their eyes was a raging ruin, not the beautiful and rich county town in their memory! Although they hid in time and all the people in the city were evacuated, the casualties were not large, but everyone's hearts became cold!

It took a full year or two to create a red pilot model with all the effort to create a red pilot model. Not only did it win the affirmation of the leaders of Yan'an, but it also established a very complete economic system, which could be used to continuously develop and expand the armed forces, but all the achievements were completely destroyed in just ten minutes. When I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, everyone's hearts were dripping blood, and they couldn't breathe in pain!

Ma Yaonan's forehead was bruised, and the knuckles of his five fingers were white, and he shook his head after a while: "Alas, everything is for nothing without air supremacy!" In the future, we must create a combat-effective air force and air defense force, otherwise we will never want to develop with peace of mind! Yang Guofu nodded and said, "Yes, there is still a big gap between us and the little devils!" There are some things that we really can't envy, we don't have enough air defense capabilities, there is no way to hold the results of construction at all, and no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain! ”

A sudden and crazy bombing wiped out all the results, and beat Ma Yaonan and Yang Guofu to a complete loss of temper at once. Chief of Staff Huo Shilian comforted loudly: "It's okay, isn't all this expected by us, if the devil can bomb us, we can rebuild!" The worst outcome is that we will fight guerrilla warfare again, and as long as we have firm faith and faith, there will be no difficulties that can frighten us! ”

"The chief of staff is right, we would have started from scratch, at the beginning it was only a dozen guns, a hundred and ten people, and now it has also developed into a revolutionary team of nearly 10,000 people? It's a big deal! Ma Yaonan retracted his thoughts, and then ordered: "Immediately organize troops to fight fires and try to recover losses, let's just start with the little devil!" ”

"Yes!" "Gather your troops now!" "Quick, organize the troops to fetch water and extinguish the fire!"

Although there are a large number of underground bunkers and warehouses in the city, there are still many material warehouses in the city, plus military barracks and dormitories, etc., so it is still necessary to save the stop.

With Ma Yaonan's order, thousands of officers and soldiers of the third detachment moved quickly. "What? The little devil dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb Yutai County and Jinxiang County? Two county towns were almost destroyed by the war? Hehe, these dogs are really going to pick soft persimmons and pinch them. ”

The news soon reached Jiang Qiang, Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows, and his good mood was ruined in an instant, although the devil has not officially started a war against himself, but this is still a slap in the face. Seeing Jiang Qiang's anger, Wang Qiang whispered: "Boss, I think this is a devil deliberately provoking us, wanting our air force to take the initiative to attack, and then set up an ambush circle to wait for work." ”

Chang Yuan nodded and said: "The little devils are really good at learning, what they are most afraid of now is our air force, I think before they get air supremacy, the little devils probably won't make much move!" In the same way, we are the same, our ground forces can crush the Japanese devils in the field capability, but we are afraid that the devil air force will carry out surprise bombing!

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the most important thing for us at this stage is to gain air supremacy and fight the little devil air force to the point that they dare not fight! "That's right! But we can't sit back and wait for the successful completion of the flying plan, the so-called come without being rude, the little devil dares to bomb our friendly army, then we must retaliate! ”

Jiang Qiang snorted coldly, then stood up, walked to the telephone and dialed Li Jinglin's phone and said: "Division Commander Li, I will give you a task now, immediately dispatch all bombers to carry out saturation bombing of the devil garrisons and defensive fortresses in Linyi, Feixian, Xuzhou and other places, use more sulfur bombs and heavy aerial bombs, don't save me money, just bomb hard!" ”

Since the little devil can play long-distance and close attack, he can also do it, and his own bombs have long been piled up, so he is not afraid of playing consumption at all! An extremely excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task, and this time let the little devil also have a good taste of the fire bomb!" ”

"Hmmm! When carrying out bombing missions, you must take the broken line and do a good job of escorting, but don't steal chickens and rice! After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qiang turned his head to look at Chang Yuan and said: "Chief of General Staff, you immediately order to go down and let the several counties near Jinan Prefecture in Luzhong be sure to do a good job of air defense and evacuate the people as much as possible."

Little devils will not be like us, because they dare not bomb the city on a large scale for fear of accidentally injuring the people! "Okay!" Chang Yuan nodded, in fact, these two tasks have been emphasized and implemented. The counties and cities bordering the Japanese-occupied areas not only had strong air defense forces, but also built enough anti-aircraft bunkers to minimize the permanent population of the cities in the event of a wartime situation.

"Haha, there is no limit to the number of bombs, and I can finally bomb it happily today!" "Brothers, hurry up and take to the air and fight for two more rounds!" "Master, you can't go, let's sit at home and command!" "Get out of the way, I don't practice for three days, I finally have such an opportunity, I have to follow what I say today!"

After receiving the order, Li Jingli immediately ordered all the bombers to take off, and sent another flying regiment to escort the troops. Although a group of staff and subordinates tried their best to dissuade them, Li Jingli was so determined that he did not listen to persuasion at all, and sat on Air Force One without saying a word.

Half an hour later, a huge group of planes flew over the Devil's Mountain Fortress in Linyi County, and without saying a word, they threw bombs frantically. Thousands of heavy aerial bombs and sulfur bombs fell from the sky like a torrential rain with a fierce roar and an endless breath of death.

"Yaga! It's not good, the Huaxia bombers are coming, hide quickly! "Eight grid tooth road! So many planes? "It's over, it's dead, it's dead!" The Japanese devils used a large number of bombers and used sulfur bombs on a large scale, and in a short period of time, Yutai County and Jinxiang County were razed to the ground.

This move not only destroyed the base area operated by the third anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment, but also made Jiang Qiang feel a lot of pressure. Although air supremacy and air defense have been attached great importance from the very beginning, if the devils carry out bombing at any cost, their own defense area will certainly suffer extremely serious losses. In particular, in key departments such as military camps, power plants, oil refineries, military factories, and material warehouses, once the devil air force is ruthless, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, Jiang Qiang decided to preemptively carry out large-scale retaliatory bombing of several devil fortresses and army assembly areas around the defense area.

After Li Jingli received the order, he chose the Chashan Fortress and the Wohu Mountain Fortress on the outskirts of Linyi County for the first bombing today. In order to prevent the Shandong Group Army from attacking Linyi County, a military stronghold, and then threatening Xuzhou to march into Nanjing, the Japanese devils can be said to have taken great pains. In Linyi County and Linyi County alone, two independent mixed brigades were stationed, and four fortresses were built at great expense, as well as countless fortifications such as pillboxes, tunnels, trenches, barbed wire, and mine arrays.

Due to terrain constraints, ground mechanized units such as tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, etc., are difficult to deploy, and even the Tiger Army, which is armed to the teeth, will have to pay an extremely heavy price if they want to capture these well-built mountain fortresses. At the same time, in order to avoid changing the historical course of the Japanese devils' southward attack, Jiang Qiang has always maintained the obscene development policy of accumulating grain and slowing down the king.

But now, when it's time to strike, nearly 60 bombers poured out, and hundreds of tons of explosives poured down. In just over ten minutes, the Chashan Fortress carefully built by the devils was blown to the ground, the huge stones rolled down and the debris flew horizontally, and a large number of fortifications were blown into ruins.

The brimstone bomb landed on a blazing fire, choking the poisonous smoke everywhere, and in a short time the entire mountain was turned into a sea of smoke billowing out of flames. At this time, Jiang Qiang didn't care about nature and environmental protection, and just wanted to tell the Japanese devils with practical actions that if they dared to continue to bomb the city indiscriminately, then he would retaliate.

Violent explosions, raging fires, and pervasive sulfur smoke, although the Chashan Fortress was built extremely strong, with extremely complete air-raid shelters and tunnel bunkers, the casualties of the devils were still not small.

However, this was only the beginning, after the saturation bombing of the Chashan fortress at the fastest speed, the aircraft formation quickly returned to replenish ammunition and fuel. Half an hour later, the bombing formation of the Shandong Group Army appeared at the Crouching Tiger Mountain Fortress in the northwest corner of Linyi County.

Undoubtedly, it was another frenzied bombardment, with hundreds of tons of explosives pouring down all over the world, and in the midst of the shaking of the mountains, the entire mountain was blown beyond recognition, turning into a blazing mountain of flames. The surface of the Japanese fortress in Wohu Mountain was blown to pieces, most of the fortifications were destroyed, and even the main fort of the devils was blown out of countless craters, and the defense was seriously weakened.

It's just that with the experience of the Chashan Fortress, the little devils of the Crouching Tiger Mountain Fortress hid in the anti-artillery holes, tunnels and other bunkers in advance, and this bombing did not cause too many casualties. After throwing all the bombs, the bombing formation returned to the air base again to replenish ammunition and fuel, and then took off again to the Mengshan Fortress and the Jar Mountain Fortress in Tengxian County.

They came and went like this, and until before dark, the bomber formations of the Huaxia Tiger Army carried out a total of four large-scale bombings, and the surface fortifications of the four mountain fortresses that the devils painstakingly built were seriously destroyed.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, after the bombing operation was over, the scouts sent a congratulatory telegram in time: Because the devil's mountain fortress had built a large number of anti-artillery holes, tunnels, and cave warehouses, the Shandong Group Army was busy with saturation bombing all afternoon, and although it destroyed a large number of surface buildings, on the whole, the substantial damage caused to the devils was actually not high.

In terms of income alone, Jiang Qiang's deal was really a blood loss, not only spent a lot of fuel, but also threw out more than 500 tons of bombs, in fact, this is normal, bombing a strong fortress position is like setting off sky-high fireworks, shocking and beautiful on the surface, but the actual effect is very limited.

Even the incomparably powerful US imperialism bombed the Afghan Taliban more than 7,400 times in a year, but it did not create an effective deterrent to the Taliban and could not reverse the situation in Afghanistan at all. The war in Afghanistan has been waged by US imperialism for nearly 20 years and has spent trillions of dollars, but in the end, it still cannot achieve its strategic goals!

It's just that Jiang Qiang is so poor that he only has money left, not only does he have more than 200 million yuan in his bank account, but more than ten large warehouses are full of all kinds of military supplies, and the United States is making money every day, and Jiang is not afraid of consumption at all! Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Qiang turned his head to look at Li Jingli and said, "Good job this afternoon, continue to bomb tomorrow, first bombard the surrounding Devil Fortress positions for me, and then extend to the assembly area of the Devil's Thirteenth Army." ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Jingli hurriedly nodded in response, and then asked with a not very confident smile: "General seat, according to our reconnaissance plane's observation of the explosion site, it seems that the devils have been prepared for a long time, and the bombing effect is difficult to achieve the ideal state." The consumption of such a high-intensity bombing is too great, and we have dropped more than 500 tons of bombs this afternoon alone, is this too extravagant? ”

Jiang Qiang waved his hand and smiled: "I know in my heart, you just need to carry out the order!" You should be considered to be in actual combat drills, but the bombing is enough, and the surface fortifications are also built by the devils with hard work, and we have not worked in vain! Li Jingli smiled and said, "Hehe, that's good!" I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that I won't have the next meal after eating! "You don't have to worry about this!"

Jiang Qiang smiled and then asked, "Did you detect the devil's radar station in Penang today?" Li Jingli hurriedly replied: "We have found several suspicious targets, and we need further investigation and verification tomorrow." Jiang Qiang said: "It's best for you to do this with the Intelligence Department, you can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, you will screen and investigate on a large scale, and then the Intelligence Department will be responsible for the investigation and confirmation of the approach."

After confirmation, the devil radar station will be destroyed with the power of thunder! In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was at dawn, the Shandong Group Army sent a powerful bombing formation to bombard the defense lines of Tengxian, Yixian and other devil fortresses indiscriminately.

The surface fortifications that the devils had painstakingly built were devastated, and the mountains were blown into craters and turned into burning volcanoes.

Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Baoding Prefecture. "Yaga! The deception is too great, can we only be beaten passively like this? "Receiving the casualty report again, the commander of the 12th Army, Terauchi Shouichi, was so angry that hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the Shandong Group Army but it kept thundering and raining, except for a day of hard fighting with the Tuba Road, there was no formal war with the Shandong Group Army at all.

On the contrary, the Shandong defenders, who had been under tremendous pressure all along, had now become a punching bag, pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly, and after more than a day, the defensive fortress that had been built with great effort was blown to pieces. "Baga, this Jiang Qiang is really retribution! Please bear with us for the time being, we are now like playing a game of life and death, and if we are not careful, we can lose everything. ”

Okabe Naosaburo said: "Jiang Qiang is determined to bomb the fortress on a large scale, but according to such bombing intensity, they will only gain more than they lose, which is actually a good thing for the Japanese Empire!" I don't believe that their bombs will run out, and now that the sea route has been cut off by the Imperial Japanese Navy, if they continue to consume like this, their air force will not be able to support it for long! ”

Kobayashi Asaburo nodded and agreed: "What Okabe said is extremely true, Jiang Qiang does not dare to bomb the towns where the imperial army is stationed, and he will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the imperial army. Those mountain fortresses can't be attacked by aerial bombardment alone, so if he likes to bomb, let him bomb as much as he wants.

After a large amount of ammunition and aircraft fuel were consumed, the Imperial Japanese Army would not have to be afraid of the Huaxia bombers! "Nani?" Hearing that it made sense, Shouichi Terauchi felt that his head was a little insufficient, and asked in a daze, "Is this possible?" Jiang Qiang would be so stupid? ”

Naosaburo Okabe smiled proudly: "The so-called wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and people who are too smart are often very conceited, especially when he climbs to a certain height smoothly!" If the heat is not enough now, then we can add fuel to the fire and add a fire! Shouichi Terauchi turned his head to look at Naosaburo Okabe and asked, "What does Okabe-kun mean that we continue to bomb the two prefectures of Dohachiro?" ”

"No, these two county towns don't mean much to the Japanese Empire anymore, and bombing them is a pure waste of bombs and fuel! We can't be as stupid as Jiang Qiang! Okabe Naosaburo shook his head, then picked up a wooden stick and pointed at several county roads with blue flags on the sand table:

"Qidong County, Qingcheng County, and Putai County are across the river from the Imperial Yellow River defense line, and sooner or later they will all be the breakthrough points that must be captured. These counties are the closest to us, and I think it is completely possible to carry out saturation bombing now and deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Shandong Group Army. According to Jiang Qiang's character of retribution, he will definitely take more fierce retaliatory actions, but this is an extremely cautious opponent, and he will not take out the air force of the housekeeper to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army until he is absolutely sure. ”

"It makes a lot of sense, and we really have to respond adequately now!" After pondering for a moment, Tada Jun turned his head to look at Kinoshita Toshiru and said, "Kinoshita-kun, immediately mobilize the bombing formation to carry out large-scale bombardment of Qidong County, Qingcheng County and Potai County!"

The fighter group is ready for battle and ready to respond to all kinds of contingencies" "Hai! Kinoshita Min immediately ordered the leader to leave.

Then, Tada Jun said to Terauchi Shouichi and others: "The ground forces still have to continue to attack and exert pressure, please rest assured, the powerful air regiment of the Japanese Empire will escort the army!" Immediately implement the operational plan we formulated yesterday, and all units must not make mistakes! "Hello!" "The Great Japanese Empire will win!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" A group of old devils stood up solemnly, shouting in unison.

After receiving the combat order, a large number of bombers and escort fighters quickly took off and rushed straight to Qidong County, Qingcheng County, and Putai County. "The devil plane is here again!" "Woo~Woo~Woo~" "Little devil of dog day, come quickly, grandpa, I must beat a few to relieve my anger today!" "After receiving the early warning from the radar station, Qidong County, Qingcheng County, and Potai County sounded the air defense alarm one after another, and all air defense positions entered a combat state.

"Quick, the devil plane is coming, this time it's not a drill, everyone immediately enters the bomb shelter!" "Everyone, be fast!" While the rest of the soldiers and civilians went to the nearest air raid bunker as fast as they could, everything was in an orderly manner and there was no great panic.

Buzzing, more than ten minutes later, the devil bomber group came to the sky over Qidong County, and then these devil bombers began to throw bombs frantically. Tweeting, bombshells fell from the sky with sharp screams, tearing the nerves of the Chinese military and civilians, like groups of devils who kill people without blinking. "Attention, the height of the fleet is 4200 meters!" "All anti-aircraft guns are there, fire immediately!" "Grass his eighteenth generation ancestor! Dry! However, Qidong County is not Yutai County and Jinxiang County, the city not only has complete air-raid shelters, dungeons, but also a large number of extremely strong anti-aircraft turrets.

As soon as the devil group arrived, hundreds of twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns in dozens of reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, pillboxes, and turrets began to spew flames frantically. Bang bang bang, strings of shells shot up into the sky, turning into ballistics visible to the naked eye in the sky, intertwined into a network of death firepower. Although Shanghai has not yet studied the sale of proximity fuse shells, the power of the 88-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns currently sold by the Shanghai Navy Factory is absolutely just.

88 mm anti-aircraft gun, full gun length meters, 56 times caliber barrel, total combat weight of 4.9 tons, gun ejection speed of 820 m / s, maximum fire height of 8000 meters. In addition to these, there are three major advantages: a semi-automatic ammunition feeding device, the artillery crew can fire about 20 shells per minute at most, which is a high rate of fire.

Equipped with a center-pillar upper gun carriage and a cross-shaped lower gun mount, the elevation angle of fire can be up to 90 degrees from horizontal to upright, and it can also achieve 360-degree all-round firing from a horizontal position, and there is almost no dead angle for shooting. Equipped with grenades, armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and flares, it can easily destroy and destroy tanks and fortifications in addition to bombarding aircraft. Every second, hundreds of antiaircraft artillery shells flew up to an altitude of more than 4,000 meters and then exploded one after another, instantly shooting out countless fragments flying at high speed, turning a huge area of airspace into a forbidden place of death.
