Chapter 190: Aerial Mine Array

"Whew"

Six Japanese D1A/Type 94 dive bombers in the sky emitted a head-numbing engine sound.

At the beginning of the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese had little air superiority. At this time, the Chinese Air Force, which still had airplanes, taught the Japanese Air Force a harsh lesson.

However, with the loss of fighters and the fall of ground airfields, air superiority gradually fell into the hands of Japanese fighters.

Especially at this time, there was no radar, and because of poor communications, even if the ground troops were attacked by Japanese fighters, they could not send the news to the air force.

Therefore, in the face of Japanese fighters, in addition to stiffness, there can only be the following way.

In front of the pontoon bridge, there were canonical trench fortifications, as was the case with the Chinese army, and those trenches had little shelter. The swooping Japanese fighters could clearly see the hastily dug trenches.

It's just that the area is also the most densely populated with kites.

It was a large, triangular kite, and according to newspaper reports, it was supposed to be so big that it could almost take people to the sky.

But that's about it, just avoid the kites flying in the air after dropping the bombs, and watch out for the kite strings that are as sharp as a blade.

The Japanese dive bomber pilots were a little proud, and although the Chinese Air Force had a better record in the early days of the war, everyone knew that their fighters were made in all countries.

Drop one less and soon they should be out of use.

And the Great Japanese Empire, compared to backward China, was a new industrial country, dealing with such an agrarian country......

The earthy yellow battlefield was getting closer and closer, and it was almost possible to see the Chinese soldiers lying in wait in the middle of the battlefield, their rifles pointing at the pontoon bridge.

Why don't they hide from the bombing, are they......

The leading fighters suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, because in the loess trenches below, the soldiers lying in the trenches did not dodge the bombs that were falling.

In fact, those positions were real, but when the enemy infantry was not seen, there was no one there at all.

Second, the trenches that were camouflaged with branches and camouflage nets were the main trenches of the main garrison, a few dozen meters behind the trench line.

If needed, it won't take long for you to have enough troops in the trenches in a few minutes.

As for why the Japanese fighters did not attack, mortars and tanks behind the wicker baskets. Because from the sky, there were no chariots or mortars at all, except for a few piles of stones.

Even if you get under those "big rocks", you will find that there are nothing more than armored vehicles, and there is no shadow of a tank.

And what about the four tanks.

Of course, they are well hidden and do not give the aircraft a chance to strike.

As the first fighter dropped the bombs on board, a loud explosion rang out from the trench line ahead.

"Don't drop bombs, it's a fake position, and the position is full of dummies......"

Despite the hoarse roar of the leading fighters, the D1A/94 dive bomber following him had already dropped bombs.

"Yaga ......"

With his hands pulling on the joysticks as hard as he could, he had to get his planes out of the way of the kites and get back to the safety of the blue sky as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the leader of the team pulled up the fighter plane in time, and when he looked out from the cabin, he could see that his height was much higher than the height of those kites:

It's best to avoid those nasty kite strings.

However, at this time, there was a sound of "Peng Peng", as if a cannon was fired.

So far, the Japanese Navy has not figured out why the fighters lost on the roof of the Sihang warehouse. They knew it had something to do with kites, and all they might have thought of was that the kite string might cut through the canvas skin of the wings.

Whether there will be other problems, no one really knows, because this is going to be the thing that the pilot has to deal with.

The gasoline cannons sprayed the steel helmet mine to a height of two hundred meters, and then the steel helmet mine sprayed a large number of metal fragments towards the climbing fighter.

Unfortunately, the pilot of the first D1A/Type 94 dive bomber was so experienced that he had changed course during the climb.

This is the main means for dive bomber pilots to evade artillery fire on the ground or on battleships.

Unfortunately, the wingman behind him didn't have a good chance, and a steel helmet mine exploded not far behind its butt. Almost instantly, a large number of metal fragments were like sharp blades, directly cutting one wing like a striped cloth shirt.

The fighter plane, which had lost its steady, spun and fell into nowhere.

Compared to the second fighter, the four fighters that dived down from behind were even more unlucky.

They obeyed their commander's orders and did not drop bombs, and the heavy fuselage slowed down the reaction of their fighters. As they struggled to climb with the joystick, the rather large kite appeared in their field of vision.

Pendulum rod, rudder ...... Of those kites fluttering in the morning breeze, flying sideways is the safest means.

As long as he doesn't get caught up in those kite strings, then he can return to heaven......

"Boom ......"

Just when he felt that the fighter planes could avoid those kite lines, and there was almost no danger, those kites that had been floating well suddenly exploded.

One by one, they exploded to pieces, and shards of metal flew back and forth around the plane.

The four D1A/94 dive bombers behind were tossed in the "waves" formed by these ubiquitous pieces of metal.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and when the pilot on the leading fighter plane looked down, he was surprised to find that the four fighters following him were dragging black smoke down.

The most infuriating thing is that at this time there is another kite flying in the ground, which makes him cry out in anger,

"I hate, I hate kites, I hate Morrowind, I hate people who use kites as mines."

His hand was hammered on his lap again and again, and then he calmed down a little, and began to report the situation on the battlefield to the mothership,

"I am a pilot of the first team, and we encountered an aerial minefield laid by the Chinese army using kites. It is best to deal with them by taking advantage of the windless time, and at the same time try to carry out a single dive attack, and never dive to a low altitude to drop bombs, you will never say goodbye......"

Angry at the casualties of his teammates, the pilot of the D1A/Type 94 dive bomber began to dive with his own fighter.

The machine guns began to strafe, and the bomblets hanging from the wings were dropped......

Just as he dived again, more than a dozen groups of people appeared on the originally empty position of the loess facing the sky. Then, one after another, the screaming monkeys with white tail flames rushed towards the sky.

If only that's it, but behind the loess trench, suddenly rifles and light guns shot into the sky together.

In the face of the rain of bullets, the pilot, whose heart was like stone, was unmoved.

At this moment, I occasionally looked sideways and saw a large group of cavalry rapidly approaching the battlefield......

"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to give them information."

As he was thinking, a large Sky Monkey exploded nearby, and a large amount of shrapnel flew around the cloth-wrapped warhead, like a metal flower blooming in the sky.
