Chapter 294: Ace Air Battle

"Yaga! Where did the guerrillas of the China people come from? Didn't it mean that they had been driven north or even exterminated in the encirclement and suppression battles in North China? How did it end up here? ”

Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke of the Japanese Tenth Army put down his binoculars and cursed loudly at the group of waste agents of the Special High-tech Branch, the information they gave was not accurate at all, and they would be attacked and harassed by the opposing guerrillas during such an important deployment of the war.

Although the opponent has a limited number of people, only one or two thousand people per team, and the number is never more than three thousand, but in this way, there will be many variables in the Empire's plan to besiege Nanjing, and for the army, which has not made achievements for a long time, they urgently need a big victory to prove themselves.

But the reality has made them hit walls everywhere, as if nothing is going well.

Counting from the process of assembling the various divisions and regiments, almost every division and regiment has been harassed and attacked by guerrillas, who sometimes suddenly set up ambushes to kill convoys, sometimes they disguised themselves to burn grain and grass, and sometimes they blended into two different divisions and regiments to give random orders in Japanese, spreading rumors, and making people panic and not know who to listen to.

Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke has reason to suspect that these actions of the other side are highly centralized and unified deployments, and they are not local armed forces that spontaneously acted as stated by the special high-tech department.

If you want to say that a guerrilla group behaves spontaneously, he can understand, but now so many teams are harassing them with a strong purpose, it is by no means spontaneous, it must be planned.

And behind this plan seems to be hiding a person, or an organization, once this idea is made, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke feels a chill down his spine, as if he is being watched by an invisible eye all the time.

"Sir, the vanguard has defeated the enemy and can continue to advance, the military headquarters ordered my troops of the Tenth Army to pursue the enemy's remnants from the south bank of Taihu Lake to Nanjing, and in the process form a roundabout encirclement of Nanjing in the south and north of the Yangtze River, to prepare for the subsequent siege!"

Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't help but wrinkle the corners of his mouth when he heard this order from the soldiers, wanting to ask which idiot gave this order?

But in the end, he held back, raised his hand and drove the soldiers away, spread out the map, and carefully studied the current situation.

Yanagawa Heisuke pondered the resistance and harassment they had encountered since they planned to attack Nanjing, marked a few points, and marked the positions where the enemy's regular troops were stationed, and suddenly noticed a problem.

There is no connection or cooperation between these guerrillas and the regular army, and they belong to different groups?

Well....... Yo Xi, is this something you can take advantage of?

Yanagawa Heisuke was making a small calculation there when he suddenly heard the hum of an airplane in the sky.

At first, he didn't care, because their air force would bomb the targets that were going to attack half a month in advance, but didn't it set to only bomb two rounds today? Why are there planes taking off again? It seems that the Air Force, like him, has little patience anymore.

After a while, Yanagawa Heisuke felt that something was wrong, because there was already a commotion outside his tent, and someone kept shouting, "It's not our plane, it's not our plane." ”

"What? Not our planes? Who would that be? The China's poor number of pilots and fighters made it impossible for them to bypass the defensive deployment of our air force and fly over the heads of our troops. ”

Yanagawa Heisuke strode out the door, trying to get a good look at whose plane it was, but was knocked back into the room by the air wave generated by the sudden and violent explosion.

His whole body was lifted back, his back slammed against the wall, and slowly slid down like a mass of humanoid plasticine, only to feel that his head was buzzing, and all his internal organs seemed to be displaced by the impact just now.

The rumbling sound continued to be heard, and they were actually attacked by air raids in the process of besieging the other city!?

"Eight grid tooth road......! Those idiots in the Air Force, what the hell are they doing? How could you let enemy planes into our airspace?! ”

Yes, Zhou Zhen and his Wyvern fighter team had also arrived at the preset location, and they were communicated by Wang Xian, temporarily borrowing the military airfield of the defenders of Nanjing, and began to carry out tactical air strikes on the Japanese troops besieging the city of Nanjing.

This is not only a return gift to the other side for bombing the city of Nanjing, but also to make the enemy's army fearful, if they ignore the danger of bombing their heads at any time, this can also slow down the enemy's encirclement, buy time for their ground forces, and create opportunities.

In the sky, Zhou Zhen, who had finished dropping a round of bombs, began to return with a total of twelve P40 fighters under his subordinates.

Their task is to take them by surprise, to attack them unprepared, to quickly drop their bombs and turn around and leave, so as not to give the opposing air force a chance to react, as they have done before.

It's just that Zhou Zhen, who is flying in the sky, can better observe the battle situation around Nanjing City, and use his almost God-like perspective to have a bird's-eye view of the battle situation, and find that the form is not optimistic at all.

Although Mr. Zhou had foreseen this scene and sent five Z-shaped task forces, as well as the teams of Wang Lianhao and Wang Xian, to defend the battle, the number of Japanese troops was too large, and the combat effectiveness of the defenders was limited.

But once it enters the street fighting, the safety of the people's lives and property cannot be guaranteed, and the damage to the entire city will reach an unpredictable level.

However, as they began to return home, Zhou Zhen saw through the mirrors and the airborne radar that unidentified targets that were not friendly forces were approaching.

"Little ones~Attention~ Guests~!"

Under Zhou Zhen's reminder, dense planes gradually appeared behind them, which was the latest ace model developed by the Japanese army in this battle and put on the battlefield - the Zero fighter.

This is a small fighter with a single-seat, single-engine flat straight wing layout, which dominates for a while with the characteristics of small turning radius, fast speed, and long range.

Without Zhou Yu's appearance, no one would be an opponent of the Zero fighter in the Asian theater, and now the improved P40 fighter piloted by Zhou Zhen can compete with one of them.

"Lock on to the enemy plane ahead! Destroy them all! Rush over~~~ The sons of the empire~~! ”

On the Japanese Air Force Channel, Sogo Osa-Arita personally piloted a plane and led as many as fifty-six air combat squadrons to catch up with this mysterious air force that had caused them a headache recently.

Their fuselage is painted with a shark's head, and not only is they fast, but their flying skills are also amazing, making their whereabouts elusive.

But this time, Arita Sogo pressed the right treasure, he bet that the other party would definitely participate in the defense of Nanjing, so he mobilized his aviation squadron early to wait not far away, and when their bombers completed the first round of bombing and returned, he had already taken to the air, and began to look around for this ghostly air force team led by Zhou Zhen, and now he was finally found.

"Fire fire, fire! Don't let anyone go! ”

Sogo Arita yelled into the microphone, and he couldn't wait to press the button from a long distance, and the 7.7mm machine gun and 20mm machine gun hanging under the wings began to flash fire, pouring bullets at the other side.

"Brother Dog, the enemy can't wait to shoot, should we retreat with all our strength or turn around and do with them?"

Zhou Zhen observed the opponent's dense formation, and said with a chuckle: "The opponent's flying formation is so dense, if you don't fight back, I'm sorry for the big gift they gave~!" Ah Hao, Guo Dong, fight back with me, and the rest of the people return to the airport as originally planned, don't fall in love with the war, this batch of fighters seems to be quite superior, and preserving strength is still what we need to do the most~! ”

At the same time that Arita Sogo led his flying squadron to pursue Zhou Zhen's squad with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, he saw three planes raise the fuselage and make a difficult move of flipping upward, directly inserting the fuselage into the clouds, which made him lose his target for a while.

"What? Are the three planes ready to escape? We can't see you when we fly into the clouds, but you can't see us either, and everyone is obstructed by the same line of sight! ”
