On paper, the debut of the 1st Air Division was perfect, and the casualty ratio of the enemy and the enemy can be described as defying the sky.

To achieve such results, it is naturally inseparable from the hard work of the pilots. Of course, thanks to the brainless paramecium army led by Reizo Ishida.

If it weren't for the fact that they took the initiative to give up the altitude and leave the escort mission behind, the casualties of the soldiers of the 1st Air Division would definitely not be so light.

Although the downed data contains a large number of bombers, as long as they are shot down, it is considered a record, not to mention that the novices have really accumulated combat experience.

As for the five downed pilots, they flew three Hurricanes and two Fighters.

The two fighters were shot down by the devils with self-defense aviation machine guns when they intercepted the bombers. Although the 97 heavy explosion is not comparable to the B17 Flying Fortress in terms of protection and firepower, it is a heavy bomber no matter how it is said.

They are armed with 3-5 aviation machine guns, and they still have some combat effectiveness after forming formations.

Fortunately, Fang Ziyi led the team to disperse the formation of the devils, and the Red Sun rockets played a great role in attacking the bomber formation.

With the means to strike the Ninety-Seven Heavy Explosion from a distance, the fighters can avoid close contact with the devils.

The other three Hurricanes are a bit of a pity, theoretically with a height advantage and performance advantage, and with the bonus of B&Z tactics, it is basically impossible to shoot down.

At the beginning of the battle, the Hurricane carried not only rockets, but also aerial bombs. Although the martial arts are abundant, the large amount of ammunition affects their mobility.

Aerial bombs can't be thrown casually, after all, there are friendly forces underneath. Rockets can't be fired casually, that thing is not guided, and if it misses, it will be a painful attack on friendly forces.

But these weapons are now useful, and there are still tens of thousands of devil armies waiting ahead.

After the air battle, Captain Wang Hai looked at his comrades who had parachuted. Then he picked up the communicator and issued a new combat mission in the channel.

"Let's go to Xinxiang next! Destroy the enemy's airfield! ”

"If there's anything worth attacking along the way, I'll make up my tactics. All actions are under my command, go! ”

Ninth Army, field command post.

Regarding the attitude of the Eighth Route Army, Pei Changhui is much better than the bald head, Yan Laoxi and Shengjibi and others, he is a soldier who really adheres to the united front.

When he was promoted to commander of the Ninth Army last year, the unit had many opportunities to come into contact with the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of a team that sincerely resisted the war, he did not create friction, but gave aid to the Eighth Route Army many times, and even had good personal relations with many senior generals.

At this time, Commander Pei was holding the phone in his command post, with a shocked expression on his face.

"What? Will you tell me again? Eighth route army? You're not kidding me! ”

On the other end of the phone was the forward observation post of the 42nd Division, and a regiment commander shook the soil while keeping the microphone away from his ears, as if the sound of the devil's shells was not as loud as the voice of his own army commander.

"When is this happening, how can I have the heart to play with you!"

"Two parachuted pilots have just landed on the positions of our regiment, and they themselves say that they are the Eighth Route Army."

"Now my platoon of guards is escorting them to your command post, if you have any questions, you can ask them yourself. I'll hang up first, and the devils will attack again soon! ”

Ten minutes later, the instructors of the two aviation schools were escorted by a dozen soldiers to the command post of the Ninth Army.

In the face of these pilots who came to reinforce him, Commander Pei took the initiative to come forward and salute, and then said with an eager face:

"Two brothers, thank you for your hard work! I, Pei, swear to heaven that I will send you back to the 129th Division when the battle is over. As long as I have a breath of air, you will be the honored guests of our army! ”

"Someone! Take two pieces of clothing! Why don't you have any eyesight, don't you see that everyone is sweating! ”

The warmth of the flight suit is excellent, but it is naturally a little redundant when it comes down from the sky. The two instructors took the civilian clothes handed by the guards and then came to the map.

"Commander Pei, our 1st Air Division is about to launch an attack on the Japanese ground forces, and there is a high probability that we can dispose of some of the devil's heavy artillery and armored forces."

"I hope that your troops can cooperate appropriately and thwart the enemy's spirit."

After hearing the three words of the First Division, Pei Changhui's eyes widened. It is precisely because he has a certain understanding of the Eighth Route Army that he feels that this matter is very dreamy.

Inexplicably pulling out a division of the Air Force, this is simply not too outrageous.

"Good! Rest assured! Although the Ninth Army is not a descendant army, my brothers are not dry food! ”

"Pass my orders! Sections 47, 54 and new parts "

Before he could finish speaking, there was an explosion in the distance. At the same time, the devil's heavy artillery was also dumbfired.

·····

Licking the ground is a profound science.

The premise of all this must be that the Chinese side has already gained air supremacy. The dead ghost Ishida Reizo has already taught everyone a vivid lesson with his own end.

Normally, the air force will select targets to carry out bombing based on reconnaissance intelligence.

These targets are generally in enemy depth and include important facilities such as heavy artillery positions, supply centers, and air bases. The purpose of the battle is to destroy the enemy's living forces, and to take into account the blow to morale.

When the soldiers of the 1st Air Division came to the sky above the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, Captain Wang Hai saw the panic of the devil.

It is difficult for anyone who learns that their hundreds of planes have been shot down one by one by an unfamiliar enemy to keep their composure.

What's more, they know very well that the two divisions attacking the eastern line of Zhongtiao almost did not carry anti-aircraft weapons. After all, in the devil's heart, how can the preserved defenders have a plane.

Instead of carrying those bulky anti-aircraft guns, it is better to carry more shells. Even if the anti-aircraft artillery can be flattened, it is not as powerful as a howitzer or mountain artillery.

It's a pity that Captain Wang Hai doesn't know these things, and in his heart, the threat of the devil's field air defense is not low.

The ground air defense units of the Japanese army not only have small-caliber anti-aircraft guns such as the 96 Divine Cannon and the 98 Type, but also two big guys, the 75mm of the Taisho 11th Year and the 105mm of the Taisho 14th Year.

If you want to memorize some, you can even come across the 99-type 88mm anti-aircraft gun and the 37-mm anti-aircraft gun that imitate Sandezi.

For the sake of safety, Captain Wang Hai decided to test the anti-aircraft fire of the 35th Division by himself.

From the devil's point of view, I saw an unfamiliar monoplane fighter begin to dive. In the absence of overall command, several Type 92 heavy machine guns fought separately and began to shoot into the sky.

One of the squad leaders drew his command knife, a bandage with the word "victory" written on his forehead, and his face was frantically urging his soldiers to carry out his orders.

"35 degrees to the left! One enemy plane! Fly towards our army! Shoot in the air! ”

"Yaga! Get the ammo! ”

The Type 92 heavy machine gun's cartridge plate was too short to make continuous fire during air defense. In addition, the Showa air defense relies on roaring, and this kind of weak firepower cannot affect Captain Wang Hai at all.

The Spitfire maneuvers gracefully in the air, like a deft warhawk.

While avoiding the non-threatening fire net, it took out an artillery position with Red Sun rockets.

In order to confirm once again that the enemy really did not have any reliable anti-aircraft weapons, he also fired at the crowd with Western artillery and aviation machine guns at the moment of finishing the dive.

Six tongues of fire passed through the group of devils like long whips, and blood mist splattered and flesh flew sideways.

This kind of murderous scene suddenly made the little day who was still crying and howling the wolf shut up. They didn't even take the opportunity to fight back, allowing the Spitfire to leave the battlefield with ease.

After finishing a ground attack, Captain Wang Hai returned to the formation, he picked up the communicator and said:

"At the moment no anti-aircraft weapons have been found, and the fighters are scattered to be responsible for the alert and prevent possible reinforcements from the enemy."

"All hurricanes are allowed to perform free-plunder missions, the use of shallow dive shocks is authorized. I'll give you five minutes, remembering to leave half of the bombs and machine-gun bullets. ”

There are two types of ground attack missions, the first is to carry out wave bombing of established targets, and the objectives of such combat missions are mainly aimed at the enemy's artillery and reserve forces.

The other is the free raid mission that Captain Wang Hai just mentioned, which targets all targets that hinder one's combat operations, that is, whatever threat is hit.

Shallow dive impact is an attack method used when the enemy's air defense is not strong.

The dive usually starts at an altitude of 1000~2000 meters, and the angle is generally 50~20 degrees. In this mode, the bomb can also be released at the lowest possible altitude, all to ensure the hit rate.

Under the alternating devastation of dozens of Hurricane fighters, the artillery positions of the 35th Division were in shambles, and even several precious 105-mm guns were destroyed.

After a while, the division commander Yukichi Harada got the damage report. The old devil's eyes were full of anger, and he almost crushed his teeth.

"Send a telegram to His Excellency Ninji Okamura! Tell him that the 35th Division was under enemy air raids! The large-caliber heavy artillery was almost completely lost. ”

"Request fighter support! Otherwise, the eastern front of Nakajo Mountain will be difficult to overcome! ”

"When the enemy has reinforcements, the previous deployment will be over!"

Zhongtiao Shandong Front, the 4th Cavalry Independent Brigade.

At this time, Huagu was very depressed, and he didn't see the sharpness before leaving. He led his troops far behind the two divisions, and set off a little later than the army aviation.

Although the road from Xinxiang to Jiyuan is very suitable for cavalry, it is now a large corps battle, and the cavalry rushing forward is no different from a live target.

Their brigade had to wait for two divisions to crush the enemy's line head-on, and then it was time to harvest.

The advantage is naturally safety, there are a lot of accidents without having to go to the frontal battlefield, and the results of the battle are definitely indispensable to him. It's a pity that the front-line troops can't directly participate in the war, and it's still a little boring.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the distant sky.

As an old devil with a lot of combat experience, Hanaya immediately realized one thing, there were a large number of planes approaching the position of the 4th Cavalry Independent Brigade.

Confused, he looked at the watch on his wrist, and then called the correspondent.

"Has there been any news from the front, how did the army come back so soon. It's only been half an hour, and they're too fast. ”

After thinking for a moment, Hanaya was raising the telescope in his hand to look at the sky. I saw nearly 100 planes of all kinds, maintaining an offensive formation, flying from a distance.

Although he didn't know the planes, he knew that it was definitely not his own.

After all, whether it was the North China Front or the Kwantung Army, which came to support, they had long since eliminated biplanes.

Just as he was about to give the order, the signal corps came running from a distance. The man's face was flustered, and he knew at a glance that something big was happening.

"Your Excellency, Major General! Oh no! All three flying teams were almost wiped out! Aircraft of the troops of the Republic of China! It's flying towards us. ”

"Yaga! It's an enemy plane! ”

"Why didn't you notify in advance of such an important matter! Spread out! ”

As soon as the words fell, all the devils subconsciously looked up. The unfamiliar planes had already begun to lower their altitude and swoop down on their positions.

"Spread out! All the soldiers evacuated on their own! ”

"Enemy planes! Enemy! ”

Hua Gu was heart-rending and reminded the people around him that he didn't have time to think about why there were still planes in the Republic of China to support Zhongtiao Mountain.

On the plains, there is no shelter. Even if the formation of the troops is relatively scattered, the casualties of the aircraft group in the face of the enemy will not be small.

The soldiers of the 4th Independent Brigade of the Cavalry reacted instantly, and everyone looked for rock walls, hillsides, and other places where they could hide. Some devils even gave up their horses and ran wild on their own.

Although they had been trained to deal with airplanes, they were now in open terrain, not to mention the burden of horses underneath them.

At this moment, both biplane and monoplane fighters began to dive. This scene made Hua Guzheng's face change drastically, and he hurriedly manipulated the war horse to dodge.

A shrill whistling sounded, followed by an overwhelming rain of aerial bombs.

"Boom, boom!"

Bombs fell in the ranks of the 4th Separate Cavalry Brigade, and huge waves of shock waves and shrapnel flew in all directions from the center of the explosion.

The nearby devils fell in pieces in an instant, and the pieces of meat, horse corpses, and stones were violently lifted together, and then melted in the air.

The earth trembled under the bombs.

Most of the devils gave up their war horses, they threw away the weapons in their hands, and only hated their parents for not giving them an extra leg.

But even if you can dodge the bombs, you can't dodge the cannons and aviation machine guns. In less than five minutes, thousands of devils died in the air raid.

The fighters of the 1st Air Division swept by, and flew towards Xinxiang without looking back, leaving only a stump behind.

Five minutes later, Hanaya was being dug out of a rubble by his own lieutenant. Looking at the battlefield in front of him, he was stunned.

"Tell me it's not true!"

After a few roars, the old devil was ready to stand up on the ground. But a desperate reality made him almost faint, and his legs were broken.

"Ahh My leg! ”

It's coming, it's so hard to write.
