Chapter 184 Air Force Bombing
…
As the news continued to spread, Chiang Kai-shek in Jinling soon learned of this shocking news.
But like everyone else, they did not know how the two Japanese fleets were destroyed.
While the outside world was in shock, thousands of dead soldiers continued to spread from Zhabei to all directions, and soon encountered other troops of the Japanese fifth brigade.
Immediately afterwards, there was another one-sided massacre.
In the dark night, these dead warriors were constantly shuttling through the battlefield like ghosts. The rifle bullets in their hands kept flying out. Each bullet accurately took away the life of a Japanese soldier.
On the Japanese side, from the battle to the end, some of them were killed by sudden bullets before they even had time to fire their guns.
Even if someone fired a gun, it was all in vain.
A few hours later, when the sky gradually dawned, thousands of dead soldiers had completely cleared a large area from the north of Sihang Warehouse to the coastline.
Among them, the two airports located north of Shanghai, Dachang Airport and Jiangwan Airport, are also in the hands of the Dead Soldiers Corps.
After mastering these two airports, Li Yang quickly asked the thousands of dead soldiers who occupied the two airports to clean up the two airports, and then realized 200 British-made Spitfires at each airport.
200 German-made BF-109 fighter jets.
These two fighter jets will be the main fighter jets of the German and British forces in the future World War II.
They are the two most powerful fighters in the world currently.
In addition to fighter jets, Li Yang provided each airport with 100 German Junkers 87 dive bombers. This bomber is also the most advanced bomber currently in service in the German army.
It was also one of the top ten outstanding fighters during World War II.
In addition, each airport is equipped with 5 domestically produced B-17 long-range heavy bombers.
This bomber has only been delivered to the US Army not long ago, and the production quantity is not large.
It is currently the strategic bomber with the best overall performance in the world.
And now Li Yang has directly implemented 10 such bombers, which are more than enough to deal with the Japanese army in this period.
At this time, the Japanese army had just invaded the Shanghai area, and Li Yang had deployed more than 1,000 fighters and bombers of various types to deal with the remaining hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.
Because now the Japanese naval fleet has been completely destroyed by Li Yang, and without the aircraft carrier-based fighter jets to assist in the battle, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops scattered in the Shanghai area will have only one outcome, and that is all destruction.
Of course, even if the Japanese army had aircraft to assist in the battle, it would only slightly increase the difficulty for Li Yang.
At eight o'clock in the morning, after the two airports were completed for maintenance, fighter jets quickly took off and began to circle around the area in Shanghai occupied by the Japanese army.
When the common people and foreigners in the concession saw so many planes taking off, they thought they were Japanese planes arriving for support.
But when they saw that these fighters and bombers were attacking areas occupied by the Japanese, they realized that these fighters and bombers were not Japanese aircraft.
"Where did these planes come from?"
"When did the Chinese army have so many fighter planes?"
"Did they destroy the Japanese fleet last night?"
"This is really incredible."
In the areas surrounding Shanghai, there were positions and headquarters where the Japanese troops were stationed.
From the beginning of the morning to noon, after several hours of non-stop bombing, these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops finally experienced what it was like to be bombarded continuously by aircraft in the sky without air force assistance.
In just a few hours, the Japanese heavy artillery positions, headquarters, and all large-scale Japanese gathering positions that could be seen from the sky were violently bombarded by machine guns and aerial bombs.
In one morning, more than 100,000 Japanese troops suffered casualties as high as 40,000 from the bombing.
Because the Japanese army knew from the beginning when they launched the war that the Japanese army did not have much air force.
Therefore, the air defense force they prepared was very weak. Now faced with the crazy baptism of thousands of fighter jets, these Japanese troops could only hide in various buildings and bunkers.
After the bombing in the morning ended, at 3 p.m., while the Japanese troops were still licking their wounds, there were roaring sounds again in the sky.
On this afternoon, the thousands of fighter planes flown by the dead soldiers were not only circling over the area occupied by the Japanese army looking for attack targets, but hundreds of fighter planes also flew to the coastal areas of Shanghai to start looking for Japanese ships to attack.
At the same time, 10 B17 strategic bombers also took off directly and flew to the Korean Peninsula, which had been occupied and colonized by the Japanese army for many years.
Li Yang planned to destroy the pre-war base of the Japanese army first, and then find time to launch an attack on the Japanese homeland.
So that afternoon, not only various Japanese ships were destroyed by the air force in the waters near Shanghai.
As far away as 1,200 kilometers away on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese army's docks, factories and other important facilities were also bombed by 10 B17 bombers.
When the news reached the Japanese homeland, the Japanese navy, army, and emperor once again wailed.
Because in this short period of time, all kinds of bad news have never stopped.
They really didn't understand why such huge changes had occurred in the land of heaven in just one day.
I don't know what kind of army these troops in Shanghai are.
Not to mention that these Japanese soldiers didn't understand, Chiang Kai-shek in Jinling City also failed to figure out what was going on.
At the same time, at the bridge where Sihang Warehouse is located.
A large number of reporters, as well as representatives sent by Jinling, had already gathered at the bridge to inquire and understand the specific situation of the Death Soldier Corps.
However, in the face of these people's inquiries, a group of dead soldiers responsible for guarding the Sixings Warehouse directly rejected their request.
Therefore, these people can only make random guesses at the bridge.
"It's incredible, it's incredible that these troops not only annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese troops last night and destroyed two Japanese fleets, they also bombed the Japanese positions all day during the day. It is said that tens of thousands of Japanese troops were bombed on this day.
The army was destroyed."
"I really don't know how these armies do it."
"And where do all those planes come from?"
The British and Americans in the concession conducted comparative analysis of intelligence from all parties through the aircraft photos taken during the day, and also recognized that the fighters and bombers flown by the Dead Soldiers were the most advanced combat aircraft of the Eagle Army, the German Army, and the U.S. Army.
.
It's just that although they recognized these combat aircraft, they still didn't understand where the Death Army got so many combat aircraft.
In the evening, when night fell, just when the outside world was surrounded by various speculations and doubts, Li Yang came to an open place in Zhabei and once again summoned a group of dead soldiers.
But the number is not very large, only 10,000 people.
Because in Li Yang's view, these 10,000 people were enough to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of defeated Japanese troops in the Shanghai area.
