Tian Kezhi held the telegram, his hands shaking with excitement.

"Commander, political commissar, good news, good news!" Tian Kezhi's excitement had already revealed the results of the battle. "The air defense force successfully set up an ambush and shot down the Japs' plane."

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters was filled with joy.

They had endured this for too long, and the Japanese planes had gone too far. Now they successfully shot down the Japanese planes, giving them a good sigh of relief.

"No matter what you are happy about, you are happy about it!" Zhao Zhiguo scolded.

Hearing Zhao Zhiguo roar, the officers and soldiers in the headquarters stopped cheering and put their joy back.

"What are you shouting for? What's there to be happy about?" Zhao Zhiguo said with a straight face, "Old Tian, ​​how many planes did the air defense force shoot down?"

"The little devil had a total of twelve planes, and we destroyed eleven of them, the last one was damaged, and finally we allowed him to escape," Tian Kezhi said.

"Shooted down eleven aircraft? Although I believe in our soldiers, this is the first time they have used anti-aircraft guns in combat." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Zhao Zhiguo was worried that the air defense troops were falsely reporting their results for the sake of military exploits.

It is a serious crime to lie about the results of a battle in the army, and in serious cases it is punishable by death.

"Commander, they said they seemed to have hit the ammunition depot of the Japanese aircraft. There was a huge explosion and the flames engulfed the Japanese aircraft." Tian Kezhi said.

"Ammunition depot? Is the kid's plane full of ammunition?" Zhao Zhiguo rubbed his chin and thought.

It is not impossible. If there were a large number of explosives on the Japanese aircraft and they were concentrated by anti-aircraft guns, the explosives would explode on the aircraft, enough to destroy the surrounding aircraft.

But this was such a coincidence that Zhao Zhiguo couldn't believe it.

The first attack by the air defense forces wiped out almost all Japanese aircraft.

"Tell the captain of the air defense brigade that after everything is settled, come to the headquarters immediately to explain the matter clearly." Zhao Zhiguo ordered.

After Zhao Zhiguo finished issuing the order, everything was still quiet.

Zhao Zhiguo glanced at the staff of the headquarters with interest, and deliberately continued to say with a straight face: "Why are you still standing there? Are you happy?"

The staff officers, who had been a little slow to react, finally realized that it was time for them to cheer.

Zhao Zhiguo also had a smile on his face.

No matter how the Japanese plane was destroyed, as long as they knocked down the little Japanese plane, they would be considered successful in this battle.

"Lao Tian, ​​notify the nearby troops to search for the wreckage of the Japanese plane. Even the wooden boards that fell from the plane must be collected and sent to the arsenal," Zhao Zhiguo ordered again, "Also, see if there are any alive

You little Japanese pilot, don’t beat him to death, try to catch him back for me.”

"Commander, there was a violent explosion in the Japanese aircraft. The Japs had no time to react, and their aircraft disintegrated in the sky," Tian Kezhi said.

The pilot of the Little Devil had no time to react. The plane had been dismembered in the explosion, and the fuel exploded. The temperature in the center was as high as several thousand degrees. It was estimated that the Little Devil pilot would not even be able to survive.

"Hey... Just try your best to find the best one. If you can't find it, it's just a fly in the ointment!" Zhao Zhiguo sighed.

The destruction of eleven Japanese aircraft exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that being able to win three or five fights would be a lesson to the little devil.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the establishment of my own air defense force, the first battle was earth-shattering.

It is estimated that the Japanese division commanders in Gangcun and Bingzhou couldn't believe it after hearing the news.

The Japanese plane was shot down, and the news spread instantly. After all, there were villages and people in the ambush who saw the Japanese plane being blown up with their own eyes.

Bingzhou was the first to get the news, because a Zero fighter landed staggeringly at Bingzhou Airport.

When the plane landed, everyone saw that the plane was covered with scars, but fortunately it avoided all vital points.

If these scars were just a few centimeters shorter, the Japanese plane would have crashed.

When the plane landed, the Japanese troops in Bingzhou City did not realize that the transport team heading to Bingzhou had been ambushed and had an opportunity.

The Japanese army thought that the plane was on a reconnaissance mission to the Central Army-controlled area and had a fight with a Chinese plane, so it was injured and unable to return to other airports. They had to land at Bingzhou Airport.

But they soon learned the truth, and the truth of the matter shocked the Japanese division commander in Bingzhou.

"What?! There are anti-aircraft guns in the Eighth Route Army's release area. Where did they get the anti-aircraft guns? You are obviously talking nonsense."

A poor and clanking force, the best weapons are the captured cannons and anti-aircraft weapons from their hands.

Even if they were given anti-aircraft guns, would any of Zhao Zhiguo's troops know how to use them?

But no matter how suspicious the Japanese division commander was, things had already happened. Not only were the transported materials destroyed, but even the aircraft was damaged.

Only the last fighter jet arrived at Bingzhou Airport with great difficulty, and its fuselage was damaged in many places, and Bingzhou did not have the tools to repair the aircraft.

In other words, this Japanese fighter jet was declared scrapped and could only be used as a sight at the airport.

The Japanese division commander in Bingzhou did not expect that after the airport they built, the plane they had been waiting so hard for would actually be waiting for a plane that could not do anything.

"This news must not be publicized and no one can discuss it."

The Japanese division commander reluctantly accepted this reality that was unacceptable to him. He could only order the news to be blocked and not to be spread.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the Japanese aircraft exploded in the sky, which was as dazzling as the sun, and could be clearly seen by people more than ten kilometers away.

Within a few days, the explosion of the Japanese aircraft became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys of Bingzhou City after dinner.

"Big news, have you heard? A few days ago, the Japs were going around preaching how powerful their planes were and sending them supplies. In the past few days, their planes were shot down by Commander Zhao's troops."

"It's so satisfying to make them arrogant. I think Commander Zhao is deliberately making the little devils arrogant, so that as high as they fly, they will fall as hard as they can."

When the people in the Bingzhou area heard that the Japanese aircraft had been blown up, they secretly clapped their hands and applauded.

Team Leader Gu was under tremendous pressure a few days ago, but these days he was smiling when he walked. The troops of the First Military Division did not disappoint him.

"Such great news should be rejoiced with the people," said Team Leader Gu.

"Team leader, where did the First Military Division get its anti-aircraft weapons?"

Although the underground intelligence personnel were engaged in intelligence, no one among them except Team Leader Gu knew that the First Military Division already had anti-aircraft weapons.
