But just as the foreign concession in Songhu became popular with newspaper news about He Feiyang's aircraft group bombing the Japanese artillery unit,
Before night came, the Japanese aircraft group also urgently mobilized for combat operations. In the Songhu occupied area and the Japanese airfield, more than 50 Type 96 fighter jets also quickly took off for combat operations.
In addition to the first time, the Navy's Type 95 carrier-based fighter jets and Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets are also preparing for sorties.
And the number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched reached more than 40.
Because He Feiyang's aircraft group almost destroyed the artillery of the Sixth Division, and even the artillery of the Sixteenth Division, which moved quickly, suffered some casualties.
Therefore, these bad news were quickly conveyed to Commander Matsui Iwane and Prince Asaka Hatohiko, which shocked these two high-level Japanese.
Afterwards, Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko's temper suddenly erupted like a volcano, and he personally issued instructions to the aviation force for sorties, including the carrier-based aircraft group on the Navy side, who also gave instructions for sorties.
Therefore, both the Army Air Force and Hainan Airlines immediately dispatched a large number of aircraft to the capital city to bomb the defense lines at Niushou Mountain, Chunhua Town, and even the entire capital city, in order to exact revenge.
Because He Feiyang's group of planes had already moved so fast after the bombing was completed that even the shadow of one of them could not be found, so it would be a fool's errand to annihilate He Feiyang's flying troops.
Japanese Eleventh Army Headquarters,
"Baga! Have all the flying units on the Army Aviation side been dispatched to me?"
"And what about HNA's carrier-based aircraft group? Have they also launched combat operations?"
When Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko read the post-war report of the Sixth Division,
He was even more furious and roared again and again.
Because the casualties of the entire Sixth Division's artillery unit and the heavy losses of the artillery were completely beyond his imagination, Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko was so angry.
"Hai!"
"Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines have already sent out combat aircraft groups, a total of one hundred aircraft!"
"So this time, we can definitely blow up the China Army's position to a pulp, and there are almost two hundred aircraft, ready to go out, ready to go out after the first round of bombing by the aircraft group, and take turns to bomb China.
Military!"
"Furthermore, Commander Matsui Iwane is also prepared to personally supervise the sorties of all flying units!"
Japanese staff officer Kenta Sato also hurriedly continued reporting.
"Baga! These damn enemy planes actually blew up the entire artillery unit of the Sixth Division, leaving very little behind!"
"It's so abominable!"
"We absolutely cannot let them go!"
"They were able to escape temporarily! Then let's use the blood of the Chinese army to wipe away the shame of our imperial army!"
"Let the troops on the front line report to me every hour the status of our aviation force's bombardment of the China Army!"
"In addition, I asked the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division to fully occupy the Niushou Mountain and Chunhua Town areas where the Chinese Army was holding on within an hour. In addition, the other divisions were also asked to attack the Chinese Army as soon as possible.
I want to attack the capital city as soon as possible and fill it with all the flags of our empire!"
"End this China war as soon as possible!"
"As long as their capital is occupied, all the Chinese troops will not have the will to fight and continue to fight tenaciously against our imperial army!"
Upon hearing that Commander Matsui Iwane was ready to personally supervise the flying troops and conduct combat bombing,
Prince Asaka Palace's expression softened a little.
"Okay! In that case, let's wait for the good news to come!"
"Commander Matsui Iwane still has a good combat vision, and his combat plan is much better than my one-time bombing plan!"
"And with him working with me to supervise the Army Air Force and conduct air strikes and bombings with the Hainan Airlines, I feel relieved!"
"Now, please convey my combat order to me immediately and let the division commanders of the Sixth Division and Sixteenth Division know that if they fail to follow the combat order I just issued, they will fully capture Niushou Mountain within an hour.
And Chunhua Town, then they should not be the commander of this division!"
After hearing that Commander Matsui Iwane was also preparing to personally supervise the flying units and conduct bombing operations,
Prince Jiuyan of Asaka Palace also regained his composure.
"Hai!"
Japanese staff officer Kenta Sato quickly agreed loudly again.
After that, not long after,
Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago, the commander of the 16th Division, and Colonel Kishiida, the chief of staff, as well as Lieutenant General Hisao Nagatani, the division commander of the 6th Division, and Shimono Kazuda, the chief of staff, also received gifts from Asaka Palace
Prince Hatohiko's battle order.
They had just experienced the thrilling scene of the recent air raids and bombings,
Even now, I am still furious, especially because of the heavy losses of my artillery unit and the number of artillery casualties, and I wish I could shoot down and annihilate all of He Feiyang's flying units.
So when they received the very unceremonious combat order from Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko,
They also carried out the combat orders without hesitation, preparing to vent all their inner resentment and resentment to the national army and prepare to go on a killing spree.
So, soon, the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division joined forces and launched a general attack on the front lines in Niushou Mountain and Chunhua Town.
Facing the murderous attack of the Japanese army that surged in like a tidal wave,
All of a sudden, the National Army troops and Sichuan Army troops who were defending Niushou Mountain suffered heavy casualties.
Especially the artillery unit of the 16th Division, most of the artillery is intact and can still carry out artillery coverage bombing.
In addition, the hundred Japanese planes also arrived to carry out air strikes and bombings.
For a time, the entire Niushou Mountain and Chunhua Town fronts were bombarded by aerial bombs and Japanese artillery fire. The bombings were filled with flames and smoke, and there were heavy casualties.
Then, just in the evening,
Niushou Mountain and Chunhua Town were occupied by the Japanese army.
The National Army's 74th Army and the Sichuan Army units that were stationed here were also forced to withdraw from their positions and shift their combat fronts.
Because they could not withstand the indiscriminate bombing by hundreds of Japanese planes, as well as a large number of artillery fire coverage bombings. In addition, two elite Japanese divisions launched an infantry charge together, and there were still more than 60 soldiers.
Japanese tanks and chariots went out to fight together.
As for the fall of Niushou Mountain and the front lines in Chunhua Town, Commander Tang who was far away in the capital city, He Feiyang who was deployed in the front lines in Zijin Mountain, and the senior officers of the teaching corps all responded immediately.
