The large transport plane flew directly towards the Eighth Route Army's position.
The huge engine roared and the transport plane passed through the clouds. This situation naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese.
"Nani, what's going on?"
The commander of the 3rd Division, Nishihara Kanji, and the chief of staff, Matsuda Daizao, quickly raised their telescopes to look.
Hearing the scream of the signal bomb, the two of them looked in the direction of the Eighth Route Army position simultaneously.
After putting down the telescope, the two looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
Matsuda Daizuo said with an ugly face: "Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army has called for airdrops of supplies. Order the machine guns to shoot down these planes!"
Although it is a field force of the second-line division, the 3rd Division is also equipped with some Type 98 0mm machine guns, but not many.
Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji ordered: "Matsuda-kun, order the air defense troops to open fire immediately!"
Nishihara Kanji knew very well that once the Eighth Route Army received this batch of airdrop supplies, the Locust Army would suffer heavy losses.
Although the transport planes fly relatively high, what if they are shot down? Every one that can be shot down is one. Shooting down a transport plane will save the Eighth Route Army a batch of equipment.
Moreover, Nishihara Kanji saw that there were only three fighter jets escorting the transport plane, and felt that there was a good chance.
"Hi!"
Matsuda Taizuo nodded, turned around and gave orders to the air defense troops.
"Everything..." As the order from the division headquarters was issued, six Type 98 0mm machine guns opened fire at high altitude on the Japanese air defense position.
Even though three of the Type 98 machine guns were twin-mounted, judging from the trajectories of tracer bullets streaking through the air, the Japanese's anti-aircraft firepower was very sparse, and the firepower of rifles and light and heavy machine guns was out of reach.
As soon as the Japanese anti-aircraft fire opened fire on the transport aircraft, three Saber fighter jets turned around and flew towards the Japanese anti-aircraft formation.
The Japanese machine guns immediately gave up shooting at the transport aircraft and instead opened fire at the swooping fighter jets.
The Japanese air defense troops knew very well that if the fighter jets were not shot down, the air defense position would have no chance of surviving.
However, the Saber fighter just rolled over during the dive to avoid the Japanese anti-aircraft fire.
One lead aircraft entered the attack position, two wingmen served as cover, and three fighter jets entered the dive position in a combat formation, which looked very professional.
"Everything, everything..."
The 0-millimeter cannon on the belly of the fighter jet opened fire, and in the series of firings, the cannon shells splashed several streaks of dirt and gravel more than half a meter high on the ground.
At this time, the Japanese infantry around the anti-aircraft position fired at the aerial fighter jets, and the machine guns roared wildly.
】
but.
The power of the Japs' 6.mm bullets and 7.7mm machine gun rounds is seriously insufficient for air defense. After all, the Saber fighter is not the thin-skinned aircraft of the Japs.
The Japanese's seven or eight light and heavy machine guns weaved a firepower net and continued to output firepower at the swooping fighter jets.
However, it was already too late. The bullet marks in the soil, sand and stones extended to the Japanese machine gun positions in the blink of an eye.
There was a loud crashing sound, and the Japanese main shooter and deputy shooter of the two anti-aircraft gun positions were beaten into pieces by 0mm aircraft shells.
As the fighter jet passed by, the cylindrical aviation incendiary bomb on the belly of the lead aircraft became loose.
The huge black egg-like metal object rolled violently and was thrown straight towards the Japanese anti-aircraft gun position.
After the sharp whistling sound, there was a brief sound of the shell falling to the ground, but less than half a second after this sound, there was an explosion like a landslide.
boom!
A huge circle of flames spread out with the sound of explosions. The entire air defense position was instantly engulfed in flames, the Japanese were instantly burned to ashes, and the machine guns melted instantly.
The flames and air waves of the explosion spread crazily around, sweeping around like a tide.
The surrounding Japanese infantrymen ran wildly, but the Japanese infantrymen who were close to the air defense position were quickly overtaken and devoured by the flames that swept over them, and then their bodies disintegrated in an instant.
The three fighter jets turned left and then turned back. The turning radius of the Saber fighter was not large. They raised their fuselage and turned back and quickly entered the attack position.
The Japanese infantry attacked the fighter jets, and the fighter jets naturally had to defend themselves.
This time, the wingmen carrying napalm bombs did not cover the dive attack of the main engine. Instead, they each looked for targets, dived to shoot and dropped bombs, and the enemy flew to where.
The Japanese machine guns were screaming wildly, and bullets were flying in the air, but this did not affect the fighter jets' dive shooting and bombing at all.
"Baga, another bomb was dropped!"
A Japanese squadron leader was directing his squadron to shoot at fighter jets.
But the next second the Japanese squadron leader heard the whistling sound of falling aerial bombs, and suddenly his scalp was numb and he shouted loudly.
The Japs in this squadron quickly dispersed and ran into the distance. The Japs squadron leader also turned around and ran away.
But the Japanese squadron leader stumbled and fell to the ground. Two Japanese soldiers quickly came over to help him.
The huge aviation incendiary bomb had landed dozens of meters away from the Japanese, and a huge explosion sounded.
"Baga, run!"
The Japanese squadron leader looked horrified and hurriedly said to the two Japanese soldiers.
However, it was already too late. The flame shock wave caused by the explosion swept towards the Japanese squadron leader like a wave, swallowing up the Japanese squadron leader and the two Japanese soldiers.
The bodies of the two soldiers and the Japanese squadron leader were like dried mud, shattering into pieces with a snap.
After the flame shock wave passed over the Japanese squadron leader and two Japanese soldiers, it continued to rush towards the Japanese soldiers who were running wildly.
A few hundred meters away, another napalm bomb swallowed up most of the squadron of Japs.
After dropping the napalm bombs, the three fighter jets flew towards the transport plane. At this time, the transport plane was already flying over the Eighth Route Army position.
At the 3rd Division headquarters.
Kanji Nishihara and Daizao Matsuda looked incredulous and furious.
Since the Japs were assembled in squadrons, they launched against the Eighth Route Army positions and attacked the Eighth Route Army base areas with fuel tactics.
Three fighter jets and two dive attacks actually wiped out nearly two squadrons and air defense positions of the 3rd Division?
Where did this enemy plane come from? Why are the aerial bombs carried by fighter jets so powerful?
"Commander of the division, look, transport planes have begun to airdrop combat supplies to the Eighth Route Army!" Matsuda Daizuo suddenly said.
Nishihara Kanji hurriedly withdrew his eyes from the burning area and looked in the direction of the Eighth Route Army position. He saw dense airdrops falling with parachutes in the sky a few kilometers above the Eighth Route Army position.
"hateful!"
Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara punched the dirt in front of him, his eyes widening with anger.
Even if the Eighth Route Army called for airdrop, they actually airdropped it in front of the locust army, which is simply heartbreaking.
