In the eyes of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers on the ground, their faces were full of horror, disbelief and disbelief.
Yoshimoto Teiichi's landline phone hit the ground with an orange-red fireball.
Immediately afterwards, a large plume of black smoke rose from the position where Yoshimoto's plane fell, and the transport plane was exploded again.
This is not over yet.
One of the Eighth Route Army fighter jets, under the cover of three other fighter jets, swooped down toward Yoshimoto Teiichi's plane.
There was a reinforced concrete turret at that location. On the top of the turret, Japanese soldiers mounted a Type 92 heavy machine gun and a Type 96 light machine gun, firing at the swooping down Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
Ta da da, da da, da da da...
Amidst the roar of two machine guns, sparse machine gun fire fired at the Sabre fighter jets of the Eighth Route Army.
Unfortunately……
The Japanese have too few machine guns, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun and Type 96 light machine gun are used for air defense, and their power is seriously insufficient.
Wang Hexin just pulled the joystick slightly twice and escaped the Japanese machine gun fire.
At a height of more than 300 meters above the ground, Wang Hexin pressed the bomb release button. A cylindrical aerial bomb under the belly of the aircraft expanded slightly as the aircraft expanded, became loose, and then detached from the aircraft and rolled downwards.
A black dome-like metal object, one of the most powerful bombs in the world, fell hard in the direction of the crash.
When Wang Hexin flew the fighter-bomber over the crash site, the napalm bomb hit the wreckage of the Japanese transport plane.
boom--
Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion like a landslide.
A huge circle of flames accompanied by a black mushroom cloud rolled and sputtered around, rising into the sky.
The entire wreckage of the transport plane was blown to pieces in an instant, and parts of the plane and the body parts of the Japanese disintegrated in the air.
The fiery red flames produced by the explosion of napalm bombs are like the fire of hell, with the terrifying high temperature that burns everything, rolling in all directions like ocean waves.
The three wingman pilots responsible for covering dived towards the Japanese gun towers.
Boom boom boom…
One of the fighter jets opened fire suddenly, and the 20mm shells it fired bounced up soil and gravel one meter high on the ground.
At the speed of a fighter plane flying horizontally, the four bullet marks extended to the top of the turret in an instant, leaving the Japanese with no time to dodge.
Amidst the crackling sound of being shot, half of the dozen or so Japs on the top of the turret were beaten into pieces of minced meat.
The Eighth Route Army pilots of three Saber fighter jets pulled the control stick and flew away towards the clouds.
Instructor Wang Hexin also pulled the joystick and quickly pulled the lead aircraft up.
He turned his head and glanced behind and below where the bomb was dropped.
After the explosion, the entire Japanese transport plane had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hexin smiled with satisfaction.
Shooting down Yoshimoto Seiichi was the first combat mission of the new regiment's flying brigade after its establishment. Li Shaorong repeatedly urged the flying brigade to complete the mission at all costs.
Although Yoshimoto Seiichi's plane was successfully shot down, the Japanese plane exploded for the second time after falling to the ground.
If Yoshimoto Seiichi was in that transport plane, he would basically be declared dead.
But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst, so Wang Hexin swooped down and gave Yoshimoto Seiichi an extra meal - a terrifying napalm bomb.
Now, even if the old devil Yoshimoto Teiichi is the reincarnation of Amaterasu, there is no chance of survival.
Three wingmen serving as cover behind quickly followed up.
Comrade Wang Hexin adjusted the radio channel and called: "Covering team, covering team, do you need reinforcements?"
It can be said that there is no suspense in the battle on their side.
Four Sabre fighter jets attacking a Japanese transport plane were equivalent to four big, muscular adults fighting a child who had just learned to walk.
But on the other side of the airspace, there were four comrades flying Sabre fighter jets, fighting with the Japanese Zero fighter jets.
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the leader of the cover team sounded on the radio channel, with a relaxed tone:
"01, 01, and 4 'Little Zero Birds' have all been shot down. How is the situation on your side?"
Fighting the Zero with the Saber is like an adult fighting a child. Coupled with the usual flight simulation training, pilots all know the weaknesses of the Zero.
Although these Japanese pilots have rich flying experience, they have only just touched the Zero fighter aircraft.
The Zero fighter piloted by four Army Japs pilots fought with four Saber fighters of the Eighth Route Army for two or three rounds before being shot down with a record of 0 to 4.
All the Eighth Route Army pilots in the attack group also heard the voice of the leader of the cover group, and the smiles on their faces became more and more intense.
Wang Hexin replied on the radio: "We have successfully beheaded him!"
"Beautiful!" the leader of the cover team asked with a happy tone, "01,01, do you want to launch an attack on the enemy airport?"
However, Wang Hexin knew that it was not the time to be happy yet, as there was still a mission that had not been completed. He issued an order in a calm tone: "Don't act rashly yet, wait until we come over to join your cover team, and then attack the airport together!"
Cover team leader: "Understood!"
Immediately afterwards, the cover team and the attack team merged smoothly and flew roaring towards Wusu Airport.
The reconnaissance team is still hovering at high altitude and is responsible for continuing to investigate the nearby airspace.
…
On the ground, countless Japanese soldiers watched as Yoshimoto Seiichi's plane was shot down, and the enemy plane swooped down unscrupulously to reload an aerial bomb.
Four of the most advanced Zero fighter jets fought with enemy aircraft for less than three rounds before they were all shot down.
All the Japanese who saw this scene looked at it in disbelief and their eyes widened.
In the area where a group of Japanese generals and assistant officers gathered, the Japanese officers were even more frightened. They stood there motionless one by one, like sculptures.
broken!
Something big happened!
The plane of the new commander of the First Army was shot down by an enemy plane!
The heads of the Japanese officers were buzzing, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was not until the Eighth Route Army fighter-bombers reunited and swooped down towards the airport with the roar of their huge aircraft engines. Under the huge threat, the Japanese officers finally
react to.
Under the protection of the guards, they all ran towards the air-raid shelter.
…
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
Not long after the air defense siren at Wusu Airport was sounded, the air defense siren in Taiyuan was also sounded.
The shrill and urgent air-raid sirens rang throughout Taiyuan City, groups of air-raid Japanese soldiers entered combat positions, and the people in the city hid in their houses one after another.
Immediately, Iwamatsu Yoshio was escorted into the headquarters air-raid shelter by the Japanese lieutenant responsible for protecting the headquarters and several guards.
Although the Japanese Lieutenant's actions were a little rough, he was still responsible for his own safety.
Yoshio Iwamatsu did not blame the lieutenant.
Compared to Masa Hanatani, Masao Miyazaki and the combat staff, the actions of this lieutenant actually made Yoshio Iwamatsu feel warmer.
As the saying goes, the tea becomes cold when someone leaves. The tea becomes cold before others leave.
The world is so cold...
But what puzzled Yoshio Iwamatsu was that someone sounded the air raid siren. What on earth was going on?
Generally, the air defense siren will be sounded only when there is an air raid.
Today is the day when the new commander of the First Army takes office. Could it be that someone mistakenly sounded the air defense alarm?
However, Yoshio Iwamatsu's doubts did not last long.
Lieutenant Jaiko, who was responsible for protecting the safety of the headquarters, hurried in and reported to Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation has been clarified..."
"What happened?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio asked in a deep voice, maintaining the dignity of the commander.
"I just got a call from the airport. The new commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi..."
The Japanese lieutenant paused for a moment before continuing to report:
"I was attacked by enemy planes over the airport and was already in pieces."
"Nani?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio's expression changed slightly: "What's going on? Where did the enemy plane come from?"
How could the Japanese lieutenant know where the enemy plane came from? He quickly bowed his head in condolences.
Seeing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu had a complicated expression for a moment. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, or what kind of expression he should show.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Yoshio Iwamatsu himself didn’t know.
However, he knew one thing. He was afraid that he would have to continue to be the commander of the First Army.
"What's your name? Where are you from?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu interrupted the Japanese Lieutenant's mourning.
"Report to the commander." Lieutenant Japanese lowered his head and replied, "My name is Kamekawa Shiro, from Tokyo."
"Yoshi!" Yoshio Iwamatsu muttered, "Kamegawa-kun, starting from today, your military rank will be promoted from lieutenant to major."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Kamekawa Shiro looked overjoyed and quickly bent at 90 degrees and bowed his head to express his thanks.
Being able to reach the rank of lieutenant and being assigned by Yamamoto Kazuki to be responsible for protecting the headquarters, Kamekawa Shiro is naturally not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.
Now that the new First Army Commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, has been replaced, there is a high probability that Yoshio Iwamatsu will return to serve as the First Army Commander.
If I get close to the big tree of Iwamatsu Yoshio, I am afraid that my future will be limitless...
At this moment, an explosion like a landslide came from the airport, and Yoshio Iwamatsu's expression suddenly changed.
"Kamekawa-kun, go immediately and ask what happened at the airport?"
"Hi!"
Kamekawa Shiro lowered his head, turned around and left quickly.
…
At this time, Wusu Airport was already filled with smoke.
Wang Hexin led an attack team to bomb the runway and facilities of Wusu Airport.
Several aerial bombs fell, and the runway that had just been repaired by Japanese engineers was blown to pieces.
The four fighter jets of the cover group were still responsible for cover, conducting dive strafing and bombing against the airport's anti-aircraft firepower.
After the attack group blew up the runway, they joined in dive strafing and bombing.
The Japanese infantry defending the airport suffered heavy losses, and many were burned to ashes by napalm bombs.
After firing most of the 20mm aerial artillery shells and dropping all aerial bombs and napalm bombs.
Wang Hexin then led the cover group, attack group, and reconnaissance group and walked away with satisfaction. Eight Saber fighter jets and two reconnaissance planes were quickly pulled into the clouds.
The entire Wusu Airport was almost reduced to a sea of flames.
Below, the flames were raging into the sky, just like purgatory on earth.
