The dense barrage was like the sudden fireworks at a festival, catching the little devil off guard.
They were dive bombing, and the planes were already close to the bombing altitude. Some of the bombers were already preparing to drop bombs, but at this moment, a huge barrage suddenly appeared directly in front of them.
The sky was filled with bullets and shells, and unless the little devil could make an emergency brake in the air, there was no way he could dodge.
The entire Baijia Town stretches across the north and south, and is blocked by at least three barrages.
When the little Japanese pilot saw this, he screamed in horror.
But everything was too late, the three bombers at the front were directly crushed by the sudden barrage.
Although they pressed the button to drop the bomb before, the bomb was hit by an endless rain of bullets and exploded in mid-air before it fell.
Boom!
The violent explosion sent streaks of fire into the air.
Debris from the explosion flew around, and thick smoke billowed out in all directions along with the explosion.
At this moment, although the Japanese aircraft behind the explosion saw this scene, they had no time to escape.
The plane was hit by scattered shrapnel, the propeller was shattered, and the plane lost control and fell in the direction of Baijia Town.
However, before the plane landed in the city, it was hit by a 37mm anti-aircraft artillery bomb and exploded.
"Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up quickly!"
The captain of the Japanese flight group roared loudly. Although he couldn't understand why the imperial plane was sniped by the enemy at this moment, at this time, only pulling up could save the entire flight formation.
But it was too chaotic at this time, and his roar could not reach the ears of every Japanese pilot.
The strong electromagnetic fluctuations generated by the explosion affected radio transmission, and many people could not hear the orders of the Japanese flight captain.
So only some of the pilots pulled up, while the other pilots were still dropping bombs on Baijia Town, weaving through the rain of bombs.
Fortunately, the plane was hit by a bullet and the plane escaped with injuries, but if unlucky, it could only end up in Baijia Town.
But even so, the Japs' bombers also successfully dropped bombs, with 250 kilograms of heavy bombs roaring in mid-air.
Zhou Weiguo and others could see clearly at the east city gate that a black spot was getting bigger and bigger in everyone's eyes.
Zhou Weiguo shouted: No, everyone gets down.
But the speed of the aerial bomb was too fast at this time. Before Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, the heavy bomb had already fallen, right on the middle and lower part of the south side of the East Gate.
It was so thrilling. As long as an aerial bomb landed on the city wall, or on the middle and upper part of the city wall, an aerial bomb could send Zhou Weiguo and others directly into the sky.
Boom!
But even so, the huge explosion still shattered the wall on the south side of the East City Gate, blasting a large crater with a diameter of seven or eight meters in the wall, and the entire East City Wall shook.
Zhou Weiguo and the soldiers on the city wall were unsteady and almost fell down. But even so, the bright red flag in Zhou Weiguo's hand still did not put down.
Because at this moment, everyone in the city is looking at this flag, and this flag is the clarion call for attack.
Although the Japanese lost seven bombers in an instant, they still had many more aircraft.
In addition to the five bombers that were injured and withdrawn from the battle, the Japanese also had 21 bombers that circled in the sky and flew back again.
At the same time, Japanese fighter jets also joined the battle group, and they dived and fired at the machine gunners on the city wall.
The soldiers held machine guns and fired at the Japanese, but the Japanese fighter jets flew too fast and they couldn't hit them. Instead, a Japanese plane fired along the northern city wall, and more than a dozen people were shot.
The sacrificed soldiers fell in a pool of blood, but the surviving soldiers once again picked up their machine guns and continued to shoot at the Japanese planes that were flying away.
The bullets that poured out seemed to have sensed the anger of their owners, roaring in the air until they knocked off the tail fins of the Japanese aircraft.
The plane lost control and instantly fell into a death roll.
The Japanese pilot screamed in panic. Although he wanted to parachute to survive, the plane was rolling violently. After a moment, it crashed outside Beicheng.
The huge explosion raised a mushroom cloud, which stunned the Japanese scouts who were attacking in the distance.
Just as the Japanese bombers were approaching, Captain Bo Tian had already ordered his troops to move forward.
Bo Tian's plan was to launch a fierce attack on Baijia Town after the air force's bombing, and then capture Baijia Town in one fell swoop, cutting off the retreat route of the Changzhou defenders.
But what no one expected was that the empire's planes actually got into a fierce battle over Baijia Town, and even the fighter jets crashed.
The Japanese Japs Botian felt bad and ordered his troops to quickly approach Baijia Town.
Naturally, this scene was seen by the scouts of the 522nd Regiment. A large number of Japanese were moving towards Baijia Town, and the Japanese truck pulling a heavy artillery actually ran to the front of the team.
It was obvious that the Japanese planned to use artillery to cooperate with the air force's bombing, and then capture Baijia Town in one fell swoop.
The scout quickly reported to Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo looked at the Japanese bombers in the sky, then looked back at the approaching Japanese artillery. He was caught in a dilemma for a moment.
On the one hand, there are Japanese bombings that need to be dealt with, and on the other hand, a large number of Japanese soldiers are approaching Baijia Town.
And especially the Japanese artillery, once the Japanese artillery cooperates with the bomber formation, Baijia Town will become a dead place.
Although he had troops under his command, they could not withstand the continuous air and ground bombardment of the Japanese army.
Moreover, yesterday's battle and today's air defense battle had drastically reduced the number of artillery shells he carried.
On the battlefield, without artillery cover, it will become a nightmare for the infantry.
Just like the Battle of Songhu, before the enemy appears in your firing range, most of the people on the position are already dead. So how can we fight this battle? Everyone has to die on the position.
He was filled with hatred now, because it was all the fault of Dragon Boat Festival. He left him here and went out to be happy by himself, not even his independent group.
Thinking of the Independent Regiment, Zhou Weiguo suddenly had an idea. The Independent Regiment was a soldier brought out by the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, they would definitely come up with a perfect strategy.
Of course, this is all Zhou Weiguo's own obscenity, because if everyone in the independent group is a Dragon Boat Festival, then the little devil may not be able to reach Nanjing.
However, Zhou Weiguo grasped the last straw and sent an order: "Immediately send an order to the Independent Regiment and ask them to find a way to delay the attack of the enemy's artillery and infantry. I don't care what method they use. If they want people, I will give them to them, and if they want guns, I will give them to them."
I'll give you a gun, if you want a cannon, I'll give you a cannon, go!..."
