At around five o'clock, after the new round of shelling by the Xuebing Army stopped, there was a brief calm on the Aoshui battlefield. It was already dark. Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing took telescopes to observe the other side for a while. The former frowned and said : "Commander Shan said that the Japanese 4th Division is a rat army, and its ability to dig holes is second-rate to others. How come the Koreans also have this ability?"
No wonder Jiang Guangnai said this. After two rounds of heavy artillery bombardment for an hour, the defensive positions on the east bank were not completely destroyed. This was beyond their expectation.
"The commander-in-chief's prediction is accurate. It seems that the only option is to dispatch fire-breathing ships." Liu Yuqing said,
"But the artillery on the other side hasn't appeared yet. If the artillery on the other side is controlled by the Japanese, what will happen if they come to launch indiscriminate bombardment? We only have so many flamethrowers. If they are all destroyed in one battle, how will we fight next? "
"Then let's attack hard. It's not like we haven't fought hard battles before. Even though the Koreans seemed very tough at first, can they still be stronger than the little Japanese?"
"Let's have another exploratory attack and dispatch two regiments."
"yes."
While Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing were feeling helpless and unwilling that the heavy artillery had failed to completely destroy the southeastern defensive positions, their North Korean opponents, a lieutenant general named Song Yunguang and two major generals named Cui Linxin and Pu Xingan, were also anxious. Jiang and Liu were not satisfied with the power of their heavy artillery. However, in the eyes of the Koreans, this was no longer something they could bear.
"This is not possible. I only have 2,000 people on hand, and half of them are auxiliary troops. If there is another round of shelling, I will have to lead the guard troops to fill in the troops myself." Cui Linxin said worriedly,
Pu Xing'an: "We came to China expecting to make a fortune, but we were actually sent to fight against the student army. Even the Japanese can't defeat the student army, let alone us."
Song Yunguang sneered and said: "You have just realized it now. When we fought against the Xuebing Army for the first time, I saw that the Japanese sent us to China just to be cannon fodder."
"Mr. Song, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Pu Xingan's two small glasses swiveled for a while, and then he lowered his voice and said,
Song Yunguang and Cui Linxin had obviously guessed what he wanted to say, and raised their eyebrows at the same time. The former said: "Don't say nonsense, it's not the last moment yet."
"But when it comes to the last moment, do we still have the capital to negotiate with the Chinese?"
Cui Linxin looked at Song Yunguang and said, "I listen to Mr. Song, he is the eldest brother."
Song Yunguang was deep in thought when suddenly a "report" sounded outside, and then a staff officer hurriedly walked in and said: "Sir, the Xuebing Army has launched a general offensive."
"What." Song Yunguang immediately stood up and walked outside.
Several people climbed up to the ground, and under the protection of the guards looked towards the river with binoculars. They saw hundreds of rafts carrying thousands of students rushing over. Song Yunguang's eyebrows jumped and he said: "There is no other way, we can only continue to fill in the river." .”
A new round of offensive and defensive battles began. Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing saw that the defenders' firepower was first sparse and then dense. Knowing that the North Koreans had added fresh troops, they had no choice but to order the offensive troops to retreat again, and then said to Liu Yuqing: "Listen to you, Send out the fire-breathing ship first."
"Let's do another round of shelling." Liu Yuqing suggested,
"Yes, but the time is shortened to a quarter of an hour. In the last five minutes, let them shoot deep."
The Spitfire Troops of the 10th Xuexue Division were commanded by Chang Zhilin, the commander of the 307th Tank Regiment. Five minutes after the bombardment started, Chang Zhilin had just led his troops to prepare for the attack. Liu Yuqing called them and asked them to cancel the operation and prepare for the attack. Covert work, because the Fuding radar station discovered that a cluster of Japanese aircraft was flying towards the battlefield.
There were a total of twenty-four incoming Japanese aircraft, all of which were fighter jets. Among them, the Inoue Fighter Group was equipped with Zeros.
The confrontation between the Japanese aviation force headed by Ken Inoue in Ningbo and the student aviation force headed by Xue Changkong in Nanping has happened not once or twice, but because the Ningbo Air Force Base suddenly accepted a zero battle with a brigade, the Japanese aviation force in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou The aviation force is different. Ken Inoue this time did not bring bombers but only fighter jets to support the Aoshui battlefield. The purpose was to defeat the Nanping Academy Aviation Army and avenge the shame of the past. He would use a hearty victory to boost the morale of the existing army and at the same time give the Academy Army heavy blow,
Before the radar at Fuding Radar Station could determine the type of aircraft attacking Japan, Xue Changkong did not take the attacking enemy aircraft seriously. In every previous confrontation between the two sides, the Japanese army was defeated and fled first, because With this confidence, before boarding the plane, Xue Changkong jokingly said to his brothers: "I hope the little devil can come up with some new tricks this time."
Because he was unsure of the type of incoming enemy aircraft and was worried about being bombed by heavy aerial bombs, Jiang Guangnai ordered the bombing to stop only ten minutes after the third round of bombardment, and also ordered all troops to prepare for air defense.
Twenty minutes later, the air battle began over Aoshui.
The Baiji piloted by Xue Changkong served as the command aircraft. Ten minutes before the exchange of fire between the two fleets, he used the airborne radar to determine the specific model of the incoming enemy aircraft. When he discovered that there was a zero battle specifically mentioned by the commander-in-chief, and as many as At the time of the twelve fights, he immediately guessed Inoue Ken's intention and couldn't help but become extremely excited: "Brothers, let me tell you some good news. The little devil will definitely fight with us this time. Hehe, prepare to fight hard. If If you want to become an ace pilot, you have to look at today."
Then he adjusted the channel, called the Nanping Base, and after talking to Zhang Xiaolin, the commander of the First Air Division of the Fujian Police Force, he said hurriedly: "Xiao Zhang, stop complaining, I'll give you a chance."
As the top commander of the Fuding Police Aviation Force, Xue Changkong should be responsible for staying on the ground and commanding the overall situation. However, this guy got itchy all over without flying a plane for a day, so when he received the alert from the Fuding Radar Station, he suddenly used his power. He ordered Zhang Xiaolin to stay behind, but he took Zhang Xiaolin's place and flew to heaven to enjoy himself.
Zhang Xiaolin thought that he was in a mood today because he was the first-level official. When he received the call, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and replied angrily: "Say it quickly."
Time was running out, and Xue Changkong did not dare to lie, and said directly: "The incoming enemy planes are all fighter jets, including twelve Zeros. You lead a brigade over the sea. Grandma, this time Ken Inoue will never come back. "
"Okay, great, specific directions."
"You fly directly to Taizhou and head north from there. That's it. I'm going to command the battle."
While Xue Changkong and Zhang Xiaolin were discussing how to wipe out the incoming Japanese planes, Inoue Ken was also giving instructions to his subordinates through the walkie-talkie. Ever since the twelve Zeros were delivered to the Ningbo Air Force Base, the little Japanese was thinking about it. How to surprise Xue Changkong in future air battles, so a targeted drill was conducted with a Zero and a New Type 99 or New Falcon, using the New Type 99 and the New Falcon as bait. In his opinion, as long as the wingmen perform bravely enough, even if they cannot severely damage Xue Changkong's department, exchanging one for one will definitely not be a problem. As long as this result is achieved, the empire will be far stronger than the student army. fighter production capacity, then his invention of this tactic is tantamount to catching the Achilles' heel of the aviation force of the Xuebing Army. If things go on like this, they will definitely be killed.
