As soon as the sound of fighter plane engines reverberated in the mountains and fields, a sharp siren immediately sounded from the advancing Japanese troops. When the siren sounded, the Japanese soldiers immediately rushed to the mountain roadside, got into thatch piles, or hid under the trees. At the same time, Takahashi Tagaji was also asked to get out of the armored vehicle and was surrounded by a group of guards under a nearby raised rock. Once, the 3rd Division used this method to avoid the reconnaissance of the cadet army. Several reconnaissance attempts were made by the plane, but this time it failed.
The Xuebing Army Air Force stationed at Ganzhou Airport is the newly formed Ganzhou Aviation Regiment. It has a strengthened fighter division and a strengthened long-range aviation division. When the Xuebing Army Air Force was first established, Ouyang Yun wanted to allow the limited air force to take on more important tasks. Multiple battlefields, and in order to train more commanders, a compact organization is adopted. The fighter division-level unit is actually equivalent to a brigade in the international organization. This organization method once provided the New Year strategy for the Xuebing Army to win twice. However, in the Hangzhou Bay air battle, its shortcomings of insufficient escort fighters were highlighted. In addition, the Xuebing Army's aircraft industry had matured and more than five fighter jets could be guaranteed to roll off the assembly line every day. Therefore, the expansion of the fighter division was was put on the agenda. The establishment of the Ganzhou Aviation Corps came at a very good time, and it happened to catch the expansion train. Therefore, although it is said that it only has one reinforced fighter division and one reinforced long-range aviation division, it is actually equivalent to the previous four. A fighter division and two long-range aviation divisions. You know, this is a huge fleet of nearly 400 aircraft.
The commander of the Ganzhou Aviation Corps is Zhang Xiaolin, who was transferred from the Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps. Zhang Xiaolin attached great importance to this air raid mission and personally flew an air fortress early warning aircraft to command the operation. In order to ensure that one strike could paralyze the 3rd Division for more than three points. With a combat power of one, he dispatched a total of six brigades of Baiji dolphins and three brigades of flying fortresses.
The failure of the Hangzhou Bay air battle was a shame for the airmen of the Xuebing Army. As a result, Tielin Fei was demoted, and all the rewards originally approved by others were canceled. This deeply disturbed Zhang Xiaolin, who had personally participated in this air battle. He had been holding back his anger. After taking office as the commander of the Ganzhou Aviation Corps, he always wanted to avenge his previous shame, so he allowed his subordinates to bombard the Japanese army and Japanese military strategic locations everywhere in order to force out the Japanese aviation units and regain the situation. ,
The pilot's report came over the phone: "Head Wolf reported that it arrived in the designated airspace and no target was found."
Zhang Xiaolin had heard too many reports like this, and the anger in his heart suddenly boiled up, and he said sternly: "Lower the flight altitude and search carefully."
"Yes." The navigator replied, and then the dolphin at the front of the fleet roared towards the mountains.
Watching the Baiji dive downwards, Zhang Xiaolin said to the communications soldier behind him: "Commander Chi, ask him about the location of the ambush troops. TMD, I don't know what Commander He thought. He actually agreed to use guerrilla troops to ambush the Japanese elite division. , these mud-legged people may not even know how to lie down to avoid the bombing."
A large group of black dots flew in from the south, and the roar of fighter jet engines filled his eardrums, making Cai Duliang's heartbeat speed up a lot. "Blow him up, bomb him NND." He roared in his heart. However, the small black dots He turned into a goshawk, but the bombing did not happen. He was depressed. When he took a closer look at the mountain road, he was furious and blurted out: "NND, the little devil is too cunning."
There was no one on the mountain road, and the Japanese cavalry who had been showing off just now, including their men and horses, had disappeared into the grass and woods beside the mountain road. The Japanese soldiers had obviously gained experience in dodging bombings, and they actually carried with them something made of thatched grass. Various disguises, but what drove Cai Duliang crazy was that those Oriental horses were actually covered in mud and covered with thatch raincoats. Not to mention a bird's-eye view from the air from a height of more than a thousand meters, even from more than a hundred meters away He wouldn't be able to identify it if he didn't look carefully at a distance of 3 meters.
"Boss, should we give the air brothers a heads-up?" Cai Duliang said to Liu Sanfu,
There were sparks in Liu Sanfu's eyes, but his tone was very calm: "The commander will report it."
"Then why don't you blow it up? NND, I'm so scared to death."
"Just lie down. The artillery, heavy equipment and aviation units are the targets of the first round of bombing. The Japanese cavalry are so close to us. They will accidentally bomb us. Are our air force brothers so stupid?"
Cai was speechless.
Takahashi Tagaji made sufficient preparations to avoid the reconnaissance of the Gakuin Army fighter planes, but this time because they were locked in position first, all his preparations were destined to be in vain.
The navigator of the Ganzhou Aviation Force's attack force is a local from Sandu Town. He is very familiar with the terrain of this generation and knows where this mountain road is best for hiding troops. The 3rd Division has a regiment of field artillery under its command. Although the Japs are These 75 mm caliber cannons were camouflaged, but the traces could not be completely eliminated. Therefore, only about five minutes had passed since Zhang Xiaolin's new order was issued, and he found the section of the road where the Japanese artillery was located.
"The leader reported that a suspicious target was found, suspected to be the enemy's artillery unit."
Zhang Xiaolin's gloomy expression suddenly brightened up, and he said loudly: "Xue Mengsi, I'll leave it to your team." He then said: "Head wolf, please contact the ground and don't accidentally blow up one of your own people."
"Received." "Original Wolf received."
After the formation of the Xuebing Army Air Force was expanded, one brigade of the long-range aviation force increased to eighteen Aerial Fortresses. The fighter divisions and long-range aviation divisions under Zhang Xiaolin were both strengthened. There were four squadrons in one brigade, and there were as many as twenty-four Aerial Fortresses. Xue Mengsi is actually the commander of the 802 Long Range Aviation Division. However, Zhang Xiaolin personally commanded the battle. He was invisibly demoted one level. The only troops he could directly command were only one brigade.
The navigator pointed out the target location and confirmed that there was no ambush force nearby. Xue Mengsi let go and ordered a squadron of six air fortresses to carry out the first round of bombing.
The six air fortresses lined up in a straight line, lowered their altitude to about three thousand meters, flew over the target area under the leadership of the pilot aircraft, and dropped bombs one after another.
Dense black dots smashed down from the sky. The guerrillas who saw this scene for the first time from a distance were all horrified. Cai Duliang also saw it for the first time. His eyes immediately stopped turning and he murmured. : "Hey, boom, boom, how many bombs are needed? That mountain won't be flattened."
"Get down, the fun is yet to come." Liu Sanfu finally became excited, pressed Cai Duliang's head, and said loudly in his ear,
Just when Cai Duliang was sighing, explosions were heard one after another, and then, countless figures suddenly appeared in the mountains and fields on both sides of the deserted mountain road.
Six flying fortresses dropped nearly 60 tons of bombs in a few minutes. How could this be endured by a regiment of field artillery units?
Takahashi Tagaji's position was about two kilometers away from the field artillery unit. He looked at the fireworks rising there, listened to the continuous explosions and the miserable howls from the explosions, and his expression changed instantly. He was so pale that his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand.
