After getting along with each other for a long time, the Eighth Route Army pilots became accustomed to the way David and Xue Junmin spoke. They knew that when the work started, they started to attack, and when the work ended, they started to return.
After Xue Junmin gave the order, he pressed the nose of the plane and dived directly towards the yellow team of little Japs on the battlefield.
The First Division of the Japanese Army was historically known as the "Kuo Shao" in the Japanese Army. Because the soldiers were all from Tokyo, this unit was also called the Tokyo Division. Before and after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the First Division was stationed in the Northeast for a long time, sitting on the Japanese "
The First Division enjoyed the best equipment and supplies, but rarely went to war. It was not until November 1944, at the end of the Pacific War, that the First Division was transferred from North Manchuria to the Pacific battlefield and was beaten by the US military.
There was a ruckus.
The reason why the First Division has not participated in major battles for a long time in history is, if nothing else, the vanity of the Japanese. They were afraid that after the First Division suffered a defeat in battle, countries around the world would look down on the Japanese army. Because the First Division
After all, the group has the title of "first".
Now history has changed. Due to the performance of its instructors, the First Division can no longer live comfortably in the Northeast and has to be ordered to enter the border to join the war.
The establishment of the First Division is the largest among the Japanese divisions. Its cavalry and artillery are both brigade organizations, each with three regiments. However, the cavalry brigade and the artillery brigade both have two regiments.
The regiment performed garrison duties on the mainland, and the First Division that went to the Chinese battlefield only had one cavalry regiment and one artillery regiment.
This time the Japanese army carried out a large-scale sweep. The commander of the Japanese army on the northern front was Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, the former chief of staff of the North China Front and current commander of the First Division. Naosaburo Okabe was commanded by Dexian County, the former enemy of the First Division.
The command task was handed over to the commander of the first brigade.
After accepting the outflanking mission, the First Division moved quickly, moving along the north side of the Eighth Route Army's blocking force, and soon cut off the connection between the New Sixth Brigade and the Hebei-Shandong border base area. At this moment, the First Division's forward, the First Infantry Brigade
The First Regiment is storming the defense line of the New 6th Brigade and the New 16th Regiment, which has rushed to block the attack.
Behind the First Regiment, all units of the huge First Division were taking action, and the New 16th Regiment was about to be submerged in the stormy waves of the First Division's all-out attack.
Xue Junmin and the others attacked the First Regiment first.
As the first regiment in the Japanese army's establishment sequence, the First Regiment was naturally full of arrogance. As soon as it entered the battle, the First Regiment came up with the Japanese army's favorite attack tactic, which was to concentrate the regiment's artillery and use the battalion's artillery wildly.
There was a blast, and then there was a squadron-sized attack. I saw the little Japanese infantry in small units, under the cover of grenades and machine guns, attacking forward, and they fought in a methodical manner. Unfortunately, what they faced was the Eighth Route Army, and the tentativeness of a squadron
The attack failed quickly. However, the First Regiment was the First Regiment after all. The infantry squadron that failed in the attack did not withdraw from the battle. Instead, it lay down on the spot and quickly established grenade and machine gun positions to confront the Eighth Route Army.
He wanted to use grenades to blow the Eighth Route Army out of their bunkers, and then use machine guns and rifles to eliminate them.
Originally, the Japanese army's squadron-scale attack could continue for a while and bring out all the Eighth Route Army's firepower deployment. But the Japanese commander couldn't wait any longer. What he wanted was the speed of the attack, and what he wanted was to get to the Luokou Yellow River Iron Bridge as soon as possible and occupy the iron bridge.
Bridge, completely blocking the retreat route of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an. However, the First Division was the First Division, and Kuo Shao was used to it, and even fought lavishly. After the squadron-scale exploratory attack was over, the Japanese commander immediately called the aviation force
dispatched, eight bombers providing air cover for the Japanese attack, escorted by four fighter jets, flew over the New 16th Regiment's position shrouded in smoke and wreaked havoc, turning the New 16th Regiment's position into a sea of flames.
The New 16th Regiment is the New Sixth Regiment of the Sixth Brigade of the Original Religion. This regiment was established in Taiyuan, Shanxi. The soldiers are basically passionate young people who joined the army in Shanxi. Shanxi people are smart in business and are equally smart in fighting. After more than a year of battlefield training,
These children of the Three Jin Dynasties have become old Eighth Route Army soldiers who are good at conquering and fighting.
Faced with the tyranny of the Japanese planes, the New 16th Regiment fought back and organized air-to-air shooting. The soldiers set up light and heavy machine guns in platoon units. All rifle shooters also relied on bunkers to fire in the air, forming one fire circle after another. Finally,
After knocking down a bomber, the Japanese plane pulled up high and flew towards the Yellow River Iron Bridge without daring to continue any diving and strafing.
Although there was smoke cover, although there were positions to support, and although anti-aircraft shooting was organized, the bombing by Japanese planes still caused heavy casualties to the New 16th Regiment. The health workers were busy bandaging the wounded, and the stretcher team carried the seriously wounded and quickly retreated.
After the Japanese bombing, the captain of the 1st Regiment immediately adjusted his deployment, used tanks and armored vehicles as cover, divided the three infantry brigades into three attack waves, and launched a fierce attack on the New 16th Regiment.
At this moment, Xue Junmin and his comrades fell from the sky.
Seeing the fighter planes leaving and returning, the soldiers of the first wing thought that their planes were coming to assist the battle again, and they became arrogant. The little Japanese who were responsible for the second and third wave of attack missions actually stopped advancing and straightened up.
He raised his hands and cheered long live the emperor, imagining relying on aviation to destroy the blocking Eighth Route Army.
A sudden change occurred. The swooping fighter planes passed by the Eighth Route Army position and opened fire on the First Regiment.
The most exciting thing was the Japanese infantry brigade that was responsible for the first wave of attacks. Since there was no order to stop the attack, the 1,100 little Japanese in this brigade had to follow the tanks and continue the attack. However, they did not want to miss the opportunity to shout "Long Live the Emperor" and followed.
Behind the tank, while maintaining the offensive formation, they shouted long live the emperor. It was a bit like playing monkey! Now, the Eighth Route Army is playing monkey. The more the monkey jumps around, the happier the monkey player is. The more the airborne machine gun fires
The joy was real, machine gun bullets blew through the brigade's attack formation like wind. The Japs' attack formation was like the clothes in the hands of village women washing clothes by the river, being shot back and forth.
*** coming and going, swaying here and there, very beautiful.
Those Japanese soldiers who were responsible for the second and third wave of attacks and stood and cheered at the back could never have imagined that before the shouts of "Long Live the Emperor" could be heard, the fighter planes produced by His Majesty the Emperor would come to harvest their lives. Many people
He fell to the ground with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if he wanted to seek justice from God, asking why His Majesty's fighter planes were still attacking them after they had shouted "Long Live the Emperor."
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the New 16th Regiment saw that its fighters were coming for reinforcements, and immediately blew the charge horn. The soldiers rushed out of the position with light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles, shooting and dropping bombs. They wanted to help me.
The offensive of military fighter planes completely wiped out the first regiment of the first brigade of the first division.
Unlike Feng Dafei, who was eager to blow up the artillery positions of the Second Division and eliminate the tanks and armored vehicles of the Second Division, Xue Junmin was a young overseas Chinese pilot after all. He did not have the commanding ability and tactical vision that Feng Dafei had developed during his many years of military service.
When the New 16th Regiment rushed out of the position, Xue Junmin actually ordered the formation to attack continuously above the head of the First Regiment. Wherever the Japs resisted, the Eighth Route Army fighter planes flew to that place. Wherever the Japs gathered, the Eighth Route Army fighter planes dropped bombs and strafed them.
At this time, the mighty First Regiment couldn't hold on any longer. They didn't even have a chance to take cover or evacuate, let alone withstand the charge of the Eighth Route Army. From officers to soldiers, they all forgot their oath to fill the ravines and seas with corpses.
, turned into a rout of troops eager to escape. Even the few surviving Japanese tanks turned their defense lines and began to retreat in a hurry.
The 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, the oldest unit of the Japanese Army, under the double blow of the Eighth Route Army aircraft and ground forces, turned out to be a unit worse than bandits, like a group of rabbits, in the winter
A backwards race began on the field.
It wasn't until the main force of the 1st Division caught up and started firing into the air with anti-aircraft fire that the New 16th Regiment stopped pursuing, picked up the weapons and ammunition next to the little Japanese's body, and quickly returned to their position to hold on.
After defeating the First Regiment, Xue Junmin led the formation to face the main force of the First Division. However, by this time the main force of the First Division was ready, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and the Japanese fighter group that received the report had also
Rushing to the battlefield quickly, David kept urging the bombers to return through the airborne radio. Seeing that the fighter plane had been lost, Xue Junmin realized that he had made a mistake and violated the combat plan, so he had to order the formation to quickly move up and return to 5,500 meters.
height, implement the second set of combat plans, and go to the Feicheng area to bomb the Japanese 14th Division.
After issuing the order, Xue Junmin Tonggu airborne radio reported the situation to Feng Dafei and David.
After David led the fighter formation to the battlefield, he first targeted the Japanese planes that were attacking the Eighth Route Army positions.
David had already retired when he was in the United States, and he was caught up in the Great Depression of the economic crisis, which made him unemployed. After being recruited to China by Ni Hua, he found a place to use his skills. Not only did he solve the work problem, but he also cultivated
An aviation team that has repeatedly achieved miracles, I feel a sense of accomplishment. In addition, Liu Yimin also found a beautiful woman for him, which made David feel dizzy. Especially after returning to Shandong, working and fighting under Liu Yimin, Dai Wei
Wei was in a better mood. Before getting on the plane, he was still whistling!
Compared with Feng Dafei, David's tactics are more flexible. Compared with Xue Junmin, David is much more sophisticated and ruthless.
David's first target was the Japanese bomber formation that was chasing the Eighth Route Army retreating from Yucheng. The Japanese planes had a total of eight fighters and 10 bombers. The bombers chased the Eighth Route Army retreating along the trenches, dropping bombs and diving and strafing wildly.
Extremely awesome! Eight fighter jets were on alert at an altitude of 3,200 meters.
The fighter formation led by David has three squadrons and thirty fighters, and it has an absolute advantage at this moment.
This is how fighting is. The enemy may have an absolute advantage overall, but our army may have an advantage in a local area. As an excellent commander, what you seek is to create this kind of local advantage, eliminate the enemies one by one, and continue to strengthen yourself until you finally develop.
To achieve comprehensive superiority, we will win the war in an all-round way.
David's order was simple: "Squadron One and Squadron Two will fight the Yellow Monkey fighter jets, and Squadron Three will fight the Yellow Monkey bombers. Boys, this is your chance to make a fortune, start attacking!"
How could the little Japanese pilot know that in David's eyes, they were equal to colorful dollars and fair and tender Yamato beauties, so he kissed them!
For air combat, the so-called seizing a favorable position mainly refers to altitude. Altitude determines the initiative and determines life or death.
David and the others emerged from the clouds at an altitude of 5,500 meters. After discovering the Japanese aircraft, they continued to descend until they reached a position where they could launch an attack. David blew a cheerful whistle into the throat microphone, pushed the nose of the aircraft, and automatically
He fired from top to bottom at the back of a Japanese fighter jet.
In fact, when David and others launched the attack, the Japanese planes had already discovered the incoming Eighth Route Army fighter planes. The Japanese commander who led the group immediately ordered to seize a favorable position, cover the bombers' retreat, and reported their position and coordinates to the airport, requesting an emergency
reinforce.
The little Japanese commander discovered it too late. It was an airplane. It was traveling so fast. Before the Japanese commander could finish his report, David and the others had already opened fire.
Da da da, da da da, David's onboard machine gun screamed happily and hit a string of bullets on the back of the little Japanese fighter jet, which actually broke the Japanese fighter jet into two pieces. David shook his head, Huang
The monkey's plane is so flimsy!
After killing a Japanese fighter jet, David took a look and saw that the Little Japanese fighter jet was pulling up. At this time, David remembered that Liu Yimin had talked to him about the tactics of the Chinese Air Force warriors. Without any hesitation, he also pulled up ***
The longitudinal control and the nose of the plane were raised high, chasing a Japanese plane that was being pulled up. Just when it was about to pass through the belly of the Japanese plane, David opened fire, and the bullet entered from the belly of the Japanese plane, hitting the
On the fuel tank, a fireball burst out in the air, and the Japanese fighter jet exploded in the air.
By this time, David was no longer chasing the Japanese fighter planes because the Japanese bombers were desperately fleeing.
At this point in the air battle, there was no longer any suspense. Thirty fighter jets of the Eighth Route Army faced off against eight fighter jets and ten bombers of the Little Japanese. Everyone knew what the result would be. However, the Japanese planes were still very cunning, and the bombers were
Under siege by Eighth Route Army fighter jets, two actually escaped.
David and his formation were chasing Japanese bombers, and the alert pilots reported that a large number of Japanese fighter jets were coming towards the battlefield.
David knew that it was the Eighth Route Army pilots who understood Japanese and intercepted the Japanese aircraft's contact information from the recorded radio station. David immediately called Feng Dafei and Xue Junmin to notify the bomber formation to return home quickly. He led the fighter formation to stop chasing the escaping Japanese bombers.
, quickly pulled up, seized a favorable position, and prepared to meet the approaching Japanese fighter fleet.
The Japanese army aviation fighter jets in North China have now exceeded two flight groups, and the carrier-based aircraft of the combined naval fleet are also very powerful. Although the Japanese aircraft implement a tactic of continuously covering the offensive operations of ground troops, the fighter jets are launched in batches
During the battle, a large number of fighter jets stayed at the airport and aircraft carriers. However, the Japanese army attacked in three directions, and each division required fighter planes to provide air cover. As a result, the number of Japanese fighter jets stranded in the sky was still very large. As soon as the first division was received
According to reports from the Regiment, the Second Division and the formation under attack, Japanese fighter planes from the Eastern Front, Northern Front, and Southern Front were all rushing towards the Yucheng battlefield. The purpose was naturally to intercept the Eighth Route Army fighter planes and destroy them.
