At this moment, at an altitude of about two thousand meters, two bomber squadrons had entered the territory of Fujian Province.
Fujian Province has the most rugged terrains such as mountains and hills among the coastal areas of China. 85% of the province is covered by low mountains and hills.
On the pilot bomber, the bomber commander in the cabin looked through the glass bottom hatch at the winding, majestic and strange mountains in the distance, covered with green vegetation such as broad-leaved forests. These mountains are stacked together and there is nothing conspicuous about them. Without reference objects, it is really difficult to find the bombing target.
The navigator captured the radio beacon signal set up on the ground through the SN-2 guidance radar and quickly reported, "Radio beacon received."
"Roger, communicator, you use the high-frequency communicator to quickly contact the ground coordination troops!"
After the commander finished speaking, he turned on the G16 radio communicator to issue orders to the fleet, "The entire team followed our H026 pilot aircraft. After arriving at the target area, they quickly dispersed and launched tactical bombing against the enemy!"
"Zi~ Got it!"
…
On the slopes outside Pucheng, the soldiers of the 5th and 17th Divisions have not been idle these days. With their hard work, in addition to trenches, many forts and gun towers have been erected on the forward positions.
Even on the low mountains on both sides of Pucheng, sparse defense lines were built relying on dense forests.
Of course, the current strength of the Zhili Army is mainly deployed outside Pucheng. Two garrison brigades are responsible for the low mountains, and there are about 6,000 reserve troops in Pucheng.
A soldier of the Zhili Army looked at the sky in the distance boredly, and suddenly found that the sky was completely dark, "Company Commander, look at it, there is a big magical bird in the sky!"
"What a magical bird, Wang Heigou, you know how to confuse people with your lies, let me see." The company commander in the soldier's mouth threw away his cigarette, walked out of the fortress, looked up and almost urinated, "Then what the hell is Wei?" Aircraft of the national army!”
"I'm flying a lot of planes, the Patriot Army's air raid is coming! Brothers, hurry up and take cover!"
The roar of engines got closer and closer, and several bombers flew over at low altitude. Tens of thousands of Zhizhi soldiers were so frightened that they turned into birds and beasts and fled in all directions. They hurriedly searched for the few artillery holes, and then squeezed into them and shivered!
The bomber commander looked at the winding positions, artillery towers, and Pucheng not far away on the mountainous plain below, and his face was filled with joy. "Spread out immediately and take turns to bomb the enemy positions!"
The terrain is quite open, making it quite easy to carry out tactical bombing missions.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The 12 JU88 bombers broke away from the scattered fleet. The pilot pushed the control stick forward, and the bomb hatch and flaps on the belly of the aircraft opened. He dived past the position below him, "Kick! Kick! Kick!" "
Aerial bombs weighing 48 kilograms were quickly dispersed and dropped on this position. More than 300 aerial bombs were quickly detonated the moment they hit the ground.
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, hundreds of huge fireballs exploded on the battlefield. The explosion sounded like the roar of a giant beast, and the blazing flames were surging, as if they were going to devour the entire world.
The power of each aerial bomb explosion is comparable to a direct hit from a 155mm heavy artillery, and the damage range of shock waves and shrapnel is even slightly farther than that of a heavy artillery.
Some of the artillery-proof holes built by the Zhili Army on their positions were not reinforced with cement, so they could at most withstand bombardment from small-caliber artillery of less than 75 mm.
Wherever it could withstand the bombing of aerial bombs, the shock wave swept over with a devastating force, and many bomb-proof holes were collapsed by the shock wave of the explosion.
However, the density of bombing is still not enough. After all, these are not four-engine strategic bombers and their bomb load is limited.
Lu Xiaojia could actually use the B29 strategic bomber, but when he thought about dropping 450 tons of aerial bombs, there would probably not even be a few prisoners left.
In addition, it is better to be merciful when dealing with people of the same clan, so they dispatched twin-engine medium-range bombers.
After the bombing, there were surviving soldiers one after another, crawling out of the hot floating soil with disgraced faces.
They wiped the dirt off their faces and looked in shock at the twin-engine bombers hovering in the blue sky. They were already frightened.
"Help, mother!" A soldier was deafened by the explosion and was so frightened that he shit his pants.
"These iron birds of the Patriot Army are so terrifying that we can't defeat them at all!"
A full regiment of about 2,000 people lost more than 600 people in just the blink of an eye under the bombing, and its morale naturally suffered a huge blow.
The remaining soldiers looked at the devastated position in front of them, and heard tragic wails. Soldiers whose limbs had been blown off were everywhere, crying in pain.
When he turned around and looked at other positions in all directions, they were all shrouded in black figures.
They even watched helplessly as several turrets were instantly reduced to ashes in the flames under the power of bombers and with several loud noises of landslides and ground cracking.
"Run away, brothers!" Several soldiers decided to quit, abandoned Hanyang Zao decisively, crawled out of the bombed trench, and ran away in the distance.
"As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The best thing to do is to save your life!"
"Don't run, stop right away!" Several soldiers from the war team stood up unsteadily.
After wiping the blood from his forehead, he pulled out the C96 box gun pistol from his waist and shot several deserters on the spot with "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"No one is allowed to run away. You have to fulfill your obligations after receiving military pay. Deserters will be dealt with according to military law!"
The iron-blooded tactics of several soldiers from the supervising team temporarily curbed this wave of retreat.
At this moment, the deputy commander of the regiment, also wrapped in gauze, came to the forward position with his head covered.
"Brothers, go back to your respective positions immediately and start repair work. The Patriot Army is probably going to attack soon. Anyone who wins the battle will be rewarded!"
The deputy commander's words were of some use. The trembling soldiers came back to their senses a little. They returned to their respective positions in fear and began to modify the fortifications.
Not long after, 94 bombers took turns dropping 13 tons of aerial bombs on the direct army positions outside the city.
In fact, in just a few minutes, the entire bombing operation ended hastily. Naturally, the bomber squadron climbed up in tacit understanding and returned as planned.
They did not bomb Pucheng. It is best not to affect ordinary people when two warlords fight. This is the old rule of all Chinese warlords.
After all, these warlords in China are not crazy Fusang people. They have many rules when fighting. The battle areas between the two armies are chosen outside the sparsely populated city to avoid casualties of innocent people.
On the Pu city wall, Luo Wanshen, Zhang Boxi, and Jiang Yi looked at the grand scene outside the city in disbelief. A large number of soldiers were annihilated in the fire and smoke.
Then he turned around and looked blankly at the bombers high in the sky, which were quickly running away after dropping their bombs.
Luo Wanshen's eyes widened with anger, the veins on his arms were exposed, and he gritted his teeth angrily, "This damn broken plane, where did Lu Xiaojia get so many planes!"
The war supervisor took off his glasses and slapped himself twice. He very much doubted whether he was dreaming. "It's over. The Patriot Army's planes were too powerful. There's no way around this thing. They just ran away after they exploded."
In fact, the Army is not helpless against the Air Force. You only need to be equipped with a certain number of anti-aircraft artillery, machine guns, and machine guns.
These weapons had already appeared during this period, but it was obvious that Sun Chuanfang, a stingy guy, did not purchase these equipment.
After all, the current total number of aircraft in China has not exceeded 100. What kind of thing do you want to fly?
With this money, it is better to purchase more light and heavy machine guns and mountain cannons. China's warlords are now focusing on building a relatively cheap army. This has resulted in China's fatal shortcomings in the sea and air.
Zhang Boxi also said sadly: "What should we do, Deputy Luo? Looking at the formation of this explosion, the defenders on the position outside the city may have suffered huge casualties!"
Jiang Yi's face remained calm, but he already had the intention of retreating in his heart, "Deputy Luo, it seems that we can withstand a round of attacks by the National Guard Army. There are so many casualties outside the city, and the National Guard Army may launch an attack at any time." Attack, we'd better withdraw our troops and run away!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, the war supervisor was very unhappy, "Humph, no one is allowed to retreat. The casualties will be reviewed immediately and the reserve team will be sent forward!"
Seeing that the few people were unmoved, the war supervisor pulled out his pistol and threatened, "I order you to put the reserve team up immediately. Marshal Sun has already given the order. Regardless of success or failure, we must resist to the end!"
Zhang Boxi and Jiang Yi looked fierce. These soldiers were all trained by themselves. How could they all be buried here now?
However, the two finally chose to compromise. Sun Chuanfang had a favor for them. At worst, they could retire and become rich men after spending all their troops.
