"Baga...how could this happen..."
The captain noticed something was wrong before he even started attacking, frowned and muttered to himself.
"Why does the Eighth Route Army still have such fierce anti-aircraft firepower?"
"team leader……"
At the same time, a report from a squadron leader under his command came over the radio.
"The anti-aircraft firepower fired from the ground was stronger than before. The Eighth Route Army must have hidden its strength in the battle just now. We were fooled!"
The captain was convinced and ordered: "Even if you are fooled, you must continue to attack the ground... Otherwise, the fighter planes just lost will be in vain..."
"While the ground anti-aircraft firepower was disrupted by us, we continued to attack the Eighth Route Army on the ground."
"His Excellency the Commander has issued a strict order: The aviation brigade will paralyze the independent regiment's convoy at all costs and prevent them from returning to the base in the wing..."
"Continue to attack..."
"Drop the aerial bombs you brought on the Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible."
After saying that, he also flew the fighter plane towards the ground.
"Weng buzz..."
The roar of the engine kept ringing in his ears, getting louder and louder... which meant that the aircraft's horsepower had been increased to the maximum.
Keep your eyes straight ahead, hold the aircraft control stick tightly with both hands, constantly adjust the dive angle of the aircraft, avoid the air defense firepower network of the Eighth Route Army on the ground directed at you, and at the same time aim at an air defense position where you are about to launch an attack.
When there were still one or two hundred meters from the ground, he decisively pressed the bomb release button, pulled the aircraft control lever at the same time, piloted the aircraft to climb at super high altitude, and rushed out of the air defense fire network as quickly as possible...
The captain was very lucky. Apart from two rows of holes in the wings of the aircraft, the fighter plane did not suffer any fatal damage.
After climbing to a high altitude and only circling in a circle, the captain set his sights on the Eighth Route Army's second air defense position.
The deafening roar of the engine rang in my ears again...
"boom……"
An anti-aircraft shell suddenly exploded directly in front of the fuselage, black smoke spread, and dozens of shell fragments flew around at extremely high speeds.
One of the fragments just penetrated the engine.
A plume of black smoke came out of the engine at the same time, and the fuselage began to swing uncontrollably in the air.
The captain's face suddenly turned pale, and he clenched the control stick desperately, trying to stop the plane from vibrating, but to no avail.
"Bang bang bang..."
A string of metal collisions reached the captain's ears again, and several anti-aircraft machine gun bullets roared towards him, making close contact with the fuselage.
A bullet hit the windshield, instantly punching a hole in it, entering the cabin and hitting the captain's shoulder blade.
The powerful lethality directly tore half of the captain's shoulder open, and blood spattered everywhere...
"Baga...ah..."
Screams immediately came from the captain's mouth. His right hand was weak due to a shoulder injury, and he was left with only his left hand to operate the aircraft.
"boom……"
The Japanese captain was obviously targeted by ground anti-aircraft artillery.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
He planned to take advantage of the black smoke from the aircraft engine to destroy him in one fell swoop.
A second anti-aircraft shell exploded again, closer to the aircraft than the previous one.
The plane that was just emitting black smoke suddenly stalled during the explosion.
Faced with this situation, I couldn't save the captain even if I came, I could only watch my car crash to the ground.
…………
Seeing more than 20 Japs flying overhead attacking the ground together, Huang Yu was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his back.
There are too many Japanese planes, but there are only twenty air defense positions. If you can defend against this, you can't defend against that.
Every time I hear an aerial bomb landing and exploding, my heart feels like a knife has been stabbed, and I can't help but feel pain.
The fists were kept clenched.
"Good fight...the air defense force took down another plane..." Wei Dayong was so excited that he jumped up from the ground when he saw the Japanese captain's car crashing into the hilltop and exploding.
Tan Keqiang suddenly said: "Commander...the little Japanese plane is about to retreat..."
"Their time in the air is limited. If they don't leave, they won't be able to fly back to the airport!"
Huang Yu ordered with a stern face: "Let the air defense troops seize the time and try to knock down two more planes..."
Five minutes later, the battlefield completely returned to tranquility. All aircraft that were not destroyed retreated and disappeared from the battlefield.
Hundreds of soldiers from the assault battalion shuttled back and forth between various air defense positions, rescuing the wounded...
There was a busy scene everywhere.
I don't know how long it took, but Air Defense Battalion Commander Tan Keqiang returned to Huang Yu with his head lowered: "Captain..."
"The battle losses have been calculated..."
"There are a total of twenty air defense positions, and only five of them have not been attacked."
"Six of the air defense positions were hit by aerial bombs and suffered devastating blows. Not a single soldier came back to repair them."
"The remaining nine air defense positions were severely damaged, with more than 40% casualties and 50% equipment losses."
Huang Yu had expected this result.
In the air defense battle just now, at least thirty aerial bombs fell on various air defense positions. On average, two air defense positions could receive three aerial bombs.
The loss must be great.
But after hearing the casualty data, Huang Yu was still so frightened that he didn't say a word for a long time.
After calming down, he stared at Tan Keqiang and asked: "How many planes have the troops taken down in total?"
Speaking of the results, Tan Keqiang seemed to be a different person, and said with a proud face: "19 aircraft were destroyed, seven aircraft were damaged, and only ten aircraft left the battle intact."
"There must be many of those damaged planes that couldn't make it to the airport."
"I estimate that Zanggaoning Village Neji lost at least twenty-five planes this time!"
Huang Yu's face became obviously brighter and he looked at the burning wreckage of the plane not far away.
"Kill two squadrons of Japs in one battle."
"Even if Okamura Neji's family has a great business, these losses will make him feel heartbroken for a while.
"It can also deter the Japanese aviation troops to a great extent, so that they will not dare to attack us unscrupulously like just now..."
Wei Dayong then rushed over and reported hesitantly: "Captain..."
"The team's losses have been calculated..."
"31 transport vehicles were destroyed in the air strike. Most of the weapons, ammunition and military equipment carried on the vehicles were destroyed, with less than 30% saved."
"Fortunately, the driver and co-pilot evacuated the transport vehicle in advance, otherwise we would have lost dozens of precious drivers."
Huang Yu was very heartbroken, but he didn't show it. He looked at Wei Dayong and started giving orders!
"Immediately distribute the good equipment on the blown-up car and the weapons and ammunition that were not destroyed to other transport vehicles."
"We'll leave in twenty minutes..."
"The air defense battalion immediately cleaned the battlefield and prepared to assemble for retreat..."
"Okamura Neiji lost more than 20 planes at once. It will definitely take time to digest this bad news. He should not send planes to bomb us in the short term."
"The troops must seize the time and walk more. We will be safe when we return to the base area."
