"Damn it! Those two 40-caliber anti-aircraft guns also went out!"
Yu Xiaoqing, whose face was full of anger, couldn't help but punch the tree trunk. The miserable scene in the distance made him angry.
"Have you contacted Heltling yet!?" Liao Mingyu put down the telescope, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the commander, the telegram has been sent, and Colonel Hertelling replied that two fighter squadrons have been launched." The signal soldier replied immediately.
Hearing this, Liao Mingyu felt a little relieved. Hertelling's flight squadron is in Baoshan. If it takes off now, it can be over Zenda in less than 10 minutes.
The convoy was still two miles away from Zenda, and all the soldiers had already hid in the woods. All the trucks had also moved under the big trees on both sides of the road, and they were covered with branches and banana leaves to prevent them from being discovered by enemy planes.
Facing the indiscriminate bombing by the Japs, the three hundred or so of them were completely helpless. They could only watch the enemy planes wreak havoc above their heads, and had no other choice but to call for aircraft support.
The only good thing is that I didn't enter Zenda before the bombing started, otherwise I would have played into my heart.
Here there is a division chief of staff and a corps commander. If anything goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow to the two troops.
"Aren't those Americans with their noses in the air flying into the sky all day long? So many Japanese fighter planes didn't even notice that they were there. What on earth are they doing to eat!"
He Shuguang on the side was angrily complaining about Americans. He was glared at by Yu Xiaoqing before he closed his mouth angrily.
In fact, American reconnaissance planes patrol the sky almost every day, but I don't know why the Japanese didn't give any warning for such a big movement this time.
"It's probably because the little devil found out their patrol time."
Liao Mingyu's eyes showed a cold light, and he stared at Chanda filled with smoke in the distance and said slowly. In addition to this, the chaos and malfeasance of these two Chinese armies is the biggest reason.
This bombing operation by Little Japan was very successful. Several barracks around Zenda were engulfed in a sea of flames, and countless people were killed and injured.
The establishment of the 8th Army and the 6th Army suffered varying degrees of losses. Under the attack of the Japanese, it was difficult for them to even counterattack normally.
The ultimate reason is nothing more than a lack of air defense awareness and means. When many soldiers and officers were attacked, the first thing they thought about was not how to fight back, but to blend in with the crowd and run away.
Only a few people with backbone were still surrounding the few remaining anti-aircraft guns, trying hard to resist.
…
"Stop whining and whining there, get the fuck done for me!"
Mi Long raised his pistol and shouted loudly. After killing the major officer, he urged the deserters to take them back to the anti-aircraft artillery position.
Several deserters were frightened by the murderous dragon. Even a company commander would kill them if they asked. This was definitely not something ordinary people would dare to do. How could they dare to resist?
Except for the destroyed 40mm anti-aircraft gun, the other one was still standing intact. Milong was so angry. They clearly had anti-aircraft weapons and these bastards just wanted to escape. Do they deserve to be called soldiers?
"How are you going to play with this cannon? Let me use it quickly!"
The soldiers quickly started to operate. At this time, the enemy planes were still roaring in the sky, and there was not much resistance on the Zenda position.
The three Type 96 bombers had already dropped their aerial bombs and were preparing to return under the protection of several Falcons, but the remaining fighters had no intention of leaving.
There were not many anti-aircraft guns on the ground, but they also shot down 4 Japanese fighter planes. Although the Japs destroyed all these anti-aircraft guns, they did not want to give up.
In the sky, the six Falcons turned around again and continued to swoop and shoot at the crowds below. The soldiers and civilians who had lost the ability to fight back were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Two Falcons flew across the sky at low altitude, and the Japanese pilots were observing the situation below with great enthusiasm. They were still looking for any targets below that could be attacked.
"Touch! Touch! Touch! Touch..."
At this moment, a long string of artillery shells suddenly struck from behind. Before he could react, the exploding shrapnel hit the fuselage, and the plane instantly lost control and fell to the ground.
The wingman flying with the fighter plane was startled. The pilot immediately raised the control stick to avoid it, but the shell fired from the same direction bit him hard.
"Work harder! Don't let him get away!"
Mi Long shouted loudly next to the anti-aircraft gun. Although he could not operate the artillery, he also carried the ammunition box to help carry the shells.
boom!
In the end, the plane failed to escape the pursuit of the artillery shells. One of them directly hit the wing. The thin-skinned Falcon rolled down like a big bird with broken wings.
"Haha, that's right!"
Milong laughed happily and slapped a soldier on the back, causing the latter to almost stagger and fall to the ground.
The skills of these anti-aircraft soldiers were really good, and they successfully killed two birds in one shot.
It's just that they obviously have rich operational skills but no fighting will. As long as the situation is not right, they immediately think of running away instead of finding a way to continue fighting.
But it can still work under the high pressure of Mysterious Dragon. After all, there are no born useless people in this world, only kings who don't work hard.
"Ammunition! Quick!"
The Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun is fed from a magazine, but it only has 20 rounds of ammunition at a time. Under a fierce shooting, the anti-aircraft soldiers quickly ran out of ammunition.
The soldiers began to fire bombs and turn around in full swing. Although they knocked down two enemy planes, their positions were also exposed. You could think with your toes that other Japanese fighter planes would definitely fly here in an instant!
At the same time, the remaining Falcons were about to turn around and attack again, but unexpectedly, several rapid whistling sounds suddenly came from the direction above their heads.
Twelve US military P40 fighter planes finally arrived on the battlefield. Without saying a word, they immediately swooped down from high altitude and fired wildly at these Japanese fighters.
Two Falcons were turned into a hornet's nest on the spot and exploded in the air with a harsh sound. When other Japanese pilots saw this, they didn't dare to stop. They immediately turned around and ran away.
However, the Americans followed closely and continued to pursue, determined to destroy this group of little Japanese before they would give up.
Before the attack, they were scolded by the commander. They were already holding back their anger. How could they let these little Japanese people leave safely at this moment?
The fierce battle continued in the sky, and the battered Zenda was finally calmed down at this moment, but the town lost its former prosperity.
The streets were in a mess, countless houses and buildings were blown up, and the military camps around the town also suffered devastating blows. Even the Huitong Bridge, which had been repaired recently, was broken off by the bombing. One can imagine how much damage the Japanese bombing caused this time.
