Hearing the screams of the belly gunner, Zhou Zhihan made two rolling maneuvers without hesitation.
He knew that there must be unknown enemy planes appearing. Currently, he knew the locations of the seven Japanese fighter planes, and none of them could fire from under Martin's heavily bombarded belly.
"Duoduoduo..."
Two strings of bullets streaked across the air where Martin was before rolling over like red meteors.
Sure enough, an unknown Japanese fighter plane was attacking.
Zhou Zhihan still didn't know the exact location of the incoming Japanese aircraft, so he could only make two right rolls in succession and then a left roll in the opposite direction to escape.
Sure enough, two more red bullets passed ten meters away from the fighter plane, and the loud calls of the overhead machine gunner and the tail machine gunner were heard at the same time:
"There were two enemy planes approaching at 3 o'clock on the nose, and an enemy plane was climbing on the belly at 5 o'clock. It was the one that hit the gale..."
"Three more enemy planes appeared at the 12 o'clock position on the tail of the aircraft, and two enemy planes appeared at the 9 o'clock position on the left..."
"A large number of Japanese planes are attacking..."
"Oh my God! Three Japanese bombers appeared behind our defensive position..."
The two machine gunners shouted to alert the three pilots, shouting at the top of their lungs and almost breaking up.
Just when Zhou Zhihan activated the system to refill the fighter's machine gun with ammunition, a Type 96 warship sneak attack from a distance and at low altitude raised its nose and opened fire at Martin Heavy Bomb. At this time, Martin Heavy Bomb hit the The three machine gunners and bombardiers were concentrating on monitoring every move of the first seven Japanese fighter planes. No one noticed the Type 96 ship that flew in from a low altitude and suddenly raised its nose and opened fire.
No one could have imagined that the Japanese army had an absolute advantage and would send additional fighter planes to support them.
Zhou Zhihan was shocked when he saw Japanese fighter planes flying in from all directions, but he still asked in a calm tone: "How are you injured by the strong wind?"
Liefeng Zhou Xu's voice trembled, almost wailing: "I... my right calf was beaten off, and my right hand is also gone... ah... my little devil..." Liefeng screamed loudly.
Zhou Zhihan rolled sideways again to get away from the flames fired from a Type 95 warship from the 3 o'clock direction, and shouted: "Who will go and tie the wound of Gale, or else he will die alive."
"I'm going, I'm going to take over his machine gunner's position." Bombardier Hawkeye shouted as he left his cockpit and climbed towards the belly machine gunner's position. As soon as he climbed into the rear machine gunner's cockpit, he was struck by the man in front of him. The scene was shocking. The entire right wrist of the belly gunner Lifeng was blown off by bullets, revealing the messy white bones like canine teeth. One leg was cut off directly by the shrapnel. The wound was very neat. Blood spurted out from the two severed limbs. The entire cockpit became in red.
Although he had learned how to bandage wounds, Hawkeye was still very nervous. He took out the tourniquet in a panic, his limbs were shaking constantly, and he put the tourniquet around Gale Feng's severed limb to stop the bleeding.
"ah!"
Liefeng screamed and fainted, his face turned sallow and his lips turned white.
Eagle Eye saw that Li Feng had been injured so badly that he fainted. He was frightened, frightened and angry inside, and was confused. He hurriedly took a big breath.
Zhou Zhihan quickly scanned all the aircraft's instruments with his peripheral vision. Everything was normal except for the fuel crisis. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, report the damage!"
Looking around, Hawkeye shouted loudly: "There are several bullet holes in the cabin, but the fighter plane was not seriously damaged!"
The space where the belly gunner was located was too small. Hawkeye reluctantly pushed Gale aside and half hugged him. Then he reached out and grabbed the handle of the machine gun. He stared at the enemy situation in the surrounding airspace with wide eyes. He was breathing heavily and his palms were all wet. It was blood and sweat, and he quickly wiped it on his clothes.
At this moment, the overhead machine gunner Hu Xiao reminded loudly again, hoarse: "It's a Type 96 ship attack. They opened fire on my beach defense troops ruthlessly. Damn you, they dropped bombs..."
"boom……"
Suddenly, the Chinese defenders' positions were filled with flames one after another from left to right. Accompanied by a series of loud noises, three Japanese Type 96 naval attacks launched successive bomb attacks on the Chinese defenders' positions and then raised the level. Suddenly, the Chinese defenders' position was surrounded by a sea of fire.
The Chinese defenders focused all their attention on seizing the Japanese troops on the beach. They had no idea that three Japanese Type 96 ships suddenly appeared behind them. They were unprepared and were suddenly attacked fiercely by Japanese bombs and aircraft carriers. , and suddenly the position was in chaos. Many soldiers struggled and screamed and ran out of the position like a sea of fire, rolling on the ground.
Under a sudden attack by the Japanese air force, the machine gun barrage deployed on the Chinese beach position came to an abrupt end. The landing Japanese troops, who had lost fire suppression, climbed up from the shallow beach and quickly seized the beach.
The Japanese commander ordered all landing soldiers to discard all equipment except ammunition and attack quickly.
Looking at the red fireball and black smoke that exploded on the Chinese garrison position, Zhou Zhihan's heart bled. The troops guarding the beach were afraid that they would not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived and would not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.
Although Zhou Zhihan was not sure how many Japanese planes were coming to reinforce him at this time, no matter what, it was impossible for his three remaining fighters to defeat the Japanese planes that had an absolute advantage and retreat without a trace.
At this time, Zhou Zhihan had two choices in front of him:
First, fight a bloody path, lead Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei out of the battlefield, and quickly leave here to preserve strength for the Chinese Air Force;
Second, accompany all the Chinese defenders and die here together.
Looking at the Chinese defenders' positions that were blown into a sea of red by bombs and the defenders who were fighting to the death on the positions, Zhou Zhihan's eyes were filled with tears.
He won't leave.
He can't leave.
He couldn't bear to leave either!
Zhou Zhihan shouted: "Flying Falcon, Nuhai, I am Changkong, I will cover you to leave now!"
Zhang Mufei was soaked with sweat and said firmly, "Flying Falcon will not leave!"
Zhang Mufei's wing had several bullet holes. He tried hard to fly towards the beach defense position to attack the Type 96 naval attack, but was unable to do anything under the siege of the two Type 96 naval attack aircraft.
Shen Chonghai was in even greater danger. His fighter plane was shot in many places, but fortunately none of them were fatal. He was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth and shouted: "The angry sea will not leave!"
While he was speaking, he hurriedly glanced at the sky above the Chinese defenders' position. After a round of bombing, the three large but not clumsy Type 96 naval attack ships pulled up their fuselage and flew forward several hundred meters, then flew out again. Turn the nose around, fly back, and prepare for the second round of dive, attack, and bombing!
Shen Chonghai could only watch helplessly as the three Type 96 warships began to dive towards the Chinese defenders' position again and was helpless. He wanted to rush over, but the road was blocked by Japanese planes and he couldn't pass.
The troops guarding the beach were unprepared and were suddenly attacked by three Japanese Type 96 ships. The casualties were very heavy. From the beginning of the battle to the present, less than half of the 2,000 people were left, but in their position At the front, the Japanese troops also left hundreds of corpses.
Suddenly, Brigadier Yi Anhua appeared in the sight of Zhou Zhihan, Shen Chonghai, and Zhang Mufei holding a light machine gun.
All the crew members of the three Chinese fighter jets were instantly excited.
Faced with the sudden appearance of three Type 96 warships from the Japanese army, Brigadier Yi Anhua personally held a light machine gun and fought side by side with the soldiers to boost their morale!
The machine gunners raised their machine guns one after another, waiting for them to pull up and turn, and the Type 96 ship that dived over again flew over.
Several machine gunners were holding machine guns that they had snatched from the fire. The hot gun barrels blistered their hands. They all stared with hatred at the Japanese planes that began to swoop in again.
Many soldiers also raised their rifles, aiming at the enemy plane, waiting for the enemy plane to dive over.
While General Yi Anhua shot at the Japanese fighter planes in the air, he directed all the soldiers to break away from the first line of defense, which had turned into a sea of fire, and retreat toward the second simple line of defense to organize defensive firepower.
At this time, there was no time to rescue the wounded. The slightly injured ones retreated to the second line of defense, while the seriously injured ones each thought of ways to live or die. The battlefield was so cruel, whoever stayed to rescue the seriously wounded would die.
During World War II, the military regulations of all armies included a provision that during combat, the army could not stop for injured soldiers.
The Chinese defenders could only retreat, reorganize their defenses, and stay on the first defensive position that had become a sea of fire. They could only lose their lives in vain.
The helpless retreat of the beach defense position caused the 3rd and 7th companies, which were fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese troops on the left flank of the position, to lose the barrier behind them. They were surrounded by more and more Japanese troops and had no choice but to fight to the death.
Watching the defenders fall into a bloody battle, Zhou Zhihan knew that he could no longer use delaying tactics.
They couldn't wait for reinforcements.
All Japanese pilots wanted to shoot down this Chinese Martin heavy bomber.
Looking at the approaching Type 96 warships, Zhou Zhihan activated the system and boosted the engine. He just wanted to cover the retreat of the remaining soldiers guarding the beach.
Before that, he had not activated the system. That was because he could use his air combat skills to hold back the Japanese planes and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
But now, all delaying tactics are meaningless, and they will not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Their three fighter planes could not hold on for more than a few minutes.
The only thing that can be done now is to cover the evacuation of the beach defense troops, and the less one is killed, the better.
If General Yi Anhua and the others stay here to defend, they will die in vain because they will not be able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
Martin's heavily bombarded engine instantly increases power by 30%.
Time, one minute.
With 30% more power, Martin made a dexterous turn and flew towards the three Japanese Type 96 ships.
If you want to cover General Yi Anhua's retreat, you must first destroy these three Type 96 attack ships. They pose too great a threat to the troops defending the beach.
"Nine..." Xifeng Tang Anshun, the top machine gunner, loudly reminded Zhou Zhihan, Zhang Mufei, and Shen Chonghai, "The Japanese army has reinforced nine fighter jets and three Type 96 land attack aircraft. Now we are 3 against 19..."
