The military god Nango Shigeaki panicked. The tail of the No. 00 fighter was severely damaged. The turn was too slow, the fuselage was shaking, and it was difficult to control. When he turned around and fled, he saw the No. 214 ship fighting to harvest the Imperial soldiers. He had no choice but to hope that the No. 214 ship Zhan Neng can be harvested for a while longer, giving Fighter No. 00 enough time to escape.
Obviously, the No. 214 ship battle did not give the military god Nango Shigeaki a chance to escape. Shooting down the No. 00 fighter plane of the military god Nango Shigeaki would further boost morale!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The No. 214 ship battle quickly escalated, catching up with the No. 00 fighter, forming a forward tracking, firing, the tracer bullets spitting tongues of flame, starting from the nose of the No. 00 fighter, and the bullet holes lined up all the way to the belly of the aircraft. Military God Nanxiang Maozhang Company There was no chance to parachute, so he died when the No. 00 fighter plane exploded and disintegrated.
Watching the No. 00 fighter jet disintegrate in the air, fall, and burn, the Japanese soldiers on the ground ran around in fear.
Chinese people in Suzhou and Nan'an cheer! They watched with their own eyes as Ship Battle No. 214 shot down two Japanese fighter planes, continuing the humiliation of the Japanese aviation force.
On several airships, many foreign reporters used cameras and cameras to record the wonderful dog fight between the air forces of both sides.
“It’s been such an ups and downs, it’s been so exciting!”
Senior observers from Western countries sincerely admired it!
The exciting aerial game between the No. 214 ship and the No. 00 fighter benefited the young Erich Hardmann a lot.
Since less than half of the roof of the Sihang Warehouse was still burning, although the fire was controllable, it was not suitable for fighter planes to land at this time. Zhou Zhihan could only pilot the No. 214 Warship to fly into the clouds and turn off the flames, hovering from time to time. Create a deterrent effect for the Japanese troops on the ground.
Since the No. 00 fighter was shot down and once again humiliated the Japanese air force, the No. 214 ship battle tried not to attack the Japanese troops on the ground. If they pressed too hard, the angry General Matsui Iwane might really send a large number of fighter planes to encircle the Sihang Warehouse.
Now Sihang Warehouse is mainly defending, trying to delay as much time as possible. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it will be to the Chinese delegation participating in the upcoming Brussels conference. As long as the bottom line of Japanese pride is not broken, Zhou Zhihan believes that the Japanese army will still send ace pilots Come here to pull the flag and save face for the Japanese Air Force.
This time the two sides fought. Although the military god Nango Maozhang fell in the end, he successfully pulled out the blue sky and white sun flag on the Sihang Warehouse, which could be regarded as saving some face for the Imperial Air Force. After all, in this extraordinary period, the meaning of a blue sky and white sun flag to Shanghai Very significant, extraordinary, extraordinary.
In a sense, Air Combat Army Shennanxiang Maozhang did not lose this time. The chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force also won very hard. He failed to protect the blue sky and white sun flag. This victory was not complete.
The powerful Japanese aviation force does not only have one ace pilot, Gungami Nango Shigeaki. According to the ranking of Japan's strongest ace pilots, Gungami Nango Shigeaki is only ranked fourth. There are three world-famous ace pilots above him.
On the other hand, if the Japanese army wants to continue sending ace pilots to Shanghai to shoot down the No. 214 ship in battle and save face for the Imperial Air Force, their ground attack will not be too fierce. If the Sihang Warehouse is breached, the No. 214 ship will be destroyed. There is no point in continuing the war.
Moreover, the ammunition and fuel for the No. 214 ship battle are not unlimited. Although Xu Zheyou and others risked their lives to send ammunition and fuel, the quantity is limited after all, and they must be saved now to save it for critical moments.
The defeat and death of the military god Nango Shigeaki greatly affected the morale of the Japanese army. In order to restore morale, Major General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru, who commanded Hase Brigade and was responsible for the main attack on Sihang Warehouse, decided to quickly capture Sihang Warehouse and ordered the rapid deployment of artillery. Using heavy artillery to shoot at a flat angle, the frontal defense of the Sixing Warehouse was directly blown open, quickly defeating the Chinese defenders, and allowing the foreigners and Chinese people on the other side of the river to see the power of the world's number one army.
Major General Kiyotake Yoshimaru decided not to wait any longer. He said it would take three hours to capture the Four Row Warehouse. Now an hour has passed. If he cannot capture the Four Row Warehouse in two hours, his face and the empire's face would be greatly embarrassed. .
As soon as Major General Kiyotake Yoshimaru issued the order to bring in heavy artillery, he received a call from General Matsui Iwane.
Major General Yoshimaru Kiyoshi wondered if someone around him had reported to General Matsui Iwane, why the general's phone call came just after he ordered the heavy artillery to be brought in.
General Matsui Iwane already knew that the No. 00 fighter was shot down by the No. 214 battleship, but the military god Nango Shigeaki first pulled out the blue sky and white sun flag on the Sihang Warehouse, which was of great significance to the Chinese defenders and even China as a whole, which could be regarded as saving a lot for the Imperial Air Force. To save face, to the outside world, this air battle could be considered a draw.
General Matsui Iwane told Major General Yoshimaru Kiyotake: We can attack the Shihang Warehouse with all our strength, but the premise is that heavy artillery is not allowed to use, so as not to cause diplomatic disputes with the British Empire and other countries. If the order is violated, he will be dismissed and investigated.
General Matsui Iwane also told Major General Yoshimaru Kiyotake that when he received his telegram yesterday afternoon, the No. 00 fighter jet had already been to China for a long time. In order to be absolutely sure, the empire sent another super ace pilot this morning to fly the new fighter jet that was about to enter the Chinese battlefield. , went to meet the military god.
Major General Kiyoshi Yoshimaru could only withdraw the order to deploy heavy artillery. For a major general, being dismissed from his post and investigated would be equivalent to a death sentence.
So Major General Kiyomaru Yoshimaru ordered: The engineers quickly made square steel plates of one square meter to form a steel plate array. Under the cover of frontal attack firepower, the steel plate array protected the demolition soldiers from breaking into the corners on both sides of the Sihang Warehouse to carry out blasting.
There are many windows on the front of the Sihang Warehouse. The Chinese defenders used the cover of the windows to shoot out, which was too lethal to the imperial soldiers. If the demolition soldiers could blow up the walls on both sides of the Sihang Warehouse under the cover of the steel plate array, they would It will make the defenders in the warehouse focus on one thing and not the other.
Compared with the front, there are very few windows on both sides of the Sihang Warehouse. There is only one large window and two small windows on each floor. The main task of the soldiers guarding both sides of the warehouse is to prevent Japanese troops from climbing in through the windows on both sides of the warehouse. Fortunately, the walls on both sides of the warehouse were smooth and difficult to climb. The Japanese army organized several roundabout attacks on both sides, but failed. They could only abandon dozens of corpses and continue to attack from the front.
The fire between the Sihang Warehouse and the Japanese attacking troops gradually became smaller. The Japanese corpses that were not cleared in time were burned by the fire, emitting bursts of stench, and thick smoke billowed over the Sihang Warehouse.
Taking advantage of the Japanese attack being stalled by the fire, the Chinese soldiers in the Sixing Warehouse got a rare respite, quickly treating the wounded, replenishing ammunition, and strengthening the defense line.
Suddenly, there was a burst of sharp and harsh sounds, and soon after, many grenade-like oval shells rushed in from the window. They did not explode after landing, but spun rapidly, emitting thick white smoke.
