On the Jiutang position, gunfire and gunfire filled the air, and the shouts of killing filled the sky.
The four Japanese fighter planes were suppressing the Chinese position at low altitude. When they saw the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane coming from a distance, a Type 97 Land Fighter broke away from the suppressive battle and quickly pulled up to fight.
At the same time, the two Japanese transport planes that were lowered in height and ready to drop supplies could only be pulled up, waiting for land battles to expel the Japanese aircraft before delivering them safely.
Seeing this Chinese fighter plane, not only did they not turn around and leave immediately when they saw the Japanese fighter planes as usual, but they dived down from the air, fighting one against six, without fear. The Chinese officers and soldiers who had just been complaining about the air force immediately felt He hung up and changed his previous attitude.
There is a question in everyone's mind, is one-on-six possible?
Even many soldiers who had just complained that the Chinese Air Force did not come for reinforcements at this moment actually hoped that the fighter plane could turn around and leave. Although the appearance of this military plane greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese soldiers, everyone knows that one enemy is six. Must lose.
Dai Anlan and Qiu Qingquan were even more uneasy in their hearts. They were worried that if this fighter plane was shot down by the enemy, it would have a greater psychological impact on our army.
However, seeing the morale rebounding, Major General Dai Anlan and Major General Qiu Qingquan immediately stopped complaining and commanded their troops to suppress the Miki Regiment's counterattack. In any case, it was better to have fighter planes to assist at this time than not at all.
The Type 97 Land Fighter who was climbing did not expect that the speed of the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane would be so fast. It was different from all Chinese fighters in the past. An unprecedented sense of oppression forced him to fire first, hoping to give the Chinese fighter that was diving down. Fighters create pressure and change attitude.
Although the hit rate of firing when climbing up is very low, being the first to fire can create some psychological pressure on the opponent.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
When the two planes were 350 meters apart, the Type 97 Land Combat opened fire, and the dense tongues of fire bit into the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane.
The No. 214 Night Fighting Hurricane changed its attitude as expected. Pressing the stick right, he sided to avoid the incoming bomb and passed side by side with the Type 97 Land Fighter. He accelerated and dived. The condensed wake of the fighter plane left a white path with a steep downward slope in the air. In a blink of an eye, they were on the left side of a Type 96 Land Attack that was bombing China's heavy weapons at low altitude. From this position, the machine gunner of the Type 96 Land Attack was powerless. He could only raise his head and gape.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Zhou Zhihan closed the throttle and pressed the launch button. The eight machine guns of the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane launched an octet and fired a brutal burst of fire. After hitting the bomb mounted on the belly of the Type 96 Marine, he quickly pressed the lever and pushed The throttle valve was turned on, the fuselage trembled and accelerated suddenly, quickly broke away, and rushed towards another Type 96 Land Attack two kilometers away.
Zhou Zhihan knew that the Japanese bombers were exerting the heaviest pressure on the Chinese Army at this time. He wanted to kill the bombers first and destroy the morale of the Japanese, and then deal with the fighter jets and slow transport planes.
"boom!"
A second later, the bomb in the belly of the Type 96 Land Attack exploded, adding a powerful shock wave to the fire, helping the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane to accelerate instantly.
At this time, the Type 97 land fighter that went to intercept the No. 214 Night Fighting Hurricane was actually still climbing. I didn't know what was happening behind me. When I heard the explosion, I turned around and saw the Chinese fighter jet rising like a falcon. The attack broke away and flew towards another Type 96 land attack.
Three seconds.
Three seconds later, the Chinese soldiers on the entire Jiutang battlefield let out a cheer like a landslide and tsunami.
This explosion from the enemy plane was so morale-boosting.
The explosion and fire of the Type 96 land attack was like a shot of chicken blood to all Chinese soldiers, sweeping away the complaints and decline just now and boosting their morale.
"This fighter is so powerful, it's different from the previous one." General Qiu Qingquan grinned as he spoke, then turned to Commander Dai Anlan and said, "Brother Dai, our morale has improved. I think it's time to join the reserve team. .”
General Dai Anlan also changed his complaint just now and turned to look at Qiu Qingquan: "Okay, go to the reserve team. Order two machine gun companies to suppress the Japanese transport plane with firepower and fully cooperate with our fighter planes."
Dai Anlan and Qiu Qingquan knew that now was the best time to join the reserve team. Taking advantage of their strong morale, they defeated the Miki United's counterattack in one fell swoop, killed the Japanese's momentum to break through, compressed and flattened their formation again, and then continued Use heavy artillery bombardment to directly defeat the morale of the little devils.
On the battlefield, the most important thing is morale.
General Qiu Qingquan reached out and pulled out the Zhongzheng Sword: "Order, go to the reserve team! Guard companies, also support the labor force!"
General Dai Anlan also pulled out the Zhongzheng Sword: "The entire 200th Division is pressing forward. Order the tanks and heavy artillery to attack with all their strength. Don't skimp on ammunition. Hit the Japanese on the head hard."
"Come on, brothers, fight the little devils who have had enough days..."
The Chinese soldiers' morale was high and they launched an attack.
The sudden blow caused the high morale of the Miki Regiment to suddenly stagnate. The explosion of the Type 96 land attack was too demoralizing.
At this time, the Type 96 land attack occupies a far greater position in the hearts of the Japanese than the Zero fighter. Most of the Japanese still don’t know about the Type Zero, but everyone knows that the Type 96 land attack is the heart of the Chinese ** team. A hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Seeing the Type 96 land attack explosion falling to the ground, the soldiers of the Miki Regiment were discouraged.
The pilots of the other five Japanese planes were also a little confused. This was the first time they encountered this situation on the Chinese battlefield.
When the remaining Type 96 Land Attacker saw the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane rushing toward them, several machine gunners immediately raised their muzzles for shooting at the ground.
Another Type 97 Land Fighter saw this and quickly reversed, trying to intercept it from halfway, but it had been in a low-altitude and low-speed suppression state. It was unable to increase speed for a while, and could only watch the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane. In the blink of an eye, it In a short time, he reached the top of the Type 96 Land Attacker.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The Japanese's three machine gunners fired from different positions to block the block. All the crew members could see that this Chinese fighter jet was too terrifying. Whether it was speed or firepower, it was the same I-15 they had seen before? Unmatched by the I-16.
The Death God Stuka Zhou Zhihan can be easily destroyed, let alone the 96 Shikiriku which is no longer advanced.
Quickly approaching the land attack, Zhou Zhihan held his pole steady. When the No. 214 Night Fighting Hurricane was about to enter the range of the land attack machine gun fire, he suddenly made three arrogant and unreasonable pull-up jumps. After a few breaths, he rose to the level of the aircraft. Not far away was the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft hovering over the Miki Wing, always looking for opportunities to airdrop.
Since the beginning of the battle, the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft carrying supply ammunition and the Type 97 airship carrying food have been hovering above the Miki Wing position. In this airspace, the Chinese air defense firepower is beyond the reach of the two supply aircraft. Circle, first find a suitable location for airdrops, and wait for the opportunity to accurately drop ammunition and food on your own positions.
Prior to this, the Japanese army had airdropped supplies to the Miki Regiment many times, but they were unsuccessful due to various reasons. Among them, two airdrops floated to the Chinese position due to strong winds, and another airdrop was due to Miki. The regiment's position was too compressed, and eventually all the supplies and ammunition drifted to the squadron's position. The little devils could only chew grass roots while watching the Chinese soldiers eat their various cans.
The No. 214 night battle hurricane made a series of three unreasonable jumps. It was a murderous existence. It immediately made the two crew members of the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft tremble in their hearts, and their whole bodies were as cold as if they had fallen into a glacier. , the pilot quickly pressed the stick to increase speed, trying to fly towards his own Type 97 Land Fighter, which was staggering like a slow duck and pursuing it, to find shelter.
