High in the sky, six or seven kilometers away from Dagu Town.
The transport plane Okamura Neiji was on, protected by five fighter jets, flew in circles around Dagu Town in the sky.
The old Japanese was still very afraid of death and did not dare to get close to the battlefield to watch the battle. Instead, he secretly observed the battle from a distance.
In the cabin, Okamura Neiji first used a telescope to look in the direction of Dagu Town, and then asked the combat staff to put on the artillery scope for observation.
It is true that the artillery mirror can see much clearer than the telescope, but the artillery mirror is not flexible, and the aircraft keeps flying.
In desperation, Okamura Neji had to put on the telescope again.
At this time, Japanese aircraft had already begun to approach the sky above Dagu Town and began to drop aerial bombs.
Not long after, accompanied by a thunderous explosion that shook the mountains, groups of fiery red flowers rose up from Dagu Town.
"Your Excellency, the bombing of Dagu Town has begun."
Beside them were Mo Jingsan and several combat staff, also holding binoculars and leaning on the window of the plane, watching the battle situation in Dagu Town through the plexiglass of the plane.
At first, Youmo Jingsan was still very scared, but when he got to the sky above Dagu Town, he was no longer so scared.
Come here, if you encounter the Eighth Route Army calling for air support, then let's meet it.
It doesn't matter.
In this mood and thought, Youmo Jingsan relaxed.
Okamura Neiji glanced at Yumo Seizan, returned his gaze to the battlefield, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yoshi!"
At this time, even if the air support called by the Eighth Route Army is in place, it will be of no use. Dagu Town has been wiped out.
Under this level of bombing, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, would probably have a hard time surviving in this Dagu Town.
Thinking of this, Okamura Neji felt comfortable.
Okamura Neiji's plane and several fighter jets turned half a circle. Although the radius of the turn was not large, the diameter of one circle in the air was nearly 10 kilometers on the ground.
Suddenly, Okamura Neji frowned slightly.
"Youmo-kun, did you find anything wrong?"
An unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in Okamura Neji's heart, and became stronger and stronger.
"Your Excellency, General." Youmo Jingsan was slightly startled, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Bombers have been attacking Dagu Town for so long." Okamura Neiji narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why is there no anti-aircraft fire counterattack from the Eighth Route New Regiment in Dagu Town?"
Youmo Jingsan quickly raised his telescope and looked towards Dagu Town.
He indeed did not see that there was a firepower counterattack in Dagu Town, which was abnormal.
If the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is in Dagu Town, there should be a lot of anti-aircraft firepower in Dagu Town. Once the Japanese aircraft bomb, there will definitely be anti-aircraft firepower to counterattack the aircraft.
From their position, they could completely see the chain of fire bullets fired from the anti-aircraft firepower point of the new Eighth Route Army regiment in Dagu Town.
Okamura Neiji was mentally prepared to have 15 planes shot down.
But what was unexpected was that there was not even a single anti-aircraft firepower point in Dagu Town. Could it be that the anti-aircraft firepower point had been destroyed?
"Your Excellency, General." Youmo Jingsan said in a deep voice, "Maybe the information about Pangolin is wrong. Dagu Town is not the headquarters of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. It is also possible that the headquarters of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army left Dagu Town. ”
Okamura Neji frowned even deeper when he heard what Arimoe Seizo said: "Even if Dagu Town is not the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, there must be troops stationed there. Dagu Town doesn't even have a counterattack. This is so counterintuitive.”
You Mo Jing San said: "There is another possibility."
Okamura Neji asked: "What is possible?"
Youmo Jingsan said: "Li Yunlong knew in advance that the Locust Army's planes would bomb Dagu Town, but he didn't know the specific time, so he evacuated the troops and Chinese people from Dagu Town."
Okamura Neji nodded, it would be okay if that was the case, it was just a loss of some aerial bombs.
What he fears most is falling into Li Yunlong's trap, resulting in heavy losses.
However, Okamura then thought about it and realized that the only thing that could pose a threat to the 16th Flying Regiment and the 20th Flying Regiment was the air support called by the Eighth Route Army.
This time, the air raid on Dagu Town was decided by Okamura Neiji on the spur of the moment. More than an hour ago, even Okamura Neiji himself did not know when he would send out planes to bomb Dagu Town.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army Li Yunlong would not be informed of the information in advance and call for mysterious air support.
The 16th Flying Group and the 20th Flying Group were safe.
Thinking of this, Okamura Neiji put his heart back in his stomach. The worst result was just the loss of some aerial bombs. As long as the pilots and aircraft were not lost, he could accept it.
If the Eighth Route Army and the people in Dagu Town have been evacuated, there will definitely be observers left by the Eighth Route Army around Dagu Town.
Okamura Neiji then turned his telescope to look around Dagu Town.
The next second, Okacun saw the piles of corn stalks in the fields around Dagu Town. At first, he didn't think they were anything.
But the next second, Okamura Neji's eyes couldn't help but suddenly condensed, and he quickly focused the field of view of the telescope on the piles of corn stalks.
"You Mojun, look at the piles of corn stalks in the fields around Dagu Town."
Okamura Neji's voice rang out.
Youmo Jingsan quickly raised his telescope and looked around Dagu Town.
After watching it carefully for a while, Youmo Jingsan also noticed something was wrong: "Your Excellency, the piles of corn stalks around Dagu Town seem to be too many and too dense. Even if they are all planted with corn, they will not be able to produce so many corn stalks." .”
Looking at the planes that were bombing, Okamura Neiji suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart. He condensed his eyes and said: "Arimatsu-kun, please call Amakasu-kun immediately to stop the bombing of Dagu Town. All planes will immediately Return to Peking Airport!"
Youmo Jingsan suddenly paused: "Hi!"
…
Okamura Neiji saw something was wrong and was about to order the bombing to stop.
But it's too late.
"Attention all air defense groups, this is the regiment headquarters."
"The leader ordered me to beat that son of a bitch hard!"
"Fire..."
In the headquarters of the New Regiment, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou personally grabbed the walkie-talkie phone and gave the order to fire.
Almost at the same time he gave the order, a string of red flares rose into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.
Almost at the same time that the red signal flare took off, the soldiers at each anti-aircraft firepower point instantly pushed away the piles of corn stalks around them, and then immediately aimed at the Japanese aircraft in the sky and opened fire violently.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Da da da……"
The roaring sound of the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun and the barking of the M2 heavy machine gun continued like New Year's firecrackers.
Chains of 20mm artillery shells and 12.7mm machine gun bullets wound up towards the Japanese aircraft in the sky.
Artillery shells and machine gun shells whizzed into the sky, and the sky suddenly formed a dense orange-red trajectory like raindrops. A fire net formed by dense firepower enveloped the Japanese aircraft.
The sky looked like Star Wars, with projectiles flashing red, yellow or white.
…
Above Dagu Town.
After two or three rounds of bombing, Dagu Town had been completely reduced to a sea of flames.
The leader of the 20th Flight Regiment, Saburo Amakasu, looked at the town of Dagu that had turned into a sea of flames, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
As a flying commander, Saburo Amakasu knew very well that the Eighth Route Army troops below in Dagu Town were the culprits that severely damaged the Japanese Locust Army, and their commander was in this town.
Saburo Amakasu was very satisfied with the scene in Dagu Town at this time.
Moreover, this bombing was also a practical flight experience accumulation for the new pilots.
"All planes have dropped bombs and are ready to return..."
After two rounds of bombing, most of the aerial bombs had been dropped. After another round, all the aerial bombs were lost.
"Hi……"
On the radio, the voices of the flight captains responded.
As soon as Saburo Amakasu pressed the control stick, the nose of the plane suddenly sank down, roaring through the clouds and diving towards Dagu Town. He was going to drop a 50kg aerial bomb under the belly of the plane into Dagu Town, and then Lead the troops to return.
Once the 50 kilogram aerial bomb under the belly of the aircraft falls, it will be enough for the enemy to drink a pot.
As soon as Saburo Amakasu's fighter jet entered the attack position, he saw a dense barrage of barrages appearing in the sky in front of the plane's nose.
"Nani!?"
Seeing the dense barrage spread in front of his plane, Saburo Amakasu's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror subconsciously appeared on his face.
Before he had time to react, a Type 97 bomber next to him was hit and burst into flames, losing control and falling towards the ground.
Saburo Amakasu quickly pulled the joystick to leave the area, but once the Nakajima-1 fighter entered a dive attack, it would be difficult to change its course.
Even though Saburo Amakasu had a flying level close to that of an ace pilot, he was unable to save himself.
Saburo Amakasu's fighter jet crashed into the air defense fire net.
Immediately, Saburo Amakasu's Nakajima fighter trembled suddenly. As if it was hit by hail, the entire fuselage crackled and then exploded in the air with a bang.
Even if Saburo Amakasu pulls the plane upward, left or right, it will not enter the fire network in front, but will also crash into the surrounding fire network.
More than 1,000 anti-aircraft firepower points fired simultaneously, forming an airtight firepower network that was almost indistinguishable from raindrops.
…
In the transport plane.
Okamura Neji's order had not yet been issued.
Then I saw this scene in front of me: Under the dense firepower network across the sky, the Japanese planes were hit continuously, falling like dumplings from the sky.
In the process of falling, many of the hit aircraft were hit by hail of bullets, enveloped in deadly fire nets for the second and third time, and exploded in the air.
Okamura Neiji discovered that there were sparks on the ground as dense as stars.
After careful observation with a telescope, he discovered that where the sparks were, they were more than 1,000 anti-aircraft firepower points spitting out tongues of fire.
"How can this be?"
Looking at the dense spider webs of ballistic missiles above Dagu Town, as well as our own aircraft that were constantly being blown up in the air or falling with flames.
Neji Okamura and Seizo Arisu had expressions of incredible shock on their faces.
