The captain of the North China Expeditionary Force Flying Team, Shaozuo Kamihinichiro, looked down at the melee formations below and frowned. Thousands of people from the two positions formed a criss-crossing battlefield. Under the smoke, he wanted to distinguish who was the Eighth Route Army and who was the Eighth Route Army. The Locust Army has some difficulties. How can it carry out large-scale air strikes?
It would be tragic if all the aerial bombs dropped fell on our own people's positions.
Binichiro Kami took his wingmen to conduct reconnaissance first.
He ordered the follow-up fighter planes to hover and wait for him and his wingmen to reconnoiter and figure out the battlefield situation before taking action.
Binichiro Kami's flying squadron fighters are mainly Type 97 fighters, and there are also a small number of more advanced Nakajima I-type fighters. Among them, Binichiro Kami and his wingmen are two Nakajima I-types. I saw them tumbling in the air, directly Separate into left and right directions, and lower the flight altitude to a low altitude of 500 meters along the river valley and plain area of the blocking position for observation.
Binichiro Kami was on the left, and what he saw was the battlefield where the 238th Regiment and the 239th Regiment were desperately attacking the defense line.
The wingman turned to the right and soon discovered the marching Ping An Group! The little devil's wingman saw it very clearly this time. On the dusty ground was the unique blue-gray uniform of the Eighth Route Army!
The size of the Ping An cluster, which was marching rapidly across several square kilometers, was so large that it was impossible to hide it!
"Enemy planes are attacking in the air, stay down! Stay down!" The battalion and company commanders and soldiers on the ground shouted anxiously one by one when they saw the enemy planes attacking from the little Japanese.
However, Kamibinichiro's wingman quickly pulled up and flew away without making any other unnecessary movements.
A false alarm.
Watching the enemy plane fly away, the marching team got up and ran forward again.
However, within a few minutes, enemy planes appeared one after another in the sky, forming a formation of four and heading towards the Ping An cluster!
After Binichiro Kami's wingmen found the Heian cluster, after receiving the news, Binichiro Kami immediately concentrated his main forces to attack the newly found Heian cluster. Their fighters came from a long distance, and there was not much time left in the air. For the Ping An cluster that collided, they just launched a group attack.
Kamibinichiro himself and his wingman began to lower their altitude to launch precise attacks on the 386th Brigade blocking battlefield. They lowered their altitude to about 300 meters. In fact, under normal circumstances, they would never enter this extremely dangerous low-altitude attack. , because at this height, the heavy machine gun already has the ability to threaten them.
However, at this moment, the positions of both sides were intertwined, and it was impossible to carry out a precise attack on the Eighth Route Army position without lowering the altitude. Kamibin Ichiro, who relied on his superb flying skills, took the risk and approached the Eighth Route Army position!
This time he chose the position of the 771st Regiment. When Binichiro saw an eight-way heavy machine gun firepower point in front of him spitting out flames, he aimed at it and dropped an aerial bomb in advance.
The bomb weighing 60 kilograms screamed and fell next to the heavy machine gun fire point and exploded. Although it did not hit directly, the huge explosion shock wave and shell fragments directly blew away a heavy machine gun fire point, the machine gunner, deputy machine gunner and ammunition. hand, and a dozen nearby Eighth Route Army soldiers died on the spot!
There is basically no possibility of survival within the killing range of this hugely lethal aerial bomb. ….
After dropping a bomb, Binichiro Kami pulled up the fuselage and rolled and dived again towards the 771st Regiment position. This time he launched the same bomb attack at another heavy machine gun fire point. This low-altitude bombing was very important to Binichiro Kami. It was a familiar sight and its accuracy was astonishingly high. It was no surprise that the heavy machine gun firepower of the 771st Regiment once again suffered a devastating blow.
At this time, some soldiers of the 771st Regiment were angry. There were hundreds of soldiers lying on the ground, using their rifles and light machine guns to shoot wildly at Binichiro Kamijiro's Nakajima Type 1. Unfortunately, not to mention the limited shooting height, even if it was enough On the other hand, these inexperienced shootings are also a waste of bullets. Without advance calculation, the possibility of directly aiming at the fighter plane and hitting it is zero!
After throwing away the two aerial bombs, Binichiro Kami, who had a lighter fuselage, once again rolled and dived into the 772nd Regiment's position. This time he began to dive and fire with his two heavy machine guns. The heavy aircraft sprayed like a violent storm*** , intensively plowed two deep ditches on the ground several hundred meters away from the 771st Regiment’s position.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers lying near the ballistic path could not avoid this critical attack from the sky.
In just one face-to-face encounter, Binichiro Kami's wave of fire killed nearly a platoon of the 771st Regiment!
Although combat preparations against air strikes had been made in advance and the soldiers were dispersed to a certain extent, the 771st Regiment still suffered very serious losses in the face of large-scale fire from heavy machine guns falling from the sky.
...
Almost at the same time, the Ping An Group faced a more severe air attack test. Facing one wave after another of air attacks by twenty enemy aircraft, the Ping An Group began to take position according to the essentials of preparing for air attacks.
Some light machine gunners and heavy machine gunners couldn't help but put the machine gun mounts on the shoulders of the deputy shooters and launch counterattacks against enemy aircraft in the air.
At one time, hundreds of machine guns of various types were pointed at the sky, which made the little Japanese pilots in the air attack a little more restrained. They did not dare to lower the altitude to an ultra-low altitude of 300 meters like Binichiro Kami, but instead concentrated on flying above 500 meters. !
In the first round, these little devil pilots chose to throw away aerial bombs as usual. The Type 97 fighter plane, carrying four 25-kilogram aerial bombs, dropped the bombs one after another on the marching column of the Ping An Group against the opponent who had no resistance. The bombs were equivalent to 80% of the power of 150 mm heavy artillery grenades. Bombs exploded one after another in the marching ranks.
Even though Gao Jianwu had opened a distance of about 20 meters between the troops and pulled out a queue several kilometers away, the losses were still heavy in the face of the Little Japanese aerial bombs. At least two to three hundred soldiers died in this round of bomb attacks.
However, this was only the first round of the little devil. The next round of machine gun fire that came one after another was even more difficult to guard against. Everyone could only lie down on the ground and resign themselves to fate. Machine gun trajectories of hundreds of meters. Bad luck. Maybe A platoon of soldiers is gone!
Seeing the troops suffering casualties silently, Gao Jianwu once again sent back to his hometown to inquire about the progress of the fk38 cannon. Now the only thing in his hand that can threaten the Little Japanese fighter jets is this cannon.
For a long time in the future, without an air force, he will have to develop his air defense capabilities crazily in order to limit the little devil's air force to high altitudes!
With the capabilities of the FK3820 machine gun, at least in the 2,000-meter airspace, the Little Japanese fighter jets can no longer do whatever they want. ….
It is a pity that at this time, the 20mm anti-aircraft gun named Type 43 by Gao Jianwu was still under trial production at the 101 Arsenal and had not yet entered the mass production stage. Gao Jianwu could only watch the Japs' fighter planes wreak havoc, without any solution.
Fortunately, these little Japanese fighter jets that came from afar were forced to return after less than 30 minutes of attack after Binichiro Kami received the radio message that they could not land at Jinyang Airport or Yunzhong Airport.
Although in such a short period of time, more than a thousand casualties had been caused to the Ping An cluster, Gao Jianwu was still very fortunate that the headquarters and the cavalry regiment were very powerful and dealt a devastating blow to the nearest airport.
In this way, Gao Jianwu confidently and boldly mobilized the main force of Jinsui District southward, preparing to launch the Battle of Jinyang immediately after annihilating the 41st Division in one go!
...
On the 386 blocking position, as soon as the enemy planes flew away, the brigade commander threw the cavalry regiment into the defense of the dangerous 771 regiment position. The 1st and 2nd battalions of the new 2nd regiment, which had temporarily retreated, and the mortar company directly re-entered the position. Dedicated to blocking the 239th Regiment, and with the unscathed mountain artillery battalion, the 772nd Regiment's position, which was originally somewhat collapsed, now redeployed its front lines to withstand the crazy attack of the Japs!
Brigadier Chen Da's risky plan finally bore fruitful results after an hour of bloody battle. Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu rushed to the rear of the 41st Division despite the air raids, and the Ping An Group was unable to withstand it. Stay safe and the cluster ferocious attack.
Li Yunlong, who re-entered the front line, led Zhang Dabiao's main battalion like a sharp knife. With the precise mortar fire support of Gao Jianwu, he tore through the 41st Division's back line of defense in an instant!
Gao Jianwu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, followed closely about a kilometer ahead, near dozens of trucks of the Little Japanese Baggage Regiment, while commanding several following mortar companies to support Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao.
An attack group burst out ammunition wildly, especially the huge consumption of 75mm mountain artillery shells and field artillery shells, as well as 90mm small steel cannon and 92 infantry artillery shells.
As the main artillery shells of the Little Devils, Gao Jianwu directly carried out crazy output according to the truck's maximum load! It didn't stop until almost a base of artillery shells had been replenished for the 41st Division, and it began to continue to explode the 38-inch caps and ammunition for machine guns and heavy machine guns!
Under the cover of the diffuse smoke, no one knew that a lot of ammunition appeared silently next to the overturned truck of the Japs' baggage regiment.
However, for the Ping An Group, which never kept many prisoners on the battlefield, it quickly killed the Japanese baggage regiment and the engineer regiment cleanly!
So all this has become a matter of death and no evidence.
Gao Jianwu basically didn't do anything with the food supplies that the little devil took away, but it was enough for everyone. After all, the 41st Division itself was a force of more than 20,000 people. Even if he only took 7 days of consumption, the captured food supplies would still be enough for everyone. This is already a very impressive number.
Major General Qianli Zhongzheng, the chief of staff of the 41st Division in charge of the rear, was directly killed by Li Yunlong's charging main battalion!
Half an hour later, Gong Lilijia, the commander of the 41st Division who was in charge of the 239th Regiment, followed in his footsteps, and the 239th Regiment was destroyed!
Another hour later, the entire 238th Regiment was wiped out!
There were more than 20,000 troops in the 41st Division. Before night fell, they were eaten by the main force of the 386th Brigade and the Ping An Group!
Although the Brigadier's main force of more than 10,000 fought this battle, less than half of it was left. The Ping An cluster also lost more than 2,000 troops again, and the cavalry regiment only had more than 400 cavalry left. However, the entire battlefield still erupted. Cheers all day long!
Annihilating two divisions of the Little Devils in one battle, they once again created a new miracle!
