Zhang Zizhong sighed with some envy: "Brother, your heavy artillery group played a big role this time. I think that after the half-hour shelling, the Hatan Detachment will probably be nearly half of the casualties. Then tens of thousands of troops will surround us and completely eliminate the Hatan Detachment. *1*1*"

Zhang Yunfei smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, after the shelling is over, although the Hatan Detachment suffered nearly half of the casualties, there are still thousands of Japanese detachments, and they will definitely fight for trapped beasts. If our troops rush up, there will inevitably be certain casualties. I think after the shelling is over, we will send our flight brigade to attack and hit the Hatan Detachment fiercely. After the violent shelling and air strike, most of the casualties will be killed or injured, and our morale will be very low. At this time, we will rush up and wipe out the Japanese detachments."

Zhang Yunfei's words made Zhang Zizhong's eyes lit up. Zhang Zizhong thought that with the fighter as a killer, the Hatan Detachment might be directly crippled and may lose its combat effectiveness. When the troops rushed forward, the casualties of the soldiers would definitely be very small, and it might even be small.

Zhang Yunfei felt Zhang Zizhong's admiration, and smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Order, all fighter planes of the Flight Brigade will be launched, carry air bombs, and launch an air strike on the Hotan Detachment."

"Yes!" A combat staff officer next to him immediately stood at attention and replied loudly: "I'll call the Flight Brigade right away."

"After answering the phone, I want to talk to Comrade Gao Zhihang in person." Zhang Yunfei thought for a while and immediately added.

Yichang Airport. All Mustang fighters have been back for several hours. The ground crew has filled the plane with fuel and loaded ammunition. The attack at noon has made all the pilots very excited. More than a dozen Mustang fighter pilots carrying out the mission are still vividly describing the combat situation.

Next to these pilots, many pilots who had no chance to attack were also surrounded by these pilots. They were very excited and wished that the fighter could fly the fighter himself to hit the abominable Japanese.

The flight captain Gao Zhihang also smiled at the airport command center. He was in a very good mood. Many pilots "gathered to chat" in the dormitory, but Gao Zhihang did not stop him. Instead, he agreed happily.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang out with a rapid ringtone, and Gao Zhihang picked up the phone, "This is the Flight Brigade, I am Gao Zhihang. {http:

"Hello, Captain Gao! This is the command center. Now the commander-in-chief wants to talk to you personally to convey important combat tasks."

Seeing that it was Zhang Yunfei and himself who were on the same phone call, Gao Zhihang immediately put away the smile on his face, stood attentively, holding the microphone to listen to Zhang Yunfei's assignment of the task.

Zhang Yunfei's majestic voice immediately came from the phone, "Zhihang. Now we have arranged important tasks for your flight brigade. At present, the Botan Detachment has been surrounded by us in a narrow area less than ten kilometers east of Jingzhou and an area of ​​only ten square kilometers. Your mission is to immediately send all fighter jets, carry aviation bombs, and conduct air strikes on the Botan Detachment."

"Yes, please rest assured, the Commander-in-Chief, our flight brigade must have completed the mission beautifully." Gao Zhihang replied confidently.

After putting down the phone, Gao Zhihang couldn't hide his excitement on his face and said to a communication soldier next to him: "Roll the assembly alarm. All pilots gather immediately, and there are important combat missions."

Then, a rapid alarm sounded at the airport, and all the personnel immediately took their place, and the pilots who were still talking loudly. When they heard the assembly alarm, they knew that there was another combat mission. Everyone immediately looked happy and lined up in an orderly manner to run towards the airport assembly location.

When everyone walked to the designated meeting place on the apron with neat steps, they found that their captain was already standing there. Everyone quickly stood up. Forty or fifty pilots stood in neat rows, looking at Gao Zhihang with anticipation.

Seeing that everyone had already stood in the team, Gao Zhihang looked around and said with a faint smile: "Comrades, we received a call from the commander-in-chief just now. Our flight brigade has important combat missions."

As soon as Gao Zhihang's words fell, all the pilots' expressions of excitement and expectation became even stronger. Everyone thought to themselves that there was indeed an important task, and they could fly the plane to fight the hateful Japanese again.

Seeing everyone's expectations, Gao Zhihang stopped keeping it away and said, "At present, the Botan Detachment has been surrounded by us in a narrow area less than ten kilometers east of Jingzhou and an area of ​​only ten square kilometers. The commander-in-chief ordered us to take all the Mustang fighters and bring air bombs to carry out air strikes on the Botan Detachment."

As soon as Gao Zhihang's words stopped, everyone started to cheer, asked for a fight, and asked for a plane to fly. Gao Zhihang was very happy to see everyone's enthusiasm for fighting, but Gao Zhihang already had his own plans in his heart. All the pilots who took the attack this time would send pilots who did not participate in the morning mission.

So, Gao Zhihang raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to keep quiet, and then said: "Comrades, this time, I will send pilots who have not yet attacked today to the air strike mission. I will start calling the name below..."

As Gao Zhihang reported the names of pilots one by one, several happy and sad scenes suddenly appeared. Any pilot who was hit by the point seemed very happy. Any pilot who was not hit by the point was disappointed and looked at the pilots who were hit by the point by the point of Gao Zhihang with great envy.

This time, Gao Zhihang sent pilots who had not performed the mission today, mainly because the mission was relatively difficult, and it was not aerial combat with Japanese fighters, but only an air strike against Japanese ground troops. With the purpose of training, Gao Zhihang took turns to arrange pilots to perform missions.

The pilots who got the mission took neat steps and ran towards their own fighter planes, skillfully climbed onto a Mustang fighter jet that had been prepared. One by one, one by one, drove to the runway, and after a few hundred meters, they flew into the air. After more than a dozen fighter jets completed their formation in the air, they flew towards the Hatan Detachment.

At this time, there were large pits everywhere on the Hatan Detachment's position, and the overwhelmed trucks were burning. Now, the artillery regiment of the Third Infantry Division had just stopped for half an hour. Hatan Shigeichi looked at the heavy losses with a pale face, and his heart was filled with despair.

There were crowds of Chinese teams staring at covetous people, at least ten times their number. After half an hour of shelling, the remaining Japanese detachments in the Hatan Detachment were less than 5,000. Almost half of the five thousand were injured, and there were also many baggage troops and transport personnel.

Now Shigeichi Hatan began to feel a little regretful. Shigeichi Hatan thought to himself that he was so confused at the beginning. He heard the number of the 36th Group and actually abandoned the city and retreated eastward. If he had relied on the solid walls of Jingzhou City, this might not have been the result.

Shigeichi Hatan, who was very regretful, didn't know that if he had defended Jingzhou City, he would have been annihilated by Zhang Yunfei. Since Zhang Yunfei chose to take the initiative to attack the Hatan Detachment, he would have the absolute certainty to eat the Hatan Detachment in a short period of time. Now Zhang Yunfei not only has airplanes, but also a large number of 105mm howitzers.

The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him also looked ugly and knew that he might have to explain it here this time. So the Japanese Chief of Staff slowly pulled out his command knife and prepared to commit suicide for the sake of his so-called dignity of a warrior.

When Hatan Shigeichi next to him saw the actions of the Japanese Chief of Staff, he immediately cursed in anger: "Baga, what do you want to do?"

The Japanese Chief of Staff smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency Commander, we are in a desperate situation. Please allow me to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

When Hatan Shigeichi heard the words of the Japanese Chief of Staff, he felt silent. His Hatan detachment was really in a desperate situation. Perhaps septidum was a more decent way to die.

At this time, the roar of the plane came faintly from the sky. Could it be the plane of the China Team again? Hatan Shigei quickly took his telescope and looked at it according to the sound. He saw more than a dozen planes appearing in the sky in the distance. In the telescope, he could already tell that it was the plane of the China Team.

Shigeichi Hatan, who was already desperate, was filled with anger when he saw so many planes of the China-** team coming. His Hatan detachment was almost crippled. The China-** team sent so many planes to bomb, which was obviously trying to tease him.

The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him saw so many Chinese planes coming from the sky, and the Nata Detachment made even worse. So the Japanese Chief of Staff gritted his teeth and stabbed the sharp samurai sword into his fat and white belly, and drew a standard cross, and then slowly fell toward the east.

Seeing this scene, Hatan Shigeichi was full of despair and trembled slightly, he took out his samurai sword, unbuttoned his clothes, exposed his belly, and hesitated for a long time before he sent the samurai sword into his stomach. He finally ended up with him.

Some Japanese commanders next to him saw that their commander and chief of staff had all had their stomachs cut, and they took out their samurai swords, faced the east, knelt in a row, and committed suicide by cutting them.

The rest of the Japanese saw that Chinese planes were getting closer and closer, and so many senior Japanese officers were collectively seizing the stomach, so many Japanese soldiers ran away in panic and fell into a state of madness and frenzy.

A little ghost communication soldier was full of despair and sadness when he saw this scene. After insisting on sending the last telegram to Wuhan, he was completely defeated.

The Mustang fighter jets in the sky had lowered their altitude at this time and completely flew over the Hatan Detachment. The pilots of the Mustang fighter jets began to drop bombs at places where the Japanese were densely packed, and smashed heavy aviation bombs into the Japanese crowd. (To be continued...)
