In fact, the atmosphere at the Kwantung Army Aviation Command at this moment is indeed heavy.
All the staff members walked cautiously and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Chief of Staff Major General Takada was also very cautious.
What I was most worried about was that some bad news would suddenly come from the front line. I had to specially arrange staff to guard the radio.
If there is really bad news, it must be intercepted first. Then arrangements can be made based on the situation.
Why?
The commander, Lieutenant General Oizumi Rokushou, was very agitated.
This Kwantung Army aviation commander had already been reprimanded after the Nomonhan failure last year.
Although he has not been transferred to the reserve force, it has already made Oizumi Rokushou very nervous.
If there is no success in this battle, he may really be transferred to the reserve force and return to the country to sit on the bench.
Ground attacks are obviously effective.
There is no doubt that Chinese troops on the ground have suffered heavy losses.
Their anti-aircraft machine guns were decimated.
Their casualties were also very high.
It can be said that the Kwantung Army aviation has not encountered a real opponent.
The issue is……
My own losses were a bit big.
There are a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns on Tubal Road. Even if a large number of them are destroyed, there are still a large number of them.
This resulted in the aviation force having to enter a war of attrition.
Because they had to fight against the anti-aircraft machine guns on Tubal Road, the tanks and heavy artillery of the Chinese army on the ground were not destroyed.
It’s not that I don’t want to.
There is no chance.
How to say?
Before destroying the ground anti-aircraft firepower, attacking the tanks and heavy artillery on the ground will cause the aviation force to fall into another trap. This will cause even greater losses.
Tubalu is very cunning and vicious.
They did not hide their tanks and heavy artillery at all. They placed them undisguisedly on the ground.
Japanese aircraft could launch attacks without any obstacles.
However, once you enter the attack route, you will immediately be greeted by dense anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides.
This is a trap.
It's also a conspiracy.
Tubalu knew it was a trap.
The Japanese army also knew it was a trap.
At least half of the Japanese aircraft that were shot down were shot down by a storm of bullets when they entered the attack position.
dilemma.
Or first deal with the anti-aircraft machine guns on Tubal Road.
This will minimize casualties.
But the results were not that encouraging.
How can we achieve such a result as dispatching more than 30 planes and blowing up dozens of machine guns?
People will laugh at you...
Either they ignore the anti-aircraft machine guns on Tubal Road and madly attack the tanks and heavy artillery on the ground.
This will result in greater casualties.
However, the results are gratifying and have also been explained to the outside world.
Otherwise, we would have lost more than a dozen aircraft but not destroyed the tanks and heavy artillery on Tubal Road. That would be hard to explain.
"Commander..."
"Order the second wave to attack immediately."
"Tie!"
The chief of staff bent down and agreed.
It seems that the commander is preparing for a battle with Tubalu.
Duolun is the order of battle of the Kwantung Army. It is a genuine Kwantung Army. No one in the Kwantung Army can bear to be bullied like this by Tubal Road.
If the aviation force does not make some achievements, it will be difficult to explain to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
As we all know, the Kwantung Army headquarters is almost on the same level as the base camp.
The previous commanders of the Kwantung Army could even disobey orders from the base camp. The newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Yoshijiro Umezu, initially reversed this situation. He is a dove. However, most of the Kwantung Army commanders at all levels have their own
A set of ideas. Aviation is no exception.
"Order them to focus on attacking tanks and heavy artillery."
"Tie!"
The chief of staff respectfully agreed.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with the commander's order.
In fact, this should have been done long ago.
Even if your own losses are relatively large, you should destroy the tanks and heavy artillery on Tubal Road first.
Only in this way can we have "achievements"!
Only then can you get it!
The order was issued quickly.
The remaining Japanese aircraft quickly changed tactics.
"Huh?"
"they……"
Feihongjin sensed it immediately.
The Japanese aircraft seemed to have given up attacking anti-aircraft machine guns and instead attacked tanks and heavy artillery.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two aerial bombs fell in succession.
An aerial bomb accurately hit a 105mm howitzer and blew it to pieces.
The remains of the howitzer were blown dozens of meters high.
Ji Ya:……
Ulan:……
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, one of Tubal Road's heavy artillery was killed.
good!
Keep going! Keep up the good work...
"puff……"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the space.
But it was the Japanese plane that dropped the bomb that was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun, burst into flames in the air, and then crashed to the ground.
"boom……"
Explosion. A ball of fire. The machine was destroyed and everyone was killed.
Yes, one for one.
One aircraft is replaced with a 105mm howitzer.
I don’t know if this business can be done well or not.
It feels like I'm at a loss...
There was no one near the howitzer on Tubal Road.
All the tanks and heavy artillery were placed unabashedly on the field, waiting for the Japanese aircraft to bomb.
The goal is obvious.
Japanese aircraft could easily dive and drop bombs.
The issue is……
There are many anti-aircraft machine guns around.
They would fire fiercely when Japanese aircraft dived to drop bombs.
Each Japanese aircraft that dived to drop bombs was manned by at least thirty anti-aircraft machine guns. The hit rate was still very high. Once it was hit, it would burst into flames.
All Japanese aircraft could not withstand fire from 12.7 mm machine guns.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Another bomb dropped.
This is one of the few remaining bombs from the Japanese invaders aircraft.
Previously, Japanese aircraft had consumed most of their ammunition in order to attack anti-aircraft machine guns.
After the explosion, a tank was enveloped in thick smoke.
No one knows if the tank was destroyed, but it was certainly injured.
The distance between the location of the aerial bomb explosion and the tank is less than ten meters. It will definitely cause some damage to the tank.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is...
The Japanese aircraft that dived to drop bombs was hit again, burst into flames, and then hit the ground and exploded.
"Ding!"
"You destroyed a Japanese aircraft..."
"You gain 5 million yuan..."
Information pours in.
Zhang Chu's heart stopped and he felt relieved.
The Japanese aircraft focused on attacking tanks and howitzers, which was the result he most wanted to see.
Although the loss is a bit big, but...
There are few casualties!
Almost no one will die.
If the tank is blown up, it will be blown up. I will add more later.
The same goes for howitzers.
As long as there are people, nothing else matters.
but……
There are still few people!
The population outside the Great Wall is simply not enough!
Still have to get in!
Once everything is sorted here, we have to go to Jidong.
Jidong is densely populated and has many plains, and it is under the eyes of the Kwantung Army. Fighting there is a pleasure.
"boom……"
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
However, a Japanese aircraft crashed down from high altitude and destroyed a tank.
Zhang Chu:???
Plane hits tank?
That plane was clearly not hit!
He actually knocked himself down from a high altitude. Traded a plane for a tank? Do you want to be so cruel?
Besides, is this a good deal?
You are a plane!
Why are airplanes more expensive than tanks?
Not to mention there are pilots?
The value of a pilot is higher than the aircraft itself, right?
Were the Japanese pilots mentally retarded?
suicide?
Hit a tank?
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was another loud noise.
Another Japanese plane crashed down and blew up a tank to pieces.
Also crushed at the same time was the pilot himself.
Zhang Chu:???
Somewhat confused.
It seems to be somewhat understood, but not quite understood.
