Chapter 1029 Neji Okamura: You can’t lose your wife and lose your troops at the same time
"There is an ambush on the ground..."
Although the squadron leader of the Japanese flying squadron did not see the battle scene shrouded in smoke, he clearly heard the thundering roar after the plane was blown up. His face suddenly turned pale and he cried out.
Seeing the third plane rushing out of the smoke with thick smoke, looking shaky, the squadron leader became more certain and judged.
"Sir..."
The second team leader's report immediately sounded in the radio headset.
"The Eighth Route Army deployed anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, but the smoke was too thick. We were unable to locate the specific location of the anti-aircraft position and launch an accurate attack... Please give instructions, sir, if the troops want to continue launching attacks..."
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and ordered: "Of course we must continue to attack..."
"Destroying all the equipment and ammunition lost by the 106th Regiment is a fatal order given to us by the front army headquarters. We must complete it even if we try our best..."
"Only by breaking through the low-altitude smoke and continuing to attack, can we lock the Eighth Route Army's air defense positions, launch attacks from the air, kill them, and then destroy all the equipment and ammunition lost by the 106th Wing..."
"Continue to attack..."
"But we must strengthen our vigilance and be vigilant..."
"Launch an attack when you discover the Eighth Route Army's air defense positions. Do not hesitate to create conditions for subsequent aviation bombing of Yinmagou!"
"Hai..." The firm and decisive reply of the captain of the second team quickly sounded in the radio call headset.
"Weng buzzing..." The roar of the planes over Yinmagou suddenly became louder, and three more planes broke through the smoke and plunged straight into the ground.
This time Huang Yu did not continue to command the air defense troops remotely, but allowed them to fight freely in company units.
"Dong dong dong..."
As soon as the three Little Japanese planes broke through the smoke interception and entered the field of view of the ground air defense troops, the sound of light and heavy machine gun and anti-aircraft machine gun firing rang out on the ground.
Hundreds of tongues of flames split into three, and simultaneously opened fire on the nearest Jaap aircraft.
A hail of bullets instantly enveloped the three planes, making their fuselages crackle.
But the three little Japanese pilots are not vegetarians. They would rather be killed themselves than destroy one or two air defense positions.
He stared at one of the air defense positions and dived towards the ground. If he had the opportunity to drop the bomb, he would drop the bomb. If he didn't have the chance to drop the bomb, he would crash into the ground air defense position. He would rather be killed himself than pull a few Eighth Route Army troops to back him up.
"Rumble..."
Unfortunately, they still underestimated the ground anti-aircraft firepower. As soon as a plane broke through the thick smoke, an anti-aircraft machine gun bullet hit the fuel tank and turned into a fireball on the spot...
Although another plane successfully dropped the bomb, its engine exploded on the way up. The engine suddenly lost power and emitted a thick black smoke...
It was almost breaking through the black smoke and returning to the sky.
As a result, due to loss of power, it fell directly to the ground, and finally hit the Yinma River, about fifty meters away from Yinmagou.
The third plane had the best luck and successfully dropped an aerial bomb, broke through the black smoke, and returned to high altitude.
Huang Yu was not surprised at all by this result.
After all, the planes are in the sky, and no matter how hard you try, you can't wipe them all out just by relying on ground air defense forces.
The captain of the Japanese aviation squadron was also happier than before.
Three aircraft launched an attack, and although two were killed, they also successfully destroyed several Eighth Route Army air defense positions.
This is much better than getting nothing just now...
If we continue to attack like this, the next battle will definitely become easier and smoother.
He confidently ordered into the wireless microphone: "The third team continues to attack the Eighth Route Army air defense positions on the ground..."
"The fourth team is ready to attack..."
"The aircraft that successfully completed the bombing mission continued with the second round of bombing..."
"I immediately contacted the Aviation Command and asked them to send more planes to attack Yinmagou..."
Twenty minutes later, only three of the twelve Little Japanese planes completed the bombing mission, dropped all the aerial bombs they brought, and returned successfully.
After confirming that the roar of the aircraft overhead had completely disappeared, Huang Yu immediately ordered: "The response troops will immediately enter the air defense position...rescue the wounded..."
"The reserve machine gunners immediately filled up the gaps in each machine gun position and were ready for battle again..."
"The Japanese just lost nine aircraft, but they did not destroy the weapons and ammunition left by the 106th Wing on the road..."
"I lost my wife and lost my troops..."
"Neji Okamura will definitely not give up..."
"80% will send a second wave of planes to bomb Yinmagou..."
"The Japanese feel that they have just severely damaged our air defense forces, and the second wave of aircraft will definitely complete the bombing mission successfully."
"I didn't do what he wanted. I spread anti-aircraft firepower all over the battlefield again, and let the second wave of Japanese planes hit their heads here again and cause bloodshed..."
Kong Jie nodded repeatedly after hearing this, completely forgetting that he was the commander. Huang Yu was just the deputy chief of staff, and he readily ordered to his subordinates: "Why are you still standing here..."
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang's order is my order... Just do whatever he tells you to do and execute it immediately..."
"I will punish whoever has a problem with the task in hand..."
…………
Japanese Army Baoding Garrison Headquarters.
The deputy chief of staff rushed to Neiji Okamura with a look of panic on his face, holding the message that the operator had just translated in his hand, and hurriedly reported it before Neiji Okamura could speak.
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"An urgent call from the Aviation Command... Something happened to the first wave of planes we bombed at Yinmagou..."
"Only three of the twelve planes returned, and the remaining nine planes were all destroyed..."
"The Eighth Route Army set off a large amount of thick smoke in Yinmagou, blocking out the sky and covering the ground troops' transfer of weapons and ammunition, making it impossible for our aircraft to bomb normally."
“A large number of anti-aircraft positions were also deployed on both sides of Yinmagou using anti-aircraft machine guns and light and heavy machine guns.”
"As soon as our plane bursts into the smoke, it will be hit by dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and the losses will be very heavy..."
"But our loss is not without meaning."
"According to reports from the aviation forces that were withdrawn, they have severely damaged the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces..."
"As long as we send out the second wave of planes, we will definitely be able to successfully complete the bombing mission..."
"The aviation force requests instructions from the headquarters..."
"Should we send out a second wave of planes immediately..."
Okamura Neji ordered without hesitation: "Of course we must send..."
"If we cannot take the opportunity to destroy the weapons and ammunition left by the 106th Wing in Yinmagou... the nine aircraft that the aviation force has lost will be in vain..."
"The North China Front will never engage in a loss-making business involving losing both the wife and the troops..."
"Let them immediately send out the second aviation squadron to destroy all the weapons and ammunition left by the 106th Wing on the road..."
The deputy chief of staff seemed to have guessed that Okamura Neiji would do this, and immediately accepted the order: "I will make arrangements now..."
