The second wave of Japanese aircraft soon arrived at the Yinmagou battlefield.
Six planes broke through the smoke and headed straight for the ground road.
The Japanese obviously wanted to take advantage of the huge losses suffered by the ground air defense forces to destroy all the equipment and ammunition left by the 106th Regiment on the road in one go and complete the bombing mission.
“Dong dong dong… da da da…”
As a result, as soon as they broke out of the smoke, the hail of bullets fired from the anti-aircraft machine guns and light and heavy machine guns formed an airtight fire net around them.
"Rumble..."
On the spot, two planes were blown up and turned into two huge fireballs that slowly fell.
"Baga...the ground anti-aircraft firepower was not severely damaged, we were fooled..." the Japanese leader who launched the attack shouted while operating the aircraft to climb, with panic on his face!
"Rumble..."
Another plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and turned into an orange-red fireball.
"Bang bang bang..."
A string of bullets hit the wing of the squad leader's plane, making a crisp metallic impact sound, and a row of bullet holes were punched out of the wing at the same time.
Big beads of sweat flowed down the captain's forehead like rain.
His expression was very nervous, and his hands holding the aircraft's control column began to tremble unconsciously. He maneuvered the aircraft to dodge left and right, avoiding ground anti-aircraft fire as much as possible, and returned to the smoke-filled high altitude.
No matter what you do, the more nervous you are, the more likely it is that something will happen, and flying in a stance is no exception.
The squad leader piloted the plane and just dodged a string of bullets flying from the front, but he did not dodge a string of bullets coming from the side.
The fuselage and the bullet came into close contact again.
After a "bang bang bang..." metal collision sound, the cab was directly penetrated by three bullet holes.
One of the bullets left the aircraft's cockpit unabated and hit the squad leader's thigh.
A heartbreaking pain quickly spread throughout his body.
There was more and more cold sweat on the squad leader's forehead. He gritted his teeth, resisted the pain caused by the wound, and continued to fly the plane towards the thick smoke...
The squad leader was lucky enough to return to high altitude and fly out of the effective range of ground anti-aircraft fire.
But because no one had taken care of the gun muzzle on his thigh, blood gushed out like a fountain, quickly staining his pants red.
As more and more blood flows out of the body, the captain's face becomes paler and his physical strength is slowly passing away...
After a while, my eyes became blurry, and the hands holding the aircraft control lever began to lose control. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't continue to operate the aircraft...
"Ono-kun...what's wrong with you..." The squadron leader's reminder soon sounded on the squadron's radio headset.
The Ono he refers to is the Japanese squad leader whose thigh was injured.
Because I can't operate the plane as I want...
The plane that had just returned to high altitude seemed to have suddenly lost control and crashed towards the ground.
No matter how the squadron leader called, the plane that quickly hit the ground did not change at all, as if it had lost all movement in an instant...
"Rumble..."
The plane hit the river on the other side of Yinmagou. A violent explosion sounded at the same time. The fuselage burned rapidly and turned into a huge fireball.
One minute later, the first round of air strikes launched by the second wave of Japanese aircraft ended with their disastrous defeat.
Six planes launched attacks at the same time. They originally thought they could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory. Taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower, which was severely damaged, they completely destroyed the equipment and ammunition left by the 106th Regiment on the road.
As a result, not only did they fail to complete the bombing mission, but they were severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces, suffering heavy losses and almost annihilating the entire army.
"Sir..." The captain of the third team asked immediately as he had roughly figured out the situation on the ground from the only pilot left in the attacking force.
"The air defense troops deployed by the Eighth Route Army in Yinmagou were not severely damaged..."
"Or it may have been severely damaged before, but now the losses have been made up..."
"Should we continue to attack...please give us an order..."
The squadron leader was also hesitant...
The order he received was to destroy all the equipment and ammunition in Yinmagou at all costs.
But the telegram made it very clear that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower had been severely damaged. All they needed to do was take advantage of your illness to kill you and complete the bombing mission at the minimum cost.
As a result, the air defense position deployed by the Eighth Route Army in Yinmagou was still intact, and it was still waiting for its attack.
This situation is based on the intelligence content reported by the headquarters.
Since the information provided by Shangfeng was wrong and he used this reason to suspend the operation, no one would find him in trouble.
But in this way, the five aircraft he had just lost were lost in vain, and the squadron leader felt a little unwilling.
As the captain of the aviation squadron, with the rank of major on his shoulders, he has his own sense of honor and principles of leading troops.
The aviation squadron lost five aircraft in one air raid, but in the end no benefits were obtained. Not even a single Eighth Route Army soldier was eliminated. It would be very embarrassing for the news to spread.
After much thought, he felt that he could not just evacuate the Yinmagou battlefield in such a dejected manner.
Even if the bombing mission cannot be completed, we must find a way to destroy several Eighth Route Army air defense positions.
Immediately gave the order to the radio communication system: "The fourth team covers...the third team continues to attack..."
"First blow up the Eighth Route Army air defense positions, and then attack the equipment and ammunition left by the 106th Regiment on the road..."
Five minutes later, the Japanese squadron leader took four planes to leave the Yinmagou battlefield, and the remaining eight planes all stayed on the Yinmagou battlefield...
…………
The former enemy headquarters of the 6th Army Division in Yinzhong.
After confirming that the remaining four planes of the Little Devils had completely disappeared, Huang Yu and Kong Jie put down their telescopes at the same time.
With the experience of dealing with the Japanese bombing last time, Huang Yu did not need to give orders this time. The troops hidden around the air defense positions rushed to the battlefield as soon as the Japanese planes withdrew, rescued the wounded, repaired the air defense positions, and replenished light and heavy machine guns...
"Xiao Huang..." Kong Jie asked, looking at an air defense position not far away that was emitting black smoke.
"Do you think Neji Okamura will send planes to launch a third round of bombings at Yinmagou?"
"Our losses in this round of bombing are obviously much higher than in the previous round."
"Several Japanese fighter planes had obviously been hit and lost power, but they still crashed into our air defense positions..."
"Individual bunkers can help soldiers escape ordinary bombings, but they cannot escape the almost suicidal bombings of the Japs."
"Several aerial bombs detonated together with the remaining fuel of the plane. Even if the troops hid in the bunker immediately, they would not survive...
"I estimate that there are very few air defense companies left that were hit by Japanese planes..."
"If the Japanese launch another two rounds of these desperate bombings, our air defense forces will definitely suffer heavy losses..."
Huang Yu shook his head and answered confidently: "The North China Front also has a large number of aircraft equipped with it. No matter how much Okamura Neiji launches, it is impossible to lose dozens of aircraft in a row just to bomb a batch of equipment and ammunition. It would be too much of a loss..."
