Chapter 1036 Huang Yu: Cripple the Little Japanese Air Force
Kong Jie looked at the map and asked with satisfaction: "With a bonfire on the ground for piloting, it will definitely be no problem for the flight group to attack Longkou Town."
"Is the return flight next?"
"Have the ground piloting units from the two reserve airports on Longkou Town Road been in place?"
"If there are still troops that are not in place, how long will it take at the latest to arrive?"
The combat staff on the side immediately replied: "The slowest unit only needs two hours to prepare, ensuring that it will not affect the flight group's evacuation of Longkou Town and its safe return to the reserve airport."
Huang Yu answered: "Captain, don't worry..."
"The flight group has been fighting inside our base area from beginning to end tonight, and the ground pilot troops are also inside the base area. Except for the little Japanese intelligence personnel, they will not be attacked by any attack."
"After this large-scale sweep, not only the main force used by Okamura Neji to encircle and suppress us suffered heavy casualties, but the intelligence personnel also suffered heavy casualties during the operation while searching for our main force and the airport."
"The few remaining intelligence officers have no time to hide, let alone attack our pilot force."
Kong Jie had absolute trust in Huang Yu's answer and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Is the flight team ready?"
Huang Yu nodded and said: "All the fighter planes that can take off are filled with fuel, and the aerial bombs are ready. They can take off at any time."
"Fortunately, we brought back dozens of trucks of aerial bombs and aviation fuel during our last raid on Taiyuan. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have the strength to complete this bombing operation."
"All pilots are ready for combat."
"All materials that can be transferred from Chenjiazhuang Airport have been transferred to the reserve airport."
"There are only a dozen wooden planes parked on the runway, confusing the Japanese aviation force."
"All the light and heavy machine gun units that can be mobilized by the air defense forces and military divisions are also in place."
"In order to take the opportunity to destroy a few more Jaap planes, we prepared 21 air defense positions around the airport, with more than 250 light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns..."
"A large amount of ignition materials have also been prepared around Chenjiazhuang Extension."
"It is guaranteed that when the Japanese aviation troops arrive at the airport, the entire airport will be shrouded in smoke."
"If the Little Japanese aviation force wants to destroy Chenjiazhuang Airport and kill the first aviation regiment of our Eighth Route Army, it must stare at the anti-aircraft firepower of more than 200 light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for bombing."
"Then the losses of the Little Japanese Air Force will definitely be unprecedented."
Hearing this, Kong Jie's mind quickly flashed the image of Huang Yu using light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to severely damage the Japanese aviation force during the Yinmagou ambush battle.
I thought that the same scene would happen again at Chenjiagou Airport after dawn.
Moreover, the losses suffered by the Little Japanese Air Force here were likely to be much greater than in the battle at Yinmagou, and the whole person couldn't help but become excited.
He met Huang Yu's eyes and said expectantly: "Then I will wait and see at the headquarters..."
"Let's see how many little Japanese planes the Chenjiazhuang air defense battle can take down."
Huang Yu answered confidently: "At most twenty..."
"The intelligence personnel at the headquarters are keeping a close eye on the surrounding Jaap airports that may provide reinforcements to the battlefield. Okamura Neiji can at most dispatch twenty-five aircraft to bomb the Chenjiazhuang Airport."
"It's impossible for us to destroy all the incoming aircraft. Twenty should be enough."
"If we fight this battle well, it will be difficult for our military division to suffer any more air strikes from the Japs in the next three months."
"If the North China Front of the Little Japanese Army cannot get aircraft supplements in time, maybe our prevention and control pressure will be much less when we raid the Tianjin dock in the future."
…………
The Japanese military garrison in Longkou Town.
The two captains were fast asleep in their respective rooms.
The period that just passed was really stressful and tiring.
I lived on tenterhooks every day, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would raid me.
Now that the troops have begun to retreat, there are a large number of aircraft escorting overhead. The only road that can pursue everyone has also been retreated by the rear troops. It is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army's pursuit troops to catch up in a short time. The two captains can finally take a breath and sleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
With the wing headquarters as the center, more than 7,000 little Japs are stationed in squadron units around the town.
The artillery units are dispersed in groups.
Mountain field artillery and large-caliber heavy artillery all had their muzzles pointed up into the sky.
The gunners slept in their clothes around the campfire next to the gun emplacement.
In case the station is attacked, they don't even need to prepare. They can rush to the gun emplacement and join the battle.
The infantrymen also gathered around the campfire, holding rifles in their arms. Some were lying on the ground, and some were lying on their knees, sleeping soundly to accumulate strength for the retreat tomorrow.
Relatively speaking, the little Japanese guarding the position in Shanghai were more comfortable.
They hid in trenches and bunkers and slept with their clothes on. At least they had a place to protect themselves from the wind.
Looking down from the air, there are piles of blazing bonfires everywhere in the Japanese military garrison, which are connected together and look very beautiful.
"Buzz buzz..."
A roar suddenly sounded over the Japanese military station from far away.
The first person to react was the little devil stationed on patrol.
He raised his head and looked towards the sky where the sound came from.
"It's a plane...could our aviation force be able to fly at night?" some of the little patrolling Japs thought to themselves, completely unaware that these suddenly arriving planes might be from the Eighth Route Army.
In order not to affect the morale of the troops, only a few senior generals of the North China Front knew about the formation of the Eighth Route Army's flying regiment. Even the wing commanders they led did not know that the Eighth Route Army already had its own air force.
"Buzz buzz..."
The roar of the plane became louder and louder, and many sleeping little devils began to be awakened. They stared at the sky with their big confused eyes, and they were also not alert at all.
Also awakened by the roar were the two captains.
"Oda-kun, I've never heard that the aviation force can fly at night?" One of the commanders frowned.
"I haven't heard of it either..." Another captain answered.
"Maybe they are conducting common sense training at night. Maybe we will be able to get aviation support at night soon."
"If we fight against the Eighth Route Army again in the future, we won't be afraid of their night attacks."
The roaring above the head was too loud, and I couldn't sleep anyway. The wing commander who spoke first sat up from the bed: "How about we go watch the aviation night training together..."
The two captains hit it off immediately, put on their military uniforms, walked out of the room, and looked up at the dark night sky.
Unfortunately, they couldn't see anything except the roar of the plane.
"Buzz buzz..."
Just when the two of them were disappointed, the roar of the aircraft engine overhead suddenly became louder, and the sky-piercing scream sounded simultaneously over the station.
The two captains were both experienced veterans and were very familiar with this sound. Their faces suddenly turned pale, and one of the captains cried out: "Dive bombing..."
"Does the aviation force's night training also include dive bombing?"
