Dozens of pilots were checking every plane on the tarmac.
In order to maximize the results and reduce losses.
They numbered the more than 100 aircraft on the tarmac according to their advanced level.
The most advanced batch of aircraft first flew back to the Yi Zhong base, and then returned to fly the second batch of aircraft.
Even if Okamura Neiji mobilized troops from other places to counterattack Beiping Airport and bombarded the apron with artillery fire from a long distance, everyone could still keep a batch of the most advanced aircraft.
"Batalion Commander Wang..." Zhang Dabiao panted and ran to Battalion Commander Wang of the 1st Battalion of the Aviation Regiment.
"I have followed your instructions and refueled the first batch of fighter planes that are about to take off, and hung up the aerial bombs...The planes will be able to take off and return to the Wing Center base at dawn."
Battalion Commander Wang glanced at his watch and ordered to the guard beside him: "It will be dawn soon..."
"Notify all pilots to prepare for takeoff..."
"Let's go support Deputy Chief of Staff Huang first..."
"Deputy Commander Huang robbed all the planes at the airport for us. Now there are Japs who want to take back Peiping Airport and destroy our fighter planes. Deputy Chief of Staff Huang cannot bear all the pressure."
"The enemy who happened to be returning to the airport to support us is on our way back to the base area in the center of the wing."
"A plane can carry six aerial bombs. On the way back, I'll hit them all on the head with the puppet troops in the past. Not a single one is left. Anyway, there are too many aerial bombs in the airport ammunition depot to take away. Instead of blowing them up, it's better to throw them away.
Give it to the little devils and let them have a taste of being bombed."
"Buzz buzz..."
The dull roar of engines soon sounded on the airport runway. Battalion Commander Wang operated a bomber to rush out of the runway first, flying into the sky with a loud roar, and then began to circle above the airport, waiting for other fighter planes to take off and rush to the battlefield together.
.
The last ones to take off were two transport planes.
As soon as they took off, the more than 40 aircraft split into two formations and quickly disappeared from the sight of the ground troops.
…………
On the road less than 20 kilometers away from Peiping Airport, a Japanese and puppet army of 2,000 people was advancing rapidly.
More than a dozen tanks led the way, followed by more than a thousand Japanese infantry, and more than a dozen mountain field artillery pieces followed closely behind the Japanese infantry. About one regiment of the Imperial Army was in charge of the rear.
"Buzz buzz..."
A burst of aircraft roared from far to near, suddenly coming from the direction of the airport.
The Japanese and puppet troops who were on their way suddenly became excited. Everyone thought that the planes that were about to arrive on the battlefield were their own people and came to escort them.
"Yoshi, it's our plane..."
A Japanese squadron leader put down his telescope and introduced it to his subordinates.
The tired team immediately burst into cheers.
The roaring air force was like a shot of stimulant, giving them confidence in their next attack.
"Buzz buzz..."
The roar of the plane became louder and louder, sounding like thunder above the heads of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Looking at the silver-white planes whizzing past everyone's heads, the cheers from the Japanese and puppet troops became even more intense, and some even waved their military flags and hats directly at them to greet the pilots in the sky.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, two thick tongues of flame suddenly shot out from the plane. Because the plane roared over everyone's heads at a very low altitude, the dull sound of aircraft gunfire reached the ears of the Japanese and puppet troops at the same time.
Before the cheering Japanese and puppet troops could react from their excitement, the thick bullets fired from the plane had already hit the ground.
The two tongues of fire just hit the Japanese and puppet troops on the ground who were advancing rapidly in two formations.
As long as the thick bullets hit the body of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, they might break off limbs or legs, or even cut off half of the body.
In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty little Japs were hit by the rain of bullets fired from the plane. Many of them did not even utter a scream, but fell directly into a pool of blood and turned into corpses.
Facing the surprise attack, facing death at close range, and smelling the smell of blood that quickly spread in the air, all the Japanese and puppet troops were confused.
I don’t know why the plane in the sky would shoot at my own people.
"Dong dong dong..."
The second plane followed closely behind the first plane and continued to shoot at the marching troops on the road.
Two tongues of flame instantly cleared two paths of blood on the highway, making it as miserable as you want.
The screams produced when a string of aerial bombs landed suddenly sounded above the heads of the Japanese and puppet troops. The thunderous explosions soon spread on the road. Three orange-red fireballs rose into the sky from the ground, and billowing black smoke rose from the impact point at the same time.
rise.
Centered on the impact point, all the soldiers within a radius of twenty to thirty meters were blown over and fell to the ground motionless. Eighty percent of them had turned into corpses.
The soldiers further away were lying on the ground screaming, obviously losing their fighting ability.
At this time, the fool also knew that the plane in the sky belonged to the enemy, not one of his own.
"Bageya Road, we have been fooled..." a little Japanese officer shouted with panic on his face.
"Everyone, disperse quickly and avoid the air attack. The plane in the sky is not ours... wuwuwu... rumble..."
More and more aerial bombs hit the ground with screaming sounds.
The killing radius of up to thirty to forty meters allows them to explode into a large area on the battlefield.
Although the Japanese and puppet troops on the road are already dispersed, each roaring aerial bomb can still take away the lives of nearly ten Japanese and puppet troops.
The entire bombing lasted for ten minutes before it ended.
When the last plane disappeared over the battlefield, more than two hundred huge craters appeared on the huge battlefield, just like the craters dotted on the surface of the moon, with several soldier corpses dumped around each crater...
The Japanese leader managed to escape the air raid just now. Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, his face quickly turned pale and he shouted: "Rescue the wounded quickly..."
"The Eighth Route Army is so ruthless. They dispatched thirty or forty planes to attack us. They want to blow us to death..."
Ten minutes later, the two surviving squadron commanders returned to the group leader one after another with solemn expressions.
He lowered his head and hesitated for several seconds before summoning the courage to report: "Sir..."
"The losses...have been calculated..."
"The tank unit and artillery unit were attacked by enemy aircraft. The sixteen tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the tank unit were devastated and the entire army was wiped out."
"The artillery brigade still has 4 artillery pieces that can continue to be used."
"The infantry casualties exceeded 60%, and less than 400 people were left to continue fighting."
"Your army suffered more than 40% casualties, but hundreds of them fled for their lives, leaving only more than 200 people left to continue fighting..."
"Including artillery, the entire army has less than 700 men left to continue fighting, and almost all heavy equipment has been lost."
"Sir, with the little strength we have left to attack the Peking Airport, it is tantamount to being afraid of hitting a rock and courting death. Please tell me, sir..."
