After the Japanese flying force suffered heavy losses, they left the Licheng airspace, and then the Eighth Route Army's aviation force secretly dispatched to successfully attack the large Japanese military airport in Shanghai.
The air battle in Licheng seemed to have ended in such a hurry.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
In fact, there were many exciting and thrilling battles in the battle against the Japanese flying troops in Licheng.
……
In the sky above Licheng, the Eighth Route Army's air defense troops and the Japanese flying troops were fighting fiercely.
The Eighth Route Army's Electric Exploration Command Center outside the city was equally busy.
Commander He of the 120th Division, Commander-in-Chief of the 35th Army and Chief of Staff Chen, as well as the Air Defense Commander-in-Chief from Yan'an, and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army also secretly came here to watch the battle from a distance.
The group even went to the communications office to wait for the arrival of the Eighth Route Army fighter formations to access radio communications, listen to the pilots' communications, and see who would set the record first, representing the Eighth Route Army Air Force's first air battle and shooting down the first Japanese plane.
Who was the first ace pilot of the Eighth Route Army to shoot down more than five Japanese fighter jets?
With a cigarette under his arm and bright eyes, the big leader decided to personally award commemorative trophies to the first pilot who shot down an enemy plane and the first ace pilot, and notified the entire army of their praise.
The two sides fought fiercely to the point of excitement.
The sparks from the cigarette butt had almost burned to the filter, and the boss didn't even notice. It wasn't until his fingertips felt a burning pain that he remembered that he still had a cigarette in his hand!
Mr. Lin Weiquan, the front-line commander of the Eighth Route Army in the city, watched the Japanese conduct exploratory air raids from 7 a.m. to around 10 a.m., gradually investing in air power, which was a bit of a tactic to paralyze the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces.
He felt more and more that the Japanese had a conspiracy.
It is estimated that the main force of the Japanese North China Air Force will launch a full-scale air attack before noon to cover the arrival of the main force of the Central China Air Force.
The weather was hot and the sun was shining brightly at noon. If the troops who had been fighting all morning were faced with this wave of all-out air strikes and then faced another wave of higher intensity air strikes, they would probably collapse.
He immediately told Commander Wang, Commander Xu, and Shen Quan next to him: "Captain Wang, you command the material transfer troops to immediately prepare ammunition for the backup fortifications and prepare to evacuate the exposed temporary air defense positions and air defenses without permanent bunkers.
Position, as long as this wave of air strikes ends before noon, retreat immediately.
Commander Xu, you should immediately arrange fire-fighting troops and stock up on fire-fighting supplies. There is no need to put out fires in areas of little value. Just do your best to protect the fires around the permanent air defense positions and air defense towers.
In addition, Shi Dahu was notified to be prepared. During the air raid, the Japanese planned to detonate some material warehouses and original military facilities of the Japanese. After the next wave of the Central China Air Force of the Japanese arrived, during the air raid, all facilities and old air defense facilities in the city would be detonated.
position to reduce the vigilance of the last wave of Japanese air force that may appear in the afternoon.
Commander Shen, withstand this wave of Japanese all-out air attacks, raise the flag of death, and prepare all artillery positions to fire with all their might. The largest Japanese Central China Air Force is ready to come. Don't hold back.
After the two fiercest Japanese battles at noon, all damaged air defense positions were abandoned, leaving only the strongest air defense towers and long-range anti-aircraft gun permanent fortifications in the city, and all other troops withdrew from the city.
There are also firefighting teams who no longer leave the bunker to put out fires except for using remote fire-fighting spray guns prepared in advance.
Also, notify the headquarters of the frontline detachment leader Kong to pay attention to the air situation around Licheng, and all air defense lookout posts, air search radars, and air listening units are on high alert."
Licheng Frontline Air Defense Command.
After learning that Mr. Lin quickly adjusted his response, Kong Jie also felt a little emotional. He was indeed an old man who had been playing with cannons all his life.
This is not only powerful in ground artillery combat, but also unambiguous in air combat.
The Japanese's wishful thinking was very good.
"After two all-out air strikes, no matter how effective they were, the Eighth Route Army experienced a whole day of air strikes. Under the high-intensity combat from morning to afternoon, we never expected that our empire would have another wave of carpet-like high-altitude air strikes!
This wave of air raids arrived in the evening and returned immediately after the air raid. Even if the Eighth Route Army's secret air force came out to fight, it would be dark after my escort flight team struggled for a while.
It doesn’t take long for our empire’s fighter jets to leave the battlefield at high altitude and at high speed.
The more air defense teams the Eighth Route Army sets up during the day, the better the effect of the empire's evening air raid will be.
The whole city was burned into a sea of flames. With so many anti-aircraft weapons on the 8th Route, how could it be possible to move them away in a short time?"
The commander of the Japanese aviation force who formulated the plan was full of confidence.
But he didn't expect it after all.
The Eighth Route Army also has people like Mr. Lin Weiquan and Commander Wu of the Artillery Regiment who are proficient in air combat.
Mr. Lin said: "Although we are on the ground, the air combat troops must take the initiative and not be passively beaten.
The mobile anti-aircraft artillery unit can cooperate with the anti-aircraft artillery unit outside the city to lurk around Licheng, giving the Japanese air forces coming from four directions a surprise and disrupting their steps!"
Commander Wang had really enjoyed the fight and did not want to retreat. He said to Mr. Lin with excitement: "Old man, the soldiers have been fighting hard all morning. Now their enthusiasm and morale are very high. After this wave of Japanese North China Air Force all-out air raids, we I have the confidence to fight hard and continue to face the main force of the Japanese Air Force in Central China that has arrived!"
There are not a few Eighth Route Army commanders who hold this idea.
These commanders are not afraid of death. What they fear most is fighting a useless battle. What they fear most is that the battle is not enjoyable enough.
If it were anyone else, he might not be able to convince Captain Wang.
After all, this is a tough guy nicknamed Crazy King. Even if Li Yunlong comes in front of him, he has to call him Big Brother!
Mr. Lin said earnestly, "Xiao Wang, look at these soldiers on the artillery positions. They have been fighting all morning, and they are all gray and dry, and their mouths are dry.
How much physical strength do they still have under such high-intensity air combat?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Letting soldiers drag their tired bodies to fight is not what a good commander should do."
Captain Wang was silent.
Mr. Lin pointed to some soldiers and introduced: "These soldiers are all air defense students from various field armies and base areas. You have also seen the combat situation in the morning. They are very brave and learn quickly, but there is a limit. You cannot
People are exhausted!
The next battle may be even more brutal, which requires our elite air defense troops to recharge their batteries."
"Platoon leader Zhao Weiguo, come here!" Mr. Lin shouted.
"Zhao Weiguo reports to the commander!"
Mr. Lin asked: "Tell Commander Wang, can you still continue to fight?"
Zhao Weiguo said: "Report to the commander, our 76th anti-aircraft artillery platoon can continue to fight and ensure the completion of the mission!"
Mr. Lin said: "Then answer me, with your current physical condition, how many rounds of artillery shells can you load in one minute, how many turns of the steering wheel? How many boxes of artillery shells can you carry? Is it already worse than when you were in your peak physical condition?
A lot?"
Zhao Weiguo: "I..."
Mr. Lin said: "A general must assess the situation and decide what to do and what not to do. You must not take any chances. The devils are not just fools. They are far more cunning than we think.
We must always ensure that our soldiers are physically fit and in the best condition to face the fiercest Japanese attack.
Otherwise, you will really fall into the enemy's trick!"
Captain Wang was convinced, "Old man, don't say anything anymore. Just go back to the air raid shelter and give us instructions. We will implement all orders immediately."
Mr. Lin said: "There is no need to go back to the headquarters. Raise the flag of death. This air defense tower is my command position!
Marshal Yuan once said when he was training troops that the soldiers will be brave and will not retreat, and the troops will move forward bravely!
The main force of the Japanese Central China Air Force's fierce air raids may continue for a long time.
Next, we may have to fight independently and not be able to command under one roof.
Take care, everyone!”
Captain Xu said: "Old man, then put on your bulletproof vest and pay attention to safety!"
"Take care, take care!"
As the soldiers spoke, they each rushed to where they needed to go.
At this time.
Japanese Army HD Airport Frontline Command.
Major General Saga, the commander of the Japanese North China Flying Group, looked at the map of Licheng, listened to reports, and kept marking the map.
The anti-aircraft firepower inside and outside Licheng on the Eighth Route has been exposed, and the main force of the North China Air Force from Peiping and Jinan is preparing to arrive at the scene for a full-scale air attack.
The logistics officer next to him reported that the fuel, accessories, and bombs flown from warehouses in North China were basically all in place
The old Japanese soldier Saga said proudly: "No matter how hard the Eighth Route Army tries, they can't imagine that our Empire of Japan not only has strong military power, but also strong industrial power.
Don’t think that their May Day counter-sweeping campaign, which destroyed many of our airports, can completely destroy the sorties of our Imperial Japanese Flying Forces.
We still have the strength to turn an open space into a large airport. We can move it and use it on the same day, and we will all evacuate tomorrow. In just one day, even if the Eighth Route Army knows about the temporary airport used, reports it, and then destroys it, it will be a waste of time.
Gone!
They would never have thought that our airport could completely replenish the Central China Air Force's consumption, enough for them to bomb again and return.
When the time comes, the aviation fleets in the East China region will join the large fleets of the Naval Air Forces and come to carry out high-altitude carpet bombing. We can also blow up Iron Mountain into iron powder and completely wipe Licheng off the map.
Captain Honda, your fighter group will be vigilant around the large aircraft formations in the East China region this afternoon. I will equip you with all the best fighters in the North China region. If the Eighth Route Air Force comes, then wipe them all out!"<
/p>
"Hi!"
……
Long-range anti-aircraft artillery group headquarters around Licheng.
Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment has been observing the sky with a telescope at the headquarters.
Looking at the air combat in the Licheng area, he couldn't help but sigh: "The fighting is everywhere, just like the stars in the sky.
Lao Li, when will your artillery unit be at full firepower?
I came here specifically to see your heavy anti-aircraft guns."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Hey, Cheng Xiazi, I said you are really interesting. When you were a soldier, I taught you how to shoot a gun step by step.
Why, how can you use a cannon to make a plane now? I have to demonstrate it to you personally?"
Captain Cheng said helplessly: "Old Li, why do you like to hurt me so much?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "We, Mr. Li, only take advantage of you, but how can we be so shameless like you? Come to my place to eat my food and drink my food. Why, you still want to command me to fight?
When will you return the chickens I raised on the farm to me?"
But it was said that Kong Jie's team took the lead and began to breed a large number of chickens and ducks in the Iron Triangle base area.
Naturally, Li Yunlong also caught up with the craze and started raising chickens, and even built a farm. When Captain Cheng heard about this, he came over to study.
Then there was the question in front of Li Yunlong.
Captain Cheng smiled evilly and said: "Old Li, didn't you say you wanted to teach me how to raise chickens?
If I don’t eat a few, how do I know if the chickens you raise are good?”
Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "Fuck you, according to what you said, the chickens your boy raised may not be enough for you to eat!
Having said that, why don’t you go eat Lao Kong’s chicken?”
Lao Cheng chuckled and said: "That's a chicken raised by Lao Kong's wife. How can I have the nerve to ask for something belonging to a lesbian?
If you, Old Li, can also marry a beautiful wife to help you raise chickens, I, Old Cheng, will definitely not notice!"
Li Yunlong: "..."
While the two were talking, the signal soldier came over and said: "Report, the headquarters has raised the decisive battle flag!"
Li Yunlong was immediately overjoyed: "Haha, Blind Cheng, the scene you are looking forward to is coming soon.
Signal troops, immediately notify all positions to prepare for war, remove the camouflage, and I will ask the fire control radar unit to turn on the power and prepare to engage the enemy!"
At this time, representatives from all parties watching the battle in Licheng were also notified.
——War preparations have been fully upgraded, and we should be ready to evacuate at any time.
Chu Yunfei has been watching this all morning and is eating canned food to replenish his strength.
Fang Ligong on the side continued to watch the battle. After a while, he suddenly said: "Team leader, why is it that the anti-aircraft position covered with tarpaulin next to it has been activated? It is indeed an anti-aircraft weapon!
No, the Japanese are going after Licheng Middle School!"
Several people immediately went to look, and then they saw the Japanese Type 99 dive bombers. A formation of four aircraft dived toward the air defense position of Licheng Middle School one by one. In an instant, four heavy bombs dropped, and the tallest teaching building was directly destroyed.
Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "Why don't you open fire? Where is the air defense position set up by the Eighth Route Army inside?"
Fang Ligong said: "Isn't it already transferred?"
Then, the Japanese's second wave of dive bombings came again, and the air defense position near the school opened fire, destroying two Japanese dive bombers on the spot.
Yang Chongshan said: "It seems that these little devils are really serious. They are probably afraid that Licheng will be occupied by the Eighth Route Army and cannot be taken back, so they are preparing to carry out a full-scale bombing and blow up all the facilities. They are really nothing! p>
However, Licheng has always been in the hands of the Japanese. They know very well the distribution of buildings in the city. If the Japanese really want to destroy the entire city, no one can stop them!"
At this time, Wu Changsheng suddenly said: "Look, there seems to be a lot of anti-aircraft firepower around. These places are actually anti-aircraft firepower points. They are so well hidden!"
"It seems that the Eighth Route Army is also prepared, perhaps preparing for a big fight!" Chu Yunfei said thoughtfully.
At this time, an Eighth Route Army communications soldier hurriedly came to report: "Several officers, according to the order of our detachment leader, please several officers to immediately transfer through the secret passage in advance. The Japanese army's full-scale air attack is coming soon!" p>
