Since its birth, aircraft have been famous for their high efficiency, high power and high maneuverability. After decades of continuous development, after entering the 1940s, aircraft have developed into a brand new technical branch. Influenced by aircraft, the armies of various countries have also adjusted
They have developed their own strategies and tactics, and the one that has changed the fastest is undoubtedly Germany.
While other countries were still exploring, Germany had taken the lead in separating it into an independent military branch. It was at this time that the Air Force, a brand new branch of the military, was born.
And the German Air Force did live up to expectations and made great contributions to the Third Reich.
Of course, this is all beside the point.
Needless to say, the six planes in the first wave of bombing dropped six 250-kilogram heavy aerial bombs. When the aerial bombs exploded, several deep pits about three meters deep and ten meters wide instantly appeared on the ground.
There are no humans or animals within a radius of more than two hundred meters.
After the six aerial bombs in the first round of bombing exploded, the 358th Regiment's position three to four hundred meters away from the explosion point was also affected. The strong shock wave even blew the soldiers in the trenches to stagger, and many soldiers were even blown directly by the shock wave.
When it reached the ground, the raised dust even covered the position with a thin layer.
Although the command post where Chu Yunfei was located was far away from the explosion point, more than 400 meters away, it was not completely immune.
"Danzao...Danzao...are you okay?"
When the explosion sounded, the experienced Chu Yunfei immediately squatted down. When the dust and smoke dissipated, he quickly stood up and looked through the binoculars. He found that the Japanese tank that was blazing fiercely just a moment ago had disappeared.
Instead, there were several huge craters.
"My dear... isn't this too awesome?" Fang Ligong wiped the dust from his lenses and didn't know what to say for a moment. On the front, 358 was struggling to hold on.
The soldiers of the regiment let out loud cheers, which for a moment actually covered up the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield.
"Okay... With this wave of air support, the little devils can't even think of taking over our position today." Chu Yunfei also had a look of joy on his face. Even he didn't expect the air support to be so powerful, but then he remembered
What? He waved to the communications soldier not far away who was carrying a radio on his back.
"Hurry... contact the brothers in heaven quickly. I want to thank them personally!"
Before the communications soldier could speak, someone pointed to the sky and shouted: "Sir, look, another plane is coming!"
Everyone looked up and saw that more than ten planes appeared in the southwest, flying towards them quickly.
"No...it's a kid's plane." Everyone's expressions changed immediately.
In a temporary command post about a kilometer away from them, Colonel Isa Kazuo, captain of the Japanese Seventh Regiment, who was directing the attack, was cursing. He never expected that what he thought was his own air support was actually a Chinese aircraft.
, and gave them a big move as soon as they arrived. Just the first round of attacks completely disrupted the offensive of the 7th Wing, and even the tank squadron suffered heavy losses.
"Baga Yalu, what on earth is going on with those idiots in the Army Airlines? How could they let the Chinese planes fly over our heads for bombing? Where are our planes? Where did they die?"
The chief of staff next to him, Taichi Kato, just wanted to comfort him when he suddenly pointed to the southwest and shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander...another plane is coming towards us."
Isa Kazuo didn't have time to speak, so he quickly raised his telescope and looked toward the southwest. His originally angry expression was startled for a moment, and then he showed joy, "Yoshi...it's a plane from the Japanese Empire...these idiots are finally here, although it's late.
It was a bit late, but we finally caught up.”
Kato Taichi nodded repeatedly: "Great, our plane is here, and those Chinese people won't be able to escape."
Although both officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army disdain the Army Airlines on the surface, they still have great confidence in their own Army Airlines in their hearts. In their view, as soon as their own planes arrive, those damn Chinese planes will either escape or escape.
Only those who were shot down.
Within just a few minutes of discovering the Japanese aircraft fleet, the two aircraft groups quickly encountered each other.
The group of Stuka bombers that were bombing and dropping also began to climb and prepare to escape. However, the Stuka's poor 880-horsepower jumo211dr engine was too small for this six-ton monster.
, even though the pilots had pushed the throttle to the maximum, the plane was still climbing slowly.
Seeing that eight Type 1 fighters from the Japanese fleet were rushing towards them, the Stuka pilots were so anxious that they almost broke the throttle valve, but it was still of no use, and the speed of the aircraft still did not change at all.
The situation in the sky was also seen by the soldiers of the 358th Regiment on the ground. Many soldiers shouted loudly to remind the air force brothers in the sky to pay attention. Even Chu Yunfei also pinched the dive bombers.
Cold sweat.
Just when they were worried, the eight P47 fighters originally serving as escorts at high altitudes swooped down like arrows. They formed a group of two and rushed towards the Japanese Type 1 fighters.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."
The one who rushed to the front was Huang Kebiao. The eight Browning large-caliber machine guns on the wings of the Thunder fighter he piloted simultaneously spurted out tongues of flame. Hundreds of armor-piercing incendiary bombs covered the airspace hundreds of meters ahead.
The Type 1 fighter plane, which was just staring at the bomber below, was caught off guard and exploded in the air. A large amount of aviation fuel in the chassis was ignited, turning into a huge fireball in the sky.
Not to be outdone, Huang Kebiao's comrades found their targets one after another and pulled the triggers. For a while, orange-yellow ballistics streaked across the sky.
In this round of raids and counter-raids, it was obvious that the flying brigade took advantage.
Since they were hiding in the clouds just now, the Japanese aircraft fleet did not detect them. They thought that the Chinese only dispatched a dozen bombers, but they did not expect that there were eight ferocious eagles hovering above their heads.
Speaking of which, this Japanese fleet came from Yangmingbao Airport. It was a fleet of six Type 99 dual-method light explosive aircraft and eight Type 1 fighters. They were originally here to support the 7th Wing, but they never thought that they had just arrived.
When I arrived, I saw Chinese fighter planes bombing our side.
The Japanese commander, who couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw the Chinese Air Force wreaking havoc in front of him, couldn't help but get a little angry for a moment. After hurriedly observing the surrounding environment, he hurriedly ordered the escort squadron to enter the battlefield, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the clouds.
The Chinese fighter jets on board launched a counter-sneak attack...
