On the other side, after the first earth-shattering explosion, Bai Zongxi, who was at the command post dozens of miles away, suddenly woke up and asked the guards to inquire about the situation.
As soon as the guard walked out of the door, earth-shattering explosions sounded in the distance one after another. Bai Zongxi was shocked and surprised at the same time. The explosions came from the Jaap's position.
Two minutes later, news came from the front line that it was suspected that our bomber group was dispatched and carried out a large-scale bombing of Xiaobenzi's artillery position.
Bai Zongxi was a little shocked. He and Xiao Benzi had several air battles one after another. The principal felt distressed and did not dare to send out the few fighter planes to preserve the hard-won strength of the air force.
What's going on now? No longer conserving strength? How dare you use all your wealth to bomb the Japs' artillery positions.
I have doubts in my heart, but as an experienced commander on the battlefield, his ability to seize opportunities is also first-rate.
Listening to the continuous explosions in Xiaobenzi's positions, and according to the battle reports that continued to be sent back from the battlefield, it was not only the artillery positions that were bombed, but also many positions of Xiaobenzi's Sixth Division were bombed on a large scale.
So? After the bombing, a short period of chaos is inevitable. This is the best time to attack.
Following an order, the 28th Army, the 68th Army, and the 84th Army were all dispatched. As soon as the explosions stopped, they launched a full-line attack on all positions of the Sixth Division.
Xiao Benzi lost most of its artillery and armored vehicles, greatly reducing its heavy firepower. In addition, the infantry was also bombed by Li Mu, causing a lot of panic. Various positions were in emergency one after another.
The battle lasted all day, Xiaobenzi suffered heavy losses, and the encirclement was further compressed. Bai Zongxi once again saw hope of annihilating Xiaobenzi's 6th Division.
The only thing to worry about now is that Xiaobenzi has opened a supply channel in Jiujiang to supply ammunition and soldiers to the Sixth Division.
With this passage, Xiao Benzi has the ability to restore strength and continue fighting.
…
In the evening, Li Mu looked at the battle situation reported from the front line and set his sights on the Jiujiang area.
During this period, the Sixth Division relied on this place to obtain personnel and supplies.
In the early morning of the next day, under a good moonlight, the Yin-16 soared into the night sky again. An hour later, the fighter planes followed the Yangtze River to the vicinity of Jiujiang. Based on the intelligence, Li Mu quickly found the port where the Japanese transport ship was berthed.
Hovering at an altitude of five thousand meters, Li Mu took out his telescope and observed clearly the ships in the port below. There were three large transport ships, a dozen medium-sized transport ships, and hundreds of other transport ships.
Li Mu gradually lowered his flight altitude, three thousand meters, two thousand meters, one thousand meters... The port duty personnel had already noticed that the shrill air defense alarm sounded.
Aimed at three large transport ships, three one-ton aerial bombs poured down in two seconds and flew across the port. Li Mu raised the altitude and observed the effect from a distance.
Of the three aerial bombs, only one hit the large transport ship. Even though it was only one bomb, its one-ton yield ensured its power.
After a loud noise, the large transport ship began to tilt and flood...
Li Mu did not hesitate. The second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch... aerial bombs came one after another. Three large transport ships not far away were hit one after another, and there were more than a dozen transport ships and medium transport ships.
It was blown up and sunk.
Looking at the hundreds of transport ships still floating on the water, these ships have smaller targets and are more difficult to hit.
Li Mu changed his method and began to use gasoline bombs composed of three tons of gasoline and bombs. As a huge plastic barrel containing three tons of gasoline was dropped, more than ten seconds later, at an altitude of several hundred meters above the water, the gasoline barrel instantly
There was an explosion, and three tons of gasoline turned into a rain of fire and poured downwards.
Suddenly, countless ships on the water were set on fire, and even some small book warehouses at the dock were also affected.
However, this was not enough, the fire was too small. Then Li Mu dropped ten more gasoline bombs one after another, equivalent to thirty tons of gasoline. The small fire that was dripping suddenly turned into a raging fire, burning everything, including the ship.
Transport ships, dock warehouses, cargo...
Looking at the panicked crowd below, as well as the powerless anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, Li Mu turned around and flew over the Sixth Division.
It's a pity that I just suffered a loss yesterday. The little book here is more cautious and I can't find a suitable target for a while.
Li Mu could only find those suspicious targets and bomb them for a while, with some success, but most of them were disguises for the Japs to attract firepower.
After checking the time, Xiao Benzi's plane was due to arrive, and Li Mu returned to Nanyang.
…
During the next period of time and at night, Li Mu went out several times, along the Yangtze River waterway, bombarding the Japanese ships transporting ammunition, food, wages and soldiers, with remarkable results.
For a time, the transportation line was attacked. Not only did the Japs panic, but the momentum of the front attack slowed down. The media even reported it vigorously, and countless people cheered.
Li Mu was not in such a good mood. Although he had achieved outstanding results in the past few days, he was also targeted by small planes. Some were even specially parked at temporary small airports along the Yangtze River. As soon as Li Mu took action here, several planes there buzzed.
It flew over with a buzz.
He didn't want to fight in the air, so he could only avoid it. As a result, only the first few bombings in the recent period were successful. In the last two days, as soon as he found the target and dropped a few bombs, the small plane over there arrived.
Can retreat in depression.
Li Mu thought for a while, this was not the solution, he had better solve the air superiority of Xiaobenzi first.
Without air superiority, the troops now gathered in Guofu are enough to kill even a small book.
After searching for information and studying it for a while, there is no doubt that the airport with the largest distance from the front line is Jinling Airport.
According to intelligence, this is currently the airport where the Japs are most active, with more than two hundred aircraft of various types parked.
What a good goal!
A few months ago, Li Mu sent people to Huoshan, located in the Dabie Mountains in the Lu'an area, and chose a secret location to build the Huoshan Airport.
Since this is now an area occupied by Xiaobenzi, the construction is a little slower than the Henan North Airport. However, it was all completed more than half a month ago.
It is more than 200 kilometers from Huoshan to Jinling, more than 500 kilometers to Shanghai, and also more than 500 kilometers to Hangzhou. It can be said that if Huoshan Airport is used as the origin, Jinling, Hangzhou and Shanghai are all within the combat radius.
After contacting the guard troops at Huoshan Airport, they learned that everything was normal. Since it was an occupied area, in order to avoid attracting attention, Li Mucai flew a plane over that evening.
Arriving above Huoshan Mountain, I circled twice and quickly found the location of the airport. It is located between several hills deep in the mountains. The location is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is difficult to find without paying special attention.
After landing at the airport, Li Mu briefly inspected Huoshan Airport. It was good in all aspects. As long as it was not public, it could be operated for a long time with the degree of secrecy of the place.
That night, Li Mu studied maps and information until late at night, squinted for a while, and at one o'clock in the morning, in the dark night, he flew the plane towards Jinling.
The Japanese paid great attention to Jinling, and Li Mu flew particularly carefully this time, maintaining an altitude of eight thousand meters. Half an hour later, he arrived near Jinling.
In order to avoid being discovered, Li Mu carefully circled around Jinling and found the area where the airport was located. Then he began to lower the altitude, opened the hatch, and looked around with a telescope.
The target at the airport was huge. It circled half a circle in the air and was spotted at a glance.
Li Mu used a telescope to carefully observe the airport. It covers a large area and has many aircraft inside. There are probably more than 150 fighter jets, more than 30 bombers, more than 20 transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft...
In addition, oil depots, barracks, and pilot dormitories were compared based on the intelligence, and they were quickly found one by one.
So, let’s get started!
The altitude of the plane remained unchanged, still at an altitude of 5,000 meters. It passed over the airport, swishing, swishing... Within four seconds, five one-ton aerial bombs fell straight towards the airport below.
After flying out of the airport, Li Mu circled in the air for half a circle and flew over the airport again. Five more one-ton aerial bombs fell.
Next, within two minutes, under Li Mu's extreme operation, a total of sixty tons of aerial bombs rained down from the sky above the airport.
The staff at the decentralized airport looked at the iron lumps falling from the sky with a look of despair on their faces.
As one earth-shaking explosion sounded after another, countless shrapnel and countless shock waves made the airport seem to have turned into an endless purgatory. Countless planes were shattered into pieces, and countless fragments rose into the sky...
Li Mu ignored the tragic scene below and circled around to the oil depot, barracks, and pilot dormitories. Aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms were dropped one after another. Although many ground staff and flight personnel had evacuated, there were still many thoughts.
Those who wanted to rescue supplies, or even wanted to fly a plane to fight Li Mu, were easily harvested by bombs.
Soon, a bigger explosion sounded, flames jumped hundreds of meters into the air, and the oil depot exploded.
Looking at his masterpiece, Li Mu felt very comfortable. However, it was not that there were no fish that slipped through the net below, it was still the old method.
The next moment, a huge plastic barrel containing three tons of gasoline appeared out of thin air, fell straight down, and exploded instantly in the air several hundred meters above the ground. Three tons of gasoline turned into a rain of fire and splashed everywhere.
Then, Li Mu dropped fifteen of these specially-made incendiary bombs in one breath, and forty-five tons of gasoline turned into fire rain and poured down. The entire airport was ignited and turned into a sea of fire.
At this time, prevention and control weapons were heard one after another all around, including anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns, and even many anti-aircraft guns...
At his current height, anti-aircraft machine guns and laser cannons were not a big threat, but anti-aircraft guns were a big threat.
Li Mu didn't waste any time. The next moment, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
The next day, the news that Jinling Airport was bombed caused shock and made headlines in major newspapers and media. Many foreign media even joined the report.
Many media are praising Guofu. After bombing the Xiaobenzi transport fleet, they organized a bomber group to carry out a large-scale bombing of Jinling Airport, destroying more than 200 Xiaobenzi aircraft... It was really a rare victory.
The senior officials of Guofu were also confused. This was not their bombing, but this kind of long-faced and morale-boosting thing naturally could not be dismissed and could only be acquiesced.
Besides, apart from them, no other force in the country has the ability to dispatch such a large group of bombers to bomb a small airport.
Even Guofu currently does not have the ability to dispatch such a large bomber group.
Just when the outside world was filled with laughter and laughter, all walks of life were immersed in the festive atmosphere of more than 200 planes being bombed, and countless people let out a breath of bad breath.
Li Mu went out again. In the southern region, there were two places with the most Japs planes, one was Jinling and the other was Shanghai City. Jinling Airport had been bombed by him, and Shanghai City naturally couldn't keep it.
At one o'clock in the morning the next day, under the dim moonlight, Yin-16 flew into the night sky again, adjusted slightly, found the right direction, and flew all the way towards the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
More than an hour later, the plane had arrived near Shanghai City. At this time, Greater Shanghai, because of the French Concession and the Public Concession, was still prosperous even though it was an occupied area.
There are upper-class people everywhere who are drunk and dreaming, and people at the bottom who are numb and desperate for survival.
According to intelligence and maps, Li Mu maintained an altitude of five thousand meters and quickly found the location of Xiaobenzi Military Airport.
This is the Hongqiao Airport in later generations. After the fall of Shanghai last year, the airport was occupied by Xiaobenzi and converted into a military airport. They also forcibly enclosed 1,356 acres of land and built runways and hangars to meet the needs of the war.
Today, it can be said to be one of the largest airports in China.
Li Mu took out his telescope and observed it from a distance for a while, feeling slightly surprised. In terms of scale, this airport was larger than Jinling Airport, with more planes parked inside.
Li Mu made a rough visual inspection and found that there were more than 260 fighter planes, bombers, transport planes, and reconnaissance planes.
What else can you say? Let’s do it!
However, as soon as Li Mu flew over the airport, the air defense siren sounded below. He was a little surprised. This was too alarming. It seemed that what happened at Jinling Airport yesterday had made them remember.
Even so, within four seconds of the fighter jet passing lightly over the airport 5,000 meters above the airport, five one-ton aerial bombs fell silently.
After flying out of the airport, Li Mu did not hesitate, hovered in the air for half a circle, passed over the airport again, and five more one-ton aerial bombs fell.
…
At this time, the first batch of five aerial bombs had just landed one after another, and with the sound of explosions that sounded like the earth was shattering, the whole of Shanghai seemed to be stunned.
Whether it is the French Concession, the Public Concession, or the Japanese-occupied area.
Since the Battle of Husong ended last year, many people have not heard the explosion for nearly a year. It was still so earth-shattering that the earth was shaken, and the deafening explosion was still heard more than ten miles apart.
Countless people were awakened, countless people opened their windows, and countless people ran out of the house...looking at the place where the explosion occurred, some people with keen eyesight even guessed that the direction of the explosion was the military airport in Little Book.
I was a little shocked when I thought about the newspaper I saw during the day, which said that Xiaobenzi Jinling Airport had just been bombed. No, Jinling Xiaobenzi Airport was bombed just yesterday, and today I am going to Shanghai to bomb Xiaobenzi Airport...
However, the violent explosions, one after another, seemed to have no end, which shocked countless people. At the same time, they opened their eyes wide and looked in the direction of the airport.
Here, Li Mu dropped seventy tons of aerial bombs in one breath. The airport was completely blown into ruins. He started the last process again. As three-ton gasoline incendiary bombs were dropped, the airport turned into a sea of fire, and the oil depot
The fire caused by the detonation shot up into the sky in an instant, lighting up half of the sky.
Looking at the air defense and anti-aircraft artillery troops being transferred in the distance, as well as several fighter jets transferred from other small airports, Li Mu did not stop, turned the nose of the plane, increased the speed to the highest speed, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Only the airport was left covered with debris, reduced to ashes in the raging fire.
As you can imagine, it will be front-page news again tomorrow.
