He didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's "special bombs" could be used in this way to attack their own positions... Wasn't this thing used to blow up imperial positions? Wasn't it used to blow up aircraft and heavy artillery?
How can these guys be used to blow up their own airport!
Shameless!
cunning!
No rules!
In fact, not only Endo Shino didn't expect it, but even Gao Liangjun didn't expect it. He didn't think "Gao Huo" could hit his airport.
But then I thought...if there were Japs gathering at the airport, then why not?
Regardless of whether Endo Shino wanted it or not, in the next second, the "high fire" came through the sky with its unique roar, and then a loud "boom" exploded accurately near the airport, and the airport and the surrounding loess
It was immediately lifted into the sky, and then the smoke and dust was pushed out like a hurricane.
Standing outside the airport, Endo Shino was almost blinded by the strong wind. He hurriedly hid in the armored command vehicle and slammed the hatch.
However, this still cannot stop the waves of fear, because this fear comes from the bottom of my heart.
He knew that his troops were finished. There were five squadrons in total... no, there should be an airborne group added to them.
The total strength was nearly 2,000 men, all elites of the empire, specially selected from the infantry and airborne troops for this battle, plus tanks and sidecar motorcycles, they were all finished.
Not even half a day!
Shino Endo even feels like he’s dreaming!
Is the opponent the Eighth Route Army?
Is it the Eighth Route Army that was once beaten by the empire and was unable to fight back?
Why do they have such terrifying fighting power now that even the "blitzkrieg" launched by the elites of the empire is like destroying themselves with an egg against a stone in front of them!
What Endo Shino thought was really right, this "blitzkrieg" by the Japanese was really like self-destruction... He traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and rushed to Wangxing Airport as quickly as possible to be bombed by "high fire".
"Major, Major..." the staff officer shouted to Endo Shino: "We should retreat, otherwise..."
Otherwise, there is no need to say more. If the imperial army is bombed like this, only a few will survive.
This was the time for the Eighth Route Army to launch a full-scale counterattack.
If he didn't retreat, what awaited Shino Endo would be death or capture.
Endo Shino gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat!"
He is someone who has returned from studying abroad in Hans, and he will not readily commit suicide like the Imperial Army.
However... Shiki Endo also understood that in the Imperial Army, he was sometimes unable to control himself. For the Imperial Army, the shame of this failure could only be washed away by death.
Air captain Ehide Morimoto, who was flying in the sky, looked at the horrific scene on the ground and just said: "We have lost, let's return!"
There was nothing wrong with the return order issued by Ehide Morimoto.
Because the sky was getting dark at this time, "Zero War" did not have the ability to fight in the dark.
On the other hand, the ground forces have disappeared and are exhausted. What can they do with the air force?
However, Morimoto Ehide was completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching their aviation fleet...
Wang Xuexin's target was not only the Japanese ground troops, but also the Japanese air force flying in the air.
The Japanese still have more than 40 "zero fighters", and the existence of these "zero fighters" has always been a serious problem for the Eighth Route Army Air Force.
Although the Eighth Route Army was facing the Japanese as a national war machine at this time, the Japanese's "zero war" could almost be said to replace one by destroying one, which was endless for the Eighth Route Army.
However……
The enemy of the Japanese is not only the Eighth Route Army, but also Yingjiang.
The more "zero battles" the Japanese invested in or lost in the Eighth Route Army, the less "zero battles" they could invest in Yingjiang.
Therefore, it can ultimately affect the entire battle situation.
In other words, the Japanese may collapse earlier than in history.
With this idea, Wang Xuexin must keep his eyes on the Japanese's "zero war".
Originally, it was still difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack the Japanese airport.
The Japs' airport is 200 kilometers away from Yuncheng, which is within the range of the improved "high fire".
Professor Su reported to Wang Xuexin: "After installing the new pulse engine, the actual range of the 'High Fire' can reach 230 kilometers. However, the last 30 kilometers basically rely on gliding, and it is difficult for the 'High Fire' to maintain the stability of the fuselage.
, that is to say... the accuracy will be greatly reduced!"
So the problem arises.
The location of the Jaap Airport is almost at the limit of the range of the new "high-fire" missile.
Even if Wang Xuexin deployed a new type of "high fire" in Yuncheng, he would still be able to hit the target.
but……
There are many uncertainties or operational problems in deploying the new "high fire" in Yuncheng.
For example, if the "high fire" is transported to Yuncheng, will it be detected by the Japanese reconnaissance plane?
The people in Yuncheng are talkative. Will the Eighth Route Army's actions be detected by the Japanese intelligence personnel?
If the Japanese knew that "high fire" was deployed in Yuncheng City and even knew their location, would they use heavy artillery and aviation to bomb it?
Therefore, Wang Xuexin was in a dilemma.
I want to use a new type of "high fire" to attack the Japanese airport, but I suffer from the lack of range... It's just a little bit short, and there is room for deployment if it is more than dozens of kilometers away.
However, when the range of the "high fire" reaches a certain level, it is not easy to increase it by dozens of kilometers.
Even if it can be done, it cannot be done in a short time.
Just when Wang Xuexin was in trouble, he suddenly received information from Chen Songyong...
"Battal Commander!" Chen Songyong said: "The Japs have set up two temporary airports on the front line. We estimate that they are probably used by the Japs to strengthen their offensive!"
Wang Xuexin looked at the map and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He knew what the Japanese were planning.
Although these two airports are "temporary airports", they were definitely gathering places for Japanese fighter planes during wartime.
Because the Japanese fighter jets will be much closer to refueling at the temporary airport than at the permanent airport... The straight-line distance is 200 kilometers, and the round trip is 400 kilometers.
Once the Japanese think they have control of the air, they will safely park their fighter planes at these two temporary airports on standby.
Because, as far as the Japanese were concerned, they believed that the Eighth Route Army had nothing left to hit the temporary airport.
"Hawker 81" was blocked in an underground warehouse and unable to take off.
"High Fire" has a range of less than fifty kilometers and cannot pose a threat to the temporary airport.
Of course the Japanese did not know that at this time the Eighth Route Army already had an improved "high fire" capable of fighting 200 kilometers.
The original airport of the "Gaohuo" base is only 160 kilometers away from the temporary airport.
