The six Japanese D1A/Type 94 dive bombers in the sky made a scalp-numbing engine sound.
At the beginning of the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese had almost no air superiority. At this time, the Chinese Air Force, which still had aircraft, gave the Japanese Air Force a harsh lesson.
However, with the loss of fighter planes and the collapse of ground airports, air superiority gradually fell into the hands of Japanese fighters.
Especially at this time, there was no radar, and because of poor communications, even if the ground troops were attacked by Japanese fighter planes, they could not send the message to the air force.
Therefore, in the face of Japanese fighter planes, other than standing firm, there is only the following method.
There are trench fortifications in front of the pontoon bridge that comply with the teaching standards. As is the usual practice of the Chinese army, those trenches have almost no cover. The swooping Japanese fighter planes can clearly see those hastily dug trenches.
But that area is also the place with the highest density of kites.
It was a large triangular kite. According to newspaper reports, it should be so big that it could almost carry people into the sky.
But that's all, as long as you avoid the kites flying in the air after dropping the bomb, and be careful of the kite strings that are as sharp as razor blades.
The diving Japanese dive bomber pilots felt a little proud. Although the Chinese Air Force had a better record at the beginning of the war, everyone knew that their fighters were made by IWC.
One less aircraft will be lost, and soon they will have no more aircraft to use.
The Empire of Japan was an emerging industrial country compared with backward China. To deal with such an agricultural country...
The khaki battlefields are getting closer and closer, and you can almost see the Chinese soldiers lying in the battlefield, their rifles pointed at the pontoon bridge.
Why didn't they avoid the bombing? Could it be...
The leading fighter suddenly felt as if he had been fooled, because in the trenches below, the soldiers lying in the trenches made no move to avoid the falling bombs.
In fact, those positions were real, but when the enemy infantry was not seen, there was no one there.
Secondly, the trenches camouflaged with tree branches and camouflage nets tens of meters behind the trench line are the main trenches for stationing troops.
If necessary, there will be enough troops in the trenches ahead in a few minutes.
As for why the Japanese fighter planes did not attack the mortars and tanks behind the wicker basket, it was because from the sky, apart from a few piles of rocks, there were no tanks or mortars at all.
Even if you get under those "big rocks", you will find that there are only armored vehicles, not tanks.
So what about the four tanks?
Of course they are well hidden and will not give aircraft a chance to strike.
As the first fighter plane dropped its bombs, a huge explosion erupted from the trench line in front.
"Don't drop bombs, it's a fake position, there are dummies on the position..."
Although the leading fighter plane roared at the top of his lungs, the D1A/94 dive bomber following him had already dropped bombs.
"idiot……"
In his angry roar, he pulled the control stick with both hands as hard as he could to make his fighter plane avoid those kites and return to the safety of the blue sky as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the leading fighter plane pulled up in time. Looking out from the cabin, you can see that his height is much higher than the height of those kites:
This is the best way to avoid those annoying kite strings.
However, at this moment, there was a "surging" sound from below, like a cannon fire.
So far, the Japanese Navy still has not figured out why the fighter planes lost on the top of the Sihang Warehouse were lost. They know that it is related to kites, and they may only think that the kite strings may cut the canvas skin of the wings.
No one really knows whether there will be other problems, because the pilots will have to deal with the following things.
The gasoline cannon cannon sprayed the helmet mine to a height of two hundred meters, and then the helmet mine sprayed a large amount of metal fragments towards the climbing fighter plane.
Unfortunately, the pilot of the first D1A/Type 94 dive bomber was very experienced, and he had already changed the course during the climb.
This is the main means for dive bomber pilots to avoid gunfire from the ground or from battleships.
Unfortunately, the wingman following him didn't have a good chance. A helmet mine exploded not far behind its butt. Almost instantly, a large number of metal fragments were like sharp blades, cutting one wing like a strip of cloth.
The fighter plane lost its stability and spun around, falling towards nowhere.
Compared with the second fighter plane, the four fighters that dived behind were even more unlucky.
They obeyed the commander's order and did not drop bombs. The heavy fuselage slowed down the reaction of their fighter planes. When they struggled to pull on the control stick and tried to climb, what appeared in their field of vision was the rather large kite.
Swing the pole, push the rudder... Among those kites fluttering in the morning wind, flying sideways is the safest method.
As long as he doesn't get caught by those kite strings, he can return to the sky...
"boom……"
Just when he felt that the fighter plane could avoid the kite strings and there was almost no danger, the kites that were floating smoothly suddenly exploded.
They exploded into pieces one after another, and metal fragments flew back and forth to the left and right of the fighter plane.
The four D1A/Type 94 dive bombers behind them were bumping in the "waves" formed by these ubiquitous metal pieces.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When the pilot on the leading fighter plane looked down, he was surprised to find that the four fighters following him were falling downwards, dragging black smoke.
The most irritating thing was that another kite was flying underground at this moment, which made him extremely angry and yelled,
"Hate, hate, I hate kites, I hate morning wind, I hate people who use kites to land mines."
He repeatedly hammered his legs with his hands. Then he calmed down a little and began to report the situation on the battlefield to the mothership.
"I am a pilot of the ** team. We encountered an aerial minefield set up by the Chinese army using kites. To deal with them, it is best to take advantage of the windless time and try to conduct a single-plane dive attack. In addition, never dive to drop bombs at low altitude. Goodbye, gentlemen.
Already..."
Angry at the casualties of his teammates, the pilot of the D1A/Type 94 dive bomber began to dive with his fighter plane.
The machine guns began to fire, and the small bombs hanging on the wings were dropped...
Just when he dived again, more than a dozen groups of people appeared on the originally empty position of the loess facing the sky. Then, one after another, screaming sky monkeys trailing white tail flames rushed towards the sky.
If that was all, that would be fine, but suddenly rifles and light bolts shot toward the sky from behind the loess trench.
Facing the rain of bullets, the hard-hearted pilot remained unmoved.
Just then, I accidentally turned my head and saw a large group of cavalry approaching the battlefield quickly...
"It's a pity that there is no chance to provide them with information."
Just as he was thinking about it, a large flying monkey exploded nearby, and a large number of shrapnel flew around the warhead wrapped in cloth, like metal flowers blooming in the sky.
