Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

The fierce battle at Wusu Airport continues.

After three waves of dive attacks, the Eighth Route Army Air Force basically wiped out more than 20 Japanese machine gun positions and two 2mm anti-aircraft guns.

In addition, the Japanese light and heavy machine gun positions also suffered heavy losses.

If the Japanese could deploy thousands of anti-aircraft fire points at the Wusu Airport like the New 1st Regiment did, it would indeed pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

But unfortunately, the Japanese did not have so many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense.

Bullets rained down from the sky, and fighter planes flew over the airport with a loud roar, dropping bombs and rockets.

"Banani?"

In the sky, Lieutenant Colonel Sakagawa felt a chill suddenly surge from his spine to his whole body.

Lieutenant Colonel Sakagawa fought with the Mustang fighter for three rounds without a clear winner, relying on his ace pilot skills.

but,

In the fourth round, the opponent's volley of aircraft shells broke the wing of his Type 97 fighter.

Relying on his superb skills, Lieutenant Colonel Sakagawa managed to stabilize the fuselage and prevent it from falling.

However, the Type 97 fighter could no longer perform any evasive action. Once it performed a rolling action, the aircraft would definitely lose balance and crash.

Sakagawa planned to make an emergency landing at Xincheng Airport north of Taiyuan.

But just as he looked back, the fighter plane he had just been fighting with was flying towards him at high speed, with its nose aimed at his plane.

"Bagaya Road."

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army pilot in the rear pressed the button of the aircraft cannon.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Four machine guns opened fire at the same time, a burst of 4mm cannon shells and thick black smoke announced the end of Lieutenant Colonel Sakagawa and the Type 20 bomber. Sakagawa's Type fighter plane exploded in mid-air.

Also killed was Lieutenant Colonel Sakagawa.

"08, well done."

Zhang Chengwu, who saw this scene, loudly praised it over the radio.

The aircraft that shot down the Japanese plane was a Mustang fighter with the number 08. The pilot was a pilot named Li Tengfei, whose name obviously had something to do with airplanes.

"This little devil is quite capable."

Li Tengfei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If the opponent was also a Mustang fighter, he would have almost no chance of defeating him.

Fortunately, the other side did not have Mustang fighter jets.

"Continue, fourth wave of attack."

There were dozens of Japanese hangars in the Wusu Airport. It was impossible to see from the air which hangars had planes, so they had to blow up all of them.

Following Zhang Chengwu's order, the 30 planes circled back again, but were about to dive and attack.

Four black clouds suddenly exploded in the formation of attack aircraft.

Suddenly a pilot shouted on the radio:
"I'm hit, I'm hit..."

Zhang Chengwu also noticed this and shouted, "There's anti-aircraft guns attacking! Disperse the formation!"

"Hit units reporting!"

"Reporting to 01, this is 021, the cabin has been hit, but it can still fly."

Zhang Chengwu immediately ordered: "021 attack aircraft group returns to Mengxian Airport, the remaining fighters immediately search for the location of the enemy's air defense positions!"

This attack formation consisted of a total of 30 aircraft, with each group consisting of 3 aircraft.

The New 1st Regiment is not afraid of not having planes, but is afraid of losing pilots.

The damaged aircraft can be directly replaced with a new one by asking Boss Lin, but there are only more than 256 pilots in the New st Regiment, and one less pilot is one less.

In an instant, planes numbered 022 and 023 broke away from the attack formation and covered plane 021 as it flew towards Mengxian Airport.

This place is only a few dozen kilometers from Mengxian Airport, and it can be reached in just over ten minutes. This is the safest way. "01, 01, two o'clock direction, enemy anti-aircraft artillery positions spotted."

At this time, wingman No. 03 was reporting to Zhang Chengwu.

At the same time, Zhang Chengwu, who was driving a Mustang fighter plane around a bend, also discovered that the Japanese anti-aircraft guns were emitting muzzle fireworks.

The guns firing were the 75mm anti-aircraft guns of two Japanese Type armored trains.

Each Type 2 armored train is equipped with two Type 75 mm anti-aircraft guns.

There are also 2 105mm cannons and 10 Type heavy machine guns.

The firepower is strong.

However, the regiment commander has already issued an order to eliminate these two high-threat enemy units.

No matter how powerful the Type 94 armored train is, it must be destroyed.

Zhang Chengwu issued an order: "Attack aircraft groups 8 and 9, attack the enemy armored train."

"Fighter Groups 1 and 2, follow me to cover Groups 8 and 9. The rest of the aircraft will continue to attack the airport."

Immediately, Zhang Chengwu pushed the joystick and led 6 fighter planes and 6 attack planes towards the two Japanese Type armored trains.

ground.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, the two armored trains, the Hayate and Kamikaze, immediately rushed to support Wusu Airport.

On the Taiyuan Ring Railway, on the Gale armored train, from the observation post atop the command car, Major Tanaka shouted loudly on the telephone: "First round of artillery fire, hit the enemy plane!"

"Onboard..."

Suddenly, a burst of excited exclamations came from the telephone receiver.

The first round of shooting hit the Eighth Route Army plane, which indeed showed that this group of devils were well-trained and greatly boosted their morale.

"Keep firing!"

Major Tanaka said loudly and continued to observe through the telescope.

The 10 Type heavy machine guns on the vehicle were also firing, but they were too far away from the plane, and the ammunition belts they fired out looked as funny as weak urine. When they were less than one-third of the distance to the Eighth Route Army plane, the ammunition belts formed a fox line in the air and began to fall.

The Eighth Route Army aircraft could not be reached at all.

"Major, enemy planes are attacking!"

one observer exclaimed.

Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka immediately grabbed the phone and shouted, "Enemy planes spotted at one o'clock! Open fire immediately! Open fire immediately! If the train starts moving, it will be harder for the enemy planes to hit us!"

Looking at the plane approaching at high speed, Major Tanaka was a little panicked at this moment.

I felt the uncontrollable fear of the Chinese army facing the Japanese planes.

The Type 94 armored train started slowly and moved on the rails.

"Da da da……"

"Tum, tom!"

The 10 Type heavy machine guns on the Hayate suddenly opened fire.

The other two Type 75 3mm anti-aircraft guns also turned their muzzles and aimed at the three fighter jets attacking at high speed.

However, these three Mustang fighters attracted fire at an altitude of 3 meters, and the Type 1000 heavy machine guns posed little threat.

As for the Type 75 1922mm anti-aircraft gun, it was a very advanced anti-aircraft gun when it was first put into service in , but it is now outdated. It has difficulty dealing with high-speed fighters and cannot effectively attack high-altitude bombers.

While the three fighters were attracting frontal fire, another three attack aircraft approached from the flank of the Gale.

In the sky, the nose of the aircraft was aimed at the Gale armored train across the railway, and the pilots of three A-3 attack aircraft pressed the launch button almost at the same time.

One pilot shouted, "Japs, try the 127mm rockets!"

By the time Major Tanaka spotted the flanking aircraft, more than a dozen rockets, trailing long flames, were already approaching the Gale armored vehicle at high speed. (End of this chapter)
