Once he found the location, things would be much easier. Without hesitation, Li Mu crossed the position and flew towards the distance, soaring higher and higher until he reached an altitude of 5,000 meters.

After circling around for about five more minutes, the gunfire and artillery fire over the artillery position finally stopped.

Li Mu circled and flew back over the artillery position. Visibility was low at night, and at an altitude of 5,000 meters, it was equivalent to being 5 kilometers away. At night, such a distance was the best camouflage.

The next moment, Li Mu reached out the window, and a one-ton iron lump plummeted straight down... then a second, a third...

After flying out of the artillery position, Li Mu circled half a circle, passed the heavy artillery position again, and three more one-ton aerial bombs fell.

At this moment, the first three aerial bombs fell. Needless to say, the power of the one-ton aerial bombs was immense. After a deafening explosion, fist-sized fragments of the explosion, mixed with strong shockwaves, flew across the artillery positions. More than a dozen artillery pieces were sent flying into the air, and seven or eight were destroyed on the spot.

Three aerial bombs, each weighing one ton, destroyed nearly twenty artillery pieces on the spot.

As the second and third waves of aerial bombs fell, the artillery positions were completely devastated, as if they had been plowed through.

Five rounds later, fifteen one-ton aerial bombs were dropped, completely destroying the artillery position.

Although some artillery pieces were buried by the blasted mud and were only slightly damaged and still usable, there were not many left.

Such a commotion was naturally heard by the Japanese soldiers on other positions, who rushed out to stand guard.

This gave Li Mu an opportunity. He took out his binoculars and continued searching for targets. He spotted several infantry camps, but the Japanese soldiers were clearly scattered, so bombing them would only waste ammunition.

After observing for a while longer, his good eyesight finally came in handy, and he seemed to have spotted the Japanese armored vehicle positions.

Li Mu immediately flew over, regardless of whether it was true or not, to launch a bombardment first.

As a one-ton aerial bomb fell, Li Mu immediately took out his binoculars to observe. After a deafening explosion, a strong blast of air and shrapnel swept across, overturning more than a dozen armored vehicles, half of which were destroyed on the spot.

That's it, this is the armored position.

In the next few minutes, Li Mu dumped more than ten tons of bombs downwards, and the armored corps position was also blasted into a scorched earth.

Li Mu was finally satisfied and started looking for other targets, but unfortunately, the Japanese soldiers were becoming increasingly vigilant, and he couldn't find any other large targets for the time being, so he could only vent his anger on the infantry.

Fifty-kilogram aerial bombs began to rain down on what he thought were infantry targets; some were indeed camouflaged, while others actually carried notebooks.

They dropped over a hundred 50-kilogram aerial bombs, destroying more than forty real targets and causing approximately three to four hundred Japanese casualties.

Just then, the sound of an airplane engine could be heard in the distance. Li Mu knew that the little notebook's plane had arrived. He didn't plan to meet with it. He closed the canopy, accelerated to the maximum speed, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Chapter 451: The Bombing

On the other side, after the first earth-shattering explosion, Bai Zongxi, who was at the command post dozens of miles away, was suddenly awakened and ordered his guards to inquire about the situation.

Just as the guard stepped out the door, a series of earth-shattering explosions rang out in the distance. Bai Zongxi was both shocked and delighted, for the explosions were coming from the Japanese positions.

Two minutes later, news came from the front that a group of our bombers had apparently launched a large-scale bombing raid on the Japanese artillery positions.

Bai Zongxi was a little shocked. After several air battles with the Japanese, the principal was worried and dared not easily send out the few remaining fighter jets to preserve the hard-won air force strength.

What's going on now? Are they no longer conserving their strength? They actually dare to use all their resources to bombard the Japanese artillery positions.

Despite his doubts, as a commander with extensive battlefield experience, his ability to seize opportunities was also top-notch.

Listening to the continuous explosions from the Japanese positions, and based on the ongoing battle reports, it seemed that not only artillery positions were being bombed, but many positions of the Japanese 6th Division had also been subjected to large-scale bombing.

So what? After the bombing, a brief period of chaos is inevitable, which is the best time to attack.

With a command given, the 28th, 68th, and 84th Armies were all mobilized. As soon as the explosions stopped, they launched a full-scale attack on all the positions of the 6th Division.

The Japanese army lost most of its artillery and armored vehicles, greatly reducing its heavy firepower. In addition, the infantry was also panicked by Li Mu's bombing, and various positions were in dire need of attention.

The battle lasted all day, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses. The encirclement was further compressed, and Bai Zongxi saw hope of annihilating the Japanese 6th Division.

The only concern now is that the Japanese have opened a supply route in Jiujiang to resupply the 6th Division with ammunition and personnel.

With this passage, the little devils have the ability to recover their strength and continue fighting.

……

That evening, Li Mu looked at the battle reports coming back from the front lines and turned his attention to the Jiujiang region.

During this period, the 6th Division relied on this place to obtain personnel and supplies.

The next morning, under a clear moon, the I-16 once again soared into the night sky. An hour later, the fighter jet arrived near Jiujiang along the Yangtze River. Based on intelligence, Li Mu quickly located the port where Japanese transport ships were anchored.

Hovering at an altitude of 5,000 meters, Li Mu took out his binoculars and observed the ships in the port below clearly. There were three large transport ships, more than a dozen medium-sized transport ships, and hundreds of other transport vessels.

Li Mu gradually lowered his flight altitude, three thousand meters, two thousand meters, one thousand meters... The port staff on duty had already noticed, and the shrill air raid siren sounded.

Aiming at the three large transport ships, three one-ton aerial bombs were dropped in two seconds, flying over the port area. Li Mu climbed up and observed the effect from a distance.

Of the three aerial bombs, only one hit the large transport ship. Although it was only one bomb, its one-ton yield ensured its destructive power.

After a deafening roar, the large transport ship began to tilt and flood...

Without hesitation, Li Mu unleashed a barrage of aerial bombs: the second, third, fourth, and fifth batches. Three large transport ships, not far apart, were hit in succession, and more than a dozen other transport ships and medium-sized transport ships were also affected and sunk.

Looking at the hundreds of transport ships still floating on the water, these ships were smaller targets and harder to hit.

Li Mu changed tactics and began using petrol bombs made from three tons of gasoline and explosives. As a huge plastic barrel containing three tons of gasoline was dropped, it exploded instantly a dozen seconds later, hundreds of meters above the water, and the three tons of gasoline turned into a rain of fire that poured down.

Instantly, countless boats on the water were set ablaze, and even some small warehouses at the dock were affected.

However, that wasn't enough; the fire was too small. Li Mu then dropped ten more petrol bombs, equivalent to thirty tons of gasoline. The previously smoldering fire instantly transformed into a raging inferno, burning everything in its path—ships, transport vessels, dockside warehouses, cargo…

Looking down at the panicked crowd and the powerless anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons, Li Mu turned and flew back towards the Sixth Division.

Unfortunately, having learned their lesson yesterday, the people here are even more cautious and can't find a suitable target for the time being.

Li Mu was able to bomb those suspicious targets for a while, which did yield some results, but most of them were just disguises used by the Japanese to attract fire.

After checking the time, Li Mu realized that Xiao Benzi's plane should be arriving soon, so he returned to Nanyang.

……

In the following nights, Li Mu launched several more raids, bombing Japanese ships transporting ammunition, supplies, and troops along the Yangtze River, achieving remarkable results.

In an instant, the supply line was attacked, which not only made the Japanese soldiers panic and slowed down their offensive, but also gave the media extensive coverage, and countless people cheered.

Li Mu wasn't in such a good mood. Although he had achieved remarkable results these past few days, he had also been targeted by the "Little Notebook's" planes. Some of them even used temporary small airfields along the Yangtze River. As soon as Li Mu made his move, several planes buzzed over.

He didn't want to engage in air combat, so he had to evade, resulting in only the first few bombing raids being successful. In the last two days, just as he found a target and dropped a few bombs, Japanese planes arrived, forcing him to retreat in frustration.

Li Mu thought about it and realized that this wasn't a solution. He decided to deal with the small notebook's air superiority first.

Without air superiority, the forces that Guo Fu has gathered are enough to give the Japanese a run for their money.

After studying the intelligence for a while, there was no doubt that the closest airport to the front line for the Japanese was Nanjing Airport.

According to intelligence, this is currently the most active airport for the Japanese, with more than two hundred aircraft of various types parked here.

That's a great goal!

Several months ago, Li Mu sent people to Huoshan, located in the Dabie Mountains in the Lu'an area, to select a secluded location and build Huoshan Airport.

Because this area is currently under Japanese occupation, construction has been slower than that of the Yubei Airport. However, it was completed more than half a month ago.

It's over 200 kilometers from Huoshan to Nanjing, over 500 kilometers to Shanghai, and also over 500 kilometers to Hangzhou. In other words, if Huoshan Airport is taken as the origin, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai are all within the operational radius.

After contacting the guards at Huoshan Airport, he learned that everything was normal. Because it was an occupied area, to avoid attracting attention, Li Mu flew there that evening.

Upon reaching the skies above Mount Huo, we circled twice and quickly located the airport, nestled among several small hills deep within the mountains. Its secluded location made it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and hard to spot without careful observation.

After landing at the airport, Li Mu gave a brief inspection of Huoshan Airport. Everything was fine. As long as he didn't make a fuss, given its seclusion, it could operate for a long time.

That night, Li Mu studied maps and intelligence until late. After dozing off for a while, at one o'clock in the morning, he piloted his plane towards Nanjing in the dim night.

The Japanese attached great importance to Nanjing, and Li Mu flew with extra caution this time, maintaining an altitude of 8,000 meters. Half an hour later, he arrived near Nanjing.

To avoid being discovered, Li Mu carefully circled the outskirts of Jinling, located the area where the airport was located, and then began to descend, open the hatch, and use binoculars to survey the surroundings.

The airport was a large target; it was spotted immediately after circling halfway around in the air.

Li Mu carefully observed the airport through his binoculars. It covered a large area and contained many aircraft, including approximately 150 fighter jets, 30 bombers, and 20 transport and reconnaissance planes.

In addition, fuel depots, barracks, pilot dormitories... were quickly located by comparing them with intelligence.

So, let's get started!

The plane remained at an altitude of 5,000 meters, passing over the airport. Then, within four seconds, five one-ton aerial bombs fell straight down towards the airport below.

After flying out of the airport area, Li Mu circled in the air for half a turn, then flew over the airport again, and swish, swish, swish... another five one-ton aerial bombs fell.

In the next two minutes, under Li Mu's extreme maneuvering, a total of sixty tons of aerial bombs were poured down from the sky above the airport.

The staff sent to the airport looked ashen-faced as the metal lumps fell from the sky.

With each deafening explosion, countless shrapnel and shockwaves transformed the airport into a living hell, tearing countless planes to shreds and sending debris soaring into the sky…

Ignoring the carnage below, Li Mu circled around and arrived near the oil depot, barracks, and pilots' quarters. One after another, 250-kilogram aerial bombs were dropped. Although many ground crew and pilots had evacuated, many who wanted to salvage supplies or even fly their planes to fight Li Mu were easily killed by the bombs.

Soon after, an even louder explosion was heard, and flames shot up hundreds of meters into the air; the oil depot had exploded.

Looking at his masterpiece, Li Mu felt very pleased. However, there were still some who slipped through the net below, so he used the same 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 hundreds of meters above the ground, turning the three tons of gasoline into a rain of fire that splashed in all directions.

Subsequently, Li Mu dropped fifteen of these specially made incendiary bombs in one go, turning forty-five tons of gasoline into a rain of fire that poured down, igniting the entire airport into a raging inferno.

At this moment, anti-aircraft weapons began to fire in succession from all around: anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns, and even a considerable number of anti-aircraft cannons…

At his current height, anti-aircraft machine guns and laser cannons pose little threat, but anti-aircraft guns are a significant threat.

Li Mu didn't delay. The next moment, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
