Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 471: Have fun

The idea is good and the tactics are correct. Aircraft will always have the upper hand against anti-aircraft artillery. But the reality is cruel. This is just a group of anti-aircraft artillery firing. In order to fight this battle well, Tang Qiuli did not hesitate to spend money to control the enemy in North China.

All the anti-aircraft firepower was mobilized to this airspace. How did the Japanese Air Force commander know this situation?

They followed normal ground attack practices, first getting out of the range of anti-aircraft fire, and then looking for attack angles. Therefore, the Japanese army was divided into three groups, and organized attack waves in groups. As long as one attack was needed, these abominable aircraft could be wiped out.

The Chinese who only knew how to make sneak attacks left corpses everywhere.

Na Cheng thought, as soon as he pulled up the plane and transferred to another airspace, another artillery shell as dense as locusts came on the ground. To avoid it, there was still an endless rain of bullets. The huge sky was shrouded in smoke and clouds caused by the explosion of anti-aircraft shells. The Japanese army

Wherever the plane turned, long-awaited anti-aircraft shells were waiting for them, and Japanese planes continued to explode in the sky or fall to the ground dragging thick smoke.

The sky became a death trap. In the direction in which the Japanese aircraft flew, there were roaring artillery shells, knocking them back. Visible tongues of flame weaved into a web of death, and the Japanese aircraft were like boiling water in a pot.

dumplings. At this time, the Japanese aircraft had no idea of ​​attacking the ground for a long time. They were just thinking about how not to be hit and could fly back intact. It was the special grace of Amaterasu.

By this time, the Japanese commanders of the three air forces understood that they were surrounded by the Chinese. They were so angry that the planes used to hit ground targets were actually hit by anti-aircraft guns and they were trying to escape.

It's not easy, it's strange,

Where did the Chinese get so much anti-aircraft firepower? There are not more than a dozen air defense regiments that cannot reach this scale. Also, how come the Chinese anti-aircraft guns are so accurate? Most of the imperial planes were hit directly and exploded. It was terrifying.

Chinese!

"Return!" the commander issued the order. In fact, he was running for his life. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, not only did he fail to destroy the Chinese anti-aircraft firepower, but his own losses were doubled. If he continued to fight, he would lose all his money. He had to run for his life.

I also thought about calling a group of bombers to come to help in the battle, but finally my head was not wet. Such fierce anti-aircraft firepower and clumsy bombers were good targets.

The battle lasted until around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese fleet finally broke out of the encirclement and ran away without daring to look back. The situation was reversed. The fierce pursuers became fleeers, while the pursued became

Hunters, the Gao Zhihang fleet waiting in the sky, intercepted

After shooting down more than 20 Japanese planes, they had no fighting spirit. The frightened Japanese pilots dared to fight. After being shot down fourteen times, they fled. Because of Tang Qiuli's strict orders, the fleet did not pursue them.

With the smoke of victory, we returned to Dingbian Airport.

The air defense force took advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese planes to escape and quickly moved their positions, preparing to deal another fierce blow to the Japanese planes that dared to attack again. This time, they told them not to run away. Who knows, when the sky completely darkened, they would not be able to escape.

Seeing the slightest trace of Japanese aircraft, the officers and soldiers of the air defense force were unwilling to give up and gave up with great regret.

Remember this date. On October 26, 1937, Tang Qiuli commanded a mixture of air and ground firepower. After careful arrangements, he used a brand-new tactics to engage in a fierce battle with a large Japanese aircraft group in the sky of North China.

The long-distance attack on Japanese airfields in the Ping-Tianjin area achieved brilliant results. The air force of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force and all important field airfields were completely destroyed, and it was difficult to recover for a while.

Afterwards, more than 300 fighter jets from the three Kwantung Army air fleets chasing Gao Zhihang's fleet fell into an ambush circle of ground anti-aircraft firepower arranged around Huangyadong. After more than two hours of fierce battle, the Kwantung Army Air Force was defeated miserably.

and escape,

A total of more than 210 fighter jets were shot down, with more than two-thirds of the losses, and their vitality was severely damaged. Air Force Colonel Yoshinoro, the commander of the Yoshinoro Air Force, was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and together with the fighter planes, he became a flower in the sky of Northern China.

Smoke and cloud.

More importantly, of all the Japanese aircraft that were shot down, none of the pilots survived. Even those who parachuted were torn to pieces by the heavy rain of shrapnel in the air. This was a heavy blow to the Japanese. For the Japanese,

Flying hundreds of airplanes won't hurt your muscles and bones, but it takes time to train pilots.

This war immediately caused a great shock in Japan, even more than at the beginning of the July 7th Incident. Public opinion was in an uproar. People were held accountable, petitioned, committed suicide, cried bitterly in front of the ***, and burned themselves with gasoline.

.

For the ambitious Japanese Air Force, it was a heavy blow. It originally wanted to take advantage of the war with China to achieve a status alongside the army and navy, so as not to be dependent on them and be restricted everywhere. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has

The Air Force has never achieved the status of an independent military force, which makes the Air Force's senior management troubled and worried.

They are proud eagles who do not look down upon the army and navy. However, under the protection of others, they can only compromise. The cruel reality, the huge losses in the air battle in North China, and the serious defeat ruthlessly shattered the highest-ranking officers of the air force.

It is said that three or four general-level Japanese Air Force officers committed suicide by caesarean section. Perhaps they could not see the eagle of the Japanese Empire spreading its wings in the sky of China that day. They were pessimistic and disappointed, coupled with extreme

His grief and anger led him to the road of no return.

Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" wrote with sadness, "On October 26, the outcome of the air battle in North China was a heavy blow to the empire's aviation industry. The citizens no longer had unlimited respect for the aviation industry, and even had a

They doubted their combat effectiveness. The extremely weak combat power of the China Air Force was able to defeat the so-called invincible Japanese Air Force. More and more young people pinned their ideals of opening up territories for His Majesty the Emperor on the army and navy."

Tang Qiuli didn't know the reaction of the Japanese yet. He was looking at the battle results and battle damage reports. He was surprised by the results of the ground air defense forces. In one fell swoop, the Kwantung Army Air Force almost lost its capital.

, but a corresponding price was paid. More than 400 air defense force soldiers were killed, and 63 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed by enemy planes.

What impressed him was that Gao Zhihang's aircraft fleet blew up and shot down more than a hundred Japanese aircraft. He actually lost none and only suffered minor damage to three aircraft. It completely destroyed the air power of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force. This was astonishing.

The record will also cause a sensation in the country. The myth of the Japanese Air Force's invincibility has been shattered. He began to have a headache, how to deal with Gao Zhihang, who had won the battle.

At Dingbian Airport, the afterglow of the sunset dyed everything golden and red. Tang Qiuli and a group of officers stood at the end of the airport runway. Behind him, a dozen heavily armed special guard soldiers were filled with murderous intent.

It made these officers feel anxious.

Everyone knows that the division commander is most taboo about disobedience on the battlefield. Every step of his battle plan is interconnected. If one link fails to meet the requirements, the entire plan will be destroyed. This is something he will never allow. It seems that,

Gao Zhihang is going to suffer a lot this time.

Covered in the afterglow of the sunset, the fleet returned victoriously. There were cheers at the airport. Gao Zhihang was the first to land. Then, the planes landed safely one after another. Tang Qiuli counted them, plus the bomber fleet that had returned,

There are many fights. This unruly guy is actually a brave and resourceful general in battle. He can stand alone, but his bad habit of disobeying orders is really worrying.

Gao Zhihang jumped off the plane, walked up to Tang Qiuli, saluted solemnly as a military salute, and reported loudly: "Vice Chairman Tang, the fourth group of fighter jets has successfully completed the planned combat plan, and all fighter planes have not been lost. Please give me instructions, sir!" the voice said!

Neither arrogant nor impetuous, and not a trace of pride can be seen.

Then, he made an unexpected move. He took off the pistol from his waist and handed it to Tang Qiuli with both hands. "Vice Chairman Tang, I decided to lead a team to fight against the Japanese aircraft without asking for instructions, which violated the commander's policy."

Preliminary instruction, please deal with it!" After saying that, he kept his hands still, and the black and shiny pistol lay quietly in the palm of his hand. His face was calm. The jubilant airport suddenly fell silent. Everyone wanted to know what the division commander should do.

This hero who disobeyed military orders.

Tang Qiuli tilted his head and looked at Gao Zhihang. He felt funny in his heart. This guy had a good brain. In front of so many people, he pointed out his mistakes clearly and with a sincere attitude. The ball was thrown into his hands.

, this is a deliberate attempt to bully me. You can't put the first hero who shot down a Japanese plane in front of so many people in a cell, right?

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and smiled, "Captain Gao, you are treating me as your opponent and taking the initiative, leaving me with no choice. You are so smart! Come on, I can't punish you, an aerial combat hero.

Come on, put your gun away, this is the second life of a soldier!"

Everyone's tense hearts suddenly dropped into their stomachs, and they admired the teacher's character and character even more. Gao Zhihang was stunned, and it was over. If it had been in the hands of that surnamed Mao, this would be a huge crime.

Even if he didn't risk his own life, he had to be dismissed from his post and investigated, so that he could pass the test. He didn't react for a while and was a little dazed.

Li Guidan and Le Yiqin were all paying attention to the situation. As soldiers, they knew what it was to disobey orders on the battlefield. With the identity and status of Vice Chairman Tang, it was no problem to deal with government officials, let alone someone who had no connections.

Colonel, they looked at Tang Qiuli nervously, with their hearts in their throats. They had seen Mao Bangchu's face a lot, and when they saw the unexpected result, they rushed over with cheers, and they were in the mood to express the joy of victory.

Tang Qiuli announced loudly, "Dear air combat heroes, the Dingbian City Government has prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. You don't have to go back unless you get drunk tonight!" The airport was filled with joy again, and when he looked at Tang Qiuli, there was something strange in his eyes.

This mood, especially Le Yiqin's young heart, was even more exciting. Perhaps, from this moment on, he had the idea of ​​following Tang Qiuli throughout his life.

At the dinner, everyone was drunk, including Tang Qiuli. What could be more exciting than going into battle to kill the enemy and drinking celebratory wine when you come back? There is a saying that "you must have all the fun in life", and he can kill the Japanese with his own hands.

, should be the proudest moment for every successful person, there is no reason not to get drunk and go home.
