Chapter 1531 Air Dominance

Before dawn the next day, Naozaburo Okabe ordered five reconnaissance planes to take off from Chifeng Airport to carry out reconnaissance... He still had a glimmer of hope that the Eighth Route Army wanted to fight at night and not march during the day.

Naozaburo Okabe's idea can actually be established.

Aren't the half-track vehicles of the Eighth Route Army afraid of airplanes?

And planes don't have the ability to fight at night, so the Eighth Route Army only needs to march at night and hide during the day.

Although this will delay the time for the Eighth Route Army to arrive at Chifeng, as long as the time is calculated, it is possible to arrive at Chifeng and launch an attack the next night.

Naozaburo Okabe thought to himself: If the Eighth Route Army had made this plan, then the pressure on Chifeng would be much less. At that time, Chifeng would just have to persist until dawn. The Eighth Route Army without air supremacy would definitely be killed or injured by the bombing and strafing of the air force. heavy.

However, Naozaburo Okabe's wish soon came to nothing.

Not long after the reconnaissance planes were sent out, one after another was shot down by fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army.

Naozaburo Okabe found it strange, he almost roared and asked Sanji Okido: "Asshole, our reconnaissance planes have all been shot down, and we don't even know where their airport is built!"

No wonder Naozaburo Okabe lost his temper.

From Zhangjiakou to the north, it has been under the control of the imperial army for many years. Even though the Eighth Route Army has reached Duolun County, this area can still be said to be the home field for the imperial army. As the eyeliner of the army, there are countless intelligence personnel who can provide intelligence to the empire.

However, the Eighth Route Army was able to build an airfield near Chifeng, but Sanji Ojodo, who was in charge of intelligence collection, knew nothing about it.

Dachenghu Sanzhi was so scolded that he didn't dare to say a word. He also found it strange that the farthest combat radius of the Eighth Route Army's "La 5" was only 300 kilometers, while Chifeng was 500 kilometers away from the town of Jiulian occupied by the Eighth Route Army and Duolun County. 400 kilometers, how did the Eighth Route Army drive the "La 5" over Chifeng to patrol and shoot down the imperial reconnaissance plane?

Sanji Okito stared at the map on the desktop in a daze, thinking about what went wrong with his intelligence network, why such a large airport could be missed by the intelligence personnel.

Sanji Okito seemed to understand when he saw Lu Nuer Hushan in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, General!" Sanji Okito said, "Will the Eighth Route Army...will build the airport in the mountains?"

"Mountain area? How is that possible!" Naozaburo Okabe replied without thinking, "How do they transport food, fuel and ammunition..."

Naozaburo Okabe understood before he finished speaking. He sat back on his chair and said, "The helicopter is the helicopter of the Eighth Route Army!"

This is actually not difficult to guess, as long as there are helicopters to transport replenishment and ammunition into the mountains, there will be no problem, so the only problem left to build the airport is to find a relatively flat open land.

Naozaburo Okabe did not think of it until this time, because he was not used to adding the role of helicopters to his combat thinking, or it could be said that he did not know that helicopters had this purpose.

Then Okito Sanzhi's face changed drastically, and he reminded: "Your Excellency, if the Eighth Route Army has an airport in a mountainous area, does that mean they have the ability to bomb Chifeng Airport?"

Naozaburo Okabe jumped up from his chair as if being pricked by a needle, and ordered palely: "Immediately order Chifeng Airport, and all fighter planes take off urgently..."

But it was still too late.

Before Naozaburo Okabe finished speaking, a communications soldier stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, Chifeng Airport has been bombed, and a large number of fighter planes have been destroyed!"

So Okabe Naozaburo knew that the Eighth Route Army once again had air supremacy, and it could maintain it for quite a long time.

The reason is that Chifeng Airport is full of fighter planes, and it is the most advanced "Flying Swallow" fighter plane in the empire... Duolun County Airport was bombed by the Eighth Route Army, and Naozaburo Okabe transferred the fighter planes to Chifeng.

Originally, he thought that the fighter planes in Chifeng were very safe. It was four to five hundred kilometers away from the front line, which was already outside the combat radius of the Eighth Route Army fighter planes.

But this distance is within the combat radius of "Feiyan" and "Zero War", so the Imperial Air Force can fight comfortably.

Who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would come to this move, and a temporary airport was secretly built in the mountains near Chifeng, which directly brought about a big reversal.

The situation on the battlefield made Okabe Naozaburo break out in cold sweat. He couldn't believe that one second he thought the Imperial Army had the upper hand, and the next second he found that the Eighth Route Army had already prepared all the deployments in advance. Okabe Naozaburo didn't even dare How much is the specific loss of Chifeng Airport?

In fact, the loss of Chifeng Airport was not as big as Naozaburo Okabe imagined. The reason was that the Eighth Route Army was in a hurry to build the airport and the helicopter capacity was limited, so it only had time to transport more than [-] rockets.

As soon as the sky dawned, the aviation team fired all the more than a hundred rockets at the devil's airport...

Although the rocket has many advantages, such as being able to attack the target from a long distance without facing the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun, the disadvantage is that it is not accurate enough.

The number of quasi-heads could have been compensated by quantity, but the number of more than one hundred rockets is not too much.

Only a dozen or so bombs hit the airport in a batch.

Originally, the devil's loss would have been much smaller. Who knew that Naozaburo Okabe just ordered the reconnaissance plane to go out for reconnaissance, and the devil ordered several "Feiyan" to fill up the fuel and stand by the runway so that they could take off immediately to fight if there was any situation.

At that time, the two vehicles used for refueling had not had time to return. The rockets of the Eighth Route Army immediately caused a fire at the airport. More than [-] "Flying Swallows" and more than ten "Zero Fighters" were dispatched, and there were more than [-] reconnaissance and bombers.

Fortunately for the devils, those bombers did not hang any bombs, otherwise the entire airport might have been destroyed.

The devil's air force actually has the idea of ​​counterattack.

They do have the power to fight back, because the lost fighters are only half of the strength of Chifeng Airport.

If the devils use "Flying Swallow" and "Zero War" to escort the bombers to fly over the Eighth Route Army airport to bomb, the air supremacy will probably return to the devils... After all, it is a temporary airport for the Eighth Route Army, and it is still in the mountains. Fuel and ammunition facilities are very simple.

The fact is also true. The Eighth Route Army just dug a few tunnels around the airport to store barrels of fuel, and a lot of ammunition was piled up under the trees because the tunnels could not be dug in time.

The problem with the devils is...they only know that the Eighth Route Army built an airport in the mountains but they don't know where the Eighth Route Army built the airport.

Therefore, they don't know where to fly if they want to fight back!
