My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 287 The Late Counterattack

"Damn it! Those two 40-caliber anti-aircraft guns also went off!"

Yu Xiaoqing, who was full of anger, couldn't help but punched the tree trunk. The miserable scene in the distance made him resentful.

"Have you contacted Hertrin yet!?" Liao Mingyu put down the binoculars, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, the telegram has been sent, and Colonel Hertling replied that two squadrons of fighter jets have been launched into the air." The signalman replied immediately.

Hearing this, Liao Mingyu felt a little relieved. Hertling's flying squadron is in Baoshan. If it takes less than 10 minutes to take off now, it will be able to reach the sky above Zenda.

The convoy was still two miles away from Zenda, and the soldiers had all hid in the woods, and all the trucks had moved under the big trees on both sides of the road, and covered them with branches and banana leaves to prevent them from being spotted by enemy planes.

Facing the indiscriminate bombing by the little devils, the three hundred or so of them were completely helpless. They could only watch the enemy planes raging overhead, and had no other choice but to call for support from the planes.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he didn't enter Zenda before the bombing began, otherwise it would have hit his wish.

Here, there is a division chief of staff and an army commander. If something goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow to the two troops.

"Didn't those Yankees with their noses up in the sky fly into the sky all day long? So many Japanese fighter planes came and they didn't find it. What are they doing for food!"

He Shuguang on the side was indignant and spit bad things about the Americans, but he closed his mouth resentfully after being glared at by Yu Xiaoqing.

In fact, American reconnaissance planes patrol the sky almost every day, but I don't know why the Japanese didn't have the slightest warning for such a big movement this time.

"Most likely the little devils figured out their patrol time."

Liao Mingyu stared at Zenda who was in the distance with a cold look, and said slowly.Apart from this, the chaos and dereliction of duty of the two Chinese armies are the biggest reason.

This bombing operation in Little Japan was very successful. Several barracks around Zenda were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and countless people were killed or injured.

The 8th Army and the 6th Army suffered varying degrees of losses, and it was difficult for them to even counterattack normally under the attack of the Japanese.

In the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than the lack of air defense awareness and air defense means.When many soldiers and officers were attacked, they didn't think of how to fight back at the first time, but mixed with the crowd and ran away.

Only a few people with backbone are still surrounded by the few remaining anti-aircraft guns, trying to make a difficult resistance.

……

"Don't whine about there, let me fucking move!"

Mi Long raised his pistol and roared sharply. After killing the major officer, he urged the deserters back to the anti-aircraft artillery position.

Several deserters were frightened by the murderous Milong, and a company commander would kill him if he wanted to. This is definitely not something that ordinary people dare to do. How could they dare to resist more.

In addition to the destroyed 40mm anti-aircraft gun, the other one is still standing intact. Milong is so angry that these bastards who obviously have anti-aircraft weapons only want to escape, are they worthy of being called soldiers?
"How do you play with this cannon? Hurry up and let me move!"

The soldiers quickly started to operate. At this time, the enemy planes were still roaring in the sky, and there was not much resistance on the Zenda position.

The three Type [-] bombers had already dropped their aerial bombs and were preparing to return under the protection of several Falcons, but the remaining fighters did not intend to leave.

There were not many anti-aircraft guns on the ground, but they also shot down 4 Japanese fighter planes. Although the little devils destroyed all these anti-aircraft guns, they didn't want to let it go.

The six Falcons in the sky turned their noses again and continued to dive and shoot at the gathering places below. The soldiers and civilians who lost their ability to fight back were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Two Falcons flew across the sky at low altitude, and the Devil pilots were obsessed with observing the situation below, and they were still looking for any other targets to strike below.

"Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump..."

At this moment, a long string of shells suddenly hit behind him. Before he had time to react, the shrapnel from the explosion hit the fuselage, and the plane lost control and fell to the ground in an instant.

The wingman flying with the fighter was taken aback, and the pilot immediately pulled up the joystick to evade, but the shells fired from the same direction followed closely along his flight path.

"Come on! Don't let him get away!"

Milong shouted loudly next to the anti-aircraft gun. Although he could not operate the artillery, he also carried the ammunition box to help carry the shells. Seven or eight soldiers struggled to control the anti-aircraft guns and bit the Japanese fighter plane trying to escape.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The plane finally failed to escape the pursuit of the shells, one of which hit the wing directly, and the thin-skinned Falcon rolled and fell like a big bird with broken wings.

"Haha, that's right!"

Milong laughed happily, and slapped a soldier on the back, causing the latter to almost stagger and fall to the ground.

The skills of these air defense soldiers are really good, and they successfully killed the two birds with one shot.

It's just that they obviously have rich operational skills but have no will to fight. As long as the situation is not right, they immediately think of running away instead of trying to continue fighting, especially under the command of a waste officer.

However, it can also play a role under the control of Milong. After all, there are no born cripples in this world, only kings who don't work hard.

"Ammo! Quick!"

"coming!"

The Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun is fed by a magazine, but each time it only has 20 rounds of ammunition. Under a fierce shooting, the air defense soldiers quickly ran out of ammunition.

The soldiers began to press bombs and turn around in full force. Although they knocked out two enemy planes, their positions were also exposed. With their toes, they could imagine that other Japanese fighter planes would definitely fly here in an instant!

At the same time, the remaining Falcons were about to turn their heads around and launch an attack again, but unexpectedly there were several rapid whistling sounds from the direction above their heads.

Twelve U.S. P40 fighter planes finally arrived at the battlefield, and without a word, they immediately swooped down from high altitude and fired wildly at these Japanese fighter planes.

Two Falcons were turned into hornet's nests on the spot, and exploded in the air with a piercing sound. Other Japanese pilots dared not stay when they saw this, and immediately turned around and ran away.

But the Yankees followed closely behind and continued to pursue, determined to destroy this group of little Japanese before giving up.

They were scolded by the commander before they attacked, and they were already holding back their anger. How could they let this group of little Japanese leave safely at this moment.

The fierce battle in the sky continued, and the devastated Zenda finally calmed down at this moment, but the town lost its former prosperity.

The streets were filled with smoke and chaos, countless houses and buildings were blown up, and the military camps around the town were also devastated.

Even the bridge body of Huitong Bridge, which was repaired not long ago, was blown off. It is conceivable how much damage the Japanese bombing caused.
