My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 400 Decisive Battle in Myitkyina

Six o'clock the next day... The sky is already bright, the dawn has just lifted the dark veil of the night, and the quiet morning is extraordinarily quiet...

On the Myitkyina position, the Japanese were eating breakfast. During this time, the enemy would come and fire a few shots from time to time almost every day. If they didn't hurry up to deal with it, they might be hungry all morning.

"Drinking this thing every day, when will you be tall?"

"Hirata-kun, do you still have cigarettes?"

"It's long gone, but I heard that the captain..."

"Baga! Don't talk, hurry up and eat!"

Several Japanese soldiers gathered together to whisper to each other, and the sergeant next to them saw them, and they were trained on the spot.

Because of the enemy's long-term blockade, the entire army had to cut down on clothing and food. Each person only had a bowl of porridge that could be cleared to the bottom, and the officers only had one or two extra rice balls at most.

Looking at the clear soup and porridge in the bowl, Juncao felt very uncomfortable. If the situation continued to deteriorate, he might not even have to drink the porridge in the end.

buzzing...

"Enemy plane?"

"Ha Yaku! Sound the air raid siren!"

Suddenly, a roar broke the tranquility of the surrounding area, and the alarms sounded instantly in various positions of the Japanese army. The nervous Japanese soldiers ran back and forth in the trenches, and the tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.

A few small dots appeared in the pale sky, and as time went by, those dots became bigger and bigger, and the number multiplied, and everyone knew what would happen next.

The huge fuselage of the bomber has been seen by everyone now. For this battle, all parties have worked hard, especially the U.S. military has also transferred 35 B17 sky fortresses from the Pacific theater, and together with more than [-] bombers in Southeast Asia. China came as if Mount Tai was overwhelmed.

The three aviation brigades dispatched more than 200 fighter planes to escort them. With the roar of the planes, the noise of the engines even covered the Japanese sirens.

"Good guy... This is a strategic bombing operation. If I have these possessions, I'll be bald!"

Outside the front headquarters of the Third Division, Liao Mingyu stood watching from a high place with a binoculars. The huge scene in front of him made people feel extremely excited.

At this moment, all the military officers around him were the same as him, and their hearts were filled with shock as they watched this scene.

"Junzao, the Japanese plane has also taken off!"

Up to now, the Japanese Army Aviation Brigade has less than [-] aircraft that can still fight, and most of the pilots are injured, but it is obvious that they do not intend to sit still. Dozens of Falcon fighter planes rose one after another.

The air defense position on the ground was also fully prepared. The little devil peeled off the camouflage, revealing the anti-aircraft guns of various calibers underneath, just waiting for the enemy planes to come within range.

call out……

"Da da da da da!"

boom!boom!
The two sides quickly launched a fierce air battle. The U.S. fighter planes had an overwhelming advantage. In order to clear the bombers as soon as possible, they used wolf pack tactics, chasing and intercepting the Japanese fighter planes in groups of two.

The Japanese are not to be outdone, because there is no way out now. They are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of fighters, but they are not inferior to the opponent in terms of momentum. With the cooperation of the ground air defense system, they are fighting tenaciously with the US military.

The dense fighter planes are like dense flocks of birds, as if the entire sky has become dim.

A series of fire snakes rose from the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun, blooming dazzling colors in the sky that had not yet fully dawned, and the delayed fuze caused the shells to explode at a height of a thousand meters.

The fighter planes whizzed past in the sky, the deafening sound resounded through the sky, and the bullets crazily passed through it. From time to time, planes dragged black smoke and fell towards the ground, and fireballs exploded in the air abound...

Although it is not comparable to the air battles with thousands of sorties on the European battlefield, the melee battles of hundreds of fighters are extremely rare on the Asian battlefield.

The Japanese even used their jade smashing method in the sky, frantically maneuvering the plane towards the US bomber.Coupled with the support of various anti-aircraft artillery on the ground, the US military suffered a lot of losses for a while.

Now is the time for those eagles in the sky to fight, and the troops on the ground have instead become spectators. Although they are anxious, they are helpless.

"Hmph... 12.7 mm, 25 mm, eh?... There are 75 calibers? You really have a lot of anti-aircraft weapons."

Liao Mingyu's location is relatively high, and he can roughly overlook the entire battlefield. Through the high-powered artillery team mirror, he saw many anti-aircraft guns that the Japanese army was in a meeting.

"Notify Li Liansheng, ask Krupp to take care of these exposed anti-aircraft artillery positions, and aim for me to bombard him!" Liao Mingyu frowned and thought for a while, then ordered.

"Yes, Junzuo."

……

At this time, the Artillery Regiment of the Third Division was also crowded. The soldiers did nothing else. They all stared at the planes fighting in the sky. It was a joy to watch. If a Japanese fighter plane was shot down, there would be fierce applause immediately. .

"Okay! Another one!"

"Hey, Little Japan doesn't have many planes..."

"Oh, it's not good! Why did they bump into each other? It's a pity..."

Unlike the artillerymen who were whispering to each other, there was only one man squatting out of place in the corner, holding a can in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth hungrily, and there was a pile of empty cans at his feet.

At this time, Li Liansheng pushed everyone away and came to the position. He looked around but didn't see the person he was looking for. He asked quickly, "Where are the Krupps? Where's your deputy commander!?"

"Um... over there..." A soldier pointed to the fat figure behind the crowd and whispered.

"You bastard!"

Li Liansheng took a closer look and saw that Krupp was hiding there, eating canned luncheon meat.Look at the empty cans in that place, this grandson has definitely eaten a box.

Furious, he picked up a stone, threw it over without any explanation, and shouted angrily, "Fatty man! Don't fucking eat it, come here and have a blast!"

"Fire? Where?"

Krupp was stunned by the stone, turned his head and looked over in a daze, meat residue and grease were still hanging on his fat face.

Li Liansheng was speechless, and pointed to the Japanese positions in front of him and said, "Did you see those anti-aircraft guns that were firing endlessly? Let's hit them!"

When it came to shooting cannons, Krupp came alive, rubbed his big greasy hands on his clothes, and asked the soldiers for binoculars. With a body weighing more than 200 kilograms, he was as flexible as a gorilla, and he climbed onto the gun mount after three times and five times.

"This ghost shot angle is not easy to hit..." Krupp mused.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese army were arranged very far away from them inside the position, and they were deliberately arranged extremely concealed in order to avoid being targeted. It was absolutely difficult to find if they did not fire. It would be a test of the gunner's skill to strike them accurately with artillery.

Li Liansheng came up and smiled mysteriously: "Ahem...Jun Zuo said, if you kill a half-box of luncheon meat as a reward, if you can kill the three 75mm anti-aircraft guns in front, I will directly roast a leg of lamb for you! "

This sentence seemed to give Krupp a boost, and he rubbed his hands together nervously. He who was not sure at first suddenly became eager to try.

"Let's go to the 75th mountain artillery position."
