Chapter 270 Fighting in Air Superiority
The 22nd Division distributed its forces in Sagaing and Mandalay on both sides of the Ayeyarwady River according to the method of light front and heavy weight. In Sagaing, the 84th Regiment was deployed for defense, while in Mandalay, the main forces of the 85th Regiment and 86th Regiment faced the river. deploy.

Primarily protected against Allied forces attacking from the west.

After the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yoshida Saburo, dispatched the artillery regiment, he urgently requested a new batch of artillery from the 75th Army. The new artillery regiment has just been formed, but this time it basically uses [-]mm mountain artillery and field artillery Mainly.

The strength is much worse than the original artillery wing.

For the 22nd Division, the good news is that Mandalay is an important place that the little devils must defend. After they occupied it, they used heavy artillery to establish two fortress-style artillery positions, one on Mount Sagaing and the other on Mande Le River.

There are four 4mm cannon artillery positions in the middle of Sagaing Mountain, and a 150mm naval gun fort by the Mandalay River.

The range of these heavy artillery is more than 15 kilometers, and the range of the 150mm cannon is as high as 18 kilometers. For Gao Jianwu, it is obviously a huge threat. Compared with Monywa, the defense position of the little devils in Mandalay is stronger. too much.

Not only artillery with larger calibers, but also artillery fortresses constructed of reinforced concrete to protect the cannons, which can effectively defend against the bombardment of 155mm heavy artillery.

Unless the shell directly hits the narrow space in the direction of the muzzle.

But for long-range artillery, this probability is almost equal to zero.

Even if Gao Jianwu has a high-precision map indicating the exact coordinate position, the shelling still has an error of tens of meters.Even if it is a cover bombardment, it is of little use in the face of this fortress-style fort.

When the little devil was designing, he also formed a crossfire between the two fortresses, so that the two fortresses in Sagaing and Mandalay were basically within the defensive range of the two fortresses.

Colonel Smith still dutifully collected all kinds of intelligence here.Gao Jianwu looked at Mandalay's defense system and felt that it would be a headache if only the army was dispatched.But don't forget that he still has an air force of 6 fighters.

"On the 2nd, on the 2nd, I have already seen the enemy's fortress. It is 1 o'clock on the right. I am going to start the dive bombing." Lu Xingguo said to his wingman.

As the main force in bombing the enemy's fort this time, Lu Xingguo took the lead in undertaking the first wave of bombing missions.

There are still four fighter planes waiting behind him to bomb these fortresses in the air.If Lu Xingguo can't succeed. .

The Mustang fighter jet can mount two 2-pound aerial bombs. In the face of such heavy aerial bombs, all fortresses are scum.

The air force of the Mandalay kid has been killed by the Allied air force.

It was like a tortoise appeared in front of Lu Xingguo with its air defense stripped off.

Lu Xingguo took a fancy to the location of the fortress and began to dive towards him. In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, it lowered the altitude to 500 meters.After calculating the advance amount, Lu Xingguo decisively dropped the bomb as he was about to approach the fortress.

Then quickly pull up the fighter.The anti-aircraft guns of the little devil on the ground started to shoot crazily, and the bullets whizzed around the Lu Xingguo fighter plane.

However to no avail.

The kill hit rate of anti-aircraft guns against fighters is really touching.

Lu Xingguo's wingman observed the effect of the bombing from behind.The bomb was thrown next to the fort, raising a corner, but it was obvious that the fort was not blown back.

It's just that I don't know how many little devil artillerymen in the fortress can survive.

In terms of the power of the blockbuster, there shouldn't be any left.

But if the fort is still there, their mission is not over.

Lu Xingguo's wingman was his comrade in battle.At this moment, it was observed from the rear that the target was not destroyed, but the anti-aircraft artillery fire was exposed, and the nose was lowered without hesitation and began to dive.

The Mustang fighter roared towards the little devil's anti-aircraft cannon position. The 4 anti-aircraft cannons next to the turret aimed at the Mustang fighter crazily and fired, but they couldn't keep up with the changing distance of the fighter. The Devil's anti-aircraft cannon position did not hesitate to drop the 500-pound aerial bomb.

With a loud bang, the little devil's anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery instantly shattered into a pile of fragments!
"Number 2, well done!" Lu Xingguo praised his wingman loudly.

Turning the corner, he pointed the Mustang fighter jet at the fortress turret again. This time, he lowered the height, and dropped another 300-pound aerial bomb at a place that might not even be 500 meters away!

This time the bomb landed right on top of the fort.After the violent explosion, the entire fort was also cracked!
The second fort fortress was also quickly killed by the air force.

As long as there is no interference from anti-aircraft fire.That kind of fixed fortress is a dish of heavy aerial bombs.

"Okay, everyone, now the air force has finished their work. It's our turn to start working." Gao Jianwu heard that the air force had solved the enemy's fortress.Start commanding three attack groups to move forward.

This was the first time that Gao Jianwu felt the benefits of air superiority. After finishing the fort fortress, the little devils in Mandalay had nothing to stop him from moving forward.

The three attack groups Chu Yunfei, Xu Shida and Zhang Dabiao immediately began to advance synchronously according to the plan.

Chu Yunfei's second attack group advanced towards Sagaing Town. His mission was to take down Sagaing Town and completely destroy the position of the 22th Regiment of the 84nd Division of the Little Devils.

Xu Shida's third attack group is advancing to the north. Its task is to bypass Sagaing and build a pontoon bridge about 10 kilometers north along the Irrawaddy River. There are many Jiangxin islands as springboards. Most of the river is 300 meters long. Simple pontoon bridges relatively easy.

It's just that it has to pass through a section of wetland and the sandy land of Jiangxinzhou. Infantry has no problem, but heavy weapons like 105mm howitzers are very difficult.

Fortunately, there are enough engineer rubber boats, and the mountain cannon can be disassembled into several parts to cross the river with rubber boats.

Zhang Dabiao's fourth attack group followed Chu Yunfei to outflank Sagaing Town, ensuring that the 84th Wing of the Little Devils would be completely wiped out, and if conditions permit, they would directly rush to the bridge and seize it.

The battle for the general offensive soon started, and Gao Jianwu still commanded his artillery to fire shells at the enemy's position.After solving the deterrent firepower of the enemy's fortress turrets, the 75mm mountain guns owned by the Little Devils can no longer threaten him.

According to the position information obtained from the previous investigation, the long-range main artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu continuously poured heavy artillery shells on the little devil's position.

Chu Yunfei's second attack group moved forward almost stepping on the landing point of the shells.After the reorganization, especially after a lot of ideological work, most of the battalion and company chief officers were replaced. Now the combat effectiveness of the second attack group is also very strong.

In addition, the main attack last time became the second choice.The soldiers are all suffocating, and now they will use this energy.The position of the Little Devil's 84th Wing suffered disaster.

Because they are not opponents at all in terms of artillery.The fixed fortifications were either baptized by long-range artillery fire or directly bombarded by bazooka rockets.

When the little devil's fixed fortifications and heavy firepower were all knocked out by the opponent, in the infantry confrontation, the little devil was no longer an opponent. Their [-] big cover was no match for the Garand rifle.

Even if there are trenches to help them defend.But the number of mortars equipped with the infantry of the second attack group far exceeded the little devil's imagination.Mortar shells fell into the trenches like raindrops.

The battle was extremely fierce, but almost all the artillery fire was poured on the little devil's position almost unilaterally.With an absolute advantage in firepower, in this war, it was like slaughtering chickens. The little devils were torn apart by artillery fire in groups!

There is no ability to fight back at all.

On the east bank of the Ayeyarwady River Bridge, Captain Ito Gishzao, who was in charge of defending and blowing up the bridge when things were inevitable, seemed very nervous.

Sagaing is full of roaring artillery fire, as well as the sound of gunshots and shells shaking the sky.

He was guarding a field phone with sweat dripping from his forehead. Next to him were several detonators with buried explosives. Once he was ordered to blow up the bridge, he would order the detonation without hesitation.

But the construction of the Ayeyarwady River Bridge is not easy, and the little devil is reluctant to blow it up unless it is a last resort. You must know that this is the only bridge from Mandalay to Sagaing.

Yi Donggan had just been staring at the phone, and didn't feel a roar coming from the air. It was the Lu Xingguo Flying Squadron who had completed the bombing of the fortress and was ordered to start protecting the bridge at this moment.

I saw them line up in 3 wave echelons, flying towards the bridge, Lu Xingguo was still in the lead, and I saw him flying along the bridge at a low altitude of 300 meters!

The middle of the bridge is empty, but there are guards from the little devil's troops at both ends of the bridge.

The entire bridge is not too long, about a little over one kilometer. At this height, Lu Xingguo can see it at a glance.

"No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, you follow me and fly directly along the bridge, and attack the defense forces at both ends of the bridge at intervals of 1.5 kilometers! No. 5 and No. 6 are hovering in the air and stand by!" Lu Xingguo looked at the little devil For defense, it is estimated that 4 rounds of strikes should be enough.

"Received on the 2th!"

"Received on the 3th!"

After Lu Xingguo confirmed that all the team members had received the order, he rushed to the bridgehead position on the Ito bank without hesitation, and then pressed the fire button, and the 4 Browning heavy machine guns immediately sprayed hot bullets and flew towards the bridgehead position.

Directly plowing out 4 blood gullies on the spot from the defending devil, Lu Xingguo pulled the nose of the plane, raised the altitude and skimmed the position, then turned in the air, ready to start the second round of attack.

However, after he passed by, No. 2 came one after another. Ito Gishzao, who managed to escape Lu Xingguo's aerial shooting just now, was not so lucky this time. The next half of the little devils killed nearly half again.

However, this is not the end of the little devil's nightmare. No. 3 and No. 4 lined up to fight for the last little devil's head.

At this moment, on the west bank of the bridge, a team of 60 to 2 people suddenly appeared on the two sides of the bridge and attacked the two little devil teams guarding the bridge almost simultaneously.

Before the infantry charged, several mortar shells and bazookas fired successively, almost sending off the little devils behind the sandbags in a single encounter!

This is the vanguard commando of Zhang Dabiao's fourth attack group. They bypassed Sagaing Town directly and came to seize control of the west bank of the bridge. Run to the east coast!
