As the Red Alert's air force began to provide air cover, the special forces battalion and the helicopters they were riding on also began to attack in the direction of Shanghai.

At the same time, the ground forces led by Zhang Ning also began a full-scale attack on the Japanese troops on the defense line.

"boom!"

When the Red Alert troops were attacking, a Type 59 tank leading the attack directly ran over an anti-tank mine that the Japanese had imported from Sandezi.

With an explosion, the tank's tracks were instantly broken and the driver was knocked unconscious by the shock wave of the explosion.

"All troops, stop advancing, the engineering troops will open up a path!"

"understand!"

At the Red Alert headquarters, there was great anger about the appearance of anti-tank mines among the Japanese troops.

Before launching the attack, the Red Alert Force did not receive any prior notification that the Japanese army possessed anti-tank mines, which was a major intelligence error.

However, now is not the time to hold the Intelligence Department accountable. The discovery of anti-tank mines means that the Japanese army currently has sufficient defense against the armored forces of the Red Alert Force.

Since the vanguard of the Red Alert forces are all mechanized troops, the Japanese defense now does affect the offensive of the frontline troops.

But Zhang Ning and others knew very well that they were not the protagonists of this attack. The real protagonist was now flying from Fengyang Mountain to Shanghai.

Jiangsu, Zhenjiang, Japanese Army Air Force Zhenjiang Airport.

According to intelligence from the front line, the air force of the Ping'an County Security Corps has begun to infiltrate from the front line toward Shanghai.

As the intermediate area between Fengyang Mountain and Shanghai, the purpose of setting up Zhenjiang Airport was to resist the air force of Ping'an County Security Corps. The Japanese were well aware of the strength of the air force of Ping'an County Security Corps, so they deployed nearly 500 fighter jets at several airports in this area.

The production of the Japanese aircraft manufacturing plants in their homeland has been greatly reduced, and the Japanese army can only deploy limited fighter planes to key locations.

To be honest, if the Red Alert's air force only carried out bombing or ground support missions on the front line, it is hard to say whether the Japanese air force would take off. However, this time, the Ping'an County Security Corps Air Force flew directly towards Shanghai after crossing the front line, so the Japanese planes could only take off to intercept.

In fact, in the eyes of the Japanese, it would be easy to deal with if a small ground force launched the attack. After all, in addition to the existence of such a huge force as the Guards in the urban area of ​​Shanghai, there are also the people of Shanghai who can be used as a shield.

But they would never dare to let go of the Ping'an County Security Corps' air force.

This is what Yoshio Shinozuka had specifically reminded Iwane Matsui about before. When they were in North China, they already knew that the Ping'an County Security Corps' Air Force had a type of aerial bomb that could carry out precision strikes.

If the enemy's air force goes there, let alone if the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai is targeted, that locust will be finished!
So after discovering that the Ping'an County Security Corps' air force had fanned in, the Japanese army took off all of their aviation forces deployed in Zhenjiang to intercept them.

However, the Japanese army's ability in aerial detection was indeed quite poor, and it was not easy to detect the fighter jets of the Ping'an County Security Corps Air Force in the vast airspace.

Therefore, the Japanese air force could only expand the front line and search for the Ping'an County Security Corps Air Force.

But the fact that the Japanese couldn’t find the Red Alert didn’t mean that the Red Alert couldn’t find them.

As soon as the Japanese took off, the long-range early warning and radar deployed by the Red Alert Force on Fengyang Mountain discovered the traces of the Japanese and called the fighter squadron that was escorting the special forces battalion via radio.

"Second Fighter Squadron, this is the Fengyangshan Long-range Early Warning Center. We have discovered that a large number of Japanese air targets are taking off from the direction of Zhenjiang. Xiangxi's position, speed, altitude and other parameters have been sent to your unit."

"The Second Fighter Squadron understands!"

After receiving the news, the Second Fighter Squadron of the Red Alert Force immediately accelerated forward in combat formation, while leaving behind a squadron of fighter jets to escort the helicopter of the special forces battalion.

According to the report from the Long-Range Early Warning Center, the Japanese army had as many as 500 fighter jets. Although fighter jets were not enough compared to the Red Alert's fighter jets, the Red Alert was still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

If the Japanese have extra fighter planes and discover the helicopter carrying the special forces battalion, the Red Alert will suffer heavy losses!
Therefore, during the flight, the Second Fighter Squadron accelerated and distanced itself from the helicopter formation, and soon after, the radars of the Red Alert fighter jets discovered the Japanese fighter jets.

In the organization of the Red Alert Air Force, the higher the unit number, the more advanced the fighter jets it is equipped with.

As the second-numbered Fighter Squadron of the Red Alert Air Force, the fighter jets they are equipped with are not the J-02 or J-, but the J- that they replaced after carrying out the Broken Sword mission!

The onboard radar equipped with the J-7 had already discovered the detailed location of the Japanese air force beyond the visual range, and then began to launch air strikes against it.

Faced with the Red Alert's absolute equipment and technological advantages, more than 500 fighter planes of the Japanese army fell from the sky like mosquitoes sprayed with insecticide. By the time the helicopter formation of the special forces battalion flew to the aerial firefight area, there were few Japanese fighter planes left in the sky.

Instead, there were burning wreckages of planes on the ground and Japanese fighter planes falling from the sky with black smoke.

"Brothers from Kongjuu! Awesome!"

Seeing their air force troops remaining unscathed, the special forces on the helicopter couldn't help but cheer.

The J-7 fighter jets in the sky also returned to the escort sequence. As the special forces battalion got closer and closer to Shanghai, the air force bomber unit also flew over Shanghai and carried out precision bombing on Shanghai's air defense positions.

In addition to the anti-aircraft positions outside Shanghai, the Japanese also deployed a lot of anti-aircraft firepower on open spaces within the urban area.

As for these Japanese air defense positions, a H-50 squadron responsible for carrying out the mission opened the door of the bomb bay over Shanghai and used -kilogram small-yield laser-guided bombs to carry out precise strikes on the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.

The anti-aircraft artillery units deployed by the Japanese here do not pose much threat to bombers and fighter planes, but if these artillery pieces are aimed at the helicopters of the special forces battalion, that would be troublesome!

The H-6 Squadron responsible for the bombing was here to kick open Shanghai's door in the sky for the special forces battalion.

"boom!"

"Baga! Where's the explosion?!"

"Captain, it's bad! The Ping'an County Security Corps has blown up the anti-aircraft guns of the Fifth Squadron!"

"Nani?!"

Upon hearing that the fifth squadron's anti-aircraft gun had been blown up, a Japanese air defense team leader could no longer sit still.

After all, the distance between the 5th Air Defense Squadron and his troops is not far!

As the Japanese squadron leader walked out of the command center, he saw the anti-aircraft artillery position in the distance that was already emitting black smoke.

Just when the Japanese were worried that the Ping'an County Security Corps would bomb them next, two 50-kilogram laser-guided bombs landed exactly where their squadron was.

"Boom! Boom!" After two explosions, another anti-aircraft artillery position of the Japanese was razed to the ground.

At this time, explosions continued one after another around Shanghai, and the locations of the explosions were all anti-aircraft positions deployed by the Japanese Guards.

As the home of the Japs' locusts, the anti-aircraft firepower deployed by the Japanese army in Shanghai was extremely cruel.

The Japanese not only deployed two air defense divisions outside the urban area of ​​Shanghai, but also had an air defense division's air defense force within the urban area.

If the Red Alert Force had not specifically carried small-yield bombs, it is estimated that the bombs carried by a squadron of H-6s might not be enough.

However, compared with the air defense positions outside the city, the air defense positions deployed in the urban area of ​​Shanghai were much more difficult to attack, mainly because the Japanese had set up a lot of anti-aircraft firepower on the rooftops of some residential areas or in the middle of residential areas.

If the Red Alert forces use aerial bombs to attack, the residential buildings of Shanghai residents will be blown up as well.

This is something the Red Alert Force cannot accept.

Moreover, after the Japanese learned that the air defense forces outside the city had been bombed, the air defense forces inside the city immediately began to deploy for combat.

However, due to the high flying altitude of the H-6 and the poor ground vision of the Japanese army, the Japanese ground-based air defense firepower did not pose an effective threat to the Red Alert's H-6.

Although the Japanese ground-based anti-aircraft firepower posed no threat, nearly 100 aircraft deployed by the Japanese at Hongqiao Airport suffered damage.

After bombing the air defense positions outside Shanghai, the pilots of the Red Alert Force did not waste the remaining bombs, but directly dropped them at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport.

The Japanese planes were all destroyed on the ground by bombers before they could even take off.

Seeing that his last air force unit was completely wiped out, the Japanese air force commander was so angry that he cursed.

However, the Japanese troops had no other choice at this time.

After completing the bombing, the Red Alert Force's H-6 Squadron immediately began to return.

It’s not that they no longer care about the Japanese air defense forces in the urban area, but that the remaining targets will be taken over by other forces.

At this time, the Red Alert's aerial gunboat troops also began to descend from high altitude.

In order to deal with the anti-aircraft firepower set up by the Japanese in the urban area of ​​Shanghai, the Red Alert Force specially prepared ten modified aerial artillery guns for these Japanese.

这些空中炮艇将原本的30毫米加特林炮、37毫米速射炮和100毫米空军炮全部进行了拆除，换装了7.62毫米六管加特林机枪、12.7毫米三管加特林机枪和双联装23毫米速射炮这种低杀伤性武器。

The main purpose was to worry that the previous high-powered aircraft guns would cause accidental injuries and collateral damage to the residents of Shanghai, and these small-caliber firepower could just meet the requirements for the lethality of the Japanese troops threatening densely populated areas.

Moreover, the Japanese had not only a large number of anti-aircraft guns but also nearly a thousand 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

These air defense equipment are very dangerous for helicopters.

After the aerial gunboats were in position, the Red Alert forces immediately used these weapons to attack the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower on the ground.

In fact, the 7.62mm Gatling machine gun had no effective killing power against the Japanese anti-aircraft guns. Although it could kill personnel, it was difficult to cause any damage to the artillery itself.

The real main force is actually this three-barrel 3mm Gatling machine gun.

These 12.7mm machine gun bullets can not only kill the Japanese army's soft targets, but also use armor-piercing incendiary bombs to destroy and detonate the Japanese artillery itself and ammunition.

As for the 23mm twin-barreled rapid-fire gun, it was used to attack the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery groups on the open ground.

After the aerial gunboats attacked the Japanese ground anti-aircraft firepower for half an hour, the armed helicopters responsible for covering the transport helicopters also flew into the damaged urban area and used 23mm cannons and 7.62mm door-mounted machine guns to fire at the surrounding Japanese troops that posed a threat.

This is also the last step in cooperating with the special forces battalion's "door-kicking operation."

Led by the armed helicopter, the Red Alert Force Special Forces Battalion immediately took a helicopter straight to the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in the HK area.

“Arrived at the designated location!”

"start to act!"

"Rail down! Quickly!"

As the special forces battalion's helicopters arrived at the designated location, hundreds of helicopters hovered and rappelled around the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters, or landed on the top of the building for airdrops.

Seeing this, a Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun operator immediately pointed his gun at a helicopter and began firing at it.

The Red Alert Air Force conducted a very strict search of the outskirts of the Marine Corps Headquarters and used large-scale firepower strikes.

But even in this situation, there were still one or two Japanese devils who slipped through the net.

After all, anti-aircraft machine guns are not as conspicuous as anti-aircraft cannons. Once you are targeted by an aerial gunboat, you will have no chance of escape.

Although the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns were heavy, they could be carried by several people, so it was understandable that one of them was still alive.

However, just as the anti-aircraft machine gun fired a short burst of shots, the armed helicopter responsible for this direction immediately reacted and launched a round of strafing with a 23mm machine gun.

Afterwards, the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun crew was reduced to parts along with their guns under the attack of the armed helicopter's machine gun.

The Japanese's short burst of fire hit the upper rear of a transport helicopter and caused some damage, but it did not affect the flight and did not cause any casualties.

These people are not ordinary infantrymen of the Red Alert Force, but special forces members!

If unnecessary damage is caused, there will be a lot of tears.

At the same time, the special forces team members who had completed the airdrop and rope descent immediately gathered with their comrades around them after landing.

Some of them launched an attack on the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters, while others provided support to their comrades on the surrounding commanding heights.

Of course, some special forces began to gather outside to block the Japanese reinforcements. (End of this chapter)
