Most of the front and left and right wings of the fleet are currently the most advanced jet fighters in the world, with only a small number of Mustang fighters.

Even though the air force of the island army can no longer pose a great threat to the Allied forces, Jiang Haoran, who has always been cautious, still deployed a huge escort formation for them throughout the entire process. It is clear that all of them came from Mindoro Airport.

Dozens of fighter jets spread out in the sky, monitoring every move on the ground, and are always ready to deal with the possible attack of the enemy's air force.

After the fighter jets, there are densely packed transport planes in the rear. There are Chinese-made Wolf Warriors, as well as American-made C-47 sky trains and Curtiss C-46 commandos. The number exceeds a hundred.

The transport plane passed by, and a parachute appeared in the sky, like dandelions falling in the wind.

Although Jiang Haoran once suspected that the island army had seen through the location of his airdrop, or feared that the island army would ambush here, but this airborne has not done any preliminary ground fire detection, Lian Huang Jie suggested to use napalm? One plan has not been implemented.

Generally speaking, the airborne location is of course the more open and flat the better. Even in this low crop field, you should choose a rice field instead of a corn field, because the corn stalks are thick and tall, and the branches and leaves are denser. , if you really want to hide people, you don't know how many times stronger than Hemiao.

The low He Miao people would surely throw a large number of them down when they entered, and they were barely able to deal with the ground troops, but for the air troops, they had nowhere to hide.

But this time the airborne was very strange. The airborne troops chose the cornfields, and all the parachutes were floating over the cornfields. Even if there were deviations, the soldiers tried their best to control the parachutes to land in the direction of the cornfields.

Seeing that the paratroopers were only a hundred meters away from the ground, it seemed that the expected ambush did not appear.

The reason why the airborne troops are called the most dangerous arms is because they go deep into the depths of the enemy, and they may be surrounded and ambushed at any time. Unleashing the enemy's powerful firepower net is simply a nightmare, and everyone will be treated as a living target.

Even if there is strong air support in the sky, it is useless, because it is impossible for aviation to destroy the enemy without hurting its own people.

50 meters from the ground, everything was calm, and the airborne soldiers began to relax their vigilance and make preparations before landing.

Suddenly, in the rice field in front of the corn field, pieces of seedlings were overturned, and the heavily armed island army in khaki military uniforms emerged from the ground in groups of three or four with hideous faces, and moved forward towards the corn field. , The soldiers of the island army who rushed to the front shot into the sky without hesitation.

There was a sudden burst of gunfire, and the frontmost airborne soldiers immediately became live targets and were riddled with holes in mid-air.

The nearby fighter jets had apparently discovered the sudden situation, and immediately approached the paddy fields. Machine guns and machine guns fired one after another, sweeping towards the ground.

The island army indeed came prepared. Just as the fighter jets swooped down and fired at low altitude, the larger seedlings in the rice field were turned over, and below them were the positions of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that were heavily fortified.

A group of soldiers had already been waiting for the battle, and the machine guns and cannons began to roar, and the planes flying at low altitudes caught off guard were suddenly hit by unprecedented catastrophe, and one of them was beaten to the ground and fell roaring with thick smoke.

Those who escaped by chance quickly pulled up, circled at high altitude, and dropped the mounted aerial bombs urgently.

The airborne field, which was still silent just now, suddenly burst into gunshots, explosions rumbled, smoke billowed, and flames shot into the sky.

The densely packed little devil soldiers on the ground rushed towards the corn field with all their strength, and the weapons in their hands spared no effort to shoot and kill the airborne soldiers. The casualties of the Mi army suddenly increased dramatically. Even if he escapes the hunt, he will be thrown half to death.

Of course, the casualties were not as horrible as imagined, and it was only the soldiers closest to the front that suffered, and a large number of airborne troops at the far end had landed safely.

In the final analysis, it was Leng Rushuang's plan of "doing the opposite" that worked.

Instead of choosing a rice field area that is more suitable for airborne, a corn field was chosen.

If it was the former, the airborne troops fell directly into the enemy's ambush circle. With the number of enemies on the ground and the continuous firepower that most of them were equipped with, the airborne troops were almost wiped out.

Moreover, the enemy will definitely launch an attack in advance, and it may be difficult for the transport plane to retreat safely, and it is entirely possible that most of them will be shot down.

Because they were far away from the enemy's ambush circle, the enemy had to passively launch a long-range charge. In this way, at most, only the soldiers close to the front would suffer, and most of the airborne troops could survive.

After more than ten minutes, the airborne ended, and the parachute was no longer visible in the sky, and the plane began to pour bombs and bombs towards the rice field area.

The Mi Army airborne troops also began to counterattack, advancing quickly against the enemy.

The enemy's offensive momentum was blocked, and the rear was full of flames, and aerial bombs rained down on their heads.

At this time, a huge fleet of aircraft appeared in the sky again, the number was several times that of the previous one.

The first batch of input was nothing more than one brigade and three airborne battalions. After the location of the enemy on the ground was determined, the real airborne began at this moment.

After releasing the airborne troops, all the transport planes would rush straight to the front and drop the aerial bombs, and fire machine guns at the enemy positions on the ground violently, regardless of whether they could see the target or the enemy, they just poured the ammunition down.

To transport a division of more than 1 soldiers, at least several hundred transport planes are needed, plus escort fighter jets, the number of planes in the sky at this time can only be described as overwhelming.

Even if each plane dropped only one aerial bomb, the bombing intensity would be unimaginable. The entire rice field area was completely covered by the bombing, and the sound of explosions could be heard endlessly.

The first batch of airborne troops quickly organized a line of defense in front, desperately blocking the first wave of enemy attacks, and when the rear airborne troops landed safely, the enemy was already powerless.

Half an hour later, the island army knew that it could not stop the airborne landing of the Mi army, and began to disperse and break through, risking the pursuit of the air force, and rushed towards Manila.

This is undoubtedly a wise choice. In such an open area, there are so many planes in the sky that continuing to resist is undoubtedly a dead end. Taking advantage of the airborne troops not fully forming an attacking situation and fleeing, this is the only way to preserve their vitality.

During the entire ambush, the island army deployed a C-type division with a strength of about [-]. Originally, it was expected that an ambush would wipe out the airborne division of the Mi army on the spot. Rong San's conspiracy ended in stealing chickens and losing rice. Nearly half of the soldiers of the division died in this ambush, and the casualties of the Mi Army were less than [-]% of theirs.
