The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 269 Steel Collision 5

Colonel Nakamura was imagining how to kill those nasty Chinese tanks in the battle 10 minutes later. He saw suddenly a burst of sparks from the landline of the team leader Masao Kato flying in the front, and then it disintegrated into pieces of wreckage in the air. fly!

"Enemy attack—" Colonel Nakamura yelled, but the rumbling Mount Motor covered his scream.

At this moment, all the Japanese pilots spotted the fighter jets in front of them, and the Japanese fighter jets in charge of the escort quickly went up to them before Nakamura Commander gave the command order, while the bombers buried their heads and rushed down. Go, try to fly to the battlefield from low altitude to save the bad luck of the Japanese tank regiment.

This is the simple tactical arrangement of Colonel Nakamura before departure.

It's just that the Japanese pilots overestimated their courage and tactics, and at the same time underestimated the advanced performance of the "Eagle Dragon 1" of the National Defense Forces.It can be said that even after the end of World War II, the "Eagle Dragon 1" fighter of the National Defense Forces is also one of the most advanced models. At this time, it is invincible in the air!

Although Japan's aircraft manufacturing technology has made great progress after stealing a National Defense Forces crash, and because of the emergence of many advanced models of the National Defense Forces, the aircraft manufacturing technology of parallel time and space will definitely develop faster than in history, but now, Japan Whether it's people or Americans, including the Germans, their aircraft cannot be opponents of the Wehrmacht Air Force!

This time, of the 96 aircraft dispatched by the Japanese Third Air Group, 48 of them were bombers and the other 48 were fighters.Therefore, their actual combat power in the air is only the 48 fighters, and the bombers are their protection objects.However, the two brigades dispatched by the National Defense Forces were all fighter planes, and the number of fighter planes exceeded twice that of the Japanese planes.

"White Eagles chase down the big guys, Black Eagles and Purple Eagles continue to meet the enemy!" Seeing that the Japanese planes suddenly dispersed, the commander of the fighter squadron numbered "02" who was facing the enemy in the front immediately ordered.

"White Eagles (Black Eagles, Purple Eagles) understand!" The three squadrons adjusted their formation in the air in a blink of an eye. Some planes rushed up quickly to take over the positions of their comrades.

"Da da da……"

"Tom tom tom..."

Regardless of whether it is a machine gun or a machine gun, they are pouring bullets and shells unconditionally at this time; whether it is a Chinese aircraft or a Japanese aircraft, they are trying to use 100% of the skills they usually learn at this time. charge up!

"Tom tom tom..." Captain No. 02 seized an opportunity and fired violently at a Japanese plane on the lower left, but the Japanese plane seemed to have expected to be attacked a long time ago, just as the 20mm cannon was about to bite his At the time of the fighter, a sudden side spin, got rid of the flame of death!

Just when the pilot of the Japanese plane escaped, despising the pilots of the National Defense Forces, he suddenly found two silver-gray fighter planes swooping down from the left and the right, and orange-red flames were violently sprayed from the nose!

"Boom—" The mournful Japanese plane exploded in the air without even holding on for a second.

"Bastard, bully me!" Seeing the Japanese plane being beaten into a ball of fire in the air, the captain of No. 02 Battalion cursed bitterly. I don't know if he was scolding the Japanese pilot for being too cunning, or His own subordinates were so dishonest that they even came in pairs to snatch his victory.

In fact, the captain of No. 02 was really wrong. The two pilots didn't come to take credit for him, but were sent by the squadron leader to protect him.The place where the battle took place was the sky above Songjiang, and the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed on the ground. If one of them was accidentally shot down by a Japanese plane, although No. 02 could parachute, the result of the jump was very likely to become the first shot of Heisuke Yanagawa. Wehrmacht guests visiting.

Speaking of the commander of the 10th Army of the Japanese Army Yanagawa Heisuke, when the air battle broke out, this guy was standing in a courtyard giving lectures to his subordinate staff. When he heard the sound of buzzing planes, he immediately said to his subordinates, "Look, this is our big Japanese army. Warriors of the Imperial Air Force! They are ready to sacrifice their lives for the Holy War of the Empire at any time; but, yours can’t even do the simplest staff affairs!”

However, just after lecturing this sentence, he noticed that the faces of several staff officers suddenly became frightened, as if the end of the world was coming.

"What's going on?" Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't help looking up, but when he looked up, Yanagawa Heisuke's national curse came out, "Baga! Call the anti-aircraft artillery for support!"

It turned out that the buzzing sound Heisuke Yanagawa heard was indeed from the planes of Japan's Third Aviation Group. However, this was a group of bombers who had escaped from the air battle, and several staff officers suddenly "changed their faces" because they saw the plane behind the bomber. 16 Chinese fighter planes suddenly emerged from the clouds.

A staff officer heard Yanagawa Hirasuke's order, and immediately ran into the house smartly and called the anti-aircraft artillery unit.

It's just that the air battle happened too suddenly, even if Hirasuke Yanagawa was "helped" by the gods just like his name, it was impossible to change the fate of the Japanese bombers.

"Tom tom tom, tom tom tom..." Almost when several staff officers changed their faces, the pilot of the national defense force who rushed to the front bit the tail of the Japanese plane. Seeing that the opportunity was not lost, the gunner immediately held it down The button of the cannon!

Although the bomber is a powerful weapon in combat and has an overwhelming advantage against ground targets, the image of this guy in the air is big, clumsy and heavy, and its speed can only reach 60.00% of that of a fighter. It is the fate of being blown up in the sky.

Therefore, General Heisuke Yanagawa was fortunate to watch the whole process of this short air battle for the first time, and walked into his headquarters angrily amidst the sound of "eight quacks".

There is also no suspense in the high-altitude battle, especially after the 01 "Eagle Dragon 48" under the command of the No. 1 squadron bit up from the rear of the Japanese plane, the Japanese plane was basically waiting to be slaughtered. Due to the number of Japanese planes It is already less than the Air Force of the National Defense Forces, and the average air speed of the Japanese aircraft is about 1 kilometers behind the "Eagle Dragon 200". Therefore, in the relative movement in the air, the Japanese aircraft is as slow as a floating beetle. Tun flew, and was swooped down by the National Defense Army's eagle in the air.

The Songjiang air flight lasted only about half an hour, but the two regiment-sized chariots of the Chinese and Japanese armies in Maojiabang, southwest of Jiaxing, were colliding tragically!

Although the 57th Tank Regiment of the Japanese Army was half the number of the National Defense Forces, and had lost about one-fifth of its tanks before, this does not mean that the battle was one-sided. This is also a characteristic of land warfare. 1000 people vs. 500 people, the side with 1000 people obviously has an advantage, but it takes much more energy and time to turn the advantage into a victory and turn the victory into a victory in hand.

Of course, another important factor is that the "t-12" assault tank of the National Defense Forces has advantages in many aspects compared with the Japanese Type [-] tank, but this advantage is not absolute, at least there is no such thing as an air fighter. One or more generations of advantage.Moreover, land operations are restricted by terrain and many other factors.

However, because of the absolute superiority in numbers, although the gap between the individual Japanese tanks and the National Defense Forces tanks is small, the overall advantage on the battlefield is very obvious. It is only a matter of time before the 57th Tank Wing of the Japanese Army is defeated.

The failure of the Japanese Air Force was not only Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke in Matsue who was scolding "Baga", but also General Matsui Iwane in Shanghai who kept saying "Baga".

The failure of the Imperial Army Air Force did not just lose dozens of aircraft, not just dozens of tanks fighting in Maojiabang, nor the lives of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers.As an old soldier, Matsui Iwane must have understood that in war, there is no one who will not die, and he can still make this little sacrifice.

However, the failure of this air raid meant that in the first round of the decisive battle between the Japanese army in East China and the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army lost a game first, and the first game lost was a loss of opportunity, which would be extremely detrimental to the Japanese army's future combat deployment. At the same time, it also has an impact on the morale of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Of course, this small setback will not affect the attitude of the Japanese base camp towards the Japanese army in East China, otherwise, Matsui Iwane's life will be really sad.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good, it's not good! The China Air Force is bombing our Chongming Island airport!" Just after Matsui Iwane calmed down a little, the chief of staff, Major General Iinuma Mori, rushed in to report the "bad news"!

"Details!" Matsui Iwane was no longer angry, but asked calmly.

"China Air Force has about [-] planes, and our airport guards are fighting back heroically!" Mamoru Iinuma said.

"Okay, Iinuma-kun, continue to pay attention to the progress of the battle situation, I want to think about this war alone." Matsui Iwane did not ask about the Japanese army's losses at Chongming Island Airport.

In fact, Matsuishi vaguely felt that the loss of Chongming Island would also be very heavy.Because the National Defense Army has always been famous for its ruthlessness in combat. Since the birth of this army, which battle has not won a complete victory?

At 11:45 in the morning, Chongming Island Airport sent a telegram: more than 300 Japanese fighter planes on the airport were destroyed, more than 60% of the anti-aircraft artillery was destroyed, all the oil depots were destroyed, and most of the runways and facilities were destroyed.It will take at least a month to recover.

At 12:30 in the morning, Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi of the 107th Division sent a telegram: The 57th Tank Regiment Yusha!

"Iinuma-kun, record the telegram: The headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army, China's air force is stronger than the estimated level, and its combat methods are elusive, which has a great impact on our ground troops; apply for the immediate activation of the 'Oriole Project'!"

At 2 p.m., Iwane Matsui walked out of the office and said to the chief of staff after digesting the possible impact and consequences of two consecutive "bad news".

"Your Excellency, isn't it too early to launch the 'Oriole Project' at this time?" Major General Mamoru Iinuma said with some concern.

"It won't be too early! It will take a day or two for the base camp to decide on this matter, and it will take at least three days for the South China Front Army to reach Hangzhou Bay. Iinuma-kun, what do you think the battle will be like after five days What does it look like?" Matsui Iwane said firmly.

"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander, I'll send the report right away!" Seeing that Matsui Iwane had made up his mind, Mamoru Iinuma couldn't say anything more.It's just that Iinuma Mamoru doesn't understand Matsui Iwane's true thoughts.

Matsui Iwane, he is going to "put all his eggs in one basket"!
