Chapter 64 The Beginning of the Air Raid
"Om~~~~~~"

"Om~~~~~~"

"Om~~~~~~"

Just after Xie Jinyuan answered, Ma Chao heard a distant hum mixed with the southeast wind, coming from the direction of SH city.

"Not good!!!" Ma Chao seemed to have thought of something suddenly, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinhead, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"What's the matter, Captain, what's the matter?" Seeing Ma Chao's nervous look, Xie Jinyuan asked quickly.

"The little devil's bomber is coming!" Ma Chao said bitterly, staring closely at the direction the voice came from.

"The little devil's bomber, where did the bomber come from??? Aren't the little devil's planes floating in the sea?" Xie Jinyuan said suspiciously.

Xie Jinyuan hadn't heard the roar of the plane mixed in the southeast wind at this time, so after hearing what Ma Chao said, he seemed at a loss.

This is not the reason for Xie Jinyuan, but a common problem that most of those soldiers have.You must know that as long as they are soldiers, they usually speak very loudly. Apart from the reason of training in the army, the bigger reason is that they listen to the voice of normal people, which is indeed very low.

The reason is that they are actually already sick, they all have the disease of noise-induced deafness.Everyone knows that if you are exposed to high-intensity noise for a long time, your hearing will continue to decline.

In the American movie Black Hawk Down, there is such a passage, because the machine gun fired at the soldier's ear at close range, and the sound of the shooting caused the soldier's complete hearing loss. This is the principle.

And Xie Jinyuan and the others are all troops who have fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the battlefield for a long time, so their ears, which have experienced the sound of guns and cannons, can't hear the still very small roar of the plane at this moment.

"Oh, I don't have time to explain so much now! Commander Xie, you immediately send someone to the brigade headquarters to inform Brigadier Zhu and the others. Let's quickly go back and gather troops to prevent the little devils from attacking!" Ma Chao said hastily.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!" At this time, Xie Jinyuan had already vaguely heard the roar of the little devil's plane.

After arranging two guards to deliver the letter to the brigade headquarters, Ma Chao, Xie Jinyuan and the rest of the staff ran back quickly, talking about the next arrangement while running.

It was indeed Ma Chao who was negligent. Before that, he had been focusing on the part of the Japanese navy.One was calculating those Japanese warships, causing him to forget that the Japanese Army Air Force had already been deployed in place.

The planes at this moment should have taken off from Shanghai's Longhua Airport and Gongda Spinning Factory's temporary airport.

In the first month of the Battle of Songhu, Japanese aircraft basically took off from aircraft carriers stationed in Shanghai.Then, at the beginning of the ninth century, the Japanese army built a temporary airport at Gongda Spinning Mill, which could take off and land Japanese fighter planes.At this time, the strength of the Chinese Air Force still has an advantage.

However, this situation changed in early September.

The reason is that the Japanese army deployed the most advanced Type [-] carrier-based fighter jets to the Songhu battlefield. The Type [-] carrier-based fighter jets were designed by a team led by Kokoshi Jiro, known by the Japanese as the father of Japan Aviation.

The development of the Type [-] carrier-based aircraft began in [-], and the prototype successfully made its maiden flight at Kakamihara Airport in Nagoya, and entered service in August [-].

After reducing the weight of the aircraft and reducing wind resistance, it can climb to an altitude of 35 meters in three minutes and 3000 seconds at the fastest, with a maximum speed of 440 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 800 meters, and a range of [-] meters. One hundred kilometers, the weapon is two [-]mm machine guns.

On September [-], the Type [-] carrier-based aircraft was deployed to the Kaga aircraft carrier.On September [-], over Shanghai, two Type [-]s successfully destroyed three Hawker III fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force.This is the result of the first battle of the Type [-] fighter in the Chinese battlefield.

Then, on September [-]th.The Type [-] carrier-based aircraft was officially deployed at the temporary airport of Gongda Spinning Factory.And this is also the turning point when the Chinese Air Force lost its air supremacy.

As of October 130th, our air force's aircraft had been reduced from 95 to [-], and there were only [-] fighter jets left. We could only concentrate our efforts to take charge of the defense of the capital, Nanjing. So far, the air supremacy in the Shanghai area was completely lost.

The Longhua Airport, which started construction in [-], had become the best civil airport in China by [-].After the Japanese army occupied the airport, they began to deploy fighter jets and bombers here.

At this time, the Japanese army had a total of two land-based airports in the Shanghai area, namely the Gongda Spinning Factory Field Field Airport and the Longhua Airport in the Hongkou area.Since the planes at these two airports had been carrying out the mission of bombing Nanjing before, the navy was responsible for the air supremacy and combat in the Shanghai area.

Basically, they did not participate in the bombing of these Army Aviation aircraft on the Songhu battlefield, and they were not known to the Songhu defenders at all.This also led Ma Chao to believe that the Japanese aircraft all came from the sea.

While Ma Chao and Xie Jinyuan were hurrying to the army station, General Terauchi Shouichi, the new commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, was also suffering from a headache.

The former commander of the North China Front Army, General Hisashi Terauchi, who had arrived in Shanghai by plane at noon today, the first thing after taking over was not to establish a command system as everyone thought.

Facing the commanders of various ministries who came to pick up the plane, they took out a new battle plan directly on the runway of Longhua Airport.With the dust kicked up by the propeller of the plane, the combat orders of each unit were announced.

Because before he handed over to General Kenkichi Ueda, the former commander of the Kwantung Army, he already knew the current situation of each army.Afterwards, Terauchi Shouichi was keenly aware of the air force deployed in Shanghai. At this moment, the combat effectiveness was complete and no loss had been received.

Therefore, after studying the current situation in detail, he decided to combine the air force that bombed Nanjing and the air force on the naval aircraft carrier as an iron fist, and then cooperate with the ground army to launch a counterattack!As a result, a detailed battle plan was drawn up.

At this moment, the various units of the Shanghai Dispatch Army have also learned that the previous infighting and defeat were all caused by the Chinese.All of them are gnashing their teeth with hatred, determined to destroy them, to wash away the shame of being fooled.

Therefore, I immediately stated my position at the airport and absolutely acted in accordance with the battle plan of the new commander, General Hisashi Terauchi, so as to completely defeat the Chinese defenders.
