"Buzz—"

The motors on the plane were running at high speed, the blades were spinning at great speed, and the plane let out a violent engine roar.

After maintenance and repair, the Wuling Shenji is still very good in terms of combat effectiveness and flight performance.

The plane slowly slid out of the nest and onto the runway.

Immediately, Li Hong sped up the buffering speed of the plane on the runway.

Suddenly, the huge plane "whoosh" and flew into the air like a sensitive eagle.

Li Hong flexibly steered the plane, and after a while, the plane climbed to a height of several hundred meters.

He circled over the base for a test flight, quickly determined the course, and then accelerated in the direction of Wuhan.

Starting from the flight base of the security regiment and arriving at the airport in the Wuhan area, the distance between the two places is about 800 kilometers.

With the supersonic flight speed of the Wuling Shenji, no matter how slow the plane flies, it will reach the Wuhan area in a few hours.

Li Hong was able to reach the combat zone in a few hours, while the rest of the combat units of the security regiment did not have such a fast marching speed.

Although the main combat force of the security regiment started earlier and set off before Li Hong, the large army took the land route, and in fact, the various combat battalions of the security regiment arrived at the Wuhan battlefield a few days later than Li Hong.

……

When Li Honghe and the troops of the Security Corps rushed to the Wuhan area, the Japanese army and the Chinese army were centered on Wuhan, and the defense lines of the two sides in the surrounding areas had gone through more than a dozen battles, and the scale of the battles became more and more intense.

As soon as the Battle of Wuhan began, the Chinese army quickly amassed more than 1 million troops and carried out military strategic deployment on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River.

The 5th Theater is responsible for defending the battlefield north of the Yangtze River, and the 9th Theater is responsible for guarding the battlefield south of the Yangtze River.

The reason why the Chinese army has amassed a million heavy troops and a large amount of manpower and material resources to defend Wuhan is because the geographical location is too important.

Wuhan is located in central China, with important cities such as Nanjing and Shanghai directly accessible to the east via the Yangtze River waterway.

If you go west, you can reach Chongqing, Sichuan, and at the same time, you can also go directly to Henan, Hunan, and Guangdong through the main railway line, known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

Since the fall of some important cities in China, a large number of materials, government units, and military command centers have been moved to the surrounding areas of Wuhan, and thus Wuhan has become a political, economic, and military center.

Both China and Japan knew that Wuhan was strategically important, so both sides poured a large amount of military strength into this unprecedented battle.

Even though the Japanese army only invested about 300,000 troops, which was far less than the Chinese army, most of the combat units dispatched by the Japanese army were elite.

Although the Chinese army outnumbered the Japanese army several times, and the main forces of the two major theaters coordinated to defend the outer defense line of Wuhan, as soon as the battle began, the Chinese army carelessly lost the important Jiangfang fortress.

Since the Japanese captured Anqing, the Potian detachment continued to advance west along the Yangtze River on naval vessels, and by the end of June, the Potian detachment had reached the blockade line of the Jiangfang fortress Madang.

Originally, there was no problem in holding the river defense fortress in Madang for a month, but as a result, because the generals of some countries were negligent and slack, the river defense that had been painstakingly built was conquered by the Japanese army in a week......

Two hours later.

Li Hong piloted the plane and flew over Anqing City.

Originally, the Chinese army had a military airfield in Anqing, but Anqing had already lost the whole city, and even the Madang Fort was lost.

Madang Fortress was so important that the 9th Theater of the National Army immediately gathered forces and strictly ordered the 16th Army and the 49th Army to launch a counteroffensive against Madang Fortress.

Relying on the strong fortifications of Madang Fortress, the Japanese troops put up stubborn resistance and repelled seven or eight attacks by the two armies of the Nationalist Army, which repeatedly suffered setbacks and heavy casualties.

At this time, Madang Fortress was occupied by the Japanese army, which can be described as impregnable, and it is almost impossible for the national army troops to recapture the fortress, unless a miracle happens......

After another half an hour, Li Hong drove the Wuling Shenji to fly directly along the Yangtze River, and soon flew to the airspace near Madang Fortress.

"Buzz ......"

The sound of the plane's engine resounded in the air.

Several Japanese ships were moored on the river, and some large warships had Japanese carrier-based attack fighters parked on their runways.

At this time, the Japanese troops occupying Madang Fortress were engaged with the Nationalist troops, and the large-caliber naval guns on the ships continued to shell the Nationalist land offensive forces in the distance.

The attack fighters parked on the deck runway were all damaged and maintained, and the rest of the Japanese carrier-based planes all rose into the air and bombed the attacking national troops on land in all directions.

"Da Da Da, Tu Tu !!"

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Bursts of intense gunfire rang out on the ground, as well as the sound of shelling and explosions.

The Nationalist Army's counterattack on Madang Fortress also had air force support, but the aircraft performance of the 5th and 9th theaters was backward, and the number of fighters was small, so it could not compete with the Japanese air force at all.

Except for the flight units of the security regiment, the air force units of the national army could not bargain at all in the hands of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army and navy were busy engaging the Nationalist troops on the ground, and the enemy did not even notice that Li Hong's plane was flying from the rear.

When Li Hong's plane flew over the river of Madang Fortress, the air defense unit of the Japanese Navy suddenly discovered the flying Wuling divine plane.

At this time, a devil in a navy uniform, Dazuo, stood on the command platform of the command ship, holding a telescope to carefully observe Li Hong's plane.

"Baga, it's not good, there are military fighters coming from our rear, let's conduct air defense !!"

Suddenly, the Japanese fleet sounded the air defense alarm.

As soon as the air defense siren sounded, the gunners of the Japanese naval ships entered their respective combat positions one after another, and they quickly manipulated the anti-aircraft artillery to aim at the Wuling Shenji in the air for fire interception.

The devil gunners were moving very fast, but Li Hong's plane had already broken through into the sky above the fleet, and it seemed too late for the enemy to intercept it with firepower.

"Little devils, a bunch of fools, just react now, it's too late for you, wait for death!"

Li Hong scolded the little devil a few times, and then skillfully maneuvered the plane to dodge the attack of the anti-aircraft guns of the devil warship.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

The anti-aircraft guns on several warships of the devil launched shelling at the same time, and dozens of anti-aircraft grenades flew from the ships to the Wuling Shenji in the air.

When the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery attacked frantically, suddenly, Li Hong held the control stick of the plane and flexibly made a difficult flight maneuver of "planting onions".

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was an explosion in the air, and an anti-aircraft grenade exploded in mid-air.
