The roaring formation of Japanese fighters flew at great speed, and the clouds were thin above the sky, and the visibility was very high. The Japanese flight commander in charge of the bombing mission, Keiichi Hojo, looked down through the bomber window through a telescope.

"Yo Xi, order the Zero fighters covering the two wings to strafe Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge at low altitude, and test the anti-aircraft fire on the ground first. Bombers are always ready to bomb at low altitudes! ”

Keiichi Hojo retrieved the telescope and then commanded the Zero through the headset.

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"

......

Soon, the Japanese Zero fighters, whose wings were responsible for covering the ten Type 96 land bombers, separated two and flew down rapidly towards Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge on the ground.

When Kazuki Yamamoto commanded the Japanese troops to launch the first attack on Hengshan, when he asked for air fighters to support the bombing, he had already encountered the fire of the German-made 88-mm anti-aircraft gun that Li Yunlong had exchanged from the system.

For Keiichi Hojo, he already has this situation in his hands. Therefore, although Hojo Keiichi had already flown to the west of the two commanding heights, he ordered the fleet not to reach the airspace above the two places for high-altitude air first. Instead, two Zero fighters were sent to test the anti-aircraft fire on the ground first, and once there was anti-aircraft fire from the opponent, they could only carry out the strategy of high-altitude bombing.

At this time, the two Japanese Zero fighters under the order of Hojo Keiichi, with their excellent fighter performance, drove the fighters to roar to the summits of Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge to carry out low-altitude attacks.

At this time, Zhao Gang, who was sitting at the headquarters of a concealed bunker somewhere on the top of Hutou Mountain, had already heard the roar of Japanese fighters attacking from the west in the distance.

Zhao Gang hurriedly looked into the sky through the telescope, his face changed greatly in an instant, and he directly picked up the field phone in the headquarters and connected to the fifth artillery squad of the new regiment stationed on the top of Cuiping Peak.

Since Wang Chengzhu had already followed Li Yunlong to attack beyond Heng Mountain, the fifth artillery squad of the new regiment remaining on Cuiping Peak Mountain at this time was Hao Shengjie, the deputy commander of the artillery under Wang Chengzhu.

"Hao Shengjie, these are the two Zero fighters of the little devils, coming down from our ground anti-aircraft fire. Tell the brothers that only light and heavy machine guns are allowed to shoot into the air, and pay attention to concealment and safety. When the little devil's bombers attack at low altitudes, you give me the 88mm anti-aircraft gun left by the regiment commander to kill all the incoming Japanese bombers! Can you complete the task? ”

On the hidden anti-aircraft gun running position behind the top of Cuiping Peak, Hao Shengjie had already heard the roar of the incoming Japanese planes, because on the top of the hill dozens of miles outside Heng Mountain, there was a new group of peripheral air defense observation posts.

The formation of Japanese fighters commanded by Keiichi Hojo roared over, and the roar had already aroused the awareness of the new regiment's outer air defense observation posts. Before the Japanese fighter flotilla arrived over Hengshan two minutes earlier, the fighters of the air defense observation post already reported by telephone to Hao Shengjie, the leader of the fifth squadron of the artillery unit and deputy head of the artillery unit responsible for air defense in the depth of the base area.

"Report to the commissar, we already know. Now that two Japanese Zero fighters are attacking Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge at a low altitude, I have ordered the soldiers in charge of air defense in the two places to pay attention to concealment. It is only necessary to use light and heavy machine guns to fire at the air to repel the fighter attacks of the little devils. The 88-mm anti-aircraft gun still had about 200 shells, just waiting for the little devil's bombers to attack at low altitude. Hey, hey, hey! Guaranteed to complete the mission and kill all ten bombers of the little devils! "Nuancai Literature Network

Hao Shengjie smiled at Zhao Gang on the other end of the phone and said, he Hao Shengjie is already familiar with the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and personally commanded the artillery counterattack to absolutely kill the incoming Japanese bombers.

"Okay, it's up to you!" Zhao Gang said to Hao Shengjie on the other end of the phone, and then quickly hung up the field phone, picked up the binoculars and looked at Cuiping Peak.

At this time, two Japanese Zero fighters roaring at a low altitude fired at Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge at low altitude. According to Hao Shengjie's order, the concealed air defense positions on the mountaintops of the two places only used light and heavy machine guns to fire at the air, and the air defense positions on the two hills totaled more than 50 light and heavy machine guns, of which there were more than 20 heavy machine guns, and most of the heavy machine guns were Makqin heavy machine guns, and the anti-aircraft fire was fast and fierce.

"Da !!!"

The bullets from the light and heavy machine guns formed a crossfire, and they fired fiercely at the two Japanese Zero fighters that suddenly strafed Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge at a low altitude.

Bullets whizzed across the sky, and the Japanese Zero fighters that were firing at low altitudes were a burst of fierce liver.

"Bagaya Road, there is light and heavy machine gun fire and air defense of the Zhina Army on the mountain, quickly drop, withdraw!" The Japanese pilot of one of the Japanese Zero fighters screamed in fright when he saw the fire coming like a tide on the ground.

Although the Japanese Zero fighter was agile and maneuverable, its body strength was inferior to that of the armor of the American fighter. Especially in the anti-strafing process, if you encounter the fire of light and heavy machine guns on the ground, you will also agree to catch fire and burn once you are hit, and you will become a "coffin" in flight! ”。

The two little devil's Zero fighters were attacked by a rapid fire attack from the air defense positions of more than 50 new regiments deployed on the Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge Mountains, and they were so frightened that they quickly pulled up the fighters and took them into the air and fled.

Soon, the two Japanese Zero fighters escaped into the air and withdrew to the two wings of the Japanese bomber cluster flying back and forth in the air.

"Nani? There are a lot of machine guns on the top of Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge in terms of anti-aircraft fire? At least thirty more? Didn't have that large-caliber anti-aircraft gun? ”

Seeing the Japanese Zero fighter who fled back in embarrassment, he asked the pilot of one of the Japanese Zero fighters through the earphone Hojo Keiichi.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Most of the anti-aircraft fire at Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge was light and heavy machine guns, and there were no large-caliber anti-aircraft weapons to fire at us. But Your Excellency Shaozuo, under the resistance to bombing, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground will also cause the loss of a few bombers! ”

Keiichi Hojo picked up the telescope and looked at the ground through the cabin window, only to see two mountains in front of the ground, and the ground was still burning and fighting.

Thinking of the preciousness of the bomber, Keiichi Hojo did not want to lose the bomber during this mission. Otherwise, if the bomber loses Yoshio Shinozuka, he will not be punished, and Tada Jun will definitely punish him.

"Order the bombers to prepare to fly over Cuiping Peak and Tianfeng Ridge, prepare with sights, and carry out high-altitude horizontal bombing. Fighter flank cover. When asked that there was no large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery counterattack on the ground, Hojo Keiichi thought that it was wrong to get the information from Yoshio Shinozuka before, so he hurriedly flew over the two places to carry out high-altitude horizontal bombing and quickly withdrew.

As Hojo Keiichi's order was conveyed, ten Japanese-made Type 96 land bombers flew over the two places, and soon the hatches of the bombers opened, and rows of aerial bombs smashed down to the ground with a screaming "boom" sound.
