Naoto Ohara was right, the No. 1 airfield was indeed bombed by the Japanese army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the other hand, it is because the guns of more than a dozen Japanese warships, especially the 356mm caliber guns of battleships, are a big crater when they come over, and what is worse is that the positions of these Japanese warships are in the rear of the Chinese army...... In front of the Oribo Mountain and the 382 Heights, at least there is a bit of a dead end, and in the rear is a flat beach, all kinds of guns of the Japanese warships can be unobstructed, without pressure, and even the direct fire of anti-aircraft guns can hit the No. 1 airfield.

It's just that the results are another matter.

At this time, there were actually not a few fighters at the No. 1 airfield, and most of them were transferred to the "Pinghai" by blindfolding methods before dark, and even a few "Hellcat" fighters were transferred.

Of course, the "Hellcat" fighters were not transferred to the "Pinghai," and it was too dangerous to do so, although the American pilots all voluntarily asked for orders at this time, saying that they hoped to try to take off and land on the "Pinghai...... The American pilots were still very adventurous, and they saw how heroic the Chinese troops were fighting, and they felt like deserters just quitting the battle.

It should be said that this suggestion is very tempting for Zhang Chi, because the "Hellcat" at this time is like a god-like existence on the battlefield, even if there are only one or two, it will be of great help to seize air supremacy.

But in the end, Zhang Chi rejected the suggestion.

The first reason is that Zhang Chi predicts that the "Wildcat" fighter will have enough strength to seize air supremacy in future battles, and there is no need for US pilots to take risks.

The other is that the Chinese army is not ready for the "Hellcat" to land on the "Pinghai" and participate in real combat...... For example, scheduling problems, landing if there is a crash problem, and so on.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Chi still let this part of the "Hellcat" return to the Mariana Islands.

In the end, only a dozen fighters remained...... eight "Hellcats" and five "Wildcats" remained at Airport No. 1.

After all, you have to leave some fighters on the island to make a show, otherwise you won't be able to deceive the Japanese.

Zhang Chi's plan was to let these fighters bomb the Japanese at the airport, anyway, the Americans had fighters, as long as the pilots were protected.

But unexpectedly, the Chinese army and Chinese and American pilots did not agree, and they spontaneously organized themselves to dig several bunkers for these fighters on the side of Heights 382...... This is not difficult for them, even with excavators and bulldozers to quickly put it out, but the safety of this machine fort is not very good, because the mud and gravel will "rustle" down if there is a little vibration, and it may even collapse and bury the fighter. The pilots did these things purely with the mentality of "treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor".

However, it turned out that what they did was still worthwhile, because six of the thirteen fighters were successfully preserved, and some of the seven that were damaged only needed to be repaired and used.

As for casualties, the tunnels captured by the soldiers from the Japanese are the best caves for hiding soldiers, especially in Oribayama...... Mt. Oriba is an extinct volcano with a crater depression in the middle, and this part of the cannonball will have a dead spot no matter which direction it comes from, making it a great hiding place.

In fact, the more important thing should be that the main target of the Japanese bombing was the No. 1 airfield, otherwise the battleship's 356mm shells bombarded the 382 heights for a while, even if it would not cause a large-scale collapse of the tunnel, the earthquake would have killed a number of people.

A full twenty minutes of bombardment.

This bombing time may not be much for the Chinese and American forces...... The bombing of Japan by the Sino-US coalition forces was calculated in days, and the 20-minute bombing could only be regarded as a joke.

But for the resource-starved Japanese army, it was a bloody investment.

Then, as soon as the artillery stopped, the Japanese rushed up shouting.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the position had just been bombed by dense shells, and the sky was full of smoke and dust, so it could almost be said that only the sound of the enemy was not visible.

However, the Chinese army has been prepared for a long time...... The Chinese army may not be as good at night fighting as the Japanese army, and by being good at night fighting, I mean that the Chinese army is not good at attacking at night. But that doesn't mean the Chinese army isn't good at defending at night.

Because when the Chinese Expeditionary Force was fighting against the Japanese army, the most common thing they encountered was to push the position over during the day, and then be pushed back by the Japanese army at night...... After many battles like this, I knew how to resist the Japanese attack at night.

For example, now, as soon as the Japanese artillery fire stopped, the soldiers drilled into the fortifications from the tunnels or hidden soldiers, and then each platoon sent a soldier who had been prepared for a long time and carried a few mines to the front of the position to lay mines.

The fighters called this task the laying of pre-array mines.

Don't look at these are just a few small mines, and if they are just these mines, they won't hurt a few devils...... Only one was sent from a platoon, and this soldier was still carrying only a few mines, and he came back after laying them as fast as he could, so there were not a few mines in front of the entire defensive line.

But the role of these mines is no small thing. Its purpose is not to kill as many devils as it can kill, but to warn the soldiers...... In the dark, the fighters in the line did not know when to shoot, and sometimes they could not see even the flares.

If you fight early, not only will it not play its due role, but it will also waste bullets, and even expose the position of your own defense line to the enemy, which is extremely dangerous in battle, especially in night battles.

If you fight late, the enemy rushes in front of you before you can hit a few bullets, so it won't help.

Laying out pre-array mines can solve this problem very well.

This array of front mines is generally laid more than 10 meters in front of the position...... It is far from realistic, because the Japanese army often rushes up behind the artillery fire, and the reaction time is often only one or two minutes, so the soldiers who set up the mines in front of the formation need to have very agile skills.

Then, when the mine in front of the formation was triggered, the fighters knew that the devil had rushed to a distance of only a dozen meters from the defense line.

So, with the orders of each platoon commander, the soldiers threw out a row of grenades, and then fired a row of bullets into the darkness, and this fire only beat the Japanese soldiers all over the field.

The most useful thing is the flamethrower, a fire dragon past, not only can burn the Japanese army to the point of crying wolf, those Japanese soldiers running around with flames can also clearly illuminate the surrounding environment and even the Japanese army that is still rushing upward.
