Chapter 497: Fierce Clearing-Land Armageddon
"I don't care what the purpose of the little devil is. However, today I, Liu Hua, stand here, no matter what, I can't let the little devil's plan succeed in front of me. If you want to up with dozens of planes, don't even think about it. Today, I'm here to watch, how the little devil came, how he will escape back when the time comes, and let him take off a layer of skin..."Regarding the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua nodded noncommittally. After seeing the dozens of bombers that had flown above his head, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a sneer, and he said with a gloomy face..."All of them..."As he spoke, the 36 anti-aircraft guns distributed on both sides of the highway were already hovering at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the little devil planes that were about to enter the attack position shot out one after another high-explosive anti-aircraft artillery shells... Suddenly, clouds of black smoke, with the explosion of the cannonballs, began to rise in the middle of the little devil cluster..."Boom boom..."In the blink of an eye, in the middle of the dense group of little devils, five little devil planes that had not had time to make any reaction were directly hit by shells, and together with the pilots, they directly turned into huge fireballs... With the explosion of shells, five aircraft exploded in volleys in the swarm. The group of little devil planes, which was still in an orderly manner just now, immediately became chaotic because they had to dodge the shells flying around, and began to fight on their own..."Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, I didn't expect them to have so many anti-aircraft artillery, Ba Ge Yalu... All combat aircraft, in small squadrons, were ordered to form a new group of attack aircraft to carry out scattered attacks on the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the ground ... After the bomb was dropped, it immediately climbed out of the range of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft fire, and now began to move..."Looking at the fireballs that had exploded in the air and were slowly falling, I looked at the surrounding group of planes that had slowly fallen into chaos. Oda Osa, who led the team, was shocked and angry at the same time, and loudly gave the order to attack.
Finally, under the command of Oda Daisa, the chaotic group of planes slowly became orderly. One by one, a group of three attack planes began to fly around the battlefield with a loud whistling sound, preparing to dive and attack. However, at this moment, two bomber wings, 72 aircraft, after several rounds of sudden strikes from just a few dozen anti-aircraft guns. Before launching any attack on the Eighth Route Army on the ground, it lost a full ten aircraft, which can be said to be a disadvantage for the division, and to a certain extent, it was a good blow to the morale of the little devil pilots... However, just when these little devil pilots who had just escaped from the range of ground anti-aircraft fire and were ready to dive out of attack were happy about their luck. Unbeknownst to them, there were 150 anti-aircraft machine guns and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the ground, waiting for them to come within range of their firepower. And then, give these arrogant little devils a fatal blow ....
"Buzz... A huge roar of airplanes, mixed with a burst of whistling through the air, reached the ears of the soldiers. A group of attack aircraft, consisting of three aircraft, took the lead in launching an attack on the ground, preparing for a low-altitude dive bomb drop ... As the three planes got closer and closer to the ground, the trucks, which were only simply concealed, immediately appeared in the eyes of these pilots. Seeing trucks full of supplies, these little devils were like seeing naked women one by one, and a look of greed immediately appeared on their faces..."Yo Xi, it is said that the Imperial Air Force is invincible, and today, we must let the Eighth Route Army troops on the ground taste our strength." Find the target of the attack and prepare to drop the bomb..."I saw a large truck full of various supplies on the ground. The panicked expression on the pilot's face because of the sudden blow just now was immediately swept away. Then, with a hint of excitement and bloodthirsty greed on his face, his own landline with unblinking eyes swooped towards a truck not far away, and quickly dived over..."Fifteen hundred meters, one thousand three hundred meters... 1,000 meters..."The little devil pilot's eyes kept staring at the altimeter in front of him, calculating the best altitude for dropping bombs... And just when he had just dodged the anti-aircraft artillery shells that were rapidly firing at him, broke through a height of one thousand meters, and was about to drop bombs at low altitude, an incredible scene appeared in his eyes... The ground, which was still empty just now, and only trucks were staying, suddenly burst out of countless dense tongues of fire. And these dozens of dense tongues of fire have only one goal, that is, their own car....instantly, their own landline is shrouded by a dense firepower net... A dense rain of bullets from a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns immediately turned the wings into a hornet's nest. The entire plane, also in the midst of this dense strafing, began to shake violently, and was in danger of disintegrating at any time.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army...."The pilot scolded loudly, immediately gave up the idea of continuing to drop bombs, and prepared to raise the fuselage and withdraw from the range of the ground anti-aircraft machine guns. However, with the enormous habit of flying an airplane, it takes at least a few seconds to ascend directly from a dive.
Just as the whole plane was lifted, the whole plane was parallel to the ground. When the little devil pilot's face slowly showed a hint of excitement. Several anti-aircraft machine gun bullets accurately passed through the floor of the aircraft cabin, from the bottom to the top, into the stomach of the little devil pilot ....
"Ahh Eight Grid Tooth Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army...... "Feeling the coming of death, the little devil pilot was shocked, and at the same time, he immediately showed a look of despair and scolded loudly. And the plane, which lost its longitudinal column, also became the key target of the ground air defense forces in the first place... A huge explosion sounded, and the entire plane instantly turned into a huge fireball, slowly falling to the ground....
"Boom, boom, boom...."One after another, one after another little devil planes, at a distance of a thousand meters in the air, were hit by the dense anti-aircraft fire on the ground and exploded in the air, turning into huge fireballs... Even those who broke through the network of anti-aircraft machine guns organized by the defense and control of fire, when they reached the height of five hundred meters to drop bombs. Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the ground, firing a dense network of fire, once again enveloped it all... Although, the sporadic bombs dropped by the little devils kept exploding on the ground, causing some minor damage to the troops and the entire convoy. However, the little devil plane responsible for dropping the bomb, after dropping the bomb, could not escape the retaliatory attack of the soldiers in the dense rain of bullets...
"Bageya Road, why does the Eighth Route Army have so much firepower for prevention and control, Baga..." has not participated in the battle, with the last bomber squadron, hovering high in the air. Prepare at the last moment to deliver a fatal blow to the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the ground and completely destroy the commander-in-chief of the entire convoy, Oda Daisa. Seeing that on the battlefield of air combat, one after another of the planes of the Great Empire were slaughtered under the blow of dense anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and one after another exploded, and it became a completely one-sided battle. Oda Daisa's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army is so dense that we have lost almost half of our aircraft and are no longer capable of carpet bombing. He suggested that all planes immediately withdraw from the battle and put an end to this pointless bombing, and asked Your Excellency, commander, to make a decision immediately for the sake of the future development of our North China Garrison Army Air Force..."As soon as Oda Daisa's words were finished, another Wing Commander's suggestion came out of his ears..."No, the Imperial Air Force is invincible, and he ordered all planes to continue the offensive and destroy all the Eighth Route Army units on the ground...."In the face of huge casualties, Oda Osa seemed to have lost his mind. As for the suggestion of the other wing captain, he didn't think about it, and loudly vetoed it. At the same time, he also quickly lowered the fuselage, took the two wingmen behind him, and quickly rushed to the battlefield, ready to participate in the battle in person, to boost morale..."Your Excellency Commander, please be cautious, it is said that this empire can no longer withstand such losses...."Looking at the commander who was leaving quickly, the other wing commander roared loudly while being anxious. However, without any reply from Oda, the three planes with Oda Osa, still without any scruples, rushed to the battlefield not far away where artillery fire and explosions continued to occur..."Warriors, I am your Supreme Commander Oda Osa. Today, the time has come for us to dedicate. For the sake of the Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, do not have any worries and destroy all the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the ground. All the fighters who can continue to fight, immediately dive and drop bombs...."Arriving at the battlefield, Oda Osa dodged the anti-aircraft artillery shells that were constantly exploding around him, and at the same time shouted loudly through the walkie-talkie on the battlefield to the remaining fighter pilots on the battlefield....
Under the encouragement of Commander Dazuo, the pilots of one fighter plane after another, who had only disappeared for a moment, seemed to be crazy. No longer dodging the dense rain of bullets from the ground, facing the dense bullets and shells, desperately rushing to the ground target... Although, their lifeless dive caused a certain panic among the fighters on the ground. However, without any evasion, they became the first target of the fighters, and they also became the best targets for the fighters... In an instant, in the midst of another new offensive of the little devils, one plane after another exploded in the air after being hit again, directly turning into huge fireballs. Even the fighter plane of the commander-in-chief, Oda Daisa, exploded after being fired at by dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns and light and heavy machine guns at the same time, and there was no chance of escape. And the result of such a huge loss was only a dozen bombs, which exploded on the position of the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and even Oda's plane was destroyed. Another wing commander, who was still hovering at high altitude and did not join the fighting, scolded hatefully, and at the first time, took over the command of the entire bomber unit ....
"Warriors, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army is completely beyond our imagination, and you have done your best. Even Oda Daisa, in the battle just now, dedicated himself to the sake of His Majesty the Emperor. Now I am the supreme commander here, and now I order, all fighters immediately withdraw from the battlefield, out of the range of the Eighth Route Army's firepower, and prepare to retreat....All fighters, immediately retreat..."After taking over the command of the troops, the wing commander, who had already wanted to withdraw from the battlefield, immediately ordered..."Buzz...."As the roar of the engine became smaller and smaller, the little devil wing leader, with the remaining 28 planes, hurriedly threw the ammunition he carried at high altitude, and withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment. Looking at the figure of the plane, getting smaller and smaller, slowly disappearing from everyone's field of vision, and everyone's cheers immediately sounded on the battlefield..."Hooray....Hurrah... Hooray...."
"Great job, Commander. It was the best and most intense battle I've ever seen in my military career. A whole 44 bombers were wiped out by us... This time, I don't know which unlucky little devil commander will commit suicide by breaking his stomach to their Emperor Majesty..."Looking at the ground, the wreckage of the little devil's plane that was burning with flames was burning. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan looked excited, looked at Liu Hua beside him, and said excitedly...
In fact, what they didn't know was that the supreme commander of the entire bomber formation, Oda Daisa, was an excellent little devil senior officer. At the last moment, why did he not have a little sense, desperately indulge his fighter plane, launch a near-suicidal attack on the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and finally died. In fact, the reason is very simple, because he knows what the result is waiting for him after the failure of his operation this time and the loss of so many fighters. So, in order to escape the punishment of military law, the only thing he could do was to die as a warrior and bring his military career to a successful end. And his goal was really achieved. After all, no matter how much the commander of the army tried to shirk the responsibility, it was impossible to shift the responsibility for the defeat to a high-ranking officer who died on the battlefield..."Yes, I did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly. From the beginning to the end, less than half an hour had just passed, and the little devil had to retreat in embarrassment. However, political commissar, this is all the result of the soldiers' proper training in the past few days, and the advanced equipment of our equipment... If we didn't have such a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, we would definitely pay a heavy price if we wanted to achieve the final victory..."Liu Hua nodded and said..."Speaking of which, these are all the credit of you, Commander. At first, I couldn't figure out why you were training the team on prevention and control. Now I finally understand that these trainings are for little devils. I believe that with the great results of this air battle, the great gift we gave to the Party Central Committee will be even more important...."Luo Ronghuan said with a smile on his face....
"Brigade Commander Li, order all the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately and count the casualties of the troops. I hope that in an hour, the convoy will be able to move forward..."Regarding the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua did not say anything more, and ordered with a serious face to Bruce Lee, the commander of the guard brigade beside him... The battlefield that had just fallen into tranquility was once again lively. Groups of soldiers, with the sound of loud trumpets, emerged from the cornfields where they were hiding, and began to push trucks onto the highway under the command of commanders at all levels. At the same time, on the battlefield, the corpse of a comrade-in-arms was reined in, and a wounded person was treated....
An hour later, after the air raid, the remaining 90 or so trucks were all dragged onto the highway by the soldiers, lined up, and ready to set off at any time. As for the various wounded who appeared in the battle just now, because at this moment, the convoy is located in the base area to which the 120th Division belongs. Therefore, Liu Hua did not have any politeness, and directly handed over hundreds of various wounded to the local armed forces for care, and when the convoy returned, he brought them back to the base area....
"The commander, the commissar, the losses of the convoy have been counted, a total of five trucks have been destroyed, fortunately, these destroyed trucks are loaded with all kinds of finances, and in the process of the bombing of the little devils, there is basically no loss. In addition, I have asked the soldiers to spread the finances on the five trucks among the other trucks, so that the troops can continue to march without any problems..."Bruce Lee stood in front of the two of them and reported with a happy face....
"What a fluke... Fortunately, there was no loss of the materials sent to the central government. Otherwise, in this place where there is no village and no store, there is no way to make up for these materials. By the way, Brigade Commander Li, the casualties of the troops are not large, especially the losses of the two air defense regiments..."Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"Commander, don't worry, the Guards Brigade lost a total of 368 fighters in the air raid just now, most of them were light and heavy machine gunners, in addition, it also lost 8 heavy machine guns and 27 light machine guns. As for the two air defense regiments, the loss of fighters was 498 people. As for the loss of equipment, it included a total of 7 anti-aircraft guns, 18 anti-aircraft machine guns ... As for the cavalry brigade, the total loss of the engineer regiment was 115 people, which was not a big loss..."replied Bruce Lee.
"Okay, great. This time, the little devil is stealing chickens and rice. Not only did it not cause us any big losses, but it lost dozens of planes ... According to the scale of the little devil planes of the North China Garrison Army, at this moment, all the little devil planes in the entire North China Garrison Army, after the losses just now, all add up to more than 100 planes. Removing some reconnaissance aircraft and fighters, there are only a handful of them capable of bombing ... As long as the little devil does not reinforce North China in China, in the next period of time, the little devil air force will never dare to fly above our head again to be arrogant...."Commander Liu Hua said excitedly....
