Chapter 233: Okamura Ninji's Shock
More than 20 Mustang fighters, after shooting down all the bombers of the little devils, everyone still seemed a little unsatisfied, and several pilots of the Mustang fighters saw more than a dozen little devils parachuting below, who had opened their parachutes and were falling to the ground flutteringly.
The pilots of these Mustang fighters immediately piloted their planes, lowered them and dived down, shooting at the little devils in the sky, and all the little devils who were hit by the machine guns on the plane turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The leader of the Mustang fighter squadron, seeing that several of his pilots were looking for trouble with the little devils who parachuted, also smiled slightly, and scolded in his heart, these rabbit cubs are really idle.
The little devils who parachuted saw the Chinese fighters swooping down, they felt bad, and they saw several little devils being beaten into a puff of blood mist, and the remaining little devils were frightened, their faces were like earth, and their hearts were so anxious that they thought that they would just land on the ground as soon as possible.
In the eyes of these little devils, the height of these hundreds of meters seems to be so long, I feel that it has been a long time, and the altitude has only dropped a little, and in the desperate eyes of the little devils, these Mustang fighters roared again.
Several Mustang fighters fired fiercely at the remaining little devils, who were all shattered by dense large-caliber machine gun bullets, and looked miserable, and some of them were only half of them still hanging on parachutes, slowly floating to the ground.
After destroying all the little devils, these Mustang fighters immediately pulled up, joined the large army, and everyone flew to Datong Airport......
Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.
Gao Zhihang reported the good news of the flight brigade to Zhang Yunfei at the first time, this big victory, the total annihilation of two flight squadrons of little devils, more than 30 aircraft, Gao Zhihang was very happy, he not only personally went to the airport to greet the triumphant pilots, but also personally shook hands with all the pilots who carried out this mission.
After receiving Gao Zhihang's good news, Zhang Yunfei was also very happy, this battle gave the air force of the North China Front of the little devil a heavy blow, I am afraid that this time, the plane loss of the little devil Beiping Airport has already been more than half.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, said with joy on his face after reading the good news of the flying group: "Commander-in-chief, this time we have not only dealt a severe blow to the air force of the little devils, but more importantly, Okamura Ningji, an old devil, must think that we are really going to attack Zhangjiakou.
Not only did we dispatch more than 70,000 men from three infantry divisions, but we also demonstrated the mighty firepower of more than 200 heavy guns from three artillery regiments. ”
After speaking, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, smiled heartily.
Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department next to him, also smiled and said happily: "This time, we are more sure of the Mengsui Army that fights the little devils, and now I estimate that the eyes of both sides are on Zhangjiakou." ”
For a while, the headquarters was filled with laughter......
Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the little devil.
Gangcun Ningji was still walking around the office, and an hour earlier, he had sent a squadron of fighters and a squadron of bombers to Zhangjiakou to strike at the heavy artillery group of the [***] team.
But after the order was given, Okamura Ninji felt a little uneasy again, and as time went by, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and it had been an hour, and there had been no plane return.
Ten minutes ago, Gangcun Ningci had personally called the Beiping Airport to inquire, but the Beiping Airport replied that no planes had returned home, and the airport could not contact the two aircraft squadrons for the time being.
Helplessly, Okamura Ningji had to wait anxiously in his office, more than 30 planes, more than half of all the planes at Beiping Airport, Okamura Ningji valued these planes very much.
Just as Okamura Ninji was anxiously waiting, the chief of staff of the little devil walked in quickly, stood up and saluted, and said with sadness: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received a telegram from Zhangjiakou, half an hour ago, the 36th Group Army dispatched more than 20 planes, and there was a fierce air battle with our planes near Zhangjiakou. ”
After speaking, the little devil's chief of staff's voice was a little choked, and he couldn't continue for a while.
The anxious Okamura Ningji immediately said angrily: "Yaga, go on, how is our plane, the three heavy artillery groups of the [***] team were blown up." ”
The chief of staff of the little devil finally managed to control his emotions and continued: "According to the telegram sent by the 30th Division in Zhangjiakou, the 24 planes of our fighter squadron and more than 20 planes from the Chinese side fought fiercely for more than ten minutes, and all our fighters were shattered. ”
After speaking, the little devil staff officer bowed his head deeply.
After listening to Okamura Ningji, he only felt that his eyes seemed to be a little black, and he almost didn't stand firm, and the chief of staff of the little devil next to him reacted quite quickly, and he helped Okamura Ningji, whose feet were weak.
At this time, Okamura Ningji was very shocked and couldn't believe that one of his fighter squadrons fought with a similar number of Chinese fighters, and it only took ten minutes for the whole army to be wiped out.
What shocked and uneasy Okamura Ningji even more was that the Chinese [***] team actually dispatched a large number of planes to participate in the battle, Okamura Ningji thought to himself, it seems that Zhang Yunfei is determined to fight Zhangjiakou this time.
Zhangjiakou can't be lost, Okamura Ningji thought to himself, Zhangjiakou is not only the northwest gate of Beiping, but also the geographical location is very important, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers.
After a long time, Okamura Ningji's mood calmed down slightly, and he continued to ask hopefully: "Then what happened to our bomber squadron?" Did the three heavy artillery groups of the [***] team be blown up? ”
The chief of staff of the little devil lowered his head even lower, not daring to face Okamura Ningji's hopeful gaze, and continued to say sadly: "The heavy artillery group of the squadron has not been destroyed, and our bomber squadron has successfully evacuated the battlefield and retreated to the Beiping airfield while the Chinese fighters and our fighter squadron are fighting, and it is estimated that after a while, our bomber squadron will return to the Beiping airfield." ”
Seeing that the Chinese heavy artillery group was not destroyed, Okamura Ninji felt a little disappointed, losing so many fighters and excellent pilots, and actually did not destroy the heavy artillery group of the [***] team, but fortunately, the bomber squadron successfully retreated, and there was no loss, Okamura Ninji thought in his heart, this may be the only fortunate place for this operation.
Okamura Ninji didn't know that at this time, the little devil's bomber squadron had been successfully defeated by China's Mustang fighters, and if Okamura Ninji knew, this bomber squadron would also be wiped out, and he would definitely vomit blood in anger.
Okamura Ningji, whose face was a little ugly, walked a few steps in his office, and after thinking for a while, he began to issue a series of orders: "Order all reinforcements to hurry up the march, and the vanguard troops will take the train along the Pingsui line to reach Zhangjiakou tomorrow morning, and order the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade that is resting in Langfang to immediately reinforce Zhangjiakou." ”
Originally, it was only planned to send two or three field divisions to support Zhangjiakou, but considering that the heavy artillery group of the [***] team was relatively powerful, and it would be a loss if there was no heavy artillery suppression, Okamura Ningji temporarily decided to let the Third Field Heavy Artillery Brigade support Zhangjiakou......
Zhangjiakou, the position of the 2nd Infantry Division.
At this time, the shelling had just ended, and Qian Long was holding a telescope, standing in the trench, carefully looking at the position of the little devil in the distance opposite.
The air battle just now, fierce and exciting, opened everyone's eyes, but half an hour of fierce shelling, it seems that the effect is also good, in the telescope, Qian Long saw that on the position of the little devil in the distance, many fortifications have been destroyed, and the casualties of the little devil are not small.
Qian Long saw that on the position of the little devils, many little devils took advantage of the cessation of the shelling and were cleaning up the corpses of the little devils, and many little devils were also carrying stretchers to carry the little devils who were injured in the shelling off the ground one by one.
Next to Qian Long, Comrade Wang Mingzhong, chief of staff of the Second Infantry Division, also held a telescope and looked at the tragic situation of the little devil's position opposite with great interest. ”
Qian Long smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The little devil will not take the initiative to attack us for the time being, the little devil is still waiting for their reinforcements, the commander-in-chief expects that Okamura Ningji, the old devil, may mobilize two or three field divisions to reinforce Zhangjiakou, I think, as soon as the little devil's reinforcements arrive, they will launch an active attack on us." ”
"I hope so, if the little devil dares to take the initiative to attack at this time, we will tell him to go and never return." Wang Mingzhong said confidently.
"Chief of Staff, despite this, it is still necessary to inform the soldiers to repair the fortifications, if it is not good, in a few days, there will be a big battle here, in addition, notify the artillery regiment to do a good job of defense, I am worried that the little devil has suffered such a big loss in front of our artillery, and he may take advantage of the darkness at night to make some small moves."
The prediction of Qian Long, the commander of the Second Infantry Division, was quite accurate, and the little devil was preparing to sneak attack the artillery position of the [***] team at night.
In Zhangjiakou City, the headquarters of the 30th Division of the Little Devils, the commander of the Little Devil Division, Nan Jiro, was convening a meeting of the senior commanders of the Little Devils to discuss how to get rid of the heavy artillery group of the [***] team.
Today, the fierce shelling has caused a lot of casualties to the little devils, and the commander of the little devil division, Nanjiro, watched a famous little devil die one after another under the shelling of the [***] team, and his heart was very painful, Nanjiro secretly made up his mind in his heart to destroy the heavy artillery group of the [***] team outside the city at all costs, even if it was a heavy artillery group.
