Chapter 809: Shoot down enemy planes

Although these 24 fighters were old planes from the First World War, Colonel Zhu brought the performance of these fighters into full play in a short period of three months, and once again won the first place in all previous exercises, and was sent to Zhoukou Airport in Henan Province as a reserve unit of the Central Military Commission, directly under the leadership of the chairman of the committee.

This time, if it weren't for the importance of the Battle of Taierzhuang and the repeated requests of the two commanders of the Xuzhou Theater, Lao Jiang would not have been willing to send this aviation brigade to help in the battle.

After receiving the order to attack, the colonels were excited, gathered their pilots and said to them: "Colleagues, the country has spent a lot of money and energy to train us to become pilots. Isn't it just that you can serve the country one day? Now that the Japanese invade our country, kill our compatriots, and do all kinds of evil, it is the time for us to serve the motherland, come with me, let's fight the devil plane! ”

The colonels' words were quite impassioned, and the pilots under them were enthusiastic, and they replied in unison: "Go and fight the devil!" Most of these pilots, like the colonels, are elite elements carefully selected from the units below; the motherland was invaded by the Japanese invaders, and their compatriots were brutally killed by the Japanese invaders; any Chinese with a sense of justice would certainly not be willing to go on like this; when they knew that they were going to go to the battlefield to kill devils, how could they not be excited and excited?

When the 24 fighters took off in unison, and after turning and circling around the airport, the colonels who piloted the command plane gave a standard military salute to the airfield below, this was his first actual battle, dealing with those ferocious little devil air force planes, at this moment he was ready to sacrifice his life for the country at any time, and only by putting him to death and then quickly could he defeat the little devils!

According to the information from the ground in the Xuzhou Theater, there was already a group of devil bombers rushing in the direction of Taierzhuang, the number was twelve, half of the number of his fighters, Colonel Zhu estimated, even if their fighters were at full power and rushed over at the highest speed, it would be twenty minutes after the devil bombers flew to Taierzhuang, because the distance was too far!

The colonels were afraid that they would not be able to catch these devil bombers, so they thought of a way and hurriedly radioed to the Xuzhou Theater Command, asking the ground troops to find a way to delay the time of these devil bombers in Taierzhuang.

Good guys, the **** brothers on the ground are usually most afraid of these devil planes that come to bomb indiscriminately, and always hope that these devil planes can return after dropping bombs, but this time their own aviation officers sent a message asking them to delay these devil planes in the sky over Taierzhuang as much as possible, isn't this a joke? How can there be such a request?

After receiving this telegram, Chief Li immediately asked his staff officers to forward it to Han Fei, and he knew that the colonels must have a reason for asking the ground troops in the theater to give such cooperation, and since Han Fei was the front-line commander-in-chief of the Taierzhuang Campaign, let him handle this matter.

After Han Fei received this telegram forwarded by Chief Li, he immediately understood the intention of the colonels, he made a comparison on the map, and knew that the distance from Zhoukou Airport in Henan Province to Taierzhuang was more than twice as long as that of the devils from airports all over Shandong, if these devil bombers were allowed to leave after dropping bombs, then the fighters who came would run in vain, and if they couldn't hit the devil planes, then what was the use of these fighters flying over, they were fighters, and they were only equipped with cannons. Using fighter jets to strafe those devil infantry on the ground is also not very effective.

Han Fei then immediately adjusted the original air defense deployment, let those anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns not fire first, when the devil strafed and bombed the position before listening to his own order to fire, after this order was issued, the officer on the anti-aircraft artillery position did not understand very much, and asked Han Fei on the phone: "Chief Han, do we want to watch the devil plane spread over our heads?" ”

"It's not that I don't care, but the time has not come, you must listen to my orders before firing, otherwise you will be dealt with as disobeying military orders!" Han Fei didn't have much time to explain to his subordinates at the moment.

Although the officer was very unconvinced, but there was no way, he didn't dare to disobey Han Fei's order, so he had to grit his teeth and endure the indiscriminate bombing of the devil planes that rushed over the Taierzhuang position, when the devil bombers threw aerial bombs on the position, and exploded violently, the officer almost couldn't help but rush up to shoot back, but was pulled by his subordinates: "Sir, don't be impulsive, have you forgotten Chief Han's order?" ”

The officer stomped his foot and said, "What the hell is the order?" It's almost blown up by the devil plane, and you don't fire the guns? What is this about? ”

At the moment when the officer stomped his feet and cursed, a signal soldier with a radio on his back ran to report to him: "Commander Han ordered us to open fire!" ”

"Haha! It's finally time to get started! Shoot me right now! The commander of the anti-aircraft artillery position snatched the small flag held by his subordinates next to him and gave the order to open fire to the artillery in front!

Suddenly, the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns on the position began to roar angrily, and there was the scene of beating the devil bomber just now, and the artillery brothers beat up for a while, and actually shot down a devil bomber, which boosted the morale and confidence of the infantry brothers who were bombed by the devils on the position, and suddenly the combat morale of the brothers of the various units on the position was unprecedentedly high, and they rushed out of the trenches one after another, and launched a big counterattack against the devil position on the opposite side!

At this moment, the twenty-four fighters led by Colonel Zhu suddenly appeared in front of the group of devil bombers that hastily rose to the clouds to avoid the air defense fire below, which completely disrupted the formation of the devil bombers, and in the face of the fighters far exceeding their own numbers, these ordinary and unpretentious devil pilots had their faces as earth, and they turned around and ran towards Shandong!

But it was too late, and the Chinese fighters, whose speed was far faster than the devil bombers, quickly caught up with them, and surrounded them in the sky above Taierzhuang, and as the cannon on the command plane of the colonels fired, the twenty-four fighters almost simultaneously sprayed out the fire of revenge at the opposite devil bomber!

"Da Da Da" a group of hot tongues of fire rushed towards the devil bomber, and at that time, the wings of the two ghost bombers that fled in a hurry were shot out and black smoke billowed out, and the Chinese soldiers on the ground who looked up to watch the battle broke out into a burst of cheers!
