After Jiang Guangnai ordered the troops to disperse the air defense concealment, he scattered all the divisional reconnaissance battalions to reconnoiter the position of the Japanese army to see if it was possible to find the gap left by the Japanese army and break through.

The bombers equipped by the Japanese naval aviation were originally designed to deal with sea targets, so according to international practice, they were all equipped with dive bombers. The advantage of a dive bomber is that it can carry out relatively accurate bombing, and in contrast, it increases the chance of being hit.

More than 30 fighters swooped down on the position of the 12th Division, and the anti-aircraft artillery of the 12th Division took the lead in firing at the terrible air defense whistle.

In terms of the advanced nature of its equipment alone, the Fourth Army is the worst of the five army in terms of equipment, and this is due to the quality of its soldiers. Compared with these three divisions alone, because the 12th Division was reorganized on the basis of the former Jiangsu First Security Division, the quality of the soldiers in this division is the best, which also makes the advanced equipment assembly rate of this division the highest.

Because of the existence of the military headquarters of the Fourth Army, the 12th Division has a semi-mechanized brigade directly under the army (the reason why it is called a semi-mechanized brigade is because the brigade is not equipped with a regiment of self-propelled artillery units like several other armies, but only a self-propelled artillery battalion), a guard regiment, an air defense regiment, an engineer battalion, a communications company, and a medium-sized field hospital.

The units directly under these corps can provide about one regiment of air defense strength, plus the 12th Division originally had two regiment-sized air defense units, and three regiments of air defense units simultaneously air defense, although the density was not enough to kill and injure a large number of Japanese aircraft, but it was enough to cause trouble to the Japanese aircraft group.

The 9th Division was provided with aviation support by the Soryu aircraft carrier flotilla, with the "Soryu" aircraft carrier as its flagship. The Japanese Navy, which was originally in a supporting role in the War of Resistance Against Japan, dismantled several aircraft carriers that originally belonged to the Combined Fleet and formed a small fleet with a single aircraft carrier as the flagship. The results of the "Let's Sink" operation were not only as simple as sinking the aircraft carriers "Akagi" and "Flying Dragon," but the most important significance of the operation was that it dealt a serious blow to the arrogance of the Japanese Navy, and made them no longer dare to regard the South China Sea as their own backyard and gallop freely. Compared with the Japanese Army, the Japanese Navy's harm to China is extremely slight, and the reason for this situation is not that the Japanese Navy officers and men have sympathy for China or that the officers and men are due to their personality, but in fact because the Japanese Navy is disdainful of the Chinese Navy. Since the successful implementation of the "Let's Sink" operation, the Japanese Navy's proud mentality has been completely corrected, and for the cadet army, this is also the sequelae of the "Sunken" operation -- under the specific planning of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Japanese Combined Fleet was split into a number of small fleets and began to implement a retaliation plan. These small hateful fleets roamed the coast of Fujian, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against the ground structures and armaments of the Cadet Corps. The reason why Okuichiro was able to obtain support from naval aviation so easily this time was due to the Japanese Navy's series of retaliation plans.

The pilot plane of the bombers that took off from the Canglong was piloted by a young man named Atsuki Kuramura. Kuramura Atsuhime piloted an attack plane, in order to ensure flexibility, gave up the bomb, so he was able to be the first to rush to the battlefield, and this fighter number 145 appeared over the battlefield of the 12th Division, the sound of ping-pong explosions sounded, the air defense units of the 12th Division opened fire in an all-round way, and when they landed, fine explosion clouds began to frequently appear in the field of vision of the Japanese air force.

In the face of such a large-scale anti-aircraft firepower network, Zangcun could not help but have a trace of doubt: Is this really just the air defense power of a division-level unit?

Zangcun had participated in the air raids on Shanghai and Nanjing, and he was well aware of the strength of the Chinese army's air defense, but in his impression, a display of air defense strength of this scale had only appeared in Nanjing, and at that time, the Chinese army in Nanjing had reached 35 divisions.

There was no line-of-sight radio communication between the Japanese planes, so the coordination between the planes mostly depended on the gestures of the commanders. Of course, because of the fact that they are in the air, almost one-third of the fighters are able to obtain reliable command signals through the observation of their pilots, so before taking off, the specific plans and steps of the combat operation have already been laid out, and all the Japanese pilots have to do is to do what they have to do according to the established plan.

This was the first mistake since the battle between Okuichiro and Jiang Guangnai—the anti-aircraft firepower of the 12th Division far exceeded his expectations, which made the air raids that he expected to achieve great results have little effect. Kuramura Atsuhime wanted to faithfully carry out the task, complete the commission of Lieutenant General Okuichiro, and let the 12th Division completely lose the will to resist. However, after losing three fighters in succession and the bombing did not achieve the expected results, Kuramura Shaoza decisively gave up his command and let the pilots play freely, and as a result, this air battle formed an embarrassing result - the Japanese aircraft aviation rushed forward with great momentum and violent, but they were discouraged and returned in disappointment, and they simply failed to complete the minimum requirements that Okuichiro had for them - to destroy the artillery of the 12th Division.

Afterwards, when Ouyang Yun, Jiang Guangnai and others summed up the battle, they were surprised to find that if the Japanese air raid could completely destroy the artillery unit of the 12th Division, then the outcome of the battle might be rewritten.

More than 30 bombers did cause great casualties to the 12th Division, but they failed to destroy the artillery unit of the 12th Division as scheduled.

As a result, in the ensuing battle, the 12th Division did not collapse at the touch of a touch and had no resistance as Okuichiro expected, on the contrary - after the 12th Division destroyed a brigade of artillery belonging to the 9th Field Artillery Wing with an artillery counterattack, it used the extended artillery bombardment to open a passage and successfully implement the "breakthrough" - Okuichiro's siege of the 12th Division was originally a deception, and the troops who really participated in the siege were only one wing. However, how could a wing of more than 2,000 devils be the opponent of more than 10,000 officers and men of the 12th Division, so after the artillery was destroyed, the wing was completely unable to resist the counterattack of nearly 15,000 men of the 12th Division, which was led by the chariot unit, and after holding out for three hours, the 19th Wing, which had been defeated by three brigades, had no choice but to retreat.

And the successful breakthrough of the 12th Division indicates that the counterattack of the 4th Army has begun!

Summing up the battle afterwards, Okuichiro actually made only one mistake. No, perhaps it is most accurate to use the Japanese army to make only one mistake, that is, the strength of the Japanese Navy's Soryu fighter group has been exaggerated.

The advance bomber group led by Kura Atsuki Shaozo failed to cause fatal damage to the 12th Division, and second, the bomber group that took off later bombed the wrong target, and they attacked not the 10th Division, but the 11th Division.

The backwardness of the Japanese army in communications technology has become the biggest factor in the failure of this "cloud hunting plan." As a result, the 2nd Bomber Group, which had taken off from the "Canglong" aircraft carrier last time, took the 11th Division, which was fighting fiercely with the 36th Wing, as the 10th Division, and carried out a fierce bombardment, although it caused great casualties to the 10th Division, but it also allowed the rocket artillery unit of the 10th Division to avoid the greatest threat and thus give full play to it, and the might of the rocket artillery unit caused the 9th Division to lose its superiority over the 10th Division, thus causing the "Cloud Hunting Operation" of eventual bankruptcy.

The 12th Division has a total of 10 regiments, of which nine regiments are from Jiangsu. After the great cause of the military family, although no one deliberately distinguishes and distinguishes, the place of origin has become a hierarchical identity. Among them, the old team of the Cadet Army, the Cadet Soldier from North China, is the most superior, followed by the Cantonese Cadet, and then the hot-blooded young people from all over the country, followed by the Sichuan Army. As for the Jiangsu soldiers, because of their bad performance in the Battle of Nanjing, they became well-known soft egg soldiers and wretched soldiers, and were despised by other student soldiers - of course, this may only be the understanding of the Jiangsu officers and soldiers themselves.

Shame and courage, this sentence should be appropriate for the officers and soldiers of the 12th Division. Whether others realized it or not, Ouyang Yun was at least paying close attention to the growth of the Twelve Masters. Of course, the original intention of his concern was actually just that he was afraid that this fish belly army would drop the chain at a critical moment, but the 12th Division of the Twelfth Division made him awe-inspiring in the subsequent growth process, and he quickly put his mind at ease.

This depends on the division commander Liao Mingfeng.

Liao Mingfeng is a native of Taixing, Jiangsu, and is known as a talent in his hometown. Liao Mingfeng himself did not dislike this nickname, because he felt that this title corresponded to his knowledge, and behind this knowledge, it proved that his policy of managing the army was correct. Unlike most officers in this period, Liao Mingfeng liked to convince people with reason in terms of managing soldiers. Of course, when he was in the Jiangsu Security Command, for various reasons, his plan was difficult to implement, and it could only add to the jokes. Fortunately, he didn't give up because of this. And after joining the Cadet Army, he found that his plan worked.

The growth of the 12th Division is still very fast, from the first time when it participated in the performance, most items ranked first to the battle, in the regiment-level confrontation, two regiments squeezed into the top 20, one regiment squeezed into the top five, others may be indifferent to this, but Liao Mingfeng cried bitterly because of this and got drunk.

As far as the experience of Atsuhime Kuramura is concerned, there are few units of the Chinese Army that can ensure a complete establishment in the event of a large-scale bombardment, and thus be able to pose a threat to Japanese fighters in a real sense. It was precisely because they were accustomed to this kind of downwind bombing that when they faced the fierce anti-aircraft fire of the 12th Division, they lost three fighters at the beginning, which caused a depression in the morale of the entire bomber group.

Liao Mingfeng personally went to the front line to direct the air defense operation, and the arrival of this elegant division commander made the fighting spirit of the air defense soldiers who dared to confront the Japanese plane head-on even higher. Many people have this idea in their hearts: We can't let the division seat have an accident on their own gun position! His grandmother's, the teacher is not afraid of death, and Lao Tzu is still afraid of a ball!

The anti-aircraft artillery fire of the 12th Division was unprecedentedly fierce, and the Japanese bomber group returned in vain, which had already disrupted Okuichiro's plan.

This also became a turning point in the war.
