Captain Sasaki is not the highest commander of the 48 fighter jets that went on this expedition this time!

It’s not that his ability is insufficient, but that his military rank is too low to become a commander at the level of an aviation brigade.

So, Captain Sasaki directly commanded a squadron!

However, before going to the battle, Major Takumakura, who served as the highest commander in the air, found Sasaki specifically and asked him for advice.

There is no way. Since the last time the warplane group in Southeast Jin was ambushed by the Chinese ground fire, the Japanese North China Front Air Corps has realized one thing. Whether they are willing or not, it is already a fact that it is true that the Chinese have certain air defense capabilities.

The sky is no longer just an amusement park where Empire fighters can run wildly without restraint. Danger will come at no time.

A pilot who killed countless teammates in battle after no less than ten times but still returned intact even though he was shrouded in the so-called "Tiansha Lone Star" halo, he still had enough life-saving experience.

"The battlefield I have experienced, the enemy has machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and there are a large number, with an attack radius of no less than three kilometers!" Sasaki told his boss cautiously and frankly after thinking.

"If you want to reduce the losses, my personal advice is that after arriving in the war zone, all fighter jets can drop bombs at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it must not be lowered below 1,500 meters."

If it were someone else, especially after having a huge number of 48 fighter jets, I would definitely sneer at Sasaki's suggestion that he was timid and afraid of death!

But this Takumakura Takuma is a very cautious person and likes to study battle examples. The battle examples with slightly greater losses on the battlefield in North China this year have been the focus of his learning.

"The failure to maintain sufficient height is the main reason for the heavy losses of the fighter fleet!" The conclusion he came to was in line with Sasaki's suggestions.

So, 20 minutes later, the Chinese and Japanese infantrymen at Niangzi Pass saw a strange scene that they would never forget for life.

The Japanese aircraft group composed of 48 Japanese fighter jets does not cover the sky, but the sound of aircraft engines that resound through the sky and the ground is enough to shock everyone's hearts.

Even Tang Dao, who was mentally prepared enough, did not expect that the Japanese North China Front Army would make such a big move and launch so many fighter jets at once.

Tang Dao, who had a serious face, was even prepared to welcome the major sacrifice at that time!

Unlike the navy, especially on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army is not equipped with many professional bombers. The so-called air support is actually more of the 1996 fighter jets that directly carry aviation bombs, and then fire at the ground with machine guns after dropping the bomb.

To be honest, compared with the European battlefield wars that are about to break out in the future, both sides often invest hundreds of bombers and drop tens of tons of bombs on their opponents' heads, the tactical support of the Japanese is to play house for children.

However, although the Type 96 fighter is carrying an average amount of ammunition, a fighter can carry at least 800 pounds of bombs and 48 fighter jets, that is, the bomb volume is nearly 40,000 pounds.

Once these things are accurately thrown on your head, there will be heavy casualties!

But to the surprise of the Japanese who were still cheering on the ground and the silent Chinese, they were almost at the Niangziguan area, and the Japanese army fleet in the sky had no intention of diving and dropping bombs.

"Baga! What is the aviation team doing?" Yin Tangshu'er held the telescope and watched the leading Japanese planes passing through the main battlefield but not lowered the height at all. He couldn't help but complain.

"Damn it! What are these dog gods playing?" Cheng Tiexue, who had already sat on the seat of a Sulutong double-equipped anti-aircraft gun, also gritted his teeth and scolded.

The Japanese aircraft group in the sky is almost maintained at an altitude of 2,500 meters. Not to mention that the 24 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns cannot reach it, even the 20mm anti-aircraft gun in his hand is difficult to get close to the Japanese aircraft.

But the air defense company commander, who had been through the battle formation, was still calm enough. While holding a telescope, he continued to stare at the small black dots that were about to pass through his head, and ordered: "All orders are ordered, and no attacks are allowed without my signal! In addition, except for the main and deputy shooters holding their positions, all the rest of the personnel were withdrawn into the fortifications! I think the Japanese are prepared this time!"

It seemed as if the Master Takumakura in the sky sensed the doubts of his colleagues and opponents on the ground, and picked up the radio and ordered: "You guys, freely drop bombs! Also, please be careful, no one should lower the height at will! After the bombs are dropped, you can return! Understand?"

"Hi!" The Japanese pilots' orders were received from the radio communicator.

Sasaki felt relieved. If nothing unexpected happened, his situation would be completely changed today whenever he went out to play.

Although the altitude of 2500 meters, although for a non-professional bomber, whether the bomb drop is accurate or not has become a joke, it can ensure safety. Unless the opponent is equipped with the 88mm D-powered anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns that have been used on the Southeast battlefield, if there is, it can only be said to be unlucky.

So, as the Japanese fleet flew past at high speed, bombs of all sizes were thrown down in the air.

In an instant, the earth shook!

The mountains around the main position of Niangziguan were bombarded by aviation bombs, and mass of gunpowder smoke rose!

The Japanese infantrymen stopped cheering now, and they all fell into the trenches in cold sweat! Including Yin Tangxiu, who was still complaining about his teammates of the Air Team.

The reason is very simple. The accuracy of the bomb dropping at an altitude of 2,500 meters is really bad!

Although the Japanese aircraft fleet also took into account the problem of ground troops and dropped bombs specifically into the mountains, most of the bombs did not fall on positions built on the mountainous land, but fell on the tops and valleys within the defense line.

But, it is difficult to keep your hands slipping!

A 250-pound bomb was just thrown at the foot of the mountain, only 300 meters away from the Japanese trenches!

The power of this large bomb is really great. Even though it is hundreds of meters away, shrapnel and the blown stones are hit by the 89 tanks that are roaring in front of the trenches, the terrifying air waves that swept through everything even overturned a little Douding!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The Japanese infantry cheered for the "big fools" in the sky. Aren't they just stupid?

This is a perfect situation to flatten both sides of the enemy and us!

On the ground, I don’t know how many Japanese infantrymen were constantly having sex with female close relatives of Japanese pilots in the sky.

On the other side of the Four-Road Regiment's position, except for three infantry battalions, all hiding in the trenches, the rest of the units, such as the medical company, artillery battalion, and logistics battalion, were either hiding in the mountains covered by dense forests or camouflage nets. From a high altitude, it was almost impossible to distinguish.

The bombing formation composed of 48 Japanese aircraft is actually an indiscriminate Xia Jiba bombing, which depends on luck and probability.

To the words of Master Takumakura: As long as we drop enough bombs, we can kill some Chinese people no matter what, why don’t we support the infantry?

This logic is very valid!

In fact, if the four teams of the regiment had not been fully prepared, the trenches would have been avoided at the most time, and the battlefield was also widely distributed, and the medical and nursing company alone would have been divided into several places. Otherwise, the 40,000-pound bomb would have been lost on its head, and hundreds of casualties would have been light.

But even so, more than 40 casualties were reported after the war!

The killing range of the 500-pound bomb was too large. Although a bomb did not hit the trenches of the baggage battalion head-on, it exploded on the edge of the forest where 200 pack horses were hidden.

The huge air wave rolled over a dozen pack horses on the edge and killed them, but also shocked the remaining pack horses!

Hundreds of pack horses rushed out of the woods and ran wildly on the mountain road. In order to stop these precious pack horses, the baggage soldiers who were reluctant to shoot and kill the scared horses paid the price of five deaths and thirteen serious injuries.

Among them, three disabled veterans who served as squad leader were directly trampled to death by shocked horses.

Tang Dao, who received the casualties report, was furious and angrily scolded Zhuang Shisan, who was the battalion commander of the baggage battalion and the baggage company commander at the evening battlefield summary meeting.

That was the first time that Zhuang Shisan had been criticized by Tang Dao for being unwilling to give him face since he served as the head of the Sixing Camp.

"I have told you a long time ago that no matter what equipment is, no matter how important it is, no one is important! If the pack horse is gone, we can buy it again, but if the person is gone, the person will never come back. If we want to see them again, we can only touch his tombstone in the Martyrs Cemetery!

Yes, in the face of the Japanese invaders' pressing, our four-way group can sacrifice without hesitation. From me and you here to the cows and horses of our group, no one can sacrifice, but this does not mean that we can sacrifice for nothing. Especially for such sacrifice!

My brothers, I have to support my parents for 18 years! You battalion commanders and company commanders, let me go back and think about it carefully!

After the war, if you think clearly, I would like to talk to me about my thoughts at the regiment headquarters meeting. If I still can’t figure it out, then stay in the company for a month and follow my own military service. Don’t be an official for a long time, and forget how I lived before." Tang Dao was angry, and even Dan Tai Mingyue did not dare to stop him.

Only the people closest to Tang Dao knew the best where his anger came from. The three disabled veterans who were trampled by the frightened horses were all soldiers who followed him out of the siege from the Sihang Warehouse. They did not die on the battlefield against Japan, but because they were reluctant to kill the frightened horses, they chose to use their flesh and blood to stop them.

They were loyal and dedicated, but as their commanders, it was difficult for Tang Dao to accept that they died in this way!

Even if time goes back, these soldiers will still make the same choice.

Because, I'm used to being poor.

There are no bullets, no food and drinks, which is their daily life.

And that is more than 100 pack horses! In normal times, thousands or even tens of thousands of oceans are needed to buy them. In this kind of war, their baggage arrangement is responsible for transporting ammunition and feeding supplies to several highlands, which all require the help of pack horses.

The 48 Japanese plane formation stayed at a high altitude, causing 18 deaths and 25 injuries to the Four Lines.

But at the same time, it also caused 12 casualties to the 21st Division.

The nine people were injured by rocks blown away by bombs that were too close to fall into the trench. Three unlucky guys were injured in the overturned Xiaoding tank, and the Xiaoding tank was also damaged and withdrawn from the battle.

When I left, I came with my head held high, and when I returned, more than 20 Japanese infantry pushed them back hard. Let’s not talk about the unlucky nature.

But if you think that the Japanese aircraft formation, a typical seven-injury boxing that hurts others and yourself, is a big mistake. They don’t even let them go.

In fact, Captain Sasaki's "Tiansha Lonely Star" is so powerful that it is absolutely powerful.

The bombing order of the Japanese aircraft formation is like this: two squadrons are in groups, taking turns to bomb! One wave of bombing is blown over, and then the fighter aircraft formation returns from the other side of the battlefield. Observing through the telescope, seeing that it is not covered by gunpowder, the second group of two squadrons are allowed to drop bombs and bomb again.

In other words, strive for full coverage without revealing blind spots!

Since Japanese planes are at high altitudes, without receiving the first fire order from Cheng Tie, all air defense positions are basically unable to retreat.

Exceeding the range of anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, firing not only loses its meaning, but also reveals its strength. The temporary tolerance is to beat the opponent more fiercely and violently in the future. Cheng Tiexou's calm enough dealings are actually very correct, and he was also recognized by Tang Dao after the war.

But, there are still people who make mistakes in their busy schedules!

A 30-pound bomb exploded less than 50 meters away from a 20mm machine gun. A shrapnel hit the main shooter's leg. Under the painful reaction, the main shooter suddenly stepped on the launch pedal.

The machine gun position was already ready for battle, the bullet board was inserted, and the security had already been opened, and a series of four shells were shot into the air.

Because the main combat responsibility of the air defense company is air defense, all 20mm anti-aircraft guns are equipped with flowering bullets!

Four shells broke through the sky and were detonated at an altitude of about 2,300 meters!

It happened that a Japanese plane had just dropped a 500-pound bomb under his belly. The entire body lightened and jumped up by at least thirty meters. The distance between the four groups of smoke was only 100 meters from the Japanese plane.

Although the pilot who controlled this Japanese plane was not a rookie and had at least several air support missions, he was transferred by another aviation brigade. Captain Sasaki's reputation as "Tiansha Lonely Star" has always made him afraid.

In the future, it is: I grew up listening to Captain Sasaki's legend.

To put it bluntly, since he took the fight with Captain Sasaki to go to war, his heart has been hanging. After finally relaxing, the Chinese anti-aircraft shells came. Who would have been calm?

He stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the fighter shot out like an arrow!

Don’t get me wrong. Although the size of the Japanese aircraft formation is not small, the interval between a single aircraft is more than hundreds of meters. There will never be an airplane collision incident just because of one acceleration!

But this kind of interval does not mean that all fighter jets are on the same level. Maintaining a height of 2,500 meters is only a standard height, floating up and down by 2-300 meters, and the height difference between the groups of fighter jets is one or two hundred meters, which is normal.

The nervous Japanese pilot who was sweating on his forehead instinctively pulled the bullet-drop gate, and his psychological reaction was to quickly finish the bomb drop and leave the battlefield.

But he forgot that there was a fighter jet group below him looking for areas to drop bombs!

So, two bombs mounted on the wings of the 96th Fighter were dropped as the wings shook, and one of the 30-pound bombs swayed and thrust on a Japanese plane 200 meters below.
