Chapter 1397 The bombing starts (in the middle)
This should be the first time in more than two years that a Japanese aircraft group had encountered such fierce surface-to-air defense firepower in more than two years.
However, the Zero fighter escorted is much smaller than the bomber, and has stronger maneuverability. He has basically no loss when passing through the white mist blown out by anti-aircraft gun grenades.
The Japanese air commander of the bomber formation is also very experienced. He knows that just escaping is no longer useful, and he must first reduce the load on the bomber. Only in this way can he quickly raise the altitude and leave the range of the anti-aircraft gun.
As for the bombing targets set earlier, it is no longer that important!
Aerial bombs were thrown from the belly of the bomber and landed inside and outside the mountain city. A few ignition lights flashed on the ground, which was as follows: at least 5,000 meters above the altitude.
It took 10 minutes to reach the heights and ground of the mountain city, and the sound of gunpowder and bomb explosions were endless.
The entire city is trembling in the high technology created by humans!
No matter how many anti-aircraft guns are, they cannot prevent the aircraft from dropping bombs and destroying the city. This is the most essential difference between defense warfare and attack warfare. One is passive and the other is active.
But the efforts of the defensive party are not useless. If they have a fierce and resolute counterattack, they will still leave terrible wounds on the enemy.
In 10 minutes, the Japanese aircraft group entering the mountain city area almost dropped dozens of tons of bombs and incendiary bombs, and even poisonous gas bombs. Regardless of whether the established tactical goals were achieved or not, the most important city in China below has already ignited a raging fire that can be clearly seen at a height of thousands of meters.
However, there are only 41 culprits who caused all this to leave the mountain city area safely!
Nine Japanese 97 detonators and their crew remained in the city they bombed forever. Four of them were directly hit by 40mm anti-aircraft guns, causing the volley to disintegrate, three of them struggled to travel more than ten kilometers due to damage, and the last two were forced to use forced landings.
Don't say that the Japanese pilot's technical level is really good. Half of the wing of a 97 detonator was cut off by shells, and there was a hole the size of a washbasin at the tail. In this way, the bomber even landed in a farmland 20 kilometers away from the mountain city.
Then, the Japanese Navy 4-person crew, who had just escaped from death, ushered in the darkest moment of their lives.
More than 200 Chinese mountaineering people surrounded them with shoulder poles, sickles and other simple weapons that Japanese pilots could not even call out, and they were surrounded by them.
In fact, if Japanese pilots are more decisive and smart, they immediately put down their weapons and surrender, perhaps their lives can be saved. After all, the government has long issued a reward order through governments at all levels to catch Japanese pilots. One person who lives can reward 200 for the ocean and the one who dies will be given 50 for the death!
Just like in the livestock market, live pigs are much more expensive than dead pigs, and the people are very sensitive to price differences.
How could a big guy like this be able to catch hundreds of oceans? The villagers of this mountain village who surrounded him thought to catch the Japanese pilot and share the money every household.
But how proud and conceited the pilots of the Imperial Japanese Navy were, especially when they saw a group of "barbarians" surrounding them, how could they get themselves into the hands of such a group of enemies and immediately shoot with pistols?
The villagers were caught off guard, and three people were beaten to death and four or five people were injured.
What kind of personality does Sichuan people have? It was cultivated by eating chili for generations. How explosive it was. When I saw that the "beast" who was going to exchange for money actually backfires.
"The dead can be exchanged for money. If you don't want to live, use their heads to pay tribute to our people." With the order of the village chief, the whole village's old and young immediately dispersed and surrounded the broken Japanese planes to death.
This mountain range belongs to the Wushan Mountains, which are beautiful in the mountains, but from the perspective of human survival, it is extremely bad. People who have been able to reproduce and live in such mountains for hundreds of years have long learned to fight against the cruel nature. How can they rely solely on simple shoulder poles, sickles, and hatchets?
Soon, four Japanese pilots who relied on broken fighter planes as bunkers were horrified to see that the "barbarians" who surrounded them more than 100 meters away brought a big gun from a distance...
Yes, that thing is carried by four strong men, and it can only be described as the order of magnitude of the "door".
It’s not a Japanese to blame for having little knowledge. That thing is not called a gun, but a cannon, because its caliber cliff is more than 20 mm, and its name is so simple---local cannon!
Perhaps it was to show its own earthy characteristics, and the barrel was made of it. There were 11 iron hoops on the barrel, which clearly indicated that the barrel was of worrying quality and its range was outrageously short. Chinese villagers kept moving it to a position less than 100 meters away from the plane before putting it on the ridge.
But none of the four Japanese could laugh, especially after they were ignited and shot the first shot.
The solid bullet triggered by black gunpowder easily penetrates the aircraft's fragile skin and the claimed solid aluminum alloy skeleton. A hole the size of a basketball shows that even if the cannon is so dirt that it can tear the aircraft's body to pieces.
The angry Chinese villagers did not move the artillery so close because of insufficient range. They wanted to ensure the hit rate. The effective range of the Southern Type 14 pistol worn by Japanese pilots would never exceed 70 meters.
As for the five 7.7MM machine guns originally equipped on the Type 97 heavy bomber were either on the nose, on the wing, or because of the impact of the emergency landing, it was 70 meters, which was the last distance that four Japanese pilots defended themselves proudly.
So, the four Japanese pilots could only watch in despair as the Chinese used this worst-quality weapon to destroy their last cover bit by bit and tear it to pieces.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the face of absolute numbers of people, the so-called high-end and advanced ones are nothing more than that.
But what is even more ironic is that what really destroys the final defense of the Japanese pilot is not the earth cannon that can only fire at most 15 shells, but the Chinese villagers holding torches and firewood.
The Chinese villagers are very clear that the local cannon alone cannot kill these hard-working Japanese people. The purpose of using this 100-year-old local cannon is to shock and attract the attention of the Japanese.
The real killer move is still human!
Taking advantage of the blind spots of the Japanese pilot hiding in the plane, several agile and flexible young men gradually approached the plane with firewood and torches on their backs, and then they lit the plane with a torch.
The four Japanese pilots trapped in the plane were like ants on a hot pan. In the end, they jumped out of the plane in the spirit of not being able to go out and not being able to go out.
However, it was useless, and there was no use for birds. The explosion formed after the useless aviation fuel was ignited. Even the Chinese villagers who were more than 100 meters away were injured, let alone the Japanese who were less than 10 meters away from the plane.
Three Japanese pilots were burned to death on the spot. A Japanese pilot who was lucky enough to die was shocked by the explosion was hung upside down by angry villagers on a big tree in the mountains. When the people from the township office arrived, they planned to get a living to the county to receive a reward, but found that the bloody Japanese pilot was already covered with creepy mountain ants.
Not to mention whether you can survive or not, I don’t know how much meat I have been eaten!
The other three burnt ones were not much better. Their heads were cut off and placed in front of three dead villagers. The headless corpses were taken away by the township office for rewards. For this reason, the villagers in the village would rather cost less than 20 oceans per body.
It is said that in the end, three heads were thrown into the edible tank for villagers to ferment manure. In the words of the elderly, these three Japanese devils must be suppressed forever and never be reborn.
Several years later, the descendants of three Japanese pilots found the village based on clues, hoping to use money to retrieve the three lost heads in China, with a price of up to one million yuan. The villagers also held a village collective meeting for this.
A 70-year-old man just pointed to the hillside opposite the village and said: "Your uncle, grandpa, uncle, just agree, that's fine."
The young villagers who shouted the most fiercely immediately became timid and dared not mention this matter again. Three people died in the village at that time, but there were 50 men in the village. Finally, the only one who returned to the village 13 years later was the elderly.
His cousins all died in battle! All the 76 households in the village were hung with white banners!
Another Japanese bomber chose to force a landing on a simple highway, and their lives were obviously better than their colleagues, because the location they chose was simply amazing, just where the observation checkpoint of an air defense regiment was located.
The checkpoint had 8 soldiers. He looked at the Japanese bomber in disbelief and landed on a dirt road that was only 1,000 meters away from his checkpoint.
The Chinese soldiers holding rifles approached the plane carefully and found that the four Japanese pilots in the 97 bomber with a roughly complete structure were already three dead and one injured. The two should have been killed by shrapnel in the air. One died of the huge impact force when the plane landed in a crash. What was the head wearing a flying cap like? It was like a ripe watermelon was punched twice again.
At that moment, the soldiers felt that it was better to be the army, and at least they were equipped with a steel helmet. Look at these flying people, wearing leather hats is not only good at looking, but also a basic domineering thing.
Even if the Chinese soldiers were injured, they had no choice but to do so. As for their gang of soldiers, the level of killing people is not high, and the level of saving people is almost nothing.
What's more, a nearly complete Japanese plane must not be valuable than the Japanese? The eight soldiers made an extremely wise choice at that time, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, and threw the four Japanese into the fields, each of them picked up the guys and cut branches in the mountains, and disguised the plane first.
It was such a simple disguise that made the Zero fighter jet that flew past 2,000 meters to find his colleagues missed it, and also lost the last chance to destroy the Type 97 bomber.
In the end, the Japanese bomber was not only thoroughly studied by engineers sent by the Americans, but was also repaired by the Chinese side and put into active service, and participated in the bombing of the Jianghan Airport occupied by the Japanese army.
But for the Japanese aircraft group that poured bombs under the dense ground anti-aircraft artillery fire, their losses were not just these nine bombers, their disaster had just begun.
At the moment when the air raid sirens sounded, Chinese pilots from a total of 4 flight brigades located in a total of 6 airports in Shancheng and Chuan Province were already running on the fighter plane.
96 Wildcat fighters and 32 I-15 and I-16 fighters continued to fly into the south sky.
Their mission is not to block the Japanese aircraft group from entering the sky above the mountain city, but to intercept the Japanese aircraft group on its way back.
This tactic was developed by Tang Dao and Zheng Shaoyu, the captain of the 4th Flying Brigade, continuously practicing and computing during the 10-day training interval.
Although the two did not want to face this cruel fact, they had to admit in the end that in the battle over Yiling, the 3:0 record of six fighters against the Zero fighter was more lucky than their strength.
Shen Chonghai, Zhang Dafei, Lin Heng and other six people were already the best pilots in China at that time. With the targeted tactics formulated by the raid and Tang Dao for them and the situation of fighting less, it was still extremely difficult, and even almost lost Shen Chonghai, the ace pilot.
If the number is expanded to 100, even if they can be equal to the other party, they will actually lose.
Because in order not to stimulate the Japanese again, the Mid has stated that it will not provide complete fighter jets in the short term. China will lose one less, and Japan, which has a complete military-industrial system, will continue to invest fighter jets.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, they not only want to make the Japanese heartbroken, but also try their best to preserve their strength to meet more challenges.
Therefore, the interception operation named "Sunset" was destined to sacrifice before the fighter jets took off.
The artillery fire of Yama Castle counterattack was the first wave of consumption of the Japanese escort aircraft group and bomber group, which not only consumed the number of Japanese aircraft, but also the spirit of Japanese pilots.
After all, if you want to rush out of the barrage, the highly nervous brain nerves will not be able to recover soon, but the Chinese pilots responsible for the ambush airspace are waiting for their work.
But the ones that were to be sacrificed were not just the burning cities, but also fighter jets and pilots. The 32 Iranian series fighter jets ordered to take off were bait, inducing Japanese escort aircraft groups to pursue them, and only the wildcat fighter jet groups that hovered in higher altitudes would dive down to attack the Japanese bomber groups.
Although every Iraqi fighter pilot was clearly informed before the war that they only needed to lure the Japanese escort fleet away and try to get entangled, rather than fighting with them in the air, when the fighter was injured by the inability to return, they had to parachute immediately without considering the supplementary issues of the fighter, Zheng Shaoyu, who looked at the firm face of his pilot, knew very well that these young faces were likely to never return!
Because the Japanese bombers are not soft persimmons that can be kneaded by others. The several self-defense machine guns they equipped are destined to be hedgehogs that explode at that moment, and it will take enough time to win the last chance for themselves.
And during this period, how many people can the Iranian series fighter jets that have completely lagged behind the Zero fighter jets until after the war?
Zheng Shaoyu, who personally formulated all this, could not predict the ending, but Tang Dao knew that China was beaten 0 to 24 in the air battle between Bishan and Space in time and space!
Before the battle between the lion and the tiger, there is a moth to the flame!
The so-called "sunset" shot down not only the scarlet sun flag, but also the glory of falling.
Shooting down the sunset is glory, falling, and even more glorious!
Zheng Shaoyu was appointed as the first air commander by the Air Force Command, and personally led 48 wildcat fighters and 24 Yi series fighters to hover at an altitude of 6,000 meters above Bishan. In the direction of Guangyuan, Huang Xinrui, the captain of the 3rd Flight Brigade, led 48 wildcat fighters and 8 Yi series fighters to hover over Jianmen Mountain.
Captain Saburo Mitsuto led 22 Zero fighters and escorted 25 bombers back at high speed along the route when he came!
Captain Saburo Mushifumi's face looked ugly. In the fierce artillery fire, only one Zero fighter jet was injured and ordered to leave the formation and return early. This loss is still acceptable, but the escorted bomber formation suffered as much as 5 losses.
This huge loss has exceeded the sum of the past year.
A bombing operation that was devoted to both sides ended with a loss, which was unexpected by the Japanese Navy Air Force, who were determined to take revenge.
It would be great if Chinese fighter jets could come to intercept at this time, so that he could find some balance for the lost five bombers.
Captain Saburo Mushit looked at the green mountain under the wings, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Then he heard the shouts from the radio.
"Enemy attack!"
Looking up, at least 20 biplane fighters roared and dived from a height of 4,000 meters, heading straight for the group of aircraft.
"Chinese people, die!" Saburo Mushito was full of murderous intent and shot the rudder.
"Imperial warriors, follow me to kill the enemy. This battle will surely crush the Chinese people's last air resistance in one fell swoop!"
24VS24, the first air battle of Bishan, which is famous in later generations, is activated!
