Although the Japanese army even made dozens of tons of food in the fight for Chinese airdrop materials, they were mixed with poisonous things. They didn't dare to eat them with confidence and boldness. They had to find a place to store them. They also lost 200 people and consumed a lot of medicines for this.

It can be considered a big loss. What kind of Japanese people who like to calculate the most are willing to suffer this loss?

If this is not possible, then find some make up for it from other aspects.

Although the Japanese army basically lost air supremacy, under Tian Junjiu's strict order, the 5th Air Corps, which had supplemented dozens of fighter jets and bombers from the Kwantung Army, started the work again.

The Japanese army has basically figured out the rules of the dispatch of air force fighter jets between China and the United States, especially those of the United States, which basically appear in the sky at 9:00 in the morning and 5:00 in the evening.

It is impossible to fight, so the Japanese army started to take a detour. You will come until eight or nine o'clock, so I will arrive before eight o'clock.

Early in the morning of June 30, the sun had just emerged, and a large group of Japanese troops came to the air in a large number of darkness. They first bombed Hengyang City, then flew to the south of the city, and dived and bombed the high ground in turn.

The Four-Ring Regiment Air Defense Battalion, which had been hidden but had not been released, finally got its place to work!

As early as the moment when the anti-aircraft alarm was sounded in Hengyang City, Cheng Tiexou ordered the anti-aircraft gun squads hidden in the artificial caves around Yanhui Peak to pull the 40mm anti-aircraft guns, the quadruple 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the specially strengthened 20mm machine guns to the gun position.

Since the war in Hengyang was ignited on June 1, the air defense battalion has not fired a single shot or an ammunition, except for occasionally using 20mm machine guns to support the front line, neither the Bofos 40mm anti-aircraft gun nor the quadruple heavy machine gun.

In Tang Dao's words: "The battlefield is not a gambling table, but if you want to win, you must not only fight for the spirit of death, but also for wisdom and patience. A good trump card may not be enough to win the final victory, but it may also become an important cornerstone of victory."

Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers of the air defense battalion were patient and watched the enemy and us fight in blood in the sky without any help. Fortunately, the Chinese Air Force gradually gained the upper hand, otherwise this would be an extremely painful psychological torment for the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment who attach great importance to friendly forces.

This snin lasted for a whole month, until this day, the Japanese army used a total of 24 Zero fighters and 12 97 bombers to play a time difference to bomb Hengyang and the south of the city.

As an old opponent, Yokoyama Yong actually knew that the Four Army Regiment had anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns. From the military orders he issued to each division, there were at least ten times mentioned, "Be sure to be vigilant about China's local air defense. If you find its traces, you can do your best to destroy them!", you can know how deep the shadow of Yokoyama Yong's defeat in the battle of Shipai was.

But whether it is Yokoyama, the Fifth Air Force, or the 116th Division in the south of the city, after a month of hard battles, he has never seen the appearance of Chinese local air equipment, and subconsciously he has finally forgotten this terrible force that has caused them huge damage.

There is an old Chinese saying that "If the scar is healed, it will forget to hurt", which refers to this psychological state!

The Fifth Air Corps has actually taken most of the details into consideration. They considered the fastest dispatch time of Chinese fighter jets, and also considered how many fighter jets China sent to participate in the war at one time, and also considered why Chinese fighter jets arrived at the battlefield in time for many consecutive times. It must have been that China deployed an observation station along the way and issued a warning.

So this time, the fleet departing from Jiangxia Airport set off at 6 o'clock, deliberately circled a large circle, flew at least 300 kilometers more, and maintained an altitude of 5,000 meters. It successfully avoided the three early warning points deployed by the 10th Army in the mountains at a 100-kilometer outside Hengyang City.

The Major General's Legion Commander was so meticulous? In order to ensure that this round of bombing was foolproof, he even considered the terrible "Legend" and did not let the "Tiansha Lone Star" Grandma Sasaki go to the battle in case of unluckyness.

This was also considered one of the wisest choices in all the deployments made by the Major General Legion Commander after the war!

But only the Fifth Air Corps ignored the powerful ground-to-air force of the Four Lines.

In fact, no one could have thought that someone would be such a turtle. Both sides had been fighting for a month, and there were scenes of flesh and blood flying everywhere in the sky and underground, and there was something hidden in it.

Then, this strange thing was encountered by the Japanese.

Hengyang City is actually not the focus of Japanese bombing. The focus of the bombing of Japanese aircraft groups is the position in the south of the city.

Therefore, the incendiary bombs dropped in Hengyang City are basically mounted under the wings of the Zero fighter jets. Most of the 12 bombers carry 500-pound bombs, which were specially prepared for the Chinese positions in the south of the city.

20 of the 24 Zero fighters hovered in the 2500-meter airspace to alert the bomber group, and only 4 Zero fighters dived into low altitude with 12 bombers, dropping bombs on the target.

Such deployments indicate that all Japanese aircraft's vigilance focuses on the air rather than on the ground.

Cheng Tiexue on the ground looked at the Zero fighter group that was still hovering in the sky through the telescope, and a trace of hideousness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since the dog god doesn’t take our ground seriously, let’s let you dog god feel what it is like to suddenly get rid of the chrysanthemum?

Although Cheng Heiban, who has been promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel, has still had a hot temper sometimes, but after seven years of war experience, he has already trained this 33-year-old middle-aged man into a real piece of steel.

He was calm and almost cruel!

Even though he watched the Japanese bombers shaking their wings and dropping bombs, blowing Zhangjiashan, Tiger-shaped Nest and other Chinese positions into a sea of ​​fire, he was still unmoved and did not issue an attack order in the walkie-talkie.

"Battery Commander, start the fire! Damn it, rushed towards Huangchaling!"

"Yes! The power of the 500-pound bomb explosion is too terrible. You can't let the Japanese do this..."

An anxious request from the company commanders came from the walkie-talkie.

In their telescope view, the flames raised by the bombs dropped by the Japanese plane were more than 40 meters high. You can imagine what kind of hell situation is on the ground!

"Shut up!" Cheng Tiexou roared coldly, and the communication channel suddenly became quiet, with only the dull explosion rumbling.

Cheng Tieshou was still waiting. The height of the Japanese Type 97 bomber was still a little high, 1,000 meters. At such an altitude, it could easily escape the range of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

The airtight firepower net carefully deployed on 12 positions, which was carefully woven into 36 quadruple 12.7mm heavy machine guns, which will be woven at a low altitude of 600 to 1,000 meters, will be more deadly than the 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns for the 12 Japanese bombers entering low altitudes.

As the battalion commander of the air defense battalion, Cheng Tiexou did not lead his troops to participate in the war, but it does not mean that he has been having fun these 30 days.

This army lieutenant colonel, who can rank steadily in the top ten in the Four Regiment's combat experience and command capabilities, observes the air every day. He finds that the number of bombers deployed by the Japanese army is decreasing, and then one day it will increase again, but never exceeds 20.

This means that the Japanese's war potential has long been weakened. At least for Japan Airlines in China, supplementation will never be as expensive as it is consumed. The sudden increase means that it has just been replenished, and the replenishment cycle is getting longer and longer.

For example, the 12 bombers dispatched by the Japanese army today should have appeared on the battlefield the most in the past half month, which means that this is another supplement obtained by the Japanese army.

As long as these 12 bombers can be shot down at one time, the Japanese will not expect that more bombers will arrive on the battlefield within a period of at least 10 days. This will be of great importance to the entire battle situation in Hengyang.

Cheng Tieshou's judgment was quite accurate. These 12 97 bombers were supported by the Kwantung Army for the sake of the base camp. Otherwise, in terms of level, the Kwantung Army directly under the base camp also belonged to the front army and could not defeat the Chinese dispatched army at all.

If these 12 bombers were beaten down, even if Tian Junliu was shameless, he would be embarrassed to ask the Kwantung Army for help. He would transfer planes from Japan. Judging from the current strategic focus on Japan's national strength, the current strategic focus is on the Pacific and Southeast Asian battlefields, I don't know what year of the monkey and horse month to go.

Tang Dao's patience and Cheng Tiexhuo's tenacity in the last moment will eventually achieve fruitful results. From the strategic significance of the defense battle against Hengyang, it is much larger than shooting down 12 bombers itself.

Because, since June 30, no matter how the battle in Hengyang flew across the flesh and blood, like hell on earth, no bomber appeared in the sky of Hengyang.

"Yoxi! After this battle, the 11th Army should be much more relaxed!" A Japanese Army Major in the air felt the slight vibration of the plane and the black smoke rising from the belly of the plane, and involuntarily smiled.

As the leader of the 6th Flying Regiment under the 5th Air Corps, Major Shiro Yamashita actually has a very glorious past.

This Japanese Army Major was actually a naval aviation company before, and he had a record of shooting down five Chinese fighter jets. He was an ace pilot, but his luck was really bad. During the Battle of Jinling, he was a lieutenant of the Navy Aviation Company at that time, and he was surrounded and intercepted by the most luxurious lineup of the Chinese Air Force at that time.

Three of the four aces of the Chinese Air Force attacked together and fought fiercely over the Zijin Mountain with the elite formation led by Shiro Yamashita. It is conceivable that the helplessness of the Japanese Navy aviation lieutenant was at that time. If nothing unexpected happened, the fighter plane was damaged and had to make a forcibly landed outside Jinling, and was captured by the defenders.

When Jinling retreated, the unlucky child was taken all the way to Jiangxia and then to Shancheng. He squatted for a full six years. It was not until last year that the Japanese side exchanged for a lot of money and captured Chinese pilots and intelligence personnel.

The Navy Aviation Corps could not go back, so Yamashita Shiro could only stay in the Chinese dispatched army and was promoted to major and served as the commander of a flight regiment of the newly established 5th Air Corps.

Only six years have passed, and Major Shiro Yamashita, who returned to the blue sky, was surprised to find that the Chinese Air Force is no longer Wuxia Amon, and the performance of the fighter jets equipped is completely above the empire. Not to mention that he wanted to shoot down five aircraft like before, even one aircraft would be extremely difficult.

After spending half a year, the former Japanese Navy Aviation ace pilot finally accepted the reality and became a flight combat commander honestly, instead of having only one ace pilot’s dream.

But today's fairly smooth bombing made the Japanese Army's grandson, who had a lot of ambitions, rekindled his fighting spirit.

"All fighter planes, follow me to clear obstacles to advance for the Imperial infantry!" The Japanese Army Air Force Major, who was constantly secreting dopamine in his head, was obviously excited. After issuing a military order, he pushed the rudder and pushed the nose of his Zero fighter down to a low altitude of 600 meters.

He planned to use 6 heavy machine guns loaded on the 97 bomber's wing and nose to strafuse the Chinese position. Only in this way can he live up to the expectations of the Legion Commander.

The dense rain of bullets from 12 97 bombers will surely sweep the Chinese soldiers in the trenches who escaped the bombing of the bombs so hard that they could fly across the flesh and blood.

This will not change even after several years.

The Japanese ace pilot who had been in a Chinese cell for nearly 6 years was obviously back in his past glory under the stimulation of victory.

The commander had spoken, how dare the bomber group not obeyed the command?

So bombers lowered their heads and entered the battlefield from the northeast, roaring into a low altitude of 600 meters, preparing to shoot at the Chinese positions that were still covered by smoke.

If the ambitious Shiro Yamashita could see those "stick-like objects" that were already hungry through the jungle, he would definitely regret his impulsive behavior.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was like a group of young women breaking into the gathering place of a group of bachelors who had been holding on the deserted island for more than ten years. Their hairs were all standing at attention, which was no longer enough to describe the inner feelings of the Japanese pilots when the ground fire was fully opened.

To use the only skydiving captured Lieutenant San Yamamoto said: At that moment, I felt that all my blood had solidified and I didn’t know how to control the fighter plane.

In fact, facing such a huge air-fire position with three quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns every 400 meters, no matter how skillful the control is, it is hard to escape the bad luck of being hit.

That was almost equivalent to the volley of 108 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, but this was not the final form of the firepower net laid out by the Air Defense Battalion of the Four Lines Regiment.

There are also 24 20mm anti-aircraft guns that have been sealed and have a strong blow!

The 20mm anti-aircraft gun was too heavy, and the firepower output, transportation and labor cost were too high, so it was abandoned by the Sihang Group. However, this battle in Hengyang was too dangerous. Tang Dao finally chose to transport this batch of machine guns sealed and left on the battlefield in North China to Hengshan half a year ago.

This thing is the equipment started by the Four-Road Air Defense Battalion. The veterans are all very skillful in controlling it. As long as three veterans are gunners and more than a dozen new recruits, they can immediately form a machine gun squad with sufficient combat effectiveness after training for three months!

All the 24 20mm machine guns used were flowering bullets, blocking the airspace of 1,000 to 1,800 meters. Whenever Japanese aircraft fled into this airspace from a low altitude of less than 1,000 meters, they belonged to their prey.

And above an altitude of 1,800 meters, it naturally belongs to the world of 40mm anti-aircraft guns!

However, these 12 40mm Bofos mountain guns mainly deal with 12 Japanese bombers and 4 Zero fighters that have entered low altitude, but 20 Zero fighters that are hovering and alert at high altitude.

Its function is not to completely shoot them down, but to drive them away, driving these small, more flexible fighter jets out of this airspace.

After all, if 20 Zero fighters rush down to low altitude and fire at machine guns, the fully exposed anti-aircraft gun positions will also pay the price.

Sure enough, when the anti-aircraft machine gun position below opened fire violently, the 16 Japanese fighter jets entering the low altitude were stunned, and the white fog that suddenly bloomed in the sky also stunned the 20 Zero fighter jets.

The Chinese anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns are also powerful!

The Japanese high-altitude aircraft group instinctively scattered birds and beasts, accelerating to higher altitudes and breaking away from the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery area at high speed.

This is also the quality that any excellent pilot should possess. How can you consider the group without saving yourself first?

The control level of the Japanese pilots was indeed amazing. The 12 40mm anti-aircraft cannons that could almost dominate the altitude of 3,000 meters were shot and fired at least 800 shells, only shooting down one and injured one. Most Japanese planes safely escaped the airspace full of shrapnel.

But the Japanese aircraft group that entered the low altitude was not so lucky.

Yamashita Shiro, the air commander, was the first to be hit, and mainly Zero fighter flew the fastest, so his leading fighter was targeted by at least three positions, which were 9 quadruple 12.7mm machine guns.

The bombs erupted towards the Zero fighter that was swooping down at a high speed instantly, which was enough to form a barrage.

Yamashita Shiro unfortunately bumped into this barrage!

The 12.7mm thick warhead effortlessly tear opens the fragile aluminum alloy body of the Zero fighter, and penetrates it into holes the size of eggs.

Not only the nose wing, but several rounds even passed through the belly of the machine and went straight to the cockpit, one of which hit Yamashita Shizuro's right leg.
