Chapter 1507 All successful people need to pay a price!(2/2)
Before he could feel the pain, a blood mist exploded in the cockpit. It was not until this time that Shiro Yamashita found that his right leg was already bloody and fuzzy.
The heart-wrenching howl just now, another warhead passed through the fuselage and shot into the right rib of the unlucky child, and then left a blood hole the size of a bowl on the body of the commander Shiro Yamashita and then penetrated the fragile fuselage.
The wind rushes from the gap to the Japanese air commander who is already a little blurred due to extreme pain, which makes Yamashita Shiro wake up at that moment.
Looking down unwillingly, the thick smoke of gunpowder was filled with brilliant fire.
That's a scene where many anti-aircraft machine guns are shooting at the same time!
"Remove..." Yamamoto Shiro, who still did not forget his commander's duties at the last moment of his life, shouted the last word in his life and lowered his head dejectedly.
The Zero fighter that lost control was like a flying bird with a folded wing. It suddenly turned around and hit the hillside on the back of Zhangjiashan. The shock caused by the huge explosion made the Chinese officers and soldiers who were still hiding in the tunnel to avoid bombing scare the balls.
Don't you have to rely on your life to avoid bombs?
But Grandpa Shiro Yamashita is definitely not the only victim of this plane-to-air ambush battle. The Zero fighter has a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, not to mention the Type 97 bomber with a speed of only 400 kilometers per hour.
In the face of crazy rain of bullets, the three Zero fighters could still move at high speed like sparrows in the net and struggled desperately. The 12 97 bombers were like staggering old ladies. In addition to taking damage, their only choice was to pull up and accelerate upwards.
But obviously, that can only be beaten passively!
If it weren't for the huge and powerful bomber of the Type 97, it would have been a long time since it was a fight, but those who have been passively beaten will eventually be defeated.
Eight of the 12 bombers finally fled to a height of 1,200 meters after being beaten up, but they were greeted by barrage composed of 20mm machine guns.
The bomber, which had already begun to smoke attenuate the speed, could not hold back any longer. Three more aircraft were shot down on the spot. The other five aircraft were emitting thick smoke and finally escaped the range of the 20mm anti-aircraft gun, but unfortunately they were beaten by 40mm anti-aircraft guns that were firing up to 6,000 meters.
Finally, only two of the 12 97 bombers escaped successfully! They flew 30 kilometers in the air in one breath, and the Japanese pilots breathed a sigh of relief.
The story could have come to an end here, but at least two seedlings were left for the 5th Air Corps. But unfortunately, the two bombers were covered with bullet holes, the fuel tank was penetrated, and the fuel was completely exhausted. The six crew members had to abandon the plane and parachute in the painful eyes of the 19 Zero fighter pilots returning to escort.
Unfortunately, because the Japanese aircraft group wanted to avoid the pursuit of anti-aircraft guns, they chose the simplest straight-line escape, with the direction east, and the area where Japanese pilots parachuted was in the area controlled by China.
Five of the six Japanese bomber crew members successfully landed on the ground, only one fell to death because the parachute was not opened, but three of the five people who fell to the ground were shot dead by Chinese villagers on the spot with sticks, and only two were captured by the local security team.
These two men also became the only two survivors of the 5th Air Force bomber group who fought time difference and played tricks.
Of course, even if he lived, he didn't live long. After the war, two unlucky guys were sentenced as war crimes for bombing the south of Hengyang City, causing casualties in China, and were eventually shot in the mountain city.
At this point, the assault bombing led by the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force Command was both successful and failed. It successfully dropped incendiary bombs on Hengyang City and also dropped heavy bombs on various positions in the south of the city. However, the price was that 12 bombers and 5 Zero fighters were shot down, and 39 people, including Major Shiro Yamashita, died on the spot.
This price made the 5th Air Force stunned.
