"This time we finally won the great victory in Taierzhuang, and we are now chasing the remnants of the Japanese 10th Division Group. If we can also wipe out the remnants of these damn Japanese troops, then our morale will be even stronger.

!”

"Of course! Since the Battle of Songhu, we have always lost more than we won! I have been holding this breath for a long time. This time we can finally annihilate so many Japanese troops at once. It is really

It’s very satisfying!”

"Yes! Judging from this battle, I feel that the Japanese troops are not invincible. As long as we can flexibly command the troops to fight, we can still kill the Japanese with heavy casualties!"

"Yeah! I see it this way too, so we are still very confident in the next battle in Xuzhou!"

"Yes! Maybe this time we can defeat the Japs' army again, and let these damn Japs try how it feels to lose one after another!"

"I hope so too. If we can defeat the enemy's incoming army, I'm afraid it will cheer up the whole country!"

"..."

Some senior national army officers who were stationed near Taierzhuang and still commanded the pursuit troops to pursue the Japanese 10th Division also continued to discuss their victory.

However, among these officers, there are no Commander Li, commander of the Fifth War Zone, Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in the Henan-Hubei-Anhui Border Region, Zhang Zizhong of the 33rd Army, Li Pinxian of the 11th Army, Sun Zhen of the 22nd Army, and Wang Zuanxu of the 29th Army.

, and Yang Sen and others from the 27th Army,

So it is also a very lucky thing,

Because just when these officers were talking most excitedly and happily, the Japanese army's huge aircraft group, under the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft group, guided them to the sky above the headquarters of these officers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Soon, aerial bombs were dropped from the belly of these Japanese aircraft groups.

As a result, among the lightning and flint, there were bursts of louder and louder explosion sounds, as well as explosions and flames reaching into the sky.

The entire land was bombarded by Japanese planes, and the earth shook.

Faced with such a sudden bombing attack, the officers of the national army who had been discussing the most fiercely just now were bombed with precision, and most of them were killed or injured immediately. The remaining few who were not dead were panicked.

, screamed in fear.

"It's an air raid! It's a Japanese air raid coming! Everyone, please find cover! Run away!"

"How could this happen? Why are there still Japanese planes here? Aren't all the Japanese troops defeated by us? Why are there still Japanese planes attacking here?"

"Run away! Their bombing is very fierce!"

"Where are our anti-aircraft machine guns? Fight back!"

All of a sudden, there were many different kinds of shouts and shouts, and they were shouting one after another in the headquarters area of ​​these national army officers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

...

...

However, the aerial bombardment of the Japanese's huge aircraft group and the strafing of airborne machine guns were still going on.

For a time, the entire periphery of the National Army Command Headquarters was littered with the corpses of National Army officers and soldiers one after another. The sight was horrifying, and the sky was still filled with flames of war.

...

...

As for the shocking news that the headquarters in Taierzhuang had been blown up by the Japs, the news of the large-scale surprise attack by the Japs Air Force was quickly sent from Taierzhuang to Commander Li in Xuzhou City.

,

"How is this possible?"

"What are the Japanese doing? Why did they suddenly send such a large group of planes to bomb Taierzhuang?"

"Is it to rescue the remnants of the Japanese 10th Division?"

"But haven't all the remnants of the 10th Division escaped from our encirclement? Then why do you have to mobilize so many aviation forces to bomb us?"

"Is it for revenge?"

When Commander Li saw the shocking news that the headquarters in Taierzhuang was bombed and killed many senior officers, many different thoughts suddenly flashed through Commander Li's mind, thinking about what it would be like.

The reason was that it attracted such a huge Japanese aircraft group to carry out a sneak attack and bombardment of Taierzhuang.

It's just that no matter how Commander Li speculated, he still couldn't think of the most accurate answer. But in the end he could only guess one thing, which was that this was a pure retaliatory bombing by the Japanese Air Force.

As for another point that he couldn't guess, it was what the attack power and flight combat performance of the experimental Zero carrier-based aircraft group would be like, and whether there were any areas where Japanese technical personnel needed to make corrections.

"Give me the order! Don't continue to pursue the remnants of the Japanese 10th Division alone for the time being. At the same time, do all the air defense work, including building more air defense fortifications. We absolutely cannot be bombed by the Japanese planes."

, to destroy all lines of defense!"

"Otherwise, once the Japanese army gathers to attack Xuzhou City, Xuzhou City will be in danger and cannot be defended!"

However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he still couldn't think of any good answers, so Commander Li immediately issued emergency response methods and orders to deal with the incoming Japanese aviation force in large numbers.

At the same time, he was also very happy that he had already returned to Xuzhou City from Taierzhuang, otherwise he might have been attacked by a huge group of Japanese planes and killed or injured.

After Commander Li's order was issued, all communications officers quickly conveyed his order to all positions on the front line, including the troops at Taierzhuang who were not all killed.

In addition, Xuzhou City has also entered an emergency air defense state.

At the same time, Commander Li also sent a message to the Chairman and Mrs. Song, requesting support from the aviation force.

Not long after, Mrs. Song also received a telegram from Commander Li's aviation force asking for help.

"Can our current aviation force continue to fight?"

"Commander Zhou?"

Mrs. Song looked at Commander Zhou, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and asked with a worried tone.

"It's still possible. It's all because of the new fighter jets Liu Feiyang gave us and the volunteer pilots from abroad who came to support our fight against Japan. We were able to reorganize the aviation force with three new flying brigades so quickly.

Come, fight against the Japanese flying troops!"

"However, many of these pilots are novices in terms of their flying qualities and combat experience, so they still need time to train and improve!"

In response to Mrs. Song's inquiry, Commander Zhou immediately nodded in response.

"Then do you think how many pilots we can send out to support Taierzhuang? Because they have just achieved a great victory and annihilated more than 10,000 Japanese troops. This is the biggest victory since the Anti-Japanese War, so we cannot let these brave soldiers

The frontline soldiers are bombarded by these Japanese aviation forces all the time!"

"And some of the senior officers currently staying at Taierzhuang were killed by the sudden attack by the Japanese aviation force. This is what the telegram just sent by Commander Li said!"

After hearing that there were still pilots available for combat operations, Mrs. Song was very frank and handed the telegram sent by Commander Li asking for help to Commander Zhou, and said in a serious tone.

"Okay! Let me arrange the flying troops to Taierzhuang now! But at most I can only dispatch one group of pilots, because the remaining ones don't have much combat experience and are still in training, so I can only dispatch

Be able to do your best!”

After Commander Zhou received Commander Li's telegram, he read it quickly and immediately agreed.

"Well! On behalf of the brave soldiers at Taierzhuang, thank you for your support!"

Mrs. Song also nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

Commander Zhou also nodded in response, and then he stopped talking nonsense and went to arrange the attack for his own flying group.
