Sorry, due to some unexpected situation, the fifth update becomes two updates, and the soldiers' bodies recover before bursting out!

*******

It's a bit ironic... Since the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Myanmar, the Chinese army has been planning to fight a big battle with the Japanese, but it has not been able to fight from the Battle of Tonggu to the Battle of Pingmanna to the Battle of Mandalay. However, it has not been expected that it has fought a battle with the Japanese army in Myitkyina.

The Japanese blockade of the Inowidy River quickly became Bengali, and later they even modified civilian ships like engineers to drive on the river as gunboats and showed off their power... Those civilian ships were requisitioned by the Japanese army in Mandalay, and then installed several cannons. Under the cover of airplanes, they drove along the Inowidy River to the side of the defense line of the New 22nd Division, in an attempt to cooperate with the 18th Division's attack on the New 22nd Division in this way.

But it should be said that the Japanese army was too bold. You should know that those were civilian ships, and there were a large number of howitzers and cannons left by the British army from Myitkyina. These artillery fires were afraid of the Japanese air force, so they were afraid to fire the artillery with confidence. However, at this time, they didn't care about it. They aimed at the few "booms" sounds and quickly sank them to the bottom of the river.

Of course, the Japanese fighter planes then dived down and fired and bombed our artillery positions, causing certain losses to our artillery again.

From this we can also see the importance of air power in modern and modern wars... Originally, Myitkyina could be said to be firmly in the hands of Chinese soldiers, and also relied on the geographical advantage and control of the Inowdie River to take the initiative. However, because there was no air force, the control of the Inowdie River was quickly lost and changed hands to the Japanese army. Even the tanks and armored vehicles in the hands of the engineering regiment could only stay in the jungle and dare not move... The speed of tanks and armored vehicles was too slow compared to takeoff planes. Japanese fighter jets only dive and then fired a shuttle bullet, which was the weakest top armor of the condescending attack tank. Even the Sherman medium tank had a top armor of only 13mm, which could not withstand the strafing of the fighter jets.

Therefore, modern military experts often have a saying, "Whoever has air supremacy will win." This statement makes some sense, but it is not absolute... The most extreme example is that the volunteer army without air supremacy on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea can repeatedly fight the United Nations troops led by the US military and search for teeth all over the ground.

Of course, that is related to a set of effective fighting styles developed by the Volunteer Army, who have been in weak equipment for a long time.

At this time, the army was suffering from this three-dimensional attack that could almost be said to be sea, land and air. Among them, the army also had artillery, infantry, tanks and other all-round troops that closely carried out the same three-dimensional attack, and the new 22nd Division gradually became a little overwhelmed.

But the soldiers knew that Myitkyina might be their only hope and the only hope of the expeditionary army. They had no way out, so they faced the Japanese troops rushing up, but they did not take a step back. Rows of soldiers fell down in the Japanese bombing like a storm. Another row of supplemented them. Before they had time to build the hidden body, they hid in the bullet crater. When the bullets were gone, they were bayonets, and the bayonets were stabbed into the Japanese chest and could not be pulled out, so they ignited the grenade and rushed towards the Japanese.

However, even so, the Japanese army still rushed into the defense line of the New 22nd Division under the cover of aircraft and tanks. When the Japanese army was about to break through the New 22nd Division's defense, bursts of dense machine guns and explosions suddenly came from the sky.

At first, the soldiers didn't feel anything unusual, but they just felt that the pressure on their heads suddenly eased... It seemed that the Japanese fighter jets and bombers suddenly stopped firing guns or dropped bombs.

Then when I saw a Japanese plane falling to the ground with black smoke, I felt something was wrong... Myitkyina's air defense firepower had almost been fired, and I didn't hear the sound of our anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns firing. How could the Japanese plane be shot down?!

Looking up, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. There were more than ten fighter jets with shark heads in the sky fighting against Japanese fighters. Their bloody mouths made them rush towards Japanese fighters like tigers with wings. After a while, several Japanese soldiers were beaten down and smoked. Then two "shark heads" dived down and fired at Japanese tanks... The Japanese tank armor was thin, and its top armor was

For the 12.7mm caliber machine guns on the American 40 fighter jets, it was even more like paper, so five or six tanks were instantly hit and black smoke was raised. One of them might have been hit by a shell and exploded into a ball of fire! Two more fighter jets dived down and dropped several bombs into the Japanese group that were charging... With the "boom" sound, piles of Japanese soldiers were lifted high into the air.

Then these fighter planes discovered the Japanese artillery positions again, so there was no need to say that they flew up and bombarded them again, and in just a moment they silenced the Japanese artillery fire.

"It's our plane!" I don't know who screamed: "It's our plane!"

Only then did the soldiers realize that they saw that the blue sky and white sun logo were indeed printed on the wings of the fighter planes. They couldn't help but cheer and shouted and killed the Japanese attack again.

The Japanese would not have thought that the Chinese soldiers would suddenly have air strength to help, and they were defeated by a defeated man and fled. In the end, they did not break through the defense line of the new 22nd Division. Instead, they lost a large number of aircraft, tanks and cannons...

The Chinese Air Force, known as the "Flying Tigers", came to help.

It is said that the reason why it is called the "Flying Tigers" is that some soldiers have never seen sharks, so they mistakenly regard the shark teeth on the head of the fighter as tiger teeth. At the same time, the tiger has wings, which is in line with the Chinese idiom "like a tiger with wings", so they call them "Flying Tigers".

The full name is "Chinese Air Force's American Volunteer Aid to China Airlines Team". The founder is Chennard, who is familiar to China. They just cooperated with Song Xilian's troops in the Nujiang area to block the Japanese army that penetrated along the China-Myanmar Highway to western Yunnan, and immediately rushed to Myitkyina to support the expeditionary force. They also achieved considerable results as soon as they came up... They shot down five Japanese soldiers and injured two fighter jets, and the remaining Japanese fighter jets fled when they saw that the situation was not good. Then the "Flying Tigers" poured the remaining ammunition on the Japanese tanks and artillery, and then they returned with satisfaction.

They were the first thing Zhang Chi and others did.
