Netizen Upload Chapter 61: Soul Lead Wuchang (9)
After the New 668th Regiment made a tragic sacrifice, the Japanese army tried to penetrate deep into the city and finally blocked the Japanese army. Moreover, the momentum of the Japanese army that invaded the northern city was firmly curbed to the north of Phoenix Mountain. But this did not mean that the battle would come to an end. In fact, the desperate battle lasted for a long time. Until noon on the seventh day, the bloody battle surrounding Wuchang City was exhausted and tens of thousands of soldiers had to stop their troops and quit.
But this peaceful and peaceful scene that was exchanged for thousands of lives was destined to be a flash in the pan!
At around 5 p.m. that day, the ten Type 97 light bombardments belonging to the Japanese Army Air Force came over Wuchang under the escort of nine falcon fighters, accompanied by the noisy engine roar.
Just as the Japanese bombers were diving down, and they were bombing the Wuchang urban area, which was still floating with faint smoke, was still floating in the distance. Due to the distance, nine P-51 Mustang fighters from the Sino-US mixed flight regiment, who had come one step late, also arrived in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang.
Compared with the P-51 Mustang, which enjoys the reputation of "king of fighter jets", the Japanese Falcon fighter has relatively advantages in flexibility and climbing performance, but its flight speed is too slow, but the Falcon cannot take the initiative in air combat with the Mustang. What's more fatal is that the gap in firepower strength and protection capabilities between the two is so different. As long as the dense firepower net emitted by the Mustang equipped with three 30 mm cannons can cover the opponent with a strong armor, it can effortlessly tear the thin and somewhat unreasonable falcon into pieces. On the contrary, although the protection performance of the Mustang is more than apart from heavy armored fighter jets such as the American "Lockheed P-38" (lightning type), it is not only equipped with two falcons with a caliber of 7.7 and 12.7 mm machine guns can be easily taken into consideration.
After understanding these, I believe that people will not have too many questions about who will win or lose the air battle with the same number of fighter jets on both sides of the battle!
And the situation has developed in this way.www.piaotian.com.com
The war started for only two minutes. A falcon-type fighter jet was swept by a wild horse cannon and lost its balance. After a few rolling and struggling in the air, the dead falcon-type fell from Langlangying's air with thick tail smoke. It happened to hit the Japanese position in the eastern suburbs of Nanchang. Looking at the explosion caused by the plane crash, the Japanese army stationed in that section of the trenches were probably few who could jump to life. Immediately afterwards, the falcon-type fighter jets joined the ranks of intimate with the earth one after another. Of course, the two wolves were injured and one was shot down.
Seeing that most of its formation had been destroyed, the remaining three falcons kept making evasive moves and fleeing to the northeast. The wild horses did not chase after them. They just turned around and realized that something was wrong and tried to escape from the battlefield.
If the falcon style just now had a little resistance, then these were first driven and bumped everywhere, and then they were beaten to explode in the air. They rushed into bright red and dazzling fire balls and were lightly bombarded. What they suffered was a complete massacre.
Soon, the arrogant figure of the wild horse can be seen in the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Their air force failed completely in the air battle. Although the Japanese army on the ground felt like they were lost, they did not give them much substantial strike after all. Therefore, the air defense forces of the Japanese army that failed to help because the air battle ended too quickly could muster up the courage to shoot at the air.
This level of counterattack has little effect on Mustang fighters that do not require dive and have a higher speed. In fact, the commander of Sumida Shiro, the commander of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang, issued an order to gather fire to shoot air defense weapons mainly to boost low morale.
The most hateful thing is that the Sino-US Air Force, which turned over and became its master, did not even leave this little face for masturbation for the poor Japanese Imperial Army. (Read piaotian.cn)
Soon, four giants emerged from the thick clouds between the sky, revealing the mystery of why the "wild horses" that won the victory.
"b-17!" Lieutenant General Sumitan, who rushed out of the command post after hearing the news, recognized at a glance that the person was the American B-17 bomber nicknamed the Sky Fortress.
The next moment, the knowledge that the single-air bomb load capacity of up to eight tons by this heavy bomber designed by Boeing was enough to blow any Japanese position that dared to expose the target into a sea of fire. With the spirit of a vicious dog robbing shit, he rushed back to the command post with a changing tone, and howled to the staff who were still stunned: "Immediately order all troops to hide! The air defense forces must also hide!"
When I was young, I hugged the ice hall in the city.
The joyful Qin Dongsheng ran to Cheng Jiaji, who was standing in the vestibule, and looked up at the sky with his hands in his arms and asked loudly: "Jun Zuo, the other side of the seats is calling and reporting. The group of aircraft supporting them has reached the sky above Hesheng Bridge. I'll ask if I can launch an attack!"
"Dongsheng, where is the main force of the New Eighteenth Army?" Perhaps because of the deep touch he has been touched in the past few days, Cheng Jiaji's temperament seemed to have suddenly become calm and solemn.
Influenced by the slightly suppressed invisible aura surrounding Cheng Jiaji, Qin Dongsheng put away his gaze and replied respectfully: "Junzu, the three divisions personally led by the New Eighteenth Army have passed Xianning. It is expected that they will arrive at Hesheng Bridge at the latest tonight, which can be used as a reserve for the outside troops."
"We and He Shengqiao are both moving immediately!" Cheng Jiaji replied concisely after pondering slightly.
After Qin Dongsheng left, Cheng Jiaji, who was aiming to connect He Shengqiao's troops to the integrated ground-space counterattack in the city, silently summed up himself in his heart: b-17! Wild Horse! The latter shouldn't emerge in China until this fall, and the former will appear in Myanmar in batches until the end of the year. But now they are all over Wuchang and above my head. History has changed a long time ago, but in the end, this change will eventually bring China's War of Resistance? I don't think about it anymore! At least China's current situation in this war is much better than in history. What's the ending that should only change in a good direction, right?!"
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Defense War, which has become the focus of the Chinese battlefield, Cheng Jiaji will not have much time to think about these irrelevant things. Later, the urgent military newspapers sent back from the troops involved in the counterattack brought him back to the noisy and noisy combat room.
Although his mood was complicated and heavier, Cheng Jiaji's mood was still cheerful and optimistic than Sanbenshan's lieutenant, who was in dire straits. You know, this lieutenant general who was in charge of He Shengqiao's defense was so anxious that he had launched an attack on the Chinese army in front of him that he sent two emergency telegrams to Lieutenant General Chiluli, who had moved the Corps command to the north of Wuchang City.
Of course, Yamamoto's panic makes absolutely sense!
Objectively speaking, when Yamamoto Miano saw six B-17s appearing over his position under the protection of the fighter fleet, his fighting spirit was much higher than that of Sumitanaka who was back to back. After all, whether it was a position of nearly ten kilometers, a relatively narrow terrain, the number of artillery, soldiers, or individual combat power, his 3rd Division was much stronger than the 39th Division, which was hurriedly turned into defense to attack. With these, even though Yamamoto
Knowing that his troops were not only killed and injured by a large number of people from the air, but would also be subject to fierce attacks from the Chinese army three or four times that of it, he firmly believed that the front-line troops that were urgently strengthened could stand up for a while, and then the second and third-line positions were more than enough to last until dark. After dark, the Sino-US Air Force, which had come from thousands of miles away, should return, and even if it was still not leaving for a while, the dark night would greatly increase the difficulty of ground-to-air cooperation.
But three books have made a lot of calculations, but it didn't count that the Chinese would take this action.
Six b-17 heavy bombers were divided into three columns, hovering little by little on the defense line that Yamamoto worked hard on, plowing, and incendiary bombs and ordinary bombs poured down from their belly, forming three flashes on the ground. The middle was a death zone where ordinary bombs were plowed out of smoke and dust, and on both sides were intermittent blockade lines formed by incendiary bombs. The Chinese forefront troops, which advanced in an extremely loose formation, followed the bombers with radio stations. After each piece of land cleared, the Japanese troops who were half-deadly bombed, they set up air contact boards everywhere so that the bombs would continue to land there. Then, a large group of Chinese troops rushed onto the land.
Of course, doing so requires extremely high requirements for the pilot's quality and infantry cooperation ability, and the corresponding probability of success is astonishingly small.
But the battlefield has always recognized reality. The fact is that the Chinese are relying on this incredible method to rush towards Wuchang, while Yamamoto Sanon could only watch his position as if it were a cloth head, cut open by a Chinese army that looked like a pair of scissors!
Of course, in this way, the consumption of the aircraft's oil is much faster than normal, so that after only half an hour of explosion, the fleet turned around and flew southwest, and the day was still far west.
Although the evil god left, Lieutenant General Yamamoto, who was already in a hurry, was also happy at all. However, the Chinese army was already strong in the position of the Third Division, and the Third Division could not expel it.
As for the reinforcements? After news, Lieutenant General Chiluli, who was withdrawing from the northern half of the city with a hundred times of hardship, called back, and a unit of a corps would arrive in Heshengqiao in three hours.
Three hours? It’s time to consider moving the division command post a little further! After reading the telegram, an indescribable bitterness appeared in Yamamoto’s heart.
At the same time, the war in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang is becoming increasingly beneficial to the Chinese army!
