In Xia Village, 27 kilometers east of Yuncheng, the Japanese built an airport here.

In order to keep it a secret, the Japanese arrested the people in the village and turned them into laborers who worked day and night, built fortifications and built airports, and buried them alive if they couldn't work. The blood and tears of the people were flowing everywhere in the airport.

Maruyama Kihara was waiting anxiously with his subordinates in the lounge. After thinking about it, he felt worried. He told his subordinates again: "You guys, this is a battle that concerns our stay or not! If we lose, we will all return to our country to become coaches. If we win, we can continue to stay on the battlefield to fight against the enemy. So, please!"

As he said that, Maruyama Kihara bowed deeply to his subordinates, and his subordinates stood up to return the gifts.

Captain Heiga said: "Please rest assured, Master, we will definitely do our best and will not give up until we achieve our goal. Even if we use an airplane to hit the enemy's tanks! Let the empire know that our 45th Flying Team should stay on the battlefield rather than return to our country!"

The captain of Ono said relaxedly: "Higa Jun, I heard that the Eighth Route Army had only more than fifty tanks, but we had 32 aircraft. Each aircraft was not enough to divide two targets. Only Higa Jun needed to use an aircraft to hit it, right?"

The other pilots laughed.

In their opinion, this is actually a dangerous task. Although the 98 light bomber has many shortcomings, such as range, maintenance, etc., it is a veritable dive bomber.

The characteristic of a dive bomber is to rely on the inertia of the fighter's dive towards the target to increase the accuracy and lethality of the bomb.

Therefore, it is easy for 32 bombers to destroy more than 50 enemy tanks, and there is no need to use an airplane to crash as Captain Hiraga said.

Just as the pilots were talking and talking to each other, the staff guarding the telegram stood up and reported to Maruyama Kihara: "Your Majesty, the headquarters telegram, found the target, ten miles east of Uekawa Village. Please be sure to destroy the target before it contacts our army's tank!"

Maruyama Kihara was overjoyed. It took him only two seconds to find the location of Uenkawa Village on the map, and then waved his hand and shouted: "You guys, be loyal to the empire!"

"Long live!" The pilots responded loudly, and then ran out of the lounge and rushed towards their plane with Maruyama Kihara.

Not long after, the planes rushed into the sky one after another with howling sounds along the runway.

After forming the team, Maruyama Kihara led the plane along the road and plains, and carefully avoided Yuncheng... This was Maruyama Kihara's lessons learned from the previous battle in Yuncheng. He knew that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with several anti-aircraft guns.

The Eighth Route Army actually has anti-aircraft cannons?

This surprised Maruyama Kihara.

But after thinking about it, since Mao Xiong is willing to give the Eighth Route Army the most advanced tanks, of course he will not be stingy with these anti-aircraft guns.

It is not difficult to avoid anti-aircraft guns.

Maruyama Kihara knew that Mao Xiong's anti-aircraft guns were not far, mostly only four or five thousand meters.

To deal with such anti-aircraft guns, you only need to pull the plane up a little and avoid the woods to exceed its range.

This is also the reason why Maruyama Kihara chose to use plains as the flight route.

What Maruyama Kihara didn't expect was that the flight route he chose just exposed the preparation time for the Eighth Route Army...

If the Japanese plane flew out from behind the mountain, the battle would begin the moment the Eighth Route Army discovered it, and there would be no hurry to prepare.

But the Japanese flew east from the plains, and there was another 32 aircraft group. The scouts arranged by the Eighth Route Army on the mountain saw the target from a distance.

So he immediately reported to Wang Xuexin by telegram.

"Battery Commander!" Chen Songyong's voice was low and urgent: "I guess he will arrive in more than ten minutes in a while when he found the Japanese aircraft group!"

Wang Xuexin did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Order the troops to enter the No. 3 ambush zone immediately and prepare for anti-aircraft guns!"

"The troops entered the Ambush Zone 3!"

"Anti-air gun preparation, Ambush No. 3, Ambush No. 3!"

...

The tank troops had actually crossed the No. 3 ambush zone, but as soon as they received the order, they immediately ordered the tank to turn back.

The entire team turned into the front team and the back team turned into the front team, and retreated along the way.

Then they hid in the tank bunker that had been dug in advance...

It is said that the tank bunker does not have air defense function because its top is open, and you can still see these tanks from the top down from the perspective of the Japanese pilot.

Such a bunker cannot prevent bombs falling from the top of your head.

But this is not the case.

Because aviation bombs usually hit the target instead of hitting the tank vertically, they hit the tank from the side with a diagonal line with the inertia of the aircraft.

At this time the bunker can play a role.

The flight route of the bomb is actually blocked by a tank bunker, so it will be detonated in advance and cannot injure the tank.

In order to deceive the Japanese, the soldiers even pushed out more than a dozen fake tanks made of wood from the grass... This fake tank has settings at every ambush point. In order not to attract the enemy's attention, it is covered with turf and pushed onto the road when needed.

After Gangko directed the driver to drive the tank into the bunker, he shouted at the soldier who was still running outside: "Cover, cover!"

Those were soldiers arranged in the ambush area, with about one platoon, and their mission was to make fake tanks and dig tank bunkers and ensure their safety.

Because this task is easy, most of them are recruits, and some are guerrillas formed by local people.

Without combat experience, they actually put their palms on their foreheads and looked into the sky after pushing out the fake tank, as if they were worried that the Japanese plane would not be fooled.

Gangzi was so angry that he cursed at them, and even took out the box cannon at his waist and fired twice, roaring: "It's all damn? I want to see how the Japanese plane lay eggs or what? I'll scatter and get off the bed immediately!"

As soon as the soldiers dispersed, the Japanese plane swooped down with a harsh roar.

Maruyama Kihara felt that the mission was going smoothly, which gave him a sense of ominousness... Is it so smooth? I found the target in just over ten minutes, and the target was still still.

This is the strangest thing about Maruyama Kihara.

The tank was discovered by an aircraft and was found in a plain area. Shouldn’t it be maneuvered at the fastest speed to avoid bombing?

Experienced tankers are not difficult to avoid bombers.

For example, sudden turn when the bomber is approaching, or emergency stops, which can make the bomber's prediction errors unable to hit.

But now, they stopped, and several tanks were still parked in the middle of the highway, standing there like targets.

Maruyama Kihara looked carefully and found the problem.

"Tank bunker!" said Maruyama Kihara: "Many of their tanks hide in tank bunkers!"

"It's nothing!" Captain Heiga replied: "All we have to do is dive at a high angle!"
