....................................
The battle on the ground was in full swing. Such intense shooting completely defeated the Japanese's will. The Japanese Cavalry Regiment Captain saw that his corps suffered heavy casualties. In just ten minutes, nearly half of his cavalry suffered casualties. If he rushes like this, the entire army might be destroyed.
The firepower of the ** team on the opposite side was so fierce. The collective charge of more than 2,000 cavalry could not cross the opposite defense line. The Japanese corps leader saw a large number of Japanese cavalry falling one after another, and immediately issued an order to stop the charge and retreat.
Less than a few minutes after the Japanese cavalry corps retreated, the Japanese troops behind them, about nearly 10,000 Japanese cavalry, arrived here one after another. Tens of thousands of Japanese cavalry, including a small number of puppet cavalry, gathered in these few square kilometers areas and were at a loss.
The commander of the brigade of the First Cavalry Brigade, Ying Sen Takashi, held a telescope and looked carefully at the Central Team in front, with a serious expression. He looked at the thousands of Japanese cavalrymen who were charging forward and sank to the ground, and felt a vague pain in his heart.
The soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment saw the Japanese cavalry in front of them, but did not dare to charge and attack. Some soldiers began to provoke the Japanese, and the rest of the soldiers also burst into laughter.
Seeing that the Chinese team on the opposite side were so "arrogant". A Japanese gang walked up to Ying Sen Takashi and said anxiously: "The brigade is your lord. Let me lead our gang to rush again, and we will definitely break the defense line of the Chinese team on the opposite side."
At this time, Takashi Yingmori was so angry that his face turned pale when he saw the provocation of the Century Team on the opposite side, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "The Century Team on the opposite side is too strong, and rushing again will only increase casualties. The Second Cavalry Regiment just now is a good example."
Seeing that Ying Senxiao did not allow it, the Japanese devils' corps fell helplessly, saluted, and turned around and left.
At this time, a Japanese cavalryman ran away quickly on his war horse in a panic, without even respecting the military salute. He said anxiously: "Brig Commander, a large number of Chinese teams are catching up with him, a large number of chariots and tens of thousands of cavalry."
"What? There are tens of thousands of cavalry? A large number of chariots?" Ying Senxiao's head turned around for a long time, and then hurriedly said anxiously: "Everyone divided into two groups, one to the north and one to the south. Everyone met in Guisui, and the First Cavalry Regiment and the Imperial Army were responsible for the cover of the palace."
The soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment immediately chased after the Japanese when they saw that the Japanese were separated and their troops were divided into two groups. However, the blocking troops left by the Japanese slowed down the soldiers' pursuit speed.
Gao Zhihang in the sky sighed when he saw the Japanese escape separately. He said in his heart, it was a pity. Because Gao Zhihang, who was hovering in the sky, saw the large army pursued by the 36th Army. It was several kilometers away from the Japanese.
Just as Gao Zhihang was sighing, he suddenly saw many small black dots appearing in the sky ahead. It was not good, it was the Japanese aircraft. So Gao Zhihang looked at the fuel gauge of his plane and found that he had been hovering in the sky for so long. At this time, the fuel volume could only last for an hour at most. The fuel volume of the other three fighters must be similar to that of him.
So, Gao Zhihang immediately told the other planes about the discovery of the enemy plane, and asked the small transport plane to retreat first and return to Datong Airport, and he led the other two fighters to prepare for battle.
The Japanese plane flew from the east, and it was just afternoon. The sun was in the west, and the Japanese plane was like flying towards the sun. I don’t know if I saw Gao Zhihang’s plane.
But no matter what, since I decided to fight, I couldn't care so much. I hope the Japanese did not find themselves. So Gao Zhihang quickly pulled up the plane, and three planes hid into the clouds, preparing to seize the opportunity, dive, and catch the Japanese off guard.
The Japanese's more than a dozen bombers and seven or eight fighter jets obviously did not find that Gao Zhihang and others were lowering the altitude. The Japanese's bombers reduced the flight altitude to less than two thousand meters and prepared to dive and bomb the tanks and armored vehicles of the 36th Army on the ground.
The two sides of the warring sides on the ground had already heard the roar of huge planes in the sky. The Japanese cavalry looked up and saw that it was their own group of aircraft and immediately became happy. Many Japanese cavalry swept away the panic and horror they had just now, and even smiled happily on their faces.
On the ground, soldiers from the Thirty-Sixth Army looked up and saw the Japanese aircraft group in the sky. Most of them looked solemn. Such bombers in the sky were obviously mainly targeted at their own tanks and armored vehicles.
Commander Pan of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment looked at the distance of the Japanese. It was obvious that his 30mm machine gun was not reaching, and the distance was too far. The Japanese plane came from the east and was almost over the armored regiment, and it was still far from him. I hope that the mechanized infantry battalion, which is now with the armored regiment, can shoulder the heavy responsibility of air defense.
The Japanese bomber pilot, looking at the large number of Chinese tanks and armored vehicles on the ground, screamed happily, lowered the altitude again, leaning over the armored regiment, and even the Japanese fighter jets lowered the altitude, perhaps preparing to shoot the Chinese team on the ground.
Just when the Japanese thought the opportunity was rare and were extremely happy, the plane driven by Gao Zhihang dived from a high altitude and opened fire from behind the Japanese on an unprepared Japanese fighter plane.
The two large-caliber machine guns on the fighter jet were spraying flames, and a rapid "da, da, da..." sounded. The Japanese plane was instantly hit by more than a dozen large-caliber machine gun bullets, and they rushed to the ground with thick smoke.
The other two fighter planes, seeing their captain's victory in the first battle, also aimed at two Japanese aircraft to fire. Perhaps the Japanese pilots were prepared for the defense. The Japanese pilot was startled when he saw two Chinese aircraft suddenly appearing and quickly avoided the rules. However, one Japanese aircraft was still hit, emitting thick smoke and shaking. The Japanese pilot wisely chose to parachute.
The soldiers of the Thirty-Sixth Army on the ground saw their air force and shot down two Japanese aircraft immediately. They immediately cheered. The Japanese who were very happy just now immediately cried and suffered a great blow.
When the soldiers of the armored regiment saw the Japanese bomber in the sky, they immediately drove tanks and armored vehicles to widen the distance between them to reduce the chance of being bombed. The first battalion of the mechanical infantry regiment responsible for air defense, the soldiers quickly controlled the 30mm machine gun on the off-road vehicle and aimed at the Japanese aircraft in the sky. As long as the Japanese aircraft entered the range, they would open fire.
Seeing that the first battle was successful, and the Japanese pilot had already reported it, Gao Zhihang immediately flew the plane and pulled it up to avoid the pursuit and attack of the Japanese plane.
Several Japanese fighter jets were chasing Gao Zhihang and three other aircraft. The planes of both sides began to chase in the sky. In the end, Japanese airplanes had the advantage in the number of aircraft. Basically, two aircraft dealt with one of the 36th Army's aircraft. After a while, Japanese airplanes took the initiative.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Zhihang hurriedly led the other two planes to fly over the mechanized infantry regiment, because Gao Zhihang saw that a large number of off-road vehicles on the ground had pointed the muzzles of the machine guns into the sky, waiting for the Japanese plane to come to the door.
Soon, Gao Zhihang flew over the mechanized infantry regiment, and the Japanese plane behind him was still chasing him and did not pay attention to the situation of the Zhongzhang team on the ground.
Seeing several Japanese aircraft behind him that were only less than a thousand meters apart, Gao Zhihang smiled on his face and continued flying forward, setting a safe distance from Japanese aircraft.
Suddenly, dozens or hundreds of 30mm machine guns on the ground aimed at several Japanese fighter jets and opened fire. The dense artillery fire intertwined into a metal rain screen in the sky. Several Japanese planes were shot before they could react.
In the sky, a Japanese pilot was blown up by a volley, burst into pieces and splashed everywhere. The other aircraft were all emitting thick smoke and planted on the ground. Two Japanese pilots were successfully parachuted and were about to be happy, but they were knocked into pieces by dense 30mm machine guns.
The Japanese plane flew from flying over the mechanized infantry regiment to shooting down. In less than a few minutes, the soldiers immediately cheered when they saw that all the Japanese planes were shot down.
To the east, above the armored regiment, more than a dozen Japanese bombers were preparing to drop bombs. Dozens of 30mm machine guns responsible for air defense on the ground. When they saw the Japanese bomber entering the range, they immediately started firing.
The Japanese bombers had less than a few planes dropped bombs, and most of the remaining planes were hit by ground artillery fire from the China National Team before they had time to drop bombs.
The Japanese bombers had a large target, low altitude, and were not fast in flight. The soldiers' 30mm cannons were accurate at one time. Several Japanese bombers were immediately hit. One bomber might have been hit by ammunition on the plane, and a violent explosion occurred in the sky, blowing into pieces of splashing debris.
When the other Japanese bombers saw this, they immediately stopped dropping bombs and flew quickly away from the strike range of the 30mm machine gun at the maximum speed. When the Japanese bombers' more than a dozen Japanese bombers left the range of the 30mm machine guns, they had already lost more than half of them.
Seeing the remaining bombers of the Japanese, exceeding the range of 30mm machine guns, I sighed with regret. Some soldiers even slapped the body of the off-road vehicle with a look of a pity. (To be continued...)
