The bomb was dropped very accurately and actually hit the armored vehicle directly. With a loud "boom", the armored vehicle was blown into pieces. After the explosion, there was only a large pit with blue smoke on the road, and there was not much left in the armored vehicle.

Next to the highway, several Japanese officers who were evacuating in a hurry saw this scene and immediately screamed miserably: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

The commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade was blown to ashes in this explosion.

In the sky.

A large number of Mustang fighters repeatedly dropped bombs at the Japanese team. Although the Japanese marching team was several kilometers long, the number of Mustang fighters was too large. Almost at the same time, the entire team was subjected to violent bombing.

Each Mustang fighter was suspended with 6 150 kilogram bombs. In just a few minutes, everyone threw almost all their bombs. Next, these Mustang fighters began to dive and strafuse.

Mustang fighter jets roared and flew over the Japanese's heads. The six large-caliber machine guns on each Mustang fighter jets fired the flames of death, and dense bullets shot at the Japanese.

The Japanese who were fleeing everywhere were knocked down one after another by dense bullets.

A Japanese master was carrying his command knife and fleeing to the distance in a panic. Under the cover of several Japanese masters, the Japanese master had already left the road for two or three hundred meters.

In the sky, a wild horse fighter plane had discovered the Japanese officer who was fleeing in a hurry. The wild horse fighter plane roared over and drove the Japanese Major who was fleeing desperately into a sieve. Several ordinary Japanese soldiers next to them were also injured if they were not dead.

Some Japanese who were fleeing not far away were frightened to see the wild horse fighter plane so fierce. Some of them actually threw away the Type 38 rifle in their hands, screamed, and ran away in a stumble.

96 Mustang fighters carried out violent attacks in this area for 30 to 40 minutes, and the planes did not return until they had all their bullets.

On the ground.

There are big pits everywhere. There are the corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, and even the scattered weapons are everywhere. It can be seen that this field brigade suffered heavy losses and more than half of the casualties.

Seeing the wild horse fighter planes leaving, many fleeing Japanese soldiers began to come back one after another. The remaining Japanese soldiers looked sad when they saw the corpses all over the ground, and many Japanese soldiers seemed to be in lingering fear. Just now, so many planes bombed them violently. It was simply too terrifying.

Starting from dawn, a large number of Mustang fighters of the Chinese team and dozens of "Super Air Fortress" bombers began to launch fierce air strikes on the Japanese. Just now, the Japanese team, just one of the teams that suffered the blow, had five or six Japanese teams hit in the first round.

There were at least one Mustang fighter fleet, two or three Mustang fighter squadrons, as before, even reached 4 Mustang fighter squadrons. These aircraft carried out fierce bombing and air strikes on the Japanese teams that took the initiative to attack.

This was just the first round of aerial strikes. After the first round, the second round, the third round, even the fourth round, and the fifth round, with a large number of fighter jets frequently attacking.

Under the fierce attack of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army's active offensive plan was forced to be interrupted. After many Japanese devils were hit by fatal blows, the Japanese began to turn to defense, with the focus on air defense.

However, the Japanese had serious shortage of air defense weapons, and the fierce attacks from Chinese aircraft continued.

****

Outside Mandalay City.

Outside the entire Mandalay City, a few kilometers away, and a dozen kilometers away, the Japanese army built a large number of defensive positions because they knew that the Chinese team had a large number of aircraft, and these defensive positions were built relatively strongly.

Of course, this sturdiness is relatively strong. The Japanese army who defended themselves think it is relatively strong, but whether they can withstand the bombing of heavy aviation bombs is still unknown.

After dawn, several reconnaissance aircraft were conducting high-altitude reconnaissance near Mandalay. Many Japanese in this area also discovered these reconnaissance aircraft. However, the height of these reconnaissance aircraft was too high, and the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns were not reachable at all. The Japanese could helplessly accept the fact that they were being investigated.

At noon.

Many Japanese soldiers are already preparing for lunch. There are a large number of Japanese soldiers on many positions outside the city. The Japanese are not very morale. Many Japanese soldiers already know that after dawn today, a large number of Chinese aircraft will launch violent air strikes on their front-line troops.

Although it is dozens of kilometers away from the front line, the Japanese soldiers stationed on huge positions did not feel any relief and were worried about being bombed.

The worries of these Japanese are not without reason. At this time, not far from here, a huge group of "super air fortress" bombers was flying towards this area. This is a formation of more than 50 bombers, which looks very large.

The "Super Sky Fortress" is much larger than the Mustang fighter. More than fifty bombers together look very spectacular, just like a large area covering the sky and the sun.

These aircraft are gradually lowering their altitude and approaching the Japanese defensive positions outside Mandalay. The target of these bombers is to bomb these defensive positions.

This is a large defensive position. Relying on the undulating terrain, the Japanese army built a large number of fortifications in this area of ​​three to four kilometers and a depth of more than one kilometer.

There are trenches, bunkers everywhere, some bunkers are cement bunkers, and a large number of anti-aircraft holes. There are Japanese people everywhere on the positions.

I saw a huge group of bombers coming, and more than a dozen two-unit 25mm cannons deployed on this position fired in advance, although these "super air fortress" bombers were far from entering the range of these anti-aircraft machine guns.

In the sky.

The dozens of bombers had a flight altitude of at least six or seven thousand meters, and were still a certain distance from this defensive position. The soldiers did not expect that before they started bombing, the Japanese opened fire first.

"Comrades! The Japanese's anti-aircraft weapon is a 25mm cannon, so pay attention to the bomb drop height."

A sound came from the radio system. The crew of each bomber knew that in the face of the Japanese 25mm cannon, it would be enough to keep the bombing height greater than 5,000 meters.

The Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun is a Type 96 60-diameter 25mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, with triple-mounted artillery, with an initial velocity of 900 meters/sec, a maximum range of 6,800 meters, a maximum firing height of 5,000 meters, and a firing rate of 220 rounds/min. Many soldiers are already familiar with this 25mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun.

The flight altitude of the "Super Air Fortress" bomber formation dropped a little more, from six to seven thousand meters to more than five thousand meters. At this altitude, many aircraft were preparing to drop bombs.

Soon, aviation bombs weighing 200 kilograms roared and threw them towards the Japanese defensive positions, and violent explosions sounded.

Many Japanese devils who were huddling in the trenches and some Japanese devils in the bunkers were killed. Even the cement bunkers built by the Japanese could not withstand the 200-kilogram heavy aviation bombs. Such bunkers were blown into pieces.

The Japanese army thought that it was very strong, and everything was destroyed in front of these blockbuster bombs.

Even the solid cement bunkers were destroyed, not to mention those trenches. Once a bomb went down, the long trenches were gone, and the Japanese hiding in this trenches were also killed.

Many Japanese, seeing that the bombs of the Chinese team were so powerful, immediately panicked to the nearest anti-cannon hole gun, with the purpose of avoiding bombing.

The anti-aircraft shelters are crowded with Japanese devils. These anti-aircraft shelters are different from the air-raid shelters. They are far less profound than the air-raid shelters and do not go deep into the ground at all. They may be able to withstand the bombardment of 105 mm caliber heavy artillery, but in front of these 200-kilogram bombs, they still seem to be not strong enough and difficult to resist.

These anti-aircraft holes are generally about ten meters deep, and some are only about a few meters deep. They are generally reinforced and supported by thick wood, and there are few anti-aircraft holes with cement structures.

There are not many anti-aircraft holes in cement structures, and they are generally used for some senior Japanese officers or used as command centers.

At this time, a Japanese colonel officer, several Nakas and the Grandmaster, were hiding in a cement anti-aircraft hole more than ten meters deep. This place was also a corps command center. There were even several radio stations in the anti-aircraft hole, and there were tables.

The little Japanese colonel hiding in this anti-cannon hole looked very ugly. I don’t know if it was because the explosion outside was too violent and unbearable, or because his troops were too injured and his face was ugly.

The little Japanese colonel with an ugly face looked through the entrance of the cave and looked at the huge explosion outside, with soil flying everywhere, huge deep pits, a large number of Japanese secret limbs and broken arms, and a large number of weapons and equipment. As the air waves scattered, the little Japanese colonel's face turned a little ugly again.

A "boom" explosion sounded at the entrance of the cave, and half of the entrance of the cave was blown down. The Japanese colonel in the cave was almost stunned, and several Japanese soldiers near the entrance of the cave were even shocked to death.

There was another loud "boom". The Japanese colonel in the cave felt that the entire anti-cannon hole was shaking, and the cement and soil on the top of the cave fell down. Many Japanese in the cave were horrified to find that their anti-cannon hole had been blown up and cracked.

Just now, a 200-kilogram bomb exploded at the top of this anti-aircraft hole. All the several meters thick of soil on the top of the anti-aircraft hole were lifted up, revealing a large pit and also exposing the cement top. As long as another bomb explodes on it, the anti-aircraft hole will collapse by 100%.
