Chapter 404 Pilot Hashimoto
General Shin-Ruo Hata basically set the tone for the entire Tongcheng plan, and still ensured the original combat plan. However, on this basis, some reinforcements must be added to ensure the smooth progress of the plan instead of listening to the opinions of the General Staff to give up Tongcheng, attack the Henan front line, and enter Wuhan directly from Henan.
The purpose of the Japanese army was to compress the entire Chinese army to the western front and finally attack them, and to take down the entire China in one fell swoop. This was also the initial battle plan of the base camp. However, the more China's terrain went west, the more roads the Japanese army's advantage became smaller and smaller as they went deeper. Of course, the victory of several battles at this time made them a little blindly optimistic.
After the Sixth Division received the news from the Central China Front Army Command, Fujita Jin felt an indescribable desolation in his heart. This feeling may be because his original third division had more than 20,000 people, and there was not much left in the end. Now facing his old opponent again, Fujita Jin felt not excited but a little fearful mentality.
When Hatan Detachment's captain Hatan Detachment received a telegram from the 6th Division, he really wanted to slap Fujita to death. No wonder the 6th Division did not move. Originally, Hatan Detachment also thought that the 6th Division should arrive in Tongcheng one day in advance. Hatan Detachment even thought that Tongcheng had no big relationship with his Hatan Detachment, but now he has lost so many excellent imperial warriors and was fooled in the end. The fact that he became a person who had been to the 6th Division made Hatan Detachment very unhappy.
Chief of Staff Tianyi said to Hatan Mitsuo: "Your Captain, we have really encountered a tough problem this time."
Hatan Mitsuya was bored and said with an unhappy expression: General Hata Shunji has ordered us to cooperate with the 6th Division to attack Tongcheng. It seems that the General has made up his mind to take Tongcheng. Is our armored troops also going to be dispatched?
Chief of Staff Tianyi said: As of now, it is hard to say how important the armored troops can play, but our infantry now seems to be effective. The ratio of losses is more than 1:3. Such a battle is simply awful for us.
Hatan Mitsuye said distressedly: It has been rumored that the 318th Army is difficult to fight. Now, after personal experience, I really know how difficult to fight. This unit is strictly disciplined. The attack of our unit was easily resisted with only about a thousand people. I have no doubt that we attacked a few more times. I have no doubt that my unit has any more attacks. Now we are facing such a prepared army. It seems difficult for me to conquer it for a while.
Tian nodded and said: Master Captain, I have analyzed the case of the Jiangyin defense battle. At that time, their army was less than 10,000,000, in fact, their army was less than 7,000. They were able to block the attack of the Shigeto Detachment and the 13th Division, and assassinated the defensive formation of King Hirohiko Asakamiya and the commander of the Ogisu Rising Division. Their defense formation was simpler than Tongcheng this time. They prepared very well. I have reason to believe that they were preparing to defend Tongcheng for a long time.
Hatan Mitsuyo was in deep thought. In order to prove his determination to confront the 318th Army of Tongcheng, General Hata Shinji had sent a flight team from the aviation brigade to bomb Kirigaki Hata Shinji. Even if Tongcheng's defense is good, he could not withstand the layers of bombing of the Great Japanese Empire aircraft. If he couldn't do more, he would always have an effect. Quantitative change would cause qualitative change. Hata Shinji believed this.
Aircraft is one of the Japanese army's absolute killer weapons. The air defense cannons in the current squadron can almost be regarded as a luxury item. Many troops have not even equipped a gun with a person. How can they equip such luxurious air defense equipment? Only in some important cities or important places can they equip some such things in small quantities.
Hashimoto, a pilot of the Japanese Air Flight Team, is an old pilot. It's not that he is old, but that he has participated in major battles such as the Battle of Shanghai and Nanjing Defense of the Battle of Xuzhou. During this period, he performed missions for more than 30 times. He enjoyed the feeling brought by flying every time. Looking at the mushroom clouds that were dropped one by one by one, he felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
At first, Hashimoto looked at the bombed Chinese civilians, and seemed to feel a little unbearable. However, as the people from the Flying Brigade began to compete for their military achievements, the competitive Hashimoto also began to bomb civilians continuously. After two adaptations, Hashimoto has now developed a hobby, which is to start bombing some residential areas as soon as he gets the opportunity, even when performing reconnaissance missions.
I thought the battle in Xuzhou had just ended and I could have a rest for a while, but this afternoon, Hashimoto's flight brigade received another mission. The Tongcheng Flying Brigade that bombed China, which had dispatched six fighter jets this time. Hashimoto was lucky to be selected again with excitement, Hashimoto began his journey
As the commander of six aircraft, Hashimoto, who led the team for the first time, naturally wanted to show the beginning of the Wuhan Battle. Hashimoto felt that his chance came again. Hashimoto prayed silently: I will take glory back to see my wife, and then gestured a cross in his hand. Hashimoto boarded his beloved fighter plane and started flying towards Kiri Castle with five pilots, but Hashimoto didn't know that his trip to China would soon come to an end.
The Sixth Division and Hatan Detachment have been in contact. This time, Fujita Jin did not expect that he would be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Tongcheng. All Japanese troops attacking Tongcheng would be controlled by him Fujita Jin. Although Fujita Jin felt bitter in his heart, as a general, how could he reveal this emotion?
Wang Mingyu went to the south gate to express his condolences to the soldiers who had just participated in the battle. Now it is time to encourage these soldiers who had just participated in the battle. This is also the best time to achieve the best results. Wang Mingyu's arrival has greatly encouraged these soldiers who had just participated in the battle.
Many soldiers on the city gate were watching the crazy scene of the Japanese attack. They were not feeling well when they saw the ground's broken limbs and blood. But looking at the brothers who had already started fighting, they also forced themselves to integrate into the atmosphere of the battlefield. The soldiers always had to adapt. Zhang Deen asked his troops to take turns to prepare to be transferred to the frontier positions, so that all the soldiers could participate in a battle in the shortest time, and then summarize their experiences well.
Just as Wang Mingyu was inspecting, a buzzing sound came from the distant sky. Wang Mingyu's face changed: Immediately pull the air defense alarm. Although the air defense alarm at this time is a bit different from the ones in later generations, the difference is not very big. Because he had practiced this air defense alarm with County Mayor Zhang of Tongcheng before, basically everyone in the city knows the role of such an alarm.
After Zhang Deen sounded the air defense alarm in the city, the entire Tongcheng began to avoid Japanese fighter jets. Many people hid in the tunnel they dug. Some people didn't have time to go home. They also hid in the air defense fortifications provided by the 318th Army. The entire Tongcheng completed all this in an orderly manner. If there was no drill or explanation in advance, what would it look like now?
Hashimoto was driving his own fighter plane and looked at Tongcheng in the distance. A smile appeared on his mouth. The plane kept approaching Tongcheng. Hashimoto looked at the many fortifications on the city gate below and deliberately bypassed them. You should know that these people were still threatening. They shot casually. If they hit the fuel tank or something, the entire plane would have to explain it here.
The plane was hovering in the sky, and Hashimoto felt like a great god who controlled the life and death of others. Looking down at the low altitude, the crowds running around in a panic and rushing into the Tongcheng area, several planes were looking for their targets. After all, bombing civilians was the last thing to do, or as a Hashimoto's entertainment project, their first priority is to find their target, the command and logistics supply base of the Chinese army.
At this moment, Hashimoto was not worried about anything that could threaten them. They had almost never encountered any threat along the way. Even the Chinese army's air force was a piece of cake for them. Compared with the aircraft of the Great Japanese Empire, the Chinese army was at a disadvantage in any aspect. Looking at the headquarters of the 318th Army with the flag of the 318th Army, Hashimoto rushed there with a smile, and the remaining aircraft followed closely in the air.
Little did they know that there were dozens of anti-aircraft guns aiming at them not far away, but the anti-aircraft guns at this moment were used by brothers of the artillery regiment, and they had never used this thing. Thinking that the principle of this thing is similar to that of a mortar or something is actually similar, but the requirements of an anti-aircraft gun are relatively higher, and the accuracy and prediction ability are stronger.
However, the targets of the six aircraft were obviously very large. Hashimoto hovered at the low altitude for a while and began to prepare to aim at the target and put explosives. Suddenly, Hashimoto heard a few loud noises. The loud noise that could still be heard in such a high altitude must be the sound of an explosion or a shell. Hashimoto's face turned pale when he looked down at him.
If others don’t know the anti-aircraft guns, it’s fine. As fighter pilots, if they don’t even know this, they can commit suicide. Hashimoto was panicked and wondered why the Chinese army equipped these anti-aircraft guns. Anti-aircraft guns are their mortal enemies. Hashimoto felt that this operation seemed to be no longer under his control.
:Continue to ask for flowers, brothers who don’t have a collection to collect it, haha
