Zhang Zizhong and Liu Ruming looked up at the same time when they heard this. At this time, the Tiger Army fighter planes that had just arrived had already flew over their heads and rushed towards the Japanese planes that were bombing a group of armored groups.

The Japanese plane, which was showing off its power and unscrupulously bombing and strafing the Tiger Army tanks, was shocked by the sudden appearance of Chinese fighter jets. Therefore, the Japanese pilots received strict orders from their commander Tokugawa Hoshito before departure. Once they encountered Chinese fighter jets, they had to evacuate immediately.

Because Tokugawa Yotoshi knew that the performance of the fighter aircraft equipped by the Tiger Army at this time was completely better than that of the various fighter aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Army in all aspects. If it were not for the emergency situation in North China, Tokugawa Yotoshi would not even be prepared to lead his flight corps to participate in the battle. Now Tokugawa Yotoshi has proposed to the base camp to develop a new fighter. However, since the Japanese army does not have detailed information on the Tiger Army fighter jets and the time is still short, it is still a long time to develop a new fighter jet.

This time, the Japanese's good discipline and strictness were fully certified. When all Japanese aircraft discovered the Hu Ben Army fighter jets, they all turned around and ran away. The fighter even left the bomber with a slightly slower flight speed and flew away alone.

The pilots of the flight regiment were flying dozens of bf109 fighter jets and bit the slow-flying Japanese bombers. The bombers without the cover of fighter jets were vulnerable in front of local fighters. Moreover, they were facing BF109s that were more advanced than them. Soon, more than ten Japanese bombers were destroyed and shot down one after another.

At the same time, the pilots of the flight regiment did not give up, but suddenly accelerated the fighter planes and chased the Japanese fighter group that was the first to escape.

At this moment, the bf109 fighter was extremely fast and fully exerted. The Japanese fastest fighter, the Type 95 fighter, was only more than 400 kilometers per hour, while the bf109 was nearly 700 kilometers, and both sides were not on the same level at all.

Soon, the Huben Army fighter group caught up with the Japanese fighter group composed of more than 20 Japanese fighter jets such as the ** and 95. About ten minutes later, this air battle ended without any suspense with the victory of the Huben Army fighter jet group. More than 20 Japanese fighter jets were all destroyed, while the Huben Army fighter jet group suffered no losses.

After so many days of practical training, the pilots of the Hu Ben Army have been able to master their landlines and can also exert the capabilities of the BF109 to a greater extent. Therefore, it will be much easier to deal with Japanese aircraft that are far behind their own in all aspects of performance.

When Tokugawa Yotoshi, commander of the Japanese North China Front Flight Corps who were far away in Qingdao, learned that the two aviation squadrons he sent were wiped out, he immediately vomited blood and fainted. After waking up, he never agreed to send a fighter plane to assist the ground troops in fighting the Hu Ben Army. As the first Japanese pilot to fly into the sky, Tokugawa Yotoshi was very clear that before the empire developed more advanced fighter jets, the existing models of fighter jets could not compete with the Hu Ben Army's fighter jets.

He believes that there is no need to send a large number of excellent imperial pilots into the tiger's mouth when he knows the failure. Of course, this is all a story later.

When the Hu Ben Army fighter fleet solved the Japanese fighter fleet, the subsequent bomber fleet also rushed to the sky above the Xiangcheng battlefield without any stop. Then they began to bomb the Japanese positions.

It turned out that while the Japanese artillery was stopped, the commander of the flight regiment Gao Xiang sent a mixed aircraft group to reinforce Xiangcheng front line. However, when the Xiangcheng radar station detected that a Japanese aircraft group was approaching, Gao Xiang decisively ordered the fighter aircraft group to leave the mixed aircraft group and rush to the Xiangcheng battlefield first.

The bomber group with a slightly slower speed rushed to the scene.

The bomber group had just begun to bomb, and the fighter group pursuing the Japanese aircraft group roared back. Dozens of fighter planes and bombers began to attack the Fifth Division of the North Shore, artillery positions and ground attack troops began to bombard the North Shore Fifth Division.

The battlefield situation completely reversed in less than twenty minutes. The full-strength attack of Shiro Banheng's long-awaited attack was easily disintegrated by the Tiger Army.

About half an hour later, the Hu Ben Army's mixed aircraft group finally stopped bombing and dive strafing, and began to return in a swagger. The sky was looking at the ground, and the entire north bank of the Xinbian River was filled with thick smoke. Fires filled, and the Japanese army's corpses were everywhere.

In the front line command of the Fifth Division, the division commander of the division, Shiro Banhenghou, saw that the attack he was bound to end in failure, could not help but be stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses and roared in anger: "Bageya Road, what do our aviation soldiers do for? All the food is bargain!"

Chief of staff Takeshi Sakurada lowered his head with a ugly face and said softly: "General, the aviation army has done its best. Today's battle has once again proved that the existing fighter jets of the Imperial Army can no longer compete with the fighter jets of the Tiger Army. Bei Zhi feels that the Empire must develop new fighter jets."

Shiro Benqiong was silent when he heard this. How could he not understand the situation today? He knew that Takeshi Sakurada was saying all the facts. At this stage, the fighter jets equipped by the Imperial Army were indeed unable to compete with the advanced fighter jets of Qiao Anbang Hu Ben Army. However, developing new fighter jets is the task of local developers. He currently has only one purpose, which is to capture the position of the Tiger Army on the other side, open up the lifeline with the 20th Division, and then win the victory of this battle.

After pondering for a moment, Matsushiro Toshiro said to Takedo Sakurada: "Sakurada, I will give you the order, and all troops will temporarily stop the attack."

"General, are we not attacking?" Takeshi Sakurada asked in confusion when he thought that the 20th Division might fall into the trap of the Tiger Army.

"Suspending the attack, the Chinese army has a strong air force during the day, so I decided to change the attack time to night, so this will not only cover the whereabouts of the offensive troops, but also prevent our artillery from being attacked by the Chinese Air Force." Banhengheng Seiro said with a cunning face.

"General, can we let the 108th or 109th Division detour towards Su Prefecture and enter the hinterland of the Huben Army base from Su Prefecture? Such detour can not only launch an attack on our face-to-face enemies from the rear of Xiangcheng, but also meet with the 20th Division. Although it takes some time, it is very beneficial to our army's next stage of combat!" Takeshi Sakurada thought for a while and suggested.

"Yoxi, that's it." Onoshita Seiro nodded happily and agreed.

………………………………………………………………

On the north bank of the Jiwo River, the 79th Infantry Regiment of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army had arrived here and had a fierce battle with the first garrison brigade guarding the south bank. Finally, with the full resistance of the garrison 1st garrison and militia units, the 79th Infantry Regiment failed and the two sides confronted each other across the river.

In Xiniumiao Village, about five kilometers away from the Wohe River, the commander of the 20th Division, Mitsuhara Niujima, led the division headquarters and its direct troops to arrive here through a rush marching and met with the 40th Brigade.

In the temporary division headquarters, Major General Ryoo, the brigade commander of the 40th Brigade, was lowering his head and reporting the battle situation to Niujima Mitsuka: "General, my 79th Infantry Regiment was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army in the Wohe River. Beizhi asked the division commander to send the artillery gang to provide artillery fire support to cover my offensive troops across the river."

"Yeah." Niujima Shichang nodded with displeasure. Judging from the situations he encountered during the march along the way, the entire Chi and Ji and the surrounding dozens of miles were deserted, and most of the Chinese civilians had already evacuated. Then the Hu Ben Army should have already withdrawn. Even if some of the troops behind the palace, Wen Huang Army should have fled in sight, so why would they still resist firmly in the Wohe River?

Seeing this, Liangfu of the last month quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Commander of the Division!" Then he turned around and left with a sabre carrying a staircase.

After watching Tsukiyo Yoshino leave last year, Mitsushima Niujima turned around and walked to the map, and began to frown and ponder. The Chief of Staff next to him seemed to have noticed a hint of uneasiness, but he couldn't think of something if he was anxious.

………………………………………………

Longshan Airport, the temporary headquarters of the Hu Ben Army.

Adjutant Liang Jiahan walked into the headquarters again with a telegram and reported to Qiao Anbang: "The military seat, the ** garrison brigade called to inform that the Japanese army had arrived at the Wohe River and attacked our south bank by a regiment, but was repelled by the first regiment."

"Call back to Xie Jinyuan. If the Japanese army attacks again, then immediately give up the position on the south bank of the Wohe River, withdraw the defense to Jiheji City, and lure the Japanese army to cross the Wohe River!" Qiao Anbang ordered in a deep voice. This was what he had thought long ago. Although the Wohe River is not a natural danger, if the 20th Division enters the south bank, it will definitely be sieged by the ** garrison brigade and the Huben Division. At that time, Niudao really wants to withdraw back to the north bank again, and even if he does not die, he will have to peel off his skin.

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan did not ask much, and responded, then turned around and left quickly.

…………………………………………………………

After receiving reinforcements from the artillery corps directly under the division, the 40th Brigade commander Ryofu, the 79th Infantry Regiment, personally commanded the 79th Infantry Regiment, under the cover of artillery fire, and launched an attack on the south bank again. What Ryofu expected last month was that the infantry corps' offense was surprisingly smooth.

Under the cover of our own artillery, the Hu Ben Army on the other side was unable to effectively suppress the crossing forces. When the 79th Infantry Regiment crossed the Wo River and rushed to the other side, it easily defeated the defenders on the other side and easily occupied their shore defense positions.

Overjoyed, Yoshio Sun Yue attributed the victory of this attack to his artillery. While commanding the 80th Infantry Regiment to cross the river and join the 79th Infantry Regiment, Yoshio Sun Yue hurriedly reported the battle situation to the division headquarters.
