The Air Force has always been the nemesis of the armored forces. As the commander of the Japanese Lieutenant General Division, Man Niujima naturally knew this truth.

Seeing Niushimama shouting like this, the Japanese officers around him suddenly looked lit up and thought to himself that it would be a very wonderful thing to be able to dispatch planes to destroy the Chinese army's chariot group. So a Japanese major went to send a report excitedly and requested the plane's support.

far away.

The soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield. After one or two hours of cleaning, basically the weapons and equipment on the ground were collected, truck after truckloads, some large trucks loaded with spoils, had even begun to leave first and head for Shannan County.

The Japanese army's corpses on the ground were also piled up by the soldiers, piles of corpses, were poured with gasoline by the soldiers and burned. The thick black smoke produced by the burning was at least hundreds of meters high and could be seen even from a distance.

Shannan County.

At the Independent Brigade Command, Ye Feng has received a report from the radar station. The newly built early warning radar station has monitored about dozens of aircraft, which have taken off from Shanghai Airport and are flying towards Hangzhou.

After receiving the report, Ye Feng immediately knew that these Japanese planes must have come to his own tank regiment.

"Haha, it's a good time, the Japanese have made a fool of themselves this time." Guo Weiquan next to him shouted excitedly.

Ye Feng also laughed, "The Japanese army must have thought that our tank regiment was almost out of ammunition and gas, so they wanted to dispatch the plane to take the opportunity to get a big advantage."

"You are still smart at the voyage. The Japanese never expected that our dozens of trucks were loaded out of the city, and the tanks were already full of fuel."

Chu Tianyuan said it was completely correct. It was dawn, and dozens of large trucks were loaded with ammunition and fuel out of the east defense line, replenishing ammunition and fuel for nearly 200 tanks of the tank regiment.

"Send a report to Sun Yougen, the Tank Regiment, telling them that the Japanese planes have arrived in large numbers, ordering them to prepare for air defense, and ordering the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield in the west of Hangzhou to retreat quickly."

****

West of Hangzhou City.

After receiving Ye Feng's order, hundreds of soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield immediately drove to retreat.

The tank regiment has also received the order. At this time, it is changing its formation and preparing for air defense. One anti-aircraft machine gun at one point and a straight anti-aircraft machine gun began to aim at the sky. Many soldiers began to stare at the distant sky, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army fleet.

As for Niudaoman, he has not returned to the city yet, and is still holding a telescope and looking at the tank group in the distance. Niudaoman wants to see with his own eyes the group of Chinese chariots destroyed by the plane.

However, Niujimaman soon discovered that the Chinese tank group, which had originally maintained a tight formation, was changing its formation. If it were a professional, it would soon find that this was an air defense formation, and the air defense battalion had protected the entire tank regiment.

Although he had only a slight understanding of the command and combat of the armored troops, as a Japanese lieutenant general, Niujima Man still saw some abnormalities and felt a little wrong in his heart.

The Japanese officers next to him also saw the movement of the tank regiment through the telescope. One of the Japanese colonels even said: "Secretary Commander, the Chinese chariot group in the distance is maneuvering. What are they trying to do?"

However, before Niujima Man had time to answer, the roar of the plane came from the distant sky. The weather was sunny today, with high visibility and a long view.

Hearing the roar of the plane, many Japanese officers held their telescopes and looked in the direction where the sound came. They saw a large number of black dots rushing towards the west of Hangzhou City in the distance.

"His division commander, our fleet is here." A Japanese officer was extremely surprised and immediately shouted happily.

"Your Excellency the division commander, this Chinese chariot group is dead." Another Japanese officer also shouted at this time.

...

These Japanese officers, whenever you say or I say, look very happy, almost all smiles, and they swept away the ugly faces they had not long ago.

The Japanese division commander Mitsushima Niujima saw that so many planes came over, and the little bit of uneasiness in his heart disappeared. So many planes came over, even if this Chinese chariot group changed its tactics, so what?

This is a large Japanese aircraft formation, with a total of 24 bombers and 12 fighter aircraft formations. At present, these aircraft are lowering their altitude and coming directly toward the west of Hangzhou City.

As the Japanese aircraft group got closer, everyone could see more clearly. The soldiers of the tank regiment were staring at the Japanese aircraft group, and they would open fire on the Japanese aircraft plane just after their commander gave the order.

The tank leader Sun Yougen was also staring at the Japanese aircraft group. Seeing that the Japanese aircraft group would immediately enter the firepower range of the air defense battalion. Sun Yougen picked up his radio microphone and shouted: "Let's fire for me!!!"

Suddenly, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Air Defense Battalion opened fire on the Japanese fleet. The Japanese fleet had a flight altitude of absolutely within one thousand meters at this time, and the flight altitude of some bombers was even lower. Obviously, these Japanese bombers were preparing to drop bombs.

Niujima Manta told Matsui Ishien that the Chinese chariot group outside Hangzhou had been fighting for a whole night and had basically been completely out of ammunition, so these Japanese planes rushed over without restraint.

These Japanese planes were too careless and had too low altitude.

"Ka, da, da..."

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns of the Air Defense Battalion fired together, and the firepower was fully opened. They shot fiercely at the Japanese group of aircraft. The soldiers didn't care about ammunition at all. These anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were basically two-unit and had fierce firepower.

With so many air defense weapons being fired, a huge firepower net was formed instantly, and dense bullets were intertwined in the sky, and the Japanese army's fleet rushed into this huge and dense firepower net.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Suddenly, several Japanese fighter jets were directly exploded by this terrifying firepower, and exploded into a huge fireball in the sky. The entire plane was blown into pieces, and pieces of plane wreckage fell down with flames or dragged smoke.

In addition to the explosion of several smaller Japanese fighter jets, even larger Japanese bombers were hit by many bombers in a short period of time.

These bombers are much larger than fighter jets and have a much larger area of ​​shots. There are even two or three bombers that are already filled with smoke and are shaking.

The Japanese pilots were greatly surprised by such a violent blow. Seeing that their fleet was shot and even several planes were destroyed, these Japanese pilots woke up as if they were dreaming.

A Japanese major was startled when he saw that his plane was already filled with smoke in a bomber. He immediately shouted anxiously, ordering to lift it up, and as much as possible, hoping to escape from the firepower network of the Chinese tank group.

However, for a bomber, it is not possible to increase the flight altitude immediately. The relatively large bomber has poor maneuverability. Several Japanese pilots flying this aircraft had a clear shock before they saw their plane lifting up.

The Japanese Air Force Major saw through the porthole of the plane that one of his wings had been almost interrupted, and the engine on the wings had already flowed out thick smoke. The rotating propeller actually stopped after turning a few times and fell down.

Obviously, several anti-aircraft machine gun shells hit the wings of the Japanese bomber, and even hit the engines on the wings directly.

"Baga!"

The Japanese sergeant screamed in tragic tragedy, the engine was scrapped, the plane circled in the air and rolled, and fell head-on to the ground. When it hit the ground, it also exploded violently, and was blown into a pile of wreckage.

In addition to this Japanese bomber, there were many Japanese bombers destroyed in a short period of time, at least several, and some Japanese bombers were shot down before they could almost be prepared to drop bombs.

"Blow me hard!!!"

Seeing that the soldiers shot down so many Japanese planes in a short time, Sun Yougen shouted excitedly and shouted loudly at the microphone inside his command car.

The soldiers' shooting never stopped. Often, one bullet link was finished and a new bullet link was quickly replaced, and continued to shoot at the Japanese fleet. One plane after another was shot down by the soldiers.

The Japanese planes in the sky were completely shrouded in this huge firepower net. Many Japanese planes in the firepower net were shot one after another and dragged thick smoke to the ground.

"Baga!!!"

Niujima Man couldn't believe how such a scene happened? Dozens of planes that were coming from the front were shot down more than a dozen in just a few minutes. No wonder Niujima Man almost roared.

Niu Dao's face turned pale when he threw his telescope to the ground.

The Japanese officers around were originally happy and smiling, but the development of the situation was much beyond the expectations of these Japanese officers. Suddenly, the smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly. Some Japanese officers even had incredible expressions, their mouths opened wide and looked blankly at the sky in the distance.

"Secretary Commander, what should we do?"

Seeing that his entire army was destroyed, a Japanese officer screamed in tragic tragedy.

Niujima Mitsuki looked at the sky unbearably, then waved his hand and said sadly: "Send a report to the Commander-in-Chief Matsui to report on the situation!"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese officers' heads were lowered and silent, which was obviously a big blow. Only one Japanese colonel hesitated for a long time before he was dark and prepared to convey Niushima's orders and send a report to Matsui Ishikone.

"Grand Commander, retreat quickly. Look, there are many Chinese tank groups coming towards us." A Japanese officer immediately screamed in horror when he saw the Chinese tank regiment in the distance as if there were signs of coming towards us.

He took the telescope of a Japanese officer next to him. Niujimaman held the telescope and looked into the distance. Sure enough, many tanks in the distance turned their muzzles, as if they were aiming at Niujimaman's location. Although the distance was very far, seeing so many muzzles facing him, Niujimaman felt chills on his back.

Niu Dao thought to himself, is it difficult to hit them and they will shoot themselves?
