Chapter 323 Air Force Goes to War
323 Air Force goes to battle
Ye Qingshan's counterattack schedule was set on the 23rd.
Ye Qingshan informed Zhou Pingkou, Sun Yuanliang, Hei Xiong and others one day in advance and asked them to make preparations in advance.
But other National Army units were still in the city, fighting a tug-of-war with the Japanese attacking divisions as usual.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, at the Japanese front-line airport.
Forty-five newly arrived fighter planes, as well as the three fighter planes that were damaged and repaired by the Third Flying Regiment.
Prepare to take off and bomb the national army defending in Nanjing City.
"Fujiwara-kun, be careful.
The Chinese in the city may have anti-aircraft guns."
The commander of the Japanese Third Flying Regiment, Chiga Tadashi, warned Colonel Fujiwara who was leading his troops.
"Hey, don't worry, General.
We will pay attention.”
On the surface, Colonel Fujiwara took the Japanese major general's warning seriously.
But the moment he turned his head, his originally respectful expression was replaced by ridicule.
"A defeated general has the nerve to remind me."
Colonel Fujiwara despised Chika Tadaharu from the bottom of his heart.
They felt that people like Chikako Tadashi were a complete disgrace to their Imperial Army Air Force.
However, Colonel Fujiwara despised the Japanese major general.
However, they still cared a lot about the lesson learned from the Japanese Third Flying Regiment.
"The Chinese anti-aircraft guns, same thing.
I won’t go up again.”
Buzz!
Soon, one after another Japanese fighter planes took off on the runway.
The target is directly towards Jinling.
Just as the Japanese fighter planes took off.
The Japanese commander Tsukada Isao also received the news.
Immediately, he ordered all the Japanese divisions on the front line to launch an all-out attack.
“Tell the division commanders that our air force will soon fly over Jinling City to carry out bombing.
Let them launch a more fierce attack immediately.
Take advantage of this opportunity to break through the Chinese army's defense line in the city.
Defeat these damn Chinese troops.
I'm going to make them completely collapse."
The Japanese commander roared with a ferocious look.
This time, he finally saw the dawn of victory.
He wanted to end the Battle of Nanjing today, which should not have been delayed for so long.
At that time, he will let the old devil Matsui Iwane see what he, Matsui Iwane, cannot do.
He Tsukada can do it.
The old Japanese soldier Matsui Iwane's command ability in Japan is recognized to be very strong.
If he wins this battle, wouldn't it prove that Tsukada Isao's command ability is even better than Matsui Iwane's?
In the future, I will definitely be valued by Your Majesty and have a bright future.
The Japanese commander Tsukada Kou was already imagining a bright future career for himself.
"Devil aircraft group, hurry up.
Inform the commander."
At this time, at the main position of Zijin Mountain, a small team of 36 soldiers discovered the Japanese aircraft group appearing from the east.
Reported it to Song Xilian immediately.
Song Xilian sent another telegram to tell Ye Qingshan.
"The devil's fleet is coming?
OK!
Contact Luzhou Airport quickly, they are about to leave."
Ye Qingshan did not dare to delay and immediately notified Johnson to let their pilot take off.
"Sir, let us go into battle together."
At Luzhou Airport, Johnson and twenty retired British and American pilots quickly boarded the Hurricane fighter.
Then they took off one by one.
On the ground, a group of Kuomintang pilots surrounded a Kuomintang colonel.
Also applying to fight.
“Sir, this is on our land.
There are so many brothers on the Nanjing front line, fighting the Japanese.
Now, even these foreign devils flew out into the battle and fought desperately with the Japanese.
How can we be cowards? "
"That's right, we have to fight too."
A group of Kuomintang pilots were very excited.
"Okay, stop arguing.
I'll go ask for instructions."
The Kuomintang colonel went out to make a phone call and came back after a while.
He said to the pilots: "The superiors have agreed, you can go into battle."
"Ow!"
These Kuomintang pilots shouted excitedly.
"Quiet."
The National Army colonel raised his hand and continued, “You can go to the battle.
But remember, don't be too aggressive.
Follow these foreign fighter planes and learn from them how to fight in air combat.
This is a rare opportunity for actual practice.
Do you remember them all?"
"Yes!"
The top leaders of the National Army finally agreed to let these pilots go into battle.
The main purpose is to train and cultivate these national army pilots.
After all, most of these national army pilots are novices and they need to experience actual combat.
Otherwise, they will never grow up.
Before, the top military leaders did not allow them to fight.
Because they knew that they could rely on these new pilots to take off and face the Japanese fighter planes alone.
Most of the time, they go but never come back.
But now, things are different.
The Japanese's twenty Hurricane fighters rushed to the front and acted as the main force to fight against the Japanese fighter planes.
The pressure on these pilots of the National Army is not that great.
Soon, twelve Kuomintang fighter planes also took off one after another.
Together with the twenty Hurricane fighters that had taken off earlier, they formed two combat formations.
Flying towards the Jinling front line.
At around 2:30 in the afternoon, a fleet of Japanese planes flew over Nanjing.
The huge roar of the engine also attracted the attention of many national army soldiers below.
"Oh no, it's a group of Japanese aircraft.
The Japs' fleet is back again."
Many National Army soldiers showed expressions of fear after seeing the new group of Japanese aircraft appearing in the sky.
They have not forgotten at all what happened before the Japanese Third Flying Regiment was crippled.
The Japanese would send groups of bombers to bomb them over Nanjing every day.
I don’t know how many national army soldiers were killed by the bombs dropped by the Japanese.
"Everyone take cover."
Some of the National Army officers below have already taken their soldiers to prepare for the Japanese bombing.
But the terrible thing is that the attacks by the various divisions of the Japanese devils were also underway at this moment.
"Brothers, hold on."
As a result, most of the National Army soldiers could only ignore the Japanese bombers in the sky.
Defend with all your strength and don't give the Japanese attacking forces any chance to break through the defense line.
"吆西!
Damn China pigs, prepare to face the wrath of the empire."
Colonel Fujiwara personally piloted a bomber, staring at the Jinling City ahead with a grim smile.
Then, he gestured to the fighter planes piloted by the other two squadron leaders in the left and right directions.
Immediately, the Japanese aircraft group quickly divided into three teams in the sky.
They began to dive towards the Jinling City below, preparing to drop bombs.
Whizzing!
One bomb after another was dropped by the Japanese dive bombers.
Rumble!
In Jinling City, many places were directly covered by the explosion.
"Haha, Yoshi!
Just explode like that.
I want to see how long these Chinese pigs in the city can last.
No one can survive such a heavy bombardment."
The Japanese Colonel Fujiwara became more and more excited as he looked down at the city area that he had bombed into a sea of fire.
But he didn't know that at this moment, there were two fleets of planes flying rapidly towards him from the west of Jinling City.
(It seems like I haven’t asked for a small gift for a long time, please give me a small gift!!)
