Chapter 467 We must teach the Japanese a lesson, so that they won’t be thinking about us every day!
"College student, I have been very busy these days, and now I have become a qualified pilot. I plan to fly a fighter jet myself tomorrow morning to help Chu Yunfei, and at the same time show our strength to the Japanese. Since this battle is unavoidable, let's fight it out!"
"We must take advantage of the opportunity before the Japanese air force launches an attack and teach them a lesson, so that they know we are not easy to bully. I think we should launch an air raid on the Japanese airport tomorrow and blow up the airport on the front line. This will be very helpful for us to defend the bunkers and fortresses." Li Yunlong drew three circles on the map and proposed excitedly.
Lin Zhenhua glanced at the map. The three circles were exactly the locations of the three front-line airports of the Japanese. They were only more than 100 kilometers away from the base and could reach the airspace above the base in half an hour. The threat to the base was too great.
"Old Li, I agree with your proposal. We should teach the devils a lesson. The devils have made such a big fuss, which has had a great impact on the morale of the troops in our base. We must use a big victory to boost the morale of the troops."
"I have decided to dispatch hundreds of fighter planes tomorrow to launch a strike against the enemy's frontline airport. If we don't take action, it's fine. But if we do, we must be ruthless. I originally planned to dispatch a rocket artillery battalion at night to launch a round of salvos on the enemy in the camp, but the minefields we deployed before are too dense and the danger level is too high. As a last resort, I have to give up this idea."
"Leave the defense of the front line to Zhang Dabiao. We will rush back to Maoershan Airport tonight. Before launching this bombing operation, we must keep it absolutely confidential. Even Chu Yunfei cannot be informed in advance. When we fly over the position, we will notify Chu Yunfei. With our air support, even if Chu Yunfei cannot drive away the Yamada Brigade, he can at least ensure self-protection."
Li Yunlong immediately called Zhang Dabiao over and gave him instructions, then he and Lin Zhenhua hurriedly left Fortress No. 1 and took two armored vehicles to Maoershan Airport. After arriving at Maoershan Airport, Lin Zhenhua immediately ordered the pilots to assemble, while Li Yunlong watched the fighter planes load fuel and ammunition.
"Everyone, you should have heard about the situation in the outside world. Our base was surrounded by heavy enemy troops. The entire base has been tightly blocked by the enemy, and it is impossible to exchange personnel and materials with the outside world. This caused panic in our base, but fortunately the enemy has not taken action so far, and the panic has subsided."
"In order to boost the morale of the army, I decided to launch an airstrike on the enemy's base. The goal is to strike down the enemy's arrogance and also to buy time. Our arsenal has been working overtime these days. If we delay for one more day, our reserves will be more sufficient. If we want to make the enemy behave, we can only send out the air force battalion to teach them a lesson and let them know that we are not easy to mess with."
After Lin Zhenhua gave a few instructions, he asked the pilots to go back to the dormitory to rest and prepare for the attack at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. After Li Yunlong finished his work at the airport, he went to the pilot dormitory to rest. At 4:30 in the morning of the next day, everyone got up and had breakfast. After a busy period, it was already 5:30 in the morning.
With only half an hour left before the attack, the pilots began to board the planes one by one. Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua were both flying Thunderhawk fighters. After the second improvement, the twin-engine Thunderhawk fighter had a 5% increase in power, a km/h increase in speed, and a significant increase in defense.
"All aircraft, take off immediately. You must form an air formation before 6:10 and carry out the bombing of the Japanese airport according to the mission I just assigned."
At Lin Zhenhua's command, hundreds of fighter jets began to taxi on the runway one after another. Half an hour later, the fighter jets successfully completed their formation over the Maoershan Airport and flew towards their respective mission targets.
Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua led a bomber squadron, a fighter squadron, and a ground attack aircraft squadron to carry out air support missions for the 358th Regiment.
When they were only ten minutes away from Shentouling, Li Yunlong immediately contacted Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei was very excited when he heard the news. He did not expect that Li Yunlong would personally fly a plane to provide reinforcements, which really shocked him.
"Brother Ligong, immediately order the 7th, 10th, 358th, th, and th Battalions to prepare for the attack and launch an attack on the Yamada Brigade at :. The st and nd Armored Companies should also not sit idle and conduct a roundabout way to outflank the Japanese. I want to have a good fight with the Yamada Brigade today and let the Japanese know how powerful our th Regiment is."
Chu Yunfei planned to swallow up the Yamada Brigade in one fell swoop. He even mobilized his artillery battalion, leaving no way out. He also mobilized the two fighter squadrons that Li Yunlong had previously supported, preparing to make a decisive battle and widen the Japanese defense gap again.
The news that Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua were flying was soon known to Zhao Gang and others, but the matter was done, and their anger was useless. The news that the independent regiment's air force battalion was dispatched was soon known to the Japanese, and the Sato Aviation Division, which had been on standby, quickly dispatched fighters to intercept.
"General, we have dispatched three fighter squadrons to intercept them. We will definitely teach the Independent Regiment Air Force a lesson and let them know that the air supremacy in northwest Shanxi has always been in our hands. Just now, Commander Yamada sent a telegram for help, asking us to send a bomber squadron to bomb the Shentouling position. Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment attacked the Yamada Brigade last night..."
Before his men could finish their words, Sato Ichiro said angrily, "The 358th Regiment is not our combat target at all. There is no need to provoke them. Our most important task now is to eliminate the Independent Regiment's Air Force Battalion. Send out all the bombers we can to launch an air strike on the Independent Regiment's base. We must make them be careful of the Independent Regiment's anti-aircraft firepower and increase the bombing altitude to four kilometers. Only in this way can we guarantee safety to the greatest extent."
"The Empire's fuel and ammunition are extremely valuable. It is not worth using them to bomb mountainous areas. Please report my opinion directly to the Taiyuan Command. I believe that the Commander will understand my intentions."
Shinozuka Yoshio, who was busy in the Taiyuan headquarters, saw the telegram sent by Sato Ichiro and said in a worried tone: "Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment actually took the initiative to launch an attack? Something is not right. Logically speaking, Chu Yunfei can't be so brave. Who gave him such confidence? It definitely wasn't Li Yunlong!"
"Chief of Staff Mitsui, please investigate the Jinsui Army immediately. I need to know what the Jinsui Army has been doing these days."
Mitsui Ippei took on the task and hastily arranged for someone to investigate the matter. The entire Taiyuan headquarters was busy, and a sudden air battle was about to take place without anyone being prepared.
At 7:08 a.m., Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua arrived at the battlefield two minutes ahead of schedule. After observing the situation on the battlefield, Li Yunlong said solemnly, "College students, the Japanese are very cunning and hide very well. If we don't lower the altitude to bomb, it won't have much effect."
Lin Zhenhua took a look at the situation below and was looking for a breakthrough point. He didn't want to let the bomber descend to an altitude of one or two thousand meters to drop bombs, as that would be too dangerous.
"Lao Zhao, you lead the fighter squadron to deal with the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, and I will command the ground attack squadron to launch a strike against the Japanese camp. As for the bomber squadron, it will be used to cut off the Japanese retreat and focus on attacking the Japanese positions. After the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower is eliminated, I will arrange for the bomber squadron to drop bombs."
Li Yunlong did not refute Lin Zhenhua's arrangement. He was not good at commanding air combat and was still learning. He immediately followed Lin Zhenhua's order and led the Thunder Fighter Squadron to launch a strike against the Yamada Brigade.
The Yamada Brigade, which had just finished breakfast, never expected that Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua would come to support in person. After seeing more than 20 enemy planes attacking in the sky, they immediately began anti-aircraft shooting.
"General, the number of enemy planes is more than we expected. It is certain that these enemy planes are from the independent regiment. We should ask the headquarters for help as soon as possible, otherwise our brigade is likely to suffer heavy losses." Shiraishi Ichiro suggested in fear.
There was also a trace of fear on Major General Yamada's face. The firepower of the ground attack aircraft was really too strong. The bullets from the light and heavy machine guns could only tickle it, but could not break its defense at all.
"Damn it! Let the warriors launch a counterattack immediately and intertwine with the 358th Regiment. Only in this way can we avoid the strafing from the air. Also, immediately ask for help from the Taiyuan Command and request a tactical shift to help us resist the threat of the enemy's aviation force!"
Major General Yamada now had no choice but to abandon his position and launch a counterattack against the 358th Regiment, trying to eliminate the threat from the air through close combat.
"College student, the damn Japanese are very clever and are about to intertwine with the attacking force of the 358th Regiment. We must quickly notify Chu Yunfei and ask him to withdraw the troops, otherwise the 358th Regiment will suffer heavy losses."
Li Yunlong's vision was very sharp. Like the independent regiment, the 358th Regiment was mostly composed of new recruits, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. If they really engaged in close combat with the devils, they would definitely suffer a great loss. What Chu Yunfei should do is to use the firepower advantage in his hands, adopt flexible tactics, and greatly consume the devil's manpower. This is the correct approach.
