Chapter 242 The rapid turn of the defense of Nanjing 2

At this moment, Peng Mengji walked indifferently on the fortress full of large and small craters. The huge crater left by the military's heavy bombs was still smoking. The broken limbs and broken arms on the edge of the crater and the broken parts nearby showed that a Swedish-made Fords 20-mm four-bump anti-aircraft gun had been deployed here before. At this moment, this four The 20mm anti-aircraft gun has been torn apart with its eight members of the artillery squad.

Peng Mengji looked at this large crater with a diameter of nearly three meters, recalling the shaking of the sky and the earth during the battle, and the columns of smoke rising dozens of meters high. He said that he seemed to be staring at the Yanziji Fort and insisted on putting himself in a dead place to stop it. Therefore, in order to prevent the Japanese army from killing a horse gun, Peng Mengji immediately ordered a hidden state. The German-made 150mm heavy howitzers, 105mm howitzers and 75mm field artillery troops immediately transferred their positions and were on standby, and anyone who exposed the target was executed on the spot.

In a mess everywhere, the officers and soldiers cleaned up the remains of their fellow robes. The battle an hour ago caused heavy losses to Yanziji Fortress, because the Japanese army's fleet failed to achieve the tactical purpose of destroying the Chinese fleet on the ground, so they took the naval ships on the river and Yanziji Fortress as the first priority. The bombing target, because since the beginning of the war, the Japanese army's intention to envelge the back road of Qixia Mountain Fortress, or attack the front line of Zijin Mountain, will be bombarded by fierce artillery from the Yanziji Fort, and the Japanese army's expulsion fleet has also been immersed in Yanziji, so I said that when the air raid plan was formulated, I put Yanziji It is clearly marked clearly with a red circle.

Therefore, after this military aircraft raid on the main force of the Chinese Air Force failed to fight, it took the Yanziji Fort as one of the key offensive targets. It happened that the Chinese naval ships were also in defense, which also made the Japanese army more aware of the important surname of the Yanziji Fort to the Chinese defenders, which was originally included in the scope of the attack target. Longshan Fortress was only hit by more than a dozen bombs.

Peng Mengji is actively adjusting the deployment to fight against large-scale air strikes with ground firepower, and its losses will be very heavy. Although Peng Mengji had a certain psychological preparation before, the serious casualties suffered by the troops were still beyond Peng Mengji's expectations and psychological preparation.

Sure enough, four hours after the first round of air strikes, the military fleet once again rushed over Nanjing. In the sad alarm, Gao Zhihang led the last 22 BF-109F multi-purpose fighters of the Rehe Air Force to take off. Gao Zhihang hung a little jade Buddha tied with a red rope in the cabin. Looking at Xiaoyu Buddha Gao Zhihang with a gratified smile, there were no less than 300 planes coming, and they only had 22 fighters to fight in the air.

I'm afraid this is also the last battle of the Rehe Air Force to reinforce Nanjing. Familiar faces appeared in front of Gao Zhihang. During the battle in Nanjing, the 75 BF-109F multi-purpose fighters equipped by the Rehe Air Force lost six due to mechanical failures, and the remaining 47 were said to the army. After the shooting down, thirty-one pilots stained the sky with blood.

Gao Zhihang made it clear that the last battle of the Rehe Air Force represents the heroic struggle of the Chinese Air Force against the strong enemy! The soul of the Chinese Air Force will always be with the blue sky of the motherland.

Twenty-two BF-109F multi-purpose fighters belonging to the Rehe Legion Air Force Flying Tigers were all launched. Under the command of the leader Gao Zhihang, the fleet began to climb, using the clouds to hide and raid the military fighters from high altitude, which is more conducive to playing BF-109. The surname of F multi-purpose fighter is Neng.

Colonel Tozawa Kobayashi, then the commander of the special third wing of the Army Air Force, commanded by the Type 96 attack aircraft and Type 97 attack aircraft guarded the core of the battle. Sixty-seven precious Type 97 heavy explosions, and a large group of Type 89 double-winged bombers from North China, forming a large three. One hundred and seventeen huge attack aircraft, although the Chinese Air Force severely damaged many warships and aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy in the first wave of air raids, it failed to sink any of the large surface ships of the Japanese army due to the lack of necessary effective ammunition, and only obtained the sinking of the old heavy cruiser Yaeyama of the Japanese army. The result.

However, the Chinese Air Force has paid a considerable price for this. In the first wave of air strikes, the Japanese army destroyed almost all the field airports, so it is difficult for the Chinese air force to prepare and fight again immediately. The only possibility is to make continuous transitions. The second wave of Japanese army's attack aircraft seems very relaxed at this moment, and almost every Japanese army With a smile on his face, the pilot attacked the capital of China and suppressed and destroyed the heavy artillery of the Chinese army. Most of the BF-109F multi-purpose fighters of the Chinese army had been lost, and the rest were estimated to have been transferred for a long time. The remaining Hawker 3 and the N-15 and N-16 attack aircraft equipped by the Soviet Volunteer Aid China Air Force. Compared with the Type-six and Type-Seven attack aircraft, it does not occupy the absolute advantage of the Type-Sizeneng. The final victory of the battle for air power over Nanjing will belong to the Empire.

When the huge Japanese military aircraft arrived over Nanjing, only sporadic firepower on the ground blocked it, and there was no trace of black death over Nanjing in the past.

Two Type CER-6 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft guided the 97th heavy explosive aircraft group to start to several locations on the north bank of the river where there may be Chinese heavy artillery.

The rest of the Japanese fighters rushed to the set targets one after another, and even many attack aircraft joined the strafing on the ground. Twenty-two BF-109F multi-purpose fighters commanded by Gao Zhihang hovered over Nanjing waiting for the opportunity.

Sure enough, due to the sparse ground firepower, the military fighters began to dive unscrupulously. Gao Zhihang saw that the military fleet began to disperse, and the escort aircraft also began to turn into ground strafing attacks.

Gao Zhihang used radio to call all fighters to focus on the clumsy Type 97 heavy explosion of the Japanese army. This kind of heavy bomber equipped with the Japanese army brought the most damage to the ground troops, so the first attack was the Japanese army's Type 97 heavy explosion group.

The BF-109F multi-purpose fighter roaring down from the air began to accelerate the dive. Gao Zhihang firmly trapped a Type 97 heavy explosion with the tail number 131 with the cross cross front sight on the aiming board. Gao Zhihang kept gently tapped the shooting button, and the actual continuous shooting in air combat was rare. Because the storage of aircraft machine guns is very limited, most experienced pilots calculate and estimate the amount in advance and use point-fire to attack enemy aircraft. One is to save ammunition, and the other is to improve the shooting hit rate.

Under the continuous shooting of Gao Zhihang, the two engines of the Japanese Army's Type 97 suddenly emitted thick smoke and stopped in the air. The Japanese bomber suddenly lost power rolled into the tail spin state, roaring to the ground with black smoke.

The first round of attack of 22 BF-109F multi-purpose fighters that suddenly rushed out of the clouds knocked down as many as seven Type 97 heavy explosions of the Japanese army. The panicked Japanese military aircraft bombed the nest like a frightened flock of birds, and they were still wantonly shooting ground targets before. The Japanese military escort fighters hurriedly pulled up and turned back.

The ground-to-air entanglement of the BF-109F multi-purpose fighter is actually not very good. The Flying Tigers who clearly understand this point are not entangled with the Japanese military fighters at low altitude at all. After completing the attack, they quickly pull up. In terms of climbing and turning radius, the Japanese army's Type 99 and Type 97 attack aircraft It is not the opponent of BF-109F at all. These BF-109F multi-purpose fighters, known as Black Death, are all flying in two-aircraft formations.

The four fighters of the two groups provided cover for each other. The long aircraft and the wingman used radio to communicate with each other, using the classic two-group cooperation tactics. Although the Japanese fighters occupied an absolute numerical advantage, they were still caught off guard by the Flying Tigers hiding in the high-altitude clouds.

The panic of the Japanese army was only short-lived. Although the tactics of the Flying Tigers were used very properly, from time to time, the Japanese army's fighters were hit with thick smoke, or exploded directly in the air.

Many Chinese officers and soldiers in Nanjing even walked out of the bunker, and even the offensive of the Japanese army stopped. The two officers and soldiers were looking at the sky with their necks high. Whenever a Japanese army's fighter plane was hit, the Chinese soldiers on the garrison's position would burst into a burst of cheers. Whenever a Flying Tigers fighter plane was hit, Chinese soldiers The soldiers will grit their teeth and curse the words that they can't die.

Because, the Chinese officers and soldiers on the position have been notified by the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison. During the transition of the air force, the fortresses, forts and defense lines in Nanjing will lose air support, the troops will implement air defense preparations, and the heavy artillery forces will be scattered and concealed.

However, I didn't expect that when the Japanese military aircraft group attacked, the remnants of the Flying Tigers of the Rehe Army bravely attacked the Japanese army's huge fleet with more than 20 fighters, and also shot down dozens of Japanese military aircraft. For a time, the airplanes in Nanjing City flew, and the tray bomb cut through the sky with obvious ballistics.

Gao Zhihang is being bitten to death by three Japanese warplanes at this moment. His wingman has long been shot down, and two fighters of a team he cooperated with him have also been shot down. Gao Zhihang, who fought alone, still tenaciously shot down two Type 97 heavy explosions in a row. The loss of Type 97 heavy explosions over Nanjing, which I regarded as a treasure, has been It is greatly beyond my own tolerance.

The rest of the Type 97 heavy explosions discarded bombs one after another, and then began to climb out of the war zone and return. They said that they were not Americans, and they could not afford to lose because of their narrow land and scarce resources.

Gao Zhihang seized the opportunity to step on the throttle valve and made a false action of climbing. The following plane was suddenly fooled and followed one after another, because the speed of the fighter will slow down when climbing, and its flexible mobility will be reduced to the minimum.

When Gao Zhihang found that the following plane was fooled, he immediately reduced the throttle valve to the minimum. The plane suddenly turned and dived down and bit the tail of a Japanese Type 9-6 carrier-based attack aircraft. The two point shots cut the tail of the plane, and the lost tail fell to the ground.

This is the seventh Japanese fighter shot down by Gao Zhihang. When Gao Zhihang bit a Japanese fighter again and pressed the shooting button, he accidentally found that his landline had run out of food, and most of his subordinates had been lost.

Gao Zhihang led the two scarred fighters to withdraw from the battle, and the Japanese fighters did not pursue because of the range.
