Chapter 626: The division is in trouble
As soon as the Japanese commander saw the Type 1 fighter in the sky, his smile came out...
This is their hope. Even if this group of Jinsui troops has strong willpower, so what?
In today's war, willpower alone will not suffice...firepower is the way to go.
The Japs also adhere to one principle...that is, fire coverage!
This is one of the main ways to win the war...Winning with wisdom is too brain-consuming.
Therefore, the Japanese's fighting methods and tactics were relatively simple. Until the time of the war with the Americans, they still used the so-called pig attack tactic.
Now I am following this tactic even more and cannot extricate myself...
All the Japs are preparing for battle. As soon as the plane bombing is completed, they will launch a large-scale attack on the Jinsui Army positions with lightning speed...
Not just in this position...
Several planes also appeared on other positions at the ferry...
This time, the Third Aviation Group dispatched 24 aircraft to the ferry area alone...
Including 18 Type fighter jets...
There are also 6 Type fighters....
The purpose is to provide great firepower support to the 21st Division...so that the 21st Division can capture all the Shanxi-Sui Army as soon as possible...laying the foundation for victory in the entire southwestern Shanxi War.
"Commander...the Japanese plane is coming..."
"Not only our 72nd Division... the 71st Division also encountered the Japanese plane..."
At the temporary headquarters of the 72nd Division, the correspondent came over anxiously and said.
"what?"
"The Japanese plane is coming..."
The commander of the 72nd Division looked anxious...but soon returned to normal.
"Give me the order... Even if the Japanese plane comes... we must defend our position!"
"This battle... must be fought... I also hope that the flying troops of the independent column can quickly come to support..."
.....
On a Type One fighter jet.
The Japanese squadron leader looked at the Jinsui Army position below and started to laugh.
"Everyone... is ready... to carry out bombing according to the pre-positioned position... low-altitude flights are allowed..."
"We must continue to output firepower... suppress this group of Jinsui troops under our fierce artillery fire... create opportunities for the 21st Division..."
The eyes of the squadron commander Major were full of ridicule.
"Chinese troops... are vulnerable... in front of the Imperial Air Force... they are just... passing by..."
After saying that, he increased his power and flew towards the Jinsui Army's position.
"No...the Japanese plane is coming...the Japanese plane is coming...Everyone is looking for cover...get down...get down..."
"Everyone look for cover...get down quickly...get down quickly..."
The soldiers of the 72nd Division shouted loudly, lying in the trenches one by one and not daring to move.
Because they have experienced Japanese fighter bombings several times and know how powerful the Japanese fighter planes are.
Therefore, at this time, it is still more cautious.
I saw bombs falling from the sky... falling around the position.
Boom boom boom....boom boom boom....
Huge sparks rose... and a heat wave instantly formed, sweeping through all the troop positions of the Ninth Group Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army...
Countless shrapnel were flying in all directions at extremely fast speeds.
Every piece of it is filled with dazzling sparks....
The Type 43 fighter is also called the Nakajima Ki- "Falcon" fighter... It looks very similar to the Zero fighter... except that it is specially produced by the Japanese army to adapt to its own development. A fighter aircraft of the Zero Fighter....
Currently, there are only a dozen of them in the entire North China region, and they are still trial machines...the means are not very mature.
The length of the aircraft is 8.92 meters...the wingspan is 10.84 meters...the aircraft height is 3.27 meters...the empty weight is 1910 kilograms.
The maximum flight speed is 530 kilometers per hour.... The maximum range is 1760 kilometers.
Just from the perspective of speed and range, there is a big difference between Type-1 fighter jets and independent column fighters...in almost every aspect.
The Independent Column also had one-type fighter jets before, but they were all given to the headquarters by Zhang Yunqing... After all, his own troops had first-generation fighter jets.
Why do you want the Japs’ Type One fighter jets? Their performance is too poor… and they are not only thin but also thin… as long as the independent column’s Mustang fighter jets or MiG series fighters appear… .We can definitely shoot down these planes...
Weapons and equipment are even worse... there are only two 2mm caliber machine guns... and there are only more than 12.7 rounds of ammunition...
The bomb carries 400kg...compared with the three or four tons of bombs carried by the B29 bombers of the independent column...there is still a big gap...
One division weighs 400KG, one division weighs 4000kg.... The difference is visible to the naked eye... Even the Mustang fighter can carry 1000kg aerial bombs....
Boom boom boom....boom boom boom....
Huge sparks have risen from various positions of the Ninth Army... annihilating the entire battlefield.
Countless flying sand and rocks are also flying in all directions... There is a pungent smell of explosions everywhere... There are explosions everywhere.
The soldiers of the Ninth Army could only hide in the trenches...to avoid bomb attacks...because they also knew that the bombing would not last long...
And at the 21st Division headquarters.
When the division leader Tanaka Jiuyi saw this scene, he slowly put down his telescope... and a smile appeared on his lips.
He kept stroking the sword in his hand, then slowly raised his head and turned around: "Our air force still has the power to suppress..."
"Just one round of bombing... turned the Jinsui Army's position into a sea of fire..."
"It would be better if we came earlier... Then, we can fight faster... At least... we can defeat this group of Jinsui troops completely..."
"However, now... Shijiazhuang County does not need our support... General Nakano has also died at the hands of the independent column..."
"Let's just fight with our hands and feet!"
