Chapter 242: The War of Defense of Nanjing is taking a sharp turn (2)

At this moment, Peng Mengji walked indifferently on the fortress covered with large and large craters. The huge crater left by the Japanese heavy bombs was still emitting blue smoke. The broken limbs on the edge of the crater and the broken nearby machinery showed that a Swedish-made Fords 20mm four-barrel anti-aircraft gun was previously deployed here. At this moment, the four-barrel 20mm anti-aircraft gun had been blown to pieces with eight members of its artillery squad.

Peng Mengji looked at the large crater with a diameter of nearly three meters, recalling the shaking of the sky and the earth during the battle, and the smoke pillars that were dozens of meters high were rising. The people seemed to be eyeing the Yanziji Fort and insisting on putting themselves in a dead place to stop. So in order to prevent the Japanese army from killing, Peng Mengji immediately ordered the hidden German 150mm heavy howitzer, the 105mm howitzer and the 75mm field artillery troops immediately transferred their positions to stand by, and any exposed targets were executed on the spot.

In the mess, the officers and soldiers cleaned up the bodies of the dead comrades. The battle an hour ago caused heavy losses to Yanziji Fortress. Because the Japanese air fleet failed to achieve the tactical purpose of destroying the Chinese aircraft fleet on the ground, they regarded the naval ships on the river as the primary bombing targets. Because the war started with the intention of encircling the rear of the Qixia Mountain Fortress from the Japanese army, or attacking the Zijin Mountain line, they would be bombarded by fierce artillery fire from the Yanziji Fortress. Moreover, the Japanese destroyer fleet had also failed to sink sand in Yanziji, so when the air strike plan was formulated, the *** people repeatedly marked the location of Yanziji with a red circle.

Therefore, after the Japanese air force attacked the main force of the Chinese Air Force in this time, they used the Yanziji Fort as one of the key offensive targets. It happened that the Chinese naval ships were also assisting in defense, which made the Japanese army more aware of the importance of the Yanziji Fortress to the Chinese defenders. The Wulongshan Fortress, which was originally listed within the attack target, only received more than a dozen bombs.

Peng Mengji is actively adjusting his deployment and using ground fire to fight against large-scale air strikes. The losses will be very heavy. Although Peng Mengji has been mentally prepared before this, the serious casualties suffered by the troops are still beyond Peng Mengji's expectations and psychological preparations.

Sure enough, four hours after the first round of Japanese air strikes, the Japanese fleet rushed over Nanjing again. In the shrill alarm, Gao Zhihang led the last twenty-two bf-109f multi-purpose fighter jets of the Rehe Air Force to take off for combat. Gao Zhihang hung a little jade Buddha with a red rope tied in the cabin, staring at the little jade Buddha Gao Zhihang showed a gratified smile. There were no less than three hundred Japanese aircraft invading, and they only had twenty-two fighter jets to take off for combat.

This is probably the last battle for the Rehe Air Force to reinforce Nanjing. Famous familiar faces appeared in front of Gao Zhihang. During the war in Nanjing, the seventy-five BF-109f multi-purpose fighter aircraft equipped by the Rehe Air Force lost six due to mechanical failures. The remaining forty-seven were shot down by the Japanese army, and thirty-one pilots stained the sky with blood.

Gao Zhihang knew that the final battle of the Rehe Air Force this time represents the heroic struggle of the Chinese Air Force not afraid of powerful enemies! The soul of the Chinese Air Force will always remain with the blue sky of the motherland.

All twenty-two bf-109f multi-purpose fighter jets belonging to the Flying Tigers of the Rehe Legion Air Force were launched. Under the command of the leader Gao Zhihang, the fleet began to climb, use clouds to conceal and raid Japanese fighter jets from high altitudes, which is more conducive to the performance of the bf-109f multi-purpose fighter jets.

Colonel Kobayashi Tazawa, then commander of the Third Special Forces of the *** Army Air Force, and the Type 96 attack aircraft and Type 97 attack aircraft under his command protected the core of this battle. Sixty-seven precious Type 97 heavy explosions, a large *** biplane bomber drawn from North China, etc., formed a huge group of 317 attack aircraft. In the first wave of air strikes, although the Chinese Air Force severely damaged many warships and aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy, due to the lack of necessary effective ammunition, it failed to sink any large Japanese surface ships, and only achieved the results of sinking the Japanese old heavy cruiser Yaeyama.

However, the Chinese Air Force paid a considerable price for this. In the first wave of air strikes, the Japanese army destroyed almost all field airports, so it was difficult for the Chinese Air Force to prepare for another battle immediately. The only possibility was to make continuous transitions. The second wave of Japanese attack aircraft group seemed very relaxed at this moment. Almost every Japanese pilot had a smile on his face. He attacked the capital of the *** capital and suppressed and destroyed the heavy artillery of the *** Army. The BF-109f multi-purpose fighter of the *** Army had lost most of the bf-109f multi-purpose fighter, and the rest were probably already in transition. The remaining Hawk 3, compared with the n-15 and n-16 attack aircraft equipped by the Soviet Volunteer Aid China Air Force, does not have an absolute advantage in performance compared with the 96 and 97 attack aircraft. The final victory of the air supremacy battle over Nanjing will belong to the Great *** Empire.

When the huge Japanese army fleet arrived over Nanjing, only sporadic firepower on the ground was blocked, and there was no trace of the black god of death above Nanjing in the past.

At the two Type 96 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, the 97th-heavy bomber group began to pounce on several places where heavy artillery of the *** army might be hidden on the north bank of the river.

The other Japanese fighter jets rushed towards the established targets, and even many attack aircraft joined the ground strafing. Twenty-two BF-109f multi-purpose fighter jets commanded by Gao Zhihang hovered over Nanjing waiting for an opportunity.

Sure enough, due to the sparse ground firepower, Japanese fighter jets began to dive and strafuse unscrupulously. Gao Zhihang saw that the Japanese army group began to disperse, and the escort aircraft also began to turn to ground strafuse attacks.

Gao Zhihang used radio to call all fighters to concentrate on attacking the Japanese clumsy Type 97 heavy bomber. This latest heavy bomber equipped by the Japanese army caused the greatest damage to the ground forces, so the first attack was the Japanese Type 97 heavy bomber group.

The bf-109f multi-purpose fighter whizzing down from the air began to accelerate dive. Gao Zhihang used the cross-seimeter on the aiming board to firmly hold a Type 97 heavy explosion with the tail number 131. Gao Zhihang kept gently ticking the shooting button. In actual continuous shooting rarely occurs in air combat, because the ammunition storage of aviation machine guns is very limited. Experienced pilots mostly calculate and estimate the advance amount and use point-firing to attack enemy aircraft. First, save ammunition, and second, improve the shooting hit rate.

Under Gao Zhihang's continuous shooting, the two engines of the Japanese Type 97 heavy explosion suddenly burst out with thick smoke. When the car stopped in the air, the Japanese bomber's lost power immediately rolled into a tail spin state, and fell to the ground with black smoke.

The first round of attacks of twenty-two bf-109f multi-purpose fighters that suddenly rushed out of the clouds destroyed as many as seven Japanese Type 97 heavy explosions. The extremely panicked Japanese aircraft flocked in a blast like frightened birds. The Japanese escort fighter jets that were still shooting targets on the ground were quickly lifted and turned.

The ground-to-air combat performance of the bf-109f multi-purpose fighter is actually not very good. The Flying Tigers who know this clearly do not fight with Japanese fighters at low altitudes at all. They quickly lifted up after completing the attack for 20 years. In terms of climbing and turning radius, the Japanese Type 96 and Type 97 attack aircraft are not opponents of the bf-109f. These Bf-109f multi-purpose fighters, which are known as the Black Death, are all flying in a dual-plane formation.

Four fighter jets of the two groups provided cover to each other, and the chief aircraft and the wingman used radio to communicate with each other. The classic dual-group cooperation tactics were used. Although the Japanese fighter jets had an absolute number advantage, they were still caught off guard by the Flying Tigers hiding in the clouds at high altitudes.

The Japanese army's panic was only short-lived. Although the Flying Tigers' tactics were used very properly, Japanese fighter jets were hit and smoke came out, or they exploded directly in the air.

Many Chinese officers and soldiers in Nanjing even walked out of the bunker, and even the Japanese offensive stopped. The officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies were looking at the sky with their necks raised. Whenever a Japanese fighter plane was hit, the Chinese soldiers on the defending positions would burst out with cheers. Whenever a Flying Tigers fighter plane was hit, the Chinese soldiers would grit their teeth and curse the little *** and say that they would not die well.

Because the Chinese officers and soldiers on the positions were informed by the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Office. During the Air Force's transition, various fortresses, forts and defense lines in Nanjing would lose air support, all troops would implement air defense preparations, and heavy artillery troops would be dispersed and hidden, etc.

However, when the Japanese aircraft group came, the remnants of the Flying Tigers of the Rehe Legion bravely attacked the huge Japanese aircraft group with just over twenty fighter jets, and also shot down dozens of Japanese aircraft. For a moment, the fighter jets over Nanjing City flew, and tracer bullets cut through the sky with obvious ballistics.

Gao Zhihang was being bitten by three Japanese fighter jets at this moment. His wingman had long been shot down, and two fighter jets from a team of them cooperated with him were also shot down. Gao Zhihang, who was fighting alone, still stubbornly shot down two Type 97 heavy explosions in succession. The loss of Type 97 heavy explosions over Nanjing, which was regarded as treasure by the *** people, has greatly exceeded the ability of the *** people to bear.

The rest of the Type 97 heavy explosions dropped the bombs and then began to climb out of the war zone and return. The people were not Americans, and they could not afford to lose money with a narrow land and lack of resources.

Gao Zhihang seized the opportunity to step on the throttle valve and made a false move to climb. The trailing Japanese planes were immediately deceived and followed one after another, because the speed of the fighter planes would slow down when climbing, and their flexibility would be minimized.

When Gao Zhihang found that the Japanese plane was being deceived, he immediately reduced the throttle to a minimum. The plane suddenly turned and dived and bit the tail of a Japanese Type 96 carrier-based attack aircraft. Two shots were fired to discount the tail of the Japanese plane, and the Japanese plane with the lost tail fell to the ground.

This was the seventh Japanese fighter jet shot down by Gao Zhihang. When Gao Zhihang bit a Japanese fighter jet again and pressed the shooting button, he unexpectedly found that his landline had run out of ammunition and food, and most of his subordinates were completely lost.
