One hundred and forty-nine appeared
Although there were five fighter jets in the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese Air Force did not dare to be careless at all. These five fighter jets were difficult to pose a major threat to the entire fleet, but they could cause heavy losses to landing troops.
When Martin 139wc heavy bomber and Fighter Mki fighter appeared in the air, six Type 96 ship battles and four Type 95 ship battles appeared around the battlefield. They had been hovering in the darkness at a height of 4,000 meters for a long time.
The Chinese army temporarily mobilized an army of 2,000 to be prepared to block the Japanese landing at Wusongkou, which has long been known by the Japanese army.
Time went back five hours ago:
On the flagship of the Third Fleet [Izumo], General Hasegawa Kiyoshi is holding a military meeting.
After the war began, General Hasegawa, the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, moved his temporary command post to the [Izumo].
"Just two thousand?" General Hasegawa Kiyoshi held the intelligence in his hand and looked at the intelligence officer, "The two thousand Chinese troops want to resist the landing of 10,000 land soldiers in the Imperial Army?"
"Hi!"
The intelligence officer stood attentively, bowed his head, affirmed. The information he received was like this, and it was true. "In order to cooperate with the landing of our imperial fleet, the imperial troops stationed in Shanghai took the initiative to attack, dragging down Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division, Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division and the 20th Independent Brigade. Now the Chinese troops in Shanghai can only be transferred out 2,000 people, led by General Yi Anhua, the commander of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division, to block our landing troops at Wusong Wharf."
General Hasegawa Kiyoshi asked: "Where are the reinforcements of the Chinese people now?"
The intelligence officer walked to the combat map and pointed at the map with a baton: "The 98th Division, the 11th Division, the 67th Division and the 14th Division, the 15th Army commanded by Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army of China, are here, this, this, this, this, they are rushing to rescue quickly. They will not reach Wusongkou, Zhanghuabang, Shizilin and Chuanshakou until at least eight o'clock after dawn.
In other words, our army will land at dawn, and the Chinese army of 2,000 people will have to guard at least three hours before their reinforcements can arrive."
General Hasegawa Kiyoro stood up, walked to the map, and looked at it for a while: "The Chinese people knew that the two thousand people would definitely not be able to stop the attack of my landing troops, and would definitely ask for their air force support."
General Hasegawa Kiyoshi said and turned around to ask the intelligence officer: "How many planes do the Chinese have in total?"
The intelligence officer said: "The Chinese Air Force can take off and fight at most no more than 100 aircraft, and there are about 37 military aircraft stationed at Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, one of which is a Martin heavy bomber just transferred from Zhoujiakou yesterday."
"Yes!" General Hasegawa Kiyoshi stretched out his frown and walked in front of the battle map. "The commanders of the Chinese army are familiar with the thirty-six strategies, so they are full of tricks. We follow the customs and follow the guests as they please, learn their thirty-six strategies and stage them a plan."
All the Japanese combatants laughed.
General Hasegawa Kiyoshi said: "Order!"
Everyone in the war room stood up.
General Hasegawa Kiyoshi "..."
Seeing a thousand Japanese fighter jets appear from the dark clouds at high altitude, Yan Haiwen, who was driving Hawk 2, pulled out his signal gun and fired three red signal flares into the sky, dragging his long tail straight into the sky.
This is a signal representing the appearance of Japanese military aircraft.
The Chinese Air Force made an agreement before setting off that when he saw three red signal flares in a row, it means that Zhou Zhihan and his team successfully entered the "trap" laid by the Japanese army. Japanese fighter jets appeared to encircle and suppress Martin's heavy bombing and escort fighter jets. At this time, Chinese aircraft groups following Martin's heavy bombing from afar and preparing to siege the Japanese fighter jets could appear.
This time, all Chinese fighter jets stationed at Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport were launched, and there was a ten-minute interval between them and Martin's heavy bombing.
The ten Japanese fighter jets were a big piece of fat.
Before a large number of Chinese fighter jets appeared, Zhou Zhihan had to lead four fighter jets to deal with Japanese fighter jets with few enemies.
Two Type 95 ship battles and two Type 96 ship battles rushed towards Martin, and they would never allow the heavy bomber to break into the air above the fleet.
Zhou Zhihan flew at a low altitude, and three machine gunners opened fire and fired at the landing Japanese troops from various positions. A bomb dropper specially dropped bombs at places where the landing Japanese troops were densely populated.
Under the attack of Martin's heavy bombardment, the Japanese landing troops in the water suffered heavy casualties.
The four Japanese fighter jets thought that when they made a dive attack attitude, Martin would lift up and flee, but they did not expect that Martin would ignore their dive and still flew to the ultra-low altitude bombing.
Just as the four Japanese fighter pilots cursed the Chinese because they were worried that shooting Martin's heavy bombardment would hurt the landing soldiers, Zhou Zhihan and all the crew members also breathed a sigh of relief. This seemingly rogue actually won the extremely dangerous bet.
They bet on Japanese military aircraft that they would not risk killing their own people and blasted Martin again.
Faced with Martin's re-bombing, the four enemy planes could only pull up the nose, rolled and rotated at a small angle, and changed to a flat flight, forming two dual-aircraft formations to follow and pursue the same flight altitude as Martin's re-bombing.
Four Type 96 ship battles also rushed towards the two Fighter Mki fighters in two dual-air combat formations.
The other two Type 95 ships fought separately, intercepting two Hawk 2 fighters that attacked the landing troops at low altitudes.
The Japanese army had an absolute advantage with more fighter jets than the enemy.
Now, just wait for the Chinese fighter plane to arrive quickly.
The two fighters mki fighters were not in the fight at all. They first threw away the auxiliary fuel tank under the wings and threw the bombs into the dense crowd of Japanese troops landing, causing huge waves, creating bloody storms and howlings of ghosts and wolves. Then they turned the head of the plane, flew low altitude, rushed to the southwest, and attacked the machine gun while flying...
The two-plane formation of Japanese troops that dived did not expect that the Fighter Mki fighter would rather fly at low altitude than fight. They had to watch the enemy planes below them but did not dare to fire, for fear of hitting bombs into the water and landing on the Japanese army's heads. They could only dive to the same height as the Fighter Mki fighter, seeking rear tracking, and then fire in parallel so as not to harm their soldiers.
The other two Hawk 2s hovered directly at a low altitude, only 200 to 300 meters from the water surface, and kept firing to attack the Japanese army. In this way, the Japanese army did not dare to dive and attack at the high-altitude Type 95 ship battles, and were afraid of hurting their landing soldiers. They could only make a move to dive and then pull up, and chase the two Hawk 2 fighters in parallel.
Before setting out for bait, Zhou Zhihan, Yan Haiwen, Shen Chonghai and others had studied what tactics should be used to deal with the Japanese army several times their own after encountering Japanese fighter jets.
After several deductions, they agreed that they would rather fly at low altitude to face the machine guns and rifles landing on the Japanese army than fight against Japanese fighter jets that are superior in quantity and quality.
At the same time, the Japanese landing troops, which had lost the suppression of air firepower, began to attack, and howitzers smashed into the defensive positions of the Chinese army like hail. Stones splashed, soil flew, and simple fortifications were destroyed. With just one wave of shelling, dozens of soldiers were killed and injured. The craters were covered with broken limbs and broken arms, and the ground was blown into honeycomb coal by shells and dyed red with plasma.
The light and heavy machine guns of the guardian army also opened fire and bombarded the water surface, woven into barrage with huge lethality blocks.
