I am helping

Just when Li Yunlong was discussing the counterattack plan with the heads of the headquarters.

Northwest Shanxi.

Dagu Town Airport.

Li Shaorong is doing pre-war mobilization loudly to the pilots wearing leather jackets:

"This morning, the reconnaissance plane squadron carried out reconnaissance on Taiyuan occupied by the devils."

"I found that the devils are building large-scale fortification positions around Taiyuan."

"The head of the group ordered our flying brigade to go to Taiyuan to help the devils."

"This is the first time our flying brigade is dispatched to bomb the devil's infantry. The enemy's infantry also has anti-aircraft fire."

"if."

"If anyone is unlucky and gets shot down and falls into enemy territory, you know what to do!"

Li Shaorong's tone was sharp.

Although the aircraft of the Xinyi Regiment Flying Brigade are very advanced, not even comparable to those of European and American countries, this is a war, a cruel war of life and death.

There will be casualties in wars. Although the high-altitude planes have the upper hand when attacking the ground at high altitudes, the devils on the ground will also fight back.

There is still a risk of the plane being shot down.

Li Shaorong didn't say the latter words, but the pilots all knew what he was going to say.

If you are shot down, facing being captured by the devils, you can use the Colt pistol on the waist of the pilots to shoot yourself in the head.

However, some of the pilots looked indifferent, some were resolute, and some were stern.

Of course, there was a hint of desire in the eyes of more pilots, the desire for battle.

It has been more than half a month since Boss Chen’s overseas military base, and the pilots only performed combat missions yesterday, which was obviously not enjoyable.

None of the pilots were afraid.

Although the pilots came from various units of the Eighth Route Army.

But at this time, this group of pilots, like the elite veterans of the new regiment, were the most determined anti-Japanese fighters.

Li Shaorong yelled: "Meeting on a narrow road——"

"The brave wins!"

The pilots, including Wang Hexin, responded in unison.

This sentence on Li Yunlong's lips has become the motto of every new regiment soldier, including the newly established flying brigade.

At this moment.

The ground crew had already signaled to Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin that the fuel had been filled and the aerial bombs had been mounted.

"on board!"

A group of pilots and attack aircraft crew members quickly ran to their respective planes.

The engine started slowly, the propellers rotated rapidly, and the jet engine burst out with a huge roar.

16 Saber fighter jets and 20 A20 attack aircraft were driven into the main runway by the pilots one after another, and took off one after another amidst the huge roar.

Subsequently.

36 aircraft met in the air, formed a flight formation, and flew towards Taiyuan.

……

The straight-line distance from Dagu Town Airport in Northwest Shanxi to Taiyuan is about 200 kilometers.

More than half an hour later, the flight formation arrived in the sky above Taiyuan.

Followed by.

16 Saber fighter jets and 20 A20 attack aircraft began to bomb the devils who were building fortifications on the ground, as well as the devils' reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers around Taiyuan.

Boom boom boom...

Dense and huge explosion waves rose from the positions of the Japanese Fifth Division.

Terrifying incendiary bombs exploded overwhelmingly, and the flames swept and spread like huge waves with terrifying high temperatures. Countless Japanese were blown to pieces and burned to ashes.

A pilot piloted an A20 attack aircraft and dropped an aerial bomb on a reinforced concrete Jaap turret.

boom!
Accompanied by huge explosion waves, the pilot turned his head to look at the ground when he pulled the joystick to drive the plane to high altitude.

However, it was discovered that the aerial bombs did not destroy the Japanese reinforced concrete turrets.

"01, aerial bombs can't blow up the devil's gun tower."

While operating the plane, the pilot immediately reported to Li Shaorong on the radio.

"01, 01, my aerial bombs failed to blow up the devil's bunker."

Another attack aircraft pilot also called Li Shaorong on the radio channel.

The devil's reinforced concrete permanent fortifications are mainly divided into two types, one is a blockhouse and the other is a gun tower, both of which are 3 meters thick and tall and large.

Aerial bombs are generally synonymous with weapons of mass destruction.

When a conventional aerial bomb is dropped, whether it is the power of the explosion or the shock wave generated by the explosion, it is difficult for ordinary ground weapons to match it.

If it was an ordinary masonry blockhouse, an aerial bomb could easily destroy it, leaving only a pile of masonry debris.

However, the heavy reinforced concrete fortifications can easily make the explosion effect of the aerial bomb negligible.

Li Shaorong was flying a Saber fighter jet. He had just dropped an incendiary bomb, and the overwhelming flames engulfed at least one squad of devils.

Even a devil with a little bit of sparks would be hurt no less than a rifle bullet.

"Don't worry about the enemy's bunkers and gun towers yet!"

Li Shaorong replied calmly on the radio channel:
"Don't waste aerial bombs. Bomb the Japanese infantry positions first, and then discuss how to bomb the Japanese bunkers and gun towers later."

"Roger that!"

Pilots responded on the radio channel.

then.

The pilots who were about to bomb the reinforced concrete fortifications turned their noses and headed towards the devil's ground infantry field fortifications.

The resources of the First Army were limited, and it was impossible to pack all the devils into the reinforced concrete fortifications.

After the reinforcements from the three divisions of the Japanese army arrived in Taiyuan, so many devils couldn't hold it anymore.

So the Japanese from these three divisions built field fortifications outside the city.

Fortifications are generally divided into permanent fortifications and field fortifications. Permanent fortifications generally rely on terrain, and even the main part is underground, with strong concealment and exquisite materials.

The field fortifications are relatively rough, mostly civil engineering, and the materials used are simple.

The devil's earthworks can even smash the 75mm mountain artillery, let alone the powerful conventional aerial bombs and incendiary bombs.

The Japanese planned to build three lines of defense in the north to defend against the attack of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi.

The main forces are mainly the 5th Division and the 41st Division.

Use the strength of two divisions to defend against the attack of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.On the Taigu line of defense, Yoshio Iwamatsu also deployed a division of troops.

The reconnaissance squadron of the flying brigade has already come to conduct reconnaissance this morning. The Japs position is almost completed, and there are no Chinese on the position. They are almost all Japs and puppet troops, most of them Japs.

Since the devils have no anti-aircraft preparations, the most powerful anti-aircraft firepower is the Type 20 [-]mm cannon, and the number of equipment is very small.

Not long after the war started, the Devil's Type 20 [-]mm cannon positions were destroyed by Saber fighter jets.

Against the devil's sparse machine gun fire, the pilots of the new regiment swooped down and fired all the way, and then dropped aerial bombs and incendiary bombs on the devil's position.

After dropping the aerial bombs and using most of the machine-gun shells, Li Shaorong immediately ordered a return flight.

After half an hour.

The flight group returned to Dagu Town Airport.

Taking advantage of the time when the maintenance master was checking whether the plane was faulty, refueling on the ground, and mounting aerial bombs, Li Shaorong called together a group of pilots to discuss how to deal with the devil's bunkers and gun towers.

"This kind of big bunker and cannon building reinforced concrete fortifications, although not as exaggerated as the Tiger Head Fortress, but dozens of devils can be hidden in one cannon building."

Flight Captain Li Shaorong pointed to the bunkers and gun towers piled up in front of him and said:
"Our conventional aerial bombs can't be blown up, unless we use the B4 heavy howitzer equipped by our new regiment, we can destroy this kind of reinforced concrete fortification."

The power of conventional aerial bombs is not inferior to the high-explosive shells of the B4 heavy howitzer, but the warhead of the B4 heavy howitzer is made of chrome vanadium alloy, which is a concrete penetrating bomb, which can increase the penetrating force of the warhead.

Li Shaorong knew that Boss Chen had a tall cabinet bomb, which was also an earth-penetrating bomb.

That tallboy bomb can definitely take out the enemy's reinforced concrete fortifications.

However, at present, the new regiment is not equipped with this aerial bomb.

Paused.

Li Shaorong continued: "But it's not impossible to deal with the devil's reinforced concrete fortifications. Conventional aerial bombs won't work, so let's use incendiary bombs!"

The Saber fighters equipped by the new regiment can each carry 2 napalm bombs, which are mounted under the two wings of the aircraft.

Each napalm bomb has a capacity of 100 gallons, equivalent to 378 liters of napalm.

After a single napalm bomb explodes and burns, it can cover an area of ​​almost 2000 square meters, which is about a quarter of the area of ​​a football field, and the flames can rise tens of meters high.

The Japanese like pig attacks, and napalm is the nemesis of pig attacks and human sea tactics.

The flames of the explosion can pass through the shooting holes and drill into the reinforced concrete fortifications to destroy and injure the devils.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

The napalm bombs used in the first wave of attacks were mainly used to grill devils.

Wang Hexin laughed: "The first wave of our aerial bombs failed to blow up the devil's blockhouse and blockhouse, which would make the devil feel that the blockhouse and blockhouse are absolutely safe. A large number of devils squeezed into the blockhouse and blockhouse. The second wave of attack, we Use all the napalm bombs to blow up the bunkers and gun towers, and you will definitely achieve considerable results!"

Li Shaorong nodded, and glanced at the pilots: "But this attack method can only be used once at most. When the devils block the shooting holes next time, the flames will not be able to get in."

"In the second wave of attacks, the attack aircraft squadron will still deal with the infantry in the Japanese field fortifications, and the fighter squadron will deal with the Japanese bunkers and gun towers!"

"Meeting on a narrow road—"

"The brave wins!"

After a while.

After the maintenance master inspected the aircraft, the ground crew filled up the fuel, mounted the aerial bombs and napalm bombs, and filled up the machine gun shells and machine gun ammunition.

"on board!"

The pilots and crew members ran towards their respective planes.

After a while, a new group of flying formations buzzed across the blue sky, and 36 planes loaded with aerial bombs flew towards Taiyuan.

It was as expected by Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin.

In the first wave of attacks, the Eighth Route Army's conventional aerial bombs caused heavy losses to the Japanese in the direction of field fortifications, but the aerial bombs failed to blow up the reinforced concrete fortifications.

These reinforced concrete fortifications suddenly became fragrant steamed buns.

Originally, a reinforced concrete blockhouse or blockhouse was only guarded by a squad of more than a dozen devils, but the devil infantry got in one after another, and each blockhouse or blockhouse was crowded with a squad of more than 60 devils.

That kind of napalm bomb scared the Japanese. When one incendiary bomb fell, at least dozens of Japanese were burned to ashes.

The devils' expressions changed when they talked about it.

Crowded in bunkers and gun towers, there are still many lieutenants and assistant officers of devils. There is a big difference between the status of devil soldiers and officers. Ordinary devils dare not compete with devil officers for positions.
