Chapter 947 Ambush and Counter-Ambush!

During this time, Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda were almost collapsed by the bombings of the Eighth Route Army planes.

I was very angry but there was nothing I could do to get the Eighth Route Army planes.

I heard from Kiichiro Higuchi that he wanted to buy Eighth Route Army aircraft.

Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetori Kuroda suddenly became interested.

Seeing the interest of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigetori Kuroda, Higuchi Kiichiro asked again: "How many anti-aircraft guns do your 1st Division and 26th Division have?"

Kuroda Shigenori replied: "Our 26th Division also has four Type 4 20mm cannons."

"We still have two doors in the 1st Division."

Mitsuo Nakazawa also replied with a wry smile.

Higuchi Kiichiro suddenly cast a surprised look at Mitsuo Nakazawa.

In last year's Kwantung Army exercise, the 1st Division was so glorious, with a total strength of more than 3. In addition to the regular four infantry regiments, engineering, cavalry, carriage, and artillery regiments, it also has a heavy artillery brigade. group.

Equipped with all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment, the quality of the soldiers is top-notch, and they are known as the Japanese army's most powerful force.

Although other Category A divisions are also known as the Japanese army's first combat effectiveness.

But the 1st Division can definitely be ranked in the top few, and it is much more beautiful than the 9th Division. For example, the 20st Division should have dozens of Type 1 [-]mm machine guns.

Why are there only 2 doors left?

Facing Higuchi Kiichiro's incomprehensible and surprised eyes and expression, Mitsuo Nakazawa could only smile bitterly.

For example, the fifth division was completely wiped out, and the first division was not wiped out, which is considered a good performance.

"Something is better than nothing."

Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro could only comfort himself in this way.

"Higuchi-kun, how do you plan to deal with the Eighth Route Army's planes?"

Kuroda Shigenori asked anxiously, as if he couldn't wait to shoot down the Eighth Route Army's plane.

Higuchi Kiichiro looked solemn and said:

"The Eighth Route Army planes will definitely continue to bombard tomorrow. There will be a formation of at least five or six fighters and bombers. My plan is very simple. I plan to ambush the Eighth Route Army planes."

The 9th Division was accustomed to being arrogant and domineering in the Chinese battlefield and Manchuria, and could not bear the bad breath of being bombed by Eighth Route Army planes.

Kuroda Shigenori and Nakazawa Mizuo were already used to being beaten severely, so they directly turned on the lying down mode.

"The Eighth Route Army's aircraft are very flexible, highly maneuverable, and very fast..."

"So Higuchi-kun, you want to use firepower composed of anti-aircraft guns and light and heavy machine guns to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa questioned at first, but when he thought about Higuchi Kiichiro asking them to prepare light and heavy machine guns, Mitsuo Nakazawa suddenly thought of what he was going to do.

"More than 9 infantrymen from our 2th Division also ambush together."

Higuchi Kiichiro looked at Kuroda Shigenori and Nakazawa Mizuo, and then looked at the map:

"I've chosen the location, it's near Dongshan."

"There is a road here that leads directly to Peiping. I prepared a dozen cars loaded with supplies and pretended to transport combat supplies from Peiping to Zhangjiakou to serve as bait."

"After the Eighth Route Army planes see the convoy on the ground, they will definitely swoop down to drop bombs and strafe."

"When the time comes, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and 20 20mm anti-aircraft guns will fire together, and we will definitely be able to shoot down the Eighth Route Army aircraft!"

Although the weapons and equipment of the 1st Division and the 26th Division are very hip.

However, the weapons and equipment of the 9th Division still belong to the first echelon among the Japanese army. It has 2 infantry brigades and a total of four combat infantry regiments. Each infantry regiment is equipped with more than 80 light and heavy machine guns.

The engineering regiment, baggage regiment, cavalry regiment and artillery regiment also have more than 100 light and heavy machine guns in total.

In addition, the 9th Division also has an independent air defense brigade, equipped with 16 20mm Type [-] machine guns.

The performance of the 20mm Type 20 cannon is average, but [-] Type [-] cannons are pretty good for air defense.

Including the light and heavy machine guns of the 1st Division and the 26th Division, the total number is about 600.

Coupled with the more than 9 infantry and cavalry of the 2th Division, this firepower was so powerful that the eyes of Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda couldn't help but shine suddenly.

"Higuchi-kun, this is a great plan!"

Even Mitsuo Nakazawa couldn't help but praise him.

"How about we, the infantrymen from the 1st Division and the 26th Division also join us?"

Kuroda Shigenori looked at Mitsuo Nakazawa and then at Kiichiro Higuchi, and his tone was eager to try.

"no need!"

"We only need the machine guns and machine gunners of our two divisions."

Higuchi Kiichiro waved his hand and said, his tone unquestionable.

This anti-aircraft firepower is enough.

If the infantry of the 1st Division and the 26th Division were also included, then the credit for shooting down the Eighth Route Army aircraft would have to be shared equally with Mitsuo Nakazawa and Shigenori Kuroda.

But if only the machine gun teams of these two divisions are added, Higuchi Kiichiro can take the lead.

Higuchi Kiichiro naturally didn't want to give up this easily obtained credit.

"also!"

Kuroda Shigenori nodded. Since Higuchi Kiichiro didn't want to, he couldn't say more.

After all, the 9th Division is the main force, and the 26th Division and the 1st Division can only provide assists.

"Higuchi-kun, I'm afraid you have to prepare at least 30 rounds of ammunition this time."

Mitsuo Nakazawa reminded that the 1st Division's life was very tight and he did not want to spend this bullet.

"In order to shoot down the Eighth Route Army aircraft, it is worth spending a few bullets."

Compared with the 1st Division and the 26th Division, the 9th Division was extremely rich. Higuchi Kiichiro didn't care. 30 bullets were just a few bullets in his eyes.

..."The number one double ace of the Chinese Air Force, led the air force in dozens of air battles with the Japanese army, and single-handedly shot down more than ten Japanese aircraft!"

At the headquarters of the New [-]st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong looked at the information sent from the headquarters.

Even Li Yunlong couldn't help but praise him.

Yesterday, Yanagisaki and more than a dozen ace pilots arrived in Taiyuan smoothly and safely.

These ace pilots were personally received by the head of the headquarters.

in fact.

Not long after Yanagisaki and more than a dozen ace pilots left the American Officer Staff School, the United States had already notified the Nationalist Government, and the Nationalist Army quickly received the news.

The defection of his own ace pilot naturally attracted great attention, and even sent agents from the Central Command and the Military Command to stop him.

but.

With the help of Boss Chen's warships and transport planes, Liu Zesheng and more than a dozen ace pilots first took the warship to the overseas military base, and then took the transport plane to Taiyuan Airport.

After reading Liu Zesheng's information, Li Yunlong looked extremely satisfied.

He was able to participate in dozens of air battles and shot down more than ten Japanese aircraft with inferior aircraft and weak air force.

It shows that this person is extremely powerful in aerial combat and is an ace among aces.

He is definitely a patriotic and ambitious young man who serves his country with loyalty.

It makes sense that he could come back from abroad to join the Eighth Route Army and Air Force in fighting the Japanese.

"The headquarters has agreed to allocate these 15 pilots to our new regiment. Together with the 8 elite pilots from the mountain city, our new regiment has 23 pilots."

Zhao Gang said with a slight smile.

These eight pilots were also recruited by Comrade Zheng Shaoqiang through letters.

The other 14 pilots were recruited by Yanagisawa, and they were pilots who went to the United States with him to further their studies. Several of them were aces, and almost every pilot shot down at least one Japanese aircraft.

Liu Zesheng knew very well that if he came alone, he would not receive much attention from the Eighth Route Army.

But pulling all the pilots over is equivalent to having a certificate of surrender. These pilots are basically following Yanagisawa's lead, so they are willing to follow.

Of course, that's the end of it. The national army is very vigilant and keeps a close eye on the few remaining pilots, and no outsiders are allowed to contact them.

Otherwise, with the current strength and record of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, as well as the publicity about Liu Zesheng joining the Eighth Route Army Air Force, it is possible to attract most of the pilots of the National Army.

Zhao Gang was in a good mood to mention 15 pilots and 8 elite pilots.

of course.

These pilots cannot immediately join the Eighth Route Army's air force to fly combat aircraft. They must first undergo review by the Political Department of the headquarters. This is a necessary process.

"Old Li, these are aces and elite pilots. Isn't it appropriate for them to fly Hellcat fighters and attack aircraft?"

"They have to wear sabers no matter what so they can show their strength."

After a pause, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and said.

Even aircraft with inferior performance can shoot down Japanese aircraft. If these aces and elite pilots fly Saber fighters, isn't that just a massacre?

"I also want to use the saber to shoot them, but there is no one. You have to kill the Japanese generals to get the saber."

Li Yunlong said: "After the review is passed, let them fly Hellcat fighter jets first."

"That's all it can do."

"In the future, kill the generals and equip them with sabers."

Zhao Gang nodded, the Hellcat fighter jet was also very strong, and the Japanese fighter jet was like a turtle in front of it.

As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, the communications staff officer of the new regiment held the telegram in his hand, walked in quickly, and gave a military salute: "Report to the regiment leader and political commissar that Boss Chen has sent a secret telegram!"

"give me."

Li Yunlong stood up quickly and took the telegram from the communications staff officer.

The communications staff officer quickly turned around and left.

Li Yunlong picked up the telegram and read it, and then couldn't help but his eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss Chen said that the production of Saber fighter jets has increased recently. If you shoot down 5 Japanese aircraft, you can withdraw 1 Saber fighter jet!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Boss Chen is really a timely blessing for us!"

"We here are looking for sabers, and he is increasing production."

Zhao Gang sounded happy.

The Sabre fighter is a good thing, something that major countries such as Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States currently do not have.

but.

The more advanced this thing is, the higher the technical difficulty and the more expensive the materials used.

Therefore, Boss Chen's production is not high and can only be obtained by killing the Japanese generals.

Now you only need 5 aircraft credits to exchange for 1 Saber fighter, which is a huge profit.

In the last air battle between China and Japan over Wuhan, Li Yunlong earned a quota of 291 aircraft.

Very wealthy.

Soon, Li Yunlong looked at the second page of the telegram and couldn't help but stare.

On the second page of the telegram, Li Yunlong thought it was the information about Unit 731 given by Boss Chen, but he did not expect that it was the information that the Japanese were going to ambush the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

"The 9th Division is going to ambush our fighter jets and attack aircraft in Zhangjiakou."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, his expression showing murderous intent.

"This 9th Division, if I remember correctly, was one of the culprits of the Jinling Massacre!"

Zhao Gang's tone suddenly turned cold.
