Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 306 Horizontal Bombing

 Similarly, for safety reasons, pilots will try to clear their bombs before landing.

After all, there is basically no danger when a fighter plane takes off with a bomb. However, if an operation error occurs during landing or an unexpected situation occurs, there is a high probability that the aircraft will be destroyed and people will be killed.

What's more, the current destination is the Great Plains, and the landing conditions provided by the Marine Regiment are very limited. Avoiding danger as much as possible is the basic quality of an ace pilot.

 After hearing his captain’s words, Fang Ziyi’s face showed a bright smile.

"receive!"

 “I knew that Team Wang still felt sorry for me, and I would definitely not let my trip go in vain.”

“Don’t worry, if we meet the Japanese, I will definitely let them taste twenty kilograms of melon.”

After speaking, the entire formation, led by the pilot aircraft, began to turn around and return.

Facts have proved that as long as you have enough intelligence and can grasp the enemy's starting point and destination, you can accurately find the Japanese armored forces even in the vast plains.

In just fifteen minutes, the **** fighters locked onto the cavalry group pursuing the Eighth Theater.

After looking at the enemy, Captain Wang Hai picked up the communicator on the side and ordered:

“The Japanese troops are mainly cavalry and tanks. It is impossible to have large-scale anti-aircraft weapons. All fighter groups will lower their altitude to 1,500 meters.”

“Bombardiers should not act rashly and wait for orders from the pilot aircraft before launching an attack. It doesn’t matter if the bombing is not accurate. This is the first time we have tried horizontal bombing in actual combat. Everything is focused on accumulating experience.”

 “The action begins!”

  ·······

Time goes back five minutes to the pursuit troops stationed in Mongolia.

“Reporting to the commander, the search team found traces of the 35th Army three kilometers ahead. The distance between us and the enemy is gradually getting closer.”

“In addition, the preserved fruit troops in Ningxia do not seem to have any intention of sending troops to respond, and the intelligence department has not detected any connection between the two.”

“Your Excellency Colonel! It seems that today is a good opportunity for us to wash away the shame of the entire cavalry group!”

As soon as these words came out, the nearby soldiers felt like they had been shot with several tubes of chicken blood. Everyone wanted to rush forward and kill the remaining seven and a half troops.

Even the captain Zentaro Kawasaki, who was known for his calmness in the past, could barely control his emotions.

 It is worth mentioning that the appearance of this old devil is very conspicuous in the crowd, and he actually has two different sabers on his waist.

“Blood debt must be paid with blood! Today I will kill the commander of the 35th Army with my own hands!”

“Notify the 71st Tank Regiment! Let the men of their armored forces speed up! Oil-burning tanks are not as fast as grain-eating horses. What a bunch of resource-wasting fellow countrymen!”

"We have to catch up with the enemy before the sun sets today. We must not let them get into the desert in the southwest. I don't want to be forced to give up this pursuit."

"Hi!"

The reason why the Japanese were so excited was simple: the cavalry group stationed in Mongolia had a grudge against the 35th Army, and it was a feud that would never end.

As early as 1933, the 1st and 4th Cavalry Brigades of the Kwantung Army, which had not yet been assigned to the Mongolian Army, fought against the 59th Army in the Jehol area.

It was only after the war that the Japanese realized that the Fifty-ninth Army was actually adapted from a division of the Thirty-fifth Army, and the two sides have been at odds since then.

After being assigned to the Mongolian Army, the fourth cavalry brigade was transferred to Jiangcheng to participate in the battle, resulting in a division-level unit with only a few thousand soldiers.

More than 5,000 cavalry alone cannot defend the huge Suiyuan.

At that time, small groups of cavalry in the Eighth Theater came and went freely, often launching raids on Japanese strongholds built along the railway. Because of the air leaks throughout the defense zone, the cavalry group once became the laughing stock within the North China Front. In December 1939, the Eighth Theater Command did not hesitate to participate in the winter offensive of a multi-theater joint operation in order to prevent the Japanese troops in North China from moving south for support.

Among them, the 101st Division secretly sneaked along the northern foot of Wula Mountain and set up an ambush circle at the mountain pass north of Baotou to call for reinforcements.

 In that battle, the 14th Cavalry Regiment was ordered to support the headquarters of the Cavalry Group. His former commander, Kazuo Kobayashi, was shot to death with a heavy machine gun by troops ambushing him in the Eighth Theater on the road.

 The Japanese commander who was posthumously promoted to major general was a good friend of Zentaro Kawasaki.

With all the old and new grudges and personal grievances added together, the old Japanese naturally wanted to destroy the remnants of the 35th Army with his own hands.

 In this operation, in addition to the 14th Cavalry Regiment, there was also the 71st Tank Regiment transferred from the Kwantung Army to the cavalry group.

 There is no group in the formation of this wing, and it is directly composed of four squadrons and logistics support units. Including the tanks of the headquarters, there are a total of thirty-one Type 97 medium tanks and twenty-one Type 95 light tanks.

Such a large-scale force shows the determination of the Mongolian army to eradicate the enemy.

As the orders reached the ears of several captains, the entire cavalry regiment moved forward a little faster. As if he thought of something important, Zentaro Kawasaki called the communications soldier and said:

“Immediately draft a telegram of the current situation and send it to Lieutenant General Nishihara, and also ask when support from the Army Aviation will be in place.”

"If we can have the guidance of a reconnaissance plane, our pursuit speed can definitely be improved to a higher level. Maybe we won't need those useless tanks that eat dry food."

Just as the old devil finished speaking, the hum of a piston engine suddenly sounded in the distant sky.

As a veteran who has been in the army for ten years, Zentaro Kawasaki naturally knew that a plane was approaching. He smiled immediately. No one expected that his reconnaissance plane would arrive so quickly.

 Listening to the sound, it seems that there are quite a few coming.

 “Signal Corps, please change the content of the telegram.”

“Just report the situation, there’s no need to ask about the Air Force matters.”

"Hi!"

Suddenly, Zentaro Kawasaki realized that something seemed wrong.

The fleet of aircraft in the distance is lowering its altitude for some reason, and judging from the opponent's appearance, it seems to be a double-jet 97 heavy explosion.

“Why is it a bomber? Could it be that Lieutenant General Nishihara is dissatisfied with our speed?”

Although Zentaro Kawasaki had some doubts in his heart, he did not think that the incoming aircraft was an enemy plane.

Empiricalism kills people. After all, in everyone’s impression, whether it is Guoju or the Eighth Route Army Air Force that emerged some time ago, their aircraft types do not include twin-engine aircraft.

The confused old devil pulled the reins and stopped the horse, then took the telescope handed by the adjutant and looked at the sky.

Through the telescope, he saw twenty-four fighter planes flying in the sky, and their altitude and distance were getting closer and closer.

“Hey, where is the identification mark? Where has such a big sun gone?”

“Something’s wrong. This plane doesn’t look like the 1997 Heavy Explosion. The wings seem to be shorter.”

"Wait! Why is the magazine open? Baga! The plane is coming towards us! Enemy attack! Disperse!"

Let’s post a short one first, and then I’ll start another chapter after I wake up.
