However, it was nonsense to hear the call because there was no such thing as the air force taking the lead in the Japanese air force tactics.
Most of the time, they would only provide ground support after the ground forces fought. They did not have the habit of occupying air superiority in advance.
They were used to being arrogant and thought that since there were no planes in China, there would be no air superiority.
However, today, they had finally been taught a lesson at the cost of blood and tears!
Odono Hara was leading his flying regiment into the battlefield. He could already see the dense number of tanks on the ground from the sky.
He shouted through the communicator," Kuaxi, warriors of the Empire, the enemy is below. Your mission is to destroy their large-caliber cannons first, then their chariots!”
"Ha Yi!" A series of responses rang out from the communicator.
Just as they were about to dive down, a shrill scream suddenly came from the group chat.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! They are in the sky, above us!”
This was sent by the plane they were responsible for guarding.
They already knew that Xia Zilong's troops had a small number of aircraft, but they did not find any traces of them along the way, so they left a portion of the aircraft as a precaution.
However, he did not expect that before they could make a move, the other party had already unknowingly attacked him.
"Bagaya Deer! Withdraw the order just now. All aircraft should first remove the threat from the enemy! I repeat, cancel the order just now…"
Oda was furious, but there was nothing they could do. If they didn't take care of the enemy's aircraft, they wouldn't be able to join the ground battle.
As Xia Zilong's side did not have any high-ranking generals, the only one leading the team this time was a major commander named Sun Yuchen.
Xia Zilong had already installed a large radar when the airport was built, so the other party was discovered not long after they took off. They had been waiting here for a long time.
Sun Yuchen and the others were already impatient. The other party's planes were much slower than theirs.
The Japanese were still using Type 95 land and Type 96 warship planes, and their speed was only around 400 kilometers per hour.
Their Bf109 fighter jet could reach a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. Even though they took off later, they arrived above the battlefield before the Japanese.
When they saw that they had entered the battlefield, they immediately began to attack.
Two battalions of 300 fighter jets quickly swooped down from the sky. Only the dive bomber hovered and waited.
Most of the Japanese pilots had experienced the battlefield. In such a situation, they scattered in the smallest formation to avoid the diving aircraft.
Sun Yuchen and the others didn't expect to be able to kill many of them at once. That was too unrealistic.
After missing their target, all the planes started to look for enemy planes to kill or surround them in formation.
The sky above the battlefield immediately became lively. It was very rare to see hundreds of planes in the air.
However, there were very few people here. Their aerial battle did not attract much attention. Only those who were interested were observing!
On the ground, Hou Gongchun was so angry that her face turned green when she saw such a change.
Now that the Iron Country Pillars were firing at them, although most of them had started to hide and their losses were decreasing, their morale had also dropped significantly.
"Baga, are our cannons ready? Immediately launch counter-attack on the enemy!”
The Chief of Staff, Colonel Yong Yasuo said,""Regiment Commander, I'm afraid our cannons are no match for them. Isn't it a waste to do this?”
Harem Chun said,"I also know that they can't resist the enemy's artillery, but they have no choice now!"
If we can't suppress the enemy's cannons, we won't be able to build up our defenses. However, the enemy's chariots are already coming towards us!”
"Ha Yi, it was my negligence!" Yasuo Nagayu had to admit that this was the truth.
"Order, once the enemy's artillery bombardment stops, everyone immediately build fortifications!”
"Ha Yi!"
Following his order, the 10 120mm howitzers of the Independent Field Artillery Regiment began to launch a counterattack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lei Yufeng, the commander of the 48 self-propelled howitzers, and the other officers and soldiers were shocked.
However, when he saw that the other party's cannon did not hit him, but hit not far in front of him, he was a little surprised.
"Damn it, their big guy is finally out!”
"Order, scatter all the cannons. Split out 20 cannons to engage the enemy in artillery battle. The rest of the cannons will continue to bombard the enemy's position!”
"Rumble…"
The artillery battle between the two sides was in full swing. The war fought from the sky to the ground and entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.
Tie Guozhu was sitting in his own carriage. He was still about two kilometers away from them, and he was urging the team to attack quickly.
"Quick, quick, quick, faster!”
"The Air Force has already started fighting. They are probably ready to fight for food. We have to snatch as many heads from them as possible!”
"F * ck…it's really a good thing but not a bad thing. Why did they start to attack just as he said that?”
After the 300-plus fighter planes had completely pinned down the enemy's planes, the remaining 100 dive bomber planes began their show.
"Wuwuwu ~~"
With a unique whistle, their first target was the enemy's artillery position.
"Enemy attack, air defense, air defense!"
"Da da da…"
The Japanese did not live up to their reputation. They had already made preparations for air defense.
As soon as the dive bomber dove down, the anti-air firepower on the ground immediately increased, and a series of bullets intertwined in the air.
However, they had obviously never experienced this kind of dive bomber. Their anti-air firepower could deal with their own aircraft, but they could not deal with the situation in front of them.
The Stuka dive bomber glided through the barrage, then quickly increased the height of the drop. They opened their magazines, and bombs began to fall one by one.
" Wuwuwu…Rumble…"
Since they were not attacking the strong defense, they were all carrying around 100 to 200 kilograms of aerial bombs.
The 1800 kg Stuka bomber could carry about 10 bombs per plane.
The power of these bombs was not something that cannons could compare to. Their charge was much higher than cannons.
With just two small teams and 10 planes attacking, the Japanese's independent field artillery regiment was immediately scrapped.
After that, the other dive-bombing planes were free to choose their own targets. However, most of them chose targets such as vehicles and those that were initially constructed.
"Rumble…"
Explosions sounded continuously, and smoke billowed everywhere. It was a mess. This was what Tie Guozhu and the others saw.
