In a place that the pilots did not notice, there was actually a large group of people watching. Every time a Japanese fighter plane crashed, they would cheer loudly, and when the pilots returned victorious and flew into the sky, the cheers were even more deafening.
In the eyes of the commoners, this group of pilots was the God of War in the sky. The sky of China would truly belong to China now, because they had achieved zero casualties that they had never imagined before. As this matter spread, the Sixth Army's limelight reached a point where it was second to none.
The artillery battle between the 1st Artillery Division of the 6th Army, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the independent field artillery regiments of the various divisions was very subtle, because they had been bombarding each other for an hour, but they had a tacit understanding that they only used 75mm field artillery and 70mm mountain artillery.
Since both sides knew that the enemy had heavy artillery, the heavy artillery had become their trump card. If one side did not expose their position, the other side was also unwilling to expose it. In fact, both sides were waiting for their own air force to bring back information, but this time, the pirates were destined to be disappointed.
"Report! The First Air Force had returned. According to the report, they had destroyed at least 40 attack planes and 70 bomber planes. Only three of them were heavily injured!”
"Very good, pass on my command. I hope they will persist in the battle and cooperate with our artillery to destroy the enemy's artillery positions. When the time comes, I will personally celebrate for them!”
"Understood!"
Yang Sen and Liao Lei had completely given up. They no longer tried to figure out Wang Qiangguo's background. Wang Qiangguo's ability to provide so much German machinery equipment had already shocked them to the extreme. Who knew that he would actually drag an entire aviation team over this time, equipped with jet fighters that were so advanced that it made one's hair stand on end.
Before this, they had never even heard of the concept of a jet, but when they learned about the data of the F86, they almost knelt down in front of this beautiful plane. This was a true god of aerial combat!
"Brother Wang, how many good things do you still have to take out?”
"There are many! Believe me, the best decision you've ever made in your lives is to join the Sixth Army.”
"Haha."
In the past, Wang Qiangguo had also mentioned this sentence. At that time, Yang Sen and Liao Lei did not believe it, but now, they believed more than half of it.
"Report! The headquarters called…"
"Air raid! Air raid!"
The messenger was interrupted by a loud air raid siren halfway through his speech. Matsui Ishine was already sharp enough, but he was still a step too late. High in the sky, 30 F86 saber-wielding fighter jets had arrived.
"Don't panic! Air defense units, return fire immediately!"
There were still a lot of air defense units in the three divisions and the Sixth Brigade, but most of them were using the outdated Type 96 25mm and Type 98 20mm air defense cannons. To the American aircraft, which had always been known for their rough skin, unless it was a direct hit, it was impossible to cause effective damage.
Only the Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun could pose an effective threat to the F86 sword, but they did not expect to encounter a powerful air force in China, so they did not bring many.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
Black clouds exploded in the sky, but they soon realized that the F86 was too fast and it was difficult to aim. When it flew over at a low altitude, the rotation speed of the anti-aircraft gun was not as fast as the fighter jet.
Whoosh! Boom!
Not only could the F86 carry eight unguided rockets, but it could also be replaced with more than 900 kilograms of bombs to serve as part of the bomber.
The 30 F86s were sometimes as light as swallows, sometimes as fast as the wind, and sometimes as sharp as eagles, circling around the enemy's air defense.
"It's alright…"
After confirming that there were only 30 enemy fighter jets, the regiment commander let out a long sigh of relief. Although the quality was high, the quantity was still within control. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't deal much damage in one round. Their weak anti-air firepower could also play a role.
The only thing that pained the exploration team leader was that they had thought that the Chinese would not be able to take out many fighter jets, so they did not disguise themselves. Ten of the 15 Type 90 240mm heavy cannons and eight Type 96 305mm heavy cannons that the Independent Heavy Artillery Team had were destroyed in one go.
"Messenger, what did the headquarters say just now?”
"The command center has ordered us to immediately launch a full-scale artillery bombardment.”
"Not good! Hurry up! Order all heavy artillery to fire!"
"Whoosh ~~~ Boom! Boom!"
Fate played a trick on people like this. One step slower, and every step slower. Even if Matsui Ishine had reacted 30 seconds earlier, it would not have ended like this.
The fundamental purpose of the F86 was not to cause many effective strikes from the beginning, but to scout the coordinates of the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese pirates and attract their attention. The powerful and mysterious F86 fighter jet completed these two objectives very well.
With the sound of cannons, the F86s, which had run out of ammunition, left gracefully. Only four of them were emitting black smoke.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
"Hey!"
By the time the pirates calculated the coordinates and adjusted their shooting elements, they had already suffered two rounds of bombardment in vain. More than a dozen cannons were destroyed or heavily damaged to the point that they could not be used.
The quality and quantity of the Japanese Artillery Corps were already slightly inferior to the Artillery Division 1 of the Sixth Army. Now that they were attacked by the fighter planes and lost the initiative, it could be said that the outcome was already determined.
The shells of the Sixth Army turned the Japanese artillery into a living hell. The heavy artillery and the corpses of the Japanese were blasted into the land of China. The wailing and wandering souls did not disappear for a long time. Under the torture of Yongye, they atoned for their cruelty…
"Report! We lost more than three-quarters of our artillery unit and were forced to retreat…"
"Baka! Baka!"
In order to get this opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation, Matsui Ishine had paid a high price at the base camp. Who knew that before the infantry battle had even begun, the artillery and air force had already been defeated. How could they fight this battle?
The 6th division was a good example. If they couldn't destroy the artillery of the 6th army, no matter how many troops they sent, it would just be adding fuel to the fire. Under the bombardment of almost unlimited ammunition, no army would have the courage to charge.
" Matsui-kun, give the order to retreat."
"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! Why do the people of Ququ China have such advanced fighter planes, such powerful cannons, and such abundant ammunition? Is our Great Wei Pirate Empire inferior to this barbarian land?!”
"The headquarters have already replied to us. The country is developing a powerful fighter jet that can compete with the new fighter jet discovered today.”
Arrogance was a common problem among the pirates. As long as they compared it carefully, they would find that the Zero style they were developing could not compare to the F86 sword. They were not from the same era at all. As the saying went, summer insects could not talk about ice.
"Matsui-kun, you don't have to be too upset. Wuxi is just an isolated city. The Sixth Army was in a hurry to march to Wuxi, so it was impossible for them to bring much supplies. By then, the people in the city would be able to cause chaos in Wuxi City!”
"Good idea! He ordered the 16th division to reinforce and block the gap in the north!”
"Hey!"
With one division blocking one side, Iwane Matsui felt that he had given the Sixth Army enough face.
The monthly votes of the brothers are not good. They still need more than 20 tickets to add more, and they only need a few hundred flowers to add more.
