Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 676: The Japanese retreating on their own initiative is even more terrifying. We must be pre

Under Lin Zhenhua's order, the Air Force Regiment carried out a second air raid on the Japanese airport, and unexpectedly achieved a lot of results. The Japanese fighter planes that had secretly left the airport before did not leave the vicinity of the airport at all. After the bombing, they returned to the airport, which directly gave the second air raid bomber unit a big advantage.

"Brothers, blow it up hard. Blow up the damn plane and the pilot. Don't give them a chance to take off again!"

"Don't forget the pilots' quarters during the bombing. Compared to the precious Japanese fighter planes, the Japanese pilots are more valuable. The value of a pilot is much higher than that of a fighter plane. As long as we can kill all the Japanese pilots, no matter how many fighter planes the Japanese have, they will not be able to take off to fight!"

Under the leadership of Liu Haishan, more than 100 bombers launched a massive bombing on the Japanese airport. Ammunition depots and fuel depots were destroyed one after another. More than 20 Japanese fighter planes were destroyed. At the same time, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units were severely hit, making the effect of the night air raid very significant.

"College student, my name is Liu Haishan. We have exceeded the planned combat objectives tonight. Even if the Japanese can send out fighter planes to fight tomorrow, the number will not exceed 60. With the strength of our air force regiment, we can completely seize air supremacy on the battlefield!" Liu Haishan reported with joy on his face.

Lin Zhenhua also showed a smile on his face. The first wave of attack tonight did not achieve much result, but the second wave of adventurous attack achieved fruitful results, proving that his previous judgment was correct and that the Japanese did not have the ability to master night combat and night navigation.

"Liu Haishan, it's 1:30 in the morning, and there are still three and a half hours until dawn. If conditions permit, we can organize another airstrike on the Japanese airport, and maybe we can achieve good results. Sometimes, repeating the same thing over and over again will catch the enemy off guard. We must dare to use reverse thinking, only in this way can we achieve greater results."

"Old Li, the air raid of the Air Force Regiment tonight was very successful. We can easily gain air superiority over the battlefield tomorrow. However, it is too dangerous to carry out air transport. I suggest concentrating all our air forces to launch a carpet-style air strike against the Japanese and puppet troops attacking Niangzi Pass."

"I plan to have Lao Zhao prepare 600 tons of oil barrel bombs and drop them all into the enemy's camp, so we can grill the enemy again."

Li Yunlong agreed with joy: "College student, you have considered everything very carefully. With the help of the Air Force, it will be impossible for the Japanese to break through our position!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's command, the Air Force Regiment launched the third wave of air strikes on the Japanese airport. The effect of this air strike was not particularly significant, but it focused on the Japanese fuel and ammunition depots, making it even more difficult for the Japanese 18th Division to deploy.

"Fujiwara-kun, all of our airports on the front line have been attacked by the enemy. Only two airports have survived. The fuel depots and ammunition depots of the remaining airports have been mostly destroyed. The runways and the fighter planes parked on them have also been completely destroyed. Even some of the fighter planes stored in the hangars did not survive."

"In the enemy's air raid last night, we lost a total of 39 combat aircraft, and nine fuel depots and eight ammunition depots were destroyed. The situation can be said to be extremely bad."

"According to reports from each squadron, we can only dispatch one fighter squadron and one bomber squadron tomorrow during the day to provide support to the front line." Colonel Nagata said with a grim expression.

Fujiwara Ichiro put down the pencil in his hand, stared at the map in front of him with a serious face, and replied anxiously: "Nagata-kun, the situation is worse than you said. We need to protect the safety of the 12th Army Headquarters and some central cities. The fighter force we can really mobilize is only one fighter squadron and one bomber brigade."

"Our enemy has more than 200 combat aircraft, which is not the enemy's full strength. We have tried our best to avoid a decisive air battle with the enemy, so the enemy's air force has not suffered much loss."

"Fortunately, I built a number of backup airports before, and arranged for them to be transported to the backup airports last night, so that our main air defense forces did not suffer much loss. What we lack most right now is fuel and ammunition. It is impossible to transport them in a very short time."

"I am least worried about the fuel problem. We have stored a lot of fuel before, but ammunition is what worries me the most. The production cost of bombs is very high. Only the enemy's modified oil barrel bombs are relatively cheap. We don't have enough transportation capacity and manpower to do this. Even if we have enough fighter planes, we can't launch an effective attack!"

"We now have guns but no bullets. We have a large number of fighter planes but not enough bombs. We can only continue to avoid fighting with the enemy. This matter needs to be reported to the 12th Army Headquarters immediately. At the same time, we must remind the front-line troops to prepare for air defense, otherwise they will easily suffer heavy losses."

After receiving the reminder from Fujiwara Ichiro, the Japanese 12th Army Command did not conceal the secret from the troops below, but urged them to start retreating immediately, while also making preparations for air defense in advance.

The atmosphere of the battle suddenly disappeared completely, making Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong feel like they were hitting cotton. It can be said that they were very uncomfortable.

"Damn it, we have already set up the stage, just waiting for the Japanese to come and let them have a taste of our power! But the Japanese actually began to retreat at the critical moment, which was beyond our expectations. We have to say that the Japanese are really dogs. When they find any signs of something wrong, they immediately run away. We can't catch up with them even if we chase them!"

Compared to Li Yunlong who was full of anger, Lin Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief. The Niangzi Pass position was almost lost tonight, and the Japanese tore a ten-meter hole in it. If the two of them had not been brought in in time and the last reserve team had not blocked it, the outcome of the battle might have really been rewritten.

"Old Li, stop complaining! The Japanese are only retreating temporarily, and they will probably regroup soon. We have to take advantage of these few days to rest and replenish our troops and ammunition. When the Japanese attack next time, the intensity of the attack will be even more fierce, and we may need to prepare in advance for the annihilation of the main force!"
