- More than a thousand soldiers, carrying AK47 assault rifles, and some even carrying squad machine guns, shouted and rushed down the hilltop, and soon began to shoot at the little Japs. §êw§ë
At this time, the Little Japanese tanks were basically lost and turned into piles of scrap metal. The remaining dozen or so tanks would soon be cleared by armed helicopters from the sky.
The infantry of the little devils were now in a panic. The strong performance of the armed helicopters had completely destroyed the morale of these little devils. When the little devils saw a large number of soldiers rushing over, the little devils did not resist, but scattered. Escape.
The battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre. With the cooperation of helicopters, in less than half an hour, all the remaining more than a thousand Japs were wiped out. Those who wanted to escape could not escape from the armed helicopters. The pursuit was almost cut into pieces by the 127mm machine gun on the armed helicopter.
On the second day of this battle, more than 200 Mustang fighters and 20 "Super Flying Fortress" fighters of the Chinese Air Force took off from Baoshan Airport and Ruili Airport on the China-Myanmar border respectively to retaliate against Lashio, an important town in northern Myanmar. Sex bombing.
This was a temporary order issued by Zhang Yunfei. When Zhang Yunfei learned that the Japs actually ambushed his infantry regiment, Zhang Yunfei immediately issued an order to carry out a two-day large-scale bombing of Lashio, an important town in northern Myanmar where the Japanese army was heavily stationed.
When a huge fleet of Chinese Air Force aircraft flew over Lashio, the Japanese troops stationed in Lashio had not had time to react. There were five Japanese divisions stationed in Lashio. Including other auxiliary personnel and arms, there are nearly 200,000 Japanese troops.
The strategic location of Lashio is very important. Lashio is not only the capital of Shan State in northern Myanmar. It is also the city closest to the Chinese border in Myanmar. In addition, Lashio is also the starting point of the Burma Highway.
Lashio also has an airport and a train station, and the transportation is relatively developed. The little devils know that once Lashio is occupied by the Chinese ***, the Chinese *** will not only be able to drive straight into Mandalay, but also. The Chinese People's Liberation Army can use this place as an advance base. Some strategic materials can be continuously transported here. The Chinese People's Liberation Army's aircraft can also be stationed here to directly threaten Mandalay.
Lashio Airport.
This is a medium-sized airport built here after Japan invaded Southeast Asia and occupied Lashio. According to the size of the airport. Hundreds of aircraft can be stationed here, and in its heyday, Lashio Airport once hosted more than a hundred aircraft.
As many aircraft were transferred to the Pacific battlefield and never returned, and Japan surrendered, the number of aircraft at Lashio Airport has not been replenished. Now, there are only more than thirty aircraft at the empty Lashio Airport. And it is mainly an old model of Nakajima aircraft, with almost no Zero fighters. In addition, there are a few Japanese transport aircraft.
Of course the Japanese troops at Lashio Airport also knew that the Chinese troops were heading south along the Burma Highway. The leading troops of the Chinese ** Corps were less than fifty kilometers away from Lashio, and the Chinese ** Corps had already begun to exchange fire with the Japanese army in Lashio.
Lashio Airport naturally entered a state of combat. The Japanese troops at Lashio Airport are also on standby at any time and can take off to fight with the Chinese Army at any time.
A young Japanese major general in charge of defense at Lashio Airport is convening a meeting of young Japanese officers in his airport headquarters.
Major General Xiaojiazi still doesn¡¯t know that his airport has been listed as one of the first targets of the Chinese Air Force¡¯s large-scale bombing of Lashio.
This time, the Chinese ** team dispatched so many aircraft, a total of 10 squadrons of Mustang fighters, plus "20 Super Sky Fortress" bombers. The first round of bombing will hit several targets in Lashio, including not only Lashio Airport, but also It also includes several large-scale fortifications built by the Japanese army based on the terrain outside Lashio City.
In the command room of Lashio Airport, a group of little devils who were having a meeting seemed to have low morale. Facing the powerful Chinese Air Force, these little devils knew that they might not be their opponents. However, since the Chinese ** team began to attack Lashio, then Sooner or later, he will have to fight the Chinese Air Force.
However, these little Japanese have long heard about the power of the Chinese Air Force. Even their most advanced Zero fighters are no match for Chinese fighters, not to mention that they are only equipped with some older Nakajima aircraft, and the number is still small. Not much, just over thirty.
A group of young Japanese officers were having a meeting. Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded at the airport. A radar deployed at Lashio Airport finally discovered the Chinese aircraft fleet less than 100 kilometers away from the airport.
The Japanese military radar at Lashio Airport is relatively backward. It can only detect a fleet of aircraft within 100 kilometers away from itself, or a single aircraft within 50 kilometers away from itself. Although this kind of radar is relatively backward, it was only equipped at Lashio Airport a few months ago. .
Considering that Lashio Airport is relatively close to China, the Japanese Supreme Command in Southeast Asia deployed one of its few radars at Lashio Airport.
Hearing the shrill alarm, all the little Japanese officers who were in the meeting stood up. The little Japanese were shocked. Listening to the sound of the alarm, it should be a large number of enemy planes coming.
Sure enough, soon a little Japanese officer hurried in. He didn't even have time to shout a report, and immediately said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Major General! We found a large number of planes flying towards us. They may be the squadron of the Chinese Army." .¡±
Hearing this, Major General Xiaojiazi, who was in charge of Lashio Airport, also looked anxious, and immediately ordered all aircraft to take off to meet the enemy. Major General Xiaojiazi knew that since the Chinese aircraft fleet was attacking in large numbers, an air battle between himself and the Chinese Air Force was inevitable.
After issuing the order, Major General Xiaoguizi was vaguely worried that he might not be a match for the Chinese Air Force. He only had more than thirty aircraft, and the air defense firepower on the airport seemed relatively weak, except for four twin-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft cannons. In addition, there are only a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns.
Thinking of this, the little Japanese Major General looked helpless.
The little Japanese planes were ready to take off. Before they could form an air formation, the little Japanese discovered that a large number of planes were flying towards them. They were a formation of 20 "Super Sky Fortress" bombers and two Mustang fighters.
The 20 "Super Flying Fortresses" were fully loaded with aerial bombs. Their mission was to destroy the Jaap's airport and the defenders near the Jaap's airport. However, the two Mustang fighter squadrons did not hang any bombs. The mission of the Mustang fighter was to escort, and The little devil's fighter plane duel.
Soon, the air battle was carried out at high altitude. Considering the anti-aircraft firepower of Lashio Airport, both the "Super Sky Fortress" bomber and the Mustang fighter were flying at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters.
Seeing the Chinese aircraft fleet hovering at high altitude, and the huge bombers of the Chinese aircraft fleet seemed to be about to start dropping bombs, the little devil's Nakajima fighter planes were forced to climb up and engage in high-altitude combat with the Chinese aircraft fleet.
The altitude of eight thousand meters is already the limit of the Nakajima 97 aircraft. Many of the Little Japanese pilots felt short of breath and a little hypoxic. However, before the Little Japanese had barely time to adapt, a large number of Mustang fighters began to dive. Shot.
The Mustang fighter fleet has been circling at high altitude. Seeing the Japs' fleet climbing up with difficulty, many soldiers smiled slightly and immediately swooped down to shoot fiercely at the Japs' fleet.
The air battle begins immediately.
At Lashio Airport, some Japanese officers were paying attention to this air battle. Seeing that the altitude of the air battle was so high, these Japanese officers were also worried, especially the little Japanese major general, whose face was very ugly.
In the sky, the sound of intensive shooting continued. It was a large number of Mustang fighters that were firing fiercely. Each Mustang fighter had six 127mm machine guns. When the Mustang fighters fired, the firepower was very terrifying.
On the ground, many Japanese officers who were paying attention to the air battle could still see clearly through their telescopes. They saw that the Chinese fighter planes opened fire first. Soon, three or four of their own planes were hit by bullets and fell straight to the ground. These little Japanese who were watching the battle. The officer's expression changed greatly.
"idiot!"
Major General Xiaojiazi shouted angrily. Although Major General Xiaojiazi knew that he had little chance of winning this air battle, within half a minute of the start, three or four of his planes were shot down. Major General Xiaojiazi Still can't accept it.
The little Japanese pilots who were fighting with the soldiers were caught off guard as soon as the two sides started fighting. Several planes were shot down. These little Japanese pilots were also trembling, and some of them even turned a little pale.
However, soon, the Little Japanese fighter planes were shot down one after another. The two sides were quite different in terms of the number of aircraft and their performance, and the air battle immediately became one-sided.
A Mustang fighter pilot, who had just shot down a Japanese Nakajima-97 fighter, let out a roar of joy and immediately turned his attention to a Nakajima-type aircraft not far away.
This soldier flew his Mustang fighter, and with a beautiful and skillful tactical move, he quickly came behind the Nakajima 97 aircraft, and the Nakajima aircraft was not aware of it.
"The second one!!!"
While the soldier was firing, he silently thought to himself that this would be the second aircraft he shot down. Six machine guns on the Mustang fighter fired a salvo. Soon, the Nakajima Type 97 aircraft was braving open flames and thick smoke. The smoke went to the ground.
Seeing that the second plane was shot down, the soldier cheered again. However, soon, the soldier found that two Nakajima aircraft behind him were flying towards him.
This soldier was also lucky and accidentally discovered the Chinese aircraft behind him. If he had been less lucky and had not discovered the two aircraft that sneaked up on him, it would have been a disaster.
lookAt this scene, the soldier thought to himself, he was careless, he just got carried away.
