    The bomb was dropped very accurately, and it actually hit the armored vehicle directly. With a loud "boom", the armored vehicle was blown to pieces. After the explosion, there was only a big smokey pit on the road, and the armored vehicle was crumbled.  Not much is left.

    Beside the highway, several Japanese officers who were hurriedly evacuating saw this scene and immediately shouted miserably: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

    The commander of the Little Japanese Major General Brigade was blown into ashes in this explosion.

    In the sky.

    A large number of Mustang fighters repeatedly dropped bombs on the Japs' team. Although the Japs' march was several kilometers long, there were too many Mustang fighters. Almost at the same time, the entire team was violently bombed.

    Each Mustang fighter carried six 150-kilogram bombs. In just a few minutes, everyone dropped almost all their bombs. Next, these Mustang fighters began to dive and strafe.

    ? One after another, the Mustang fighter jets roared and flew over the heads of the little devils. The six large-caliber machine guns on each Mustang fighter jet sprayed death flames and fired dense bullets at the little devils.

    The little devils who were running around were knocked down one after another by the dense bullets.

    A young Jaap Major, carrying his command knife, was running away in a panic. Under the cover of several young Japs, the young Jaap Major was already two to three hundred meters away from the road.

    In the sky, a Mustang fighter plane had already spotted the little Japanese officer who was escaping hastily. The Mustang fighter plane roared in, and the dense bullets smashed the little Japanese major who was desperately fleeing into a sieve. Several ordinary little Japanese soldiers next to him  .  It is also fatal or injured.

    Some little devils who were fleeing not far away were scared to death when they saw how ferocious this Mustang fighter was. Some of them actually threw away their 38-type rifles, screamed, and stumbled away.  Escape everywhere.

    96 Mustang fighter planes carried out fierce attacks in this area for three to forty minutes. It was not until all their bullets were used up that these planes began to return.

    on the ground.

    There are big pits everywhere.  There were corpses of little devils everywhere, and even scattered weapons were everywhere. It could be seen that this field brigade had suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties already being suffered.

    Seeing the Mustang fighters leaving, many of the fleeing Japs began to come back one after another. The remaining Japs looked sad when they saw the corpses on the ground, and many of them looked frightened.  Just now, so many planes were bombing us violently.  It's just horrible.

    At dawn, a large number of Mustang fighters and dozens of "Super Flying Fortress" bombers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army began to carry out fierce aerial attacks on the little devils. The little devil team just now was just one of the teams that suffered a blow.  In the first round, there were five or six little devil teams that were hit.

    There can be as little as one Mustang fighter squadron, as many as two or three Mustang fighter squadrons, and even up to 4 Mustang fighter squadrons like just now.  These planes carried out violent bombing and aerial attacks on the attacking teams of the Japs.

    This was just the first round of air strikes. After the first round, there were second, third, and even fourth and fifth rounds of strikes, with a large number of fighter planes frequently attacking.

    Under the fierce attack of the Chinese Air Force.  The Japanese army's active offensive plan was forced to interrupt, and after many Japanese teams suffered fatal blows, the Japanese began to switch to defense, focusing on air defense.

    but.  The little Japanese's air defense weapons are seriously insufficient, and fierce attacks by Chinese aircraft have continued.

    ****

    Outside Mandalay.

    Outside the entire city of Mandalay, ranging from a few kilometers to a dozen kilometers, the Japanese army built a large number of defensive positions. Because they knew that the Chinese Communist Party had a large number of aircraft, these defensive positions were relatively strong.

    Of course, this solidity is relative. The defending Japanese army thinks it is relatively solid, but whether it can withstand the bombing of heavy aerial bombs is still unknown.

    After daybreak, several reconnaissance planes have been conducting high-altitude reconnaissance near Mandalay. Many little devils in this area also discovered these reconnaissance planes. However, the height of these reconnaissance planes was too high, and the little devils' anti-aircraft mechanisms  The cannon was simply out of reach, so the little devils had no choice but to accept the fact of being investigated.

    At noon.

    Many little Japs are already preparing to have lunch. There are a large number of little Japs in many positions outside the city. The morale of the little Japs is not high. Many little Japs already know that after dawn today, a large number of Chinese aircraft will arrive.  Conduct violent air strikes against your own frontline troops.

    Although it is dozens of kilometers away from the front line, it is stationed in huge positions.The little devil didn't feel any relief at all, he was always worried about being bombed.

    The worries of these little devils are not unreasonable. At this time, not far from here, a huge "Super Sky Fortress" bomber group is flying towards this area. This is a formation of more than fifty bombers. It looks very  Fly huge.

    The size of the "Super Sky Fortress" is already larger than that of the Mustang fighter. With more than fifty bombers together, it looks very spectacular. It is simply a large area that blocks the sky and the sun.

    These planes are gradually lowering their altitude and approaching the Japanese defense positions outside Mandalay. The goal of these bombers is to bomb these defensive positions.

    This is a large defensive position. Relying on the undulating terrain, the Japanese army built a large number of fortifications in this area that is three to four kilometers long and more than one kilometer deep.

    There are trenches one after another, bunkers everywhere, some of which are cement bunkers, and a large number of anti-gun holes. The positions are full of little Japanese figures.

    Seeing a huge group of bombers approaching, more than a dozen two-unit 25mm cannons deployed on this position fired in advance, although these "Super Sky Fortress" bombers were far from the range of these anti-aircraft cannons.

    In the sky.

    The flying altitude of these dozens of bombers was at least six or seven thousand meters, which was still a certain distance from the defensive position. The soldiers did not expect that before they started bombing, the Japs opened fire first.

    "Comrades! The little devil's anti-aircraft weapon is a 25mm cannon. Pay attention to the bombing height."

    There was a sound coming from the radio system. The crew of each bomber knew that in the face of the 25mm cannon of the Japs, they only needed to keep the bombing altitude greater than 5,000 meters.

    This type of Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun is a Type 96 60 times 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, triple-mounted, with a muzzle velocity of 900 meters per second, a maximum range of 6,800 meters, a maximum firing height of 5,000 meters, and a rate of fire of 220 rounds per minute.  Many soldiers are already familiar with this 25mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun.

    The flying altitude of the "Super Flying Fortress" bomber formation dropped a little further, from six or seven thousand meters to more than five thousand meters. At this altitude, many aircraft were ready to drop bombs.

    Soon, aerial bombs weighing 200 kilograms roared towards the Jaap's defensive position, and violent explosions were heard.

    Many little Japs huddled in the trenches, as well as some little Japs in the bunkers, were killed one after another. Even the concrete bunkers built by the little Japs could not withstand the 200 kilograms of heavy aerial bombs.  One after another such bunkers were blown to pieces.

    The fortifications that the Japanese army thought were very strong were destroyed one by one in front of these heavy bombs.

    Even the solid cement bunkers were destroyed, not to mention the trenches. When a bomb went down, long trenches disappeared, and the little Japanese hiding in these trenches were also killed.

    Many little Japs, seeing how powerful the bombs of the Chinese *** team were, immediately rushed to the nearest bomb hole in a panic in order to avoid the bombing.

    The bomb-proof caves everywhere are crowded with little Japs. These bomb-proof caves are different from air-raid shelters. They are far less deep than air-raid shelters and do not go deep into the ground at all. They may be able to withstand the bombardment of 105 mm caliber heavy artillery, but in these 200  In front of the heavy bomb weighing 1 kilogram, it still seems not strong enough to withstand it.

    These bombproof holes are generally about ten meters deep, and some are only about a few meters deep. They are generally reinforced and supported with thick wood. There are few bombproof holes with cement structures.

    There are only a small number of cement-structured anti-blast holes. They are generally reserved for senior Japanese military officers or used as headquarters.

    At this time, a young Japanese colonel officer, several lieutenants and majors were hiding in a concrete shell-proof cave more than ten meters deep. This was also a wing headquarters, and there were even several radio stations in the shell-proof cave.  , and a table was set up.

    The little Japanese colonel who was hiding in this shell-proof cave looked very ugly. I don¡¯t know whether it was because the explosion outside was too violent and unbearable, or because his troops suffered too many casualties.

    The ugly-faced little Jaap Colonel passed through the cave entrance and looked at the huge explosion outside, with mud flying across the sky, huge pits, a large number of little Japs with broken limbs, and a large number of weapons and equipment flying in all directions with the air waves.  The Japanese colonel's face became a little ugly again.

    "Boom" an explosion sounded at the entrance of the cave. Half of the cave entrance was blown down. The little Japs in the cave were almost knocked unconscious, and several little Japs near the cave entrance were shocked to death.

    There was another loud "boom", and the little Japanese commander in the cave felt that the entire anti-gun cave was shaking. The cement and soil on the roof of the cave were falling down.??Many little Japanese were horrified to find that their shell-proof caves had been blown open and cracked.

    Just now, a 200-kilogram bomb exploded on the top of this bomb-proof cave. All the several meters of soil on the top of the bomb-proof cave was lifted up, revealing a large pit and the top of the cement. As long as another bomb explodes on top,  , this bombproof hole will be 100% destroyed.
