The Flying Fortress bombers equipped with new bombsights dropped aerial bombs and napalm bombs with extremely accurate landing points.

As strategic bombers passed over the Japanese airport.

Aerial bombs and napalm bombs also happened to fall on the Japanese airport.

"Boom boom boom——"

In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the rumble shook the sky.

From the bombardier's position in the sky, countless fireballs were seen rising in and around the Japanese airport, turning the entire airport into a sea of ​​flames.

The bombing mode this time was carpet bombing.

Each bomber carried at least 10 tons of aerial bombs and napalm.

Based on the average weight of an aerial bomb or napalm bomb of 100 kilograms, each strategic bomber carries approximately 100 aerial bombs and napalm bombs.

A small flying formation can carry more than 1,000 aerial bombs and napalm bombs.

The firepower is incredibly powerful.

In the sky, some Japanese planes have already taken off, and Japanese fighter jets and Japanese bombers like locusts are flying around in the mid-altitude area.

But it is a pity that the bombers of the Eighth Route Army were all above 8,000 meters. After dropping their bombs, they quickly pulled to more than 10,000 meters.

The Japanese fighters and bombers can only hover at an altitude of six to seven thousand meters.

The Japanese pilots could only watch helplessly as the Eighth Route Army bombers dropped aerial bombs on the airport near Shenyang.

"idiot."

On the ground, Shenyang Japanese Army Headquarters.

Hearing the news that airports had been bombed one after another, Lieutenant General Zhongshan Dun, the top commander of the Japs in the region, became furious.

He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army's air force would suddenly attack the airport near Shenyang.

Once the Eighth Route Army's air force succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Order all fighters to take off."

After all, he was a lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army, and he had an elite division under his command. Lieutenant General Zhongshan Dun was no ordinary person, so he quickly responded:

"Fire all anti-aircraft guns, and the enemy planes must be destroyed!"

"Hi." The Japanese staff officer lowered his head suddenly, turned around and hurried to deliver the order.

Although orders were issued, various countermeasures were taken, and tactical guidance was requested from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Zhongshan Dun's expression still showed no relief.

The empire has stronger domestic air defense capabilities and more fighter jets, so what?

The Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers were not able to come and go with ease. They bombed Tokyo and the aircraft carrier Xianghe, causing heavy losses. However, the enemy did not lose even a single bomber.

To put it bluntly, if the anti-aircraft firepower is too heavy and the fighter jets cannot catch up with the enemy bombers, they will be bombed in vain without even a chance to counterattack.

Zhongshan Dun quickly came outside, raised his telescope and looked at the sky.

The sharp whistling sound and the sound of the aircraft engine have become one.

The development of air strikes confirmed Zhongshan Dun's guess that Nakajima and Type 1 fighter jets could only fly up to six or seven kilometers before they could not fly.

The good news is that the Eighth Route Army bombers are not escorted by fighter jets.

The bad news is that the Japanese aircraft simply cannot reach the Eighth Route Army bombers.

Not long after, a staff officer looked ugly and hurried over: "General, all eleven airports and flight training grounds of the 2nd Flying Division and 6th Flying Division around Shenyang have been destroyed, and a large number of hangars, oil depots and The ammunition depot was destroyed, and at least 80 aircraft and 120 training aircraft were lost!"

"idiot!!"

When Zhongshan Dun heard this, his eyes were about to burst.

He cannot afford this loss.

At this moment, the communications staff hurriedly walked in: "General, I have just received a telegram from the headquarters that an enemy plane is rapidly approaching Harbin, Changchun. I ordered the Shenyang 2nd Flying Division and the 6th Flying Division to take off fighter jets to intercept."

Zhongshan Dun was suddenly shocked when he heard this. The enemy was aiming to wipe out the entire Kwantung Army aviation unit!

Since the Japanese homeland was attacked by strategic bombers of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, the Japanese aviation units in Manchuria have been preparing for air attacks by the Eighth Route Army strategic bombers, and even conducted simulation exercises.

That's why the Japanese were able to take off some fighter jets and bombers in such a fast time to minimize losses.

but.

After all, the Japanese did not have bombers capable of fighting at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers.

The Japanese do not have strategic bombers. Even if the Japanese have strategic bombers, they will hardly pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army's arsenals and military facilities.

Because the Eighth Route Army is currently equipped with jet Saber fighters that can fight at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Zhongshan Dun quickly issued an order: "Order some of the fighter jets that have taken off to intercept in the northeast direction, and some of them will quietly follow the Eighth Route Army bombers to North China. Once the Eighth Route Army bombers are found landing, attack them immediately!"

"Hi." The Japanese communications staff member bowed his head first, and then asked, "What about the fighter jets and bombers that took off?"

At present, the airports around Shenyang are being bombed, and the fighter jets and bombers that have taken off have no place to land after they fly back.

"The fighter jets and bombers took off," Zhongshan Dun said, "landing at the Locust Army Airport on the peninsula."

"Hi."

The communications staff officer suddenly lowered his head and turned to leave.

After the 1st bombing formation of the Eighth Route Army finished bombing the Japanese airports around Shenyang, Wang Hexin immediately ordered to return.

At this time, the 2nd Bomb Group and the 3rd Bomb Group were still on their way to Harbin and Changchun.

As soon as the bombing began in Shenyang, coupled with the rumbling sound of flying, the Japanese set up lookout posts throughout Manchuria and quickly reported the situation to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Fighters and attack aircraft took off from various places to intercept.

But what made the Japanese pilots uncomfortable was that the Japanese fighter jets and attack aircraft could not reach the Eighth Route Army bombers at all.

I could only watch helplessly as the Eighth Route Army bombers headed for the target airspace.

The Japanese fighter jets around Shenyang were quietly following behind the 1st bomber formation of the Eighth Route Army.

Prepare for a surprise attack when the Eighth Route Army bombers land.

I can't hit you at high altitude, but you will always land, right?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The range of the Japanese fighter jets is not far. If the Eighth Route Army’s airport is in Shanxi, then the Japanese fighter jets will have a long range from taking off to fighting and then returning.

It has to be more than 2200 kilometers.

Moreover, it is no secret that the Eighth Route Army is equipped with advanced radar.

Once a Japanese fighter plane enters the North China airspace, it will be detected by the Eighth Route Army's radar.

It can be said that the Japanese fighter jets and pilots who followed the Eighth Route Army bombers into the North China airspace this time were in danger.

But the Japanese pilots all followed the bombers without hesitation.

At first, the Eighth Route Army bombers did not detect the trailing Japanese plane.

But the bomber group had just approached North China when Wang Hexin received news from the radar station.

However, the Eighth Route Army bomber crew did not panic and flew to Beiping Xijiao Airport as usual.

At this time, the Sabre fighter jets and Hellcat fighter jets taking off from Peiping Airport met the Japs' trailing formation.

Under the guidance of the radar station, the new regiment's fighter formation quickly found the Japanese fighter formation.

Facing the sudden attack, the Japanese pilots were not confused and were ready for battle.

The Japanese pilots indeed have a strong will to fight, but the pilots of the Eighth Route Army are not vegetarians, and even the New Regiment has many ace pilots.

Under the double stranglehold of the Saber fighter squadron and the Hellcat squadron.

The air battle was almost one-sided. The Japanese fighter jets were blown up one after another and fell like turkeys.

In this battle, the Japs shot down more than 30 fighter jets.

As for the New Regiment, except for one pilot who was unlucky and his Hellcat fighter jet was hit and exploded by a Japs pilot's fighter jet, there was only one other Hellcat fighter jet that was slightly injured.

After Wang Hexin led the bomber formation to fly back to Peking Airport, the pilots took a short rest.

Engineers immediately overhauled the bomber, and ground crews prepared high-grade aviation fuel and aerial bombs and napalm.

The Japanese airports around Shenyang have been bombed, and next they will bomb the Japanese arsenals and automobile factories.

After lunch, Wang Hexin led the bomber formation again and flew towards Shenyang.

At this time, the 3rd bomber formation of the Eighth Route Army had just returned from bombing the Japanese airports around Harbin.

afternoon.

The Japanese were able to extinguish the burning airports around Shenyang.

After listening to the report from his staff that they had put out the fire, Lieutenant General Zhongshan Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This bombing caused heavy losses to the Kwantung Army aviation unit.

However, the Kwantung Army had long expected that Manchuria would be bombed by the Eighth Route Army aviation unit.
