At this time, the Japanese army was on the Dongshan position.

Countless Japs were crawling on the ground, hiding in the dense jungle, with various light and heavy machine guns aimed at the southwest sky.

"The Eighth Route Army plane is coming, be ready!"

A Japanese squadron leader shouted loudly, with fanatical eyes and tone.

Hearing the sound of the plane, more than ten Japs and ninety-four trucks were ready. According to the plan, the Japs driver immediately drove the trucks out of hiding and marched on the Dongshan Highway in a swagger.

On the truck were boxes of ammunition.

However, these ammunition boxes are empty.

This transport convoy is a bait thrown by the Japanese to lure the Eighth Route Army planes. It may be blown up by the Eighth Route Army planes as they break through the defense line.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Japanese to use real ammunition boxes as bait.

However, the Japanese driver and the Type 94 truck are genuine.

Higuchi Kiichiro was very good at settling accounts, exchanging truck drivers and Type 94 trucks for Eighth Route Army pilots and aircraft.

Make sure you make money!

The Japanese's temporary Higashiyama Air Defense Headquarters was commanded by Chief of Staff Koichi Suzuki of the 9th Division.

Suzuki Koichi received an order from the division commander Higuchi Kiichiro to immediately evacuate Higashiyama.

but.

There were about 30,000 Japanese troops crowded in the Dongshan area, and there was no way he could give the order to retreat to every ambush position within a minute.

Based on the communication situation of the Japanese army, it was impossible to lay telephone lines to every air defense position and the order to retreat could be transmitted to the ears of every soldier.

To put it bluntly, even if Higuchi Kiichiro could transmit the order to every soldier's ear within one minute.

With so many Japanese soldiers, it was impossible for them all to evacuate within a few minutes.

"idiot!"

After receiving the order from the commander of the 9th Division, Captain Suzuki was sweating profusely.

The attack signal for Eighth Route Army aircraft was to fire red flares.

When the Eighth Route Army aircraft discovered the transport convoy in Dongshan and then conducted dive bombing and strafing operations, they fired red flares.

When the Japanese soldiers saw the red signal flare, the rifles, light and heavy machine guns and 20mm machine guns on each anti-aircraft position opened fire together, which was sure to shoot down the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

but.

The Japanese thought that the ambush was a sure thing, and because of the rush, they did not make an emergency plan for emergencies, not even a detailed combat plan.

"Immediately order all ambush troops to retreat immediately!"

Hearing the sound of Eighth Route Army planes getting louder and louder in his ears, Suzuki Koichi looked at the communications staff officer and gave the order with wide eyes.

"retreat?"

The Japanese communications officer sounded puzzled, as if he didn't believe his ears.

Aren't we going to ambush the Eighth Route Army's plane? The Eighth Route Army's plane will be arriving soon. Why don't we just fly?

"Baga! Don't you understand me?"

"All troops evacuate Dongshan!"

"immediately!"

Koichi Suzuki suddenly grabbed the collar of the communications staff officer and said angrily.

"Hi."

The communications staff officer turned around and went to deliver the order.

But it is a pity that only a few of the Japs' main air defense positions have telephone lines connected to the headquarters.

These air defense positions received the order to retreat. As soon as the order was conveyed, the Eighth Route Army planes already arrived in the sky of Dongshan.

"idiot!!"

In the air defense headquarters, through the telescope, Colonel Suzuki Koichi looked at about 40 aircraft appearing in the sky.

His expression changed drastically.

These planes are coming for the locust army in Dongshan.

"Colonel, the enemy plane is flying at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters!"

The Japanese air defense expert on the side sounded desperate.

This height is far beyond the range of the Type 92 and Type 96 light machine guns. Even the Type 98 20mm cannon can hardly hit enemy aircraft.

Although the maximum anti-air range of the Type 98 cannon can reach 5,500 meters, its effective anti-air range is only 3,500 meters.

At first, Li Yunlong planned to let the bombers drop bombs at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.

However, after calculations by professional pilots such as Zheng Shaoqiang, bombers can drop bombs at an altitude of 4 kilometers, which will not affect the accuracy of bomb delivery and greatly reduce the chance of the aircraft being shot down.

The flying fortress produced by this system can even drop bombs at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 meters with guaranteed accuracy.

Of course, this also requires good weather conditions to achieve good accuracy, mainly because this flying fortress is equipped with a very advanced sight.

"Enemy planes are starting to drop bombs..."

The lookout soldier responsible for the observation widened his eyes and breathed rapidly.

Koichi Suzuki hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the sky. He saw the fortress-like bombers lined up in a bombing formation. Under the escort of more than 10 fighter jets, the bomb bays had been opened one after another.

Then, one after another aerial bombs and napalm bombs continued to leave the bomb bay.

Countless large cylindrical bombs suddenly rolled down and formed a string of bomb lines in the air.

Suzuki Koichi's expression changed drastically, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "Baga, get down quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Suzuki Koichi took a lunge, jumped suddenly and rolled into a hidden circular sandbag formation.

In this circular sandbag position, there is a twin-mounted 20mm Type 98 machine gun and several anti-aircraft soldiers.

"Fire!"

Without enough time to explain, Suzuki Koichi gave the order in a cold tone.

"Boom boom…"

The Japanese anti-aircraft soldiers immediately opened fire in the sky.

As soon as the fire started here, the other Japanese machine gun positions also opened fire. The Japanese light and heavy machine gunners also opened fire, and the Japanese riflemen also opened fire.

"Boom boom…"

"Da da da…"

Accompanied by gunshots that sounded like exploding beans, a barrage of fire composed of rain of bullets as dense as locusts instantly enveloped the Eighth Route Army aircraft in the sky.

High in the air.

Looking down from the perspective of Eighth Route Army pilots and bombardiers.

Sparks appeared as dense as stars in the entire Dongshan area, and at least more than 20,000 weapons fired into the air at the same time.

But unfortunately, at a height of more than 4,000 meters, the Japanese rifles and machine guns are out of reach, and it is difficult for the Japanese machine guns to form effective air defense.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! One operation is as fierce as a tiger, but it is difficult to cause effective damage to the Eighth Route Army's aircraft.

The sharp whistling sound of falling aerial bombs sounded above the heads of the Japs. The whistling sound did not last long, and then there was an overwhelming sound of explosions in the ears of the Japs!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Accompanied by constant thunderous explosions, huge circles of fireballs, air waves, and red mushroom clouds swept around.

Shake the mountains.

It was as if the whole world was shaking with the explosion.

The explosive mushroom smoke clouds raised by the aerial bombs were like carpets, spreading forward with the speed of the aircraft.

The countless Japs hiding in Dongshan were shattered into pieces at this moment!

The Japanese who were not hit by the explosion were also shaken dizzy by the explosion, and some even went deaf.

The Japanese on the edge of Dongshan ran away, only hating their parents for missing two legs.

The escorting fighter jets also dropped napalm bombs hanging under the aircraft.

One napalm bomb can blow up half a mountain!

A considerable number of the bombs dropped by heavy bombers were also napalm bombs!

The first wave of bombing included a total of 15 fighter jets and 25 Flying Fortress bombers!

This wave of bombing.

Half of Dongshan was shrouded in smoke and fire, and the flames caused by the explosion of napalm bombs spread everywhere. Countless Japanese were either torn apart by the bombs or burned to ashes in just a few seconds.

The flames are raging into the sky, just like purgatory on earth.
