Chen Feng nodded. Sacrifice was inevitable. Compared with the results of the battle, the loss of these planes was nothing.

At twelve noon, Zhengzhou City was visible from afar. A row of generals blocked the road ahead, led by General Li Zongren.

"Captain Leng Qiang, long time no see!"

"Commander Li, it's been a long time since we last met. We finally have the opportunity to fight side by side again."

Li Zongren and Chen Feng briefly introduced the generals behind them, all of whom were lieutenant generals, and there was only one major general, Liu Lihui.

"Let's go to the air-raid shelter, Li Hui, and deliver food and vegetables to the brother troops."

"Yes"!

Chen Feng only brought Li Yunyan and followed Li Zongren into the air-raid shelter.

The sand table was ready. The war situation was urgent and since they were all soldiers, there was no need for excessive greetings.

"Captain Lengqiang, tell me about your plan!"

Chen Feng first learned about the city defense of Zhengzhou City, pondered for a moment, and then picked up the baton.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, our bombers and fighter planes will arrive. Sixty bombers will launch a bombing campaign based on the targets you provided, and will bomb the Japanese heavy artillery positions, artillery positions, military camps and city defense fortifications in turn. However, there are not enough planes, and we may not be able to take care of the military camps and city defense fortifications."

"We have this too. I will call in more than a hundred bombers and fifty or sixty fighter jets."

Seeing Chen Feng's surprised expression, Li Zongren explained:

"They were all supported by the Americans and flew over from the Hump Route."

"That's great. The east side of the city will be left to us. We expect to break through the defense line within an hour."

It took an hour for Chen Feng to cooperate with Li Zongren to make a detailed battle plan. After the bombing, hundreds of artillery fired at the same time. The Yimeng guerrillas attacked the east of the city, Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division attacked the west of the city, and the other two main divisions attacked the south and north of the city. In order to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through, two armies had to be trapped outside.

"Okay, there's still an hour left before the attack. The food is ready. Let's eat a little first, and then you and I can have a drink after we take Zhengzhou."

Eight dishes and two soups were not simple. As the war was urgent, no alcohol was served. After half an hour of lunch, Chen Feng took Li Yunyan away.

The Yimeng guerrillas' plane arrived at two o'clock, and the National Army's flying team arrived at one forty-five. They arrived fifteen minutes earlier probably because they were afraid that Chen Feng's plane would suffer too much damage, so they tested the firepower and blocked the Japanese planes in advance.

The fighters were circling and the bombers were beginning to dive. The Japanese did not have much anti-aircraft firepower, and the sound of death from the dives and the sharp explosions of the bombs were very shocking.

As soon as the bombing started, Japanese planes arrived and the Nationalist fighter planes immediately met the enemy. Hundreds of fighter planes immediately intertwined together.

The Yimeng guerrillas had no time to prepare trenches, so they set up anti-aircraft positions as they did in the morning to protect the soldiers and convoy below.

The planes were falling like dumplings. Some Japanese fighter planes crossed the blockade and targeted the Kuomintang bombers. The fighter planes here immediately followed and entangled them. The battle in the whole sky was extremely fierce.

"Captain, the flight team will arrive at the battlefield in five minutes, Jennings requests a call."

Chen Feng took the microphone.

"Jennings, I'm calling you cold gun. There's an air battle going on over Zhengzhou. After the fighter planes arrived, they immediately started chasing the Japanese planes. The bombers are circling the north of the city, waiting for the Kuomintang bombers to finish their bombing."

Dozens of fighter planes arrived, and two or three of them formed a formation and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese planes that were in combat. The ace pilots were very crucial. Their planes flew up and down, easily locking onto the target and opening fire, and they could basically damage the Japanese planes with just one shot.

The Japanese had lost more than half of their planes and had no power to fight back against the dozens of newly added fighter planes. In less than twenty minutes, the last Japanese plane was blown up in mid-air, and the air battle was temporarily over.

The Kuomintang bombers had also dropped their bomb formations. Chen Feng called Jennings to start the bombing immediately. The pilots made their own judgments based on the previous coordinates. If there was a point in bombing, they would drop bombs. If not, they would bomb the next target.

The sound of death and the terrible screams sounded again. A Kuomintang fighter suddenly turned towards Chen Feng. The team members were a little nervous, but the fighter just flew around Chen Feng, occasionally turning the fuselage to wave and say hello. After looking carefully, it was Lin Heng. Chen Feng waved, and Lin Heng controlled the plane to flip several somersaults and caught up with the returning formation.

The bombing was over and the planes had just left the formation when a signal was sent from the direction of the Fifth War Zone Command.

"fire"!

boom! Boom boom boom!

There were more than 150 field guns of the Yimeng Guerrillas, more than mountain guns and field guns of the Fifth War Zone of the National Army, and several -caliber heavy guns, which must have been captured from the Japanese somewhere.

The entire city of Zhengzhou was shaking, with explosions everywhere. The Japanese city defenses had been blown to pieces by bombers. Faced with such intense shelling, the city wall defenses, which were not permanent fortifications, suffered serious damage.

"Artillery camp, concentrate your fire!"

Chen Feng gave the order, and the mountain artillery immediately adjusted the firing scale and launched intensive bombardment at the middle city wall.

boom!

In just over ten minutes, the dilapidated city wall finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed more than a hundred meters with a loud crash.

"Artillery camp, extend the artillery fire"!

"Mortars opened fire, with twenty rapid-fire rounds covering the inner perimeter of the city wall."

The Japanese army knew the seriousness of the problem and went to support the collapsed city wall in large numbers.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The artillery fire extended forward and to both sides, just hitting the Japanese who were supporting the collapsed city wall. There was a scene of ghosts wailing and wolves howling. The Japanese reinforcements suffered heavy losses in the artillery fire and had just gathered in place when the mortars here opened fire.

More than a hundred mortars fired twenty rounds at high speed, more than two thousand shells were fired in one minute. The city walls were shaking violently and the explosions sounded like dense thunder, which was too shocking.

"Machine gun cover, commandos, go ahead!"

Anti-aircraft machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns opened fire, and the gap in the city wall was completely covered by a barrage of bullets. The rocket soldiers were in the front, and the commandos holding AK-47 rifles were behind them. They rushed into the gap like a tide, and there was no resistance. Any Japs who wanted to resist were all turned into pieces.

Tsk! Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Rockets were flying everywhere, regardless of whether there were firing points or not, they would bomb wherever they could see.

At the Fifth War Zone Command Post, a group of generals were terrified. With such firepower, no fortifications or positions could withstand it. Just from that round of shelling, even those hiding in the permanent fortifications would have been shaken to the point of bleeding!

"Commander Li, it is so shocking. It is better to meet you in person than to hear about you. After witnessing this scene with my own eyes, I will never have the thought of making an enemy again."

"Brother Jiansheng, are you scared? That shouldn't be the case!"

"Brother Delin, I'm not worried about the firepower. This thing can be bought as long as you have money. What I'm afraid of is their tactical qualities. You can see it. The field artillery, mortars, rockets, and commandos are all in order. The sequence is perfect. There is almost no pause. The field artillery blew down the city wall, and the Japanese troops inside didn't stand any chance."
