My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

As the order to attack was given, the two airports were attacked simultaneously.

Even though there are many defensive facilities around the airport, the enemy numbers are as many as 20,000 to 30,000, and they are all carefully selected, giving them the advantage of being able to launch a surprise attack.

So the Anmin Army quickly attacked. At this time, the airport pilots also reacted. After discovering that they were attacked, they immediately prepared to launch the plane into the air.

However, the Anmin Army would not let them have their way. When they saw the plane start to accelerate, they directly pointed several machine guns at it and emptied the magazines.

The Japanese pirates' planes and tanks were notoriously thin on the outside but large on the inside. They were shot through by the machine guns.

As for the pilot inside, how could he have a chance of survival after being hit by bullets for a minute?

Seeing the fighter planes being destroyed one after another, the airport defenders went crazy. Their mission here was to protect the fighter planes, but now the mission has failed. If they go back, they will only be able to atone for their sins with death.

They simply stopped holding their ground and waiting for help, and instead fought like crazy, shooting at the Anmin Army. Even though they had some advantages in terrain, they could not withstand the siege of an enemy that outnumbered them by several times.

Therefore, this battle was completely settled within an hour.

The commanders of the two armies, seeing that the enemy had been defeated, immediately sent people to clean up the battlefield. As for what they were cleaning up in this surprise attack?

Of course, it is impossible to carefully count the spoils and then rescue the wounded like in other battles.

Instead, they quickly finished off the Japanese pirates, then took all the usable weapons, and finally put the airport bombs and the ammunition that could not be taken away together.

Finally, before the enemy reinforcements arrived, they poured gasoline and threw down several bundles of grenades, destroying them all in one go.

To be honest, it’s not that they didn’t want to fly these intact planes back, but the surprise attack troops came in a hurry and didn’t bring any pilots, so naturally they couldn’t take them away.

Secondly, the Japanese pirates were constantly engaged in an arms race between their navy and army, so other people who had not received specific training had no idea how to fly their planes.

So after thinking for a while, they could only reluctantly blow up the remaining planes and then quickly evacuate the area.

When Song Jin Shigen learned the news, he immediately became furious. He knew that they could now withstand attacks from enemies that were several times their number.

A big part of the reason is the fire support from aircraft. Now all 80 aircraft of the army have been lost, and if they want to transport aircraft from the rear.

I'm afraid it will take at least several days, by which time the day lily will be cold.

Song Jin Shigen became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He was angry in the military tent for half an hour before he came to his senses.

He immediately ordered people to inquire about the navy's aircraft losses, and when he learned that the navy had not been attacked, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the navy's planes are still there, we will still have air superiority. It should not be difficult to hold out until reinforcements arrive with the help of the tank unit's remaining planes.

However, just as he was urgently contacting the rear and requesting reinforcements, the battle on the front line started again.

He had long been accustomed to this. He knew that this was a routine attack by the Security Army. They would launch a round of attacks every morning and they would not be very fierce.

However, this time it was beyond his expectations. The battle never stopped after it started, and the exchange of fire became more and more intense.

So he immediately called the soldiers to inquire, and finally found out that the enemy had mobilized 24 tanks and launched a fierce attack on the position, as if they wanted to take the position in one go.

Now, Matsui Iwane, who had been ambushed at the airport and was already insane, now saw that the enemy actually wanted to take him down in one fell swoop.

He simply stopped holding back and immediately requested support from naval aircraft and sent out his own tank units, preparing to launch a counterattack against the enemy to let them see how powerful the Japanese samurai were.

And things turned out exactly as he expected. After he sent out his armored forces, the enemy's offensive was instantly cut off, and several of the twenty or so tanks were destroyed.

At this time, the Japanese pirates' naval support also arrived at the battlefield. Their target this time was very clear, that was the enemy's tank troops.

But why did Jiang Li send out these twenty or so tanks?

Of course, he was planning to go fishing, because as early as when he learned that the Japanese pirate airport had been attacked, he realized that the enemy's air force strength had been halved.

But the remaining naval aircraft still outnumbered his own, so he specially planned such a fishing operation.

That is, when the enemy sends out bombers to bomb your tanks, you send out your fighter jets to carry out targeted elimination of the enemy.

Because he knew very well that the Japanese pirate navy was powerful. Since they had aircraft carriers, they must also have frigates, and these large ships must have many anti-aircraft weapons installed.

With just his 32 bombers and 21 fighters, it would be difficult to destroy the enemy's naval flight force.

That's why we specially designed such a fishing plan, which is to severely damage the enemy's naval flight force in one fell swoop when the enemy turns his attention to the ground tank forces.

However, what Jiang Li did not expect was that this time he not only caught such a big fish as a naval aircraft, but also got an unexpected gain.

That is, the enemy actually sent out more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles in an attempt to launch a counterattack.

Seeing this, he immediately gave an order and sent out all the planes in his hands. Twenty-one fighter planes attacked the enemy bombers directly.

Thirty-two bombers headed straight for the enemy tank unit.

This was a good thing. Due to the successful fighting over the past few days, the Japanese pirates looked down on the Allied Forces and believed that the enemy did not have an air force.

Therefore, every time a bombing is carried out, the number of fighter jets used to escort the bombers is consciously reduced. This time, only four fighter jets were dispatched.

So when they just arrived above the battlefield, they saw twenty-one fighter planes coming towards them, and they were so scared that their diapers got wet.

They are all veteran pilots who have served in the military for many years and they know too well what numerical advantage means in air combat.

That was a complete crushing defeat, there was absolutely no logic at all, especially when the gap was several times as big, there was absolutely no chance of winning at all.

As for the thirty or forty bombers, there is no need to include them in the count, because even a layman can tell from the names that the two are totally incomparable.

举个例子大家或许就明白了，1945 年 4 月 26 日，一队由 10 多架“野马式”战斗机护航的美军 B-26“掠夺者”轰炸机在多瑙河上空执行轰炸任务时，遭遇了德国的 Me262 喷气战斗机。

A total of 6 bombers were shot down by 262 Me35s, and the Me262s themselves suffered no losses.
