Devil's Army

Chapter 1236: 1st Army Air Force Creates Glory Again

The alarm at the Japanese Wuchang Nanhu Airport was sounded an hour in advance, but who knew that the devil unit's sharp fighter jets would arrive over the Wuchang Nanhu Airport in less than half an hour.

There were more than 80 Japanese Zero fighters at Wuchang Nanhu Airport.

Unfortunately, due to limited runway, the Japanese Zero fighters that took off urgently were quickly besieged by the superior Chinese II fighters of the First Army and were shot down one after another.

At the Nanhu Airport, Japanese fighter planes were still taking off to fight. But this time Leng Feng and Gray Wolf only left a small number of fighter planes to guard the base. Most of the fighter planes came out in full force, with the goal of destroying the Japanese Wuchang Nanhu Airport and the planes parked inside.

On the airport runway, a Japanese Zero fighter and bomber were gliding across the runway quickly, looking up into the blue sky.

Captain Yin and his wingman, who arrived just in time, strafed the Japanese fighter and bomber respectively.

This Japanese fighter and bomber was shot down while taking off before it could even get into position.

The bombers of the First Army began to bomb the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions at Wuchang Nanhu Airport. Bombs fell around the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.

The Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were like poisonous snakes spitting fire, pouncing on the First Army bombers that were bombing them.

The bombers of the First Army were hit and caught fire from time to time, but they did not retreat.

Because Leng Feng decided to severely damage the other two airports in Wuhan this time. (The three airports in Wuhan were home to the Navy's First and Second Joint Air Forces and the Army's Third Air Group. They were the culprits in the bombing of Chongqing.)

He wanted to let the Japanese army know that they could not just come into the Chinese sky as they pleased and bomb wherever they wanted.

The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions were constantly bombarded by the First Army's bombers.

The First Army's bombers were also constantly hit, damaged, and crashed.

After encircling and annihilating the Japanese fighter planes that took off for combat, the First Army's Hua Xia II fighter planes also participated in strafing the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.

Gradually, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns at Wuchang Nanhu Airport were all destroyed by the First Army's bombers and fighter planes.

The Japanese fighter planes that took off to fight were shot down one after another by the surrounding First Army fighter planes.

The Japanese fighters and bombers that did not have time to take off were bombed by the First Army bombers, and most of them were destroyed on the runway and apron.

In less than half a day, more than 70 Japanese fighters and bombers at Wuchang Nanhu Airport, except for a few fighters and bombers that took off and escaped earlier, were destroyed in the sky over the airport and on the apron.

The anti-aircraft artillery units at the Japanese airport also suffered devastating bombing.

After defeating the Japanese army at Wuchang Nanhu Airport, the fighters and bombers of the First Air Force's First Squadron flew to Chongqing Jiulongpo Airport in a high-profile manner.

Soon, because the Japanese army had made advance deployment at the Wuchang Xujiapeng Airport, some fighters and bombers evacuated the Wuchang Xujiapeng Airport in advance.

The Second Air Force Squadron of the First Army achieved only certain results in bombing the Japanese Xujiapeng Airport in Wuchang.

After the bombing, the fighters and bombers of the Second Squadron of the First Air Force landed in Chongqing Baishiyi Airport in a high-profile manner.

This was the first time since the middle of the Anti-Japanese War that so many Chinese planes landed at Chongqing Airport.

As the Chongqing government's propaganda was not in place, the citizens of Chongqing initially thought that Japanese planes were bombing again, causing some confusion.

The next day, the Chongqing government publicized the success of the air raid in the newspapers under its control, and also attached a lot of photos.

This air raid destroyed or damaged more than 110 Japanese fighters and bombers, while only 12 of their own planes were shot down and 21 fighters and bombers were damaged.

This made the First Anti-Japanese Army Air Force glorious again and became the focus of attention of the whole country.

The victory of this air raid greatly inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders' air force.

The air raid also angered the Japanese Naval Air Command and the Army Air Command.

On the one hand, they listed the First Anti-Japanese Army Air Force as the biggest threat, and on the other hand, they urged domestic arsenals to speed up the development of more advanced fighter jets.

However, due to the limitations of the knowledge level and aircraft production technology at the time, the speed of their aircraft could never reach half the speed of the sound barrier, let alone supersonic flight.

If they can't figure it out, they steal it. The Japanese Air Force once sent people to the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport to steal a pointed-nose aircraft and disassemble it for reverse research. However, due to the strict defense of the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, they failed.

Since there were the devil troops' pointed aircraft at the Chongqing airport, the Japanese army turned their attention to the Chongqing airport.
