Devil's Army

The Japanese pilots tried their best to escape, but they were caught up and shot down by the Kunming Air Force one after another due to their aircraft's absolute disadvantage in performance.

After eliminating the fighter planes at the Japanese coastal defense airport, the Kunming Air Force began to eliminate the anti-aircraft artillery units at the Japanese coastal defense airport.

The anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Japanese Haiphong Airport was not on the same level as the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the rebuilt Hanoi Airport, both in terms of scale and quantity.

As soon as the Kunming air force arrived over Haiphong Airport, they were immediately strafed by Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. However, the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by Japanese pilots made the Kunming air force very angry.

Before setting off, Deputy Captain Hu had already issued an order to completely eliminate the threat posed by Japanese aircraft deployed at the two airports in Hanoi and Haiphong.

Therefore, despite the extremely fierce and dense anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese coastal defense airport, the Kunming Air Force rushed into the Japanese anti-aircraft fire without hesitation, fiercely bombing and strafing the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.

The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns at the Japanese coastal defense airport were constantly destroyed by the explosions of aerial bombs and machine guns.

The First Army's planes were also hit, damaged, and crashed from time to time.

After the Kunming Air Force carried out bombing and strafing regardless of casualties, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns at the Japanese coastal defense airport were all destroyed.

Without the protection of fighter planes and anti-aircraft artillery units, the Japanese Haiphong Airport was deprived of the protection of the Kunming Air Force, which began to bombard the runway, apron, warehouses, control tower, defense forces and other targets of the Haiphong Airport.

Deputy Captain Hu asked the pilots to empty all the bombers' bombs and fighters' machine gun shells before returning.

Some pilots asked worriedly:

"If we encounter Japanese fighter planes, won't we be unable to fight back?"

Deputy Captain Hu responded easily:

"That's only if you can catch up with us!"

After this round of air raids by the Kunming Air Force, the Japanese coastal defense airport could not be used in the short term.

The Japanese fighter and bomber units that had just been deployed in Southeast Asia were also severely damaged.

The invasion of Malipo County, Yunnan by Japanese aircraft and the Imperial Guards Independent Mixed Brigade brought a lot of losses to the local people, but it also brought unexpected benefits to the First Army's Gui-Yunnan Front.

The people in the nearby villages and towns saw and heard about the First Army's heroic killing of the enemy and asked to join the army.

Some aspiring young people who suffered from Japanese air raids even asked to join the Air Force and fly planes to fight against Japanese planes.

Unfortunately, due to their lack of cultural level, none of the 86 young people who applied to join the Air Force passed the initial interview.

However, Deputy Captain Hu introduced them to the Army, helping them realize their dream of defending their country.

In this battle, 11 pilots of the Kunming Air Force died in the sky, and 16 fighter jets and bombers were damaged to varying degrees.

Next, the road to fight against the Japanese air force is still very difficult. Deputy Captain Hu reported to Captain Yin who was fighting in southern Guangdong for approval and decided to publicize the victory of this air battle and air raid in order to recruit more pilots.

Of course, the recruitment target is mainly placed on major universities in Kunming. After all, pilots must have certain knowledge.

With the special publicity of Kunming news media, the Kunming Air Force's air battle in Malipo County and the air strikes on the Japanese Hanoi Airport and Haiphong Airport caused a sensation among the people of Yunnan.

Chairman Long also made a special trip to congratulate Jackal, but Jackal always felt that there was sadness in his happy eyes.
