Devil's Army

The battle lasted until dark. Facing the high-speed, flexible and powerful First Army Air Force, the Japanese Air Force was unable to gain any advantage.

All the Japanese fighter planes that took off from Hefei Sanli Street Airport were shot down by the fighter planes of the First Army.

After destroying the anti-aircraft artillery units outside Sanlijie Airport, the First Army Air Force launched bombing and strafing on Sanlijie Airport.

All the Japanese fighter planes and bombers that did not have time to take off at Sanli Street Airport were destroyed on the apron.

The runway, warehouses, control tower and other facilities of Sanlijie Airport were destroyed by the First Army's air force.

After completing the mission of destroying Hefei Sanlijie Airport, the Shandong Air Force and the Henan Air Force stepped on the throttle and sped away.

The Japanese air force, which had pursued the enemy in vain, had to return one after another.

After that, the Japanese air force became much more obedient and did not bomb the First Army in Huaibei easily.

However, the First Army's air force was planning a new attack mission, preparing to destroy other Japanese airports in Anhui.

Because if the battle of crossing the river is launched, the Japanese air force will be a threat that cannot be ignored.

Three days later, the Shandong and Henan air forces launched a joint air raid on Guangde Airport, the largest Japanese airport in Anhui Province, but were met with stubborn resistance from Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units.

Subsequently, the Japanese Anqing Airport and Wuhu Airport quickly took off to provide support.

In order to completely defeat the devil's air force, the Japanese army also mobilized the air force from Hubei to Anhui to participate in the war.

Captain He, who was in charge of this operation, changed his strategy in time and changed the strategy from destroying the Japanese Guangde Airport to encircling and annihilating a Japanese air force.

The Wuhu Air Force, which came to reinforce the Japanese army, became the first target of the First Army Air Force.

After the Shandong Air Force stepped on the throttle to break away from the Guangde Air Force, it outflanked the Japanese Wuhu Air Force from the left wing.

After breaking away from the Guangde Air Force, the Henan Air Force feinted an attack on the Anqing Air Force.

After engaging in battle with the Anqing Air Force, it quickly increased the throttle and escaped in the opposite direction.

The Anqing Air Force quickly increased the throttle and pursued.

But soon there was no trace of the Henan Air Force.

While the Japanese Anqing Air Force was still chasing and searching for the Henan Air Force, the Henan Air Force had already made a large turn and outflanked the Japanese Wuhu Air Force from the right wing.

When the Japanese Wuhu Air Force turned its planes around and engaged the Shandong Air Force, the Henan Air Force chased after them and fired fiercely at them.

The Japanese Wuhu Air Force had to divide its forces to block the enemy while calling for reinforcements.

When the Japanese Anqing Air Force and Guangde Air Force rushed to reinforce, the Japanese Wuhu Air Force had suffered more than half of its casualties.

Subsequently, the Japanese air force in Hubei also rushed to provide reinforcements.

The First Army's air force did not engage in a fight with the Japanese air force, but instead stepped up its speed and withdrew to Shandong and Henan.

The Japanese air force did not dare to pursue into Shandong and Henan for fear of being ambushed, so they had to direct their anger towards the fortifications and strongholds of the devil troops north of the Huai River.

On the north bank of the Huai River, the ferries collected by the First Army had all been destroyed by the Japanese army in the last air raid.

When the various units of the First Army discovered Japanese fighter planes, they immediately sought cover to hide.

Subsequently, the Japanese Air Force launched a fierce bombing on the positions, fortifications, strongholds and other military targets of the Devil Forces in Bengbu City, Huaibei City and Suxian County.

Because the various units of the First Army were prepared, although the military targets were attacked by Japanese air forces, the casualties were not great.

The Shandong and Henan Air Forces intended to destroy the Japanese Guangde Airport, but were thwarted by the stubborn resistance of the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery.
