Devil's Army

The Japanese army temporarily stopped the attack, and the battalion commander immediately arranged for the soldiers to consolidate their positions and prepare for the next attack by the Japanese army.

More than an hour later, the sound of airplanes was heard from the direction of Peking.

The commander of the first battalion hurriedly asked the soldiers to pay attention to air defense, and the commander of the third regiment immediately called Wu Lang and requested air force support.

This time, the Japanese army dispatched a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron.

Japanese bombers flew over the Huangyaguan Great Wall position and immediately began dropping bombs.

Soon, continuous explosions were heard at the Huangyaguan Great Wall position, and the entire position was suddenly shrouded in mud, dust and smoke.

From time to time, soldiers from the third company were blown out of their fortifications by the shock waves of the Japanese aerial bombs.

In order to intensify the offensive, the captain of the Sixth Battalion incorporated the remaining soldiers of the First Infantry Squadron into the Second Infantry Squadron, and with the cooperation of the air force, they moved closer to the Huangyaguan Great Wall position.

The second squadron leader of the Japanese army led his soldiers to ambush more than 300 meters in front of the Huangyaguan Great Wall position, ready to rush to the Huangyaguan Great Wall pass in one go when their planes stopped bombing.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The Japanese bombers were still bombing the Huangyaguan Great Wall positions. Eight Huaxia 1 and 2 fighter planes from the First Army's Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, led by Instructor Yin, rushed over from Xiaoguanzhuang.

The Japanese bombers immediately withdrew when they saw the sharp fighters of the Devil's Army, and the Japanese fighters had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight back.

Lieutenant General Tokugawa, commander of the Japanese North China Front Air Force, developed a strategy specifically for the devil's pointed aircraft, which was to use three aircraft to attack the devil's pointed aircraft head-on. Using the advantage of numbers, they defeated the army's pointed aircraft. And they also had successful cases in this regard.

After their first Hua Xia II fighter was shot down by the Japanese, Instructor Yin of the First Army immediately held a meeting to study a new combat plan.

At the meeting, Instructor Yin formulated a plan that when faced with an encirclement and annihilation by a superior number of Japanese fighter planes, the plan would be to use the Hua Xia II fighter planes to surpass the Japanese planes' climbing ability and flying speed, climb quickly and circle behind the Japanese planes, waiting for an opportunity to shoot them down.

This time, the Japanese fighters only dispatched 12, only four more than the Huaxia II fighters, and did not have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. However, the Japanese pilots still rigidly followed the commander's established plan to attack the Huaxia II fighters of the First Army.

Three Japanese Type 95 fighter planes rushed towards Instructor Yin's Hua Xia I fighter plane.

Instructor Yin rushed over at high speed, and when he was still about 800 meters away from the Japanese fighter, he suddenly raised the nose of the plane, accelerated and roared to the back of the Japanese fighter. Then he turned around at a small angle and bit the main engine of the Japanese fighter.

Instructor Yin fired continuously, directly hitting the main engine of the Japanese army and causing it to explode in mid-air. Then he turned right and bit another Japanese wingman that was fleeing to the right.

The Japanese wingman on the right tried to speed up and get rid of Instructor Yin's pursuit. But it was in vain. Instructor Yin quickly caught up with him and slowed down, firing in one go. He directly hit the Japanese wingman on the right, causing black smoke to come out of its tail and crashing to the ground.

Three Japanese fighter planes also attacked Ren Shiqiong's Hua Xia II fighter plane from three directions in the front.

Ren Shiqiong responded calmly. He had already seen a Huaxia II fighter plane flying over to support him.

Ren Shiqiong Hua Xia II's three 30mm machine guns were used against the Japanese main engine's two 7.7mm machine guns.

The Japanese mainframe was soon hit by Ren Shiqiong's Huaxia II and was helpless. The two wingmen on both sides of the Japanese mainframe soon joined the attack on Ren Shiqiong's Huaxia II.

As the Japanese main aircraft was shot down by Ren Shiqiong, the Japanese wingman on the left was also shot down by another Hua Xia II fighter plane of the First Army that flew over quickly.

In just one encounter, half of the planes of a Japanese fighter squadron were shot down or exploded.

The other six Type 95 fighter planes of the Japanese army quickly flew away.

Instructor Yin led three Huaxia II fighters to patrol over the Huangyaguan Great Wall position, while the other four Huaxia II fighters went to chase the fleeing Japanese fighters.

The sky over the Huangyaguan Great Wall position was protected by the First Army's fighter planes, and the Japanese planes did not dare to come over to bomb. The Third Regiment Commander ordered the two heavy artillery positions to bomb the Japanese together.

Under the fierce bombardment of the First Army's five 150mm howitzers and two small mountain guns, one and a half squadrons of the attacking Japanese army were instantly wiped out.

The few surviving Japanese troops also retreated quickly.

The First Army's five 150mm howitzers began to extend their firing and fiercely bombarded the Japanese reinforcements.

The captain of the Japanese Sixth Battalion had no choice but to continue retreating with the remaining soldiers of the Sixth Battalion.

At this time, the four Huaxia II fighter planes of the First Army that were chasing the fleeing Japanese fighter planes also returned victoriously.

While chasing the Japanese fighter planes, they shot down two more Japanese Type 95 fighter planes.

The air battle over the Huangyaguan Great Wall position returned with a victory of 0 to 8.

This air battle made Terauchi Shouichi obedient, and once again made Lieutenant General Tokugawa, commander of the Provisional Air Corps of North China, realize the power of the First Army's pointed aircraft. In subsequent air battles, he did not gather a large number of aircraft and did not dare to fight against the First Army's air force.
