Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 615 The First Battle (9)

The US F-86 fighters also reacted very quickly, immediately dispersing their formation and trying to engage in a dogfight with the MiG-15. For a moment, fighter planes shuttled in the sky, engines roared, and fire from the guns kept flashing.

A young pilot, Li Jianming, was flying a J-1 fighter-bomber, and he was closely following an F-84 fighter-bomber. He calmly adjusted the angle of the fighter plane and kept approaching the target. When the distance was close enough, he decisively pressed the cannon firing button, and the cannon on the J-1 spewed out flames, and dense shells rained down on the F-84.

The F-84's fuselage was hit, thick smoke began to billow, and it began to lose control and fall shakily.

However, before Li Jianming could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly found himself being targeted by two F-86 fighters. The two F-86s were like vicious wolves, biting Li's J-1 tightly.

Li Jianming remained fearless in the face of danger and quickly performed a series of difficult maneuvers, sometimes diving rapidly and sometimes pulling up suddenly, trying to escape the pursuit of the enemy plane.

The two F86s opened fire almost at the same time, and the barrage of bullets covered Li Jianming's J-1, and his wing was hit!

This F86 fighter, code-named Sabre, is also the latest jet fighter of the US Air Force. Its performance is similar to that of the J-1 and has its own strengths!

Li Jianming was dizzy from the sudden blow, but he quickly regained consciousness and scanned the instrument panel. He saw various indicator lights flashing continuously, indicating that the aircraft's control system had been severely damaged, and the aircraft lost balance and began to shake violently and fall uncontrollably.

Li Jianming recalled the instructor's words.

"The life of the pilot is far more important than the plane!" He knew that the situation was critical and there was no time to attempt an emergency landing. He quickly pulled the safety pin of the ejection seat and shouted loudly to send a final signal to his comrades. Then, he held the joystick tightly and tried to stabilize the fuselage to get the best time for ejection.

Following the order, he pulled the ejection seat ring. With a loud bang, the powerful impact blew open the canopy, and Li Jianming was ejected from the plane along with the seat. At the moment of ejection, the air flow cut across his face like a knife, and his body rose rapidly, breaking away from the shaky J-1.

In the air, Li Jianming quickly pulled the rope of the parachute, and the parachute opened with a "bang". The huge umbrella quickly unfolded in the wind, slowing down his falling speed. He adjusted the direction of the parachute and slowly descended towards the ground.

The fierce air battle lasted for thirty minutes.

In terms of the casualty ratio between the two sides, the Chinese Air Force is slightly ahead with 33 to 41. Many of these American pilots are veterans, and some were even pilots during World War II, with rich experience in air combat. However, the Chinese Air Force's J-1 is fast and maneuverable, which makes up for the lack of experience!

Seeing the number of their own planes decreasing, the US military planes finally became exhausted and began to evacuate!

In less than an hour,

The second wave of air force aircraft flew over the Cheongcheon River in Sinanju again, with a total of 36 ME262 and 25 B24 bombers!

When the bomber locked onto the ground target and dropped a string of bombs from the cabin, the US troops on the ground, which had already suffered heavy casualties, finally collapsed!

Accompanied by violent explosions, columns of smoke rose up, and the US troops on the ground suffered heavy losses again!

By noon, seeing that rescue was hopeless and the troops were unable to cross the river and escape south, the remaining 24-plus soldiers of the US th Division took the initiative to raise the white flag!

The 39th and 40th Armies, which were fiercely pursuing the UN forces on the north bank, split into several groups and pursued the UN forces relentlessly along almost every fork in the road.

Chen Chao's Regiment of the 39th Army, which had made outstanding achievements in the Battle of Yunshan, penetrated towards Bochuan and annihilated many enemy units along the way!

On the 101 high ground west of Bochuan, the Australian Battalion of the 27th Brigade of the British Army was responsible for sniping the pursuit of the Volunteer Army and covering the retreat of the US and British troops towards Sinanju and Kaesong!

The battalion commander, Major Walsh, was a very proud and conceited guy. He led the Australian battalion to be invincible on the Korean battlefield and never lost once. Not long ago, he even set a crazy record of 0:239 in hand-to-hand combat with the People's Army!

This unit was very famous and had always been used as a spearhead by the United Nations forces. However, not long after they crossed the Cheongcheon River, they were notified of the order to retreat!

The Chinese are coming! Walsh's troops changed from the vanguard to the rearguard, which made him very puzzled and depressed. Why did they suddenly retreat? The Chinese were so powerful, and he had not fought against the Chinese army yet!

"They are coming!" Walsh was excited by the scout's report.

"Cheer up and show the Chinese how strong we are!"

On the road,

A long line of chariots appeared,

Leading the way were two Type 2 assault guns.

Following behind were 5 armored vehicles and more than twenty trucks!

"Prepare for battle!" Walsh whispered!

Several Australian soldiers carried two M20 rocket launchers and ambushed on both sides of the road. This rocket launcher is a single-soldier anti-tank weapon that the US military has just developed. Its power and range are much stronger than ordinary bazookas, and it can penetrate 200 mm thick steel plates!

The StuG III was getting closer.

Australian soldier Tom pulled the trigger of the Super Bazooka.

A rocket with a long tail flame drew a sharp arc in the air and hit the side of the No. 3 assault gun accurately. In an instant, a violent explosion sounded and flames shot up into the sky!

The body of the Type 3 assault gun trembled violently, and a big hole was torn in the part that was hit, and hot flames and thick smoke spewed out from the damaged area.

Immediately afterwards, the engine of the assault gun let out a painful roar, the tracks stopped turning, and with a bang, the entire body of the vehicle exploded violently!

The convoy stopped and the volunteer soldiers began to jump out of the cars, looking for terrain where they could hide!

Another rocket flew out and directly hit the third armored vehicle!

On an armored vehicle behind, mortar gunner Song Lie took a quick look and locked onto the positions of several Australian soldiers.

He hurriedly adjusted the muzzle and put a mortar shell into the barrel!

With a loud bang, several Australian soldiers fell down!

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the volunteers used large-caliber machine guns to fiercely fire in all directions for reconnaissance.

The armored reconnaissance company commander Fang Yingjie immediately ordered the vanguard squad to go out and search for enemy forces in the area!

An armored vehicle drove forward, followed by ten volunteer soldiers! In a formation of three by three, they searched along the road!

Fang Yingjie held the telescope and looked carefully at the surrounding mountains!
