Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!
Chapter 222 Wusheng Pass 1
Muto Yoshio never imagined that the troops of the 78th Army would actually launch an attack under what they considered to be extremely unfavorable conditions.
As the chief of staff, he widened his eyes and watched in disbelief what was happening before his eyes.
What shocked him even more was that this attack was not an ordinary one, but a siege against a strong fortress with heavy defenses. This decision was simply a crazy move!
There were very few civilians left in the sturdy city of Wushengguan. Most of them had fled or been killed. Most of those who remained were puppet troops who had defected to Japan and families of traitors.
When dense swarms of bombers appeared above their heads in the sky, the Japanese initially thought it was just a large-scale air raid.
However, as time went on, they began to realize that something was not right.
The Japanese devils were already accustomed to such air raids. In recent months, the air force of the 78th Army has visited various places in Hubei Province almost every day, putting tremendous pressure on the Japanese army.
But this time, they found some unusual signs - the number of planes and the scale of the attack exceeded any previous air raid.
An ominous premonition surged in Yoshio Muto's heart, and she realized that this war might be more intense and cruel than she had imagined.
He couldn't help but think of the photos of the bombed cities in the empire, and the tragic scenes in the ruins were still vivid in his mind.
Now, will Wusheng Pass also become a ruin? And what should he do?
Recently, various parts of Hubei Province have frequently encountered air raids, especially Wushengguan, which is the focus of attention. This time, there are just more fighter planes. At the beginning, they still hoped that the Locust Army's Army Aviation Corps could repel these fighter planes from China.
However, their hopes were soon dashed. At first, some Locust Army fighter planes did take off to carry out interception missions, but in the end they all became dead birds burning in the air.
Faced with the Chinese fleet whose aircraft performance and pilot skills far surpassed those of the Japanese, the Japanese had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
Indeed, now even the quality of the Imperial pilots, which they have always been proud of, has been surpassed by the pilots of the Chinese Air Force.
A large number of outstanding Japanese pilots were transferred to the Pacific battlefield, and by the time they realized this, the Chinese Air Force had grown to a level that they could no longer shake.
"Attention all crews! We are about to arrive over the Japanese army! No Japanese anti-aircraft fire has been detected!" Wu Jianwei issued instructions to the entire fleet via radio.
The B29 he was flying in was at the front of the cluster. This time the weapons and equipment they carried were different from before. Most of them were napalm bombs and newly developed special bombs.
These ammunitions have great destructive power and lethality, and can cause huge damage to the Japanese army.
Wang Chun decided to use air force bombing to completely eliminate the Japanese troops stationed in Wushengguan.
He believed that he did not have enough strength to carry out endless offensive battles, and that every soldier of the 78th Army was very valuable and could not be easily sacrificed.
Therefore, he chose the efficient and relatively safe method of air strike.
When the bombers were about to reach the sky above Wusheng Pass, the Japanese ground anti-aircraft firepower finally opened fire.
However, due to their small numbers and scattered distribution, these anti-aircraft artillery fire could not pose a threat to large bombing groups.
"Woo woo!" Several P51 fighter planes flapped their wings and quickly rushed towards the Japanese air defense positions on the ground.
They attacked the Japanese air defense facilities at high speed in a diving posture, trying to destroy the enemy's defense forces and create more favorable conditions for subsequent bombing operations.
"Boom boom" more than a dozen rockets with tail flames directly crashed into the Japanese air defense positions, setting off balls of fire.
"Damn it! Cunning Chinese!" Morita struggled to get up from the ruins of the air-raid shelter, shook off the dirt and dust on his body, and then shook his head vigorously to make himself sober.
He looked at the wreckage of the badly damaged 20mm single-barreled anti-aircraft gun not far away with confused eyes, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Just now, they were targeted by a P51 Mustang fighter, and faced with such a threat, they had no choice but to aim their guns at the plane that was trying to attack them.
However, they knew in their hearts that this was just a ploy by the Chinese pilots to lure the enemy.
The real murderous intention was actually hidden in another direction - a rocket fired by another P51 Mustang fighter.
These rockets rained down on their positions, causing them tremendous pressure and losses.
Compared to traditional tactics such as dive-dropping bombs, rocket barrage attacks are obviously much easier.
Almost every P51 Mustang fighter today has two rocket pods mounted under its wings, giving them greater firepower output capabilities in the air.
After Morita stood up, he looked around and was shocked by what he saw.
At the air defense position where they were, more than a dozen air defense teams were almost wiped out by these rounds of rocket attacks.
The anti-aircraft fire, which was already extremely sparse, now became unable to support the situation and appeared even more weak and powerless.
Morita looked at everything in front of him, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. He suddenly realized that the sergeant who had been extremely demanding and even cruel to them was now a cold corpse.
This change made him feel an indescribable complex emotion welling up in his heart.
Without any restraint, he no longer had the determination to fight to the death, and he and several ordinary soldiers with the same idea slowly crawled away from the position in the dug air-raid trench.
The military camps, air defense positions, artillery positions, and Japanese supply camps at Wushengguan were all subjected to devastating carpet bombing.
There are almost no Chinese people here, so the commander of the aviation brigade naturally has nothing to worry about.
"Report to the commander! Our bomber group has basically cleared the Japanese anti-aircraft fire points. Please instruct the next action." A signalman reported on the communication channel.
Wu Jianwei sat in the cab, listening to his subordinates' reports on the battle situation, and secretly rejoiced that the operation went smoothly.
He turned to look at the co-pilot next to him and asked, "How is the Japanese force deployed? Is there any need to adjust the bombing area?"
The deputy quickly checked the information in his hand and replied: "According to the intelligence, the Japanese troops in this area are relatively scattered, but their baggage camp seems to have some supplies that have not been destroyed.
It is recommended that part of the bombing force be concentrated on the baggage camp to ensure the complete destruction of the enemy's logistical supply lines."
After thinking for a moment, Wu Jianwei nodded in agreement.
He gave orders to the pilots into the microphone: "Attention, all crews, adjust the bombing area, focus on attacking the Japanese baggage camp, and make sure the enemy's logistical supply lines are completely cut off."
"Send a squadron to bomb the northern wall according to the predetermined plan!"
After receiving the order, the B29 bomber group began to lower its flying altitude. They accurately aimed at the Japanese baggage camp and dropped bombs and incendiary bombs one after another.
Suddenly, the entire Japanese army's baggage camp was engulfed in flames, and countless supplies were destroyed or burned.
As time went on, the Japanese army's baggage camp had become a ruin, and other military camps, anti-aircraft positions and artillery positions had also suffered heavy damage, and the Japanese army's combat effectiveness had dropped significantly.
Wu Jianwei looked at the bombing results on the ground like volcanoes with satisfaction. He knew that this air raid was a heavy blow to the Japanese troops stationed in Wushengguan.
But he understood that the war was far from over and they still had to keep working hard to fight for the final victory.
