Anton Maobei didn't want to go out and be a hero at this time. Bullets have no eyes and can't tell whether you are an ordinary soldier or a chief of staff. If you are hit, it will not be easy to survive under such conditions.

In the Japanese division-level military structure, there are anti-aircraft weapons, equipped with 20mm anti-aircraft guns. However, after entering Longguo, they also knew that the Longguo Air Force was not very good, so the air defense forces were not taken seriously. Take their two main divisions as an example, there are less than six anti-aircraft guns in total.

When the plane flew over, these six anti-aircraft guns were at the front of the team. It took about an hour to push them to the place where the plane was strafing by manpower.

Many Japanese soldiers raised their rifles and fired at the planes in the sky. You can imagine what the result would be.

As for Japan's light machine guns, let alone the ones that jammed bullets many times when attacking the army, not to mention attacking the sky. I don't know what the Japanese weapons experts were thinking when they actually developed a machine gun like the Type 99 light machine gun.

The four planes had used up all their machine gun bullets, and then they flew away contentedly. On the other hand, the casualties caused by the bullets from the planes on the Japanese side were not great, only about a hundred people at most. However, the Japanese losses were not small. In order to avoid the strafing of the planes, many people ran to both sides desperately, and more people were trampled to death than were shot.

In addition, when they were strafing just now, they focused on the cars in the team. Several trucks were hit on the fuel tanks and exploded directly. Dozens of people were burned in the surrounding area. Except for those who were burned to charcoal, the rest had to be rescued, which delayed the operation.

"Commander, we must speed up. Based on our previous experience fighting them, since our whereabouts have been exposed, their planes will soon arrive, and they will continue to visit until night."

After all, Anton Maobei has been fighting here for a long time, and he is more or less familiar with some of the combat methods of the 72nd Division.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry about that. I've only given orders to the First Air Division. Their planes will take turns providing air cover for us. Soon, there will be Imperial planes overhead. But you're right, we must speed up now."

Masao Tanimoto looked around and saw that there were only four planes, but the marching column was in this state. He didn't know what it would look like when more planes arrived.

After this guy finished speaking, he called the commander of the 15th Division and asked them to separate from the 1st Division. If everyone was still mixed together and the 72nd Division's air force attacked, no one would be able to escape.

Chengde Airport

"Hurry up, hurry up, come on."

The ground crew quickly directed the refueling trucks. More than 40 aircraft were ready at the airport, including 15 fighters and nearly 30 bombers. Their mission was to attack the advancing First Division.

We hadn't found them before, so we couldn't launch an attack on them. Now that we've found them, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to drop bombs on the First Division around the clock, with an attack frequency of one batch every half hour.

"We're moving faster, but we can't lose any safety precautions. Now we can attack others, and they can attack us. Keep those bombs and fuel tankers as far apart as possible. If they cause a chain reaction, none of us will survive."

According to Li Shaoyi's order, Li Qiankun is no longer able to take off to fight. Although this guy's air combat skills are very good, no matter how great the results are, if something happens to the commander of his aviation brigade, it will be a swan song for the 72nd Division, and they cannot bear such a huge loss.

So behind Li Qiankun, there are always two guards. The two men have no expression on their faces, but if Li Qiankun encounters any safety problems, the two men will sacrifice their lives to ensure his safety. The aviation brigade is full of Li Qiankun's people. Li Shaoyi is afraid that these people can't persuade him, so he simply exchanges two instructors from the system. No matter what level you are, these people will only execute Li Shaoyi's orders.

As the commander waved the small flag in his hand, forty planes began to take off rapidly. Another forty planes were also ready nearby, with one batch every half an hour to carry out continuous attacks on the Japanese army. According to Li Qiankun's calculations, nearly one hundred and sixty planes could be assembled today.

Except for the fighter pilots who are relatively outstanding, most of the other bomber and transport pilots have not yet been trained, but as long as they can intercept the Japanese fighter planes, they can carry out the bombing calmly.

The Japanese First Air Division did not have many excellent aircraft. Li Qiankun had already done an investigation and found that most of them were biplanes. Compared with ours, this type of aircraft was indeed far inferior.

For Japanese aviation to become truly powerful, it would have to wait until the Zero aircraft came out. Otherwise, with their current aircraft, the 72nd Division's aviation force could crush them.

"What are those people doing? They are useless in combat. Get everyone out of the airport."

When Li Qiankun was about to get on the bus, he saw some people wearing Kuomintang uniforms, which were very different from them. After all, they were all wearing German uniforms.

"Reporting to the Director, they are all from the Jinling Central Air Force."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Qiankun frowned. This was an agreement between Li Shaoyi and the Jinling Central Air Force. They were allowed to send some pilots here to learn. But Li Qiankun also came from there, and it seemed that he didn't know these people.

"Guard platoon assemble."

Li Qiankun's sudden shout stunned everyone around him. Could there be something wrong with these people? The two guards sent by Li Shaoyi immediately raised their submachine guns and protected Li Qiankun on the left and right.

The other guards then remembered and took out their pistols. Those people wearing Kuomintang uniforms in the distance also saw the changes here.

The situation then became rather chaotic. These people were indeed not pilots of the Central Air Force, but were all dog spies sent by Japan. These guys took out their pistols and started shooting at everyone around them.

Fortunately, Li Qiankun's guards had gathered long ago, and there was not much room for those Japanese spies to hide. The two guards were both former instructors, and they fired their submachine guns in bursts, almost killing one person with a few bullets...
