The war began to come to an end.
In the sky, there are at least half fewer fighters still flying than at the beginning.
In the suburbs not far from Tonggu, there are many wrecks scattered with black smoke, and in some places, there are still sporadic fires.
It was not only the Chinese air force that suffered heavy losses, but also the losses of the Japanese army in terms of numbers.
Today, in the sky, the number of Chinese and Japanese fighters is not much apart, and the Japanese army is still slightly more.
"It's time for the captain to go back, don't go back, there's not enough fuel" "Yalu is really cheap, these people will go back to refuel first" "Hi" Most of the Japanese fighters were preparing to return home, because if they stayed in the sky for a long time, it would be difficult to go back if they didn't go back.
They were not like the fighters of the Independent Division or the volunteers under Chennault, they were very close to Tonggu.
Chennault looked at the Japanese fighters, he already had the intention of leaving, and he didn't let people pursue too much, after all, if the pursuit continued, if the devils didn't care about the casualties, then the casualties on both sides would increase.
One air battle, fought like this, is enough.
He also has more than 30 fighters under him.
Under Zhu Ziming, there are only more than 30 fighters left Such losses are almost irreversible But their record is that they have more than 400 fighters before and after, and less than 100 have returned home Lose both "Boys, we won, and the rest will be handed over to the warriors on the ground," Chennault also gave the order to return, and he had already shed tears several times today.
His plane was also hit, and in several places, even the iron sheet was recessed.
Seeing the pilots under his hands dying one by one, he naturally didn't feel good.
But fortunately, they didn't lose.
On the Tonggu position, the devil's attack became more and more fierce, and in several places, the devil almost attacked the position, and even saw a white-knives battle.
However, thanks to timely reinforcements, the position returned to the hands of the expeditionary force.
The soil, which had been dry, became moist and covered with blood.
The mobile support troops in Dai Anlan's hands are also becoming fewer and fewer, and more than once, some troops have been sent to defend their positions.
"Master, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for too long."
"Go and ask Commander Gan to come."
More than twenty minutes later, Gan Lichu appeared in front of Dai Anlan.
"Commander Gan, how is your position over there" Dai Anlan asked, after the Sixth Army came, the Fifth Army defended two positions, and the Sixth Army also defended two sides.
Gan Lichu shook her head, "It's not good, the devil's attack is too fierce, and the position has been broken through several times, if it wasn't for the timely release of reinforcements, I'm afraid this son devil has already come in." ” After hearing this, Dai Anlan's mind sank, but he heard Gan Lichu's first words, "This is still the devil's chariot that has not rushed up, in my estimation, at most tomorrow, I'm afraid, it will be broken." ” The atmosphere in the command room was very heavy, and Dai Anlan didn't expect the situation to be the same on the side of the Sixth Army, "In today's air battle, less than 200 fighters on our side fought with more than 400 fighters of the devils, and in the end, less than 100 fighters returned home, and we also lost more than half." ” Gan Lichu nodded, he also watched this.
Dai Anlan exhaled, "I will upload today's battle report in a while, and ask the command to judge, whether to abandon Tonggu or ask the 66th Army to support." ” Gan Lichu also sighed, their two armies have borne the strength of two divisions, indeed, there is a lot of pressure.
The combat effectiveness of the national army and the devils is naturally not on the same level.
By a small river in the northeast of Tonggu, a few people walked slowly.
The person at the head is Zhu Ziming.
After landing, Zhu Ziming watched the whole process of the air battle on the ground.
To tell the truth, the fight is very good, not bad at all, but the difference is that there are too many fighters of the devils, almost twice as many as theirs, his second flight regiment, and now there is probably only one squadron left, except for a few people who died at the beginning, and later there were a lot fewer who died with the devils, so Zhu Ziming has been trying to find those pilots who fell in his direction.
Luckily, I was lucky enough to find a few.
"Tuanza, this time, what should we do?"
Zhu Ziming thought for a while, "The devil's attack is very fierce, to be honest, I don't know if the expeditionary force can hold on, let's not go to Tonggu first, just stay here, and see the situation for the time being." ” "It's fine."
A few people nodded, indeed, the battle on the ground was not something that their pilots could participate in.
The sky gradually darkened, and at the end of the day, both the expeditionary force and the devils had casualties.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's getting dark" "Yo Xi, let the warriors come back to eat and rest, and prepare for the night's action" "Hi" The Japanese lieutenant general smiled, during the day today, several fierce attacks were for the expeditionary force to see, to prevent them from discovering the abnormalities in the city, however, now that it is dark, he believes that Aung San is ready, so, at this time, he only needs to let the soldiers rest well, and wait until the evening to take Tonggu in one fell swoop, as for the defenders in the ancient city, I am afraid, there will be huge losses.
And the 56th Division, Watanabe Masao received a telegram from the 55th Division, and touched his chin, "It's really terrible, I am actually thinking about such an idea, but this Burmese named Aung San seems to have made a lot of contributions."
"Hi" "This is even God is on our side this time, our Imperial Army of Japan is the righteous side Hahaha Britain and the United States have gained too many benefits and done too many evil things in this land" Watanabe Masao laughed, colonization is never peaceful, but with blood and tears "His Excellency the commander of the division said on the telegram that the night is now marked by the sound of gunfire, is it not for the warriors to rest first" "Well, let the warriors come back at night, let the chariot wing open the way" "Hi" As night fell, the gunfire gradually subsided, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were tired after a whole day of guard.
Dai Anlan also knew this, so he still prepared hot meals and soup for the soldiers as much as possible.
Fighting a war is really a very energy-consuming thing, and there are too many things to pay attention to on the battlefield.
Dai Anlan didn't do anything special, took a bowl with food and soup, and sat aside to eat with everyone.
Most of them have no complaints about Dai Anlan, do you fight, you are paid as a soldier, there are no immortals, until now, there are also some Burmese people who have been taken care of by the expeditionary force to clean up the battlefield, including sorting out the corpses on the battlefield.
Occasionally, there are some sobbing sounds.
Dai Anlan knew that it was the soldiers who saw their dead comrades With a deep sigh, Dai Anlan looked at the sky, not knowing when such a day would end.
And in the dark, "General, we are ready":
