Chapter 487: Act Ahead


"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up" At this time, the entire Baoding Railway Station was busy.

The Japanese roundabout detachment made breakthrough progress at this time.

However, the battlefield has always been a whole.

If the main force of the Japanese army in the front cannot effectively contain the main force of Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu Group Army, With the strength of the roundabout detachment and a little chance to breathe, whether it was Yang Hucheng or Zhao Tieshu, they would be able to deal with the Japanese army when they turned back.

Feeling that the opportunity was coming, and at the same time wanting to avenge his shame, Kozuki Kiyoshi commanded the main force of the First Army to fully press against the enemy on the opposite side.

While the Japanese army was attacking crazily, hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting in a melee.

While maintaining a high-intensity attack, the daily consumption of food and ammunition was astronomical.

When Yang Hucheng withdrew from Baoding, he demolished a section of railway track and bombed the train station into ruins.

However, the Japanese troops who occupied Baoding quickly drove the people in the occupied area to clean up the mess.

During the war, Stimulated, the construction team The railway was quickly re-opened, but it will take time to repair the railway after all.

When Japan's railways were not smooth in the past, a large amount of materials transported from the north accumulated in Baoding.

The empty area in front of the cleared railway station was full of grain.

Piling up like a mountain.

In this area, the Japanese army gathered a large number of anti-aircraft guns to avoid being overwhelmed by enemy bombers.

After all, the Northwest Army's air force is also very powerful.

Once the railway was connected, the trains from the north quickly pulled these supplies south, delivering the supplies to the combat troops as quickly as possible.

The Japanese soldiers at the front were fighting with their lives, but the responsibilities of the transportation team at the rear were no less than those at the front.

With a large number of troops sent to the front line, the Japanese army's strength in the rear was relatively insufficient.

Therefore, the Japanese army had to drive a large number of people in the occupied areas to carry food and daily necessities.

But for arms.

In order to prevent enemy agents from sneaking in and causing damage.

The Japanese army basically organized its own expatriates and soldiers to do it themselves.

The officer in charge of supervising the work loudly urged to load medicine, food, and ammunition onto the train in batches.

The entire transfer station was filled with people and horses neighing.

Woo But soon, the air raid that the Japanese army had been worried about came.

Although it was sudden, it was also expected.

There is absolutely no way that the Northwest Army can just sit back and watch the main combat force in Shijiazhuang be surrounded and annihilated.

In order to preserve this battle-hardened main force, the Northwest Army will definitely use all its strength.

As the largest forward military base supporting the Shijiazhuang battle, Baoding is definitely the focus of the opponent's air force.

Hit the target.

Due to the Northwest Air Force's previous successive bombings of Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and Datong, more than 60 Japanese aircraft and hundreds of pilots were directly destroyed.

There were hundreds of ground crews, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured.

It once made the Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan panic.

After all, nearly a hundred bombers were dispatched continuously.

If it is an army with a weak will, it will collapse directly.

After several losses, the Northwest Air Force still retains its strength.

This is a well-known thing among the Japanese army.

This is still the case in Shanxi, not to mention that in Shijiazhuang, there are a large number of elites from the northwest gathered.

"Yoshi, we finally captured the Northwestern Air Force's bomber formation.

We ordered the Kusaki Squadron and the Haraji Squadron to take off immediately and be sure to shoot down all the 19 bombers that appeared."

As the commander of the North China Provisional Aviation Corps, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi said this This time I came to personally attend to the air defense mission over Baoding.

Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi had already anticipated the bombing by the Northwest Air Force, but some accidents always happened as expected.

In other words, all Japanese pilots, including Nagatokugawa Yoshitoshi, could not imagine that this bomber formation of only 19 aircraft would surprise them in many aspects.

Yes, these 19 bombers are all the Kunpeng four-engine heavy bombers that Northwest has already prepared and managed to accumulate.

These bombers had quietly stationed at several airports in Shaanxi the night before, and then took off directly from Shaanxi and crossed Shanxi.

Fly directly over Baoding and carry out this bombing.

Originally, Jiang Li was planning to let Kunpeng's heavy bombardment hide for a while, and wait until the scale became larger before giving the Japanese a powerful blow.

However, many plans must be adjusted to suit the timing during the battle.

It is very naive to expect that the plans will be implemented unchanged.

Just as the top Japanese military officials expected, in order to allow the Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu armies to retreat smoothly, this time the Northwest Army used another powerful long-range strategic bombing.

Although the size of this bomber formation was far from what Jiang Li expected.

But as a time traveler, Jiang Li's vision naturally exceeded the Asian standards of this era.

But in fact, in the entire Far East, only the northwest has such a heavy bombardment cluster.

Except that the industrial scale has not increased, at least the advanced nature of the heavy bombardment cluster in the northwest has reached the forefront of the world like the United Kingdom and the United States.

It takes a thousand days to raise troops, but it only takes a moment.

Northwest's layout for heavy bombardment has already lasted a thousand days.

The effects of years of hard work are fully revealed at this moment.

"Hey, little guys, let's go."

Kunpeng's huge body sailed arrogantly in the air.

The large-caliber machine gun equipped on it sprayed bullets like raindrops at the Japanese fighter jets that were speeding towards them.

At this time, the Japanese fighter jets The imitation Vickers aircraft machine gun equipped with basic equipment is only of caliber 77, and it is far ahead in terms of range alone.

Chen Shuhua shook the machine gun and laughed wantonly.

"Captain, I haven't had enough fun yet."

Before Chen Shuhua and another machine gunner had time to show off their skills, Captain Liang Musheng controlled the plane to climb slowly before the Japanese troops entered a dangerous distance.

Originally, the bomber formation maintained a flying altitude of nearly 8,000 meters, which was close to the limit of Japanese fighter jets.

A round of harassing machine gun fire caused no casualties to the Japanese pilots, but it also kept them busy for a while.

With this effort, Kunpeng's huge body climbed again, heading to a higher altitude.

Eight thousand one, eight thousand two, eight thousand five hundred meters, until it reached more than nine thousand seven hundred meters.

Everything on the ground has been blurred into one piece, and it is impossible to judge the targets on the ground with just a pair of naked eyes.

The production speed of bombsights in the northwest is extremely slow, and a considerable part of them even relies on manual labor.

This is also an important reason restricting the expansion of Kunpeng's production scale.

In the past six months, Lanzhou Optics has only produced twenty-seven bomb sights.

However, during the production process, the yield rate is constantly improving, and the proficiency of the workers has also been greatly improved.

New workers are also undergoing intense training, and everything seems to be developing for the better
