Chapter 334 Baga, what are you showing off?
Meng Fanle's words stunned the people present.
What does too slow mean?
Is this still slow?
Zhao He looked at Meng Fanle with a puzzled look on his face.
He wanted to see what brilliant ideas Meng Fanle could come up with.
This is Meng Fanle’s prestige. If someone else came, they would probably mock him directly.
No matter how unhappy Zhao He was, he could only endure it at this time.
"What? You seem very unconvinced. Do you think I'm bragging?" After all, Meng Fanle was the person who had stayed with Cun Yunsheng the longest, so he naturally understood the temperament and personality of these people.
"Stop it. Just say what you want to say. We are not the kind of people who won't listen to advice." Krupp said at the right time to ease the atmosphere.
"There is one thing you don't know. Before coming here, the commander had already sent people to instigate the Japanese 104th Division to rebel. According to intelligence, they are now heading to Zengcheng." As soon as Meng Fan opened his mouth, he completely shocked Krupp and Zhao He.
What the hell?
This is how you instigated a Japanese division to rebel?
They are fighting and dying on the front lines, but aren't there more people being instigated to rebel by their own generals?
Isn't this too outrageous?
Oh!
That’s not too outrageous!
After all, there is the 4th Division as a precedent, so these are nothing.
"Is this true?" Zhao He asked with an expression of disbelief.
"Of course it's true. Am I kidding you?" Meng Fanle glanced at them unhappily, but he could understand their thoughts.
After all, this is too horrifying.
"If that's the case, then the speed is indeed too slow." Zhao He reacted immediately.
"Go directly to the east of Yangcheng?"
"Yes, but before that, one thing we need to do is to ensure absolute air superiority. Before coming here, I thought we had already gained air superiority. Now it seems that we have not gained absolute air superiority, which is far from enough." Meng Fanle nodded first, and then pointed out the existing problems.
That is, the air supremacy over Guangzhou is not in their hands.
This made Meng, who was used to using various advantages to crush the Japanese army, feel very uncomfortable.
This is mainly because he was deeply influenced by Cun Yunsheng. In his eyes, one must make the most of one's own advantages.
That's firepower.
Why use human lives to solve something that can be solved with firepower?
These are totally unnecessary.
After staying with Cun Yunsheng for a long time, Meng Fan naturally developed this kind of thinking.
"Let the Air Force go. Find a way to gain absolute air superiority and cover the armored regiment's actions. Also, have the New 70rd Regiment and the th Regiment speed up their march. They must reach their destination within three days." Meng Fanle immediately issued a combat order.
"Yes." The signalman responded immediately.
"The armored regiment should be prepared. Once we enter Yangcheng, it may turn into street fighting. The Japanese army will never give up Yangcheng easily." Meng Fanle reminded again.
"clear."
In addition to being responsible for commanding the operations of the four regiments, Meng Fanle is also responsible for communicating with the Fourth War Zone.
In his eyes, having only one Fourth Army was far from enough.
So he had to urge the Fourth War Zone to dispatch more soldiers.
Just as Cun Yunsheng said, if someone else were to serve as the commander, besides being difficult to command these arrogant and powerful generals, the communication with the Fourth War Zone would also be difficult.
"Send a telegram to the Fourth War Zone and tell them we need more reinforcements." Meng Fanle was silent for a while and spoke again.
"Yes."
.........
The Japanese positions west of the Pearl River completely blocked the armored regiment's offensive since they dug a ditch in the middle of the trenches.
As long as the armored regiment is not stupid, they will definitely not go out.
So the brutal battle that was originally imagined is now much quieter.
Of course, the 59th Division did not stop its offensive.
Still trying to find a way to break through the Pearl River’s defense line.
Because in front of them is the new city of Yangcheng.
That's right.
Guangzhou is divided into the new city and the old city.
The new city is located in the Yuexiu area. As for the old city, it has developed relatively slowly because of the city walls.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the city walls and gates had been demolished.
It can be said that it is being built and demolished at the same time.
"It would be great if we had air support." Tang Lian looked at the Japanese positions with a helpless look on his face.
At this moment, the subordinate next to him pointed in the direction of Yangcheng, and more than ten Japanese fighter planes were rushing towards them.
"The Japanese actually sent out fighter planes?" Tang Lian was a little surprised.
"Maybe the Japanese want to counterattack because they see our offensive has weakened?" said the subordinate.
"I wonder when our fighter planes will arrive?"
This sentence made Tang Lian silent for a while, because he didn't know either.
Even Zhang Deneng didn't know when his own fighter plane would arrive.
In fact, above the clouds that they could not see, the First Battalion led by Gao Yuntian was receiving intelligence from the ground.
"Japanese fighter planes are coming, counterattack begins, counterattack begins!"
As he spoke, Gao Yuntian flew his plane towards the Japanese fighter plane group.
"Oh my God, they are ambushing here, damn it, let's hide quickly." The pilot of the Japanese Nakajima-style "Hayabusa" fighter flying in the front shouted in shock into the intercom.
The pilot behind also saw more than a dozen American fighter planes made of metal, and an idea flashed through his mind.
What's waiting for them here?
Originally, the Japanese pilots thought that since the enemy fighter planes had not appeared in the past two days, they must have gone back to rest.
It was just a good opportunity for them to come out and move around to see if they could take down the enemy's heavy artillery regiment.
As a result, as soon as he came out and hadn't flown far, he encountered an ambush by the enemy.
"Chinese fighter planes, be careful, be careful!" The Japanese pilots kept repeating about the Chinese fighter planes.
Obviously, the sudden appearance of the Chinese fighter planes did bring a great shock to these Japanese pilots.
Are you fishing here?
Many Japanese pilots cursed in their hearts.
"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight!" The Japanese pilot calmed down, quickly adjusted his mentality, entered combat status, and was ready to meet the enemy.
Constantly adjust the flight formation so that the entire fighter jet forms a formation to cover each other and fight against the enemy.
"The Japanese react very quickly." Gao Yuntian praised the Japanese for their reaction speed.
"Their planes are not very good." A pilot flying a P51 fighter said easily.
In the past, they would dispatch dozens of fighter planes, but now they only need to dispatch more than ten fighter planes to suppress the Japanese fighter planes.
The confidence brought by this crushing victory is so great that even speaking seems a little easy.
Only Gao Yuntian knew that the Japanese were not so easy to deal with. "Don't be careless. These Japanese have a lot of combat experience. Each of them has more than 500 hours of flying time. Be alert and don't let carelessness lead to accidents."
"Yes!"
The engine's distinctive sound is accompanied by a deafening sound from the airflow.
As the distance between the two sides got closer, Gao Yuntian suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Hey, the devils have reinforcements?"
"Be careful, the devils have reinforcements, be careful."
Another fifteen Japanese fighter planes rushed over and joined the air battle.
"What's the harm if there are twenty more planes? The Japs' fighter planes are only fit to follow us and eat our shit." A P51 fighter pilot sneered, pushed the speed of the fighter plane to the maximum, and flew directly towards the Japanese fighter planes.
At the same time, Gao Yuntian did not fall behind. He flew his fighter plane and directly avoided the strafing of Japanese fighter planes.
It continued to fly at high speed, leaving behind a series of curved silver-white lines in the sky.
"Damn, how come the Chinese fighter planes are so fast?" The Japanese pilot was stunned. He was flying his plane and obviously felt something was wrong.
The speed was terrifyingly fast. You should know that the maximum speed of his fighter plane reached nearly 500 kilometers per hour, but compared with the fighter plane in front of him, it was a world of difference.
Seeing one of his own fighter planes being hit by the enemy and falling to the ground with a trail of black smoke, he turned his own plane around and bit the enemy's tail tightly.
"Damn it, let the Nakajima Type 2 Zhongkui fighter take over from us. Our speed is simply too far behind the enemy." The commander of the Japanese flight formation immediately ordered the fighter planes that came to support them to cover them.
The speed gap between the two sides was too big, and he didn't know the performance of the opponent's fighter.
I just heard that the Chinese army's fighter planes are very advanced, and except for their new fighter planes, we can't catch up with the enemy at all.
Nakajima Type 1942 "Zhong Kui" Fighter: Also known as the Type single-cockpit fighter, it was put into service by the Japanese Army Air Force in . It was both a fighter and a high-altitude interceptor.
The fastest flight speed is 605 kilometers per hour and the maximum range is 1600 kilometers.
The main weapons are four 4mm machine guns installed on the wings, and the wings can also carry 12.7kg or 30kg aerial bombs.
Of course, in order to increase speed, aerial bombs were naturally abandoned.
Now the only one that can catch up with the enemy is this Type 2 fighter.
Originally, they had no plan to equip themselves with this type of fighter jet, but they were badly bullied by the fighter jets of the Sichuan Army some time ago, so the headquarters had no choice but to secretly transfer a batch of new fighter jets.
"Huh? Is this a fighter jet I've never seen before? A new type of fighter jet?" Gao Yuntian immediately noticed the existence of the other party, changed the flying direction, rolled sideways flexibly, and flew out of his sight.
The Japanese pilots flying the Type 2 fighters were also veterans.
With superb operation, he kept flying the plane and tried his best to catch up with the opponent with the flight trajectory, but it was obvious that the distance between him and the opponent was widened.
"Baga, why can't I catch up?"
I'm obviously driving the most advanced fighter jet, so why can't I catch up with the other party?
"Why is the speed so fast? At least 700kM/h. Are there any fighter planes in the world more advanced than the Imperial fighter plane?" the Japanese pilot shouted hysterically.
As soon as he finished shouting, cold sweat broke out all over his body. He was caught on the tail by a fighter plane. He quickly drove the fighter plane and kept operating it, hoping to use his superb operating skills to make a turn and avoid the enemy's pursuit.
This technique is his strong point and is also the experience he has gained from flying for more than 500 hours. It can prevent him from being constantly bitten on the tail by Chinese fighter planes.
Apparently his efforts paid off, as the Chinese fighter ducked.
After all, his fighter plane also has a speed of 600 kilometers per hour, so the gap between the two sides is not that big.
"Hey, the performance of this fighter plane of the Japanese is really good." Gao Yuntian was a little surprised. He originally thought that it would be easy to capture it, but he didn't expect that the opponent would dodge it. It was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Everyone, be careful. The Japanese's new fighter planes are not weaker than ours. Don't be too careless. Form two teams and pay attention to coordination." After Gao Yuntian tested the approximate performance of the Japanese fighter planes, he immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Captain."
Soon the fighters formed mutual cover, and if they were in a passive position, they would immediately call on their companions for fire cover.
"Baga, I'm being bitten." A Type 51 fighter just got rid of a P fighter, but was bitten by another one and couldn't get rid of it at all.
He could only watch his fighter plane being shot down.
"Damn it, we still can't defeat the enemy?" Lieutenant General Moritaka Nakazono was on the roof of a building, watching his own new fighter plane being shot down again, and shouted in grief.
This is already the most advanced fighter jet in the empire, but it still cannot win.
What kind of fighter jet is the other side?
Could it be that the fighter jets that the Empire had worked so hard to develop were actually inferior to those of a local ragtag army?
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only watch his own planes fall one after another.
At this moment, the clouds in the entire sky were very beautiful, but unfortunately the fighter pilots of both sides had no time to watch them. They could only stare at each other's fighter jets and try their best to avoid being shot down.
This is a battle of technology and mind, or a psychological warfare, except that the stakes are your own lives.
The Japanese flight captain, Major Saburo Sugimoto, was flying his fighter plane towards a P51 fighter pilot who was chasing his companions.
He hoped that he could shoot down an enemy plane and thus reverse the increasingly disastrous air battle.
More importantly, to restore the declining morale.
Another idea is to see if we can get some airplane wreckage.
Let their military study what kind of new fighter this is.
He hoped to shoot down a Chinese fighter plane and thus reverse the declining air war.
After selecting the target, start to approach the opponent.
When the crosshairs of the sight are aimed at the enemy fighter, prepare to fire.
But failed again.
Because the other party directly shook the fuselage and changed the flight trajectory.
It made it impossible for him to aim.
This is also normal, because the P51 fighters led by Gao Yuntian are the elite of the Air Force.
Many of them were pilots he recruited by writing letters himself.
Needless to say, his own abilities.
With the help of advanced fighter jets, their technology is definitely not inferior to that of the Japanese army.
"What? Can it be done this way?" Sugimu Saburo was completely stunned.
The fighter plane operated by the other party suddenly raised its nose, climbed at an angle of sixty degrees, and then turned over.
"What? Can it climb vertically? Aren't you afraid of it falling apart?"
At this moment, the Japanese major's eyes were full of astonishment.
He has always considered himself an ace, but today he was indeed taught a lesson.
The main reason was that he was dazzled. From his perspective, he saw a climb of nearly 90 degrees.
In fact, it was only sixty degrees.
Even so, this one move directly paralyzed the opponent.
To the extent that, for a long time, Major Saburo Sugimoto would wake up and sit up in the middle of the night.
"Baga, what on earth is he showing off."
