Chapter 364 I did it on purpose. I wanted him to die slowly!

On the ground, Cun Xingxing and others were looking at the sky.

Especially Cun Xingxing, he had heard long ago that the Air Force was equipped with a batch of new fighter jets.

Even during the Battle of Yangcheng, they shot down the Japanese army's new fighter planes.

Cun Xingxing had only heard of this new fighter jet and didn't know much about it.

I didn't expect that he would be so brutal when we met for the first time today.

Especially after being painted silver-white, its speed is as fast as lightning.

At this moment, more than 20 fighter planes were flying towards the Japanese fighter planes at a very fast speed.

"Hiss, the speed is so fast." Cun Xingxing couldn't help but take a breath.

He had seen fighter planes before, but they were not this fast.

The speed of the fighter plane at this moment was extremely fast, like lightning, which was simply incredible and indeed beyond his expectations.

The other officers were also dumbfounded.

Is this still their fighter plane?
So fast?
When did they have such advanced fighter jets?

This is really incredible.

The old members of the Sichuan Army Corps still vaguely remember how excited they were about capturing several fighter planes from the Japanese army.

They didn't expect that they now have fighter planes that are more advanced than those of the Japanese army. This was really beyond their expectations.

"It looks like the Japanese are in trouble." Cun Xingxing murmured.

Soon, the Japanese "Type 1 Fighter" that was flying was in trouble.

A tongue of fire flashed, and the flying "Type 1 Fighter" immediately burst into flames and thick smoke, then spun and fell to the ground.

boom!
There was an explosion!
It scared many Japanese pilots!
"idiot!"

They were all shocked by the Chinese army's fighter planes.

You know, this is a "Type 1 fighter".

The pride of the Army.

result?

Four fighter planes were shot down in one encounter.

It's hard to believe when you tell this to others.

Especially if those people from HNA knew about this, they would definitely ridicule them in various ways.

"Baga, can anyone tell me why the Chinese came so quickly?"

"Also, why are they so fast?"

"Is this the fighter plane that the 21st Army reported during the Battle of Yangcheng?"

Regarding this new fighter, they have always thought that the 21st Army was making excuses for its own incompetence. After all, no one has ever seen this new fighter.

Moreover, they are familiar with the models of the Chinese military's fighter planes.

There is no so-called new fighter jet at all.

Who knew it was actually true.

Now they are paying the price for their arrogance.

"boom!"

Just as he was stunned, another fighter plane was shot down.

"Baga, what are you daydreaming about? Fight back quickly." The Japanese colonel was so angry that he asked, "Why are you daydreaming? Fight back quickly."

However, he was soon stunned by the speed of the opposing fighter planes.

"Nani, this speed is really fast?"

"This is absolutely impossible."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

In his impression, his own "Type 1 Fighter" is already very fast.

The results of it?
The opponent's speed is faster than his.

Not only that!

The firepower is also very strong!
From a distance of about a few hundred meters, a volley of bullets could destroy their fighter planes.

“Isn’t this machine gun caliber?”

"Is this a machine gun?"

In fact, some people in the Japanese army had already proposed installing machine guns on fighter planes, but considering that the flying speed of the fighter planes would drop a lot after installing machine guns, this proposal was rejected.

This is absolutely intolerable for the Japanese army, which has always pursued speed.

The opponent's speed not only did not slow down, but became very fast. According to his visual estimation, it was at least more than 700 kilometers per hour, or even faster.

Damn, are there really such advanced fighter jets?
In fact, this batch of P51 Mustang fighters are British-made.

That is the NA-91 configuration "Mustang Mk.IA" of the Royal Air Force, some of which were equipped with four 4mm Hispano cannons.

I have to say that the machine gun is indeed very powerful.

As long as it hits, the person will be blown up on the spot.

"Colonel, the Chinese are equipped with new fighter planes, and our Type 1 Fighters are no match for them." Finally, several Type 1 Fighters were shot down again, and someone could not bear it anymore and started to advise.

"Yes, Colonel, let's retreat. We are no match for them."

"Withdraw."

It can be said that at this time, the Japanese pilots were completely convinced.

After all, they know how valuable pilots are.

Especially after the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army's ace pilots were basically lost.

Therefore, the remaining Japanese pilots were considered valuable.

Now I'm going to be wasted here meaninglessly.

The Japanese colonel would definitely not agree.

The main reason is that our own fighter jets are inferior to others.

He heard that the navy was equipped with a batch of German fighter planes, which beat the American beasts badly.

He felt that the army should also find a way to get the German fighter planes, so that the strength of their army aviation could be enhanced.

Seeing that the Japanese fighter planes were about to escape, the team leader Gao Yuntian naturally would not miss the opportunity to strike hard upon the downed dog, and took the lead in driving the fighter planes to chase after the Japanese.

On the ground, Cun Xingxing was also shocked as he looked at the sky.

He didn't expect that in just a dozen minutes, the air battle would undergo a drastic change.

The Japanese fighter planes, which were coming in with great force, actually chose to retreat.

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

"I didn't expect our fighter planes to be so powerful."

"The Japanese lost at least ten fighter planes."

"When did such an advanced fighter plane appear?"

"Isn't the speed of this fighter plane too fast?"

"This fighter is really powerful."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

They were a little worried at first. What if they lost the air battle?
Will the next offensive be hindered?
Are we going to retreat in such a disgraceful way?

Wouldn't that plan that was carefully made be in vain?

Fortunately, our air force performed very well and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese fighter planes.

This time the morale on the battlefield was boosted again.

"Orders, advance quickly and don't give the Japanese a chance to react."

Seeing this, Cun Xingxing immediately gave orders without hesitation, asking the troops to speed up the attack.

The troops received the order and their morale soared, and they rushed towards the Japanese positions.

The Japanese positions were like a blank sheet of paper, unable to withstand the tank charge.

Looking at the dwindling number of his subordinates on his own position, Lieutenant General Iikawa Genshichi was very anxious and at the same time felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Baga, where are our anti-tank guns? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Hearing what Lieutenant General Ishikawa Genshichi said, the operations staff officer next to him said bitterly.

"Your Excellency, our anti-tank guns are long gone. Now we have to rely on our flesh and blood to stop the Chinese army. Let's retreat."

"Mr. Commander, the current resistance is nothing but sacrifice. It has no meaning at all." The combat staff advised again.

In fact, the other staff officers at the division headquarters were also shaken because it really didn't make any sense.

It’s better to retreat!

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Iikawa Genshichi shouted immediately.

"Baga, without anti-tank guns, can we not fight? Tell the troops on the front lines to organize more suicide squads. For the sake of the empire, they need to sacrifice now."

"Hai!"

On the battlefield, the infantrymen following the tanks looked extremely relaxed at this moment.

It seems that they are not here to fight, but to collect corpses.

As the firepower of armored forces and artillery departments becomes stronger and stronger.

Many people agree that the role of infantry is more to collect corpses.

However, it can still play a significant role when accompanying tank attacks.

For example, in front of us, a Japanese soldier is rushing towards the tank in front with a bag of explosives.

Da da da!
He pulled the trigger and knocked the Japanese soldier in front of him to the ground. All he could hear was his wailing in pain.

After all, you won’t die so quickly after being shot.

Not to mention, the Japanese soldier was quite tenacious and rolled on the ground for a while but was not dead yet.

"Next time, aim at the head, don't shoot the chest." The old soldier next to him sighed and fired another shot, killing the Japanese soldier in front of him.

Hearing this, the recruit nodded, but still cursed.

"Damn it, I don't want the little devil to die so quickly, I want to torture him."

"Squad leader, you have saved the little devils a little pain..."

"Okay, this is a battlefield, and we still have a mission. After the mission is over, you can do whatever you want." The veteran knew what he meant, but this was a battlefield, and there was no time for these things. They could all be killed with one strike.

"When you meet the Japanese, fire a few more shots and I will let you get revenge." The old soldier next to him said patiently. He knew that the new recruit had a blood feud with the Japanese and joined the army to kill them. At the same time, the old soldier also had the responsibility to teach the new recruit.
The expansion speed of the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army was too fast, and there was a serious shortage of veterans. Basically, it was considered good if there were three veterans in a squad.

In fact, according to the requirements, a class must have at least 50% veterans, and new recruits are also added slowly.

Such a high proportion of new recruits will greatly affect combat effectiveness.

But there is no way, this is the consequence of rapid expansion.

"Sergeant, we can wipe out all the Japs on the opposite side." He was a new recruit who had been in the army for less than two months and it was his first time to go to the battlefield, so he was still very nervous.

"Of course, otherwise what's the point of such a big fuss?" the squad leader said with a smile.

For them, wiping out an entire division is not an easy task, but if they mobilize so many people, what is the point if they are not targeting a division?
Many people speculated that this time the entire Luzon Island would be captured in one go.

Otherwise it would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

"boom!"

As he was speaking, a violent explosion suddenly occurred nearby.

Several people suddenly felt a buzzing sound in their ears!

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of earth and rocks rushed towards them like rain.

Almost buried them all.

It took a while before I recovered.

Fortunately, the shell just now missed the target. If it had been more accurate, several of them would have been killed.

"Damn it, the Japanese artillery shells were quite accurate, and they almost killed me."

"unlucky……"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready to fire."

"Da da da!"

Several people pulled the trigger and fired wildly at the Japanese troops in the distance.

The Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards this side fell to the ground instantly!

boom!
However, some Japanese troops broke through the blockade, came under the tanks and detonated the explosives.

boom!
A loud bang!
A tank was blown to the ground and a thick smoke soon rose up.

The four crew members quickly climbed out from the top of the tank.

Covering his nose and coughing continuously.

"Damn it, these damn Japanese devils."

Originally, they could have achieved great things, but the result!

Now I can only watch others achieve success.

Thinking of this, the four of them felt depressed.

I didn't expect that a Japanese soldier would come up to me.

Fortunately, the tank's armor was thick enough, otherwise, all four of them would have been destroyed along with the tank.

"Can it be repaired?" the conductor couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid it can't be repaired. We'll have to trouble the repair shop in the back."

"Well, the next battle has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah, we can only watch the show."

"Actually, we can also be infantrymen." Someone couldn't help but suggest.

In fact, they were all infantrymen before, but later when the armored force expanded, they were recruited.

Now hearing that they were going to be transformed into infantry again, the other three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they are now assigned to the infantry, it is also a mission requirement and they have to return to their original armored regiment once the mission is completed.

"Forget it, let's just stay here and wait for orders. If the commander gets the news, we'll all be doomed." The commander thought about it and decided not to take the risk.

It's pretty good like this.

The battle was still going on, and the Japanese volunteer troops, under the command of the officers, rushed forward one after another.

Although most of the Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by dense bullets.

However, no matter how dense the firepower network is, there will be loopholes.

The Japanese troops were especially crazy and didn't care about casualties at all. They rushed up screaming.

Faced with such a frenzied counterattack, the 12th Division also suffered heavy losses in its tanks.

There were about a dozen tanks left on the battlefield.

At this time, the third line of defense had lasted for half an hour.

It took longer than the second line of defense, mainly because a lot of Japanese troops were gathered here.

In other words, the main forces of the Japanese army are distributed here.

In addition, the Japanese army is very crazy. It can be said that the situation here is in a stalemate and it will be difficult to break the situation in a short time.

At this time, the battlefield was littered with corpses.

Finally, after more than half an hour, the Japanese defense line began to loosen.

There was no other choice. In order to break the situation as quickly as possible, Cun Xingxing once again ordered the heavy artillery regiment that had just moved forward to open fire.

The powerful firepower instantly crushed the morale of the Japanese army.

After suffering more than half of their casualties, the Japanese army began to be unable to hold on, and gradually showed signs of defeat and began to retreat.

Seeing this, Cun Xingxing led his troops to pursue the victory without any hesitation.

He wanted to tear through the Japanese defense line in one breath and completely defeat the Japanese troops in the front.

"Tell the brothers to speed up. Whether we can wipe out the Japanese 23rd Division in one go depends on this battle."

"Yes!"

"Baga, we must not let the Chinese break through the third line of defense, otherwise we will all be doomed."

Upon learning that the third line of defense was about to be breached, Lieutenant General Hijikawa Genshichi immediately slammed the table.

He knew very well that the third line of defense assembled all the elite troops of the 23rd Division.

If the third line of defense was breached, his division would be completely doomed.

By then, I'm afraid I'll all die.

"Order each regiment to burn all regiment flags immediately. No regiment flag must be captured by the Chinese army again." Lieutenant General Iikawa Genshichi gave the order.

"Hay."

"Your Excellency the division commander, reinforcements from the rear will soon arrive. I hope we can hold on a little longer." At this time, the communications staff came over with a telegram and spoke quickly.

"I'm afraid it's too late."
