Chapter 194 Air Raid
The inspection inside the Japanese military camp was very strict, but it was not difficult to get out.
Wang Ming and his companion hid under the chassis of the truck and escaped from the camp.
A few miles out of the camp, the two men loosened their hands slightly and fell to the ground, then rolled to both sides and entered the grass on the side of the road.
After walking for more than an hour, the two men met up with the special forces team.
"Captain, are you back?"
Wang Ming had dirt all over his face.
"Well, have you dealt with all the Japanese military police in the village?"
"It should be that you were discovered by the Japanese not long after you escaped. The Japanese soldiers in the village were ready to retaliate, but luckily we were waiting on the side and took care of them all!"
"Okay, let's move everyone out. The Japanese won't let us off!"
After making all the arrangements, Wang Ming and his companions sent all the important supplies from the Japanese camp to the independent column headquarters.
Li Yunlong slapped the telegram.
"Okay! Call Lu Tianlong for me!"
Lu Tianlong, who had just got off the airport, was taken to the military fortress headquarters in a jeep.
When Lu Tianlong looked at the excited Li Yunlong, he knew that something good must be happening.
"Commander, you called me?"
"Hey, you got a bargain, kid! Do you know what our independent column is doing recently?"
Although Lu Tianlong had only been in the Independent Column for a short time, he had already been on good terms with Dai Anlan, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu.
The entire independent column was in an uproar that day, how could he not know about it?
"Commander, are the Japanese here to cause trouble again? I heard Captain Shen and Captain Zhang arguing over who will lead the attack!"
"These two guys, are they getting naughty again? Forget about these two bastards. How is your aviation division's training going? Now I'll give you a mission, can you complete it?"
When Lu Tianlong heard that there was a war to fight, he also became excited. The simulated air combats these days were boring at best. He had been looking forward to practicing with the Japanese and taking revenge.
"Commander, the aviation division is ready! Just waiting for your order! How many planes have the Japanese sent?"
Li Yunlong looked at the belligerent Lu Tianlong, and the star in his heart finally fell to the ground.
I originally thought that Lu Tianlong had some trauma about the Japanese planes, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.
"This time it's not the Japanese planes. Your first battle will be to bomb the Japanese military camp. I'll give you the coordinates later. Considering that this is your first battle, I won't give you a target. Just drop all the bombs!"
Lu Tianlong is also a proud soldier. How can he fight without a goal?
"Commander, on behalf of the aviation division, I want to make a statement and ensure that the mission is accomplished!"
Wang Meng interrupted.
"Master Lu, you must remember to parachute immediately if something happens. We have a big family and a lot of planes, and our pilots are our treasures! Don't try to trade lives for planes!"
Lu Tianlong's eyes were filled with tears. With a commander like him who loved his soldiers like his own sons, what was there to be afraid of?
"Yes!"
The F6F Hellcat can carry a 900 kg aerial bomb and six 6-inch rockets.
According to the plan, at five o'clock the next morning, the First Flying Squadron, led by Lu Tianlong himself, took off and headed for Jincheng with a full load of ammunition.
The Second Flying Squadron, with full fuel tanks, closely monitored the enemy's movements to prevent sneak attacks by enemy aircraft.
At around 59:60, the st Flying Squadron split into two formations and flew towards the camps of the Japanese th Brigade and th Brigade respectively.
"All squadrons, attack freely, beware of enemy anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns!"
"understand!"
The F6F began to gain altitude, then used its own heavy weight to dive.
The shrieking sound pierced the dim morning light, and the Japanese soldiers in their sleep cursed.
"Damn it! Those bastards in the aviation corps always train so early in the morning!"
The Japanese soldier couldn't contain his anger, so he rushed out, ready to point his finger at the sky and curse.
But as soon as the tent was opened, dozens of planes swooped down.
The first plane dropped a black bomb.
"idiot!"
A ball of fire burst out from his pupils.
A large pit with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of 8 meters was blown up in the Japanese camp.
Within the 150-meter radius of the explosion, not even a mouse can survive, and all living things within 400 meters are severely damaged, with life and death in danger.
More than a dozen 900-kilogram aerial bombs turned the Japanese camp into a sea of fire.
That’s not all. Dozens of five-inch rockets were fired at key targets.
The Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns finally arrived and began to attack the P6P Hellcat in the sky like a tickle.
However, sporadic firepower has no effect on the Hellcat's thick skin and flesh.
The fighter planes of the 59st Flying Group flew over the camps of the 60th and 2th Brigades, emptying the bullets of the M heavy machine guns.
Finally, he wagged his tail and walked away.
Li Yunlong, Wang Meng and Zhao Gang, who were waiting at Pingshun Military Airport, were all looking forward to seeing the fighter planes of the First Flying Regiment land one by one.
"1, 2, 3,..., 30!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Lu Tianlong excitedly rushed to the tower and saluted.
"Report to the Commander, Political Commissar, and Chief of Staff, the Independent Column Aviation Division has completed the bombing of the enemy's 59th and 60th Brigades!"
Li Yunlong nodded. This was the aviation division's first mission. As long as they could return safely, they would have successfully completed the mission.
"Very good! This mission was accomplished well! Leave the pilot on duty and let the others go to rest. The Japs will definitely retaliate, so be prepared!"
Lu Tianlong scratched his head and still refused to leave.
"Commander, how effective is our bombing this time?"
Wang Meng took a telegram and handed it to Lu Tianlong.
"Captain Lu, the special forces team that was observing the periphery has sent us a bombing assessment report! After the assessment, two Japanese ammunition depots and two field hospitals were destroyed. It is preliminarily estimated that more than 3,000 Japanese were killed. The effect is very good!"
Lu Tianlong didn't expect to achieve such good results.
There are actually three reasons:
First, the Japanese were blindly arrogant and thought that the planes of the independent column were just old-fashioned planes. They did not dare to take the initiative to attack and therefore did not enter the underground bunker.
Therefore, the bombing effect was very good, especially the explosion of the ammunition depot, which left no one alive within a one-kilometer radius.
Second, the bomb carried by the P6P Hellcat weighs 900 kilograms.
Whoever falls on this powerful weapon will be in big trouble.
Third, the Japanese lacked air defense weapons on the battlefield in North China.
The Japanese were the ones who bombed others on the battlefields in North China and even in China. They never expected that they would be bombed by the planes of the Independent Column in the small city of Jincheng.
As a result, the Japanese suffered countless casualties and lost a lot of weapons and ammunition.
In Jincheng, Kenjiro Keiichiro Miura was furious as he saw the sea of fire outside the city.
"Baga! Hold a combat meeting immediately!"
