Chapter 375: The Bombing
Chapter 375: The Bombing
This sudden attack caught the Japanese off guard. In their view, the soldiers of the Security Corps had already killed 8,000 of them today, so they should at least rest on their laurels. Even cleaning up the battlefield could not be completed in an afternoon. Little did they know that the people of the Security Corps would not even look down on those shabby equipment of theirs. They would just go over and ask someone to take a look and then come back. As for those Type 38 rifles, they all went to Zhang Fabai's troops.
If his own army was in the rear and there were enough people and time, Mao Yuanshan would also have people collect the weapons of these Japanese devils. Although the regular troops could not use these weapons now, there were many more militiamen in the rear, and they also needed weapons. Although he could exchange them for better weapons, Mao Yuanshan must pay attention to a tiered configuration. If the militia and the regular troops used all the same weapons, it would be difficult to distinguish them. After all, the militia was an army that had not received sufficient training, so they must first adapt, and the single-shot rifle was the best adaptation.
Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko has been really unlucky recently. As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he discovered enemy planes. His guard team quickly transferred this guy away. Otherwise, if he suffered any losses on the battlefield, the wrath of the Japanese royal family would not be something the Central China Expeditionary Force could bear.
"Damn it, where are you guys taking me? I am His Royal Highness the Prince of the Empire of Japan. No matter how fierce the battle is, I must be on the front line." Prince Asaka Naruhiko slapped the guard next to him hard.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The Chinese's firepower is too strong. You can't stay on the front line. If you get any damage, it will be unimaginable for our entire front line. So you have to stay here." Prince Asaka Naruhiko was also very sensible. Just now when he was on the way, his guards pulled him, but he just shouted and didn't think about going out. Now that he was in the underground air-raid shelter, he kept wanting to get out, and he even took action. His acting skills were definitely Oscar-level.
Unfortunately, these ordinary Japanese devils couldn't see it and still thought that their Prince was very brave. Look at the bombing above, it is so severe. It has been half an hour since it started, and it has not stopped at all. Those planes came in batches, and no one knows where they got so many bombs.
Our Prince has been asking to go out for half an hour. It is so safe underground, but he just doesn't want to stay there. He just wants to go up and be loyal to the Empire of Japan and serve His Majesty the Emperor. This is really something worthy of our admiration, and we should learn more from him in the future.
These people are still very safe here. As long as they are not hit directly by a 500-kilogram bomb, there will be basically no problem.
But the soldiers above them were not so lucky. Although they had built fortifications on top, any fortifications were useless in the face of a 500-kilogram bomb, which was actually very valuable.
During the Second World War, these 250-kilogram bombs were all used to bomb aircraft carriers and battleships. Even some small warships might not have had this treatment. But now they are all used on land by Mao Yuanshan. That means only people with deep pockets can do so. When the Americans bombed the Japanese devils, they also used -kilogram bombs.
For Mao Yuanshan, the exchange price of this bomb is just fifty merit points, and now that his level has been raised, he gets to buy five and get two free.
Every clone trooper who becomes a pilot can get two for free every day.
There are also many foreign embassies around the Luoding area. Their military attachés in China are all at the highest point of the embassy, observing with binoculars. Later, they came to the conclusion that, let alone the Japanese here, even if they were the most elite troops of any country in the world, they would be blessed by God if they could maintain 60% of their combat effectiveness under such high-intensity bombing. Most of the troops, if they did not have strong willpower, would simply accept surrender.
The Japanese troops in Luodian area are all elite and have received this kind of air defense training in normal times. However, everything that happened today made them feel that their brains were not enough. Before, they knew that the Chinese Air Force was powerful for security and had received their bomb baptisms several times, but none of them were as fierce as today. They originally thought that it would be over in an hour, but they did not expect that the bombing would last for nearly an hour and a half, and there was no sign of stopping. Their superiors have already sent a telegram to the air force, but for some reason, an hour and a half has passed and there is no Japanese plane in the sky. Did all the pilots have a day off today?
While these guys were being bombed, the Japanese Air Force had already launched more than 60 fighter jets, which was half of the fighter jets that the Central China Expeditionary Force could mobilize. They also knew that the bombing of the Security Corps was very powerful. Without the support of the Air Force, it was very likely that this unit would be wiped out in the bombing.
Most of the fighter planes used by the Central China Expeditionary Force are Type 109 fighter planes, which were produced by the Type Fighter Production Company. This type of fighter plane was already outdated when it first came out. Now when it comes to dealing with Germany's latest Bf fighter plane, the difference is like you holding a stick and the other party holding a pistol. If you want to rely on fighter planes like these to stop the bombing of the Security Corps, you'd better go home and study for a few more years!
The result of the battle was known to everyone, because they found that in addition to bombers, there were more than 25 fighters in the fleet. The soldiers on the front line knew that there was such an unspoken rule on the front line. The appearance of air force fighters in the sky meant that the enemy's fighters were defeated. This was indeed the case. More than Japanese planes were dispatched, and returned this time. The rest were all shot down, and the air force of the security group lost five fighters and two pilots.
