    Chapter 723: The End of Nishimura Air Force

    The final battle of the Nanjing Air Defense Defense War ended. Nishimura-emon Air Force came in with great momentum. More than a hundred planes broke their wings in the sky over Nanjing. Only 60 or so planes fled in panic. Nishimura's plane swayed over Nanjing.  Uncertainly, a group of Japanese pilots who had suffered a defeat and narrowly escaped death were followed behind them. They were still frightened, their faces were green and their lips were white, and their eyes were dull. It was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the terrifying blow of the overwhelming anti-aircraft firepower in Nanjing City.  -< Piaotian literature registered members recommend this work >-%.net

    Nishimura was also asking for his own misfortune. He took the same route when he came, and when he returned, he still took the same route, but he didn't know that the situation was completely different. When he came, he had strong troops and horses, but when he returned, he suffered a new defeat. His strength was greatly reduced, as if he had been defeated in a battle.  How can I still have any courage to fight? I am afraid that the plane will go too slowly and I will not be able to get back to Taiwan for lunch.

    Gao Zhihang led the destroyer unit and had been circling in the Fuzhou airspace for six or seven minutes. A dark cloud happened to drift over. He led the fleet to hide in the clouds. He only sent a squadron of four fighter jets to conduct reconnaissance on the Japanese return route. He was waiting  When I was anxious, the reconnaissance aircraft reported back that the Japanese aircraft group had appeared, consisting of more than 20 fighters and more than 30 bombers. It was expected that they would meet our aircraft group in five minutes.

    Gao Zhihang was not very satisfied. The meat left for him was probably too thin. Commander-in-Chief Tang was also ruthless. In just a short time, he killed almost two-thirds of the Japs' planes. If this continues, the Air Force will still  Is there a job to be done?  At any rate, each of my brothers was assigned a Japanese fighter jet. No matter what Gao Zhihang was muttering in his stomach, Nishimuraemon was determined to return to Taiwan.

    After calming down, he began to think about how to report this fiasco to the War Department, how to cover up the fact that he had made a command error, so as not to lose his hat and not be ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize. He had already thought of a scapegoat and put the responsibility on the Naval Air Force.  They said that they failed to promptly report the anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese defenders in Nanjing, which caused the Nishimura Air Force to suffer such heavy losses when the enemy's situation was unknown.  , but this is the only reason that can be found, which barely makes sense.

    Nishimura was so preoccupied with how to shirk his responsibilities that he didn't bother to search the air. Gao Zhihang, who was flying in and out of sight in the high clouds, immediately focused on Nishimuraemon's head, which was leaning like a cramp.  This little devil is the commander of the fleet. The logo painted on the plane is different from other little devil aircraft, and the flying position is also prominent. When the remnants of the Nishimura Air Force arrived in the ambush airspace, Gao Zhihang only shouted: "  Brothers, send these little devils¡¯ planes back to grandma¡¯s house.¡±

    As soon as he pressed the nose of the plane, he shot towards Nishimura's plane like an eagle from high altitude. The suddenly clear airspace made his mind clear. Behind him, there was a Chinese fighter jet that suddenly shot out like a sharp arrow, rushing toward him like a mountain.  The unsuspecting Japanese aircraft group, Nishimura Eemon, who was full of thoughts, instinctively felt that a dangerous atmosphere was approaching. He looked up and searched around, but found nothing. When he looked up, he was stunned and his throat was dry.  A Chinese fighter jet almost plummeted from the sky above his head. The posture was a fight of mutual destruction, with a vicious momentum.

    Nishimurayuki had time to shout: "Enemy planes, disperse in combat formation," and then pulled the control stick, preparing to dodge the head-on blow, but he forgot that his own plane was difficult to control.  , but the plane was not in place, Gao Zhihang gritted his teeth, his eyes only saw the expanding outline of the Japanese aircraft, his fingers pressed tightly on the machine gun firing button, and the fuselage trembled slightly.

    Two chains of fire visible to the naked eye shot out from the nose of the plane, and along with the brisk "click-click" sound of the machine gun, they hit Nishimura's plane fiercely. Within a distance of less than 60 meters, more than a hundred machine gun bullets were fired, all  Getting into the plane in Nishimura, a huge fireball appeared in front of Gao Zhihang's eyes, with billowing black smoke, and exploded into pieces with light smoke.

    As soon as the battle began, the commander of the Japanese Army Air Force in Taiwan, Japanese Army Colonel Nishimuraemon, was beheaded by Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Chinese destroyer force. Nishimura did not even see the attack clearly before he died.  The basic outline of his Chinese fighter jets. The battle broke out suddenly. One side came prepared with calculated calculations but no intention, full of vigor and fighting spirit. The other side had just suffered a defeat and was bent on escaping. It was unprepared and had low morale. This  The battle cannot be fought.

    Moreover, according to Gao Zhihang's order, all fighter jets attack the Japanese fighter jets first. The remaining bombers, even if they push the throttle all the way, can't run far. Basically, three against one, flying up and down for a while, although  The Japanese pilots fought back like crazy dogs and even resorted to a perilous strategy. Seeing that they could not escape, they tilted the nose of the plane and prepared for collision, shouting: "Long live the Empire of Japan."Long Live His Majesty the Emperor"

    The Chinese pilots who had the upper hand would not play with the little Japs in this bushido spirit. They swung their wings to dodge, and the fighter jets that followed behind accurately sent a string of trailing machine gun bullets into the Japanese aircraft.  , one after another, black fireworks with orange flames bloomed. All the Japanese fighter jets were shot down. Not one of them fell to the ground dragging black smoke. They were all blown up and exploded in the air. The Japanese pilots did not even have the chance to parachute.  No.

    After killing the Japanese fighter jets, it was the Japanese bombers' turn to be unlucky. The Chinese pilots, who were capable of fighting, immediately caught up with the Japanese bombers who were desperately escaping. They rushed like tigers into a herd of sheep and had an advantage in numbers. Twenty minutes later,  No more Japanese planes could be seen in the sky. The Nishimura Air Force was completely wiped out. Ninety bombers and fifty-two fighter jets, as well as the Japanese pilots, no one survived. They came all the way from Taiwan, but in  Lives ended here. The battle went extremely smoothly. Not even a single Chinese fighter plane was damaged.

    Gao Zhihang was still unsatisfied. He flew the plane in a circle and picked up the transmitter: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Tang that our destroyer aircraft forces wiped out the remnants of the returning Japanese aircraft over Fuzhou and shot down a total of 64 Japanese aircraft of various types.  No one died, prepare to return now," Tang Qiuli could hear the excitement in Gao Zhihang's Northeastern accent, and knew that the air battle went extremely smoothly.

    "Commander Gao, congratulate the Air Force on its greatest victory. Now you are ordering your troops to land immediately to replenish ammunition and fuel, rush to the sea off the Yangtze River Estuary in Shanghai, attack the transport fleet transporting Japanese infantry, and strive to send all Japanese troops into the East China Sea," Gao Zhihang  When I heard that there was still a battle to be fought, I was as excited as if I had drunk two kilograms of Laobaiganer. I shouted and hurried back to the airport.

    Tang Qiuli can safely let Gao Zhihang's destroyer force attack the Japanese transport fleet on the sea. The Japanese Navy's First and Third Fleets have withdrawn to the mainland, and the Japanese Army Air Force in Taiwan has been completely wiped out.  In the Shanghai area, there is no longer any Japanese air power that can threaten them.

    Bullying China does not have large warships or torpedo bombers. Japan's transport fleet only has a dozen small and medium-sized ships. It is a rare opportunity to escort the ships transporting infantry. Moreover, Gao Zhihang's destroyer unit did a good job.  , counting today's results, with 64 fighter jets, he achieved a record of shooting down 148 Japanese aircraft. Only six of his own aircraft were shot down and more than ten were injured. Such a record is unprecedented in the history of world air combat.  Also a miracle.

    Tang Qiuli could finally smile with peace of mind. The Nanjing air defense battle lasted for eleven days. At the cost of more than 10,000 casualties and hundreds of pieces of equipment damaged, nearly 600 Japanese aircraft of various types were shot down.  It was one-fifth of Japan's total aviation force, which was enough to make Emperor Hirohito burst into tears and roll on the floor. No matter how big the family fortune was, it could not withstand such a torment, let alone Japan, an island country that lacked everything.

    Japan wanted to use the bombing of Nanjing to destroy the Chinese people's will to resist, but it completely failed. Although the city of Nanjing was almost in ruins, Tang Qiuli was relieved that not a single Nanjing citizen was harmed. The Japanese air power  Suffering severe blows, he could take the opportunity to strengthen his air power. What's more, the situation in Nanjing City just provided him with a reason to persuade Chairman Chiang to move the capital. Chairman Chiang couldn't help but not believe it. Look at the tragic situation in Nanjing City.  How to ensure Chairman Chiang¡¯s personal safety?

    The First World War produced three benefits. Moreover, it was the use of Chairman Chiang¡¯s strategic resources, not counting the glorious image he left in the minds of the soldiers and officers of the Central Army. This was an intangible asset. The goal was achieved, and the mood  The relaxed Tang Qiuli smiled like an old fox again. The mountain tiger next to him felt a chill, and Mei Xue pulled his sleeves.

    Tang Qiuli was smiling happily in the almost ruined Nanjing city in the June sunshine. Chairman Chiang was in Wuhan, but he was restless every day. The war in Nanjing was changing day by day with Tang Qiuli.  The war situation reports were constantly sent to him. The more he read, the more frightened he became. The Japanese did not hesitate to spend their money to bomb Nanjing indiscriminately. The purpose was to force themselves to surrender and also to kill themselves. The Sino-Japanese peace talks  The door has been completely closed, there is no room for negotiation, and the two sides are in a life-or-death situation.

    Chairman Chiang is more than just angry. Why do the Japanese regard themselves as a thorn in their side and must get rid of them quickly?  Tang Qiuli, who beat them the hardest, did not use such great force to use more than 600 planes to bomb Nanjing for eleven days. This is forcing me, Jiang, to fight you to the end.

    As a result, Nanjing is by no means a safe place. Sooner or later, the Japanese will launch another large-scale attack on Nanjing. Japanese warships can sail to the bottom of Nanjing, and planes can fly over Nanjing to drop bombs. Once the Jiangnan war begins, Nanjing will be  The front line is too dangerous. You must stay away. You can get down.Where will the next step be?
