    Without the ferocious blows from Independent Division fighter jets, the formation commander breathed a long sigh of relief at the Japanese bombers that flew into the airspace from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. Although there were still a large number of Independent Division fighter jets behind him, he  The fleet is also escorted by fighter jets. Next, all we need to do is give the order to drop bombs and complete the bombing mission. As for whether they can return safely, it depends on their luck!

    "Attention all crews, we have reached the bombing target airspace and immediately entered the bombing channel. Then, all crews will return immediately!" The commander of the Japanese air bomber formation issued the order. After a pause, he added, "I wish you all good luck.  !¡±

    At this moment, both the commander of the Japanese bomber unit, the commander of the escorting fighter formation, and all the Japanese pilots widened their eyes in surprise. They were surprised to see that the sun was shining brightly in the distance ahead.  Small black dots appeared in the sky. In an instant, a huge fleet of aircraft appeared in front of them. The sheer number made the Japanese pilots dizzy.

    The aircraft group flying from which direction was definitely not the empire's aircraft group. Immediately, the eye-catching logo on the aircraft fuselage told the Japanese pilots that this was the independent division's bomber group, and it was a super large bomber group.  There were nearly a thousand of them, the roar of their motors resounding throughout the sky, flying from the sky above them as if there was no one around.

    The escorting Japanese fighter pilots were hesitant for a while. It stands to reason that this is the best opportunity to attack the independent division bomber group, and the escort fighter has not been found yet.  However, the formation commander's order.  It is to protect his own bomber group and complete the bombing mission. The commander of the Japanese escort fighter group is so entangled in his heart!

    In such a moment of hesitation, the independent division fighter group following closely behind rushed over like a tiger. It had just received the order from air commander Le Yiqin, "Attack immediately. Two regiments surrounded and annihilated the escort fighter jets of the Little Japs, and one regiment  Kill all the little Japs¡¯ bombers, it¡¯s time for these bastards to return to their hometown!¡±

    Being constantly besieged, flying into this airspace, the remaining Japanese escort fighter planes were only three regiments, while the independent division's fighter planes had as many as nine regiments.  If the orders of the division commander were not executed, all the Japanese mixed aircraft fleet could be broken into pieces before encountering the shooting down airspace!

    The fighter pilots of the Independent Division, who were holding back their energy, rushed forward ferociously, surrounded the Japanese escorting fighter planes, and started fighting with each other.  After a severe beating, the other first fighter group rushed into the Japanese bomber formation like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.

    The sky was immediately filled with pale white projectiles.  The fireball of an exploding plane, the shooting sound of "tat-tat-tat!"  Air battles continued in the airspace between Zhuanghe and Bayuquan to Chengzitan and Jiuzhaigou. The fighter pilots of the Independent Division used their superb skills, rich practical experience, and brave combat style to faithfully carry out the instructions of division commander Tang Qiuli.  Order to shoot down the Japanese bombers carrying poison gas bombs within the most concentrated range!

    The huge bomber group of the Independent Division rumbled past at high altitude. All the pilots witnessed the air battle in the sky below, and they said, "Good guys, these fighter brothers.  "You guys are so cruel!" "Captain, another fighter jet of the little fighter was destroyed!" "Look, the fighter plane of the little fighter is falling like dumplings!"

    Those experienced captains have experienced scenes like this countless times. It is said that performing bombing missions over the Northeast is the least dangerous job. The brothers in the fighter force have already cleaned up the bombers.  There were obstacles in the bombing area. "You haven't seen the world before, have you? Our commander has said that this time it will be an all-weather bombing. Be alert and be careful. Don't waste the bombs!" Some mature and serious captains looked at  The crew member, who had not participated in several bombings, warned him slowly.

    On the ground, people were evacuating into the wild in every village, town and county. That was when the local government was organizing the evacuation of residents. From Zhuanghe to Bayuquan to the area where the Japanese bombers were scheduled to be shot down, there were many military trucks on the mountain roads and dirt roads, fully loaded with them.  Independent division engineers and medics wearing gas masks drove over quickly.

    The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, issued the order to prepare for a full-scale offensive to all Japanese troops. At this time, four divisions of the Japanese Third Army had already assembled along the blocking line of the independent divisions. The first and fourth divisions of the Kwantung Army  All of the second detachment. Although yesterday's attack was repelled, the Japanese troops were not weakened. After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers began to get busy. Looking from a high altitude, they saw a line running through the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, wearing khaki military uniforms.  A band of figures, squirming like ants.

    Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, commander of the 107th Division, seemed to understand when he looked at the combat order personally signed by the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu.What's going on? Since early in the morning, I've seen the Empire's combat aircraft flying overhead. However, I only saw the fight between fighter jets, but there was no loud noise when aerial bombs exploded. Moreover, it seemed that the Empire's  Fighters are still at a disadvantage.

    Under such circumstances, Commander-in-Chief Umezu had to issue an order for a full-scale attack. Then, there was only one possibility. The imperial bombers used poison gas bombs. "Poison gas bombs!" Lieutenant General Shinyuemon smiled, "  Even if a precedent is set, there will be followers. I became the first general to order the use of poison gas bombs on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. This is an honor."

    What Lieutenant General Shinyuemon had in mind was not any conscience-stricken discovery such as self-blame. He was quite interested in the last few sentences of Commander-in-Chief Umezu's order, "In order to control the Liaodong Peninsula as soon as possible  The situation does not involve the energy of the imperial army. During the battle, all independent division prisoners captured during the battle will be executed on the spot. Especially after breaking through the Bayuquan to Zhuanghe, the independent division troops blocking line, the independent division soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness will also be executed.  They should be executed on the spot. Commanders of all units must strictly implement this order!"

    "It must be a poison gas bomb!" Lieutenant General Shinyuemon thought to himself, "Otherwise, there would not be a special order to execute independent division soldiers who have lost the ability to fight in the battle order!"

    On the opposite side, there are more than a dozen brigades and more than 200,000 independent division soldiers. In front of our own division, there are no less than 40,000 to 50,000 independent division troops, all of whom have lost their combat capabilities due to poison gas bombs. Just executing these prisoners of war will  It is enough for his own soldiers to be busy for a while. It seems that a special unit should be set up to take charge of this matter. The 107th Division cannot be delayed because of tens of thousands of prisoners of war from the Independent Division. Lushun, the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula  Mouth is your ultimate goal!

    Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon called over to the chief of staff of the division and gave some careful instructions. The major general of the division, chief of staff, kept nodding his head, but his face turned pale when he heard that tens of thousands of prisoners of war were executed at one time.  It was bloody enough. Looking at the nonchalant look of the division commander, he secretly admired him, "This is the real general of the empire. He is ruthless and hard-hearted. The lives of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are in the eyes of the division commander."  , almost like a piece of weeds in the wilderness!¡±

    After hectic preparations, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks began to approach the blocking line of the Independent Division. At this time, in the sky, the air battle was over. The Japanese commanders and soldiers on the ground did not know.  At the Fengtian Field Airport, Lieutenant General Matian, the commander of the Kwantung Army's First Air Force, his eyes were dull at the moment, as if his spine had been broken, and he was slumped on the chair in the war room.

    The losses were too heavy. Lieutenant General Asada received a report that the number of fighter jets that successfully returned from the air combat battlefield was only a few hundred, and most of them had battle wounds. It was still unknown whether they could fly back to the airport safely. Three  A bomber wing with more than 200 bombers, no one survived, and they all became pieces of debris and piles of scrap metal on the land and sky in the central Liaodong Peninsula.

    Nearly 1,200 combat aircraft were dispatched in full force, but they returned with a heavy defeat. Although they completed the bombing mission assigned by the Kwantung Army headquarters, the First Air Force was beaten to death. What was even more fatal was that the independent division's fighter jets  He was frantically chasing the remaining fighter jets that had returned home, pursuing them fiercely. The air combat battlefield had moved to the airspace around Liaoyang and Fengtian, and he was determined not to withdraw his troops until they shot down all the Imperial fighter jets!

    Regarding this, Lieutenant General Asada was angry, helpless, and resentful. He could no longer bring out a fighter jet to support his subordinates who might be shot down at any time. He couldn't let dozens of unarmed reconnaissance planes go to the rescue. First Aviation  The team was eliminated. General Umezu took the main responsibility, and he had no chance of staying out of the matter. The losses were too heavy, and he sighed deeply.

    Lieutenant General Asada, who had been sitting in a daze for a long time, his face so pale that his face was bloodless, ordered his adjutant, "Report the losses of the First Air Force to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and don't bother me with anyone or anything, including  Calls and telegrams from the Kwantung Army Headquarters!" After saying that, he staggered into the office and slammed the door. He needed to digest such a heavy blow. He also needed to sort out his thoughts on how to deal with the Army Aviation Department at the base camp.  The anger of those big guys!

    Contrary to the mood of Lieutenant General Asada, General Umezu Yoshijiro was in a happy mood at this moment. The loss of the aviation force only made him regretful, not even shocked. In his view, everything was for his own ultimate goal.  To serve the goal, as long as the Liaodong Peninsula is recaptured, all losses can be ignored.

    Ma Tian¡¯s aviation force has done what it should do. Next, it will be its own hundreds of thousands of soldiers who massacre the independent division soldiers who have no ability to resist!
