But this time, Chi Fengcheng only roughly counted, and there were more than a dozen small black dots.
Moreover, this may only be the first round, and there will definitely be more Japanese warplanes to ensure continuous fire coverage of the combat area.
Li Jianghe, on the air defense position, Wang Chengzhu looked up and saw Japanese warplanes roaring in.
The Bofors twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns are ready at this moment.
Several anti-aircraft vehicles also came along.
These anti-aircraft vehicles were modified from the Type 221 armored tracked vehicle by adding twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns.
The best thing about it is that you can hit and run without worrying about being targeted and shot down by enemy air power.
"Don't expose the air defense positions yet. The Japanese are more cunning now. With reconnaissance planes ahead, they're definitely coming for us."
Wang Chengzhu shouted from inside the armored vehicle.
After all, the Japanese soldiers on the other side weren't stupid; they must have known that the Third Detachment had anti-aircraft firepower, and that it was quite powerful.
Therefore, the Japanese army's priority now is not to deal with the garrison in the city, but rather the air defense positions.
Commander of the Japanese fighter group was Higashino Akichi, the commander of the 3rd Air Group of the Japanese Army.
He picked up his binoculars and observed the situation below as he flew past the side of Taierzhuang.
"Reconnaissance aircraft have repeatedly observed the area but have been unable to pinpoint enemy air defense positions."
The pilot standing nearby reported to the commander.
Similar reports were also heard on the radio communication channels.
"Of course, the enemy is not the bunch of fools in the main camp, so they will naturally choose to hide their positions first."
The first wave of bombers launched the attack, while the second and third waves stood by.
The fighter squadron is ready; once enemy air defenses are exposed, it will immediately dive-bomb and destroy enemy air defense positions.
Destroying an air defense position is not actually that difficult, especially a fixed target.
Once the position is exposed, it can easily be destroyed by a group of fighter jets with a complete air bombing system.
With the engines of the Kawasaki fighters roaring and the propellers spinning at high speed, the first wave of Japanese bombers began their dive.
Seeing his own fighters begin to dive, Rensuke Isogai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It's finally starting. Let these guys taste the power of incendiary bombs."
"I can't help but say this from the side," said Sei Takehira.
But just as the fighter jets were diving and bombing, the machine guns on the three Bofors twin anti-aircraft gun positions began to roar.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!!!"
A total of six twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns fired simultaneously at the same time, forming a dense network of fire.
The Japanese bombers leading the way were instantly covered by artillery fire, and before they could drop their bombs, they exploded and disintegrated in mid-air.
The pilots of the Japanese bombers following behind shouted.
"Enemy anti-aircraft guns!!! Raise altitude!!!"
They hastily dropped incendiary bombs, but they were still some distance from the air defense positions.
Almost the instant the anti-aircraft gun positions opened fire, Higashino Akichi roared:
"Bomber squadrons move to a new position, fighter squadrons dive-bomb and destroy enemy anti-aircraft artillery positions!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese fighter squadron hidden in the clouds immediately circled downwards and swooped down toward the anti-aircraft positions.
"No retreat! Keep firing!!!!"
On the anti-aircraft positions, none of the soldiers of the 3rd Detachment's anti-aircraft battalion retreated. Instead, they continued to fire, reload, and rain shells down on the Japanese warplanes.
Japanese fighter pilots roared in anger, and the cannons on both sides of their wings opened fire on the anti-aircraft positions below.
"Da da da!!!!"
Multiple machine guns fired continuously, while the fighter jet itself rolled constantly to avoid anti-aircraft shells flying from below as much as possible.
"Boom!!!"
The Japanese warplanes leading the way disintegrated during their dive.
However, the subsequent Japanese warplanes continued to dive-bomb and straf the enemy.
On the anti-aircraft positions below, the anti-aircraft gun crews faced the intense firepower of the Japanese army without flinching.
But machine gun bullets rained down, tearing the soldiers' bodies to shreds in the blink of an eye.
Around a Bofors anti-aircraft gun, there were broken corpses and dripping blood everywhere.
Even with only one soldier left alive, they still decisively pulled the trigger and roared at the Japanese warplanes in the sky.
The six anti-aircraft guns were quickly and completely destroyed in two rounds of strafing attacks by Japanese warplanes.
The Japanese also lost two fighter planes, and another plane with one wing damaged was wobbling and unable to continue fighting.
On the communications channel, the reconnaissance aircraft is confirming the extent of the damage.
"Target confirmed, all six anti-aircraft guns destroyed, bombing mission ready."
After receiving confirmation, Higashino Akachi said in an icy voice:
"Second and third waves of bombers, immediately bomb the enemy."
Little did they know that there were 10 anti-aircraft vehicles below, fully equipped and ready to go, just waiting for the arrival of the Japanese bomber group.
Wang Chengzhu looked at the anti-aircraft gun emplacement not far away, which was littered with blood and corpses, and said with bloodshot eyes:
"Brothers, when the Japanese bombers come, give them a good beating!!!"
"yes!!!!"
The scene of the ground air defense positions being destroyed was witnessed by every soldier in the air defense battalion.
They want revenge for their fallen brothers!
Finally, a tremendous buzzing sound began to echo in the surrounding air, as if it were going to tear people's eardrums apart.
A group of ten Japanese bombers had arrived over Taierzhuang.
Higashino Akachi stared coldly at the bomber formation and said in a chilling voice:
"Prepare to drop bombs!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, tracer bullets suddenly flew up from the city of Taierzhuang below, instantly destroying one of the bombers that was about to drop its bombs.
"The enemy still has anti-aircraft positions alive!!!"
Japanese bomber pilots screamed in agony.
"Keep dropping bombs!!! Take them down!!!"
Higashino Akichi growled.
But he soon discovered that the anti-aircraft fire that was firing tracer rounds and marking the trajectories was not just one place, but at least seven or eight.
"Fighter jet formation deployed!!!!"
Japanese warplanes also took off again at this moment.
As for the Japanese bombers, they searched for anti-aircraft fire positions on the ground and began dropping bombs.
But they soon realized something was wrong.
Why are those anti-aircraft gun positions constantly moving?
On the streets of Taierzhuang, anti-aircraft vehicles were moving around and firing at the Japanese troops in the air.
They no longer pursue so-called precision, but instead focus on ensuring the survival rate of anti-aircraft vehicles.
Rapid relocation, even firing during the relocation.
If the firepower density is sufficient, it is also possible to shoot down Japanese warplanes.
On the streets of Taierzhuang, you can see anti-aircraft vehicles speeding by and firing.
The twin-mounted cannons are installed inside the cargo compartments of these armored tracked vehicles.
