Chapter 589: Lao Li, don't worry about me, contact the base quickly and ask them to prepare in
Li Yunlong originally wanted to have a good chat with Lin Zhenhua, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhenhua would leave after just half a day. He was really reluctant to let him go, but thinking that Lin Zhenhua was going to solve the fuel crisis this time, he really couldn't delay, so he immediately agreed: "College students, you have to eat bite by bite, no one can eat a fat man in one bite. The fuel crisis has not been going on for a day or two, there is no need to be too anxious, everything should be based on your own safety!"
"The Yamamoto Special Forces have been very quiet these days. I always feel that this bastard Yamamoto Ikki has bad intentions and is probably planning a huge conspiracy. You must be careful when you return to the base. Don't fly back by yourself. I will contact Zhou Haishan in a while and ask him to send a team of fighter planes to escort you to ensure your safety!"
Lin Zhenhua did not refute Li Yunlong's good intentions. After having lunch with Li Yunlong, he returned to the Zhaojiayu base with the three fighters sent by Zhou Haishan. Just a quarter of an hour after the fighter plane took off, it encountered an ambush by a squadron of Japanese fighters. Lin Zhenhua flew the Goshawk No. 1 reconnaissance plane to the high altitude. Since his reconnaissance plane did not carry self-defense weapons, he could only climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters to avoid the crisis.
Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua had been following the operating specifications. Even though the weather was too hot, he still wore a pressure suit. He calmly drove the fighter plane and climbed rapidly into the sky. Two Japanese Zero fighters followed closely behind him and fired fiercely at him. There were several dangerous situations. Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to ask for help from the Air Force Battalion.
The Japanese didn't give him this chance at all. Two more Zero fighters rushed over and blocked all his escape routes. Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to continue climbing, climbing to an altitude of meters, but still couldn't get rid of the Japanese's pursuit. He could only grit his teeth and continue to climb, climbing to an altitude of 12,000 meters. The four Zero fighters of the Japanese didn't continue to follow him, but adopted the tactic of nose-up attack, constantly shooting at him crazily. He was almost hit several times, but fortunately he was safe in the end.
"Lao Li, I was ambushed by the Japanese fighter planes and have not escaped their pursuit. You should immediately order Zhou Haishan to ensure the safety of the base and not to attack without authorization. I suspect this is most likely a trap set by the Japanese. Once our air force battalion attacks, it will most likely be wiped out."
"The secret must have been leaked by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The Japs plan to wipe out our air force battalion in advance to eliminate the hidden danger. We must not be fooled by the Japs. I am still very safe. The Japs' Zero fighters cannot fly as high as I can. My current situation is very safe. I plan to fight the Japs until they run out of fuel and are forced to return." Lin Zhenhua said anxiously.
After learning that Lin Zhenhua was ambushed, Li Yunlong couldn't sit still. He was about to order Zhou Haishan to rescue him, but at this moment, he received a communication request from Lin Zhenhua. After learning that Lin Zhenhua was safe and sound, he felt relieved. He held the intercom tightly and replied in a worried tone: "College student, you must pay attention to safety and never lower the flight altitude. The damned Japanese Zero fighters are very powerful. Six of our bird reconnaissance planes were shot down by the Japanese ten minutes ago, and all six pilots died."
"I've been trying to get in touch with you, but I couldn't. I never thought you would be ambushed by the Japanese. Fortunately, our Goshawk reconnaissance plane flies higher than the Bird reconnaissance plane, exceeding the maximum flight altitude of the Japanese Zero fighter. But you must be more careful. If the Japanese want to use jumping tactics against you, there is still a certain chance of success."
"I will contact Zhou Haishan now and ask him to order all fighter planes to take off immediately. At the same time, have Lao Zhao and his men prepare for air defense operations. We must ensure the safety of the air force battalion at all costs."
Li Yunlong knew that Lin Zhenhua was in danger, and he said everything he wanted to say in an urgent tone, and the communication between the two sides was immediately interrupted. Li Yunlong did not let the telegraph operator call Lin Zhenhua, as he estimated that Lin Zhenhua must have been in danger again, and his heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again.
"Monk, contact Zhou Haishan immediately and repeat my order to Zhou Haishan to take action immediately!"
The telegraph operator hurriedly helped Li Yunlong contact the independent regiment headquarters. Zhao Gang, who was at the regiment headquarters, immediately asked the telegraph operator to connect after receiving Li Yunlong's call request. Before Zhao Gang could speak, Li Yunlong's anxious voice came over: "Old Zhao, the college student was ambushed by the Japanese air force on the way back to the base, and his whereabouts are unknown now."
"I'm contacting you not to ask you to send troops for rescue, but to ask you to sound the air defense alarm immediately. All troops should prepare for air defense operations immediately and guard the safety of the base's airspace at all costs!"
"As for the safety of the college students, there is no big problem at present. Four Japanese Zero fighters have targeted the college students. We have no way to send rescue planes now. The college students will lead the Japanese to fly in the direction of the base. Whether the college students can escape at that time depends on you!"
Zhao Gang said "OK" and immediately hung up the call. He ordered in an urgent tone: "Duan Peng, sound the air defense alarm immediately and order all battalions to immediately prepare for air defense operations. At all costs, shoot down the incoming Japanese fighter planes!"
Under Zhao Gang's command, Duan Peng quickly sounded the air defense alarm. After hearing the order, all the residents of the base immediately took action. The soldiers quickly took up their battle positions. Dozens of transport teams rushed frantically in the base, and they had to deliver the ammunition to the soldiers within a quarter of an hour.
Machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were set up in a very short time, and the radar unit scanned the base in all directions to determine the direction of the enemy aircraft. Half an hour later, five fighter planes were found approaching the base. Then the radar screen was refreshed again. This time, the radar screen was full of dense dots. The number of incoming Japanese fighter planes exceeded 100. The radar unit did not dare to neglect it and reported the matter immediately.
Ding Wei, who received the news in advance, quickly commanded three fortresses to fire at the Japanese Zero fighters in the air to cover Lin Zhenhua's landing in the base. However, due to the high altitude of the flight, the anti-aircraft guns did not pose much threat to the Japanese Zero fighters. Seeing that there was no chance, Lin Zhenhua could only continue to stalemate with the Japanese and wait for the night to fall.
The bombing plan was jointly formulated by Sato Ichiro and Fujiwara Ichiro. They used 2/3 of their resources and dispatched more than 140 fighter planes to launch an air raid on Maoershan Airport. Facing the fierce anti-aircraft firepower below, the two did not care too much, which was completely within their expectations.
"General Sato, let's first send out two squadrons of horizontal bombers to bomb the enemy's Maoershan Airport, and at the same time send out fighter units to destroy the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. Previously, we were indeed a little too careless, always thinking that destroying Maoershan Airport would not have much impact on the enemy, but after a careful damage assessment, we found that there were 12 hydraulic catapults installed on Maoershan Airport. This is a treasure in the hands of the enemy, and it is also the secret of why they can always be dispatched in time."
"As long as we can blow up these 12 hydraulic catapults, the enemy's air force will not be able to successfully take off and land a large number of fighter jets in a very short period of time to deal with our surprise attack. Our previous misjudgments have caused us to suffer many unnecessary losses. Now is the time to correct our mistakes. Today, we must destroy all the enemy's available airport runways at all costs, blow up important targets such as the enemy's reservoirs and arsenals, and reduce the enemy's war potential." Fujiwara Ichiro whispered madly.
Sato Ichiro also realized his previous mistakes. Due to the lack of fuel, he did not dare to let go of the bombing. Now there is a sufficient supply of fuel. The refinery has successfully produced gasoline, and the fuel shortage problem that has troubled them has been completely solved. There is a sentence that Lin Zhenhua said is very right. After losing the air force, the Japanese can cause them huge losses even if they throw stones from the sky.
"Yoshi! The Commander has approved our massive bombing campaign. In the next six days, we will bomb all of the enemy's arsenals into ruins and destroy all of their fighter planes. As long as we can gain absolute air superiority over the battlefield, no matter how many armored vehicles and tanks the enemy produces, they will only be moving targets and will not be able to play any role on the battlefield."
"It must be said that the Shuiquan Oilfield appeared at the right time. We don't have to worry about the oil shortage in the future. If it really doesn't work, we can just throw the oil barrels onto the enemy's position and blow them up by detonating small bombs. Just thinking about that scene makes me want to sing a song to express my excitement."
"Since I came to Taiyuan City, I have never felt so proud as I do today. I will use the blood of my enemies to wash away my past shame."
Ichiro Sato and Ichiro Fujiwara were well prepared this time. In order to ensure that the news would not be leaked, they made many confusing moves in advance. This led to Li Yunlong receiving wrong information. He thought that the Japanese Air Force was fighting with the Third Air Brigade from Shancheng. He never thought that the Japanese target was actually the Zhaojiayu base.
