Otherwise, with the working style of these British and American pilots, it is better to do less than more.
They would never take the risk of diving down in their bombers and strafing the Japanese marching troops.
Now, all they wanted to do was fly the bomber to Chaozhou Airport as quickly as possible and land there.
In this battle, their mission was accomplished.
Not only can you report to your superiors.
More importantly, he can get money from Ye Qingshan.
However, the major officer of the Air Force could not miss such a good opportunity to attack the Japanese marching troops.
Finally, it was the major who proposed it.
As long as Duke leads his men and drives the bomber to strafe the marching Japanese troops.
Once they arrive at Chaozhou Airport, he can help them apply for a special allowance of US$200 from Ye Qingshan.
This is a business!
After asking other British and American pilots, Commander Duke raised the price to three hundred US dollars.
Finally, the consent of all British and American pilots was obtained.
So, there was a follow-up. He flew a bomber and dived and strafed the Japanese engineering regiment.
The attack lasted for more than half an hour before the British and American pilots flew their bombers away.
Otherwise, they would have to use up their last bit of fuel to power their bombers and fly to Chaozhou Airport for landing.
They could have continued their swooping and strafing attacks.
“The fuel is running low.
It’s time to go.”
With Duke on the communicator, he issued the command.
The bombers immediately gained altitude and continued flying eastward.
All that was left were the broken limbs of the devils scattered everywhere on the ground.
"Baga, damn Chinese!"
The commander of the Japanese engineering regiment, who was pinned down in a ditch by several Japanese soldiers, finally dared to show his head.
He cursed at the flying bombers.
The wailing of wounded Japanese soldiers around could be heard one after another.
The Japanese regiment commander looked around at the countless broken corpses of the Japanese and the large number of wounded soldiers, and he was also extremely heartbroken.
Half a day later, a Japanese lieutenant colonel came to the Japanese engineering regiment commander and reported:
"Sir, the casualties have been counted."
"Say!"
“A total of 332 of our soldiers were killed, and 625 were wounded.
Among them, 203 soldiers were seriously injured..."
The Japanese lieutenant colonel's report made the Japanese engineering regiment commander's face even uglier.
There were more than 900 casualties, a battalion of troops!
"Ah!"
The Japanese regiment commander roared like a madman, he was so angry.
"Your Excellency, Commander, there's a call from headquarters.
Let us return to Yangcheng immediately and redeploy our defenses east of Yangcheng."
Soon, this Japanese engineering regiment received new orders from Tanaka Hisaichi.
"Go back, go back immediately."
After receiving this order, the Japanese engineering regiment commander was actually somewhat relieved.
Immediately issue an order for the troops to return to Yangcheng.
The truth is, he didn't dare to lead his engineering regiment and continue marching towards Echeng.
Who knows if there are still any Kuomintang fighter planes in the sky, ready to attack them?
Until now, this unfortunate Japanese engineering regiment commander still hasn't figured it out.
Why did so many Kuomintang bombers appear in the sky and launch such a sudden and fierce attack on them?
Following this Japanese engineering regiment, they retreated in a panic to the defense zone east of Yangcheng.
The Japanese 108th Regiment on the front line of Echeng will no longer receive any reinforcements.
At this time, the commander of the 108th Regiment of the Japanese Army in Echeng, Kitani Sugetoshi, had also received a new order from the headquarters asking them to hold on to the end.
Kitani Suetoshi had a look of despair and anger in his eyes, and he tore up the telegram in his hand.
"idiot!"
Angry roar.
He knew very well what this new order from the headquarters meant to their wing.
It means that the headquarters has completely abandoned their wing.
Treated their team as abandoned pawns.
Next, they need to fight to the last man in Goose City.
Just to buy more time for the defenders of Yangcheng behind to deploy their defenses.
"Your Excellency, are we really going to...defend Goose City to the end?"
A Japanese lieutenant colonel standing nearby was also very unwilling when he learned of the command from the headquarters.
He doesn't want to die here.
"Why, do you still want to disobey the command of the headquarters?"
Kitani Suketoshi asked back with a gloomy face and a bad tone.
"Don't dare!"
The Japanese lieutenant colonel replied in a frustrated tone.
Disobeying orders means death, and it will also bring shame and implicate your family.
Following orders means dying, but dying in battle.
Since they would die anyway, they had no choice but to obey orders.
At this moment, Kitani Sugetoshi looked at another Japanese Zero fighter falling from the sky not far away and couldn't help but sigh.
The air battle over Goose City is still going on.
Moreover, the battle was even more intense than when the Japanese Zero fighter group was chasing the 40 P fighters piloted by Leng Tiancheng and his men in the morning.
In just over ten minutes, they saw more than ten fighter jets from both sides being shot down in Goose City alone.
Although, it is still unclear how and where these Kuomintang fighter jets in the sky came from.
But, this sudden situation came from the sky.
In addition, the headquarters sent them an order to hold their ground.
Kitani Suetoshi quickly reasoned in his mind, and it seemed that he had figured out everything.
“How did this battle turn out like this?
In the morning, it was clear that our flying group had an absolute advantage in the sky.
Encircle and suppress the fighter jets in Ye Qingshan's hands.
But by noon, the situation was completely reversed.
They turned into Chinese fighter planes and hunted down our pilots."
The Japanese lieutenant colonel standing nearby said in confusion.
At this moment, most of the Japanese officers in Echeng were similar to this Japanese lieutenant colonel.
I am confused about the strange battle situation today.
On the contrary, the Japanese regiment commander Kitani Suketoshi, who had already figured it out, sighed and explained:
“This is simply a trick set up by Ye Qingshan.
It turns out that his target was not only the defense line of our Goose City.
More importantly, it is our flying regiment.
Our Goose City defense line is just a bait for him to attract our flying group.
His real purpose is to annihilate our flying regiment first and seize air superiority.
Then break through our Goose City defense line and head towards Yangcheng.
Unfortunately, no one in our headquarters could see through Ye Qingshan’s trick.
Finally, I got the single order."
“But there’s one thing I can’t figure out.
That's where Ye Qingshan got so many fighter jets from.
Presumably, Commander Tanaka and General Lengshui did not realize this either.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been fooled.”
“I can only say that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person.
Ye Qingshan is indeed a major threat to our empire.
It must be removed.”
