Chapter 1115 Continuous combat
Not all of the more than 130 planes that the Japanese army fled were survived. Many of them did not have the ability to fly at ultra-low altitudes, and the pilots became frightened birds. The huge mental stimulation and the reduction of fuel caused many problems in their operations that should not have. More than twenty people crashed and hit the mountain due to operational errors.
Because the plane's oil was exhausted and unable to return to the airport, more than 40 people chose to land or parachute. In other words, with Koi Iso Kyosaki's first air force, there were only more than 110 fighter jets left in the sky in Japan.
The Hualan Air Force also paid a considerable price for this. The 11th Division was severely damaged. In addition, each unit also suffered damage to varying degrees. As many as 97 aircraft were shot down, 89 of which successfully parachute, but thirteen people were parachute over Hokkaido, and their lives and deaths were still unknown.
This air battle can be said to be a great victory for the Hualan Air Force, but if you think that today's air battle will end like this, it would be too underestimated Li Ruyan's plan. When a large number of fighter jets were chasing and fighting over Sakhalin Island, the bomber group of the Hualan Air Force had quietly dispatched.
The Hualan Army dispatched all the heavy bombers. They circled a large circle from the sea, avoided the surveillance of the Japanese coastal defense line, and cut into Hokkaido from the east and west sides of the Qingjin Strait. When the scarred Japanese fighter jets returned to their airport, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.
In the north of winter, it was almost completely dark and the sight at the airport was unclear. The Japanese ground crew had to ignite with waste oil barrels next to the runway. With the vague light in the sky and the firelight beside the runway, the pilots barely landed on the runway.
The ground crew watched the sparse fighter plane landing, and the shocking scars on the plane were astonishing. A good Japanese soldier counted, and only seventeen fighter planes landed on the runway.
This airport is an important military airport in northern Hokkaido. When it attacked, nearly eighty planes set off from here. Now the ones who are returning are mixed with planes from other airports. They are forced to land here due to trek or insufficient fuel, but there are only so few planes.
The ground crew members didn't have time to pull the plane back to the nest, so they started to repair the plane directly on the runway. Some planes and even the entire tail wing were knocked out, and the situation was very miserable. Just as the Japanese mechanics were busy getting up and down in front of the plane, there were rumbling motors again from afar. This time there were a lot of them, and it sounded at least thirty planes.
When the Japanese ground crew heard the sound of the engine, they couldn't help cheering. They thought this was the subsequent fighter jet's return. It seemed that although the Japanese army was defeated, they still preserved enough power. Unfortunately, they didn't know what situation they were going to face.
Captain Gao Ming, who belongs to the sixth-level bomber, looked at the long list of flames under the wings, marking the outline of the entire Japanese army's airport, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Japanese army's fighter jets could not fight at night, and there were few searchlights for the anti-aircraft artillery troops. Night bombing was a good time.
