Chapter 118: Air Strike Bombing Division Commander Ueda’s Command Post
“Why are there enemy aircraft groups here? Baka Yarou! Why do they know my command post is there? And where did these enemy aircraft groups come from?”
When Division Commander Ueda of the Ninth Division was inside the command post, he was covered and escorted out by the terrified Japanese reconnaissance officer Hotta and a group of Japanese soldiers,
he immediately turned pale, staring at the I-5 fighter jet groups and TB-1 bomber groups driven by the foreigner mercenary pilots overhead, and said with a drastic change in expression.
His eyes were full of disbelief, because after the Japanese Army had absolute air supremacy, he could not imagine or believe that another enemy aircraft group would appear to carry out air strike bombing on his command post.
Such a thing was really far beyond his imagination.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Rumble rumble rumble! Rumble rumble rumble”
Right after he panicked,
A series of aerial bombs were dropped from these suddenly attacking I-5 fighter jet groups and TB-1 bomber groups, carrying out earth-shaking, deafening air strike bombing.
This was the first air strike bombing suffered by the Japanese Army Ninth Division since the Shanghai Operation.
Usually, only their aircraft groups went to bomb National Revolutionary Army troops,
No one had thought that now they would be counter-bombed by a group of enemy aircraft groups of unknown origin.
In an instant, the entire Ninth Division command post was thrown into chaos.
“Baka Yarou! Quickly protect Your Excellency Division Commander and take cover! Hurry!”
“Signal Corps! Quickly notify our Imperial Air Force for support, and the carrier-based aircraft groups from the Navy side for support operation!”
“We must annihilate all these damned enemy aircraft groups!”
“We absolutely cannot let these insidious and cunning enemy aircraft groups sneak attack and bomb us and then escape!”
After seeing so many enemy aircraft groups suddenly appear,
Ninth Division Chief of Staff Qi Ji Jiang outside the command post also decisively issued a series of operation instructions.
After his operation orders were issued,
Soon, all the Japanese soldiers reacted quickly. The Japanese guard members protecting Division Commander Ueda hurried over for protection, and the signal corps notifying the Navy and Army Air Force side also hurried to call for reinforcements.
As for those Japanese troops who were still in chaos, searching for concealed anti-air locations to carry out counterattack operation and avoid air strike bombing, they were also busy.
But after this sudden air strike bombing,
Quite a few Japanese soldiers were still killed on the spot in a series of huge explosions.
And Division Commander Ueda’s expression changed from drastic change to panic, and under the protection of his Japanese guard members, he fled in a very disheveled manner.
But before he could flee far,
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Rumble rumble rumble! Rumble rumble rumble”
Another fierce round of aerial bomb air strike bombing exploded not far from him,
So the blast wave’s lethality also rapidly came toward his side,
Amid the smoke filling the air, flying sand and stones, and shrapnel fragments flying everywhere,
Division Commander Ueda and the Japanese guard members around him were instantly engulfed by the smoke and shrapnel.
When everything was over, he, who was saved by the Japanese guard members using their bodies, fell into a coma due to the aftershock vibration of the blast wave, and his body was covered in wounds.
His life hanging in the balance.
And Ninth Division Chief of Staff Qi Ji Jiang also hurriedly directed the Japanese medical troops to carry out rescue,
But at this moment,
The air strike bombing by the I-5 fighter jet groups and TB-1 bomber groups driven by those foreigner mercenary pilots in the sky had not yet completely ended.
So explosions were still continuous everywhere, and casualties were continuous.
One after another, Japanese soldiers were being killed in action in the explosions.
