Chapter 152: Japanese Aircraft Group Bombing Beiping City
Following the outbreak of battle at Lugou Bridge, the citizens of the entire Beiping City were immediately alarmed, and the reporters from the major newspaper offices were also stirred up.
“Have you all heard? Fighting has already broken out on the Lugou Bridge side. I heard a lot of Japanese Troops have come, along with Japanese Aircraft Group and Artillery Group there attacking our troops!”
“We’ve all heard. What do we do this time? Should we flee from here immediately? Or see if the 29th Army can defeat these invading Japanese Army? They have defeated these Japanese Troops before, so they should be able to this time too, right? I’m a bit worried they might lose! I heard the current Japanese Army is different from before; they all have Aircraft and Cannons, and mechanized troops with tanks! While most of our 29th Army’s weaponry is still light weapons, even cold weapons. This battle will be tough to fight~!”
“Tough or not, we have to fight! There’s only this one troop stationed here. If they don’t resist Japanese Invaders, won’t we suffer the same ravages from Japanese Troops as the fallen Northeast side?”
“Yeah! Why don’t we go right now to support the 29th Army and engage in combat against the enemy!”
“As long as we can defeat those damned Japanese People and drive them away, I’m willing to immediately donate money and finance!”
“Do you think the Central Army side will dispatch some reinforcements to support us here in resisting Japanese Invaders?”
“Who knows! The Central Army is so far from us! By the time they arrive here, the battle here will probably be almost over—either the 29th Army wins, or the Japanese Troops win!”
“I think we should immediately turn our attention back to the battle on the Lugou Bridge side and the battle on the Yuanping City side! As long as those two places aren’t occupied by Japanese Troops, we’re safe!”
Thus, soon, all sorts of discussions were constantly spreading through the streets and alleys of Beiping City,
Many citizens were inwardly panicked, discussing with tense and uneasy expressions whether the 29th Army could hold off the invading Japanese Army.
And at this moment,
Quite a few citizens also immediately focused all their attention back on the battle at Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City.
Meanwhile, the major newspaper offices also dispatched all their elite war reporters to interview the frontline battles,
They needed to publish the firsthand war photographs and information in the newspaper to make quick money as the front-page headline.
And with the city abuzz, many wealthy families were also planning whether to leave Beiping immediately.
As for those patriot students and patriots, they were holding anti-Japanese War donation drive marches in the streets and alleys to support the 29th Army in resisting Japanese Invaders.
However, quite a few schools were also preparing to relocate their school addresses and move.
At the same time,
All the citizens of Beiping City also didn’t expect that just as they reached the peak of their agitation,
Buzz buzz buzz buzz
The roar of engines from a Japanese Aircraft Group suddenly appeared and echoed over their city.
“Oh no! It’s the Japanese People’s aircraft group coming for air strike bombing! Quick, take cover! To the air-raid shelters, or other anti-air buildings for cover!”
“Why did the Japanese People’s aircraft group suddenly come here for air strike bombing? Are they really planning to fully ignite the war?”
“Nonsense! Fighting has already broken out on the Lugou Bridge side, and on the Yuanping City side, they’ve also surrounded the main Japanese Army forces on three sides, so what’s strange about air striking here?”
“Quick, take more cover! We have no anti-air weapons or anti-air troops here. The Japanese People’s aircraft group has started dropping aerial bombs! Quick, take cover! Otherwise, it will be too late!”
With the sudden appearance of these Japanese Aircraft Group, the citizens of the entire city were immediately scared pale and cried out in alarm.
And many people also began to flee in extreme panic toward anti-air buildings in the nearby areas.
And the Japanese aircraft group’s air strike bombing also began.
One after another aerial bomb was quickly dropped.
And just as these Japanese Aircraft Group were rampaging freely, preparing to carry out carpet air strike bombing,
A group of FW-190 fighter jets also rapidly headed here,
And behind them, another group of “DH98” Mosquito bombers followed,
Originally their combat objective was to go air strike bomb the Japanese Troops on the Yuanping City side, but they suddenly encountered these Japanese Aircraft Group that were gleefully air strike bombing Beiping,
So they couldn’t hold back and joined the air combat of the counterattack operation,
Preparing to shoot down all these chance-encountered Japanese Aircraft Group.
Then, continue on to air strike bomb the Japanese Troops on the Yuanping City side, especially the Japanese People’s artillery unit, which was an even more priority bombing target for them.
