Boom-"

The devil bomber was torn apart, metal fragments were flying everywhere, and a large amount of oil was floating on the surface of the river.

After such a while, two enemy planes were shot down, and the remaining devil bombers were busy dodging.

The devil pilots did not guard against such powerful anti-aircraft guns in the Chinese army at all, and the two bombers that were hit were taken by surprise.

"Bagaya Road, there are anti-aircraft guns on the ground, beware of the Chinese artillery !!"

The devil pilot Shao Zuo shouted through the throat microphone and repeatedly reminded the other pilots.

The little devil's electronic technology is very average, the communication signal is intermittent, and in some cases the pilot can only communicate by gesticulating.

If the pilot Shaozo doesn't repeat it a few times, other devil pilots may not be able to hear it clearly.

The maneuverability of the Type 97 bomber is indeed more flexible than that of the previous light bomber, and several bombers frequently make evasive maneuvers in the air.

"Tom, tom, tom!"

Dense anti-aircraft artillery shells flew continuously, and the devil pilot operated the plane and narrowly avoided the flying shells.

Although the shells did not hit the bombers of the devils, they had already caused interference to the pilots.

In the face of the threat of ground-based anti-aircraft guns, it is difficult for several bombers to accurately bomb ground targets, and it will only be more dangerous to stay here.

"Hurry back, return home quickly!!"

The devil pilot fled with the bomber and soon disappeared over the position of the security regiment.

Six kilometers away from the south bank of the Huai River, on a mountainous commanding height, there are camouflaged very hidden around, and this is the headquarters of the 113th Division.

Nagao Nakajima, the commander of the Devil Division, stood outside the headquarters, holding a telescope in his hand to observe.

When he saw that the bomber had been shot down by the security group, he cursed angrily.

"Baga Ya Road, abominable security regiment, abominable artillery!"

Instead, Nakajima Nagao ordered artillery units to carry out artillery shelling on the north bank of the Huai River.

After more than ten minutes, the devil's heavy artillery brigade was ready for shelling.

12 105-mm field guns, lined up throughout the artillery positions.

The Devil's 105 field gun has a range of about ten kilometers, and after receiving the order to bombard, the Devil's artillery quickly waved the command flag.

"Tom, tom, tom......"

As the sound of artillery fire fell, more than a dozen large-caliber shells flew out of the barrels and flew towards the north shore in the distance.

From the devil's artillery position to the security regiment's defense line, the distance is about ten kilometers, and the devil's artillery range can barely hit the security regiment's position.

Of course, with such a long range of shelling, the hit rate of the shells will definitely be somewhat reduced.

Nakajima Nagao knew that the security regiment had a lot of heavy artillery, so he didn't dare to put the artillery position too close.

……

Li Hong left the forward position and quickly returned to the headquarters.

He stood in the headquarters, his eyes looking at the forward position a few kilometers away.

I saw a rain of shells pouring down from the south bank of the Huai River.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Shells flew in succession and smashed around the forward positions of the security regiment, and some shells landed on the river and the river beach.

The destructive power of the 105-mm field gun was huge, and it was a large area when it exploded.

The forward positions of the security regiment blown up by the shells shook the mountains, the river beach was full of shell craters, mud and sand were splashed, and high columns of water splashed on the river surface.

The soldiers of the security regiment in the forward positions built strong bunker fortifications, and the soldiers all hid in trenches and foxholes.

Li Hong moved the telescope and observed the situation in various parts of the forward position.

Smoke filled the forward position, and the fire of shells exploded in front of him.

The 105-mm shells were still very powerful, and even though the fortifications built by the security regiment were strong, one of the bunkers was destroyed by artillery fire.

If the little devil artillery continues to bombard like this, the fortifications of the security regiment will be seriously damaged.

After observing the situation of the forward position for a while, Li Hong spoke: "Communication troops, order the artillery to fire smoke bombs on the south bank of the Huai River!" ”

The communications corpsman picked up the phone and immediately notified the artillery battalion.

Five minutes later, the artillery of the security regiment received Li Hong's order, and the artillery quickly fired smoke bombs.

"Tom, tom, tom......"

Smoke bombs fell on the south bank of the Huai River continuously, surrounding the smoke for several kilometers, and the smoke that spread out caused a lot of obstacles to the sight of the devil's artillery.

After a while, the devil's shelling stopped.

The offensive routine of the devil's troops is almost the same, the aircraft is bombarded by artillery, and the infantry is charged by artillery and fired.

Originally, the devils planned to use planes and artillery to suppress the fire of the opposing security regiment first, and then the devils' vanguard took the opportunity to cross the river.

Now the devil's artillery has lost its role and can only carry out operations to force the crossing of the Huai River.

The commander of the Devil operation ordered the soldiers to board boats and cross the river.

"The imperial warriors cross the river, take the position in front, and give it to the ducks and chickens!"

"The imperial warriors cross the river, take the position in front, and give it to the ducks and chickens!"

More than a thousand devils acted as the vanguard, carrying weapons, jumped into the boats on the shore and quickly crossed the river by boat.

This time, the little devils changed their landing tactics, and the devils were divided into two offensive echelons and boarded ships from the two locations of Fengshadu and Nandu on the south bank of the Huai River.

Before the devils crossed the river to fight, they made full preparations for landing.

Nearly 100 ships were filled with devil soldiers, and the devils stacked sandbags on the bow of the ships to resist bullets from the opposite shore, and the devils also put light and heavy machine guns on the sandbags.

Except for rubber boats, the rest of these civilian wooden boats were all plundered by devils in the local area.

After all, the little devils have limited ships, and it is impossible for large troops to land, so they can only let the vanguard cross the river to establish a position, and then cover the follow-up troops to attack.

"The little devil has crossed the river, brothers are about to enter the fortifications and block the little devil from crossing the river!!"

The soldiers in the forward positions, one after another, came out of the bunkers and foxholes, and they took up their weapons and entered the fire fortifications.

"Da Da Da-"

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

The guns of light and heavy machine guns on the positions were loud.

The soldiers of the security regiment lay under the fortifications and trenches, and they took up their weapons, opened fire, and fired at the boats that rowed over, preventing the devils from crossing the river.

Dense bullets flew out of the positions on the north shore and "crackled" on the wooden boats and rubber boats on which the devils were riding.

Bullets flew into the river flotilla in pieces, some hitting the side of the boat, some hitting the sandbags on the bow, and some hitting the little devils on the boat.

"Ahh......h

The little devil who was shot let out a scream, fell into the river in twos and threes, or fell crooked on the side of the boat.

"Machine gun suppression, quick counterattack !!"

When the little devils heard the commander's order, they bent down one by one and lowered their heads to avoid the bullets, and the machine gunner at the bow of the ship pulled the trigger and fired to suppress the fire point of the security regiment on the shore.

"Da Da Da!"

"Bang Bang!"

Countless bullets flew back and forth, and the bullets splashed on the surface of the water.

The little devil sat on the boat, the ship swayed, and it was simply impossible to aim and shoot, which greatly reduced the accuracy of the shot.
