The next day.

Early in the morning, the various battalions and companies of the security regiment went to the headquarters to report to Li Hong on the defense of the position, as well as the deployment of troops and firepower.

"Report to the regiment, the first battalion has established a defensive position outside the city, and there are anti-aircraft fortifications!"

"Report to the regiment, the second has established a defensive position outside the city, and the anti-aircraft artillery position has also been established!"

"Report the regimental seat, the artillery battalion has set up artillery positions both inside and outside the city!"

……

Li Hong listened to the reports of his subordinates while taking the towel handed by the orderly to wipe his face.

When he finished washing, suddenly, there was a long, muffled sound of artillery fire.

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

The sound of artillery came from outside the southern city, and the noisy gunfire could be faintly heard.

After Li Hong finished washing, the communications soldier ran over after answering the phone.

"Tuanza, the front-line sentinels report that the Japanese army has launched an attack on the forward positions of the 13th Division!"

Li Hong nodded, stuffed a steamed bun in his mouth, and then walked out of the headquarters with a telescope.

The rest of the officers stood outside the headquarters, also holding binoculars to observe, and their eyes were cast on the battlefield in the distance.

The telescope's line of sight was cast in the direction of the south, and more than a dozen kilometers away, artillery shells flew sideways in the scope with flames, and the air was filled with gunsmoke.

Dozens of chariots of the devils advanced from several directions, and the devil soldiers were pressed one by one, attacking the forward position of the 13th Division.

The little devil attacked in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to send out the plane.

**The 13th Division is the old foundation of the Northwest Army, and the combat style of this unit is very fierce, but their weapons and equipment are average, and if they want to resist the 5th and 10th Divisions of the devils, the casualties will definitely be large.

The weapons and equipment on the battlefield are weaker than the opponent's, and they can only be filled with the lives of soldiers.

Although the 13th Division took the lead in front, Li Hong did not intend to sit idly by, even if he gave the other side a little fire support, he could reduce the pressure on the 13th Division.

Li Hong moved the telescope in his hand and carefully observed the battle situation in every position on the front line of the 13th Division.

Chen Lin held the binoculars and stared at the battlefield ahead, frowned and said: "As soon as the little devil comes up, it will be a fierce attack, and with the firepower of the weapons of the 13th Division, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold the forward position." ”

Zhou Wenxun, commander of the fifth battalion, continued: "The little devil has not yet dispatched planes, and the 13th Division lacks air defense weapons. ”

"Erdan!"

"Yes, Tuanza!"

Xiong Erdan put down the binoculars and walked to Li Hong.

"Immediately mobilize a rocket artillery platoon, and transfer two more anti-aircraft artillery squads to support the 13th Division!"

"Yes, Tuanza!"

Xiong Erdan saluted and immediately rushed back to his artillery battalion headquarters.

Li Hong turned sideways, called Chen Lin again, and asked, "Chen Lin, didn't your armored battalion capture a batch of Japanese weapons and equipment yesterday?" ”

Chen Lin replied: "Tuanza, the number of weapons and equipment seized has not yet had time to be counted. ”

"There is no need to count the weapons and equipment of those devils, immediately send them to the 13th Division, and then transfer ten anti-aircraft machine guns from your battalion warehouse."

"Yes, Tuanza!"

Chen Lin turned around and immediately went to do what Li Hong had explained.

With the assistance of the weapons and equipment of the 13th Division, even if it cannot resist the two elite devil divisions, at least the little devils will not win too smoothly, and the enemy will inevitably pay more casualties.

The officers and men of the 13th Division fought fiercely with the devils outside the southern city for half an hour, when suddenly, the sound of aircraft engines came.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Dozens of devil bombers, under the cover of fighters, roared in formation.

The Devil's Flying Unit knew that the anti-aircraft fire of the 13th Division was very weak, and the Devil had ground fire reconnaissance, so the Devil's pilots were not worried about the air defense of the 13th Division at all.

A few minutes later, the Devil's bomber group flew over the position south of the city.

The devil pilot lowered the flight altitude and slowly opened the bomb bay.

"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"

One after another, with a screeching sound, the bombs slowly fell to the ground.

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

The explosion was deafening, and the flames of the explosion flickered one after another, and the forward position of the 13th Division became a sea of fire......

Li Hong stood outside the headquarters and observed, his telescope vision drowning in a sea of fire.

Even though he was more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, there was still a tremor from the ground under his feet.

The scene of the 13th Division being bombed by enemy planes just now is enough to show the importance of air supremacy, because without air supremacy, it can only be pressed and beaten by the enemy, and the casualties are still very large.

Fortunately, Li Hong supported the anti-aircraft guns, and the anti-aircraft machine guns went up.

The devil's bombers threw aerial bombs back and forth, and the enemy planes bombed for a while, and soon, the air defense units of the security regiment quickly set up positions, and the air defense weapons played a role.

"Tom !!"

"Sudden !!"

Anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground, anti-aircraft guns fired in a volley.

Thousands of bullets, as well as artillery shells, weaved into a huge net of firepower, and attacked the devil bombers in the air.

The Devil's bomber group was taken by surprise, many of the planes were riddled with bullet holes, and three or four bombers were shot down by shells on the spot.

The devil pilots did not expect that the anti-aircraft fire of the 13th Division would be so powerful, and the bombers were flying at a relatively low altitude, so that the enemy had suffered a loss just now.

"Bagaya Road, damn the intelligence, there are so many anti-aircraft weapons for the Chinese troops on the ground!!"

"Be careful, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, evade, evade, evade !! quickly"

The curses of the devil pilots, the sounds of panic continued.

The air defense units of the security regiment on the ground have very rich experience in ground-to-air combat, and the devil bombers can only admit that the security regiment is unlucky.

Five or six devil bombers turned around and flew violently towards the anti-aircraft positions on the position.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

Xiong Erdan saw the enemy planes flying and loudly encouraged the artillerymen on the anti-aircraft gun position.

"Brothers, hit hard and take down the little devil plane!"

"Tuanzao has just given an order, whoever shoots a devil plane will be rewarded with 100 yuan in the ocean, and then a daughter-in-law will be rewarded!!"

As soon as the artillerymen and machine gunners of the security regiment heard that there was Dayang and his daughter-in-law, they worked harder to fight the devil plane.

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

Several Devil bombers were blown up by anti-aircraft shells before they could get close to the anti-aircraft positions.

The devil bomber exploded in the air, and the wreckage of the fuselage flew down from the sky with flames.

The remaining two or three bombers were completely smashed by anti-aircraft machine guns, black smoke rose from the fuselage, and the planes staggered and fell to the ground to bomb.

The air defense units of the security regiment once again made the devil pilots pay a heavy price, and the enemy also began to fear the anti-aircraft fire on the ground.

"Bagaya Road, I don't know how many anti-aircraft weapons are waiting for us on the ground, hurry back, hurry up and drop !!"

The remaining dozen or so devil bombers quickly withdrew from the battlefield and returned home in embarrassment.
