Chapter 473: The Disaster of Innocence
In order to stop the Japanese charge, the artillery of the new 1st and 2nd regiments was now concentrated and used together.
And in order to slow down the speed of the Japanese attack, Ding Wei laid a large number of mines on the first line of defense.
However, after many attacks by the Japanese army, the mines in the front of the position have long been trampled by the Japanese army.
The biggest headache for Ding Wei and Kong Jie was the Japanese plane overhead.
The bombing by Japanese planes never stopped.
One wave after another, one wave after another, really gave Ding Wei a headache.
Dozens of planes flying overhead, this kind of feeling, really uncomfortable.
Many of his troops and soldiers were killed by the devil's plane.
What's more, I sacrificed before I killed a few devils, which is really embarrassing.
Up to now, his new regiment and Kong Jie's new second regiment have suffered relatively large casualties.
Although they were on the defensive, their firepower was not much weaker than that of the Japanese.
But the overhead planes caused a lot of casualties among the troops.
Ding Wei asked the command for instructions on whether he could send planes to provide support.
As long as the Japanese planes are killed, then this sacred pond will definitely be able to hold it.
The command that received Ding Wei's news attached great importance to this issue.
Indeed, if the fight continues like this, the casualties of the troops in Shenchi and Yanmen Pass will become more and more large.
That's not what they want to see.
This was the first time they had fought against a fully organized unit of the Japanese army, and they had to fight it well.
The headquarters immediately sent a telegram to Li Lei to ask for Li Lei's opinion.
The meaning of the command was to transfer 100 planes from Wang Han's flying group to attack the Japanese planes at Shenchi and Yanmen Pass.
Just take out the Japanese planes.
Then the troops in these two places will have the confidence to block the Japanese attack.
Li Lei, who received the news, thought for a moment.
Think it's doable.
He immediately called back to the command and agreed with the command's decision, but Li Lei suggested that in order to reduce the losses of the planes of the flying group, he suggested that the 100 planes go directly to attack the Japanese airfield in Taiyuan.
As long as they blow up their airfield, the Japanese planes without ammunition will be an iron shell.
Moreover, the bombing of Japanese airfields can avoid air battles with Japanese planes as much as possible, thereby reducing the losses of their own flights.
After all, the plane is gone, and now there is no place to replenish it.
One loss is one less.
The command quickly agreed to Li Lei's suggestion.
Therefore, Li Lei ordered Wang Han to transfer 50 planes from the flying group to sneak attack the Japanese airfield in Taiyuan while the Japanese army was at Shenchi and Yanmen Pass.
Blow up their arsenals and runways.
Then quickly return.
Wang Han, who received the order, personally led the team, dispatched 50 planes, and flew buzzing towards the Japanese military airfield in Taiyuan.
Just when Wang Han's plane went to bomb the Japanese army's Taiyuan airport, Li Da's battalion finally waited for the Japanese army's Honma brigade.
Because the lesson of the Japanese Fifth Division was in front of him, the commander of the Honma Brigade, Shuichi Honma, ordered his troops to get off the train halfway and advance on foot.
The troops of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army were sitting on the train, but they were not lightly bombed by the opponent's planes and howitzers.
Heavy casualties.
Just in case, Shuichi Honma ordered his brigade to go on foot instead.
In this way, even if the opponent's planes come to bomb, at least his troops have a place to run.
It's better than waiting to die on a train.
Burned alive......
Honma Shu felt pain when he thought about it.
If I really have to die, I still want to die peacefully.
For example, if you are killed by a single shot, it shouldn't hurt very much.
Or get a headshot by the other side.
The doctor said that if a headshot is shot, the person will immediately lose consciousness, and before he can feel the pain, the person will die.
It's also a good way to die.
He was thinking about it when suddenly a loud cannon sound interrupted his thoughts.
Where to shoot?
Shuichi Honma rode on his horse and looked up in surprise.
A shell landed in the middle of his unit, causing a violent explosion.
The power of the cannonball was so great that many people were blown away, and the dirt that was splashed up could be more than ten meters high.
The bomb did not end immediately after the explosion, but a large fireball came out.
The raging flames enveloped the people around them like ocean waves.
More than a dozen of the surrounding devil soldiers were on fire, scurrying back and forth in pain.
Because it hurt too much, a devil reflexively grabbed a stunned devil next to him.
What a calamity!
The devil who was hugged was stunned.
Why are you pulling me to death!?
Fortunately, the devil next to him was ruthless, and he directly held the bayonet on the gun and stabbed it.
Poof!
directly pierced the two devils who were on fire.
The devil watched in surprise as his stomach was pierced, and his heart felt a chill, and the creature of grass and mud horses roared unconsciously past.
Do you want to be so ruthless?
Obviously, you just have to pull me.
Shuichi Honma reacted quickly: "Hide immediately!" The troops are scattered!! ”
They're in an ambush!
Shuichi Honma has a very good brain.
The ears are also sensitive.
With just one shot, he sensed that something was wrong. It's too dangerous to shoot in this place.
As soon as Shuichi Honma's words were finished, his brigade chief of staff didn't bother to convey the order, and more shells came over.
On the left and right sides of the Honma Brigade and directly in front of it, a large number of gray tracks appeared.
In the front of each gray trajectory, there is a huge warhead.
These gray tracks intersect each other, very thick, obscuring the sky and the sun, and look like an incomparably huge fishing net, which is very spectacular.
Because of its high speed, the shells make a sharp whistling sound that makes the scalp tingle when rubbed against the air.
The sound is like this.
Meat!!!!
Meat!!!!
Meat!!!!!
Because of the overlap of voices, it sounds more permeable.
Li Da himself held a telescope and prepared to let the artillerymen adjust the angle of the muzzle at any time while observing.
Rumble!!!
Rumble!!!!!
Howitzers took the lead, other infantry guns followed, as well as mortars and tanks, firing together.
A large number of shells fell in the ranks of the Japanese troops, and there was a violent explosion.
The unsuspecting devils were blown up in all directions.
The entire Japanese army unit was in flames.
In order to achieve the maximum effect of the artillery bombardment, Li Da was able to directly put the troops out of the way, and arranged artillery on both sides and front.
In this case, the shelling will form a cross, and there will be no dead ends.
Unless the Japanese retreat, no matter where the Japanese run, they will be covered by artillery fire.
This is a typical style of fighting with three missing one, and it is the essence of fighting that Li Da learned from the Three Kingdoms, and it is very effective.
Watching the Japanese marching team turn over on their backs, Li Da had the ability to hey and be happy.
That's what you want.
"Tell the troops, listen to my orders before attacking. Let the artillery have a good time first.
This is the first battle we are fighting after the regiment commander returns, and we must fight it well. I have to let the regiment commander see that our battalion is still the main force of our temporary regiment. ”
Sweet potato is now the deputy battalion commander, and in this battalion, he has basically followed Li Da's ability the longest.
Originally, the deputy battalion commander was going to let the magnet be the magnet, but when the regiment commander came to him about it, this guy didn't agree.
It's quite reasonable, he is good at killing devils in battle, and he really can't command the troops.
The magnet knocked his iron skull on the clatter, saying that he had a bad brain and could not command.
In the end, Li Lei thought about it, and then let Sweet Potato be the deputy battalion commander.
Don't look at the sweet potatoes thin, but the brain is good.
and Li Da's ability complement each other, and the effect is quite good.
The current sweet potatoes are a big change compared to the original.
Although he is still very thin, he is very energetic, and he is familiar with the way when he commands the troops.
When fighting, he can always put forward some good suggestions for Li Da's plan.
If you hone it again, you will be a qualified military commander.
The Honma Brigade is now in chaos, and it can't see where the opponent is.
Only the rumbling of cannon and the sound of explosions in their ranks could be heard.
Shuichi Honma's war horse was frightened and directly knocked him down and then to the ground.
If it weren't for Shuichi Honma's flexible body, he would have been trampled to death by his own war horse.
An enraged Honma got up from the ground, then pulled out the pistol in his waist and was about to shoot the warhorse.
Card.
Well?
Shuri Honma looked at his pistol.
It's stuck!
When this man was unlucky, he really drank cold water and stuffed his teeth.
Shuichi Honma pulled the trigger twice, but the gun in his hand still didn't respond.
Except that the stuck shell is the stuck shell.
Yaga!
Angry Honma Shu threw the gun to the ground one by one, what kind of garbage pistol is this!?
Can you rubbish it a little more?
Suicide is so bad!
The gun was thrown to the ground by Shuichi Honma, and then the pistol finally went off.
The bullet hit a devil next to him.
The devil who was hit fell to the ground in incredible pain, clutching his lower body and wailing.
It hurts!!
Lost offspring!!
Shuichi Honma looked at the unlucky devil strangely, and then at his pistol, and was a little stunned for a moment.
It all hits??
Shuichi Honma picked up his pistol from the ground and put it back into the holster at his waist.
"Order the troops, retreat immediately!" Shuichi Honma was smart, and as soon as he saw that something was wrong, he immediately let the troops retreat.
Wait until you have figured out the situation first.
Now let the troops rush forward, that is to seek death.
But there were explosions everywhere, and Shuichi Honma's order couldn't be conveyed to the bottom at all.
Once his orders reached the wing, it was difficult to convey them any further.
The two infantry wings under the Honma brigade, an artillery brigade, a baggage brigade, and an engineer squadron, have now been bombed and scattered, and they cannot be assembled at all.
Even the commander of the Japanese army could not see where his troops were.
There was no way, Shuichi Honma could only order, and the command headquarters retreated first.
For the rest of the troops, let the heralds inform them one by one.
In order to improve efficiency, Shuichi Honma sent out a squad of heralds.
Whenever you see the troops, let them retreat.
