Take a day off today,
The devil is not afraid of this kind of battle, on the contrary, he prefers this, like the previous three consecutive battles, no one wants to encounter a situation where he can't even see what the opponent looks like.
Soon the devil's mortars and grenadiers began to bombard the forward positions, and then dozens of light and heavy machine guns were set up and began to suppress fire.
But the weapons of the Eight Roads and the bandits this time were basically the same as the devils, so the two sides set up a position in this open field and began to fight fiercely.
This time it can be described as a hard-fought battle, the ground is very fierce, and the air is also lively.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao, who came to support, flew over first, and when they were about to carry out an air attack on the devil, twelve fighters from the third flight group of the devil also flew over.
So Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao, in order to cover their own positions on the ground and their two bombers, they gave up the air attack on the devils on the ground and changed to attack the devils' fighters.
The fighting on the ground was very fierce, because the weapons and equipment of the two sides were the same, and the only difference was the quality of the individual soldiers on both sides.
It was definitely the Eighth Route Army and the bandits who suffered more than this, but fortunately, they built some fortifications in advance, which made up for the shortcomings in this regard.
Sikong Nian has always paid close attention to the battle situation here, and Hu Tian and a few soldiers of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade are responsible for reporting the battle situation to her at any time.
When he heard that his fighter plane and the devil's fighter plane were fighting in the sky, Sikong Nian asked Hu Tian to tell Tong Xi that when his plane left, it was the time when the army retreated.
and told Tong Xi to leave Wei Meng with the Second Independent Regiment to drag back and cover, chaos must be chaotic, but it can't be too chaotic, after all, the Eighth Route Army also belongs to the regular army, and it should have some appearance, so as not to make the devil suspicious.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao are both long planes, and their apprentices Lin Dong and Cai Youliang fly devil fighters as wingmen to cooperate.
Because during this period, the Third Flying Brigade of the Devils in North China did not have Zero fighters, and their fighters were the same as those that Feng Kai and the others snatched, so the air battle depends on whose skills are better.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao are both modern special-level pilots, in the words of the Anti-Japanese War, they are both ace pilots, so the twelve devil fighters and Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao were killed twice in one round.
In addition, Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao are very smart and know that sooner or later they will encounter the devil fighter, so they did not make any changes to the snatched fighter, and completely maintained the original appearance of the devil fighter, even if it was the plaster flag.
The only difference with the devil fighter is that there are two strips of red cloth tied under the wings on both sides of the fighter, but the devil does not have it.
But the devil pilots didn't know, so looking at the surrounding planes, they couldn't tell which one was their own and which one was the enemy's.
The devil didn't have a bomber this time, so his two bombers became the target of all the devil's fighters.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao had three flying teams, the long plane and wingman were a team, and the three teams all protected the bombers.
Feng Kai and the others grabbed the Devil 97 light bomber, this kind of bomber has two machine guns in front and behind, and the pilot is also bombing the devils on the ground while counterattacking the devil fighters in the air.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao showed all the technical moves they could, they were not showing, but operating to the limit to protect the bomber.
One after another Devil fighters were hit, but because all the Devil fighters were aimed at the bombers, the last two bombers were unfortunately shot.
There were two pilots on each of the two light Type 97 crit planes, two of which were selected by Qi Rui from the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Group, and when the plane was shot, they resolutely controlled the bombers to dive to the devil's position on the ground.
With two violent explosions in succession, the two fighters and the four heroes turned into two small mushroom clouds, Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao were the fighters who continued to shoot devils with tears in their eyes.
Ten of the twelve Devil fighters have been shot down by them, and the last two Devil fighters are not opponents who fled last.
Feng Kai and Pei Yuanhao did not chase the devil fighter, but swooped into the devil's position and left with all the remaining bullets.
Tong Xi saw that in this situation, he opened all his firepower and fought fiercely, and then the whole army retreated, because the goal he wanted to achieve had been achieved, and now the casualties were not small.
Tong Xi ordered a retreat, and this time only the wounded were allowed to be taken away, and no corpses were allowed to be taken away.
Wei Meng took the Second Independent Regiment to cover behind, and Xue Nancheng and Feng Sanye evacuated first with the bandits.
"Commander of the Reporting Division! The Eight Roads have retreated! ”
"Retreat! Pursue it now! Fast! "Mamoru Iinuma didn't want to give up this opportunity, let alone run away with a duck in his mouth.
"General Iinuma! There is an old Chinese saying that the poor do not chase! These eight-way bandits are very cunning, and I'm afraid that there will be an ambush ahead! A staff officer advised,
"This is all the eight-way and bandit armies in the mountains! Judging from the way they evacuated, they were panicked, it should be that their bombers were shot down and lost air support, and our firepower was fiercer than theirs, so they retreated! This is our only chance to wipe them out! Why not chase? Mamoru Iinuma asked,
"But we are not familiar with this mountain at all, and we didn't bring the Imperial Association Army this time! If we continue to catch up, we will most likely be ambushed! ”
"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to chase it! Otherwise, what if they find a good place to ambush us! They must never be allowed to prepare and breathe! Pursue! Mamoru Iinuma ordered the entire army to pursue.
Mamoru Iinuma was the commander of the lieutenant general's division, so he was the supreme commander in the army, and Tanabe Moritake was also a lieutenant general, but no one listened to him anymore, just because he lost one and a half wings because of his previous two commands.
Now Mamoru Iinuma's order is also the order of Commander Okamura Ninji, so the devil army can only follow his orders to continue the pursuit.
Wei Meng took the independent second regiment to fight and retreat, and in this way brought the devil's army to the fourth combat site, where Sikong Nian still had to fight with the devil, because there were four regiments of the Eighth Route Army in ambush behind the mountains on both sides.
The terrain on this side is like a dry river, with a concave middle of the two sides, but it is not a canyon, Qi Rui said to Sikong Nian before that such a terrain is very suitable for pincer attack operations, that is, flank operations on both sides.
Sikong Nian set this place as the fourth combat location, and when she saw Wei Meng returning with his independent second regiment, she first asked about the casualties.
This time, the casualties were somewhat large, not only four pilots were sacrificed, but also about 700 bandits and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were killed and wounded.
"Eternal life for martyrs! We must kill more devils to avenge our fallen comrades! ”
