There were two devil planes left in the sky, and the pilots did not see the specific location of the ground air defense positions because of the thick smoke.

The first plane to attack suddenly rose into billowing smoke and exploded on the ground, and the two pilots immediately decided to retaliate.

Rush into the smoke from different directions, ready to cover each other and take out the ground air defense forces.

But they once again underestimated the strength of the new regiment.

Seeing that the remaining two planes in the sky rushed down together, the air defense battalion commander He Pengyu finally had no scruples.

"The first company, the second company and one platoon will deal with the devil planes in the south, and the other troops will deal with the devil planes in the north, and they will choose the opportunity to fire and kill the two devil planes in the sky for me!"

"Da Da Da ......"

Twenty-seven anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the same time, and the dense bullets instantly formed an impenetrable barrage in front of the two planes.

The speed of the plane was very fast, but the flight altitude was too low, and the moment it rushed through the barrage, both planes were hit by a dozen bullets.

Black smoke rose from the wing of one of the planes on the spot.

The other plane looked intact on the surface, but the fuselage was also covered with more than a dozen bullet holes, one of which was directly in the cockpit of the plane, which scared the devil pilot into a cold sweat!

The arrogant two pilots panicked and immediately maneuvered the plane to begin to climb, dodging a dense stream of bullets from the ground and preparing to flee for their lives.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded over the battlefield.

The plane, which appeared to be intact on the surface, suddenly exploded, and then turned into a fireball that quickly smashed into the ground, and the pilot did not even have a chance to parachute out.

The pilot, with black smoke from the wings, was lucky enough to climb beyond the effective range of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and then, regardless of the reaction of the ground forces, began to return with black smoke.

The air raid, which was pinned on by the devils, lasted less than five minutes from start to finish.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Kato, was dumbfounded, and before he could react from the shock, two planes were finished, and one plane was damaged and returned home.

"Bage Yalu, how can this be, how can the Eighth Route Army have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower!" Lieutenant General Kato instantly turned into an angry lion and roared loudly.

"None of their government forces have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower, where did the Eighth Route Army come from!"

The chief of staff was also suppressed by the air strike.

In my heart, I have a new understanding of the strength of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and I also have a very bad premonition about the siege battle that is going on in front of me!

After a moment's hesitation, he replied: "I don't know if I am humble!" ”

"What the lowly post is most worried about now is: the three planes that the aviation supports us, two crashed on the spot, and one was damaged and retreated~ In the next battle, the aviation may refuse to continue to send planes to provide us with reinforcements!"

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, how dare he?" Lieutenant General Kato scolded.

"Contact the Aviation Command immediately, I need more aircraft reinforcements here!"

"Contact the headquarters of the front army, after investigation: the main forces of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army are all assembled in Linfen City, preparing for a decisive battle with our department in Linfen City. I, Kato's division, are confident that we will encircle and annihilate them in Linfen City, but we need more aircraft reinforcements to raze Linfen City to the ground! ”

"One more sentence: If the humble post can't take Linfen City before dark, with the strong night combat ability of the Eighth Route Army, at most, the establishment of the Kato Division will be wiped out from the establishment of the Imperial Japanese Army, please ask Your Excellency the Commander to urge the Air Force Command to send at least nine planes to reinforce us!"

The chief of staff stared at Kato with a dumbfounded expression, and he was frightened by what the division commander had just said.

Lying and exaggerating the enemy's situation aside, the next few sentences were completely threatening to the commander.

After hesitating for a moment, he reminded: "Division commander, the main force of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is not all in Linfen City, so sending a telegram is a lie about the military situation!" ”

"And the last sentence you added, should the tone be a little more tactful!"

Kato shook his head and replied: "No~ What I just said, you can send a telegram!" ”

"If I hadn't made things more serious, Your Excellency Commander wouldn't have paid attention to this!"

"The new regiment has inflicted huge losses on the front army again and again, and I believe that the commander will not let go of this opportunity to gather and annihilate them!"

"Only in this way can we get the full support of the front army and take Linfen City!"

"Otherwise, our Kato Division will really be completely wiped out from the establishment of the Imperial Japanese Army by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the last sentence I said is the truth, without any exaggeration!"

In Linfen City, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong was also in a very bad mood.

Although the devil's plane was driven away, two were shot down on the spot, one was wounded and ran away, and the air defense battalion won the first battle.

However, the devil's artillery fire was too fierce.

Mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, more than a hundred, shells fired at the head of the city like no money.

Xiong Changhe initially arranged a battalion at the head of the city, and after being caught off guard by artillery bombardment, before he could retreat, the rain-like shells exploded in the middle of the troops.

In the end, one battalion withdrew only one company, and the losses exceeded sixty percent.

If it weren't for the fact that the city wall was hollowed out by the Japanese and more than 20 machine-gun bunkers were built, and the troops relied on the machine-gun bunkers to defend it, the Japanese army would have rushed to the city!

"Chief of Staff, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, the position at the head of the city can't be defended at all, and people will be killed by shells as soon as they go up!" Xiong Changhe, who was heartbroken by two infantry companies, complained loudly.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Zhong Chenggong gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The order given to us by the regiment commander is not to let the devils enter the city one by one, we have more than 5,000 people, we must complete the task!"

After being with Wang Ping for so long, Zhong Chenggong has also learned a lot subtly.

After hesitating for a long time, he analyzed: "Think about it, what advantage do we have over the little devils who are attacking outside the city!" ”

"Only by giving full play to our own advantages and using our advantages to fight the weaknesses of the devil, can we have a chance to win against the little devil!"

"Now the biggest threat to us from the devil is the artillery, and we must find a way to kill the advantage of the little devil!"

Xiong Changhe replied angrily: "The only way is to counterattack with artillery!" ”

"But there are devil planes in the sky, they don't go, and now to send out artillery is to send them to death!"

Zhong Chenggong ignored Xiong Changhe's complaints, and soon, his frowning brows relaxed, and his eyes lit up and he replied.

"There's a way!"

"We are fighting close combat with the little devil, the two armies are thirty or forty meters apart, or even twenty or thirty meters, I don't believe that the artillery behind the little devil still dares to open fire!"

"If they really dare to open fire, it's a big deal to lose a life!"
