Chapter 355: Air Supremacy
Kang Tianfu clearly knew that after losing the artillery, Qin Feng's troops would have the absolute upper hand, and looking at the bombers that were swaying in the sky but did not fall, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The battlefield in front of him was beyond his common sense.
However, he just wanted to send troops to destroy the artillery that was still standing on the artillery position, but was stopped by Nakagawa Hiroshi beside him.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is no chance now, at least in half an hour this area will be a death zone." Nakagawa Hiro's eyes showed a deep unwillingness.
However, he knew the terrifying power of this weapon, because there were still small areas of fire burning on the artillery position.
But the amplitude of the burn is getting weaker and weaker, and at this time the area is death, because they have experienced it before.
However, just when the devil and Qin Feng's troops were shocked by this huge explosion, Wang He drove the bomber towards the devil's frontline defensive position.
Where is the place where the devils and the independent division are facing each other, Wang He knows that as long as the devil's trench defense in this area is destroyed, then it will be difficult for the devils to resist the attack of the first division.
"Yaga...... Remove! "Watching as the bombers rushed towards them, and the hatches were opened, the ghost soldiers let out a frightened cry.
They'd gone crazy after seeing the previous explosions, and they didn't want to be enveloped by that horrible explosion here.
However, Wang He didn't give them a chance, and when the plane flew above the heads of the retreating devil soldiers, bombs dropped down from the hatch, and the bombs with a sharp whistling made the devil soldiers on the ground scream in fright.
However, when the first bomb landed on the ground, there was no such terrifying explosion as before, and when these devil soldiers just breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly found that this was even more terrifying than the previous weapon.
At the same time, the troops of the 1st Division also rushed out one after another when the devils retreated, and this was the time to beat the water dogs.
However, when they saw Wang He like a falcon chasing a rabbit, they couldn't help but be stunned, because the devil actually made a move they didn't expect.
The incendiary bombs on the bombers were hurled at the retreating devils, and any devil troops who tried to put up a stubborn resistance would be hit by an incendiary bomb.
Although the weight of the incendiary bomb is not large, its fuel after the explosion is enough to cover the surrounding area of tens of meters, and even a small spark is enough to set the devil's soldiers on fire.
Under such a terrifying attack, any devil army that dared to turn around and fight would not be able to form combat effectiveness.
And although there was only one plane, there were no planes of devils in front of him, and the planes of devils did not have any anti-aircraft weapons of any kind.
Therefore, Wang He occupies absolute air supremacy, and the two 7.7 mm caliber machine guns in front of the bomber, although the damage to the aircraft is not too great, but it is simply a nightmare for the ground army.
When Wang He pulled the machine gun button on the operating stick to shoot, a large number of devil troops were beaten to death.
At the same time, the 1st Division also began to attack frantically towards the devil's troops.
Although the army's attack is not very fast, after all, where is the devil's army combat effectiveness, even if the devil is in a panic, it is impossible to break through quickly.
However, at this time, the devils had been frightened by Wang He's high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, and they couldn't even organize a strong resistance force.
In addition, due to the threat of Wang He's bomber, the devil's command and main force have been rapidly transferred, and the devil is no longer ready to continue fighting.
Because this battle had consumed a lot of their strength, they had no hope of victory after Wang He destroyed the devil's artillery.
At this time, the devil naturally would not be stupid to continue to fight with Qin Feng's troops here.
Because even in terms of artillery fire, they are weaker than Qin Feng's troops, at least Qin Feng's troops still have medium artillery such as this field artillery mountain artillery, which is also a big killer for the current devils.
However, the retreat of the devils was too hasty, mainly for fear that the bombers would block their rear roads, and also for fear of bombing their headquarters.
The devils didn't know if there were any other horror bombs on the plane, so they chose to retreat as soon as possible, but their retreat was too hasty.
Although there was no way to block the retreat of the devils, it blocked the back road of some of the devils' troops, and threw incendiary bombs in the middle of the devils' retreating troops, and at this time something happened that made everyone stunned.
After being blocked from the back road, these devil troops actually surrendered on their own initiative.
That's right, it was surrendered, and it was massive, not dozens of hundreds, but hundreds, thousands.
For the soldiers of these devils, the white flames in front of them are the demons that emerge from hell.
They did not dare to take a single step forward in the face of such flames, and the soldiers in the rear, who had been individually hit by incendiary bombs, were still burning all over their bodies.
In particular, some of the corpses whose bones began to emit white flames made the devil soldiers collapse even more.
"Quick, clean up the battlefield." Seeing the devil surrender, Li Qinwen's face showed great joy.
There were three or four thousand of these isolated devil soldiers, and if all of them were captured, it would be the largest victory since the start of the war.
In the previous battles, the troops of the security regiment rarely captured the devils, because the troops did not have absolute suppression ability in either firepower or in any aspect, so the devils would not despair, and naturally they would not surrender.
This time, it was entirely because the aircraft played an unexpected role, and the terrifying power of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs made the devil soldiers who saw this weapon for the first time lose the courage to continue fighting.
In addition, the withdrawal of most of the devil's troops also caused the devil's troops to lose their command, which led to this surrender.
The war is changing too quickly, less than an hour ago, the devils still have some advantages in terms of combat strength and firepower, and even resist their attacks while carrying out fierce attacks on the base.
However, now the situation has suddenly reversed, and the devil was defeated by a plane in such a short period of time.
Of course, if it were not for the use of incendiary and high-explosive shells, the situation of the battle would not have reversed so quickly at all.
If only aerial bombs are used, then even the devil's artillery will not be able to completely destroy it.
And Wang He did not have a second chance to land at the base to reload ammunition.
The range of the Devil's artillery is enough to cover all the positions of the base, and the reason why the Devils have not shelled the base before is entirely because they do not believe that the base has an airfield.
If you land and reload before destroying the devil's artillery, the devil who suffers from the gap will blow up the field as soon as possible.
Therefore, if they make a slight mistake before, even if they can win in the end, they will pay a huge price.
Chapter 354: Cleaning the Battlefield
The reason why they didn't throw all the incendiary bombs in the direction of the devil's retreat to block the devil's back road was entirely because the current first division of troops couldn't eat so many devil troops.
Even if it eats it, it is estimated that the first division will be scrapped, Qin Feng has never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the devil's troops, when facing a desperate situation and the devil still has a central command, if they want to completely eliminate the devil, then they will have to pay more than half of the casualties.
In Qin Feng's opinion, this was unnecessary, to be able to annihilate most of the devils who attacked the base, and to be able to give such a big kill to the devils was already huge enough.
If you are still greedy enough to keep all the devils, then it will backfire.
The troops of the 1st Division spread out to every area of the battlefield like wolves that saw their prey of flesh and blood.
All the troops of the 1st Division of the Battlefield Sweep were familiar with it, because almost all the troops had been sent out individually.
Their previous combat mission was to attack small groups of devil troops in the devil-controlled area, as well as numerous puppet troops and transport convoys, so this was a kind of training they had to carry out to clean up the battlefield in a short time.
They did not have much time to fight behind enemy lines, they had to retreat immediately after destroying the enemy.
At the moment when the devil's artillery position was destroyed, the 1st Division took advantage of the devil's momentary distraction to quickly move forward, and it seemed that the troops of the 1st Division absolutely believed that the devil would collapse because of the air attack.
For the first division, the support base was the most important, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice all the troops because of it.
They had no idea that bombs dropped by bombers could be so terrifying.
They hadn't seen either the terrifying high-explosive bombs or the weird incendiary bombs with blazing white flames, they were just in a desperate state of mind.
The devils began to attack the base, and the devils invested more than 50,000 troops here, killed at least more than 25,000 people, and surrendered more than 4,000 people, which means that the devil's troops lost nearly half.
Coupled with the hasty retreat of the devil troops, a lot of weapons have been abandoned on the battlefield, such a huge gain is simply eye-catching.
Yasuda and Nakagawa Hiroshi retreated quickly under the protection of their troops, retreating southeast with the remnants of their troops.
It was only after discovering that Qin Feng's troops did not pursue it that they breathed a sigh of relief, one of the most brutal battles they had ever experienced in this battle.
The total strength of both sides in the battle was nearly 100,000, and it was already a battle-level battle.
The battle between the two sides was also very tragic, and it can be said that it was one of the most tragic places after the devil's troops entered China, except for the Songhu battlefield.
From the beginning to the end, the Devil's troops, plus the perimeter losses, suffered close to 30,000 casualties, which was an unimaginably huge defeat.
"Baga, I have to contact the base camp immediately after I go back, this army of the people of China will definitely not be able to let him continue to grow." Kang Tianfu's face was hideous.
"If this army continues to grow, it will be a nightmare for our Great Japanese Empire, and Qin Feng of that branch is actually able to create so many terrifying bombs, which is not allowed for our Imperial Japanese Army."
Kang Tianfu's face was filled with the horror of the rest of his life, and the terrifying explosion still lingered in his mind.
All the devil officers couldn't help but nodded, these devil officers had not conducted high-intensity battles since they joined the army, and the previous battles had been smooth, making them often very contemptuous of Qin Feng's troops.
However, this battle completely subverted their understanding of the Chinese troops, not to mention those terrifying weapons, the defenders of the base alone made them tremble in their hearts.
And the first division that came to support them was even more inseparable from them on the frontal battlefield, and even its combat effectiveness was even higher.
All of this made the devil's soldiers have a trace of fear of Qin Feng's troops.
However, they didn't know that when Qin Feng came to the front-line trenches, the scene in the trenches made his eyes redden.
Of the 3,500 combat soldiers, less than half are now left.
Most of them were killed after the arrival of the devil's artillery.
In addition, the number of people who died in the battle with the devils on this very land reached 15,600 people.
When Li Qinwen came to the trenches of the base, he was also shocked by the cruel battlefield in front of him, and there were dense artillery pits everywhere, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides of the enemy were everywhere.
All kinds of weapons were scattered everywhere like garbage, and only the surviving soldiers stood straight on the ruin-like battlefield with gauze tied to them.
"Salute!" Li Qinwen and the others had red eyes, and the officers of the first division behind them couldn't help but salute the military salute.
"Long live the Chinese nation...... Long live Qin Feng......"
"Long live the Chinese nation......
The shouts of the mountains and tsunamis resounded on the battlefield, and the final victory belonged to these soldiers who fought desperately for the nation and the country.
However, after the battlefield was cleared, the post-war affair began to be discussed.
In the command headquarters of the base, all officers above the regimental level sat in their seats.
In the entire small conference room, a huge map was on the wall behind him, which was the battle map left by the devil before.
Li Qinwen was in charge of counting the seized materials and was now taking the list to report to Qin Feng.
"Sir, we've got our list of battles ready." Li Qinwen was very respectful in front of Qin Feng.
Li Qinwen saw Qin Feng nodding and continued: "Although our army has suffered a lot of casualties, the casualties of the devils are even greater. ”
He took out a piece of paper again and said aloud: "According to statistics, our side has killed and captured 29,700 Japanese soldiers. ”
Suck...... There was a gasp of air, especially the officers of the first division.
"At the same time, a large number of weapons and materials were seized, of which twelve were heavy artillery, four were completely destroyed and unusable, and the other eight were repaired and ready for battle." Li Qinwen's eyes showed a glimmer of light.
But the surprises weren't over yet.
Li Qinwen continued: "At the same time, we captured a total of 313 Japanese trucks, of which 200 were completely destroyed, as well as a large number of light and heavy weapons. ”
"Report to the chief, our side has captured a total of 23,000 Japanese Type 38 rifles on the battlefield, of which 6,000 are damaged and 17,000 can be used." The number of rifles was huge, which made everyone smile.
However, these officers are not interested in the devil's rifle, although the devil's 38 big cover is better than the official rifle, but now that Qin Feng is equipped with AK-47, of course he can't look down on the 38 big cover.
Soon, Li Qinwen changed a piece of paper again and continued: "In addition to rifles, our side also captured 960 light machine guns, 300 were damaged in the battle, and 660 can be used. ”
Call! The commanders instantly became excited, and this was exactly what they needed most.
Of course, one by one they held back their joy, for they wanted to hear the weapons behind.
Sure enough, after the light machine gun, Li Qinwen continued: "In addition to the light machine gun, our side also captured 180 heavy machine guns abandoned by the Japanese army and destroyed in the future, as for the massive amount of ammunition. ”
Crash...... The officers couldn't sit still, but they had their share of the weapons.
But another report by Li Qinwen shocked them even more.
