"Buzz...... Woowoo woo ......"

With the roar of the huge engine, two aerial bombs quickly restrained the plane and smashed towards Linfen City with a scream!

"Boom ......"

Two violent explosions sounded in Linfen City.

Two bombs, one on the city wall and one inside the city.

In the huge fireball that rose into the air, thick smoke billowed out, and a huge gap was directly blown out.

Kato's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Order the air force, just up according to that gap and expand the gap." ”

"Chief of Staff, draw out an attacking unit with a full reinforced brigade, and as soon as the bombardment is over, launch a surprise attack from the gap under the cover of artillery. This time, be sure to rush in through the gap for me! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff also had a very excited smile on his face.

"Buzz ......"

Another plane rushed towards the breach.

Lieutenant General Kato hurriedly raised his binoculars, his eyes closely following the planes in the sky, he wanted to see with his own eyes the gap in the city wall being widened, and then seize the opportunity to order the troops to attack, for fear of missing a link.

"Dada~"

When the plane was about to drop a bomb, the last thing Kato wanted to see happened.

Seven or eight tongues of fire suddenly appeared in Linfen City behind the gap in the city wall.

"Bage Yalu, it's an anti-aircraft machine gun, why does the Eighth Route Army still have so many anti-aircraft machine guns, aren't they all blown up?" A flash of disbelief flashed across Kato's face and he shouted loudly.

Half an hour ago, after the planes sent by the aviation arrived at the battlefield, the first thing they did was to bomb the air defense positions exposed by the Eighth Route Army just now!

Three planes were destroyed, one was wounded, and at such a large cost it was difficult to blow up several air defense positions into a sea of fire.

The planes that arrived later began to bomb the fortifications to cover the siege of the ground forces.

The losses of the air defense battalion were great, but the battalion commander He Pengyu had a habit of leaving a little fire for the troops in order to prevent accidents, and not to put all his eggs in the same basket at any time.

After the first round of Japanese bombardment ended with a defeat, all the air defense units scattered on the walls were transferred to new positions!

Although the second round of Japanese strikes specifically aimed at the air defense battalion caused them heavy losses, in the end, several positions were still left because He Pengyu forbade exposing the target.

These retained air defense units are not only the spark for their own future rebuilding of the air defense battalion, but also the killer weapon to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese aircraft at a critical moment!

Seeing that the devil plane in the sky was becoming more and more arrogant, in order to accurately drop the bomb into the gap, it flew almost close to the ground, at an altitude of less than 100 meters, and the flight speed was also very slow.

He Pengyu decided to seize the opportunity and take out the plane......

The plane was too close to the ground, and more than half of the bullets fired by the nine anti-aircraft machine guns hit the plane.

In the blink of an eye, smoke billowed from the plane.

Despite the fact that the pilots in the sky could not hear anything, Lieutenant General Kato still held up the telescope and cried out with a heartache on his face.

"Yaga! What are you still doing? Hurry up and retreat? ”

"Boom ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion came, and the silver-white plane in the telescope directly turned into an orange-red fireball and smashed to the ground.

The plane exploded, and the anti-aircraft fire from inside the city was gone.

Lieutenant General Kato could imagine that the air defense units of the Eighth Route Army in the city must have shifted positions.

"The artillery immediately opened fire, found the empty position of the Eighth Route Army, and destroyed them!" Lieutenant General Kato, who was holding back his anger, ordered loudly.

"Aviation continues to bomb, widen the gap, cover the offensive of ground forces!"

Another plane was blown up on the spot, and in addition to the previous one, the aviation force has already lost six planes in Linfen City today.

The strength of the Japanese air force in North China was not very strong, and the destruction of each plane could make the air force commander feel heartache for a long time. Especially when many planes were destroyed, the pilot was blown up together before he could escape, and he was even more heartbroken.

Commander Okamura Ninji asked the aviation to go all out to reinforce the Kato Division, and he did not dare to disobey it, but in order to reduce the losses of the aviation troops, he resolutely issued a secret order to all pilots.

"Try to avoid low-altitude bombing and reduce the losses of aviation.

No one knew if there was still anti-aircraft fire in the city, and the pilots of the remaining little devils on the battlefield immediately became cautious after receiving the secret order.

Seeing the air force timidly bombing the gap, Lieutenant General Kato knew that they were scared.

If those pilots were his subordinates, Kato would have the idea of killing them. However, those people were not their subordinates.

More importantly, he asked for reinforcements by aircraft, and the aviation command did not hesitate to send them. As for how to fight specifically, the aviation unit has its own way of fighting, and as a commander of an army division, he has no reason to make irresponsible remarks.

Although he held back his anger and wanted to scold, he finally swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.

His brows furrowed, and he ordered with a murderous expression.

"The aviation can't pass the test, didn't the remaining artillery of the field artillery wing also come over, concentrate all the artillery to shell the gap in the city wall!"

"Chief of Staff, send another brigade to reinforce the offensive forces. Tell the two captains that even if the attacking troops are wiped out, they will kill me in the city. ”

"Finally, draw an infantry wing ready to attack at any time!"

"As long as the assault team occupies the gap in the city wall, this wing will immediately rush over and enter Linfen City!"

"It's getting dark, this is our only chance to enter Linfen City!"

"Also, an infantry brigade of the Jin Sui Army in the rear of the palace has also been transferred over and will join the battle at any time~ Since the Jin Sui army has retreated, there is no need for the queen of the palace."

"Our goal now is one, to concentrate all our troops and firepower and take Linfen City!"

The former enemy headquarters of the new regiment outside Linfen City had a very solemn atmosphere.

Wang Ping, the head of the regiment, stood at the lookout, holding a telescope, condescendingly staring at Linfen City, which was under heavy artillery fire a few kilometers away, with a solemn face.

The devil's offensive was too fierce, and in more than two hours, at least 20 sorties were directly sent to Linfen City.

Each plane carried six bombs, and excluding the destroyed planes, Linfen City had already been blown up by nearly 100 bombs.

Coupled with the thousands of shells of various calibers fired continuously by the devil's artillery at Linfen City, Wang Ping was sure that the casualties of the six battalions in Linfen City must have been very large.

"Regiment commander, do you want me to send a telegram to the chief of staff to ask about the situation!" Li Wen saw Wang Ping's concern and reminded with a frown.

"No, you can't clean them up!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.

After glancing at the watch on his wrist, he said: "There is still an hour before it will be dark, and the devil's plane will return in half an hour at most." Our troops were ordered to start operating according to the original combat plan. After the retreat of the Japanese aircraft, all the troops must be in full motion, especially the artillery! ”

"There is also Hong Ruijun, although the Jin Sui army has retreated, no one dares to guarantee that they will come back to pick up the bargain, and they will enter Linfen City with their hands and then not leave."

"Order Hong Ruijun to immediately establish a blocking position in the same place. Before dawn tomorrow, not a single Jin Sui army can be put into the battlefield! ”

"If the Jin Suijun wants to break through and directly fire a warning, the advantage of our new regiment is not so easy to take advantage of!"

"I believe that Chief Yan has not yet ordered the troops to shoot directly, destroy the united front, and kill the courage of our Eighth Route Army!"

"Didn't I bring a lot of government uniforms, send them to Hong Ruijun, and all the officers will change into government uniforms!"
