The importance of Jiaoxian to the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army was very clear to Fumijiro Horiuchi, so he didn't think that the people of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army would flee without a fight, and it would be more reasonable to hide and ambush. ←，

It was based on this judgment that Fumijiro Horiuchi really relaxed when he judged from the sound of gunfire that the ambushed Yimeng Autonomous Coalition army did not have many troops.

"Order, Tanaka's brigade immediately rush to the western suburbs of Jiaoxian County, capture the airport of the Chinese people, and destroy any planes that try to take off!" Fumijiro Horiuchi ordered, he had long hated the flying brigade that blew him up along the way, and after confirming that there was no county town and there was not much trouble, he naturally sent troops to the airport as soon as possible.

"Hey!"

Immediately, there was a call to answer the order, and then turned around and walked away quickly to convey the order.

The Tanaka Brigade numbered as many as 1,000 people, and the fact that so many troops were dispatched to the airport at one time shows that Fumijiro Horiuchi attached great importance to the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade.

Also, all kinds of advanced planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group are coveted by the Japanese army, and the significance of capturing the airport is not only to cut off the arms of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, if a group of planes can be captured, it will definitely make the Japanese Air Force take a big leap forward.

Let's put it this way, as long as the planes at the Jiaoxian airfield can be captured, even if the entire Horichi detachment is wiped out, it is worth it.

Now the only thing Fumijiro Horiuchi is looking forward to is that the planes of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance have not yet had time to evacuate the Jiaoxian airport.

After Tanaka's brigade left the main force and rushed to the airport in Jiaoxian, Fumijiro Horiuchi ordered again: "Order, all departments immediately march into Jiaoxian and sweep away all the people who are trying to resist in vain!" ”

At this time, the Horiuchi detachment could use four infantry brigades and an artillery brigade of almost 5,000 people, which may not sound like a lot, but as far as the eye can see, it is also a large area of black pressure all over the mountains.

Zhang Wei looked at the dense "target" outside the city, and couldn't help but ask Wang Mo: "Commander, do you want the artillery regiment to open fire?" ”

Wang Mo has always paid attention to the output of firepower, and even when he returned to Jiaoxian County this time, he did not forget to bring a battalion of veteran artillery and two battalions of trainee artillerymen to form a temporary artillery regiment in Jiaoxian.

Trainee artillery is unique to Wang Mo's troops. Since he established the first artillery unit in the Sichuan Army, his troops have always adhered to the tradition of training technical arms in actual combat, that is, letting veteran artillerymen train trainee artillerymen in the way of apprentices.

Not only artillery, but also other technical arms and even officers at all levels have such a training mechanism. In actual combat training, those who do not adapt or make major mistakes are eliminated, and those who perform well are sent to military academies for further study after the war.

It is precisely because of such a set of personnel training mechanisms that the troops under Wang Mo will continue to produce outstanding technical arms and officers at all levels, and this is also an important reason why he can form combat effectiveness in a very short period of time when he forms a new army.

Wang Mo looked at the dense Japanese troops outside the city. Resisting the temptation of ordering the artillery regiment to open artillery, he said: "We can't fire the artillery yet, if we scare the Japanese away, it will take a lot of time to pursue again, which will delay our operation to return to the Jimo battlefield." ”

Yes, Li Jian's side still doesn't know how much pressure it is under, if it drags on here for a long time, the casualties of the first division will be greater, and the possibility of the rout of the Jimo battlefield will be greater.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei no longer insisted that the artillery regiment open fire now.

The Japanese troops in the black pressure were getting closer and closer. Just as the main force of the Horinai detachment approached the gate of Jiaoxian County, the gate that was originally open suddenly closed with a "snap".

Seeing the suddenly closed gate of Jiaoxian County, Fumijiro Horiuchi chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at the city wall.

Sure enough, many soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army came out one after another.

Bang bang

Dada-da

Rifles and machine guns opened fire in unison, and the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition troops on the city wall continued to shoot, and the dense bullets were sprayed at the Japanese soldiers.

Poof

The dull sound of bullets burrowing into the human body sounded one after another, and the Japanese soldiers in the front row fell to the ground one after another, and the unlucky ones who were swept by the machine guns were beaten into a sieve on the spot.

"There is no need to panic, the strength of the people of China is very small. Fight back, shoot back right away! Fumijiro Horiuchi shouted the order.

Bang bang

The Japanese soldiers fell on their stomachs to avoid the oncoming bullets, and at the same time fired back at the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance on the city wall.

Although the 2nd Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army only used part of its troops, the Horiuchi detachment was numerically superior. However, after all, the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army was condescending, and there was a city wall as a cover, so the result of this confrontation was that the casualties of the Horiuchi detachment were rising sharply.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly suffering casualties, Fumijiro Horiuchi's heart was dripping blood, and without hesitation, he shouted and gave an order: "Order, the artillery brigade will open fire immediately." Sweep the head of Jiaoxian County! ”

Boom

The artillery brigade of the Hori-nai detachment soon launched an artillery bombardment on the head of Jiaoxian County, and one after another shells fell, and soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army were constantly blown off the city by the air wave of the explosion.

The machine gun group of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army was the target of the Japanese artillery's key shelling, a shell smashed down, the machine gun was blown into parts on the spot, and the machine gunner was also broken through the brittle body by countless shrapnel and fell in a pool of blood.

Wang Mo's reaction was not slow, and as soon as the Japanese artillery brigade carried out a round of shelling, he did not hesitate to order: "Order, the artillery regiment immediately launches a comprehensive artillery bombardment to destroy all the Japanese artillery!" ”

At the moment when the artillery brigade of the Horiuchi detachment opened fire, the observers of the artillery regiment, who had been preparing for a long time, locked on to the specific location of the Japanese artillery position with their rich experience.

After Wang Mo's order was issued, the artillery regiment completed the artillery preparation with the fastest degree, and then 5o 6omm guns and 5o 8omm light field guns all let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The deafening roar made the whole world fall silent in an instant, and a hundred shells smashed into the artillery positions of the Horiuchi detachment.

Because the Horiuchi detachment was not a regular Japanese army, but only a unit that was temporarily transferred to carry out special tasks, the artillery brigade to which it belonged was only an artillery unit with 2o 75 field guns to provide artillery support for the infantry charge.

When a hundred shells fell blankly, the 2o 75 field guns of the artillery brigade of the Horiuchi detachment were blown to pieces on the spot, and from time to time several barrels were lifted high and then rolled down to all sides.

The Japanese soldiers of the artillery brigade were even more miserable, they were instantly engulfed in the flames and smoke that swept in, and they were either torn to pieces by countless bursts of shrapnel, or they fell into the sea of fire and screamed and died.

The Japanese artillerymen, who were lucky enough to survive, were trying to escape from this hellish place. The second round of shelling of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army arrived.

Boom

At this time, the Japanese artillery positions were completely shrouded in smoke and flames from the shelling, and it is no exaggeration to say that the artillery brigade of the Horiuchi detachment had been completely wiped out.

Having heard the explosion at a distance, he turned back and saw the situation in the artillery positions. Fumijiro Horiuchi almost didn't vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Impossible, how could there still be such a powerful artillery unit in Jiaoxian?

Shocked and heartbroken, Fumijiro Horiuchi's face was full of disbelief, didn't the intelligence say that Jiaoxian was empty, and there weren't many troops at all?

This question just popped into the back of Bunjiro Horiuchi's mind. The soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army at the head of Jiaoxian County suddenly increased several times, and the bullets that were frantically poured at the Japanese soldiers naturally doubled.

For the soldiers of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, the dense Japanese troops under the city were simply live targets that could be hit without aiming, and all the soldiers were repeating the action of loading the bullet and pulling the bolt to pull the trigger to shoot as quickly as possible.

Dada-da

The lethality of a light and heavy machine gun appearing in vain from all over the city wall is even more amazing, which can no longer be called strafing, but the most bloody and cruel mad massacre.

The artillery regiment of the artillery brigade of the Horinai detachment was not willing to be lonely at this time, and quickly adjusted the artillery bombardment of Zhuyuan, and launched the most ferocious artillery bombardment against the dense infantry of the Japanese army.

Boom

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of artillery bombardment like dry thunder, clouds of fireworks rose into the air one after another in the ranks of the Japanese infantry, and scattered shrapnel wantonly harvested the lives of Japanese soldiers.

Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by shrapnel were often shocked by the shock wave from the explosion and bled to death.

The units of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army suddenly exploded. It may seem like a long time, but in fact it's only a few tens of seconds.

However, in just a few tens of seconds, the Horiuchi detachment suffered a near-devastating blow, which was the terrifying power of the firepower poured out in the war.

The chief of staff, Hachiro Yamashita, turned pale, his eyes were full of panic, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This is impossible, didn't the intelligence say that Jiaoxian County's defense was empty?" How can there be so many troops, such a powerful firepower? This is the main force of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, it must be! ”

"It's a trap. The trap of the people of China! Quick, order all units to retreat immediately! And the Tanaka brigade, go and inform them to withdraw immediately! Fumijiro Horiuchi hissed and yelled.

As soon as Fumijiro Horiuchi's words fell, fierce gunfire and explosions suddenly rang out on the western outskirts of Jiaoxian. I knew with my toes that it must have been the Tanaka Brigade and the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army ambushed at the airport.

Fumijiro Horiuchi's body shook, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot. Faced with such a situation now, there is no need to think that he knows that he has fallen into the trap carefully arranged by the people of China.

Without much hesitation, Fumijiro Horiuchi abandoned the Tanaka Brigade on the other side of the airport and ordered all units to retreat immediately. Trying to withdraw from the battlefield.

It's just that Wang Mo couldn't let the Horiuchi detachment get his wish, as soon as he realized that the Japanese army had the intention of retreating, he immediately ordered: "Order, all the planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group will be dispatched immediately, and use continuous bombing to block the retreat of the Japanese army to Lao Tzu!" All units of the Second Division immediately attacked on all fronts, and annihilated the Japanese army for Lao Tzu at any cost! ”

Wang Mo gave an order, and the Blue Eagle Flying Group, which was always ready, immediately poured out, and 1oo Echo DH.4 bombers blocked the retreat of the Horiuchi detachment with continuous bombing, and even the fighters used the machine guns on the planes to shoot wildly at the Japanese troops who were trying to escape.

At the same time, the units of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in Jiaoxian County also rushed out of the county like a tiger out of the gate and launched an extremely ferocious attack on the detachment in Hori. (To be continued.) )
