Chapter 1230: Fighter Fights
Huaxian, in the regimental headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, when the position of the 56th Wing was broken through by armored troops, the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Hara Shousande immediately began to get in touch with the regimental headquarters of the 18th Division.
Yuan Shou Sande knew very well that the 56th Wing was breached, which meant that the entire 23 Brigade had opened a gap in the outer defense, and if the 23 Brigade wanted to continue to defend the peripheral positions, it would become very difficult, especially if the other side was a tank force, even if the original Shou Sande transferred the 55 Wing to reinforce the past, it would not have much effect.
"Contact the aviation unit and immediately bomb the positions of the 56th Wing, be sure to carry out carpet bombing."
After the commander of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Changna Chengyi, received the telegram from Yuan Shousande, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and he quickly issued a combat order.
Now for Jiuna Chengyi, he doesn't have much choice, he must quickly stop the movement of the armored troops, otherwise Huaxian may be lost.
So after some consideration, Jana City made a decision that he was going to sacrifice the 56th Wing.
"Order the rest of the 23rd Brigade to immediately return to the city to garrison, and send a separate telegram to the 56th Wing, so that they can contain the Chinese troops as much as possible and cover the rest of the 23rd Brigade into the city."
After a slight hesitation, Jiuna Joichi began to give the battle order again.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." After receiving the order from Guna Joichi, the chief of staff of Osa did not hesitate, he immediately saluted, and then he began to convey the order.
The order of the regimental headquarters of the 18th Division immediately began to be issued, and after the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Brigade was given the order of the division and regimental headquarters, he immediately began to enter the county town with the 55th Wing and other troops.
The captain of the 56th Wing also evacuated towards the county, but his troops were also attacked by the armored infantry regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment, and the three honorary regiments of the Honor Fourth Division also began to set off according to Sun Weiguo's predetermined plan, they were preparing to pass directly from the position of the Japanese 56th Wing and directly encircle and annihilate the Japanese 56th Wing.
At this time, two bomber squadrons of the 21st Independent Flying Group of the Japanese Army, a full twenty-four bombers, began to appear in the sky over Huaxian.
Because the bombing during the day was not intercepted by the Chinese air force units, nor was it attacked by ground anti-aircraft guns, the little devil bombers were arrogant to the extreme, and began to appear in the sky over Huaxian without fighter escort.
As the Japanese bombers began to appear, the Japanese artillery wing, which had never fired, began to shoot, and one after another flares began to hit the positions of the Japanese 56th Wing.
The dark night instantly turned into day, and the Japanese bombers, like wolves seeing lambs, began to concentrate over the positions of the 56th Wing.
Aerial bombs began to be dropped, and then a loud explosion began to occur on the ground.
One bomb crater after another, the little devils of the 56th Wing and the officers and soldiers of the Provisional Ninth Army were affected to varying degrees, and the ground seemed to start shaking in an instant.
With a "boom", an aerial bomb fell on a tank No. 4, which was directly destroyed.
The Japanese air force resolutely carried out the carpet bombing order, and one aerial bomb after another began to fall, and the sound of explosions continued to sound, and the entire east side of Huaxian County was plunged into a sea of fire.
In the military headquarters of the Ninth Army, Sun Weiguo had just received a call from Chen Lie, the commander of the 54th Army, who reported to Sun Weiguo that a large number of Japanese troops had begun to withdraw to the city.
After receiving Chen Lie's report, Sun Weiguo realized that the Japanese army was likely to completely abandon the peripheral positions, and he was about to give orders to the front-line troops, but violent explosions began to sound outside, and even the military headquarters of the Ninth Army was greatly affected.
Sun Weiguo quickly rushed outside, he glanced outside, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Looking at the Japanese position, which had almost become a sea of fire, Sun Weiguo knew that if the devil soldiers were allowed to continue bombing, he was afraid that the troops of the Ninth Army would suffer heavy losses.
But now, even if Sun Weiguo can contact the air force, even if the air force is dispatched now, it will be too late.
"Order the troops of the Honorary Fourth Division to ......" Sun Weiguo was about to start giving orders, and he was ready to withdraw the troops of the Honorary Fourth Division first.
But at this time, before Sun Weiguo's order could be issued, a Japanese bomber began to emit black smoke and began to fall rapidly.
With a "boom", the little devil bomber fell in the distance, producing a huge explosion.
"Commander-in-chief, it's our plane, our plane is coming." Gao Shen Ge Haifeng pointed to a fighter jet that was passing quickly, and he shouted with excitement on his face.
Sun Weiguo also saw the national flag on this fighter plane, and he was relieved.
Originally, according to the chairman's intentions, the Japanese army was currently massing a large number of naval and land air forces in Guangdong, and he did not intend to devote his remaining few air force units to here.
However, Sun Weiguo continued to generate electricity, and He Yingqin, chief of staff and minister of military affairs, Xu Yongchang, director of the Military Command Department, and others began to speak, and finally the chairman of the committee changed his attention, and he sent eight fighters to Guangdong to participate in the war.
Eight fighters took advantage of the darkness to come to Guangdong, they did not encounter any Japanese air force, when they saw the Japanese bombers over Huaxian County dropping bombs, the eight fighters immediately into the battle, they a surprise attack, they directly shot down a Japanese bomber, and immediately after, the Japanese army successively shot down three bombers again.
Realizing the danger, the imp bombers immediately began to stop bombing and began to hurriedly dodge and flee.
Chinese Air Force fighters began to go into battle, and the little devil bombers simply did not have any chance to bomb.
"The troops of the Honorary Fourth Division quickly entered the operation, and attacked the county at all costs, as long as they entered the county, the little devil bombers would definitely not continue to bomb."
Sun Weiguo saw the appearance of the Chinese Air Force, and he quickly began to issue combat orders.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Yin Jinshan immediately saluted and said that he began to personally go to the front line to direct the troops to start the operation.
The Japanese bombers stopped bombing, and the troops of the 201st Division quickly assembled, and now they didn't even have time to count their losses, Fang Chaoqun immediately commanded the troops to continue the operation.
The 5th Panzer Regiment and the Dragon Force continued to attack the Japanese in depth, followed by the Panzer Infantry Regiment and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment striking at the remnants of the Japanese 56th Wing.
With the arrival of the Honorable 4th Division, the mechanized infantry regiment also began to follow the tank troops.
"Boom, boom." The Japanese artillery wing began to attack, and shells quickly hit the tank units.
The shells began to explode, and the shrapnel clanged on the tank's armor, which did not cause much damage to the tank, but these shrapnel brought a certain degree of damage to the Dragon troops.
