Chapter 655: Victory in Air Battle
The four planes came to the sky over the town of Lijiazhuang, and the Japanese bombers were still strafing at low altitudes, and they didn't care at all, they felt that this was their own plane.
When the officers and men of the Chinese troops saw the plane coming, they didn't have to look closely, they knew that it must be a Japanese plane.
The sound of cannon fire rang out, and the planes in the sky began to engage each other, and shells were fired at the Japanese bombers one after another.
Four Japanese bombers were caught off guard, and the four bombers were shot down, and the bombers, with black smoke, began to fall towards the ground.
Both the officers and men of China and Japan, when they saw this scene at this time, they couldn't help but raise their heads in astonishment and look at the scene in the air.
"Come out, it's our plane, it's our plane, it's all out, our plane is coming, everyone come and see."
"It's our plane, it's really our plane, they're coming to reinforce us to fight, they're really coming."
"The four planes of the little devils have been shot down, long live the Chinese Air Force, long live the Air Force brothers!"
The officers and men of the New Second Brigade, who had been hiding in the trench defense holes, came to the positions one after another, cheering loudly and smiling on their faces.
The steel helmets were thrown into the air by them, and they didn't know if the pilots on the plane could hear them, they shouted loudly.
The morale of the officers and men rose instantly, and all the officers and men stood on their positions, their heads tilted and their eyes looked at the four planes in the air.
With four Japanese bombers shot down, there were only two Japanese bombers left in the sky, and the two Japanese bombers sensed the anomaly, and they immediately increased their altitude.
The four Chinese fighters immediately began to shoot, they quickly pursued the Japanese bombers, one after another shells were fired from the cannons, and hit the Japanese bombers, the Japanese bombers made evasive actions, but they were entangled by the four fighters, and the fate can be imagined.
Five minutes passed, and a Japanese bomber was shot down again, and when the Japanese bomber began to fall with black smoke, the officers and men of the New Second Brigade on the position let out a tsunami-like shout, and they waved their fists to cheer for the Air Force.
Ten minutes later, the only Japanese bomber was shot down again, and only four Chinese fighters circled at low altitude over the town of Lijiazhuang, and the officers and men of the New Second Brigade shouted loudly, with indescribable joy on their faces.
At this time, the 16th Brigade of the Japanese Army took advantage of this opportunity to quickly break through in the direction of Zhanshang Town.
The commander of the 16th Brigade saw that even a small number of Chinese planes had arrived to participate in the battle, and he realized that the Chinese troops in this operation had made up their minds.
He didn't dare to make any stop in Yangjiayu Village, and at half past one in the afternoon, the 16th Brigade broke through on time.
The 16th Brigade marched rapidly, and at 1:40, the reassembled armored battalion and cavalry battalion troops under the leadership of regiment commander Yin Jinshan and deputy regiment commander Ge Haifeng began to pursue the Japanese 16th Brigade, and the 6th Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Pre-1st Regiment were to contain and besiege the Japanese troops in Lijiazhuang Town and Huanglong Village according to the plan.
The four fighters did not immediately fly over the town of Lijiazhuang, they strafed the Japanese troops at low altitudes, and cooperated with the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment.
The 16th Brigade that broke out was strafed at low altitude by four fighters, while thirty tanks and hundreds of cavalry units pursued them.
The artillery continued to fire at the Japanese troops, and shells began to explode inside the Japanese troops, and the 16th Brigade that broke through paid a heavy price.
"Captain, let's stop our actions and set up defensive positions on the spot, if we continue to march, the planes of the Zhina army are likely to cause us great casualties."
A captain came to the front of the Shaozo Captain, looked at the Shaozo Captain in front of him, and the Japanese captain said with a worried face.
As soon as his words fell, a fighter plane flew over, and a machine gun shell hit the Japanese captain in the body.
The Japanese captain's body was torn apart, and the captain of the Shaozuo Brigade was stained with a lot of blood.
Captain Shaozo immediately lay on the ground, but at this moment, nine Vickers tanks of the 3rd Panzer Company began to fire at the Japanese troops.
The tank guns of the nine Vickers tanks fired shells one after another, which landed in the Japanese troops, and the explosions rang out, and the devil soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
The Panzer Battalion units began to catch up with the evacuated Japanese 16 Brigade, thirty tanks advanced in an inverted wedge formation, the tanks advanced at half speed, and the tank machine guns were constantly strafing.
Rows of devil soldiers fell to the ground, and these devil soldiers were completely sieveed by tank machine guns.
When the devil soldiers paid hundreds of casualties, they immediately began to stop the breakout, the devil soldiers scattered and hidden, and heavy weapons began to be erected.
Two Japanese heavy machine guns began to be erected, but before they could fire, they were destroyed by the anti-tank battery of the armored battalion.
ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS WERE FIRED FROM SIX 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND JAPANESE HEAVY MACHINE GUNS AND MORTARS BEGAN TO WITHSTAND ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS.
The machine gun company of the cavalry battalion set up four machine guns, four mortars, four infantry guns, and 18 light and heavy machine guns to attack the Japanese light and heavy weapons.
The Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenadier mortars were often just erected, and they were fired at before they had time to fire shells.
The tank units disrupted the Japanese ranks, the devil soldiers scattered around to resist, and the riflemen shot weakly at the tanks.
The bullet clangs on the tank, but it poses no threat to the tank.
The cavalry troops began to attack under the leadership of the battalion commander Ge Haifeng, and the cavalrymen brandished their sabers and rushed towards the devil soldiers.
The sharp saber slashed mercilessly at the body of the devil soldier, and one of the ghost soldiers began to fall to the ground.
War is cruel, and there will be no mercy here, let alone killing them hundreds of times with the things done by the devil soldiers.
The face of the 16th Brigade Captain Shaozuo turned pale, and his brows furrowed tightly as he saw that his troops were suffering more and more casualties.
After seeing the bombers start to be shot down, he realized that the situation was a little bad, he quickly broke out with his troops, and at that time he did not encounter any resistance from the Chinese troops, and the captain of Shaozuo was secretly surprised, he felt that the Chinese troops must have been attracted by the air battle, but he did not expect that the Chinese troops were deliberately letting them leave the position in Yangjiayu Village, and the Chinese troops had long wanted to annihilate them with a mobile war.
"Disperse and break out, and break through as much as you can." The commander of the Japanese Shaozo Brigade immediately gave the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Type 89 tank in the distance fired a shuttle of bullets at him, and the captain of the Japanese Shaozo Group fell to the ground.
