Chapter 557: A Sudden Air Battle

"Wing Commander, Wing Commander, Division Commander Telegram..."On the city wall of Baishan County, when Wing Commander Matsuda and Chief of Staff were anxiously waiting for the division commander to call back, the telegraph operator held a telegram and said excitedly...

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff. Here I have good news for you... The main force led by the division commander, after two days of continuous marching, will complete the encirclement of Baishan County before dark tomorrow night. Therefore, in tomorrow's battle, His Excellency the division commander will send air forces to reinforce us...."After reading the telegram in his hand, Matsuda said with a look of surprise...

"Wing Commander, it's true, tomorrow's battle, there will really be air forces to reinforce us..." The chief of staff asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression...

"Chief of Staff, this is a telegram personally signed by His Excellency the Division Commander, do you have any questions?" Hearing the rhetorical question of the chief of staff, Matsuda, the wing-captain with an excited face, asked rhetorically with an unhappy face...

"No, Your Excellency, I'm just too happy, too excited. This good news is tantamount to a huge doping for Matsuda United, which is now in trouble... I believe that with the support of the aircraft, we will not only be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. Moreover, to a certain extent, a large number of soldiers of the surrounding Eighth Route Army can be killed and injured...."Hearing the wing commander's rhetorical question, the chief of staff replied with a confident face.

With the telegram personally signed by Lieutenant General Sato, the commander of the division, in the voice of the command of the wing commander Matsuda, it was passed to the ears of every little devil one after another. On the entire city wall, the faces of the soldiers, who were still lifeless just now, and full of despair about the future, were immediately swept away. The hope of victory once again appeared on the faces of these little devils...

Sure enough, not long after dawn the next day, the roar of a huge engine slowly reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield from far and near... In the blink of an eye, three small black dots appeared in the sky... As the roar grew louder and louder, three little devil planes painted with plaster flags finally appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Onboard... Onboard... Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Army of Japan..."Seeing the three planes in the sky reinforcing themselves. The remaining nearly a thousand little devils on the city wall could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and immediately raised the weapons in their hands, waved the plaster flag, and began to cheer loudly...

"**, little devil plane, why didn't I think that we are now in the northeast, and we may face the blow of the little devil plane at any time... Quickly, the units immediately dispersed, the machine gunners remained, ready for air defense ... Hurry up, disperse immediately..."See the little devil plane in the sky, getting closer and closer. Wang Hong could say that he was annoyed for a while, and yelled loudly at the players around him...

However, fortunately, at this moment, gathered inside and outside the city walls were the first brigade of the advance detachment, which was a well-trained special combat unit. In the face of the little devil plane that was getting closer and closer overhead and could drop bombs at any time, he did not show too much panic. With the issuance of Wang Hong's order, hundreds of team members immediately began to disperse around under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, and prepared for air defense....

"Buzz, buzz...", as the annoying roar of the plane began to ring over the heads of the fighters, back and forth. Three little devil planes began to hover over the battlefield continuously....Finally, under the expectant gaze of everyone, a plane began to dive towards the artillery position of the first brigade outside the city with a huge whistle of breaking through the sky...

"Woo woo woo ...boom ..."Two whistles broke through the air on the battlefield, followed by two huge explosions on the artillery position. Two puffs of black smoke immediately rose from the artillery position... More than a dozen mortars, along with several members of the team next to them, were thrown high into the sky by the air wave generated by the explosion of the bomb...

With one mortar after another, a member of the team landed ... Just now it was still an intact mortar, a barrel with a black hole. At this moment, it has become a twisted twist... As for the few unlucky special combat soldiers, they didn't get much better, and they just turned into soft corpses...

In a few minutes, the three planes, like a kitten smelling fish, took turns to drop bombs one after another at various positions outside the city... Soon, dozens of craters were blown out of the position that had just been leveled... More than thirty mortars, in the explosion of dozens of bombs, also less than a fifth remained ... As for the special combat team members lying on the ground, they also paid the price of dozens of casualties..., "Little devil, today, I will definitely make you pay the price... All the machine gunners were ready to open fire, and according to the Japanese combat habits, after throwing the bombs, they would definitely fire at low altitudes. When the time comes, they will all aim at me, and all three planes will be shot down for me to avenge the sacrificed comrades..." Wang Hong, who clenched his fists, commanded fiercely at the dozen or so machine gunners around him....

Sure enough, just as Wang Hong's words were finished, three planes that were unwilling to just bomb and had never tried the power of a special operations team. With a huge roar, he quickly dived down from high in the air, ready to shoot low-altitude strafing at the special combat team members lying on the ground, which was used to increase their combat record...

"Onboard... Long live the Air Force ... Long live the Air Force..."Seeing that the plane was getting closer and closer to the ground, the airborne aviation machine gun had already spewed out a thick tongue of fire, and it was far from the Eighth Route Army lying on the ground. On the city wall, under the fierce blow of the artillery fire of the advance team outside the city, the little devil who had been aggrieved for a whole day couldn't help but wave the military flag in his hand, and cheered excitedly at the three planes in the sky...

And the three planes in the sky seemed to hear the cheers of the infantry on the ground. Without any hesitation, he lowered the nose of the plane and quickly swooped towards the ground in front of the dense special combat team members lying on the ground. At the same time, the faces of the three pilots also showed a hideous face ...

The sudden sound of machine gun fire broke the atmosphere of the entire battlefield. Just when the three arrogant planes were stunned to dive and strafe, they were about to hit the target. The ground, which was still devastated and did not move at all, immediately appeared dozens of dense tongues of fire... There are anti-aircraft machine guns, and there are crooked-handled light machine guns ...

"Yaga, how can the people of China have anti-aircraft weapons, quickly, immediately evade ... Boom, boom..."In the face of the sudden anti-aircraft fire network, I held up the sound of "bang bang bang..." that kept ringing in my ears. The little devil pilot, who was flying at the front, couldn't help but be taken aback, let out an exclamation, clenched the aircraft control stick, and wanted to pull up the fuselage...

However, at this moment, under the shroud of a dense network of firepower, it is too late to say anything. Just before he finished his sentence. A single accurate anti-aircraft machine gun bullet accurately entered the plane's fuel tank. A huge explosion sounded, and the entire plane immediately turned into a huge fireball, slowly falling to the ground...

As for the two planes behind the fireball, they were also shrouded in a dense net of firepower shot from the ground at the first time. In less than a few minutes, another huge explosion sounded, and a plane disintegrated directly in the air under the constant blows of countless bullets, and an explosion occurred... As for the last plane, it staggered into the woods not far away with a thick puff of black smoke...

"Hooray, hooray..." The air threat was successfully removed, and the special combat personnel lying on the ground couldn't help but jump off the ground, raised the weapons in their hands, and began to cheer loudly.

And at this moment, on the city wall of the Japanese army in Baishan County, the little devil who was still very excited just now and kept cheering. It was as if he had been frozen there, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him. Because they couldn't believe that the air force, which had always been invincible, was wiped out today in front of the infantry of the Chinese people...

"Yaga, how is it possible, how can the people of China have an anti-aircraft machine gun. Impossible, absolutely impossible ... How can this be, our plane...."Wing Commander Matsuda, with a pair of eyes wide, looked at the two huge fireballs generated by the explosion of the plane outside the city, and muttered to himself in disbelief....

"Wing Commander, although the three planes that reinforced us were completely annihilated by the sneak attack of the people outside the city. However, the three planes that reinforced us succeeded in destroying most of the mortars owned by the Eighth Route Army outside the city. I believe that without the assistance of mortars, the Eighth Route Army will be able to hold out for a longer time, please rest assured that the Wing Commander..."The chief of staff was also very shocked by the loss of three planes. However, for the sake of the morale of the troops, the chief of staff had to speak comforting ...

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, I believe in your command ability, and the rest will be left to you. If you still need air support, tell me immediately, and I will personally send a request to His Excellency the Division Commander..."Matsuda nodded and said..., "Hai, please rest assured that the Wing Commander will complete the mission..."

At this moment, although the troops have achieved the results of three planes, Wang Hong, as the deputy captain, has a sad face. Because, just now, the report of the losses of the troops has been handed over to him ...

In the bombardment that lasted just ten minutes, the entire special operations group suffered the largest losses for the first time since its formation... The 32 special combat team members left everyone forever. Six members of the team were seriously injured and will leave the special operations team from now on.

Seeing the corpse of his comrade-in-arms lying in front of him, Wang Hong couldn't help but clench his fists, and his whole face was completely shrouded in anger...

"Little devil, I must make you pay for your blood debts... Captain Zhang, how many mortars do we have left..."After a few minutes of silence, Wang Hong asked a squadron leader behind him...

"Deputy Captain, there are still six captured Japanese mortars left, and we have 9 of our own, a total of 15 mortars..."The squadron leader quickly replied...

"Okay, let's let the little devil pay for it with blood today... Set up all the mortars for me, and fire five rounds of shells at the little devils on the city walls every ten minutes. Other than that. Inform the 3rd Squadron that, as requested last night, I will give you a morning to rebuild 300 rounds of refueled shells. In the afternoon, let's use the cannonballs to greet these little devils and wipe them all out before it gets dark...."Wang Hong ordered...

Immediately, the sound of cannonballs exploding began to sound on the city walls. One by one, with the anger of the soldiers, the shells accurately smashed on the bare city wall, constantly killing and injuring the living forces of the Japanese army...

After losing three planes, the Japanese Army Aviation Unit never sent a single plane in the face of another request from Wing Commander Matsuda Daisa. Because the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Sato, could not believe that in the small county town of Baishan, how many losses there were, the precious combat aircraft of the empire ...

Without the support of aircraft, it faced the continuous shelling of fifteen mortars. The morale of the nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers on the head of the city who had just been raised was once again ruthlessly shattered. In one morning, nearly a thousand devil soldiers once again paid the price of more than half of the casualties. And the advance detachment outside the city, except for the consumption of almost all the captured Japanese shells, did not suffer any losses....

"Well played... Captain Zhang, how many shells do we have left? Are the 300 rounds of refueling shells I asked the 3rd Squadron to prepare...."Watching the flying artillery fire, one by one the little devils were thrown off the city wall and turned into corpses. Wang Hong, who was still sad about the sacrifice of dozens of team members just now, felt a lot more comfortable, and asked the squadron leader beside him...

"Captain, all the 300 rounds of refueling shells have been prepared, just waiting for your order, all of them will be greeted on the city wall... As for the shells, plus what we carried ourselves, there were less than five hundred rounds left ...

"More than eight hundred shells in total, enough ... Now I order, out of the cordon, the troops will eat immediately... After lunch, let's prepare to attack the city, launch the last attack on the little devils, and avenge the sacrificed team members..."Wang Hong said confidently...

An hour later, hundreds of team members, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders and squadron leaders, immediately made pre-battle preparations....A team member, holding all kinds of weapons in his hands, stared at the city wall a few hundred meters away, just waiting for Wang Hong to give the order to attack the city...

And at this moment, on the city wall, the remaining more than 500 devil soldiers are snuggled on the edge of the city wall with dull eyes, looking at the sky with their eyes... The bombardment in the morning completely shattered the only hope of victory left in the hearts of these devils... What's more, in the bloody battle of two days and one night, these devil soldiers have already eaten the dry food and water they carried with them... At this moment, there is not even a single bit of food on the entire city wall, except for the corpses of the fallen soldiers...

Seeing the Eighth Route Army outside the city, which seemed to be preparing to attack, although the leaders of the devil squadron and the squad leaders kept punching and kicking the soldiers around them, asking for defense. However, in the face of death, none of the devil soldiers made any response...

"Comrades, just this morning, our first brigade, a full 32 special combat personnel, died in the bombing of the little devil's plane. This afternoon, we will use the heads of hundreds of little devils on the city wall to bury the sacrificed comrades..."Looking at the hundreds of team members behind him, he raised his clenched fists and shouted loudly..., "Revenge... Revenge..."Hearing Wang Hong's roar, the special combat team members who had never suffered such a big loss shouted at the same time...

"Artillery troops, give me one last shelling of the little devils on the city wall, and all the shells we brought... Order, three rounds of feeding shells, five rounds of unfed shells, take turns to hit me, start now..."For everyone's reaction, Wang Hong nodded with satisfaction, and ordered loudly...

"All the way...", a dull sound sounded over the artillery position. In the first round, a total of fifteen shells flew out of the barrel and smashed towards the city wall not far away... Unexpectedly, just when the shells were about to land, the devil soldiers on the city wall, lying down for the first time, dodging shrapnel, an accident happened...

"Bang bang bang......snort..."The dozen or so shells that fell into the city wall did not make a loud explosion as expected. There was a clenching sound like a jar shattering. Immediately after, puffs of red smoke rose from the exploding eggshell...

As the time passed minute by minute, just when all the little devils were at a loss and looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Thick red smoke has enveloped them all...

"Ahem, ahem... Yaga is a gas bomb... The Eighth Route Army is a great story, I want to go to the international tribunal to sue them...."In an instant, one cough after another, cursing began to sound on the city wall... Facing the pungent pepper smoke, which makes it almost impossible to breathe and can't open your eyes. The little devils lying on the ground, no longer caring about the cannonballs that might fall at any time, jumped up from the ground one after another, and began to scurry around the narrow city walls, looking for places that had not yet been shrouded in smoke and breathing fresh air...

And at this moment, all three rounds of refueled shells have been fired, followed by shells that have not been modified in any way ... As the sound of explosions resounded on the city wall, in the flying shrapnel, the little devils who were scurrying around were beaten into hornet's nests and turned into bloody corpses....

And just like that, after this eerie shelling that lasted for half an hour. On the entire city wall, except for dozens of devil soldiers, they survived by luck. The remaining hundreds of soldiers, including Wing Commander Matsuda, were all blown to the ground. The entire city wall, which was stained red with the blood of the little devils, was also like hell, full of soldiers' stumps, severed arms and internal organs...
