The power of the heavy aerial bombs was amazing, and the Mustang fighters dropped two or three bombs in a single dive, and the little devils had no effective fortifications, and under the bombing of the aerial bombs, the number of casualties rose sharply.

At present, the high-level commander of the Potian detachment has basically committed suicide, the entire detachment has lost its effective command, and the little devils are fighting on their own, all of them are panicked looking for a place to escape the bombing, and they have very little to fight back at the planes in the sky.

A small number of little devils tried to break through with a 38-type rifle, but they were all beaten back by the peripheral [***] team, and the little devils turned around in the huge encirclement of the [***] team, and the little devils were all in chaos.

In less than 10 minutes, each Mustang fighter dropped all the hundreds of kilograms of bombs it carried, and the Mustang pilots who had dropped the bombs seemed to be unsatisfied, driving the Mustang fighters to strafe the little devils on the ground, and those remnants of the little devils were not killed by the bombs just now, but many of the little devils on the ground were killed by machine guns.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen Mustang fighters that had abused the little devils circled in the air, and more than a dozen planes completed the formation and returned victoriously towards Yichang Airport.

As soon as the Mustang fighters left, a loud charge sounded on the positions of the squadron on all sides, and all the squadrons, including the 3rd Infantry Division, shouted together and rushed to the position of the little devils.

The little devils who were tortured and killed by the plane, at this time there were less than two thousand, and almost everyone was injured, some were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, in front of the [***] team, the little devils who could take up arms to resist, at most more than 1,000 people.

More than a thousand little devils were defeated, and in the face of tens of thousands of swarming, the morale of the squadron was high, and they were completely slaughtered.

The position of the little devils was full of large craters, and these big craters were either blown up by 105-mm howitzers or by aerial bombs just now.

In addition to these big pits, there are weapons scattered on the ground and a large number of corpses of little devils, many little devils have broken limbs and arms, the scene is miserable, fortunately, whether it is the third infantry division or the 59th army, most of them are veterans, everyone sees this scene, although they feel a little uncomfortable, but there are still few people to the point of unbearable.

The remnants of the little devils, seeing the swarming squadron around them, and most of their companions in front of them were killed by Chinese soldiers, there are fewer and fewer little devils around, and the remnants of the little devils are full of despair, and many of the little devils are raising their hands high, ready to surrender.

Half an hour later, the position of the Hatian detachment had been completely occupied by the squadron, and all the little devils were annihilated except for about three or four hundred little devils who became prisoners.

At this time, on the position, many soldiers were raising their arms and cheering, and many soldiers of the 59th Army thought to themselves, this battle was really enjoyable, more than 10,000 little devils, the notorious Hatian detachment, was wiped out by everyone in a few hours.

Many soldiers of the 59th Army know in their hearts that in addition to the planes and heavy artillery of the 36th Group Army, there is also Zhang Yunfei's excellent command, and many soldiers of the 59th Army have begun to deeply admire Zhang Yunfei in their hearts.

After clearing the remnants of the enemy, everyone began to clean up the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers of the Third Infantry Division also joined in cleaning up the battlefield, helping friendly troops to clean up the battlefield together, collecting the guns and ammunition on the ground one by one, and carrying the bodies of the little devils together, many soldiers of the 59th Army were digging big pits one by one, preparing to bury the bodies of the little devils.

Tens of thousands of people together, cleaning the battlefield seems to be very tacit, less than half an hour, the battlefield has been cleaned for nearly half of the time, many soldiers, seeing so many trophies, seem very happy, like a festival, their faces are filled with a thick smile.

A burly man in his thirties wearing a half-worn military uniform of the 59th Army, with a full beard on his face, although he also had a thick smile on his face, he could still see that this was a veteran of a hundred battles, his eyes were different from others, his eyes were deep, and he was filled with the baptism of war.

This veteran was also cleaning up the battlefield, already carrying three or four Little Devil Type 38 rifles on his back, and several little devil bullet boxes in his hand, and even a newly captured Little Devil Wang Eight box pistol diagonally across his waist.

Suddenly, a broken little devil machine gun position in front of him made the veteran's eyes shine, although this machine gun position was also blown to pieces, more than a dozen little devil corpses were scattered on the ground, and two Type 92 heavy machine guns fell to the ground crookedly.

The veteran ran to the little devil's machine gun position in a few steps, kicked away the corpse of a little devil who was holding a Type 92 heavy machine gun, straightened the crooked Type 92 heavy machine gun, and carefully examined it, with a look of disappointment and pity on his face, this Type 92 heavy machine gun was obviously seriously damaged and could not be used.

The veteran, who was full of pity on his face, held on to a glimmer of hope, walked to another Type 92 heavy machine not far away, squatted down and carefully examined it, and the veteran immediately looked ecstatic.

This machine gun was obviously not damaged, and it was still a new Type 92 heavy machine gun, and there were more than a dozen bullets in the thirty-round cartridge plate on the machine gun, yellow-orange-orange bullets, which looked so cute.

The veteran fiddled with the machine gun a little excitedly, and then shouted to another soldier of the 59th Army twenty or thirty meters away: "Xiaohu, come here, there is a good heavy machine gun here." ”

This young soldier, who was also carrying two Type 38 rifles on his back and a little devil's command knife in his hand, heard his squad leader calling himself, and immediately ran over happily, and said in surprise: "Old squad leader, this is the little devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun, it's really good-looking, it must be good." ”

The veteran smiled and nodded, and said to the soldier, "Xiaohu, come and take the handle, we will carry this machine gun away." ”

When the two men carried the captured Type 92 heavy machine guns to a weapon storage site, a large number of Type 38 rifles and at least a dozen crooked machine guns were already stacked there, as well as quite a few grenadiers and other weapons.

Several high-ranking officers of the 59th Army were talking happily there, their faces full of joy, and the weapons and equipment of nearly 10,000 little devils were captured, which made people excited and excited when they thought about it.

Chen Erwa, the commander of the Third Infantry Division next to him, seemed much calmer than those senior officers of the 59th Army, although he also had a smile on his face, but the weapons of the little devils were not very attractive to Division Commander Chen, who was used to automatic weapons.

What made Division Commander Chen happy was that today everyone annihilated the little devil's Potan detachment, and more than 10,000 little devils were completely annihilated, which was what really made Division Commander Chen happy. As soon as the battle ended just now, Division Commander Chen, who was in a happy mood, sent Zhang Yunfei a good news.

In the city of Yichang, the joint command.

Zhang Yunfei and the others looked at the telegrams sent back from the front line, and they were also in a very good mood, and the operational staff officers and correspondents in the command headquarters were also full of joy, and within a few hours, more than 10,000 little devils were annihilated.

Zhang Zizhong looked at the telegram, and also felt that today was like a dream, and the little devil Botian detachment of more than 10,000 people had disappeared like this, which made Zhang Zizhong sigh in his heart.

A few months ago, in the Battle of Zaoyi (there is a discrepancy with the real historical time), [***] at the cost of more than 30,000 killed, it was only at the cost of more than 30,000 people that it annihilated seven or eight thousand little devils, and it lasted nearly half a month, and its own 59th Army, as a participating unit, was the best performing unit in the entire battle, and also killed more than 5,000 soldiers, only to annihilate more than 3,000 little devils, and almost ran out of a little ammunition in stock.

However, in this attack on Jingzhou, his own troops suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but together with an infantry division of the 36th Group Army and a flying brigade, they completely annihilated the little devil's Botian detachment, which was a complete annihilation of the whole system, which is really a miracle.

Zhang Zizhong, who was full of emotion in his heart, looked at Zhang Yunfei's eyes were completely different, his eyes were full of admiration and respect, yes, respect, he had such a magical sworn brother, and he was completely worthy of his own respect.

Zhang Zizhong, who had thought about it a lot, looked at Zhang Yunfei in front of him, who was just a little smiling on his face, Zhang Zizhong couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said happily: "Brother, this time we have created a miracle, the total annihilation of the Botian detachment has made outstanding contributions to the cause of China's War of Resistance." ”

Although Zhang Yunfei was also happy in his heart, he also smiled faintly on his face and said: "Big brother, I am also very happy to annihilate the Botian detachment this time, and we will go to the newly recovered Jingzhou City in the evening to celebrate." ”

"Okay, brother, I also want to go to Jingzhou City for a walk, then we'll leave for Jingzhou in a minute." Zhang Zizhong also said happily.

"Okay, let's set off later, by the way, this time to attack Jingzhou, I think the little devil Wuhan must have sent reinforcements, we want to let the little devil's reinforcements retreat, then we must beat the little devil's reinforcements." Zhang Yunfei suggested again.

"Oh, brother, what are your plans?" Zhang Zizhong was also interested.

"I think, now that there are still two hours before dark, we will once again order the Mustang fighters of the flying group to take off and strike hard at the little devil's reinforcements."

"Okay!" Zhang Zizhong said happily: "The little devil has a chariot wing and a motorized brigade on the Wuhan side, and I think the reinforcement vanguard of the little devil may be this chariot wing and motorized brigade." ”

"Okay, then let's strike at this tank wing and motorized brigade." Zhang Yunfei made the final decision.
