As the three Stuka bombers in the air dived and bombed again and again, until they tilted the bombs they carried on them, they still tirelessly continued to do the repetitive action, when the three Stuka bombers dived back and forth about ten times or so, finally there was a roaring buzz in the distance.

The Kwantung Army soldiers hiding on the ground are on the verge of mental breakdown at this time, and no one can hold on to this terrifying voice, and the Kwantung Army soldiers with good combat qualities are still the same. When a roaring buzz was heard in the air in the distance, the Kwantung Army on the ground could no longer stand it.

Their division was originally to be used as a reserve, and five divisions had been transferred from around Chifeng to Jinxi, while their division was placed in the rear in case of emergency. originally seemed to be a battle that was nine out of ten, but it had a result that made people laugh and cry, and no one would have thought that it would be such a result.

Then it was Kenkichi Ueda who was transferred back to China, and as soon as Umezu Mijiro received the letter of appointment, he directly sent an order to the 1st Division before he set off, asking them to find a place to hide first and wait for the next attack. In desperation, Okabe Naosaburo could only choose to disperse the heavy firepower of the first division and hide it in various county towns, and then lurk in this mountainous area with the infantry, and the supply and everything was carried out at night.

Anyway, the battle had just ended on the Jinxi side, and the 99th Army was unable to continue the offensive in a short period of time, so Okabe Naosaburo dared to rest assured and boldly disperse the heavy firepower, first, in order to avoid the detection of the enemy's air force, and second, to facilitate the hiding of infantry units. Anyway, the place where they were stored was not far away, and it only took less than half a day for them to regroup for battle.

However, just two days ago, Okabe Naosaburo received an order from the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, who had just arrived less than a week ago, to prepare for the offensive and start the battle when the troops from all sides were in place.

Okabe Naosaburo knew that they couldn't stay here for a long time, so he didn't order the soldiers to build strong defenses, but only temporarily placed a few firepower points at various passes in the valley, and as for their hiding places, they were basically all natural, without the slightest improvement.

Anyone who has entered the mountains knows that the valley is definitely not a good place in winter, it is already in the shade, the sun does not shine, and if there is a little wind, the whole valley will become cold as ice, and they don't even dare to imagine that they have been in it for so long.

The soldiers of the Kwantung Army basically gathered together to keep warm every day except for eating, and even if they made a fire, it could only be during the day, and the fire did not dare to be too big, for fear of attracting the attention of air fighters. Originally, they thought that the bitter days had finally come to an end, and that even if they went to the front line to fight, it would be better than staying here and being cold, but no one thought that before they could get out of the valley, the enemy army would discover their traces.

The first batch to arrive was the remaining 27 Stuka dive bombers and 20 escort fighters, through the radio, they also knew the general direction of the enemy army for a long time, so before entering the battlefield, Stuka directly raised the altitude of the fighters to about 6,000 meters, and as soon as they entered the war zone, the escort 20 fighters dispersed in an instant.

Originally, there were only five fighters patrolling and escorting around, and the area was so large, it was impossible to look so carefully when patrolling, at most they could only see the targets in the air clearly, and as for the ones on the ground, they didn't know if the Kwantung Army ran or not. Now that there were suddenly twenty more fighters to cruise, except for those who were in charge of guarding, the rest of the fighters still had time to run down and look for opportunities to drop bombs.

Of course, the previous five fighters had already dropped a few bombs on the fuselage, and it was not a good idea to carry bombs under the fighters to guard. After the twenty new fighters dropped their bombs in batches, the rest of the ground attack was handed over to the twenty-seven Stukka.

In addition to the three Stuka that had already dropped all the bombs, a full thirty of them plunged straight to the ground in a high-speed dive, and the three fighters alone made the Kwantung Army soldiers hiding below tremble, and now it has suddenly increased tenfold, and for a while, many Kwantung Army soldiers could not bear the pain of this torment, some hid in natural bunkers and trembled in fright, and some ran out directly, standing in the open ground with rifles in their hands and shooting at the fighters in the air.

But in any case, all their efforts were in vain, except for anti-aircraft machine guns, with their rifles and light machine guns, they could not pose a threat to those fighters at all, and how could fighters flying at high speed be hit so easily? Let's not say anything else, just give you a brick and throw it out to kill a mosquito two meters away, and see if you can touch it.

The Stuka bomber squadron bombed with joy, and in just twenty or thirty minutes, twenty-seven Stuka bombs were tilted into the air, and even machine guns were used in the end. The only thing that makes them depressed is, where did the air force of the Kwantung Army go? They've been bombing for so long, and it stands to reason that their air force should come even if it's slow.

Headquarters of the 767th Division.

Sun Jianguo looked at the map with a sad face, and all his worries were put on his face, it was already eight o'clock, according to the predetermined plan, they should officially launch the attack at half past seven, and at this time, the other two divisions had already started fighting for half an hour, and Qian Deliang's 768th Division was progressing quite well, I heard that the battle line had been advanced by five kilometers in half an hour, and if it continued like this, it was estimated that at most one or two o'clock in the afternoon, people would be able to push the battle line outside Chengde City.

Thinking of the battle that had not yet started on his side, Sun Jianguo couldn't sit down sadly, what the hell is this called, it's finally time to fight, the little devil's troops are not hiding in Lingyuan, and the last time the Kwantung Army retreated, this division could still withstand the pressure and not retreat.

In fact, this time the task was not easy at all, the four divisions that ran away on the western and southern fronts did not run too far, and when they found that the Chinese pursuers behind them gradually stopped, they gradually began to reorganize their troops. And according to Ueda Kenkichi's last order, they were each to retreat fifty miles, where they waited for the reinforcement of the soldiers.

The reason why Ueda Kenkichi did this, in fact, was also to prepare for the future commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi knew that this time he could not escape, and retirement was already a sure thing, so no matter who took over next, he would first launch a new round of attack on the 99th Army, so Ueda Kenkichi could only ensure the number of troops on the front line as much as possible, so that his successor could not be so difficult when planning the attack.

The last thing Ueda Kenkichi did before returning to Japan was to sign a full replenishment of the four divisions on the Western Front and the Southern Front, which had basically lost their combat capability. As for the 8th and 12th Divisions on the Northern Front, Ueda Kenkichi was also powerless, because so far he had not received any reports of the discovery of the eight wings of the two divisions under them.

"Division, the Air Force has called, they have discovered the Kwantung Army hiding in the mountains, and have bombed them, the Air Force told us that we can carry out operations, they will send fighters to reconnoiter for us non-stop, and they will also send bombers to support us when necessary." The communications staff officer hurriedly ran forward to report, and after he said this, the division headquarters, which had been a little depressed, instantly became active.

"Okay, notify all the troops, immediately start the attack according to the original plan, tell the bunch of rabbit cubs, give Lao Tzu a hard beating, if Zhang Mingyan's brigade can occupy Pingquan before dark at night, Lao Tzu will personally go to them to ask for credit. At the same time, he told Fang Si that if the Second Brigade could reach Ling Yuan before dark, it would also be a great achievement. Sun Jianguo, who had already gone crazy, shouted excitedly to the communications staff officer.

Although it was half an hour later than Lao Liu and Lao Qian, Sun Jianguo was not worried about the speed of the troops' advance at all, Lao Qian's side didn't look at him advancing very fast now, but now there are basically more recruits on their side and Lao Liu's side, and now it is certain that if the three divisions are put together compared to the number of veterans, the 767 Division will definitely have an absolute advantage.

Originally, the 768th Division had an absolute advantage, but because the combat intensity of the 768th Division was the weakest in the last battle, and the 766th Division's losses were too great, Su Dao withdrew two regiments from the 768th Division, one was added to the 766th Division on the northern front, and the other regiment was directly detained by the military headquarters as a guard.

The absence of armored troops does not mean that they will not fight, the further west they go, the more mountain roads they have, although tanks can also march, but if they fight, they will not be able to open at all, as for the Kwantung Army hiding in the mountains, according to Yang Ergou's report and the reconnaissance of the Air Force, put two or three machine guns at the exit of the narrow valley, and then a few mortars, and don't think of the little devils inside. The First Division of the Kwantung Army had obviously thought of this result before, so they set up a machine gun position at each intersection, the purpose of which was to attract the 99th Army to attack here, and to use this natural obstacle to eliminate a large number of Chinese troops.

But they seem to have forgotten that the 767th Division does not seem to have any need to enter the narrow valley to fight them, as long as the exit is blocked and they are not allowed to come out, even if there are 100,000 troops staying in it, it will have no effect, maybe nothing will happen in a day or two, and you will not starve to death and die of thirst after a long time?

The front-line troops of the 767th Division, which had been ready for a long time, after receiving Sun Jianguo's attack order, were like tigers descending from the mountain, directly opening their bloody mouths and biting all the enemy troops they could see.
