Chapter 36: The Counteroffensive Begins

The first update uploaded today was actually reviewed, and Ah Ding didn't know what went wrong. I remember that I have always been a good boy who loves the party, the people, the motherland, and labor, and Ah Ding is really speechless. I may not be in the mood for codewords next.

After the bombardment, the position of the heavy artillery brigade was in a mess, and Yokoyama Zhenxiong looked at the bombed artillery position with dull eyes and muttered: "My heavy artillery, my heavy artillery" Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and unfortunately fainted.

Fifty-four stukas, with a sharp alarm, freely wreaked havoc on the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army for nearly thirty minutes, until the positions of the heavy artillery brigades were blown into ruins. After a while, the planes of the army were late. Waiting for them was the fighter planes of the First Brigade led by Gao Zhihang, hundreds of fighters flying in the sky and fighting what a spectacular scene, even the two sides fighting below stopped firing at each other, and they were all paying attention to this air battle of unprecedented scale.

Previously, both sides knew that each other was not capable of eating each other in one fell swoop, and there was a tacit understanding that no large-scale air battle broke out, because both sides knew that once they lost each other, they would have a vacuum in air power for a long time, so there was a very delicate balance.

But now the army had to fight hard, and through the radio, the commander of the army knew that his heavy artillery brigade had been completely destroyed. If the aviation of the Black Tiger Army is not eliminated, the fate of the 12th Division can be imagined.

At present, our commander of the Soviet Union is also paying close attention to the battle situation in the air, and through the binoculars, he can see that more than 50 P26 planes of the First Brigade and more than 80 Ki-11 Nakajima planes of the Japanese army are inextricably killed. From time to time, planes from both sides crashed down in black smoke, and snow-white parachutes drifted through the sky from time to time.

"Hurry up and order the troops to rescue the parachuting pilot," Su Tong coldly ordered Bai Ying to chat.

It was learned by phone that the second brigade on the Wyvern airfield had taken off and that it would take another twenty minutes to reach the airspace of the war. Now these 20 minutes are a crucial moment, and as long as these planes are left here, there will be no military planes in Chahar and Rehe in the next half month.

"Hey, is it Leng Yuan's Stuka Bomber Brigade? I am the commander-in-chief Su Tong, and now I order the Stuka Brigade to immediately reload and refuel and take off immediately after returning to the field, and the target is Longmen, and it will be executed immediately. Su Tong said firmly.

"Yes, immediately after returning to the field, load bombs and refuel and take off, the target is Longmen." Leng Yuan's clear voice came from the phone.

"Commander-in-chief, this is not appropriate." It was Bai Yingliao who spoke, although he didn't know anything about the Air Force, but he also knew that once the First Brigade led by Gao Zhihang was defeated and retreated, then the Stuka Brigade that had just arrived in the airspace of the battle would become a live target for the military aircraft, and it was not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.

"You can rest assured that the 2nd Brigade is already on its way, and when the planes are destroyed, the Stuka planes will help you attack the ground forces of the Army. This time, we must crush the main force of the 12th Division in one fell swoop and drive them back to Rehe, and we must not allow them to gain a foothold in Chahar here. ”

Su Tong stared at Bai Yingliao's eyes and said, "You have to order the troops to prepare for a counterattack now, and you must tell every soldier that victory or defeat is here!" ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" As soon as Bai Yingchat turned around, he went out to organize the troops to prepare for a counterattack.

Then Su Tong ordered the 1st Artillery Brigade, the 4th and 5th Regiments to hurry closer to the front and the 7th and 8th Regiments to prepare for a counteroffensive.

When a series of phone calls went out, Su Tong thought to himself on the box, the grip that should be done has been done, and whether he can defeat the 12th Division depends on today.

When the Second Air Brigade of the Black Tiger Army arrived, the two warring sides in the air had already reached the end of the battle, and the planes of the Black Tiger Army had lost nearly 30 fighters, while the Yue Army had lost more than 40 planes, and the fuel of both sides was about to run out due to the long maneuvering flight.

The arrival of the second brigade became the last straw that crushed the camel of the army, and the plane finally could not hold on anymore and began to turn around and fly towards the Xiangde airport.

The second brigade took the opportunity to chase and kill for a while, and pursued it until Chengde Airport before returning victoriously under the anti-aircraft artillery of the other airport. In the end, less than 20 military planes were able to return to Chengde Airport safely and land.

The big victory, this is an unprecedented victory in the air. After this battle, within a month, Rehe will be the world of the Black Tiger Air Force.

Su Tong stood on a high ground, picked up the phone and said only one sentence: "The counteroffensive begins!" ”

In an instant, the 1st Artillery Brigade took the lead in sounding the horn of the first counterattack, and at this time, whether it was a 75-caliber infantry gun or a 203-caliber howitzer, it was roaring, and the whole earth was trembling. The temporary fortifications built by the army collapsed in an instant.

"My goodness, so many cannons? Company commander, you can see that such a big hole has been blown up," a soldier from Sichuan from the Eighth Regiment lay in the trench and couldn't help but exclaim.

"You fool just watch the play, where does so much nonsense come from." The company commander next to him hurriedly said, but he couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart, how big a cannon can be to make such a big hole?

Artillery preparation lasted a full thirty minutes.

At this time, three flares, one red and two green, flew into the sky, and the general offensive began.

The first to attack was Shi Haoxing's Eighth Regiment, and the Eighth Regiment, which had eaten and drunk enough during this time, was not as thin as when he first arrived in Chahar, and one by one it was like a balloon that was full of energy and rushed to the front.

Since the forward positions of the Japanese army had been completely destroyed by artillery fire, the Eighth Regiment occupied the forward positions without much effort. However, when he continued to advance, he was resisted, casualties appeared one after another, and the speed of the attack began to decrease, Shi Haoxing began to be anxious, and personally came to the position of the first battalion to supervise the battle.

The commander of a battalion was seen urgently adjusting his deployment and preparing to launch the next charge. Shi Haoxing strode over and scolded: "You fool, you won't call for artillery support, the liaison assigned to you by the commander-in-chief is an ornament!" You're such an elm braincase. ”

"Oh, why did I forget to sprinkle, I'm going to call for artillery fire."

In fact, not only the commander of the first battalion, but also other units in the country did not have the habit of calling for artillery support when the attack was blocked.

Infantry artillery coordination is very normal for foreign countries such as Europe and the United States, but it is still a new thing for the domestic army, which has nothing to do with the ability of officers and soldiers, but is limited by the lack of domestic artillery.

The liaison officer under Su Tong moved quickly, and after a period of coordination, it didn't take a few minutes to hear an explosion on the opposite side of the army position, and after the smoke of gunpowder, the eight regiments easily occupied the position in front.

Sometimes, when encountering a blind spot that is difficult to hit by artillery fire, the liaison officer will directly contact the Stuka brigade in the sky, only to see a few Stuka monsters screaming and rushing down, a few bombs are thrown, and the fortified positions of Shenma are full of floating clouds.

Shi Haoxing, who was ready to make heavy sacrifices, kept smacking his tongue, "This is a tough battle, this is simply shopping." Can this battle still be fought like this? ”

Well, today's second update. I don't know when the ban will be lifted on the first shift.

Brothers, the recent recommendation collection is not powerful, Brother Wang, support a lot
