"Yaga, order all planes to retreat at once... Immediately retreat and get out of the range of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft fire..."The captain of the brigade who was forced to be helpless could only give the order to retreat. However, when he took the remaining planes out of the range of fire of the air defense forces, he was shocked to find that the 36 planes he had brought with him were now less than one-third of the reinforcements. More importantly, two of the remaining 11 planes were seriously injured, and I don't know if they can fly back to Shijiazhuang Airport..."Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, and it has concealed so many air defense weapons. The captain almost wanted to cry without tears, and scolded loudly into the microphone to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Captain, may I ask if the troops will return immediately, the fuel we are carrying is almost insufficient, if we don't return immediately, we will not be able to return to Shijiazhuang Airport..." However, less than half a minute later, the voice of the deputy captain came from the earphones that were still silent just now.

"Nani..."After listening to the deputy captain's report, the captain quickly looked at the indicator light in front of him. Sure enough, the plane's fuel was only enough to return home, and if it did not return immediately, the only remaining planes of our own air brigade might eventually fall down, and eventually end up in danger of annihilation.

"Baga, order all squadrons to return immediately, return immediately..." Without any hesitation, he immediately put the order to return to each squadron leader with the microphone next to his mouth.

A huge roar sounded, and the remaining planes of the little devils quickly circled over the heads of the soldiers, and under the leadership of the captain of the army, they flew back in the direction of Shijiazhuang.

"Hooray... Banzai... Hooray..."Looking at the military planes that disappeared from his field of vision, at the foot of the mountain, several planes exploded after falling, and the wreckage of the plane was still burning with raging flames. On the various air defense positions, the earth-shattering roars of the fighters immediately sounded, which was used to vent the excitement in their hearts..."Correspondent, immediately report to Commander Wang and report the results and losses of our air defense units..." Liu Hao, the supreme commander of the entire air defense force and political commissar of the air defense brigade of the military region, was also full of excitement. Facing the communications staff officer behind him, he ordered loudly. At the same time, he handed a battle report that had just been counted in his hand to the communications staff officer behind him.

"Yes, political commissar, I'll send a report right away..." The communications staff officer took the battle report and ran to the place where the command post of the air defense force was located with excitement on his face... At this moment, Wang Nanhu, commander of the Third Division, and Chen Revolution, political commissar, were standing in the mountains about a dozen miles away from the artillery position, and their eyes were also unblinking at the fierce air battle that had just begun. With the heavy losses of the military plane, they fled in the direction of Shijiazhuang in embarrassment, and several people were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes... In their eyes, the plane of the little devil is almost impossible for their own troops to defeat. Because, every time the troops encountered the little devil's plane, they either quickly burrowed into the mountains, or suffered heavy losses under the wanton bombardment of the little devil's plane. Today, however, the two regiments of the air defense brigade have beaten a whole aviation brigade all over the ground, suffered heavy losses, and finally fled. This could not but shock and surprise these infantry commanders. Shocked by the combat effectiveness of the air defense forces, and at the same time proud of the fact that their own military region has such a strong force.

"Report to the commander, the telegram sent by the political commissar of the air defense brigade..." Just when several people were stunned, the communications staff officer of the military subdivision headquarters, holding a telegram, ran to several people with excitement on his face, and reported loudly.

"Hehe, Lao Chen, is this Wang political commissar quite fast, just after the battle ended, the telegram came. I just like it, though. Staff Officer Zhang, read..."Looking at the communications staff officer in front of him with an excited face, Commander Wang Nanhu smiled at Chen Revolution, the political commissar beside him, and ordered loudly.

"Yes, commander, commissar ... After half an hour of heroic fighting, the two regiments of our air defense brigade have achieved tremendous results in shooting down 25 Chinese military planes and damaging 2 planes. At the same time, our air defense brigade lost a total of 26 heavy machine guns and 6 anti-aircraft machine guns in this battle, lost 128 fighters and seriously wounded 59 people. Wang Hao, political commissar of the air defense brigade of the military region..."

"Good, well played. I immediately sent a telegram back to Political Commissar Wang to congratulate them on their great victory, and when the time comes, I will personally ask the commander to give them credit. At the same time, the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment were ordered to help the fighters of the Air Defense Brigade, transfer the wounded and all kinds of heavy equipment, and immediately call back..."

Until this moment, the encirclement and annihilation of the 14th Division of the Chinese Army by the entire Third Division officially came to an end. As for the 14th Division of the Yue Army, it was in the hands of the Reading Division, which completely completed his journey and became a piece of history of the General Army. However, at the same time when the 14th Division of the Yue Army was completely annihilated, more than 20,000 troops assembled on the plateau of the 2nd Division also launched a fierce attack at the same time against the 109th Division of the Yue Army, which had been advancing all the way and had barely encountered any resistance. Another huge battle was fought in the vast mountains of northern Jin....

With more than 20,000 little devils of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, with a large amount of heavy equipment, they rushed into the mountains in a daze. Gao Yuan, the commander of the 2nd Division, who was the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign, did not hesitate. Orders were immediately given to the various units to encircle. As a result, after the entire main division of the Yue Army entered the mountains, around them, it had slowly become a huge encirclement composed of more than 20,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army. And this encirclement is slowly getting smaller as time passes.

However, the actions of the more than 20,000 troops could not hide the eyes of the nearly 1,000 little devils of the cavalry wing directly under the division and regiment of the army. Just when the entire encirclement was just formed, the cavalry wing, which was patrolling and guarding around the entire division, noticed a trace of abnormality. After expanding the scope of reconnaissance, he was surprised to find that his 109th Division was completely surrounded by countless troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency the Commander of the Division, an emergency...", Yamazaki Nakasa, the commander of the cavalry wing who got this shocking news, did not dare to slack off. Immediately, in the shortest possible time, he came to the front of the division commander, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, and replied with a panicked face.

"Yaga, your soldier's is not. As a middle- and high-ranking officer in the empire, he even forgot the minimum military salute of a soldier, and Ba Ge Yalu "saw that he was panicked in front of him, and he didn't choose what to say." Wing Commander Yamazaki Nakasa, who had forgotten to salute, and the division commander immediately asked with an angry face.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander, please forgive me, I will definitely pay attention next time. In the course of our cavalry investigation, we found a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army around us, and now these troops of the Eighth Route Army are rapidly encircling our main division. According to reconnaissance, our 109th Division has been surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army..."Looking at the division commander with an angry face in front of him, Wing Commander Yamazaki Nakasa hurriedly replied.

"Nani, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army, our army has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army... Yamazaki-kun, you're not wrong, our 109th Division has more than 20,000 elite Imperial Army soldiers, and it also carries a large amount of heavy equipment. Listened to the answer of the commander of the cavalry wing, Yamazaki Nakasa. The face of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, immediately showed a look of disbelief. Then, facing the commander of the cavalry wing in front of him, Yamazaki Nakasa, he asked with a suspicious expression.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander, I guarantee with the honor of my soldier that what I just said is absolutely true, and now our army has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. According to the preliminary investigation, the Eighth Route Army troops around me have at least 30,000 people, please think twice and make a decision quickly..." Wing Commander Yamazaki Nakasa knew that every second of delay now would increase the crisis of his 109th Division.

However, for the assurances of the commander of the cavalry wing in front of him, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, who was the commander of the division, still did not express his position immediately, but quietly fell into thought, completely ignoring the cavalry wing commander Yamazaki Nakasa, who was already full of anxiety at this moment. However, at this moment, there is no time for Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka to think. Because at this moment, the artillery cluster composed of two heavy artillery regiments and a divisional artillery regiment with a total of nearly 100 heavy guns of various kinds is ready to open fire at any time, just waiting for the commander Gao Yuan's order.

"Start the shelling..."After learning that his troops had completed the encirclement of the Japanese army. Gao Yuan, as the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign, knew. If we do not carry out shelling now, the effect of shelling will be much worse when the army reacts and disperses. Thinking of this, Gao Yuan decisively gave the order to open fire.

Because the artillery cluster is located a few kilometers away along the highway, the little devil soldiers walking on the road did not find anything about the sound of the artillery discharge. However, the huge whistling sound of the cannonballs crossing the sky reached the ears of these little devils in an instant.

"Yaga, it's shelling... Shelling from there, and heavy artillery ... Boom, boom..."Just when the little devils listened to the whistling sound in the sky that was getting closer and closer, and they didn't know what to do. More than 100 heavy artillery shells have accurately smashed on the highway that stretches for nearly ten kilometers, making a violent explosion, and the stunned little devils have lost their lives in this huge explosion....

"Division commander, please hide immediately. Just shelled, according to observation, at least nearly 100 heavy artillery pieces of various kinds..."It was not until this moment, as the chief of staff of the division and regiment, that he finally believed the words of Yamazaki Nakasa, the wing commander in front of him, when he heard the huge explosion coming from the road in front of him and the huge whistling sound of breaking through the air just now. Then, he hurriedly reminded the division commander beside him, who was also reacting from shock.

"Yamazaki-kun, thank you for the reminder, if it weren't for your reminder, our 109th Division might really be in danger of being wiped out this time. Cang Maojun, immediately convey my order, the 69th Wing immediately occupy the commanding heights around itself, no matter what, to block the possible attack of the Eighth Route Army. The 107th Wing, the 119th Wing, immediately assembled to the 109th Artillery Wing, occupied all the heights around the Artillery Wing, and protected the Artillery Wing. Artillery wings, engineering wings build artillery positions on the spot and prepare for counterattacks. The 136th Wing, two kilometers behind the artillery position, organized a defense on the spot, and was sure to block a possible attack of the Eighth Route Army ... Immediately convey the order..."In the face of the constant explosions around him, in the face of the kind reminder of the chief of staff. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, did not panic at all, but gave a series of orders rationally.

In this way, although the dense shells fired by the artillery clusters, in the mountains, they continued to kill and injure the living forces of this army. However, at the sound of the division commander's order, the entire division and regiment of more than 20,000 people were immediately divided into three, and the finished characters were arranged in a staggered manner. And in the shortest possible time, a whole fortification was built, ready to be entrenched ... At the same time, with the cooperation of the engineer troops, the 109th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, which had already completed the construction of the artillery position, immediately found the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army according to the trajectory of the artillery shells in the sky under the order of the division commander, and prepared to fire back with artillery.

However, to the surprise of the commander of the artillery wing, Masasan Kurosawa, in order to prevent its own artillery positions from being wiped out, the Eighth Route Army actually scattered nearly 100 artillery pieces in ten different positions, so that the wing commander could not choose which artillery position to fire back at first.

However, under the constant urging of the division commander, the wing commander was forced to give the order to open fire. However, in order to be able to better concentrate the limited firepower, a large number of artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were destroyed. The wing commander finally decided to concentrate all the artillery fire and knock out the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army one by one. Because he believed that only by concentrating artillery fire of sufficient density would it be possible to accomplish this task, in the shortest possible time, to destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. However, he forgot that at the same time as he opened fire, his artillery position was exposed. At the same time, he had to deal not with dozens of artillery pieces, but with an artillery cluster of almost a hundred.

A roar sounded, and 36 105 heavy mountain guns on the entire artillery position let out an angry roar at the same time. In an instant, the entire artillery position was completely enveloped in a large amount of white smoke from the shelling. And the little devil artillerymen were shirtless, in front of one artillery cannon after another, and reloaded the shells at their fastest speed to carry out a new round of firing.

However, they don't know that they may only be able to fire these few rounds of shells in their lifetime. At the moment when the artillery wing of the Yue army opened fire, the artillery observers who were at the forefront had already reported the specific location of the artillery positions to the commanders of the various artillery clusters according to the design elements that had already been measured.

So, with the beginning of the artillery counterattack, nearly 100 artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army unexpectedly suddenly stopped. One artillery gun after another, began to adjust the design angle of the gun according to the latest shooting elements. In the whole process, it only took less than a minute, and nearly 100 artillery pieces were all ready to open fire..."Boom, boom, boom..." A huge roar sounded, and nearly 100 artillery pieces, which had just stopped for less than a minute, once again let out an earth-shattering roar. Nearly 100 artillery pieces located in different directions, and at the same time fired heavy shells at the position of the artillery wing of the army... A huge explosion sounded on the artillery position of the Yue Army, and the little devils who had just destroyed an artillery cluster of the Eighth Route Army were about to turn their guns and fire shells at the second artillery cluster, and the overwhelming artillery fire had already swept in. Before a little devil could react from the shock, he was thrown high into the sky by the fierce artillery fire, turning into a cold corpse or a pile of minced meat.

While the artillery received a large number of casualties, 36 heavy guns, likewise not much better. In a huge explosion, one heavy artillery piece after another, driven by a huge wave of air, broke away from the gun position one after another and fell crookedly to the ground. What's more, the artillery that was directly hit turned into a pile of primitive parts..."Yaga... My artillery wing ... Finished... It's over..."Looking in front of him, just a round of artillery counterattack by the Eighth Route Army blew his artillery position into ruins. At the same time, more than half of the artillery was in the sound of explosions and could not continue to fire. What's more, the artillery that he had worked so hard to train immediately fell into chaos at the sound of dense explosions..."Ba Ge Ya Road, don't be confused, immediately transfer." Hurry up, immediately transfer the remaining dozen or so artillery pieces to the position, otherwise, they will all be dead..."Looking at the artillery unit that had fallen into chaos. As the wing commander Kurosawa Shozo Nakasa, he couldn't help but draw his command knife, and after cutting down the two panicked artillerymen and using them to stand up, he roared loudly at the chaotic crowd...
