Chapter 159: Annihilating the Japanese Invaders
The 3rd Regiment entered the position at 1:30 p.m.
Compared with the frontal position, which had been bombarded indiscriminately by the Japanese army for several days, the left flank position fell into a strange tranquility, and only the dense sound of gunfire in the distance reminded the officers and men of the Third Regiment who had just entered the battlefield that this was a battlefield of blood and fire, and that only by destroying the enemy could they save themselves and achieve victory.
The main position was carried out by the soldiers of one battalion, and the soldiers of the other two battalions acted as reserves, while assisting in digging trenches and building fortifications.
On the defense line of more than three miles, there was suddenly a hot scene. Dai Anlan personally led the regiment, and like other company-level and battalion-level officers, he put on a standard steel helmet made in the southwest, which alone was stronger than the two central divisions of the Kuomintang. Even if Chen Cheng's 18th Division was Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, it did not distribute steel helmets to all of them. The new steel helmets in the southwest proved to be quite effective against anti-personnel shrapnel and stray bullets.
"Move faster, dig deeper in the trenches, fill up the sandbags a little more, and give me more energy."
Dai Anlan stood on the position and shouted loudly, the professional military training that had been practiced in the southwest for a long time was perfectly performed at the moment of battle. In particular, the emphasis on the training of digging trenches and building fortifications, which has been the same all year round, and more training in peacetime, has now come in handy.
In the words of the platoon commanders of those recruit companies who reprimanded the recruits: Don't think that one person will kill the enemy with one shot, dig a hiding place first, hide in a safer trench, and shoot the enemy with two legs accurately.
Like the right-wing position, the left-wing position has been dug up by the people urgently recruited by Chen Cheng yesterday, and ordinary people also have a way, hoes and hammers can also resist.
With the assistance of the engineers who arrived in advance of the Third Division, the people had already dug up half of the position, and on the basis of this rudimentary form, the Southwest Army immediately took over the further digging and reinforcement of the position after entering the position. I saw a soldier brush from the back of the marching bag to remove the sapper shovel, two people in a group, a soldier moved extremely fast to dig up a shovel of soil from the trench, a soldier is responsible for pulling open the sack, with a very tacit understanding, from time to time it is filled with a sandbag, the southwest soldier with no small strength lifted the sack for a moment, and lifted it up to the trench to become a shooting bunker.
The staff officers sent by Chen Cheng to coordinate were also extremely surprised when they saw it, compared to the slow appearance of [***] digging trenches, these southwestern soldiers seemed to be crazy, and they were quickly constructing positions with endless strength.
How did this staff officer know that the physique of the soldiers in the southwest is much stronger than that of the soldiers, not to mention the guarantee of three meals in peacetime, and the nutritious meals allocated by the army's food experts, coupled with the scientific and reasonable training subjects and intensity, after years of modern training, this army is far from being reorganized by Britain and France, and is only comparable to the [***] Central Division that adopts Western-style training.
When Dai Anlan was checking a mortar emplacement, he saw Gao Feng, the chief of staff, come over in the distance and shouted, "Why is the chief of staff here?" ”
"Anlan, I'll see how the position is being constructed." Gao Feng walked all the way just now, and the position was in full swing, and many soldiers greeted the chief of staff with a smile while working, and the style of the Southwest Army was that the officers and soldiers were one family, and there was no class gap between the officers and soldiers except for some particularly formal occasions. Just like Dai Anlan, the long-term training with the regiment has made him tanned, and many of the top trainers in the third regiment can get cigarettes from him. "Yes, the digging is very good, and the level of position construction of the third regiment is representative of the level of the third division."
Dai Anlan: "The chief of staff has won the award, these are not enough." Our army lacks heavy artillery, and will lack the ability to counterattack when faced with medium and long-range artillery fire. ”
Gao Feng nodded, pointed to the circular position in the distance and said, "The army has an advantage in terms of strength, and this kind of circular position is bypassed and played well, and with the new machine gun of the ZH31 type, the killing effect on the enemy should be very good." The broadsword and thunder should also be put more, and the army has tasted the sweetness of [***], and here is to give them a bloody lesson. The problem of anti-artillery holes, you can dig as many points as possible, and there is no way to do it when the time is pressing. ”
A circular position is different from a linear position and is a defensive method used against an enemy force with superior forces. The outermost part is the trench, in addition to the individual arrangement, there are some light and heavy machine guns, and the further you go to the inner layer, the more fierce the firepower, extremely limited machine gun bunkers and gun emplacements made of fast-setting cement. From mortars to '24 infantry guns, the denser heavy firepower would inflict heavy casualties in the battles that followed.
In the innermost layer, there is also the 31-year-old anti-aircraft gun that Chen Jun regarded as a treasure, the old habit of the southwest, when encountering the year of scientific and technological research, there will always be a surprise attack on a large number of new weapons, and this kind of high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun is one of them. Compared with this new type of anti-aircraft gun, which is almost a secret weapon, the bazooka that has been distributed to each squad has become a weapon for individual soldiers.
"The broadsword thunder has been buried a lot, enough for them to eat a pot." Dai Anlan raised the binoculars, and the position of the [***] 18th Division in the distance was full of battles, and after each batch of artillery bombardment, the army would launch a charge. On several occasions, the ironclad wagons with the Sun Banner almost rushed to the trench positions of the 18th Division, only to be blown up by several [***] soldiers who were not afraid of death with grenades tied together, in a suicide attack.
Subsequently, the middle position was again mired in repeated offensive and defensive battles.
"There are some contradictions in the movements of the army." Gao Feng put down his binoculars, and the offensive and defensive momentum in the middle position a few miles away was far less fierce than a few days ago, and the army was more like a tentative attack, torturing the nerves of the officers and men of the 18th Division. "In the battle a few days ago, the army took advantage of the aftermath of the initial battle to occupy Tianjin, and frantically attacked the position of the 19th Division, causing the 19th Division to be almost defeated. But now, they don't seem to be in a hurry to break through the Langfang defense. ”
Dai Anlan frowned slightly, "The army doesn't want to make a detour from the flank and raid Beiping." ”
"Probably not. Chiang Kai-shek was already arranging the Battle of Jinjing, and if the army crossed Langfang and did not destroy us, then their logistical support line would be completely cut off. Perhaps, after the division of the army, with one or a half divisions, we have the confidence to deal with the two injured [***] divisions and us, but we will definitely not be able to resist the subsequent arrival of the battle support troops, thus forming a large encirclement situation. I don't think the commander-in-chief of the army would do that. Gao Feng calmly analyzed, if he was the staff officer in charge of the formulation of the battle plan, he would not submit such a battle plan to the commander, but Dai Anlan's idea also made sense, after all, the army has always been known for being crazy.
"Chief of Staff Gao, you reminded me. Chiang Kai-shek's move to dispatch troops is likely to have been known to the army. Dai Anlan frowned slightly, the resistance battle may really be dragged into the battle stage. Still, is [***] ready? Was Chiang Kai-shek ready? "The army is likely to want to finish the battle in one battle!!"
"It's not good to say for the time being, the division commander and I mean that we will first defend the left flank position and wait for the opportunity to support the positions of the other two armies. At this time, the lips and teeth are cold, and the Chinese cannot watch the Chinese being completely defeated. Gao Feng let out a sigh of relief, looked at the position again, and then ordered the staff officers of the division headquarters to stay in the position, and returned to the command headquarters behind him to discuss the military situation with Chen Jun.
Tianjin, a large mansion in the late Qing Dynasty. This is the headquarters of the Tianjin-Beijing Campaign, the location of the general headquarters of the Tianjin Dispatch Army, and the command center of the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Dispatch Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori.
"Report!"
The conference room full of generals suddenly sounded the voice of the operational staff officer reporting the military situation.
"Read!" Sitting at the top, the general dressed in the uniform of the general of the army said unhurriedly, this is a very old general, Shirakawa Yoshinori, as an army general in the Taisho era, once served as the commander of the Kwantung Army and the minister of the army, and the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Dispatch Army this time can be regarded as a heavyweight of the army.
"On the offensive on the frontal battlefield, we met with stubborn resistance from the [***] squadron. It was confirmed by the front-line offensive brigade that the [***] squadron on the opposite side was no longer the 19th Division in Nanjing, but the 18th Division of the Central [***] commander Chen Cheng with a complete structure. In addition, according to intelligence, the Chinese had sensed our operational intentions and placed the greatly weakened 19th Division in the right flank position, and a regiment of the Southwestern Army in the left flank position. ”
Shirakawa Yoshino did not speak, and the generals sitting in the precarious position below did not dare to speak.
"Yo West, the Southwest Army has finally appeared." Shirakawa Yoshinori nodded slightly, from the beginning of the negotiations between the two parties, the military department had already received information, from the time they rushed to Beiping through Taiyuan, they were all under the watchful eyes of the spies and the Chinese Han Annihilation who had been bought. "The army in the southwest is not terrible, and we will use the method of capturing them to prove the strength of the emperor's [***] team. What the conservative British Army could not do, we said the Empire would do. ”
"Your Excellency, are we going to change the established battle plan?" An officer in the uniform of the Great Commander stood up and said, in this room full of almost at least major generals, this officer looked very abrupt. But it is precisely because of this that people have to pay attention to him.
"Ishihara Daisa, don't worry. According to the established operational objectives, these two Chinese divisions are in our pocket. However, the situation has changed somewhat, and according to intelligence, the Chinese side of Nanjing is mobilizing about 12 divisions to prepare to support the Jinjing battlefield. In this way, our combat plan must be revised. Shirakawa Yoshinori has an extremely good impression of this army commander Ishihara Waner, who has made miraculous achievements in the northeast, not to mention that he is the main planner of the northeast incident, and with his background in the Kwantung Army, he is also quite appreciated by himself. This time, he was seconded to Tianjin to send troops, firstly, with the help of his understanding of the Chinese [***] team, and secondly, to promote it. If the war goes well, the big sa will soon be promoted. And Ishihara did not disappoint him, assisting himself in screening and revising the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff of the Dispatch Army.
In the original plan, after testing the true strength of Chiang Kai-shek's reorganized modern divisions, the 19th Division would be destroyed and attacked, and it was best to take prisoners, otherwise destroy this formation, and severely dampen the Chinese's will to resist.
However, the results of the first battle did not meet expectations.
The military headquarters of the army is measured by the combat strength of the Northeast Army, thinking that the 100,000 troops of the Northeast Army cannot stop the three divisions of the army, how can the two [***] central divisions stop it.
As a result, under the anti-Japanese war of the Tianjin garrison commander Wang, the two divisions of the 19th Route Army rushed to the aid of Tianjin, and the army was fortified with Langfang one step earlier. It was this central division that blocked the vanguard of the Yue army. In the case of a division, although the division was severely defeated, the eighteenth division on it was always able to support it in a timely manner. The equipment and combat effectiveness of these two central divisions were stronger than those of the Northeast Army, and their fighting will was not bad; on the second day of the battle, the commander of a regiment of the 19th Division died in battle on the front-line position.
Originally, on the third day of the blocking battle, the army had the opportunity to eat the 19th Division in one fell swoop. However, at this time, the news that Chiang Kai-shek had mobilized troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the empire in the area of Jinjing came, and the pace of the offensive was suspended.
"Make sure to eat at least one division and leave one remnant. In this way, we can ensure that the elite strength of the [***] team will not be weakened, and the [***] team will not be beaten too badly, resulting in a stalemate between the emperor [***] team of the three divisions and the nearly 100,000 Chiang Kai-shek battle troops. ”
This is the goal set by Yoshinori Shirakawa!!
And after the appearance of the Southwest Chinese Army, which claimed to be able to defeat the British and French armies, a strange instruction came from the military headquarters to eliminate this vanguard regiment.
Shirakawa Yoshinori was originally planning to bypass from the flanks and surround the 18th Division, which was held back by the attacking forces, and attacking from the front was likely to be a crushing battle. The appearance of the 3rd Regiment itself was already blocking the way to outflanking the plan, and the order of the military headquarters was just so timely.
As a result, the priority operational objective of the Tianjin Dispatch Army changed from the elimination of at least one of the main Chinese divisions to the complete elimination of the Southwest Anti-Japanese Advance Regiment.
After the meeting, Ishihara was left alone by Yoshinori Shirakawa.
"Do you think that we should advance as quickly as we do in the Northeast, and form an established fact of occupying Beiping like occupying various cities in the Northeast?" Shirakawa Yoshito sat on a captured Qing Dynasty Taishi chair and looked at a copy of "Li Duanduan's Beggar Poems", which is said to be the authentic work of Tang Bohu. "Chinese culture is really broad and profound, but unfortunately, in the words of their ancestors, they are not prepared for danger."
"Haiyi, my subordinates don't dare to think about it, but they still think that it is imperative to eliminate the main force of the [***] team, form a flank attack on the Ningjin defense line, and completely pacify the area north of Pingjin." Ishihara and Shirakawa Yoshinori are similar, both have been in China for a long time, and they are both China experts.
Shirakawa Yoshinori shook his head, "Ishihara-kun, you are an imperial dazuo with unlimited prospects, and your future achievements are not under me. After all, our generation has grown old, and the future cause of greater East Asia co-prosperity still needs your efforts.
You have to keep in mind that the area around Jinjing is different from the Tohoku. If the Northeast is lost, Mr. Jiang in Nanjing will not be too distressed. Because, the Northeast is Zhang Xueliang's world, and he Chiang Kai-shek is unharmed. However, the area around Jinjing is different. From here, the empire could easily threaten places like North China, Central China, Inner Mongolia, etc. ”
Shirakawa Yoshinori walked over to the large map and drew a circle on the huge map of China with his baton, "It's very simple, Ishihara-kun, that's the whole thing." Look at it now, apart from the southwestern provinces, how much more can Chiang Kai-shek lose? A few limited areas, such as North and Central China, South China and Northwest China, were his entire sphere of influence. If these important areas were occupied, he would not be able to flee to the southwest or southeast, but to the great northwest. ”
It was only at this time that Ishihara suddenly realized that it was precisely because the empire saw this and landed in the direction of Tianjin, which not only ensured the active situation against Chiang Kai-shek's forces, but also launched an attack on several areas after accumulating strength. It was also because of this that Chiang Kai-shek could not easily lose the Jinjing area.
Originally, Chiang Kai-shek expected, or even hoped that the army would land in a certain section of the rear of the Ningjin defensive line. Expanding the expected scope again was just to allow the Yue army to occupy Tianjin, an important coastal town, as it had done in Qingdao, but unexpectedly, the Yue army would attack on a large scale, and even dare to attack the area around Tianjin and Beijing in a situation of stalemate in the northeast.
This is beyond Chiang Kai-shek's psychological bottom line.
After Ishihara left, Shirakawa Yoshinori took out a document marked top secret from a drawer and looked at it for a while before quietly burning it to ashes.
"The military department is really far-sighted. It seems that the third regiment of the Southwest Army must be taken. ”
They didn't know that the Third Regiment had quietly focused its main attention on themselves, and was still on close guard to prevent the possible outflanking of the army.
The 18th Division lost two positions in a row, and the two battalions in front were driven down like ducks, but the 19th Division, which had just left the line of fire, transferred a regiment to make up for it. Under the leadership of this group of soldiers who had experienced several days of fierce battles, the 18th Division gradually entered the state. Chen Cheng was also furious, and the two battalion commanders who led the team were dealt with by military justice on the spot.
The night passed so quietly, even the gunfire in the front position was sparse, and there was a silent battlefield. The 18th Division lost more than 1,000 men, and the army was not having a good time, at least half of the brigade fell on the way to attack. I have to say that after years of reorganization, the Central Division of the Kuomintang still has combat effectiveness, at least much stronger than the Northeast Army. If there was only one division on the opposite side, it would be a near-perfect blocking battle, but unfortunately, there were three divisions and regiments on the opposite side, with nearly 70,000 troops.
Although many people don't know why it's been almost a week, the Yue army has not eaten these two divisions, but the position has not been lost, blocking the Yue army, blocking their pace of occupying Beiping, in the eyes of many people is already a big victory.
In Zhang Shusheng's view, too.
"It's strange, the movements of the Yue army are elusive, one moment they put on a posture of annihilating the [***] division, and the other time they are trying to attack."
Zhang Shusheng picked up a top-secret piece of information on the table, which briefly told an important piece of information, and there was even a photo transmitted back through special equipment, which was not clear, but it could already be distinguished.
In the photo, a port on the coast of Benhai has once again stopped many troop carriers and frigates, and intelligence says that about two divisions of troops are concentrated in this port.
"Was it sent to the Northeast, or was it sent to the Jinjing area?"
Zhang Shusheng is a little uncertain, it is possible in both directions, but it seems that the surname in the direction of Jinjing is greater.
"No matter what, the 3rd Division will have a tough battle." For Bai Chuan Yoshinori, Zhang Shusheng is still clear, the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army in history, this year was originally the last year to live, but unfortunately, he was allowed to come to Tianjin, and the assassins in history are gone, and this old thing is afraid that he will have to live for a few more years. can be regarded as a leader of the invasion of China who escaped by luck.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Shusheng gradually made a decision, picked up the direct phone, "Let Major He An of the special forces come to me." ”
There was no battle all night, the sky gradually brightened, and in the morning light, the whole Langfang area seemed to be much quieter. In order to prevent the sneak attack of the army, the soldiers of the third regiment slept in the trenches with their clothes, and there were not enough blankets to keep out the cold, so everyone was divided into two or three places and squeezed in one squad.
There were also two positions in front of the main ring position, and the front position was defended by the third company of the second battalion. Among the hundreds of people, Company Commander Hou Xiaoshan was the first to wake up.
When I looked up, the sky was almost bright, and my brother Wu Peiqiang was still keeping vigil in person, but the whole person was not standing, but the cat was in the trench.
Hou Xiaoshan put on his clothes and walked over, took out a cigarette and handed it to the elder brother, "Big brother, smoke a cigarette to go to the cold." How's it going, it's okay all night, right? ”
"Something." Wu Peiqiang first pressed him low and knelt beside him, and then took the cigarette and said something that made Hou Xiaoshan choke on the spot. "Something? Why didn't you say something earlier? I said brother, you are the squad leader under me, and I can't protect you if you have violated discipline. ”
"It's okay at night, it's just when you came over that something happened." Wu Peiqiang cautiously looked out of the observation hole left between the gaps in the sandbag, and then pointed to Hou Xiaoshan in the distance and said, "Look at it." ”
Hou Xiaoshan raised his eyes and found out about the situation on the spot, "Damn, there are scouts peeking at us with binoculars." ”
"It could also be a sniper." Wu Peiqiang said with a solemn expression, while picking up a sniper rifle beside him, what is unimaginable is that this Wu Peiqiang, who is not a squad leader for many years, is not a good person because of insufficient culture, is too honest and unsuitable for managing people, and has been mixed for many years and is only a squad leader, or the number one sharpshooter in the third company, no, it should be said that he is a qualified sniper.
He doesn't know how to calculate the direction of the wind, he calculates this way and that, this boss who only has a primary school education, will only shoot by feeling. Just as he can shoot rockets into the fortifications a hundred meters away by feeling, it is amazing.
This firing position was specially made by him, different from the rifle firing position of other soldiers, this sniper position is more complicated, there are several observation holes alone, and on the sandbag, he cut a groove, just put the rifle in, leaving only the muzzle to turn. Hidden, very hidden.
Half-ranging, leaning on the sniper scope on his rifle, he figured out the situation on the other side, "It's a few officers who are observing the terrain." Xiaoqiang, what should I do? ”
"Hit, as long as you can confirm that it's me, hit him and say it." Hou Xiaoshan is different from Wu Peiqiang, after he finished primary and middle school in Lishuping New Town, he was admitted to the Kunming Army School, which is considered a professional background, but he went to the lowest level with this cousin who grew up with him and vowed to enlist in the army as a soldier and an officer, starting from a small soldier. Many years have passed, Wu Peiqiang stopped at the squad leader, but Hou Xiaoshan became the company commander.
Although Wu Peiqiang is a little honest, he also has a very deep hatred for himself, "The dog said, there is a menstrual flag on the bucket motorcycle, not who I am." ”
"Hit, you pick one to fight."
Wu Peiqiang nodded, and the person on the other side didn't realize that he had entered the sniper scope of the Chinese sniper, in their opinion, this distance of more than 800 meters, after the rifle hit this distance, it is estimated that it can deviate by one or two meters. Moreover, it is early in the morning.
"Xiaoshan, brother picked the best clothes. I was dazzled by a lot of things on this dog's clothes, so I hit him. ”
"Okay, just hit this." Hou Xiaoshan understands, his clothes are dazzling, it is the reflection under the morning light that enters the sniper scope, and the officer on the other side is at least afraid that he is above the squad leader.
"Bang!" A gunshot opened the offensive and defensive prelude to the left flank position.
Wu Peiqiang confirmed that he had killed a shiny military officer, but the body was snatched away by the other party's military motorcycle with a bucket fighter.
Thirty minutes later, the sound of artillery was heard from both the frontal and right flank positions in the center, and although it was not violent, it again mobilized the nerves of the defenders in both places, and a new day of fighting began.
However, this was not destined to be a repetitive offensive and defensive battle, because the army actually focused its attack on the left flank, and it was not an outflanking and roundabout attack at all, but a fierce artillery bombardment.
"Whew! ……”
When the first strange whistling sound came, the soldiers of all three regiments subconsciously looked for cover, this sound was so familiar, in the past, when the exercise and training, I didn't know how many artillery guns had to be fired every day, all of them flew over the heads of the troops. Hearing the whistling of such shells here, it proves that the Japanese army has opened fire on the position.
"Concealment, shelling!!"
Before the words fell, a dense number of shells exploded in front and behind the position, and in less than three minutes, the second batch of corrected shells flew from the artillery position.
"Boom!! Rumble!! Shout! Rumble!! ……”
Violent explosions were heard from time to time on the position, and a considerable number of officers and veterans of the 3rd Division had participated in the battle against the British and French forces several years earlier. It has to be said that at this time, the artillery fire of the Japanese army was much fiercer than that of the British. The unfortunate British, the artillery positions were given a little name by the Southwest Air Force, but unfortunately, at this time, the Southwest Air Force was thousands of miles away.
"Damn, blow it up, I don't believe in the devil who said the dog doesn't rush over." Hou Xiaoshan leaned over and hid in the individual anti-artillery hole on the inside of the trench, dodging the earth-shattering sound of artillery outside. I have to say that this kind of trial-and-tested individual anti-artillery hole and multi-person anti-artillery hole has a very good effect, and the thick soil is compacted, as long as it is not directly hit by the shell, at most it will be dizzy.
The imaginary protracted shelling did not last long, and after two rounds of shelling, the position was strangely quiet. The army is about to attack.
The losses in the positions were not great, except for the fact that some trenches were blown down and some ring fortifications were blown up, the casualties were not significant. Except for the soldiers in the front two trenches who hid in individual artillery holes, the soldiers of the three regiments deployed in batches in the back had already taken refuge in the artillery pits or in the anti-artillery holes on the back of the hill.
"Quick, get into position!! Get ready to shoot!! ”
In the circular position, Zhu Peitong, the battalion commander of the fire battalion directly under the regimental headquarters, was shouting an order, and the soldiers quickly entered the position and raised heavy firepower such as antiaircraft guns and mortars, while some tried to urgently repair the few weapons and equipment that had been blown up to see if they could be used again after replacing a few standard parts.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after the fire battalion was in position, more than a dozen planes flew in the air. Compared with the take-off and landing capabilities of the two aircraft carriers of the Yue Army, it was already very reluctant for twenty or thirty aircraft to attack at the same time, and a group was divided to bombard the positions of the two divisions, and the others were all coming towards the third regiment.
"Anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun groups pay attention to air defense!!"
The anti-aircraft guns had already aimed their guns at the sky, and the bombardiers had replaced the anti-aircraft guns with anti-aircraft shells, and the anti-aircraft machine gun group was simpler.
"Hit!!"
Zhu Peitong, the technical authority of the firepower battalion, the battalion commander, looked through the scope and decisively gave the order to fire freely. Poor Japanese fighters are flying from afar, ready to unscrupulously lower their altitude as if they were bombing [***] positions, and then dive, strafe, or drop bombs.
"Bang ......"
The new anti-aircraft guns of the 31 model were the first to fire, and the shells loaded with the latest fuses flew densely into the sky, and the planes led by the army were hit with a volley explosion before they could shout a few words of antiaircraft guns.
Poor soldiers, many of these incoming planes are still biplanes, slow in flight, and lack of protection from old bombers, which first became the fireworks of the explosion in the air. The fighters of the Japanese army were more advanced and more agile, but the new anti-aircraft guns seemed to be specifically chasing these planes that had already flown close, and most of the planes that were diving.
Because the plane is swooping towards the position, the only way to escape is to raise the nose or dive over, and it is bound to be too late to turn. However, the rate of fire and advanced fuse of this new anti-aircraft gun became a talisman for the military planes, and at least five planes were shot down on the spot, and the other two were even unlucky to be hit by anti-aircraft machine guns.
As a matter of fact, even if he was careful, he would not have been so unlucky to use the high-speed dive of fighter jets to destroy the air defense position, and he bombed the [***] position for several days, and only suffered some light machine gun fire in the air, which was too arrogant. And the firepower structure of this circular position, and the dense barrage formed by the concentrated firing of the new anti-aircraft guns, were not something that the military planes at this time could dodge.
Seven planes were shot down in one encounter, and the military planes, which had been violently preparing to dive, were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled up far away, and several fighters were preparing to drop bombs again from an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. This is because the antiaircraft guns equipped by the Chinese army at this time are already relatively difficult to pose an actual threat to the aircraft at this altitude, and they can be bombed by surprise.
As a result, ...... "...... bang" roared, and the first Chinese fighter plane was fired at by two antiaircraft guns, and once again became a salute in the air.
At this time, the pilots of the Yue army finally discovered the ring fortifications in the distance, and it was obvious that the Chinese anti-aircraft guns were hiding in the ring fortifications. This kind of fortification, if there are no more anti-aircraft guns, the planes dive and bomb accurately, that is, a pile of messes, but the dense firepower of these circular arrangements in front of them is no longer something that a few planes can break through. They finally understood that the squadron below not only had a new type of anti-aircraft gun, but the gunners also had very rich experience in fighting anti-aircraft guns.
In the end, the military plane flew to a very awkward and safe altitude and dropped bombs, only a few of which landed on the position, causing minor casualties, and the rest did not know where they had gone.
There was a burst of cheers on the position, especially the anti-aircraft artillery group just now, they were even more excited, they were the new anti-aircraft artillery artillery urgently sent from the southwest to belong to the third regiment, they had only hit bomber towed target planes before, but they did not expect to shoot down several planes today. Watching the volley explosion disintegrate, and the pilot was blown up to the point that there was no scum left, even Dai Anlan smashed his fist on the table excitedly.
"This is just the beginning." Dai Anlan said hatefully, "Myself, don't think that you can really fight invincible opponents all over Asia.
The defeat of the air force did not seem to change his determination to attack, and when a dozen ironclad vehicles finally turned over in the distant hill, the infantry attack of the Yue army finally began. Of course, artillery bombardment is inevitable, and the army's specialty is a large number of artillery pieces in divisions and regiments, as well as mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and even grenadiers in wings and brigades.
However, for the Southwest Army, which has a history of nearly 15 years of modern military training, the lethality of such offensive means is too limited, and some veterans know where to hide just by listening to the sound of artillery, so that they can even dodge shrapnel that may explode.
"Adjust the muzzle, flatten, and prepare for anti-tank combat!!"
Zhu Peitong excitedly gave the order, but he was not excited, because soon, these Xiaodoudou ironclad vehicles of the Yue army would fall into the concentrated fire attack of these more than 20 anti-aircraft guns.
Poor me, the ironclad vehicles thousands of kilometers away, where would they have thought that the madmen in the southwest would use flattened anti-aircraft guns to shoot anti-tanks, and the power was beyond their imagination.
Waiting for all the ironclad cars to come out and the squad behind them could already be seen, the anti-aircraft guns finally opened fire, and the first shot was aimed at the first ironclad car.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion was extremely abrupt, and the army relied on the ironclad car that had bullied the Kuomintang division for several days, and was blown into countless parts at a loss.
A massacre of backward ironclad car squads with new weapons and new means of warfare began!!
(To be continued)
