At the same time as the Dragon's Tooth Column officially launched a frontal attack, in the city of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

A conspiracy is being hatched against the artillery units of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

"Your Excellency General, my forward observation post has basically determined the location of the artillery of the Longya Column in China, and the people of China are very cunning and have set the artillery position outside the range of our artillery.

However, they must not have imagined that we had the support of aviation. "Chief of Staff, Hashimoto reported to Kazuki Aoji after sorting out the information reported from the forward railway station.

Kazuki Qingji frowned and asked, "You mean, you want to send aviation troops to carry out air raids and bombing?" Isn't it a bit too early to make a sortie? ”

In the eyes of Xiangyue Qingji, the aviation unit stationed at Wusu Airport is the last trump card for himself stationed in Taiyuan, and now that the battle has just begun, it is about to be used, is it too early?

Hashimoto said: "Your Excellency, it's not early at all, the size of the artillery group of the Shina people is at least more than a reinforced artillery wing, if we don't destroy it in time."

Our fortifications at the front will be hit by powerful enemy artillery fire, and the losses will be very heavy.

Therefore, it is still worth sending out aviation now, as long as the enemy's artillery group is destroyed, our defense line will be less threatening, and there will be a little more hope for victory. ”

Xiangyue Qingji nodded at this time and said, "Since this is the case, then give an order to the flying squadron, and order them to take off immediately and carry out air raids and bombardment of the artillery positions of the Chinese army, and at the same time air attack the enemy's attacking troops to support the defense of our railway station." ”

"Hay!" Hashimoto bowed his head sharply and left with an impromptu order.

…………

On the frontal battlefield of Taiyuan Chengnan Railway Station, the attacking and defending sides have launched a fierce exchange of fire, dense bullets are raging on the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers who are charging Longya, or the Japanese soldiers defending in the trenches, have been shot and fallen one after another.

At the same time, at the Wusu airfield, where the order was received, eight Japanese Type 92 fighters took the lead in roaring along the airstrip, and then kept circling over the airfield.

Immediately, four Type 93 Mitsubishi bombers also glided off the runway, and 12 Japanese fighters and bombers formed a combat flight formation and roared towards the battlefield of the railway station more than 10 kilometers away.

On the battlefield of the railway station, there was a lot of artillery fire, gunfire, explosions everywhere, and everywhere you could see soldiers on both sides who were hit by bullets flying from nowhere.

Liu Yidao's infantry regiment had been attacking continuously for nearly 15 minutes, and under the dense fire interception and blocking of the Japanese army, the troops only advanced more than 100 meters.

There were still more than 150 meters from the Japanese trenches, and at this distance, they were within the absolute effective range of both sides. Someone is shot and killed almost every second.

On the sortie position of the Longya Column, the troops of the Second Division and the Third Division under the command of Zhou Dasheng and Zhao Youde had already started the earthwork excavation operation, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers dug more than a dozen communication trenches from a horizontal trench and advanced in unison in the direction of the battle area.

Just when the soldiers were in full swing and the front line was in full swing, at this moment, twelve Japanese fighters roared and showed their hideous faces from the clouds in the distant sky.

The shrill roar of the engine could be heard for miles away, including the soldiers on both sides who were fighting, as well as the commanders in their respective rear.

Liu Yidao, who was accompanying Qiao Youhua to observe the progress of the war, suddenly changed his face, looked back at Qiao Youhua beside him and said, "Commander, it seems to be the sound of an airplane." ”

Zheng Yunshan also hurriedly raised his binoculars and followed the sound to look into the air, and soon screamed: "Commander, it's not good, it's an enemy plane!" ”

Qiao Youhua unhurriedly held the telescope and looked at the sky, his thoughts were flying, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "It's not good, the devil's plane should be coming for our artillery!" ”

Liu Yidao and Zheng Yunshan's faces changed greatly when they heard this, and they exclaimed, "What should I do about this? Commander, quickly give the order for the artillerymen to shift their positions. ”

Qiao Youhua said a little downcastly: "I'm afraid it's too late, it's our negligence, although the devil is weaker than us in ground weapons and equipment, but he occupies the air superiority, and this time the artillery is afraid to suffer a big loss." ”

Zheng Yunshan said: "Commander, I have organized a general-purpose machine gun and made every effort to defend the artillery position for air defense!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, try to keep some artillery as much as possible." ”

Zheng Yunshan didn't say much, immediately turned around and quickly led the order to leave, and soon took the officers and men of the guard regiment who had been assembled as a reserve for a long time, and hurried to the artillery position behind the position.

And, after all, they were still a step late, after all, they couldn't compare the speed with the plane, and at such a close distance, the mixed fleet of devils was almost in the blink of an eye.

Eight Type 92 fighters took the lead in diving down from a high altitude, and the machine guns and cannons on board opened fire one after another, and the dense rain of bullets flew like a series of meteor laser lines whistling towards the artillery position of the Dragon's Tooth Column on the ground.

The artillerymen who were waiting for the second shelling order were caught off guard and fell down one after another, and the devil's cannon strafing had just passed, and then the four Type 93 Mitsubishi bombers roared over them, and the bomb compartment door automatically opened, throwing one aerial bomb after another in free fall.

俅俅俅俅...... Woowoowoo...... In the rapid and piercing scream, the devil's aerial bomb smashed down on the artillery position of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Suddenly, there were violent explosions one after another, and clusters of hot and dazzling fires rose into the sky, and from time to time, there were dragon tooth artillery members who were ruthlessly submerged by the blast wave of the explosion, tearing into a bloody rain in the sky.

Qiao Youhua stood in the trench of the front attack position, felt the vibration of the ground under his feet, and looked back at the flames and smoke that rose into the sky, and his mood became extremely solemn, this battle decided to be much more difficult to fight.

A moment of negligence will greatly affect the offensive ability of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and large-scale battles will not tolerate the slightest sloppiness.

Looking at the artillery position of their own side in the sea of fire, Li Yansan, Liu Yidao and others all scolded with hatred and hatred, and smashed their fists helplessly on the fortifications in front of them.

Zheng Yunshan, who rushed with the guard regiment, was also angry, and immediately red-eyed, holding an MG34 general-purpose machine gun, roared angrily: "Brothers, give me a hard beating, kill these Toyo planes raised by bitches!" ”

With his words and words, he took the lead and rushed forward, the general-purpose machine gun in his hand kept firing fiercely at the devil planes that were constantly circling and diving in the air.

The soldiers of the other guard regiments were infected by him and strode forward one after another, and the submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns in their hands began to fire into the air one after another, and for a time tongues of fire rose to the sky on the ground, forming a dense network of anti-aircraft fire.
