The attackers and defenders soon resumed a fierce exchange of fire, but before the Dragon's Tooth Column could break through the Japanese position, a deafening roar of engines resounded in the sky.

About fifteen Japanese soldiers swooped down quickly towards the Erlongshan battlefield like birds of prey in the air, and then their airborne machine guns and cannons opened heavy fire on the attacking crowd of dragon-tooth infantry.

"Oh no, the little devil's plane is here again!" Qiao Youhua immediately ordered: "The air defense regiment immediately opened fire and covered with all its might!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden change on the mountain, and the Japanese army, which was still actively defending, suddenly rushed out of the trench, formed a dense and ferocious assault fire with Thompson submachine guns, and took the opportunity to launch a counter-charge against the Dragon's Tooth Guard Regiment.

The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties due to the frantic strafing of Japanese fighters, and were in a panic.

"Commander, it looks like the devil is planning to take the opportunity to break through." Zhao Erniu came to Qiao Youhua's side and said.

"Well, this wave of air attack support should be to prepare for their breakthrough." Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "It seems that the Japanese high-level still values this Japanese army very much, otherwise they would not have forcibly sent fighters to take risks knowing that we were prepared for air defense." ”

"In that case, we can't let them go." Zhao Erniu took the initiative to ask: "Commander, please approve me to take people to intercept them." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "Well, you can't let them go, but intercepting them is not now, immediately upload me and order all the departments to retreat immediately, and let the little devils break out first." Inform the tanks and cavalry to set up an ambush three kilometers away, wait for the devils to leave the fortifications of Erlong Mountain, and destroy them in the field. ”

After saying this, Qiao Youhua instructed Zhao Erniu again: "As for your regiment, after the devils leave, take advantage of the situation to capture their positions on the mountain, cut off the back road from which the devils retreat, and then send troops to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army." ”

"Yes." Zhao Erniu saluted and quickly took the order to leave.

At the behest of Qiao Youhua, the guard regiment and other blockade troops deliberately retreated, making way for the Chuanqing brigade to break through.

As for the devil's fighters, they were intercepted by the air defense regiment with all their might, and in order to cover the Kawaharu Brigade, they paid the price of three more fighters.

After successfully breaking through, there were less than 600 soldiers under Chuan Qinggu, and he took them all the way to the south, because the Japanese fighters continued to dive and strafe the guard regiment and other dragon tooth troops regardless of their own danger, so the remnants of Chuan Qinggu were able to quickly get rid of the pursuit and break through.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, we have successfully broken through, where are we going next?" The devil second lieutenant caught up with Kawa Haruya and asked.

Chuan Qinggu's mood was a little better, and he looked ahead, "The Chinese army should still chase after us, let's speed up first, get rid of them completely, and then find a way to cross the Yellow River south!" ”

However, as soon as the old devil's voice fell, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves striking the earth, and a huge roar of tank and chariot motors.

All the devils couldn't help but stop and looked forward in great shock.

I saw that at some point in front of them, several huge steel monsters appeared, and these were the No. 4 tanks that Qiao Anbang brought this time.

There are also a large number of cavalrymen equipped with German submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns around the tank, which will quickly rush forward in coordination with the tank.

"Baga, there is an ambush, we have encountered an ambush." The devil lieutenant screamed in horror, and Kawa Qinggu gave him a slap and shouted angrily: "Don't affect the morale of the army here, you are all the most elite warriors of the empire, continue to attack with me and break out." ”

At that moment, more than 500 remnants of devils, under the leadership and command of Chuan Qinggu, rushed towards this cavalry and armored ambush force.

The artillery of the tank car, the on-board machine gun and the submachine gun in the hands of the cavalry immediately opened fire, and a large number of bullets were densely rained down, and the devil soldiers fell down with screams.

Not long after, the guard regiment and other pursuing troops also chased after them from behind, and under the attack from both sides, the headquarters of Chuan Qinggu was completely wiped out, and no one escaped the net.

Relying on the fortifications, the elite of the Japanese army, which is fully equipped with American equipment, may be able to compete with the most elite infantry of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

However, leaving the favorable terrain and relying on well-developed fortifications, they became very vulnerable in the face of the combined siege of tanks, cavalry, and infantry of the Dragon's Tooth Column, no different from ordinary Japanese devils.

Zhao Erniu also took his subordinates and took the opportunity to capture the Japanese position in Erlong Mountain, killing all the wounded soldiers left behind by the devils.

At this point, the elite of the 1,000-strong Japanese army was completely annihilated, and although the Dragon's Tooth Column paid a lot of casualties, it was not without gains, and achieved rich results in annihilating more than 1,000 elite Japanese troops and 17 fighters.

You must know that the value of an airplane and a pilot is no less than a hundred ground force personnel, in addition to this, a large number of American equipment was captured, Browning light and heavy machine guns, Thompson submachine guns were not very good for the Dragon's Tooth column.

However, the Garand semi-automatic rifle may be a good research sample for the arsenal of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and with the participation of Qiao Youhua, the all-round soldier king, I believe that it is not impossible to imitate the Garand semi-automatic rifle, and even develop a more advanced assault rifle.

If all the troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column can be equipped with semi-automatic rifles, then the overall strength of this anti-Japanese division will be greatly improved, and it may be possible to launch a general battle to recover Pingjin in advance.

One of the most important results of the war, which Qiao Youhua did not know, was that after this battle, they thwarted the Japanese Army's plan to prove the power of American-style automatic weapons to its home base, the Ministry of the Navy, and to the Japanese Emperor.

This will be extremely detrimental to the Japanese Army's efforts to promote a large amount of strategic resources to the Army in order to carry out the reform of the Army's equipment innovation, and it will be unfavorable to the devils, and it will be a good thing for the Chinese anti-Japanese army and people.

After the battle, Qiao Youhua ordered the 3rd Division to clean up the battlefield, clean up the mess, and go directly north with the guard regiment, air defense regiment and tank troops, and return to the Pingshan headquarters.

Of course, Qiao Youhua also ordered someone to bring some of the captured American-style equipment, and left the rest for the Third Division, which can be regarded as a supplement to their battle losses.

Jinan, headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army.

"General, our communication with the Chuan Qinggu Brigade has been cut off, and it has been determined by the reconnaissance aircraft of our Air Force that the fierce battle in the area of Erlong Mountain has ended, so all the troops in the Chuan Qinggu area should have been killed." A communications staff officer reported to Yoshio Shinozuka.

Hearing this news, Yoshio Shinozuka's face became extremely difficult to look at, this army model unit that had condensed his great efforts and hopes was wiped out in this way, and it was conceivable how bad his mood was at the moment.
