Chapter 923: Be prepared

"Then Commander, when can we attack? You can't just spend it like this, right? Zhao Erniu said with a bitter face.

"Of course it won't be consumed like this, when the air defense regiment cleans up the little devil's air force fighters, it will be your chance to attack with all your might!" Qiao Youhua said.

…………

As the distant eastern sky was covered with a touch of fish's belly white, a round of red sun slowly rose, the sky finally dawned, and the shelling of the dragon's tooth column finally stopped.

For the old devil and his subordinates, last night was a very tiresome and angry night, the cunning and shameless dragon tooth column actually shelled them for a whole night, but fortunately, this qiē is now over.

However, as the adjutant reported the casualty figures to Chuan Qinggu, this old devil couldn't help but burst out with great anger! With a hideous face, he shouted: "Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander, and ask the aviation to provide air fire support, I will let the damned dragon's tooth column pay for the blood debt!" ”

After a while, the devil's adjutant came back and reported: "Sir, the division commander has called back, the aviation unit has taken off from Jinan Airport, and it is expected to arrive in an hour." ”

"Order, the soldiers are ready to guide the direction of the aviation, and at the same time, they must also be vigilant to prevent the Chinese army from shelling or attacking again." Kawahariya Road.

…………

However, the dragon tooth column under the mountain still did not attack, so much so that the old devil of Chuan Qinggu was greatly confused, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, the more the enemy did not move, the stronger this sense of uneasiness became, but for a while, he couldn't guess what the opponent wanted to do.

Under Qiao Youhua's arrangement, the air defense regiment had quietly deployed their anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, made full camouflage and various preparations, and waited for the appearance of the Japanese air force.

At this time, another group of baggage teams from the 3rd Division, which had been urgently reinforced, arrived and sent over the shells that had been dumped by the artillery units last night as soon as possible.

The artillery units were replenished with shells, and as soon as the air defense regiments defeated the air force of the devils, they would be able to strike again, shell the Japanese positions, provide cover for their own attacking forces, and clear the obstacles.

An hour passed quickly, and Qiao Youhua had already ordered them to be on guard and sentry dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of miles away from the periphery of the Erlongshan battlefield along the north bank of the Yellow River, and some of them found traces of Japanese fighters.

The fighters of this era are not supersonic fighters, let alone stealth, generally in order to pursue high speed, they will not rise too high, plus the dragon tooth column base on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Japanese troops stationed in Jinan are often frequented, bullying the dragon tooth column units have not yet been equipped with standard air defense units.

The existing air defense force is not enough to cover the entire base area of more than 1,000 miles, so the Japanese fighters generally fly relatively low when they invade the base area of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

This time was no exception, so as soon as the Japanese fighters entered the country, Qiao Youhua quickly learned the news, because although the air defense weapons and equipment were not popularized, with the increasing expansion of the production capacity of the arsenal, communication radios and wireless telephones have gradually become popular.

As we all know, in the early and middle stages of World War II, the German army's blitzkrieg was invincible, and its armored forces even won more with less, destroying the British and French forces and even the Soviet army with more advanced tanks and armored vehicles than them.

Relying on the popularization and use of their radios, their ties have become closer and smoother, and the command of the troops is like a command.

As the Dragon's Tooth Arsenal, which inherited the production of German-style weapons and equipment, it is natural to produce radio stations and telephones.

After getting the news in advance, Qiao Youhua immediately ordered the air defense regiment to prepare for battle, and now the air defense regiment, because the entire column and each division must be equipped with an air defense regiment, so its number has become an air defense brigade.

And because it takes into account the air defense tasks of the base camps such as the Pingshan Arsenal, the Headquarters, and the Longya Military Academy, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns produced by the arsenal are all supplied to them on a priority basis.

Therefore, now it has more than thirty 88mm anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of 12. With a 7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, the air defense really lived up to the standards of a reinforced regiment.

About ten minutes later, the roar of an airplane engine, which was very exciting on both sides of the enemy, pierced the air and was faintly heard.

On Erlong Mountain, the Japanese position.

Hearing the roar of the familiar aircraft engine, Kawa Haruya excitedly stood up directly from the position, holding a telescope and following the sound in the distant sky.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, I saw some small black dots appear in the sky, flying towards this direction at an alarming speed.

He grinned and said, "Yo Xi, it's our fighter plane, it's finally here, damn the Dragon's Tooth Column, let's die." Immediately send a flare to report our position, and then make radio contact with Guò to direct the enemy artillery and infantry to possible hiding places for the Imperial warplanes. ”

"Hay!" A devil adjutant suddenly agreed, and immediately left along the trench.

Soon, several eye-catching red signal flares were raised over the Japanese position, and the Japanese fighters still in the air flew rapidly towards this direction.

At this time, the Japanese signal corps on the ground also contacted the fighter group by radio and informed them that the position of the Dragon's Tooth Column was at the foot of the mountain directly in front of them.

As a result, this air attack force, composed of 20 fighters and bombers, slightly adjusted its flight direction at high altitude and flew towards the area at the foot of Erlong Mountain.

In a semi-underground anti-aircraft bunker relatively close to the front line, Qiao Youhua had been holding a telescope to observe the traces of enemy planes in the air, and when he found that the Japanese planes were rapidly diving towards the place where his artillery had stayed last night, he immediately took down the phone and ordered: "All anti-aircraft weapons fire immediately, give me a hard shot!" ”

The next moment, the Dragon's Tooth Air Defense Regiment, which had been lurking on the ground for a long time, opened fire one after another, tom to......m to Dada...... Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns roared one after another.

One after another, anti-aircraft shells rose into the air, exploded violently, burst out with dazzling fires, and countless shrapnel raged with the shock wave in the air, forming a dense air defense network.

Hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns were like hundreds of fire-breathing monsters, shooting scarlet and eye-catching chains of fire into the air at a rapid pace, pointing directly at the Japanese aircraft group that was diving at high speed.

"Damn! There is an ambush! Seeing this, a devil second lieutenant pilot in the leading Japanese fighter plane immediately stood on end, and his frightened voice instantly spread throughout the entire group through the wireless walkie-talkie.

At the same time, it also spread to the ground, in the command post of Kawaharu Valley.
