Chapter 218: Who Goes to Hell Section 3 Just in case

Bombing this job is definitely a technical job! It is said that the bombardiers on the bomber, those who are excellent in many subjects can graduate, what aerodynamics, airspeed, aerophysics, climatology, etc., all have to be in the middle of the subject!

There would be no satellites or anything, and there would be no laser-guided or television-guided technology, and the dropping of aerial bombs would depend entirely on the experience of bombardiers, and at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, a village would only be the size of a palm.

To plant a vegetable, you have to turn the ground and fertilize the seedlings between the ridges or something, not to mention hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs thrown down from the sky! I remember when I was a child, I filled a plastic bag with water, hid on the third floor, and saw a female classmate coming over, so I had to calculate her steps carefully, and calculated that the plastic bag was thrown down, which could ensure that it fell on her head, which was very difficult, and it would be one or two times out of ten times to be able to cast accurately!

This is only three floors high, and the devil's plane has to drop bombs at a distance of several hundred meters, not to mention those bombers that are one or two kilometers away, so the bombs are dropped several tons, and it looks like it covers the small mountain village and the surrounding mountains, and the effect is really not as good as the devil pilot said.

When the Japanese army fights against the largest corps, the use of front-line support aircraft is quite a lot, mainly because the first often fights positional warfare with devils, and fixed-wing front-line destroyers and medium-sized bombers are still very effective in dealing with improvised field fortifications, because the Japanese army in World War II, like the US army, does not have a separate air force, and the aircraft are attached to the army and navy, so the bombing and suppression of ground targets are basically under the orders of the commander of the ground forces.

In 43 years, in the entire North China battlefield, the army aviation aircraft attached to the North China Front Army was only an incomplete brigade, and about half of this brigade was old aircraft, and the new fighters were all used in the Pacific theater.

Even these destroyers and bombers, which are about to become old, are not something that can be summoned casually, and this can only be dispatched by the headquarters of the Front Army in Beiping. For example, in a battle of such a scale as the siege of the Eighth Route Army headquarters at the cross-slope of Liaoxian County, army aviation planes would be dispatched, and when Abe Norihide was besieged, there were no devil planes to provide air support. It was necessary to wait until Abe Norihide was dead, and then he sent planes to drop dozens of officers to meet the besieged Japanese troops to break through.

The Kuroda Wing has a hard background in the background, and air support is smoother than ordinary divisions or anything, and Shimizu Daisa's raid this time was personally approved by General Okamura Ninji, and naturally the Army Aviation Brigade had to fully cooperate.

Last night, Shimizu Osaku sent the coordinates of the area to be bombed to the Army Aviation Group, and the bombers and destroyers that flew over today bombed at fixed points according to the coordinates provided by the ground forces. On the ground, it was filled with smoke and dust, and the flames and landslides were gorgeous, which was very beautiful!

But the devil doesn't want to think about it, Xiaoguancheng is only a small mountain village with dozens of households, and the terrain is extremely unfavorable for defense. The courtyards of houses built on small terraces on the side of the flat valley have neither terrain to rely on nor depth of defense to the north and south, and the commander with a little brain will not put too many troops here.

What's more, the devils don't know that the well-recognizable hills and ravines under their plane are actually very mysterious, and there are many ravines and slopes that are not easy to find in the air. They weren't too far away from each other, a bomb fell on this slope, but it was separated by a ditch that was a few feet deep or more than a dozen feet, and the explosion had no effect on the place not far away!

So from the air, it's nice to blow up one by one, and make a miasma in the valley. As early as last night, Section Chief Gao had dispersed his troops to the mountains on both sides of the river valley, and nearly ten tons of bombs and so many machine gun bullets had been fired.

However, Shimizu Osa thought that the road back to the north had been cleared by bombing alone, and after giving the order to march, he did not take seriously the sporadic blockades encountered along the way, and at most sent a squad of soldiers to expel them with machine guns and grenadiers. The brigade sped up and went straight north, driven by this emotion, the search team that played the vanguard also became manic, and did not think at all what to do if the eighth road set up an ambush?

By the time the search team caught up, the Eighth Route had already disappeared, and there were dead bodies and dead horses everywhere, and the devils were stunned. If the grass is gone, why are there eight roads?

The captain of the first brigade was still relatively sober, and when he saw the surrounding terrain, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked the team that had been dragging the march a little to stop, and quickly shrank down the formation, not to go yet, and the captain of the brigade eagerly asked the wing commander on the radio to hurry to the front.

Because this captain was a little confused when he saw the terrain in front of him, they set off from here the day before yesterday and headed south, and now they are back, and the terrain they can see is too unexpected!

The fork of the Yulong River looks from north to south, it is a flat river beach, and then the soil slopes, terraces, mountain beams, and peaks that rise one after another, and after entering the river valley, it is also a river beach, a platform, and a mountain beam, all the way south to Dalingkou, which is basically this kind of terrain and landform.

And now what appears in front of the captain of the devil is two large stone cliffs and cross-sectional platforms sandwiched between the river channel, after coming from Wangtianling, the river valley like a "V" shape suddenly becomes a "concave" character in the south of Xiaoguancheng Village, and the oncoming mountain beams stretching down obliquely from the mountain, the mountain cliff is like two gates, guarding the river valley that goes north to Nanmazhuang.

When Qing Shui Dazuo rushed over, he also gasped, he didn't expect that the river was so easy to walk when he went south, but when he returned to the north, he saw such a steep appearance, but he had already given up the ring defense position in the south, and the rear guard troops at the end of the team had already passed the Wangtian Ridge, even if he knew that there was an ambush in front, he had to be hard-headed!

Machine guns and grenadiers were enough to deal with scattered small groups of eight-way attacks, but the first attack that could be organized was beaten back by the eight-way on the earthen beams, and the flanking fire from the frontal earthen beams and the eastern slope annoyed the unobstructed devils on the smooth river beach!

How to be annoyed? The Eighth Road is condescending, and the devil soldiers on the river beach can't hide, so they rush up hard, and they are attacked from both sides, and the guns of the Eighth Road are also accurate and ruthless, and they are only hit on the legs and buttocks, and they are not as good as a bullet to kill them! Can you not be annoyed by the wrecks of this battle?

There is another reason for being annoyed, there is no artillery support, the devils are used to artillery preparation, and then they go out to attack, but Shimizu Dazuo did not order the artillery units to be equipped with artillery to support the operation in the south of Xiaoguan Chengnan, his reason is very simple, the artillery has been disassembled and loaded on the mules and horses, unloaded and reloaded, and fired shells, with this kung fu, you special operations soldiers who have been training for a long time should eliminate the eight roads that stand in the way!

Special operations soldiers are also human beings, and they are not invulnerable after eating and drinking fragrant ash water, the bullets are whizzing over, and they really have two eyes when they wear them! Dozens of wounded soldiers were carried down, Shimizu Dazuo looked at the earthen beams not far away, turned around and looked at the wing brigade blocked here in the valley behind him, gritted his teeth, and ordered mortars and rapid-fire guns to be used in front!

With the bombardment, it's different! Especially the close fire of the rapid-fire guns, the sand and gravel on the earthen beams hit by the continuous shells, and not a single figure could be seen, with the support of artillery fire, the devils launched a second attack, and at the same time, the captain who commanded on the front line also ordered to block the platform on the east side with heavy machine guns, and also sent troops to attack there!

It was another bombardment and heavy machine guns, and after tossing for a long time, when the devil infantry rushed to Tuliangzi and the eastern platform for a look, there was no one! On top of the empty earthen beams, there are some still smoking craters and some improvised bunkers dug by the Eighth Road, which have already been withdrawn!

The obstacles to progress have been cleared, so you can move on, no! After crossing the earth beam, the river channel sandwiched between the two large mountain cliffs, the bullets and grenades fired from the bottom of the mountain cliffs blocked the river tightly!
