Chapter 274: This Road Is Blocked

Throughout the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China's air power was almost at an absolute disadvantage, and the heroic soldiers had to brave the bombing of Japanese planes, fought bloody battles, and paid heavy sacrifices, although in the later stages of the war, with General Chennault's Flying Tigers, could not change this reality.

Tang Qiuli did not have an airplane, so he could only combine the strengthening of ground air defense firepower with the active air defense awareness of the troops, and create a set of effective methods to reduce the threat from the air and protect the precious lives of the soldiers.

Since the squadron fought against the Japanese invaders, the blue sky has become their nightmare, and from time to time there are demonic Japanese planes that come out of their heads, pouring evil bullets and bombs on them.

How many comrades-in-arms did not fall under the guns of the enemy face-to-face, but were killed by the demons in the air, probably only the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the ** really gave these Japanese air demons a headache, the guerrilla warfare that blossomed everywhere, Japanese planes, will never throw bombs for a dozen people, seven or eight guns, and the Japanese can't afford to toss, that bear place, there is no shortage of animals.

With the current scale and equipment level of the independent division, the future operation against Japan is destined to be the mode of operation of a large corps, and the problem of air defense has always been the weak link that Tang Qiuli is most worried about, and it is also a problem that the independent division urgently needs to solve.

Su Jingfeng did not realize how important the air defense capability of the troops would be in the coming war, because of his thinking, in the future war against Japan, Su Jingfeng's brigade suffered a big loss from Japanese planes, and his best friend, the best partner, the deputy brigade commander, was strafed by Japanese planes in that blocking battle, hit the head, and died on the spot.

For this reason, Su Jingfeng was dismissed from the post of brigade commander and demoted to deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander.

After following Tang Qiuli for a long time, Liu Tiehan also learned a lot of Tang Qiuli's methods, and the battle summary was divided into two parts for analysis, first the casualties of the troops, and then the number of enemy annihilation and results, so he was very annoyed by the undue casualties of Su Jingfeng's brigade.

The independent division is fine here, and it also caused the Japanese planes to suffer a big loss, and ordered nine artillery battles, almost annihilated, but it doesn't mean that there is nothing else to do.

The situation of the battle in the open space just now also fell in the eyes of the soldiers of Zhao Chengshou's division of the Jin army, dozens of kilometers away from the position of the independent division, I don't know that the soldier's eyes are sharp, and as soon as he shouted, the soldiers of the Jin army rushed out of the barracks one after another, and these soldiers who had seen such a wonderful scene all poured into the hillside, seven or eight thousand people, crowded into a large pile.

The three Japanese bombers that fled for their lives at the airport happened to pass by here, and in their eyes, the troops in this area were all troops of the independent division, and this place was not like the side of Xiaowutai Mountain, where there were deadly anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ground.

The Japanese pilots, who were frightened and glad to have escaped, were looking for a place to drop their bombs, and the flight drill required that the bombers should never land with bombs, and that your bombs should not be dropped on the enemy's heads, and that they should be thrown somewhere else.

Now that they have a target, the three Japanese rookie pilots are thinking about dropping the bomb there so that they can go back to the business, and when they have this opportunity, they will discuss it on the radio and drop the bomb here.

It must have been the anti-aircraft fire of the position of the Xiaowutai Mountain Independent Division, which left a strict shadow on the psychology of the three pilots, and they did not dare to dive, for fear that there would be deception in it, so they looked at the general direction, threw all the bombs down like dumplings, and then fled in a plane, and even the procedure of checking the bombing effect was exempted.

Twelve bombshells, with a scream, fell from the sky, the soldiers of the Jin Army before the Sino-Japanese War, who had never seen such a scene, looked at the iron eggs falling from the sky stupidly, and still didn't understand what was going on.

The officers with lively heads instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, and desperately shouted for everyone to disperse, and finally most of the soldiers listened to the words of the commander and avoided the disaster that fell from the sky, there was always bad luck, a loud noise, the earth shook the mountains, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the soldiers of the Jin army were shrouded in bloody rain and bloody wind.

The explosion stopped, and the frightened Jin soldiers shook off the mud on their faces, looked at more than a dozen large pits with a diameter of ** meters, and were stunned in a daze.

Zhao Chengshou, who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and wanted to cry without tears, so he worked hard in the blink of an eye, a soldier who strengthened the battalion, more than 400 people were gone, the old man, my Chief Yan, this transaction lost a lot of money, Mao didn't see a single one, and more than 400 lives were put in first, you said, a thousand miles away, what are you doing in this excitement

As the Japanese bombers returned, the battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain regained calm, and the surrounded bandits did not feel anything, but the Japanese soldiers were very sad, and in just a while, more than 30 people committed suicide.

The commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade, with more than 6,000 soldiers from two wings, was rushing to the Xiaowutai Mountain area, he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of explosions, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, these guys in the air force have never known the coordination of foot and air, we haven't arrived, rely on the fast legs, you will blow up first.

It's more than a hundred miles away from the place of pick-up, and when we arrive, the independent division will seal the mouth again, and pick up the corpse, and it's almost the same, when our infantry are all winged birdmen?

When Yamaguchi was anxious, the leader of the squadron in charge of the advance guard of the march came to report that there was a Shina army in front of him who was exercising, which was designated as a military restricted area and forbidden to anyone to pass, and there was a big sign that said, "This road is not passable, especially for the Japanese," asking for instructions on how to deal with it, is it a detour?

Yamaguchi was too lazy to talk nonsense with these junior officers with dung on their heads, he didn't raise his eyelids, and waved his hand: "Baga, open the way to the Emas" exercise? Just kidding, the Chinese army came here to exercise, obviously trying to find an excuse to prevent us from meeting Badarhu and more than 2,000 soldiers of the imperial army.

As a senior commander of the Japanese army, Yamaguchi was indeed competent, and he immediately judged Tang Qiuli's intentions, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Not to mention this small place, how about Manchuria? How about Tianjin? The army of the Great Japanese Empire, as soon as it is said to enter, this is the expression of the strength of the imperial armed forces, the government and the army of China are not helpless, the words on the sign are clearly an insult to the empire, and these hateful people will do some stealing things.

Suddenly, there was a fierce burst of gunfire in front, and Yamaguchi, who was worthy of being an excellent officer of the Great Japanese Empire, was very skilled in tactical movements, and immediately rolled his saddle and dismounted, looking for a hidden place, and settled himself first, so that he could spare his energy to observe the movement ahead.

This time it was a wing commander, panting and running over to report, when the squadron of the top soldiers wanted to forcibly pass through the Guò China army exercise area, it was blocked by the other party, the other party had a tough attitude, very arrogant, in the words, there were many disrespectful words to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, our soldiers could not bear it, and wanted to teach the soldiers of China a lesson, the other party shot and warned, and now there are five casualties.

When Yamaguchi heard this, he was furious, and he didn't know what it meant to be powerful if he hadn't heard of that army, and the Imperial soldiers who dared to stop the two wings, even dared to shoot without knowing how to lift it, and if he didn't teach you some lessons.

If you don't let it go, then hit it, and it is happy to take the slaughter of the soldiers of China as a small episode of this mission, under the order of Yamaguchi, the Japanese infantry began to move to the front, and the two artillery brigades also began to build artillery positions and calculate the firing of Zhuyuan.

Seeing that the Japanese army was busy starting to deploy, Tang Qiuli knew that the little devil was going to move seriously, and this battle could not be avoided, so he ordered the two reinforced regiments to send a reinforced battalion each, with four battalions of the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army, to quickly move to the left and right flanks of the Japanese army.

The frontal troops, quickly entered the position, and all the artillery, forming an artillery temporary artillery regiment, was directly under their own command, and after the Japanese artillery opened fire, it was immediately suppressed and then destroyed.

Tang Qiuli had the capital in his hands, and each regiment of the independent division had an artillery battalion, equipped with 38 artillery pieces of various calibers, six field guns of 100 mm caliber in the middle period, eight mountain guns of 75 mm caliber, and the rest were Type 92 infantry guns and a small number of mortars that were easy to carry.

Moreover, they all used high-explosive artillery shells produced by the arsenal itself, and the explosive power far exceeded that of the Japanese artillery, which was exactly what Tang Qiuli had repeatedly insisted on, and the intensity of ground strike firepower should be more than twice that of the Japanese army, and if the mortars scattered to various companies were hit, it would reach an astonishing more than 200 pieces.

Yamaguchi didn't know that he was facing an independent division, otherwise, he would think about it calmly, the record of the independent division in the northeast, any Japanese general would beat the drum in his heart, let alone know that it was the boss of the independent division, who was personally waiting for him, not letting him get close to the battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain, it was the main task, and carrying the Japanese army who didn't have long eyes was also something that Tang Qiu was tired of.

No matter what you say, the independent divisions are all in charge, and whenever the army exercises, they will draw out forbidden areas, forcibly break in, and deserve to be killed, and if the lawsuit is brought to Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, they will say that the Japanese are at a loss.

What's more, according to the character of the Japanese, if he is not ready for an all-out war, he will suffer a dumb loss, and if he wants to save face, he will definitely not make a noise, which will damage the military prestige of the Japanese Empire
