The army aviation's two bombings of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal ended in failure, and both ordinary pilots who participated in the bombing mission and commanders of the North China Front Air Force were holding back their anger.

Everyone wants revenge, destroy the Eighth Route Army Arsenal, and fight for the honor that belongs to the aviation forces.

Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the 4th Mixed Brigade, it was originally a bombing operation that could no longer be normal, but in the end even the commander of the air force was alarmed, which shows how much these air forces are concerned about the Eighth Route Army Arsenal and how much they want to destroy it.

With the intervention of the commander, the bombing mission that could be completed by three bombers was simply stuffed into six bombers by him.

He wanted to be ashamed and do his part in the destruction of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal.

"Buzzing ......" Rear Admiral Yoshino waited for less than half an hour before the roar of the plane faintly came.

Then six silver-white bombers appeared in the field of vision of Major General Yoshino.

"Air reinforcements are coming! The artillery was ready, and as soon as the bombardment was over, the artillery was fired. After two minutes of artillery fire, the artillery fire began to extend. The infantry then attacked, trying to take the pass in one fell swoop! ”

"Also, transfer a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron to provide fire cover for the attacking troops!"

"Hey!"

Not long after the "boom ......", the six bombers began to move, and the explosion of shaking the ground and the mountains sounded like thunder in the mountain pass, and the ground under their feet began to tremble slightly in the explosion, which shows how powerful the heavy aerial bomb is.

Major General Yoshino was already ringing in his ears, but he did not heed the advice of his subordinates to retreat.

Stay where you are, holding your binoculars, staring at the smoke-filled mountain pass.

He hated the Eighth Route Army to the core, and he wanted to see with his own eyes how the Eighth Route Army blocking the mountain pass was blown up, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to be ashamed.

Ten minutes later, the six bombers that had completed the bombing were gone. However, the explosions in the mountain pass did not stop.

After the 24 mountain artillery guns fired more than 200 shells at the mountain pass, the thick smoke that enveloped the mountain pass began to slowly dissipate as the artillery fire began to extend.

"Start attacking!" The captain of the forward group ordered with a calm face!

This time, he sent only one infantry squad plus an infantry company of the Imperial Allied Army.

More than a hundred people, lined up in a straggler line, armed with rifles and machine guns, rushed forward very cautiously.

The heavy machine guns and mortars behind them, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, the bullets and shells did not cost money to hit the mountain filled with gunsmoke.

......The attacking troops, who were full of expectations, finally rushed to more than 100 meters in front of the formation, but the mountain pass, which was still filled with gunsmoke, moved again, and one machine gun firing point after another sprayed a dense network of bullets at the attacking troops.

"Baga, the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army in the mountain pass has not been destroyed yet! The attacking troops are finished! The captain of the forward brigade turned pale with a brush of his face, and shouted with a look of despair.

The four infantry squadrons under his command have already lost nearly thirty percent of their combat strength, and if this squad loses again, the loss of troops will be almost half.

What's more, he lost so many troops that he didn't even see clearly what the commander of the Eighth Route Army at Yamaguchi looked like, and he was confused.

"No!" The chief of staff is obviously much more sensible.

Yamaguchi's fire again surprised him, but he didn't lose his mind in shock.

After frowning and looking at it for a few seconds, he analyzed with a serious face: "Your Excellency, the air bombing has an effect, and the firepower of the mountain pass is now reduced by a third faster than just now." As long as we call in the aviation to continue bombing, the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army in Yamaguchi will definitely be completely destroyed by us! ”

"It's just a pity that there are more than 100 attacking troops on the battlefield, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Yamaguchi is still very strong, and it will definitely not be able to retreat."

Rear Admiral Yoshino ordered with a gloomy face: "If you can't retreat, don't retreat, use the wreckage of three tanks as a position, and shoot at the Eighth Route Army in the mountain pass!" ”

"Chief of Staff, continue to contact the aviation to bomb the mountain pass, aren't they going to seek revenge from the garrison regiment of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal? Tell them that the Dirt Eight Road guarding the mountain pass is the garrison regiment, and let them take out all the powerful bombs, and I will blow the Yamaguchi Dirt Eight Road into minced meat! ”

For the next two days, Major General Yoshino launched an attack on Yamaguchi with Sunset's best three-plate axe.

Aviation bombed, artillery cover extended, infantry attacked......

However, little was achieved, not only a large amount of ammunition was wasted, but two infantry squadrons were lost.

The pass, which had been lowered by nearly two meters on both sides, was still in front of Major General Yoshino.

"General, there are four machine-gun fire points in the mountain pass, and inside are heavy machine guns, no matter how the bombers bomb, they will never collapse! The sappers deduced that these firepower points must have been dug up by the Eighth Route Army directly using the premise, and unless the mountain was blown up, it would be difficult to destroy! ”

"Is there no other way to destroy these four points of fire?" Major General Yoshino asked with a gloomy face, very dissatisfied.

"Yes, blow up with dynamite packs! Plug the explosive pack in the shooting hole, detonate the explosive pack, and destroy it from the inside of the fire point! The chief of staff replied immediately.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, what kind of method is this? If there is a way to get the bag of explosives to the firing hole, I don't want the bombers to bomb the mountain pass again and again; So much of the Empire's precious ammunition has been wasted! Major General Yoshino was furious and scolded without hesitation.

The chief of staff's face was very ugly, but he still pretended to be a very useful expression and replied: "General, this is the conclusion given by the engineer squadron leader after analysis!" ”

"Humble advice, send out tanks, cover the infantry close to the mountain pass, and then launch an attack, blowing up the remaining four fire points with explosives packs!"

Major General Yoshino frowned and did not speak.

He hesitated for a full five minutes before answering: "An anti-aircraft machine gun can easily penetrate the frontal armor of our light tank for a hundred meters, then we will thicken the frontal armor of the tank, and at least cover the infantry to rush to the outside of the mountain pass for twenty or thirty meters, and then have a chance to rush into the mountain pass!" ”

"Inform the tank brigade to drape all the extra armor on the front of the three tanks, hang as thick as you can, and I'll give them half an hour to prepare!"

"Chief of Staff, you prepare death squads and explosives packs, and this time, break through the mountain pass no matter what!"

"We have been delayed here for three days, and the other sweeping troops have achieved a lot of success, but we are the only ones who have stopped moving, not only have we not achieved any results, but also lost our troops."

The largest and most sturdy machine-gun bunker halfway up the mountain. Hong Tao could no longer see the arrogance and confidence of two days ago on his face, and his face was solemn.

Chief of Staff Yang Xiong's face was also very ugly. Nearly seventy percent of the permanent firepower points were destroyed, and nearly 100 casualties made them realize that no matter how strong the fortifications were, they were vulnerable to the powerful firepower of modern weapons.

The only thing that made the two of them happy was that there were still four machine-gun bunkers left.

With these four hidden forts, they simply withstood the last three attacks of the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than 400 Japanese puppet troops!

Because of the continuous shooting, the barrels of the two heavy machine guns were directly scrapped, which shows how strong the battlefield is.

In addition to the bombs destroyed, in the last three days of fighting, a battalion and a company have already lost 15 light and heavy machine guns. If it weren't for Yang Xiong's urgent transfer of the light and heavy machine guns in the rear position, the first company would have run out of guns.
