The devil made a bloody investment this time, and after receiving an urgent request for help from the Ishii Wing, he directly sent more than a dozen bombers to support.

If it is said that the artillery superiority of the devils in the past made the Eighth Route Army troops with backward equipment and scarce ammunition a headache.

The devil's air support made the Eighth Route Army even more helpless.

Not to mention, the entire Eighth Route Army has not even had a single plane capable of going to the battlefield so far.

Kong Jie could send a commando team to blow up the devil's airfield and blow up the devil's plane, but if he wanted the Eighth Route Army troops to have their own aviation force, it seemed that it was basically impossible.

As soon as a dozen bombers of the devils arrived, the situation was directly reversed.

Round after round of bombs, bombing the area where the Eighth Route Army team was pursuing the Ishii Wing.

Although Shen Quan discovered the devil's plane in advance and ordered the soldiers to spread the team in time and cover it with the help of mountains and forests, several rounds of bombs from the devil fell down, and there were still some casualties in the team.

"Damn, this little devil is bullying us for not having a plane at hand."

"Let them go rampantly, go back and find out the location of the devil's airport, and then blow him up!"

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, couldn't help but scold, and then shouted to Shen Quan: "Old Shen, the little devil's plane is obviously covering the retreat of the Ishii Wing, the devil's bombing is too powerful, and our team can't pursue it now, otherwise casualties will not be avoidable." ”

"Fortunately, we are not far from the Ishii Wing now, and the devil's bombers don't dare to carry out high-altitude bombing, for fear of accidentally injuring the little devils.

"This little devil of the dog day will bomb him with a plane as soon as he can't beat it, and Lao Tzu can't swallow this bad breath."

"Why don't we arrange some machine gunners in advance, and use the trees to hide in advance, and wait until the devil's bombers dive down again, and when they reach the lowest position, they will strafe the air in unison, and if they can shoot down, one will be counted as one."

Shen Quan looked at the battalion commander with some surprise, "Okay, Lei Hu, you kid has learned to use your brains, I think this method will work!" ”

The two battalion commanders did what they said and immediately conveyed the order.

The fighters quickly carried it out, and the machine gunners of forty or fifty were close to the trunks, assisted by two people, and in groups of three, two people helped to stabilize the gun carriage, and at the same time, as ammunition men, the main shooter was responsible for firing into the air.

After the rapid deployment, it didn't take long for the devil plane, which had dropped a round of bombs, to whizz by, turn in a big circle, and then whizz again. Approaching the bombing target, the aircraft dropped altitude.

Boom –

Another round of bombs was dropped, and with the earth-shattering explosion, two 7.7 mm machine guns loaded by the plane fired at the area where the Eighth Route Army was located in the mountains and forests.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu gave the battle order in a roar.

"Hit!"

The devil used a Japanese Zero fighter.

The advantages of this type of aircraft are obvious, fast flight speed and high climb efficiency, but the disadvantages are also obvious, due to the excessive pursuit of light aircraft load, the armor is relatively weak.

When more than fifty machine guns opened fire in unison, they fired into the air.

From the perspective of the devil pilot, a dense burst of fire suddenly erupted in the originally dense woods, and the bullets seemed to be intertwined into a dense net, directly rushing towards the devil fighter flying at low altitude.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is not too far, in order to bomb accurately, the devil plane flew at a very low altitude, machine gun bullets hit it, easily penetrating the armor of the devil plane, and the bullets flying randomly can easily threaten the devil pilot sitting in the cockpit.

It's only about eight or nine seconds.

More than a dozen devil bombers whizzed past again.

After they passed through the intertwined network of more than 50 machine-gun fire, the armor of many devil planes was beaten like a sieve, and five of the dozen or so bombers that roared past had already begun to smoke, and three of them were unlucky, they were hit by bullets in the fuel tank, and they went directly to the end of their lives in the explosion, and the operating lever failed, and the pilot was killed, and he flew not far away, and plunged directly into the deep mountains, followed by a loud explosion.

This scene frightened the devil pilots, and they hurriedly operated the plane to climb quickly, out of the effective range of machine gun fire on the ground.

Don't dare to carry out low-altitude bombing anymore.

At this time, the bombs carried by the devil's plane were almost exhausted.

In addition, the Ishii Wing had already taken advantage of the bombing of the Eighth Route Army by planes, and took the opportunity to distance itself from the pursuing independent regiment and the new regiment of Ding Wei who was ambushed on both sides of the mountain road.

The devil bomber, which had completed its mission, roared away.

The wreckage of the three planes, along with the three pilots, remained forever on this desolate land.

The commander of the Devil Wing, Ishii Haraichi, who finally took the opportunity to escape the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, did not arrive at the nearest large stronghold deployed by the Japanese army on the highway line until he was shocked, and then he hurriedly ordered the casualties of the wing to be counted.

The final results are:

The Shijing United, which walked all the way to Zhangjiazhuang, was originally 3,000 elites.

In the hands of the 1st Company of the Independent Regiment and the militia fighters, that is, at the turn of the mountain and the ridge line of the top of the slope, more than 400 casualties were inflicted, of which 200 and 3 were killed.

After that, the company pursued the Independence Regiment along the way, and the first company and the militia team suffered some minor casualties, and then stepped into the final ambush circle of the Independence Regiment.

In less than ten minutes, the Ishii Wing, which had hastily responded to the battle, ordered to retreat, but the Wing still suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including more than 500 casualties.

After retreating all the way, he was pursued by the Independent Regiment, and was ambushed by a new regiment led by Ding Wei on both sides of the mountain.

The Ishii Wing suffered more than 400 casualties again, including more than 100 killed.

To sum up, the main force of the Shijing Wing attacking Zhangjiazhuang suffered a total of more than 1,800 casualties, of which more than 800 were killed.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Ishii Haraichi's face turned pale for a while.

His Ishii United team was a crushing defeat this time.

If it weren't for the decisiveness of Ishii Haraichi's retreat order, coupled with air support, the casualties of his Ishii Wing would have been far more than that.

Then, the chief of staff of the devil, who was also embarrassed, directly made Ishiihara fall into the ice cave with one sentence:

"Your Excellency, Nishimura has not received any information all the way up to now!"

Ishii Haraichi was silent, and at this moment, his original arrogance had already been completely destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

He didn't even know what kind of place the Niukou Village was and how many main forces of the Eighth Route Army were there.

Zhangjiazhuang all the way and even the main force of the wing were directly defeated, and the Xicun all the way has not passed back the situation until now.

The 500 Imperial troops, as well as the 2,000 Imperial Army, I am afraid that they are already more than lucky.

If this is calculated, the number of Japanese troops killed in the Ishii Wing is afraid that there will be an additional 500 people.

The number of dead troops has exceeded a full brigade.

More than a third of the entire Ishii Wing were killed, and more than half were killed or wounded.

……

West Village.

The specific situation is not much different from Ishiihara's worst speculation.

After Li Yunlong led the troops of the New Second Regiment to make a detour to the back, Lei Dasheng, commander of the fourth battalion, and Du Aiguo, commander of the fifth battalion, combined with Li Yunlong's troops to flank the front and rear, and after a battle that lasted nearly an hour, wiped out the stubborn Japanese troops.

At this point, the battle finally came to an end.

In the end, it ended in a crushing defeat for Ishii United and Yamamoto's special forces......
