The little devil who occupied the absolute air superiority suddenly sent planes to reinforce it, and it really turned the situation around.

In the Taihang base areas.

Originally, because of the destruction of the observation group, the failure of the decapitation operation of the Yamamoto special forces, and the Japanese troops who were blocked layer by layer in the process of advancement, had no choice but to retreat.

It was ambushed by various regiments of the Eighth Route Army all the way, and the casualties continued to increase.

If this state of affairs continues, if there is no air support from the devils.

Even if these Japanese puppet troops can get out of the quagmire of the Eighth Route Army's base area, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

After the arrival of the Japanese army's air reinforcements, the devils who were originally being pursued took advantage of the air support to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

Quite a few units took the opportunity to get rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, with the help of air reinforcements and the reinforcements arriving from the periphery, the casualties of the Japanese troops who broke through from the swept Eighth Route Army were still quite heavy.

A Japanese brigade advancing from the direction of the 5th Regiment.

In the case that Commander Feng led the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to set up ambushes along the way and pursue them all the way.

When they rushed out of the base area, more than a third of them were killed or wounded.

For this reason, the soldiers of the 5th Regiment suddenly raised their eyebrows.

I remember that not long after the 412 sweep of the devils, a Japanese brigade was stunned and forced the Fifth Regiment to constantly shift positions.

A Japanese squadron could even hold down the entire 5th Regiment in positional warfare.

If it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the Independent Regiment, the 5th Regiment would have even been severely damaged by the Japanese.

When they thought of the combat situation at that time, the cadres of the Fifth Regiment were sad.

The whole regiment had only one old heavy machine gun, and a company had less than three light machine guns, and each machine gun was dispensed with less than 200 rounds.

Within a few minutes of fighting, the fighters were forced to move with their guns empty.

Like now, the equipment and ammunition in the regiment have been developed.

When the attack was blocked, three ninety-two styles and more than a dozen crooked handles appeared, and the devils were directly stunned.

"This is the confidence, if it weren't for the timely support of the devil's plane, the devil's brigade would not have been able to gnaw down if we spent more time!"

When cleaning up the battlefield at the end of the battle, Regiment Commander Feng said to the cadres with a smug face.

As the two main combat regiments in the brigade, the defense areas of the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment are not to mention.

Under the strong firepower, the advancing troops of the devils could not move an inch.

In the confrontation between the two sides, the artillery fire that the devils have always relied on did not gain any advantage at all.

In the battle between China and Japan, the casualties inflicted by the Japanese army on the side of the Eighth Route Army were mainly concentrated in the artillery fire of the devils, especially the firepower of some small-caliber but large-scale grenadiers.

In today's battle, the Japanese army has completely lost the artillery superiority of grenadiers.

When the two sides were fighting, the combat units of the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment pulled out the 50 small cannons.

The power is greater than the devil's eight-nine grenadier, and the cannonball can also hit farther, and it can even jam the range and unilaterally beat the little devil.

For this reason, the Japanese officers in command became more and more depressed the more they fought.

No superiority was achieved in artillery fire.

In terms of troops, it is not as good as the Eighth Route Army.

I am not familiar with the topography of the base area.

The Eighth Route Army also used the sports warfare, mountain warfare, and roundabout raid warfare that they were best at.

The Japanese swept away the troops on all sides, but failed to get any sweetness.

After the devil's air support came, the devil officers of all the Japanese troops breathed a long sigh of relief, how dare they stop, and hurriedly took the opportunity to slip away with the troops.

Yangquan direction.

The Japanese army quickly gathered a brigade, plus two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army, and reinforced in the direction of the independent regiment's base area through the line of communication, to meet the Japanese troops retreating from the independent regiment's roots.

The order from the Japanese command was to rush reinforcements in the direction of Niukou Village.

As a result, the Japanese army was ambushed on the way.

The firepower of the troops of the sneak attack was not weak, and there were even mortars.

The supporting Japanese puppet army could not judge for a while whether the enemy army that attacked by sneak attack was the local troops of the Eighth Route or the main combat force.

Due to the fear of encountering the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they were ambushed in the middle, and the support speed of the Japanese puppet army was greatly slowed down.

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news, specially ordered to send four additional tanks, and then drove all the way, broke through the blocking troops along the way, and arrived at the outer defense area of the independent regiment to meet the Japanese puppet army troops who were trying to break out of the quagmire of the independent regiment.

The speed of the Japanese puppet army that came over to reinforce is not slow.

The Japanese captain who arrived received the news.

In the base of the independent regiment, the communications of many units besieged by the Eighth Route Army were interrupted.

Including the communications department of the Matsuda Brigade, which also lost contact two hours ago.

The battle continued until about seven o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

In another hour, it will be completely dark.

The four Japanese brigades that originally advanced to the base area of the independent regiment, and the remnants of the Imperial Allied Army of two regiments.

With the help of air support, as well as reinforcements from Yangquan.

Only then did it break through from the outer defense area of the independent regiment.

The Japanese puppet army units that rushed out at that time, except for the Matsuda Brigade, were completely annihilated.

The other three brigades were also completely disabled.

The two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army only rushed out less than half of the regiment.

In the end, more than 5,000 Japanese puppet troops rushed out, and less than half of them rushed out.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who learned the news, was shocked at the same time, and that anger was soaring!

Orders were immediately given to let the planes, which had been reloaded with shells, go to the station of the independent regiment for a few laps.

7:35 p.m.

The manual anti-aircraft bell was sounded at the station of the Separate Regiment and around its perimeter.

Boom –

Boom –

Twenty-five Japanese Zero fighters circled back and forth over the base area of the Independent Regiment several times.

In total, more than 200 shells were thrown.

According to the direct notice of the Japanese flight team on this mission to the enemy command:

The flight team successfully completed the bombing mission of the original residence of the Independent Regiment, and blew up more than 20 targets of the Independent Regiment that were suspected to be military factories, base stations, and air defense batteries.

The headquarters of the independent regiment is stationed.

Out of prudence, the regimental commander Kong Jie, under the protection of the guard company, moved with a group of personnel from the regimental headquarters to the air defense fortifications.

In the face of the unscrupulous bombing of the Japanese army, Regiment Commander Kong was very annoyed.

At the first time he received the air defense alert, Kong Jie gave two orders:

First, the relevant personnel and facilities were quickly transferred to the air raid fortifications, and the villagers in the villages affected by the aircraft bombing were quickly moved to the air raid shelters with the assistance of the militia cadres.

Second, we must not allow the planes of the little devils to continue to be so arrogant, and the air defense fortifications used in the regiment's defense construction will be started immediately.

"Shoot me down this shitty devil plane!"

In the defense construction of the independent regiment's base area and its surroundings, Kong Jie has always attached great importance to the construction of anti-artillery.

The repair institute has also put a lot of effort into this.

As early as two months ago, the air defense infrastructure of the separate regiment had already achieved quite good results.

Needless to say, bomb shelters are fortifications used to avoid air raids by devils.

It is worth mentioning that the fire strike fortifications for anti-aircraft operations in various places hidden in the base area of the independent regiment were constructed.

There is an anti-air turret, equipped with a Type 98 20-mm machine gun captured from the devil.

This kind of machine gun is very suitable for air defense, and the maximum effective fire height is more than 3,600 meters, and in the face of the devil's low-altitude bombing plane, as long as one shot hits, the devil's plane is basically not spared.

In particular, the Devil's Zero plane, which pursues speed and maneuverability, has very weak armor.

In addition to this, anti-aircraft machine guns were equipped on the anti-aircraft towers of the Separate Regiment, which were especially used for anti-aircraft strikes.

……

Yoshio Shinozuka of the First Army Headquarters had a rare smile on his face when he listened to the report of the first half of the flight team.

But then, his smile froze completely.

“…… There was a major mistake in our army's intelligence, and the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army already had quite a strong anti-aircraft force, and they were equipped with a lot of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

"The anti-aircraft fire strike came very suddenly, and nine of our planes were hit by the other side and crashed and damaged in the Taihang Mountains."

……

Nine planes in exchange for the destruction of some base stations, batteries, and factories of the independent regiment, and Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know whether to say whether it was a profit or a loss.

I had to comfort myself in my heart, at least I blew up a lot of factories and batteries of the independent regiment.

Separate regiments.

The devil's plane was obviously stunned by the air defense forces of the independent regiment, and after retreating, Kong Jie returned to the regiment headquarters with the cadres.

"Immediately check the specific damage within the regiment."

Kong Jie gave the order, and he was also a little worried in his heart.

Soon, the first to pass on the news to the regimental headquarters was the results of the air defense fortifications in various places:

"Report to the regiment commander, we shot down a total of nine Japanese planes in this air operation!"

"Okay, well fought, after this battle, the little devils should know that our base area is not a place where their planes can come and go when they want!"

Kong Jie praised him, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is there any statistics on the losses in the regiment for this bombing by the devils?" ”

The commander of the communications company arrived, with a happy look on his face, and personally reported to Kong Jie:

"Report to the head of the regiment, the damage has been verified."

"In addition to some camouflage batteries, camouflage watchtowers, and camouflage factories that were blown up by devils, some cultivated land around our station has been affected, and more than one acre of crops have been lost."

"As for the casualties, our air defense sirens were transmitted in a timely manner, and everyone went through many evacuation drills on weekdays, so they moved to the air-raid shelter as soon as possible, but some fellow villagers were slightly injured by the flying explosives."

"That's it?"

Beside Kong Jie, the straightforward monk couldn't help but ask.

Political Commissar Li Wenjie admired: "Regiment commander, you really have you, you said that you would carry out air defense construction in the regiment, and build more camouflaged empty batteries, watchtowers, and especially obvious fake factories. ”

"The prevention is that one day the devils will carry out air raids, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today!"

"The devil was shot down by us nine planes, if you know that what you are replacing is just some empty shells used as camouflage, I'm afraid you will be angry!"

Hahahaha –

The cadres laughed together when they heard this, and the depression and solemnity brought about by the air raid of the devils were swept away......
