"Hey, Boss Li calls the pigeon, Boss Li calls the pigeon."

Li Yunlong continued to call.

"The pigeon received, please speak!"

After only calling twice, the pilot's voice came from the earpiece, and his tone was a little cold, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang couldn't help but look slightly happy when they heard this voice.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with the microphone: "Boss Li needs support." ”

The voice of the pigeon came again: "The group will arrive in the target airspace in five minutes, please mark the target with red smoke grenades!" ”

"Boss Li received!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong immediately adjusted the channel and wavelength and entered the radio channels of Lu Yingjun and the various mountain artillery positions.

"Attention units, attention units!"

"Five minutes later, fire a red smoke grenade at the enemy's location."

"Five minutes later, fire a red smoke grenade at the enemy's location."

Afraid that the units would not hear clearly, Li Yunlong repeated the order twice aloud.

"Hole two received!"

"Cave Three received!"

"Hole four received!"

Immediately afterwards, the voices of Lu Yingjun, Wang Chengzhu, and Cao Sanlian sounded in the radio earpiece.

After hanging up the call, Li Yunlong found that Chu Yunfei was looking at him with a shocked face.

Chu Yunfei asked in disbelief: "Brother Yunlong, if I heard it correctly, brother, you just now... Is calling for air support? ”

In the past, the Jin Sui army was equipped with aircraft, and several airfields were built in Shanxi.

It's just that as soon as the devil came, the plane of the Jin Suijun was quickly destroyed by the devil, and even the airport and aviation fuel were seized by the devil.

In the past, the Jin Sui army might be able to call in air support for combat, although the planes equipped by the Jin Sui army were very rubbish, but they could fly and drop bombs.

But now fighting with the Japanese army and calling for air support, Chu Yunfei didn't dare to think about it, even if he shouted through his throat, he couldn't call the plane.

And the Eighth Road can actually call in the air support of the aircraft, can you believe this?

Li Yunlong nodded: "Brother Yunfei heard me right, I was indeed calling for air support just now." ”

Although he was very excited in his heart, in front of Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong behaved calmly, as if this was nothing at all.

Zhao Gang said: "Let's hurry up and find a place on high ground to see how the plane bombs the devil." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "This kind of big scene is not common, we can't miss it." ”

Then, Li Yunlong turned his head to Chu Yunfei and said, "Brother Yunfei, let's go and have a look?" ”

"Please!" Chu Yunfei made a gesture, and he was also a little impatient.

Li Yunlong said: "Huzi, bring the radio intercom and the telephone." ”

Huang Erhu said: "Yes! ”

At that moment, Huang Erhu brought the radio intercom, and several soldiers of the guard company held the telephone and followed closely with the telephone line.

In the entire Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Eighth Route Army captured a large number of telephone lines, more than 400,000 kilograms, so there was no shortage of telephone lines in the Eighth Route Army.

Two or three minutes later, Li Yunlong and the others climbed to the highest point of the mountain, holding binoculars and looking in the direction of the battlefield.

The gunfire continued to roar, indicating that the fighting was extremely fierce.

A large area of gunpowder smoke rose from the direction of the battlefield, and thick smoke billowed out, obscuring the sky and the sun.

This is also the reason for the use of red smoke grenades, which the pilot cannot distinguish between targets.

……

At the same time, 3 km away from the headquarters of the new 1st regiment.

It is about 1.5 kilometers away from the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the devils.

At the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, an operational staff officer reported the battlefield situation to the brigade commander Koshii Toranosuke.

"Report to the brigade commander! The firepower of the Eighth Route is extremely ferocious, and the combat effectiveness is very tenacious. ”

"In addition, the Eighth Route is supported by artillery fire from mountain artillery positions in at least three directions, and one of our mountain artillery squadrons has been heavily damaged!"

"In less than a quarter of an hour of the exchange of fire, we suffered no less than 350 casualties, although the defense of the Eighth Route is very fierce, but at the moment there seems to be no sign of a counterattack on the Eighth Route, just to the point."

350 people, which is almost the strength of two squadrons.

In less than a quarter of an hour of head-to-head combat, he actually lost two squadrons, is this eight-way force so strong?

Koshii Toranosuke seemed to smell something unusual, this Hachiro was stronger than any Chinese army he had ever encountered before.

Could it be that the 9th Brigade is fighting with the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army, the new 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade?

Koshibu Toranosuke asked, "How many troops does the enemy have?" ”

"The enemy's frontal strength is no less than 3,000 men!" The combat staff officer replied, "But the enemy's artillery and the number of mountain artillery, there is at least one mountain artillery wing. ”

"A mountain artillery wing?" Koshibu Toranosuke's brow furrowed deeply.

Although the number of artillery fire in the eight roads can be roughly judged from the sound of cannons, I can't help but be upset when I hear this.

None of his elite brigades are equipped with a mountain artillery wing, but the Eighth Route is actually equipped with so many mountain artillery?

The 9th Brigade has a mountain artillery brigade with a total of 12 mountain artillery, and in addition to this, there are artillery squadrons under each brigade equipped with infantry guns.

The best equipment is a tank squadron and an armored car squadron, each equipped with 10 tanks or armored vehicles.

It's just that these heavy equipment were all equipped at the peak of the 9th Brigade, and in the previous Hundred Regiment War launched by the Eighth Route Army, the 9th Brigade had lost a lot of heavy equipment.

It has not been replenished.

The other half of the heavy equipment was taken away by Saburo Yoneoka, and now there are not many heavy weapons in the hands of the 9th Brigade.

The Eighth Route is actually equipped with an artillery wing, and he doesn't know if this is all the artillery of the Eighth Road, and if another artillery wing emerges, this battle will not be able to be fought at all.

After all, judging from the battle of Moshiwa and the battle of Guanjiayuan, there are now several artillery wings in the hands of the Eighth Road.

If the flying squadrons of the First Army still existed, then the aviation could be immediately called in to deal with the artillery positions of the Eighth Road.

But now the flying team deployed by the Kwantung Army to the First Army is not in place, and it is impossible to call in aviation support.

Koshii Toranosuke asked, "Isn't there any movement in the direction of Ogou Bay?" ”

The combat staff officer replied: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is still no movement!" ”

Yuesheng Tiger Nosuke's brows furrowed suddenly, there was not even the sound of gunfire in the direction of Dagou Bay, and the reinforcements who rushed to the battlefield observation group were either wiped out or were still fighting in the white-knuckle battle.

And now if you want to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army and reach Dagou Bay, with the current strength, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.

No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to rescue reinforcements.

Koshii Tiger no Suke said: "Endo-kun, immediately send a telegram to Commander Shinozuka about the situation here!" ”

"Hey!" The combat staff officer turned and walked out.

"Report!" As soon as the combat staff officer left, the voice of the communications staff officer Kenjiro Maruta sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" The more the Tiger is helped.

"Brigade commander, Commander Shinozuka is calling!" Kenjiro Maruda walked in with a telegram in his hand.

"Read!"

"Hey!" Kenjiro Maruta picked up the telegram and read it, "The 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 29th Brigade are moving closer to your department, and at most in one day, all units will rush to the area of Dagou Bay, and order your department to continue to deal with the main force of the Eighth Road, and when the reinforcements arrive, the main force of the Eighth Route will be annihilated in one fell swoop, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Army of Japan!" ”

Yuesheng Tiger's expression was relieved, as long as he didn't fight to the death with Balu.

If it's just dealing with the eight roads, it's not a big problem.

"Immediately send the telegram prepared by Endo-kun to the headquarters, and call Commander Shinozuka that the Ninth Brigade is no longer able to reach Dagou Bay, but it must complete the task of containment!"

"Hey!" Kenjiro Maruda paused, then turned and walked out.

Koshisheng Toranosuke's eyes narrowed: "Order the soldiers in front to stop attacking!" ”

A staff officer quickly picked up the telephone and passed on the battle order.

The more Shenghu no suke is ready to make a move with the eight roads to make the enemy retreat and I advance, and the enemy advances and I retreat.

If I can't win the eight-way attack, I will run, if the eight-way attack does not attack, I will confront you, and if the eight-way retreat, I will stick it like a dog skin plaster.

Isn't it guerrilla warfare, and my Imperial Japanese Army will too, and Yue Shenghu Zhisuke looks confident.

"Oh no!" The combat staff officer hurriedly ran in, panicked, "Your Excellency the brigade commander, fire poison gas bombs at our position on the eighth route!" ”

"Nani? Gas bombs? Koshisho Toranosuke's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked ahead from the observation hole.

Amid the roar of artillery, clouds of red smoke rose over the Japanese positions.

However, Koshii Toranosuke is not too worried, even if Hachiro uses chemical bombs to attack, most of his soldiers have gas masks.

Ding Ding Ding!

The phone on the desk in the headquarters rang, and a staff officer quickly picked it up and put it to his ear.

After a while, the devil staff officer held the microphone of the phone and reported to Yue Sheng Toranosuke: "Brigade commander, the forward position reports that the eighth road fired is not a chemical bomb, but a smoke bomb. ”

"Smoke bombs?"

The more Isho Tiger no Suke was confused.

What is the Eight Roads doing? Hit the red smoke bombs to scare the imperial army?

Or did the Eighth Route deliberately pretend that there were no shells and lead the imperial army to attack?

Koshii Toranosuke was guessing the intentions of the Eighth Route Army.

Suddenly.

There was a faint hum in the sky.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Toranosuke suddenly understood that a plane was flying towards them.

Well?

Could it be that the air support of the 3rd Flying Squadron of the North China Front is coming?

I didn't call for air support, did I? On the radio, Commander Shinozuka did not say that air support had been called for the 9th Brigade.

Confused, Toranosuke walked out of the headquarters and raised his binoculars to look at the sky.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw dozens of planes flying in the sky, whining like a sword in this direction.

"It's not a 96 attack aircraft, it's not a Type 97 heavy crit aircraft, and it's not a Type 1 land attack aircraft."

"There is no plaster icon on the fuselage, and there is no blue sky and white sun icon of the country of China."

"Wait, Yaga, the plane is coming at us!"

Thinking of the red smoke bomb that had just been launched from the eighth direction, Yuesheng Toranosuke's face suddenly changed.

As soon as he said that, all the devils suddenly noticed that the roar of the plane was getting louder and closer.
