Chapter 363: Carpet Bombing!

The east side of the Huangyadong Arsenal is in full swing.

The 36th Wing of the Japanese Army had already reached the first line west of the arsenal.

A line of heaven is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack.

What's more, the defense line is the special service group directly under the headquarters with strong combat effectiveness.

As soon as the commander of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, Jiro Wakisaka, came up, he ordered the infantry artillery to bombard the positions of the special service regiment in the direction of the sky.

At this time, Jiro Wakisaka happened to receive a telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka:

The 2nd Guards Division was shelled by the 8th Guards and ordered an immediate attack on the 8th Route Arsenal in response to the 2nd Guards Division.

After a short period of shelling, Wakisaka Jiro immediately ordered a squadron of Japanese soldiers to launch a tentative attack.

Attacked by more than 30 mortars of the special service group, the Japanese squadron suffered more than half of the casualties before it could get close to the position of the special service group, and retreated in a hurry.

Jiro Wakisaka again ordered the artillery squadron to open fire.

The terrain here is special, and there is only one way to enter the Eighth Route Army Arsenal from this direction.

Only the artillery can finish the infantry charge, and the infantry can finish the artillery bombardment, because there is not even a detour way.

Just when Jiro Wakisaka led the 36th Wing to attack the first line of the sky.

The boss personally commanded the regiments to outflank and gradually encircle the 36th Wing.

In addition to the 2 regiments of the 36th Wing led by Chen Geng, there are also special service regiments responsible for frontal containment, 3 regiments of the reserve, 4 regiments brought by the division commander, and an artillery regiment directly under the headquarters.

The headquarters prepared 11 regiments and more than 15,000 soldiers to participate in the siege of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army.

Moreover, each artillery company of the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters was guided by special members of the Sword Squadron.

The 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was the first to attack Jinling City in the Battle of Jinling and participated in the massacre, was invincible.

Today is doomed.

……

At the same time, the 2nd Guards Division.

Although the old devil is old, he is very agile.

After he jumped into the ditch, Nakazawa Province jumped into the ditch one after another, and all the devils were hidden in the first place.

However, Kunomura Momoyo and Nakazawa found that the planes in the sky did not look like they were coming at them.

Kunomura Momoyo just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly his face changed drastically.

"It's not good, the group is going to the 5th Wing!"

"Signal Corps, use the radio talkie to make the 5th Wing hidden!"

Kunomura Momoyo roared, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes were about to split.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it seems... It's too late. ”

Nakazawa put down the binoculars and said with an ugly face.

Because the communications team had to receive telegrams at all times and stop to set up antennas, the communications team was often at the back of the line.

However, it was too late for Nakazawa to speak, not because the communications team was too far away, but because he saw that the bomb bay in the bomber's belly was slowly opening.

Kunomura Momoyo's face was extremely ugly, and he raised his binoculars and looked at the sky.

The bomber group flew right over their heads, and the bomb bay under the belly was slowly opening, which was a signal that the bomb was about to be dropped.

Just when Kunomura Momoyo wondered why some planes didn't have propellers.

After the bomb bay was opened, aerial bombs rolled out from under the belly of the bomber, and it didn't take long for the scream of aerial bombs to sound in my ears.

The 2nd Guards Division, the 5th Wing, under the leadership of Tetsuro Inokakura, is advancing rapidly towards the area where the 3rd and 4th Wings are being shelled.

Climb over the hill in front of you and cross a valley to get there.

Suddenly, Inokakura Tetsuro and the devils felt that something was wrong, why did a sharp whistling sound sound sounded in their ears?

The devils hurriedly looked up and were stupefied on the spot.

I saw countless aerial bombs above their heads, falling on their heads like dumplings.

The air also fell with a screech, and it grew louder and closer.

"Baga, lie down!"

Inokakura Tetsuro hissed and shouted exhaustedly.

However, it was too late.

When the bomber passed over the heads of the devils, huge cylindrical shells landed on the ground.

And then.

Boom Boom ......Boom

The overwhelming sound of aviation explosions sounded immediately after!

A B29 bomber has a bomb weight of 9 tons, and 30 aircraft have a bomb weight of 270 tons.

This is not 270 tons of potatoes, but 270 tons of lethal aerial bombs.

Moreover, as the bomber flew forward, all the ammunition was dropped at once, causing a shock wave and barrage on the ground.

It's like a carpet that has been lifted up from the ground, and there is no grass everywhere it goes.

This is carpet bombing.

At this time, the 2nd Wing of the 5th Guards Division was subjected to carpet bombardment.

As the aerial bombs continued to fall, a huge wave of air, accompanied by a red mushroom cloud, extended forward at a very fast speed.

The whole valley was shrouded in this wave of air and mushroom clouds.

The whole world seemed to tremble.

Some of the devils were frightened silly, and some threw away their guns and began to run for their lives.

But the running speed of the devil's legs can't run past the bomb in any case.

Countless aerial bombs were dropped along the valley where the devils marched, and the entire valley was covered with aerial bombs, and there were no dead ends at 360 degrees.

Behind the bombers, 10 Sabre fighters dived and dropped metal napalm on areas of low bomb density.

Boom boom...

With a huge explosion, a huge circle of flames, and then turned into a black mushroom cloud that spread and swept around.

Even if a few devils were lucky enough to survive in the carpet bombing, they would be dead in the face of this napalm.

First, the aerial bombs carpet bombed again, and then the napalm bombs burned again, and the entire valley where the devils marched suddenly burst into flames, like purgatory on earth.

Bombers and fighters swept past the valley and flew off into the distance without looking back, leaving only the endless flames of the valley behind.

Zhang Tianfu and another member of the Sword Squadron, looking at this scene, their eyes widened, and they couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.

This is carpet bombing in the mouth of the regiment commander, real carpet bombing!

The last time air support came, they were fighting with the devils in Dawangou, and they only heard a lot of movement, and they didn't see the carpet bombing with their own eyes.

But this time the carpet bombing, the two of them saw it.

Zhang Tianfu sighed with emotion: "I drop a turtle, this kind of bombardment, the snakes and rats in the ground can't survive." ”

Even if you are 2 kilometers away, you can feel the scorching breath on your face.

After a pause, Zhang Tianfu organized the language, picked up the high-power walkie-talkie and said: "Call the command, call the command, I'm Zhang Tianfu..."

……

At the top of the temple.

Taihang Column Headquarters.

Huang Erhu put down the walkie-talkie and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "Report to the commander-in-chief and political commissar, the devil wing that tried to reinforce has been wiped out. ”

"Beautiful!"

Li Yunlong hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Gang said with the corners of his mouth curled, and his tone was extremely excited:

"In just a few tens of seconds, the devils of 1 wing melted directly, and this battle was fought... Ha ha! ”

Haha, Li Yunlong said: "It's really beautiful!" ”

Because of the separation of two mountains, you can only see the planes in the sky from the top of the mountain, and you can't see the valley bombed by aerial bombs.

But Li Yunlong was able to imagine the scene of 1 devil wing being carpet-bombed.

As Zhao Gang said, in a few tens of seconds, more than 3,600 devils melted directly, and most of the devils' bones were gone.

More than three months ago, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had seen such a scene.

Shells and aerial bombs carpet bombing, these two big and small kings hit out, directly determining the outcome of the battle.

In this battle, at least tens of thousands of devils were annihilated, but the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were very small.

In the canyon below, the warriors are engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the devils who survived.

The devils of more than 7,000 people in the two wings have suffered heavy casualties after 40,000 shells fell down.

The attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army blocked all the escape routes of the devils from all directions.

This is an unequal white-knuckle battle, and there is no suspense in the ending.

There was a buzzing sound in the sky, and another plane was coming, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurriedly raised their binoculars to look.

This time it was the devil's plane, there were as many as 10, and the devil's plane flew by at a low altitude.

The Devil's pilot found that the dense crowd in the canyon below was twisted together, gray and yellow mixed together.

Eventually, the Devil Pilot's hand on the bomb and machine gun launch buttons was released, and the plane swept by.

Immediately, the devil plane circled nearby, looking for the location of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the mortar positions of the Eighth Route Army had already been moved, and the mountain artillery positions had been well concealed.

The devil's plane attacked the nearby fake artillery positions for a while, then flapped its wings and flew away in a northerly direction.

……

"The commander of the reporting division, the officers and soldiers of the 5th Wing, all of them are shattered!"

The 2nd Guards Division, scouts report to Kunomura Momoyo on the reconnaissance.

"Nani?"

"Is it all broken, are you sure?"

Although he guessed in his heart that the 5th Wing was over, he still couldn't believe it when he heard the bad news.

He grabbed the Scout by the collar with both hands and stared at him viciously, his fire-breathing eyes as if he wanted to eat the Scout.

"Hey!"

The scout bowed his head, his legs trembling: "The aerial bombs and incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route blew up the valley where the 5th Wing was marching into a sea of fire, and no one could survive under such bombardment!" ”

"Yaga!"

Kunomura Momoyo shook off the scout.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander."

"The immediate retreat is a priority!"

Nakazawa Province's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Retreat?" Kunomura Momoyo asked, "Nakazawa-kun, the 5th Wing is over, should the Search Wing, the 4th Wing, and the 3rd Wing also give up?" ”

"The Search Wing, the 3rd Wing and the 4th Wing can be ordered to break out immediately." Nakazawa Province: "If the bombers and fighters just now return, the division headquarters and artillery wing will also be finished." ”

Kunomura Momoyo didn't answer, but quickly found a place on higher ground and raised his binoculars to look at the valley ahead.

I saw that the valley in front of me had turned into a sea of fire at this time, and it was simply a hell on earth.

Thinking of the aerial bombs that fell like dumplings, Momoyo Kunomura couldn't help but shudder.

"Nakazawa-kun, immediately prepare a telegram and report the situation here to Commander Shinozuka."

"Then order the Search Wing, the 4th Wing, and the 3rd Wing to break out immediately!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly, move fast!"

Kunomura Momoyo did not hesitate to give the order to escape.

At this time, the regimental headquarters and artillery wing of the 2nd Guards Division walked to the area of Nangou Village.

Zhang Tianfu and another special team member also discovered this group of devils, and there were a large number of mules and horses among this group of devils.

He immediately used a high-power walkie-talkie to report to Li Yunlong, and found that the artillery wing suspected of being a devil was fleeing.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered the cavalry that had cut off the devil's retreat in Gujia Village to leave two cavalry companies to continue to break off, and the cavalry battalion of the new regiment and the cavalry regiment of the brigade went to pursue the fleeing devil artillery wing.
