Chapter 531: Desperate Japanese Pilot!
At the moment there is still half of the 13th Cavalry Wing left.
There are 15 more Type 97 and Type 95 tanks.
In Kuribayashi's view, more than 80 planes taking off from Beiping, at most 20 bombers and 10 fighters, could take out the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
The remaining planes can inflict a large wave of casualties on the cavalry and infantry of the Eighth Route Army, and even have a chance to destroy the heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.
In this way, the Kuribayashi detachment will be able to turn defeat into victory, and the chances of winning will be very large.
Thinking of this, Major General Kuribayashi Tadamichi regained his self-confidence.
"The order is that after the aviation unit attacks on the eighth route, all wings will immediately switch to a counteroffensive and wipe out the new regiment!"
"Cut off Li Yunlong's head!"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi ordered in a cold tone.
"Hey!"
The communications staff officer hurriedly picked up the phone and gave orders to the devil wings.
At this time, the chief of staff of the detachment walked up to Kuribayashi Tadamichi and said in a deep voice, "Detachment leader, I always feel that something is wrong?"
"Harada-kun." Kuribayashi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Harada Nakasa said: "Li Yunlong must know that the locust army has fighters and bombers, in this case, Li Yunlong is still swaggering during the day, putting all the tanks in the front attack, and the tanks on the ground are the live targets of bombers and fighters, either Li Yunlong did it on purpose, or this is a trap!"
Kuribayashi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had thought about it too, but he didn't have a clue at all.
Logically speaking, Li Yunlong commanded the Eighth Route Army to kill 7 Japanese generals and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.
The record is outstanding, and today Kuribayashi Zhongdao fought against Li Yunlong, and he didn't see anything commendable about Li Yunlong, that is, he just relied on good equipment.
However, after thinking about it, Kuribayashi Zhongdao even did a military flag deduction in his mind, but he did not come up with a way for Li Yunlong to deal with the locust army aviation unit.
"Trap?" Kuribayashi Tadamichi asked rhetorically, "What trap?"
"This—" Harada Nakasa said, "I don't know yet, but a shocking general like Li Yunlong shouldn't make such a mistake..."
Li Lin Zhongdao snorted coldly and said, "Everyone makes mistakes, and Li Yunlong is not an immortal, why can't he make mistakes?"
Harada Nakasa said, "Perhaps, Li Yunlong has a way to deal with the locust army planes."
"Do you mean machine guns and anti-aircraft guns?"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi said coldly: "This is a bit troublesome, but it is too whimsical to want to prevent the locust army aviation from blowing up the tanks with machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, this time General Okamura personally ordered to blow up the tanks of the Eighth Route Army at any cost, as long as all the tanks of the Eighth Route Army can be blown up, it is worth losing one or twenty aircraft."
In the Taiyuan Campaign, in order to blow up nearly 100 artillery pieces in the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, the fighters and bombers of the 3rd Flying Division were tough with the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and more than 110 aircraft were lost.
This time, in order to blow up the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese pilots were ready for a suicide attack.
Seeing this, Harada Nakasa said no more, as the chief of staff of the Kuritabin detachment, he had fulfilled his responsibilities.
……
The command of the new 1st regiment.
The General Staff counted the approximate casualties and results of the units participating in the battle.
….
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "According to the statistics of the General Staff, the two tank battalions lost a total of 4 Leopard tanks, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the main infantry suffered more than 400 casualties, the cavalry battalion suffered more than 100 casualties, and the jeep platoon lost 5 jeeps."
Li Yunlong's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were calm: "How many devils have you killed?"
Wang Dehou then said: "It is initially estimated that more than 2,500 Devil infantry casualties, more than 700 Devil Cavalry casualties, and most of the tanks of the 13th Wing of Devil Fighting Vehicles were destroyed."
"It's more casualty than okay!"
Zhao Gang nodded: "It's the elite wing of the Devil A Division that is defending the position
If we change to the infantry wing of the second-line division, our main infantry battalion will suffer a maximum of 100 to 200 casualties."
Although the combat effectiveness of the A Division is strong, the firepower of the new regiment is not something that the elite wing of the Devil A Division can withstand.
After the bombardment of 31 150-mm heavy guns, a total of 64 tanks of the two tank battalions pressed on it, and even one infantry wing could not withstand it.
Many devils of the 39th Wing pulled grenades before they died, and they died with the soldiers of the new regiment, which caused more than 400 casualties.
And in this battle, not even a single devil captive was caught.
The fighting will of the soldiers of the Devil's A Division is ranked first in the world.
Wang Dehou continued: "According to the report of the tank battalion, about 40 tanks were destroyed."
Xing Zhi's Chinese tone was full of surprise, and said, "The devil's tank, compared to our 10-to-1 battle loss ratio, this data is very eye-catching!"
Wang Dehou smiled: "Wrong, not 10 to 1."
"I don't read much, don't lie to me." Xing Zhiguo said, "40 to 4, not 10 to 1, how much is that?"
Wang Dehou said: "Our tanks were not killed by the little devil's tank, 2 of them were blown up by the devil with explosives, and the other 2 tanks were blown up by the devil's artillery."
Although his mistake was corrected, Xing Zhiguo's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, the battle loss ratio between the devil tank and our tank is 40 to 0?"
Wang Dehou nodded: "That's right!"
The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth were also slightly upturned, as expected, Boss Chen's products must be high-quality.
In less than a morning, it was all up to those two tank battalions to kill so many devils.
At this time, Li Yunlong had already let the cavalry, infantry, and tank battalions deploy, assuming an offensive posture.
Li Yunlong concluded that the devil would dispatch the plane, and Kuribayashi Tadamichi, who had suffered a big loss, still had most of the troops in his hands, so he should not retreat so easily.
If he, Li Yunlong, is Kuribayashi Tadamichi, he will definitely take the opportunity of air support to push back.
Li Yunlong estimated that he and Kuribayashi Tadamichi were waiting for air support.
If there is no air support on both sides, Li Yunlong will lead a new regiment to beat out all the of the Kuritashi detachment.
However, the little devil has air support, and Lao Tzu's Eighth Route Army also has air support.
And Lao Tzu's air support specializes in air support to beat your little devil, Li Yunlong raised his watch and looked at it, hoping that Boss Chen's air support could arrive in time.
Grand Master Li Monkey Jing has ordered all tank men to withdraw from the Leopard and Xiafei tanks.
In this way, even if the devil's plane arrives first and blows up the tank, at least the tank crew is safe, and after this battle, Boss Chen will reimburse the lost tank.
….
After about 20 minutes, a buzzing sound sounded in the ears of Li Yunlong and the others.
The buzzing sound became louder and louder, from far and near, judging by the roar alone, you knew that there were a lot of planes!
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurriedly raised their binoculars to look at the northeast sky where the roar came, only to see that in the direction of the rising sun, a large group of aircraft engines roared towards this direction.
At a glance, everyone could clearly see that this was a devil's plane, judging by the number, there should be no less than 80 planes.
"The devil plane is pouring out!"
Zhao Gang's expression was slightly grim, 80 devil planes were in the sky, and that sense of oppression came to his face.
If the devil's plane flies lower, the sense of urgency will be even stronger with the loud roar it emits.
As time passed, the devil's group was getting closer and closer, and Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo's breathing became more and more rapid, and their eyes were staring at the devil's group.
Although there are no tank crews in the tank, after the devil plane has blown up the tank, it will definitely look for a new regiment of artillery positions and infantry to continue bombing.
On the plain terrain, there is no shelter, even if the formation of the troops is relatively scattered, but the casualties in the face of the bombing of the devil group will not be small.
If.
At this time, the Kurithayashi detachment launched another counteroffensive, and the situation of the new regiment was greatly unpleasant.
The roar of the Devil Group became louder and louder, and in the field of vision of the telescope, the Devil Group seemed to have discovered a new group of tanks, and at the same time found that there was no anti-aircraft fire around the tanks, and there were several Devil fighters and bombers, forming a small attack formation, and swooping down towards the tank positions of the new regiment.
However, the vast majority of devil planes did not dive attack, and the new powerful anti-aircraft fire made the devil pilots dare not dive and bomb unscrupulously.
"Leader, look, Boss Chen's plane has arrived!"
Just at the last moment, Xing Zhiguo suddenly shouted.
"Where?"
Grand Master Li couldn't wait to ask in a tone, and even Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou hurriedly looked at Xing Zhiguo.
Xing Zhiguo pointed in the northeast direction: "Where is it!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang asked Wang Dehou to hurriedly raise the binoculars and look, only to see that about 30 Sabre fighters came out of the clouds in the direction of the sun, and they were rapidly coming towards the devil plane.
Behind the Sabre fighters, there were 10 more B29 bombers.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Master Li's mouth, who breathed a sigh of relief, curled slightly:
"Haha, there's a good show to watch now!"
Not long after the words fell, Boss Chen's Sabre fighter jet accelerated towards the devil's plane.
The three Sabre fighters at the front were glowing with blue light under their wings, and the pilot pressed the launch button of the 20-millimeter gun, and chains of bullets suddenly appeared in the air.
These chains were whipped like the whip of death towards the devil's plane.
Immediately, 2 devil planes were blown up in the air in the shake.
Seeing that their own planes on the flanks were smashed to pieces, the devil pilots were stunned, completely defenseless, and did not even have the slightest psychological preparation.
Although the devil pilots were mentally prepared for a suicide attack, they never expected that the attack of the Eighth Route Army would come from the sky.
However, this group of devil pilots reacted extremely quickly, and almost at the moment when the two planes were blown up in the air, they made evasive actions synchronously.
The air battle between the Sabre fighter and the devil plane is about to break out!
As soon as the devil pilots fought each other, they were desperate to find that not only were the planes on both sides not at the same level at all, but even the gap between the pilots was very large.
The average level of ace pilots of enemy planes is high, and there are many novices who have just graduated from the devil pilots.
The devils have only 20 fighters, the other 40 are bombers, and 20 reconnaissance planes.
The result was a complete abuse, and as time passed coldly and constantly, one devil plane after another was blown up in the air by volleys.
