Chapter 664: The Vanishing Train!
Use the opportunity of air support to take out the devil's first wing?
When Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, this method was very unexpected.
Moreover, with Boss Chen's planes and fighters, it is completely possible to take away this first infantry wing in one wave.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was killed by the new regiment in the last term, once served as a squadron leader in the 1st Wing.
Zhao Gang's expression suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "In the 77 Incident, it should have been this first infantry wing, which deliberately provoked trouble under the pretext of the disappearance of soldiers, and launched an attack on the 37th Division of our army stationed in Wanping City, firing the first shot of all-out aggression against our country. ”
After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "That's right, it's the first infantry wing of this first brigade." ”
Before the July 7 Incident, before the Japanese army launched an attack, the front-line troops of the Chinese army and the Japanese army had already sensed the Japanese army's unscrupulous intentions.
However, the gap in equipment was too large, and although the soldiers used their lives, the 29th Army still failed in the Pingjin operation, and could only retreat to Baoding, Beiping and Tianjin fell into the hands of the Japanese army, and a full-scale war of resistance broke out.
"Then it's even more important to kill this first infantry wing."
Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed, and the killing intent in his eyes was even worse.
Not to mention that there is an opportunity for air support, even if there is no air support, Li Yunlong will definitely do something after knowing this situation.
The troops ranked first in the number are basically the elite of the elite, such as a battalion, a company, a platoon and a squad of each regiment, and those who can rank first are sharp knives.
Although the 1st Infantry Wing of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division did not have any dazzling achievements, the 1st Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which ranked first, was certainly not an ordinary person.
It would be a good deal to use an opportunity for air support to take out this first infantry wing.
Moreover, the 1st Infantry Wing of the Total Annihilation will definitely deal a big blow to the morale of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and it will also reduce the casualties of the new 1st Regiment.
"But ......"
Wang Dehou said in a worried tone:
"According to the information provided by Boss Chen, the devil is supplying planes to the North China Front again, and we only have one chance to provide air support."
"My suggestion is that let's think carefully about whether to save the opportunity for air support to deal with the devil's plane, or use it to kill the devil's first infantry wing."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong regretted it a little.
Killed Saburo Miura, as well as the two devil major generals of the devil observation group, a total of three devil major generals, all of which were replaced with B4 heavy howitzers.
The main thing is that when Grand Master Li saw the heavy howitzer, he couldn't move as if he had lost his soul.
As soon as he was ruthless, he replaced them all with B4 heavy howitzers.
However, Li Yunlong was relieved when he thought about it, and he could only have one chance of air support in three months, either to kill the first infantry wing, or to deal with the devil plane.
And the devil's plane may not be able to kill all of them, like the mistake of the Xinshu Campaign, Okamura Ninji will most likely not make a second mistake.
However, Boss Chen's air support is the first infantry wing that can kill the devil at once.
If an air support wants to take out an infantry wing, it needs the right time and place, and when all 4,000 people in such a wing are crowded on a train, it is impossible to find it.
When Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were still thinking about it, Li Yunlong had already made a decision:
"Our air support this time will kill this bitch's first wing."
Seeing that Li Yunlong had already made a decision, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou didn't say more.
Just take out one more major general in the fight against the 1st Division, and that's another air support, or four B4 heavy howitzers.
"Don't hesitate." Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou, "Chief of Staff Wang, you immediately draft a telegram and send it to Boss Chen, saying that we will use an opportunity for air support to kill the first wing of the Japanese infantry." ”
Since the decision was made, Li Yunlong stopped being verbose and immediately arranged it.
The devil's army train from Beiping to Datong is only about ten hours, and once you miss it, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity.
With Boss Chen's intelligence ability, he must know the whereabouts of the devil army well, and there is no problem at all in using bombers to kill the first infantry wing.
Using 30 bombers and 10 fighters to bomb the devil's military columns, a lot of aerial bombs will be wasted.
But Boss Chen's 40 planes were all dispatched at once, so there was only one chance, and there was no way to do it even if it was too powerful.
"Yes!"
Wang Dehou hurriedly drafted a telegram and asked the telegram to be sent to Boss Chen's military base.
……
Whoa.
On the Pingsui Railway, a puff of black smoke from the locomotive soared into the sky, and the iron wheels of the train made a sizzling sound on the tracks.
Mitsuyoshi Maeda, commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, looked out the window.
The military column passed by the railroad tracks, and occasionally saw a pillbox or artillery tower next to the railroad tracks, and on the top of the turret stood locust soldiers holding 38 rifles, watching the military columns, and then retracting their gaze after the military columns were far away.
Looking at a pillbox or turret that appeared one to two kilometers away, Mitsuyoshi Maeda couldn't help but sigh.
The situation inside this pass is much worse than outside the gate.
Although there were also anti-Japanese armed activities outside the Guan, they were far less frequent, and the density of defense was not so large.
However, Mitsuyoshi Maeda was not afraid, but was very excited.
As the wing commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Mitsuyoshi Maeda is not only very capable, but also the target of key training.
For example, Mutaguchi Ryoya, who commanded the troops to launch the 77 Incident, has now been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and served as the commander of the 18th Division.
The devil officers of the First Division, including Mitsuyoshi Maeda, all wanted to make contributions in the confrontation with the Eighth Route Army.
Mitsuyoshi Maeda heard that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army often attacked the railways, sabotaged the transportation of the locusts, and stoggled the railroad tracks, and even the Eighth Route guerrillas stole arms from trains, which was called the railway guerrillas.
Hmph, I hope that the Eighth Route Railway guerrillas will not run into our First Infantry Wing, otherwise they will all die.
In anticipation, Mitsuyoshi Maeda continued to move forward with the train.
"Report to the Wing Commander."
With the ticking sound of the telegraph machine, a telegraph soldier came over with a telegram in his hand: "The North China Front Army Headquarters has just sent a telegram, and there is no change in the new regiment of the Eighth Road, and there is no need to stop at the station ahead, and the military train can go straight to Datong." ”
At this time, the military train was only two hours away from Gaoyang Station, and after passing Gaoyang Station, it was not far from Datong Station.
"Got it."
Maeda Mitsuyoshi nodded, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
A new regiment...... This time, the opponent of the First Division was the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
For the new regiment that defeated the 10th Division, Maeda Mitsuyoshi did not dare to despise it in the slightest.
The railway guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army are nothing, but this new regiment is definitely a fierce enemy of the locust army.
Moreover, Maeda Mitsuyoshi remembered something, the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing were ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army on the Pingsui Railway and the whole army was annihilated.
If the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army came to ambush their first wing again, then things would be very bad.
Although Mitsuyoshi Maeda hopes that there will be eight ways to ambush, he does not want to be a new group.
Once the new regiment is ambushed, perhaps the first wing will have to be broken before it reaches the northwest of Jin.
"Order, the station ahead will not stop, and the military column will continue to move forward." Mitsuyoshi Maeda looked at the telegraph report.
"Hey!"
The Telegraph bowed his head abruptly, then turned away.
Just then, there was some buzzing in the sky.
However, because the sound of the train wheels and rails was relatively loud, Mitsuyoshi Maeda and the devils in the train did not hear it.
However, the devil machine gunners and observation posts on the top of the train quickly spotted the roaring swarm.
Dingdingding......
The shrill and piercing sirens suddenly sounded in all the military train carriages, and the devil soldiers who were resting or chatting immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
The driver of the military train began to brake sharply, the wheels of the train rubbed against the rails and made a screeching sound, sparks and lightning along the way, and the devils in the carriage fell forward under the action of inertia.
"Yaga, what's the situation?"
Maeda Mitsuyoshi Osa was shocked and angry, was he really ambushed?
But looking at the terrain around the railroad tracks, it doesn't look like it's been ambushed?
Just when he was startled, a devil soldier staggered and rushed to the front to report to him: "Report to the Wing Commander, the enemy aircraft group has been found in the east!" ”
"Nani?" Maeda Mitsuyoshi's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "How many planes does the enemy have?" ”
The devil soldier quickly replied, "No less than 40." ”
"Yaga!" Maeda Mitsuyoshi Daisa's face suddenly showed a frightened look, "Order, all soldiers leave the military column immediately." ”
"Hey!"
The devil soldier bowed his head abruptly and walked towards the telephone again.
Before the train could come to a complete stop, the devils pushed open the carriage doors one after another, ready to jump out.
However, it was too late, and the bomber groups and fighters had already moved into bombing attack positions.
Looking down from the sky, the devils are like dense ants running towards the sides of the train.
One after another, huge cylindrical aerial bombs rolled and fell densely towards the extreme vicinity of the devil army.
Maeda Mitsuyoshi was also running, and the whistling sound of the aerial bomb in his ears became louder and louder, and he turned his head to look at the sky, only to see the aerial bomb getting closer and closer to the ground.
"Baga, lie down!"
Mitsuyoshi Maeda let out a loud cry and fell to the ground.
Huge aerial bombs fell like dumplings at the devils.
Boom Boom Boom ......
As 30 bombers swept over the heads of the devil army in a battle formation, the aerial bombs also landed exactly where the devils were.
A round of aerial bombs fell, and between the landslides and the ground, a huge wave of air accompanied by orange-red mushroom clouds splashed in all directions.
The whole earth seemed to tremble, like an earthquake.
More than 300 tons of aerial bombs were thrown down on the devils, and in the continuous rapid explosions, the entire ground was lifted, and there was no grass everywhere they went.
Aerial bombs scrub the floor.
Bombers are high-altitude bombs, while fighters are dive-dropped, and with the roar of huge fighter engines, cylindrical incendiary bombs under the belly of the aircraft fall off.
Then, the black, egg-like metal napalm fell towards the ground.
"Boom, boom!"
Huge circles of flames and black mushroom clouds spread and swept around......
In fact, after the first wave of bombers dropped aerial bombs, the devils were almost wiped out.
This wave of napalm fell, and many devil corpses were directly burned to ashes, like hell on earth.
Bombers and fighters swept by, leaving only endless flames.
The bombers and fighters, having finished dropping aerial bombs and napalm, flew off without looking back.
Less than half an hour.
Nearby in bunkers and turrets. The devil soldiers, who witnessed the carpet bombing, rushed to the bombing site.
I saw that the military column I had just passed had disappeared, and the ground was full of craters blown up by aerial bombs and blackened earth burned by the flames.
The devils found a large amount of shrapnel, severed limbs, and blood-stained dirt in the pit.
Immediately, the devils immediately called their superiors to inform them of the situation, and reported it at all levels.
……
Peiping.
Iron Lion Alley.
Command of the North China Front.
Okamura Ninji and Mitsuo Nakazawa were playing against each other, while Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue were watching.
The 26th Division was in Datong and sent a large number of scouts to the northwest of Jin.
Once a unit of the new regiment left the northwest of Shanxi and went to Pingsui Road in the north of Shanxi to carry out an ambush, it would be detected by the scouts of the 26th Division.
According to the reconnaissance, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army has been in the northwest of Shanxi, and no troops have left the base area in the near future.
In other words, the 1st Infantry Wing could safely reach Datong.
The two were in the thick of each other, but the communications staff officer hurriedly walked in with the telegram, glanced at Mitsuo Nakazawa, and then bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported:
"Your Excellency Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the 26th Independent Division, the 1st Infantry Wing ......"
"What happened to the 1st Infantry Wing?" Okamura asked casually.
Okamura Ningji's expression was relaxed, and he didn't expect that the first infantry wing had been shattered.
And it was a real jade fragment, all of which were broken into pieces, and some were even burned to ashes.
Mitsuo Nakazawa on the opposite side, as well as Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue, who were standing on the side, didn't pay much attention to it.
With the combat effectiveness of the First Infantry Wing, unless it was ambushed by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, nothing would happen, and according to intelligence, the entire new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was in the northwest of Shanxi at this time.
The communication staff officer's face was sad, he was silent for a moment, and bowed his head and said, "The First Infantry Wing...... All the jade is shattered! ”
"Nani?" Okamura Ninji suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice, "All the jade of the first infantry wing is broken?" ”
A chess piece in the hand of Mitsuo Nakazawa on the opposite side froze in mid-air, his face full of disbelief, this is his most elite first wing, and all the jade was shattered as soon as he arrived in North China?
How is this possible?
In addition to the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which other Eighth Route Army unit has the ability to completely annihilate the first wing of the infantry?
Tanabe Moritake and Seizo Arisue on the side also looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
Taking a deep breath, Okamura Ninji's eyes and tone were questioning: "All the jade shatters of the first infantry wing?" ”
"Hey!" The communications staff officer affirmed, "The Communications Department has confirmed with the regimental headquarters of the 26th Division that the 1st Infantry Wing was attacked by enemy aircraft, and the 1st Infantry Wing, including Maeda Mitsuyoshi Daisa, was all shattered. ”
