Kong Jie's order to the artillery groups was to prepare for an artillery bombardment, not an immediate shelling.

Because.

Once the artillery is immediately fired at the attacking troops of the devils, the positions of the various artillery groups will definitely be exposed, and the pilots on the devil's planes will be able to see it immediately.

Although around the positions of the various artillery groups, a lot of anti-aircraft fire was deployed.

But Kong Jie also didn't want to see the devil's aerial bombs fall on the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

It is a trivial matter for the cannon to be blown up, even if the 203mm heavy howitzer is blown up, as long as the battle can be won, Boss Chen's side can also reimburse it.

But...

What really distressed Kong Jie was the artillery, all of which were treasures, much more expensive than artillery.

Fortunately, the airdrop supplies he called arrived in time, just in time to bump into the devil's air support.

"Haha, there's a good show to watch now."

A hidden location 500 meters from the Datong city wall.

Ding Wei held the binoculars and looked in the direction of the large transport plane, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Ding Wei also sighed in his heart like Kong Jie, it was better to come early than to come by chance.

The transport plane came at the right time!

Boss Chen's transport plane is escorted by Sabre fighters, and the propeller fighters of the little devils dare to touch porcelain, which is no different from looking for death.

In fact.

What Kong Jie and Ding Wei didn't know was that these transport planes and fighters were all refreshed by Boss Chen.

In an ordinary battle, Li Yunlong can solve the air threat of the devils without using the opportunity of air support.

Like a large-scale battle, it is still necessary to use air support, 30 B29 long-range bombers and 10 Sabre fighters, which can bring great surprises to the Japanese army.

But.

The time has not yet come for the two air support that the two major generals of the 1st Division were killed last time, so air support cannot be called in this campaign.

Otherwise, Li Yunlong directly applied for an air support for Kong Jie.

An aerial bomb to wash the ground in the area of the main force of the Mongolian army, and then the artillery fire will cover it, and the cavalry, infantry and tanks will press on it, and the battle can be solved directly.

But Konjeka got a bug, and the plane that was called to transport airdrop supplies collided with the devil's plane.

"Are all the troops ready?"

Ding Wei looked at an operational staff officer beside him.

"Report to the head of the group, everything is ready."

The combat staff nodded:

"All kinds of light and heavy machine guns have been deployed on the city walls."

"Outside the city, a large number of large-caliber heavy machine guns and 20-mm machine guns were also deployed."

"The 105mm howitzer battalion is also ready, as long as the devil's heavy artillery wing dares to show its head, our 105mm howitzer will hail the devil's heavy artillery."

Kong Jie left Ding Wei a battalion of 105mm howitzers.

The devils of the 1st Division are in the city, and there is also the 6th Wing of Heavy Artillery.

If the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing opened fire on the city wall, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to hold the city wall.

However, the howitzer battalion of the Eighth Route Army suppressed the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing, so the Eighth Route Army relied on its superior firepower and condescending terrain.

The devils of the 1st Division came and died as many as they wanted.

"Good."

Ding Wei looked as usual, raised his binoculars and looked high into the sky.

More than 100 large transport planes are already about to arrive in the sky above the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time.

Boss Chen's pilot had already spotted the devil's plane hovering at high altitude, and more than 30 Sabre fighters appeared from everywhere and flew towards the devil's plane.

……

High in the air.

The captain of the 2nd Flying Team, Kobayashi Takachi Osa, looked at the more than 30 enemy planes attacking in the distance, and his face was cloudy for a while.

The pilots under his command are all veteran pilots of the 1st Flying Division, with rich experience in flying and combat, and a high understanding of the spirit of bushido.

All pilots are warriors who are ready to be loyal to the locust, and they can be loyal to the locust at any time.

Takashi Kobayashi received an order to destroy the artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army at all costs.

But.

Before departing from the Beiping airfield, the commander of the 16th Flying Regiment, Mio Watanabe, reminded him that in the event of encountering a group of airdrop supplies or air support called by the Eighth Route Army.

Don't hesitate to run as far as you can.

There must be no fighting.

Kobayashi Takachi glanced at the ground unwillingly.

The ground was covered with dense camouflage nets, not to mention thousands of camouflage nets.

The artillery, shells and artillery of the Eighth Route Army, as well as anti-aircraft weapons, were absolutely hidden under those camouflage nets.

However, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army did not open fire, and even if the pilot wanted to make a suicidal attack, he could not find the target at all.

"Retreat immediately!"

Taking a deep breath and retracting his unwilling gaze, Kobayashi Takachi took the microphone and gave an order in the infinite channel in a cold tone:

"Immediately retreat, those who disobey the order, military law is engaged!"

After finishing speaking, Kobayashi Takachi piloted the fighter, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and drove the fighter to accelerate away.

The surrounding devil pilots quickly followed.

However, Boss Chen's fighter still chased in the direction where the devil's plane left.

In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie looked at Boss Chen's fighter jet and drove away the devil's plane.

Then the order was given to fire at the devil.

Not long after the order was issued, the artillery groups of the Eighth Route Army launched an artillery bombardment against the attacking devils.

The shooting of Zhuyuan has already been calibrated, and the mountain artillery and howitzer are all fired using the precision method.

4 mountain artillery battalions, 1 105-mm howitzer battalion, 1 Katyusha rocket artillery battalion, plus 60-mm and 82-mm mortars equipped with infantry battalions, all the artillery fired at the devil at once.

Dense cannonballs rained down on the devils.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Violent explosions rose in the middle of the formation of the left and right devil attack detachments at the same time.

The formation of the devil's skirmishers was very spread, but there were too many cannons that could not hold up the Eighth Route Army, and the shelling was too dense.

Even in the sky, there were dense cobweb-like orange-red shells streaking across the sky.

Suddenly, in the three formations on the left and right of the devils, the explosive fireballs rose densely, the mud and mist splashed, and the shrapnel accompanied the sweeping shock wave.

The devil's mid-lane attack detachment has just stepped on the position of the Eighth Route Army.

The position was littered with the broken corpses of Japanese soldiers, and a tank was turned upside down 180 degrees by explosives and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

This is the scene of the last wave of Japanese soldiers and more than 20 tanks being blown up, and it is extremely bloody.

However, these Japanese soldiers looked as usual, even expressionless, as if they were accustomed to such scenes.

The chain of mines on the position had been detonated, and it was impossible to blow up the second time, so the tank soldiers and infantry of the devils unscrupulously boarded the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Keep going on the offensive forward.

At the same time that the left and right attack detachments were shelled, the soldiers of the devil's middle attack detachment heard a continuous and rapid scream in their ears.

Even experienced veterans had never heard such a scream, it didn't look like a cannonball, but it was breathtaking.

Before the devils could react, dense rockets fell on the top of the devils' heads.

Katyusha rocket artillery came to wash the ground in waves towards the 24 devil tanks and 2 brigades of devils who had just stepped into the position of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, 24 Katyusha rocket launchers fired a salvo!

384 rockets equivalent to 152 mm high-explosive shells, and within 10 seconds, a wave of fire coverage came to the devils attacking in the middle.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Accompanied by the explosion sound of a landslide and a crack, a circle of blazing and dazzling explosions burst out from the position of the Eighth Route Army, in a continuous and rapid huge explosion.

One by one, the devils were lifted into the air and their limbs were shattered.

One after another, the devil's tanks were hit by shells and burst into flames.

……

At the same time.

The direction of Datong City.

The devils of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, under the cover of Type 92 infantry guns, mortars and grenadiers, shouted long live and launched an assault on the walls of the Eighth Route Army.

But.

The devils of the 1st Division were greeted by a dense rain of bullets fired from M2 heavy machine guns and M1917 heavy machines.

After all, Mitsuo Nakazawa did not dare to pull out the heavy artillery and aim it at the city wall.

The Type 92 infantry artillery and mortars posed a limited threat to the Eighth Route Army, and were even counter-suppressed by the Mortars of the Eighth Route Army.

After dropping hundreds of corpses, the devils of the 1st Division did not dare to continue the attack.

……

"What a lot of heavy artillery fire..."

In the headquarters of the Mongolian army, looking up from the artillery mirror, the eyes of the commander Ganji Shigetaro flashed with deep horror.

The direction of the artillery mirror is exactly the direction of the middle attack detachment.

The picture of nearly 400 rockets washing the floor against the middle attack detachment made Tataro Gansu's face change greatly.

During the Battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet army did not have such a strong heavy artillery firepower, right?

As soon as he gave the order for the left, center, and right attack groups to retreat immediately, the shells of the Eighth Route Army had already fallen on the heads of the Japanese troops.

But.

The Japanese planes turned around and ran away, not attacking Boss Chen's plane, so Boss Chen's fighters just expelled the Japanese planes from this airspace.

Then it turned back and continued to escort the transport plane.

Shigetaro looked at the rear of the Eighth Route Army, and the dense airdrops in the large transport planes, the airdrops that covered the entire sky fell.

Seeing this scene, Ganji Jutaro's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he was about to bite the back of his teeth.

It's so infuriating!

Why did those mud legs get such a large-scale airdrop supply?

And it is also in front of the locust army to receive airdrop supplies, shrimp pig heart!

With such a large-scale airdrop of supplies, the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army could not be finished at all, and Gansu Shigetaro felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Eighth Route Army's logistical supplies were abundant, and the preparation of weapons and ammunition was also extremely abundant, and it was unbelievably abundant.

Aviation can't play a role, how can this be fought?

Under the dense artillery rain of the Eighth Route Army, the attacking troops could not organize an effective attack at all, and even the infantry of the Eighth Route Army was blown up and retreated.

Even the middle attack detachment, the tanks were all blown up, and only a few people remained.

……

In the headquarters of the separate regiment.

Kong Jie looked at the defeated devil through the vision of the artillery mirror, and his tone was fierce:

"Take advantage of its illness to kill him!"

"Pass my orders!"

"The artillery groups launched artillery bombardment into the enemy's depth, and the cavalry battalions, tank battalions and infantry carried out a full-scale counteroffensive according to the plan!" (End of chapter)
