There were not many puppet troops involved in the attack, and most of the puppet troops were left in the garrison area to assist the devil garrison troops in policing.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from launching a large-scale attack while the main force of the Japanese army left the garrison area.

Although the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is stretched, the defensive battle is not bad, coupled with the supervision of devils, the weapons of the Eighth Route Army are poor, and it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack the city.

The devil and the Eighth Route Army were fighting fiercely, the sound of guns and artillery was intensive, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and even white-knuckle battles broke out locally.

The brother units of the Jizhong Military Region, which had been supplied with weapons and ammunition, were not at all false at this time, and their extremely strong firepower was more than doubled, and their ammunition was temporarily sufficient.

At this time.

The brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region occupied a favorable terrain and opened fire violently at the devils.

And the devil did not take the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region in his eyes, thinking that the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region was still as vulnerable as before.

However, the dense rain of bullets teaches devils to be human.

Soon after the contact, the devil found that there seemed to be something wrong with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the firepower was not inferior to the Japanese army!

What made the devil's scalp tingle even more was that the roar of a buzzing plane sounded in the sky.

This voice is very familiar to the devils.

These days, when the devils attacked Niangzi Pass, they were bombed by the planes of the Eighth Route Army, and the bombers of the Eighth Route Army had extremely strong firepower.

The incendiary bomb, in particular, was simply terrifying.

Dozens of napalm bombs were thrown down, and hundreds of people were directly burned to ashes, which was terrifying.

"Airplane?!"

"Yaga!"

"Retreat..."

The faces of the captains and squadron leaders of the devils suddenly changed, the momentum of the attack was discharged, and they suddenly lost the courage to attack, shouting for the soldiers to retreat.

Even, the devils did not have air defense actions at all, and no one even set up machine guns.

These days, when the planes of the Eighth Route Army came to provide air support, the devils did not set up machine guns to strafe the air, but with little effect.

The Japanese Second Division was armed with some Type 98 20mm machine guns, but there were very few.

And it was already destroyed in battle, and together with the machine gunners, it was blown up by aerial bombs to the point that there was no slag left.

Using machine guns to strafe the air will reveal their own position, and the planes of the Eighth Route Army can easily destroy the machine gun fire point on the ground with only one wave of dive strafing.

Hitting the ground at high altitude means that you can occupy an absolute advantage, not to mention that there are seventy or eighty planes of the Eighth Route Army!

Seeing that the devils were repulsed, some companies of the Jizhong Military Region lacked combat experience and thought that this was a good time to launch a charge.

So he prepared to order the troops to launch a counter-charge, and at the same time wanted the trumpeter to blow the trumpet.

But fortunately, the battalion commanders promptly ordered not to attack, and the soldiers who jumped out of the trenches were also called back in time.

In fact, the soldiers are not to blame, after all, many troops do not have combat experience in air-ground cooperation.

The last time Jizhong swept up the troops that received air support, it was only a part.

All the soldiers of the Jizhong Military Region ceased fire, stretched out their hands and lifted the steel helmets above their heads upwards, and then looked at the plane in the sky with surprised expressions.

Is this air support?

The commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army, who had never seen their own planes, widened their eyes.

Seeing the planes of the Eighth Route Army rushing in, the devils fled to the foot of the mountain one after another, only hating their parents for missing a few legs.

As for lying down halfway up the mountain, it doesn't work at all.

The incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army burned half or a mountain, and sticking a spark to it was more painful and lethal than taking a bullet.

"Our plane!"

A battalion commander put down the binoculars on his chest, and through the field of view of the telescope, he could see the livery of the plane clearly, and his tone was full of surprise.

This battalion commander had received air support from a new regiment during the last sweep.

During the Jizhong Sweep, his battalion was surrounded by a devil brigade and a puppet military battalion, and if he hadn't called for air support, his battalion would have been gone.

At that time, the aerial bombs and incendiary bombs dropped by the plane left an extremely deep impression on the battalion commander and the soldiers under his command.

As soon as the words fell, dozens of planes flew over like Ula.

The speed was so fast that many fighters didn't see whether it was a bomber or a fighter, and saw dozens of planes flying at a very high speed, and then flew towards the devils at the foot of the mountain.

Woooooo

In the earth-shattering waves, these planes flew over the heads of the devils, and then: boom, boom......

First, pieces of fireballs rose up, then they were blown up dozens of meters high, and finally turned into gunpowder smoke in the sky.

And the area where those incendiary bombs exploded was the densely populated location of the devils, and in the overwhelming explosion, the location of the devils turned into a sea of fire.

"I'll be a good girl!"

"Beautifully fried!"

"So powerful?"

For the first time, the Jizhong Military Region saw the scene of its own aerial bombs and incendiary bombs being dropped on the devil's head, and its eyes were about to pop out.

I saw that the location of the devil was extremely around, the explosion mud and shnel caused by the aerial bomb fell to the ground, the mushroom clouds lingered in the sky, and there were large craters blown out by the aerial bomb everywhere, but there was no devil in sight.

The planes that reinforced the Jizhong Military Region were from the new regimental flying group.

And the planes of the flying regiment directly under the headquarters went to reinforce the independent regiment on the other side.

The firepower of the independent regiment was already strong, and with the cooperation of aircraft and air, it directly smashed the attack of the Japanese 23rd Division and the 35th Division, and even occupied many devil positions, compressing the devil's area a little.

……

Cai Dong Village.

The new regiment, the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The sky was clear today.

Li Yunlong looked at the watch in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, it's almost time to send the devil on the road, immediately send a telegram to Deputy Regiment Commander Xing and the headquarters, all bombers take off with goblet bombs, and the artillery, tanks and infantry are ready to act according to the battle plan!" ”

These days.

Although the Eighth Route Army was not able to capture the devil's tunnel and anticline position, it was not idle.

Every day, tens of thousands of shells were fired at the devil's position, and tanks were ordered to launch a tentative attack on the devil's position with new recruits.

After several rounds of battles, not only did the inexperienced artillerymen quickly accumulate actual combat experience, but also the new recruits also quickly accumulated actual combat experience.

As for the shells, Li Yunlong didn't have to worry at all, this time he carried a large number of shells from the northwest of Jin.

If the shells are insufficient, you can also call Boss Chen for airdrop supplies.

Today's weather is good, and Li Yunlong estimates that the siege and annihilation battle over Niangzi Pass has also started, so he is ready to have two flowers.

The pilots of the flight regiment at the headquarters have completed the formation of bomber crews and completed training, and are ready to be put into actual combat at any time.

And Yangcun Airport has stockpiled more than 100 goblet bombs.

"Yes!"

After Wang Dehou responded, he was quickly busy, preparing telegrams and issuing combat orders.

It didn't take long.

Wang Dehou held a telegram in his hand, re-entered the command headquarters, and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "Regiment commander, political commissar, just now the head of the independent regiment Kong Jie called, more than 80,000 people from the independent regiment and the Jizhong Military Region have formed an encirclement posture against the three divisions and one mixed brigade of the devil, and now the encirclement and annihilation battle has begun, and the flight brigade and the flying regiment have dispatched a total of 60 aircraft to reinforce it!" ”

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes lit up slightly.

"There should be thirty or forty thousand devils." Zhao Gang said: "The battle of Niangzi Pass will not end in a while. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, the troops of the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region still have some trouble if they want to eat these thirty or forty thousand devils.

The combat effectiveness of the independent regiment plus air support is no problem for a tough devil A division, but the problem is that the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Jizhong Military Region is not strong.

It is difficult to say whether these 30,000 or 40,000 devils can be eliminated in the end, but it is certain that these 30,000 or 40,000 devils will be hit hard.

After a while, a telegraph operator walked in with a telegram and reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the head of the regiment, Boss Chen is calling, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Tianjin and the 21st Division stationed in Jinan have just set off to reinforce the Japanese army at Niangziguan!" ”

"The devil reacts so quickly?"

Li Yunlong was suddenly startled, and his eyes were thoughtful:

"As soon as the siege and annihilation battle on our Niangzi Pass side started, the devil's reinforcements were dispatched?"

"No...... right"

Li Yunlong, who stared at the map for a while, instantly sensed that something was wrong:

"If Okamura Ningji knew about the three devils who surrounded Niangzi Pass by the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region, I am afraid that these devils would have retreated a long time ago, and when the 21st Division and the 27th Division arrived at Niangzi Pass, I am afraid that the daylily would be cold."

The 21st and 27th Divisions forced their way to Niangzi Pass, which took at least five days.

The trapped devils' logistical supplies have been completely cut off, can they reach the 21st and 27th Divisions?

After listening to Li Yunlong's analysis, Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "These 21st Division and 27th Division should be the last two cards in Okamura Ningji's hand." ”

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong nodded and looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, immediately forward this telegram to the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters, and order them to eliminate the encircled devils within five days." ”

Wang Dehou: "Yes! ”

……

With the order of the regimental headquarters of the new regiment was issued.

Northwest of Shanxi, Daguzhen Airport.

Li Shaorong, the captain of the flight group, was giving eight bomber crews a pre-war mobilization.

Instructor Wang Hexin took the bomber squadron and fighter squadron to support the brother troops in Niangziguan.

Therefore, the bomber crew was escorted by only 2 Sabre fighters on this combat mission.

However, fortunately, the Eighth Route Army had already gained air supremacy in North China, and even if there was no Sabre fighter escort, the bomber crew did not have to worry about being attacked by enemy aircraft.

Soon, the fuel was filled, and the goblet bomb was mounted under the belly of the bomber.

"Get on board!"

"Kill the devil!"

Seeing this, the captain gave the order murderously.

Then.

The crews of all the bomber crews quickly ran towards the bombers, boarded their respective bombers, and the huge roar of engines and the sound of propellers turning, 8 bombers and 2 fighters accelerated on the runway and took off one after another.

The planes that took off first circled in the air and waited, and after all the planes were lifted into the air, the 10 planes lined up in a flight formation and flew in the direction of Taiyuan.
