Chapter 900: Overwhelming!
Niangzi Pass, the eastern front of the Eighth Route Army encircled the position, on one of the hills.
The Lu District Chief, Chief of Staff, and Political Commissar of the Jizhong Military Region, as well as some operational staff officers, couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the devil's position almost turn into a sea of fire.
"I'll drop it, the power of this incendiary bomb..."
District Chief Lu's eyes widened, and he was amazed.
When the independent regiment called for air support, it naturally greeted the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region.
Otherwise, if the brother troops were accidentally injured when dropping the bomb, the losses would be great, and the power of the napalm bomb was not comparable to that of ordinary aerial bombs.
"This incendiary bomb is really powerful!"
Political Commissar Lin sighed with emotion: "If we had known this, we should have called for air support earlier, let all the planes carry incendiary bombs, and burn all the devils to death!" ”
District Chief Lu nodded: "I'll know next time." ”
This weapon of mass destruction, of course, is to be used for the finale.
Before, District Chief Lu didn't know that all planes could carry incendiary bombs.
Although Kong Jie knew, Kong Jie thought that he could solve the battle without dropping a large number of incendiary bombs.
The battle of the front-line fighters did not go well, and Kong Jie naturally wanted to use a killer move.
Beside the leaders, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looked at the more than 20 mountains in front of them with a sea of fire, and their eyes were about to fall out.
This fire is burning, comfortable!
For the use of such a lethal and destructive weapon, the devil was burned to ashes, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army did not have the slightest mercy.
Compared with the burning, killing and looting of the devils in China, poison gas bombs were used in the battle to behead the captured Eighth Route Army and innocently kill the Chinese people.
It's all light.
It's best to let the local Japanese devils also try the incendiary bomb to relieve their anger a little.
"Order the soldiers to get ready and wait for the fire to go out before attacking."
District Chief Lu gave the order.
When napalm explodes, the fire does not extinguish immediately, but continues to burn.
Fortunately, this area is all bare terrain with a lack of vegetation, and if it is a forest terrain, it will definitely cause a fire.
"Yes."
Next to him, the chief of staff with the latest Zeiss telescope on his chest was straight.
In addition to weapons, ammunition and canned food, Boss Chen also gave some artillery mirrors and military binoculars, as well as a large number of cheap but high-quality gas masks, and a large amount of medicine for treating wounded soldiers.
"Wounded soldiers, how's it going?"
"Do those medicines work?"
District Chief Lu turned his head to look at Political Commissar Lin.
"Commander, those medicines are useful!"
Political Commissar Lin nodded emphatically:
"Among the airdrops given by Head Li, there are a lot of medical devices and medical drugs, as well as a large number of penicillin, which is more expensive than gold."
"All the soldiers who were wounded in the battle were well treated."
"That's good." District Chief Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to the special geographical location of the Jizhong Military Region, the devils have always been the focus of care.
In addition to the devils and puppet soldiers who served as guards, the devils also specially transferred a 110th division to deal with the Jizhong Military Region.
In addition, a large number of pillboxes and artillery towers were built to blockade the Jizhong Military Region, and several times a year the iron wall was closed and swept away.
This made the life of the military and civilians of the Jizhong Military Region extremely difficult.
The central Hebei region is the grain-producing area of the Eighth Route Army, and there is no shortage of food, and it can also support the fraternal military regions, but it is extremely short of medicines.
After the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were wounded, although the Jizhong Military Region had its own field hospital, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Due to the lack of medical drugs and medical equipment, in most cases, soldiers who are hit by bullets in vital parts, even if they still have a breath, do not treat them, and are hit in the hands and feet, and directly cut off their hands and feet.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army, no matter how difficult the conditions were, never thought of giving up the War of Resistance.
At present, with the support of Li Yunlong, the fraternal units of the Jizhong Military Region have finally made a big counterattack, and their lives are getting better and better.
"It's still Captain Li who is rich."
Political Commissar Lin sighed with emotion.
Subsequently, Political Commissar Lin and District Chief Lu glanced at each other, and they both saw a determined look in each other's eyes.
Li Yunlong's thigh, the Jizhong Military Region must hold it tightly.
In the future, he followed Captain Li, ate fragrant and spicy food, and made a fortune.
Eating and drinking spicy food here is not a personal enjoyment, but eating meat in Li Yunlong's mouth, which is killing devils.
……
On a hill on the western front of the Niangziguan battlefield.
"Commander, the devil is on fire."
Kong Jie walked to the front line, and the first battalion commander Guan Dashan saw this, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and handed the Zeiss telescope in his hand to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie held a Zeiss telescope and observed the situation on the battlefield.
Through the field of vision of the Zeiss telescope, Kong Jie saw that a few kilometers away, it had turned into a sea of fire, which was very spectacular.
"Haha, it's beautifully fried!"
Kong Jie's tone was uplifting:
"Labor and management don't believe it, if these hundreds of incendiary bombs go down, how much resistance can the devil have?"
Guan Dashan smiled slightly:
"It's true that the devil has built a lot of anti-artillery holes, but this incendiary bomb is as pervasive as water, and the devil will be burned to death if he hides in the anti-artillery hole."
The anti-artillery hole is also the cat's ear hole, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army used this kind of anti-artillery fortifications in large quantities.
The brother units of the Independent Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region used almost all mountain artillery and mortars, and except for the first two days, the artillery bombardment of the devils in the rear was not very effective.
Kong Jie nodded when he heard this, this is what he wanted.
In the previous battle, the devil fired a large number of poison gas bombs at the Eighth Route Army, but with little success.
"I guess we can end the battle today."
Kong Jie gave the battle order in a fierce tone:
"Pass my orders, prepare for the attack, and wait until the flames are extinguished, all the troops will immediately press up, kill all the devils, and do not accept the surrender of the devils."
The flames were not extinguished, and even if a spark was glued, it would be life-threatening.
Kong Jie naturally knew the terrifying power of napalm, so he deliberately waited for the fire to be extinguished before ordering the troops to attack.
"Yes."
The chief of staff on the side replied.
……
Inside the encirclement.
Inside the headquarters of the Japanese army.
Tanabe and other old devils are not badly lucky.
The cave where they were hiding was relatively hidden, and the incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army did not explode here.
But the hill was also hit by a few incendiary bombs, and there was a raging fire outside, and the temperature in the originally cool cave was gradually rising.
"Why is it so hot?"
Suddenly, Tanabe Moritake, who felt a little hot, unbuttoned his clothes.
Kuwaki Chongming, Nishihara Kanji and others on the side also felt some heat in the cave.
At this moment, an operational staff officer ran in with a crawling voice, and with a crying voice, he reported to Tanabe Shengwu: "General, something has happened!" ”
"Yaga!"
"What's wrong, speak slowly!"
Tanabe Moritake's face sank suddenly.
The operational staff officer said in a desperate tone: "The planes of the Eighth Route Army have dropped a large number of incendiary bombs on all our hilltop positions, and our positions have turned into a sea of fire. ”
"Nani?"
Tanabe Moritake's tone suddenly rose, and his face changed greatly.
Even Kuwaki Chongming, Nishihara Kanji, Shigeta Tokumatsu and others on the side also changed their faces one after another.
Because the cave is relatively safe and can protect against artillery shells, aerial bombs and incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army, the commanders of each division and the commanders of each brigade are all in the cave.
The chiefs of staff and wing commanders of divisions, regiments, brigades, and regiments are outside to direct the troops in combat.
The old devils were still surprised why the cave was so hot, and it turned out that the Eighth Route Army dropped a large number of incendiary bombs.
The power of that kind of incendiary bomb was deeply impressed by the devil officers present.
This time, the planes of the Eighth Route Army must have carried a large number of incendiary bombs instead of conventional aerial bombs.
Sangmu Chongming walked quickly to the telephone, grabbed the telegram, and called: "Moxi Moxi, I'm Sangmu Chongming, call the 110th Division, call the 110th Division..."
"General! The telephone numbers of the divisions and brigades could not be reached. The telephone soldier on the side stood up and said with a bitter face, "Most of the telephone lines have been blown up." ”
"Yaga!"
Sangmu Chongming cursed, slammed the microphone on the ground, and then took the lieutenant general's war knife and walked towards the hole.
Nishihara Kanji and Shigeta Tokumatsu hurriedly followed with their sabers.
But soon, the three old devils were forced back by the flames at the entrance of the cave, and the air outside was scorching, and it was difficult to even get out of the hole, let alone find their own troops.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the outside has been burned into a sea of fire, what should we do?"
Back in the cave, Nishihara Kanji asked Tanabe Moritake in a solemn tone.
Tanabe Moritake's heart also suddenly sank to the bottom.
Molotov cocktails! The Eighth Route Army actually dropped a large number of incendiary bombs!
The outside has turned into a sea of fire, and even if there are anti-artillery holes, most of the locust soldiers in the fortifications will be burned to death.
Thinking of this, Tanabe Moritake was even more chilled, if this is the case, these lieutenant generals and major generals are also fierce.
If a large number of Japanese soldiers were burned to death by the incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army, what would the remaining locust army do to resist the ferocious attack of the main force of the 78,000 Eighth Route Army?
"Immediately request tactical guidance from Admiral Okamura Ninji!"
Tanabe Moritake's face tense looked at a communications staff officer.
Although he can be called resourceful on weekdays, at this time, apart from asking Okamura for tactical guidance, Tanabe Moritake really doesn't know what to do.
"Hey."
The communications staff officer bowed his head, turned and walked towards the radio.
But soon, the communications staff officer came back again: "General, now there is a fire outside the cave, and we have no way to set up antennas." ”
"Yaga!" Tanabe was furious, "When the fire is extinguished, immediately set up an antenna." ”
"Hey."
The Devil's Communications Staff Officer bowed his head suddenly.
……
The fire gradually extinguished, and the Japanese positions were already a scorched black scene.
Countless devil officers and soldiers were burned to the shape of charcoal, and many devils still retained the posture of painful struggle in life, as if time had frozen in a flash, leaving these pitch-black sculptures.
When the wind blows, these sculptures gradually collapse and dissipate like sand.
On the more than 20 mountains before, there were more than 15,000 devil soldiers and officers.
But after two waves of napalm, there were no longer a few living devils in sight.
Even the devil's rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars were turned into molten iron in the incineration of napalm and melted into the dirt and sand.
The explosive power of napalm is terrifying!
After the flames were extinguished, the Eighth Route Army reorganized the offensive.
Previously, the devil's army exceeded 15,000 people, distributed on more than 20 hilltop positions.
Although the planes of the Eighth Route Army dropped a large number of incendiary bombs, turning the devil area into a sea of fire.
But it's hard to get rid of all the devils.
Although the encirclement is not small, the flames of the incendiary bomb explosion cannot burn all the devil positions after all.
For the sake of air defense, the devils also engaged in some hidden positions, which were not exposed in the previous battles.
But.
Most of the devils' positions and the devils on the positions have become ghosts under fire.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was like a bamboo, successively seizing the hills occupied by the devils and eliminating the remnants of the devil soldiers.
Although the remaining devils resisted stubbornly, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were all over the mountains.
"General."
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack."
In the encirclement, an operational staff officer hurriedly entered the headquarters, and reported to Tanabe Moritake in a panicked tone:
"There are still some locust soldiers on each position, but there are very few, and they can't stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army."
"Yaga!"
Tanabe Moritake's right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the lieutenant general's sword.
If there is Sue Jingsan standing here, he will definitely split the other party alive, if it weren't for the stupid pig of Sue Jingsan, how could he have come to the point where he is at the end of his rope now?
Reinforcements were at least a day and a half away, and there were few officers and soldiers left around him.
If nothing else, this time, he is afraid that the jade will be broken.
There is no way to survive.
Even if reinforcements from four divisions arrived immediately, it would not have been possible to rescue them.
The Eighth Route Army will definitely not give up the opportunity to destroy them.
"Yaga, is the antenna set up?"
Tanabe Moritake ignored the gazes of the three lieutenant generals, two major generals, and some adjutant staff officers, and looked at the busy sweaty communications staff officer and asked angrily.
"General."
"Intimate Marseille, right away!"
The communications staff officer hurriedly replied.
After a while, the antenna was set up, the radio was turned on, and the telegram could be received: "General, you can send a telegram." ”
Tanabe Moritake walked up to the telegraph machine and said in a deep voice: "Send a farewell telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters immediately!" ”
"Hey."
Seeing this, the communications staff officer was stunned for a moment, then put on his headphones and prepared to send a telegram in person.
Under normal circumstances, the telegraph needs to be translated into a code by a decoder before the telegraph can send a telegram, but the devil's communications staff can memorize the code by heart, and can send a telegram directly without transferring.
This devil can become a communications staff officer of the front-line command and is a very professional telecommunications talent.
Moritake Tanabe dictated while the communications staff officer sent a telegram.
"Farewell telegram."
"Your Excellency, General."
"The Eighth Route Army dropped a large number of incendiary bombs on our position, the locust army suffered heavy losses, and our reinforcements have not been heard from so far."
"I, Tanabe Moritake, the 23rd Division, the 35th Division, the 110th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and all the officers and men of the 1st Mixed Brigade, are determined to serve His Majesty the Emperor to the death."
"There is a senior spy of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the North China Front, please kill this person immediately..."
The five generals next to him, as well as several combat staff officers, all looked at this scene with cold eyes.
Tanabe Moritake was right, although they didn't want the jade to be broken, but now this situation is not even if the jade is not broken.
On the farewell telegram, Moritake Tanabe decided to pit a handful of Seizo Sue.
If he hadn't had the stupid pig of the last Jingsan, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of being shattered by the locust.
"General, the farewell telegram has been sent!"
Not long after Tanabe Shengwu's words fell, the devil's communication staff officer got up and bowed his head to report.
At this time, the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave.
