Chapter 997: We Were Deceived by the Locust Army!

Jingcheng County.

The new regiment, the general command of the front.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar."

"Just reported on the No. 7 radar, the Japanese plane had just flown over Beiping and returned home."

"Judging from the flight trajectory of the Japanese plane, the combat mission of this group of devil pilots should be the Shimen City Battlefield or the Jinju Battlefield."

The communications staff officer walked into the headquarters quickly, saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, and said.

"The devil's plane is back?"

Li Yunlong frowned slightly, staring at the map and thinking.

In the previous prediction, the target of this devil aviation unit is very likely to be the battlefield in Shimen City.

But.

After all, there is no definite intelligence, so Li Yunlong has already asked the fighter squadron of the 1st Flying Group of the new regiment to take off and wait for the devil's aviation unit.

At this time, the fighter squadron of the 1st Flying Group, 20 Sabre fighters were already on their way.

No matter where the goal of this devil aviation unit is.

will be wiped out by the fighter squadron of the new regiment, just like in the Jinju battlefield.

However, the devil's plane returned, which made Li Yunlong feel a little bored.

"The devil should be scared."

Zhao Gang saw it more openly, and analyzed:

"Just now, the devil's air force was on the battlefield of Jinju, and we killed more than 40 planes."

"If Okamura Ning still dares to bomb with a devil plane, I respect Okamura as a man."

Li Yunlong nodded, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Although the opportunity to destroy more than 40 devil planes was lost.

But it's not a big problem, there will be a chance to destroy the devil plane in the future.

However, it is not realistic to send a squadron of fighters to chase the devil's plane.

The distance from the Taiyuan airport to the airfield of the Harbin devil has exceeded the combat radius of the Sabre fighters.

Unless you don't want these Sabre fighters, let the pilots parachute after bombing the devil's airfield.

There's no need for that.

It's not that I feel sorry for the Sabre fighter.

For Li Yunlong, the Sabre fighter is precious, but the pilot is even more precious.

"It's better if the devil plane doesn't come."

Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment on the side, analyzed:

"In this way, our interspersed troops will be even more difficult to discover."

"On the other hand, our troops have air support, but the devils do not, and the offensive battle on the ground will be fought more smoothly."

The communications staff officer asked: "Regiment commander, do you order the fighter squadron of the 1st Flying Group to return to Taiyuan Airport." ”

"No, you don't."

Li Yunlong waved his hand, and his tone was categorical: "Let the fighter squadron come to Shimen City, bomb the positions of the devil puppet army, and cooperate with the ground forces to attack, but we must order the infantry and the air force to do a good job of air-ground coordination, we must not accidentally injure our infantry on the ground, and we must use the fastest speed to capture Shimen City and Zhengding!" ”

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer straightened up and immediately turned to leave.

"Regiment Commander, Duan Peng just reported that the Sword Brigade has infiltrated the Daguo Village Airport, and the Devil Puppet Army has not yet blown up this airport."

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou came over and reported to Li Yunlong:

"The Sword Brigade is preparing to launch an attack on the airfield."

The airport of Shimen City is in Daguo Village, and the first to build an airport in Daguo Village, Shimen City, is Yan Xishan of the Jin Army.

However, the Jin army had very few planes, so Daguocun Airport was often idle.

In preparation for the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government expanded the Daguocun Airport, and after the devils occupied Shimen City, at the peak, the devils had more than 70 planes and more than 300 airplanes at the Daguocun Airport.

But.

At present, the Japanese North China Front has almost lost air supremacy in North China, and there is not even a single plane in North China.

Although half a year ago, Daguocun Airport was bombed by planes of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

But the devils sent sappers to repair the airfield in case of emergency.

At this time, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was still attacking the outer positions of the devil's puppet army, and the devil had not yet blown up the airport, and this was not a key defensive area for the devil.

"Order the Sword Brigade to capture Daguocun Airport as soon as possible."

Li Yunlong nodded:

"This airport is very important for our next attack."

As long as the Daguocun airfield can be captured, the Eighth Route Army in any battlefield in North China can call for air support, and the planes of the new regiment will be able to arrive within half an hour.

Capture it before the devils blow up the airport, and use it as soon as the large army captures Shimen City.

"By the way, what about Shimen City Station and Baoding Station?"

Li Yunlong asked:

"Have you arranged for troops to attack?"

Wang Dehou shook his head: "These two places, very close to the city, are stationed with a large army of devils and puppet troops, and our small force can't penetrate it." ”

"Then take Daguocun Airport first."

Li Yunlong nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to the station.

In this battle, the sappers of the Eighth Route Army prepared a lot of railroad tracks, and it didn't matter if the station was bombed, the sappers would soon be able to repair it.

……

Shimen City.

Devils and puppet army positions.

The infantry, tanks, and flamethrowers of the Eighth Route Army advanced steadily, while the devils and puppet armies were losing ground and had lost a large number of positions.

In the past, Li Yunlong didn't pay attention to the flamethrower, and felt that this thing was a bit of a chicken rib.

However, as more and more large corps of the Eighth Route Army fought, flamethrowers became more and more popular among soldiers.

And in early winter, the chill in the north comes a little earlier than in the south.

At this time, use the flamethrower to send a wave of warmth to the devil puppet army.

This is a must-have product for using temperature to influence devils and puppet soldiers.

So.

The front-line troops of the new regiment were heavily equipped with flamethrowers, at least one per infantry squad and two fighters per flamethrower group.

And the result of being equipped with a large number of flamethrowers is that the deterrent power of this weapon on the battlefield is not much worse than that of the new regiment of tanks and heavy artillery.

That is, the devil's puppet army set up a supervision team behind the position, and used 92-type heavy machine guns and 24 heavy machine guns to strafe, which stopped the rout of the puppet army.

Otherwise, the puppet army would have been defeated long ago.

As soon as the puppet army collapsed, the remaining devils couldn't stop the Eighth Route Army for long.

"Brothers, just now the Locust Army said that the Locust Army's plane will arrive in 10 minutes."

On a position, looking at the tanks, infantry and flamethrowers of the Eighth Route Army in the distance, a puppet army battalion commander said loudly to the puppet soldiers around him with a fierce face.

However, the puppet soldiers who know their own battalion commander know very well that their own battalion commander at this time is just a fierce man.

The slight fear in the eyes of the battalion commander and the trilling voice in his words showed that the battalion commander was already extremely afraid.

They are the troops of the 38th Independent Division of the puppet army, and the troops of the two battalions in front of the position have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Now it's their turn to be a battalion, and if nothing else, it will also be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

And here, it is only a few kilometers away from the city wall of Shimen City.

Regarding the words of the puppet army battalion commander, the puppet army soldiers were skeptical.

Will the planes of the locust army really come?

"Brothers, hold on for 10 more minutes!"

Seeing the suspicious looks in the puppet army's eyes, the puppet army battalion commander shouted loudly again:

"We only need to hold our position for 10 minutes, and when the planes of the Locust Army come, the tanks and heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out!"

Listening to the puppet battalion commander's emphasis, he looked at the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Min 24 heavy machine gun not far behind him and pointed to their retreat.

The puppet army could only calm down and look at the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army that were steadily advancing not far away.

It won't be long before the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army will be able to engage in an exchange of fire with them.

"Battalion commander, will the planes of the Locust Army really come?"

After the puppet battalion commander finished shouting, he quickly crawled to a hidden position, and a company commander came to the puppet battalion commander with a shell gun in his hand, and asked in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

The puppet battalion commander pursed his lips disdainfully.

"And you're still..."

The puppet army company commander's expression changed.

"Fucking quiet, don't you want to die?"

The puppet battalion commander looked at the devil not far away and scolded in a low voice.

"But looking at the appearance of the locust army, the plane of the locust army is really coming."

The puppet army battalion commander looked at the devils not far away and said in a low voice.

After listening to the words of their superiors, these devils were all convinced.

The battle has reached this point, and the devils on the position also know very well that it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army by relying on ground troops alone.

You can only rely on air support to take out the heavy artillery and tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

The ground forces also had a chance to temporarily block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, it was only to temporarily block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The main force has been transferred, and the Japanese infantry and puppet troops who remained here are all cannon fodder.

"Return to your command position immediately." The puppet battalion commander scolded in a low voice.

"Yes." The company commander turned and left.

After a while, the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army came up, and the puppet battalion commander shouted: "Brothers, give, fire at Lao Tzu!" ”

"Da Da Da..."

With the order of the puppet army battalion commander, the devils and the puppet army opened fire on the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army.

The gunfire rang out like popping beans.

From time to time, there were devils who wanted to sneak up on the tanks of the Eighth Route Army with anti-tank mines and explosives, but they were either beaten into a sieve by the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, or ignited by the flames fired by the flamethrowers.

The machine-gun fire points of the devils and the puppet army were quickly knocked out by the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Just when the puppet army was about to collapse, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side suddenly became sparse, and then the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army retreated like a tide.

"We have repelled the Eighth Route Army!"

A puppet platoon commander shouted happily, and the devils and the puppet army were demoralized.

This was the first time that the devils and the puppet army repelled the attack of the Eighth Route Army from morning to afternoon.

Not long after, some buzzing sounds sounded in the sky, and when they heard this sound, the expressions of the devils and puppet soldiers were all happy.

As time goes on, the buzzing gets louder and louder.

"Yo Xi, the locust army's aviation unit has arrived."

When the devils heard this voice, their faces suddenly showed smiles, and some devils couldn't help but cry with joy.

Seeing this, the puppet soldiers also showed the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

The face of the puppet battalion commander also showed some unexpected expressions, the plane of the locust army is really here?

However, in this way, the tank and heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army are afraid that they will be more auspicious.

The fighter planes of the Locust Army attacked the ground and hit the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, which can be said to be one bomb and one accurate.

Although the anti-tank guns of the Locust Army could not penetrate the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

But the locust army's aerial bombs can definitely blow up the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky.

"Shelling!"

"Hidden!"

The commander of the puppet army battalion is also a veteran, although he is a puppet army, he is still very rich in battlefield experience.

When they heard the sharp sound, they knew that it was the artillery of the Eighth Route Army that was firing at their position, quickly spit out a few words, jumped into the trench in a dog's posture, and then drilled into the cat's ear anti-artillery hole.

"At this time, the cannon is still firing, it's just looking for death!"

The puppet battalion commander sneered.

The planes of the locust army have already arrived, and the Eighth Route Army still dares to open artillery, doesn't it directly expose the artillery position?

Are the pilots of the Locust Army blind?

The devils and puppet soldiers found hidden positions to hide, some got into the anti-artillery holes, and some didn't have time to drill the anti-artillery holes, so they went directly to the bottom of the corpses.

After the shells of the Eighth Route Army fell, there was no huge explosion, but a muffled tom.

With a series of muffled sounds, some red gas quickly spread over the position of the devil puppet army.

"It's not good, the Eighth Route Army has released poison gas!"

"Despicable dirt hachi!"

The devils and the commanders of the puppet army scolded one after another.

Those who have a gas mask wear a gas mask, and those who do not have a gas mask spill urine on a towel and cover their mouth and nose.

Since the Eighth Route Army had no precedent for using poison gas bombs, the devils and puppet soldiers were not fully prepared for anti-poisoning.

"No, it's not poison gas, it's a red smoke bomb!"

Soon, the battalion commander of the puppet army was the first to react, and some soldiers who inhaled the smoke did not show symptoms of loss of combat effectiveness such as fainting and vomiting.

As the red smoke spread, the roar in the ears grew louder and louder, proving that the plane was getting closer.

"It's not good..."The face of the puppet army battalion commander instantly turned pale.

"Yaga...", the faces of the devils also showed a panicked look.

Although there was gunsmoke and red smoke bombs above the position, it was difficult to see the sky clearly. But as long as you are not stupid, as long as you listen to the sound, you will know that the plane is about to reach the top of their heads.

A stone's throw away.

In the midst of gunsmoke and smoke bombs, the puppet battalion commander vaguely saw a huge metal egg-like bomb falling fiercely!

In the sky, 20 Sabre fighters swept through the smoke-filled sky.

Boom Boom Boom –

Immediately after, there was an overwhelming explosion and billowing flames spreading and sweeping across the positions of the devil puppet army.

Many devils and puppet soldiers were burned to ashes in the explosion before they even had time to scream.

……

In a deep underground artillery hole.

The headquarters of the Second Front of the puppet army.

When the lights flickered, the dirt fluttered down, and a puppet army combat staff officer ran into the anti-artillery hole with a gray face.

Seeing this, Sun Liangcheng, the commander of the puppet army, asked in a hurried tone: "Is it that the plane of the Locust Army has arrived?" The heavy artillery positions and tanks of the Eighth Route Army, were they blown up? ”

"Commander!" The combat staff officer said with a crying face, "It's not the plane of the Locust Army, it's the plane of the Eighth Road!" Six or seven of our positions, all of which were bombed by the Eighth Route aircraft, were blown into a sea of fire, and more than 3,000 brothers were directly burned down! ”

"What do you say? The planes of the locust army did not come? ”

Sun Liangcheng was stunned when he heard this, and his face changed suddenly.

"We have been deceived by the locust army, there is no air support at all!"

The combat staff officer continued with tears.

Their conversation was whispered by the interpreter in Japanese to the devil Shaozo who came to supervise the war.

"Yaga..."

The devil Shaozuo scolded angrily, stood up suddenly, and said a lot.

The translator said loudly: "Bastard, the planes of the locusts army will definitely come, and if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, they will all die!" ”

"You're fucking baga!"

Sun Liangcheng couldn't hold back any longer, took out a horse pistol and quickly loaded it, and pulled the trigger on the forehead of the devil Shaozuo.

Smack-

The gunshot rang out, and there was an instant blood hole on the door of the devil Shaozuo's head.

The devil Shaozuo's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't expect that the locust army, who was willing to be a dog for the locust army, would dare to bite his master to death.

The interpreter on the side was stunned on the spot and sat down on the ground.

"Obey my orders, and all the brethren will retreat immediately!"

Sun Liangcheng said loudly.

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer on the side straightened up and quickly walked towards the telephone.
