215 Zhao Dalei's assault
The little devil fighter plane soon spotted the Eighth Route fighters who were forcibly marching on the ground, and without hesitation, one of them swooped down and dropped aerial bombs on the crowd!
There happened to be the charging team of the Ping An cluster, and the leading team leader saw the enemy bomb falling from the sky from a small black dot, "All lie down on the spot!" Dodge enemy air raids! ”
The soldiers of the Ping'an Cluster, who had experienced a kind of air raid drill, were not alarmed, and they observed the surrounding situation one after another, and lay down on the spot directly in the pit, big rock, or ditch, waiting for the enemy plane's bombs to land.
The four huge explosions ignited some dead branches and leaves in the mountains and forests, and most of the soldiers were safe and sound, except for some soldiers who were unlucky enough to lie down next to the bombs.
"Pay attention to disperse to the woods and hide, the little devil fighter will soon return and dive to shoot!" The captain of the team began to direct the soldiers to dodge the second round of machine gun fire from the little devils in accordance with the norms of the drill.
At this time, you have to try not to appear in the field of vision of the little devil.
"Machine gunners prepare for the air, as long as they are aimed at enemy planes in the direction of the dive, do not need to save bullets, shoot in advance, and strive for several machine guns to fire continuous fire together!"
It's better than nothing, but it's still a struggle.
Sure enough, not long after the captain's words fell, a little devil swooped over and fired directly at the figure on the ground.
Despite the captain's reminder to dodge, there were still fighters who died on the spot within this range of fire.
Several machine guns in the counterattack ran out of bullets in the air, but to no avail.
This is an experienced fighter pilot of the little devil, they know the equipment of the ground forces well, as long as it is controlled at an altitude of more than 500 meters, the counterattack of the light machine gun is equal to zero, basically out of reach.
And the heavy machine guns could not be set up in a hurry to aim at the air, so to speak, at an altitude of 500 meters, let the little devil fighters rage.
Heavy machine gun bullets that dive through the air can wreak havoc on all opponents caught in the net.
In the first place, in the second place, the air force of the little devils dispersed and found one charge after another of the main regiments of the 26th division around the regiment.
Without exception, all of them began to attack.
Among them, a main regiment in Jinsui District completely lacked experience in dealing with fighters, and when the aerial bombs were dropped, the soldiers underground were still running around, and one aerial bomb was enough to severely damage a platoon!
The subsequent dive attack, revealing the fighters, the regiment was once again washed by heavy machine guns, and dozens of fighters were sacrificed in one round of fire.
In just a few minutes, more than a hundred soldiers were killed and wounded!
The battle is beginning to show its tragic side!
Eight fighters caused a great disturbance to Gao Jianwu's deployment at once.
Kenji Xiangcheng began to command the troops, with the brigade as the combat unit to seize the nearby hills, first avoiding the road, in order to avoid Gao Jianwu's preset artillery bombardment, Xiangcheng Kenji's reaction was very fast, and after the heavily armed and guarded little devil withdrew from the road, he quickly regained his formation and stabilized the morale of the army.
Even Kenji Kajo gathered a cavalry wing, ready to find a target and launch a counterattack.
It's just that the terrain here is too unfriendly to the cavalry, and there is not even a decent road, and Kenji Xiangcheng's idea has never been able to land. However, the chief of staff of the little devil Gumen Yihui had an idea, and suggested that the cavalry wing and the baggage team should be set back seven or eight kilometers to stand by.
It really didn't work, they retreated back to Daicheng, opened the way with the cavalry wing, and there was still a way to retreat.
When Kenji Xiangcheng heard that Gumen Kazuki's statement was very reasonable, he really sent the cavalry wing to retreat.
He followed the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 12th Wing and launched a defense on a hill.
Wait for the reconnaissance intelligence given to him by the Air Force fighters.
Since he couldn't talk directly to the air, Kenji Kajo could only wait for the air fighter to fly back and notify him by telegram.
In this way, this reaction cycle is relatively long, and Kenji Xiangcheng is not completely idle, he and Gumen Kazuki unfold the map, and based on their observation of the fighters, they roughly marked seven or eight locations on the map, basically where the fighters found the enemy and began to attack.
"Your Excellency Xiangcheng, the situation is not very good, the enemy has destroyed our artillery wing, I believe that as soon as the fighters fly away, they will continue to launch artillery bombardments on us, we have no means to counterattack the mountain artillery at hand now, the situation is too passive, it is recommended to immediately retreat back to Daicheng under alternate cover, and fight again after regrouping."
"If these locations are all at or above the regimental level of the Eighth Route Route, then the main forces of the two division-level units of the Eighth Route have already come over to appear around us, which shows that this is a major operation planned by the Eighth Route Headquarters against our army." Lonely Door Yihui analyzed rationally.
Seven or eight regiments dared to fight a division, and Kenji Xiangcheng somewhat admired the courage of these eight roads.
It's just that Gao Jianwu accurately knocked out his artillery wing, which made Kenji Kashiro lose his enterprising spirit, and while waiting for information on the mountain, he missed the best time to escape suggested by Lonely Gate Kazuki.
After the little devil fighter finished firing the bullets and flew away, all the troops of the attack group accelerated the speed of the attack in an all-round way, and under the guidance of Gao Jianwu, they pounced on the hills occupied by the little devils.
The battle has progressed to the present, and both sides have somewhat deviated from their original plans or deployments.
Gao Jianwu saw that there was an opportunity, so he re-ordered the artillery to pull out and began to shell the little devils gathered on the mountain!
If he was at the foot of the mountain, Gao Jianwu really couldn't do anything about the blind spots, but for the little devils who were exposed to the mountains around him, Gao Jianwu really wanted to thank Kenji Kashiro, the initiator, for giving him such a good opportunity.
Shells flew from several kilometers away, and there was no second way for the little devil to go but to hide around.
was quickly dispersed down the mountain, and found the location behind the mountain that Gao Jianwu couldn't reach, among which there was a little devil captain who had a flash of inspiration in his head, guessed the peak where Gao Jianwu might be lurking, and volunteered to send someone to occupy this high point!
Everyone guessed that there were artillery observers from the other side nearby, otherwise it would be impossible to carry out a precise strike on this side from a few kilometers away, but only this group leader was the first to rush towards the highest peak in the vicinity with a squadron.
In the distance, Gao Jianwu saw the movement of this squadron little devil, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. With Song Tiecheng here, let alone one squadron, even if two squadrons come, they will be given for nothing.
Gao Jianwu looked at the six roads, washed the ground with cannonballs on all the hilltops occupied by the little devils, and drove them out of the position on the top of the mountain.
It greatly dampened the morale of the little devils.
In this era, the superiority of artillery is simply too strong.
Gao Jianwu stared at the people of the 26th Division who fled to the top of the mountain, and beat him the other hand, Gao Jianwu was always listening to the sound in the air.

At this moment, the casualties of the various units reported have already killed and wounded hundreds of people under the enemy's air raid!
Some of these regiments suffered more than 200 casualties, and such heavy casualties were the worst Gao Jianwu had ever fought.
But at this moment, there was no way to retreat, and the attacking units rushed faster according to the guidance of the goal, and soon some troops exchanged fire with the half-middle-waisted little devil on the other side of the hill!
Having lost its geographical advantage, the Eighth Road had to use the advantage of the attached mortar to launch an attack on the little devils halfway up the mountain.
At present, each main regiment has at least 8 mortars attached to it, each attack group of the Ping'an cluster has more mortars, 16 regimental units, and the two attack groups of the Dagushan guerrilla detachment have also attached 60-mm mortars to the platoon level, and the number of mortars is even higher.
Therefore, as soon as the battle was engaged, the results caused by the differences in weapons and equipment on the battlefield showed a huge difference.
The third attack group of the Ping An cluster. Zhao Dalei looked at the little devil on the mountainside, observed for a while, pointed to the light and heavy machine gun fire point of the little devil, and said to the leader of the mortar detachment to which he belonged: "Concentrate firepower for labor and management, and first knock out those machine gun fire points!" ”
"Machine gun cover, a detachment of commandos ready!"
As the old man of the Ping An cluster, Zhao Dalei is now the number one main force, and he already knows how to skillfully use firepower to crush his opponent.
The people below responded to the call to fight, and after Zhao Dalei observed the distribution of the enemy for a while, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and directly began to call for artillery support!
The mountainside is densely covered with little devils, forming several scattered defense lines, but due to the rush of time, these little devils only lie on the ground and aim at the foot of the mountain Zhao Dalei's department, the two sides are now more than 300 meters apart, the rifle interaction effect is not ideal, mainly using machine guns and mortars, grenadiers in the attack and defense.
Zhao Dalei reported the relative position of the enemy's target to Gao Jianwu through the walkie-talkie, and Gao Jianwu immediately adjusted the 4 mountain guns of the mountain artillery battalion to carry out a covering attack on the target range indicated by Zhao Dalei!
It only took one salvo to see that several of the little devil's heavy machine gun positions were destroyed by artillery fire!
"It's still the big brother of the artillery!" Zhao Dalei looked at the devil's position that was destroyed in an instant, and resisted the urge to continue calling for artillery support.
His Zhao Dalei's brigade is not a soft persimmon, after knocking out the heavy machine gun position that threatens the little devil the most, he will do the rest by himself!
It didn't take long for Zhao Dalei's mortar detachment and the mortars belonging to each detachment to find their positions, and after aiming adjustment and test firing, one mortar shell after another flew directly to the machine gun fire targets of the little devil's brigade!
The infantry detachment stared at the little devil's defense line, watched the mortar attack, and quickly tore through the machine gun fire point defense line that the little devil hastily established, and after clearing most of the little devil's heavy fire point, the infantry detachment did not hesitate to assault!
One by one, they formed a straggler tactical formation, machine gun cover, mortars opened the way, the commandos charged forward, and a set of tactics rushed up the mountainside like a cloud, although the number was about the same as that of the little devils, but the advantage of firepower made the little devils watch their lines tear apart little by little.
Although the little devil's desperate counterattack, grenadiers and melon grenades were full of firepower, and they also caused a lot of casualties to Zhao Dalei's brigade, but this battle was a key battle, whether it was the Ping'an cluster or the pre-war mobilization of Jinsui District, a general mobilization was issued for victory.
The screaming Ping'an cluster, from the captain to the soldiers below, all left suicide notes before the battle, and in the face of the fierce enemy, they must go all out to fight to the death!
