Chapter 34 Return to the Colors
The double-three-five anti-aircraft gun was the first to fire because it had the longest range and the strongest firepower.
The pilots of the devil saw that they were firing at them in several places on the ground, and their faces suddenly changed, what's the matter, the Eighth Route Army still has such strong anti-aircraft firepower, this mission is too dangerous, there are a lot of shells flying towards them.
Sakuragi, the captain of the devil's flying squadron, shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, this is an anti-aircraft gun of the Dirt Eight Road, you can't be hit, otherwise it's over!" ”
Indeed, the combat planes of the devils are all very fragile, without armor protection, and with just a few 35-mm shells, it is possible to shoot down a bomber like the Type 96 land attack, not to mention those two-wing Type 95 fighters, which are very easy to shoot down.
It's just that those bulky and slow bombers can't do any maneuvering, and there are 95-type fighters, which are also very slow, so the devil pilots are frightened, if this is shot down, it will be miserable, because even if the parachute jump is successful, it will be caught by the dirt eight roads, and it will be very miserable at that time.
Therefore, these devil pilots are working hard to fly the plane and avoid the counterattack of the ground anti-aircraft fire.
It seems that they still look up to the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong, and indeed the devils also know that Li Yunlong has a lot of anti-aircraft firepower, but before they came, those pilots didn't know.
So now, the pilots of the devils are scolding their mothers, didn't they send them to death this time to carry out such a mission?
Of course they would have liked to bomb an army that has no air defense, but now it is too dangerous.
A devil pilot, looking at the wingman next to him, was hit by several shells on the wing, and immediately half of the wings were torn apart, and the plane dived directly into the ground with a whirl.
That's right, the devil pilot of this plane didn't even have a chance to escape, because this was a tailspin, and the plane at this time didn't have any ejection seats, so naturally he had to close his eyes and wait for death.
For a while, several devils' combat planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire, double three or five anti-aircraft guns, as well as high-level dual-purpose heavy machine guns, all played a great role, especially anti-aircraft guns, the bombers that fight devils are not too good, if you use heavy machine guns, it is not so easy to shoot down large bombers, after all, that thing is big.
Of course, the bombing and strafing of the devils also caused some casualties to the Eighth Route Army, but in general, the impact was not great, and now the devils' fleet has flown away, and only twenty-four can go back.
This time he lost six planes, and the devil squadron leader was still very angry.
After all, these planes and pilots are all his hard work.
Then Li Yunlong ordered to hunt and kill the fleeing 36th Brigade of Devils more fiercely, and all the field artillery and mortars began to spray angry shells, constantly falling among those fleeing devils, constantly taking away the lives of one devil after another.
Li Yunlong stood on a high ground, holding a telescope to observe the current battle situation, seeing that the devil had collapsed, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang excitedly: "Old Zhao, we may have to make an unprecedented contribution this time, the devil's brigade, let's not say that it will be wiped out, at least let it have only half a life left." ”
Indeed, it is not so easy to eliminate all these nearly 10,000 devils, this is not a situation where the devils are completely surrounded, and now the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army are also suffering a lot of losses, so it is very remarkable to be able to eliminate half of the devils this time.
If you want to eliminate a brigade, then you have to do it.
Don't say that there is no Eighth Route Army, even there are very few veterans, and in the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War, they can be counted.
For example, in the Battle of Kunlun Pass in December 1939, the 21st Brigade of the Devils was completely annihilated.
However, the casualties of the Chinese army were greater than those of the devils, and it was only after sacrificing 17,000 people that the brigade of the devils was completely annihilated, and the number of the Chinese army was several times that of the devils.
Major General Masao Nakamura, commander of the 21st Brigade of the Devils in that battle, was killed, and two Devil planes were shot down.
Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Yes, in this battle, our new regiment has played a majestic role and created a miracle, the 36th Brigade of the devil is elite!" ”
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Lao Tzu is the elite of devils!" ”
Both of them are very happy, and now there is basically no chance for the devil to turn the tables.
Besides, the devils who escaped, all of them can't wait to have two more legs, and the Eighth Route Army is too strong to provoke.
One shell after another fell, and the devils screamed miserably.
Although there are some devils who are also very strong, not afraid of death, and want to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, but in such a situation, it is useless at all.
The devils now know that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is already different from what it used to be, and it must not be hard to fight with the Eighth Route Army in the future, but other Chinese armies can be bullied.
After counting the battlefield, it was found that the 36th Brigade of the Devil had been annihilated by about 4,000 people and 5,000 people had escaped, but the brigade commander Saburo Ono was killed, and two wing commanders were also killed, and more than 100 officers at all levels of the Devil were eliminated, so it can be said that this time it was a big victory.
After the victory, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also cheered, and they knew that they had to thank one person for this victory, that was Duan Yunpeng.
If it weren't for Duan Yunpeng to create so many powerful weapons, they would not have been able to win this battle, and Duan Yunpeng's aerial fire support was also crucial.
This time, Li Yunlong also credited Duan Yunpeng with the credit for killing the commander of the 36th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Saburo Ono.
It should indeed be remembered like this, because Ono Saburo was the first to be seriously injured by Duan Yunpeng's explosion, otherwise he would not have been bombed again.
The leaders of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, after receiving the good news of this great victory, were so happy that they couldn't sleep.
So this time, whether it was Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Duan Yunpeng, they were all commended by the headquarters.
However, it has not been upgraded, because it is not easy now, but Li Yunlong's new regiment is now going to expand a large number of recruits, after all, in this battle, the loss of soldiers is also a lot, from the original 4,000 to 3,000.
So this time, Li Yunlong thought about expanding to more than 6,000 people, although it was not comparable to the devil's brigade, it had to be stronger than a wing.
