The Eighth Route Army Air Force is ready to take off for battle at any time, and the armored company of the new regiment, several tank destroyers, and two clouded leopard medium tanks that are still being tested have quietly entered Lijia Village.

The villagers of the entire Lijia Village have already retreated, and only the infantry company and armored company of the Eighth Route Army are stationed with more than 600 people.

The devils began to launch an offensive, and in the sound of artillery fire, the 32nd Devil's Division, 20 75-mm field guns of an infantry wing, and six 120-mm howitzers specially dispatched began to fire shells at Lijia Village, which felt like it had been razed to the ground.

At this time, many houses in Lijia Village were bombed into ruins, but fortunately, there were no people living in these houses, and the Eighth Route Army had already entered a state of battle, waiting for the shelling of the devils in the cave.

Although these shellings looked fierce, they had no effect on the Eighth Route Army in the cave, and the devils had to waste a lot of shells this time.

Even the tanks and tank destroyers of the armored company were hiding from the guns of the devils in a hollow.

After all, howitzers and field artillery, their ballistics cannot be very curved, and they will not be able to hit tanks behind mountains.

As soon as this artillery fire rang out, Li Yunlong, who was dozens of kilometers away, knew about it, and the information was quickly sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

All sides began to act, first of all, dozens of combat aircraft of the air force, which began to take off one after another.

These combat planes, including Fury fighters and long-range bombers, were the targets of the operation when they went to bomb the base camp of the little devil's division, whether it was the base camp of the 32nd division or the general battalion of the general commander of the devil's operation.

Of course, there were also ten Fury fighters, as well as twenty gyroplanes, which were to support the Eighth Route Army in Lijia Village.

This time, the gyroplane was dispatched, but it prepared a lot of good things, including anti-tank rockets and Gatling guns.

In the command post in the cave, Zhou Bing, the commander of the fifth company, and Liang Chao, the commander of the armored company, were waiting for the end of the Japanese artillery fire and engaged in a frontal battle with the devils.

Zhou Bing pointed to the north of Lijia Village on the map and said, "You see, it is very likely that the devils will outflank us from here and prevent us from having a chance to break through1"

Liang Chao nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the devil is determined to eat us this time." I don't know how long it will take for the air fire support to arrive, it looks like the shelling has been going on for twenty minutes, it's time to end, and the devils should be attacking. ”

Now the two of them took binoculars and looked down the mountain, only to see that the shelling really began to stop, and the devils began to enter the village, leading the way with a few tanks and a few armored vehicles, followed by the devils' infantry, it seems that the number is really huge.

Liang Chaodao: "If it's just our two companies, we will definitely not be able to withstand it, the devil is at least an infantry wing, and there are tanks in the formation, although we also have tanks and tank destroyers, but the devil tanks that came this time seem to be different, they look bigger!" ”

As soon as the devils entered the village, they saw a piece of scorched earth, and they were also confused when they did not encounter the resistance of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils who rushed to the front were all a little relaxed, and the devils in the tank made jokes.

But at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky, and it was the air combat formation of the Eighth Route Army.

The Devil Wing Captain let out a loud shout and prepared for battle.

All the anti-aircraft machine guns were already aimed at the sky.

The infantry wing did not have anti-aircraft guns, only anti-aircraft machine guns, so now they suffered a lot in the face of ten Fury fighters and twenty gyroplanes.

Because on the Fury fighter and the gyroplane, there are bombs, rockets and Gatling guns, both in range and power, far more than anti-aircraft machine guns.

The air team began to strike at the devils on the ground, starting with the Fury fighters, which swept over the devils at high speed and dropped bombs one after another!

Boom Boom! The devil infantry wing, the loss is not small, these bombs fall in the dense devils, full of lethality, a twenty kilogram bomb, can harvest the lives of several little devils.

Therefore, this round of attacks eliminated hundreds of devils, although the number is not very large, but the psychological deterrent effect on devils is very large, causing a lot of panic among devils.

Taking advantage of the gap in the air firepower, the Eighth Route Army stationed in the village came out of the cave and entered the position to prepare for defense, while the tank destroyers also drove to the front.

Get ready to hit the little devils hard.

The second wave of air strikes began, the gyrocopter roared past from a low altitude, the Gatling machine guns roared, firing at the devils, and for a while a lot of devils were harvested, as soon as those anti-aircraft machine guns fired, they would be quickly locked, followed by a rocket, and suddenly the devils' anti-aircraft machine guns were blown into scrap metal, and the machine gunners went directly to their emperor.

The roar of the tanks rang out, and the devil's new medium tanks began to shell the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

The fire strike from the air seems to have little effect on these medium tanks, unless an anti-tank rocket hits it, but an anti-tank rocket launched in the air has almost no hit rate.

Just then, two medium tanks and tank destroyers of the Eighth Route Army rushed out.

The eighty-eight-millimeter tank gun directly locked onto the devil's medium tank, and hit it with one shot, and suddenly the devil's new medium tank was not blocked, and the turret was directly lifted off.

In the sound of the explosion, mixed with the screams of the devil tank crew.

The commander of the devil was frightened at first glance, why can't the new tank stop the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, and even the tank destroyer of the Eighth Route Army has now destroyed a tank of the Imperial Army.

The situation was very unfavorable, the fire from the air came down, and the devils suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, on the position of the Eighth Route Army, the sound of machine guns and artillery fire was also loud, and the devils' attack was immediately blocked, and the casualties continued to increase. 、

At this time, the pilots of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, looking down from the sky, saw that thousands of devils were beaten to the point where it was difficult to advance an inch.

However, they have run out of ammunition, and they are left to rely on themselves.

The combat aircraft of the air force began to return home.

The battle on the ground was fierce, and when Ono heard this, a dark cloud appeared on his face.

Just then, he heard a roar outside, coming from the sky.

It's the Eighth Route Army Air Force again! And it seems to be a bomber, Ono was very frightened, and immediately notified the air fire support, and at the same time gave an order, all the anti-aircraft artillery fire, ready to fight.
