Chapter 106: Empty Space and Land as One
The rout of the Japanese army was doomed, because the current Eighth Route Army was not the Eighth Route Army of two years ago.
Now many devils are very aware of current affairs and have escaped.
However, those devils who ran slowly became the ghosts of the guns of the Eighth Route Army, and those devils who were still in front turned back from time to time to see if the pursuers had caught up.
Of course, the devils are not really completely collapsed, and some of the devil troops in the rear still quickly organized the force of counterattack.
Some anti-tank guns, mortars became the best counterattack weapons for devils.
Several tanks and tank destroyers rushed up first, and suddenly they were hit by devils, boom!
I saw a clouded leopard medium tank in front of me, which was shot in the side, and suddenly stopped, the track was broken, and the shell drilled into the body of the car, and exploded, and the tanker inside quickly climbed out, and now the tank is scrapped.
If you want to repair it, the cost is also very high. But now, there must be no way.
Only wait for the battle to end, and then drag it back for overhaul.
However, the rest of the tanks and destroyers began to color, and the Japanese gunners who had exposed their positions were locked in this way, and with the sound of tank shelling, the devil gunners and their anti-tank guns not far away turned into blood mist and parts.
At the same time, the howitzers of the Eighth Route Army also began to roar, and they carried out heavy shelling of the target area in front, which would create better conditions for the offensive.
As the shelling continued, the tanks and infantry in front of them also quickly rushed to the position of the devils.
This time, the devils were so beaten by artillery fire that they couldn't raise their heads, so in the face of the charge of the Eighth Route Army, it was difficult for the devils to pose much of a threat, and only some machine guns were strafing.
Some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell down after being shot, but many more soldiers rushed into the Japanese positions and fired at the Japanese troops.
The two sides are in the position, you fight back and forth, and when this kind of close combat, the assault rifle of the Eighth Route Army has a greater advantage.
Because it is an automatic rifle, it reacts quickly, unlike the Japanese army's 38 big cover, which has to pull the bolt or something to shoot a shot, which is too troublesome.
The fighting continued until late at night, when it was temporarily stopped.
However, the next morning, a new battle began, and today the Eighth Route Army Air Force was dispatched again, and Duan Yunpeng personally led dozens of fighters to fly to the combat area to prepare to bomb and strafe the ground targets of the devils.
However, this time, the Japanese army also sent a powerful air combat force, and 80 Japanese fighters met Duan Yunpeng and them in the air.
This battle is very important to the Eighth Route Army Air Force, and it is necessary to achieve an overwhelming victory, otherwise the little devil's air force will continue to stop the Eighth Route Army Air Force from fighting.
So this time, Duan Yunpeng couldn't take care of much, and led everyone to kill the devil's array.
Many of the pilots of the Japanese army are veterans, but there are also some novices who have joined, because they have suffered a lot of losses on the Chinese battlefield.
Koizumi is a novice pilot, he has flown the new fighter for less than 100 hours, and he has dozens of hours of flying experience before, but this is the first time he has participated in real combat.
Seeing the fighters of the Eighth Route Army Air Force rushing over, Koizumi immediately reacted, and together with his teammates, he threw away the auxiliary fuel tank, so that the drag of the flight could be reduced.
He began to climb at an accelerated pace, preparing to gain an advantage in height, and then dived down to attack the enemy.
Now the Qiushui fighter he pilots is a copy of the Fury fighter of the Eighth Route Army, so the performance of the two is about the same, and now he uses the decrease in speed in exchange for the advantage of altitude.
He had climbed to a higher altitude, but now he was only traveling at about three hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, and he saw two Fury fighters, preparing to attack his teammates.
So he knew right away that this was the ideal moment to attack, and as soon as Koizumi pushed the throttle valve up, the engine immediately roared.
He piloted the Qiushui fighter jet, dived down, and then put one of the Fury fighters of the Eighth Route Army into the halo of the sight.
Originally, he thought that he would definitely succeed this time, but he did not expect that the enemy was very cunning, he did not trap it, and the enemy adopted mobile tactics to get rid of his pursuit.
Suddenly, he saw another Fury fighter rushing towards him from the direction of seven o'clock, and Koizumi knew that it was broken, and he had been hit.
He piloted the Autumn Water fighter and began to maneuver, trying to get rid of his opponent.
How do you know that he met Duan Yunpeng this time.
Duan Yunpeng aimed at the fake Fury Akatsumi fighter in front of him, and pressed the launch button of the Gatling gun.
Immediately, the dense bullets hit the clouds, and the Qiushui fighter quickly lost control in the rain of bullets, its wings and fuselage were punched out of several holes, and the pilot was directly killed.
The fighter jet emitted black smoke and fell to the ground, and the explosion was very strong.
The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the pilots of the Eighth Route Army followed Duan Yunpeng to learn new tactics, specifically against the air combat tactics of the fake Li Gui Qiushui fighters, so they played well at this time.
Soon more than a dozen Qiushui fighters were shot down, while the Eighth Route Army Air Force lost only three Fury fighters and two were slightly damaged.
This exchange ratio is very good.
So the pilots of the Eighth Route Army, one by one, were full of confidence and fighting spirit, and began to pursue the fighters of the little devils.
With the help of more advanced engines, the Fury has better acceleration, so they can often catch up with the Devil's Autumn Water Fighters by diving down into the clouds from a higher position, and then they use their Gatling guns to slam down on the Autumn Water Fighters.
There will be an autumn fighter jet, which was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.
The air battle was fierce, and after about half an hour, the battle ended, and after the Japanese lost more than forty fighters, the others fled, and the Eighth Route Army lost eleven fighters on its side, a few of which were slightly damaged, and the effect was not bad.
It's not a complete victory, but it's a big win.
Next, Duan Yunpeng and the others used machine guns to support the ground with fire, and shot a lot of devils.
The results of this air-ground joint operation were very good, and the battle lasted for more than half a month, and in the end, the Eighth Route Army successfully recovered 20,000 square kilometers of lost territory and eliminated more than 50,000 devils.
This campaign was very successful, after all, the losses of the Eighth Route Army itself were much smaller, and only more than 10,000 people were killed, which was a ratio of one to four.
