Ryosuke Isoya is still in Taean.

As the division commander of the 10th Division, it was impossible for Ryosuke Isoya to be at the front in person.

There are two brigade commanders, four wing commanders are enough.

His task now is to think about the overall strategy.

Four words:

How to get out of trouble.

It can't really be all broken here.

Absolutely not.

It would be too scary for the Japanese army to bury two complete divisions near Quancheng.

Not a brigade.

Not a wing.

Not a brigade.

It's a complete division! Or two!

If the 10th Division is all broken, the 114th Division will definitely not be able to escape. There was also part of the 5th Division.

Headache.

I don't know how to be good. The way out of life has been cut off.

To the north, the Yellow River Iron Bridge was occupied by the Tuba Road. It is impossible to get through in a short period of time. To the south, there were many national troops. It's swarming all over the mountains.

East?

It's the sea. Running to the beach and waiting for the navy red deer to pick up?

To the west?

There was also a dense national army over there.

What's more, to the west, to the west, deeper into the hinterland of China. That's not stupid. So, it is impossible to go west. There is hope only to the east.

Rush to the beach.

Then hold on and wait for help. Wait for the Navy red deer to pick up.

But the navy red deer ......

The Army's biggest enemy seems to be the Navy Red Deer......

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the distance.

Ryosuke Isoya didn't care at first. Later, it gradually became clear that it was wrong.

Hey?

Why is the gunfire getting more and more intense? Could it be that there is an earth eight ways to kill in?

Yaga!

Tubalu is too deceitful!

Dare to kill his own headquarters!

Taean City ......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion was heard.

Ryosuke Isoya frowned again. This is the sound of mortars. But not the Japanese army's own.

The Japanese were armed with 50-mm grenadiers, as well as 90-mm mortars. But the explosion was clearly a 60-mm mortar. This is a weapon that only the Chinese army has.

Damn it!

There are really Chinese troops trying to infiltrate them.

Exasperation!

More and more I feel like I'm being bullied.

I would love to pick up the phone on my desk and order the front-line troops to fight back fiercely. Be sure to take out the dirt eight roads that will attack you.

Finally hold back.

No need for him to call. The officers below will do the same.

In fact, the Japanese counterattack was indeed very fierce.

The gunfire is getting more and more intense.

The firelight illuminates half the sky.

The Japanese army successively put into one squadron and one brigade......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of gunfire lasted for half an hour before it gradually died down.

Subsequently, a staff officer came to report that a small force of Chinese troops had entered. But not the dirt road. It is impossible to accurately determine the identity of the other party.

"Isn't it Dirt Eight Road?"

"Quack ......"

Ryosuke Isoya's heart kept sinking.

If it's a dirt road. OK. If it means that the national army in the south has not yet arrived.

But if it wasn't for the Tuba Road, it meant that the national army in the south had already pounced.

The situation is serious......

The Chinese army in the south has arrived?

An encirclement is about to form?

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was another fierce gunshot. It's the other direction.

Judging from the distance, it should be outside Taean City.

"Report!"

"It's a Sichuan warlord."

Soon after, a staff officer hurried to report.

This time, the Japanese army judged it. What they encountered was the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army stationed in Teng County.

Old rivals.

It's hard to crack down on in Teng County.

A considerable part of the casualties of the 10th Division were caused by the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.

As soon as the two sides met, the fight was in full swing. Cannot help doing something. Both sides are constantly building up their troops. In the end, there was a big fight.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army retreated unwillingly.

They were new and quite tired. Need to take a break and fight again.

"How much do we lose?"

"A squadron."

"What about the Sichuan Army?"

"More than 30 ......"

"Yaga!"

Ryosuke Isoya has no energy.

In the encounter outside the city, the Japanese lost more than 100 people. The losses of the Sichuan army are only more than thirty?

Damn it!

If this continues, the 10th Division will definitely be consumed.

In fact, the strength of the current 10th Division has been seriously damaged. Infantry losses have already exceeded half.

The continuous fighting left the 10th Division very wounded.

Even if all the other personnel were integrated into the combat units, it would not help. The feeling of being besieged is very uncomfortable.

Especially the siege without any preparation.

Originally, he was sitting on a train and singing, and he went south, thinking that he could easily defeat the Chinese army and then occupy the strategic town of Xuzhou.

Unexpectedly, it was blocked in Teng County. Then, the drive takes a sharp turn. From offense to defense.

Now it's about to become a trapped beast again. The trapped beast is still fighting, and it is good to have the ability. If you don't have the ability to ......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, there was another gunshot from the north.

Ryosuke Isoya doesn't care anymore. Most likely, which Chinese army arrived. A tentative attack is being launched.

Damn it!

How many Chinese troops are close to ......

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

Suddenly, a staff officer hurried over.

His expression was obviously a little flustered.

"Yaga!"

"Calm down!"

Ryosuke Isoya kindly reprimanded.

Only then did the staff officer realize his tense and hurriedly bent down to apologize.

"Commander, it's Dirt Eight Road."

"Hmmm......"

"Their attacks are very fierce, and our positions have already been breached."

"Order the squadron leader to apologize."

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Squadron Leader, and Your Excellency the Group Leader have all been shattered......

"Nani?"

Ryosuke Isoya gradually realizes that something is wrong.

North?

Dirt Eight Road?

Fierce attack?

No way......

Isn't the Dirt Eight Road a defensive state? How did you turn from defense to offense?

Worst......

Big things are not good......

Could it be that Tubalu has changed its strategy?

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Sure enough, the gunfire from the north became more and more intense.

Faintly, a very violent explosion could be heard. It feels more powerful than a 90mm mortar.

Indissoluble.

Could it be that the heavy artillery was pulled up by the Dirt Eighth Road?

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, a large number of flames appeared in the northern sky.

The darkness before dawn made the dark red flames stand out. But it looks like white light. I can't tell the colors.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Then, the Japanese positions erupted in clusters of fire.

Damn it!

It's it again!

Ryosuke Isoya was anxious and angry. This is the secret weapon of the dirt eight roads.

I don't know how it was launched. You can shoot a lot of shells at once. It felt like an artillery battalion, but there was only one gun.

In previous battles, many Japanese troops were blown up by this kind of earthen artillery.

That's right, it's an earthen cannon.

Artillery unique to the Tsuchihachi Road. Abbreviated as earth cannon.

It contains slander and contempt.

However, this earthen cannon is very deadly.

Especially for the Japanese infantry. Once covered by this earthen cannon, there is basically no chance of survival.

No, a round of artillery shelling down, the Japanese casualties were at least fifty.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A second round of shelling arrived.

Clusters of fire broke out, and Japanese soldiers continued to die.

Ryosuke Isoya frowned.

Damn it!

It's really dirt eight roads!

What do they want to do? Attacking Taean City?

It's too much of a deception!

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

I couldn't hold back any longer and picked up the phone. Strictly order all brigade commanders and wing commanders to launch a counterattack immediately.

Be sure to expel the dirt eight roads.

Outcome......

The sound of gunfire continued.

It can be seen that the battle is fierce.

Thankfully, it was dawn soon. The Japanese attacked from multiple angles and counter-encircled the Tuba Road.

The situation is finally clear. The attack was a small force of the Dirt Eighth Road. There were only more than thirty people. But it was very well equipped and extremely combat-ready, which made the Japanese very wounded.

After daybreak, the gunfire finally stopped.

Soon, the front-line troops reported that the small force of the incoming Tubalu had been expelled.

But......

No bodies were left behind.

It is also unknown if there were any casualties. But the Japanese army shattered more than 300 people.

"Got it."

Ryosuke Isoya didn't bother to scold Yaga.

It's useless to scold.

Swearing doesn't solve the problem.

The assault of a small group of dirt and eight roads is really terrible. All troops were ordered to defend to the death.

However, the dirt hachi road did not reappear.

Come as fast as you go.

The one who launched the assault was Zhang Chu. In fact, it is to earn a little bit of sporadic rewards.

The focus is on the P-38 Lightning fighter.

It's a pity that after some fighting, only one fighter was obtained.

The previous four planes, as if they were newbie gift packages, deliberately coaxed you into the pit. When you top up, you realize that things are not so simple.

All right......

One is one for another.

In a hurry. Save slowly!

It takes many days for someone else's aircraft factory to produce a fighter!

Back at the airport.

Ma Mingyu and Lin Haitao are still pondering.

It was also the first time they had seen such a peculiar aircraft. There are three fuselages too! The tails are also attached.

The fuselage is almost entirely made of stainless steel. Very hard. Ordinary machine gun bullets can't penetrate it. The pilot's cockpit is in the middle of the fuselage. There are separate fuselage cover on the left and right sides, which is relatively safe.

However, its huge fuselage is destined to be very impressively heavy. The empty weight is close to six tons!

A 20-mm cannon was mounted. Reserve 150 rounds.

Four 12.7 mm Browning heavy machine guns were also mounted. 500 rounds per door.

It can also hang more than 1,400 kilograms of bombs. That is, five 250-kilogram aerial bombs.

The firepower can be described as super ferocious.

Maximum combat radius, 1700 km. The maximum flight range is 3500 km.

It's powerful.

It's a pity that there are only five of them! Can't do anything big......

Besides, I don't know how to fly an airplane myself.

Suddenly, Zhang Chu's mind moved.

I don't know how to fly a plane though. However, I can let Ma Mingyu bomb the Japanese invaders!

P-38 although it was a fighter. But it is also possible to attack on the ground.

It can carry a very large number of bombs. Can be used as a bomber. Cannons and large-caliber bullets can also easily strafe ground targets.

It doesn't matter if it has an effect or not. The key is to exert great psychological pressure on the Japanese invaders.

Let the Japanese realize that their good days are over.

They are also going to be bombed.

"Ma Mingyu!"

"Here!"

"You're ready to take off to attack the Japanese in Tai'an."

"Ahh

Ma Mingyu reflexively agreed. Then it became clear that something was wrong.

Ah, the Japanese who are going to attack Taean?

"What? What's the problem? ”

"Nope."

Ma Mingyu hurriedly agreed.

He was originally a fighter pilot. Attack this kind of thing, for sure.

But this P-38 Lightning fighter has not been flown before. Unfamiliar. I just groped for a while, but I only knew the basics. Air dogfights and the like......

Oh, this one doesn't need to.

Because to attack Tai'an, there will definitely be no Japanese planes to intercept it.

So what are you waiting for?

Inspect the weapon immediately.

All machine guns, cannons are fully loaded. Under the wings, five 250-kilogram bombs were also suspended.

Yes!

Take off immediately.

Smooth take-off.

The Lightning fighter took off and flew south.

Zhang Chu secretly regretted it.

It would be nice if I could fly to the sixth of the first time. At least you can follow along and join in the fun.

But......

Now I can only wait.

Ma Mingyu took off in the air, adjusted slightly, and flew south.

Soon reached the sky over Taean. Of course, the Japanese invaders quickly found out.

"Airplanes?"

Ryosuke Isoya was overjoyed.

Was it the Japanese army's own plane? It's finally time to see your own plane.

Many Japanese soldiers also stood up and waved at the planes in the sky.

Ah, at last, there is hope for life......

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

The fighters began to dive and strafe.

The Japanese on the ground suddenly tragic. Many Japanese soldiers were smashed on the spot.

It's all 12.7mm machine gun bullets! At an altitude of more than 500 meters, the human body can also be easily shattered.

Not to mention the 20mm cannon!

"Yaga ......"

The Japanese invaders, who were caught off guard, suddenly suffered heavy losses.

Machine gun fire swept through, and the Japanese were in disarray.

The remnants of the Japanese hurriedly hid in various concealments. One by one is like a lost dog.

"Yaga ......"

Ryosuke Isoya's mouth gradually widened. The expression was in a trance.

Hit hard. It's true.

I felt like I had suffered a 10,000-ton critical hit. My mind went almost blank.

It's the enemy's plane!

Not the Japanese army's own! It's the enemy's! It's the enemy's! It's the enemy......

"Nani ......"

The other Japanese officers were also unacceptable.

Hope turns to disappointment. Disappointment turns to despair.

Yaga!

It's a plane for the Chinese!

Yaga!

It's a plane for the Chinese!

Flee in a hurry.

At the same time try all sorts of counterattacks.

However......

The 10th Division did not have anti-aircraft weapons.

They had rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, infantry guns, mortars, and 105 mm heavy cannons......

The question is......

None of the weapons can effectively threaten aircraft strafing in the air.

There are no professional anti-aircraft weapons.

"Yaga!"

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

The only choice was to organize rifle and light machine gun strafing into the air.

However, Ma Mingyu's height is more than 500 meters. This is no longer a threat to rifles and light machine guns.

The fuselage protection of the P-38 is very solid. Almost all of them are stainless steel.

Self-closing fuel tank. The engine and fuel tank are separated. Bullets can't penetrate at all.

At an altitude of more than 500 meters, Ma Mingyu could not see the target on the ground clearly. But it doesn't matter, the Japanese can still see it vaguely. As long as there are Japanese invaders, direct strafing is enough.

Zhang Chu's meaning is clear. It doesn't matter if there is a result or not. The key is to let the Japanese know that the Chinese planes are coming.

"Yaga ......"

Indeed, Ryosuke Isoya became nervous.

Chinese planes appeared. Although there is only one. But there will definitely be more to come.

Annoying!

The Japanese army is completely unable to resist the air threat!

Who would have thought that the Chinese's plane would actually come to Tai'an! Who can withstand this kind of open-ground attack?

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a loud bang came.

It was Ma Mingyu who threw a 250-kilogram bomb.

The Japanese invaders are tragic.

Before, it was they who sent out aviation to bomb others. Unexpectedly, now it is my turn to taste what it is like to be bombed.

"Boom ......"

The second bomb fell.

"Boom ......"

And then the third......

Fourth......

Fifth ......

It felt so exciting.

There were actually five aerial bombs! The Japanese on the ground are an absolute tragedy.

In fact......

The Japanese were indeed bombed badly.

However, it is mainly from psychological blows. Morale plummeted.

Previously, the Japanese army did not need air defense at all.

The skies are completely dominated by Japanese planes. Only the Japanese bombed the enemy's share.

Who would have thought that now the situation would turn around, and it would be the turn of the Japanese army to be bombed. It's still so badly bombed. Directly five large bombs.

And that's just an enemy plane......

What if it's the next cross?

What if it's more?

Afraid......

Despair......

Ryosuke Isoya is also in a hurry to report to Nishio Shouzo and Terauchi Shouichi.

"Nani?"

"Nani?"

Both were shocked.

In the sky over Tai'an, there were actually Chinese planes bombing?

Is that still there?

This is to hasten the demise of the Japanese divisions!

It's impossible to resist.

Because the Chinese have bombers!

Aviation was hastily ordered to investigate. It turned out that it was not an aircraft of the National Air Force.

That......

Could it be a dirt plane?

Yaga!

The Eighth Route Army suddenly has a plane?

Annoying......

Despair......

There are also airplanes on the dirt road......
