Chapter 240: Liberation of Taiyuan Six
Xie Tian flew the fighter in the direction of the Luliang base area, and basically did not have to worry about being shot down by the ground forces with anti-aircraft weapons.
Even the little devils did not prepare anti-aircraft weapons, and the Eighth Route Army would not have them.
When he was about to arrive in Jinzhong, he saw a series of car lights speeding up on the road, Xie Tianqing knew that it should be his armored infantry regiment, he called Qin Fen and Li Changshun on the radio, and sure enough, he quickly received a reply from the two.
Xie Tian said: "The devils should be divided into troops now, there is about a wing or so of devils who are cooperating with the Yangquan devils to attack Yanmen Pass, I estimate that the number of devils defending in Jinzhong should not be very large, and even in the state of air defense." But you still can't be underestimated, this time Gangcun Ningji has a planned retreat, and he is likely to set up an unexpected ambush for you. ”
Qin Fen replied: "I analyzed it with Chang Shun just now, the most likely way for the devils to deal with us is landmines, and we have now slowed down our march. But it is very difficult to clear mines at night, and we intend to take a detour and approach Jinzhong from a direction that a devil did not expect. ”
Xie Tian nodded with relief: "Your caution is very reasonable. It is not our goal to recover Jinzhong, and you will rest and wait for my next order after you arrive in Jinzhong. I'll first find out where Ningci in Gangcun is going before making a decision. ”
After ending the call, Xie Tian accelerated and chased in the direction of the Luliang base.
Xie Tian's judgment was still relatively accurate, after Gangcun Ningci led the troops to leave Taiyuan, they marched towards Pingyao through Jinzhong, but did not enter the Luliang base area, but passed by the Luliang base area, and the independent regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Luliang base area was startled, and was mobilizing scattered troops to prepare for a tough battle with this large army, but after this large army arrived in Pingyao, it suddenly turned east and broke away from contact with the Eighth Route Army.
At present, there is only one independent regiment in the Lüliang base area, and this independent regiment is only more than 2,000 people, and it does not dare to rashly take the initiative to attack Okamura Ningji's troops of more than 20,000 people, so they can only report the news to the brigade headquarters.
A day later, the brigade headquarters received the news from the correspondent of the Independent Regiment, and as a result, they were confused and did not know what this devil wanted.
The communication is not smooth, and now the news about the movement of this devil is still pressed on the 343 Brigade and Brigade Headquarters, and even the 115th Division has not yet received the news, let alone the fraternal and neighboring troops.
After Okamura Ningji's troops arrived at Yushe, they passed through the city directly and continued to march eastward without stopping for a moment, abandoning the convergence with the Yangquan devils, which was beyond Xie Tian's expectations.
Xie Tian searched for more than two hours on the route he predicted and did not find any trace of the devil troops, estimated the fuel consumption of the return trip, and tried to chase forward again, originally Xie Tian planned to chase for another half an hour if he had not found it and gave up today's search, but he made a discovery in this pursuit.
In the dark night, you can see a string of lights moving, the lights are not dense, or even sparse, you can only see one from a long distance, but in the air, it is vaguely connected into a line.
This looks like a team walking at night?!
And looking at the spacing of the lights, if this is a team, then the scale of this team is definitely not small, which is completely in line with the characteristics of the troops brought out by Gangcun Ningci from Taiyuan.
Xie Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, and pressed down the aircraft control stick to fly low.
The devils who were marching at night on the road were a little panicked and dazed when they heard the sound of the engine in the air, they were already mentally exhausted by the harassment of Xie Baoqing and his son when they were in Taiyuan, and they must have thought of Xie Baoqing when they heard the sound of the engine of the plane.
And now they are far, far away from Taiyuan, even Xie Baoqing shouldn't be able to catch up here.
So whose plane is in the sky?
Our own?
Ordinary little devil soldiers are naturally confused, but some people are like Spiegel in their hearts, such as Gangcun Ningci.
Gangcun Ningci knew that there was no longer his own fighter deployed in the vicinity, and if there was a plane coming from the sky, then it would be either Xie Baoqing or Chongqing's plane.
Gangmura Ningji instructed the driver to turn off the lights and stop, he pushed the car door and got out of the car, holding a telescope to observe the flashing lights in the sky, and made sure that there was only one plane in the sky.
Gangcun Ningci has already determined that it must be Xie Baoqing who flew this plane at a low altitude, because except for Xie Baoqing, no flight group will fly at night alone, and even if there is a night flight mission, it must be a formation flight, at least three planes.
What's more, this plane flew at a low altitude, obviously coming for his team.
So who else will there be besides Xie Baoqing?
A smile appeared on Gangmura Ningcimune's expression.
He prepared a big gift for Xie Baoqing.
Even if Xie Baoqing doesn't chase after him, this gift will definitely be sent to Xie Baoqing.
If Xie Baoqing chases after him, he will definitely die.
And he, Gangmura Ningji, will also create a miracle in the history of World War II.
Gangcun Ningci stretched out his hand to the entourage beside him expressionlessly: "Give me the gun." ”
"Hey", the entourage reached out and took out a gun from the holster, reversed the handle and handed it to Gangcun Ningci.
This gun has been prepared for several days, and the entourage did not dare to leave for a moment, but now it has really come in handy, and the retinue's heart is also full of hope.
Using a flare gun to kill the bandit leader Xie Baoqing, who had cornered the First Army, was such a clever plan that only Commander Gangcun Ningci could come up with.
Gangmura Ninji raised his flare gun, aimed it at the sky above the troops in front, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang, with a dull gunshot, a red projectile drew a graceful parabola and was hit in the air, exploding with a bang, and the burning incandescent light instantly illuminated the sky, completely exposing the Japanese troops advancing in the night.
Xie Tian, who was flying low-altitude with the Zero fighter in the air, couldn't see what was going on on the ground with wide eyes, it was too dark, and there were shadows of trees on the ground, and he couldn't see anything except those lights.
But thank God didn't dare to shoot rashly, I don't know if there is a team below, whose team it is, what if it hits your own people?
Unfortunately, Xie Tian didn't have any flares in his hand, and he began to be annoyed that he had neglected to bring some flares.
After so many battles with devils, Xie Tian now has a lot of special ammunition in his hands, and flares are the most widely used special ammunition, and Xie Tian naturally has no shortage in his hands, but this time he came out to pursue Gangcun Ningci It was a temporary decision, and the preparation was not sufficient.
As a result, Xie Tian just regretted not bringing a few lights to pop out, and at this moment, a flare suddenly fired in front of him.
In the incandescent light of the flares that were slowly falling, Xie Tian clearly saw that there was a large Japanese army marching on the road, with countless trucks, horse-drawn trucks, armored vehicles, and howitzers towing behind some trucks, and there were quite a few of them.
Howitzers, this must be the Japanese army that escaped from Taiyuan.
Regardless of the purpose of the person who fired the flare, Xie Tian's scalp was already engorged with excitement, and with a flick of his thumb he picked open the safety cover of the machine gun button on the handle, and his thumb pressed the machine gun fire button without hesitation......
