Chapter 180 Yeah, hair loss! The target was hit!

At first, when the Yellow River saw the Japanese aircraft like a falcon, it was still a little scared. After all, this was the first time that it was close contact with an enemy bomber.

But the performance of Deputy Commander Han leading the anti-aircraft artillery force made him extremely bloody.

The fire snakes fired from the ground captured enemy planes in the sky like ropes. The firepower nets that woven in the sky made Xiaoli Renhang explode brilliant sparks in the air.

Seeing this, Huang He knew that the ending was decided. While moving the laboratory stuff to the car, he sighed to himself: "All efforts are worth it, and we will get stronger and stronger!"

This kind of explosive news soon reached the headquarters.

As soon as the Japanese plane entered the guard circle, the Logistics Department sent a message. This battle implicated everyone's hearts, and everyone was nervously waiting for the result.

When a staff officer walked into the combat conference room with documents, the deputy commander-in-chief ran over quickly and snatched the battle report from the other party.

After reading at a glance, our general trembled with excitement.

Although Li Yunlong had previously attacked Taiyuan Airport, he killed more enemy planes than he has today.

But the meaning of these two things is different. It was the first time that the Eighth Route Army had massacred enemy planes from the sky. In the future, the Japanese would definitely not dare to send reconnaissance planes to drill into the base area without any restraint.

"Look at it all! Another unprecedented victory!"

The deputy general staff member was the first to take over the battle report. He turned to the last page to check the results, and then passed it to the staff members who were looking around.

"I never expected that the war loss ratio was so beautiful. Our newly established anti-aircraft artillery unit killed fifteen enemy aircraft at the cost of three artillery groups."

"It's really my first battle, I will win!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fierce applause immediately erupted in the entire combat conference room. The deputy commander-in-chief nodded and expressed his opinion.

"But we still need to strengthen our training and strive to equip each main regiment with an anti-aircraft artillery company in the next year, so that even without the air force, the safety of the field troops can be guaranteed."

"Maybe one day in the future, you can see a ten-star anti-aircraft cannon!"

Facts have proved that human joys and sorrows are not consistent.

Unlike the cheers of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Department, the news of the heavy losses of the Land Airlines made the First Army headquarters silent. Yoshio Shinozuka came to Qinxian Airport outside Taiyuan City with a dark face.

When he learned that the Lieutenant General was going to come and ask about the battle in person, Naoto Takamatsu briefly dealt with his injuries, and then went to the airport command center with the help of the ground crew.

Faced with the only seeds of the 29th Independent Flight Team, the old Japanese did not go directly to fight, but chose to suppress their anger.

"What? Ambush? Just by the Eighth Route Army? How dare they?"

Although things have become a certain fact, Shinozuka Yoshio is still unwilling to accept it.

It would be fine if the infantry's light weapons were surpassed. Their army was not known for their firepower. The strong individual quality and tactical cooperation were the essence of life, and weapons were not as good as those of the enemy.

But if the advantage in the air is gone, it will be cracked directly.

As a lieutenant general of the North China Front Army, he remembered how his brother country bullied the artillery regiment of the Jinsui Army with bombers at that time. If the two levels reversed, he would rather slaughter.

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and put aside the messy thoughts in his mind. The old devil stared at his only survivor and asked in a trembling tone:

"Does the Eighth Route Army also have fighter jets? What did you encounter?"

The Japanese pilot with bandages wrapped around his head and his arms were wrapped into rice dumplings did not dare to hesitate. He lowered his head and replied:

"As soon as we flew to the destination, we encountered the enemy's hidden anti-aircraft artillery position. Judging from my experience, the Eighth Route Army's gunners are still very immature, but there are too many."

"At least three hundred anti-aircraft guns fired at us volleys, and we lost six comrades in the first wave of attacks."

Obviously, Naoto Takamatsu exaggerated the number of anti-aircraft guns.

The failure of this offensive has a lot to do with the misjudgment of the bomber formation. But except for himself, all his teammates went to see the Sky Locust, and even the people who were on the same plane lost too much blood and died in battle.

The devil was afraid that the commander would be angry and directly asked him to follow Asakawa Zhengzhan's pace, so he lied.

"Three hundred doors?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's pupils shrank, and when he heard such an outrageous number, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

But he knew Asakawa's ability. He was bold and careful with his excellent technology and could basically travel across North China by driving a Type 97 fighter. Such a powerful general was broken and must have encountered a large number of anti-aircraft guns.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army has given itself more than once or twice. No matter how unbelievable it is, it has to accept reality.

When he thought of his two beloved generals' deaths one after another, Yoshio Shinozuka felt his chest very stuffy. For a moment, the sky seemed to collapse, and it hurts! It hurts so much!

The old devil spitted out a mouthful of blood. Before he completely fainted, he forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief and said to Hideyoshi Nanshan beside him:

"Quick! Generate electricity to Kennao Okazaki! Let their brigade be careful! There must be no accident in his troops!"

After saying this, he completely fainted.

The reason why Yoshio Shinozuka cares about Kennao Okazaki is so concerned about it because there is a chariot squadron in this brigade. It is a precious armored force and is comparable to the importance of Renhang.

The tanks of Xiaolizi are far inferior to those of Europe and the United States in terms of scale and technology.

In the Battle of Nomenkan, the armored troops were even more defeated by the first generation of steel torrents. But even such industrial garbage can definitely be domineering on the battlefield of the Republic of China with low firepower density.

Although the quality and quantity are not very good, we have to admit that the tactics are pretty good.

During the Nanchang Battle, Okamura Yasuji once assembled hundreds of tanks to launch an attack. This kind of armored cluster blitzkrieg was one year earlier than Sandeko.

After the first army's sweep began, the Okazaki Brigade headed north from the Zhongtiao Mountain area and followed the road through Changzhi toward the base in southeastern Shanxi.

When Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from Yamazaki Brigade, the old devil immediately contacted Kennao Okazaki. The other party's brigade was the closest to the closest, and he was the best candidate for support.

At this time, the location of this motorized force is 70 kilometers away from Wuxiang County.

All the soldiers did not know that their land aviation had already been wiped out under anti-aircraft artillery, and were still dreaming of jointly destroying the Eighth Route Army Arsenal together.

Suddenly, a staff officer with a radio station on his back came to Kennao Okazaki. He looked serious and reported the order he had just received.

"Old Master Zhongzuo! News from the headquarters that the 29th Independent Flying Team has been completely destroyed!"

"Our mission has changed, and the Chief of Staff asked the troops to stop advancing. He immediately met with the Takamura Brigade of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade and then waited for the next step."

"Lt. General Shinozuka specifically reminds you to be careful of the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank troops."

Hearing these incredible words, Kenna Okazaki subconsciously looked at his watch. Less than an hour passed since they received the support order.

"Nani!?"

"A brigade, a flying brigade is gone? Still so fast? Are we really fighting the Eighth Route Army?"

Originally, Kenna Okazaki didn't believe that the enemy had anti-tank weapons, but after hearing that all sixteen planes were shot down, he subconsciously shrank his neck.

If you can kill so many planes, the other party must have anti-aircraft guns.

Recalling the Eighth Route Army's recent large number of weapons to be equipped with Gaul chickens, he immediately remembered the Hatchkas 25mm anti-aircraft gun.

That was the father of the Type 96 25 high-angle machine gun of the Diguo Type 95, and the effect of shooting ground targets is quite excellent. Moreover, the weapon is very versatile. It can spray tanks and infantry on wheels.

The most outrageous thing is that the initial speed is not low, and the kinetic energy is top among the same level of weapons, and it is very inappropriate.

Let’s look at our own small and exquisite chariot, the armor thickness is only 6 to 12 mm.

If the Eighth Route Army really had Hatchacas' anti-aircraft guns, they could even blow up all their chariot squadrons without even having to go around the side. When would they not run away?

Just when he was about to give the order, ten 25×109mm anti-tank shells were fired from the outside of 700 meters, and three of the ten Type 95 light battles in the team immediately fell into trouble!

A tank soldier crawled out of a chariot, his face covered in blood and was covered in minced flesh, and shouted loudly at Ken Okazaki:

"The captain lost consciousness! The driver was killed! The engine was damaged! We can't move!"

———

Before the Japanese's mobilization officially began, the intelligence personnel and underground workers at the headquarters were staring at the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

There are all Yoshio Shinozuka's aces, with three divisions of enemies and armored troops. If the First Army wants to attack the southeastern part of Shanxi, it will definitely use the troops there.

In order to deal with the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, the brigade commander assigned the ten anti-tank guns he had just obtained to the independent regiment and the new regiment defending along the highway.

Although Ding and Kong cooperated ingeniously with one attack and one defense, they were essentially still basic regiments and the artillery was not strong enough.

With this in mind, the thin staff lent the artillery of the brigade headquarters to them, so that the troops could better manipulate new weapons.

After receiving the order, the Independent Group and the New First Group immediately set out from Wuxiang.

The strongholds along the Yulu Highway were cleaned up in the second phase of the Hundred Regiments Battle. At this time, the Japanese had not yet rebuilt the bunkers and artillery towers, and the two regiments were unobstructed on the road without encountering any enemies.

They headed south all the way, and after two reconnaissances, they found a suitable ambush area.

If the enemy's tanks want to cut into the depths of the base, they must take the highway. There is a winding mountain road between Changzhi and Wuxiang, which is a must-pass place for the Japanese.

The climbing slope of the Nine Five Light Battle is 30~40, and with the help of engineers, it is definitely no problem to pass.

When the enemy came down from the winding mountain road, the tanks were not fast and were very suitable for attack. With a large number of mines to restrain the infantry, the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment basically walked and fought as soon as they wanted.

After waiting for two days, Okazaki Brigade finally appeared.

In the front of the team were two three-hoppers and a Type 97 truck, followed by a large number of infantry and tanks.

Through the telescope, Ding and Kong saw grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and Type 92 infantry cannons, which were all very conventional weapons except tanks.

Before the large army went down the mountain, the Japanese in the car immediately started shooting at will with crooked handles.
