Chapter 278 Receiving the Fifth Fleet
Qingchuan Wenyou Squadron, these Japanese soldiers who had just been sent from the wing headquarters for reinforcements, only discovered after arriving on the battlefield:
The situation on the battlefield has really changed.
In the past, it was the National Army soldiers who attacked or defended under heavy firepower.
Often at the cost of huge casualties, the line of defense continues to be lost.
They are also like this today. The National Army's infantry artillery, tank artillery, and mortars have never stopped.
This makes Squadron Leader Qingchuan Wenyou very embarrassed:
Although his Japanese soldiers had been fighting desperately, they could not withstand the fierce bombardment.
Machine gunner Ichiro Tanaka is dead.
When the heavy machine gun was replaced by the fourth machine gun shooter, the heavy machine gun was finally destroyed by an artillery shell.
This section of the defense line was also declared lost. Captain Hayashi Yunosuke saw the battle of the Japanese on the front line and could no longer say anything.
It's not that the Japanese are not trying their best, it's that the national army is too powerful.
The powerful firepower and powerful troops directly pressed over the two infantry cannons originally included in the brigade.
The bunker had been blown up a long time ago. If the entire brigade only had grenades and heavy machine guns as heavy weapons.
But such weapons cannot deal with tank attacks at all.
The tanks of the national army no longer advanced as fiercely as before. They advanced twenty meters and stopped like a fortress.
Use machine guns to clear out all the Japanese within a hundred meters, covering the infantry behind to follow.
After all the Japs within a radius of 100 meters were cleared, the tank moved forward again.
Just advancing steadily step by step made the step-by-step defense plan laid out by Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke completely useless.
Onodera Hideki's squadron and Kiyokawa Fumyu's squadron had suffered all casualties and wanted to continue to slow down the attack speed of the national army.
Captain Hayashi Ryunosuke probably wants to send the entire infantry regiment up.
Wei Mingyang encountered a blocking attack by a large group of Japanese infantry here. The 36th Division and the 87th Division also encountered an attack from the Chongteng Detachment.
These two divisions remembered that there was the 16th Artillery Regiment behind them, and they wanted to ask for artillery support.
The defense lines in front of these two divisions failed to pass the test firing, so a reconnaissance aircraft had to be sent out to provide artillery observation and guidance in the air.
In this airspace, the Japanese planes had just been destroyed, and soon four planes from the National Army appeared.
This time, the three fighter jets just appeared and started strafing the Japanese on the ground.
They also understood: there is a magic cannon down there, and it is impossible for enemy planes to come.
Reconnaissance aircraft hovered in the sky, guiding the artillery to conduct test firings.
While Li Ming was flying a fighter jet to shoot at the Japs on the ground, he suddenly spotted a combat artillery brigade marching on the road.
For pilots like them, vision always comes first.
Although it just flew through the air, compared with ordinary weapons, the 37 mm caliber barrel of the combat anti-cannon was much too thick.
He immediately notified Wang Bo who was following him and asked him to take a closer look to see what was underneath.
No matter what it is, as long as the Japanese shoot at it first.
When strafing, Wang Bo also recognized it: it was a combat anti-aircraft gun.
To the national army, all artillery is a threat.
For the national army, all artillery is useful.
While Wang Bo strafed the Japs from the Eggplant River Ryota tank defense artillery brigade, he reported the discovery of the Japs tank defense artillery to Gao Hongmin on the reconnaissance plane.
Their planes can communicate with each other, but only Gao Hongmin's reconnaissance plane can communicate with the ground.
Li Guocai, the radio operator leader on the reconnaissance plane, informed the artillery regiment below of the news.
He also specifically pointed out: The current location of the Japanese tank defense artillery is at the Ye Family House, three kilometers northwest of the Special Operations Mixed Regiment.
Wei Mingyang understood the purpose of this news from the moment he received it: he accepted these cannons!
Three thousand meters northwest, the Ye family house!
After just one glance at the map, Wei Mingyang issued a new order: "The fourth battalion and the first battalion immediately attack and advance towards the Ye family house.
The second and third battalions took over the tasks of the fourth battalion and continued to attack forward."
Captain Ryoko Eggplant only thought about going to the front line to fight tanks, but he never expected that he would be shot by an airplane on the way.
This is something that these devils never dreamed would happen.
For them, the skies have always been dominated by the Japanese. When will it be the national army’s turn to show up?
Today is different from the past, all 24 planes in my home set off fireworks in the sky.
The planes of the national army were actually able to shoot at the artillery units that were marching on the ground.
However, such strafing was too deadly. The entire brigade of more than 300 Japanese soldiers and nearly a hundred mules and horses exploded like a hornet's nest when they were fired upon by machine guns.
The Japanese were running around, and all the mules and horses were abandoned.
It just escaped a short distance and then stopped. The plane was very friendly to the mules and horses, and even deliberately avoided shooting them.
However, these planes were too unfriendly to the Japs in the Eggplant River Ryota Brigade, and three fighter jets stared at them and strafed them.
It wasn't Li Ming, Wang Bo, and Fu Ye who found fault with the three of them, but they had already seen the team below split in the air.
A team was separated and came towards this team of Japanese.
Although the three pilots did not receive any news that a team was coming to receive these combat anti-cannons.
But looking at this trend, the meaning is very clear.
From this moment on, Li Ming and his three fighter jets had no other ideas.
They have only one action: guard these twelve cannons and let the national army come to receive them!
The captain of the three fighter pilots in the air, Ryota Eggplant, obviously didn’t know and didn’t know.
It only knows one thing now: the aerial strafing is too targeted.
It was coming against this artillery brigade, but it could only bear it and had no movement or method to resist at all.
Sergeant No. 13 Beihe had just rushed down the road, rushed into a ditch and was lying on his hands and knees.
Then he stared nervously at the three fighter jets that were firing cyclically in the sky, his small eyes revealing confusion:
With its limited brain capacity, it cannot figure out that these aircraft have been strafing for ten minutes, so what is the point of continuing to straf?
This tank defense artillery brigade is deadly and can run fast.
The only people who can survive in this place are a limited number of people like me, hiding in the ditch.
Even under such circumstances, those fighter jets were still patrolling this area and had no intention of leaving.
Hideki Ikezaka is the team leader of one of the cannons. His team has eleven Japanese soldiers and is responsible for the use of a combat defense cannon.
