Just when he was surprised, a Japanese soldier staggered around and rushed to him to report: "Report to the captain, enemy aircraft groups have been spotted in the east!"
"Nani?" Maeda Mitsuyoshi suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked hurriedly, "How many planes does the enemy have?"
The Japanese soldiers quickly replied: "No less than 40."
"Baga!" A look of horror suddenly appeared on Maeda Mitsuyoshi's face, "Give me the order, all soldiers should leave the ranks immediately."
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldier suddenly lowered his head and walked towards the telephone.
Before the train came to a complete stop, the Japanese opened the carriage doors and prepared to jump out.
However, it was already too late, the bomber group and fighter planes had already entered the bombing attack position.
Looking down from a high altitude, the Japanese were like swarms of ants running towards both sides of the train.
One after another, huge cylindrical aerial bombs were densely packed towards the Japanese army column and rolled down.
Maeda Mitsuyoshi was also running, and the whistling sound from the aerial bombs in his ears became louder and louder. He turned his head and looked towards the sky, only to see the aerial bombs getting closer and closer to the ground.
"Baga, lie down quickly!"
Maeda Mitsuyoshi shouted and fell to the ground.
Huge aerial bombs fell like dumplings towards where the Japanese were.
Boom boom boom...
As 30 bombers lined up in battle formation and passed over the heads of the Japanese army, aerial bombs also fell exactly where the Japanese soldiers were.
A round of aerial bombs fell, and as the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, huge waves of air sputtered in all directions, accompanied by orange-red mushroom clouds.
The whole earth seemed to be shaking, like an earthquake.
More than 300 tons of aerial bombs were thrown towards the Japanese. In the rapid and loud explosions, the entire ground was lifted up, leaving no grass growing anywhere.
Aerial bombs clear the ground.
The bombers dropped the bombs at high altitude, while the fighter jets dropped the bombs from a dive. With the roar of the huge fighter engine, the cylindrical incendiary bombs under the belly of the aircraft fell off.
Then, the black egg-like metal napalm bomb fell towards the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
Circles of huge flames and black mushroom clouds spread and sweep around...
In fact, after the first wave of aerial bombs dropped by bombers, the Japanese were almost wiped out.
When this wave of napalm bombs fell, many Japanese corpses were directly burned to ashes, making it like a hell on earth.
Bombers and fighter jets flew by, leaving only endless flames.
After dropping aerial bombs and napalm bombs, the bombers and fighter jets flew into the distance without looking back.
Less than half an hour.
Japanese soldiers who witnessed the carpet bombing in nearby bunkers and gun towers rushed to the bombing site.
I saw that the military column that had just passed by had disappeared, and the ground was full of large craters blown by aerial bombs, as well as soil burned black by the flames.
The Japanese found a large amount of shrapnel, broken limbs and blood-stained soil in the pit.
Immediately, the Japanese soldiers immediately called their superiors to report the situation, level by level.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
Okamura Neji and Nakazawa Mizuo were playing chess, while Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo were watching.
The 26th Division was in Datong and sent a large number of scouts to northwest Shanxi.
Once troops from the new regiment leave northwestern Shanxi and go to Pingsui Road in northern Shanxi to set up an ambush, they will be detected by the scouts of the 26th Division.
According to the reconnaissance, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army has been in northwestern Shanxi, and no troops have left the base area recently.
This means that the 1st Infantry Regiment can reach Datong safely.
While the two were fighting each other, the communications staff hurriedly walked in with the telegram in hand, glanced at Mitsuo Nakazawa, and then bowed his head to Neji Okamura and reported:
"Your Excellency, Commander, we just received an urgent call from the 26th Independent Division, the 1st Infantry Regiment..."
"What happened to the 1st Infantry Regiment?" Okamura Neiji asked casually.
Okamura Neiji looked relaxed and did not expect that the entire 1st Infantry Regiment had been shattered.
And it was jade in the true sense, all broken into pieces, and some were even burned to ashes.
Nakazawa Mizuo opposite, as well as Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo standing aside, didn't pay much attention.
With the combat effectiveness of the First Infantry Regiment, nothing would happen unless it was ambushed by the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and according to intelligence, the entire New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was in northwest Shanxi at this time.
The communications staff officer looked sad, was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said: "The First Infantry Regiment...the whole team is shattered!"
"Nani?" Okamura Neiji suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Is the entire First Infantry Regiment in pieces?"
On the opposite side, Mitsuo Nakazawa had a chess piece frozen in the air, his face full of disbelief. This was his most elite first regiment, and all of them were shattered as soon as they arrived in North China?
How can this be?
Except for the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which other Eighth Route Army unit has the ability to completely wipe out the First Infantry Regiment?
On the side, Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisu also looked in disbelief and shock.
Taking a deep breath, Okamura Neiji's eyes and tone were full of dissatisfaction and he asked: "Is the entire First Infantry Regiment in pieces?"
"Hi!" the communications staff officer said in a positive tone, "The communications department has confirmed with the 26th Division Regiment Headquarters that the 1st Infantry Regiment was attacked by enemy planes. The entire 1st Infantry Regiment, including Maeda Mitsuyoshi Dazuo, was completely destroyed.
