Niangziguan, the Eighth Route Army's eastern front encirclement position, on one of the hills.
District Commander Lu, Chief of Staff, Political Commissar, and some combat staff of the Jizhong Military Region could not help but open their eyes wide when they saw that the Japanese position was almost reduced to a sea of ​​flames.
"Dear me, the power of this incendiary bomb..."
District Chief Lu's eyes widened and he was amazed.
The independent regiment called for air support and naturally said hello to the fraternal troops of the Central Hebei Military Region.
Otherwise, if a brother unit is accidentally injured when dropping the bomb, the loss will be huge. The power of this napalm bomb is not comparable to that of ordinary aerial bombs.
"This incendiary bomb is really powerful!"
Political Commissar Lin sighed with emotion: "If we had known this, we should have called for air support earlier and let all the planes carry incendiary bombs to burn all the Japanese to death!"
District Chief Lu nodded: "I'll find out next time."
This kind of weapon of mass destruction must of course be used for the finale.
Previously, District Chief Lu and others did not know that all aircraft could carry incendiary bombs.
Although Kong Jie knew it, Kong Jie thought that the battle could be resolved without dropping a large number of incendiary bombs.
The battle for the frontline soldiers was not going smoothly, so Kong Jie naturally had to use his trump card.
Beside the leaders, the Eighth Route Army soldiers looked at the more than 20 hills in a sea of ​​fire in front of them, and their eyes almost popped out.
This fire is so comfortable!
For using this extremely lethal and destructive weapon, the Japanese were burned to ashes, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers showed no mercy.
Compared with the burning, killing and looting by the Japanese in China, they used poison gas bombs during battles, beheaded captured Eighth Route Army soldiers, and massacred innocent Chinese people.
These are all light.
It would be best if the Japanese devils also have a taste of incendiary bombs to relieve their anger a little.
"Order the soldiers to prepare and wait until the fire is out before attacking."
District Chief Lu issued the order.
After a napalm bomb explodes, the fire will not go out immediately, but will continue to burn.
Fortunately, this area is all bare terrain and lacks vegetation. If it were a forest terrain, it would definitely cause a fire.
"yes."
Next to him, the chief of staff, who had the latest Zeiss telescope hanging on his chest, straightened up.
Among the airdrop supplies provided by Boss Chen, in addition to weapons, ammunition and cans, he also gave some artillery scopes and military telescopes, as well as a large number of cheap but high-quality gas masks, and a large number of medicines to treat wounded soldiers.
"How are the injured soldiers doing?"
"Do those medicines work?"
District Chief Lu turned to look at Political Commissar Lin.
"Commander, those medicines are very useful!"
Political Commissar Lin nodded heavily:
"The airdrop given by Commander Li included a lot of medical equipment and medicines, as well as a large amount of penicillin, which is more expensive than gold."
"All the soldiers who were injured in the battle received good treatment."
"That's good." District Chief Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to the special geographical location of the Jizhong Military Region, the Japs have always been given priority care.
In addition to the Japanese and puppet troops serving as security guards, the Japanese also specially mobilized a 110th Division to deal with the Jizhong Military Region.
In addition, a large number of bunkers and artillery towers were built to blockade the Jizhong Military Region, and several iron walls were encircled and raided every year.
This made life extremely difficult for the soldiers and civilians of the Jizhong Military Region.
The Jizhong area is the grain-producing area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. There is no shortage of food and it can also support the fraternal military regions, but it is extremely short of medicine.
After the Eighth Route Army soldiers were injured, although the Jizhong Military Region had its own field hospital, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Due to the lack of medical drugs and medical equipment, in most cases, soldiers who were hit by bullets in vital parts were not treated even if they were still breathing. Instead, their hands and feet were shot and cut off directly.
The Eighth Route Army of that era never thought of giving up the war of resistance no matter how difficult the conditions were.
Now, with the support of Li Yunlong, the fraternal troops of the Central Hebei Military Region have finally made a big counterattack, and their lives are getting better and better.
"Captain Li is still rich."
Political Commissar Lin sighed with emotion.
Afterwards, Political Commissar Lin and District Chief Lu looked at each other, and both saw a look of determination in each other's eyes.
The Jizhong Military Region must hold Li Yunlong's thigh tightly.
From now on, I will follow Captain Li, live a good life, drink hot food, and make a fortune.
The food and drink here are not personal enjoyment, but the meat in Li Yunlong's mouth is to kill the Japanese.
…
On a hill on the western front of the Niangziguan battlefield.
"Captain, the devil is on fire."
Kong Jie walked to the forward position. Upon seeing this, Guan Dashan, the commander of the first battalion, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and handed Kong Jie the Zeiss telescope in his hand.
Kong Jie held a Zeiss telescope and observed the situation on the battlefield.
Through the vision of the Zeiss telescope, Kong Jie saw that a few kilometers away had turned into a sea of ​​fire, which was very spectacular.
"Haha, it exploded beautifully!"
Kong Jie’s tone was exciting:
"Labour and management don't believe it. If these hundreds of incendiary bombs are fired, how much resistance can the Japanese resist?"
Guan Dashan smiled slightly:
"It is true that the Japanese have built many bomb-proof holes, but the incendiary bombs are as pervasive as water. The Japanese will be burned to death even if they hide in the bomb-proof holes."
Anti-artillery holes are also called cat-ear holes. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese and puppet troops used a large number of these anti-artillery fortifications.
The Independent Regiment and the brother troops in the Central Hebei Military Region used almost all mountain artillery and mortars. Except for the first two days, the subsequent shelling against the Japanese was not very effective.
Kong Jie nodded when he heard this. This was the effect he wanted.
In previous battles, the Japanese fired a large number of poison gas bombs at the Eighth Route Army, but with little effect.
"It is estimated that the battle will be over today."
Kong Jie issued combat orders in a stern tone:
"Send my order and prepare for the attack. As soon as the flames are extinguished, all troops will immediately press forward and kill all the Japanese. We will not accept Japanese surrender."
If the flame is not extinguished, even if a spark sticks to it, it will be life-threatening.
Kong Jie naturally knew the terrifying power of napalm bombs, so he deliberately waited for the fire to go out before ordering the troops to attack.
"yes."
The chief of staff on the side replied.
…
Within the encirclement.
Inside the Japanese military headquarters.
The old Japanese like Tanabe Moritake were quite lucky.
The cave where they were hiding was relatively hidden, and the Eighth Route Army's incendiary bombs did not reach it.
However, this mountaintop has also been hit by several incendiary bombs. There is a raging fire outside, and the temperature inside the originally cool cave is gradually rising.
"Why is it so hot?"
Suddenly feeling a little hot, Tanabe Moritake unbuttoned his clothes.
On the side, Kuangmu Chongming, Nishihara Kanji and others also felt some heat in the cave.
