1069 Air Force The first battle of the Eighth Route Army Air Force!!!
Neji Okamura was also furious when he heard the news. These damn Eighth Route Army are really rampant. The two armies are facing each other. How dare they play tricks on him like the Empire of Japan!
Okamura, who immediately analyzed the battle situation, then learned that the Ushijima Manchu Regiment had appeared outside Huangya Cave.
But for some unknown reason, the Ushidao Manchu Regiment has been holding back outside Huangya Cave.
Only the 8th Mixed Brigade entered Huangya Cave first and was fighting fiercely with the Eighth Route Army.
Okamura immediately asked the Communications Department to establish communication with Ushijima Mitsuru's division headquarters. Soon, the old Japanese soldier Ushijima Mitsuru also learned:
The General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and a group of senior officers seem to be inside Huangya Cave right now. I heard that they just held a field press conference yesterday.
As a result, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army fought bravely into the Huangya Cave. On the contrary, you, the arrogant and self-proclaimed elite Ushijima Kwantung Army Division, have been wandering outside, dilly-dallying.<
/p>
Is this true?
"General, what should we do?" The chief of staff on the side was also a little anxious. At the moment, it was not only the problem of rescuing the 8th Mixed Brigade, but also the pressure from the North China Front Army Headquarters.
At this moment, although the old devil Ushijima Mitsuru remained calm on the surface, he was actually a little confused in his heart.
At this point, he was almost certain that the inside of Huangyadong must be difficult to conquer. According to the intelligence obtained from the previous two attacks on the Huangyadong area, the Eighth Route Army must have built a fairly solid defense inside Huangyadong. It is even very possible that even the current mountain road was a loophole deliberately left for him by the Eighth Route Army in order to lure him into a trap.
But this is a conspiracy!
Even though Ushijima Mitsuru knew that this might be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army, his pride from the Kwantung Army and his confidence in his troops' mountain operations did not allow him to choose the most conservative evacuation.
……
At almost the same time, in another area, around Quyang, just a few dozen minutes ago, a battle that was not large in scale, but was destined to go down in history and even shock all the international parties, took place. p>
It was a mixed mopping up force of nearly 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops.
Among them is an elite field brigade of the Japanese Sixth Division, with a full staff of about 1,200 people.
This Japanese field brigade has been strengthened with special equipment. In terms of weapons, it has been specially strengthened with four Type 92 infantry cannons, plus Type 92 heavy machine guns, and several Type 97 mortars.
The entire Japanese and puppet army is an elite force, like an unstoppable sharp knife, which penetrates directly into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base area in Quyang area.
To say that the Japs commander of this Japanese brigade is indeed capable of inserting loopholes, the insertion route they chose happened to be a weak point in the Eighth Route Army's troop deployment.
According to this old devil's idea, his unexpected surprise attack will suddenly tear a hole in the Eighth Route Army's defense line, cooperate with the main force of the Sixth Division to quickly expand the breakthrough, and defeat the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
There were not many blocking troops encountered along the way.
The Eighth Route Army, which has only about 100 troops, seems to be just some local armed forces after investigation by the Japanese reconnaissance force.
Although the equipment level has improved, these former Eighth Route Army guerrilla troops and local troops even have some decent small-caliber mortars, but they are just some modified grenade launchers. The 50s and 60s small
Cannon.
But the strength of both sides is not at the same level after all.
Even if you don’t count the puppet troops.
The strength ratio between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army's blocking force was nearly 12 to 1.
The two sides clashed on a hilltop somewhere.
The Japanese Major on the opposite side originally did not pay attention to this small group of local Eighth Route Army troops. He concentrated his troops and firepower, thinking that it would only take one round of attack to completely defeat this blocking Eighth Route Army unit.<
/p>
The change happened suddenly at this time.
The battle between the two sides had not yet begun when the roar of fighter jet engines suddenly came from mid-air.
The Japanese Major who was directing the battle was a little puzzled. He didn't call for air reinforcements!
Could it be the passing Imperial Air Force?
Then, while the old devil was still in a state of doubt, the fighter planes that arrived quickly and looked clearly Japanese at first sight started bombing and strafing the Japanese and puppet troops.
Cannonballs fell from the air one after another.
The fighter jets equipped with aviation machine guns launched dive strafing directly after the bombing.
The pilot's skills in the cockpit are very good, and he even dares to lower the height of the fighter jet to almost fly against the side wall of the mountain.
Under such a close blow, the power of the aircraft machine gun was fully unleashed. Bullets rained down like raindrops. Under the huge power, any Japanese soldier who was hit was instantly a bloody mess.
The Japanese were completely stunned.
Firstly, their troops did not have much anti-aircraft equipment.
Secondly, they never dreamed that they thought it was the empire's aviation reinforcements, and they immediately felt a sense of security and superiority in their hearts. How could they have expected that the attack was actually directed at them!
The Japanese and puppet troops, who were preparing to concentrate their forces to defeat the Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side, were now in a relatively concentrated valley.
The shells fell down one after another, and in the explosion, all that was seen was stumps and broken arms. It was simply a scene of purgatory on earth.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers under the bombing area were wailing, desperate and crazy.
To no avail, under such a powerful air force firepower attack, all the Japanese and puppet soldiers were as fragile as a piece of tissue paper that could be broken by a poke, with no power to resist at all.
The captain of the county brigade who was leading the battle a few hundred meters away looked at this astonishing scene and kept swallowing his saliva, and said to his comrades around him:
"When the main force gave us a mission, about 100 people from our county brigade were asked to stop a full Japanese field brigade. At that time, I was wondering, how to fight this battle?
There's no way to fight!
Then Chief of Staff Xu of the first team sent us a secret message, saying that follow-up special reinforcements were coming, and we just had to let go and fight.
I was still guessing what kind of reinforcements they were. Could they be reinforcements for the main force?
Good guy, now we completely understand that our air force reinforcements have arrived!"
Then a young soldier asked: "Captain, does our Eighth Route Army also have an air force?"
The captain of the county brigade said happily: "Haha, that's for sure. I'm not bragging to you. When I went to the main force last time, Chief of Staff Xu and the others took me to take a look. Good guy, the fighter jet parked at the airport is a fighter jet.
One after another, from now on our main force of the Eighth Route Army will also have an aviation force!"
"I heard that this batch of fighter jets was captured by Captain Kong from the Japanese Wuchagou Airport!"
"My dear, Captain Kong is really capable. He can even seize the Japanese planes!"
"That's right, Captain Confucius is a flag and a javelin in the hearts of our soldiers. In the eyes of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, Captain Kong is the living king of hell. The mere mention of it can make him wet his pants." Accompanied by the continuous sound of explosions in the area where the Japanese and puppet troops were not far away, the captain of the county brigade almost shouted at the top of his voice.
Xiao Song, a war reporter on the side, was also excited and kept taking pictures with his camera.
He is a specially sent team this time. As the first battle of the Eighth Route Army aviation unit, the highlights are not to be missed.
Taking advantage of the Japanese and puppet army positions being shrouded in the bombing range, the captain of the county brigade took the opportunity to divide the troops into three groups, go around the three directions of the Japanese and puppet army positions, east, west and south, and then wait for the final order.
After the noise of the bombing gradually subsided, the county captain immediately shouted:
"Comrades, our Eighth Route Army's air force reinforcements are over. Now it's our turn to kill the enemy. While the little devils are being blown away by our fighter jets, rush up and wipe them all out for me, beating out the enemy from our county brigade.
Come on!”
After the order was issued, the captain of the county brigade closely monitored the situation on the battlefield. When the fighter jets of the aviation unit flew away and the smoke from the bombs that enveloped the Japanese and puppet positions had not cleared away, he immediately roared and issued the order to attack.
Command.
"Corpser, blow the charge horn!"
"Comrades, all charge, kill me——"
Dudududududududu——
The Liao Liang Charge, unique to the Eighth Route Army, cut through the sky, and comrades in the county brigades in the east, west, and south directions immediately received the news.
Immediately launch a charge from three directions.
The soldiers held machine guns and rifles and ran like crazy. The artillery comrades who followed quickly approached and deployed artillery positions nearby.
In coordination with infantry and artillery, a new round of small-caliber artillery bombardment was launched against the Japanese and puppet army positions to cover the infantry charge.
But at this time, the limited Japanese and puppet army positions were already devastated.
I have always watched the imperial bombers bombing the Eighth Route Army troops and the National Army troops.
This was the first time that the Japanese and puppet troops were bombed by enemy aviation forces.
Since this unit did not take any precautions at all, the team did not have any decent anti-aircraft weapons, and its strength was relatively concentrated.
The temporary establishment transferred from the secret aviation base of the Eighth Route Army's first aviation unit was the Eighth Route Army's first aviation unit for this wave of bombing, and the results achieved were quite astonishing.
It even exceeded the expectations of the pilots and soldiers who carried out the bombing mission.
Just this round of bombing by bombers, plus the aircraft machine guns carried by subsequent fighter jets, were launched under the low-altitude strafing amidst the smoke cover after the bombing.
The Japanese and puppet troops lost nearly 70% of their troops.
This fully-organized Japanese field brigade from the Sixth Division, with all the heavy machine gun positions and artillery positions deployed, were blown to pieces by enemy artillery shells before they had time to take action.
As a result, the Japanese and puppet troops, who were stunned by the bombing, had not had time to recover, and bright charges were heard from the east, west, and south directions.
To the Japanese army, these assault ships were like life-threatening horns.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely frightened by the enemy's aviation force.
When the charge signal suddenly sounded, indicating that the Eighth Route Army would launch an all-out attack, the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to survive subconsciously thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming.
In fact, after being bombed by the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit, the Japanese and puppet troops at this time had lost nearly 70%, which was about 1,400 people, but they still had a strength of 500 to 600 people.
The county brigade is only a force of about 100 people, and it is not a regular army.
If the remaining Japanese and puppet troops can react quickly and launch a counterattack, they may not be able to eliminate the county brigade.
But there are no ifs on the battlefield.
When the two armies confront each other, once their energy is lost, the result is self-evident.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were not as rampant as when they came before.
Even the Japanese Army Major Captain was killed on the spot during the enemy's bombing.
Looking at the Eighth Route Army troops that appeared on the other side of the smoke that had not yet cleared, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely frightened. Seeing that there were enemy troops from the east, west and south, they hurriedly fled north towards the last remaining gap.<
/p>
This escape was completely opposite to the well-trained and orderly evacuation of the Japanese army in the past.
This team was almost stripped of its armor and was in such a sorry state that there was no order at all during the evacuation, not even a rear guard.
There was no time to destroy the large number of heavy weapons and baggage, so they fled in a hurry.
This made the captain of the county brigade in charge dumbfounded.
The captain was originally determined to fight to the death, and took advantage of the little Japanese being bombed to fight to the death with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Who would have thought that as soon as the team rushed up, the Japanese and the puppet soldiers would run away like rats.
There was no effective resistance at all during the attack, so the soldiers, led by the captain of the county brigade, pursued them all the way and launched an almost one-sided massacre against the fleeing Japanese and puppet troops.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The backs of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were clearly exposed.
The killing was so unpleasant!
The two sides fought fiercely for only more than ten minutes, and the battle was completely over. Looking at the positions abandoned by the nearly 2,000 puppet troops, and the large amount of equipment and materials left behind that could not be taken away, the captain of the county brigade couldn't help but rub his eyes, feeling like
It's a dream.
What followed was an inexplicable excitement.
Damn it, this battle was so exciting.
Our county brigade, with more than 100 comrades, was able to defeat more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Among them was a full field brigade from the Japanese elite division!
This is simply a miracle on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
"Quick, seize the time to clean the battlefield and count the casualties."
"Communicator, you ride on a horse and rush to the nearest contact point to promptly report the fighting situation on our side to the main force headquarters!"
"Yes!"
The casualties of the county brigade were quickly counted, and the result made the county brigade captain a little confused:
"Captain, two of us were seriously injured, and seven or eight other comrades were slightly injured. No one was killed."
In other words, in this battle that completely defeated nearly 2,000 Japanese puppet troops and even killed more than 70% of the Japanese puppet troops, not one of the more than 100 soldiers of the county brigade was sacrificed throughout the process.
The county brigade captain was so excited that he immediately arranged for the soldiers to quickly transfer the two seriously injured patients to the nearest medical station.
These are some medical stations specially built by a team for local comrades, with various medical facilities and special medicines fully prepared.
At that time, Kong Jie said this about the construction of the medical station and its role in the troops:
"I have only one request, which is to make our medical system a guarantee for our soldiers to have no worries. In a word, as long as the soldiers who are not killed on the battlefield can be evacuated to our medical station in a timely manner, we must ensure that they
