"All companies and battalions gather firepower and prepare for air defense!"
Looking at the five incoming Japanese aircraft in the field of view of the telescope, Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
Following his order, the soldiers of the new group suddenly dispersed. The machine gunner set up the light and heavy machine guns in his hands, and the machine gunner set up the machine cannon in front of him.
The soldiers holding semi-automatic rifles all lay on their backs in the snow, loaded the bullets, opened the safety, and pointed the muzzles in the direction of the Japanese aircraft.
The soldiers of the transport team pacified the mules and horses to lie down in the snow, and then covered the mules and horses with white tents to prevent them from being discovered by the Japanese pilots.
The current anti-aircraft firepower of the new regiment is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong, with more than 60 anti-aircraft cannons, more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, and 3,000 semi-automatic rifles.
Most of the soldiers in the main battalion had experienced air defense operations. Under the command and coordination of each squad leader, they all set up the firepower of the squad.
Don't panic at all.
"Don't even fire first!"
"Listen to my orders!"
Commander Li roared at the top of his lungs to ensure that every firepower point could be heard.
Each machine gun was camouflaged and wrapped in white cloth, and each machine gunner wore a camouflage cloak.
Unless a Japanese plane flies by at low altitude, even if a Japanese pilot has excellent eyesight, it will be difficult to spot an anti-aircraft gun in the snow.
Commander Li Da prepared to hold back a big move for the Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese fighter jets and attack aircraft have to dive to attack. Once the Japanese aircraft enters the dive position, it is not so easy to change direction.
The New Regiment has fought against Japanese planes many times, and these are all experiences gained from the battle.
Although the Japanese planes have fought against the New Regiment many times, the Japanese do not necessarily know that the New Regiment of the 386 Brigade has powerful air defense capabilities below them.
This is very nice.
Flying towards the new group happened to be the flight formation led by Kato Ryuichi.
As soon as the plane flew over Mianshan, Kato Takashi saw the Eighth Route Army troops in his telescope a few kilometers away.
On a large flat ground, eight groups of people gathered together, then suddenly dispersed when they heard the sound of the plane.
Some Eighth Route Army soldiers were hurriedly covering the livestock with white camouflage nets.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Kato Ryuichi's mouth. Is it a little too late to think of pretending now?
It seems that if you don't eat the duck that reaches your mouth, you will be a bit sorry for Tubalu.
He called five other planes on the radio for reinforcements, and then Kato Ryuichi immediately ordered three fighter jets to cover the two attack planes and immediately dive to attack.
The pilots of the five Japanese planes pulled the control sticks one after another, and the noses of the planes sank one after another, roaring and diving down.
The target is the mountain artillery battalion's mule and horse transport team.
The roar of huge aircraft engines rang in the ears of the new group of commanders and fighters.
"Fire!" Seeing that the Japanese plane had entered a dive, Li Yunlong suddenly shouted.
The timing of firing on the ground must also be grasped just right, and the Japanese plane must not be the first to drop aerial bombs.
Due to inertia, the Japanese aircraft will drop aerial bombs at a distance. When the aircraft flies overhead, the aerial bombs will fall on the ground.
Following Commander Li's order, several machine guns around him opened fire first.
Immediately afterwards, various gunshots on the ground joined together, and the intensity of the gunfire was comparable to the sound of hundreds of firecrackers exploding at the same time.
Da da da…
Gnaw gnaw gnaw…
Everything…
A firepower network composed of more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, more than 60 machine guns, and more than 3,000 semi-automatic rifles instantly spread on the dive route of the Japanese aircraft.
Densely packed bullets of different calibers and machine shells poured out, and dark red tracer bullets instantly filled the entire sky.
At the same time, the Japanese plane also opened fire at almost the same time, with blue light coming from under its wings and roaring like crazy.
The bullets fired by the Japanese planes ricocheted ten bullet marks in the snow, and these bullet marks spread rapidly on the ground at the speed of the Japanese planes.
Of course, the main force in fighting Japanese aircraft must be machine guns.
The chain of shells fired from each of the more than 60 machine guns was like a whip of God, suddenly whipping towards the Japanese planes in the sky.
When the Japanese pilot discovered that his eyes were full of red tracer bullets, it was already too late.
The two attack planes at the front were hit first, the wing of one plane was broken, and the pilot of the other plane was beaten into a pile of minced meat.
The two planes fell diagonally uncontrollably and landed in the snow not far away. With a loud noise that shook the earth, two orange-red sparks bloomed.
In addition, a fighter jet was directly hit by a machine gun shell and exploded and disintegrated in the air.
Two other fighter jets, including Kato Ryuichi, quickly rolled to avoid the oncoming hail of bullets.
Then he dropped the aerial bomb hanging under the wing and pulled the control stick hard to pull the plane up into the clouds. Even so, black smoke came out of the engine of a fighter jet and it flew away staggeringly under the cover of Kato Ryuichi.
Kato Ryuichi's face was extremely gloomy, he knew that he was meeting his old rival Shinichi again this time.
If he had known earlier that the Eighth Route Army New Regiment was on the ground, he would never have ordered the aircraft to swoop down. The current anti-aircraft firepower of the New Regiment seemed to be more powerful than that at Shi Nao Mountain in Yangquan.
Called five other planes on the radio to return.
Although Japanese planes can also drop bombs at high altitudes, their hit rate is too low.
Moreover, the effective range of the new regiment's anti-aircraft guns is more than 4,000 meters, and high-altitude bombing is not safe.
If he loses a few more planes, he, the captain of the flying team, should be dismissed again.
Although he hated the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong extremely, Kato Ryuichi was still very sober.
Six Japanese fighter planes covered the fighter jet with a smoking engine and flew towards Taiyuan.
Before flying over Yangquan, all the dials and instruments of the injured aircraft failed.
Kato Ryuichi signaled the Japanese pilot to parachute, but the Japanese pilot said that the control stick had not failed yet and wanted to try to make an emergency landing.
As a result, the plane and the pilot crashed during the emergency landing.
The Japanese pilots in the remaining six planes looked at the fighter jets that were blown into a ball of flames in tears with tears, and then flew towards Taiyuan without looking back.
At the mountain artillery camp position of the New Regiment.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not know that the injured Japanese plane had crashed.
At this moment, soldiers and health workers are rescuing the wounded.
Four 60-kilogram aerial bombs dropped by two fighter jets caused more than 60 casualties in the new regiment.
Fortunately, the three downed planes did not fall into the crowd, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater.
Although more than 60 people were killed and injured by the Japanese planes, the casualties were within the acceptable range of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. After all, they shot down 3 Japanese planes.
He also killed a major general and two thousand Japanese soldiers in Guan Nei, my wife.
Earn blood.
Carrying the wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang led a new regiment toward the base.
…
Taiyuan.
Japanese Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama are waiting for the news.
The aviation force has been dispatched.
Reinforcements from one regiment each in the direction of Yangquan and Jingxing counties have also set off.
This is good news.
But the bad news is that the headquarters has lost contact with Niangziguan.
This suddenly made Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama feel anxious.
Logically speaking, even if Niangziguan is bombarded, contact will definitely not be lost.
Because Niangziguan now has the communications team of the original garrison, the Kamikaze armored train has radios and radios, and the 2nd Guards Division headquarters also has a communications squadron.
These three communication points have all lost contact with the First Army Headquarters, which is obviously an extremely dangerous signal.
Both old devils smelled something unusual.
Kusuyama Hideyoshi frowned and said in a confused tone: "Has Niangzi Pass been breached by the Eighth Route Army?"
Shinozuka Yoshio said: "No, there are more than 5,000 imperial troops in Niangzi Pass now. Even if they were attacked by a large-scale artillery attack by the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Route Infantry launched an attack, the battle would not end so quickly. The only possibility is that all three communication units
He was hit by artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army."
Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka's face became darker and darker.
All three communication units were hit by artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army. How many artillery shells did the Eighth Route Army have to use?
This is already a barrage of shells... Can Major General Hirata and Lieutenant General Muto survive the eight-way bombardment?
The two old Japanese were in great pain at this time, as if they were on pins and needles, and every second seemed like a year.
After waiting for more than half an hour, communications staff officer Toshimatsu Kasai hurried in to report: "Report to your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, Kato Daizuo has sent back the news!"
Shinozuka Yoshio's expression perked up and he asked quickly: "How is the situation in the confinement of the lady?"
Kasai Toshimatsu paused and said: "Kato Daizuo said that Niangzi Pass was hit by a large-scale artillery attack by the Eighth Route Army, and the losses were extremely heavy. The Flying Team found the Eighth Route Army 5 kilometers south of Niangzi Pass, and after a fierce battle, hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops were eliminated. The Flying Team
Lost 2 fighter jets and 2 attack aircraft!”
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka felt a pain in his body, "Loss of 4 planes?"
"Hi!" Kasai Toshimatsu paused and said, "According to Kato Shaozuo, the Eighth Route Army attacking Niangziguan this time has extremely powerful anti-aircraft firepower, and is most likely a new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."
"New regiment of the 386th Brigade?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi's tone was shocked, "Li Yunlong?"
"Hi!" Kasai Toshimatsu said, "Li Yunlong, except for Li Yunlong's department, the other Eighth Route Army does not have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower!"
"Baga!" Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't hold himself any longer and said angrily, "It's Li Yunlong again!?"
About half an hour later, the first batch of Japanese reinforcements from Yangquan arrived at Niangziguan.
News about Niangziguan then spread to the headquarters.
"Major General Tamasaki Hirata, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Lieutenant General Tamasaki Muto Akira, commander of the 2nd Guards Division, Yoshiro Oizaku, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Guards Division, Yoshiro Ozasa Tamaki, commander of the 2nd Guards Division, Fujimura, chief of staff of the 2nd Guards Division
Nobuyoshi Ozuo's jade was shattered, the Kamikaze armored train was destroyed, three trains were destroyed, and the Imperial Army suffered no fewer than 3,000 casualties during the bombardment."
Yoshio Shinozuka almost fainted when he heard the news.
Then he angrily drew out his command saber and started practicing sword skills in the office.
