Chapter 476 I've Never Seen Such a Cooperative Devil!
Chapter 476 I have never seen such cooperative Japs!
More than 100 machine guns, 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and more than 30 M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns are ready.
At the same time that a new group of anti-aircraft firepower was being prepared.
The Japanese plane swooped down in a fighting attitude, targeting the new regiment's defensive position outside the west city wall.
When Li Yunlong attacked a city, he usually considered defeat before winning. While attacking the city, he would also order soldiers from the reserve team to build defensive positions outside the city.
This is one of the emergency plans to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall to break through or the Japanese reinforcements arriving.
Although Jingguan Ren judged that the command post of the New Regiment was in the direction outside the west city wall, he did not know the specific location.
The electronic reconnaissance vehicle that Jingguan Ren transferred from Taiyuan is still in Heyuan County.
However, radio signals appeared in the east, west, north and south of Heyuan County, so the new regiment headquarters could not be found using electronic reconnaissance.
Therefore, in order to cover Jingguan Ren's breakout, the Japanese planes aimed at the infantry positions of the new regiment.
In a blink of an eye, the Japanese fleet dispersed, and the fighter jets covered the bombers and swooped down in a fighting posture.
"Da da da…"
Nearly a thousand meters away from the ground, the Japanese pilot pressed the firing button of the machine gun. The machine guns and cannons on both wings of the aircraft spit out tongues of flame, and dense cannon shells and machine gun shells poured towards the position.
A moment later, machine gun shells and machine gun shells hit the ground, splashing soil, sand and gravel several meters high on the ground.
As the bullet marks in the soil and gravel spread rapidly, the Japanese pilot gently pulled the control stick and corrected the angle, making the bullet marks move towards the position.
However, the position constructed by the new regiment was not a straight line, but S-shaped and Z-shaped trenches. This was the experience summed up by the ancestors in the battle. Such trenches were more conducive to air defense and artillery bombardment.
If the dug trench was a straight line, the Japanese pilots would probably smile crookedly.
Because the Japanese pilots only need to dive and shoot along a straight line to shoot the soldiers in the trench into pieces and two pieces.
Under the micro-control of the Japanese pilots, the dirt, sand and gravel marks caused by machine gun shells and machine gun shells bounced off the ground quickly extended into the trenches.
but.
In addition to the anti-aircraft firepower points, the soldiers got into the Maoer hole in time. Even if machine gun shells and machine gun shells were fired into the trench, they caused very few casualties to the infantry of the new regiment.
Following Li Yunlong's order over the walkie-talkie, the anti-aircraft firepower points of the new regiment suddenly opened fire.
In an instant, the sky was filled with orange-red tracer bullets, and tracer bullet chains were like whips of death, whipping towards the Japanese aircraft in the sky.
Fearing the anti-aircraft firepower of the New Regiment, the Japanese fighters and bombers did not dare to drop bombs at low altitudes, so they dropped aerial bombs at an altitude of four to five hundred meters.
Cylindrical aerial bombs fell like dumplings.
The moment the Japanese pilot pulled the plane up after dropping the bomb, a chain of bombs composed of machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and M2 heavy machine guns wrapped around the Japanese plane.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft is at its worst maneuverability!
A Nakajima fighter and three Type 97 bombers were hit by bullet chains in this moment. Along with several loud explosions, orange-red flames bloomed in the sky, and shrapnel from the broken aircraft fell down one after another.
The main body of the plane fell diagonally to the ground with billowing smoke.
Seeing this, other Japanese planes quickly pulled the planes up into the clouds. Even so, two of the planes were damaged, black smoke emitted from their engines, and they were swaying high in the sky.
As the Japanese planes rose higher, the soldiers of the new group immediately stopped firing, quickly changed their ammunition, and waited for the next wave of attacks from the Japanese planes.
However, in the first wave of mid-altitude dive attacks by Colonel Osaka of the Japanese Flying Team, 4 aircraft were shot down and 2 were damaged, and most of the aerial bombs had been dropped. After two more waves of dives, wouldn't all these aircraft have to be accounted for today?
Here? The Japanese commander suddenly had no intention of fighting and ordered the two injured aircraft to be covered and flew towards Datong.
Planes that were not hit can fly back to Peiping, but planes that were hit and injured must make an emergency landing as soon as possible.
"Only attacks for one round and then flies away?"
"It's so fucking boring."
Seeing the Japanese plane leaving northward in the telescope field of view, Li Yunlong suddenly felt bored.
During the Battle of Taiyuan, he remembered that Japanese planes swooped down several times.
Now as long as the Japanese planes dive for one more round, they can guarantee the shooting down of 5 more Japanese planes.
After all, there are fewer Japanese aircraft, so on average, the anti-aircraft firepower against each Japanese aircraft will increase.
Zhao Gang said: "The Japanese are not stupid. They have almost dropped their aerial bombs. If they come down to swoop and shoot, they will deliver food to us."
Xing Zhiguo said: "In addition to the 1 reconnaissance plane shot down yesterday, we shot down 4 more planes today, which can be regarded as a small fortune."
Shooting down one aircraft and three 75mm mountain cannons and killing a Japanese pilot would result in one 105mm howitzer, five radios and 10 tons of food.
This can be considered a small fortune for Xinyi Tuan.
Wang Dehou suddenly shouted: "The Japanese tanks are coming!"
Li Yunlong hurriedly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the city wall. As he spoke, he saw the Japanese tank only 200 meters away from the defensive position, followed by a large number of Japanese soldiers.
Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "Give me the order to keep the anti-aircraft artillery level. Let's teach the Japanese a lesson today!"
As the regimental commander's order was issued, the soldiers at each anti-aircraft gun position responded quickly, leveling the anti-aircraft guns, large-caliber heavy machine guns, and machine guns, aiming them in the direction of the Japanese, and waiting for the order to fire.
at the same time.
Jingguan Ren and Ishikawa controlled the water and left the city under the protection of layers of guard squadrons. They happened to witness this short but fierce ground-to-air battle.
Jingguan Ren and Ishikawa Zhishui were both shocked.
They knew that the new regiment's anti-aircraft firepower was very powerful, but they did not expect it to be so powerful.
When the fighter jets and bombers dived just now, the entire sky was filled with bullets and cannon shells, densely packed like orange locusts.
Jingguan Ren suddenly regretted that he had broken through from the direction of the west city wall. Wasn't it a bit hasty?
But the current situation did not allow Jingguan Ren to think too much. The Eighth Route Army in the city had already reacted and were frantically attacking the city wall. Intense gunshots and explosions were heard behind them.
Jingguan Ren looked at Ishikawa Zhishui beside him and said in a deep voice: "The 2nd Squadron cannot hold back for long, we must rush out as soon as possible!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, look."
Ishikawa Harishui pointed to the smoke of gunpowder blocking the sky in front: "At least 100 aerial bombs dropped by the Imperial Army Air Force turned the Eighth Route New Regiment's position into a sea of flames. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to rush out!"
Jingguan Ren nodded and said: "Yo Xi, give me an order for all soldiers to attack the enemy's positions!"
As the order was issued, the Japanese soldiers, except for the division headquarters security troops, rushed towards the new regiment's position with strange cries as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers risking their lives, Iguchi Ren and Ishikawa Zhiwei knew very well.
Whether we can successfully break through depends on this trembling!
Soon, the Japanese tank had arrived within a hundred meters of the new regiment's forward position. The Japanese tank drove forward while firing, its 7.7mm machine gun barking wildly.
The Japanese tank soldiers knew that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with anti-tank guns, as well as machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and even large-caliber heavy machine guns that could penetrate tank defenses.
However, in order to clear a bloody path for the large troops, the Japanese tank soldiers did not hesitate at all and drove their tanks towards the new regiment's defensive position.
"Fire!"
Seeing that the Japanese tanks were 50 meters away from the forward position, the regiment headquarters finally gave the order to open fire.
At this moment, 37mm anti-aircraft guns, bazooka rocket launchers, 20mm anti-aircraft guns, Garand semi-automatic rifles, M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, M1917 heavy machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, submachine guns, light machine guns, mortars...
As long as there were firearms that could fire, all were pointed at the Japanese and the triggers were pulled.
Da da da…
Boom boom…
Boom boom boom…
The sound of guns and artillery as dense as exploding beans suddenly filled the entire battlefield, and bullets and machine shells rained down on the Japanese like raindrops.
The rocket dragged its tail flame and hit the Japanese tank directly!
Suddenly, circles of blazing white light burst out, and amidst the continuous explosions of landslides and ground cracks, 12 Japanese tanks burst into flames.
The current firepower of the main battalion of the new regiment would shock even the American and German troops.
Although the troops in the third division are not as rich as the main battalion, each row is equipped with 2 bazookas, which means they are equipped with a full 80 bazookas.
After just one meeting, all 12 Japanese tanks were wiped out!
The Japanese soldiers in the tank were completely shattered by the explosion of the tank!
However, the Japs behind the tanks did not flinch. They held rifles with bayonets in their hands, shouted "board load", and roared into the new circle of fire.
However, in the face of such intensive firepower, let alone the Japanese infantry, even the Japanese cavalry came to deliver food.
Many Japanese soldiers were directly hit by 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm machine guns.
With blood mist flying, the Japanese who were hit by machine guns and anti-aircraft shells were dismembered and turned into pieces of minced meat.
The power of the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun cannot be underestimated. Almost all the Japanese who were hit were cut into two pieces.
In addition, the intensive firepower from submachine guns, light machine guns and semi-automatic rifles also caused the charging Japanese to fall one by one.
"Boom boom boom!"
The long-range artillery groups of the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion began to fire rapidly at the Japanese outside the west city wall, dark red ballistics filling the sky.
The 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion had just cooperated with the Second Division to repulse the Japanese feint attack. Under the order of the regiment headquarters, they quickly turned their guns and fired long-range artillery towards the Japanese outside the West City.
Li Yunlong saw in the artillery mirror that the Japanese who were rushing forward fell one by one, and many of their bodies were directly beaten to pieces. The impact points of the artillery shells were the Japanese behind. As the shells rained down, the Japanese
Men's body was thrown up high, and the outside of the West City was suddenly enveloped in fire and smoke.
Seeing this situation, Li Yunlong grinned slightly: "The labor and management have attacked the county town so many times, but I have never seen such cooperative Japs. They rush to die on their own."
Hearing Captain Li's words, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo almost laughed out loud.
"This firepower, tsk tsk..." Xing Zhiguo sighed, "With good equipment, it's great to fight the Japanese."
