The lookout post that had just ambushed the Japanese reconnaissance team sent a man back to report to Dragon Boat Festival.
The warrior was riding a fast horse. He ran to Dragon Boat Festival and dismounted to report.
Duanwu was walking with the spy camp at this time, and Zhou Weiguo was arranged by him to escort the artillery and the wounded one step ahead.
They also have five trucks, three of which are pulling soldiers from the special service battalion. The purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to alternate rests, with a group of people getting on the truck every five kilometers, while the remaining people all walk.
There were also two vehicles, pulling four mortars and forty rounds of artillery shells from the Japs, as well as ammunition from the special agent battalion.
In other words, Dragon Boat Festival has long expected that the road back may not be so smooth, so I made preparations early.
At this time, the lookout sent out by him came back with a report, which confirmed Duanwu's suspicion. The Japs had already noticed it and sent out pursuers.
The soldier who came back reported that there were many enemies, but he was not very clear about how many there were. Because the Japs' reconnaissance team was already close at that time, they attacked the reconnaissance team and then withdrew. Moreover, the Japs' troops could not be seen at a glance.
The soldiers said there was at least one brigade, but less.
Duanwu nodded and asked them to continue monitoring. At this time, Lao Shou came over and asked: "Tuanzuo, how are we going to fight next?"
Duanwu said: "The battle below is still an ambush, but I am not worried about the Japanese infantry, I am afraid of the Japanese planes. We have no air superiority in the battle, so we are very passive. We can only fight quickly and retreat quickly, and I am more worried about Zhou Weiguo
, the target of his convoy is too big. Unless we can attract the Japanese plane.
But if we do this, we will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. The little devils are getting smarter and smarter as we fight. Several times we have shot down their planes with machine guns, and they will definitely study countermeasures.
The simplest way is to drop bombs at ultra-high altitudes. Although the probability of hitting them will be greatly reduced, they are still safe.
So this time, we have to prepare for the worst. And it is not easy to have many people to ambush the Japanese.
Lao Snoring, leave one company for me, and take the rest with you. Light up smoke in the woods along the way. The bigger the smoke, the better. But remember, don’t burn the whole forest. It’s us who will lose.
The wealth of the Chinese people.”
"Commander, I will lead my men in an ambush. Can you go and light the smoke?"
Lao Snoring asked for instructions, because everyone knew that the most dangerous thing was to stay and ambush.
Duanwu knew what Lao Shou meant, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, the little devil who can kill me hasn't been born yet! Come on, it depends on whether your brothers can go back alive.
What's going on? I want the whole land to be filled with smoke."
"Yes, Tuan Zuo, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."
Lao Shou understood at this time that only the smoke everywhere could interfere with the enemy's sight and prevent them from accurately dropping bombs at high altitudes.
So without further ado, Lao Shou left the most capable company to Duanwu, and the rest marched away in a hurry.
At this time, Ma Ping'an said: "There is smoke all over the place, good! We have found another way to deal with the Japs' planes. Brother Dragon Boat Festival, please lend me your radio station."
Duanwu said: "What are you borrowing? We just seized several Japanese radio stations, and they are all kept in the car for you. They are all yours!"
Ma Ping'an laughed loudly and said: "If you don't say it, the Dragon Boat Festival brothers are enough friends. Don't worry, I will make sure that he, the little devil, can see the power of our Chinese people."
After that, Ma Ping'an caught up with the truck and climbed up, then found a high-power radio and sent reports to various places, from Lai'an County to Mingguang, and even further to Dingyuan County, Sanjia Town, Tianchang Town and other vast areas.
All over the land, smoke was lit.
Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and the entire land of China was instantly filled with endless smoke and dust.
When the Japs' bomber formation flew over Chuzhou, they realized something was wrong. In front of them, the sky was gray, as if there was a thin layer of dark clouds floating towards them.
The captain of the Japanese Flying Group was very surprised, because he had just confirmed the weather conditions before leading the team to take off, and this time, in order to completely eradicate the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Hang dispatched a total of three groups and nearly thirty aircraft.
But what the hell is this weather like? With such visibility, unless you swoop in for low-altitude bombing, you can't tell the difference between your own people and the enemy.
The captain of the Japanese flight team quickly contacted the base station and asked what was going on.
But the answer from the base station was that the weather conditions were good and bombing could be carried out.
The captain of the Japanese flight team was about to curse. He saw clouds and fog everywhere, but the idiots at the base station said the weather was fine.
They had no choice but to follow the instructions from the base station and continue to the battlefield to bomb the target.
But with such visibility, they were 90% sure that they would blow up their own men first. Because they also received an intelligence report that the enemy was wearing the clothes of the imperial army.
Now, the ground is full of imperial troops, and the flight captain doesn’t know what he is going to blow up!
However, he has already reported this matter to his superiors. The visibility near the war zone is very low for unknown reasons. If he wants to confirm the target, he must carry out ultra-low-altitude dive bombing.
However, the commander of Luhang said that low-altitude bombing was too dangerous, and the enemies of the Independent Regiment were very good at flying planes. If they flew at ultra-low altitudes, the imperial planes would never return. Therefore, they must not fly at ultra-low altitudes.
The captain of the Japanese Air Force could only use the word "speechless" to describe his mood at this time.
Because this is called bombing? Bomb your grandma. You can only wait until you reach the destination and ask the ground troops to mark the target.
As for how to mark it, we will talk about it later.
At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival ambush operation has begun. With the same method, Dragon Boat Festival will make the Japanese trip twice.
On the road where Tian Tianfu's Japanese army marched, there was a hill beside it. The hill was not very high, only about ten meters, and it was fifty or sixty meters away from the mountain road.
The old Japanese looked at it with a telescope for a while and felt that the mountain was too far away from the mountain road and the mountain was small, so it was not suitable for an ambush.
Moreover, such a small mountain can hide at most a hundred people, which does not pose any threat to the strength of his two brigades.
Therefore, Tim Tianfu did not ask the convoy to slow down, nor did he conduct any investigation, but directly ordered the convoy to drive over.
Ma Ping'an, who was behind the mountain, saw that the Japanese didn't pay any attention to the hill where they were hiding, and said with a smile: "Brother Duanwu, your calculations are really accurate. When this little Japanese saw this mountain, he didn't even pay attention to it. He was so arrogant.
Ready to drive over? How did you calculate that? These little devils just encountered an ambush, so they don't have a long memory?"
Duanwu glanced at Ma Pingan, and then said with a mysterious smile: "You only saw the surface of the matter, but you didn't see how much preparation I had done for this ambush!"
