Huge explosions occurred one after another, raging in Baiqi Town.
A 250-kilogram aerial bomb is enough to blow up several houses in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
The little devil finally became serious.
In previous airdrops, their arrogance had caused them to lose seven or eight fighters, and five bombers were directly injured and left the battlefield.
Although the cost of fighter jets and bombers at that time was not as high as it is now, it was still a considerable loss for the resource-poor Japs.
In addition to the physical pain, the Japanese captain launched a series of revenge. They made huge pirouettes in the air and then rushed back to Baijia Town, dropping heavy bombs one after another into Baijia Town.
It's just that the devil's operation is as fierce as a tiger's, but the damage is not great.
Under the attack of Chinese anti-aircraft fire, the Japanese aircraft were very cautious and hurriedly dropped bombs at an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and then quickly raised the plane to avoid the anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese defenders.
This resulted in their extremely low hit rate, and they just dropped bombs randomly in Baijia Town.
The Captain of the Japanese Air Force took one look at the result of his bombing and was very depressed. This was probably the worst bombing result he had ever seen.
The enemy's firepower points were not destroyed at all, and they were not even touched.
None of the most feared 88mm anti-tank guns, 37mm anti-tank guns, and 20mm machine guns were destroyed.
And especially the 37mm combat anti-cannon.
This thing does more damage than a 20mm machine gun, and fires faster than an 88mm anti-tank gun. A hit from one shell will result in a machine crash and death.
Of course, in terms of power, the most terrifying thing is the 88mm combat anti-aircraft gun, which can hit Japanese planes one by one.
The little Japs were very afraid. Not only did they not dare to fly at ultra-low altitudes, they did not even dare to enter at low altitudes. They could only hover in mid-air to attract the enemy's artillery fire and buy time for the Japs' infantry.
Nowadays, they can no longer control the Chinese Army infantry at will, but can only contain them.
The captain of the Japanese Army Flight Brigade contacted the Botian detachment via radio and asked them to rush to support quickly. The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was too strong, and they were unable to accurately drop bombs, and even if they dropped bombs, they would risk great danger.
After receiving the report, Captain Bo Tian could only sneer. Because just last night, when he requested air support, the commander of the division, Ban Heng, was mocking him for having lived in Taiwan for so long that he would not even be able to fight.
And the so-called Taiwan Brigade is just a group of drunkards.
As a subordinate, Captain Botian didn't say much at the time. Because facts speak louder than words. Only after fighting against the Chinese will you know how terrifying the Chinese army is.
He even doubted whether the Dragon Boat Festival would be in Baijia Town. Otherwise, why would a small Baijia Town be so capable of fighting?
If it had been an ordinary Chinese army, with so many imperial troops approaching the city, the defenders in the city would have been frightened to death.
Of course, Bo Tian's suspicions are not unreasonable. Although Dragon Boat Festival was not in Baijia Town, his independent regiment was in Baijia Town.
This is a force composed entirely of veterans and armed to the teeth. If they encounter any small Japanese force alone, the Japanese are no match for them.
In the face of the independent regiment, the Japanese can only stand together and gain an absolute advantage in strength to have a chance of winning.
So Botian also learned a lot after the battle with Duanwu. At least in the battle with Baijiazhen, he did not attack blindly, but fought steadily.
As a result, Zhou Weiguo was caught off guard by the Japs. At a time of life and death, he could only place his hope in the Independent Regiment.
At the same time, the independent regiment was responsible for the anti-aircraft firepower in the north of the city near the North City Gate.
Sun Shiyu personally operated a 37mm combat anti-aircraft gun on a flat-roofed building in the city.
Sun Shiyu was famous for his accurate shooting. In just ten minutes of fighting, he destroyed two Japanese bombers, and a fighter jet was injured by him and was withdrawn from the battle.
Sun Shiyu was getting ready to fight, but at this moment, Zhu Shengzhong came running with a messenger from the 522nd Regiment.
Sun Shiyu handed the Sanqi anti-tank artillery to the artillery and said to Zhu Shengzhong: "Old Zhu, why are you here?"
Zhu Shengzhong said loudly: "Damn it, that man named Zhou has sent an order again, asking us to attack the Japs' artillery."
The messenger quickly added: "Two officers, that's what you mean, but the order from our regiment is: no matter what method you use to delay the Japanese artillery and infantry attack, give people people, guns to guns, and
Gun to gun."
"Damn it, that's not the same thing? Why don't you let me go out of the city to die?"
Zhu Shengzhong was cursing. Of course, he was not afraid of death, but he always felt that Zhou Weiguo was using his brothers as cannon fodder. In Xiaoyangzhuang, they were on the front line, fighting enemies on three sides, causing huge casualties to the independent regiment.
At this time, the Japanese army had a brigade outside the city, but he ordered them to go out of the city to meet the enemy. What if this wasn't treating them as cannon fodder?
Sun Shiyu also frowned, but he thought for a moment and said: "Go and tell your regiment that the independent regiment will execute the order. But we must take away two 37-type anti-aircraft guns, two 80mm and four 60mm mortars."
Artillery. Moreover, the Independent Regiment does not obey Commander Zhou's instructions now, so Baijia Town can only rely on your 522nd Regiment to temporarily hold on."
"yes!"
The ordering soldier took the order and ran back to resume the order.
At this time, Zhu Shengzhong complained: "Old Sun, you shouldn't agree to him. It's not easy for our regiment to recruit so many veterans? We have just been supplemented with soldiers, don't we have to join in again?"
Sun Shiyu patted Zhu Zhengzhong on the shoulder and said: "Old Zhu, in the current situation, if Zhou Weiguo doesn't rely on us, who can we rely on? There are Japanese planes bombing in the sky, and there are Japanese troops outside the city. At this time, we can only rely on us to be independent.
We are here to turn the tide."
Zhu Shengzhong nodded and said: "I understand everything you said, but I just don't want to be used as cannon fodder."
Sun Shiyu smiled and said: "Have you forgotten what Tuan Zuo told us? You need to use your brain to fight. Although my brain is not as useful as Tuan Zuo, I also thought of a clever plan."
"A clever idea?"
Zhu Shengzhong was surprised.
Sun Shiyu whispered in Zhu Shengzhong's ear and said: "We can do this, this, and then this, this. I dare not say that we will defeat the Japanese, but it will definitely be no problem to hold them back for a while."
Zhu Shengzhong laughed and said: "Hahaha, do you, Sun, have any idea? Okay, as long as you don't risk your brothers' lives, I will listen to you in everything."
Sun Shiyu said: "Okay, then let's split up."
After that, the two of them separated and went to prepare separately.
At the same time, the Little Japanese Botian detachment was still rushing in, and the Japanese artillery had arrived less than two kilometers away from Baijia Town!...
