The fierce flames hit, burning all the hair on Dragon Boat Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival jumped and ran away because of the heat.
Zhou Weiguo was cursing behind him, and his hat was on fire.
Zhou Weiguo threw away his hat, and then he rolled with Duanwu on the spot, extinguishing the flames on his body, and then fled to the east city gate.
At this time, the town of Lai'an County had long been reduced to a sea of flames, and most of the buildings in the city had been destroyed by the Japanese heavy bombs.
Zhou Weiguo exclaimed: "The little devil really spent a lot of money this time."
Dragon Boat Festival was not as surprised as Zhou Weiguo, because it was obvious that the little devil already hated him to the core, and wherever he appeared, he would probably stay like this in the future.
Fortunately, those who should have been evacuated had already been evacuated before the enemy bombers appeared, and the rest depended on their own luck.
Yes, in this case, we can only rely on luck. The Japanese bombed indiscriminately and burned the entire city to the ground.
Although there are very few positions that have not been affected, the Japanese fighter jets are strafing these areas with their onboard machine guns.
Of course, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, the 522nd Regiment, and the Hutou Mountain Independent Regiment did not tolerate the Japs. After the Japs' bombing ended, they emerged from the bunkers and ruins.
Although various units were inevitably damaged under the Japs' carpet bombing, in general, the losses were not very large. In addition to the scrapping of two tanks, the number of casualties was only about 70.
But only the ordinary people in Lai'an County suffered greater casualties. They ran around under the bombing of the Japanese army, and more than a hundred people were killed or injured.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The underground party responsible for guiding them had taken them into hiding. But when the Japanese bombs fell, the people panicked and fled in all directions.
When the Japs saw people, in addition to the bombers bombing, the Japs' fighter jets also strafed the civilians on the ground. That's why the casualties among the civilians in the city were so high.
The angry soldiers climbed up the city wall again, set up light and heavy machine guns, and fired at the Japanese planes.
The Japanese plane roared past, and a strong wind blew over the heads of the soldiers, causing the soldiers to stagger.
The soldiers turned around and continued to shoot at the Japanese planes. Although the probability of this was extremely low, the soldiers could not let the Japanese planes run wild on Chinese soil.
The Japanese pilots were still showing off their flying skills and were about to turn around and shoot at the soldiers on the city wall.
But in the next second, the tail of his plane was hit by bullets one after another. The wings continued to tremble after being penetrated by bullets. The entire plane also trembled, and then fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"no no!"
Boom!
After a loud noise, the Japanese fighter jet crashed into the woods more than 800 meters away from Lai'an County and burned violently.
The other Japanese pilots were very surprised when they saw this, and the enemy shot down their fighter planes with only machine guns.
Of course, the Japanese would never have imagined that the Dragon Boat Festival troops would start using machine guns to shoot down planes very early on, and they had their own effective method.
The independent regiment's bullets will not chase the enemy's plane, but will form a barrage in the air and wait for the enemy's plane to hit them.
Therefore, as long as it is within the effective range of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, the enemy's aircraft will most likely hit the barrage and be damaged or even destroyed.
The captain of the Little Japanese Flying Group and his men tried several times and left cursing after losing four fighter planes.
The captain of the Japanese Air Force believed that the Chinese were too cunning and hid when they were bombing, and then emerged to attack them when they had no bombs.
But the most important thing is that fighter jets need to dive if they want to shoot, and within this distance, they will enter the range of heavy machine guns and light machine guns.
And if you shoot at ultra-high distances, the accuracy is too poor.
So the Japanese could only take their own flying brigade back.
The same is naturally true for other Japanese bombers. They are not fighter jets. Although there are aerial machine guns on the aircraft, they are only used for self-defense.
So as soon as the fighter jets left, they also flew away, and if they still wanted to bomb, they would also need to reload their bombs.
Endo looked at the plane that flew away and the Chinese army that had not suffered serious damage, and angrily gave the translator a big mouth.
The Japanese translator was sent flying more than three meters, fell to the ground, and kowtowed to Endo to apologize.
But at this time, Endo had already pulled out his gun, and without even looking at the Japanese translator, he shot him to death.
The Japanese officer on the side looked at it and shivered, and stood in front of Endo with a bow, waiting for Endo's announcement.
Endo roared loudly: "Bagayalu, if you hadn't followed me for a long time, your fate would be the same as him, do you understand?"
"Hi!"
The Japanese officer bowed deeply to apologize, otherwise he might indeed become the next translator in the next second.
Endo glanced at Lai'an County, which was gradually being swallowed up by the fire, and then waved his hand, and all the Japs walked toward the depths of the dense forest together.
As for where Endo is going, probably only he knows at this time.
This fierce little devil will never give up so easily.
Of course, Duanwu also knew this. The Japs commander in Lai'an County was extraordinary. He was fierce and wise, and he would not entangle and evacuate immediately if he failed. He was not sloppy at all.
Moreover, the consumption of this Dragon Boat Festival battle was very high, but very few supplies could be captured. Because many of the enemy's weapons and equipment were burned in the fire. Including two 105mm caliber howitzers that were thrown on the street, they were also destroyed by the Japanese army.
The plane blew up.
But the most important thing is that the fire is still burning in the city, and the Dragon Boat Festival convoy cannot get through at all.
So this battle seemed to be a complete victory for Dragon Boat Festival, but in fact Endo left a mess for Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival held an emergency meeting in the woods outside the city. The content of the meeting was that the little devils had guessed their next goal, and the road they took to Bengbu would probably not be easy.
Zhou Weiguo said: "Then let's turn west from here?"
Duanwu pointed at the map and said: "We are in the same position whether we are heading west or northwest. The Japs will not let us go so easily. And we are closer to Bengbu now, only more than a hundred kilometers away.
arrive."
Qiu Ming, who had just woken up, said: "Yes, our teacher will be waiting for us in Bengbu. If we don't go, he will wait in vain."
Zhou Weiguo also said at this time: "I heard that General Zhang also went to the fifth theater. According to his marching track, we may meet in Bengbu."
Duanwu said: "Well, then our plan remains unchanged. We will walk at night, be careful of the Japs' planes, and leave after we have eaten."
Having said that, Dragon Boat Festival looked at the sky, and it was gradually darkening. This was a layer of natural protective color, and with this layer of protection, they could reach the Bengbu area in less than two days at most!....
