Li Yan's guess was correct. Just as he was discussing the next response strategy with Jiang Zhen along his own train of thought, the Japs stronghold on Thiangma Mountain Middle Road had received a call back from the superior troops, and the content of this call was Li Yan's.
As expected, the Japanese troops are about to launch an air raid on this Xishan County town.
Less than two and a half hours after the superior force sent the telegram, the Japanese flight formation had already taken action, heading straight for Xishan County. However, before the bombers could fly over the county, the leading Japanese pilots had already
The bombs were dropped and landed around Xishan County, triggering successive explosions.
Liu Guangyao, who was stationed inside the county town, saw the enemy planes approaching and quickly organized the reinforced regiment troops for air defense. Upon seeing this, the reinforced regiment troops quickly gathered together, dispersed according to the tactical formation, raised their rifles and fired at the enemy.
The Japanese bombers that were circling the wound in Xishan County were shot at, but after several rounds of shooting, the Japanese bombing
The plane was still hovering in the sky. When Liu Guangyao saw this, he imitated Li Yan's previous approach of shooting the plane and quickly leaned against the south wall of Xishan County. He climbed up to the observation hole, squatted on the narrow inner city wall, and put the gun in his hand.
The rifle was aimed at the Japanese bombers showing off their power in the sky, but it had no effect at all.
Just when Liu Guangyao was about to feel desperate, a gunshot suddenly came from the north of Xishan County. At the same time, a bomber in the Japanese flight formation tilted slightly to the right, but it did not reach the level of crashing.
After adjusting back and forth in the sky, it flew back to the sky above Xishan County again, confronting the reinforcements on the ground.
Goudan, who was in Xishan County, saw an opportunity, so he took the sniper rifle in his hand and ran towards the tilted Japanese bomber, hoping to find a favorable terrain to kill the Japanese bomber, but when Goudan reached the favorable terrain, he
When the bomber arrived at the location, the bomber turned its head again and headed towards Xishan County.
Flying in the direction of the north gate of the city, Goudan saw this and hurriedly followed the Japanese bomber with a gun in his hand. However, he just ran forward less than ten steps and bumped into a person heavily. Goudan took a closer look,
Realizing that the person coming was Li Yan, he hurriedly said: "Captain Li, the Japanese..."
Li Yan nodded slightly, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky: "I just told Brigadier Jiang when we were in the Western Shandong base area that the Japanese army might launch an air raid. I didn't expect it to come so soon...
..." When Li Yan said this, he suddenly stopped and walked in the direction of strengthening the regiment. While the Japanese flying formation focused all its attention on the northern part of Xishan County, he quickly moved the entire army.
Liu looked at the defensive formation and then faced the reinforced regiment troops and shouted loudly: "Everyone move closer to the north gate of Xishan County and attract the attention of the Japanese bombers with intensive firepower!" Liu, who was squatting at the observation hole in the south wall of Xishan County,
When Liu Guangyao heard this order, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw it was Li Yan, Liu Guangyao jumped back to the ground, pulled his neck and repeated loudly:
"Brothers from the Reinforcement Regiment, listen up. Now move closer to the north gate of Xishan County and try your best to attract the attention of the Japanese flying formation with intensive shooting!" Upon seeing this, the troops from the Reinforcement Regiment quickly gathered together and accelerated towards Xishan.
Move closer to the north gate of the county seat, and wait until the leading troops are about to contact the north gate of the county seat.
At that time, the entire team dispersed again, stood in their respective positions according to the formation just in the center of Xishan County, raised their rifles and aimed at the Japanese bombers circling in the sky. Liu Guangyao saw that the reinforced group had moved to
After specifying the location, he came to Li Yan and said: "Li Yan, I..."
"Guangyao, I don't have time to talk to you now. You should immediately return to the reinforced team at the north gate of the county and direct the defense of the brothers for me!" After Li Yan said this hastily, he turned his head away from him.
Goudan, who was far away, ordered: "Goudan, follow me!" Upon seeing this, Goudan put the sniper rifle back on his shoulder and came to Li Yan. Li Yan looked at Goudan's shoulder.
He raised his sniper rifle, looked up at the Japanese bombers in the sky, then turned around and moved quickly towards the east gate of Xishan County, taking Goudan behind him all the way to a mountain not far from the east gate.
On the top of the hill, seeing that there was nothing that could be used as a shelter, Li Yan took Goudan down a few steps and came to a dense forest.
Li Yan first pushed Goudan behind a thick tree, then picked up a sniper rifle and carefully observed the north direction of Xishan County. When he confirmed that these Japanese pilots had been completely attracted by the reinforced group at the north gate of the county,
He quickly left the woods, turned the muzzle of his sniper rifle and aimed at the tail fin of a Japanese bomber, and then put his index finger on it.
After a sharp pull on the trigger and a crisp gunshot, the Japanese bomber deviated from its original flight path and moved toward the woods west of Xishan County. Its flight altitude also gradually decreased, but within two minutes
, the bomber returned to its original flight altitude, swinging back and forth as it flew toward the center of Xishan County.
When Li Yan saw this, he immediately realized that the Japanese bomber would not stay in the sky for too long. In order to prevent its sudden crash from causing damage to Xishan County, Li Yan quickly raised his sniper rifle and hit the aircraft.
Before the Japanese bomber approached Xishan County, the trigger was pulled for the second time. A bullet flew down the barrel of the gun towards the Japanese bomber very quickly.
It accurately penetrated the front windshield of the bomber, shot into the forehead of the Japanese pilot, and then penetrated through the back of his head, instantly killing the Japanese pilot in the driver's seat. The entire bomber also immediately lost power, like a
It fell rapidly like a kite with its string broken, and finally fell heavily into the woods in the west of the county town, and then turned into a ball of fire amidst the violent explosion.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese flying formation did not dare to stay at the north gate of Xishan County and deal with the strengthening regiment troops who were organizing defenses. Instead, they turned around and flew quickly to the south of Xishan County, and finally disappeared among the strengthening regiment troops and Li Yan.
within sight, but just passed
Within a few minutes, these Japanese bombers turned back towards Xishan County. However, this time the leader of the Japanese flight formation did not point directly at the south gate of Xishan County. Instead, it circled to the east gate of the county, towards the building where Li Yan was hiding.
