What is strange is that the Japanese have been here all day and did not launch a large-scale attack at night.

The sky in the east began to turn white, and there was a drizzle like ox hair in the sky. Although it was not heavy, this humid feeling made these Northeastern soldiers very uncomfortable. The sky was still gloomy, and the Japanese troops in the distance were very abnormal at the entrance of the mountain.

A fire was raised. After some thought, Li Yuan remembered that it was the Japanese providing coordinates to the upcoming aviation reconnaissance troops in the sky, and the regiment must also have received the news.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and there was a buzzing sound in the eastern sky. It should be that the Japanese planes were starting their routine reconnaissance.

Soon, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew over from behind the Japanese station and flew over the last trench of the supplementary regiment. The planes spread out and made a circle in the north and south directions, cruising back and forth. The ghost reconnaissance planes watched carefully.

The Japanese 10th Division suffered a heavy loss yesterday.

The supplementary regiment is relatively well hidden. Most of it is in the woods. From the sky, you can only see the simple trenches on the pass road, which are not very wide. Only the easternmost trench has a few Chinese soldiers lying down, guarding against the Japanese.

Coming from the highway, the Japanese aircraft adjusted its posture and pulled down from behind the Japanese position. The aircraft's onboard 7.7mm Type 97 machine gun began to target a few scattered infantrymen in the trenches.

The Northeastern Army is still very experienced in dealing with Japanese aircraft. The trajectory of the machine guns on the Japanese aircraft is generally a straight line. As long as it is not on the trajectory of the Japanese aircraft, it is basically impossible to hit them. Of course, if you lie down in the trench, the trajectory of the machine gun on the aircraft is basically straight.

The trajectory of machine gun bullets can only be shot diagonally, and there is no way to hit them at all. It is a waste to throw bombs with just a few people. They went back and forth like this for six or seven rounds without hitting anyone, and they flew to the Japanese position.

He flapped his wings and headed north with regret like a gentleman.

What's even more strange is that the Japanese planes fought so hard, but the Japanese infantry did not coordinate the attack. Li Yuan shook his head, this is not normal, too abnormal. The Japanese planes flew not far from the aircraft carrier at sea, and there is no shortage of fuel.

Just show your face and go home like this? Maybe there are other reconnaissance missions, maybe you are overthinking it.

It is estimated that it will take about an hour like yesterday before the Japanese soldiers will get the specific reconnaissance information.

What everyone in the supplementary group didn't know was that the Japanese division leader Sadao Nakajima judged their current unit as a division, which was too high. The Japanese Army Air Force had a heavy task and specifically applied for tactical guidance from the Naval Air Force. The Navy Ministry

The Army looked down on the Army very much, but under the order of the Dispatch Army Headquarters, it still mobilized and arranged a flying team, a total of 30 flying squadrons, to prepare for carpet bombing in the woods in front of the Japanese according to the infantry requirements, blowing up the woods? The Army

Those stupid pigs must have their brains wet.

The Japanese troops in the supplementary group were nearly three companies in size. Hundreds of people from both sides were piled in the woods about 200 meters apart. They fired guns at each other. After daybreak, the Japanese tentatively launched two small attacks in the woods.

It was the first attack of this scale. However, around 9:30, the Japs actually stopped. Not only did the Japs not move forward, but the Japs' forward soldiers were actually retreating.

This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the group, and Li Yuan was also the first to notice this scene.

After a brief meeting of the supplementary regiment, it was decided to move backwards immediately. The Japanese should have called the plane over, but the time of attack is in the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese have already begun to retreat and disengage. Then, the attack of the plane is right in front of us. Now I know

The situation and judgment were also very accurate, leaving very little time for the supplementary group to retreat.

Ten o'clock sharp.

A distant buzzing sound began to sound in the east. The war was really fair, and the fight was based on strength. The National Army's aircraft from the 1st to the 9th Brigade had a total of more than 200 aircraft, and the Japanese Navy and Army Air Force had more than 2,000 aircraft.

, the performance difference between the models is not big. When fighting in one's own house, the enemy bombs are flying all over the sky. The national army looks at it as belongings. This is a p. The national army lost most of its aircraft not long after the war started. Now it is no longer possible.

The establishment of the war against Japan lost air supremacy, which was a fatal blow to the national army, which had more troops. It could no longer fight the Japanese army and could only watch the Japanese planes rampage in the sky to show off their power.

The Japanese aviation troops have already begun to form in the sky, diving in groups of two, and are about to bomb the woods in front of the Japanese. Li Yuan's platoon is in the middle. Li Yuan pondered for a while, and immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to assemble towards the woods and move towards the second company.

, move closer to the direction of the Japanese positions. Only in this way can it be possible to minimize casualties in the subsequent battle. We must entangle with the Japanese so that the places where the Japanese are present will not be bombed.

This caused some strange phenomena. It was obviously the Japanese attacking, but now it was Li Yuan who joined the officers and soldiers of the second company and moved towards the Japanese position. When they were about fifty meters away from the Japanese, the intensive gunshots of the infantry rang out.

The two sides started shooting at each other.

According to the plan that had been made long ago, the Japanese pilots carried out carpet bombing on the woods on both sides from the direction of the Japanese attack five hundred meters in front of the fire. The distance was two kilometers.

The captain was greatly surprised. The Japanese plane had already flown directly into the woods, regardless of whether there were people inside or not. It dropped aerial bombs frantically. The supplementary regiment discovered it very timely and abandoned the formation and retreated. However, facing the huge Japanese aircraft

A large-scale bombing, no matter how we retreated, we were still within the bombing range of the Japanese. We could not outrun the Japanese planes with our feet. Under the bombing of the planes, more than 30 aircraft from three squadrons continued to bombard the woods ahead. Starting from the Japanese position.

The entire area of ​​nearly two kilometers was within the bombing range of the Japanese, and special attention was paid to the Yankou position.

As a result, the loss of the supplementary regiment was very heavy. Except for the baggage troops, which had already retreated, they were all still within the range of the Japanese bombing.

Thirty Japanese planes plowed back and forth in the woods, usually for three times. More than half of the members of the supplementary regiment were immediately injured or killed. The key was that there were so many wounded, with arms and legs missing everywhere. The sound was extremely tragic, and the entire regiment basically lost its ability to fight.

, the replenishment group couldn't attract so many planes under normal circumstances. Why not follow the little devil's instructions? This really can't be blamed on the little devil. The little devil also misjudged the opponent's strength. Now the one with the least battle losses on the battlefield is

A battalion that fought head-on with the Japanese was in complete chaos.

After the Japanese plane dropped its bombs, it flapped its wings and flew away proudly.

The Japanese infantry seemed to have exploded and began an all-out attack from the road and the woods. The current strength of the first battalion was no longer able to resist and they had to retreat.

The only thing that can stop the Japanese tank attack is a few temporary trenches dug at night on the middle road. But now the Japanese army is not stupid. All those attacking on the road are infantry. Engineers carrying sandbags are ready to fill the road with the national army.

The hole was blown up and the advance was very fast. Judging from the current situation, it was already very difficult to defend this pass and complete the target mission. The first battalion decisively ordered to lay booby traps and retreat.

Before the bombing was over, Li Yuan led his men away and began to go back into the trenches. After the Japs on the road dumped dozens of corpses, they had no choice but to let the tanks board again and wait for other Japs to emerge from the woods.

attack.

Every part of the gun was wet, with a layer of water stains attached to it. Li Yuan pulled the bolt of the rifle in his hand. The five bullets inside had the unique luster of metallic copper. One bullet hit the top of the gun.

On the dug-out road, the Japanese engineers began to advance forward, followed by two tanks. The machine guns on the tanks continued to fire at the trench where Li Yuan's platoon was located. The Japanese planned to use the engineers and tanks to open the way. The engineers had already

The sandbags were packed and placed behind the tank, and then dropped into the gap blown up by the Chinese army in front. However, tanks are not always good on the battlefield. The tank is just a mobile fort like this. Li

Yuan Xiang: To block the frontal attack of the Japanese, we have to blow up a tank with the explosives prepared by the Third Battalion and let it lie on the road, blocking the Japanese behind it.

The Third Battalion had already buried an electric-activated explosive package in the middle of the road. The explosive package was wrapped in a layer of waterproof tarpaulin, and the electric-activated control box was at the feet of the first squad leader.

The Japanese engineers walked behind the tank. The tank quickly arrived about a hundred meters away from the trench. Before the sandbags could be thrown down, the squad leader grinned and pressed down the handle. The ground under the Japanese tank made an earth-shattering sound.

The Japanese tank jumped and stopped. The tracks were blown off. The explosion wave shocked the Japanese in the tank. The machine gun also stopped. The engine caught fire. The tank was basically scrapped. Fortunately, the amount of explosives was not very large.

, if the tank is really blown into the field and cannot block the tanks behind it, it will be at least an hour before the Japanese tanks come over again, and the Japanese will have no chance to attack with infantry on this road.

The Japanese infantry attacking from the woods had begun to press forward crazily, and soon the second and third companies could no longer withstand it. They could only fight and retreat while hanging grenades in a mess, waiting for the Japanese to come and pull the strings. Further behind in the woods,

The 2nd and 3rd Battalions were bombarded by the Japs in the woods and suffered heavy losses. They were counting the wounded and retreating. The Japs marched forward as if they were dying, and soon they would reach the position defended by Li Yuan.

According to the planned tactics, the first and second platoons, led by the two platoon leaders, ran directly from the highway to the next trench at the entrance to the west. The third platoon also had to block the Japanese on the highway. According to the plan, the first and second platoons

When the second platoon is halfway through, it can join the second company and retreat back through the woods on the south road. It is the task of the second and third companies to stop the Japanese in the woods.

The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. The Japanese troops now deployed in the woods were so powerful that it was impossible for the second and third companies to defend themselves. The messenger sent word that the regiment headquarters was also hit by a bomb. The two regiment commanders were seriously injured, but

They all still persisted. The second and third battalions were basically destroyed by Japanese planes while hiding in the woods. However, from the beginning to the end, the Japanese attack on the highway showed little improvement. The regiment headquarters ordered the first battalion to no longer have direct contact with the Japanese and instead

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company together with the 2nd Battalion defended the woods on the southern front. The 1st Battalion, the 3rd Company and the remnants of the 3rd Battalion assisted in the defense of the northern front. The 526th Regiment was now acting as a reserve. Although the people of the 526th Regiment were not convinced by this arrangement, many officers took the initiative to volunteer.
