Chapter 426 They are about to break out

This devastating bombing had a resounding name in later generations, called carpet bombing.

Carpet bombing is a tactical bombing method used by the United States in World War II in another time and space, that is, drop a bomb every 50 meters apart, and conduct large-scale blind bombing of the target area, turning the entire land in the target area over like arable land, and using this method to eliminate all the enemies without leaving any left.

This pioneering bombing method gave a devastating blow to Germany and Japan. It can be said that after the war, both countries were bombed into ruins by the American bombing method. In this time and space, the 6th Division of the Japanese army was the first to taste the taste of this devastating bombing.

The time it takes for an aviation bomb to exit the cabin to land and explode in just a few dozen seconds, but the consequences of the lock explosion are extremely terrifying.

The thick smoke in the sky wrapped around dust and flames completely wrapped the nearly 1,000 square meters of ground in front of the independent group, and it lasted for nearly ten minutes before slowly dissipating.

Although the nearest explosion point is three or four hundred meters away from the Xinyi Gang position, the Xinyi Gang soldiers hiding in the fox pit are not feeling well.

The fox pits and trenches where many people were located were shattered by strong shock waves, so that as soon as the explosion ended, the soldiers around them used all their hands and feet to dig out the comrades buried below.

After finally digging out the comrades, a strong wave of heat swept towards them.

Logically speaking, it is still very cold in Shanxi in April. Sometimes the temperature at night can even reach three or four degrees. All the soldiers in the new regiment are still wearing cotton jackets, but this wave of heat makes all the soldiers sweat profusely.

But this is nothing. At this time, the soldiers of the New First Regiment no longer care about whether it is hot or not, because at this time, they were all stunned when they looked at the foot of the mountain under the flares.

Due to the rapid movement of the Japanese army, as of now, the troops arrived at the Japanese army already included the Sixth Field Artillery Regiment, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment and the 45th Infantry Regiment.

Not to mention the artillery corps, the cavalry corps and infantry corps alone have more than 5,000 troops, so the Japanese army has sufficient troops to surround the two hills.

The bombs dropped by the B-25 bombing squadron just now covered the location of a squadron of Japanese infantry. It can be said that in just one round of bombing, the squadron suffered a devastating blow.

Looking at the Japanese army that had become silent in front of them, everyone in the Xinyi regiment knew that the Japanese army in front of them had already finished, and even gods could not save them.

On the hillside, Political Commissar Li looked at the Japanese positions that had become scorched earth at the foot of the mountain and had become dull, "My goodness... these planes are too... too..."

He really couldn't find any words to describe this bombing.

"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshe

At this moment, the walkie-phone speaker behind him made a rustling sound, and soon a young voice rang out, "If you hear the new 1st group, please answer. I am Major Xue Shaogong, the commander of the air formation this time... If you hear it, please answer."

Ding Wei quickly brought the headset and picked up the megaphone, suppressed his excitement and said loudly, "I am Ding Wei, the commander of the New First Regiment. Thank you for your late-night assistance. Please express your gratitude to Captain Gao for me!"

Xue Shaogong's voice came from the headset, "Captain Ding is so polite. Before we came, our team said that you can lead all the soldiers of the new 1st regiment to put life and death aside and come to reinforce us to resist the Japanese invaders' battle. We should be thankful for you."

Hearing this, Ding Wei's old face turned red, and he knew very well.

The reason why he rushed to Liantai County so eagerly was not just to support friendly forces. A large part of the reason was that after more than a month of continuous combat, the troops were almost exhausted, both weapons, ammunition and food supplies.

Instead of continuing to play hide-and-seek with the Japanese army in the steep mountains, it is better to rush to Liantai County to meet the Liantai militia. As long as you can arrive in Liantai County, the new regiment will immediately recover. Why not do such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

But then again, everything in the world is about the truth and the heart, and there is no perfect person in the world.

I believe Gao Hongming also understands this in his heart. No matter what the purpose is, he has to appreciate it.

These things are long, but they are actually just a moment.

Ding Wei, who came back to his senses, hurriedly said, "Brother Xue, we are now surrounded by at least five or six thousand Japanese troops. Although your bombing just now caused great casualties to the enemy, they did not suffer a devastating blow. I am worried that once we leave the support of the position, the Japanese army will launch an unscrupulous attack on us, and it will be troublesome at that time."

Ding Wei's words are of course very reasonable. The reason why the New Regiment confronted the Japanese army, which occupied the superior forces for so long was because it took the lead in occupying the favorable terrain of the two hills. Once it was separated from its position, as long as the Japanese army surrounded and fought together, the New Regiment, which had consumed most of the reserves of ammunition in more than a month of mobile warfare, would not last long.

Faced with Ding Wei's concerns, Xue Shaogong just chuckled: "Captain Ding, don't worry. In order to support you, Chief Gao has sent out all the bombers. In addition to the bombing squadron that had returned after the bombing just now, there are two Stuka dive bombers squadrons, a B-25 bomber squadron and two fighter squadrons above you, a total of 120 aircraft.

As long as the Japanese army dares to surround them, we will let them know what a death barrier is, so you are completely worried about safety.”

Although Xue Shaogong said this in a light tone, the arrogance contained in it made Ding Wei and Political Commissar Li unable to speak for a while. Ding Wei could only say a few more words in a vague way and then hang up the communication.

After putting down the microphone, he and Political Commissar Li looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on both of them at the same time. They all said this, can he still refuse?

After pondering for a moment, Ding Wei's gaze gradually became firm, "Communication officer!"

"arrive!"

"Tell me the order, unite and break through the southeast direction in twenty minutes!"

"yes!"

Just as Ding Wei was busy breaking through, the captain of the Forty-fifth United Army, Nagase Shotaro was still immersed in great shock and sadness.

However, in the previous round of bombing, the third brigade under his command was gone, and no one could stand it.

But after the shock, a chill surged from the backbone. When did the Chinese actually have such powerful air power?

Just as he was still in shock, the Chief of Staff hurried over: "His Excellency the Captain of the United Nations, look at the Chinese...the Chinese are about to break through!"
