Chapter 242: The tactics of fighting cattle across the mountain (Part 2)

The Japanese army's flight formation flew over from above the 10th Column.

The soldiers of the 10th Column who had experience in prevention and control were all hiding in temporary prevention and control holes, and the sentry outside stared at the plane above his head nervously.

Just as the warriors usually say, how can the Japanese be so smart?

A warrior is not worth it when the Japanese use 500-pound missiles to bomb, let alone the bombs like a cub on the bomber behind. So, finding a place where machine guns on the Japanese plane is not easy to hit, any single warrior outside is safe.

In the command center, Zhou Baozhong stared at the phone nervously. Every time the Japanese plane passed, the casualties statistics of each regiment were always the most worried issue in his heart.

Instead, supplies and ammunition, after the casualties increased, were gradually evenly released.

It gave the troops a chance to breathe, but everyone knows what is behind this?

It was all the bloody lessons learned by the soldiers after their death. But as time passed by, Zhou Baozhong did not hear the bombs dropped by the bombs like a rocking explosion, nor did the fighter roaring and diving from above the position.

It seems that the Japanese should pay attention temporarily and no longer prepare to bomb, but instead they change to scare people. This is obviously impossible. Soon Chief of Staff Li Zhaolin rushed into the command center. The cave was in the middle of a mountain, very safe and very secret.

The Japanese reconnaissance plane hovered over the head of the 10th Column for so long, but didn't notice that the headquarters of the 10th Column was under the wings where they had been flying.

"Commander, the Japanese did not bomb." Li Zhaolin shouted loudly.

"No more bombing?" Zhou Baozhong said strangely.

In fact, even he didn't believe in this result. If the Japanese hadn't turned suddenly above his head, Li Zhaolin would have thought it was the Japanese's confusing tactic. Then, as usual, after the Japanese transport plane flew above the Japanese controlled, it began to put down parachutes from the warehouse. Boxes of weapons and ammunition were hung in the landing mountains and slowly floated down.

After fighting for so many days, when I was lucky, the 10th Column could get one or two parachute bags from the Japanese airdrop supplies, and it was also fashionable.

However, this requires God's help. In the valley, a sudden mountain wind caused the parachute to divert and fly to the 10th column position.

"I don't know what medicine I bought in the Japanese gourd? Anyway, the Japanese bombers have all left and the fighter have also left, leaving transport planes and airdropping supplies. I guess in a while, the Japanese's small mountain cannons will be the protagonist." Li Zhaolin said with a little relaxed look. After a night of fighting, the Japanese's confidence has also been cleared. The Japanese's mountain cannons are not many, just like a brigade.

The 10th Column built a position while blocking the Japanese.

For more than a day, many mountains and even the air-raid shelters were dug up well, and they were not worried about the Japanese artillery bombardment at all.

If the Japanese had heavy artillery, it could also cause some trouble to the 10th Column's blocking troops, but mountain artillery obviously didn't have to worry about it. At all, Li Zhaolin was full of confidence in the first battle today and was well prepared. The 10th Column was at least in terms of water storage and grain and ammunition reserves in the positions.

Originally, it was calculated based on the attack of blocking the Japanese for three days, so naturally I would not worry about needing to supplement after a night of battle.

wrong!

Zhou Bao’s center has always suspected that the 1st Column had arrived at Jiaohe, was it to hide the whereabouts of the troops or to give the Japanese a sudden blow? According to the scheduled time, the 1st Column should have arrived in the Jiaohe area. Could it be that the Japanese plane was heading towards the 1st Column?

The weekly report center called secretly, it was not good. I couldn't care much. I immediately ordered the radio station to move up the mountain, and immediately called the 1st Column Command.

In order to conceal, the radio station of the 10th Column also starts in two hours, and the coordination of troops is somewhat restricted.

But what followed was that the radio station became much safer.

This made Zhou Baozhong realize what the Japanese planes above his head were doing? It has been a day or two for fighting with the 11th Division, and most of the Japanese tricks were found. The reconnaissance aircraft was equipped with radio monitoring devices, which poses a great threat to local command centers. However, the Japanese army is also in the exploratory stage in this regard, and the effectiveness of the reconnaissance aircraft is not as magical as Zhou Baozhong thought.

But this kind of alert never made him relax his vigilance.

Zhou Baozhong was very open and relieved his doubts. The sound of shelling from the direction of Fara Town had already made him understand that the main force of the 1st Column had bit the tail of the 11th Division.

At this time, the 11th Division drew air strike firepower to threaten the attack on the 1st Column behind it, which is very understandable.

"Don't be confused, Wang Li is confused!" Zhou Baozhong said to himself in a heartache. It must be that the 1st Column set up the main artillery position on the periphery of Fara Town and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army. Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract the entire Japanese aviation formation.

With more than 30 enemy planes, have the artillery of the 1st Column still fled?

"It won't be so bad, right? Commander Wang has been in the main force, has rich combat experience and will not make such a mistake. Could it be a small-scale artillery battle?" Zhao Shangzhi said suspiciously from the side. Among the news from the radio, there was a precedent for the 4th Brigade of the 1st Column to repel Japanese aircraft in Tokyo towns.

According to the situation at that time, Wang Lifa should have a very good idea in air defense operations.

"You can drown the water if you know how to do it. Have you heard of this?" Zhou Baozhong might be angry and spoke without hesitation. Even Zhao Shangzhi was stunned when asked. Is it really as bad as Zhou Baozhong thought?

In fact, the artillery troops of the 1st Column did not even arrive in Jiaohe City.

Although it has entered the territory of Jiaohe, the logistics supply cannot keep up, so the artillery hides in the woodland beside the road after camouflaging during the day. This will prevent the Japanese reconnaissance plane from finding it. After dark, the Japanese reconnaissance planes will be useless before transporting the artillery to a predetermined location. Prepare for tomorrow's attack.

Of course, Wang Lifa was also very surprised that the 3rd Brigade would be so rapid.

At first glance, it looks very similar to his 1-Longe combat style. It is very resolute, but this speed?

It's a little too fast!

After receiving the inquiry telegram from the 10th Column, Wang Lifa was stunned and found the communications soldiers to ask about the location of the artillery. The result of the answer was that they were all staying in the forest? Besides, there were no planes hovering above their heads. The Japanese had to find the right target if they wanted to bomb!

Thinking of this, Wang Lifa couldn't stand it anymore and brought the guard battalion and the command center.

He escaped directly from the large army and rushed to the Jiaohe River.

Besides, after Zheng Xingguo made up his plan, he was worried.

Before the Japanese were deceived, this worry would become heavier and heavier as time went by. Until the scene when the answer was revealed, he heard the Japanese plane whizzing past the forest above his command center without any scruples. Zheng Xingguo clenched his fist hard, and now, half of his hanging heart fell down. Next, we will see the battle of the air defense battalion.

In air combat, ground forces strike airplanes, which is very unfavorable.

On the one hand, for anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, the target can appear at a 360-degree azimuth in the air, and the altitude and distance will change in extreme times. This adds great difficulty to the defense of ground air defense forces.

Just think about the Japanese planes that were shot down from the battlefield.

For the 40-year-old Japanese aviation army, most of the aircraft were replaced with metal aircraft. However, it was not like in 33 that many Japanese aircraft were eliminated from World War I. Such fragile wooden shelves and thin wings were gone forever.

In Nomenkan, Zheng Xingguo witnessed a destroyed Japanese fighter jet.

Around the broken wreckage, there were tear-breaking metal blades, which looked like a steel monster. Even if the heavy machine gun was aimed at the strafing, it could not break up such Japanese aircraft. The 20mm machine cannon fired much slower than the heavy machine gun, and there was not much ammunition loaded at one time, so it could not be fired continuously for a long time.

It is possible to fight bombers with relatively slow flight speeds in Japanese aircraft, but fighters with very fast flight speeds seem to be slower in firepower output.

"If I'm lucky..."

Zheng Xingguo is not a superstitious person. As a soldier, he is in danger of life and death at any time on the battlefield. He has seen life and death more, but he is no longer worried about it. But in the face of such a battle, he has an indescribable worry.

The original one is too big, so Zheng Xingguo can't afford to make trouble.

In order to create a column of artillery clusters, Zheng Xingguo made up his capital and placed eight artillery pieces on the position, which was the bait he specially prepared to rely on.

If the fish came, swallowed the bait and ran away safely, Zheng Xingguo was so angry that he vomited blood. The shooting of the eight artillery guns, as long as the artillery loaded several degrees faster, was quite powerful, and it was worth attracting all the Japanese planes.

But the final protagonist, in the 3rd Brigade, still depends on the ability of the column air defense battalion.

Zheng Xingguo was completely unsure of how many Japanese aircraft could be left behind. If he had compensated for the losses of the air defense battalion, perhaps the battle would not end and he would have received criticism from the column and even the Oshi.

Perhaps because of the heavy pressure on his body, Zheng Xingguo picked up a rifle that had been guarding, ran out of the command center, and left a sentence: "No, I have to go and see it. If you stay in the command center, you will be suffocated to death."

Looking at Zheng Xingguo who was climbing up the hillside with both hands and feet, Zhang Wuqiang could only shake his head and smile.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes had previously arrived above the artillery positions. There seemed to be more than 20 artillery positions on the surface, but in fact, there were only 8 mountain cannons that were actually firing shells.

But the plane is at a high place and can't see clearly.

We can only take photos first and then flush them out when we return. However, fighter jets and bombers cannot wait for the photos to flush out in the sky before attacking.

The captain of the Kwantung Army Air Force looked at the smoke of rear-aircraft gunfire on the ground, relying on his experience. This must be an artillery position. Then look at the surrounding terrain. This artillery position has at least 20 cannons.

The news reached the Kwantung Army Air Force Flight Regiment in Jilin and immediately issued an attack order.

The moment the Japanese flight formation opened, he looked at the observation post at the observation post, and was delighted in his heart, and muttered: "It depends on you, it depends on you!"

It can be seen that Qu Xiangdong was also very nervous.

The screams of the fighter's dive reminded the artillery battalion soldiers on the artillery positions to run out of the position and drill into the forest not far away. As long as you enter the forest, safety will be guaranteed. Unless the Japanese bombers do not even let go of the forest on both sides.

This is obviously impossible, unless the Japanese bombs are moldy in the warehouse, they will not bomb the woods.

Unless the Japanese believe that this inconspicuous forest is the command center of the 1st Column, or the intelligence shows that Zeng Yiyang is also very likely to be here. He will bombard the consequences without regard to the consequences.

The first wave of attacks by Japanese fighter jets went very smoothly.

The plane almost flew past the artillery position, with a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, which made the pilot unable to see the situation on both sides and could only distinguish the scenery ahead. However, the center position was the real cannons, and boxes of cannonballs were placed around the cannons.

This is absolutely impossible to be wrong.

The aviation bomb escaped from the belly of the aircraft and roared into the soil, exploding violently.

Twelve Japanese planes flew past positions one by one, dropping most of the bombs into artillery positions. Then the bombers arrived late and began to drop bombs in slightly higher areas.

Everything was like a sudden sneak attack, which made the successful Japanese aviation army very excited. This kind of battle could destroy the most important offensive weapon of the entire opponent without much energy. It can be said that it was a very typical sudden air strike.

When Japanese fighters flew by, Qu Xiangdong could still remain calm. After all, for combat troops, air defense is to prevent Japanese bombing, and bombers are the big heads. Fighters are just a moving iron bird, and the harm they cause to the troops is not as big as those of bulky bombers.

After running for more than ten minutes, Zheng Xingguo finally rushed to a high ground. He was shocked when he saw a sea of ​​fire in the valley.

The shock waves of aviation bombs exploded on the ground. The shock waves caused by the explosion were like small flowers. Not long ago, they were still on the artillery position. Zheng Xingguo, who was tired and couldn't even breathe, stared at the air defense camp positions on both sides, and had not opened fire yet?

What's going on?

Zheng Xingguo had the urge to shout, but the air that inhaled into his lungs was so hot that he kept coughing.

At this time, Qu Yingdong of the observation post, he hit the red signal flare in the signal gun in his hand into the sky.

The air defense battalion, which had been waiting for the attack order, immediately aimed all the machine guns, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns at the Japanese bombers that landed at the end. It attacked almost at a very small elevation angle, providing great help to the firepower hit.

In addition, the distance was also close, and the air defense battalion was arranged above the middle of the mountain. The target of the Japanese bomber was to target the artillery positions in the circular valley. When the two approaches were closer, the combat effectiveness of the air defense suddenly increased a lot.

A Japanese bomber flying in the front, and when a cannon hit, the fuel tank caught fire, turned into a ball of fire, and rushed to the ground.

After a small team of Japanese fighters turned flexibly in the air, they had already followed the bomber, preparing to search the battlefield after the bomber bombing was completed, and then complete the entire air attack.

However, the Japanese fighter pilot was soon surprised to see a slaughtering attack.
