The mechanized combat troops brought by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie this time, especially the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons installed on some combat vehicles.
Some were captured from the Japanese.
For example, the aviation machine gun captured from the Japanese plane crashed.
There are also rapid-fire machine guns captured from the Japs. After being modified, they are perfect for use against Jaap aircraft operating at low altitudes.
The Wuchagou Japanese and puppet military airfield responsible for air fire reinforcements in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia is more than one level behind the Yangmingbao Airport in Shanxi.
There are only about a dozen or twenty aircraft in the airport that have been preparing for war for a long time, and most of them are vintage aircraft that are almost on the verge of being eliminated.
Compared with the advanced aircraft that were out of service at Yangmingbao Airport and the temporary aircraft site built by the Japanese army in Licheng County in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, it was far behind.
The troops led by Kong Jie who faced them were equipped with anti-aircraft weapons that had many records in the Taihang generation and shot down many advanced Japanese aircraft.
The contest between the two sides quickly kicked off.
From the moment they realized that the Japanese plane was approaching the battlefield, the soldiers of the quick reaction force took action immediately.
In order to avoid being hit by ranged firepower from Japanese bombers.
The soldiers formed a tacit understanding of the armored vehicles, tanks and combat vehicles, and arranged them into a relatively tacit air defense array.
Then, while getting ready to go, they were waiting for the Japanese planes to appear and the best time to fire at the Japanese planes.
Masturbation is by no means a blind thing, it involves a lot of technical content.
There is knowledge involved in the specific weapons to use, the angle of shooting, the frequency of shooting, the formation of the attack, etc.
There are corresponding fighting methods for using anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns.
If you use the regular Czech style and crooked handle, there are also ways to play.
Even with the most common rifle in hand, there are still ways to fight in the air.
This is described in a more systematic and detailed manner in the military training manual written by Kong Jie.
When soldiers are engaged in air-to-air combat, they must have a preliminary judgment in mind about the performance of the Japanese aircraft, including speed, heading, etc.
Then make predictions based on the flight trajectory of the Japanese aircraft, calculate the advance amount of shooting, and concentrate the corresponding crossfire.
In order to achieve the purpose of effectively hitting the target and destroying the enemy aircraft.
This is definitely not going to bring down the plane by shooting randomly into the air while blindfolded. The probability of that is quite low.
"Smoke screen, cover the attack!"
Seeing that each tank had deployed its anti-aircraft weapons and was ready to attack the Japanese aircraft, the artillery soldiers at the rear took the opportunity to fire some smoke bombs, letting the smoke of gunpowder messyly fill the entire battlefield.
Regardless of the effect, it can at least cause certain visual interference to the Japanese pilots, thus playing a certain covering role.
On the other side, the soldiers of the 715th and 716th Regiments, who were attacking the Suzuki Regiment from the flank, sensed that the Japanese plane was approaching.
They followed the instructions of their regimental commander before the war and followed the old tradition of the Northwest Military Region in dealing with Japanese aerial bombings.
They could either find bunkers to avoid and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or they could directly close the distance and become completely entangled with the Japanese and puppet troops, making the Japanese aircraft unable to effectively attack.
So under the evolution of the war situation.
The soldiers who originally attacked the Suzuki Alliance from both flanks immediately launched one charge after another, taking the initiative to close the distance with the Suzuki Alliance's little devils.
Along with the smoke bombs projected everywhere on the battlefield, under the smoke, it looked very chaotic at first glance.
The gray, green and yellow are almost mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish between you and me.
Only those armored vehicles, tanks, and various combat vehicles that were far away from the Suzuki Wing were galloping back and forth at very fast speeds, staying away from the area where the two sides were fighting.
Naturally, it became the first target to attract Japanese aircraft to attack.
"beat!"
Da da da--
Bang bang bang——
Just when a few Japanese light bombers were conducting low-altitude dive bombing, the aircraft reached the lowest altitude of flight.
The soldiers who had been on their tanks ready to go did not hesitate anymore. They operated the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons in their hands and fired wildly at the target.
The tanks scattered in all directions, and the machine gun shells and machine gun shells that were fired immediately converged on an area from all angles after being fired, shrouding the Japanese aircraft flying past at high speed.
Even if the bullet hits the plane, it doesn't seem to have a very noticeable effect.
On the contrary, those anti-aircraft cannons immediately exploded in mid-air after the shells exploded in mid-air, even if they did not hit the target.
Coupled with the blue sky, it is like the ink dots thrown out by the squid, blooming instantly in the blue water.
A sudden blow.
These vintage aircraft that the Mongolian Army has always placed at Wuchagou Airport have never seen such a battle, especially these Japanese pilots who are used to being pampered at the airport.
All along, against the Eighth Route Army troops in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, including the National Army troops, they have always had air superiority and have always fought absolutely crushing battles.
Every time after receiving a combat mission, he roared away, bombing the bombs he brought with him at the target, and then left.
This seems to have become a common occurrence.
From the perspective of pilots like them, those poor bastards who were as fragile as ants on the ground looked like a herd of frightened animals when they heard the sound of their fighter jets and bombers in the distance. Running around.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain, and they were immediately subjected to ruthless strafing and bombing, and casualties spread rapidly.
Under the cover of aerial firepower, it is like purgatory on earth for the enemy.
What an interesting and evocative situation it was!
They didn't think such a humble opponent had the ability to fight back.
Until this moment, all the arrogance and pride were severely slapped in the face by reality.
The sudden anti-aircraft fire caught the two oncoming Japanese light bombers off guard.
Like a flying net thrown into the air, covering it completely, the two Japanese dive-bombing light bombers were directly penetrated by raindrops of bullets on the spot.
He was hit again by an incoming artillery shell.
Then it dragged a long plume of smoke, and after the fuselage completely lost control, it stumbled toward the horizon not far away like a kite with its string broken.
Because all this happened so suddenly, and the swooping plane was too close to the ground, even the Japanese pilots in the plane had no time to make an emergency parachute.
Then the entire plane hit the ground hard, and with a loud noise, no bones were left.
The machine gunners and gunners on the tank became more and more excited when they saw that the blow was effective. They operated the machine guns and machine cannons in their hands and fired more fiercely.
The soldiers driving the vehicles continued to maintain their speed, avoiding the shooting of Japanese fighter jets and bombing bombers at any time.
While maintaining efficient dodge capability, the entire tank can withstand anti-aircraft fire against enemy aircraft in mid-air at any time.
At this time, if you look at it from God's perspective.
It can be seen that on the battlefield of Nuoda, the Suzuki Regiment in the central area and several main regiments of the 358th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are still in a fierce battle.
On the two wings of the central battle area, a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, various modified military vehicles, and motorcycles were spread out. During the extremely fast advancement process, they were loaded with various anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, roaring back and forth in the air. Japanese fighters and bombers opened fire wildly.
There was smoke everywhere.
The soldiers fired a large number of smoke bombs, and as the thick smoke billowed up, it even obscured the vision of many areas.
The Japanese used aircraft machine guns loaded on fighter jets to shoot at the ground from mid-air.
Light bombers kept dropping bombs.
Some combat vehicles that had no time to dodge were blown up by Japanese artillery shells, and the Eighth Route Army also suffered casualties.
But it is not a one-sided situation.
The Japanese fighter jets and bombers, which were circling and roaring in mid-air, also failed to get any favors. They were constantly suppressed by the firepower pouring in from all over the ground.
In just a few minutes, three or four aircraft were destroyed by ground anti-aircraft fire.
The fighting on the entire battlefield was quite fierce.
It is quite rare to show the fierce confrontation between the infantry and the air force of the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese troops.
Brigadier Zhang, who was in the camouflaged frontier reconnaissance fortifications, holding a telescope and observing the battlefield situation from a distance, saw the Iron Triangle's mechanized combat troops directly forming up and engaging in a fierce confrontation with the Japanese flying troops. For a moment, I was amazed by what I saw.
"Okay, okay, good fight!"
Brigadier Zhang said three good words in a row, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Commissar, did you see it?
Comrades from the Iron Triangle have set a good example for us!
The Japanese planes have always bullied us. Every time the Japanese flying troops came over, we were forced to evacuate, and we always fought in vain.
But in the current battle, the troops led by Kong Jie and others showed anti-air combat tactics and these special air defense equipment.
Obviously, it was enough to threaten the Japanese flying troops.
Even the little devil who has gained air supremacy can fly domineeringly and arrogantly just by relying on the plane. From today on, it will officially become history! "
The political commissar on the side took it seriously and said: "Brigadier Commander, after this battle is over, we must ask these two boys Li Yunlong and Kong Jie to help us build up the air defense force of our 358th Brigade."
"Is this the reason, or you reminded me in time!" Brigadier Zhang said with a smile.
…
On the battlefield, the mechanized combat vehicles led by Kong Jie launched a powerful counterattack against the Japanese flying troops.
This scene not only surprised Brigadier Zhang and his party.
On the other hand, the boys of the Suzuki Alliance who witnessed all this were even more stunned.
The old Japanese Suzuki never thought that these Eighth Route Army troops would be so powerful. They even had a considerable level and quantity of anti-aircraft weapons.
In just a few moments, four or five aircraft of the flying force were destroyed.
We know that although the flying force's firepower is fierce, it cannot fight a protracted war like the army. Once the ammunition carried by the aircraft runs out, it will be forced to evacuate the battlefield.
And once the reinforcement firepower of the flying troops withdraws.
Suzuki Ozuo let out a long sigh, his face turning pale for a moment.
At this moment, let alone winning this battle and annihilating these Eighth Route Army, he did not even have the confidence to break out from the encirclement of these Eighth Route Army that were stubbornly entangled.
finally……
The battle situation continued to evolve, and the situation on the battlefield was as Suzuki Ozuo had speculated.
The last remaining bombers of the Japanese flying team soon ran out of explosives, and six aircraft crashed.
Realizing that this Eighth Route Army unit posed too great a threat to aircraft.
And the situation on the battlefield at this time was not something that a flying force like them could forcefully reverse.
The Japanese squadron leader who led the team had no choice but to issue an order to return to the airport in order to avoid greater losses to the flight team.
A group of classic planes, two of which left with long plumes of smoke trailing from their tails.
The Japs' flying troops, which used to show off their might and arrogance, now looked like lost dogs, and withdrew in a gray manner.
And as the Japanese flying troops evacuated.
All the offensive pressure from the Eighth Route Army immediately fell on the Suzuki United.
The anxious Suzuki Dazuo has repeatedly ordered the Communications Department to continue to ask for help from the headquarters.
But at this moment, how can there be reinforcements that can come in time?
The nearest Nishino United Force had been completely defeated, and even Baode County seemed to have been lost, and was also being pursued by the Eighth Route Army.
The reinforcing air firepower was counterattacked by the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces, and no effective attack was achieved.
Great pressure came upon us.
Suzuki Dazuo, who has the character of an outlaw, even thought of fighting these damn Eighth Route Army to the death in order to defend the dignity of the imperial warriors.
After this thought emerged, Suzuki Dazuo decided to burn the boat and simply stopped running. He directly ordered the remaining imperial warriors to launch a death charge against the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
No matter what the cost, fight to the death with these Eighth Route Army troops.
His original determination was firm.
Until he turned his head and inadvertently saw through the binoculars those large, round, dark oil barrels in the Eighth Route Army troops.
Recalling that when he rushed to Xiaonan Village with his main force, he happened to see dozens of large oil barrels spraying wildly, spitting out tongues of fire, projecting explosive packets towards the front of the village, and bombing the vanguard brigade.
Suzuki Dazuo shuddered suddenly.
Then he completely suppressed the thought in his mind of fighting to the death with the Eighth Route Army.
These damn Eighth Routes.
He cursed in his mind.
I don’t know how smart these Eighth Route Army troops are. Their backward arsenals were able to develop such unconventional artillery.
There are these heartless artillery pieces that can deliver large amounts of explosive charges.
If the Japanese army carried out a large-scale charge, no matter how many troops they had, it would be no different than delivering food.
What else can we do?
Keep running away!
Suzuki Dazuo could only command desperately and lead the troops to continue to break out in the direction of Guzhen. As long as they can escape, count as many as they can...
