Now Commander Song is even more confused. When did I request for support?
There is no other way. You have to live without understanding the situation. The Japanese have started to move, and you have to react in any way.
At present, it seems that the problem lies in Songshan, and he remembers that there is only one division and an independent reinforcement regiment in that direction. Are they capable of attacking the Japanese strong defensive fortress?
Commander Song is not a mediocre person. Anyway, since the Japanese army is supporting in that direction, the war situation must be unfavorable to them, and Tengchong may have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Immediately, Commander Song ordered the two divisions of the 66th Army under his command to approach Tengchong and try to block the Japanese troops supporting Nantianmen. At the same time, he ordered the 71st Army to conduct reconnaissance on the front line of the Nu River, and allowed them to open fire according to the situation and cross immediately if there was an opportunity. Jiang attacked.
The current situation is no longer just a matter of offensive and defensive battles at Nantianmen. All parties in western Yunnan are in turmoil, and both sides have broken the long-term peace because of this.
As the "chief culprit", Liao Mingyu was currently leading the battle on the east bank of the Nu River, but his mood sank to the bottom with the support of Japanese fighter planes.
At 12:35, the shelling stopped.
Chen Jize and the others had made defensive preparations at Banshanshi, and the Japanese attack came as expected by the regiment leader!
"Kill!"
Countless Japanese soldiers swarmed out of the position, and Takeuchi issued a death order. The mid-mountain stone must be taken and no one was allowed to retreat. Anyone who dared to retreat without authorization was shot immediately.
"The first battalion is in the center, and the second battalion protects the two wings. Commander Hong, pay attention to the location of the enemy's firepower points!"
"clear!"
The first main regiment of the Yu Division was at the forefront. In addition to them, Hong Mu and the heavy machine gun company of the third battalion were also here.
Seeing that the Japanese charge team had entered the shooting range, Zhang Lixian immediately shouted loudly: "The little devil is here, beat me hard!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
"Boom...boom...boom"
The two sides launched a thrilling offensive and defensive battle. The Japanese army was not afraid of death. Although countless Japanese soldiers fell in pieces under the intensive gunfire, their offensive swept over them like a wave.
Looking around, the entire hillside is full of yellow figures running forward.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japs' grenades began to exert force. They braved the hail of bullets and fired grenades from a distance of tens of meters. Sometimes they were killed before they even had time to fire.
But with such a desperate fighting style, several artillery shells fell into the first regiment's position, causing considerable losses to Zhang Lixian.
The Japanese took the opportunity to continue charging forward, and the machine gunners also set up their respective positions and began to shoot forward.
"Whoosh...poof!"
"ah!"
"Medic!"
Soldiers continued to fall down after being hit by bullets. Medical soldiers were busy running around the battlefield, doing simple bandages for each injured soldier, or carrying the seriously injured off the battlefield.
The battle became more and more intense, and there were more and more Japs in front of the position. Seeing that the time was almost up, Hong Mu immediately shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Heavy machine gun fire!"
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump...!"
More than a dozen M2 heavy machine guns burst out with blazing fire at various fire points, and the intertwined terrifying barrage blocked all corners in front of them!
"Puff puff……"
This unexpected wave of firepower immediately turned the Japanese in the front row into pieces of meat. As long as they were touched by 12.7 mm bullets, there would be no complete body.
The Japanese attack was contained. No one in the fastest squadron was alive, and the front of the position was filled with corpses with severed arms and legs.
But behind them, there were still countless Japanese soldiers charging forward one after another. The battle continued, with artillery fire roaring and gunpowder smoke filling the entire battlefield.
at this time! Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the sky, and three fighter planes were speeding in from a distance. If you look carefully, you will find that there are two huge aerial bombs hung on the belly of their planes.
"Enemy plane! Pay attention to concealment!"
Hong Mu yelled at the top of his lungs. He knew the Japanese tactics very well. He had suffered losses in the Songhu Battle and Fujin Mountain Battlefield before. Several times, the positions he originally defended had their doors opened by the Japs' planes.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"
The three Falcons roared down from the sky and rushed towards them. The machine guns on the planes opened fire first, and the bullets slid out on the ground like six snake-like barrages, covering the first regiment's position in an instant.
After a round of strafing, the three planes suddenly pulled up, but the aerial bombs under the belly of the plane were dropped.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Six 100-kilogram bombs exploded on the position, and the dust and bloody mud rose into the sky. The surrounding soldiers were killed and injured countless times, and blood and mutilated limbs were scattered on the ground.
Hong Mu staggered up from the ground. The deafening explosion made his ears temporarily deaf. He looked at the devastated battlefield but could not hear any sound.
There were soldiers dragging their stumps and broken arms around everywhere, screaming and wailing. There was also a soldier who was bombed with only half of his body left. The pair of unwilling eyes stared straight at him.
Hong Mu couldn't help but shuddered. He bit the tip of his tongue hard and used the pain to force himself to cheer up.
"Medical soldiers! Rescue the wounded and secure those who can move immediately!"
The uninjured soldiers around him immediately followed him and shot at the little Japanese outside the position. The Japanese army took advantage of this wave of air strikes and was almost in front of them!
Hong Mu ignored the pain in his body, pushed away the body lying on the heavy machine gun, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the Japanese soldiers in front.
"Thump thump thump thump!"
"Ah! Die to you beasts!"
…
At the same time, after the two escorting P40 fighters in the sky were shot down, six Falcons pounced on the B17 that was escaping to high altitude.
"Wesker! For God's sake, where are you!?" Anderson yelled at the walkie-talkie,
If he had the cover of an escort fighter plane, he would be able to do anything even if he faced the encirclement of several enemy planes. But if they were allowed to fight six Falcons alone, they would feel a little unsure.
But there was no reply from the other end of the walkie-talkie. It was very likely that they were also shot down by Japanese fighter planes.
"Shit!"
Seeing that the Japanese aircraft behind him were catching up, Anderson yelled angrily and leveled the aircraft.
No matter how hard he tried to escape, B17 couldn't fly like a flexible Falcon, so he might as well get into full swing and fight with those little dwarfs.
The reason why the B17 is called the Flying Fortress is that in addition to its rough skin and thick flesh, it is also equipped with 13 12.7 mm machine guns. Like a hedgehog, it is not a lamb to be slaughtered even without an escort formation.
There are machine gun firing positions on its back, tail, and both sides of the fuselage, and there is a semicircular twin machine gun turret on the belly.
"They're coming!"
The Japanese fighter planes flew in from behind. The first one to spot the enemy plane was the machine gunner at the tail. The distance of seven to eight hundred meters passed in an instant, and both sides had already entered each other's firing range.
"Boom boom boom boom boom...!" The machine gunner immediately opened fire first, and the two heavy machine guns at the rear sprayed out two fire snakes...
