The thick smoke on the battlefield did have an effect. It almost made the pilots think that there was a big battle. The reconnaissance plane received the telegram from Ji Yang and was hovering in the sky to decode the code.
Finally I found out that Tuba Road was deliberately setting fire to make smoke.
There are eight roads all over the open ground seven or eight miles in front of the attack position, and the one to the east is the besieging imperial army.
This bombing must have killed a lot of people, but it also temporarily suppressed the imperial army to the edge of the battlefield and was unable to advance.
The reconnaissance plane quickly found the plane of the attacking bomber squadron leader, but now that the aviation attack had begun, the squadron leader had no intention of giving up. Although his squadron only had ten aircraft, not to mention that the national army almost had no air force, let alone the Turkish army. Eight ways!
Tubal Road didn't even have anti-aircraft guns, and they didn't even dare to fire machine guns in the air! The troops on the ground also have a numerical advantage!
After the squadron leader dived back and forth several times, he began to bombard the depths where thick smoke was still emitting.
Although I know that this will not produce much results, it can at least destroy the simple defenses dug by Bapa.
He had no intention of waiting. The people in the Army Department were really embarrassed by the imperial soldiers. They still let the imperial elite take action with these lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The people in the headquarters were completely confused.
Continuous explosions appeared in the escaping group of the Eighth Route Army. Finally, they discovered that the reconnaissance plane was circling. The squadron leader was stunned for a while before he remembered that the Tubal Road Group was escaping in the briefing before departure, so they should strike again at the vanguard of their escape. That's right.
Watching the planes hovering at high altitude, the ground was filled with smoke after the bombing. The broken limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere on the ground reflected the blood-red eyes of the soldiers.
The battalion commander ignored his sorrow: "Immediately set up a position along the road. Those Japanese engineers who are filling the road, and those who come from the soil, don't worry about it for now! They can't hurry up!"
The Japs were not stupid either. The armored vehicles simply stopped moving forward. Two light tanks drove directly into the field, followed by a large group of Japs, immediately overturning the battalion commander's wishful thinking.
The battalion commander reloaded the rifle in his hand: "What are you looking at? Let me keep firing the machine gun! The others will let the Japanese get closer before firing!"
Also because of the bombing of the Japanese planes and the strafing by fighter jets, more than a hundred soldiers fell to the ground, and the smoke was still filling the air. The Japanese attack speed was not fast. The distance was 200 meters, and the shell gun was just a decoration, useless.
The Japanese still used their old tactics, with mortars blasting first, grenades firing machine guns, and infantry following up behind the tanks to crush them.
It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army did not fight the Japanese. They retreated while fighting. The roads on the ground were full of pits that could trap the cavalry. The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel was so angry that his nose was crooked: The Eighth Route Army was so cunning and more difficult to deal with than the national army!
Because once the national army retreats, the most important characteristic is to escape, but the Tubal Road is fighting and running. If they deliberately launch a group of charges, the Tubal Road will retreat. The fields are full of dug trenches. The trenches are not like trenches, and the roads are There are also landmines buried on it!
This battle made him furious. Fortunately, the blocking line on the east side had been completed, and Tubal Road was now unable to fly!
Want to run from both wings? Can you outrun the cavalry? Even if the horse's hoof is broken in half, this group of Tuba Road who have finally gathered together will be completely wiped out.
There were no more Japanese plane bombings or plane strafing. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and the sound of gunfire seemed distant.
The flames of the Japanese machine guns began to fire back at the eight-way blocking position, and more than a dozen machine gun trajectories kept passing through the open space.
The bullet passed through the smoke and rolled up obvious trajectories.
The machine gunner aimed at a continuous shooting position outside the smoke based on his feeling, pulled the trigger, and after two three-point shots, he quickly changed positions. The ballistic trajectory of the machine gun on the opposite side paused, and then started firing again a few seconds later. All the bullets hit the machine gunner just now. The shooting position.
Dense bullets rained down on the ground around the formation, making a popping sound.
The machine gunner leaned out next to the original position, shook the machine gun tripod, fired two more times, and quickly moved the position with the ammunition man again. There was a whistling sound, and several grenades landed at the shooting position with a loud bang. Mud splashed everywhere shrouded the machine gunner in the smoke not far away.
The Japanese had more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, mortar grenades rolled into battle, and the roar of tanks was getting closer and closer.
The battalion commander did not dare to fight, and ordered again: "Immediately fire the rifle at the side of the Japanese tank, hit the Japanese rifle, empty the barrel and retreat immediately!"
"..."
"Can't you see? It's weird if you can see it. Just fight if you are told. There are so many useless people."
After a volley of gunfire, the Eighth Route Army left the remains of soldiers on the ground and ran away again.
...
The maintenance soldier was trembling in his heart. The security force who had done a good job never expected to become a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army. He had to stand out in front of him!
I don't know how to play this Iron Bastard at all. There is at least a large group of Japs in front of me, and it is said that there are even more behind!
However, this was the first time he had launched an attack against the Japanese since he joined the army, and it was a pity that he could not brag to his brothers in the national army who often laughed at him in the past.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army was far behind the National Army. However, when facing the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army not only did not escape, but also attacked, and the remaining trace of bloodiness was slowly ignited.
I'm not going to die alone. I'm not a car repairman. Now I'm driving an armored car and dying on the way to attack. Why don't I blind those idiots who look down on me? I wonder if this armored vehicle will go down there with me after death. What if the brothers down there don’t believe it?
The narrow observation opening made him very uncomfortable. As the blood rushed to his head, his trembling feet slowly stopped shaking. Hearing the bullets hitting the front armor, the Japanese position finally opened fire. However, It seems like nothing happened?
The buzzing sound of the armored vehicle being hit by stray bullets from time to time was mixed with the roar of the engine. Monkey felt very helpless. Because of his small size, he was named by Hu Yi as the machine gunner of the armored vehicle. This was not the first time he came here to see the Japanese Iron Bastard, the National Army. Armored vehicles are ugly and comfortable than this, at least they have much more space.
You can't see anything from this damn observation hole, and the heavy machine gun has to be carried on your shoulders to move up and down!
When he got into this airtight iron stove on a hot day, he was already soaked to the skin. The steel plate next to him was even hotter. The wheels bumped violently on the uneven dirt road. So far, he had not fired a single shot.
Armored vehicles are the best cover behind the offensive steps. Unfortunately, there are too many Japs on the opposite side. It is a dream to deal with the Japs cavalry brigade with just one armored vehicle!
The cavalry major was a little confused. The armored vehicle that suddenly emerged from the smoke made him startled. If the armored vehicle hadn't emerged from the gap in the Eighth Route Cavalry team, he would have thought that the pursuing imperial army had broken through. The eight-way team.
When he saw the neat imperial soldiers behind the armored vehicles, he was confused again.
Quickly let the two crooked handles fire as a warning. Are those cavalry also the imperial army?
But they were clearly attacking the imperial army. They were stunned for a while, then turned around and shouted: "Call the second lieutenant from Huaxian County over here immediately!"
Until a circling plane appeared in the sky, Major saw most of his men working in only white shirts because they were afraid of soiling their uniforms when digging trenches, and his heart sank!
His guts were filled with smoke: "Everyone put on military uniforms immediately!"
The sound was inaudible amid the sound of machine gun fire.
"Report, all military divisions have been searched, and there are only three chemical bombs and eleven smoke bombs!" the logistics director reported to the commander in the trench holding a telescope.
"I want you to be sent to the artillery platoon of the Independent Regiment immediately. Can't you understand my order? Why don't you come and report to me?" the division commander turned around and became furious.
"Report to the commander, it has been sent over! We are waiting for your order to fire!"
"I'm waiting for your mother's orders? You can't let them decide on their own! Do you want me to order everything? The Japanese planes are overhead... I will withdraw you after this battle..." The commander is the commander after all. , finally resisted the urge to kick a logistics director to the Japanese position.
"You are making a mistake by doing this. You cannot use this batch of ammunition casually without approval from your superiors..." The three divisional logistics soldiers who were tied up and thrown aside struggled desperately.
"Stop their mouths!" A soldier from the Eighth Route Army, who was playing with a mortar and whose face looked like it was burned by fire, ordered to the soldiers next to him...
