Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, this is our loss for this week."
The chief of general staff handed the newly arrived loss report to the deputy commander-in-chief.
The deputy commander-in-chief took a look at the damage report, his expression trembling.
In front of them, the Japanese invaded with the help of planes, and the losses became a bit heavy. The casualties of the special forces students exceeded a hundred.
Although, as long as Zhou Weiguo is still there, the special forces can continue to train students.
But every student is a living life and a bloody Chinese.
"What's going on over there, Xiao Wu?" asked the deputy commander.
"We have already started placing bait," the Chief of General Staff replied. "If everything goes well, the Japanese plane will be attracted to it soon."
"Well, now everything depends on Xiao Wu." The deputy commander nodded, "Xiao Wu severely damaged the Japanese plane, and the troops that have been scheduled will attack immediately to consume as much ammunition as possible from the Japanese traitors and cooperate with the Jin army. Suijun.”
"Don't worry, I've given you all the instructions. Just wait for Xiao Wu to take down the Japs' plane." The chief of general staff nodded.
"Are the Taiyuan and Juntong sides ready?" the deputy commander asked again.
"Everything is ready. Let's see if Xiao Wu can succeed."
"Um."

World War II District Governor's Department
"Sir Yan, can the strategic experts of the 18th Group Army do it?"
The staff officer asked Lao Yan, "The Japanese army has marched deep into the mountains and is cutting through the mountains quickly. The Japanese planes are still circling over the mountains and have not been taken care of."
"Why are you so anxious?" Lao Yan pretended to be calm, "Hasn't his little devil not pushed the 18th Army to a corner yet? Let's wait a little longer."
On the surface, Lao Yan was very calm, but in fact he was panicking inside.
Once the Japanese army cuts through the mountains, the Eighteenth Army is split into dozens of small parts. It is not a problem for the Japanese ground troops to eat them with the cooperation of aircraft.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Eighteenth Group Army was not as good as that of the Jinsui Army, and they did not have the ability to fight the Japanese head-on.
Once the 18th Group Army is destroyed, it will definitely be the turn of the Jinsui Army.
In Lao Yan's heart, he was actually giving up.
I was thinking whether we should run away first while the Eighteenth Group Army is holding back the Japanese army.
But Lao Yan was unwilling to give in. The strategic master of the 18th Group Army was a master of miracles.
If he really packs up the Japs' plane and our troops escape, wouldn't this be a wasted opportunity? !
Moreover, he has to suffer eternal infamy!
"Sir Yan, there are officers below who are asking questions." The staff officer still said, "The troops are ready to evacuate. Are we..."
"Shut up!" Lao Yan interrupted the staff officer and said seriously, "Tell the officers below that anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Sir Yan..." The staff officer wanted to say something else.
Lao Yan interrupted again: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
What Lao Yan said he knew well was actually nonsense.
Let's wait and see for a few more days. If the Eighteenth Group Army is cut off and the Japanese planes are still there, then don't blame me, Yan Laoxi, for being unethical.
…
"General, a major discovery, a major discovery!"
A staff officer took the telegram he had just translated and handed it to Tojo Ichiro.
When Tojo Ichiro heard this, he quickly grabbed the telegram and looked down.
The telegram was sent by the aviation force. Their pilots found signs of a large number of Tuba Road activities in three places in the mountain. The pilots judged that those were most likely where the three main forces of the 18th Group Army were located.
"Miyano-kun, please take a look." Tojo Ichiro handed the telegram to Miyano Doichi and said with a smile: "The pilot has found the three main troops on the Tubal Road."
Michichi Miyano took a look at the telegram and found no doubt: "General, now our army is rapidly cutting deep into the mountains. The living space of the main force of the 18th Army has been reduced. It is not surprising that planes have discovered their traces. "
"Miyano-kun, our ground troops haven't gotten there yet. I intend to send aviation troops to bomb them indiscriminately to weaken and destroy their morale as much as possible. What do you think?" Ichiro Tojo asked on the surface. Miyano Michichi's opinion actually made this decision in his heart.
The 18th Army had no air defense units, so they discovered their main force and pressed all the planes on them to bomb them indiscriminately. This is what normal people would do.
"General, do you plan to send all the planes up, or keep some of them?" Miyano Michichi asked.
"Why do you want to stay?" Tojo Ichiro was confused.
"The Eighteenth Army robbed our military columns in the past and obtained thirty-six semi-finished 88s..." Miyano Michichi did not finish his words.
Tojo Ichiro interrupted: "Miyano-kun, haven't we analyzed it all? The 18th Army simply does not have enough military strength to turn these semi-finished anti-aircraft guns into combat effectiveness."
"General, be careful..." Miyano Michichi wanted to say something else.
Tojo Ichiro interrupted again: "What's the matter? If the Eighteenth Army can really restore the combat effectiveness of the semi-finished 88 anti-aircraft guns, then our planes are flying in the mountains every day these days. Why don't we see them hitting us with anti-aircraft guns? . Besides, you are not unaware of the cunningness of the 18th Group Army. It sends some planes to bomb, which will definitely disturb them, and they will definitely move. Only by pressing all the planes up and not giving them a chance to move can we do our best. Kill as many of them as possible."
After saying that, Tojo Ichiro turned to his staff and said: "Give the aviation unit power, fill all the planes with ammunition, then divide them into three batches, and bomb the three locations where the main forces of Tubal Road are located!"
"General, if we act together, it will take some time. There are still planes that have to return." The staff officer said.
"It doesn't matter, it's morning now, we still have plenty of time." Tojo Ichiro said, "The 18th Army is very cunning. If we send some planes to bomb first, if they are attacked, they will definitely move immediately and cannot give The opportunity they have to move will hit them hard.”
"Ha Yi." The staff officer went to deliver the order.
Facing Tojo Ichiro's order, Miyano Michichi said nothing more.
Perhaps, I am really too sensitive and suspicious.
The Eighteenth Group Army's arsenal was in shabby conditions and lacked the corresponding technology. It was absolutely impossible for them to be able to arm the semi-finished 88 anti-aircraft guns.
Even if they are armed, they don't know how to use them.

"Wu Ze, the intelligence officer reported that the dozen or so planes owned by the Japs have now returned to Taiyuan Airport." Someone came over to report to Wu Ze.
"Yes, I understand." Wu Ze nodded, "Tell the intelligence officer to pay close attention to the movements of Taiyuan Airport, how many Japanese planes are coming out, what formations are in the sky, how far apart each formation is, etc. , you need to understand everything and send it to me as soon as possible.”
"Yes." The person is here.
"Wu Ze, is the kid's plane trapped?" Zhang Jijun came over and asked.
"Gather all the artillery immediately." Wu Ze said sonorously.
"yes."
Soon, the artillery of seventy-two anti-aircraft artillery squads quickly gathered.
The reason why Wu Ze doubled the number of anti-aircraft gun teams was that the 18th Army had no shortage of men, and the other was to equip each anti-aircraft gun with one more team.
During a battle, if a squad is severely damaged but the anti-aircraft guns can still continue fighting, the replacement squad can quickly take over.
"Everyone, according to my judgment, the Japs' plane has been fooled. It won't be long before they take off from Taiyuan Airport fully loaded with ammunition. They will be attracted to the bait land in batches and fly over our heads. This is an excellent sneak attack opportunity for us!" Wu Ze said solemnly, "I know that you are all holding it in, and I am also holding it in. In recent days, the little Japanese planes have shit on our heads. Many of our brave comrades have fallen, but more comrades have set their sights on us, hoping that we can knock down the Japs' plane. Now, our opportunity has come, when the time comes, give me a hard blow Beat him up, you little devil, and see if he dares to lay eggs on our heads in the future!"
"It's great, I finally waited for this moment."
"The glory of our teaching team can finally be revived!"
"We are an anti-aircraft artillery unit. It is the most enjoyable to return to our old profession."
"The little Japanese planes are shitting on our heads, and now we can finally make them stop."
"I'll beat him until he doesn't dare to lay eggs on our heads again!"
…
The anti-aircraft artillerymen were all morale-boosted and couldn't wait.
Wu Ze stretched out his hand to suppress the cheers of the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers, and said seriously again: "Everyone, this is the first battle of our anti-aircraft artillery unit, and it is also the first actual combat. As expected, I will divide the Japs' fleet into three groups. , that is to say, we will fight three times, and the ratio of each battle is almost one to one. Calculating, in each battle, each of your anti-aircraft guns only needs to shoot down one Japanese aircraft. But the account cannot be like this After all, the pilots of the little devils are not vegetarians. Some of you must have learned it personally during the Battle of Fanglu. Therefore, each of you must not underestimate the enemy. We only have thirty-six anti-aircraft guns. Destroying one means losing one. We cannot afford to fight a war of attrition, so we must not give the little Japanese planes any room to fight back. After you destroy your target on the battlefield, don't slack off or hesitate, and quickly turn your guns around. Search and lock new aircraft at the mouth, and help your comrades to fight other aircraft until all the aircraft in the sky are wiped out."
As soon as Wu Ze finished speaking, the air defense artillerymen roared again:
"Don't worry, we won't give the Japanese planes a chance to counterattack!"
"These days, the Japs' planes are becoming more and more arrogant and flying lower and lower. Today they flew over, and their altitude must be very arrogant. We are one against one, and we still have a sneak attack. If we still can't win, we will all be ashamed. To this military uniform!"
"That's right, the little devil's plane is not very high, and we still have the chance to make a sneak attack. If they are all defeated, we will have nothing to say no matter how others call the teaching corps a waste!"
"Go ahead and shoot down all the little devil's planes!"
…
Wu Ze once again asked the air defense soldiers to calm down and wasted no time: "Everyone, the little devil's plane will take off from Taiyuan Airport soon. You should return to your respective combat positions immediately and be ready for battle."
"Yes." The anti-aircraft artillerymen quickly dispersed and returned to their respective positions.
After the anti-aircraft artillery dispersed, Wu Ze once again set his sights on the map.
The place where the anti-aircraft artillery ambush was carefully selected by Wu Ze.
Three decoys will inevitably divide the Japanese planes into three batches. When these three batches of Japanese planes fly to the three decoy places, they will all pass by the ambush site.
Although the ambush site is protected by mountains, the three batches of aircraft will certainly not be too far apart.
In other words, whether it is the first sneak attack or the second sneak attack, the battle must be resolved as quickly as possible. The sooner the battle is over, the better.
In this way, later batches of Japanese aircraft will not be alerted in advance if they do not discover the problem in time.
Wu Ze checked it again and found no problems, then called someone: "Go tell Lao Li and Lao Kong that you can let off the cigarettes as planned."
Although there are mountains for cover, if the Japanese plane is shot down, there will be thick smoke.
When the time comes, the thick smoke in the sky will be seen by the following batches of Japanese planes, and they will be alert.
Therefore, Wu Ze set off smoke on the other side of the mountain to obscure the sight of the following batch of Japanese planes.
At that time, the later batches of Japanese fighter planes will not be able to see the smoke scene of the previous batch of planes crashing, so they will not be alert.
Furthermore, this smoke also has the effect of hindering subsequent batches of aircraft.
The next batch of planes flew through the thick smoke and flew out of the thick smoke. As soon as their sight was restored, they were faced with a sneak attack from the 88 anti-aircraft gun.
At this time, no matter how superb the Japs pilots' flying skills were, even if their Amaterasu possessed them immediately, they would still be unable to react in time.
"Yes." The person came immediately.
After receiving Wu Ze's order, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie immediately ordered people to set off smoke.
The bonfire that had been prepared early was lit, and a large number of wet branches and leaves were covered on the bonfire. In an instant, the billowing smoke quickly rose, obscuring the view of the sky.
Taiyuan Airport
call!
call!
call!
…
Under Tojo Ichiro's order, Japanese planes quickly took off from the airport, as fast as lightning.
Since the bombing must be unified, the aircraft in the three formations must also act in a unified manner.
The plane that takes off first should hover and wait for the plane behind to take off, and then move together.
Therefore, there is a certain amount of time between the three batches of aircraft.
This certain period of time resulted in the distance between the three batches of aircraft being lengthened.
Witnessing the formation of the last batch of aircraft flying away, the Eighth Route Scouts quickly sent the information to Wu Ze.
Wu Ze received the information and drew the formations of the Japanese aircraft in the three formations on paper as quickly as possible.
The first batch includes 30 aircraft.
The second batch includes 32 aircraft.
The third batch includes 38 aircraft.
In total, there were exactly one hundred aircraft, and Tojo Ichiro really used all the aircraft.
Wu Ze quickly marked on the paper the targets that each of the thirty-six anti-aircraft guns should hit according to the number of aircraft in the three batches and the corresponding formations.
This is a tactic that must be done in advance, so that each anti-aircraft gun can know its target in advance, and then each can lock in a sneak attack.
Otherwise, the thirty-six anti-aircraft guns swarming in search of targets would be a ragtag group of people.
There will definitely be chaos by then, and even give the Japanese pilots a chance to counterattack.
Wu Ze quickly laid out the tactics, and after having people copy them quickly, he quickly distributed them to the teams of each anti-aircraft gun.
The anti-aircraft artillery team obtained their respective targets, quickly adjusted the anti-aircraft muzzles in advance according to the position, judged and measured the data in advance according to the altitude of the Japanese aircraft, and waited for the Japanese aircraft to arrive at their door.
