On the Jaap's position, Captain Shimogawa Shigeya, Lieutenant Commander, also saw a group of planes coming from the sky, and was immediately surprised.
Unlike Yang Yuanshan and others who could not recognize the models of these aircraft, he could tell at a glance that this was the Type 97 light explosive attack aircraft of the Locust Army Army Aviation Corps.
Although this kind of bomber has a bomb load of only 400 kilograms, 9 of them are now dispatched at once, which is quite a terrifying force!
He quickly shouted loudly:
"Locust Army Warriors, the aviation force is here to support us!
Keep holding on, Tubal Road will be over soon! "
Hearing his words, the morale of those little Japs who had been suppressed by the gunfire of the secret service camp suddenly increased. They all felt that the defeat of Tubal Road was imminent, and that they would be rewarded for their meritorious service, just around the corner.
In addition, Wang Gensheng's artillery stopped firing, and more than half of the shrapnel flying in all directions was reduced. The little Japanese suddenly had a much more steady hand when shooting. Their already accurate marksmanship made them more accurate.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the second company felt tremendous pressure.
As a veteran of the battlefield, Shimokawa Seiya keenly felt the changes in the battlefield situation and was immediately ecstatic.
shouted:
"Takeda-kun, hurry up, lead your squadron, rush to the position on Tubal Road, and seize the commanding heights!"
Upon hearing his words, a captain officer not far away ran over immediately and answered with a sad face:
"Your Excellency, Captain, my squadron currently only has one squad left!
I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task! "
This person is Captain Keita Takeda, the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of Shimokawa Seiya's 1st Battalion.
Normally, there are 180 people in a squadron of little devils, but now they are attacked in turn by the soldiers of the special agent battalion, and they have already suffered heavy casualties.
The unlucky guy Takeda Keita is particularly miserable. There are only more than 50 men left, which is already two-thirds of the casualties.
Now that his people can continue to fight, it has highlighted that this guy is running an army well.
Otherwise, Shimokawa Chengya would not have thought of letting him lead people to charge.
Hearing his words, Shimogawa Seiya felt angry, but he saw that this guy's face was cut open by shrapnel, and his skin and flesh were turned out, making him look very ferocious.
I still had a lot of affection for him, thinking: This guy is a tough guy!
Worth reusing!
He immediately said:
"I will immediately add a squadron of troops to you. Are you confident that you can complete the mission?"
"Hey, I promise to complete the mission!"
Takeda Keita nodded immediately.
He was a professional soldier. Although he knew that the trip was very dangerous, he still chose to obey the order.
The war was in full swing, and Shimokawa Seiya wasted no time. He immediately sent out messengers and rushed around the battlefield. It took a few minutes to summon a squadron of troops and gathered them next to an overturned armored train.
"Takeda-kun, the glory of my first battalion depends on you.
Only by capturing the Tubal Road position can we turn defeat into victory! "
Shimokawa Chengya said to Takeda Keita expectantly.
"Don't worry, Captain, even if the whole army is shattered, I will still capture the Tubal Road position!"
Takeda Keita assured him by patting his chest.
Then with a wave of his hand, he led more than a hundred people and rushed toward the Second Company's position.
…
At this time, the nine bombers of the Little Devil also flew close.
Captain Takeuchi Tsuyoshi, the leader of the Little Japanese Squadron, couldn't help but be very angry when he saw that on the ground battlefield ahead, the Eighth Route Army had set up two positions to attack the Locust Army's armored train on the railway.
Immediately ordered on the radio intercom:
"The three bombers at the rear will bomb the position on the right side of Tubal Road, and the other bombers will follow me to bomb the position on the left side of Tubal Road!"
Following his order, the nine bombers immediately divided into two groups. One group of six bombers flew towards the second company's position, while the other three flew towards the third company's position.
The three bombers flying towards the position of the third company were surprised when they saw seven or eight giant cannons firing huge shells on the Tubal Road position in front.
One pilot couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Nani? Tubal Road actually has such a large-caliber artillery?"
"Katsuyama-kun, let's drop the bomb quickly!"
Another gunner in his plane shouted while operating his heavy machine gun and firing downwards.
"吆西! I know! Tubalu, go to hell!"
Pilot Yoshihuai Katsuyama immediately pressed the bomb release button, and the two aerial bombs in the cabin were immediately thrown downward.
It's just that this one's accuracy is a bit off.
The bomb fell and exploded seven or eight hundred meters away from the third company position, making a loud noise.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
"Katsuyama-san, it's too late!
You'd better dive and drop bombs!
Try to blow up the artillery positions on Tubal Road. It's incredible that they actually have such a huge cannon! "
When the machine gunner saw what this guy had just dropped, he was speechless.
Katsuyama Yoshihuai also saw that the bomb he had just dropped was unreliable, and his face suddenly turned red. He happened to be flying in front of the third company's position. He immediately pushed the control stick, and the bomber dived, plummeting in height, and then opened the ammunition bay door. Opening it, four 60-kilogram aerial bombs fell towards the third company's heartless artillery position.
On the battlefield, Wang Quanfa, who was in charge of the command, saw the little Japanese dropping the bomb and immediately shouted:
"Thunder Gunner, retreat!
The little devils bombed! "
In fact, the gunners were already retreating.
They had just launched the last explosive packets.
Now those gasoline barrels have lost their shells and have become decorations.
Li Dahe next to him saw the power of the two ridiculously far away aerial bombs, and immediately shouted crazily at the other soldiers on the position:
"Comrades, get into the bomb shelter quickly, the Japs are bombing!"
Following the shouts of the two of them, the soldiers of the third company who were still shooting wildly at the little Japanese at the bottom of the mountain all headed towards the anti-gun holes in the trenches.
Almost at the moment when the four aerial bombs landed and exploded, no more soldiers could be seen on the third company's position.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Four huge explosions in a row enveloped the entire battlefield.
The heartless cannons of the third company were all blown to pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.
Rubbles, clods of soil, shrapnel, and all kinds of random fragments swept across everything.
Naturally, there are also a lot of broken limbs and blood mixed in!
That was the result of an aerial bomb falling right near the bombhole where the soldiers were hiding.
Although the anti-blast hole can effectively prevent explosion damage, it is still powerless in the face of such a huge 60 kilogram aircraft bomb!
Although many soldiers were not directly killed by shrapnel, their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave of the explosion and they vomited blood and died.
Fortunately, they were pretty lucky. Only two of the four bombs landed on their position, and the other two bombed directly on the hillside. Instead, they destroyed a lot of rocks, and the rocks rolled down the hillside. , and also killed five or six little Japs.
This caused many little devils to point their fingers at the sky and curse:
"idiot!
You bastards have blown up your own people! "
As Katsuyama Yoshihuai took the lead in dropping bombs, the two bombers behind him also followed closely and dropped the 6 aerial bombs they carried.
They didn't have an obvious bombing target like Katsuyama Yihuai just now, so they could only throw part of the bomb into the trench area with obvious ravines, and part of it into the artillery position, causing several infantry cannons to fly into the air more than ten meters high, and then It rolled down the hillside and killed several more little devils who were unable to dodge.
After dropping the bombs, the three bombers did not return immediately. Instead, they circled around and flew back again. They continued to shoot at the position of the third company with the heavy machine guns equipped on the planes, trying to dump all the ammunition they carried. Light.
Seeing how arrogant the little Japanese planes were, the soldiers of the third company were all furious. If Li Dahe had not strictly ordered everyone to take the lead, the soldiers would have wanted to rush out of the bomb hole and fight these bastards to the death with their rifles.
The little Japs at the foot of the hillside suddenly felt ecstatic when they saw that the Third Company Position was completely silent and there was no trace of Tubal Road activities anymore.
Shimokawa Seiya quickly shouted to Takeda Keita, who had just led his men to rush to the second company's position:
"Takeda-kun, adjust the direction of attack! Occupy this position!"
After hearing such an outrageous order, Takeda Keita almost went crazy and thought to himself: What kind of occasion is this?
In the middle of a fierce battle!
How can your military orders be changed every day?
However, his habitual obedience from many years in the army still made him stop immediately and order the more than a hundred improvised ragtag men under his command:
"Gentlemen, Your Majesty the Captain ordered us to seize another position!
Come on, turn around! "
When these little devils who were charging in the rain of bullets heard this order, their eyes almost popped out. They wanted to kill the bastard in front of them with one shot!
Everyone thinks: Bagh Ya Road!
You bastard, can't you see that we are being attacked by Tubalu?
If we turn around now, wouldn't the sacrifice of the warriors who just fell on the charge have been in vain?
The great cause of the Locust Army has been destroyed in the hands of useless officers like you!
However, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one raised a voice to object. Instead, they all stopped and turned around, running towards the third company's position.
However, this strange operation of theirs naturally resulted in many people being killed by the soldiers of the Second Company.
The soldiers of the Second Company who saw this scene all murmured in their hearts, thinking: What are you kiddos doing?
How could anyone charge half way and then retreat?
This is too stupid!
Don't you know there is an old saying: There is no turning back when the bow is drawn?
