Rise from the sword

Chapter 507 The labor and management haven't fired yet, so the devil is gone? !
"This time, our opponent is very strong."

Under the arrangement of Yoshio Shinozuka, before the Taiyuan attacking force had three infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment, the four regiment captains met for a combat meeting.

The first to speak was Captain Yoshino.

Because of his 'rich experience', Yoshio Shinozuka was appointed as the front line coordinator.

"Even though Li Yunlong used more than [-] troops to attack Ping'an County, his troops in Heyuan County are still very strong. On paper, our four regiments may not have the advantage."

Yoshino continues to hit his morale.

The other three regiment captains, including the Kwantung Army Colonel Kasai who had been beaten by the Soviet Army at Nuomenkan, also nodded in agreement, without the slightest aura that the Imperial Japanese Army should have.

It is not a fool to be a commander, and to become a powerful commander who leads an alliance.

It has been more than four years since Li Yunlong became famous. Starting from Sakata, in the past four years, there are not many imperial alliance captains who have died in this person's hands.

Under the full pressure of the First Army, it has grown from a regiment to tens of thousands of horses, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of artillery pieces of more than [-] calibers.

If they still foolishly think that this person's ability to jump up to the present is due to the waste of other imperial officers, as long as they go by themselves and defeat Li Yunlong in minutes, then they are too stupid.

"Then what should we do?"

Kasai from the Kwantung Army asked.

Nuomenkan's combat experience back then, although he had some success due to luck, the entire imperial army suffered a disastrous defeat, which is still fresh in his memory.

Under the offensive of tanks, artillery, and even aircraft, which had an absolute advantage in the Soviet army, they were not only inferior in quantity, but also inferior in quality. The imperial army suffered consecutive defeats and suffered heavy casualties.

According to the information on paper, the independent regiment he was going to deal with next had equipment that had reached the size of the Soviet army back then.

He couldn't help but not take it seriously.

Fortunately, the advantages of equipment also need people to play. The Tuba Road in front of us was a group of farmers before, and there must be no elite Soviet army.

"Scatter the heavy artillery brigade to each infantry regiment, and we will attack along the road in three ways to give full play to our strength."

Yoshino gritted his teeth and said his decision, of course it was Yoshio Shinozuka's decision.

Now, their only advantage is their strength.

The three wings, plus the heavy artillery wing, have about 5000 troops.

According to intelligence analysis, Li Yunlong has about 5 people, of which 1 stayed in the base area, more than 3 attacked Yamamoto's troops in Ping'an County, and definitely no more than 1 stayed in Heyuan County.

"Ah."

The other three captains nodded.

"in addition."

Yoshino Dazuo paused, and continued:

"This time, the North China Front will be divided into two teams. One team will bomb the industrial zone in Heyuan County, and the other team will attack the artillery unit of the Independent Regiment. We can take advantage of this opportunity."

After discussing the tactics, the heavy artillery unit was dismantled, joined a unit to become a heavy artillery brigade, and then divided into three groups to attack Heyuan County.

······
the other side.

On the highway from Yu County to Ping'an County and Pan County, after one night's journey, the first battalion successfully arrived at Tieshiling, and the second battalion successfully arrived at Luojiaya, and easily wiped out only one small team of devil defenders in the two places.

Then Zhang Dabiao and the second battalion commander Luo Er ignored the exhaustion of the troops and immediately organized manpower to build fortifications and build positions to prepare for the response.In order to speed up, he went into battle himself.

Both of them knew very well that the battle ahead would be tough.

It can be called the toughest battle of the year.

The soldiers also knew it well, so no one rested, and they all went into battle, digging their positions with all their strength.

An hour later, the soldier in charge of the guard's investigation sent news that the devil had arrived.

"A devil brigade, about 1000 people, rushed along the road and is expected to arrive in half an hour."

"Send a report to the flight team."

Zhang Dabiao of the first battalion in Tieshiling and Luo Er, commander of the second battalion in Luojiaya, issued the same order at the same time.

This time, the troops had air support.

"Ready to fight."

Afterwards, the two battalion commanders immediately deployed troops, part of which was ready to stop the devils of this brigade, and the rest continued to build fortification bunkers.

at the same time.

Heyuan County Airport.

Huang Quan, who had just received the news from the frontline, asked quickly:
"What is the size of the enemy and what is the equipment?"

The independent regiment's aviation arsenal is very sufficient, with all kinds of explosives, including standard aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, and anti-infantry bombs, etc. He needs to formulate ammunition hangers according to the size, number and equipment of the enemy. load.

"The devils in the two positions, each with a brigade of a thousand people, are lightly armed, without tanks and armored vehicles."

The intelligence staff responded quickly.

"Hangar No. [-]."

Huang Quan quickly ordered.

In order to hurry up and support the front line in time, he prepared three crews, all loaded with explosives, some with incendiary bombs, some with ordinary bombs, and some with anti-infantry bombs.The fuel is also installed and ready to take off at any time.

Then six attack aircraft pilots rushed to the corresponding hangar, 3 minutes later.

Six attack planes loaded with three tons of ammunition took off and flew to the positions of the first and second battalions, which are only more than 100 kilometers away from the airport.

The speed of a fully loaded attack aircraft is only more than 200 kilometers per hour, but it only takes half an hour to reach the front-line position, and at this time, the Devils Brigade arrived at the scheduled attack position.

"Report to Colonel."

"The attack is ready."

Tieshiling, two kilometers in front of the first battalion's position, a thousand-man brigade of devils has been assembled, and the two mountain cannons they carry have also been deployed, and two infantry squadrons ready to attack have begun to prepare.

"Yo Xi."

The devil captain nodded:

"Let's attack."

There is a thousand-man brigade under his command, so he must be a senior brigade captain in Ping'an County, and he naturally knows that the enemy in front of him is an independent regiment with fierce firepower.

But the captain is also clear.

This time, the gang in front of them is going deep alone, without a logistics supply transport team, and can only rely on the ammunition they carry. They don't need to face the dense shells that hardly need to be resupplied.

Without the terrifying firepower that makes people desperate, the captain is very confident.

It took less than an hour for this group of Tuba Road to arrive. In such a short time, it is impossible to build a solid fortification, and even the basic circular fortifications have not been dug out. Small.

And there are six other brigades that will arrive soon.

"Damn it."

In the distance, on the Tieshiling position, Zhang Dabiao cursed as he watched the hundreds of devils gradually approaching in front of him.

In the past, this kind of devil team of hundreds of people could easily fight back with a few bursts of battalion artillery.

But not this time.

Excluding the necessary supplies for heavy equipment, including five large-caliber heavy machine guns, each with 82 rounds of ammunition, six 120mm mortars, two 18mm mortars, some medicines, etc.This time, the first battalion only carried [-] tons of shells, which translates to only three bases for each gun.

The number of shells is seriously insufficient.

So I can't let go of my hands and feet to fight like before, I can only wait for the devils to get close before fighting.

As for air supplies, the terrain here is complicated and the surrounding area is mountainous, making airdrops very difficult, dangerous to the pilot, and easy to waste. He will not apply for airdrops unless it is absolutely necessary.

At this moment, the roar of the plane came from the sky.

"The plane is coming!"

Zhang Dabiao looked up happily, and saw three planes flying from the direction of Heyuan County.

"Announce the enemy's position and fire a flare to indicate the location."

Zhang Dabiao ordered quickly.

On the ground, the radio operators of the first battalion communicated with the air fighters, and at the same time, several signal flares flew towards the devil formation.

After receiving the news from the ground and distinguishing the position of the enemy and ourselves, Huang Quan personally led the team and began to dive:
"The No. [-] machine circles to support, and the No. [-] machine will attack with me."

"idiot."

Zhang Dabiao was very happy when he saw the plane, but the devil was not happy, and the captain immediately cursed at him.

But in the face of the enemy planes that began to dive at a low angle, he could only order the attacking troops to hide, but he was relieved to see the attack planes flying almost parallel.

The accuracy of such parallel bombing is not very high, and the troops should not suffer too much loss.

As soon as the thought came to him, he saw that the three planes started dropping bombs at an altitude of 400 meters, and the bombs fell like eggs. Amidst the sharp sound, the bombs exploded in the air before they hit the ground.

The location is about ten meters above the ground.

Accompanied by the explosion and gunpowder smoke, the captain of the ghost team found that the screams of the imperial soldiers hidden on the ground continued one after another, and a series of dust and a large bloodstain appeared on the ground.

"Nani..."

This scene immediately made his eyes widen.

"This bomb is really enjoyable."

Seeing the miserable situation of the devils on the ground, Huang Quan let out a loud roar to vent his excitement.

Timed fuze, steel ball anti-infantry bombs, ranging from 250 kg to 400 kg, thrown at a height of [-] meters, each bomb has at least [-] steel ball fragments, which is extremely lethal to infantry.

An attack plane can carry at least fifteen bombs. This time, he brought five 150kg bombs, five 250kg bombs, and five [-]kg bombs.

It can be called washing the ground.

"No. [-] and No. [-] planes return, and No. [-] planes continue to circle."

After throwing three tons of explosives, Huang Quan shook his wings and licked the devil's position with a 30mm cannon a few times before flying back.

At this time, the devil brigade on the ground was already miserable. Because they were not familiar with this attack mode, the two attacking squadrons suffered heavy losses, with more than one-third of the casualties. Offensive ability.

The devil captain had to order the troops to stop the attack.

In the distance, Zhang Dabiao was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He knew it would be exciting to have aircraft support, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.

"The labor and management haven't fired yet, so the devil is gone?!"
.
He immediately cursed.

At the same time, Luojiaya's side was also in the same situation. Faced with air support, the devils who were caught off guard were directly blown back.

　Fighting is really not good at writing...
