The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 644 The Fierce Fight
Eighteen planes circled back and forth over the entire battlefield.

Among them, four Japanese flying squadrons and twelve aircraft were mainly responsible for assisting the Japanese and puppet troops in combat and blocking the pursuing Eighth Route Army troops.

The other two flying teams continued to search south of Taihang, trying to find the hidden Eighth Route Army artillery unit and destroy it in one fell swoop, so as to complete the mission specially assigned by Yoshio Shinozuka.

The devil's fighter jets and bombers did show off their prestige.

A large number of bombs were dropped directly on the camp of the pursuing soldiers.

The military cadres of the independent regiment who led the pursuit had no choice but to issue a covert order, and ordered the pursuit troops to disperse and hide in the mountains and forests to prevent the devil's bombs from concentrating on killing.

The rapidly dispersed Eighth Route Army minimized the bombing effect of the Devil planes.

The main bombing method of the Devil bomber is horizontal bombing.

That is to project multiple missiles to the ground at high altitude to form a dense attack.

But in terms of air force strength, it can be said to be a weak little devil compared to Western forces.

The technical level of bomber bombing is really not flattering.

It is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of bombing when dropping bombs at high altitude.

In many cases, the Devil bombers dropped a dozen bombs at a time.

But if you are lucky, there will be one or two that actually hit the target. If you are unlucky, it is like setting off free fireworks for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, when dealing with the Eighth Route Army troops, although the devil's plane is an invincible trump card.

But relying solely on this trump card, it is impossible to directly win a battle.

The final confrontation between the two sides is still on the ground.

The only thing the devil's flying team can do is to block the pace of the pursuing Eighth Route Army and buy more time for the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The area south of the Taihang Mountains.

Several Japanese fighter jets that undertook the reconnaissance mission were scattered and circled back and forth in the Taihang Mountains.

The devil pilots tried to find the hidden Eighth Route Army artillery unit that Commander Shinozuka Yoshio said.

What they received was Yoshio Shinozuka's death order.

The artillery units of the Eighth Route must be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Without throwing shells in, emptying the bullets, and running out of fuel, these fighter jets will not evacuate easily.

In order to detect the targets on the ground more clearly, the two Devil fighters even kept low-altitude reconnaissance.

The plane roared overhead for a while.

Finally, a sharp-eyed devil pilot found an area under a certain mountainside that looked like an artillery position.

The young devil was so excited at that time!

He quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie equipped with the Air Force No. [-] radio communication system on the plane, and shouted: "I found the enemy artillery position! I found the artillery position!"

As a result, no one cared about him at all, and the outgoing communication was even more like a muddlehead.

"Baga, stupid Air One!"

The little devil cursed angrily, smashed the walkie-talkie on the fuselage, and then played with the most primitive communication method, waving his hands continuously, conveying communication messages with gestures.

Gesture communication is not enough, and a large writing board can also transmit information. If it is not possible, simply fire a signal gun.

After a lot of tossing, the devils in the two devil flying teams, a total of six planes, finally received the communication signal.

Two Devil fighter jets approached the fake artillery positions first, and fired a few shots at the fake artillery positions with their loaded [-]mm aviation cannons.

The shell exploded not far from the fake artillery position, but unfortunately missed the target.

The other four Devil bombers also quickly entered the battle, roaring towards the sky above the fake artillery positions.

boom -

The bombs dropped by the Devil bombers exploded in the area of ​​​​the fake artillery positions, and some of the wooden fake artillery hidden under the green leaves of the trees were blown to pieces.

"Yangxi!"

The little devils on the plane were very happy.

But they didn't notice at all that the fake cannons made of wood were completely different from the heavy cannons after they were blown away by the shock wave due to their weight.

The devils were about to make up for another bombardment to completely destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

A bang sounded from the forest.

Wang Chengzhu issued a signal for air combat.

Considering that there are not many Japanese aircraft circling in the sky, they are not the main force of the Devils Flying Squadron.

Wang Chengzhu only fired one shot, and gave the order to expose [-]% of the anti-aircraft firepower.

The soldiers who had long been lurking in the woods on the mountainside around the fake artillery position quickly opened fire on the several Devil bombers roaring in mid-air.

The [-]mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun plus the anti-aircraft machine gun with a triangular swivel frame is a sharp weapon against aircraft.

In addition, four Devil bombers swooped down, ready to blow up the fake artillery position in one fell swoop.

The anti-aircraft fire of the artillery battalion successfully shot down a Japanese bomber.

This sudden blow startled the Devil pilots, and several other planes whizzed by.

The hastily dropped bombs never hit the target of the fake artillery positions.

Due to the counterattack of the artillery battalion, although the Devil pilots were a little flustered, they were also sure that the Eighth Route Army's hidden artillery position must be below.

Otherwise, how could these eight routes hide air defense forces here?
A devil commander fired a signal gun into the air, summoning several other flying squadrons who were blocking the Eighth Route Army's pursuit in other areas.

Soon, another six devil planes roared towards the area south of Taihang.

The little devils still aimed at the fake artillery positions.

Several heavy bombers of the flying team roared from above with sufficient bombs to carry out bombing.

boom -

The entire fake artillery position was covered by firepower, and the wooden fake artillery was blown to pieces.

Wang Chengzhu, who was hiding in the forest, didn't hesitate any longer, pulled out his shell gun and fired two more shots into the air.

The other [-]% of the lurking air defense force suddenly exploded, pouring towards the devil plane roaring in mid-air.

The Devils Flying Team did not expect that the Eighth Route Army had hidden anti-aircraft firepower. Several planes were hit, and one of them was hit by the anti-aircraft gun on the fuel tank and crashed directly in the explosion.

Several fighter jets began to fight back, and the two [-]mm aviation machine guns loaded frantically fired towards the mountain forest.

"Three quick shots, fire!"

Wang Chengzhu gave another order, and six [-]mm machine guns fired sixteen rounds at the Devil plane in mid-air in the shortest possible time.

A Japanese fighter jet flying sideways was hit by a shell in the cockpit, and the pilot was killed on the spot.

The damaged plane was also teetering and headed towards the hill not far away.

The Devil commander in the second driving seat hurriedly parachuted before the crash.

It's a pity that the altitude was too low at this time, and there were mountains below. The little devil fell down hard, and the parachute hadn't even had time to open, but the force of the fall was cushioned by the branches blocking the way, but he was seriously injured and did not die on the spot.

Calculated in a blink of an eye, the Japanese flying team was shot down three planes.

The commander of the devil's flying squadron saw that all the eight "artillery positions" had been destroyed during the bombing.

Your Excellency Commander's mission has been successfully completed.

The remaining Eighth Route Army air defense units hid in the mountains and forests, and their vision was blocked.

If you continue to fight, it is very likely that the opponent will use the anti-aircraft firepower at hand to shoot down more aircraft.

Then he stepped on the communication system of Kong No. [-] and gave the order to retreat with gestures.

The remaining nine Japanese planes roared away quickly, and transferred to other areas of the battlefield to continue to cover the withdrawal of the Japanese and puppet troops.

At this time, the entire battlefield has been divided into many local small battlefields.

This is naturally the combat tactics that the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the first detachment quickly adjusted in the face of the Japanese aircraft reinforcements.

The devil's plane reinforcements were too powerful. Since they couldn't stop the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, they should be divided up and encircled to destroy as many as they could eat.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops had already shown a tendency to be defeated in their hasty retreat.

The officers of the Japanese army were focused on preserving the main combat force, and some of the troops were divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they would not return to rescue because of small losses.

It was as if those imperial soldiers had broken the jade for the emperor in order to hold back the Eighth Route Army troops and cover the retreat of the main force.

Some out-of-touch imperial association troops and little devils who sold their teammates didn't hesitate at all.

As for the thoughts of the Imperial Association Army, it couldn't be simpler. As soon as the Eighth Route Army troops surrounded them, they quickly disarmed and surrendered.

The reputation of the Independence Regiment for giving preferential treatment to prisoners, especially compatriots who did not kill or disarm, has long been spread.

When the puppet troops around the base area faced the independent regiment, they did not have the tenacity to fight.

The two devils panicked.

Didn't you see that the Japanese troops were all disabled?

With the reinforcement of the Japanese flying team, the retreating Japanese and puppet troops fled from multiple directions.

The two Japanese brigades of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yuncheng, which had originally gone north, hurried south and retreated to southern Shanxi after more than [-]% of the casualties.

The remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops that had been advancing to the southwest retreated to the east and southeast.

In order to avoid Huang Lianchang and his troops, as well as multiple Eighth Route Army troops who detoured from the base of the Independent Regiment.

Detachment Command.

The original big encirclement turned into a partial encirclement and annihilation war.

I wanted to catch all the Japanese and puppet troops in one go, but in the end I just caught some small fish and shrimps in the local small nets.

Head Kong expressed great anger.

It was a good game of chess, but the devil's flying team was messed up.

"Where's Ye Min? Communication soldier, go and call Ye Min over."

"Yes!"

A moment later, Ye Min, the former deputy captain of the commando team and now the commander of the commando company directly under the detachment, arrived and saluted the angry Kong Jie, "Commander, you are looking for me!"

Kong Jie went straight to the point and said, "How is Duan Peng's training?"

Ye Mindao: "Duan Peng has made rapid progress, and we veteran players have already learned a lot."

"What about the commando training with new recruits?"

"Reporting to the head of the group, I haven't fallen behind at all!"

"Has the reconnaissance of the devil's Mingbao Airport progressed?"

Ye Mindao: "It's still a little short, but you said, the leader, how can there be a perfect battle?

As long as you order, we guarantee to get the job done. "

Kong Jie said: "Okay, now I will give you a commando team, including you old commando members, a task."

"I don't care how to act, how to command, whether to send old players or new players."

"Have you heard about how arrogant the devil plane is on the battlefield?"

"It's not rude to come and go, you have to let the little devils deeply feel the consequences of angering our first team."

"Just one request. Before dawn tomorrow, I will receive the news that the devil's Mingbao airport has been bombed."

"All devil planes, not one left!"

"Yes!"

Ye Min responded loudly, his words were full of confidence and determination.
