Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2593 Air raid on Phoenix City!
"What? All the bombers were shot down? The guerrillas have anti-aircraft weapons?"

When he heard the news that the fleet had returned empty-handed, Kujo Miyakita was very surprised. The guerrillas even had anti-aircraft weapons? Would they drive tanks to his doorstep in a few days?
Kujo Miyakita was simply finding it unbelievable that the Chunjianghao guerrillas not only had more and more people, but now they also had submachine guns and anti-aircraft weapons.

And if he had dozens more tanks and formed a mechanized corps, he had no doubt that Ye Xuwen would be able to fight to Songyuan.

Kujo Miyakita couldn't think of a better way for a moment, so he could only look at Miyata offering a bow beside him.

Miyata Xianju also frowned slightly. He really had no talent for military affairs.

But when Jiujo Gongbei looked at him, he could only say, "How about we ask the Fengtian Headquarters again?"

Kujo Miyakita thought for a moment and nodded, because indeed, in the absence of reinforcements, he could only request air support from Fengtian.

But at this time, when Fengtian received the telegram from Kujo Miyakita, they had an urge to curse.

The soldiers that Takeda and Kujo Miyakita took away were all from Fengtian, but none of them ever came back. In addition, Fengtian also suffered heavy losses in its fighter planes. And they also had to cooperate with the southern battlefield occasionally.

So in this case, how can they recruit Kujo Miyakita?
But they couldn't help but give face to Kujo Miyakita.

Therefore, the Fengtian Japanese Command held an emergency meeting to discuss the issue, and ultimately only responded by sending seven fighter planes, four of which were bombers and three were fighters.

Although these planes are pitifully few for Kujo Miyakita.

But having it is better than having nothing.

However, if they wanted to launch an air raid, Kujo Miyakita would have to wait, because Fengtian was extremely far away from Songyuan, and the bombers needed to be inspected and reloaded.

Kujo Miyakita was naturally not idle. On one hand, he ordered the communications officer to send a telegram to Chuncheng, urging the Chuncheng headquarters to quickly withdraw troops. On the other hand, he discussed their next goal with Miyata Kenju.

Of course, Kujo Miyakita still didn't think of blowing up the granary in Phoenix City first.

But he felt that the guerrillas' base had anti-aircraft weapons, but Phoenix City certainly did not. He did not believe that the guerrillas would have so many anti-aircraft weapons.

Miyata Xianju also agreed with this, and then the two idiots unanimously decided to blow up the grain depot in Phoenix City, causing huge losses to the guerrillas.

After making this decision, Jiujo Gongbei finally realized the importance of blowing up the granary. He felt that he was so smart that he actually thought of the importance of blowing up the granary.

So another bombing plan took shape, and around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese planes flew over Phoenix.

The guerrilla soldiers commanded by Duanwu had already set up heavy machine guns on the city wall.

However, the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun could only shoot down planes with luck. It was okay to shoot down Japanese planes at an altitude of several hundred meters, but if the Japanese planes were at an altitude of more than two thousand meters, the bullets would not be able to reach them at all.

However, the purpose of these machine guns is not to shoot down the Japanese planes, but to scare the Japanese planes and prevent them from dropping bombs at low altitudes. This will greatly reduce their hit rate and avoid causing greater losses.

Of course, the granary had been emptied by the guerrillas, so there was no loss even if it was bombed.

However, the granary was very close to the city lord's mansion, and Duanwu was afraid that the Japanese would blow up the city lord's mansion as well.

So under the interference of heavy machine guns, the Japanese bombers dropped eight 250-kilogram heavy bombs at high altitude, only three of which landed in the granary, two landed in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and the other three landed in the streets and houses of Phoenix City.

The huge explosion shook the entire Phoenix City, and even some weak wooden houses collapsed in the tremors. At this time, both the guerrilla fighters and the soldiers of Phoenix City were stunned when they saw this scene.

The horrific explosion left a crater more than 20 meters across on the ground, and the granary that was hit exploded directly in the middle.

The houses were shattered into pieces in the explosion, and the impact spread to areas fifty meters away.

The soldiers were still in shock. If Leader Ye had not arranged to evacuate everyone in advance, there would have been heavy casualties in Phoenix City.

But at this time, the battle was not over yet. The Japanese fighter planes strafed the city from high altitude, and the machine gunners on the city wall fought back desperately.

At this time, it was an unfair battle. When the Japanese planes strafed downwards, the bullets could be fired along the city walls, but the guerrillas' heavy machine guns found it difficult to hit the Japanese.

Duanwu immediately ordered the guerrillas on the city wall to evacuate and set up machine guns on the houses.

When the Japanese pilot saw that he could not gain any advantage, he turned around and followed the bomber away.

Duanwu immediately asked Lao Ma to count the casualties, because he saw that several machine gunners fighting the Japanese planes on the city wall were hit by bullets.

Moreover, due to the Japanese bombing, there were many fires in the city, and extinguishing the fires was a difficult task.

In the entire city of Phoenix, almost all buildings are made of wood, and once a fire breaks out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ma Ping'an was busy for more than half an hour before he came back and said to Duanwu, "There were a lot of casualties in this battle. Five were killed and more than ten were injured. We can't continue fighting like this. We need not only anti-aircraft machine guns, but also anti-aircraft artillery. Otherwise, we will have no way to deal with the Japanese planes."

Duanwu naturally knew about it, but anti-aircraft artillery, even if he had a place to buy it, it would be difficult to transport it, right?

Moreover, Duanwu was a little worried that the Japanese would drop incendiary bombs next time.

The entire Phoenix city is built of wood. If a few incendiary bombs are dropped, the entire Phoenix city will burn.

He quickly went to Huo Feng to discuss moving all the valuables from Phoenix City.

At this time, Huo Feng was doing this with her loyal guards.

Phoenix City has existed for more than a hundred years and has a strong cultural heritage. It can accommodate more than thirty large and small vehicles.

Duanwu didn't ask what was in the boxes, but some of them must be very heavy, and two horses would be needed to pull the carts.

As soon as Huo Feng saw Duan Wu, he went to meet him and said, "Mr. Ye, I have packed all my things. I am ready to move. It seems that I cannot stay in Phoenix City. In Phoenix City, those villagers who originally planned to stay are also ready to leave with me."

Duanwu nodded and said, "Okay, let's move to a safe place first. Once we have a firm foothold, we can discuss how to fight the devils."

Huo Feng was a little worried at this time and said: "These little devils have planes. I don't think it's safe no matter where we move to."

Duanwu smiled and said, "There will always be a way. Don't worry, this kind of day won't last long."

"Ok!"

Huo Feng nodded heavily. She didn't know why, but she trusted the man in front of her very much!
