Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2787 Bombing the triple checkpoints!

The one-eyed man finally relaxed his tense nerves when he saw the Japanese fighter planes finally retreat. He wiped the sweat from his face from the fierce battle just now, then turned around and shouted behind him: "All units, count the casualties, quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, several soldiers covered in the smell of gunpowder came over, supporting the wounded.

The bullet tore open a bloody wound on the right arm of the deputy shooter, Lao Zhang, and the bleeding continued. The medical staff rushed forward to bandage him.

The machine gunner Xiao Wang's face was half blackened by gun smoke. He grinned with his cracked lips and said, "Captain, the enemy's ballistics are crooked than the flowers embroidered by an old woman!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The one-eyed man cursed, then glanced at the bodies of the fallen soldiers nearby, his brows twisted into knots.

In this battle, although they successfully repelled the enemy planes, three people were killed.

They are the best shooters of the black troops.

"Yes, send a telegram to the captain immediately and tell him that he really predicted it and the Japs really sent planes to attack Sanchongguan."

The one-eyed man suddenly thought of something and ordered the signalman to send a message to the captain Duanwu.

Duanwu was taking his troops to rest, and was selecting elite troops from Chunjianghao's team, who would then act together with him and Long Qianyan.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the One-Eyed Dragon sent a telegram, describing in detail the situation of the Japanese air raid.

After hearing the report, Duanwu immediately felt something was wrong.

If the Japanese really wanted to launch an air raid on Sanchong Pass, why would they only send three planes?

So Duanwu immediately asked the signalman to call back and tell Duyanlong that this was not an air raid, but the Japanese were investigating the deployment of troops above the cliff of Sanchongguan. The real air raid might come soon.

He also ordered the One-Eyed Dragon to prepare some scarecrows and place them on the cliff to confuse the enemy.

The enemy was in the sky, and it was dark, so the straw man only needed to have a human shape. And the speed had to be fast.

After reading the telegram in his hand, the one-eyed man immediately ordered: "Go and cut some wormwood and bring it back. Those who know how to make scarecrows can stay and make scarecrows."

The soldiers asked in confusion: "Captain, what are you doing with the straw men?"

The one-eyed dragon said impatiently, "Just do it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go, all of you. Bring back more wormwood."

"Yes!"

The soldiers obeyed the order one after another. Some of them went to look at the wormwood, while others collected ropes with which to make straw men.

Without ropes, everyone took off their leggings. Some people even tore the clothes of the Japanese soldiers they had collected into strips and used them as ropes.

Some people even collect dry branches to use as guns for scarecrows.

But in fact, Duanwu's arrangements were not that complicated. All he wanted was a straw man in the shape of a human.

It is so dark today, and except for the little light from the incendiary bombs dropped by the Japanese, the Japanese can't see anything at all at high altitude.

However, the One-Eyed Dragon and the soldiers in the black army were carrying out Duanwu's orders meticulously.

Soon, more than a hundred scarecrows were made. They were placed in a certain proportion along the locations where the Japanese dropped incendiary bombs.

By the time he finished all this, it was already past ten o'clock at night. The one-eyed man let out a long sigh.

But at this moment, the roar of the plane engine suddenly came from the southwest again. And this time, the sound was even louder than before.

The one-eyed man picked up the telescope and looked towards the southwest.

At this moment, the darkness in the southwest sky was being torn apart by little bits of light. A total of thirty-six bombers and fighter planes formed a formation and flew straight towards the triple pass.

The one-eyed man immediately gave the order for everyone to leave their positions.

The soldiers quickly withdrew from their positions, and at this time, the Japanese bombers had already arrived. On the north side of the cliff, signal flares rose into the air, indicating that Nakajima was guiding the bombers.

When the pilot of the Japanese bomber saw the signal flare, he understood everything. Under the cover of fighter planes, he launched a dive bombing on the cliff above Sanchongguan.

The Japanese bomber fleets drew deadly tracks in the night sky. Those tracks were like the claw marks of the devil, deeply imprinted on the dark sky.

The moonlight was blocked by the wings, and the stars seemed to hide out of fear. The only sound in the night sky was the dull roar of the bombers and the long trails they left behind.

Following the instructions of the Japanese flight squadron leader, the bomber group began to adjust their formation, gradually gathering together to form a tight formation.

In the night sky, the shadows of the bombers grew longer and longer, like a group of birds of prey about to swoop down on their prey.

The bomb bay door under the belly of the plane slowly opened, revealing a number of aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms.

Each of them is powerful enough to destroy a building.

One of the bombers was numbered "Akagi", and its pilot was a leader in the Japanese Air Force - Akagi Konan, who was always known for his accurate bombing and bravery.

At this moment, he was staring at the ground below the plane, his eyes locked on dozens of dark shadows lying on the ground.

He thought it was an anti-Japanese fighter, but it was actually a straw man used as bait.

But Chicheng Xiaonan couldn't tell any difference, because in the darkness, with only a tiny bit of firelight, he couldn't tell whether the other person was a human or a straw man.

So with a cruel look on his face, he placed his finger lightly on the bomb button, waiting for the best time to release the bomb.

There was no fluctuation in his eyes, only absolute loyalty to the mission and indifference to death.

In his view, the cliff below was just a chess piece on the chessboard of war, and he was the chess player who held the power of life and death.

The Akagi was the first to dive, its fuselage almost parallel to the ground, and its speed was so fast that it seemed to tear the night sky apart.

Soon after, other bombers followed suit, and like a pack of mad wild dogs, they pounced on the cliff below.

The bomb bay door under the belly of the plane was fully opened, and one by one, the aerial bombs broke away from the fuselage under the action of gravity and fell rapidly towards the target below.

The bombs drew arcs in the night sky, and their surfaces flashed with the light of death under the moonlight.

Each bomb carried a breath of destruction as it rushed towards the cliff below.

On the cliff, the soldiers of the black army were staring at the sky. Their eyes were full of uncertainty at this moment. They didn't know whether the straw man on the cliff could really deceive the Japanese.

But it was obvious that they thought too much. At high speed and in the dark, no matter how good the bomber pilots were, they could only bomb according to the guidance of flares and previously dropped incendiary bombs.

boom!

Chi Chenghao's first bomb missed the target, and the aerial bomb only hit the edge of the cliff.

With a huge explosion, fierce flames shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.

The huge sound produced by the bomb explosion was as deafening as thunder, causing a stinging pain in the eardrums.

The blast created a violent gust of wind that blew away the surrounding trees, flowers, and even heavy rocks.

Under the terrifying energy fluctuations, the entire earth was shaking violently.

But this was far from over. Soon, more bombs fell and the top of the cliff instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

In the firelight, one could see the dirt and rubble splashed by the explosion of the bomb. They flew everywhere like countless stray bullets, and once hit, even a human would be pierced through the body in an instant.

Therefore, after just one round of bombing, the entire cliff was riddled with holes! .
