Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3067 Surprise Attack on the Anti-Japanese Brigade!

Kitashirakawa Minami then turned his gaze to the officers of the 1st Division, scrutinizing them, and said, "Although your division commander did not come with us, I believe that everyone in the 1st Division is an elite. Therefore, I believe that you should be able to revise your operational plan in a short time based on the weapons and supplies obtained by the Anti-Japanese Brigade, right?"

The Japanese officers straightened up in unison and shouted, "Hey! Your Highness!"

Subsequently, the Japanese officers of the 1st Division began to intensively reassess the battle losses.

Of course, they also need to make tactical adjustments.

Meanwhile, Japanese spies from the Special Higher Police, who had infiltrated around the Anti-Japanese Brigade, also received orders to blow up the supply shipment.

The head of the Japanese spies, Tsuchigu, had a grim expression. He knew this mission was extremely difficult; failure would not only cost him his life but also implicate the entire undercover team. But he also knew that Kitashirakawa Minami's orders were not to be disobeyed; otherwise, a punishment worse than death awaited them.

Then, Tu Gou solemnly said, "Gentlemen, this is a major test for our Special Higher Police, and also an opportunity for us to prove our worth. Although the task is arduous, we must complete it. Everyone prepare yourselves and await the next rendezvous. Once we find the whereabouts of the Anti-Japanese Brigade's munitions, we will immediately blow them up, at any cost!"
"Hi!"

The other Japanese spies received their orders and immediately went about their own business.

Since they hadn't seen the anti-Japanese brigade's weapons, they could only wait for the infiltrators within the brigade to find their whereabouts before they could launch their operation.

And so, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days later, at Fengtian Airport, bombers entered the runway area at dawn and lined up neatly on both sides of the runway.

Ground crew members moved about busily conducting final checks before takeoff.

As the command came from the control tower, the engines of the first bomber began to roar as it slowly moved toward the runway.

Immediately afterwards, the engines of the other bombers also started up, and the entire airfield was instantly enveloped in a deafening roar.

On the runway, the first bomber began to taxi slowly, its speed increasing. As it passed the end of the runway, its fuselage suddenly pitched up, like an iron bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

Then came the second, the third, and so on...

One bomber after another took off, forming a massive aerial formation that blotted out the sky with its imposing presence.

Then, this group of more than thirty bombers and fighters circled in the air for a week, found the coordinates, and headed straight for the anti-Japanese brigade's base.

This was a probing attack; Kitashirakawa Minami's aim was to assess the defensive capabilities of the anti-Japanese battalion.

Therefore, this air raid was almost entirely unexpected, and the Japanese troops in Matsubara showed no intention of sending troops; it was a complete surprise attack.

It was nearly noon when the massive formation of Japanese bombers appeared over the Anti-Japanese Brigade's base.

The once clear sky was instantly shrouded by the flock of iron birds that blotted out the sun, and the enormous roar could be heard from afar by the anti-Japanese brigade.

The air raid siren of the Anti-Japanese Brigade sounded, making the hearts of every Anti-Japanese Allied Army soldier tighten.

"Attention all personnel! Proceed according to the planned schedule!"

Duanwu and Ma Ping'an's voices echoed in the air above the garrison, giving the soldiers enough confidence, especially the new recruits.

This was the first time they had encountered such a scene, and many of them were quite panicked.

However, at that moment, Duanwu and Ma Ping'an's voices acted as a reassurance, completely silencing the previously noisy crowd.

Following Li Zhenshan's orders, they quickly dispersed and evacuated.

Immediately following were the first and second teams of Chunjiang, who respectively covered the evacuation of the supply train and the field hospital. At the same time, the soldiers of the artillery company rushed towards the artillery positions like arrows released from a bow.

They skillfully operated the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, adjusting the angle and height of the muzzles.

"Ready—launch!"

At the command of the artillery company commander, eight anti-aircraft guns and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously.

The dense barrage of firepower instantly wove together into a dense network of fire in mid-air.

A Japanese plane was unable to dodge in time and was hit by an anti-aircraft shell, instantly exploding into a fireball in mid-air.

The shattered wreckage of the plane flew in all directions.

Two nearby fighter jets and bombers were unable to dodge in time and were hit directly.

After a series of crackling sounds, shrapnel rained down on the fuselage of the fighter jet and the wings of the bomber, penetrating them instantly.

And by sheer coincidence, the fighter jet's fuel tank was hit by shrapnel, and flames quickly spread along the leaking fuel, raging wildly across the fuselage.

The pilot stared in horror at the flashing malfunction indicator lights on the instrument panel, frantically maneuvering the control stick with both hands, trying to stabilize the out-of-control aircraft.

But it was all in vain. The plane violently lurched and tumbled in the air, like a bird with broken wings, plummeting straight to the ground.

The situation of the other bomber was equally dire; its engine and one wing were pierced by shrapnel, thick smoke billowed from the tail, and its power was rapidly decreasing.

The plane swayed precariously in the air, as if it might crash at any moment.

The Japanese pilot was frantic, shouting hoarsely into the communicator: "Squadron Leader, my plane has been hit and cannot maintain its flight attitude!"

"Baka yarou! The Anti-Japanese Brigade really does have anti-aircraft weapons. Everyone, increase the altitude of the planes and drop bombs to destroy the Anti-Japanese Brigade's anti-aircraft weapons!"

The squadron leader gave a loud order, and as for the heavily damaged Japanese plane, it could only hope for the best.

As soon as the squadron leader gave the order, the remaining Japanese planes adjusted their attitudes and dispersed to bomb the anti-Japanese squadron's base from different directions.

One after another, aerial bombs whistled down from the belly of the Japanese planes.

They streaked across the sky with long, fiery tails, whistling as they fell to earth like meteorites.

boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions followed one after another at the anti-Japanese brigade's base.

A massive fireball shot into the sky, and the shockwave from the explosion swept wildly in all directions with overwhelming force.

Wherever it went, houses were instantly shattered, wooden beams and tiles flew everywhere like raindrops, and the dust it raised blotted out the sky.

Some soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were thrown into the air by the shockwave, tracing horrific parabolic arcs before crashing heavily to the ground.

Some of them coughed up blood and tried to pick up the ammunition boxes that had fallen to the ground, while others were laid to rest on the land they loved.

But no matter how brutal the battlefield was under the bombing by the Japanese, it could not shake the strong will of the other soldiers.

As long as they are alive and can move, they will desperately pull the trigger and fire the cannons!
