The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1383 The panicked division commander (second update)

"Baga...why did the aviation troops swoop down on us..." Lieutenant General Lin Tian shouted with disbelief on his face.

"I don't know about my humble position..." the chief of staff shook his head and replied, his face turning pale at this moment.

"Woooooooo..."

The roar overhead was quickly replaced by a scream.

When the three planes dived to a position two to three hundred meters above the ground, they dropped two aerial bombs at the same time, and then began to climb.

The six aerial bombs that lost their restraints on the fuselage followed the plane's dive trajectory and continued to hit the ground with a harsh scream.

The little devil who happened to be at the dive position of the plane was stunned.

At first they thought the aviation forces in the sky wanted to greet them by swooping down.

As a result, they didn't see the greeting, but they saw six black aerial bombs hitting them at a speed visible to the naked eye, very fast.

Aerial bombs fly so fast that they can only blink in time when they are two to three hundred meters apart.

Before the little devil could react from the shock, the aerial bomb had landed and exploded, turning into six orange-red fireballs. The billowing smoke was wrapped in flames and rose from the ground, rising to an altitude of tens of meters before beginning to dissipate.

The Kwantung Army's garrison was blasted with six huge craters with a diameter of more than five meters and a depth of more than two meters.

The soil on the surface of the crater was scorched by the flames.

The Kwantung Army at the location of the bomb crater was directly blown away, leaving not even a body behind.

The little devils farther away fell motionless to the ground. On the surface, they seemed to have no wounds, but in fact their internal organs had been shattered by the shock wave.

Anyway, centered on the impact point, all the little Japs within a radius of twenty meters were blown over, and almost no one could move.

Although the little devils within a radius of twenty to thirty meters could still move, they all fell to the ground and screamed, temporarily losing their combat effectiveness.

What made Lieutenant General Hayashi Tian even more desperate was that all four of the aerial bombs hit the station of his heavy artillery regiment. Six heavy artillery and mountain guns were overturned in the explosion. It was not known whether they could still be used.

The little Japanese gunners scattered around these artillery pieces all suffered devastating blows, and the total casualties must not be less than 150 people...

"Buzzing..."

Lieutenant General Hayashida's face also turned pale due to the sudden attack. Before he could react, the roar of the second round of planes' dive reached his ears again.

This time the attack was launched directly by five aircraft.

Two of the planes rushed towards the heavy artillery regiment station, two planes rushed towards the tank brigade station, and the remaining one dived toward the crowded area.

"Woooooooooooo...boom..."

The ear-piercing scream had just sounded, and the thunderous explosion had already reached Lieutenant General Lin Tian's ears.

Ten plumes of thick smoke wrapped in fireballs rose into the sky from the station.

Although Lieutenant General Hayashida could not see the huge damage caused by these aerial bombs to his subordinates, he could imagine it in his mind.

With a killing radius of more than thirty meters, an aerial bomb can instantly destroy an infantry squadron station.

If this aerial bomb hits the middle of the station, the entire squadron will be blown up completely.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if the aerial bomb does not hit the camp, when all the troops are gathered at the camp, it is still no problem for a bomb to kill and wound an infantry squad.

The total of ten aerial bombs equals ten infantry squads, which is equivalent to more than three squadrons of troops. Lieutenant General Lin Tian did not dare to think about it anymore, and rushed back to the headquarters, went straight to the location of the telegraph operator, and loudly ordered: "Send a telegram to the North China Front Command immediately..."

"Our unit was attacked by the Eighth Route Army aviation. The opponent dispatched twelve aircraft at once. The troops suffered heavy losses. We requested aviation support to eliminate the Eighth Route Army aviation units..."

After speaking, he ordered to the chief of staff on the side: "What are you still doing at the headquarters?"

"Immediately send out all the messengers from the division headquarters, notify all the headquarters at the brigade level and above, and immediately disperse and move to avoid the Eighth Route Army's air strikes."

"Buzzing..."

It takes time for the Kwantung Army to deliver orders, and the Eighth Route Army aviation bombing speed is obviously much faster.

The dispersal order had not yet left the division headquarters, but the roar caused by a new round of dive of the aircraft reached the headquarters again.

Lieutenant General Hayashi Tian no longer knew what words to use to describe his bad mood at the moment.

"Woooooooooooo...boom..."

The violent explosions then reached the headquarters, and Lieutenant General Lin Tian could imagine that hundreds more of his subordinates were killed in this round of bombing.

If you are unlucky enough, you may even lose more than a thousand subordinates.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Just when Lieutenant General Lin Tian's face became more and more serious, a series of sounds that were much quieter, but more intensive explosions suddenly passed into the command headquarters.

He was a battle-hardened veteran, and he knew from the sound that these explosions were not caused by aerial bombs.

Just as he was about to send someone to check, the observation post of the command headquarters rushed in with a panic expression on his face. Before he could stand still, he gasped and reported: "Sir..."

"Our station was attacked by a large-scale artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army... The enemy dispatched at least two brigades of heavy artillery, four brigades of mountain field artillery, and more than a hundred mortars of various calibers."

"The artillery regiment, the tank brigade, and the main regiments were all attacked by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire, and the troop losses were very heavy..."

Facing this accident that just happened, the heavy expression on Lieutenant General Lin Tian's face was directly replaced by panic.

Yes.

As the division commander, Lieutenant General Lin Tian felt panic for the first time.

If the troops were only attacked by the Eighth Route Army from the air, that would be nothing.

After all, it will be dark soon, and the aerial bombs carried by the aircraft are limited. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot bring a devastating blow to the entire division. At most, they will cause some casualties to the main force of the division and destroy some equipment, ammunition and supplies.

To put it more directly, no matter how hard the Eighth Route Army aviation bombs, it cannot threaten their own lives given the limited time and limited aircraft.

It's different now.

At least two regiments of artillery from the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared around the station...

Where there is artillery, there must be infantry, which means that the accident at hand is not just that the Eighth Route Army uses aircraft to consume its own troops, but that it wants to directly attack itself under the cover of aircraft and artillery, severely damage itself, or even annihilate itself. Regardless of the outcome, Lieutenant General Lin Tian did not want to see it.

Force yourself to calm down, take a few deep breaths, and give a serious order: "The troops immediately establish a defense line around the station to avoid artillery fire..."

"If the Eighth Route Army attacks us, we must stop them at all costs and we must not let them enter the garrison."

"The artillery troops and tank troops immediately launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Artillery that was active around us."
