Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 233 Gap
"Platoon commander, the kid has started attacking. Do you need to open fire?"

"Wait, let me take a look first."

As he said that, the Red Police platoon leader used binoculars to look at the situation on the front line. He saw that a group of the Japs with heavy casualties were all bare-chested and had their bayonets fixed. Under the leadership of their captain, they began to move towards the Red Police force. A flank charge was launched.

Red Alert Platoon Leader:.
"Don't worry about them now. These little devils are attacking in the wrong direction. There is at least 500 meters of minefield ahead of them. Let them fight and report this information!"

At this time, the forward positions of the three companies of the Red Police Force all found that the trapped Japanese troops began to attack the Red Police Force. However, because the structure of the Red Police Force was basically parallel to the direction of the Japanese attack, in the eyes of the Red Police Soldiers , just like the little devils running past me crying and howling in front of me.

Red Alert Soldiers:
You guys attack without even understanding the direction of the attack?Simply!

As a result, the Red Alert soldiers watched as the little devils began to charge in the wrong direction of attack, and gradually lost all of them as the mines exploded.

When the Japanese were almost dead, the soldiers of the Red Police Force began to replenish the minefields that the Japanese had emptied with human flesh from their hidden fortifications.

The wounded soldiers of the little Japs felt despair in their hearts as they watched landmines being thrown from their sides.

Only then did they realize that their attack was in the wrong direction.

At this time, Jiang Wen, the commander of the Fengyang Theater of the Red Police Force, looked at the terrain map of the entire combat area and waited for the combat staff to rearrange the enemy-friendly situation map in the Fengyang area.

"Deputy commander, according to reports from the frontline troops, the Japanese troops on the southwest and east front have begun to stop large-scale attacks and only conducted a small amount of fire reconnaissance. However, about two cavalry regiments have begun to conduct probing around the entire Fengyang Mountain. Investigation." A staff officer reported to Jiang Wenhui.

Jiang Wen heard this and asked: "What are the current movements of the little Japanese who have withdrawn? Are they reinforcing their positions to prevent our army from counterattacking?"

"Yes, deputy captain!"

In response to the staff officer's affirmative reply, Jiang Wen nodded secretly, which showed that his analysis of the Japanese army's movements was correct.

Later, Jiang Wen asked again: "How are the pre-war preparations at the airport?"

"Reporting to the deputy commander, the pre-war preparations for the airport have been completed before noon today!"

"Order the air force and armored groups to have a good rest today. Tomorrow will be their home court!"

"Yes!"

But in the Japanese army headquarters, the little devils were looking sad at this time.

Although they knew that the position of the Red Police Force would be very difficult to attack and would definitely cause a large number of casualties, they did not expect that the entire Fengyang Mountain Defense Area was like an iron barrel, making it impossible for them to attack on the ground!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we'd better ask for aviation support. In this case, it may be difficult for our ground forces to break through the Chinese army's defense line in Fengyang Mountain." The chief of staff of the No. 13 Division said to Ogisu Rihei .

Since the No. 13 Division directly lost three brigades just to test the positions of the Red Police troops, nearly half of the main infantry combat strength of the entire fourth regiment has been lost.

What makes the little devil most uncomfortable is that the people from these three brigades are dead, and the position of the Red Police Force has not yet been explored.

"I also know that aviation support is needed now, but Nanjing's plan is to launch a general offensive tomorrow. If air power is dispatched now, our aviation will be exposed in advance."

"Then it's always okay to send two reconnaissance planes to investigate the situation in Fengyang Mountain, right?"

Hearing this, Ogisu Ribei's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Apply to the Nanjing Headquarters first!"

"Hay!"

When the Japanese headquarters in Nanjing received the request from the No. 13 Division, the Japanese commander immediately issued an order to the aviation unit: "Order the aviation unit to dispatch two reconnaissance aircraft, first transfer to the departure airport, and then conduct an attack on Fengyang Mountain. Reconnaissance! Then use this airport as a bait to attract the Chinese Air Force's bomber force, order the aviation fighter force and ground air defense force to deploy against the bait airport, and strive to annihilate the Chinese Army's bomber force in one fell swoop!"

The little devil has already developed a fear of the Air Force bombers of the Red Police Force. After all, if such a bomber force is not eliminated, in future battles, this unit will be like a machete hanging around the neck of the devil, causing the little devil to even defeat the enemy. They dare not carry out the assembly easily.

Therefore, under the order of the Japanese Army Command in Nanjing, two reconnaissance planes from Hefei Airport quickly took off and headed straight for an airstrip near Chuzhou.

This will also be the ambush point for the Japanese army to attack the Red Police Air Force bomber unit.

After a round of preparations, the two reconnaissance planes of the Little Devil took off again and headed straight for Fengyang Mountain.

But how could the Red Police Force be led by the devil?
From the order issued by the Japanese Nanjing headquarters to the transfer by the Japanese plane, the entire Japanese army's communication content and troop movements were all under the control of the Red Police Force.

All the above intelligence on Japanese military movements was also collected into the Intelligence Division of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Group.

The movements of the two Japanese reconnaissance planes were also conveyed to the frontline troops in Fengyang by the Red Alert spies of the Intelligence Department.

"Chongqing, this is bj. The Japanese aviation force is heading towards you. According to the radar signal, it is a Japanese Type 97 reconnaissance aircraft. Number: 2, heading: 104. It is expected to arrive in Fengyang area in 28 minutes. Please do your best. Ready for battle.”

"Chongqing received!"

After receiving the information circulated by the Intelligence Department, Jiang Wen immediately ordered the air defense forces in Fengyang area to prepare for combat.

There are now four companies in the entire Fengyang Mountains, including the 23rd Air Defense Company and the 3th Air Defense Company equipped with 4mm anti-aircraft guns under the 37rd and [-]th Battalions.In addition, there are two twin [-]mm anti-aircraft gun batteries within the air defense battalion.

As for the anti-aircraft machine guns under each company, they are not included in the calculation as an integrated force.

But as far as the current air strike capabilities are concerned, the air defense force of the Red Police Force is enough to deal with the two Japanese reconnaissance aircraft this time.

As a result, the two double 37mm anti-aircraft gun companies of the Red Police Air Defense Force located in Fengyang Mountain completed combat deployment based on the intelligence from the Intelligence Section, while the two air defense companies equipped with 23mm anti-aircraft guns were on mobile standby.

After all, the entire Fengyang Mountain defense area is too large, and the soldiers still have to be wary of the Japanese army changing course.

Fortunately, the communication capabilities of the Red Police Force far exceed that of contemporaneous troops. They can communicate directly with the Dewo radar station in Dagushan, which enhances the reaction speed and intelligence acquisition efficiency of the troops, and can detect changes in the Japanese army as soon as possible. Grasp the intelligence of the Japanese army and change the combat deployment.

At this time, the two reconnaissance planes of the Little Devil also flew to the area near Fengyang Mountain.

The little devils didn't know much about the ground air defense force of the Red Police Force, but they were not fools either.

According to the intelligence exchanged with the ground troops, the Japanese pilots knew very clearly the firepower density of the Red Police troops.

It was not an accident in this era for small arms to bring down an airplane, so the two reconnaissance planes of the Little Devils kept flying at a height of 1500 meters and headed towards Fengyang Mountain.

"Murakami-kun, we are about to arrive at Fengyang Mountain. It will be difficult for us to detect the situation below at this flying altitude."

"I know, wait until we actually enter the Fengyang Mountain area to see the opponent's firepower before deciding whether to lower it or not."

Following the communication between the pilot and observers in a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, two Japanese aircraft officially entered the sky above Fengyang Mountain.The Red Alert air defense force on the ground also discovered the location of the two reconnaissance aircraft through sighting equipment, and directed anti-aircraft artillery to prepare for a fire strike against the two Japanese aircraft.

Seeing that there was no anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, a Japanese fighter pilot gestured to his wingman to lower his altitude for reconnaissance.

The pilot of the other reconnaissance plane also lowered its altitude upon seeing this.

But just when the little devil lowered his altitude, he saw a position similar to an anti-aircraft gun. Just when he wanted to ask the observer on the plane, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

"Attention, whole company! Fire!"

"Bam! Boom! Bam! Bam!..."

More than a dozen 37mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns from the Red Police anti-aircraft artillery unit began to fire a salvo, and the dense barrage of artillery shells instantly enveloped the two reconnaissance aircraft.

The radio proximity fuse exploded quickly near the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft. The steel balls and shrapnel thrown out by the explosion of the warhead tore the two Japanese aircraft into pieces in less than a moment.

One of the Japanese reconnaissance planes was directly hit by an anti-aircraft artillery shell and disintegrated in the air.It is estimated that the personnel and parts on the Japanese plane are not available.

The wing of another plane was blown off by shrapnel on the spot, and the fuel in the plane's fuel tank was also ignited by the explosion.

The entire plane spiraled directly onto the ground and crashed.

"boom!"

As the little Japanese reconnaissance plane fell, the air defense operation of the Red Police Force officially came to an end.

"What are you doing, kid? I'm so unwilling to resist, and I haven't fired yet!" said a soldier from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Company dissatisfied.

Due to the direction of the little devil's flight, the anti-aircraft artillery company opened fire first in this ambush.

However, the firepower of the Red Police Force was too powerful, and the two reconnaissance planes of the Little Devils were shot down without even a chance to evade.

After waiting for a long time, the Japanese army found that their reconnaissance plane had not returned yet, and they had already guessed that the Chinese army in Fengyang Mountain had ground anti-aircraft firepower.

The division commanders on the front line all frowned after hearing the news.

Facing the mine-based defenses of the Red Police Force, the little Japanese was like a toothless tiger facing a hedgehog with nowhere to go.

Engineers demining will be bombarded, and artillery clearing the way will be killed by the opponent's long-range artillery. Now there are measures to deal with even aircraft bombing the opposite side.

This makes the little devils very depressed.

"Division commander, today we are strengthening the construction of fortifications, but what about tomorrow's attack plan? If we are kept being restrained by the Chinese army in the mountains here, the battle over Suizao will be postponed indefinitely!"

The commander of the third division, Susumu Fujita, was also very worried when he heard this.

In 1939, Japan's economy was much worse than before. At this time, they simply did not have enough materials and energy to conduct two simultaneous battles with 10 troops on the Chinese battlefield.

However, the defensive position of the Red Police Force was too difficult to defeat. After a day of attack, not only the heavy losses were suffered, but the people on the opposite side were not even seen!
It's no good to withdraw the troops now and concentrate on fighting Suizao. If we leave such a powerful force alone, it would be fun if this force could defeat Nanjing.

At this time, another staff officer suggested: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, otherwise... let's let the First Artillery Battalion carry out long-distance artillery bombardment against the Chinese army tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the Chief of Staff of the Third Division said directly: "No! In this case, the First Artillery Battalion cannot fire easily!"

Because the little devil's artillery wing is equipped with two types of equipment: 105mm howitzers and 75mm field guns.

Among these two types of equipment, the output of the 75mm field gun far exceeds that of the 105mm howitzer.

In this era, artillery over 100 mm is considered a heavy artillery, and its importance is self-evident.

If the most important treasure of the entire division is killed by the Chinese army during the battle, this kind of loss is simply unbearable!

The consequences of the annihilation of the other three artillery battalions were not as serious as the losses of the First Artillery Battalion!

When the commander of the third division heard this suggestion, his eyes lit up.

"Let the First Artillery Battalion retreat as far as possible and shoot at the Chinese army's forward positions from the longest striking distance. In this way, the opponent should be able to avoid the Chinese army's artillery strike range."

With that said, Susumu Fujita turned his attention to his chief of staff.

After hearing Fujita Susumu's words and seeing his eyes, the Chief of Staff of the Third Division could only nod in agreement with this plan.

As a result, the Third Division formulated a battle plan for the next day.

In the valley between Laofangshan and Jiutiaolong in Fengyang area, three tank companies and two armored infantry companies of the Red Police Force are also ready.

According to the battle plan of the Red Police Force, the armored troops would set out from here early the next morning to sweep across the surrounding Japanese troops.

And just in the evening of the first day, a cavalry team from the Third Division finally searched here. According to the map, from this valley, they can penetrate directly into Fengyang Mountain.

Therefore, the cavalry team sent five cavalrymen to investigate.

Not long after entering, the red police infantry unit responsible for guarding here opened fire on these cavalry!
The five Japanese soldiers in charge of the investigation quickly received their lunch boxes.

But when the Japanese cavalry captain saw this, he was as happy as if he had finally found his wild father.

The Japanese squad leader no longer cared about the life and death of the five previous cavalrymen, and quickly led his troops to retreat to the division headquarters.

This is the first time today that I saw the infantry of the Red Police Force firing, which means there are no landmines here!

The soldiers of the Red Police Force immediately reported to Jiang Wen after killing the little Jaap's scout.

After Jiang Wen learned about this situation, he also smiled coldly.

"You can't walk to heaven, but there is no way in this land, so you surrender yourself!"
