Chapter 257 Support
At this time, in the headquarters of the Fifth Brigade, the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters conveyed the order to the Fifth Brigade through wired communications, and then the Fifth Brigade conveyed the order to the Japanese troops near Puyangou through cavalry.

Although this expression method is inefficient and relatively confusing, it is still an effective communication method under electromagnetic interference.

After clarifying the Japanese army's communication nodes, Zhang Shijie first ordered the attack aircraft troops to bomb the Japanese fifth brigade and destroy the Japanese army's communication nodes.

As for the Japanese troops around Puyangou, they naturally had no way to get instructions from the direction of Taiyuan after the communication nodes were destroyed.

Without the specific situation of the front line, Yoshio Shinozuka naturally had no way to organize troops to launch a general attack on the Red Police Airborne Forces.

But this was just a delaying tactic for the Red Police troops. In the follow-up combat plan, the Sixth Battalion would still focus on annihilating the Japanese troops around Puyangou.

At this time, the Japanese Fifth Brigade was setting up telephone lines while rapidly advancing toward the airborne support group.

"How is the situation on the front line?" the commander of the Japanese fifth brigade asked the captain of the cavalry brigade.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have completed the encirclement of the Chinese army, but the opponent's firepower is very fierce. Due to the chaotic organization of the troops on the front line, there is currently no unified command. Now we can only encircle the Chinese army. "

The Japanese cavalry brigade captain was also very helpless at this time. The troops on the front line were in too much chaos. His cavalry brigade was almost exhausted now!
The troops that have arrived at the front line are okay, but the large number of troops that have not yet arrived have seriously affected the Japanese army's encirclement plan.

Now the little devils can only hope that the Chinese army will not organize a breakout too quickly, otherwise their encirclement may be broken at the first touch!
Of course the airborne support group is in no hurry to break out!
It is not an easy task to attract so many little devils to gather together. If the Japanese encircling troops can be completely wiped out or severely damaged, it will definitely be a great thing for the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area!

In the original plot of Liangjian, the Yamazaki Brigade of the Little Devils played the role of blooming in the center and surrounding them on the outside.

But it was a pity that Li Yunlong killed him with a battalion of grenades before he could play this trick for long.

Although the tactics are quite outrageous, it is a novel!Artistic processing is normal.

Now the airborne support brigade also wants to give the little devils a center bloom!
There are a few little Japs around, but the scale of the Red Police Force's investment this time is not large. Even if they severely injure these Japs, it will be enough for the Japanese army in Shanxi.

As time went by, the Japanese Fifth Brigade continued to gather the surrounding Japanese troops through the cavalry brigade, and the pressure on the airborne support brigade gradually increased.

Ants kill elephants!
Under this Japanese offensive, the ammunition consumption of the airborne support group continued to increase.

However, the Red Alert soldiers are not in a hurry because air support has arrived!

"Report to the squadron leader! There seems to be the sound of an airplane in the sky!"

A Japanese sergeant first noticed that an airplane was approaching them. Without any hesitation, the little Japanese immediately reported to the squadron leader.

Due to the flying height and distance of the Red Police Force, the rest of the little devils would not be able to hear the sound of the aircraft's engine unless they noticed carefully.

But as the Air Force fighter planes got closer and closer, the faces of the little devils changed drastically when they heard the noise of the engines!
The airport near Taiyuan was almost burned into a "roast chicken farm" by the Chinese Air Force!Where else do they have planes?

The only ones that can still fly over Shanxi now are Chinese military aircraft!
"All troops! Pay attention to concealment and organize air defense! Kameda-san, go and notify the brigade headquarters!"

"Hay!"

The Japanese [-]nd Infantry Squadron, which protected the telephone line, even thought of using the cavalry to notify the [-]th Brigade in advance.

But how can the cavalry fly over the plane quickly?
Driven by a V-shaped piston engine with more than 2000 horsepower, the Qiang-[-] attack aircraft of the Red Police Force quickly rushed towards the brigade headquarters of the fifth brigade.

The little devil's cavalry communications troops were left far behind by the attack aircraft.

As the target distance got closer and closer, the attack aircraft units also gradually lowered their flying altitude.

"Each unit will launch an attack on the Japanese army according to the predetermined target distribution plan!"

"Team [-] understands!"

"Team [-] understands!"

…………

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! A Chinese military aircraft has been discovered. The target... should be us!"

"Nani?! Quick! Organize air defense quickly! Quick!"

Let me tell you a joke: During World War II, the Japanese troops stationed in China had to organize air defense during the march.

Do they have furry fast anti-aircraft equipment?

But if I really insist on saying that there is...

It seems there are too!

No, the little Japanese's marching column quickly prepared to evacuate, and many crooked light machine guns and a small number of Type [-] heavy machine guns immediately began to prepare for air-to-air shooting.

right!For these two types of equipment, the maximum caliber is 7.7 mm, which cannot even break through stronger armor.

So amidst the sparse air-to-air shooting by the Japanese army, the strength of the Red Police Force appeared!

This grand entrance is not a descriptive technique, but a physical grand entrance!

Accompanied by the fire of aviation rockets and aircraft cannons, the little devils once again tasted the sour taste of the air raid by the Red Police Force.

And Qiang Yi, which is derived from the IL-10, not only has equipment such as aircraft cannons and external rockets, but it also has a magazine!
This gives Zhang Shijie the opportunity to continue to develop his hobby of barbecue!

As the attack plane flew over the main force of the Fifth Brigade, the magazine in the belly of the plane also opened, and napalm bombs fell from the sky along the magazine to the little devil's head.

Zhang Shijie: Napalm is a good thing!

It can be seen from the fact that the devils who have experienced napalm have never received negative reviews, that napalm is indeed a good thing.

The Japanese troops who were evacuating saw what other troops had said about the Chinese incendiary bombs that could light up half the sky, and they immediately ran away!

No matter what the evasion plan is now, the little devils just hate their mother for not giving them more legs.

But how can the little devils outrun the aerial bombs dropped by planes?
Thanks to the large establishment of the Red Police Force as always, the number of Air Force fighter jets that came to conduct air strikes this time was also quite large.

Therefore, even for Japanese troops that are evacuating, the coverage area of ​​the aerial bombs carried by the Air Force is sufficient.

The ground crew even mixed some cloud bombs into the napalm bombs as gifts for the little devils.

I hope the Japanese army can enjoy these napalm and cloud bombs with a grateful heart.

Little devil: Thank you!
Along with the raging fire dropped by the attack aircraft of the Red Police Force, the main force of the Japanese Fifth Brigade was also reduced to ashes with the fierce burning flames.

The command and communication nodes on the Japanese battlefield were completely destroyed.

"Tower, this is the ground strike force. Target No. 1 has been cleared. Please give instructions for the next phase of the mission!" "Ground strike force, I am the tower. I will conduct free strikes on the surrounding Japanese targets and slow down the Japanese army's build-up!"

"understand!"

After receiving the order from the Air Force Command, the attack aircraft units quickly dispersed into formation and carried out free strikes against the Japanese troops.

Just as the attack aircraft force was dispersing, a modified mosquito transport aircraft force flew quickly over the attack aircraft force.

This is the unit that supplies supplies to the airborne support group.

At this time, the engineer squadron of the airborne support brigade had set up an airdrop area in the central area of ​​​​Puyangou, and set up colored smoke bombs as markers around the airdrop area.

With the continuous exchange of fire between China and Japan, the sky at this time has also turned from night to morning.Under the sun, it is also easier for the airdrop supplies of the Red Police Force to accurately fall into the conspicuously marked area.

"Attention ground troops, airdrop supplies are about to be dropped. Please indicate the drop area!"

"Ground troops received! Drop center: 289, radius 803 meters, purple smoke marker bombs around the drop area!"

"The transport aircraft formation has received it and started dropping it."

Just when the Japanese army thought that the ammunition of this Chinese army was about to be exhausted, the transport planes and the falling umbrellas in the sky directly gave the little devil a realistic opportunity.

Under this loud blow, the heads of the commanders of the Japanese encircling troops were buzzing.

It was because this group of Chinese troops was isolated and without logistics that they spent so many lives to surround this Chinese army and consume their ammunition.

Now that they are seeing all their ammunition, have you airdropped supplies? !
Then didn’t all our people die in vain? !
The little devil is very desperate about the current situation.This disappointment is no less than that of running out of money and not having time to take off your pants before the police arrive.

"Communication soldier!"

"Your Excellency, Captain!"

Since the aerial supplies of the airborne support group completely disrupted the Japanese army's combat deployment, the three infantry regiments responsible for surrounding the Red Police troops did not know what to do.

Now they can only report to their superiors and wait for new combat orders.

"Return to the Fifth Brigade as quickly as possible, report to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka on the Chinese army's acquisition of air supplies, and ask them to issue a new combat plan!"

"Hay!"

In fact, it is not impossible for the Japanese encirclement force to make its own plans, but outside the airborne support group, the Japanese encirclement force only has three units at the regiment level, and even more at the brigade level and squadron level, too many to count.

Moreover, due to the proximity principle of cavalry communication, these troops are not affiliated with each other.Moreover, in order to avoid the intensive artillery fire of the Red Police troops, the area of ​​​​the encirclement was very huge, and the use of personnel communication required extremely high time costs!

Therefore, they can only rely on the fifth brigade for reporting and coordination and command.

After all, the fifth brigade is the only unit in the theater that can directly contact the headquarters of the First Army, and their unit organization exceeds the level of all encircling units.

In order to prevent death due to uncooperative operations, they can only re-formulate the combat plan through the fifth brigade.

This is equivalent to buying the airborne support group a considerable amount of time again.

Just when the Japanese encircling troops were in a dilemma, the surrounding little devils who were still gathering towards Puyangou also suffered a heavy blow.

According to Zhang Ning's free combat plan for the attack aircraft unit, the attack aircraft units performing ground attack missions were carried out in groups of two and began to carry out frantic attacks on the surrounding Japanese troops.

Under the attack of 12.7mm aviation machine guns, 23mm aircraft cannons, aviation rockets, and even a small amount of remaining napalm bombs, the personnel losses of Japanese squadron-level assembled troops often exceeded 70.00%, and several Japanese squadrons were even destroyed by aviation. Total annihilation!
Basically, more than half of the troops at the brigade level were lost!
Under the free strikes of attack planes, the Japanese encircling troops also began to slow down their offensive efforts because the support troops no longer continued to arrive.

Just as attack planes were looking for Japs in the surrounding area, a Yunba with several artillery guns on one side of the fuselage arrived over Puyangou.

"Airborne Support Group, this is the air gunship, ready for ground strikes. Please indicate the target location, over!"

"Airborne Support Group received! Target indicator: red marker bomb!"

"Aerial gunship received, start attacking the ground!"

"boom!"

After receiving the call from the gunship, the red police force immediately fired red smoke bombs with mortars at the Japanese hard-point targets. Just when the little devil was still wondering why the Chinese army was firing smoke bombs, the 76mm low-powered gunship in the air The shells from the high-pressure air force guns followed and landed on the heads of the Japanese troops.

With the support of aerial gunboats, the airborne support brigade carried out devastating strikes against hard-point targets that had just been established in the Japanese encirclement.

As the Japanese hardpoint targets were cleared, the aerial gunships' twin 12.7mm machine guns and 23mm rapid-fire cannons began to attack Japanese personnel targets.

The little devils get a taste of love from their Chinese wild daddy again!
At this time, the cavalry correspondent responsible for returning to the fifth brigade also began to run wildly on the road.

Since the cavalry brigade of the [-]th Brigade had to carry out communication tasks, most of the cavalry avoided the barbecue feast of the Red Police Troops.

But when they returned to the brigade headquarters and saw only ruins and ashes, they all became numb.

It's over, unified communication and command are gone!
"Mossy, Mossy? Mossy, Mossy?"

"Have you not been contacted yet?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked the staff officer who was frantically making calls to the fifth brigade.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there should be a problem with the phone lines. I will send telephone soldiers to check the phone lines along the way now!"

With that said, the Japanese staff officer made arrangements for the phone soldier's mission.

Although the Japanese army is now striving to eliminate the fault as quickly as possible, the First Army Headquarters no longer has a source of intelligence information during the period before communications are restored.

No intelligence is fatal to the army command!

And even if the Japanese staff thought it was a problem with the phone line, Yoshio Shinozuka, who had fought many times with the Red Police Force, still had an ominous premonition.

"I hope the Fifth Brigade is okay."

In Puyangou, the aerial gunboats began to return after pouring ammunition against the Japanese encirclement.

Just when the little devils just breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of artillery came from behind them!
"Airborne Support Group, this is the Sixth Battalion, our troops have arrived on the battlefield!"

I went on a mission yesterday. Everyone knows about my situation. Please forgive me!
