Bright sword, I have a red police base car

"General Hashimoto, the bombing mission in bombing area No. 1 has been completed, and we are heading to bombing area No. 2!"

"Yo Xi! Keep going as planned!"

"Hai!"

After the Japanese army completed the bombing mission against the Eighth Route Army's eastern defense line, on a Japanese bomber, the aviation staff officer of the Little Devil reported the progress to Major General Hashimoto Shinji, the commander of the air raid force on board.

As a fleet of more than a hundred aircraft of various types, including 60 heavy bombers, it is very normal to send a major general to sit on the air crew.

And when the little devils are still unable to crack the electromagnetic interference of the Red Police Force, it has become the norm for the Japanese Air Force commanders to accompany the Japanese Air Force in the next stage of operations.

Although the pilots of the Japanese Air Force were very willing that their commanders could die in the sky with them, the Japanese commanders on the front line did not think so.

After all, I used to be a dead Taoist friend, but now I am a dead Taoist, so how can it be the same? !
However, under the pressure of high-level Japanese military officials, this provision was inevitably implemented.

This also led to the emergence of a large number of mid- to senior-level officers such as lieutenants, colonels, and major generals in the Japanese aviation force.

That's right, these officers who were suddenly promoted are meant to die!
The real power players in the aviation force are under strong pressure and can only use this method to save their lives at this time.

This also belongs to the Japanese army's internal policy and countermeasures.

At this time, after completing the first bombing target, the Japanese army immediately headed for the second target-the Artillery Battalion of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!
"The kid's plane! The kid's plane is coming! Hurry and take cover! Hurry!"

Unlike the four Class A regiments located on the front line, the artillery battalion located in the rear did not have complete defenses.

Due to the range of the artillery, the artillery battalion of the 343rd Brigade was not deployed at the original artillery regiment's position, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery needed to frequently change positions because it needed to avoid Japanese artillery fire.

This resulted in the 343rd Brigade Artillery Battalion, which was radio silent in order to move its position, and had no time and opportunity to avoid the Japanese air raids.

So when the Japs' air force flew over them densely, the artillery battalion of the 343rd Brigade could only evacuate personnel as quickly as possible.

However, this kind of evacuation made the Eighth Route Army feel distressed.

The simple evacuation of personnel meant that the artillery and artillery shells of the 343rd Brigade were completely gone.

"Shui Gen, retreat! Leave the cannon alone!"

Seeing a young artillery soldier still thinking about moving artillery at this time, the commander of the artillery battalion of the 343rd Brigade immediately ordered the young soldier to retreat immediately.

"But...battalion commander! I can't bear to part with such a good cannon!"

"Withdraw! There will be everything after the artillery! If the people are gone, there will be nothing left in the future!"

Having said that, the commander of the artillery battalion immediately pulled the young soldier away.

The kid on the plane looked at the Eighth Route Army artillerymen running away and said with satisfaction: "Hey! It seems that Tubal Road below has not made any air defense preparations. After seeing Diguo's plane, it can only scatter!"

Then, the little devil immediately opened the magazine and dropped dozens of aerial bombs at the same time.

Since the artillery battalion of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was very conspicuous in the sight of the little Japanese, the Japanese bombing was very accurate this time, and the artillery battalion's position was directly covered by the Japanese bombing.

Looking at the artillery positions that were blown to the ground by the Japanese army, the soldiers of the 343rd Brigade Artillery Battalion felt nothing but anger and sadness.

However, just after the Japanese army completed the bombing, 19 aircraft of the Eighth Route Army suddenly swooped down from high altitude!

The swooping firepower of 19 fighter planes instantly disrupted the Japanese formation.

Since the Eighth Route Army's aviation units were sparse in number, the first thing they targeted during the dive was the Japanese escort fighter unit.

Now the Little Devil's Zero fighter is the most likely threat to the Eighth Route Army Air Force's fighters. The 20mm cannon it carries is highly lethal against both J- fighter jets and Qiang- attack aircraft.

And 15 of the Little Devil's Zero lighters were directly killed in the Eighth Route Army's first round of dive strikes!
The original escort fleet of 40 aircraft now only has aircraft left.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's fighters and attack aircraft also began separate operations. The fighter units struggled with the Japanese fighter jets, while the attack aircraft units relied on heavy armor and 23mm cannons to harvest the Japanese bomber units.

After 20 minutes of fighting, the Eighth Route Army finally shot down all 25 Japanese fighter jets, but at this time there were only two Eighth Route Army fighter jets left.

In this air battle, the Japanese fighter force had an absolute numerical advantage. The Eighth Route Army soldiers could only rely on advanced aviation equipment to barely win.

Although the pilots of the Eighth Route Army Air Force have an aura of fearlessness of life and death, due to less training, they are still not as good as the air force pilots of the Red Police Force in terms of combat effectiveness.

Now the biggest gap between the Eighth Route Army Air Force pilots and the Red Police Air Force pilots is experience!

For the Eighth Route Army, the loss of 11 fighter jets was really painful, but under the current circumstances, the Eighth Route Army soldiers could never accept just their own pain.

If you want to hurt the little devil, you have to hurt him too!

So the remaining two fighter jets joined the team of six attack aircraft and began to encircle and suppress the Japanese bombers.

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Buzz~..."

As the Eighth Route Army Air Force opened fire frantically on the remaining Japanese bombers, the self-defense machine guns on the Japanese bombers also began a frantic counterattack.

However, the Little Devil's 7.7mm self-defense machine gun really has no deterrent effect against the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes.

Not to mention the so-called "air tank", this thing can't even penetrate the armor of a J-1 fighter jet!

Seeing his bombers being shot down one after another, the Japanese major general in charge couldn't sit still for a while. He stood up and looked at the battle situation in front of him and cursed "Baga".

The artillery battalion of the 343rd Brigade, which had just finished bombing on the ground, looked at the Japanese planes falling like flies, and immediately found an opportunity for revenge.

"Comrades! Gather immediately and deal with the little devil's pilots!"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who had been holding back their anger immediately responded and began to encircle and suppress the Japanese pilots.

Although the little devils are still attacking here crazily, this place is still within the control of the Eighth Route Army.

Although all the artillery pieces of the 85rd Brigade Artillery Battalion of the Eighth Route Army were blown up by Japanese aircraft, the small weapons and some transportation equipment such as trucks were brought out. There was even an mm cannon towed on the back of a truck!
It was so relaxing and enjoyable for these pilots to surround and suppress the little devils with firepower!
After all, in addition to the soldiers of the 343rd Brigade Artillery Battalion, there are also a large number of militia and guerrillas here.

The mission of these guerrillas was originally to harass the Japanese attacking troops along the way after the first line of defense fell. Unexpectedly, they first joined the encirclement and suppression operation against Japanese pilots. Although there are many planes shot down by the Jaap now, because the Jaap did not provide parachutes for the air crews, only a few of the Jaap bombers that made an emergency landing survived.

And these little devils don't know what they are about to face...

At the same time, the Japanese army's offensive operations on the frontal battlefield began again.

"Political Commissar, the Japs' attack has begun again!"

At this time, on the position of the New Fourth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, political commissar Wang Chuanjie frowned as he looked at the Japanese attacking troops in the distance.

The Japanese attack was changed to their original offensive method, using military units as the main force to steadily advance the Eighth Route Army's positions.

This combat mode is very mature within the Japanese army. Although it was very common at the time, it was the most effective means of combat and the most common means of combat.

As long as victory can be achieved, there is a market for any tactics!

Subsequently, a brigade of the Little Japanese immediately launched a full-scale attack.

In a brigade-level organization of the Little Devils, there is not only an artillery brigade, but also a tank regiment, so at this time the Little Devils still have armored units for accompanying support.

The battle among the frontline troops instantly became intense.

Now, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can only rely on their lives to fight. But even if the current Eighth Route Army can achieve an exchange ratio of 1:4, the number of the Eighth Route Army is still relatively limited.

All the supplementary troops from the rear have entered the army, and the little devil's troops even boarded the Eighth Route Army's position for a time.

Although in subsequent battles, the Eighth Route Army drove the Japs out of their positions, the occurrence of this situation not only demonstrated the Eighth Route Army's inability to succeed, but also caused a large number of casualties to the Eighth Route Army.

After holding on for 24 hours, the Japs' attack also began to pause, and at the same time they began to rest and recuperate the troops.

At this time, the four Class A regiments of the Eighth Route Army on the front line also received the order, and the four regiments also retreated backwards.

However, after 24 hours of hard fighting, the number of Eighth Route Army troops that had withdrawn from their positions was less than % of the original number, and the overall troop reduction was close to %. Among them, the soldiers of the two Type B regiments responsible for reinforcements were completely wiped out in this tragic defensive battle.

"Comrades, hurry up! Before the little devil can react, evacuate to the rear immediately!"

Just after Song Xianggui, the commander of the 18th Regiment, had just issued the order, an Eighth Route Army staff officer came over and reported: "Captain, all your previous instructions have been implemented, not only on the positions and in the tunnels, but also on every cat's ear hole." We have planted booby traps and explosives as a surprise for the little devils!"

Song Xianggui nodded when he heard the words, and then couldn't calm down for a long time as he looked at the place where countless comrades had thrown their heads and shed blood.

"Comrades, when we win, we will come back to see you!"

With that said, Song Xianggui, like the other soldiers, began to retreat towards the rear.

Meanwhile, inside the Japanese headquarters, the commander of the 105th Division of the Japanese devils was slapping the brigade commander in charge of the attack in the face.

During this day, almost all of the Japanese brigades responsible for the attack suffered casualties, and the fact that they were unable to take down the enemy's position despite the crazy number of casualties made the Japanese commander very angry.

There was such a huge disparity in strength, so many people died after fighting for a day, but they couldn't even penetrate the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army. It was really embarrassing!
"Baga! You idiot! I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't take over the positions of these Tubal groups, then you can just commit seppuku to thank the locusts!"

"Hai, General! I understand!"

With that said, the Japs Brigade leader immediately withdrew from the headquarters and prepared to lead his troops to launch the final attack on the Eighth Route Army positions.

However, what the little devil didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army troops, which were originally fierce and tenacious in combat, did not fire on them at this time, as if they had retreated without any disturbance.

"Nani? What is going on? What tricks are these gangsters going to do again?"

Subsequently, the Japanese brigade commander, who felt something was wrong, immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack and sent four teams to conduct reconnaissance of the locations of the four regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

After this group of little devils tiptoed into the Eighth Route Army's defensive position, they were immediately stunned by the empty position in front of them.

At first, these little devils did not believe that the Eighth Route Army was retreating, but after a period of investigation, they found that there was really no one in the Eighth Route Army's position!

So these Japanese squads immediately occupied their positions and waited for the arrival of the main force.

"Nani? Tubalu has really retreated?!"

"It's absolutely true, brigade commander! After our careful search, we found that there is no one on the Eighth Route Army's position, and there is nothing left for us."

The leader of the Japanese Brigade was overjoyed when he heard this, and then ordered the surrounding troops: "Quick! Order the troops to seize the Eighth Route Army position immediately, and then send a brigade of troops to pursue Tubal Road!"

"Hai! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"

After issuing the order, the little devil's brigade commander immediately led the main force to the Eighth Route Army's defensive position.

"Send a report to your Excellency, the division commander. Fortunately, our brigade lived up to its mission and finally captured the Eighth Route Army's defensive position. The remnants of the Eighth Route Army fled in panic. Our department is sending troops to pursue it. We will definitely wipe out all the remaining Eighth Route Army troops in the field!"

"Hai!"

After reporting to the division commander, the little devil's brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief.

His life is now saved.

I really didn’t expect this group of Tubalu to retreat at this moment!
At this moment, a kid ran over with a piece of paper.

"Captain of the brigade, there is a letter left on Tubal Road!"

The leader of the Japanese Brigade immediately took the letter and read it.

"You left a surprise for me? What surprise? What is the Eighth Route Army doing?"

Just when the leader of the Japanese Brigade was wondering, an observer from a nearby commanding heights, after confirming that all the main Japanese troops were on the position, immediately said to the detonator on the side: "Detonate!"

"boom!……"

A huge explosion instantly occurred on the original position of the Eighth Route Army!

What is the surprise of riding a horse? !
This horse-riding thing is called a surprise!
