Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 734 Chapter 733, Bombing
Not finished, there are repeated words

The telegraph is a good thing. As soon as Yangquan was captured and the number of warehouses seized was confirmed, the news could be reported by radio waves. For example, at this time, the headquarters was full of jubilation because they received this good news.

Bang... The chief's thick palms were placed on the table, making the big teacup sway a bit. "Well done! Haha, Li Yunlong, this idiot, is really brave. Right under the nose of the cabinet, he robbed someone else's artillery battalion and turned the mountain artillery to blow up the Japanese... Hahaha, this year, there is nothing funnier than this!"

"Commander, you'd better not be too proud. Our people at the Japanese Taiyuan Airport reported that 24 Japanese bombers took off and headed southeast," said the deputy chief of staff.

"The Japanese are seeking revenge... Well, we have no air defense capability, so we can only bear it! Has the situation been reported?" asked the deputy commander-in-chief.

"Now that the notice has been sent out, we hope that our comrades can suffer fewer casualties!" The deputy chief of staff said with a heavy tone.

"Well, if we get the news in advance, we can make some preparations! By the way, that Xiao Li is there too, right? He is the one commanding the siege? Send another telegram to Yangquan, and Peregrine Falcon will go back to the arsenal immediately! He is a good military engineer, why would he go to the front line to command the battle? Although he is a good commander, his use is not here!" said the deputy commander-in-chief.

"Haha, although his position is not over there, his command ability is still good, especially the coordinated operations of infantry, running and tanks. He has now applied the theory into practice. Well, it's just that the tanks are a little bit lacking." The deputy chief of staff gave a good evaluation in a joking tone.

"Then let everyone who participated in this siege write a report on their experience, summarizing the shortcomings and advantages of this kind of coordinated operations. This will also provide us with practical data for large-scale tank equipment in the future. By the way, it will also accumulate some talents who have participated in actual combat! Well, Xiao Li did a good job in this regard. It seems that the peregrine falcon flies fast, and there is still a reason, haha..."

The telegram was quickly delivered to Yangquan and Ping'an County, so the convoy that was preparing to set off temporarily stopped and waited until the bombing was over. In the direction of Yangquan, seeing that 30 trucks were fully loaded with ammunition, the comrades in charge of driving immediately drove out of the city and asked the comrades outside the city to camouflage the trucks with branches and park them in the woods outside the city.

At this time, don't even think about transporting the goods all the way south, just keep the goods first! The Japanese bombers are coming, no one can stop them, it all depends on where the Japanese bombers choose to drop the bombs.

Li Yuexuan naturally received the telegram, and he received two telegrams. One was naturally the telegram about the bombers coming, and the other was asking him to go back to Liangjia Village.

"Let's not worry about going back now. Now, Guo Zhongmin, take your people and quickly find combustibles in the city. Make a fire at every street entrance to create smoke! Damn it, if the Japanese know that Yangquan has been occupied, they will most likely bomb the city! In addition, after you light the fire, let your comrades stay behind with a small group, and move the main force outside the city!"

After Li Yuexuan finished speaking, he led the special forces and the quick reaction company out of the city to the north, intending to hide in the mountains and forests here. Similarly, Li Yunlong's independent regiment also dispersed, leaving most of the troops outside the city, leaving only about a few hundred troops in the city.

Before everyone arrived, the roar of bombers could be heard from afar. Of course, at this time, fires were lit both inside and outside the city, and then water was poured on them artificially, so that Zhenger Yangquan was shrouded in smoke. Li Yuexuan looked from the northern mountain and saw a thin layer of smoke above the entire city, while outside the city was dense smoke.

"At this level, the heart and lungs are likely to get sick..." Li Yuexuan sighed secretly, and then continued to lurk in the forest. Woo hum... The reconnaissance plane in front of the bomber dived down, shuttled through the mist and thick fog, and after passing through the smoke area, it left a clear trace behind.

Perhaps the Japanese had a plan in place, or perhaps they had no specific direction, the bombers in the sky were divided into four waves, diving and dropping bombs in the city, south, west, and east respectively.

It is not to be mentioned that the Japanese air force was much more convenient to command after the newly installed radio station. In such a chaotic bombing direction, there was no collision accident in the chaos. This is better than many great powers in later generations...

Woo-ang... chirp chirp... boom boom boom... the Japanese planes dived, dropped bombs, and pulled up. The bombs behind them exploded, creating a large cloud of black smoke and dust, making the smoke above the entire city even thicker. As for the effect of the Japanese bombing? No one knows now, not even how many casualties there were.

But judging from the occasional flashes of fire in the city, it was certain that a fire had broken out in the city! Casualties? That could only be counted afterwards!
At this time, the air in the city was filled with the smell of blood, barbecue, unpleasant burning smells of hair and blood, and the smell of various burning woods... In short, the smell was very strong and very suffocating.

The fires outside the city had long been extinguished and burned out in the bombing, so no one cared about the situation outside the city, and the independent regiment's troops began to return to the city one after another.

Rumble... The convoy hiding in the woods east of the city drove back, and after avoiding the bomb craters, it headed towards Ping'an County.

At this time, some soldiers who were responsible for setting fires in the smoke area also became busy. They searched near their comrades' anti-artillery pits, looking for those surviving comrades.

That’s right, among the soldiers of the First Battalion, some were responsible for lighting the fire, but after the fire was lit, they had no time to rush out of the smoke area. They could only hide in the anti-artillery pits and let luck decide their lives.

As they searched one place after another and some of the people who had been knocked unconscious woke up and joined the search team, the casualties of the large group were first reported to Guo Zhongmin.

After reading the report, the usually optimistic Lao Guo felt a little depressed. In just one bombing, he directly lost 57 soldiers, and they were the kind that could not be found directly, which made him extremely depressed. When the report was handed to Li Yuexuan, Li Yuexuan was silent for a minute, and then said: "Let's erect a monument for these comrades, write down their names, and on the day of liberation, engrave their names on the monument again! Although they did not sacrifice in the fierce battle, they were protecting more people."

Everyone heard it and nodded in agreement. Although there were no combatants on the battlefield at that time, the clear sky gave the Japanese bombers the opportunity and conditions to find the hidden team. At worst, the Japanese could accurately find the warehouses in the city and bomb them all...
