Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 347 Shoot it down! This is impossible!

Below the flying formation, in the New 1st Regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong was secretly observing with an eight-fold telescope.

Seeing three Japanese planes flying away, Li Yunlong's face darkened slightly, thinking that the Japanese were trying to escape.

But soon, the three Japanese planes turned around and came back, gradually lowering their altitude, and their faces showed joy again.

As expected, the old Japanese soldier Yamawaki Masataka was fooled.

Li Yunlong first showed his tanks and howitzers, and then quickly pulled the tanks and howitzers under the camouflage net.

The purpose was to attract the Japanese planes to descend so that Yamawaki Masataka could observe them carefully.

"Keep calm, all artillery positions will fire at the same time upon command, and aim at the Japanese transport planes." Li Yunlong said sternly.

"Captain, do you want to give the orders or should I?" Wei Daxun asked from the side.

"You should do it." Seeing the Japanese planes approaching quickly, Li Yunlong said, "You are a professional in shooting down planes. You will give the orders when to open fire and when to cease fire."

"Yes." Wei Daxun ordered the telephone operator to bring the phone over. He grabbed the receiver with one hand and put it to his ear, while holding a telescope in the other hand to observe the flight route and altitude of the Japanese plane.

As soon as the Japanese planes reached the right position, they immediately gave the order to open fire.

……

"General, it's really a tank. I saw it, and there are also howitzers."

In the sky, in a Japanese transport plane, Lieutenant Colonel Miyagawa put down his binoculars and said in an incredible tone.

After the plane descended to a certain height, half of a tank and a howitzer were seen from the side, exposed from under the camouflage net.

Of course, this was a "flaw" that Li Yunlong deliberately revealed.

"It's hard to believe," said Yamawaki Masataka, his face solemn. "The Eighth Route Army in these mountain valleys are actually equipped with tanks and howitzers. No wonder the 108th Division was nearly annihilated."

"General," the crew member came over and said, "The pilot said this altitude is too dangerous. Should we climb immediately?"

"Raise the height immediately!" Yamawaki Masataka nodded.

"Hi." The crew immediately went to convey the order.

Yamawaki Masataka said, "Miyagawa-kun, immediately mark this location on the map. Once you arrive in Taiyuan, report to the North China Front Command and request that an air force be dispatched to bomb this area."

Yamawaki Masataka then called the crew and ordered, "Have the pilots fly around Mengxian County to see if there are any other Eighth Route Army barracks."

"Miyagawa-kun, please write down the locations of the Eighth Route Army camps..."

At this moment, Yamawaki Masataka noticed that the crew member in front of him looked outside the cabin and his expression changed drastically. He quickly turned his head to look outside.

"Nani!"

When Yamawaki Masataka saw the scene outside the window, his face changed instantly and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Outside the window, there were dense orange-red ballistic missiles, as numerous as hail, flying diagonally past the plane.

"leave here!"

Yamawaki Masataka roared loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire fuselage of the transport plane began to shake violently as if it had been hit by hail.

The Japanese soldiers in the cabin witnessed a horrific scene with their own eyes. The left wing was hit by a bullet belt and was instantly cut off as if by a knife. The plane lost balance and fell diagonally downward.

If the wing is hit by machine gun bullets or rifle bullets, there may just be a few more bullet holes on the wing, but if it is hit by a 20mm artillery shell, the wing can be torn apart in an instant.

Under the dense anti-aircraft firepower, Yamawaki Masataka's plane was hit continuously, both wings were blown off, the cockpit was also hit, and the two pilots were blown to pieces. A shell hit the fuel tank, and it fell to the ground with a bang and exploded again.

Seeing this scene, the Japanese pilots in the two Nakajima fighter planes quickly pulled their planes into the clouds, but one of the fighters was also affected and made a turn to cover the injured fighter and flew towards the Dagu Village Airport.

If the escort target is shot down, there is no need to go to Taiyuan again.

"Wei Daxun, you're a damn good fighter!"

On the ground, in the New 1st Regiment's air defense command post, Li Yunlong watched the Japanese transport plane crash, his lips curled up. Sun Desheng had already led the cavalry battalion to the area quickly, but there was a high probability that they would not gain anything, as the Japanese were burned to ashes.

Wei Daxun personally arranged the positions of all the machine guns and drew a firepower map and reported it to Li Yunlong.

"Pity."

Wei Daxun stared at the direction where the Japanese fighter plane left, with a look of pity on his face:
"Two of them ran away. These are six mountain cannons."

"Haha..." Li Yunlong laughed out loud with his characteristic voice, "The big fish stay and the small fish and shrimp slip away."

"Pass my order to move all the tanks and howitzers into the air-raid shelters."

"It won't be long before the Japanese planes launch a retaliatory bombing!"

As soon as the Japanese soldiers raised their butts, Li Yunlong knew what they were going to do.

A major general was killed yesterday, and a lieutenant general was killed today. The Japanese had no means of retaliation and could only send planes to bomb.

Operations Staff: "Yes."

……

3pm.

Shimen City.

Headquarters of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army.

Sangmu Chongming had just returned from Dagu Village Airport and rested for a while before preparing to deal with military affairs.

"Division Commander."

At this moment, Saburo Nakamura walked into the division headquarters with red eyes.

Obviously, the chief of staff of the 110th Division, who was highly valued by Sangmu Chongming, was in extreme grief and anger at this time. It seemed that an important person had died, so his expression was out of control.

"Mr. Nakamura, what happened?" Sangmu Chongming guessed that there might be bad news from the homeland, or perhaps Colonel Nakamura's relatives had passed away.

Saburo Nakamura said with tears in his eyes: "Division Commander, Lieutenant General Yamawaki..."

Sangmu Chongming's heart sank to the bottom, but he still stood up with a glimmer of hope and asked, "What happened to Lieutenant General Yamawaki?"

"Lieutenant General Yamawaki's plane...was attacked by Eighth Route Army anti-aircraft artillery while passing over Meng County...Lieutenant General Yamawaki...died in battle."

"What!" Sangmu Chongming's voice suddenly rose, his face full of disbelief, "Impossible!"

He had just sent his friend on the plane at two o'clock, and only an hour had passed when he heard the news of his friend's death. It was hard for him to accept and he felt extremely sad.

Saburo Nakamura said, "The escort pilots have returned, and one of the pilots and one of the planes are injured."

"idiot!"

Sang Mu Chongming furiously drew out his lieutenant general's sword and slashed wildly:

"Li Yunlong, you killed my friend. I, Sangmu Chongming, will kill you!"

……

Taiyuan.

First Army Headquarters.

Yamamoto Ikki and Shinozuka Yoshio are playing chess again.

Kasai Toshimatsu walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and reported:
"General, the North China Front Command just sent a telegram saying that the new commander, Lieutenant General Yamawaki, had his plane shot down by Eighth Route Army anti-aircraft guns over Mengxian County. Lieutenant General Yamawaki has died."

"Nani!"

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly turned his head, unable to believe it.

Yamamoto Ikki also stood up suddenly. The new commander of the First Army actually died halfway through?
