Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 403 The mentality is broken!
Pingan County.

General Ridge.

The battle was in full swing at this time.

The Japanese planes have already launched a wave of bombing.

After firing for half an hour, each artillery group immediately stopped firing.

Not long after the artillery stopped firing, seven Japanese planes arrived.

But at this time, the artillery groups of the New 1st Regiment had been concealed with camouflage nets, and the Zhan Hu Company placed fake heavy artillery on the top of the hill.

As soon as the Japanese planes arrived, they immediately dived down towards the fake artillery position on the top of the hill.

A bombing as fierce as a tiger.

The Japanese planes bombed another artillery regiment and an artillery battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, the first anti-aircraft battalion stationed around the fake artillery position opened fire and shot down another fighter and a bomber.

The 2th Flying Squadron was left with only 3 fighters, 2 bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.

The new regiment headquarters.

"Commander, more than half of the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement have been killed or wounded. We have completely surrounded them!"

Zhang Dabiao reported to Li Yunlong with sharp eyes.

Li Yunlong raised the telescope and looked in the direction of the two surrounded Japanese regiments.

The sound of gunfire and artillery fire was deafening. The Japanese launched a frantic counterattack, trying to break out of the encirclement, but were suppressed by the troops of the New 1st Regiment.

If a regiment of the Japanese devils were to gather together, their combat effectiveness would naturally be extraordinary.

But at this time, the Japanese soldiers who had managed to survive the bombardment were divided and surrounded.

Naturally, it is difficult to highlight the cemetery that Li Yunlong carefully selected for the Guards Mixed Brigade.

"Should we order the troops to launch a general attack?"

"Completely wipe out the Japanese in the encirclement?"

Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong, whose figure seemed somewhat majestic in his eyes, and asked.

"How is the battle situation at Shaohukou and Majiapo?" Li Yunlong asked.

"We've recaptured the frontier positions!" Zhang Dabiao answered succinctly. "The enemy is currently unable to break through the Shaohukou and Majiapo defense lines!"

"Order the troops first not to launch a general attack." Li Yunlong turned his head and looked in another direction. "Look at Cuijiazhuang. The Japanese and puppet troops are attacking the Cuijiazhuang position recklessly. Let the 2nd Anti-Aircraft Battalion kill more of them. This way, our second phase of the battle will be much easier!"

Although the main force of the Guards Mixed Brigade did not enter the ambush circle.

But judging from the fact that the Japanese attacked the Cuijiazhuang defense line at all costs.

Li Yunlong speculated that the commander of the Guards Brigade might be inside the encirclement.

"Captain, this is a brilliant move!"

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up. "It's like fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait. As long as there is a Japanese soldier from the mixed brigade of the Imperial Guards in our encirclement, the enemy on Jiangjunling will definitely come to our rescue at all costs."

The New 1st Regiment hid a large amount of ammunition in the tunnels on the mountain next to Cuijiazhuang in advance.

The 2nd Anti-Aircraft Battalion is there, so there is no need to worry about running out of ammunition in the short term.

"hey-hey…"

Li Yunlong said, "The commander of the Second Air Defense Battalion just reported that the Air Defense Battalion has killed approximately 2,000 enemies. The crossfire composed of machine guns and anti-aircraft guns directly reduced the Japanese and puppet troops to pieces."

"Look, Da Biao, what the hell is that?"

Suddenly, Li Yunlong saw something floating a few hundred meters above Jiangjunling through the telescope.

Zhang Dabiao took out the artillery telescope, observed it for a while and said, "Commander, it looks like the Japanese observation balloon, used to observe our artillery positions."

"Damn it!" Li Yunlong was furious. "Go, order the 2nd Air Defense Battalion to shoot that damn thing down."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao quickly went to convey the order.

...At the Cuijiazhuang position, the main force responsible for fighting the Japanese was the 2th Company of the 5nd Anti-Aircraft Battalion.

Air Defense Company 4 is responsible for air defense missions, and Air Defense Company 6 serves as the reserve force.

In addition, there is a mortar company equipped with 16 82mm mortars to provide artillery support and suppression from a distance.

If the situation is urgent, you can also call on various artillery groups to provide artillery support.

只一个防空5连，就以损失1门40毫米高射炮，3门20毫米高射炮，和5挺高射机枪的代价。

The enemy's three attacks were repelled, and about two thousand Japanese and puppet troops were killed or wounded.

These losses were mainly caused by the Japanese field artillery and mountain artillery.

The Japanese light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, direct machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were suppressed.

The Japanese infantry guns and mortars were also suppressed by the mortar company.

As for the Japanese's 75mm mountain guns and field guns, they were suppressed by the New 105st Regiment's 152mm howitzers and mm howitzers!
In addition, the New 1st Regiment also built tunnels on the mountain of Cuijiazhuang. When the Japanese fired artillery, the soldiers hid in the tunnels with their weapons. When the Japanese infantry began to attack, they crawled out of the tunnels with their weapons and fired at the Japanese.

"Captain, the casualty statistics are out."

The platoon leader of the 5th Air Defense Company quickly walked over to Captain Wang and reported to him:
"32 soldiers were killed and 65 were injured, 42 of whom were slightly injured and can still fight!"

While the Japanese were being repelled and had no chance to fire, the fifth company commander asked the platoon leader next to him to count the casualties.

"understood."

Captain Wang nodded. He knew that his troops had not suffered many casualties, but he did not expect that the casualty situation was much more optimistic than he thought!
There were also some puppet soldiers who lay on the battlefield pretending to be dead, not daring to go back or run over to surrender.

It was estimated that the enemy suffered 2,000 casualties, while our own casualties were about 100, a casualty ratio of 20 to 1.

outrageous...

He was also a veteran of the Red Army, but this was the first time he had encountered such an outrageous casualty ratio.

A signalman came running over:

"Captain Wang, the battalion commander has ordered you to shoot down the enemy's observation balloons."

"Observation balloon?" Captain Wang looked up and found a balloon slowly rising in the sky in the direction of Jiangjunling. There was a hanging basket hanging under the balloon. The soldiers of the 5th Company were almost all focused on the ground and did not see the Japanese balloon rising.

"Artillery Mirror!"

Captain Wang gave the order loudly with a cold expression:

"Distance measurement!"

"40 anti-aircraft guns each, ready, target, enemy observation balloons!"

The soldier in charge of measuring the distance shouted loudly: "Distance 4200."

Captain Wang: "Distance 4200, high-explosive bombs, fire!"

"Boom boom…"

At his command, chains of ammunition suddenly rose into the air, like the whip of the god of death, lashing towards the observation balloon in the direction of Jiangjunling.

At this distance, the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun could not reach the Japanese observation balloon.

However, the 40mm anti-aircraft gun produced by the system has a maximum firing height of 5 kilometers.

Generally speaking, if the weather is good, the Japanese artillery observers on the observation balloon can see artillery positions more than ten kilometers away.

But the weather was bad today. In order to accurately see the location of the Eighth Route Army artillery positions, the Japanese balloon soldiers had to raise observation balloons about 3 kilometers away from the battlefield.

与此同时，防空2营4连和6连的16门40毫米高射炮，一齐向鬼子气球开火。

Under the continuous fire of 23 40mm anti-aircraft guns, the Japanese observation balloon was hit at a position of about 400 meters. The Japanese artillery observer on the hanging basket fell from mid-air with a scream and was smashed into a meat paste.

"idiot!"

"Nani?"

When Takeshi Sakurada and Mitake Tsuda saw this scene, their eyes widened and their mood sank to the bottom.

The two old Japanese soldiers' mentality collapsed.
