Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 479 Something big happened!

On the other side, the Japanese cavalry artillery squadron fired several rounds of artillery shells after pre-firing.

This caused some casualties to the soldiers of the Chongpo Camp.

However, it was soon strafed by an incoming helicopter. Wherever the bullet belt swept through, smoke and dust filled the air and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Although Boss Lin’s plane will not actively attack the Japanese.

However, if Boss Lin's plane was attacked by the Japanese, he would fight back.

The powerful firepower of the Gatling gun directly turned the Japanese into minced meat!

"Nani?"

This scene stunned the eyes of the Japanese cavalry in the distance!

Under the cover of the helicopter, Wang Chengzhu and the artillerymen quickly boarded the helicopter with the wounded.

Flying towards northwest Shanxi.

Not long after, the Japanese cavalry brigade and the Japanese large army arrived at the original platform on the top of the mountain.

Major General Katagiri Shigeru, commander of the cavalry brigade, stared gloomily at the direction where the Eighth Route Army left.

At this time, the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, Abe Nobuhide, the Japanese army's mountain warfare expert, also arrived.

"Katagiri-kun, where is the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery?"

Abe Nobuhide asked in a deep voice.

"Ran."

Katagiri Shigeru replied coldly with two words.

"Actually ran away?"

"Then why don't you cavalry brigade give chase?"

Abe Nobuhide said coldly.

The other party's attitude was cold, and his tone also turned cold.

I am an expert in mountain warfare and one of the most famous generals in the empire. Who do you think you are, Shigeru Katagiri? How dare you look down on me, Nobuhide Abe?
"The Eighth Route Army escaped by plane. Do my cavalry have to grow wings and fly into the sky to chase them?"

Katagiri Shigeru snorted coldly.

Not long after, the news of the Eighth Route Army artillery unit's escape reached the headquarters of the Mongolian Army.

"Nani?"

Lieutenant General Hasunumaban suddenly stood up with an expression of disbelief on his face. He angrily drew out the Lieutenant General's sword bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Locust Emperor and chopped the table in front of him into pieces.

What made him angry was that the Eighth Route Army artillery unit attacked Zhangjiakou Airport within a dozen kilometers of Zhangjiakou.

Not only did Zhangjiakou Airport suffer heavy losses, but the newly established 21st Flying Regiment was also severely damaged.

And, most importantly, the other party pretended to be awesome and then ran away!
This is a great shame for the troops stationed in Mongolia!

Immediately, Hasunuma asked Abe Nobuhide for details and learned that the Eighth Route Army was picked up by a plane.

This made Lian Numa Fan furious again.

Finally, Hasunuma asked about Takeda Isamu's condition and learned that he was only injured.

"Ishimoto-kun, report this situation to the North China Front Command immediately."

Hasunuma Fan took a deep breath and looked at the Chief of Staff, Colonel Ishimoto Tora-san. "The Eighth Route Army is likely to use this method to attack Datong Airport and Beiping Airport."

"Hi."

Ishimoto Toranozo lowered his head, dialed the phone number of the North China Front Army Headquarters in Peiping directly, and reported the matter.

After a moment, Colonel Ishimoto covered the phone and said to Hasunuma, "Commander-in-Chief, General Sugiyama wants to speak to you."

Hasunuma Fan walked over quickly, grabbed the receiver, and put it to his ear: "Moshimoshi, Your Excellency the General."

"Hasunuma-kun, Datong Airport was also bombarded in the early morning."

The voice of General Sugiyama Motomu came from the phone.

"What?" Hasunuma Fan was startled and asked hurriedly, "What's the damage?"

Datong Airport is home to the 1st Flying Regiment, one of the most elite aviation units of our country. It is composed entirely of experienced elite pilots, including several ace pilots.

If something happened to the 1st Flying Regiment, the consequences would be disastrous.

"The enemy used heavy artillery, firing over a thousand shells at Datong Airport from ten kilometers away. All the planes of the 1st Aircraft Regiment were destroyed, and more than half of the pilots were injured or killed."

"Major General Zhongjun Shengxiao, die with honor."

Sugiyama Gen's angry tone was about to overflow from the phone receiver.

However, Hasunuma Ban was going to be transferred to Tianhuang's side, so Sugiyama Gen suppressed his anger.

After asking about Takeda Isamu's situation, he was ready to hang up the phone.

"General, please wait a moment!"

Hasunuma Fan suddenly said, "Please immediately transfer the 3rd Aircraft Regiment to the outside of the Great Wall. In case the Eighth Route Army sends aircraft to transport artillery units nearby..."

"understood."

Beiping.

North China Front Army Headquarters.

After Sugiyama Gen finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap, then drew out his general's sword and angrily chopped the phone into pieces.

In just one morning, the two flying regiments were almost wiped out, and even Sugiyama Gen felt his heart bleeding!

"Order the 3rd Air Group to the Kwantung Army Airfield!"

"immediately!"

Sugiyama Gen looked at Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomoyuki with a cold gaze.

The 3rd Flying Regiment was the main force of the North China Front Air Corps, consisting of three flying squadrons and three flying squadrons, with more than one hundred aircraft and nearly 200 pilots.

If the 3rd Flying Regiment was also destroyed, he, the commander of the North China Front Army, would probably have to resign.

"Hi."

Yamashita Tomoyuki did not dare to delay and quickly went to convey the order.

...Taiyuan.

inner city.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

"Your Excellency the Commander, the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment and the 9th Brigade have been deployed near the Wusu Airport and are waiting for the arrival of the 21st Flying Regiment." Mutaguchi Ren'ya reported to Shinozuka Yoshio.

In order to prevent intelligence leaks, Sugiyama Gen and Yamashita Tomoyuki of the North China Front Army Command deployed artillery units around the Wusu Airport in advance to carry out attacks and sabotage.

and so.

Early this morning, Sugiyama Gen also gave the order to the First Army Headquarters to take over the 21st Flying Regiment.

After receiving the order, Yoshio Shinozuka and Hajime Sugiyama immediately transferred the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment and the 9th Brigade to Wusu Airport for guard.

"Yoshi."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded with satisfaction.

Because the Xincheng Airport outside the north of Taiyuan City was continuously bombarded by the Eighth Route Army, the First Army's flying squadron suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka directly ordered the construction of a Wusu Airport about 10 kilometers southeast of Taiyuan City.

In addition, 100 concrete hangars were built at the airport, each of which could withstand the bombardment of 105 shells.

Even the oil depot and ammunition depot were built underground, ten meters from the ground. They were reinforced with concrete and steel bars and could withstand attacks from heavy bombs.

Moreover, the pilots' dormitories are all built with reinforced concrete. There are bunkers and watchtowers within a radius of five kilometers, and the range of checkpoints and patrol alerts has been expanded to ten kilometers. It can be said that the defense has been perverted to the extreme.

This was designed by Yoshio Shinozuka himself. He was very satisfied with his masterpiece of Wusu Airport.

snort!
If you, Li Yunlong, can bombard my Wusu Airport, I, Shinozuka Yoshio, will eat shit!
"Also, Mr. Yamamoto has led a special forces team to Wusu Airport to protect Major General Takeda Isamu on his way to Taiyuan Headquarters."

Mutaguchi Ren'ya continued his report.

He felt relieved. No matter how powerful you, Yamamoto Ikki, are, you are just a bodyguard.

"Major General Takeda Isamu is a genius in the bombing world of our country and one of our country's most famous generals. We should indeed send a strategic-level force to protect him."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded with satisfaction.

According to incomplete statistics, Takeda Isamu led the 54th Squadron and destroyed at least two heavy artillery divisions and two tank regiment-level troops of the New st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

If it weren't for Takeda Isamu, the First Army would probably be in big trouble now.

Two heavy artillery divisions and two tank regiments. Even Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army could not provide so many tanks and heavy artillery.

Moreover, once the 21st Flying Regiment arrives in Taiyuan, it will be under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka.

In the past, Takeda Isamu could cause such heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army by leading more than 20 planes.

now.

Major General Isamu Takeda led more than 70 aircraft and more than 100 pilots, and I am afraid that he would have achieved even greater military exploits.

At that time, the merit of the 21st Flying Regiment destroying the Eighth Route Army tanks and artillery units will belong to me, Yoshio Shinozuka.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but feel a little excited and expectant.

With Major General Takeda Isamu around, it doesn't seem difficult to wash away the shame of the First Army.

At this moment, communications staff officer Kasai Toshimatsu rushed in with a telegram in his hand and reported.

"General, something big has happened!"

"I just received an urgent telegram from General Sugiyama Moto, commander of the North China Front Army."

"The 1st and 21st Aircraft Regiments were attacked by the Eighth Route Army's artillery this morning. Over 100 aircraft were destroyed. Major General Nakaguni Moritaka was killed, and Major General Takeda Isamu was injured..."

"Nani?"

After hearing the report, Yoshio Shinozuka and Ren'ya Mutaguchi were stunned as if they were electrocuted.

Datong Airport is protected by the 26th Division and the 28th Brigade. Its defense is abnormal. How could it be bombarded?
In addition, Zhangjiakou Airport is more than 250 kilometers away from Ping'an County in northwestern Shanxi, and Li Yunlong is out of reach. The 21st Flying Regiment should be very safe at Zhangjiakou Airport, so how could it be bombarded?

A series of doubts made Yoshio Shinozuka's brows almost twisted together.

"idiot!"

In the end, he couldn't figure it out and could only curse angrily.

At this time, if you ask General Sugiyama Moto, who is already angry, you will definitely be scolded.

More than ten minutes later, we arrived at Wusu Airport.

Yamamoto Ikki was disheveled in the wind. No matter what time it was, Yamamoto's face always had a cold and vigilant expression, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Yamamoto felt humiliated that he had to serve as a bodyguard for a strategic-level special forces team.

It would have been fine if the person being protected was a general or lieutenant general, but the other party was only a major general, which made Yamamoto very unhappy.

Although the other party has been very popular recently and is a dozen years younger than him, he is known as a bombing expert and one of the most famous generals in his country, which makes Yamamoto very envious and jealous.

However, Yamamoto Ikki noticed some clues from the photos submitted by Takeda Isamu.

It seems that what Takeda Isamu's troops blew up were not real tanks and cannons, but most likely inflatable weapons.

He had seen this weapon when he was studying at the German Special Forces Military Academy.

The Germans had already developed this thing a long time ago, but almost all Japanese troops didn't know about it.

but.

Yamamoto Ikki did not make it public, as his immediate superior, Yoshio Shinozuka, and General Hajime Sugiyama, commander of the North China Front Army, both needed these military achievements.

If it weren't for these military achievements, Yoshio Shinozuka and he would have been demoted and returned to their homeland to join the reserve forces long ago.

A ground staff member ran over quickly and asked Yamamoto Ikki to go to the phone booth to answer the call.

Soon, Yamamoto Ikki came back after answering the phone, and said with a somewhat grim expression: "Send the order, return to the headquarters."

"Colonel, what happened?"

The adjutant Captain Goro Kodoka asked curiously.

"The 21st Flying Regiment was bombarded, and one of our country's most famous generals nearly died at Zhangjiakou Airport."

Yamamoto Ikki showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
