Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1275 Bloody Battle in Linfen (First update!)

Fortunately for Xiong Changhe, the three Devil planes circling over Linfen did not drop bombs.

After going back and forth five times, it flew away, leaving nothing behind.

"Chief of staff, the head of the regiment has an urgent call!" Suddenly, the operator rushed in.

Xiong Changhe next to him immediately asked: "Chief of Staff, what did the commander say? Did the devil come to kill him!"

Xiong Changhe replied angrily: "Old Xiong, you are really a crow's mouth, so you are right!"

"A strengthened regiment of the Japanese army hastily marched towards Linfen City, and it will be able to exchange fire with our troops outside the city in half an hour at most!"

On the other side, Xiao Yunshan frowned quickly!
"So fast? Chief of Staff, this is not good news!"

"The devils rushed to Linfen City more than an hour earlier and attacked us. The purpose is very obvious, to maximize the utilization rate of their aircraft reinforcements. Use more aircraft to consume us, kill us, and take Linfen City from us!"

"Not bad!" Xiong Changhe affirmed.

"The head of the group also had this worry, and then sent us a telegram to send us a solution!"

Xiao Yunshan's frowning brows relaxed immediately, and he asked eagerly, "What can I do?"

"Two ways!" Xiong Changhe affirmed.

"The anti-aircraft battalion has already arrived outside the city, and the head of the regiment asked us to send people out to meet it!"

"The anti-aircraft battalion has more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns in total, which will definitely pose a great threat to the Devil's planes! Xiong Changhe, you go to meet them, and then cooperate with them to set up empty positions!"

"The second method is smoke, and it needs to be thick black smoke. It is best to cover the entire sky above the battlefield. In this case, even if the devils have planes, they will not be able to accurately drop bombs on us, unless they choose to drop bombs at low altitudes. However, As long as they do this, the air defense battalion that is about to enter the city will definitely teach them a big lesson!"

"The two methods complement each other and combine with each other. They will definitely minimize the threat of the Devil's plane to us!"

"Xiao Yunshan, you can arrange this matter, it's best to dedicate two companies to this matter!"

"In addition, the regiment leader asked us to arrange all the troops outside the city into the city, rely on the city wall to attack the devils, minimize the scope of the battlefield, and create more thick smoke to obscure the sight of the devil pilots, so that they can't carry out high-altitude bombing!"

In a reinforced concrete blockhouse one kilometer outside Linfen City, Lieutenant General Kato stood behind the shooting holes on the second floor, holding his binoculars and staring at Linfen City motionlessly, with a gloomy face.

The face of the chief of staff next to him was also very ugly.

After hesitating for a long time, he replied: "Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning to cover the battlefield with thick smoke. In this way, the threat of the Royal Air Force to them will be much smaller, and there is no way to carry out precise bombing!"

Lieutenant General Kato replied with a sullen face: "The Eighth Route Army is indeed more cunning than we imagined."

"However, the Imperial Army is not a vegetarian either. The air force cannot drop bombs precisely at high altitudes. They can drop bombs at low altitudes with better accuracy!"

"In addition to aviation, we also have artillery! Although there is no heavy artillery, the remaining mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars are also very powerful!"

"Now we have aviation cover, and the Eighth Route Army dare not use the artillery. What we have to do is to seize this opportunity, use all the power of the remaining artillery in our hands, try to kill the Eighth Route Army in the city, kill them, and take Linfen City! "

After finishing speaking, he ordered without waiting for the chief of staff to speak.

"The plan remains the same, the attack will be launched in 5 minutes, and Linfen City will be captured in two hours!"

"There are not many Eighth Route Army in the city, as long as our offensive is strong enough, we can definitely do it."

"Da da da... bang bang bang..."

Gunshots and explosions soon enveloped the entire battlefield.

More than ten mountain cannons, more than 20 infantry cannons, plus three times the number of mortars, the shells were thrown on the city without money.

It didn't take long for the top of the city to be covered by intense artillery fire.

The fireball mixed with billowing smoke rose into the sky, and black smoke columns rose into the sky, intertwined with the black smoke made by the defenders themselves, and formed one piece. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud rising from the sky. When it is pressed down, it will cover the sky and block out the sun, giving people a feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city.

However, no matter how fierce the devil's artillery fire was, the more than 20 fixed firepower points on the top of the city were not destroyed.

Bullets rained out of the city, sweeping the attacking Japanese troops to the ground.

More than 100 meters outside the city, two to three hundred corpses have fallen here and there.

"Division commander, I can't charge anymore~ The dozens of firepower points on the city wall must be permanent firepower points, and our cannons can't be blown up at all. With such a fierce blocking firepower, as long as they have enough ammunition, no matter how many of our attacking troops will They were completely killed!" The chief of staff reminded with a painful face.

Commander Kato's heart is also bleeding.

The battle started less than 10 minutes before the real storm began, and the two infantry squadrons were gone.

He couldn't imagine how many people would be left in the infantry regiment he brought if he continued to fight at such a loss rate.

Gritting his teeth, he ordered: "The troops stop attacking..."

"The air force immediately bombed the Eighth Route Army firepower points on the city wall, destroy them for me!"

"Buzzing..."

The reaction speed of the aircraft was very fast. As soon as the attacking troops were withdrawn, the huge engine roared.

A plane slowly lowered its altitude and rushed towards the city where the smoke was billowing.

Seeing that the plane was about to rush to the top of the city, when it was about to drop bombs.

A series of dull machine gun fires suddenly sounded from the top of the city, and then eight or nine anti-aircraft fire appeared on the top of the city filled with gunpowder smoke.

So much firepower was concentrated on the plane less than 200 meters from the ground. Lieutenant General Kato held up the binoculars and could clearly see several bullets penetrating the fuselage, leaving a row of bullet holes on the plane.

The pilot was also frightened by the sudden anti-aircraft fire, regardless of whether he aimed at the target or not, he pressed the bomb button and pulled up the aircraft joystick to start climbing.

There was cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes were fixed on the front, and the plane dodged left and right to avoid the anti-aircraft fire fired at him from the ground.

200 meters... 300 meters...

Seeing that the plane was about to rush out of the effective range of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and the pilot couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief, there were a few crackling sounds from the plane's engine, and then the high-speed running plane's engine stopped turning, and popped out. A puff of black smoke.

"idiot!"

Desperate, the pilot cursed loudly.

After feeling that the plane had changed from climbing to free falling, although he was not reconciled, he still pressed the escape button decisively and made the decision to parachute to escape!
