Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

The air force power of Su Zheng's Tiger Regiment really shocked the general and the deputy chief of general staff.

After all, no one would have expected that the Tiger Guards' Air Force would have ten fighter planes.

This is quite remarkable.

At the same time, this also means that the Eighth Route Army Air Force was built from 0 to 1.

It’s not easy at all.

The boss and the deputy chief of staff were both very excited.

The deputy chief of staff also said excitedly: "Boss, the development of Su Zheng's Tiger Guards has created a miracle in military history! The development is too fast!"

The boss nodded in agreement: "Yes...it really is a miracle!"

"In such a short period of time, not only did they raise a powerful unit like the Tiger Guards, but they also raised a powerful air force. It's really a miracle!"

"With the reinforcement of the Tiger Guards' air force, our headquarters will be relatively safer."

The deputy chief of staff also showed a long-lost smile on his face: "That's right... If the headquarters can get through this safely, Su Zheng will have made a great contribution again."

The boss laughed and said, "Hahaha, Su Zheng really didn't let me down. The Tiger Guards are worthy of being the ace unit of our army. Not bad!"

The appearance of ten fighter jets is the confidence of the general and the deputy chief of general staff.

…………

The position of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

The Tiger Guards' P51 Mustang fighters and B17 bombers were still carrying out air raids and bombings.

Aerial shells kept falling.

At the same time, the onboard machine guns continued to fire.

Rumble…

Boom boom boom...

Da 890 da da…

Under the continuous attacks of the Tiger Guards Regiment's fighter planes, the Japanese soldiers kept falling down.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

Faced with such a situation, the Japanese also used light machine guns and heavy machine guns to continuously carry out air defense designs.

However, it didn't have much effect.

This does not mean that the Japanese did not hit the Tiger Regiment's fighter planes, but that the Tiger Regiment's P51 Mustang fighters and B17 bombers are the most advanced fighter planes in the world today.

Not only does it have superior performance and a large payload, but the armor and iron plates on the fuselage are also much thicker.

This means that even if the Japanese machine guns or heavy machine guns hit the Tiger Guards' P51 Mustang fighters and B17 bombers, at most they would leave bullet holes and would not cause much damage.

There might not even be a bullet hole left.

As for the fighter's fuel tanks, engines, etc., they are all tightly protected. It is very difficult to focus on these key and vital parts.

Therefore, when facing the Japanese invaders, the fighter planes of the Tiger Guards were completely crushing.

However, after several bombings, the P51 Mustang fighters and B17 bombers had run out of fuel, bullets and shells.

"Report to the captain, the shells of fighter plane 002 have been used up, and the onboard machine guns have little ammunition."

"Captain, the 005 fighter plane's onboard machine gun ammunition is running low."

"Report to the captain, the shells of fighter plane 006 have been used up, and the onboard machine guns have little ammunition."

…………

Each fighter plane reported the relevant situation to He Wenjian via radio. (bdda)

The B17 bomber's magazine had run out of ammunition.

The P51 Mustang fighter's machine guns were running low on ammunition.

Ammunition is consumed quickly.

At the same time, there is not much fuel left in the fuel tanks of each fighter jet.

You know, there is no airport nearby.

If the Tiger Guards' fighter planes want to land, they must return to the Xinzhong Airport in the Xinzhong Village base.

The distance between the Xinzhongcun base and the Eighth Route Army headquarters is not close.

Each fighter plane must leave enough fuel to ensure its return.

If there is not enough fuel to return, then the fighter plane will be lost.

Although the Tiger Guards only have ten fighter planes, these fighter planes are also very valuable.

Nothing can go wrong.

If there is no fuel for an emergency landing or it is impossible to land safely, the losses will be considerable.

In addition, the fighter planes are now out of artillery shells and the onboard machine guns are running out of bullets, so there is not much point in staying here.

Under such circumstances, He Wenjian decisively issued an order: "Return, all fighters return immediately!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the fighter planes quickly gained altitude and began to fly back to the Xinzhongcun base.

buzzing...

woohoo hoo...

The P51 Mustang fighters and B17 bombers of the Tiger Guard Regiment increased their altitude, maintained their formation, and returned.

The roar of the engine was getting farther and farther away.

After being bombed by the Tiger Guard Regiment's fighter planes, the positions of the entire Independent Mixed 9th Brigade were riddled with holes, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

However, with the departure of the Tiger Guards, the Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

These Japanese devils never expected that even the Eighth Route Army had air force combat units, and that their air firepower and strike capabilities were not weak.

It can be said that the deployment of the Tiger Guards' air force combat troops directly refreshed the Japanese's understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

They had always thought that the Eighth Route Army was a group of poorly equipped people without heavy weapons.

However, now that the fighter planes of the Tiger Guards have appeared on the scene, they have made the Japanese pay a heavy price and also made them realize: The Eighth Route Army is not a country!

The Eighth Route Army not only had a variety of large-caliber artillery shells, but also airplanes and tanks.

What have appeared now are only the tanks of the Tiger Guards Regiment's air force combat units. The mechanized tank combat units have not yet appeared!

At this time, Su Zheng was leading the tank infantry battalion of the Tiger Guard Regiment and rushing to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The temporary headquarters of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Ikegami Kenkichi used a telescope to watch the Tiger Regiment fighter planes fly away, and he breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face and he said, "Hahaha, the Eighth Route Army's air force combat unit has finished its second trick, now it's our turn!"

"Ito-kun, pass on my order. All units should rest and regroup as quickly as possible and wait for my order to attack!"

"This time, we must capture the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"

Ito Nilang: "Ha Yi!"

Afterwards, the Japanese soldiers from the 38th Battalion, the 40th Battalion, and the baggage train quickly corrected their troops, ready to go, awaiting the next round of attack.

However, due to the fierce bombing and air raids by the Tiger Guards Air Force Combat Unit, the number of casualties among the Japanese troops continued to rise.

Now the troops are somewhat under-equipped.

After learning about the casualties of each unit, Ikegami Kenkichi immediately said to Ito Nilang, "Ito-kun, immediately send a telegram to the 70th Battalion and ask them to transfer a squadron of troops to help me encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army headquarters."

Withdraw troops?

Ito Erlang was stunned and said, "General...I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?"

"If we withdraw a squadron from the 70th Battalion, it means that the 70th Battalion does not have enough troops to stop the enemy reinforcements. This is very dangerous!"

Ikegami Kenkichi: "We can't take over the Eighth Route Army headquarters as quickly as possible now, and it will be even more disadvantageous if we delay it any further!"

"Therefore, we must concentrate our manpower and take down the Eighth Route Army headquarters as quickly as possible. This is the best strategy!"

"I believe in the strength of the 70th Battalion. Even if we withdraw a squadron of troops, they can still hold out for an hour or two!"

indeed.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Kenkichi Ikegami knew very well that it would definitely be disadvantageous to engage in a tug-of-war within the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army's base.

Therefore, they could only gather their manpower and military forces to launch a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

As long as the Eighth Route Army headquarters is captured, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade can escape unscathed.

Otherwise... the consequences will be disastrous.

Ito Erlang nodded and said, "Ha Yi!"

Afterwards, Ito Jiran immediately ordered the signalman to dispatch a squadron of troops to the 70th Battalion.

At this time, the 70th Battalion was blocking the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army.

Faced with the Eighth Route Army's crazy and desperate attack, the 70th Battalion suffered heavy losses and casualties.

If a squadron of troops was withdrawn, the pressure on the 70th Battalion of the Japanese Army would be greatly increased. After all, it is now facing the strength of two regiments.

After receiving the order, the two regiments immediately came to reinforce the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

But they were stopped by the 70th Battalion of the Japanese Army.

A battalion has about a thousand soldiers.

The two regiments of the Eighth Route Army had a strength of about 2,000 people.

Although they had the advantage in numbers, the 70th Battalion occupied a favorable blocking terrain and directly blocked the attacks of the two regiments for several hours.

As a result...the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army were also very anxious.

If one squadron of troops were to be withdrawn from the 70th Battalion of the Japanese Army, the strength of this blocking position would be greatly weakened.

However, military orders were as firm as a mountain, and the captain of the 70th Independent Infantry Battalion, Daisuke Ohba, had no choice but to immediately dispatch a part-time squadron to support Kenkichi Ikegami.

A fully staffed squadron has about 200 soldiers.

However, Ota Otaro selected a squadron of 150 men to provide reinforcements.

Kenkichi Ikegami was mobilizing his troops and everything was ready for the war to begin.

Su Zheng's tank infantry battalion is still on the way...

PS: I want an automatic subscription to exceed 60, thank you, please!! .

Chapter 544: Danger is imminent! Su Zheng's mechanized troops make a stunning appearance (fourth update, please subscribe)

Su Zheng arranged for the air force combat units of the Tiger Guards Regiment to bomb the Japanese first. The main purpose was to slow down their attack speed and severely damage their troops.

If we want to completely resolve the crisis at headquarters, we still need to rely on ground troops.

Because the Tiger Guards' air force is not strong enough at present, it can't completely annihilate the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade by relying on the air force.

Therefore, after the air raid and bombing, it was still necessary to rely on ground forces to eliminate the remaining Japanese devils of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

After the bombing by the Tiger Guards Air Force, the attack of the Japanese troops of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade was directly hindered for more than an hour, and at the same time, it also severely damaged them.

The tactical goal was achieved.

This gave the New 1st Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment enough time to rest their troops, improve their fortifications, and wait for the next wave of attack from the Japanese.

Because of the air raids and bombings by the Tiger Guards Air Force, the 38th and 40th Battalions responsible for the attack suffered heavy losses.

In desperation, Kenkichi Ikegami transferred a squadron of the 70th Battalion to the battlefield.

This layout delayed the attack time a lot.

at last,

After some layout.

Ikegami Kenkichi finally assembled the troops and issued a battle order in a loud voice: "Pass my order, order all troops to capture the Eighth Route Army headquarters as quickly as possible."
