The plane that Changyou saw in the afternoon was the bomber called by Yoshio Shinozuka, which bombed the division headquarters of the 120th Division.Although the number is not very large, the threat is not small at all.Most of the Japanese army and air are supporting Okamura Ninji's battle, and it is already very face-saving to be able to separate such a few planes to support him Yoshio Shinozuka.Yoshio Shinozuka didn't complain much, and he didn't expect to be able to take down the other party with such a small plane.The planes are only there to put pressure on them, and it depends on their infantry.As an infantryman, he doesn't take Lu Hang's thing too seriously.In his opinion, no matter how powerful the army aviation is, it will eventually depend on their infantry to occupy it.It's like the red deer in the navy, no matter how powerful they are, in the end, it is not up to them to occupy the territory with the army.Thinking of the navy, Yoshio Shinozuka is full of disdain, in addition to competing with them for resources and building some useless warships, what else can those red deer do now wipe out the US Pacific Fleet, that resource should be tilted towards their army Yoshio Shinozuka thought so beautifully.Look at the front again, after the bombers are rambling, the fighters are responsible for licking the ground.Among the fighters are mainly the Type 97, mixed with some old two-winged ones.These biplane fighters swayed slowly in the sky, completely unconcerned about whether the troops on the ground had air defense or not.It was precisely because there was no anti-aircraft firepower on the Eighth Route that the Japanese army dared to be so unscrupulous, and even ran out of bullets before returning slowly.His attitude is very arrogant.But the people on the ground can only watch, and there is nothing they can do.People have the ability, that is, they can be arrogant, if they don't have the ability, then obediently take a beating on the ground, the battle began at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese army was ready to make a surprise attack, but it was discovered by the sentry.It gave the division headquarters time to react, but because the Japanese army came too suddenly, there was not enough time to prepare, so this contact came down.The main force of the three regiments, plus a guard battalion, totaled less than 5,000 people, and in the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, it lasted for three hours, and it was almost impossible to hold on.The guard battalion was even more beaten, and there were only a few dozen people left, and they wanted to cover the chief's breakthrough, but they were blocked by the Japanese and couldn't leave at all.In other words, the Japanese army had already surrounded them.All we can count on now is the support team, and I hope they will come soon.The nearest regiment, after receiving the news of the return of reinforcements, immediately packed up its things and set out.After marching for nearly three hours, they finally arrived.From afar, they could hear the roar of gunfire, and the battle was fierce.Because it was white-hot from the beginning, the Japanese army almost threw all its forces into it.It's no wonder that the three regiments can't hold on, even if three more can't come.In fact, this is already the Japanese army slowing down, because Yoshio Shinozuka's idea is to encircle the point and send reinforcements.The purpose was the new 16th Regiment.If this side is solved all at once, won't the reinforcements come, although he doesn't have the ability to solve it all at once, but slowing down the attack will give the division headquarters some respite.When the new reinforcements were discovered, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't say a word, and immediately drew half of the team to besiege the supporting team, and the dozens of heavy artillery he brought with him were a fierce bombardment without saying a word.Now the time is almost past six o'clock, at this time, the sky is almost dark, but it is not yet dark, the sun in the west has set behind the mountain, and there is only a trace of afterglow.What's the use of this afterglow In the dark night, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is still good, and it is not inferior to the Eighth Route at all, and it is even stronger.After all, there are not a few people suffering from night blindness on this side of the Eighth Road.With the continuous arrival of reinforcements, Yoshio Shinozuka gradually felt a trace of pressure.He didn't expect that so many people would come, counting the six regiments that came to support him, not counting the three regiments surrounded by him.I don't know if the new 16th Regiment is coming at this time, the new 16th Regiment is still on the way, but it's almost there.By the light of the torches, I looked at the time on my watch, and it was almost nine o'clock.After receiving the order to return to help, they immediately set off, and they had been running for nearly six hours.Seeing that the division headquarters was in front, even the sound of explosions could be heard, and there were bursts of fire in the distance.Occasionally, a somewhat dazzling white point of light can be seen hanging in the sky, slowly descending.It was a flare, and no one could use it except the Japanese army."
Speed up, it's coming soon," Hu shouted in a loud voice.I was also very anxious, and I didn't know what happened to the leaders.The commander of the "shooting" artillery brigade, waving a red and white command stick, ordered the artillery to open fire.These guns, although short, but thick, rang out with a bang.Long flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the shells that were fired fell on the positions of the Eighth Road, exploding clusters of orange flames to light up the night.Hu Yidao, who had just arrived, looked at the battle not far away, and was a little amazed.The intensity of this battle has exceeded any battle I have seen before, and I don't know if these recruits I brought can hold on, so don't be afraid of such a fierce battle."
Our firepower is insufficient, so many regiments combined, there is no more artillery fire than a team of little devils."
Chang You sighed a little and was also a little sad.If they had this kind of firepower, they wouldn't be like this at all.Think about those British and French colonial troops, who had a bunch of advanced weapons and equipment, but when facing the Japanese army, they were unwilling to resist even a little, and gave them to the Japanese army in vain.If those are given to them, I believe that the Japanese army in the entire North China will only dare to squat in the city and dare not go out in the future.Although it was four or four years later, the Japanese army in North China was indeed beaten and did not dare to go out, but it would be two years later."
Scholar, it's time for us" Hu Yidao's voice interrupted Chang You's thoughts."
Then go up."
Chang You nodded.Nine regiments surrounded the Japanese army, one person was responsible for one aspect of the fortification, the main goal was to break the Japanese army's encirclement of the division headquarters, take out the leaders inside, and the second was to destroy the Japanese army.According to the intelligence, the commander of this team was none other than Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the North China Front.If he could be killed, the impact would be much greater than the death of the so-called flower of the empire, Norihide Abe.After all, Norihide Abe is just a new general, and Yoshio Shinozuka is an old one.Of course, this is just a luxury, and if it can really be killed, it will be even better, provided that the leaders are rescued first
