My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 588
Li Shuanggui was lying on the rock pile, chewing grass roots in every possible way, but the telescope was always held in front of his eyes and never put down.

Followed by a dozen soldiers, also quietly lying in the grass waiting for orders.

They were located on a steep cliff with three sides, and not far ahead was the dry riverbed full of shrubs, where the artillery positions arranged by the little devil were also there.

In order to prevent the actions of the large troops from being discovered by the Japanese army, the company commander divided the remaining people of the reconnaissance company into two parts, and asked Li Shuanggui's men to be temporarily organized into the third row, as close as possible to the Japanese army's position, and to monitor the opponent's movements.

The other part is on the other side of the Japanese army's position one kilometer to the southwest. Two groups of people communicate by walkie-talkie, relying on each other and ready to respond at any time.

There are jagged rocks on the top of the mountain, large and small stones can provide better cover, but there are also many thorny vines growing here, and the skin of those small leaves with thorns turns red when touched, making it itchy.

There is no way, further ahead is the edge of the defense line arranged by the little devil, if you go out, you may be found, and this is the only place that is most suitable for concealment and is not easy to be found.

At this time, half an hour had passed since the Japanese army started to deploy their positions, but there was no movement over there.

If it wasn't for the fact that the cannons on the river bed and the Japanese soldiers shuttled through the binoculars could still be vaguely seen, Li Shuanggui would have thought that the little devil had run away.

"Something's wrong, Lao Jiao, why hasn't the devil made any movement for a long time."

"Then what should we do? How about we move forward?" The third row leader next to him kept scratching his forearm, obviously tortured enough by the thorny leaf vine.

The soldiers around were almost the same, and coupled with the scorching sun above their heads, this feeling was as good as it could be.

"Shit, do you want to get shot? Just hang around."

Li Shuanggui agreed angrily, there is an open field in front of him, and it's not enough for people like this to go out with a machine gun.

"I'm talking about why the devils are so calm. It's been half an hour since they arrived here. What are they doing?"

"How do I know, why don't you go to the other side and ask those grandchildren?" The third platoon leader glanced suspiciously, pursed his mouth to express his dissatisfaction, annoyed, he pulled down his sleeves as much as possible to cover his exposed skin.

Baldy Li was also looking for this damned hiding place.Now everyone is being tossed to death by thorny vines, and this kid is still talking nonsense here.

Knowing that he was wrong, Li Shuanggui ignored his complaints and continued to observe through the binoculars.

At this moment, the two B17 sky fortresses slowly lowered their flight altitude and flew through the airspace in front of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Here we come!" The third platoon leader clenched his hands and looked at the sky excitedly.

"Huh? This sounds a bit wrong..."

Li Shuanggui was a little suspicious. It was almost the same sound when he was bombed by the little devil's plane in the west of Yunnan.

As the roar of the plane's engine gradually faded away, the piercing screams of aerial bombs sounded overhead.

call out…

Until I saw those black objects appearing in my eyes...

Li Shuanggui was so frightened that his eyes burst open, and before he could shout out, a deafening explosion rang in his ears!

boom!
boom!
boom…

At this moment, there seemed to be hailstones in the sky, and then the bombs exploded on the ground one after another!

The air waves swept through the woods like a hurricane, and countless trees were overturned by this devastating shock wave...

Hoo hoo...!
Although the movement was loud, the terrifying power of the 500-kilogram aerial bombs was indeed frightening, but the position of their bombs was outrageous.

The ground shook like an earth dragon turning over, as if it was about to split open. Li Shuanggui and his party were shaken by the air waves, and the strong air pressure made the eardrums almost burst.

This round of bombing did land near the river bed, but it was still some distance away from the little devil's artillery position, and most of it was thrown in front of Li Shuanggui's team.

Even the nearest bomb was less than 500 meters away from the hillside where they were, and everyone was shocked with tinnitus, dizziness and chest tightness.

If it weren't for luck to choose a high ground covered by boulder piles, the terrifying shock wave alone would have made this group of people hate the Northwest.

Li Shuanggui shook his stuffy head, and pushed himself up from the ground. At this moment, he only felt his stomach churn, opened his mouth wide and retched several times, and almost didn't spit it out.

Taking a closer look, the companions around him were all of the same kind, and everyone was really upset by this round of bombing.

"Old Jiao, how are you?"

"What?".

"Ask how you are!? Are you okay?"

Facing Li Shuanggui's yell, the third platoon leader looked stunned. He only saw the other party open his mouth but couldn't hear any sound, his head was full of buzzing tinnitus.

"Open your mouth and take a deep breath..." Li Shuanggui reminded, but in desperation he had no choice but to check the situation of his companions one by one.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, the team members were just dizzy from the shock, but those bombs were thrown in vain, and the devil artillery in the river bed was fine at all.

"Boss Li, what's going on, why is the plane bombing us?" The third platoon leader who recovered a little bit widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Those who didn't know this thought it was a good thing done by the Devil Aircraft.

"How the hell do I know, why don't you go to the sky and ask them!? Grandma's..."

Li Shuanggui was aggrieved and replied with the same words, if there was a loudspeaker, he would order to scold those bastards flying the planes in the sky to death.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang: "zizi...call...zizi...call wolf boy, please answer..."

The third platoon leader hastily pulled the walkie-talkie behind him and put it to his ear: "Got it, please tell me!"

"Just received the news from the command that the bomber is running out of fuel...zizi...they are going to return...

zi... there is an error in the bombing coordinates... zi...need...accurate signal identification...you...zizizi...can you..."

"What!? Please repeat the command! Hey! Hey? Damn..." The third platoon leader patted the walkie-talkie angrily. Know what the other person is talking about.

Perhaps due to the impact of the bombing shock wave, the radio signal was intermittent, and it took a long time to understand what the other party meant.

It turned out that the bomber formation did not take off with full fuel because it was carrying out its mission with a full load of ammunition and had to reach the target sky as quickly as possible.

Coupled with the fact that the Japanese army has not opened fire to expose the location, they can only hover in the sky based on coordinate information and wait for an opportunity.

But as time went by, the fuel on the plane gradually bottomed out, and it was impossible to fly back if it didn't leave.

Out of desperation, the crew drove two of the B17s to drop bombs in the general area of ​​the riverbed, hoping to gain something.

Unfortunately, this round of bombing did not have much substantial impact on the Japanese army...

Limited by the radio technology of this era, it is difficult for the airborne radio to communicate with the front-line infantry in real time, unless the terrain is suitable and there is no signal blockage, and the aircraft is hovering at a low altitude, but obviously these are not available at this time condition.

They all transfer information through the high-power transceiver station of the headquarters, which is not only slow, but also extremely inconvenient for task guidance on the battlefield.

No way, who made it easy to hide the whereabouts of the team in this area. Originally, they expected the enemy to open fire to expose the location. Who knew that group of little devils could be so calm, and the bomber pilots had no choice but to act.

And now there is one last chance left, which is to approach the Japanese army in chaos before the bomber formation withdraws, and shoot signal flares or smoke bombs into the Devils artillery position.

Only in this way can we give accurate guidance to the aircraft in the sky, otherwise all these efforts will be in vain...
