Chapter 175, First Airborne

"Hey, look, what is that in the sky?"

"Looks like a human."

"The clothes look like little devils, why are they floating in the sky! Could it be that they can fly?"

The [-]nd Regiment, which was marching, saw the Japanese aircraft that had just passed by in the sky, and immediately took well-trained concealment on the spot.

But the devil's plane didn't drop the bomb.

Instead, a bunch of little devils with rag curtains were thrown down.

The soldiers who got up talked to each other, pointing to the devils in the sky to discuss.

"Captain, which song is the little devil singing! How can this man fly down from the sky?"

A combat staff officer at the regiment headquarters asked in bewilderment.

Never seen anything like it before, or even heard of it.

For unknown situations, any previous experience cannot be applied, and people will always be afraid.

Old Cheng of the [-]nd Regiment observed for a while with a high-powered telescope in his hand, and suddenly remembered, and said in surprise, "This is an airborne soldier!"

"Well, what is an airborne soldier?" The bystanders asked in confusion.

"Airborne troops are paratroopers, who are parachuted into the battlefield by air. They have super maneuverability and can directly cross a large number of blockade areas to project troops onto the battlefield."

"Like cavalry, and car soldiers riding in trucks, they can't catch up with them even if they flatter their horses."

After explaining to the cadres of the regiment headquarters, Captain Cheng looked at the hundreds of paratroopers who were slowly descending from the sky, thinking that this was a delivery for himself.

There are hundreds of people who are made of iron, and the [-] people in the [-]nd Regiment can also squeeze the enemy out of molten iron.

He immediately ordered the cavalry company and the general of the first battalion as the forward to attack.

"Shoot those fallen birdmen!"

Head Cheng waved his hand vigorously, determined to get off to a good start.

It was also unlucky for this group of little devils who came down from the air, and almost landed on top of the [-]nd regiment.

The person was still floating in the air, and the eighth road who arrived below was already shooting with a gun.

Just like hunting birds!
No, it should be said to be easier than hunting birds.

A person who weighs more than 100 jin is much easier to target than a bird with little meat.

Floating in the air, the effect of fighting back was almost useless, and the only two No. 30 little devils who landed alive had no possibility of escaping at all, and they were all chased and killed by the cavalry.

The cavalry company commander who came back to report the combat situation to the regiment headquarters.

"Regimental Commander, these little devils should actually be elite. They all use submachine guns, and their marksmanship is not bad. Our cavalry company also lost more than a dozen good players, and even lost 21 horses."

The cavalry company commander said with great heartache.

He lost one-fifth of his fighting power all of a sudden, and he couldn't be happy about winning.

They were all submachine guns, and their marksmanship was not bad. Captain Cheng immediately thought of the rumored special forces of the Japanese army.

Could it be that the team happened to land on top of his own head?

I heard that Consultant Chen designed the other party twice, both of which were severely injured, but they were not completely wiped out.

If it is wiped out by my own family, a favor cannot escape.

"Have you caught anyone alive and confirmed their identities?"

"No prisoners were caught, all of them died."

Hearing this, Captain Cheng was a little disappointed. Without a living confirmation, the gold content was lost.

However, he still decided to identify these enemies as the rumored Yamamoto Special Forces, confirm their elimination and send a report to the headquarters.

The troops continued to advance towards the objective.

Their [-]nd Regiment wanted to stop the vanguard of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, and that was the real formidable enemy, and they couldn't afford to relax.

The earlier you arrive at the predetermined location, the more time you will have to build a defensive position.

Fighting later will make it easier.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is on the way to transfer.

After receiving the telegram from the [-]nd Regiment, Master Liu forwarded it to Chen Hao.

In the past conversations, Chen Hao always admired Kazuki Yamamoto who formed the special forces team.

He spoke highly of this man, and he was flexible. He was regarded as a truly threatening opponent among the Japanese First Army.

"A hundred or so people with submachine guns are all dead. He doesn't seem to be as amazing as you said."

Master Liu said with a smile.

He respected his opponent very much, but a person who was praised so much by Chen Hao ended up in such an absurd way.

Chen Hao took the telegram and read it carefully, feeling very confused immediately.

Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces no longer play rock climbing, and now they actually engage in parachuting?
Has it changed so much?
Chen Hao intuitively felt that something was wrong. He groped for the stubble on his chin and vetoed it thoughtfully: "No, this is definitely not Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces."

"They are all holding submachine guns, what's wrong?" Mr. Liu asked in confusion.

"It is not necessarily the Yamamoto Special Forces who hold the submachine gun. It is not difficult to produce the submachine gun, but the Japanese army is unwilling to deploy it on a large scale because of the difficulty in logistical support."

After listening to Chen Hao's explanation, Master Liu nodded.

The reason why the Japanese army is unwilling to equip more machine guns is to save ammunition consumption.Mr. Liu was deeply touched by the fact that bullets were consumed too quickly with automatic firearms.

Since the deployment of assault rifles on a large scale, Zhang Wanhe, Minister of Logistics, has often been urged by various troops to ask for bullets.

The problem is that they don't have a production line for bullets, so they can't make them themselves.

The recovered bullet casings are used to reload the bullets, the machine operates 24 hours a day, and the personnel work in three shifts.The reloaded bullets are still a drop in the bucket for the huge demand.

It has been two months since Chen Hao disappeared, and [-]% of the bullets he brought last time have been consumed, and the warehouse of the logistics department has been alarmed.

If he doesn't come again, those tens of thousands of assault rifles will have to be used as rifles.

The logistics department did some calculations. For the same number of troops, using assault rifles consumes more than ten times more ammunition than using rifles.

The total number of Japanese troops numbered several million, the Kwantung Army deployed in Huaguo had millions of people, and there were about 150 million people in the pass.

Even if one in ten switched to an assault rifle, the ammunition consumption would almost double.

So I can't understand why the Japanese army developed a submachine gun a long time ago, but didn't equip it for the front line.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, it is enough to use the [-] cover on the battlefield of Huaguo, and there is no need to upgrade it.

Tens of thousands of people in the Eighth Route Army are now equipped with assault rifles, which have dealt heavy blows to the Japanese army in past battles.

Will the Japanese army, who have suffered so much, not change?
The assault rifle may not have been imitated yet, and it is also possible to equip the rest of the troops with submachine guns.

"not to mention……"

"Not to mention what?" Mr. Liu asked.

No one knows Kazuki Yamamoto better than Chen Hao.

Chen Hao said slowly: "Kazuki Yamamoto has an arrogant personality, and there are only two people in Shanxi who can be regarded as targets by him, our Eighth Route Army headquarters and Yan Xishan's official residence.

Airborne the troops to the vicinity of the [-]nd regiment, there are no valuable targets in that place.

It is impossible for Kazuki Yamamoto to think arrogantly that his hundred or so people can wipe out a regiment, right? "

100:3000
The level of weapons between the two sides is almost the same. The [-]nd Regiment also has heavy weapons such as mortars and rocket launchers.

As long as the opposing commander is not in a daze, he won't do such stupid things.

"Your judgment is correct." Master Liu agreed with him.

It's just that another question came to mind, what did this group of mysterious airborne devils do in that place?
They can't always be practicing skydiving.

There must be a purpose, but I haven't thought of it yet.

With doubts, Master Liu led the horse and continued on their way. They moved along the narrow road in the winding mountain to Xinzhuang in the north.

That will be the temporary residence of the headquarters.

In the evening, just after settling down in Xinzhuang, bad news came.

An elite Japanese army of about two squadrons raided the Third Battalion of the Secret Service Regiment, and the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.

Since the enemies all use submachine guns, they are not inferior in terms of firepower.

The third battalion suffered a lot of casualties in the surprise attack, and was unable to expel the enemy, and is still entangled with the enemy.

A small portable radio that can perform voice communication like a telephone in short-distance communication.

The telegraph soldier directly brought the radio and put it on the table.

The deputy chief of staff said: "If we can't drive the enemy away, we will have to be chased and moved by the enemy."

Anyone can see this.

The special mission regiment at the headquarters has a strong combat effectiveness, but its strength is relatively small. There are only three infantry battalions with more than [-] soldiers.

It turned out that the first battalion that was stationed at the arsenal and handed over to the independent regiment had not yet returned.

The third battalion was entangled by the enemy, and only the second battalion could serve as a reserve force on hand.

Then there is the Security Section, the headquarters security company.

It is not a last resort and cannot be sent to the battlefield.

Send them up, and the headquarters will become undefended, and any enemy can come and take advantage of it.

The boss did not answer that question, but asked rhetorically:
"I have a doubt, where did this sudden enemy come from? How did they cross so many blockades and chase after our ass."

"Plane airborne."

Mr. Liu didn't have time to inform before, and now he explained the telegram sent back by the [-]nd Regiment and the judgment based on it.

Then the previous doubts have been answered.

The deputy chief of staff suddenly realized: "I said, it turns out that those planes are not loaded with bombs, they are people!"

It was detected that the Japanese army dispatched [-] to [-] planes, only [-] planes bombed the headquarters, and the whereabouts of the rest were unknown.

Before, they thought that the enemy plane was frightened and returned directly.

The boss asked: "Who knows how many people can fit in an airplane?"

Chen Hao, who was leaning against the door, yawned, thought for a while and said, "The Japanese army's planes don't have much space. One plane can carry [-], and maybe [-] if squeezed together, which is the most."

Everyone's math is good, counting as fifty planes, the minimum is 1000 people, and the maximum is [-].

The strength of one brigade to two brigades.

The number of enemies reported by the third battalion was only about [-] to [-], about two squadrons.

"Where did the rest of the enemies go, won't they fall behind us?"

As soon as Mr. Liu said the words, the hearts of the other people in the room sank.

Most of the people in the headquarters are civilian cadres, and they have no combat effectiveness.

If hundreds of people suddenly appeared and attacked the headquarters, a spy battalion was not enough to protect the safety, and the consequences would be very serious.

"It's not that bad, is it?"

Chen Hao walked to the table of the Eight Immortals and sat down: "The little devil is not Zhuge Liang, can they calculate the direction of our headquarters transfer?"

There was some relief in his words.

The sadness on the face of the deputy chief of staff suddenly disappeared a lot, and Master Liu also smiled: "It seems that I have worried too much."

dong dong dong.

The soldiers from the telecommunications department knocked on the door and sent two telegrams.

The deputy chief of staff took a look and handed it to the boss. Several people circulated it in turn, all frowning.

"What's the matter, what's the bad news again?"

Seeing that their expressions were not right, Chen Hao asked in great bewilderment.

"Look at it!" Mr. Liu handed over both telegrams.

Both telegrams described the same situation. The county brigade and district team sent to blow up bridges and plant landmines were attacked by unidentified elite armed forces of the Japanese army.

Not to mention the heavy loss of their personnel, it also caused the mission to not be completed.

This unidentified armed force is most likely the Japanese airborne troops wiped out by the [-]nd Regiment.

Enemies don't just drop in one place.

The other local troops who have not sent back the news are very likely to have not completed their tasks.

Chen Hao knew why their faces were so solemn.

The original plan was broken without blowing up bridges and laying mines to stop the advance of the Japanese army.

The task of the [-]nd Regiment to delay the enemy is even heavier.

The deputy chief of staff has always been more optimistic. He smiled and said: "The good news is that the enemy's paratroopers did not appear behind us, and the threat facing the headquarters has been lifted for the time being."

This actually verified Chen Hao's judgment.

Just considering the difficulties faced by the [-]nd Regiment, the boss couldn't be happier with a stern face.

"Can the [-]nd Regiment block it?"

Facing the boss's serious questioning, Mr. Liu cheered up [-]%.

After serious consideration, he slowly said: "For the troops of the Type A Division, I believe that the [-]nd Regiment can withstand it, and half of them have changed their weapons and equipment, not for nothing.

But there is a premise that the enemy is just an infantry regiment being pulled by a truck according to the intelligence. "

In the past, Mr. Liu could give a more definite answer.

But this time, the changes in the Japanese army were unexpected.

Twenty bombers carpet-bombed headquarters and nearly wiped them out.

Fifty or sixty transport planes parachuted at least one infantry brigade, attacked the headquarters, and swept away obstacles on the way ahead.

The attacking troops are not rushing on the road with their legs, but mobilizing hundreds of trucks for transportation.

All kinds of tactics are full of changes.

Anyone who still responds according to the rigid experience in the past will definitely suffer a big loss.

The boss thought more about it, he said: "We have to make preparations for another move, and we can't pin all our hopes on the success of the [-]nd Regiment to stop the enemy.

The tank company of the independent regiment asked them to set off to support the [-]nd regiment.and also……"

Three orders were issued in succession, forming a strong insurance policy to cover the [-]nd regiment after failure.

Of course, the best case scenario is that the insurance plan is not needed.

The deputy chief of staff asked, "What about the Third Battalion of the Secret Service Regiment?"

The boss laughed: "Send a company to pull two rocket launchers to support, and give the little devil some shells to try. After tasting the shells, I see if they still have the courage to hold on to them."

Hearing that there was a battle to be fought, Chen Hao suddenly stopped dozing off, stood up and volunteered to go.

Master Liu hurriedly persuaded him: "The advice you provided is very important, and we still have to ask you as a staff officer. If you go to the front line to fight, then you are not overqualified."

"Don't go, ah!"

The boss also echoed the persuasion.

Are you so important?Chen Hao, who was recognized, readily agreed.
