The Japanese army never imagined that the enemy came from the river.

The temporarily built beachhead blocking position was as fragile as paper, and it was crushed by the impact of the infantry fighting vehicle after it landed.

This was followed by the landing of three tank companies.

With the lessons learned from Ruili City, the Japanese army did not have the courage to build a field defense and chose to hide in the fortified Tengchong City.

This is very detrimental to the attacking Sichuan Army.

Tengchong was originally named Tengyue.

During the Ming Dynasty, Tengyue Prefecture was officially established. Because the main body of the city was built of stone, it was also called Stone City.

It is not an ordinary stone, it is a strip of stone mined from the mountain, and its texture is very hard.

It is almost impossible to blast away the thick city walls with tanks, and heavy artillery with a caliber of two or three hundred millimeters is about the same.

Due to limited conditions, the Northern Expedition troops were not equipped.

As a result, the weak point of the city gate has become a hot spot of competition between the enemy and us.

In the troops led by Li Yunlong, the infantry carried by the infantry fighting vehicles was limited, and the number of tanks and chariots was large.

A thousand meters away from a city wall, about twenty tanks were scattered and lined up, their muzzles aimed at the enemies on the city wall.

Every shell will blow up a cloud of smoke and rubble on the city wall.

The infantry chariot advanced rapidly, and the wide moat under the city wall could not stop it, and it directly arrived at the gate of the city to put down the infantry on board.

The blaster stuffed a large amount of TNT explosives into the ruined city gate.

The defenders above the city gate knew very well what would happen to them after the city gate was breached, and threw grenades down like crazy.

Even if the arm is stretched out, it will be smashed by the machine guns and cannons fired back and forth.

His life is about to be lost, and it is not a problem to blow up his arm.

After several twists and turns, two of the blasters were sacrificed. With a violent roar, smoke and dust enveloped the entire city gate, and even the city walls trembled from the explosion.

Three infantry vehicles approached quickly, ready to rush in through the blasted gap at the first time.

When the smoke and dust cleared and saw the scene inside, they had no choice but to prepare for the next time while sighing.

The Japanese army faithfully fulfilled the task of gaining wisdom through a pitfall.

Before the Sichuan army launched an attack, the Japanese army used trucks to pull a large number of stones to block the entire city gate.

With the determination to die, they did not go out.

Enemies don't want to come in easily.

"Damn it, give me a blast, keep giving me a blast!"

"This is a tortoise shell, I'm going to smash it!"

Seeing that the front attack was unfavorable, Li Yunlong roared angrily.

He and Chen Hao have blown the bullshit out. If they can't even attack the city wall for a long time, they will have to be laughed at by Chen Hao when they go back.

Li Yunlong couldn't afford to lose that person.

Eighteen [-]-type rocket launchers lined up, launching a covering attack on the city wall and the Japanese troops inside the city wall.

Countless rockets pierced through the air, blowing up the city built by the Ming Dynasty into ruins.

When the helicopter formation came to Tengchong, the reporters happened to see this spectacular scene, and they couldn't get enough of it with their eyes wide open.

A British reporter who has been to the European battlefield said:

"The scale of this shelling is already comparable to that of a heavy artillery division. Without excellent anti-artillery fortifications, half of the enemy's soldiers will be killed in one round of shelling."

It was the first time he had seen such a large-scale bombardment in the Far East, not even when the Japanese army landed in Yangon.

Madonna asked, "Is it a weapon called a rocket launcher?"

"It's what we call the Type [-] rocket launcher, and it can be transported on a pickup truck. The Northern Expedition troops carried eighteen of them."

Jiang Chao introduced and explained to the reporters.

After hearing this, the reporters looked out through the window, trying to find the firing position of the rocket launcher, and see what it looked like.

An American-made heavy artillery division has about [-] artillery pieces of various types, which is not much different from Germany and Britain.

Using one-fifth of the quantity will have the same power.

More importantly, the rocket launcher is light and has a small number of operators. It is much smaller than a heavy artillery division, and it is not even comparable to an artillery battalion.

It can be said that the rocket launcher is firmly in the upper hand.

The reporter looking over found the position of the rocket launcher, but it was too far away to see clearly.

They asked the pilot to drive the helicopter over and get a closer look.

The driver rejected them, and Jiang Chao explained: "Our helicopter formation still has combat missions, and we can arrange for you to observe them closely after the end."

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding.

Because of the high degree of secrecy of helicopters, the outside world does not know much information, and reporters do not know how to use them in war.

"Is it loaded with heavy machine guns on the plane, or is the machine gun firing on the ground?"

"Is there a bomb on the helicopter? How come we didn't see it."

The reporters asked questions one after another.

Jiang Chao smiled and didn't tell them directly, but just asked them to watch carefully, and they would know right away.

The curiosity of the reporters was completely aroused, and they stared at other helicopters through the window, waiting for them to launch an attack.

At this time, the detachment leader had already communicated with Li Yunlong, who was commanding on the ground.

It is not enough to bomb the city gate with rockets carried by helicopters.

They were ordered to clean up the enemies on the city wall, and if they had enough firepower, they could attack the enemies close to the city wall.

A helicopter flew over the city wall, and the rocket launchers under the wings fired all the rockets in a swish.

There were a series of explosions on the broad city wall that was hit.

As if a fire dragon swept across the top, the top was blown beyond recognition, and the exposed soldiers were almost dead.

One emptied its rockets, and the helicopter behind it immediately took over.

The rockets of the four helicopters were used up, and the city wall that was attacked from the front had been swept away. The attack results were much more effective than the previous rocket coverage.

After all, the accuracy of the Type [-] rocket launcher is not an advantage, but a disadvantage.

"Oh my God, are helicopters so vicious?" said the Brit.

"It's brutal for the enemy, but it's great for us." Li Xiushi shouted excitedly.

"The accuracy of the rockets used is comparable to that of dive bombers. How are the aerial bombs dropped?"

American journalists want to know the principle of the weapon most. If the United States can manufacture it, it will be a blessing to the world, and the speed of the failure of the Axis powers will be accelerated.

Jiang Chao would not answer their questions, and looked enviously at the pilots in front of them, driving the helicopter carrying them to massacre the Japanese army in the city.

Killing the little devil has long been one of his dreams.

I don't know how long it will be before he can pilot the helicopter and be able to fight on his own.

The helicopter used up all the ammunition it was carrying, and the others chose to return to replenish, and this one of them was guided on the ground to land in an open space.

As soon as the war reporters got off the plane, they clamored to see the rocket artillery position, and they had to queue up to interview the commander.

After all, the top officials of the Sichuan Army have already interviewed, and the frontline commanders are not very important.

At least they think it is important to solve their curiosity without looking at the rocket launcher.

However, when they saw the rocket launchers, they were disappointed. The Type [-] rocket launchers were small and unattractive, and they were incomparable with the mighty and majestic heavy artillery.

Disappointed, Randy couldn't help saying: "If you don't look carefully, it's not much different from the farm tools pulled by our American farmers' tractors."

"But farm implements don't have twelve barrels."

Madonna was not deceived by the inconspicuous appearance of the rocket launcher. She asked the artillery commander if she could fire it once for them to see.

Normally, they would definitely not waste rockets just to show them off.

But this is a battlefield, and they have to be launched to fight devils anyway.

The artillery company commander asked for instructions from above, and after getting permission, he assigned a rocket launcher to show the launch process to the reporters.

The reporters hurriedly took out their cameras, and two of them took out their video cameras to make a black and white film.

It is certain that they serve the US military.

The five-person rocket launcher team cooperated tacitly to load the twelve rockets one by one, slightly adjusted the angle and orientation, and began to launch.

Billowing white smoke was ejected, and the rocket flew into the distance with the help of fuel.

The rocket bombs that landed in the city were inconspicuous mixed with other artillery sounds.

The ten-second launch process was over, and the smoke that hadn't cleared remained in place.

The reporters were still in shock. It was really hard for them to imagine that this humble launcher, which looked like a farm tool, actually fired twelve rockets in ten seconds.

Thinking of the explosion scene seen on the helicopter before, its power is still very impressive.

Isn't the bigger the gun, the bigger the caliber, the stronger the power?

How can something like this be comparable to a heavy artillery!

Do not understand, really do not understand.

Li Yunlong did not welcome the arrival of the war reporters. Commanding the war was enough to disturb people's minds, and there are so many troublemakers, it's not life-threatening.

Especially seeing that there is a foreign woman among the reporters, it's nothing.

Women should stay away from the battlefield, Li Yunlong and Chen Hao have a common view.

Li Yunlong's attitude towards the reporters was not very good, and he was not willing to accept their interviews and exchanges.

It was for Chen Hao's sake that he was allowed to watch.

"Report, the radar has detected a large number of Japanese aircraft coming, the number is 28."

Ma Dannuo could understand Chinese, and was panicked when she heard the news. She communicated with several other reporters, and then immediately asked if there was an air-raid shelter.

After being interrupted by them, Li Yunlong was very impatient: "What do you want the air-raid shelter for?"

"The Japanese planes are coming to bomb, and the only way to be safe is to hide in the air-raid shelter."

The foreign war correspondents answered as a matter of course.

In their view, this combat unit of the Sichuan Army lacks the necessary air defense weapons, and it is bound to suffer heavy losses in the face of air raids and bombings by Japanese aircraft.

At this time, it is too risky to be outside with the people of the Sichuan Army, and only the air-raid shelter can give them safety.

Where can I find a bomb shelter for them?
Others would think this way, but Li Yunlong didn't bother to talk to them at all. He turned his head and said to the staff: "Where is the plane that Commander Chen mentioned? Can you catch up with and intercept the other party?"

"I'll urge them now." The staff officer replied.

The weapons carried cannot blow open the city gates, and it is difficult to destroy the city walls.

Under Chen Hao's name, Li Yunlong didn't know what politeness was, and directly called for support from the bombers whom Chen Hao boasted so well.

The power of aerial bombs carried by bombers is not comparable to artillery shells.

Of course, there was the threat of the Japanese Zero fighters, and the bombers took off, escorted by J-[-] fighter jets.

Of course it would be best if he could catch up, but if he couldn't catch up, with the anti-aircraft missile launcher he carried, he could also knock down some devil planes.

It's just that the number of anti-aircraft missiles is limited, and the 28 planes brought by the Japanese army are not enough.

The reporters were very angry, and the commander completely ignored their demands, and treated them like nothing.

They, who have always been respected in this way, feel humiliated.

"We were invited by your regiment leader Chen. If there is an accident or something bad happens, your regiment leader Chen will not spare you."

Ma Dannuo expressed anger in not very fluent Chinese.

Journalists have protested that they do not respect human rights. They are war reporters, not soldiers on the battlefield, so they should not take additional risks.

Li Yunlong couldn't stand their noise, and stared with tiger eyes: "Mother, put your nose on your face, right! I didn't even say to hide, you are afraid of a ball!"

Facing the aggressive Li Yunlong is like roaring in front of a beautiful tiger.

Ma Dannuo was so frightened that she shut her mouth in an instant, and the war reporters fell silent.

The combat staff had a result after many communications: "Deputy regiment commander, the two escorting fighter jets have accelerated, and I promise to shoot down the Japanese planes when they arrive."

Li Yunlong nodded expressionlessly to express his understanding.

He was still looking forward to seeing his own fighter jets shoot down Japanese planes, something he hadn't had the chance to see in Xinyi Regiment.

Jiang Chao relayed the news that their fighter jets came to support them to the war reporters.

He also has the task of explaining, and he feels that the relationship cannot be frozen, and he is trying to ease it.

"is that true?"

"Your Sichuan army actually still has fighter jets? What's it like?"

The reporters immediately put aside the unhappiness just now, and became concerned about new discoveries.

This news is still quite confidential, so far they have never heard of it through any channels.

Jiang Chao thought about it, and was very vague about the specific information about the aircraft: "It's fighter jets and bombers, with faster speed and much better performance than those of the Japanese army.

As long as we wait for them to come, we can guarantee that we will not be threatened by enemy planes. "

After the reporters saw the information, they would naturally learn about it, and it was not considered a leak of secrets.

The rest of Jiang Chao refused to say more.

After several hours of getting along, the reporters already knew that it would be difficult to ask more details from him.

"The Japanese Zero fighter is still very good. What fighter can be better than it?"

Randy chats with other reporters.

The United States is currently exploding its troops. It has not yet fought a large-scale battle with the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield, but there have been many confrontations between the air forces.

The F2A Buffalo fighter, which was mass-produced in [-], was the main carrier-based fighter equipped before the outbreak of the Pacific War.

However, in terms of performance, it was completely crushed by the Japanese temporary fighter jets, and many were shot down.

It was the F4F Wildcat fighter that was in service in [-] that broke the myth of the Japanese Zero fighter. The pilot could fly back and forth with the Zero fighter.

It is absolutely impossible to crush the Zero fighter.

Everyone Discussing Judging from the current situation, it is certain that the United States does not have a fighter that is much more advanced than the Zero fighter.

Then the fighter jets of the Sichuan Army are more advanced than the Zero Type.

Either it is bragging, or it is a weapon produced by more advanced technology like a tank.

Having seen so many incredible things in the Sichuan Legion, everyone agreed that it was the latter.

With a shy face, they asked Jiang Chao to borrow some binoculars to watch the battle of the plane later.

Just observing with the naked eye is not enough to meet their needs.

Shameless, Jiang Chao complained in his heart, but he still bit the bullet and lent it to them.
