Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 615 Army Red Deer
That afternoon, the Japanese and puppet troops had completed the encirclement of a regiment, but the enemy was not in a hurry to act.

Jing Dagang’s regiment was a standard regiment. When it was fully staffed, its number reached more than 2300. The artillery company directly under the regiment headquarters was dispatched by Zhou Weihan to support the battle in Heze, but a mountain artillery company was added separately. Therefore, the number of people did not change much. .

According to Jing Dagang's arrangement and according to the topography of the mountain, a total of three circular positions were arranged from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, with the second battalion and the third battalion on top in turn.

Since the old first battalion formed the independent regiment of the Southwest Military Division separately, the combat effectiveness of the new first battalion was still weak, so it served as a reserve team.

The battle was imminent, but there was no tense atmosphere on the ground. Some of the soldiers huddled up to rest, and there were not a few chatterers. While talking, their eyes kept looking around.

Li Ziwen, the political commissar of a group, led a platoon of soldiers from the back mountain to the front mountain position. Seeing Jing Dagang smoking a cigarette as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help saying: "Regimental Commander, the little devil is right in front of you, why are you not nervous at all?" what?"

When Jing Dagang heard the words, he glanced at him and said immediately: "Nervous, political commissar, I'm not talking about you, you are a battle-hardened person anyway, why do you still look like a recruit!"

"Although I didn't have much education before, I have read a lot of books now. The art of war is the courage of a soldier. As a commander, every move is in the eyes of the soldiers. Even if you die in the next second, you have to give the soldiers the courage to fight." Let's set an example!"

"Yes, yes, it makes you look like a political commissar!" Li Ziwen nodded, and then said sarcastically, "But, if the Communist Party members are here, then I'm definitely not nervous at all, you Jing Dagang It’s even less interesting than Communist Party members!”

Jing Dagang, who was ridiculed, laughed instead: "That's right, it's interesting now!"

Li Ziwen groaned, there was nothing he could do with his old partner, and then said: "I took people to the back mountain to look, and the Japanese army didn't find that path. So far, it's safe!"

"That's good, I hope it doesn't need to be used!"

The mountain forest where Yituan is located is nearly [-] li in the east-west direction, and the north-south span is not large. Jing Dagang set up his position here. Although it lacks strategic depth, the soldiers found several caves in the mountain before, one of which leads directly to The cliffs at the back of the mountain are sufficient for people and pack horses to pass through, and are covered by vines, which is undoubtedly an excellent escape route.

The story is divided into two parts. Not long after the Japanese army arrived at the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army also arrived at the west direction of the Japanese and puppet army. However, Zhou Weihan did not act in a hurry, but let the troops hide in the green gauze tent nearby.

When Zhou Weihan wondered why the Japanese army did not act, the telegraph operator trotted to report: "Commander, the headquarters has forwarded a telegram that the Japanese aircraft at Xinxiang Airport had taken off a moment ago. The headquarters informed our department to strengthen our defenses!"

"Notify the First Regiment and the Independent Regiment of this information immediately, and notify the First Regiment first!"

"Yes!" replied the telegraph operator.

"Damn it, I said it's going to be dark now, why hasn't the little devil made a move for so long, so he's waiting for us!"

"But it seems that the little devil is also cowardly. If this was used to sweep the base area before, he wouldn't just use the plane so easily!" Li Yunlong said.

"Yes, but this just shows that the Japanese and puppet troops seem to have a lot of troops, but they have nothing to show for it. They only wait for the enemy to fight with a regiment, and then take action to eliminate them!" Zhou Weihan said in a deep voice.

Not long after, the roar of planes suddenly came faintly from the sky. Zhou Weihan looked up at the sky, watching the Japanese planes flying in the direction of Qinglongji in the clouds.

Although the Tainan Military Region also has a flying team, it is still at a disadvantage compared to the Japanese army's aviation power. This is a hole card, and Zhou Weihan will never use it until the critical moment.

At the same time, the soldiers in a regiment's position also heard the roar of Japanese aircraft from the sky.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Jing Dagang ordered most of the soldiers of the regiment to retreat to several caves.

"Everyone get ready!" Jing Dagang said in a deep voice, at this time all the light and heavy machine guns in the regiment stayed on the position.

If it is usually in the middle of a battle with the Japanese army and the personnel on the position are too dense, Jing Dagang will definitely order to mix with the Japanese army formation.

But now that the little devil has learned his skills, the ground troops will not move forward, but let the planes bomb first.

Fortunately, at this time, a regiment's position is in the dense forest, and the personnel are relatively scattered.

The Japanese aircraft came from the southwest direction of Qinglongji.

A total of six Japanese aircraft came to Qinglongji to carry out the bombing mission, two Type [-] fighters were in charge of escorting, and there were also four Type [-] dive bombers.

The Type 7.7 fighter has two 25mm machine guns and can carry four [-]kg aerial bombs.

The Type [-] dive bomber is a light bomber and was one of the main dive bombers of the Japanese Army Air Force during World War II.

There are two 7.7mm caliber machine guns on the nose and one 7.7mm caliber machine gun on the rear of the machine, which can carry 400 kg of aerial bombs.

The six Japanese planes were not in a hurry to bomb, but hovered over the Japanese army first. The reason is very simple. The load capacity of the Japanese planes is generally not strong, and the mountain forest where the group is located is not small. In order not to waste aerial bombs, the Japanese planes Ground forces are needed for guidance.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops did not launch an attack, the [-]th and [-]th divisions of the Appeasement Army deployed on the east and west sides have been advancing along the mountains and forests towards the position of the first regiment. The Japanese army has been able to guess the location of the first regiment. .

The guidance method adopted by the Japanese army was also very simple. I saw that the 12 mountain cannons on the little devil artillery position fired in unison, and the target was directed at the position where the regiment was located.

In an instant, flames rose from many positions in a group of positions, and then flames rose.

Komine Takayuki, the leader of the Japanese flight team this time, was flying this Type [-] dive bomber. He was going to fly a fighter jet, but when he heard about a bombing mission, he forcibly snatched the bomber from another little devil pilot. driving rights.

Xiaofeng Xiaoxing did not pay attention to the Eighth Route Army at all. After all, the Eighth Route Army did not have regular anti-aircraft weapons. Although Japanese aircraft were occasionally shot down by the Eighth Route Army, Xiaofeng Xiaoxing believed that it was just that the pilots at that time were not blessed by Amaterasu.

At this time, Xiaofeng Xiaoxing on the plane saw the situation on the ground, and couldn't help being furious. He had suppressed his excitement for a long time, but he saw that the ground troops were guiding in such a rough way.

Then he scolded: "This group of damn army red deer, are they going to waste precious aerial bombs for nothing? I must report to my superiors after I go back!"

The Japanese army did not have a dedicated air force, and Takayuki Komine himself belonged to the combat order of the Japanese army aviation, but this did not affect the army aviation in the slightest to look down on the ordinary Japanese army.
