Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 468 Devil's air strike, Li Yunlong was a blessing in disguise
"Buzz!"

"Buzz buzz!—"

The devil's fighter plane was getting closer, and the sound of the roaring engine became more and more clear, which brought a great sense of oppression to the Eighth Route Army and the civilians below.

"not good!"

"It's a plane, it's a devil's plane!—"

"Hidden, hide quickly!——"

The people in the city took back their rooms one after another, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were on duty on the streets also sought shelter nearby.

Li Yunlong, Cheng Xiazi and others are of course no exception.

Perhaps, the Devils Air Corps already knew the news of the fall of Pingding County. After flying over Pingding County, it immediately swooped towards the ground at high speed like a goshawk pouncing a rabbit.

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!—"

During the dive, the Devil Airmen pressed the bomb release button again, and in an instant, more than a dozen aerial bombs were detached from the bomb carrier, and smashed towards the ground like a meteorite falling to the ground.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

After about a few seconds, the bombs fell to the ground and exploded one after another, setting up clusters of scarlet flames on the ground.

The lightest of these aerial bombs is more than 25mm, and many of them are 50kg. The explosive power is comparable to or even exceeds that of a 150mm caliber howitzer shell.

Near the landing point of the aerial bomb, the houses were overwhelmed and collapsed directly. All kinds of masonry and rubble were scattered everywhere along with the shock wave of the explosion.

Some Eighth Route Army soldiers and ordinary people who were in it were directly killed on the spot, and some were buried alive on the spot.

The wounded were even more numerous.

Immediately after the bombing was over, the Devil's aviation unit manipulated the fighter planes and strafed the ground violently.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da da!——"

Dozens of airborne machine guns opened fire one after another, pouring out hot bullet rain like plowing the ground, pulling up eye-catching smoke belts on the ground.

Countless tiles on the roof were smashed to pieces and scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, the devil didn't know that the main force of the new regiment was still in the county, so after a direct retaliatory strike, he raised his flight altitude and continued to scout ahead.

As for whether it will hurt civilians, it is completely out of the consideration of the Devils Air Corps. These beasts don't treat Chinese people as human beings at all, and they even did things like massacre cities.

Therefore, they don't care about accidentally injuring civilians, and they don't feel even a trace of guilt in their hearts.

Xia Family Courtyard.

Li Yunlong shook the dust on his head, gritted his teeth and cursed: "You son of a bitch, I will break off the wings of your plane sooner or later!"

"Tiger!"

"Have!"

The guard Huzi immediately ran over: "Leader, please give instructions."

Li Yunlong: "How many casualties have been caused to our Xinyi Regiment and the people in the county town by the devil's air strike?"

Huzi: "The casualties have not been counted yet."

Li Yunlong: "Tell the commanders of the third battalion and the fourth battalion to rescue the wounded immediately, especially the ordinary people!"

"Yes!"

Huzi agreed with a bang, and after saluting Li Yunlong again, he turned around and left to convey the order.

Originally, Pingding County belonged to the enemy-occupied area, and members of our party could only lurk underground, unable to carry out propaganda. Coupled with the demonization of devils and puppet troops, many people did not know what kind of team the Eighth Route Army was, and there were almost no masses Basics to speak of.

And this action of Li Yunlong immediately established a very good image in the hearts of the people in Pingding County.

The common people also believed in their propaganda more and more.

Although before this, the devils and the puppet army would also do propaganda, but they would only conduct oral propaganda and would not benefit the common people.

Don't even care about the life and death of ordinary people.

Right now, the Eighth Route Army is rescuing the injured civilians first, and then rescuing its own wounded. It has proved their propaganda with practical actions, and it has also convinced the common people that the Eighth Route Army is indeed their own team.

In addition, as soon as the Eighth Route Army entered the city, it helped the common people fight against injustice, beat local tyrants, punished bullies, and even opened warehouses to release grain.

Even though it's only been less than a day, a good mass foundation has been laid here, and the prestige is no less than that of many bases.

Of course, that's another story.

After the devil's retaliatory actions were over, Li Yunlong continued to attack the local tyrants again.

Fortunately, the warehouses of the major local tyrants and evil gentry are all underground, so the devil's bombing did not cause any damage to the warehouses.

The Xia family granary, because it was not directly bombed, was preserved intact.

This can't help but let Li Yunlong heave a sigh of relief.

……

Change noodles and pull to Yangquan County.

Not surprisingly, Yangquan County was also attacked by devils in retaliation, and the group of devil planes that had just launched an air strike on Pingding County passed through Yangquan first, and then arrived in Pingding.

Similar to the situation in Pingding County, the Devil Air Force's air strike on Yangquan County was just to vent their anger, and it was almost swept away, and it didn't last long.

In addition, unlike Li Yunlong, Wang Chengzhu had just won Pingding County. He had taken Yangquan County for several hours.

Air defense preparations have been made in advance, so the casualties of the Second Independent Regiment are far less than those of the New First Regiment.

……

Today is destined to be a turbulent, extraordinary, and unsettled day.

nine in the morning.

mountain city.

The Chairman personally attended the press conference.

At the reception, the Chairman focused on the brilliant results achieved by the Eighth Route Army (18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army) in the southeast of Shanxi last night, and clearly expressed his confidence in the victory of the War of Resistance.

For a time, the crowd was excited.

Attending this press conference were not only domestic reporters, but also foreign reporters, and even Japanese spies.

Therefore, Okamura Ningji, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army who was far away in Beiping, learned the news almost immediately.

Afterwards, this old devil, whose expression did not fluctuate, was so angry that he dropped his glass this time.

"Clap!"

The teacup fell heavily on the ground, and it immediately shattered, the tea splashed all over the floor, and the crumbs were scattered everywhere.

Several staff adjutants in the office were frightened and fell silent, drooping their heads and saying nothing, for fear of misfortune.

At this time, Chief of Staff Naozaburo Okabe was about to report to Neiji Okamura again. When he came to the door, he happened to see the broken teacup and Neiji Okamura's extremely distorted face. .

Not only was he surprised, but as Okamura Ningji's deputy, Okabe Naozaburo knew that the other party was a person who could control his emotions extremely.

So he walked into the office and asked, "Your Excellency, why are you so angry? What happened?"

Okamura Neiji did not answer, but picked up a document on the desktop and handed it to Okabe Naozaburo: "Okabe-kun, you can read it yourself."
