I am helping

"Hey, Boss Li calls pigeons, Boss Li calls pigeons."

Li Yunlong continued to call.

"The pigeon received it, please tell me!"

After calling twice, the pilot's voice came from the receiver, the tone was a little cold, but Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile slightly when they heard the voice.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a microphone: "Boss Li needs support."

The voice of the pigeon came again: "The fleet will arrive in the target airspace in 5 minutes, please mark the target with red smoke bombs!"

"Boss Li received it!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong immediately adjusted the channel and wavelength, and entered the radio channels of Lu Yingjun and the artillery positions.

"Attention all units, attention all units!"

"After 5 minutes, fire a red smoke grenade at the enemy's location."

"After 5 minutes, fire a red smoke grenade at the enemy's location."

Fearing that the units could not hear clearly, Li Yunlong repeated the order twice loudly.

"Dong Er received!"

"Dong San received!"

"Dong [-] received!"

Immediately afterwards, the voices of Lu Yingjun, Wang Chengzhu, and Cao Sanlian rang through the radio receiver.

After hanging up the call, Li Yunlong realized that Chu Yunfei was looking at him in shock.

Chu Yunfei couldn't believe it and asked: "Brother Yunlong, if I heard you right, did you just... call for air support?"

In the past, the Jinsui army was equipped with aircraft, and several airports were built in Shanxi.

It's just that when the devils came, the planes of the Jinsui Army were quickly destroyed by the devils, and even the airport and aviation fuel were seized by the devils.

In the past, the Jinsui Army might be able to call for air support in combat. Although the planes equipped by the Jinsui Army were rubbish, they could fly and drop bombs anyway.

But now that he was fighting the Japanese army and calling for air support, Chu Yunfei didn't even dare to think about it, even if he shouted out his throat, he couldn't call for an airplane.

And Eighth Road can actually call for air support from the plane, can you believe that?

Li Yunlong nodded: "Brother Yunfei heard correctly, I was indeed calling for air support just now."

Although he was very excited, Li Yunlong acted calmly in front of Chu Yunfei, as if it was nothing at all.

Zhao Gang said, "Let's quickly find a place with high ground and see how the planes bomb the devils."

"That's right." Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "This kind of big scene is not common, we can't miss it."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong turned to Chu Yunfei and said, "Brother Yunfei, let's go take a look together?"

"Please!" Chu Yunfei gestured, and he couldn't wait.

Li Yunlong said quickly: "Huzi, take the radio and the telephone with you."

Huang Erhu said: "Yes!"

At that moment, Huang Erhu put on the radio, and several soldiers from the guard company held the phone and followed closely by the phone line.

Throughout the Hundred Regiments War, the Eighth Route Army seized a large number of telephone wires, a total of more than 40 kilograms, so the Eighth Route Army did not lack telephone wires.

Two to three minutes later, Li Yunlong and his team climbed to the highest point of the mountain, holding up their binoculars and looking in the direction of the battlefield.

The continuous roar of guns and guns indicated that the battle was extremely fierce.

A large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the direction of the battlefield, and the smoke was billowing, covering the sky and the sun.

This is also the reason for using red smoke bombs. If black smoke bombs are used, the pilot will not be able to distinguish the target.

……

At the same time, 3 kilometers away from the headquarters of the new regiment.

It is about 1.5 kilometers away from the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the devils.

At the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, a combat staff officer reported the situation on the battlefield to the head of the brigade, Koshio Toranosuke.

"Report to the head of the brigade! The firepower of the Eighth Route is extremely fierce, and the combat effectiveness is very tenacious."

"In addition, the Eighth Route also has artillery support from mountain artillery positions in at least three directions. One of our mountain artillery squadrons was severely damaged!"

"The exchange of fire took less than a quarter of an hour, and our casualties were no less than 350. Although the Eight Routes defended very fiercely, there seems to be no sign of the Eight Routes counterattacking at present, and they just stopped."

350 people, almost the strength of two squadrons.

In less than a quarter of an hour in a head-to-head fight, two squadrons were actually lost. Is this Eighth Route so strong?
Koshio Toranosuke seemed to smell something unusual, and this eight-way force was more powerful than any Chinese army he had encountered before.

Could it be that the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army, the Xinyi Regiment of the 9th Brigade, was fighting the 386th Brigade?
Koshio Toranosuke asked, "How many troops does the enemy have?"

"The enemy has no less than 3000 troops on the front!" The combat staff officer replied, "But the enemy's artillery and mountain artillery have at least one mountain artillery regiment."

"A mountain cannon unit?" Koshiki Toranosuke frowned deeply.

Although the number of artillery fire from the Eighth Route can be roughly judged from the sound of the artillery, but hearing this, I still couldn't help being upset.

None of his elite brigades were equipped with a mountain cannon squadron, how could the Eighth Route be equipped with so many mountain cannons?
The 9th Brigade has a mountain artillery brigade with a total of 12 mountain artillery. In addition, there are artillery squadrons equipped with infantry artillery under the jurisdiction of each brigade.

The best equipment is a tank squadron and an armored vehicle squadron, each equipped with 10 tanks or armored vehicles.

It's just that these heavy equipment were equipped at the peak of the 9th Brigade. In the Hundred Regiments War launched by the Eighth Route Army, the 9th Brigade had already lost a lot of heavy equipment.

Never got replenished.

The other half of the heavy equipment was taken away by Mioka Saburo, and now the 9th Brigade does not have many usable heavy weapons.

The Eighth Route is actually equipped with an artillery wing, and he doesn't know if this is all the artillery of the Eighth Route. If there is another artillery wing, it will be impossible to fight the battle.

After all, judging from the battle of Moshiwa and the battle of Guanjianao, there are several artillery regiments in the hands of Balu.

If the flying team of the First Army still exists, then the air force can be called immediately to deal with the artillery positions of the Eighth Route.

But now the Kwantung Army's flight team assigned to the First Army is not in place, and it is impossible to call for aviation support.

Koshio Toranosuke asked, "Is there still no movement in the direction of Dagouwan?"

The combat staff officer replied: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, there is still no movement!"

Koshio Toranosuke frowned suddenly, there was no gunfire in the direction of Dagou Bay, and the reinforcements from the observation group were either wiped out, or they were still fighting hand-to-hand.

Now, if you want to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and reach Dagou Bay, it will definitely be impossible to do it in a short period of time with the current force.

No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to rescue the reinforcements.

Oshigyu Toranosuke said: "Endo-kun, send a telegram to Commander Shinozuka immediately regarding the situation here!"

"Hi!" The combat staff officer turned and walked out.

"Report!" The combat staff officer had just left when the voice of Communications Officer Kenjiro Maruda sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" Koshiki Toranosuke said.

"Brigade Commander, Commander Shinozuka is calling!" Kenjiro Maruda walked in holding a telegram.

"Read!"

"Hi!" Kenjiro Maruda picked up the telegram and read, "The 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 29th Brigade are approaching your department, and each department will rush to the Dagouwan area in at most one day, order your department Continue to deal with the main forces of the Eight Routes, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will wipe out the main forces of the Eight Routes in one fell swoop, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Japanese Army!"

Koshio Toranosuke relaxed, as long as he didn't fight Balu to the death.

If it's just dealing with the Eight Routes, then it's not a big problem.

"Immediately send the telegram prepared by Endo-kun to the headquarters, and call Commander Shinozuka. The Ninth Brigade has been unable to reach Dagou Bay, but must complete the containment task!"

"Hi!" Kenjirou Maruda paused, then turned and walked out.

Koshio Toranosuke narrowed his eyes: "Order the soldiers in front to stop attacking!"

A staff officer quickly picked up the phone and passed on the combat order.

Koshio Toranosuke is going to follow Eight Routes to recruit the enemy to retreat and advance, and the enemy to advance and retreat.

If the eight-way attack, I can't win, I will run, if the eight-way does not attack, I will confront you, if the eight-way retreats, I will stick it like a dog's skin plaster.

Isn't it just guerrilla warfare? I, the Imperial Japanese Army, will do it too. Oshigō Toranosuke looks confident.

"It's not good!" The combat staff officer hurried in, panicking, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, Eight Routes fired poison gas bombs at my position!"

"Nani? Gas bomb?" Oshio Toranosuke's face changed slightly, and he quickly raised the binoculars to look forward through the observation hole.

Amidst the rumbling artillery, clouds of red smoke rose over the Japanese positions.

But Koshiro Toranosuke was not too worried. Even if Hachiro used chemical bombs to attack, most of his soldiers had gas masks.

Ding Ding Ding!
The phone on the table inside the headquarters rang, and a staff officer quickly picked it up and put it to his ear.

After a while, the devil's staff officer grabbed the phone's microphone and reported to Koshio Toranosuke: "Brigade Commander, report from the forward position, the eighth route is not a chemical bomb, but a smoke bomb."

"smoke bomb?"

Koshiki Toranosuke was at a loss.

What is Eight Road doing?Playing red smoke bombs to scare the imperial army?
Or did Balu deliberately pretend that there were no shells to lure the imperial army to attack?

Yuesheng Hunosuke was guessing the intention of the Eighth Route Army.

suddenly.

There were some faint humming sounds in the sky.

As a seasoned veteran, Oshigatsu Toranosuke immediately understood that there was a plane flying towards them.

Ok?
Could it be that the air support from the 3rd Flying Squadron of the North China Front Army came?

I didn't call air support?On the radio, Commander Shinozuka did not say that he had called for air support to the 9th Brigade.

The bewildered Ogyu Toranosuke walked out of the headquarters, raised his binoculars and looked towards the sky.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw dozens of planes flying in the sky, flying towards this direction like sharp swords.

"It's not a Type 97 attack aircraft, it's not a Type [-] heavy attack aircraft, and it's not a Type [-] land attack aircraft."

"There is no plaster icon on the fuselage, nor the blue sky and white sun icon of China."

"Wait, Baga, the plane is coming towards us!"

Reminiscent of the red smoke grenade fired by Hachiro just now, Koshiko Toranosuke's expression changed drastically.

As soon as I said that, all the devils suddenly noticed that the roar of the plane was getting louder and getting closer.
