I am helping

At this time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army raised their heads and stared wide-eyed at the dense airdrops in the sky.

There are fighters with exaggerated expressions, their eyeballs are almost popping out.

Just because the scene in front of me was too shocking, densely packed airdrop boxes, with parachutes, fell towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

These parachutes are also all good material.

Under the parachute, it must be all shells.

On the Taigu line of defense, the devils looked at the densely packed supply airdrops that covered the entire sky, and their saliva almost flowed out with envy.

The Japanese army also has transport planes, and sometimes they can call for airdrops of supplies.

But the scale is small, and the airdrops dropped by parachutes can easily fall on the enemy's position.

The airdropped supplies called by the Eighth Route Army were not only large in number, but also landed very accurately. Almost all of them landed behind the Eighth Route Army's position.

First, 8 Japanese aircraft were shot down, and the Eighth Route Army dropped countless supplies by air, which caused a great psychological impact on the soldiers on both sides.

However, the psychological impact on the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was positive.

The psychological impact on Japanese soldiers was negative.

The same is combat, why is there such a big gap between air support and logistical supplies?

"Look, Miyazaki-kun, the Eighth Route Army has received a large number of airdrops."

In the Taigu Line of Defense Command of the Japanese Army, Major General Kaoru Motoizumi, head of the 14th Brigade, Major General Taro Nakanaga, head of the 18th Brigade, and Masao Miyazaki, deputy chief of staff of the First Army, were looking at the sky with binoculars.

In the field of vision of the telescope, countless airdrops with parachutes were densely packed and slowly landed on the positions and rear of the Eighth Route Army.

"Could these airdrops be artillery shells?" Taro Nakayaga spoke urgently.

"It should be the shell."

Masao Miyazaki gritted his teeth and said.

This reminded him of the battle at Baozishan, that is, a shameful battle, a battalion of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which almost defeated half of his brigade.

The battalion of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also received airdrop supplies in that battle.

After that battle was over, his hat as the commander of the 3rd Brigade was directly removed, and he was transferred to the First Army Headquarters as the deputy chief of staff.

However, it was a blessing in disguise, and he did not die in the hands of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Zhongjian Yin Sanxiong, who succeeded him as the head of the 3rd Brigade, was killed directly, and the 3rd Brigade was wiped out.

Masao Miyazaki made a rough calculation. Looking at the scale of the airdrop, there must be at least 10 shells.

Masao Miyazaki walked quickly to the phone, quickly shook the handle, and put the phone to his ear: "Moshi Moshi, this is the Taigu Defense Line Command, immediately connect me to the headquarters..."

Last night, the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade organized several small units.

Trying to penetrate into the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions and blow up some of the Eighth Route Army's cannons.

But who is the division commander? He had already ordered the troops to ambush around the artillery positions.

None of the devils who sneaked in escaped, and all of them were smashed into sieves by submachine guns.

Since Sword Squadron became famous in the first battle, the division commander also set up a special force, and specially invited a combat squad leader of Sword Squadron to be an instructor.

The name is the Sirius Commando, and there are more than 80 members, all of whom are elites selected from various units of the 129th Division. Among them are veterans of the Red Army.

Unless Yamamoto led the special agent team, otherwise, with the devils of the 14th and 18th brigades, they could only deliver food.

But having said that, the [-] main force elite of the Eighth Route Army is here, and if preparations have been made, even if Yamamoto leads the special agent team, it will only be wiped out.

In the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Watching the airdrop slowly land, the teacher also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Boss Chen would definitely send an airdrop, but when the shells were actually in his hands, the stone in the teacher's heart fell to the ground.

"Pass me an order to shoot out all the remaining half-base cannonballs from yesterday!"

The division commander issued a combat order in a harsh tone.

This level of airdrop, the devils in the opposite position will definitely see it.

If the devil commander was not a fool, he would have guessed that the airdrop was a shell.

It takes a lot of time to collect so many airdrops and move them to the artillery positions.

When all the shell boxes are moved to the position, the devils may have slipped from the position.

Therefore, the division commander decided to preemptively strike and ordered all the shells prepared on the position to be fired.

As long as you have shells in your hand, you don't panic.

After shooting out the shells on the position, they can be replenished immediately.

"Yes!" The chief of staff turned around and took the walkie-talkie, and ordered loudly, "Fire up all the remaining half-basis shells from yesterday!"

Following the order from the headquarters, a string of red flares rose into the air.

Tom tom tom, tom tom tom...

On the positions of the artillery groups of the Eighth Route Army, the artillery shells had already been stuffed into the barrels. When the signal flares were lifted into the air, the gunners immediately fired the shells.

Accompanied by the dense muffled sound, the fireworks fired from the cannons burst into pieces, and dust and mist flew up.

Crow-like shells suddenly fell in groups on the positions of the Japanese Taigu line of defense.

Boom, boom, boom...

In an instant, the entire Japanese defense line was filled with continuous puffs of explosion mud mist and gunpowder smoke, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers were flying with flesh and blood.

……

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked the Taigu defense line got an airdrop?"

Taiyuan.

In the headquarters of the First Army, Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu put the phone to his ear, listening to Masao Miyazaki's hasty report, his brows frowned slightly.

Yoshio Iwamatsu scolded: "Miyazaki-kun, isn't it just the Eighth Route Army that got the airdrop? What's all the fuss about?"

The Taigu Line of Defense built by the Japanese army was the barrier for Taiyuan to defend against the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi.

The Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi went north from the south and could bypass the Taigu line of defense.

But it can only go around by a small road, but the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army and heavy weapons with a caliber above 105mm must march along the road if they want to go north to attack Taiyuan.

Now Taiyuan's defense is very strong, and the 75mm caliber mountain artillery is no longer enough.

and so.

Even though the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade suffered heavy losses, Yoshio Iwamatsu did not want to give up the Taigu line of defense.

The 1st Cavalry Brigade is not in Taiyuan. Once the 14th and 18th Brigades abandon the Taigu line of defense, the Eighth Route Army can drive straight in with heavy artillery and attack Taiyuan.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Seeing that Yoshio Iwamatsu hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, Masao Miyazaki panicked:

"The Eighth Route Army received a lot of air-dropped supplies. At least 100 large transport planes dropped a lot of ammunition for the Eighth Route Army."

"The airdrop boxes cover the sky and block out the sun, and they are densely packed. It is impossible to count how many ammunition there are!"

"Also, the 14 locust planes that came to support the 18th and 8th brigades were also shot down by enemy planes!"

"Nani?" Yoshio Yanmatsu's face darkened suddenly: "So, the Eighth Route Army has shells again, and they shelled the Taigu defense line?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Masao Miyazaki said, "I suggest that the 14th and 18th Brigades immediately transfer to the defense line of Xiaodian Town."

"Boom boom boom..."

As soon as Masao Miyazaki finished speaking, there were continuous explosions from the receiver next to Yoshio Iwamatsu's ear.

"Commander, your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is attacking again, our Taigu defense line, shelling!"

After a while, Masao Miyazaki's intermittent report came from the receiver.

Kazuo Yanmatsu's face changed, and he immediately said: "Immediately order the 14th and 18th Brigades to transfer to the defense line of Xiaodian Town!"

Masao Miyazaki: "Hi!"

……

"Master, the enemy seems to be fleeing..."

On the front line, in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Chief of Staff of the 129th Division put down the binoculars on his chest and reported to the division commander.

Commander Liu was looking at the map with a magnifying glass lying on his stomach. Hearing what the chief of staff said, he hurried to the window of the command headquarters, leaned in front of the artillery mirror and looked at the Japanese positions.

Through the field of vision of the artillery team mirror, the devils in the defensive positions, earthworks, and bomb defense holes all got out of the fortifications and retreated towards the back.

It's just that the devils originally hid in the fortifications and could avoid the shelling for a while.

The devils and the puppet army went out of the fortifications, and they were exposed all at once. Without the fortifications, the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army was covered by artillery fire.

The casualties of the devils and the puppet army increased instantly, with limbs and arms flying around.

However, a considerable number of devils and puppet soldiers escaped from the defensive position and ran towards the rear.

Seeing that the devils and puppet troops were about to escape from their positions.

The division commander smiled slightly, not panicking at all: "Chief of Staff, order the artillery groups to adopt Xu Jin's barrage bombardment method, and let the shells follow the devils and puppet troops."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff turned and went to give the order.

Following the order of the division headquarters, each artillery group launched a Xu Jin barrage bombardment at the enemy.

The dense shells were like streamers of light, drawing a beautiful arc across the sky, chasing the fleeing devils and puppet soldiers with a sharp whistling sound.

About ten seconds later, swarms of shells landed among the crowd of devils and puppet soldiers. During the explosion, the devils and puppet soldiers' stumps, limbs, arms, and flesh flew all over the place, emitting thick gunpowder smoke.

However, the devils and puppet soldiers who were still alive turned a deaf ear and just ran forward.

The clever puppet soldiers pretended to fall to the ground and pretended to be dead. Whether they survived or not depended on God's will. The puppet soldiers no longer wanted to follow the devils back to Taiyuan.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, and this group of puppet troops has already lost their fighting spirit.

……

"idiot!"

"Xu Jin barrage?"

"The Eighth Route Army actually understands Xu Jin's barrage!?"

Masao Miyazaki, who was galloping on horseback, turned his head and saw the scene where the cannonball followed the fleeing locust army and the locust alliance army forward.

Unbelievable.

The 14th Brigade Commander Yuan Quanxin and the 18th Brigade Commander Nakayataro on the side also looked like they had seen a ghost.

There is nothing commendable about Xu Jin's barrage tactic, and the Japanese artillery will also Xu Jin's barrage.

But at this time, the Xu Jin barrage used by the Eighth Route Army can definitely cause great casualties to the 14th and 18th Brigades.

I thought that as long as the soldiers escaped from the fortifications, they would survive. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army adopted Xu Jin's barrage tactics.

However, the three major generals and some officers had military horses, and the shells of the Eighth Route Army could not catch up.

But those locust army soldiers and locust alliance soldiers were bombed miserably.

Many soldiers discarded heavy weapons such as Type [-] heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry artillery, and just ran wildly.
