Chapter 210 Bombardment!

On May 1941, 5, there was still half an hour before the Japanese army officially launched an offensive.

Neiji Okamura looked at the busy staff officers in front of him and showed a very satisfied smile.He stared at the strategic situation map with vicious eyes, and said to the chief of staff beside him:

"Mr. Tanabe, this time the Republic of China troops in Zhongtiao Mountain will definitely be unable to escape. With the power of a great victory, the Eighth Route Army operating in North China will definitely be like a chicken and a dog against the warriors of our brother country."

"Contact Yan Baichuan and give him a part of the county to ease our relationship. Our North China Front Army has limited strength, so it's better to let the locals take care of it. As long as he is willing to surrender, everything will be fine."

"Pay attention to let the troops strictly guard against the Eighth Route Army, those people are the last hidden danger."

Next to the map, Tanabe Shengwu nodded while recording. He has been in charge of persuading surrender since he left the 41st Division, and he knows Yan Baichuan very well.

That is a typical miser, as long as he is willing to share a lot of benefits, the other party will surrender sooner or later.

"You're right, separating some counties can not only completely stabilize the Jinsui Army. It can even liberate some troops and improve the security of our occupied areas. It really kills two birds with one stone."

"I'll tell my subordinates to do it now, and leave it to me."

"it is good!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the devils who felt sure of winning suddenly attacked together, launching a pincer offensive from the east, west, and north, and attacking the Zhongtiao Mountain area with a central breakthrough.

After precise deployment, the eastern section of the defense line was in charge of the 21st and 35th Divisions directly under the direct control of the Front Army, plus a [-]th Independent Cavalry Brigade.

They set off from Yu Province, aiming at the heart of the No.14 Army.

In an attempt to make full use of the mobility of the troops and the obstacles of the Yellow River on the side, completely cut off the retreat of the Guogu defenders.

The First Army attacked from Jin Province, divided the battlefield with four divisions, and divided the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line into two areas that were not connected from the end to the end.

Once joined with the troops under the direct control of the front army wedged into the enemy's position from the side, they can make a big dumpling with the enemy.

Next, it only needs to fight a few internal annihilation battles and repeatedly mop up the 20 Republic of China troops on the opposite side.

·····
At Xinxiang Airport, 108 aircraft of various types of Army Aviation took off in turn. This is a large formation composed of Type [-] fighter jets, Type [-] heavy explosives and Type [-] single light.

Considering that the Guofu defenders have no air supremacy at all, the bombers in the formation accounted for [-]%.

The few fighter jets are also equipped with aerial bombs, without considering the possibility of escort and air combat at all.

After all the planes had set off, the Type [-] fighter jets of a flying team took the lead and flew towards the Ninth Army defense area.

In the communication channel, Nakasa Ishida Reizo who was in charge of the command said in a frivolous tone:

"Everyone, take it easy. We came all the way from the Northeast to reap the fruits of the war. There won't be any bloody northern bastards in this battle, and there won't be any Yi-15 and Yi-16."

"Our task is just to fly over the enemy's position and drop the bombs mounted on it. Then you can hunt freely and use the aviation machine guns in your wings to shoot at those trembling Republicans."

"But you must pay attention to those possible anti-aircraft weapons. I don't want one of you to die in such a place. It will be a disgrace to the team."

As soon as these words were said, the channel fell into a brief silence, and then various cheers broke out.

Obviously the battle hadn't started yet, but they seemed to have seen the Ninth Army suffering heavy casualties under the aviation machine guns and aerial bombs.

And these devils were not at all worried about being monitored by the fruit.

After all, you can't expect a group of people who can't get enough to eat, so how can they put their minds on defense.What's more, the other party's conditions are so difficult, and they don't have the conditions to monitor.

"Ishida Zhongzuo, don't worry! I will definitely drop the bomb on the enemy's head accurately and send those poor people on their way!"

"The terrain near Jiyuan is very suitable for combat! As long as we lower the altitude a little, we can definitely wipe them out."

Hearing the discussion of his subordinates, Reizo Ishida smiled evilly.He said this on purpose, purely to arouse his subordinates' desire to attack.

Only by quickly defeating the Ninth Army can they join the 33rd Division in the direction of Yuanqu and complete the internal encirclement of the 14th Army of the Zhongtiao Mountain Defender.

At that time, the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line will be divided into two, and the battle will be won.And he Ishida Reizo is very likely to be promoted to Colonel because of his outstanding performance.

The same thing happened to the two bomber squadrons. At this time, both the pilots and the machine gunners had red eyes, and each of them wanted to tear off the flesh of the preserved fruit troops.

Soon, 108 planes flew over the home army.A full 5000 infantry, more than [-] horses, artillery, armored vehicles and tanks are also available.

Such a luxurious lineup made them feel a little proud, coupled with the bursts of cheers from the ground, all the devil pilots fell into a state of frenzy.

Fifteen minutes later, three flying teams arrived over the Ninth Army's position.

"Target found! No anti-aircraft positions found!"

"Haha, those stupid people of the Republic of China don't know our real intentions at all. They have long been deceived by Commander Neiji Okamura's suspicious tactics."

"Go! Go! Go! Attack!"

Amidst the howling and howling of ghosts and wolves, the three models made the choice not to use them.

The [-] Danqing is the main dive bomber of the Devils Army Aviation, and it is also their first monoplane bomber, with a bomb load of [-] pounds.

Under the leadership of the leading lieutenant, the devils began to look for their targets.The task of their team is to clear all air defense positions that may threaten heavy bombers.

"First Squadron, attack."

The twelve ninety-seven planes ended their circle lightly, and the pilots drove the bomber and began to lower the altitude, and then pressed down the joystick and began to dive to prepare for bombing.

These people are just feinting, that is to say, finding out the anti-aircraft firepower point is considered to complete the task, so the dive angle of the plane is not large.

Seeing that the height of the No. [-] Squadron was about to enter the range of the anti-aircraft machine guns, Haruhiko Mizukami, the commander of the dive bomber team, issued another order on the communication channel.

"Second Squadron, enter the combat position!"

Another twelve nine-seven singles began to lower their heights, gradually approaching the Ninth Army's position.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Ninth Army finally couldn't bear it anymore. More than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns fired from different positions, sprinkling a rain of bullets on the diving enemy.

Some soldiers on the machine gun positions also spontaneously organized and began to fight back with anti-aircraft machine guns.

But the first squadron, which was still in an offensive posture, stopped diving and pulled up their bombers one after another, while the second group behind them launched an attack on the air defense position.

"well!"

"These candied fruit troops are so cooperative, they are still so stupid after fighting for four years."

This scene made Mizukami Higashihiko laugh out loud, he was very satisfied with the effect of his fighter.Just a feint attack deceived the enemy's most valuable air defense position and ended the mission perfectly.

And those shooters with anti-aircraft machine guns can basically be regarded as fighting randomly, with a large amount of overlapping firepower nets.

Originally combined with light and heavy machine guns, it was possible to pose a threat to the second squadron.But now with half the effort, he can't even force his side to pull up and give up the attack.

Mizugami Haruhiko had great confidence in his subordinates, after all, they were pilots transferred from the Kwantung Army.Compared with the intensity in the north, it seems to be back to Xinshou Village now.

He firmly believed that the second squadron could solve the anti-aircraft firepower point, so he directly issued the order to attack.

"Third Squadron, prepare to attack!"

"Freedom to choose high-value targets, regardless of those anti-aircraft positions."

The fact is also as he expected, the first and second squadrons quickly solved all the anti-aircraft machine guns by virtue of accurate bombing.

Except for one unlucky one who was blown up on the spot, the remaining 23 [-]s completed their assigned tasks easily and easily.

Because the ground troops were no longer able to organize an effective air defense force, this situation made the devils of the third squadron very arrogant.

They flew the plane, and the position of the dive was even slightly beyond the safe height before dropping the bomb.

When the fuselage was pulled up at the end of the dive, bursts of violent explosions rose from the outer positions of the Ninth Army.

Unlike the nine-seven single light that dives and attacks, the nine-seven heavy explosion is a twin-engine bomber, and the attack method is horizontal bombing.

After the dive bombers had dealt with the few air defense positions, they finished circling and carried five Type 450 [-]-pound killers, swaggering towards the core area of ​​the Ninth Army position.

Seeing the heavy bombers entering the field, the Type [-] fighters headed by Reizo Ishida immediately stopped their current security work.They began to lower their altitude, preparing to attack the ground.

·····
Time went back to 3 minutes before the [-] Danqing attack, on the outer positions of the Ninth Army.

The intelligence from various sources in the past few days has indicated one thing, the enemy must be attacking the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain.As a miscellaneous of miscellaneous names, the entire Ninth Army has little confidence in this battle.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the distant sky.

As a battalion commander who has been in various major war zones and survived four years of fighting, Tian Fujie immediately realized that the devil's plane was coming.

"The plane is coming! Hurry up and hide!! Everyone enters the bomb hole!!"

After hearing the order, all the soldiers started to act one after another.Some veterans even recruit recruits from their hometowns, saving them from unexplained deaths in air strikes.

But after waiting for a full half a minute, the imaginary bombing did not fall on his head. This unusual situation made everyone look confused.

If the soldiers of the motley army want to survive, they must hug each other to keep warm.

As a conscientious battalion commander, Tian Fujie felt that he was responsible for his brothers.So after struggling in his heart for a moment, he cautiously crawled out of the blasthole to check the situation.

As soon as the veteran Youzi came out, he saw the [-]th Danqing of the Devil's Second Squadron, diving towards his own air defense position.

"Damn it, these idiots! Why are you firing now! You don't know how to use anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense! Shouldn't they fight back after the devil's plane has dropped its bombs?"

In fact, what Tian Fujie said is also reasonable. After all, the dive bomber needs to climb to gain altitude after dropping the bomb.

At that time, the maneuverability of the aircraft was the worst, and it was also the time when the lateral area was the largest.If the level of the shooter is high enough, you can definitely lay down a fight.

After watching for a while, the veteran even cursed in his native dialect.

"Why is this melon skin? I don't know the amount of advance. After fighting for a long time, not a single plane was shot down. What a good anti-aircraft machine gun, it was all wasted by these soil hammers."

"Missed again, don't look at it, don't look at it."

Strictly speaking, those shooter dishes cannot be blamed.After all, it wasn't long after they received the new weapons, and they didn't have time to get familiar with the ones in their hands.

If there were no devils to attack aggressively, they might not be able to touch anti-aircraft machine guns for a lifetime. This is the treatment of miscellaneous troops.

After the air defense position was completely wiped out, the Devil's No. [-] Squadron and No. [-] Squadron began hunting with impunity.

These days, they choose targets at random, and Tian Fujie and his battalion also became targets because they have a cannon.

A 100-pound aerial bomb landed firmly near his hiding place.The powerful destructive force directly collapsed the hard-earned anti-blasting holes.

When the battalion deputy cut him out of the soil, Tian Fujie's ears and nose were covered in blood.My mind was buzzing, and I couldn't say anything for a while.

At this time, the battlefield has become a mess, and there are soldiers running around everywhere.

"Medical soldier! The second platoon leader is dead! Medical soldier!"

"Squad leader! Press it yourself first! A clean cloth! Who still has a clean cloth!"

"Stop the bleeding first! There's too much blood, I can't see the wound clearly! Drag it back!"

"Commander! Open your eyes! Look at me! Don't sleep!"

Tian Fujie, who had slowed down a little bit, supported the battalion deputy's shoulders and stood up. Looking at the chaotic position, he said anxiously to his adjutant:

"Quick! Gather all the brothers who can still move, the devil's infantry is about to fight up!"

"If this chaos continues, everyone will die!"

But at this moment, a shell fell on their position.

A large number of mountain artillery, field artillery and large-caliber howitzers of the Devils tilted their fire towards the Ninth Army's position, and many soldiers who had not yet returned to the anti-cannon cave died tragically on the spot.

First bombing and then shelling, this kind of high-intensity attack has never been seen by even a veteran like Tian Fujie.

What's more, the [-] heavy bomber is about to enter the sky above the Ninth Army's position. No one wants this kind of heavy bomber to slip around their heads. Everyone knows what will happen to the mountain city.

A boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was hiding in the bomb hole, his eyes were trembling and his eyes were blank.The powerful shells and aerial bombs made him forget what the veteran said.

"What about our Chinese air force! Don't we have planes? Who can help me?"

This scene made the veteran in the cave a little unbearable. He pulled the boy to his side and said helplessly:
“The Chinese Air Force? It was over in 1937.”

 I sent an easter egg chapter, which is the troop deployment map of Zhongtiaoshan
