I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 194 Artillery suppression, devil reinforcements appear

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Baoguo pulled Xu Qingfeng aside alone and deliberately lowered his voice: "Qingfeng, I have something to ask for."

Xu Qingfeng said disapprovingly: "Old company commander, you talk to me like that, isn't it too far-fetched? If you have anything to do, just say it, and I will do it if I can."

Lin Baoguo said: "I want to join the team, you can see if it's okay."

"Return to the team?" Xu Qingfeng was startled for a moment, and then realized: "The old company commander wants to join the Huben regiment?"

"Yes, it is my dream to fight side by side with our brothers." Lin Baoguo said earnestly, "Do you think it is possible?"

"Of course you can." Xu Qingfeng asked, "Which army does Lao Linqian belong to now?"

"The 26th Army, but my regiment leader has already died, and there are less than 300 people left in the regiment. I want to bring them back to the Huben regiment."

Lin Baoguo Road.

"This matter is easy to handle. After we go back and lift the siege of Hefei and wipe out the Japanese army in front of us, I will go to General Xu Yuanquan in person and tell him. I am sure he will sell this favor to me."

Xu Qingfeng patted his chest and promised.

"That's good." Lin Baoguo was completely relieved.

The two returned to the place where everyone was talking just now. Only then did Liang Shan bother to ask for instructions: "Commander, now that the friendly forces have completely stopped attacking the Japanese, are we just going to watch the Japanese build the ring fortifications?" "

Xu Qingfeng said awe-inspiringly: "Of course you can't let the little devil dig the circular fortifications so comfortably. Immediately order the artillery battalion to immediately shoot at the mound occupied by the Japanese army to harass the devil."

"Yes!" Liang Shan responded, and immediately took orders to leave.

Lin Baoguo couldn't help but said in surprise and joy: "Old Xu, you are really developed now, you even have an artillery battalion."

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "In addition to the artillery battalion, we also have a cavalry company with more than 4000 people in the regiment, all German equipment and some Japanese weapons."

"That's really great, especially the artillery. With our own artillery, the offensive and defensive capabilities will be greatly enhanced."

Lin Baoguo smiled sincerely and proudly.

While the two were talking, Wang Tiezhu, who received the order, immediately directed the artillery battalion to open fire.

More than a dozen [-]-type infantry guns and mortars roared one after another, smashing shells one by one into the Japanese army's temporary blocking line of defense and the mound behind it.

Because the artillery battalion had been here for some time, and the target of the Japanese retreat was large, there was almost no need for test firing.

The first round of artillery shells from the artillery battalion fell on the devils.

Many devil soldiers who were urgently digging trenches and rushing to repair fortifications were immediately blown upright, bloody and bloody, and stumped limbs and arms flew around.

In addition, some shells hit some devils, which were used to resist the attack of the national army.

Boom boom boom!Amidst the violent explosions, one after another Japanese military trucks, motorcycles, and grain carts were destroyed and caught fire.

The devil's blocking troops hiding behind the above-mentioned vehicles were also caught in an instant.

They were either killed by shell fragments or hit by vehicle debris. Suddenly, screams broke out and the casualties increased sharply.

Because our own blocking troops repelled the national army's full-scale siege, and Akira Sakamoto, who had just had time to breathe a sigh of relief, faced the sudden artillery attack, his expression changed drastically.

Under the protection of several accompanying adjutants and guards, he hurriedly lay down behind a big tree to hide.

After more than ten rounds of artillery fire from the Huben Regiment ended, he struggled to get up from behind the big tree.

Looking back and looking around, I saw that the entire mound was almost covered in thick smoke from the explosion.

The wails of various own soldiers for help can be heard endlessly.

"Baga! Where is the aviation unit? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Akira Sakamoto, who has always had an absolute advantage in artillery fire and has almost never been bombarded, suddenly became furious.

Before the old devil finished speaking, there happened to be a roar of aircraft engines in the southeast sky.

A Japanese adjutant with sharp ears quickly turned around to look at the sound.

When he saw his own fighter plane in the sky, he almost jumped with excitement.

Pulling Akira Sakamoto who was still angry, he pointed to the sky in the southeast direction excitedly and said: "General, general, look, our aviation unit has arrived."

Akira Sakamoto turned his head to follow the sound, and sure enough, he saw about seven or eight Imperial Army fighter planes flying towards them quickly.

"Yoxi, guide the fighter plane immediately and destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese Army! The others continue to rush to repair the fortifications, hurry up!"

Sakamoto ordered sharply.

"Hai!" The two adjutants present responded in unison and immediately split up to pass on the order.

On the Huben Regiment's side, Xu Qingfeng had just asked Wang Changgui to lead some scouts to go out for reconnaissance and warning, when he also heard the roar of the Japanese aircraft engine.

Lin Baoguo, Liang Shan and others standing beside him couldn't help but change their expressions.

Lin Baoguo even said to Xu Qingfeng: "Old Xu, it's too dangerous here. We have to move quickly."

Xu Qingfeng didn't panic, but first ordered Chen Qifeng: "Give me an order, all battalions stop digging fortifications, take cover on the spot, and don't run around.

The same goes for the artillery battalion, which immediately stopped shelling and turned to the nearby woods to hide. "

"Yes." Chen Qifeng took the order and left again.

Xu Qingfeng then led Lin Baoguo, Liang Shan and others towards a forest not far behind.

Because at that time the devils were surrounded, besides the Huben regiment, there were eight or nine thousand National Army Hefei city guards.

Looking down from the perspective of the ghost pilot, the entire battlefield is actually very messy and huge.

In this case, unless there is particularly accurate radio ground guidance, it is actually difficult for seven or eight aircraft to target any important target of any ground force.

The command hubs of some troops, such as the Huben Regiment, conduct direct air strikes.

As we all know, the radio communication technology on the Devil's plane has not been very good.

In particular, the Type [-] fighter jets equipped by its Army Aviation Corps have much worse communication capabilities than the later Japanese-style God Machine Zero.

In fact, even the Zero fighter that once dominated the Pacific Ocean, the airborne radio communication is also scum.

Affected by environmental interference such as engine spark plugs, the noise is very loud.

As a result, many Japanese pilots, in order to reduce the weight of their own planes and obtain better maneuverability and speed, saw off the radio antennas during some battles.

Closer to home, the eight Japanese fighter planes that came to support Akira Sakamoto's command were the Army Aviation Forces affiliated with the Japanese Army in Central China.

It consists of four Type [-] fighters and four Type [-] heavy bombers.

After the communication troops under Akira Sakamoto's department used the radio station to get in touch with the eight Japanese fighter planes.

Nearly 10 minutes have passed since the various ministries of the National Army discovered the arrival of the Japanese aircraft. ,

There was no way, mainly because the Japanese army's ground radio and aircraft radio communications were severely interfered with.

Many times, neither side can hear what the other is saying at all.

Forced into desperation, the Japanese pilots on the four Japanese Type [-] fighter jets directly drove the fighter planes and launched dive and strafing attacks on the national army ground troops they discovered.

The communication personnel on Akira Sakamoto's side also used command flags and signal flares to guide the air strikes on the remaining four bombers.

But at this time, the various units of the Huben Regiment had already completed their concealment.

Even the artillery battalion hid in the woods with men and cannons.

Although the four Type [-] heavy bombers came fiercely and had full firepower, they failed to accurately bomb the artillery battalion.

However, under the wild bombing and back and forth swooping and shooting of the devils.

Whether it was the battalions of the Huben Regiment or the various ministries of the national army in other directions, they still suffered a lot of casualties.

Especially on the side of the Hefei garrison, many of the garrison troops composed of militias had never experienced Japanese air raids and bombings. ,

When the Devil's plane arrived, they completely forgot the order to lurk on the spot and not to run around, and one by one got up and fled in a hurry.

After being discovered by the Devil fighter jets, they swooped down and shot down, and were immediately beaten to pieces of blood, causing heavy casualties.

However, this situation did not last long.

Due to the limitation of ammunition and range, the devil's air raid lasted less than 10 minutes before it was over.

Four Type [-] bombers climbed first, and four Type [-] fighter jets circled at low altitude. After confirming their safety, they went up to the sky one after another, caught up with their own bombers, protected them and started their return flight.

Although the Japanese air strike lasted less than 10 minutes, it also won precious and precious time for Akira Sakamoto's troops.

The little two thousand Japanese took advantage of this opportunity and quickly built several ring-shaped defenses around the mound.

After our own fighters returned and flew away, we were still seizing the time to reinforce the construction.

After confirming that the Japanese plane had left, Xu Qingfeng, Lin Baoguo, Liang Shan and others walked out of the woods surrounded by some officers and soldiers of the security company.

Xu Qingfeng climbed onto the wreckage of a Japanese truck and looked toward the mound with his binoculars.

Seeing that the devil's circular fortifications had been basically repaired, he put down his binoculars and turned to Chen Qifeng who was following up, "Notify all battalions to quickly speed up the excavation of the fortifications."

"Yes!" As soon as Chen Qifeng left, Zhou Weiguo led Xu Hu and others across the battlefield filled with gunpowder and came galloping on horseback.

"Wei Guo, how are you? Have you seen General Xu?" Xu Qingfeng immediately jumped off the wreckage of the military truck.

Zhou Weiguo also dismounted from his horse, stepped forward and said, "I see, General Xu has agreed to our battle plan for encircling the spot for reinforcements.

And ordered to become various troops, follow the example of our Huben regiment, dig trenches around the mounds and highlands where the Japanese army retreated, and build a blockade line of defense. "

"Great." Xu Qingfeng was completely relieved, although he had contacted Xu Yuanquan through the radio station before.

And told him his battle plan.

However, as the battlefield situation outside Hefei changed again and again, it was no longer possible to ensure that Xu Yuanquan was still willing to cooperate with the Huben Regiment to implement this combat plan for encirclement and reinforcement.

Not long ago, various units of the Hefei garrison took advantage of the situation to attack, which is an example.

Not to mention whether Xu Yuanquan was willing or not, after the Huben regiment joined forces with them to eat up the two devils' rear troops.

It was difficult for the commanders of the front-line troops with high morale to keep calm and not take the opportunity to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Japanese army retreating to the mound.

Therefore, it is necessary to let Zhou Weiguo go to Hefei City, have an interview with Xu Yuanquan to confirm the battle plan, and act in unison.

Zhou Weiguo glanced in the direction of the Japanese camp, frowned and said, "How is the situation now?"

Xu Qingfeng said: "With the help of the air force's cover, the Japanese have initially established a defensive position. It will be even more difficult to attack by force."

Liang Shan on the side stepped forward with lingering fears and said, "Speaking of which, it's better for us as a group to be calm and have the foresight.

If our Huben Regiment also invested in the siege of the devils just now, and if we happened to hit the muzzle of the devils' air strikes, it would be a disaster. "

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said to Xu Qingfeng: "In that case, can we start preparing for reinforcements?"

Xu Qingfeng said: "Don't worry, I have already sent out the reconnaissance company, and we will wait until there is any movement of the Japs.

Now, we will first coordinate with the various departments of the Hefei garrison to build a blockade defense line.

Then, choose an opportunity to fight for help! "

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said: "Well, this is best. After all, the Hefei garrison units were newly defeated and were attacked by Japanese air raids for a while. The casualties were considerable and morale was even lower.

If it weren't for our tiger group to hold the line, the devils would take the opportunity to counterattack, and they might capsize in the gutter. "

"I'm also worried about this, so I'll help them set up a blockade first, and then stabilize the ground." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

In addition to the Huben regiment, thousands of Hefei defenders were added, and the total strength was still nearly [-]. The speed and efficiency of repairing fortifications were naturally much faster than that of the Japanese.

Half an hour later, several ring-shaped fortifications surrounding the mound, 500 meters away from the Japanese position, began to take shape.

Suppressed by the firepower of the artillery battalion of the Huben Regiment, Akira Sakamoto led the remnants of his troops to retreat and did not dare to come out to attack at all.

More than an hour later, all the national army's fortifications on the periphery of the Japanese army were completed.

Thousands of national troops, with the help of the Huben Regiment, formed three full blockades, surrounding Akira Sakamoto and the Little Two Thousand Japanese Army.

After the encirclement here was completely formed, Xu Qingfeng ordered the battalions of the Huben Regiment to retreat quickly, completed their assembly in a forest to the southwest of the mound, and began to rest and recuperate.

At the same time, some officers and soldiers of the cavalry company were dispatched to cooperate with the reconnaissance company to increase reconnaissance in the south, southeast, and east directions.

Half an hour later, Xu Qingfeng, who had just eaten and was still resting, received the latest news from the reconnaissance company.

The main force of about 2000 Japanese infantry marched rapidly from Chuzhou towards Hefei.

Xu Qingfeng was overjoyed when he heard that, if only [-] Japanese troops came for reinforcements, as long as he deployed properly, he would be absolutely sure to eat them.

Just when Xu Qingfeng summoned Zhou Weiguo, Liang Shan, Sun Kui, Lin Baoguo and others to discuss the ambush location.

Another group of reconnaissance cavalry came rushing towards them on horseback.

"Tuan Zuo, Japanese reinforcements were found in the south. The strength of the troops is about 3000. They are all infantry, but they are carrying heavy weapons!"
