I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 203 False Eyes Airdrop [-] Thompsons!
Boom, boom, boom... the shells exploded violently, causing severe damage to hundreds of Japanese troops who took the initiative to attack.

Many devil soldiers, who were blown up on the spot, flew upside down with their guns, and died before they landed.

Most of the surviving devils were so frightened that they no longer dared to continue to charge forward, but turned around and ran away one after another, scrambling to retreat to their own trenches.

Seeing this scene, Sakamoto Akira became furious and yelled: "Bagaya Road, Bagaya Road!"

But it didn't help, the air support had returned, and his own artillery unit had long been killed by a surprise attack by the Huben regiment's cavalry company.

Therefore, he now has no means of countering the artillery of the Huben regiment.

In this way, the Japanese army could only watch helplessly as the battalions of the Tiger Regiment advanced the trenches step by step to less than 120 meters from the front line of the Japanese army.

What made Sakamoto Akira and other Japanese soldiers relieved was that the Tiger and Ben regiment did not continue to advance, but stopped at this distance.

However, Sakamoto Akira still did not dare to take it lightly and ordered his defensive troops to be on full alert to prevent a surprise attack by the national army.

Lin Baoguo, who was standing next to Xu Qingfeng at the rear of the Huben regiment's position opposite, saw this scene and couldn't help but put down his telescope and asked Xu Qingfeng: "Regiment leader, why don't you let the troops continue to move forward?"

"Now is not the time." Xu Qingfeng said with deep meaning: "We are going to train for actual combat, not to launch a general offensive. It is not good to get too close."

"But, if we go some distance further, wouldn't the recruits be able to shoot more accurately?" Lin Baoguo said.

"That's right." Xu Qingfeng said bluntly: "The closer you are, the recruits can shoot more accurately, but the devils can shoot more accurately.

As we all know, the Japanese army has always been good at shooting, and the hit rate within [-] meters is extremely high.

Therefore, the current distance is already the limit of what we can push forward.

Going forward, it will not be actual combat training, but letting the recruits give their heads to the Japanese as targets. "

In addition, the devil's position is located on a high ground, which has the advantage of being condescending.

Get too close, and their grenades are likely to be thrown into our trenches.

That would be even worse! "

Lin Baoguo was deeply impressed when he heard this, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Old Xu, you are so thoughtful and considerate now, I have to accept it!"

Xu Qingfeng smiled, but did not answer.

At this time, Chief of Staff Liang Shan rushed from the front and saluted Xu Qingfeng: "Regiment seats, all battalions are ready, can we start?"

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded and ordered: "Tell Sun Kui, Fang Shengli, Zhang Zhijian and the others, the recruits from each battalion, to take turns to design the Japanese positions, and the veterans to cover them.

The artillery battalion must also provide artillery support at all times to prevent Japanese raids! "

In fact, Xu Qingfeng's actual combat training close to the trenches imitated the cold-blooded tactics used by the volunteers in the later stages of the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Sakamoto detachment was crippled, it had no artillery advantage and was in the unfavorable position of being surrounded.

Let the recruits of each battalion under him, relying on the trenches, under the leadership of the veterans, shoot through the trenches to hunt and kill the devils on the opposite side.

In order to improve their actual combat experience and shooting level as soon as possible, although this will take great risks.

The new soldiers will inevitably pay a certain price in casualties, which was also a helpless move under the circumstances.

"Yes!" Liang Shan happily took the order and left, and quickly conveyed the order to the main camps.

After receiving the order, Sun Kui's [-]st Infantry Battalion took the lead in launching operations.

At least 200 new recruits, led by nearly a hundred veterans, quickly spread out along the front line of trenches.

Then, taking advantage of our own artillery fire, we were still bombarding the Japanese position on the opposite side, while the smoke and flames of the explosion had not yet dissipated.

They all stood up and raised their guns, and began to quietly aim and search for the Japanese on the opposite position.

After the Tiger Regiment's artillery fire began to extend to the rear of the Japanese defense line, Japanese soldiers began to appear on the frontline to check the situation.

Hundreds of recruits from the first battalion of the Huben Regiment, who had been preparing for a long time, pulled the trigger one after another under the leadership and command of the veterans!

Bang bang bang... gunshots resounded throughout the film.

A row of hot bullets roared towards the Japanese army's position. At least a dozen unlucky Japanese were shot and fell in the trenches one after another.

This sudden shooting shocked all the Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position. They thought that the Tiger Regiment was about to attack, so they all stood up and fired back as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Some hidden machine gun fire points were also exposed, and they fired fiercely at the trenches of the Tiger Regiment.

Several veteran sharpshooters from the first battalion quickly found the opportunity to shoot and kill the opponent, suppressing the Japanese machine gun fire.

But more Japanese soldiers opened fire and joined the blocking battle.

There were even some Japanese soldiers who couldn't see clearly the situation on the battlefield because of the smoke. In their nervousness, they fired grenades and threw them outside with all their strength.

However, even if they had the advantage of being in a commanding position, they would not be able to throw grenades onto the national army position 120 meters away.

Therefore, all the grenades that were thrown out with all their strength fell on the open space and exploded out of thin air. Although the momentum was not small, it failed to cause any damage to the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment on the opposite side.

As a result, the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire.

Although people from the Huben Regiment kept getting shot and fell down, the recruits, under the encouragement and leadership of the veterans, continued to fight back and killed one devil soldier after another.

In the temporary command post behind the Japanese army, Akira Sakamoto couldn't help feeling distraught when he heard the dense gunfire in front of him. He walked back and forth in the bunker like ants on a hot pot in a hurry.

"When will the air support arrive?" Impatiently, Akira Sakamoto turned his head and asked his adjutant and communications lieutenant from time to time.

"General, the air support is still being prepared. The headquarters called back and said that the fastest batch will not arrive until two hours later!" an adjutant replied hurriedly.

"Are the first batch of supplies or soldiers?" Akira Sakamoto asked again.

"It's supplies. It's weapons, ammunition, water, and medicine that we are in urgent need of." The adjutant said: "For soldiers, we need to mobilize soldiers who can parachute, and tomorrow will be the soonest!"

"Baga!" Hearing this, Sakamoto Akira became even more agitated. He began to worry about whether his troops could hold on until tomorrow when air reinforcements arrived.

However, the upset Sakamoto Akira and others did not realize a very serious problem.

That is, they have been compressed by various departments of the national army to an unknown mound less than two or three kilometers in radius.

With such a large range, unless all the aircraft of the Japanese army can accurately drop air at fixed points.

Otherwise, it would be easy to put the supplies on the opposite Chinese army position.

In particular, the Huben regiment had just advanced their forward position to a place less than 200 meters away from them.

And all of this was within Xu Qingfeng's control and expectation.

The reason why he chose to encircle rather than fight was partly due to actual combat training.

The most important thing is to force the Japanese army to airdrop reinforcements to the besieged Sakamoto detachment.

In this way, he can take the opportunity to airdrop the weapons and equipment he wants.

For example, the batch of American Sherman tanks in the warehouse, and the [-] Thompson submachine guns that just exploded not long ago.

These are advanced equipment that the Huben Regiment urgently needs. With the blessing of this batch of weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Huben Regiment will soar to a new level.

However, what made Sakamoto Akira and others feel a little relieved was that although there was a lot of movement on the Tiger and Ben regiment's side, they never really launched an attack.

In this way, two hours passed quickly.

On the Huben regiment's side, Zhang Zhijian's [-]nd Infantry Battalion has been replaced and continues to launch harassment-style shooting at the Japanese army.

In desperation, the Japanese army had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to fight.

It's just that the consumption of ammunition and physical strength plummeted.

At this moment, a communications lieutenant of Akira Sakamoto suddenly stood up with a telegram and reported to him excitedly: "General, the latest news from the Front Army Command.

The first batch of aviation troops coming for reinforcements have already taken off and are expected to arrive over our headquarters in half an hour to provide airdrop and air raid fire support! "

"Yo Xi!" Akira Sakamoto's frown suddenly relaxed, and he immediately ordered to the main adjutants around him: "Instruct all troops to brace themselves and prepare to receive airdrop supplies."

……

On the Huben regiment's side, due to the previous actual combat shooting training, they have already started taking turns.

He called Zhou Weiguo, deputy head of the regiment, Liang Shan, chief of staff, and Lin Baoguo, commander of the reinforced battalion, to the supply battalion and communications office, the temporary headquarters that had just been set up, to discuss the next combat operations.

Chief of Staff Liang Shan was the first to raise a question: "Tuan Zuo, how long will we continue this kind of actual combat training? When can we launch a general offensive to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the enemy?"

Xu Qingfeng murmured: "Don't worry, we can continue to carry out actual combat shooting training until the devil's new ground reinforcements arrive.

According to my estimation, even if the Japanese side mobilizes all their troops and supplies, it will be difficult for their ground troops to arrive in less than two or three days.

So, we still have at least two more days! "

"Two days later, the devils will die of thirst just by cutting off the water! At that time, if we launch a general attack, we will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded approvingly and said in agreement: "Yes, I have observed that there is no water source on the nameless mound where the devils occupy, and the nearest water source is two kilometers away, and there is a national army guarding it.

Therefore, if the siege continues for a few more days, the Japanese will probably collapse without a fight! "

Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Weiguo, don't worry, with the little devil's urine, he will never sit still and wait for death.

If they find that they cannot obtain water, they will definitely take the initiative to launch a desperate charge against us before their morale collapses! "

"That's true." Zhou Weiguo agreed deeply.

Lin Baoguo said, "If the devils really dare to take the initiative to attack, wouldn't it be better for us to eliminate them?"

"So, don't worry about this siege, time is in our favor, not in the enemy's favor!"

As soon as Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, there was a rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves outside.

Before a few people could go out to check, a muscular figure ran in from outside.

After seeing Xu Qingfeng's position, he stood at attention and saluted him: "Team leader, there's something going on!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was no one else.

It was Wang Changgui who was sent out not long ago by Xu Qingfeng to lead the cavalry and scouts to patrol along the encirclement circle, serving as a reserve force and taking charge of security.

"What's going on?" Xu Qingfeng asked immediately.

"Air strike!" Before Wang Changgui could finish his sentence, another sentry came running outside, and said to Xu Qingfeng, Zhou Weiguo and others with a shocked expression: "Team seats, participants, planes, a lot of ghost planes!"

The faces of Zhou Weiguo, Lin Baoguo and others changed drastically, and they all looked at the calmer Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng made a decision immediately: "Let's go out and take a look!"

It is worth mentioning that the temporary headquarters of the Huben Regiment is located in a dense forest about two kilometers away from the front line, and is very well hidden.

Unless the devil had accurate coordinates, he wouldn't worry about being discovered and bombed.

Several people immediately walked out of the headquarters bunker, and they heard the deafening roar of aircraft engines coming from the southeast sky. ,

Unanimously, they took out the binoculars and followed the sound.

I saw many Japanese aircraft with plaster flags printed densely in the sky.

Xu Qingfeng observed for a while, secretly happy in his heart, but pretending to be surprised on the surface: "There are many planes coming from the Japs, including bombers, fighter planes, and even transport planes!"

Zhou Weiguo's expression changed after hearing this, and he said solemnly: "Transport plane? Do the Japanese want to airdrop supplies to the besieged Sakamoto detachment?"

"It should be like this!" Xu Qingfeng said: "Otherwise, the Sakamoto detachment would not be able to hold on to the arrival of their ground reinforcements!"

Liang Shan became a little anxious when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do? Do we have to find a way to prevent the Japanese airdrop?"

Everyone looked at Xu Qingfeng in unison.

They are all still new to this kind of anti-airdrop combat.

In particular, today's Huben regiment does not yet have specialized air defense troops and air defense weapons.

How to stop it is the question.

Xu Qingfeng carefully observed the number and size of the Japanese transport fleet in the air.

He made a decision immediately: "The range of the Japanese position within the encirclement is only that large, and the enemy's airdrops may not be able to be delivered accurately.

Pass the order, all battalions and companies should pay attention to concealed air defense, and wait for the devils to start airdrops, and then snatch the airdrops!
Even if you can't grab it, you have to find a way to prevent the devil from getting supplies! "

"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order in unison, and Wang Changgui, Xu Hu and others went to convey the order separately.

Xu Qingfeng took the lead back to the headquarters bunker and quietly gave instructions to the system: "System, start giving me airdrop explosive rewards immediately!"

"Please specify the specific reward items that the host wants to airdrop!" The system responded immediately.

"First put the [-] Thomson submachine guns and supporting weapons and equipment into the air above our position while the Japanese army is airdropping!" Xu Qingfeng immediately instructed.
