I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 205 Airdrop of Sherman
In response to the urgent request of the Sakamoto detachment, at around [-]:[-] pm, the Central China Japanese army organized a transport fleet again.

An airdrop was carried out to the remnants of the Sakamoto detachment again.

At this time, the Huben regiment had absorbed all kinds of weapons and equipment that Xu Qingfeng had just taken the opportunity to airdrop.

All the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, from the commander to the cook, were all issued gas masks, just in case.

Moreover, the [-] American Thompson submachine guns were directly strengthened and equipped by Xu Qingfeng to the guard company, reconnaissance company and cavalry company.

At this time, the strength of the three directly subordinate companies has been supplemented.

Xu Qingfeng recruited some veterans from Lin Baoguo's independent battalion to replenish their strength, so that the total strength of these three companies returned to the number of troops that left Lujiang to go north.

That is, the guard company and the reconnaissance company each have 150 people, and the cavalry company has 200 people, which is exactly 500 people.

Five hundred Thompson submachine guns are just enough for one of the three companies.

The MP18 submachine guns and other weapons they eliminated were given priority by Xu Qingfeng to Sun Kui's first battalion and Lin Baoguo's independent battalion.

The reason why Xu Qingfeng is so equipped is not because he favors the three companies directly under the guard, reconnaissance, and cavalry.

Rather, these three directly subordinate companies need these Thompson submachine guns more than the other battalions.

And this batch of Thomson charges can also work better in the hands of these three companies.

Needless to say, the guard and reconnaissance companies, just the cavalry company, in fact, the cavalry can rarely use lances to shoot during the running charge, because the accuracy is really poor.

But with all the Thompson submachine guns, it's different. With an effective range of 200 meters, in actual combat, the actual use effect is no worse than the Type [-] riding rifle seized from the devils.

However, the intensity and persistence of firepower will be greatly enhanced.

Because the cavalry will also undertake unsuitable battles such as assault battles, and is generally used for the final assault and pursuit, roundabout outflanking raids, and reconnaissance.

Just imagine, more than 200 cavalry roared in, and [-] Thomsons fired in unison. How fierce was the assault firepower?
No matter how tough Ren Guizi is, he will only be beaten into a sieve.

He carried a submachine gun and fired at him from a distance of 200 meters. When he rushed in front, he let go and drew his sword, and then slashed with his saber without any shortcomings.

Just when Xu Qingfeng had just finished a dress-up speech to the guards, reconnaissance and cavalry companies.

Chief of Staff Liang Shan hurried over from the temporary regiment headquarters and reported to Xu Qingfeng urgently: "Regiment seat, report from the front, another Japanese plane has started airdropping."

"Really?" Xu Qingfeng was startled when he heard the words, and immediately ordered Chen Qifeng, Xu Hu, Wang Changgui and others: "All companies are disbanded, and the guard company is responsible for guarding the regiment headquarters.

The reconnaissance company and the cavalry company are responsible for the alert reconnaissance on the periphery of the battlefield, especially the direction where enemy reinforcements may appear. They must conduct close reconnaissance. "

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng, Xu Hu and the others responded in unison, and immediately took orders to leave.

Xu Qingfeng and Liang Shan quickly arrived in front of the headquarters.

When the two arrived, Zhou Weiguo and Lin Baoguo were already secretly observing the movement of the Japanese airdrop.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng coming, Zhou Weiguo put down his binoculars, pointed to the airspace in the southeast direction and said, "Qingfeng, come and take a look, the devils really spent their money this time, and dispatched a large number of planes."

With that said, he handed his telescope directly to Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng took the binoculars, looked at them and found that some Japanese military transport planes had already started airdropping.

Around them, there were a large number of Japanese planes circling in the sky.

In the outer airspace, there are Japanese fighter jets that dive back and forth, and from time to time carry out strafing air strikes to suppress the Chinese army positions on the ground.

It seems that the Devils transport fleet has learned the previous lesson and instead dropped supplies one by one to avoid as much as possible the supplies from falling on the Huben Regiment and other national army positions.

The Devil fighters even tried to use air strike firepower to suppress the national army troops around the encirclement and prevent them from competing with the Sakamoto detachment for airdropped supplies.

Lin Baoguo looked at the Devil fighters, unscrupulously swooping back and forth over the various positions of his side, flying and strafing.

He was furious and said: "Damn it, this little devil's plane is too rampant and arrogant. Are we just going to passively let him bully us through air strikes?"

Liang Shan also asked Xu Qingfeng out of righteous indignation: "Tuan Zuo, do you want to organize machine gun fire and shoot down a dozen devils' planes? Frustrate their arrogance!"

Zhou Weiguo did not object and was obviously unhappy with the arrogance of the Japanese aircraft.

Thoughtful Xu Qingfeng handed the binoculars to Zhou Weiguo, and immediately said in a stern voice: "You are right, so order the battalions to organize light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns.

When the devil plane is flying at ultra-low altitude and strafing again, suddenly fire at me and beat him up, the son of a bitch!
Special instructions should be given to the soldiers below to focus their fire and not to spread their firepower.

Also, be sure to leave a certain amount of advance when shooting in the air! "

"Yes..." Liang Shan and Lin Baoguo were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately took orders to leave.

Xu Qingfeng said to Zhou Weiguo again: "Weiguo, you should also go to the frontier and guide the frontline troops on how to conduct anti-aircraft shooting."

"Okay!" Zhou Weiguo nodded happily, took Xu Hu and a few guards, left the dense forest where the regiment headquarters was located, and rushed to the front along the communication trench.

After sending everyone away, Xu Qingfeng ordered Chen Qifeng to lead people to guard the entrance to the regiment bunker, and returned to the regiment headquarters alone.

Pretending to be sitting and smoking, Xu Qingfeng immediately ordered the system: "System, immediately airdrop those ten Sherman tanks around our position."

"Please give a specific range." The system responded immediately.

Xu Qingfeng looked at the map in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "To the south of our forward position, here is an open space, which is conducive to the airdrop of tanks."

"Received, the airdrop is starting now, please check the host carefully." After the system sound fell.

Xu Qingfeng quickly spit out the mouth, got up and ran out.

Seeing this, Chen Qifeng, who was leading people to guard outside, hurried forward and asked: "Tuan Zuo, what's wrong?
The Japanese planes didn't notice our side, they were all on the frontier. "

Obviously, Chen Qifeng thought that Xu Qingfeng was worried that the devils would attack his command post.

Xu Qingfeng ignored him, but took out his telescope and looked directly south of the forward position.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to find Sherman tanks, hung by multiple parachutes, slowly descending from a high altitude.

At this time, Zhou Weiguo, who had already led Xu Hu and others to the forefront of the Huben regiment, had just instructed Fang Shengli, the commander of the third battalion, to organize the machine gun firepower of the third battalion, just in time to ambush the fighters of the devils.

Xu Hu, who was holding a telescope and paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese planes, suddenly discovered the tanks dropped by Xu Qingfeng.

He couldn't help being taken aback, quickly adjusted the magnification of the binoculars, looked carefully, and couldn't help shouting to Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli who were next to him: "Deputy regiment commander, third battalion commander, look quickly, what the devil dropped .”

When Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli heard the words, they both raised their binoculars and turned to the direction he was pointing at.

Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw tanks descending slowly one after another.

"Is this a tank? The little devil dropped all the tanks?" Fang Shengli said in surprise.

Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice: "That's right, it's a tank, but it's not so easy to accurately deploy such large equipment.

Let's take a look at the position. It seems that these tanks are about to be dropped on the right side of our position. "

Xu Hu and Fang Shengli looked at it carefully again and couldn't help but said with great joy: "It's true. Then won't these tanks become our trophies?"

"Get rich, get rich!"

Zhou Weiguo said solemnly: "These tanks should be reinforced by the Japanese for their besieged troops. The Japanese will never give them up easily."

"Pass my order. In a moment, machine gun fire will ambush the Japanese plane with full force. The others will nail the Japanese troops on the opposite side to me. If they dare to come out to snatch the tank, I will beat these sons of bitches!"

"Yes!" Fang Shengli promised loudly, turned around immediately, and passed the order with his waist bent.

Zhou Weiguo patted Xu Hu on the shoulder again and said: "Huzi, the matter is very important, you go back and report to the head of the regiment immediately, and ask him to send troops to reinforce and prepare to snatch the tank!"

"Yes!" Xu Hu also responded, and hurriedly turned around and ran in the same direction.

At this time, two Japanese Type [-] fighter jets roared up, about to conduct a new round of dive and strafing on the forward position of the third battalion.

The officers and soldiers of the Huben Third Battalion, who had already received the order to lie in wait for a long time in advance, immediately opened fire.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns roared at the same time, pouring a large number of bullets at the two Japanese planes in an instant.

However, after all, it is not a dedicated anti-aircraft weapon and air defense force.

Lacking experience in anti-aircraft shooting, more than half of the machine gun fire fell in the air.

However, a small number of machine gun bullets still hit the fuel tank of one of the Japanese aircraft.

The fuel tank of the hit Japanese machine quickly burst into flames and smoke, which soon turned into raging fire and billowing black smoke.

The fire gradually engulfed half the fuselage and one wing, causing the plane to begin to lose control.

Because the flying was too low at that time, the Devil pilot wanted to pull up but found that his plane had lost the power to climb.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his plane plunged into a forest in the distance, caught fire and exploded into ashes.

Because the flying altitude was too low, the Devil pilot had no chance to parachute at all, and was blown to pieces together with the plane.

The devil pilot on another fighter jet that escaped by chance was horrified when he saw this, he hurriedly drove the fighter plane up, and fled quickly.

At the same time, the besieged Japanese army position on the opposite side.

Some devils also discovered the tank group that was slowly descending to the south, and quickly ran to Akira Sakamoto to report to him.

Sakamoto Akira was shocked when he heard this. He quickly picked up the telescope and looked south.

When he saw the tanks and chariots being dragged down slowly by countless umbrella flowers, the old devil was completely excited.

"Is it really a tank? The front army command airlifted the tank to us this time?"

The adjutant next to him shook his head and said, "Didn't the call back from the headquarters say that there were tanks?"

At this time, another Japanese adjutant who was also observing the situation exclaimed: "No, these tanks and chariots seem to be falling to the Chinese army's position."

"Nani?" Akira Sakamoto and the other officers present were all taken aback, and they raised their binoculars to continue observing.

By careful observation, coupled with the height that the tank keeps dropping.

Akira Sakamoto couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Baga, what are you bastards in the air force doing?

They actually dropped tanks and chariots to the position of the Chinese Army! "

(Note: The Japanese army did not have a dedicated air force at that time. Instead, it established a land-based aviation force affiliated with the army and a sea-based aviation force affiliated with the navy.

Therefore, the name of the air force within the Japanese army is mostly aviation. )
The devil's adjutant who first noticed the anomaly asked hurriedly: "General, if these tanks fall into the hands of the Chinese army, even if they are used as mobile forts, it will be a disaster for us.

Therefore, these tanks must not be allowed to be snatched by the Chinese army! "

"Is there anyone in the Chinese army who can drive tanks?" Sakamoto clearly understood what the adjutant meant, but he had limited troops, so he really didn't want to take the risk of attacking unless necessary.

Because if it is not done well, the tanks will not be able to grab it, and it may cause the defense line to fall and the entire army to be wiped out.

The devil's adjutant said eagerly: "General, have you forgotten that Xu Yuanquan, the defender of Hefei, was originally from the Central Army of China.

In addition, there are many remnants of the Central China Ace Army who escaped from Songhu and Nanjing, so it is not impossible to find a few who can drive tanks. "

Hearing this, Akira Sakamoto panicked.

Although he is not a professional tank and armor soldier, he understands the importance of tanks and combat vehicles to the army.

If one's own troops now have ten tanks and chariots, they can rely on their super assault capabilities to break out in one go.

Even defense can greatly enhance their firepower.

However, if these tanks fall into the hands of the national army on the opposite side, it will be a real disaster for their remnant army, which has been besieged for a long time and lacks anti-tank firepower.

So, in desperation, Sakamoto couldn't care less about scolding those bastards in the Air Force.

Immediately ordered to several of his adjutants: "Order the 3rd Battalion to immediately prepare to snatch the tanks.

In addition, contact the aviation unit above and ask them to provide fire support and cooperate with us to snatch the tank.

If the tanks won't come back, destroy them! "

"Hay!" All the devil's adjutants present hurriedly split up and took orders.

In fact, the most depressing thing at this time was the Japanese pilots. They complained to each other on the radio, why did they airdrop the tanks to the Chinese army positions?

However, after a very unfriendly communication, they discovered a very frightening thing.

That is, they did not bring tanks on board this time, nor did they have the task of airdropping tanks.
