Age of Rebirth

Chapter 270 Four

Throughout the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, China's air power was almost at an absolute disadvantage. The heroic fighters had to brave the violent bombing of Japanese planes, fight bloody battles, and paid a heavy sacrifice. Although in the later stages of the war, The Flying Tigers with General Chennault can't change this reality.

Tang Qiuli didn't have a plane, so he could only combine strengthening ground air defense firepower with the troops' active air defense awareness to create a set of effective methods to reduce threats from the air and protect the precious lives of soldiers.

The strike force from the air is very critical in the battle of large corps. Since the Chinese army fought against the Japanese invaders, the blue sky has become their nightmare. From time to time, demonic Japanese planes drilled out of their heads and poured on them With evil sub and fried.

How many comrades-in-arms did not fall under the guns of the enemy face to face, but were killed by the demons in the air. Probably only the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the CCP really gave these Japanese air demons a headache. The guerrilla warfare that bloomed everywhere, Japanese aircraft, They will never throw bombs for a dozen people and seven or eight guns, and the Japanese can't afford it either. In that bear area, everything is lacking, except for animals. [

With the current scale and equipment level of the Independent Division, the future battle against Japan is destined to be a large-scale combat model. The air defense problem has always been the weak link that Tang Qiuli is most worried about, and it is also a problem that the Independent Division urgently needs to solve.

Su Jingfeng didn't realize how important the army's air defense capability would be in the upcoming war. Because of his thinking, in the future war against Japan, Su Jingfeng's brigade suffered a big loss from Japanese aircraft. Good friend, best partner, deputy brigade commander, was strafed by Japanese planes in that blocking battle, hit the head and died on the spot.

This is also the sacrifice of the highest-ranking officer in the Independent Division since its establishment. For this reason, Su Jingfeng was dismissed from the position of brigade commander and demoted to deputy brigade commander. Acting as brigade commander, he publicly reviewed it at the general meeting of the division. He has experienced this bloody experience. After learning the lesson, the Independent Second Brigade shot down the most Japanese aircraft in subsequent battles and became one of the troops with the most outstanding performance in air combat.

After following Tang Qiuli for a long time, Liu Tiehan has also learned many of Tang Qiuli's methods. The battle summary is divided into two parts for analysis. Casualties, very annoyed.

The independent division is fine here, and it also caused the Japanese aircraft to suffer a lot. It fired nine cannon battles and almost wiped out the entire army, but that doesn't mean that other places are fine.

The scene of the battle in the open space just now also fell into the eyes of the soldiers of the Jin Army Zhao Chengshou's division, who were dozens of kilometers away from the independent division's position. They didn't know that soldier's eyes were sharp. After seeing such a wonderful scene, they all flocked to the hillside, and seven to eight thousand people crowded into a big pile.

The three Japanese bombers fleeing to the airport happened to pass by here. In their eyes, all the troops in this area were from the Independent Division, and this place was not like Xiaowutai Mountain, where there were deadly anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ground.

Such a large group of people gathered together, and the goal was obvious. The Japanese pilot, who was in a state of shock and was lucky to have escaped, was looking for a place to throw away the bomb. The flight code stipulates that bombers must not be taken to land. Did you throw away the bomb? On the enemy's head, also find a way to throw it elsewhere.

Now that they have a goal, the three rookie Japanese pilots are thinking about throwing the bomb there so that they can go back to work. If they have this opportunity, they can discuss it on the line and throw the bomb here.

It must be the anti-aircraft firepower of the Xiaowutai Mountain Independent Division, which left a serious shadow on the psychology of the three pilots. Throw it all down, and then fly away in the plane, even skipping the procedure of checking the bombing effect.

Twelve heavy bombs fell from the sky with a scream. Before the Sino-Japanese War, the soldiers of the Jin army had never seen such a scene. thing.

The officer with a head full of melon seeds instinctively felt that it was not a fun thing, and desperately shouted for everyone to disperse. Finally, most of the soldiers listened to the officer and escaped the disaster that fell from the sky. There is always bad luck. A loud noise shakes the earth , Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the soldiers of the Jin army were shrouded in blood and rain.

The explosion stopped, and the soldiers of the Jin Army who were still in shock shook off the mud all over their heads and faces. They looked at a dozen large pits with a diameter of eight or nine meters, and they were in a daze. , The bright red blood stained the land of Taihang Mountain red.

Zhao Chengshou, who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and wanted to cry. In the blink of an eye, more than 400 soldiers from a reinforced battalion disappeared. That old man, my Chief Yan, this business will pay for it. It's so big, I haven't seen a single hair, and more than 400 lives have been taken first. You say, it's a thousand miles away, what are you doing to catch up with this excitement!

As the Japanese bombers returned home, the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield regained its calm. The bandits who were surrounded didn't feel much, but the Japanese soldiers became very sad. In just a short while, more than 30 people committed suicide.

The head of the Yamaguchi brigade, with more than 6000 soldiers from two regiments, was rushing to the Xiaowutai Mountain area. He seemed to hear the explosion, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly. The aviation guys never knew how to coordinate between air and foot, and we didn't Come on, relying on your legs, you will blow up first.

There are still more than 100 miles away from the pick-up point. When we arrived, the independent division sealed the opening again and picked up that one. Picking up the corpse was almost the same. What if our infantry are all birdmen with wings?

At the moment when Yamaguchi was anxious and troubled, the leader of the vanguard squadron in charge of the march came to report that the Chinese army in front was conducting exercises, and it was designated as a military restricted area, and no one was allowed to pass through. There was also a big sign that read, "This road is blocked, especially It's Japanese." Ask for instructions on how to deal with it, whether to take a detour?

Yamaguchi was too lazy to talk nonsense with these low-level officers who were full of dung, and without raising his eyelids, he waved his hand: "Baga, open the way with Emas!" Exercise?Just kidding, the Chinese army came here for exercises, obviously trying to find an excuse to prevent us from going to meet Badalhu and more than 2000 imperial soldiers. [

As a senior commander of the Japanese army, Yamaguchi was indeed competent, and he immediately judged Tang Qiuli's intentions, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all. The shortest road to Xiaowutai Mountain will take more than 200 kilometers if you don’t go here.

Not to mention this small place, how about Manchuria?How is Tianjin?The army of the Great Japanese Empire entered as soon as it was said. This is a manifestation of the strength of the empire. The Chinese government and army are not helpless. The words on the sign are clearly an insult to the empire. These hateful Chinese people will Do something sneaky.

Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce gunfire in front of him. As expected of an excellent officer of the Empire of Japan, Yamaguchi was very skillful in tactical actions. He immediately rolled off his horse and looked for a hidden place. He settled himself down first, and then spared no time to observe the front movement.

This time it was the captain of the regiment, who ran over out of breath to report that when the vanguard squadron wanted to forcibly pass through the exercise area of ​​the Chinese army, it was blocked by the opponent. Words, our soldiers can't bear it, and want to teach the Chinese soldiers a lesson, the other party fired warning shots, and now there are five casualties.

When Shankou heard this, he was furious. He hadn't heard of the Chinese army that dared to stop the soldiers of the imperial army of the two regiments, and even dared to shoot!If you don't know how to praise, if you don't teach you some lessons, you don't know what it means to be great.

If you don't let it go, then fight over. I am happy to take the massacre of Chinese soldiers as an episode of this mission. Under the order of Yamaguchi, the Japanese infantry began to move forward, and the two artillery brigades also began to build artillery positions and calculate the shooting Zhu Yuan.

Seeing that the Japanese army was busy starting to deploy, Tang Qiuli knew that the little devil was about to get serious. This battle could not be avoided. He ordered the two reinforcement regiments to each send a reinforced battalion, attached to the four cavalry brigades of the 29th Army. Battalion, quickly moving to the left and right wings of the Japanese army, once the front is fired, wait for the order to attack the two wings of the Japanese army.

The frontal troops quickly entered the position, and all the artillery formed an artillery temporary artillery regiment, which was directly assigned to their own command. After the artillery of the Japanese army fired, it was immediately suppressed and then destroyed.

Tang Qiuli had capital in his hands. Each regiment of the independent division had an artillery battalion equipped with 38 artillery pieces of various calibers. Portable Type 75 infantry artillery and a small number of mortars.

Moreover, they all use the high-explosive guns produced by the arsenal itself, and the explosive power far exceeds that of the Japanese artillery. This is exactly what Tang Qiuli has repeatedly insisted on. The mortars of each company hit an astonishing 200 or more.

Yamaguchi didn't know that he was facing the Independent Division, otherwise, he would think about it calmly. The record of the Independent Division in the Northeast, any Japanese general would be heartbroken, let alone the boss of the Independent Division, waiting for him in person , keeping him away from the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield was the main task, and Tang Qiuli never tired of beating up the eyeless Japanese army by the way.

No matter how you say it, the independent division has a reason. All military exercises will mark out restricted areas and force their way in. They deserve to be beaten to death. Even if the lawsuit goes to the chairman of the Nanjing General Committee, they will all say that the Japanese are wronged.

What's more, according to the character of the Japanese, if they are not prepared for a full-scale war, they will suffer from being dumb and desperate to save face. Take this opportunity to beat up the Japanese, what a pleasure!
