Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 449 Donkeys Are Poor? (Second update!)
The two bombings of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal by the Army Aviation Corps ended in failure. Whether it was the ordinary pilots participating in the bombing mission or the commander of the North China Front Army Aviation Corps, they were all full of anger.

Everyone wants to take revenge, destroy the Eighth Route Army arsenal, avenge their shame, and win back the honor that belongs to the aviation army.

Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the [-]th Mixed Brigade, it was originally a bombing operation that could no longer be normal. In the end, even the commander of the aviation unit was alarmed.

With the intervention of the commander, he forced six bombers into the bombing mission that could be accomplished by three bombers.

He wants to avenge his shame and do his part in the destruction of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.

"Buzz buzz..." Major General Yoshino waited for less than half an hour when the roar of the plane came faintly.

Then six silver-white bombers appeared in Major General Yoshino's field of vision.

"Aerial reinforcements are coming! The artillery is ready, and as soon as the bombing is over, the artillery fires. After 2 minutes of the artillery attack, the artillery fire will start to extend. The infantry will then attack and try to take the mountain pass in one go!"

"Also, deploy a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron to provide fire cover for the attacking troops!"

"Hi!"

"Boom..." It didn't take long for the six bombers to take action, and the earth-shaking explosion sounded like thunder at the mountain pass. The ground under their feet began to tremble slightly amidst the explosion, and the heavy weight could be seen. How powerful is the aerial bomb.

Major General Yoshino was so shaken that his ears rang, but he did not follow the advice of his subordinates to retreat.

He continued to stay where he was, holding up the binoculars and staring at the smoky mountain pass.

He hated the Eighth Route Army to the bone, and he wanted to see how the Eighth Route Army blocked the mountain pass was killed. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to avenge his shame.

After 10 minutes, the six bombers that completed the bombing flew away.However, the explosion at the pass did not stop.

After 24 mountain artillery fired more than 200 shells at the mountain pass, as the artillery fire began to extend, the thick gunpowder smoke covering the mountain pass began to slowly dissipate.

"Start the attack!" The forward captain ordered with a sullen face!

This time, he only sent one infantry squad plus one infantry company of the Royal Association Army.

More than 100 people lined up skirmishers, armed with rifles and machine guns, and rushed forward very cautiously.

The heavy machine guns and mortars behind them, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, fired bullets and shells into the smoky mountains like money.

"Da da da..." The anticipating attacking troops finally rushed to more than 100 meters in front of the formation, and the mountain pass that was still filled with gunpowder was moving again, and the machine gun fire points sprayed dense bullet nets on the attacking troops again.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army's firepower point in Shankou hasn't been destroyed yet! The attacking troops are finished!" the forward captain shouted with a look of despair, his face turned pale with a brush.

The four infantry squadrons under his command have already lost nearly [-]% of their combat strength. If this squad is lost again, the lost strength will be almost half.

What's more, I lost so many troops that even the commander of the Eighth Route Army in Shankou didn't see clearly what it was like, and the confusion disappeared.

"No!" The chief of staff was obviously much more rational.

He was also taken aback by the firepower coming out of Yamaguchi again, but he didn't lose his mind because of the shock.

After frowning for a few seconds, he analyzed with a serious face: "Your Excellency, the aviation bombing is effective. The current firepower of Yamaguchi has been reduced by a third compared to before. As long as we call the aviation to continue the bombing, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Shankou will definitely We will destroy them all!"

"It's just a pity that there are more than 100 offensive troops on the battlefield. The firepower of the Yamaguchi Eighth Route Army is still very strong, and they will definitely not be able to withdraw."

Major General Yoshino ordered with a sullen face: "If you can't retreat, don't retreat. Use the three wrecked tanks as a position to shoot at the Eighth Route Army in Yamaguchi!"

"Chief of Staff, continue to contact the air force to bomb the mountain pass. Aren't they looking for revenge from the garrison regiment of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal? Tell them that the Tuba Road guarding the mountain pass is the garrison regiment, and let them take out all the powerful bombs. Tubalu fried into minced meat!"

For the next two days, Major General Yoshino used Sunset's best three axes to attack the mountain pass.

Aviation bombardment, artillery cover extension, infantry attack...

However, the effect was minimal, not only wasting a lot of ammunition, but also losing two infantry squadrons.

The mountain pass, which has been lowered by nearly two meters on both sides, still blocks Major General Yoshino.

"General, there are four machine gun firepower points in the mountain pass, and there are heavy machine guns inside. No matter how the bombers bomb, they will never collapse! The engineer deduced that these firepower points must have been dug out by the Eighth Route Army directly using the premise. Hard to destroy!"

"Is there no other way to destroy these four firepower points?" Major General Yoshino asked with a gloomy face, very dissatisfied.

"Yes, use explosives to explode! Put the explosives in the shooting hole, detonate the explosives, and destroy it from the inside of the firepower point!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"Bageyalu, what kind of solution is this? If there is a way to send the explosives to the firing holes, I don't want bombers to bomb the mountain pass again and again; so much precious ammunition of the empire is wasted!" Major General Yoshino was angry without hesitation scolded.

The Chief of Staff's face was very ugly, but he still pretended to be very helpful and replied: "General, this is the conclusion given by the engineer squadron leader after analysis!"

"My suggestion is to dispatch tanks to cover the infantry approaching the mountain pass, then launch an attack and use explosives to blow up the remaining four firepower points!"

Major General Yoshino frowned and did not speak.

After hesitating for a full 5 minutes, he answered: "The anti-aircraft machine gun can easily penetrate the frontal armor of our light tanks at 100 meters, so we should thicken the frontal armor of the tanks, and at least cover the infantry rushing to 30 meters outside the mountain pass, and then we can go to the frontal armor of our light tanks." There is a chance to rush into the mountain pass!"

"Notify the tank brigade to hang all the extra armor on the front of the three tanks, as thick as it can be hung, and I will give them half an hour to prepare!"

"Chief of Staff, you prepare death squads and explosives. This time, you must break through the mountain pass no matter what!"

"We have been delayed here for three days. The other mopping up troops have achieved great results, but we are the only ones who have stopped moving forward. Not only have no results, but we have also lost troops."

The largest and strongest machine gun bunker on the mountainside.Hong Tao no longer saw the arrogance and self-confidence of two days ago, and his face was serious.

Chief of Staff Yang Xiong's expression was also very ugly.Nearly [-]% of the permanent firepower points were destroyed, and the casualties of nearly a hundred people made them realize that no matter how strong the fortifications are, they are vulnerable to the powerful firepower of modern weapons.

The only thing that made them happy was that there were still four machine gun bunkers left.

Relying on these four dark forts, they just withstood the last three attacks of the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than 400 Japanese puppet troops!

Because of continuous shooting, the barrels of the two heavy machine guns were directly scrapped, which shows how intense the battlefield is.

In addition to those destroyed by bombs, the battalion and company have lost 15 light and heavy machine guns in the past three days of fighting.If it hadn't been for Yang Xiong to urgently transfer the light and heavy machine guns from the rear position, the first company would have no guns to use.
