Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 274: This road is blocked

Throughout the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, China's air power was almost at an absolute disadvantage. The heroic soldiers had to brave the indiscriminate bombings of Japanese aircraft, fight bloody battles, and pay heavy sacrifices. Although in the later stages of the war,

The presence of General Chennault's Flying Tigers cannot change this reality.

Tang Qiuli did not have an airplane, so he could only combine the strengthening of 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.

In large corps operations, the strike force from the air is very crucial. Ever since the Chinese Army fought against the Japanese invaders, the blue sky has become their nightmare. From time to time, demonic Japanese planes will drill out from overhead and fly toward them.

They rained down evil bullets and bombs.

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 Mao Zedong really gave these Japanese air demons a headache. Guerrilla warfare and Japanese aircraft were everywhere.

, you will never drop bombs for a dozen people and seven or eight guns. The Japanese can't afford it. In that bear place, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of beasts.

With the current scale and equipment level of the **Division, the future battle against Japan is destined to be a large-corps combat mode. Air defense issues have always been the weak link that Tang Qiuli is most worried about, and it is also an issue that the **Division urgently needs to solve.

Su Jingfeng did not realize how important the army's air defense capabilities would be in the coming war. Because of his thinking, in the future war against Japan, Su Jingfeng's brigade suffered a big loss from Japanese aircraft. In the end, he

My good friend and best partner, the deputy brigade commander, was strafed by Japanese planes during that blocking battle, hit in the head, and died on the spot.

This is also the death of the highest-ranking officer since the formation of the ** division. For this reason, Su Jingfeng was dismissed from the position of brigade commander and demoted to deputy brigade commander. The acting brigade commander publicly reviewed it at the division meeting. After experiencing this bloody lesson

, the **2nd Brigade shot down the most Japanese aircraft in subsequent battles and became one of the units with the most outstanding results in air combat.

After following Tang Qiuli for a long time, Liu Tiehan also learned many of Tang Qiuli's practices. The battle summary was divided into two parts for analysis. First, the troop casualties, and then the number of enemy annihilations and results. Therefore, there should be no undue response to the occurrence of Su Jingfeng's brigade.

Casualties, very angry.

There was nothing going on here at the ** Division, and the Japanese planes suffered heavy losses. They fired nine artillery pieces and almost wiped out the whole army. But that doesn't mean that everything is fine elsewhere.

The situation of the open-air battle just now also fell into the eyes of the soldiers of the Zhao Chengshou Division of the Jin Army who were dozens of kilometers away from the ** Division's position. Unexpectedly, that soldier had sharp eyes and shouted, and the Jin Army soldiers rushed out of the barracks. These

The soldiers who had seen such a wonderful scene all rushed to the hillside, and seven to eight thousand people crowded into a big crowd.

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

.

With such a large number of people gathered together, the target was obvious. After calming down for a moment, the Japanese pilot, who was lucky to have escaped, was looking for a place to throw the bomb. The flight regulations required that bombers must not land with bombs. Your bomb has not

Throw it on the enemy's head, and try to throw it somewhere else.

Now that they have a target, these three Japanese rookie pilots are thinking about where to drop the bomb so that they can return to the mission. If they have this opportunity, they discuss over the radio and drop the bomb here.

It must be the anti-aircraft firepower of the Xiaowutai Mountain Division's position, which has left a serious psychological shadow on the three pilots. They did not dare to dive for fear of being deceived.

Throw all the bombs down, and then fly away, without even having to check the effects of the bombing.

Twelve heavy bombs, with screams, fell from the sky. The soldiers of the Jin Army before the Sino-Japanese War had never seen such a scene. They looked stupidly at the iron balls falling from the sky, not knowing what they were about.

Something happened.

The smart-minded officer instinctively felt that this was not a good thing, and shouted desperately for everyone to disperse. Finally, most of the soldiers listened to the commander and escaped this disaster that fell from the sky. There is always something unlucky, a loud noise, and the ground shook.

, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the soldiers of the Jin army were enveloped in the bloody wind.

When the explosion stopped, the shocked Jin soldiers shook off the dirt from their heads and faces, and stared blankly at more than a dozen large pits with a diameter of ** meters. Beside the pits, there were broken limbs and broken military uniforms.

, the bright red blood dyed 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 felt like crying without tears. In the blink of an eye, more than 400 soldiers from the reinforced battalion were gone. Old man, that old man, my Commander Yan, I will pay for this business.

It's so big that you don't even have a hair to see. More than 400 lives have been taken first. Why are you thousands of miles away doing this fun?

As the Japanese bombers returned with failure, the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield returned to calm. The surrounded bandits felt nothing, but the Japanese soldiers became very sad. In just a short time, more than 30 people committed suicide.

The commander of the Yamaguchi Brigade, with two regiments of more than 6,000 soldiers, was rushing to the Xiaowutai Mountain area. He seemed to hear a faint explosion, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, these aviation guys never know how to coordinate infantry and air. We

Before it arrives, you will explode first with the help of your quick legs.

This place is still more than a hundred miles away from the reception point. When we arrived, the Army Division sealed the opening again and responded to that one. It was almost enough to pick up the body. Do you think our infantry are all birdmen with wings?

When Yamaguchi was worried and troubled, the captain of the vanguard squadron in charge of the march came to report that the Chinese army was exercising in front of him. It was designated as a military restricted area and no one was allowed to pass. There was also a big sign that read "This road is impassable, especially

He's Japanese," asked for instructions on how to deal with it, should we take a detour?

Yamaguchi was too lazy to talk nonsense with these low-level officers who were full of shit. Without raising his eyelids, he waved his hand: "Baga, open the way to the Mas" exercise? Are you kidding? The Chinese army came here to exercise, clearly trying to find an excuse to stop us from going.

Receiving Badalhu and more than 2,000 imperial soldiers.

As a senior commander of the Japanese army, Yamaguchi was indeed competent. He immediately judged Tang Qiuli's intention. However, he did not take this matter to heart at all. The Chinese soldiers actually played such childish tricks. This is a common practice.

The nearest road to Xiaowutai Mountain is more than 200 kilometers away if you don't take this route.

Not to mention this small place, how about Manchuria? How about Tianjin? The army of the Empire of Japan came in as soon as they were told. This is a manifestation of the strong force of the empire. The Chinese government and army are not helpless. It is clearly stated on the sign.

As an insult to the empire, these hateful Chinese people will do some sneaky things.

Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce gunfire from the front. Yamaguchi was indeed an outstanding officer of the Japanese Empire. His tactical movements were very skillful. He immediately rolled off his saddle and dismounted, looking for a hidden place. He settled himself first, and then made time to observe the front.

movement.

This time, it was a regiment commander who ran over breathlessly to report that when the vanguard squadron wanted to forcefully pass through the China Army exercise area, it was blocked by the opponent. The opponent's attitude was tough and very arrogant. There were many disrespectful words towards the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

The words, our soldiers couldn't bear it and wanted to teach the Chinese soldiers a lesson. The other side fired a warning shot. Now there are five casualties.

When Yamaguchi heard this, he was furious. He had never heard that the Chinese army dared to stop the two regiments of imperial soldiers, but they dared to shoot without knowing what to do. If I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know what it means to be powerful.

If you don't let them pass, then fight them. I am happy to massacre the Chinese soldiers as an interlude in this mission. Under Yamaguchi's order, the Japanese infantry began to move forward. The two artillery brigades also began to build artillery positions and calculate shooting.

Zhuyuan.

Seeing that the Japanese army was busy deploying, Tang Qiuli knew that the Japs were about to get serious. This battle was unavoidable. He ordered the two reinforcement regiments to each send a reinforced battalion to the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army.

The four battalions moved quickly towards the left and right wings of the Japanese army. Once the frontal attack started, they waited for orders to attack the two wings of the Japanese army.

The frontal troops quickly entered the position, and all the artillery formed a temporary artillery regiment, which was directly under their own command. After the Japanese artillery fired, they were immediately suppressed and then destroyed.

Tang Qiuli had capital in hand. Each regiment of the ** division had an artillery battalion, equipped with thirty-eight artillery pieces of various calibers, including six field artillery pieces with a caliber of 100 mm and eight mountain artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm.

door, and the rest are easy-to-carry Type 92 infantry guns and a small number of mortars.

Moreover, they all use high-explosive artillery shells produced by the arsenal. The explosive power far exceeds that of the Japanese artillery. This is what Tang Qiuli has repeatedly insisted on. The intensity of ground attack firepower must be more than twice that of the Japanese army. If it is dispersed to

Each company's mortars hit an astonishing number of more than 200 mortars.

Yamaguchi didn't know that he was facing the Japanese Army. Otherwise, he would think about it calmly. The Japanese general's performance in the Northeast would make any Japanese general feel guilty, let alone the boss of the Japanese Army.

Waiting for him personally and not letting him get close to the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield was his main task. Tang Qiuli also enjoyed beating the Japanese soldiers who had no eyes.

No matter what you say, the Japanese divisions always take it for granted. During any military exercise, they will mark off restricted areas and break in by force. They deserve to be beaten to death. Even if the lawsuit is brought to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, they will say that the Japanese are in the wrong.

What's more, according to the character of the Japanese, if they are not ready for a full-scale war, they will suffer a loss and keep face. This will damage the military power of the Japanese Empire. Tang Qiuli knew it in his heart.

It would be nice to take this opportunity to give the Japanese a good beating.
