Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 499 Sea of ​​Fire

Wan Fulin, who was ordered to retreat, led his troops to the predetermined location with a heavy heart. He unexpectedly saw Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff of the headquarters. A look of shame appeared on his face. He really didn't know that the battle was like this.

What should I say to the Chief of Staff?

Wan Fulin bravely stepped forward and was about to report the battle situation when he was stopped by Zhao Yuhe, "Brigadier Wan, I already know the situation. Time is running out. We must organize our troops immediately and prepare for counterattack!" Zhao Yuhe said briefly.

Give orders.

Only then did Wan Fulin notice that there were rows of cars parked under the hill. Groups of soldiers were jumping out of the cars. They formed a group under the command of the commander. There were quite a few people. He was excited because reinforcements finally arrived.

, the chief of staff personally took command. He also noticed that these soldiers were wearing different military uniforms from his own, and there were two unfamiliar major generals beside the chief of staff.

The rushing Japanese soldiers, with the joy of victory, have been like a nightmare these days. The Chinese troops on the opposite side are like hard walnuts that cannot be smashed or chewed, causing them to suffer a lot.

Their companions turned into a handful of ashes in a small box. There was a deep fear in their hearts, especially when they heard that the enemy on the opposite side was the nemesis of the North China Expeditionary Force, a unit of Tang Qiuli's ** division.

It made my heart even more frightened.

Now, this damn line of defense that has devoured the lives of countless companions has finally been smashed with a big hole. The so-called undefeated Chinese army has also met its fate today. All that is left is to chase them from behind. It is said that,

During the Manchuria Incident, our predecessors had such a glorious life. Some Japanese soldiers even thought about how to torture the prisoners of the Japanese Army to vent their resentment.

Suddenly, there was a huge roar of motors in the sky. The Japanese soldiers raised their heads and saw more than thirty planes flying over their heads. It turned out to be those arrogant guys from the aviation team. They had not been seen for several days. Now they would appear.

, obviously trying to grab the credit, the Japanese soldiers with their short legs looked down upon these winged birds. Some Japanese soldiers made obscene and insulting gestures towards the aircraft.

It’s no wonder that these Japanese soldiers were short-sighted. The news that the North China Expeditionary Force’s aviation force was completely destroyed. The Japanese headquarters kept a tight message yesterday. Those who knew the inside story were severely warned. Han Yuan, the chief of general staff of the base camp,

Prince Miyazai said that in order to prevent the morale of the troops from being affected, the soldiers of the Empire of Japan should always maintain a courageous fighting spirit.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army at the grassroots level always believed that in the sky of North China, only the eagle of the Japanese Empire was flying proudly. However, the Japanese soldiers who fought bloody battles for several days had no respect for the dead eagle that took the opportunity to pick peaches.

After the fleet of aircraft circled above the Japanese army, they suddenly swooped down, and many small black dots fell out of the belly of the aircraft. The Japanese commander suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that it was an imperial eagle and a Chinese aircraft.

"Air strike! Evacuate and take cover!" The Japanese soldiers were in confusion at that time. They were running around looking for a place to hide. There was nowhere to hide in the flat fields. The bombs had already fallen. Thick plumes of fire were rising from the ground.

The plume of smoke and aerial bombs were really impressive. When one bomb fell, a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the ground. A black hole appeared in the crowd of Japanese soldiers.

The fighter jet dexterously pressed its nose, and two fire chains were drawn to the ground, stirring up strings of dust. The Japanese soldiers whirled and fell to the ground. Large-caliber air combat machine gun bullets cut their bodies in two.

The plane pulled up and then repeated the previous action. Wherever the fire chain touched, the Japanese soldiers were like rows of sorghum being cut down.

Both bombers and fighter planes are equipped with weapons. Transport aircraft are originally used to move supplies and have no weapons at all. This does not prevent them from participating in the battle, and they can fight better than fighter planes and bombers.

After receiving the order for all members of the team to join the battle, the crew of the transport plane gathered together. Everyone was worried. After all, their bombers still have cannons for self-defense. What do we have on our plane? Even if we get the weapons, where should we go?

Where to install it? You can't just hold a machine gun, open the hatch and fire towards the ground, right?

Later, someone with a smart head reminded everyone that our transport planes have the same advantage. They can carry more than their planes. The old boy Han Fuju has so many bombs and mortars in his arsenal, no matter what

What, as long as it is thrown to the ground, it can kill the Japanese. After saying this, everyone became aware of it.

Once you have an idea, the next step will be easy. There is a lot of gasoline stored at Jinan Airport. Put the gasoline in a small bucket, stuff it with a detonator and a little gunpowder. This thing is more powerful than a bomb. If you tinker with it three times, you can make it several times.

Hundreds of gasoline barrel bombs filled several transport planes, but no one was sure whether this thing would work or not.

The transport planes were the third batch to swoop down. They opened some hatches and manually pushed the bombs out. Fortunately, the Japanese troops were too dense and the flying height was not high. They did not require accuracy. They just dropped them all at once. The bombs were not dropped.

It's time to use new weapons.

He held it on fire and quickly threw it out. The gasoline barrel bomb swayed to the ground. Suddenly, a huge fireball exploded on the ground. With the explosion, the gasoline splashed with flames and stuck to the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

, it burned immediately, and the splash range was wider than that of an aerial bomb.

The Japanese soldiers were covered in flames and ran around aimlessly screaming. They were probably insane. No matter what they encountered, they hugged them tightly. As a result, many Japanese soldiers who were not splashed with gasoline were already in flames.

The person's companion hugged him, and the more painful he became, the more he refused to let go. Together, they burned the human body candle.

The following situation stunned the pilots of the fighter planes and bombers of the Air Force. These old guys on the transport planes really have unique skills. They were so impressed that they fell to the ground. Not to mention them, even the bomb makers were stunned. This thing

It's so easy to use, I'll throw it away quickly.

This is a powerful destructive power. As the gasoline barrel bombs are dropped one after another, the area covered by the aircraft is filled with a sea of ​​fire. In the sea of ​​​​fire are Japanese soldiers wailing and running wildly. Some gasoline barrel bombs have a short fuse.

After the fire was thrown, it exploded dozens of meters above the ground before it hit the ground.

This is an even more disastrous consequence. Burning gasoline falls like raindrops in the sky, covering a larger area. Every drop of gasoline is a deadly devil. The Japanese soldiers stuck to it immediately become a blazing mobile torch. This unexpected

The discovery inspired the transport crew to follow suit and delay the launch for a few seconds.

They were proud enough to inadvertently create the origin of napalm bombs. According to analysis, later, the napalm bombs widely used by the U.S. Air Force bomber fleet were developed based on this technology. Unfortunately, the always shameless

Americans, they refused to admit that this was plagiarism of technology invented by the Chinese, which cost these guys a lot of money in patent fees.

When the Japanese commander saw this scene, his liver and gallbladder were split. The Imperial Japanese Army, which was as unstoppable as an iron current, actually allowed the despicable Chinese people to massacre like this. He called the nearest machine gunners and immediately organized anti-aircraft shooting. The key point was that

Several big-bellied transport planes throwing fire bombs must be shot down at any cost.

The Japanese commander went crazy. He claimed to be highly educated and well-informed. He had never seen such a deadly thing. He saw a black thing thrown out of the belly of the plane and exploded into a ball of fire.

, then, his soldiers were all on fire, rolling on the ground, wailing in pain, and they cleverly named them Fire Bombs.

He had long noticed the possible anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese army. The fighter jets sent a string of bullets over them. The Japanese machine gun shooter was beaten to the point of being knocked upside down. Before he died, he still held the trigger tightly. As a result, his companions who were not dead around him fell to the ground.

As luck would have it, a handful of bullets killed a dozen of them.

This was simply a one-sided massacre. The Japanese army, which had no anti-aircraft firepower, suffered a huge loss. When the fleet started to attack, Zhao Yuhe ordered Wan Fulin's 7th Brigade, Feng Kai's 9th Brigade, and Chen Guozhu's 3rd Brigade.

The tenth brigade formed a three-sided fire network to drive the Japanese soldiers who tried to evade to the sides and front back to the aircraft bombing range.

This formation was like a pot of boiling water in which tens of thousands of Japanese troops were cooked. Wan Fulin and the soldiers of the 7th Brigade were stunned by this strange tactic. At the same time, they felt relieved.

, After being suppressed and beaten by the little devils for several days, many good brothers fell under the gunpoint of the Japanese. Now, they finally have a chance to vent their anger.

After the fleet dropped all the bombs and gasoline barrel bombs, they flew triumphantly towards Dingbian. They should be proud that they had created a miracle for the first time they participated in the war. On the battlefield, the raging fires finally gradually extinguished and thickened.

In the smoke, there was a burning smell that choked the nose, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers burned into black charcoal were scattered across dozens of kilometers of wilderness.

The big bag prepared by Liu Tiehan took the risk and contained more than 40,000 Japanese troops at once. After the devastating bombing by the aircraft fleet, the remaining Japanese troops were only five or six thousand, and the rest were either corpses or turned into charcoal.

Zhao Yuhe commanded the troops of three brigades and quickly surrounded and annihilated the remaining Japanese troops who had lost their souls. Then, taking advantage of the situation, he regained the first line of defense of the Dashan defensive position and handed it over to the seventh brigade for defense. He also transferred a reinforcement regiment from the ninth brigade.

The troops were assigned to Wan Fulin's command.

Wan Fulin was very surprised. He originally thought that his troops had been severely damaged and had no strength to fight anymore in the eyes of the commander-in-chief. The new troops would definitely take over his defensive positions. However, he knew that this was the case.

His heart felt moved by the trust and trust he received from his arrangement.

As four new brigades joined the Texas battlefield, Liu Tiehan used his cutting-edge troops to launch a sudden counterattack at night against a few nails that broke into our defense line. In one fell swoop, he uprooted the Japanese attack foothold that was a threat to the defense line.

The Japanese troops, who were attacked by local superior forces, retreated one after another.

On November 12, the Dezhou defense line finally passed the most difficult stage. All the lost ground was recovered and returned to the pre-war situation. However, the Japanese army with superior strength still maintained strong pressure on Liu Tiehan's troops. The Dezhou battlefield

, at present, we can only take a defensive stance.
