Just when the Japanese army was preparing to launch a full-scale attack, black spots appeared in the sky from far to near.
When he saw the black spots in the sky through the telescope, his face became solemn.
These black spots were Japanese fighter planes with plaster flags printed on them.
There were more than 20 of them, half of which were bombers.
At this time, he couldn't help but admire the commander's foresight in forming an anti-aircraft artillery battalion.
Otherwise, facing this situation, they might only be able to passively take the bombing.
"Order the anti-aircraft battalion to prepare for battle and let them in to fight."
More than a dozen Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns and 20 M2HB heavy machine guns using anti-aircraft machine gun mounts have been deployed on the high ground on both sides of Erdaogou.
There are also anti-aircraft gun positions consisting of 12 88 guns around the positions.
These anti-aircraft weapons form a tight air defense network.
Hattori Heijiro looked at the Army Aviation fighter planes that arrived on time and a smile appeared on his face.
With the support of the aviation force, there is no need to be afraid of the opponent's heavy artillery.
""Shoot!"
On the Japanese artillery position, 8 75mm field guns began to fire.
6 Type 92 infantry guns also joined the bombardment.
This was all the artillery fire of their battalion.
One shell after another fell on the position.
But it did not bring threatening damage to the position.
After all, it was only a 75mm artillery.
""Fire back!"
After finding the enemy's artillery position, nine Krupp 105mm howitzers also began to fire.
At this distance, they did not need to calibrate their fire.
Suddenly, the Japanese artillery position was surrounded by explosions and chaos.
The Japanese fighter planes in the sky began to accelerate.
As if they smelled blood, they roared towards the direction of the artillery position.
When they entered the air defense network, the anti-aircraft machine guns and Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns hidden on the high ground on both sides began to fire.
The dense rain of bullets roared towards the low-flying Japanese aircraft like a rainstorm.
The sudden burst of bullets on both sides caught the Japanese pilots off guard.
Their faces changed drastically and they began to maneuver to avoid.
However, they were flying too low, only two or three hundred meters above sea level.
And the aircraft group was dense. The speed was slow.
In an instant, several Nakajima fighters and Type 87 attack planes fell with thick smoke.
Hattori Heijiro and others who saw this scene were stunned.
No one expected that the Chinese troops on the opposite side had hidden such a large number of anti-aircraft weapons.
At this time, the hidden 88 artillery group also joined in.
Their target was the bomber group flying higher.
Suddenly, the whole sky was covered with black smoke.
These were the traces of anti-aircraft shells exploding in the sky.
From time to time, Japanese planes fell down.
The pilots of the Kwantung Army had never encountered such a situation.
The entire fleet began to become chaotic.
In order to avoid ground artillery fire, one fighter plane after another ran around like a headless fly.
The ground anti-artillery bombardment also achieved considerable results.
Even though the eight 75mm field guns were protected by fortifications, they suffered heavy losses.
Two guns had been blown into pieces, and four were damaged and unusable.
The situation of the infantry guns was not much better. Although the Type 92 infantry gun is very classic, its range is only 2.7 kilometers, which is not as long as the range of the 82mm mortar.
They are naturally the focus of the Type 92 infantry gun.
The 60mm mortar has been keeping a close eye on the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers.
In addition, the precision shooters of each class also played a role in this battle.
They used the Springfield sniper rifles in their hands to suppress the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers.
This set of tactics was specially formed to target the Japanese army.
"Attack!"
Seeing that the artillery advantage was gone, the Japanese army immediately organized a ground force to attack.
The Japanese army formed three waves of attacks on the front battlefield with squadrons as the scale.
While providing cover, the attacking forces on the left and right wings also outflanked the two sides of the Erdaogou position.
The soldiers of the first battalion, who were ready to go, opened fire decisively after the Japanese army entered the range.
The Japanese attacking troops began to fall in groups as soon as they entered the minefield.
This scene directly shocked Hattori Heijiro and others.
"this....Are the people on the other side really Chinese?"
If the other side had not been yellow-skinned, he would have thought he had encountered elite Western infantry.
At this time, he also understood why the 25th Infantry Battalion was annihilated.
"Increase the intensity of the attack and break through their positions in one fell swoop."
Although the firepower of the Erdaogou position is very strong, there are not many troops.
And we have several times more troops than the enemy.
We only need to pay some price to take it down.
At this time, the battlefield in the sky began to come to an end.
After dropping 8 fighter planes.
The rest of the Japanese Army Aviation fighter planes ran away directly.
The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower is too dense, just like a hedgehog that is hard to bite.
And continuing to fight will not gain any advantage at all.
So they decisively chose to retreat.
This also made Hattori Heijiro want to curse. The huge Japanese offensive clusters continued to attack the positions.
Their artillery had been completely suppressed. They were suppressed.
No longer launching attacks under the cover of artillery fire.
Xie Ning had to admire their courage.
Did they think that they could take down the Erdaogou position he had carefully arranged by relying on human wave tactics?
But he was also happy to see this.
And he found that he had overestimated these little devils.
Maybe there was no need to lure the enemy deep into the territory.
Jiang Fan was still using his strong financial resources to build his own trump card.
It was really great to have sufficient funds.
