Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The attack by the artillery company of the New Second Regiment had been going on for a full five minutes.

After seeing with their own eyes that the airport they were guarding almost suffered a devastating blow, the young people showed amazing execution ability and completed the assembly of all personnel in just five minutes.

They were made a little angry by the sudden attack. Each of their eyes looked scarlet, as if they were going to skin the enemy on the opposite side alive.

The three Japanese squadron leaders stood at the front of the team. They pulled out their command swords, pointed the blades directly at the position of the New Second Regiment, and then shouted: "To tsu ge ki!"

Under the leadership of their captain, hundreds of young men carried their bayonets with their waists held in their hands. They charged towards the front position where artillery fire was still being fired, with a vague aura of victory.

The beasts were worthy of their origins in the Class B division and did not lose their minds due to anger.

During the charge, they strictly followed the "Drills and Regulations" and maintained the skirmish line.

After all, the "Jinsui Army" in front has strong firepower, and rushing forward in a group will only lead to death.

Looking at the menacing enemy, Le Zhengdou retracted his body into the simple trench. He picked up the portable communicator in his hand and reported:

"Captain, the little devils are coming! It looks like there should be more than 400 people!"

At this time, Li Yunlong was moving positions with the artillery company. The destruction of the airport was basically completed, so there was no need to continue fighting against Xiaoli.

As long as the group of chasing enemies can be eliminated, the New Second Regiment can retreat according to the original plan.

The preset second artillery position was more than 600 meters behind. The woods there did not affect the artillery fire. Wang Chengzhu had already led his soldiers to prepare for support.

Although the accuracy of the mortar is very average, its maneuverability is much better than that of the barrel gun, which is very suitable for the current combat habits of the Eighth Route Army.

After hearing the information provided by his third battalion commander, he took the time to pick up the telescope hanging around his neck and look at the battlefield in the distance, and then asked in a solemn tone:

"Is the minefield laid out alright?"

"Don't worry, captain, I have arranged all the mines we brought out this time. These little treasures are definitely enough for the Japanese to drink. When the time comes, our battalion will rush in to clean up the mess, and we will definitely be able to defeat them quickly."

Landmines, a cheap defensive weapon, are best used when the enemy's attack route is known.

The shooting pit dug by Wang Chengzhu is two kilometers away from Taiyuan Airport, while the Japs' warning circle is only 1.5 kilometers. This 500 meters is also the comfort zone of the Japs' grenadier soldiers.

Although Takeshi Fujimoto deployed patrols on the periphery, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment took advantage of the opponent's patrol distance and empiricism to create a fifty-meter minefield without anyone noticing.

Using the chaos created by this minefield, the comrades can end the battle before the enemy's grenade can take effect.

At this moment, the Japanese squadron leader who was rushing to the front showed a murderous smile.

The area around Taiyuan Airport is almost entirely open, with almost no cover except for the woods in front of it.

The three squadrons only need to hold back those "Jinsui Army", and it won't take long for mobile troops to arrive from the city to support them. By then, the enemy will be 100% unable to fly, and total annihilation will be a matter of time.

Even if their merits and demerits cannot be balanced, they can still be considered as making up for the situation.

The enemy's large-caliber mortars are indeed very intimidating, but continuous shelling for so long has reached its limit.

As long as we advance another hundred meters, it will be our artillery's turn. Although there are no infantry guns or mortars, and they lack large-caliber support weapons, their three squadrons have a total of 27 grenade launchers.

It's time to make your enemies feel the pain!

Just when the Japanese Lieutenant was making his wishful thinking, a lucky man behind him stepped on a landmine. The aftermath of the explosion and shrapnel instantly incapacitated those nearby.

The Japanese squadron leader was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. Before he died, he didn't even think about one thing. How on earth could the "Jinsui Army" operate under the patrol's nose and lay landmines?

The mines, which were full of materials, were triggered one after another. A small number of the infantrymen of the three squadrons were killed and most of them were injured.

After the smoke from the explosion, the battlefield was filled with wails and flesh and blood.

For the airport's garrison, this position is now awkward.

Although they were about to enter the effective range of the grenade, our infantry did suffer heavy casualties and even the formation was messed up, making it difficult to protect the artillery.

If they stop moving forward, the "Jinsui Army" will most likely run away in front of them. No one can accept such consequences.

Just when the Japanese were still hesitating, the commander of the third battalion, Le Zhengdou, led the soldiers to descend from the sky with magic weapons.

Considering the special nature of this mission, the brigade commander specially transferred 80 MAS-38 submachine guns to the New Second Regiment.

After climbing out of the simple trench, the commandos sprinted with all their strength to within the range of the submachine guns. This reversal of offensive and defensive roles has simply shocked the little ones all year long.

And how come the promised "Jinsui Army" turned into the Eighth Route Army? This dress is the wrong color! We are obviously the attacking party, why don't you follow the routine and charge back in the open?

Because of the mines, the light machine guns and grenade launchers of the three squadrons were not ready. Eighty submachine guns plus a dozen shell guns VS 38 guns, times have changed.

"Hit me!"

Da da da.

The sound of gunshots sounded like fried beans, and the compact melee weapons exploded with astonishing power.

At this distance, soldiers can hit the Japanese without careful aim.

Warriors like Monk and Duan Peng, who have extensive shooting training and outstanding physical fitness, have a high hit rate even while walking.

In the rain of bullets woven by the French infantry's small weapons, the enemies were like leeks meeting a sharp sickle, falling down one after another in an orderly manner.

The eighty submachine guns cooperated perfectly with the light machine guns on the side positions, and the Japanese infantry had no ability to resist. Blood mist was spattered on their bodies, and they were beaten into pieces by pistol bullets.

Just one wave of attacks caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese.

At the airport sentry post, the gap in combat power between the two sides made Fujimoto Takeshi's brows jump wildly. He touched his chin and couldn't help but said: "What a dense firepower. Is this really the Eighth Route Army?"

The exact number of people on the other side cannot yet be determined.

But just now the enemy only used more than a hundred people to suppress three of his squadrons. This style of play reminded him of the Jinsui Army four years ago.

At that time, the enemy's grassroots firepower was also so fierce, and submachine guns participated in the battle very frequently. The warriors of the younger brother's country were often suppressed by the opponent's submachine gun fire during the charge.

According to statistics, in the Battle of Xinkou that year, the Shanxi-Sui Army actually consumed 2.9 million rounds of submachine gun ammunition.

During the later Battle of Taiyuan, the opponent's troops suffered heavy losses and their numbers dropped sharply, but they still used 680,000 rounds of submachine gun ammunition.

Now, more than half of his three squadrons were lost in the first exchange of fire. This convinced Fujimoto Takeshi that the opponent was the disguised Jinsui Army.

The enemy must have used the Hundred Regiment Battle of the Eighth Route Army as a cover to achieve his ulterior secret.

——————————————

"Masaka!"

Just as they were holding a combat meeting, Yoshio Shinozuka and his staff were interrupted by an explosion.

After receiving the news from the city defenders, the old devil spoke a few words of Japanese in the book! He was even reluctant to accept this bloody reality.

The current situation in Jin Province is really bad, and the security war has almost completely failed.

As the commander of the First Army, he has not had a good day's rest since the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Campaign began.

Not only did he have to face Tada Jun's scolding every day, but he also had to be constantly on tenterhooks, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would make some noise again.

At this time, he held his command knife and sat in the center of the brightly lit combat hall with a gloomy face. The staff officers around him stopped their movements and did not dare to disturb his general's thinking.

Jinsui Army?

impossible! Absolutely impossible! Is what the legendary commander of the Second Theater Command said true?

Being pro-Japanese is for the sake of existence, being pro-communist is also for the sake of existence. The position is changeable, but the existence is immutable! Just a hundred-regiment battle had the stability of the West Mountain shaken?

As for whether the people below lied about the military situation, Yoshio Shinozuka did not think that his direct subordinates would joke about such a critical matter.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army did not have the ability to attack the First Army's airport. Although they received assistance from certain international organizations, large-caliber mortars were not among them.

What's more, a wave of infantry and artillery is the Jinsui Army's way of fighting!

The five airports near Taiyuan are all heavily guarded. As the only air force under his command, he often inspects the defense arrangements there.

Just the 1.5-kilometer warning circle and the garrison of three squadrons, plus those permanent fortifications that meet the division-level engagement requirements, can be called an absolute defense circle.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and his old face turned red from suppressing it.

"Call Fujimoto Takeshi and Asakawa Masaki immediately and ask them about the damage to the 29th Independent Flying Group and the airport?"

Only three minutes later, a staff officer brought a folder to the combat conference room. He stood upright and began to report the damage report he had just received.

Li Yunlong was really good at seizing opportunities. At that time, the ground crew had just completed the complete work and the pilot had not boarded the plane. Faced with the sudden bombardment, the Japanese had no shelter at all.

This resulted in eight of the twenty-two Type 97 fighter jets being blown up without even the possibility of repair.

Another fourteen were seriously damaged by scattered shrapnel and were unable to take off. With the existing materials of the First Army, there is no possibility of repair in a short time.

The most important thing is that many pilots were lost. Army Aviation Major Masaki Asakawa is still in a coma. Seven of the remaining 21 people were shot to death on the spot, and 14 were seriously injured.

Although at this time in 1940, there were still enough pilots in this book, the Army Airlines had a competitor like Hainan Airlines.

Most of the pilots who have just graduated from aviation schools are snatched away by the navy. Having lost so many people at once, it is probably more difficult to replenish than the plane.

The 29th Independent Flying Group has been disabled and has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

There was also significant damage to the tarmac and runway, but these can be repaired.

As for the loss of the ground crew, it is still acceptable. Although it is more troublesome to cultivate this thing, it still leaves the seeds. It's just that this is a profession that is easy to get started and difficult to master, and the efficiency of future preparations will definitely be affected.

This level of loss has exceeded the limit that Yoshio Shinozuka can accept. This old devil is covering his heart, it hurts! It hurts so much!

Putting aside the uncertainty about whether his new love will live or die, those twenty-two planes alone are uncomfortable enough.

Judging from the resources of our younger brother's country, unless the Kwantung Army is liberated, this gap will not be filled for a while.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't hold back his anger. He pulled out his command knife and did another desktop cleaning master, and then shouted to the staff:

"Tell the chasing troops! If you want to see people alive or dead, you will see corpses! If the enemy is allowed to escape, they will not come back!"

After he recovered a little at home, the staff officer opened the folder and continued:

"The city defense troops found a large number of pistol shell casings at the scene, and they have sent cavalry to pursue them."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, opened the window and looked in the direction of the airport.

You can see raging fires burning in the direction of the airport from a distance, and there are explosions from time to time, as if the oil has been ignited again.

In recent years, the North China Front's attitude towards the Jin clique has always been to induce surrender, trying to establish a government similar to Wang Wangwang. This will free up some troops to continue to invade other areas.

Previously, the Second Theater did not participate in the Hundred Regiment Battle in cooperation with the Eighth Route Army, which made Yoshio Shinozuka very happy.

But now the Jinsui Army suddenly disguised itself to attack Taiyuan, which had to make the old devils be more vigilant and question whether their previous ambiguous period with the Jin clique was true or false.

"Contact Commander Tada Shun immediately, the situation has changed!"

Thanks to the book friends who gave me suggestions. I did not delete the paragraph review. I changed the details and then the system swallowed it.
