Chapter 477: Anti-Air Raid

"The third battalion carried out a roundabout flanking attack. The second battalion, under the cover of anti-aircraft machine guns, immediately charged from the front to the broken Japanese troops, preparing to completely annihilate the young Japanese soldiers in front of them. The bugler blew the charge horn, and the troops immediately launched a counterattack. Charge." It can be said that the little Japanese retreated before the battle, which was unexpected by the regiment leader Xu Ying. And then they saw that there were only more than 300 Japanese soldiers left, under the crazy fire of more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, Immediately after the retreat turned into a rout, a battle plan to completely annihilate the remaining Japanese soldiers in front of him was formed in Xu Ying's mind...

Looking at the Japanese soldiers in front of her position, who were on the verge of abandoning their troops and retreating madly. Xu Ying no longer hesitated about her thoughts. She immediately ordered the troops to the two battalion commanders around her. The order to charge….

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..." A loud charge horn sounded, and nearly a thousand soldiers from the two battalions immediately let out bursts of roars. The densely packed soldiers were like tigers descending the mountain, carrying their Armed with weapons, he rushed out of his position and chased after the little Japanese who were escaping hastily in front of him. Especially all the commanders and fighters of the third battalion who had been serving in the reserve team and had not been on the battlefield. After receiving the order to attack, each soldier, at this time At this moment, like wild horses running wild, you chased after each other, quickly chasing the more than 300 Japanese soldiers remaining in front of the position...

In the end, the remaining more than 300 Japanese soldiers who had almost lost their spirit were attacked by two battalions of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment reinforced from the airport. The battle lasted less than five minutes. , all were wiped out. Of the more than 300 Japanese soldiers, except for the more than 100 who still resisted, they were killed mercilessly by the soldiers. The rest were completely frightened by the terrifying firepower fired by the four regiments just now. All of the more than a hundred Japanese soldiers obediently became prisoners of the soldiers. It became the battle in which the Independent Division captured the most Japanese soldiers at one time since the founding of the army...

"Report to the Commander, the Second Brigade of the Direct Column, the Armored Brigade, and the Heavy Artillery Regiment successfully completed their mission and completely annihilated all Japanese defenders at the airport. All 42 aircraft staying at the airport were destroyed by our army without exception... In addition, at At the airport, our army also seized a large number of weapons and ammunition that were not detonated directly by artillery fire. In particular, the armored brigade seized six tanks at the airport that the little devils had no time to destroy, as well as a large amount of ammunition attached to them." As the airport continued, " Inside, the last little devil was eliminated by the soldiers. Luo Zhihui, commander of the second brigade, and Yang Jinghua, commander of the armored brigade. The two people immediately came to the commander of the temporary headquarters, Liu Hua, to report the specific results...

"Okay, good fight... In one night, we broke off one of the little Jaap's arms in Peiping. We did a good job... However, several hours have passed since the battle began, and there is still more than an hour to go. It's going to be daylight. I wonder how the progress of the third brigade is. Listening to the sound, the sound of gunfire from the three gates of Beiping City seems to be getting more intense." Regarding the results achieved by the two troops, the commander Liu Hua nodded approvingly. Then, he turned his gaze to the remaining three gates of Beiping City not far away, where artillery fire was still blazing and explosions continued. They frowned at the few people in front of them. Brows asked...

"Report to Commander, Brigadier Wang of the Third Brigade sent a telegram to report on the progress of the three regiments. At the same time, ask about the next action plan of the Third Brigade." Just as Liu Hua finished speaking, a communications staff officer took a

After receiving the telegram, he hurried over and said to the few people in front of him.

"You're talking about Wang Benqing's telegram. Come on, show me the telegram. What the hell is this Wang Benqing doing? It's been several hours and he hasn't even sent me a telegram to report the specific situation..." As he spoke,

Commander Liu Hua, who looked eager, had already snatched the telegram from the hands of the communications staff and began to read it carefully...

"Okay, okay, good fight..." Just after reading the telegram in his hand, Commander Liu Hua couldn't help but look excited, and said three good words to the people in front of him...

"Commander, how is the situation of the third brigade? Where are the troops attacking?" Commander Liu Hua, who looked excited after reading the telegram, and commander of the second brigade Luo Zhihui hurriedly asked.

"Haha, take a look for yourselves. I didn't expect that the anti-aircraft guns we have and the turrets used to fight the Japanese are even more powerful than the anti-Japanese artillery. According to Brigadier Wang's telegram, the Japanese are building outside the city.

The various bunkers and turrets were like paper in front of the anti-aircraft guns, unable to withstand the blows of the shells fired by the anti-aircraft guns... The three main regiments actually advanced several times in less than four hours.

It’s hard to believe that more than a hundred bunker towers, large and small, were destroyed at a distance of 100 meters..." After handing the telegram in his hand to Luo Zhihui in front of him, Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Commander, I really didn't expect that the anti-aircraft guns would be so powerful when fired horizontally. According to the current progress rate of the Third Brigade, at most, the three main regiments will be able to attack the outside of Beiping in one day at most.

"After reading the telegram in his hand, Luo Zhihui, commander of the Second Brigade, followed closely behind Liu Hua and said with the same excitement.

"However, Commander, although the Peiping Airport has been destroyed by us, after all, Beiping City can still receive air reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, Shijiazhuang... several airports. If it gets brighter, the Japs' air reinforcements will arrive. The three attackers are

The brigade has no hiding place around Beiping City, so it will definitely suffer huge losses under the bombing by Japanese aircraft." Armored Brigade Commander Yang Jinghua was not so happy, but reminded rationally.

"But Commander, Brigadier Yang. It would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity. The little devils stationed in Beiping City will definitely reoccupy their lost positions when we retreat.

.At that time, the one-night attack and sacrifice of the third brigade will be wasted. More importantly, if the troops want to attack to their current position again, they will definitely pay a huge price in casualties..." Luo Zhihui, commander of the second brigade,

He immediately objected...

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the almost omnipotent commander Liu Hua, who was standing in the middle of the headquarters. I hope the commander in front of him can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds...

"Brigadier Li, how are the two regiments of the Guard Brigade getting rested now?" Amid everyone's expectant eyes, Liu Hua turned his gaze to Bruce Lee, the gloomy and silent Guard Brigade Commander beside him.

.

"Ah, Commander... don't worry. After a night's rest, the guard brigade's morale is very high now, and it's just waiting for you to assign tasks. I guarantee that no matter what the task is, the guard brigade will complete it?" See

Bruce Lee quickly reacted to Commander Liu Hua's gaze and replied excitedly, his face full of excitement.

"Well, there is a very important task for you now. However, this task is related to the life safety of thousands of soldiers in our third brigade. I just don't know if your guard brigade dares to accept this task?"

Liu Hua nodded and continued to ask.

"Commander, don't worry, the Guard Brigade is guaranteed to complete its mission. Just give the order, the Guard Brigade will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and successfully complete the mission..." Under Liu Hua's words and encouragement, Bruce Lee

His eyes couldn't help but shine, and he asked eagerly.

"Okay, now I order the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the Guard Brigade to be responsible for the prevention and control tasks in the entire Beiping area after dawn. At that time, all the anti-aircraft machine gun companies and all the light and heavy machine guns attached to the 3rd Brigade will be handed over to your guards.

Brigade. You must ensure that Japanese reinforcement aircraft cannot drop bombs within an altitude of 500 meters." Liu Hua said affirmatively.

"Yes, Commander, the Guard Brigade guarantees to complete the mission. But, Commander, what if the Japs drop bombs at an altitude of 500 meters away? If so, in addition to nearly a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns, we will have other machine gun firepower

, it will hardly have any effect." While answering, Bruce Lee still asked with a trace of worry on his face.

"Brigade Commander Li, comrades, although the light and heavy machine guns in our hands cannot do anything to defeat the aircraft five hundred meters away, we do have a way to make the Jaap aircraft five hundred meters away lose its bombing target.

Let them not dare to drop bombs on the ground casually. I don’t know if you still remember, when our army first occupied Taiyuan, how we used to prevent the bombing of Japanese planes..." Liu Hua showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

He replied confidently...

"I understand, Commander, we are using thick smoke. We will use a large amount of thick smoke to cover the entire city of Beiping. By then, even if the Japs' planes come, they will not dare to fly in to prevent accidental damage.

Dropping bombs at high altitude..." Luo Zhihui, who had experienced the first battle of Taiyuan, reacted immediately and answered with a smile on his face.

"Yes, it's thick smoke. Since Brigadier Luo is so familiar with this matter, this task will be handed over to your second brigade. At that time, in addition to deploying the troops of a main regiment, with the support of the armored brigade and heavy artillery regiment

, in addition to launching an attack on Beiping City from the direction of the airport. The remaining two regiments will be commanded by you personally. In company units, a large number of wet thatches will be set off around Beiping City. In a word, we must

Before the little devil's plane arrives, the entire sky above Peiping will be covered with thick black smoke. Of course, if your own troops are insufficient, you can ask for help from the nearby people and guerrillas." Liu Hua nodded.

"Commander, the Second Brigade promises to complete the mission, so you can relax. By then, all the Japs' planes must be blind and deaf in the sky above Beiping City..." Luo Zhihui accepted the mission with excitement.

"In this case, the brigades will start taking action immediately. My goal is very simple. Before dark, capture all the Japanese positions outside Beiping City. I hope that tonight, we can launch a large-scale attack on Beiping City.

Test the defense strength of Beiping City..." Liu Hua continued.

"Yes, Commander..." As soon as the words fell, several brigade commanders, with their personal guards, quickly left the temporary headquarters and ran towards the assembly area of ​​their troops...

The two regiments of the guard brigade, under the leadership of Bruce Lee, quickly rushed to the four gates of Beiping City with nearly a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and nearly 300 light and heavy machine guns that the two brigades hurriedly assembled. During the siege

Behind the troops, air defense positions began to be arranged, preparing to give the Japanese aircraft coming for reinforcements a head-on attack.

At the same time, the two main regiments of the third brigade of the direct column also began to disperse. In the vast wilderness, they collected various incendiary materials that could burn instantly and produce a large amount of thick smoke... In less than an hour's work, the surrounding people were busy

And with the help of the guerrillas, piles of thatch that had been splashed with water and wet appeared around Beiping City...

As the weather became brighter and brighter, piles of wet thatch were quickly ignited by the soldiers. Soon, thick black smoke rose from the ground. With Beiping City as the center,

Countless plumes of smoke appeared everywhere within a radius of more than ten miles... In less than half an hour, the rising smoke began to gather together. Immediately, the sky above the entire Beiping City was filled with thick smoke.

The black smoke was completely shrouded, it could be said that it blocked the sky and the sun. At this moment, if you stood on the ground and looked up, you couldn't even see the shadow of the sky.

"Commander, I believe that under the shroud of black smoke and the support of a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns from the Guard Brigade, even if the Japs come with more planes, they will not be able to do any harm to our army." Looking at his third brigade.

Thousands of soldiers worked hard for almost two hours to achieve the victory. Luo Zhihui said excitedly to the commander Liu Hua beside him.

"Well, tell the four main groups responsible for the attack that now that we have the cover of the thick smoke and the guard brigade, we no longer have to worry about the Japs' planes. Tell all the soldiers to let them attack with all their strength and strive to win the battle before night comes.

Rush to the gates of Peiping City... When the time comes, whichever unit rushes to the gates of Peiping City first, after the battle is over, I will mark the merits of that unit with great merit..." Listening to the roaring gunfire, I saw that the people in front of us were already surrounded by thick air.

The city of Beiping was completely shrouded in smoke. Commander Liu Hua looked confident and gave an order with high spirits to a combat staff officer behind him.

As the order was quickly transmitted to the hands of the four regiment commanders on the front line through radio signals, the sound of gunfire that continued to sound in the direction of the four city gates became obviously denser. However, at this moment, Peiping

Inside the city, the long-awaited air reinforcements from the Japanese army arrived as scheduled...

A bomber wing, 36 aircraft. Under the orders of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, they took off from Shanhaiguan. After a flight of more than an hour, they finally arrived at the destination of their bombing, preparing to attack Beiping City.

The Eighth Route Army troops carried out retaliatory bombings. However, after the 36 planes arrived over Peiping City after a long flight, all the pilots were frightened by the scene in front of them... because, underneath the plane, although

Intense gunshots continued to be heard. However, at this moment, the entire city of Beiping was completely shrouded in thick black smoke. The pilots flying at high altitudes could not find any bombing targets at all, and could only carry out bombings in the air.

Circling back and forth...

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army..." Looking at the scene in front of him, the captain of the Dazuo Alliance who led the team couldn't help but became furious and roared loudly to vent his dissatisfaction at this moment. However, as a young man,

The senior Japanese officers recovered their senses in the shortest possible time and thought about possible countermeasures.

In less than a few seconds, a sneer appeared on the corner of the wing commander's mouth, and he ordered to the radio in front of him: "Yoshi, order the First Aviation Group to fly into the thick smoke at low altitude and bomb all suspicious targets.

Provide fire support to the Imperial Army troops on the ground. The Second and Third Aviation Groups are responsible for guarding at high altitudes and responding to and covering the bombing operations of the First Group..."

"Buzz buzz..." Immediately, a huge roar quickly covered up the continuous sound of dense gunfire on the ground, reaching the ears of everyone on the battlefield. At the same time, 12 aircraft, in small groups,

As a unit, from different directions, they quickly dived towards the four city gates where the sound of gunfire came from. Prepare to rush into the thick smoke and fly at low altitude...

In an instant, the fast-flying planes quickly disappeared into the thick black smoke and flew into the thick smoke... However, just as they flew into the thick smoke, they could clearly see the ground

, the situation of the two warring parties and their every move. They didn't know that their car had been stared at by at least a dozen light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and there was a danger of being shrouded in dense flames at any time, and then being shot down...

"Yo Xi, no matter how much smoke the Eighth Route Army releases, it will not escape the eyes of our Kwantung Army aviation force. Now I order each aircraft to work in small groups to start attacking the targets they have discovered... After dropping the aircraft they carry

After all the bombs are dropped, return immediately. Let these Eighth Route Army know how powerful our Kwantung Army is..." Looking at the scene on the ground, a sneer appeared on the lips of the captain of the first brigade, and he excitedly issued the order to attack.

. Completely unaware that his aviation group, in a few minutes at most, would suffer an outcome that would be almost complete annihilation.

Immediately, the Japanese aircraft that rushed into the range of the ground anti-aircraft fire began to dive towards their selected bombing targets... As the targets got closer and closer to them, each of the little Japanese pilots seemed to feel that their military exploits had been compromised.

When they were in front of them, dense tongues of fire suddenly appeared around them...
