Chapter 289, Oolong of the Air Force
The enemy was repulsed, and the soldiers of the second battalion on the ground were cheering.

The soldiers of the air defense company jumped up and down, each and every one of them rejoiced, happier than eating meat during the Chinese New Year.

Since its establishment, the air defense company of the New Second Regiment was engaged in air defense battles for the first time, and destroyed eight enemy planes at one time, scaring the other eight to flee in panic.

Such great achievements are enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

"Haha, the little devil's plane is not very good. It fell into our firepower net, and it fell in a matter of minutes."

"That's right. In the past, we had no choice but to take the devil's planes. We could only watch them show off their power above our heads. Today, I can count my anger."

"It's more than a breath of anger. Who can scare the little devil's plane away? Our air defense company is the first. The air defense force at the headquarters is not as good as ours. Our air defense company is about to show its face!"

The soldiers discussed happily, and they were really elated.

Since the establishment of the air defense company, it has occupied the establishment of twenty machine guns and studied how to fight the plane all day long.

The soldiers in the regiment complained quite a bit, saying that they didn't fight devils with guns, which was no different from occupying a latrine and not shitting.

This time, the air defense company made a great contribution, which can be regarded as a justification for itself.

The soldiers were elated, their backs stiffened, and Yuan Lang was happy to see it, but as a commander, he wanted to pour cold water on it.

"Don't be too happy, this time I took advantage of the surprise and dealt a serious blow to the little devil.

Little devils will also have a long memory, so there will be no advantage to take advantage of in the future, it depends on your real skills that you usually train. "

"Advisor Yuan is right, we have been taught." The company commander of the air defense company thanked him sincerely.

The victory achieved this time was due to the fact that the enemy was unprepared and Advisor Yuan commanded properly.

If you get a little achievement and become arrogant, you will not be far from falling.

"Consultant Yuan, the team leader is on the phone."

Yuan Lang quickly stepped forward to take the microphone from the soldier: "Regimental Commander."

Li Yunlong on the other side of the phone laughed loudly: "The air defense company you commanded did a good job. You killed eight planes in one go and scared the enemy away. I have to apply for a collective award with the higher-ups to reward you."

If it was to apply for an award for Yuan Lang personally, then he would definitely refuse.After all, he has received many awards.

But for the air defense company as a whole, this award is very important, it is their recognition.

Yuan Lang naturally agreed.

Li Yunlong asked again: "The arsenal is here. I don't think the little devil will give up. The plane may come again. Are you sure that you will hit him eight more?"

It's really hard to say.

Just like what Yuan Lang said just now, this time it was taken by surprise, and the devil will have a long memory if he suffers.

The planes simply stretched their altitude, spread out, and looked for areas of weak air defense.

With the current situation of the air defense company, it is difficult to achieve excellent results.We can only ensure the safety of the airspace above the position as much as possible.

If the enemy's plane bombs with all its might, there is a high probability of breaking through the blockade.

Just like the naval battle that took place in the Pacific Ocean later, all the places on the warship where anti-aircraft machine guns could be placed were piled up.

But it still couldn't stop the plane from sinking the warship.

It's just that it can make the enemy plane pay enough to make it extremely difficult to achieve results.

Yuan Lang was explaining the situation to Li Yunlong when the air defense company was suddenly shelled.

"Hidden, get down."

The sudden shelling caught him off guard.The cadres immediately directed the anti-aircraft guns.

Yuan Lang, who was on the phone, couldn't help cursing: "The little devil is a sloth, and his reaction is too slow, what a ghost!"

He also got down quickly to prevent the shell fragments from killing him.

It is rare to see Yuan Lang in a fit of rage, and Li Yunlong on the other end of the phone thought it was funny: "You shot down eight other planes, the little devil must have revenge on you!"

"Lie down well, wait for the devils to attack again, and I will let the artillery company avenge you."

"Hey...hey..."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Lang threw the receiver aside, complaining nonsense.If the howitzer was still there, he would have to blow up the devil's artillery position.

In fact, despite the fierce shelling by the devils, the air defense company's position is on the hillside, with stones everywhere, and many hiding places.

Cannons with a caliber of or mm, when the shells hit the hillside, do not have much lethal effect.

Annoyed, the main reason is that Yuan Lang has always commanded the artillery to bomb the devils. When did he love the bombardment of the devils, he couldn't accept it for a while.

And the devil's shelling is indeed a bit strange, it came a little too late.

At the air force base in Taiyuan, Taro Ikeda held a telegram in his hand, his face was livid.

"General, bring everyone here."

The pilots who returned from Huangya Cave looked sluggish, like geese.

"What's the matter, it's like the eggplant beaten by Shuang, isn't it very powerful?"

Ikeda Taro's sharp eyes swept over them, as if he was going to eat people.

These bastards have completely embarrassed their Air Force.Once Ushijima spreads his big mouth, Ikeda will become a laughing stock.

The subordinates are all cowards and deserters, so what kind of quality will the general who leads them be?
The answer is obvious.

If this matter was placed in the army, the deserters would be pulled out and shot on the spot.

Ikeda suppressed the evil fire in his stomach, spitting and cursing.

The pilots all bowed their heads in silence and reprimanded each other silently.Until the general was tired of cursing, Major Okamoto, the pilot with the highest military rank, mustered up the courage to explain the reason for their retreat.

"General, have you ever seen eight planes suddenly shot down?"

Ikeda was slightly stunned for a moment, the air force of the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible in the Asia-Pacific region at this time.

No opponent can pose a threat to them, and it is difficult for the imperial army to drop eight planes in the most intense air battle, let alone in a short time.

"In an instant, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower network suddenly appeared, Captain Zhutian and the others had no time to react, and they were all shot down.

Who knows how much the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower actually has?We continue to carry out the task, and it is very likely that we will follow in the footsteps of Captain Takeda and the others.

General, as soldiers of the Empire we are not afraid of sacrifice, but such sacrifices are worthless.

A small position can be taken by the army's red deer with the spirit of bushido. Is it necessary to use precious aircraft to take this risk that should not be owned? "

Makes sense.

Ikeda almost believed it, he was really eloquent, he should not be a pilot, but an orator.

Okamoto's words are right, it is extremely unworthy to let precious aircraft and pilots take risks for the Army Red Deer.

In other circumstances, Ikeda would definitely agree.

But this time, Okamoto and the others became deserters, which caused extremely bad effects.

In order to save the Air Force's face, it is necessary to continue to support, even at the risk of being shot down by the enemy.

Ikeda issued a death order, gave Okamoto and the others a chance to perform their crimes, and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, the army's artillery will support you, and the hospital can't feel at ease in air defense."

Ten minutes later, the pilot drove the plane with full fuel and reluctantly flew in the direction of Huangyadong.

Bastard, to put it lightly, it's not him who will be beaten down.

……

After a few days, Li Yunlong got used to the rumbling sound of cannons, and even sometimes he felt uncomfortable if he didn't listen to it.

"The little devil has nothing new, it's just old-fashioned. The artillery bombards, the infantry rushes. After the infantry rushes, the artillery bombards again."

Looking at the artillery shells that kept falling on the second battalion's position, Li Yunlong despised the Japanese army's tactics.

It's so dull.

You really have to study hard. China figured out 2000 strategies more than 36 years ago.

If it weren't for their poor weapons and equipment, how could the little devil have the opportunity to lie on his head and shit and pee to show off his might.

He had been beaten so long ago that he didn't even recognize his mother.

The sound of the cannon gradually faded, and the devil's plane could be seen coming from a distance.

Li Yunlong muttered: "The little devil doesn't have a long memory, so I have to give these eight planes as well."

The aircraft wanted to blow up the position of the Second Battalion, of course it could do it, but under the attack of the anti-aircraft firepower net, at least half of the aircraft had to be blown up.

He wants to see how many planes the little devil has to send.

"Regimental Commander, a large number of enemies have been found at the pass of Zuohui Mountain, and the enemy has launched a fierce attack."

Li Yunlong suddenly realized, and cooperating with the little devil, he made a detour to the side and rear.

He answered the phone: "I'm Li Yunlong, how's the situation?"

The Fourth Battalion is guarding the Zuohuishan pass, which is also three minefields and two lines of defense, roughly the same as here.

The Fourth Battalion Commander Hui reported: "The situation is good. Although there are more than 1000 enemies discovered, their strength cannot be deployed.

The enemy is shelling before the attack and is about to attack.Our battalion has the confidence to hold its ground and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. "

The battle of the first battalion two days ago is the best example.

The situation of the Fourth Battalion is not as good as that of the First Battalion, but it is not a matter of mud, and there should be no problem in a short time.

Li Yunlong was very relieved, and hung up the phone after a few words of advice.

Zhang Dabiao next to him stared at the devil's plane for a long time: "Commander, look at the devil's plane, they seem to be heading for the Fourth Battalion."

The eight planes made a detour, far away from the air defense companies on both sides of the Second Battalion, and headed for the Zuohuishan pass.

When Li Yunlong discovered the enemy's intentions, he knew something bad happened.

In order to deal a fatal blow to the enemy's air force, the main force of the air defense company was transferred to the front.

There was no systematic anti-aircraft firepower in the Fourth Battalion, and the Devil's planes just rushed to the weak point.

The position of the Fourth Battalion was bombed by the Devil's planes one after another, causing heavy casualties.

"Hey, hello, Fourth Battalion Commander!"

"Regiment commander, I am the deputy of the th company. The devils have rushed up, and our battalion commander is directing the battle."

Li Yunlong scolded his mother angrily: "Damn, tell your battalion commander that the eight devil's planes are heading to your side, organize air defense immediately. If it's too late, then mess with the devil."

Zuohuishan Pass, the position of the th Battalion and th Company.

The situation on the battlefield is far from as good as the fourth battalion commander said.

The attacking Japanese army consisted of more than 2000 people in two brigades, and the artillery fire was also full.

At the beginning, the enemy did not place any hope on the artillery fire to defeat the eight routes on the position.

Instead, the artillery fire was concentrated in the minefield, and dense shells were used to detonate the mines to open a safe passage.

For the Japanese army who has always searched, this is a very extravagant behavior.

Unusual behavior naturally has a strong purpose.

After the artillery blasted, the Japanese troops of the two squadrons launched a group charge.

The purpose is very clear, the hit is a surprise.You are not given time to organize your defense, and occupy the position as quickly as possible.

The Fourth Battalion Commander got the news, and the sweat on Da Dongdong's forehead couldn't stop dripping down.

For them right now, aircraft bombing is much more of a threat than shelling.

To deploy anti-aircraft firepower, the anti-aircraft company has been transferred away, and it is enough to set up light and heavy machine guns?
The commander of the Fourth Battalion also wanted to scold his mother, if a random machine gun can be used, then why do you need an air defense company!
"Battalion Commander, make up your mind!"

The commander of the th company urged.

The fourth battalion commander took off his hat and raised a red tasseled gun: "Bayonet fight with the devil, as long as they are mixed together, the little devil's plane will not dare to blow up randomly."

"Also, let the air defense company support quickly, and the artillery company is also ready."

A large number of Japanese troops are approaching, and the devil's plane can be seen from a distance.

On the battlefield, the trumpeter jumped out and blew the charge horn.

The beeping of the trumpet is the most vivid order.

Most of the troops of the Eighth Route Army, due to the shortage of ammunition, often failed to fire a few shots, and would blow the charge horn and fight the enemy with bayonets.

For the New Second Regiment, it has been a long time since they fought with bayonets.

But that doesn't mean they're rusty.

More than 100 soldiers jumped out of the trenches one after another, flashed their bayonets that were glowing under the winter sun, and charged towards the enemy.

"Come on!"

"kill!"

Facing the eight routes that jumped out of the trenches and rushed up, the attacking Japanese army almost wept with joy.

It's not easy!
First, we went through the minefield that exploded from time to time. Under the threat of machine guns and grenades, a lot of people fell down.

Finally, there was room for them to play.

The Japanese army advocated bayonet fighting, and their skills were naturally very good. There was no reason to back down, and it was impossible to back down.

Gray and khaki, immediately mixed together.

The bayonets were colliding and blood was being shed.

The scene was extremely tragic.

The air force, which arrived belatedly, first sent a test plane to confirm that there was no anti-aircraft firepower, and then lowered the altitude and circled for observation.

Seen from a high altitude, the gray and yellow crowd is like two groups of ants of different colors mixed together, and it is impossible to distinguish them.

How to do?
It is the question of the pilots at this time.

Major Okamoto was the first to give an answer. He flew a plane at the position of the second battalion and dropped a large number of bombs.

In the empty position, the explosion was louder than the explosion, and a large amount of dust was lifted up, like the explosion of an eight-magnitude earthquake.

The position was blown upside down.

Supporting the army's offensive operations, this is it!
The other pilots followed suit and dropped bombs on the Fourth Battalion's position and even the suspicious areas behind.

Then the victory comes.

Colonel Ueno, who directed the attack of the two infantry brigades, saw the air force bombing the empty position through the binoculars in the rear, and his eyes almost popped out.

He cursed angrily:

"Bastard, are you blind?"

Not necessarily, if he is really blind, it is also possible that a bomb is thrown on his head.

Later, the U.S. Air Force blew up its generals into the sky.

PS: U.S. Army Lieutenant General McNair: Are you talking about me?
