Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 8: Damage Japanese fighter planes!

After all, Liang Guoping graduated from the Japanese Army Academy.

Two rounds of artillery fire were completed.

He immediately ordered his mountain artillery battalion to move its position.

Soon, bursts of explosions were heard behind them.

"These damned Japanese are faster than I thought."

"Battalion Commander, could these be the elite artillery troops of the Japanese that you mentioned?"

"That's right. If we talk about the level of their artillery commander, he was most likely my instructor when they were studying in Japan."

Liang Guoping swallowed the dirt that had burst into his mouth and said viciously: "But now, this useless student of theirs will be shown the artillery of our Shanxi Suiyuan Army!"

"Order the brothers to enter the No. 2 artillery position, quickly set up the artillery, and be ready to provide support at any time!"

"Yes!"

The sound of gunfire continued.

The fighting was in full swing on the front line of the 358th Regiment.

The two sides fought fiercely.

On the other side, at the position of the 427th Regiment, let alone the Japanese.

There's not even a damn ghost.

When Li Dashan, commander of the 427th Regiment, saw how enthusiastically the 358th Regiment was in killing the Japanese, he immediately called the headquarters of Brigade Commander Liang.

Ask for proactive attack!

I heard that the Japanese attacking forces and the 358th Regiment were in a stalemate.

Brigade Commander Liang did not hesitate at all.

Order the 427th Regiment to move out diagonally with its main force.

Attack the attacking Japanese troops from the side to rescue the 358th Regiment.

After giving the order.

Brigade Commander Liang made a direct phone call to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.

After Fang Ligong answered the phone, he reported Brigade Commander Liang's plan to Chu Yunfei.

"Commander, if the 427th Regiment lends a hand, the pressure of a frontal battle will be much less!"

"Then let the troops seize the opportunity, delay them, and buy time for 427's attack."

"Yes!"

The 358th Regiment in terms of equipment.

The Jin-made Type 38 rifle was a copy of the Type rifle.

But due to the weak industrial base.

As a result, the performance of the Jin-made Type 65 rifle is slightly worse in all aspects.

But this does not mean that the light weapons firepower of the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is weaker than that of the Japanese army.

It's like the Czech-style 6.5mm machine gun made in Jin.

On the contrary, it is very popular among frontline officers and soldiers because of its extremely fast firing rate and high accuracy.

It was enough to suppress the Japanese invaders' Type 99 rifles during training.

The firepower configuration of the 358th Regiment is extremely high.

Even the elite Independent Mixed Brigade 11 could not gain the slightest advantage.

The offensive on the front line suffered repeated setbacks.

The flank was attacked by other troops.

Suzuki Shigeyasu, who was commanding at the front line, angrily cursed the incompetence of the air force.

If it weren't for their poor cover.

How is it possible that the attacking Locust soldiers were unable to break through the enemy positions?

These damn Chinese people!

After the flank was threatened, Suzuki Shigeyasu immediately ordered the attacking troops to retreat.

The first battalion commander Qian Bojun seized this opportunity and gave the order.

The counterattack force of the first battalion, two companies of elite infantry, launched a charge under the cover of light and heavy machine guns.

Before jumping out of the trench.

They strictly followed the tactical actions learned during training, turned off the safety, and rushed out.

For a while, the loud charge horns sounded continuously, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Fang Ligong stepped forward and stood beside Chu Yunfei.

The two stood side by side, looking at the battlefield in the distance.

As the breeze blew on his face, Fang Ligong was filled with emotion: "Commander, it seems that the Japanese army is not as difficult to deal with as we thought."

Above the sky, the piercing roar was heard again.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong looked towards the northeast.

A formation of six Japanese light bombers was flying towards Ru Yuekou.

Fang Ligong's face changed drastically. So many friendly troops were defeated by the Japanese air force without even encountering the Japanese invaders, and many people were killed or injured.

The biggest advantage that the Japanese army, which had air superiority, had over the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was that they could continuously launch bombers to bomb their positions.

Aerial bombs were powerful enough to destroy most trenches and fortifications.

Fang Ligong still looked a little worried: "Commander, if our troops chase us and the Japanese reinforcements arrive to counterattack, there will be Japanese planes in the sky, and the chasing troops may suffer heavy losses!"

"Brother Ligong, don't be impatient, let the bullet fly for a while!"

"Commander, the situation is not good. Should we hide for a while?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Why panic? The Japanese planes are still far away from us! Order the air defense company, the Japanese have let down their guard, organize anti-aircraft shooting immediately!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong walked into the forward command post.

The Japanese soldiers were being attacked from both sides.

Seeing the support aircraft in the sky, morale was instantly boosted.

"It's our plane!"

“Hi~~~!”

There were also some Japanese soldiers who were looking for death and waving at the planes in the sky on their way of retreat.

The Japanese soldiers who came to support us had not yet figured out the specific locations of the enemy and our own positions.

"Da da da~!"

"Dong dong dong~!"

The anti-aircraft company positions, which had completed preparations for anti-aircraft shooting, opened fire at the Japanese fighter planes in the sky!
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~!"

“It seems to have hit!”

"It doesn't count if we don't shoot it down. The regiment commander said before that if we shoot down a Japanese plane, we will be rewarded with three thousand dollars!"

"Brothers, hit me hard!"

"Captain, look, a Japanese plane is on fire!"

"Quick, order the troops to focus fire on this plane!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The light and heavy machine gunners in the 358th Regiment have all received corresponding anti-aircraft shooting training.

Although it is impossible to shoot down these damn Japanese planes directly.

However, the threat it posed was enough to prevent the Japanese invaders from acting rashly.

The large-caliber machine guns equipped by the anti-aircraft company are enough to pose a fatal threat to it.

Not to mention the desire to drop bombs safely.

It just circled less than one circle.

One fighter plane was damaged and caught fire.

The commanders of these Japanese devils are quite capable.

In this situation, I knew I couldn't continue wasting time.

The bomb was hastily dropped on the deserted hilltop.

Then he fled from the battlefield.

that's it.

The aviation force that these little devils had high hopes for was defeated.
The morale of the Japanese puppet troops, which had been boosted, plummeted again.
"Reporting to the commander, the commander-in-chief, the Japanese plane has flown away! Our army damaged a Japanese fighter plane, but it is not clear whether it was shot down."

"Ah."

Fang Ligong was somewhat puzzled: "Commander, this time when our troops fought against the main force of the Japanese invaders, they did not show excellent combat capabilities and their offensive capabilities were not as expected before the war. We are invincible."

"Why did our colleagues in Datong behave so badly before?"
