Japanese army position.
Watching the scene in the sky where Japanese aircraft were completely tortured.
Kuribayashi Tadamichi, who was about to lead his troops to attack, was dumbfounded.
The Japanese cavalry, Japanese tank soldiers, Japanese infantry and Japanese artillerymen were all dumbfounded, with faces full of disbelief.
Most of the Japanese, including Tadamichi Kuribayashi, couldn't believe this was true.
However, the Japanese aircraft that exploded in the sky and the booming and rumbling sounds indicated that this was a cruel fact.
This is simply unimaginable. The Japanese aviation force is not strong in European and American countries, but it can move sideways on the Chinese battlefield.
Since the beginning of the war between China and Japan, the Japanese aviation forces have only been defeated a few times in air battles. Most of the time, they fought against Japanese air forces.
But right now, the Imperial Japanese Air Force has been completely beaten in the air battle.
Those aircraft that suddenly appeared from nowhere had a small turning radius, extremely fast speed, and powerful firepower. The Japanese fighter jets were no match for them, let alone bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.
Suddenly, Tadashi Kuribayashi's pupils shrank.
He remembered what Kazuki Yamamoto once said to him.
The Eighth Route Army did have air support and appeared twice in total, once near the Huangyadong Arsenal and once near the Huting stronghold.
These two air supports shattered an entire Japanese infantry regiment each time.
Thinking of this, Tadashi Kuribayashi's expression suddenly changed, he put down his telescope and said: "Send the order as quickly as possible, and all troops will move to Taiyuan immediately!"
After finishing speaking, Tadamichi Kuribayashi saw that Lieutenant Colonel Harada was still taking pictures, so he snatched the camera away.
He shouted loudly: "Transfer to Taiyuan immediately!"
In the field of view of the telescope, Kuribayashi Tadamichi saw aerial bombs hanging under the belly of the enemy aircraft. These aerial bombs were very powerful at first glance.
After rushing out of the headquarters, Tadamichi Ribayashi mounted a military horse, turned the horse's head and ran away.
A group of Japanese staff officers mounted their military horses and followed.
Those Japanese soldiers were in a miserable situation. Not only did they have to pack their things, they also had no horses to ride on.
As the order to retreat was issued, and Tadashi Ribayashi took the lead in escaping, all the Japanese retreated toward Taiyuan.
The cavalry rode on horses, the tank soldiers drove tanks, and the infantry dispersed and ran wildly across the plains.
The worst thing was the artillery regiment, which couldn't move fast with the cannons and was left behind at the very back.
In air combat.
After several encounters, more than half of the Japanese planes were lost, and the remaining Japanese pilots were stunned, knowing that they were no match, so they all scattered and fled.
The bombers chased the Japanese ground troops, while the fighter jets scattered to chase the escaping Japanese planes.
Not long after, the B9 bomber carrying aerial bombs approached the Japanese artillery regiment.
…
"idiot!"
"Abandon the cannon, everyone disperse!"
Captain Sakai Ginzo of the 108th Artillery Regiment, holding a telescope, roared at the top of his lungs.
Through the field of view of the telescope, Colonel Sakai Ginzo looked at the huge bomber like a flying fortress, with the bomb bay already open.
But it's too late.
Huge cylindrical cannonballs suddenly rolled down from the sky.
Sakai Ginzo's face turned pale at this moment: "Baga, lie down quickly!"
As soon as Sakai finished speaking, he threw himself to the ground like a dog. Now he regretted it very much. He would have known that he would have run away with Tadamichi Kuribayashi on his military horse.
The Japanese artillerymen quickly dispersed and lay down.
Huge aerial bombs fell hard like dumplings.
As the aerial bomb fell, a unique scream was heard. As the B9 bomber flew directly over the Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the aerial bomb just landed.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Circles of huge air waves were visible to the naked eye, accompanied by orange-red mushroom clouds rising and spreading in all directions.
Countless Japanese artillerymen, mules and horses were torn into pieces in an instant, and Japanese howitzers and mountain artillery were thrown up violently.
Landslides and ground cracks, mountains are shaken, and violent explosions shake the sky.
The mushroom clouds raised by the aerial bomb explosion were like lifting up a carpet, spreading forward rapidly at the speed of the aircraft, and rolled up the entire Japanese artillery regiment under the carpet.
Some Japanese infantrymen running in front of the Japanese artillery regiment not far away were also swept into the carpet.
After dropping their aerial bombs, the 10 B9 bombers flew back into the distance without looking back.
This time there were only 10 B9 bombers, so the bombing intensity was two levels less than the previous two times. Otherwise, one or two thousand more Japs could have been killed.
Tadamichi Kuribayashi looked back from his military horse a few kilometers away, his face full of horror.
With just such a wave of bombing, an artillery regiment and hundreds of Locust Army infantry were wiped out in just a few dozen seconds. With such density of bombing, it was almost impossible for any soldier to survive.
This reminded Tadayoshi Kuribayashi of the Nomonkan War period.
Zhukov assembled four tank brigades, more than 300 aircraft and more than 250 artillery pieces. The aircraft fleet roared in the sky, the heavy artillery roared on the ground, aerial bombs and large-caliber artillery shells burned the Japanese position Zhecheng into a sea of fire. The density of firepower hit the Japanese army
Never seen before.
And the current scene is very similar to the battle at Nomenkan, except that the scale is not that big, large-caliber heavy artillery, heavy tanks, and even aircraft are all there.
This Li Yunlong is too dangerous and will definitely be a serious problem for the Locust Army in the future!
Thinking of this, Kuribayashi Tadashi suddenly whipped the horse's butt with the whip in his hand, causing the horse to run a little faster.
…
News that the Japanese artillery regiment was carpet-bombed by aerial bombs reached the new regiment headquarters.
The corners of Captain Li's mouth curled up slightly.
The key to winning this battle is that Boss Chen's plane can arrive in time.
Boss Chen's plane did not disappoint Li Yunlong. Although the Japanese bombers blew up more than a dozen tanks, these tanks could be reimbursed, which meant there was no loss.
Li Yunlong admitted that he was gambling, but he was right.
In this battle, the 108th Japanese Artillery Regiment was completely wiped out, the 13th Tank Regiment was severely damaged, the 13th Cavalry Regiment suffered more than half of its casualties, the 39th Infantry Regiment suffered most of its casualties, and the 6th Infantry Regiment suffered the least casualties.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The entire Ritsubayashi detachment was severely damaged.
Moreover, most of the Japanese planes were killed. Boss Chen's fighter jets were already chasing them. They might be able to kill all the Japanese planes and blow up the Japanese airport as well.
This was a good start for the subsequent anti-mopping operations.
Li Yunlong's King Bomb has already played out one card, leaving only a tank battalion and a heavy artillery battalion.
However, the tank regiment and artillery regiment of the Japanese 10th Division that had been strengthened during the war only had more than 10 tanks left, and even the 39th Regiment of the 8th Brigade was severely damaged.
Now Commander Li became more and more confident that the New Regiment could defeat the 10th Division in the counter-mopping up.
"Chief of Staff Wang!" Li Yunlong turned and shouted.
"Arrived!" Wang Dehou responded loudly.
With a smile, Li Yunlong said: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that Boss Chen's plane arrived in time and the Lilin detachment was severely damaged."
"yes!"
Wang Dehou straightened up.
Li Yunlong looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon, so he ordered his troops to withdraw and return to the base area in northwest Shanxi.
If you chase the Japs at this time, you will definitely not be able to catch up, not to mention that there are still several Japs divisions in Taiyuan ready for reinforcements at any time.
Chief of Staff Wang was drafting a telegram, and the officers at the headquarters began to pack things.
Xing Zhiguo said in a worried tone: "Although we won the battle this time, Boss Chen's intelligence personnel at the Japanese Army Headquarters may be in danger of being exposed."
"That's true." Zhao Gang also looked worried, "But I believe Boss Chen will have a solution."
Needless to say, Boss Chen, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also guessed it.
The Japanese army's fishing plan was probably exposed by Boss Chen's intelligence personnel. That old devil Okamura Neji deliberately leaked the fake combat plan to Boss Chen's intelligence personnel.
But that old devil Okamura Neiji didn't expect that there was more than one intelligence officer of Boss Chen in the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters.
Being able to place intelligence personnel into the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters shows how powerful Boss Chen is.
However, this time I am afraid that several of Boss Chen's intelligence officers in the Japanese military headquarters will suffer.
"Lao Li, can we think of a way?"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong: "For example, frame up."
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Let's not get involved in this. We don't know which officer is Boss Chen's intelligence agent. If the frame-up is framed on a real intelligence agent, it will be a bad thing."
Zhao Gang nodded and thought about it carefully. For a while, he really couldn't think of any good solution.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
In the Operations Department, Okamura Neiji and several operational staff are waiting for news about the Xinzhou battlefield.
The number of tanks used by the Eighth Route Army in a tank regiment was indeed unexpected, but Okamura Neiji felt that it was not a big problem.
Couldn't the 13th Tank Regiment plus 80 aircraft still destroy the Eighth Route Army's tanks?
At this moment, the section chief of the Peking Special Higher Education Course, the chief of the Peking Secret Service, and Colonel Matsui walked in quickly and reported to Okamura Neji:
"Your Excellency, General, after being interrogated by the Special High School Division, Ohashi Changan confessed to betraying the interests of the Japanese Empire."
After the battle of Xinzhou started, Ohashi Changan had been arrested, and the military intelligence personnel in the barbecue shop of the military intelligence point were also arrested.
Okamura Neji narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi was leaked by Ohashi Tsunea?"
"This..." Matsui Nan handed the folder in his hand to Okamura Neiji and said, "Ohashi Changan didn't explain it. This is some information he told. In addition, the Special High School Section found a box of gold bars from Ohashi Changan's house.
"
Okamura Neiji took the folder and glanced at it. Ohashi Changan only told some irrelevant information.
Although this information is enough to cause death, it is not what Neji Okamura wants.
"Continue the trial."
Okamura Neji's tone was filled with murderous intent. For the death of Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi, Okamura Neji needed to give an explanation to the base camp.
Rather than giving an explanation to the base camp, Okamura Neiji wanted to uncover the spies hiding in the North China Front headquarters.
"Hi!"
Matsui Nan suddenly paused, turned around and left.
At this moment, the communications staff hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Excellency, General, the aviation unit of the 2nd Flying Division was attacked by an unidentified enemy plane over Xinzhou and suffered heavy losses!"
"Nani?"
Okamura Neji suddenly turned his head and his expression changed drastically.
